And your brain won't work because it requires at least 110 grams of carbs to function normally. Then you might start saying things like "if you're only eating protein you don't need fibre"

Gluconeogenesis is a thing. So while correct, it doesn't have to be dietary carbs.

Fair enough, that being said, eating exclusively protein is still likely to result in death from nutrient deficiency, kidney overload, protein poisoning, the list goes on.

But thats not as funny.

Though a fruit only diet, that's funny.

All those negatives notwithstanding, you still don't need fiber in your diet if you're only eating protein.

I mean if you just eat steak and eggs you're not going to shit. As I said earlier it was a tactic we used for making weight.

Not shitting is a great way to get colon cancer.
