The Fibre Fuelled Cookbook: Inspiring Plant-Based Recipes to Turbocharge Your Health

Product Information

Pumpkin soup with roasted pumpkin seeds or nuts and topped with sprouts. Serve a slice of sourdough bread with the soup or toasted bread cubes. I may not agree 100% with everything in the book, I think there's a lot of good stuff here to be “digested.” VARIETY. Bulsiewicz says you can eat kale and blueberries every day and still be unhealthy because you need a variety--so switch it up with collards, swiss chard, turnip greens, etc. 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. 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)

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

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.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. 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. 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.

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%I also liked that Bulsiewicz doesn't act like he knows what's best for the reader nor does he yell, preach, or tell you what to do. Rather he says here is the information, letting you decide for yourself (A+) and provides strategies/actionable things to do if you decide "okay I'll try THAT." He also gets personal and shares what he and his wife do exactly with some foods. 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, 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. 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.
