Btw — I once ate nothing but munster cheese for 5 days as an experiment. I was neither constipated nor had diarrhea. Energy was a little lower though.

I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts on the idea that fiber is a problem (the oft-cited “Fiber Menace”). Is it perhaps, as Crystal mentioned, that this only applies to things like guar gum, psyillium husk, and other saw-dust like fibers? Are flax seeds, fruits, and veggies different? If so, how? I would love to see a comprehensive post about this subject, as it’s something there’s been a bit of a point of contention within the low-carb community.

I also agree that 75g of fiber is excessive, as matter of sheer volume. I’m a 22 year old who lifts heavy and intensely, and I probably average 2500 calories/day. Even with my fiber comes from veggies, fruit, and nuts (and averaging 30% fiber by content), I’m getting about 100g of total CHO per day, with about 30-35g of that coming from fiber. Without ramping up my carbs, I don’t see how 70+ grams is possible. That being said, I do follow your advice to eat “something green with every meal!”

I definitely feel better (and move better!) when I have more fiber, but Dr Eades – among others – has expressed concern that this much fiber irritates the bowel and is damaging in the long run. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
