Synopsis

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

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 audiobook, 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.

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.

As a former junk-food junkie, Dr. B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained. Fiber-rich, real foods--with 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. 

With a 28-day jumpstart program with menus and more than 65 recipes, along with essential advice on food sensitivities, Fiber Fueled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health today.

Goodreads review by Lindsay on June 02, 2021

If you've read more than 1-2 books on plant-based eating and gut health/gut bugs, you won't find much new information here (perhaps a new study or two). HOWEVER, this book is very concise and a terrific summary of information. The author's voice and writing style are fun. Bulsiewicz keeps the reader......more

Goodreads review by Kate on May 23, 2020

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. This book contains so much amazing knowledge. If you ea......more

Goodreads review by Pop on April 21, 2020

Authoritative, but Sometimes Heavy-Handed Fiber is good for you. Plant based eating is good for you. Sauerkraut. 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 f......more

Goodreads review by Arun on October 22, 2020

Initially very convincing, with lots of references to scientific papers and studies. However the writer gets lazier as the book goes on, and starts to contradict himself and use anecdotal evidence for some pretty big parts of his argument. The plan itself is too prescriptive and as a competent cook,......more
