Ketchup, bread and fruit juice all have fiber. So they do in fact increase the dietary fiber.
Whether or not your diet is “low fiber” is decided by how much of these things you eat. If you eat a low quantity your diet will be low in fiber.
I wonder what the "Western Style" diet consists of then, since it so low in fiber.
Animal products would be my guess since they don’t contain any fiber at all.
So just meat without anything else?
Since fiber only comes from plants, it’s implied that “low-fiber diet” just means less fiber than what we need. Not necessarily meat without anything else.
Hey it's fine, it sounds like your mind is already made up. You shouldn't worry too much about what random strangers say on the internet either way.
