Recommended for those who, like me, have been searching for good information on the microbiome and how to “cultivate your own garden.” I chose this book because the author of How Not to Diet: The Groundbreaking Science of Healthy, Permanent Weight Loss gave it a thumbs up and the two men certainly share a worldview.

The Fiber Fueled Cookbook: Inspiring Plant-Based Recipes to

And...I like meat. It tastes good and feels good in my body. I've never been vegetarian and have never wanted to be. I find the majority of vegans to be horribly annoying because they can't be vegan and not talk about it to EVERYONE ad nauseum and yet, the evidence for the health and environmental impacts of a meat centric diet are undeniable. The New York Times bestselling plant-based plan to heal your gut with fibre and restore good health, from award-winning gastroenterologist Dr Will Bulsiewicz. Also, quite a bit of presumption and simplification/minification of deeper problems. He presents his lifestyle and diet as this idyllic version of perfection that we should all strive for and describes it in excessively glowing terms. This ignores that a lot of people eat poorly for emotional reasons, not because they're ignorant of nutrition.Overall, my #1 book on gut health is still The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-term Health but if someone was interested in switching to a plant-based or plant-centered diet as well, or wanted something a bit more youthful and upbeat with a food plan at the end, then I would suggest this. I may not agree 100% with everything in the book, I think there's a lot of good stuff here to be “digested.” This book starts out with the absolute basics and is cheerfully encouraging if you are new to the nutrition and diet wars. There are clear descriptions of the types and sources of dietary fiber, the differences among pre-biotic, pro-biotic, and post-biotic choices, and the specific benefits of different foods. There are some interesting facts and tips and insights about different foods and diets, and a very engaging and current discussion of short-chain fatty acids. That's about the first quarter of the book. It's sometimes a little bit over the top, but that's fine. All of the Doctor's favorites, (miso, fermented sauerkraut, blueberries, flax seed), are just bursting!! with goodness, and combat!! almost every known disease.

after decades of food sensitivities and gut issues, thanks to Dr. B’s wisdom, I have completely reversed every single sensitivity (including gluten and soy). Fiber Fueled and his Plant Fed Gut course helped me to finally heal. Gone are the days of bloating and pain, and fear of food is now a thing of the past. I’m incredibly grateful to his research and passion to help people. One of the problems of the American diet is that we eat to feed anxiety and self-hatred, knowing full well that we're poisoning ourselves. Often _eating poorly is the point_. We use food as a proxy for self-harm.

He suggests eating 90% of those foods. Anything else (including plant oils, vegan foods, meat/dairy/eggs/processed whatever) are reserved for the other 10% Lastly: Bulsiewicz says you can eat plants unlimited/eat as much as you want constantly throughout the book, which I strongly disagree with, but sure--when you're first starting out, eat your heart out. Don't go hungry. Try new things! This must-have cookbook will inspire you with deeply flavourful, satisfying plant-based recipes that make the Fibre Fuelled lifestyle delicious and inviting. But The Fibre Fuelled Cookbook is also a revolutionary treatment programme for food sensitivity sufferers who have struggled to get a handle on their symptoms. In it you will learn the GROWTH strategy, a groundbreaking approach that helps readers break down what's causing their GI problems, and discover real solutions that are personalised to their individual needs. Examples of prebiotics: betaglucans (from mushrooms), psyllium, acadia powder, partially hydro. agar gum, wheat dextron (this is Benefiber, you can find it at Walmart and pharmacy retailers in the US easily compared to his other options), and Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) <-- I've read mixed things on IMO so maybe skip it. Inulin is another option but it gives him gas so he doesn't suggest it.But after that we get a bit heavy handed. The things that the Doctor insists are good!! are good!!, but everything else is bad!! We eventually get to a level of diet and eating shaming that just never lets up. For me, eating choices run along a continuum, and each decision is based on choosing between better and worse. Not good!! and bad!! isn't all that helpful. Some of this felt like the 1950's version of "eat your broccoli!", just updated to include miso and kimchi. However, when your weight-loss stops and you're unhappy about it, stop overeating ;) To be fair, at the end of the book he talks very briefly about mindful eating and to avoid emotional eating/toxic hunger and doing the Japanese habit of eating to only 80% full/try IF.
