When you're consuming a diet of nearly 100% meat, wouldn't the addition of soluble and insoluble fibers assist your digestive system in properly moving the food matter through your body, and help relieve the constipation that so often comes with this sort of diet? I'm still learning about all this and trying to understand all the ins and outs.

You poop incredibly well on an all meat diet. Don’t ask how I know…
When I did keto before, I was shitting rocks maybe twice a week. My particular issue is that I'm also on opiates which cause constipation on their own. I'm worried that if I go all meat, ill never shit again. That's why I was wondering about the fiber because my doc recommended it to help with constipation.
I thought the same that you’d have a hard time going but it turned out exact opposite.
Do you know if fiber has some sort of detrimental impact on the meat diet? Or is it just unnecessary?
I don’t know
Ok that's cool. I appreciate the info!
Going all meat - I’ve never felt better. All bloat gone, no inflammation, felt great.
I had a hard time keeping it up though, I just got tired of eating only meat. But once you go on carbs, easy to slip back into old habits 😔
My motivation is to lose some weight. I did really well on the Atkins diet way back in the early 00's. Got myself down to 185 which is probably about 15-20lbs less than my natural weight. I'm not trying to get that low again, but I would like to get to the 200-210 range. I gotta lose about 40lbs. I'm pretty much convinced that the Carnivore diet is the way to go, but there's just a few details I want to get cleared up before I fully commit. I'm hoping to be able to get started next week, and reach my goal by the end of the Summer.
