Humans were not designed for a high fibre diet. Most will have better digestion at a low to low-moderate fibre intake.

​@@JMOlsen_ I'm not sure what your definition of "high" is, or what perspective you're coming from, but my family doctor has told us to double our fibre intake. She says fibre is like a "super group" for your body, it's the best thing you can do for yourself. Especially if you're prone to diabetes. Of course i speak for my family but to my understanding, the higher the fibre you can get, the better. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't see what could go wrong if you consume more fibre, i think most people are not consuming enough anyway.

@@iain.sm.c No. Most people are healthier if they don't overdo fibre intake. Humans don't have the right digestive system to ferment plants. We are not ruminants or hind gut fermentors who can derive actual nutrients from fibre. The fibre myth is one of those dietary errors propagated by big Agra and big pharma. Recommending a high fibre , low fat, low protein and high carb diet is great for big pharma and big agra profit. But extremely bad for human health. A natural human diet, not trying to consume surplus fibre, will provide the modest amount actually beneficial. The one thing that is correct here, is that dietary variety drives a better and more diverse gut bacteria in humans. So a valid argument for plant variety, but not for large quantities of them.

It's easier than people think to achieve this too! Spices, nuts and seeds count towards your 30 plants. So something like sprinkling a seed mix on a salad or snacking on mixed nuts is great to help boost your intake.

After seeing this study from ZOE, I tracked my food meticulously for a couple of months. Between veggies, beans, and grains in meals, fruits and nuts for snacking, and a vast array of spices when cooking, I counted 40-60 different plants per week. 30 plants per week is definitely an achievable goal and budget friendly if you include spices and canned or dry goods like beans, veggies, and fruit.

The actual study is the American Gut Project. You can find the abstract and summary of major figures on the ASM Journal website if you google American Gut Project. Pubmed also has a study using some of the data. But I couldn’t find the entire study with questionnaires and everything. The summary on ASM Journal distinguishes between people eating >30 plants per week and

Also soup! You can literally add tons of different vegetables. You can add lean meat, fish seafood .... etc there are a lot of flavorful recipes. Portuguese fish soup is to die for.

Agreed, soup makes it easier to consume a variety of nutrition. I have a hand blender specifically for soups and smoothies. Very fun to use!

The best tip I’ve read to help reach the 30 plant quota is really going to town on herbs and spices! Even dried herbs count towards your 30 plants, so if you get a few different seasoning blends (ideally organic and relatively fresh), you’re golden!

I try to eat a primarily plant based diet too but had to start eating small amounts of grass fed beef amd natiral chicken due to anemia so love this idea of plant points to increase plants in diet especially for my husband. I started putting fresh kale in the freezer after washing it. It is so easy when frozen to just crush it into kale flakes and it to lots of cooked recipes like pasta sauces, taco tilling, soup etc.

High fiber is good for some gut issues but not all! I have gastroparesis and high fiber foods actually make my flares and pain much worse. Wish I could eat more plants, but I have to stick with what works.

There is potential for it to work if you have a moderate income or some time and a freezer. With min income it won't work but you can buy herbs in a pot or seeds for them and they will hold for months. Or dried herbs. Beans and other can stuff is the same price all year round. You can freeze meals or vegetables when you have a lot ingredients and it's in season. I don't know about 30 different plants but I do manage 20. i think I would need to buy more diverse and I honestly don't want to. I don't like everything. 😂

This sounds great, even with people saying fresh and dried herbs count. But what I’m worried about is the cost - it seems like it’s not a great time to start buying things you might not be able to afford in this current climate

I try to "eat the rainbow", it helps me keep track of veg intake. To save money, most grocery stores have a discount veg area, you can cut it up and freeze it or buy frozen veg too. Also try farmers markets.

This is great! I feel like I get in a rut of just chicken, broccoli, and rice over and over again. This will really switch things up!

This is like three delectable meals in one: 1 raw, 1 cooked, and 1 with the pasta!! Soooo yummy!! Thank you!! 🎉

I heard this a few weeks ago and have been really trying to be mindful of what I cook and eat. Each week I've been counting each plant and only get to the early twenties, so I'm excited for this series!

Looks amazingly delish! 🎉

Yes I need this series! 🍲

great, now if only I could afford groceries

SPICES!!!!!! Best way to up ur plant game

That's totally doable, in my country we have diverse amount of veggies and herbs which also change depending on the season so we get the best of both worlds, never get bored and consume wonderful plant source vitamins

YESSSS I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!

A big part of what kicked off significant weight loss for me (i was 310lbs 5'2 at my biggest) was that i spent about a month taking a lot of probiotic and prebiotic supplements with greek yogurt and other fermented foods, and also making sure that im getting at least a couple different veggies every day. As someone who has lived as an obese person, it is now shocking to me how normalized it is in certain areas for you to eat absolutely nothing but soda, meat, and carbs. And i dont do keto or anything, i mean people will eat literally nothing but stuff like bugers, meatloaf and potatos, pasta with meatballs, and nothing to drink but sodas. every single day. Just making veggie sides a priority, just drinking some water every day was a massive diet chamge for me. I started eating soups a lot because its so much easier to pack lots of different veggies in it. Now looking back it is disgusting the food i was given as a kid. People really underestimate how their shitty childhood diet fucks up their gut health in ways that make basic diet changes inefficient. I still eat pizza rolls, just make yourself have literally any fiberous veggie first so that you feel more full, feed the microbiome, poop good, and end up not eating as many pizza rolls.

Looks Yummy👏🏾

Thank you soo much for you videos!

Hey! If you’re going to say it’s meal prep friendly can you say about how long it lasts in the fridge please?

Families living in food desserts have often only limited canned options, so that nutritional value has to be factored into any plant "diet". Fresh nor frozen vegetables are available for everyone no matter how healthy they want to eat.

Just changing your seasoning blend each night of the week is really helpful if your fridge is full of veg but it's not much variety

as someone who comes from a culture that values plant-based food over anything else, it’s very interesting to see how people in the US are the opposite and often struggle to come up with ways to incorporate veggies into their diet.

Spices and herbal teas count too!
