Tag: Zero fiber diet

Over 90% of a carnivore diet is composed of animal products, which naturally contain zero dietary fiber. Yet, many followers report regular digestion and improved gut health, leading many to ask: how do people get fiber on a carnivore diet, or do they even need it at all? This diet operates on different digestive principles, relying on animal-based nutrients to support the gut.

According to a 2024 review published in *Assessing the Nutrient Composition of a Carnivore Diet*, fiber intake was significantly below recommended levels in all carnivore meal plans studied. So, is carnivore diet a low fiber diet? By definition, yes, as it eliminates all plant-based food sources, leading to a zero-fiber intake.
