🔥Hot Take:
- The 'reset' feeling dieters report is likely the result of eliminating ultra-processed foods and high-FODMAP triggers, rather than a biological need for an all-meat existence.
- Promoting a diet with zero fiber is essentially a massive uncontrolled experiment on the human microbiome, which relies on plant prebiotics to maintain the gut barrier.

Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Weight loss is a common side effect of extreme carbohydrate restriction. When carbs are eliminated, the body burns through glycogen stores, which are bound to water, leading to rapid initial 'water weight' loss. Additionally, the high satiety of protein and fat often leads to a spontaneous calorie deficit.
