THE 3-WEEK DIET—INTRODUCTION MANUAL
FIBER
Fiber is actually a carbohydrate but I felt the need to devote a specific section to fiber because of
the misinformation surrounding it. In most low-carb diets, fiber carbohydrates are not counted as
“dangerous” weight-gaining carbohydrates. This is because fiber cannot be digested by the human
body. Since fiber is not digested by the body, it does not create a rapid rise in blood sugar like other
carbohydrates.
But beware. There are two schools of though on fiber. While modern medicine encourages a diet
high in fiber, there are other medical researchers that state too much fiber is the cause of numerous
diseases and irregularities such as constipation, IBS, Chron’s disease, colon cancer and others. If
you’d like to see some of the latest research on fiber and how it may be causing irreparable damage
to your body, I strongly encourage you to visit www.GutSense.org.
Now, that being said about fiber…in normal does, fiber is not going to create any complications
for you. However, you should be sure to get your fiber from vegetables and salad greens rather than
forcing yourself to get 30 grams per day as recommended by the mainstream medical community.
If you are concerned about constipation, some researchers believe that constipation itself is caused
by too much fiber in the diet. Increasing your water intake during this diet is essential to good
health, proper kidney functioning…and it has remarkable effects on relieving constipation.
