Fibre Intake (Was Counterintuitive Fatloss)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

In regard to fibre intake, I have a colon hygenist that I frequently

collaborate with who states that people can become constipated on

high fibre diets just as easy as low fibre diets.

It all comes down an individuals genetic hereditary make up towards

food. A simple example of this is Eskimoes. Eskimoes predominately

eat 90% protiens, fats and oils, and they are generally not

associated with colon rectory problems.

In short the old this for that approach is flawed. What is good for

one person will have no affect on another and make the 3rd person

feel worse.
