People get diverticulitis due to bits of food getting stuck in their intestines that eventually cause infection and severe pain. A high fiber diet (Diverticulitis diet) just makes sure that those foods (Popcorn, nuts, ect...) don't get stuck and cause medical problems again. It has nothing to do with weight loss.
