The instant New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly bestseller 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 book, 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.

You can take a few small steps to help lower that number by introducing a low-carbon diet into your kitchen and life - and The Low-Carbon Cookbook will show you exactly how. Determining a food’s carbon cost can be difficult.

Packed with over 140 delicious recipes made with sustainable ingredients, this climate-friendly cooking book will teach you how to calculate your footprint, reduce your meat and dairy intake, and eat seasonal and local. • • • “The Low-Carbon Cookbook is a welcome roadmap for home chefs of any level who care about the future of our planet and making conscious food choices. Alejandra Schrader blends detailed research with vibrant, delicious recipes that make eating a climate-friendly diet possible. With this delightful thought-provoking book, everyone can start making changes in how they eat today that will have a big impact on our planet tomorrow. In these times of climate crisis, this is a must-read for all who care about food, our climate, and all the living beings who share our planet.” – Abby Maxman, president and CEO of Oxfam America “When Alejandra writes about the relationship between the food we eat and the impact it has on the environment, she’s not just doing it on a hunch—she’s done the research and shares it in a way that’s not polarizing or politicizing. By setting the table with food and facts, Alejandra provides anyone who cares about the food they eat with plenty of inspiration for creating meals that taste—and do—good.” – Courtney Hazlett, executive producer and creator, Netflix’s Restaurants on the Edge “Our planet is in a crisis. Food systems are in a crisis. Rates of malnutrition—stunting and starvation and obesity—are on the increase. Many countries around the world have adopted farming and production patterns that are designed for convenient consumption and mass calories rather than the sustainability of the planet and good health. With more than 30,000 edible plants available on Earth, it’s criminal we have come to rely on 3 crops for more than 60% of our calories. It’s crucial we understand the relationship between nutrition and the health of our bodies—as well as planetary health—in order to care for our planet and to change food systems for the better. However, we can’t talk about planetary health, food systems, and nutrition without discussing flavor, taste, and emotions! People connect with food because it nourishes not just their bodies but also their souls. Alejandra has the passion and emotion required to create beautiful recipes that speak to the soul as well as the knowledge and conviction to speak with authority on the need to reduce our carbon impact in order to sustain the planet while increasing our individual and collective health. In The Low-Carbon Cookbook, Alejandra guides us through how to choose and cook ingredients that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with the ultimate goal of changing how we interact with food for the better—all while bringing her natural flair and talent for creating delicious dishes that encourage good food for all.” – Paul Newnham, director of the SDG2 Advocacy Hub Secretariat and the Chefs’ Manifesto “What people eat affects all parts of their lives as well as life on this planet. It’s not enough anymore to only consider nutrition, health, and enjoyment, but we must further consider climate, the environment, and the livelihoods of food workers and producers in all parts of the world. We must also do it knowing fully well that our choices impact people far removed from us, particularly through the effect on climate. The Low-Carbon Cookbook brings together a contribution of thoughtful ideas about how we can choose what we eat in a way that’s not only good for us but also for other people, for our planet, and for our collective prosperity.” – Dr. Agnes Kalibata, special envoy of the UN Secretary-General for the Food Systems Summit “Good for my body and good for our planet—that’s my mantra for deciding what to eat, cook, and buy. Lucky for us, Alejandra has taken the guess work out of making healthy, planet-friendly meals that are deeply satisfying. These creative and flexible recipes make it easy to be better citizens of the planet and shepherds of our health.” – Mary Sue Milliken, chef and food systems advocate
