Yes, on a diet predominantly of protein and fat I couldn't see where such a
figure was coming from either. I wonder where Mercola got that from?
Many thanks for your responses.
Best wishes
Tracey

The 150g a day figure is absurd and cannot reflect a genuine palaeolithic
diet such as our early modern man ancestors had. More than likely no fibre
is needed at all. Those eating a 100% animal food diet, raw or otherwise,
report not needing any fibre to make bowel movements. Palaeo peoples on
ice-sheets would have had only small opportunities to eat fibre, such as in
the summer, if at all.

where the 150 mg per day of fibre did come from in our ancestors!! Or where
that figure even came from?
