so I recently had another question

related to someone having constipation

and she wanted to know should I consume

more fiber so let’s just dive in and

talk about it

so fiber is one of those things that

they will tell you to consume to prevent

colon cancer right you’ve probably heard

that a million times it actually does

not prevent colon cancer and I’m going

to put some links down below you got to

check this out in fact nearly every

single recommendation that they will

tell you some day I’m gonna find out who

they is is not just completely false

it’s the complete opposite in many cases

ok and a lot of studies they use

involving fiber is not from vegetable

fiber

it’s from gar gum or some other fiber so

you need to know that now I am the guy

that recommends seven to ten cups of

vegetables or salad every single day but

not necessarily just for the fiber it’s

for the nutrients it’s for the final

nutrients you know minerals and vitamins

and things like that

yes the fiber will help because it feeds

the colon but if your digestive system

is compromised okay and you don’t have

the capacity to digest this much

vegetable what’s gonna happen is when

you add all these vegetables you’re

gonna get gas and bloating and pain so

here are the conditions in which you

would not want to consume this much

salad or vegetables or fiber okay if you

had constipation if you had

diverticulitis if you have bloating

abdominal pain IBS food allergies SIBO

in which you have too much bacteria in

the small intestine when you should have

it in a large if you have hemorrhoids or

even rectal bleeding so being

constipated is very similar to the

traffic in Washington DC right around

4:30 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon on a

weekday

it is so congested bumper-to-bumper

you’re not moving at all in fact I’m in

Virginia now coming here I was in the

traffic jam it took me forever to get

here so do we want to add more cars to

the congestion do we want to have more

fiber to a colon that’s already impacted

it’s illogical

we don’t want to add more bulk to a

congested : what do we want to do we

want to do in term in fasting why the

time it takes for food to go through you

is roughly about 35 to 40 hours okay not

24 hours it’s like longer than that it’s

35 to 40 hours so if you start climbing

down the frequency of eating you’ll give

your system a chance to process this

food and that would be the most

important thing that I would recommend

start doing and fasting immediately and

I have a link down below if you’re new

to my channel I would also cut out fiber

including vegetables for a month now

there’s a new trend nail called the

carnivore diet where a lot of people are

cutting out fiber and vegetables and

they’re getting great improvements with

their digestion so I’m gonna do a

separate video in the carnivore diet the

reason why it works for a lot of people

is you’re bringing the carbs down to

zero and most people have too much

insulin so right there you’re going to

drop the inflammation in the body if you

have any digestive issues and then you

take away this fiber that’s irritating

it so much you’re gonna feel great okay

there is a correct way to do it I

personally don’t do it I find I do much

better on a combination of vegetables

and animal products okay

and if you’re only eating like muscle

meat you’re not doing organ meats I

think that’s a big mistake but there is

a way to do it if you wanted to go that

route to test it out to see if your body

responds to it but if your system is

working and you don’t have these issues

my opinion is that the nutrients in the

vegetables aren’t going to help you more

than they’re gonna hurt you in fact I

haven’t heard any studies of the long

term chronic problem with eating

vegetables okay it’s just not going to

happen and also realize that fiber is

not digested by you your body can’t

digest it okay it’s your microbes so if

there’s a micro problem either too many

microbes or not enough you’re gonna have

a hard time with fiber because you’re

gonna get excessive what’s called

fermentation and you’re going to develop

more methane gas okay hydrogen gas or

carbon dioxide or certain types of gases

because of the imbalance of microbes in

your gut now another interesting

when I was trying to be a vegan in my

20s I did not do well it tore up my

intestine

I always feel bloated I was feeling

depressed and then I switched over to

more meat and what was interesting back

then was here I was eating fatty

hamburger and buffalo burgers without

the bun or anything and my bowels would

just go I’m like there’s there’s no

fiber in there how could I actually go

well that was the stimulation of bile

when you increase your fat you stimulate

and release something called bile salts

from your your liver that’s stored in

the gallbladder well by all faults are a

lubricant it’s going to lubricate the

colon and help your digestion so if you

have digestive problems go real low on

the vegetables and maybe even cut them

out for a period of time but I do find

that when you add more vegetables or

fiber you make this worse and some of

you might respond to replacing your

fiber with fermented vegetables okay and

you’ll do very well unless you have this

condition right here which is SIBO so

you just have to test it out and this is

basically a situation where you don’t

want to add fiber and you don’t want to

probiotics because you have too many

bacteria already in the small intestine

you can either get a test to figure this

out or you can just take probiotics and

see if it makes you feel better if it

makes you feel worse then we we might

have a situation right here alright guys

there you have it I’ll see in the next
