Not sure about raskolnikov but I am zero carb/fibre apart from the odd baked zucchini a couple of times a week. Still as regular as ever just less waste (sorry for the tmi). All the old science of eat a lot of fibre and wholegrains to be healthy was a myth to line the grain, corn and sugar farmers pockets with intense support by their lobbyists in the US. Ancel Keys ruined public health. Fibre absorbs a lot of moisture and then expels it which depletes nutrients and electrolytes in our body and will often cause gut inflammation and electrolyte imbalance leading to bloating and lethargy.
Protein, which is easily convertible to the essential amino acids is all humans require to thrive. Only animal proteins and eggs can supply the whole spectrum of bio-available amino acids without supplementation and it comes with the right combination of saturated fat to transport nutrients and vitamins.
That's the thing to a certain extent. What works and what substitutes.Not sure about raskolnikov but I am zero carb/fibre apart from the odd baked zucchini a couple of times a week.

There is no doubt that you can survive and possibly thrive on limited carbs or fats as long as you get enough protein.
The issue for me is the fact that we often talk about limiting macros like it's rock paper scissors
