My understanding is this: Fiber (both IF and SF) is indigestible. It must leave your body as waste. Protein, fat, and non-fiber carbs can be absorbed and either burned or stored by your body. When you aren't taking in any fiber at all, then you're not taking in anything that has to turn into waste. So, most of what you eat will stay in your body as fuel or fat. The idea with the low-carb or no-carb diet is that your body burns up the protein and then burns up your fat stores, and there isn't much to pass through. I'm not a scientist so I don't know if this is all correct, but it makes sense. So, I'd say that if you are C (which I know you are) switching to a low-carb or no-carb diet will likely make things much worse. I have no idea what the specific carb diet is so I can't comment with regard to that.
