Not quite sure how these low carbers end up eating little fibre. I'm
low carbing by removing all high carb veg from my diet (rice, wheat,
potatoes, etc.) and substituting some lower carb veg, such as cabbage
& broccoli, some extra meat and fish. As a result I now eat far more
fibre, and could probably win prizes with my turds if they held turd
competitions. Never been bigger, more regular, or healthier.
Are these guys eating no veg?
