“Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels, normalize bowel movements, lower cholesterol levels, and keep your colon healthy. Whole food plant-based eaters consume about three times more fiber than someone following the standard American diet.”
“My concern with recommending the prioritization of beef and whole milk is that we’re going to see a greater risk for type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol, and in turn, a rise in heart disease.”
"When you cook pasta, let it cool and then reheat it in the microwave, some of the digestible starches turn into what's called resistant starch. Resistant starch acts like fiber in a way, feeding beneficial gut bacteria rather than being quickly broken down into sugar.”
“Fiber supports good gut health, lower cholesterol levels, better blood sugar control, and promotes regular and easier bathroom visits.”
“Full-fat dairy and plant-based milks differ in their nutritional profiles. Plant-based options such as oat, almond, and coconut milk are generally lower in saturated fat and, when fortified, may provide similar amounts of calcium and vitamin D.”
“Beans are an approachable source of protein because they’re affordable, accessible, and can be used in a lot of different ways. Because beans are packed with nutrients like fiber, plant protein, and antioxidants, they support your heart, gut, and blood sugars..."
“Eating antioxidant-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables, or taking antioxidants (e.g., vitamins A, C, E, and K) can help reduce inflammation and create a stronger, more diverse microbiome.”
“Carbohydrates are often demonized in diet culture, but they "are not the enemy" and shouldn't be cut out.”
“When you’re eating dairy products like cheese, even though it may taste good, you’re eating a food rich in saturated fat, which can be harmful to your body. Cheese contains about seven times more casein than milk, making you [...] desire it all the more.”
