Summary
Fix your health with fibre not fads - the instant New York Times bestseller
The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade， but as award-winning gastroenterologist Dr Will Bulsiewicz， or 'Dr B'， illuminates in this groundbreaking book， the explosion of studies on the microbiome show that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health。 What research clearly indicates 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 fibre from an abundant variety of colourful plants。
As a former junk-food junkie， Dr B knows first-hand the power of fibre to dramatically transform our health and the good news is that our guts can be trained。 Fibre-rich， real foods - fruits， vegetables， whole grains， seeds， nuts and legumes - start working quickly and maintain your long-term health， promote weight loss and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out。
Fibre Fuelled is so much more than a health book: it's a step-by-step methodology to stop the misinformation caused by the diet industry and to show you the simple， science-backed process for a lifestyle that is effortless， sustainable and above all else transforms your health by optimizing your gut microbiome。
With a 28-day jumpstart programme that includes menus， over 70 plant-fuelled recipes， essential advice on food sensitivities and detailed shopping lists， Fibre Fuelled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health。

This book covered lots of science & studies， which would have completely lost & bored me if I'd been reading a hard copy。 However， it was all the science that convinced me that this author/doctor knows what he's talking about。 The audiobook was very good。 This book had some really good information in it that I know I will think about again and again。 I think there were ideas that will stick with me in my meal preparations from now on。 My husband & I switched to a whole-foods， plant-based diet a This book covered lots of science & studies， which would have completely lost & bored me if I'd been reading a hard copy。 However， it was all the science that convinced me that this author/doctor knows what he's talking about。 The audiobook was very good。 This book had some really good information in it that I know I will think about again and again。 I think there were ideas that will stick with me in my meal preparations from now on。 My husband & I switched to a whole-foods， plant-based diet a little over two years ago--for health reasons--but there were ideas from this book that we still plan to incorporate into our diet/lifestyle to improve our health even more。 Very insightful & interesting--especially Part 2 （after the science）。 。。。more

Yes eating a wide variety of plants is a good idea and there’s lots of terrific information about the gut but the 4 week food plan is littered with lectin bombs。

really motivating to eat a diversity of plant-based foods and treat your gut microbiome well！ I've been cooking a lot of recipes in the four week meal plan， so it has been fun to change up my meal prep too。 really motivating to eat a diversity of plant-based foods and treat your gut microbiome well！ I've been cooking a lot of recipes in the four week meal plan， so it has been fun to change up my meal prep too。 。。。more

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook， and I think it will help me refocus my efforts to eat more plant-based meals and stay healthy。 After listening to the audiobook， I borrowed the ebook edition （with ISBN13 9780593084571） to get more information and recipes。

Curious about food as medicine and how the food you eat affects your health？ Look no further。 My gastroenterologist recommended this book to me as a solution to my fiber issue。 Like many people with a damaged gut （from Celiac disease， IBD， an autoimmune condition， severe food poisoning， or many other causes）， I have long been unable to digest most sources of fiber。 Raw veggies， whole grains， seeds， nuts， and most fruits are simply incompatible with my system。 The advice “eat more fiber” truly fe Curious about food as medicine and how the food you eat affects your health？ Look no further。 My gastroenterologist recommended this book to me as a solution to my fiber issue。 Like many people with a damaged gut （from Celiac disease， IBD， an autoimmune condition， severe food poisoning， or many other causes）， I have long been unable to digest most sources of fiber。 Raw veggies， whole grains， seeds， nuts， and most fruits are simply incompatible with my system。 The advice “eat more fiber” truly felt like it was meant for someone other than me— someone whose digestive system actually works as intended。This book opened my eyes to the importance of fiber。 Maybe more importantly， it validated my struggles with digesting fiber and gave me a super clear path to building up a tolerance for fiber again。 I am unable to take many of these steps for the next few weeks as I’m in a medical limbo right now， but I’m really looking forward to implementing what I’ve learned and getting better。The only thing this book is missing is some context for those of us who suffer from IBD， Crohn’s， and other chronic digestive problems。 The “getting well” dichotomy is not as black and white here， so I’m not sure how much this book applies to me。 But it’s a small quibble— I’m happy to just talk to my doctor。Everyone should read this， but especially anyone who has ever struggled with any form of digestive complaint。 。。。more

Fiber Fueled is fascinating。 The relatively new discoveries about gut biome health make so much sense to me given a number of health questions throughout my life。 I have eaten more plant based meals the last few years but I need to eat a more diverse selection。 I believe I have not been satisfied with mostly plant based because I'm not eating enough of them。 The information about gut bacteria and poop is interesting。 I would be a big supporter of a lentils and legumes council to lobby for better Fiber Fueled is fascinating。 The relatively new discoveries about gut biome health make so much sense to me given a number of health questions throughout my life。 I have eaten more plant based meals the last few years but I need to eat a more diverse selection。 I believe I have not been satisfied with mostly plant based because I'm not eating enough of them。 The information about gut bacteria and poop is interesting。 I would be a big supporter of a lentils and legumes council to lobby for better nutrition education as well as funding for farmers。 Let's redirect the cheese， dairy， and beef funding to plant and healthy eating education and subsidies for a healthier world with fewer obesity-related diseases。 。。。more

