    I started following Zoe in April 2023 as a person significantly overweight and diagnosed as type 2 diabetes for the past 6 or so years and frequent irritable bowel sufferer. At the end of the year having followed the guidance (more fibre, more ferments, low carbs and more healthy fats) I have lost 23 kilos and now have my A1C at 37 (normal). I would be telling fibs if I said it was hard to do - it wasn't. Thank you from me for (hopefully) the extra years you have given me and the good health I am enjoying.

      @@magicsupamoggie I've cut out white bread, rice, potatoes, cakes, biscuits - all the obvious refined carbs. I worked up to a 16:8 time restricted eating regime which is now everyday. When I break fast it is either a mix of nuts, seeds and berries with kefir and yoghurt (eat until full!) or eggs and fresh tomatoes with one slice of homemade wholemeal bread. Evening meals are usually lots of leafy salads with either chicken or fish but sometimes substitute the salads for fibrous veg like broccoli, cauliflower and green beans. No snacks after main meal. You have to find what works for you and your lifestyle.

    If everyone took this advice, the world would be a drastically improved place. My breakfast/lunch today was olive oil-sautéed kale and other greens and edible flowers from the garden, garlic, broccoli, and mushrooms served on a baked sweet potato with avocado, pepitas and maple infused balsamic vinegar served with some yogurt, raspberries, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and walnuts. That’s 14 plants in one meal. Despite being diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, I’m still banking on the fact that my health would be worse if I didn’t eat this way.

      Probiotics are live bacteria that, when consumed, provide health benefits by introducing beneficial microbes to the gut. While probiotics are widely available in supplements and fermented foods, Professor Spector stresses that not all probiotics are equally effective, and their impact can vary from person to person. Natural sources, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi, are generally preferred because they contain a broad spectrum of beneficial bacteria. Supplements, on the other hand, may not survive the journey through the digestive system or may not be compatible with every individual’s microbiome. Professor Spector advises taking probiotics during or after antibiotic treatments or during times of digestive distress, as they can help restore balance in the gut.

I have lost weight, still more to go but it’s happening gradually. Cholesterol is now 4.1 and I am off statins. Blood pressure is now consistently normal and I gradually came off all 3 BP meds that I was on. In fact I don’t take any prescription medicines now. I am 75. Follow Tim with confidence!!

    Thank you for providing such great information to us all. I have started making some changes as a result of your videos. I have started making a really dense sprouted wheat bread with flax, chia, sprouted sunflower and sprouted pumpkin seeds. We really enjoy it. We have also started eating more nuts in our morning yogurt such as walnuts and cashews. I have been able to find a local whole milk yogurt in a large glass jar with no sugar added that is really good. My biggest concern now is how to rid our foods of plastics since they have many serious health consequences. Nuts, seeds, grains and dried fruits all come in plastic. I put them in glass when I get home but I am still concerned about contamination of plastics. I wish they would just place them in a sealed waxed paper bag rather than using plastic.

      add 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil and mix it together. Then, add 1 1/2 cups white flour, 2 cups sprouted wheat flour, 1/2 cup of oats. Stir it together and cover with plastic wrap. Let it proof over night for about 12 hours. The next day, stir up the dough. I place the dough on parchment paper in a Dutch oven (enamel pot with a lid) . Let it proof for another 60 minutes. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 40 min. With the lid on. Then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes uncovered. 😊

    Great video!! One of my NY resolutions was to cut down on my UPF intake. To-date, I have stopped eatings crisps, and cheddary snacks and am now making my own pizza from scratch! As a vegetarian, I'm in the daily habit of preparing a small salad before my main meal and eat mixed nuts daily. I've cut down on biscuits - instead buying plain rice cakes and adding melted dark chocolate to them with various toppings such as sunflower seeds or almond flakes. I've recently started to eat natural yoghurt for breakfast with berries and seeds - instead of brand name muesli. So, great to see this type of video and although I've started well, the video goes to show that I have a long way still to go on this journey...

      Sadly hospitals/doctors don't often acknowledge the role food plays in health. And it's reflected in selections at the hospital cafes. It's most unfortunate that the invalid are given similar meals. My child's first meal after surgery was a bagel and jello - at the doctor's advice! It took lots of convincing to get on the same page with nutrition, but eventually we did.

