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 thoughts 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, after that’s being said about fiber, fiber is not going to create any
complications for you in normal portions. 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.
