His other two mantras are #1 "slow and grow" meaning start very slowly with dietary changes, particularly if you have a GI condition such as IBS. You have to "grow" your gut biome and "strengthen" your GI muscles. He compares it to working out in a gym. If you go nuts on day 1 with 15lb weights of course you'll be too sore to get out of bed the next day. Start with 1-3lb weights. This means slowly introducing the fiber foods and supplements he suggests (eg prebiotics)

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.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. 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. A bold new plant-based plan that challenges popular keto and paleo diets, from an award-winning gastroenterologist.

Here is one example of how I design our meal plan for the week for 2 adults. It is good to make some extra so it lasts for next day lunch or dinner also. This saves some cooking time.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. Vegan pizza, made from whole grain flour. Top with tomato sauce, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, tofu, and arugula(after baking). 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. This must-have cookbookwill inspire you with deeply flavorful, satisfying plant-based recipes that make the Fiber Fueled lifestyle delicious and inviting. But The Fiber Fueled Cookbook is also a revolutionary treatment program 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 personalized to their individual needs. Forget about the fiber your grandmother used to take--the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss, repair leaky gut, strengthen the microbiome, optimize the immune system, reduce food sensitivities, lower cholesterol, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve brain function, and even prevent cancer. Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need, weaken the microbes, and make our system vulnerable.

We’ve made health too complicated with our extensive lists of foods to avoid, complex percentages of fats-to-protein-to-carb ratios, elimination diets, calorie counting, even weighing our food—and despite all these rules, we’re not getting any better. It just doesn’t need to be this complicated. Diversity of plants. That’s it. That’s all you have to remember. Done. No more annoying food lists. If you follow this one rule, it will lead you to better health. And it will always be the truth no matter what happens: No matter what changes on this planet or in our lifestyles, this core tenet of better health will stay the same.” 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. UPDATE: after mystery distension snd constipation for 2 years despite eating 100g of fiber from whole plants, I learned from my GI (and experimentation) fiber supplements recommended here and fermented things exacerbate the issue; avoid until you’re “cleared out” 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!I have been on the fad diet train (Gluten/Dairy/Grain/Egg Free in various combinations) - largely for healing purposes - for years and I've had some good successes and have learned a lot along the way. After awhile, I began to question the validity of some of these diets as it pertains to diversity of food. Then, I went to Israel and ate my way through that beautiful country eating all of the bread I could get my mouth on...with no adverse reactions despite having been gluten free for many years. It got me thinking seriously about my gluten free status and questioning what I had learned and followed for so long. While it may have been wise for me to be gluten free for awhile, I clearly was not gluten intolerant. Enter sourdough....it's marvelous, amazing, fantastic and opened a whole new door in my dietary world and lead me to ask more and more questions about the variety in my diet which was significantly limited at times. What else could I actually tolerate that I had believed that I couldn't? 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.
