Fiber provides calories only to animals that can digest it. Humans cannot. It does not cause insulin spikes in humans, because none of carbohydrates from fiber can be utilized. Fiber leaves our bodies fully intact calorically because our bodies can't break it down. For cows, fiber calories count. For humans they do not. In the USA manufacturer's are allowed to subtract fiber calories for this reason, but many, if not most don't. Sadly, the only way to know whether or not the fiber calories are included in the label's total is to recheck the label math. Since the counts can be rounded up or down, this doesn't always help. |
I listened to a great podcast recently on how different mammals ( including us) use different parts of food differently.
Grasses & fiber that would just pass through our system Undigested is turned into fatty acids in cows and gorillas (differently) It was fascinating and rally supported low carb or paleo/primal eating |

Biscuits
I made IP biscuits this morning with the IP Oatmeal.
2 packets of IP Oatmeal 1 -2 oz. of water 1 lg egg white 1 tsp. of baking powder (Seasonings of your choice) I beat the egg white, stir in the oatmeal and baking powder, slowly add water until its slightly scoopable, not runny.. I made 8 biscuits on a greased cookie sheet and baked at 400 degrees for about 10 min or golden.. You can only have 4 of the 8 biscuits a day for your restricted food.. but they turned out great! I am having them with my Big Mac in a bowl tonight... :carrot: |