    I’m doing the ZOE programme and it’s helped me be healthier although I’ve gained weight rather than lost it. My main point though is about variety … I find most weeks I have to choose between variety and a high score as many foods cause my score to drop eg kiwi fruit, sweet potato, banana, beetroot, kombucha, kimchi, blueberries - all good foods. Often a meal is very good for my gut health but I get a low score (eg 35 for a bowl of soup and some beetroot and water with limes in)

    Thank you for this advice, it is good to know that the info is still there for people to follow and its good to keep putting it out there to reinforce the message.
    I am bit disappointed that there is nothing new here, for anyone interested in eating healthy food they will already have this knowledge for some years now. Nothing was said about the possible chemicals that may be on these veg and fruit, is it worth trying to buy organic? Also its a shame that the Zoe program is quite so expensive.

    I wish it was as simple for me and others in similar situations to eat many of those things. Probably too much information to share but I wish there was more advice out there for people in my situation who would love to be able to eat lots of nuts,seeds and fibrous foods and leave the skin on vegetables etc but due to having a diseased colon removed over 20 years ago eating those foods could see me ending up in hospital again with a blockage. Blending foods to a smoothie consistency or eating lots of peanut butter instead of whole nuts doesn’t help as that causes other issues which I won’t go into here but it wouldn’t be good! 🙈 im also a Celiac so that complicates things even more. I’m doing my best with the healthier foods that I can eat such as the Kefir but the more I learn about the healthier way to eat such as in this video ,the more frustrating it is to not be able to follow the advice. I wish this healthy eating advice such was around when I was struggling with Ulcerative colitis years ago, maybe I wouldn’t be in the situation that I am now .

    Here is a suggestion (which I do) take you nuts and seeds "collection", run it through a food processor until it becomes buttery and spread it over a toast or a waffle every morning. Every couple of months I go through that process of turning nuts into butter, store it in jars and place them in the refrigerator. I also do the same with non-sulfur dry fruits.

      @@ziv2liv forgive my short/terse response. not intended to be rude! if you don’t blend then, to put it simply,
      your poop will have a much higher caloric content than if you do blend. this is because, nuts being what they are, they will pass through you undigested to a greater extent. blending is like pre-chewing. that’s the first point.
      secondly, and i can’t find it now, i have seen videos in which it has been explained that blended nuts, like powdered “instant” oats, hit your system much faster and that this provokes a much stronger insulin response. I wish i could find this video for you now. As a general rule it is better just to chew. good health!

I persuaded my mother and my husband to follow my suit and they both had serious issues with flatulence. They stopped eating fermented foods altogether, and I only drink kombucha ( 1 dl) in the morning. And none of use ate too much, just a little from everything.

    Over the last few weeks I have been researching and watching various podcasts relating to diet, what to eat and what to avoid. I've learned much from watching Tom , Jonathan and Sarah, as well as other 'well known' experts on UA-cam. However, I remain confused about all the contradictions I keep running into. My wife had what was thought to be gout for quite a long period, so my research was specifically relating to purines in food, which led to us cutting out many of the foods we enjoyed, and we modified our diet accordingly, cutting out red meat and many vegetables. During my research I stumbled onto 'leaky gut syndrome' and the effect Lectins have on the digestive system. Looking at the foods where lectins occur, I am confronted by so many contradictions. The advice is that including lots of fibre in your diet is fundamental to good dietary discipline, however the lectins present in the husks of wholegrain seeds tends to contradict what is said.
    As advised, we have included more probiotics in our diet, less meat protein, but we feel restricted because we are avoiding high purine foods.
    So my comment relates specifically to the reactions between prebiotics/ probiotics/ purines/ lectins that are present in the food choices we can make for a better standard of healthy living. Can anyone solve my state of confusion? Clem

      You most definitely don't want seeds absorbed into your gut. Seeds and plant babies, and plants that let their babies get eaten didn't spread their genes as much as plants that crammed their babies full of toxins. So the plants that exist today are the descendants of plants that crammed the most toxins into their babies.
      The toxins can be partially destroyed by various means, but generally speaking, if you care about your health, you shouldn't eat seeds.

    Hey Zoe Team, I have a couple of questions that I would love to hear one of the docs talk about at some point.
    1. How can people with high histamine levels (histamine sensitivity) best incorporate fermented foods into their diets to support their gut. Can it be done? Or best to stay away.
    2. I have been told by other health care practitioners that people should avoid things like chocolate and popcorn because it can be bad for the ileocecal valve, leading to a host of other issues in the body. I have only found mixed information about this, but would love to hear a comment about it. (Clearly the Professor is in favor, so...)
