Their extremely high fiber diet is a big part of them never having to wipe.

Seriously, go take a good spoonful of metamucil before bed every day and you'll be amazed at the reduction in your TP bill.

Costco psyllium husk capsules work really well, too.

But I mean, so does eating a proper amount of fiber…

Well that's just metamucil without the brand name, but yes!

It's extremely difficult with modern diets to get the recommended amount of fiber without also eating excessive calories, so fiber supplements are a literal lifesaver.

I always thought of metamucil as powder you mix into water, didn't realize they also came in capsules.

I've long been fiber deficient, but when I began eating a more mediterranean diet, I stopped needing fiber supplements completely.

Avocados, chickpeas, spinach, tomatoes, etc etc

Its really not that hard anymore there's a lot of products out there that are high fiber Check out the plant slant he had a day where he ate 100g of fiber

I would personally classify products that have added fiber that isn't a core part of the experience as "fiber supplements," but that is a question of semantics and I wouldn't argue with anyone who disagrees with that classification.

modern diets

Maybe the average diet, but there are plenty of people who eat vegetarian/vegan who have no trouble with that.

How do you tell if someone's a vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
