I kind of missed that i guess. I was reading another Keto menu plan that had close to zero veggies...

In experimenting with going off grains and legumes in favor of huge amounts of non-starchy and moderate starchy (squash, sweet potato, plantain, beet, turnip) veggies, my stools went to shit. Terribly malformed with alternating constipation and great urge but little productivity. Once I added some beans and a small amount of grains back, stools are bulky and regular. I suspect it has a lot to do with gut biome. There are arguments that grains and legumes create porosity, but other arguments that they contribute to better biome balance, adding fermentable and resistant starch etc...

I also personally believe that personal food sensitivities can factor in and lead to havoc in the intestines.
