Subscribe to Tamara Walpole on YouTubeWill a low fiber diet cause constipation? This was the burning question I had for Konstantin! From his own debilitating gut health experiences and through his research and writing over the last 20+ years, Konstantin reveals the truth on the role of excess fibre in the diet and how it can actually hinder or cause the digestive issues that we’re told it should help, such as IBS, IBD, constipation, diverticulosis and haemorrhoids. Fibre in the diet isn’t the enemy, but rather the fact that the government recommends we aim for 25-40g of fibre per day to be healthy is the part where we’re misled and could be hurting rather than helping us.See these fascinating highlights:7:00 - Fiber Menace, still as relevant as ever on its 20th Anniversary11:30 - Trying to meet the recommended 20-40g fibre per day causing more harm than good?20:30 - Is fiber as important to gut motility as we thought?24:15 - What are healthy bowel movements?30:00 - The role of fat in gut motility33:30 - Konstantin’s take on The Carnivore Diet42:10 - Struggling with gut issues and want to reduce fiber safely?
