Fiber Maxing
Apparently zoomers are discovering the dietary magic of fiber. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/style/fibermaxxing-tiktok-trend.html

How about you? Do you consume ample fiber in your diet? I know I do. =)

Brown rice is a pain in the butt, since it takes twice as long to cook as regular rice, but is worth it. With butter chicken sauce or vindaloo sauce and cubed Spam.

Also, the quinoa salad from Costco is nice on a hot summer day.
I get those brown rice ramens. There's the fear of arsenic, but I've been ok. I don't eat a ton of them. I eat of broccoli and other plant based stuff. Lots of lentils too. I love curried lentils.

True. Fully plant based eating is a fiber extravaganza.

I love chickpeas. I always have a couple of cans on hand.
Soak chickpea overnight, drain, bake in oven 40 minutes , shake them in a bag with pepper seasoning or whatever flavour you want. Healthy potato crisps

I'm a vegan and I like making salads and Asian cooking, so yes I get plenty of fiber.

Fiber is toxic junk you've no need or reason to consume in any amount.

Looks like you need a little fact check there... According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center:

A diet rich in high-fiber foods can reduce your overall calorie intake and help you maintain a healthy weight, which is vital to reducing cancer risk.

High-fiber foods... basically meaning fruits, veggies, beans, whole grains... things vegans typically eat lots of.

Low-fiber foods would be... animal product foods, basically...

:steamhappy: Another win for vegans.

fiber absorbs more water in your digestive tract.
you think it's making you have more poop, but in reality it's making you have the same poop but bigger :V

Not really. My fiber intake is minimal. No bloating or indication of poor motility, feel fine. I don't eat grains, including corn and rice. Primarily meat these days, pork, turkey.
I eat all my lawn trimmings to maximize fiber consumption.

"Looks like you need a little fact check there... According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center:"
-I'm the one that's been doing the fact checks. Every time you quote me you just copy/paste propaganda.

"A diet rich in high-fiber foods can reduce your overall calorie intake and help you maintain a healthy weight, which is vital to reducing cancer risk."
-Food does not contain calories. You do not have a "calorie intake," it would be 0. Tell me, how much does a calorie weigh, if you held it in your hand? 0. So why do you think adding it or removing it would have any kind of impact on weight? It doesn't. Your text goes on to say that weight is relevant for cancer... not even specifying if the "weight" is fat or muscle. But both would be false. Fat and muscle are not cancer risks. This is propaganda, just like saying cholesterol causes artery plaque or is a risk for that. (I bet you also still believe that foolishness.)

"High-fiber foods... basically meaning fruits, veggies, beans, whole grains... things vegans typically eat lots of."
-All of which are toxic and unnecessary. Humans do not need carbohydrates, of any kind, in any amount, whatsoever. You have the OPTION of eating some. Humans have a LIMITED TOLERANCE for eating some. This does not make them ideal, important, nor essential. The best way to treat them is probably the way you treat alcohol and tobacco.

"Low-fiber foods would be... animal product foods, basically..."
-Correct, and this is what your diet should be mostly, if not all, compromised of.

"Another win for vegans."
-Vegan is a failure on all fronts. It's never had a win, anywhere, unless you count being one of the main culprits behind the epidemics of obesity and metabolic disease that we have today. That is your "win."

Since you keep linking ignorant propaganda to me, I'm going to start linking actual correct stuff back to you. This is one of the best doctors you can, and should, be listening to:
