If you consume that much fiber, it means large stools, inevitable anorectal damage, and eventual dependence on fiber to move the bowels.
I'm no expert, but isn't that the way the human body functions, to be dependent on fiber for elimination?!
I read somewhere that our intestines (obviously) are very long and twist and turn many times and so it takes anywhere from 1-3 days to eliminate. Dogs, on the other hand, have a straight shoot from mouth to anus, and it only takes about 12 hours. My nutritionist told me that our systems are the way they are to maximize nutrient absorption. It follows, though, that nothing can pass through such a long and twisty-turny route without something to push it through!
My vote is that this diet sounds like utter bunk.
