Demi, thank you for posting the entire article from The Times. Health journalists writing about eating plans are embracing fibre but not from grains.
Quote:
Our diet clearly plays a key role. “Studies show that if you eat a crap meal, you get an inflammatory response — the poorer the quality of the meal, the higher the inflammatory response,” Whitehead says.
A better diet means plenty of fruit and veg, enough fibre, lean protein and less red meat, fatty fish and things that are good for your gut such as yoghurt and other fermented foods (probiotic) and things like asparagus and bananas (prebiotic), because a healthy population of gut bacteria can also keep inflammation at bay.

Another example, the basics of Dr Casey Means' Good Energy.
Quote:
“There's no keto or vegan or paleo. It's about what molecules do your cells need to function properly and how do you get those to them? And so we just have eight simple strategies, essentially. It's five things to put into your meals and three things to take out of your meals to essentially give your cells what they need.
And those five things are healthy protein, omega-3 fats, antioxidants, a probiotic source and fiber. And that's not exhaustive, but if you focus on getting those five things in every single meal, you are going to be giving your body so much of what it needs.
And the three things that we recommend taking out are the ultra-processed grains, ultra-processed sugars and ultra-processed industrial seed oils, which do nothing to meet the needs of your cells and essentially are empty calories that prevent you from actually getting your body what they need. On top of this, we of course have an industrial agriculture system that has killed the soil in our country and the soil is what injects healthful nutrients into our food.

Or Dr Sarah Ballentyne's Nutrivore program, with a focus on nutrition and fiber to reduce inflammation. If you replace grains and fats with high fiber vegetables and fruit, the reduction in calories leads to weight loss and a reduction in visceral fat…a lower calorie intake is how low carb has always worked. |
