Do any of you that eat paleo/primal/low carb have fiber goals? In general, what is everyone's opinion on how much fiber to eat? Do you find that you need to supplement it (Benefiber, etc.) to meet your desired amount on this type of lifestyle?

Thanks!!

    If you are stopped up, eat more fat! I read somewhere that fiber is only important because of the SAD. If you are eating enough fat and veggies, you shouldn't need to supplement. Paleo is a cure for constipation and IBS.

    I wouldn't say cure... it just generally makes it suck less. I add in Miralax occasionally (though not nearly as often as I used to).
