But meat, seafood, and poultry contain every nutrient we need. The question is, how much do you need?

Oh, well, fiber is not a nutrient.

There are different definitions of carnivore, but the strictest sort of purest definition of carnivore is animal foods only. And fiber comes from plants, so it's fiber-free. A true carnivore diet is fiber-free.

Fiber is very helpful. And I spell this out in the book because we have a lot of half-truths in our minds about food. Even people who are paying really close attention to nutrition science have a lot of half-truths in their minds about food. So yes, fiber, for example, you're exactly right, lowers glucose spikes. But the glucose is coming from a diet that's too high in sugar.

But the glucose is coming from a diet that's too high in sugar.

And so you won't get glucose spikes if you regulate your glucose levels. So that's one interesting thing about fiber. So if you're eating a high-carbohydrate diet, Fiber can soften your glucose spikes, and that's a plus. But there's a more effective way to lower your glucose spikes is to not get a glucose spike in the first place.

And that may not require taking all the carbohydrate out of your diet. It might just mean lowering it to your personal tolerance. Another thing people often say about fiber is that it sweeps your colon clean of toxins that might otherwise build up and cause problems. But fiber, there's no evidence that fiber is sweeping anything clean or there's never been a study that demonstrates this.

It's really just a belief. about what we imagine fibers being like the broom of the intestines. But that's just a belief. There's no science behind that whatsoever. The intestines clean themselves. The lining sheds regularly, actually very frequently, and the border of the intestines sweep themselves clean. So the intestine knows how to take care of itself that way.
