I am not convinced by this video, here is what I didn't like:
1) he says he only found one RCT study on constipation. I asked ChatGPT to list 10 anditt returned 3 RCT studies and another 7 non-RCT
2) He says water intake has no impact on stool consistency and constipation. My personal experience is the opposite.
3) He compares the gut and its content to a street with cars, suggesting that more bulk causes constipation. While funny that is misleading. Gut content is more or less liquid until it reaches the rectum, where water is absorbed. It generally gets problematically hard only if the person is badly dehidrated.
4) when he compared a rabbit's GI tract to a human's, he failed to also compare it to a carnivore's for context. We are somewhere in the middle, though admittedly closer to carnivores. He also failed to mention we cook our food, unlike rabbits.
May be I'll finish the video later but so far it feels like he's advertising his theory rather than making a scientific presentation.
I am sure an elimination diet can be very helpful diagnostically but struggle to believe a lion diet can be good in the long term.
I also think a lot of the problems with natural carbs (as opposed to highly processed ones) come from eating too much in general.
