@ffskier You might not realize this, but I was on keto back when the whole “potato starch” and “probiotics” craze was going around. Took tons of potato starch (and other “prebiotics”) and many, many different varieties of probiotics. The end result? No benefits I could see, and only detriments. At least a year doing this. Have data back from then showing I could stay in ketosis while eating potato starch.
@Steelerfan2024 That is what people say, that fiber causes people to feel fuller. I see no evidence of that though. Here’s one study for instance:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07315724.2013.791194
This is an illustration of what happens in this area. In epidemiological (epi) studies, there’s a correlation between people who (say they) eat more fiber and lower body weight (or any number of other potential benefits). But when they actually do an RCT (randomized controlled trial), fiber pretty much fails most times.
For anyone who feels better eating fiber, then do so. Don’t let me stop you. But don’t try to apply the perceived benefits you get to other (like me) who don’t get the same benefits and in fact get detriments instead.
