1. Definition of a plant-based diet - A plant-based diet consists of all minimally processed fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, herbs, and spices and excludes all animal products, including red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

I’m using the definition of plant based diet. You seem to be referring to something you saw on an advertisement maybe?

There are white breads with more than a gram of fiber per slice and 26 slices per loaf and people that need 25grams or less per day.

But that doesn’t matter because according to these definitions of processed vs ultra-processed, you’re describing ultra-processed foods not plant based.

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.

If a plant is processed more than harvesting, cutting, packaging it no longer meets the definition of plant based.

Yeah but that is just because the plant matter has been extracted and the sugars or whatever is left is being used as ingredients.

I’m trying to make the point that extracting ingredients from plants to make food doesn’t make those foods plant based because the plant has been removed.

So removing the plant matter and leaving the sugar/water.

Animal products would be my guess since they don’t contain any fiber at all.

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.

It seems disingenuous to claim a diet that excludes all plants except for lowest fiber foods is plant based or low fiber.

Especially since you can still get your daily fiber needs from white bread which contradicts the claim.

One loaf of white bread has about the daily requirement for fiber.

It’s just less than whole grain bread. So not low fiber.

Wouldn’t that be a processed grains based diet instead of a plant based diet since it is only including processed grains and excludes all other forms of plants?

Fiber = plant fiber

How can you have a plant based diet that is low in plant fiber?
