    Adding ketchup on the bread and drinking fruit juices sweetened with high fructose corn syrup will increase the number of plant sources in such a diet without increasing dietary fiber. My point is, it’s not plant variety that matters, but how heavily processed the plants are.

      Ketchup, bread and fruit juice all have fiber. So they do in fact increase the dietary fiber.

      Whether or not your diet is “low fiber” is decided by how much of these things you eat. If you eat a low quantity your diet will be low in fiber.

              Since fiber only comes from plants, it’s implied that “low-fiber diet” just means less fiber than what we need. Not necessarily meat without anything else.

        Hey it’s fine, it sounds like your mind is already made up. You shouldn’t worry too much about what random strangers say on the internet either way.