FANTASTIC read！ This， along with Simon Hill’s “The Proof Is In the Plants，” are nutrition books that everyone should read！ I’ve been predominantly plant based for a while now and felt like I had a good understanding of the health benefits of eating this way， but this book broke down complicated information about gut health in an easy to comprehend way。 It was SO fascinating to learn about the connection our gut has with virtually every system in the body， and precisely how the different foods we FANTASTIC read！ This， along with Simon Hill’s “The Proof Is In the Plants，” are nutrition books that everyone should read！ I’ve been predominantly plant based for a while now and felt like I had a good understanding of the health benefits of eating this way， but this book broke down complicated information about gut health in an easy to comprehend way。 It was SO fascinating to learn about the connection our gut has with virtually every system in the body， and precisely how the different foods we eat help or harm our microbiota with literally each and every bite。 NOTE: 4。5 stars rounded up， as it is a bit repetitive in places。 This is actually a pretty quick read。 The “meat” （no pun intended） of the book clocks in at just over 200 pages， while the last half or so is recipes/index。 。。。more

Be aware he's pushing veganism as the only health option。 Interesting information， but limited value when insisting there is only 1 way。 There is never only 1 way。 Be aware he's pushing veganism as the only health option。 Interesting information， but limited value when insisting there is only 1 way。 There is never only 1 way。 。。。more

Nothing new or insightful in comparison to other books tackling the microbiota topic。 Great plus that it includes recipes but they are over complicated。

What a book。 So informative。 Such a unique approach to gut health and finally learning the nutrition to support it。 It’s like reading the personalized diet prescribed by your local gastrointestinal doctor but so much better。 Can’t wait to pass on the knowledge， thanks Dr B！

Not sure how to rate it before I try the plan but been on a multi year journey trying to figure out what's wrong with me and this is just another stop on the path。 All this sounds very familiar and I'll try this diet next I guess。 I'll come back and update with a proper rating after that。 Hopefully I have a five stars it finally fixed me Not sure how to rate it before I try the plan but been on a multi year journey trying to figure out what's wrong with me and this is just another stop on the path。 All this sounds very familiar and I'll try this diet next I guess。 I'll come back and update with a proper rating after that。 Hopefully I have a five stars it finally fixed me 。。。more

The science is compelling and I enjoyed the first half of this book enough to want to work towards a fully plant based diet。 However， wtf was that 4 week plan？ He claims he tried to keep it simple？ Pages of ingredients for every week， recipes with tons of ingredients？ I was super excited to start and then immediately got overwhelmed by the plan。 I'll be looking for other plant based plans/recipes to follow。 The science is compelling and I enjoyed the first half of this book enough to want to work towards a fully plant based diet。 However， wtf was that 4 week plan？ He claims he tried to keep it simple？ Pages of ingredients for every week， recipes with tons of ingredients？ I was super excited to start and then immediately got overwhelmed by the plan。 I'll be looking for other plant based plans/recipes to follow。 。。。more

While there's plenty of information that all people should know about fiber and nutrition， there is far too much science for most readers。 While I'm on board with 95% of what the author promotes， his preachy tone is a bit much。 While he promotes a 90-10 lifestyle--90% of your meals plant-based and 10% "anything else，" he continually says that anything other than Vegan style is not good for you。 He claims to be a steak lover who now can't stand the taste of steak， which I'm hard-pressed to believ While there's plenty of information that all people should know about fiber and nutrition， there is far too much science for most readers。 While I'm on board with 95% of what the author promotes， his preachy tone is a bit much。 While he promotes a 90-10 lifestyle--90% of your meals plant-based and 10% "anything else，" he continually says that anything other than Vegan style is not good for you。 He claims to be a steak lover who now can't stand the taste of steak， which I'm hard-pressed to believe。 I know it's not the best choice， and I eat very little of it， but I love a good steak when I do indulge。 If you're struggling with weight， or you just don't feel good， read this book and adopt most of the author's strategies。 Eat what you love occasionally， though。 A balanced life is a great life。 。。。more

4 з 5За саму ідею， звісно 5。 Споживати овочі та фрукти корисно і потрібно。 Одну зірку знімаю за наведені там рецепти。 Майже усі вони передбачають екзотичні для наших країв продукти， соуси чи сиропи。 Доступність - це не про них。 В усьому іншому дуже хороша книжка。

The author explains the science more clearly than many other books on this subject but there's no new information here and if there were you wouldn't know since nothing is cited （apparently he'll kindly share his citations and tells you so at the end of every chapter but anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows that's not acceptable publishing behaviour and it makes me suspicious。 Also the recipes sound terrible。） The author explains the science more clearly than many other books on this subject but there's no new information here and if there were you wouldn't know since nothing is cited （apparently he'll kindly share his citations and tells you so at the end of every chapter but anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows that's not acceptable publishing behaviour and it makes me suspicious。 Also the recipes sound terrible。） 。。。more
