Most importantly, this is not a diet, it is a change of lifestyle and you need to be ready and willing to make some sacrifices. It is worth it though.

The Fiber Fueled Cookbook: Inspiring Plant-based Recipes to

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. 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. 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. Of course, telling people to switch to a plant based diet is basically laudable, so you can't get too down on this book. And it is useful to have a lot of info organized in one place instead of all over the internet, magazines, and afternoon TV shows. It just felt more like the job of eating instead of the joy of cooking.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. The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B," illuminates in this groundbreaking book, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show--and what Dr. B preaches with his patients--is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plants. 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! Imagine reading 600 medical studies on gut health. Well you don’t have to. Dr B has taken all the science (the real stuff, not the studies endorsed by for profit companies, or spanning one week with 2 people), and compiled it in laymen’s terms.

The Fiber Fueled Cookbook | Order Now! - The Plant Fed Gut

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. I aspire to increase my plant intake and both books are inspiring for that goal. I'm unsure that I will ever be vegan, but I have no doubt that more plant based meals will be an improvement. I found Bulsiewicz's recommendation to strive to include 35 plant species in the menu each week to be a bit overwhelming at first, but having thought about it a bit, I think it is achievable. There are a few recipes that I'll be trying. I am particularly intrigued by the Biome Broth and I'm going to experiment with miso and try kombucha.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. HOWEVER, this book is very concise and a terrific summary of information. The author's voice and writing style are fun. Bulsiewicz keeps the readers interested by being charming, entertaining, friendly, and not being too serious. While many other books on gut health/fiber/plant-based diets can become boring and dry, this one does not. Bulsiewicz also doesn't talk down to the reader as many other "competitive" authors can come across. It felt friendly and it wasn't a chore to read this. The narrator is especially terrific--get the audiobook! This book contains so much amazing knowledge. If you eat and poop, it will help you. And you’ll enjoy diving in. Seriously, this is a fun read.
