Fiber
Fiber is actually a carbohydrate but its different form. In fact, 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
the rapid rise in blood sugar like other carbohydrates and therefore it doesn’t have the insulin
response that other carbs do.
But beware: there are two schools of thought on fiber. While modern medicine encourages a
diet high in fiber, there are other medical researchers who state that too much fiber is the cause
of numerous diseases and irregularities such as constipation, IBS, Crohn’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.GutSenutSensese.org.
Now, that being said about fiber … in normal doses, fiber is not going to create any complications
for you. It will actually make you feel full faster. 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. The trouble begins when you try to ‘force’
the fiber by consuming the supplements.
Several misconceptions are linked with constipation. Despite it can help in easing the
constipation, several others studies concluded that the excessive fiber intake in the diet can
cause the constipation. Increasing your water intake during this diet is essential for good health,
proper functioning and it has remarkable effects on relieving constipation.
