I am not sure. I think it’s hard to tell if that would happen. A lot of low carb and keto processed foods on the market today are normally very high fibre and are more convenient to consume than making low carb meals at home which would have a reduction of fibre in comparison.
However, I personally cannot eat fibrous foods. I’ve had to cut that completely out as a result of the damage fibre has done to my bowels after years “healthy” eating.
I am not alone in this either as there was even a clinical trial that studied the effects of fibre on patients with idiopathic constipation and the results were highly statistically significant in that it showed causation between the consumption of fibre and increased risk of bowel related illnesses. This is not an epidemiological study either that only shows correlation! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435786/

I’ve been on Keto for close to ten years, my impression of at least the keto subreddit is that this would certainly happen. They’ve always been highly resistant to any statement that tons of meat is not the best thing. It was not great at the start, but it got worse over time where apparently almost everyone starting now needs electrolyte supplements because their dietary intake sucks.
/rant Sorry, I simply regularly get annoyed how a (for me) amazing diet gets dragged into the mud by the people of that sub.
There are lots of different fibres with different functions, and I have ended up on eating a supplement that mostly lets the stool keep is moisture content, and I have not been constipated once since I started with it: hydrolysed guar gum. This way I can avoid other fibres which are horrible to my gut. I used to try eating fibre to keep from getting constipated, but often I happened to eat some fibre that instead gave me extremely runny stool.
despite being carnivore for years and reducing my anxiety and depression massively from when I was vegetarian, I think it’s best to take nutritional studies with a grain of salt unless they are clinical trials.
Anecdotally meat has definitely helped me with my health in so many countless ways. However, this study can’t prove causations.
