Great advice! I love whole fruits and vegetables. But I have cut out refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, most artificial sweeteners, white flour, vegetable/seed oils, and other ultra processed foods. They have been replaced with antioxidant fruits and vegetables and other foods with anti-inflammatory properties.
Thank you for the information on what to NOT eat! It’s never too much, repeating this advice to as many people as possible. Here is a question on what to eat; sorry, a bit long, due to background. My husband and I are on a plant based diet, plus fish, cheese, yoghurt, eggs. We drink unsweetened coffee and water; we eat a lot of vegetables, pulses, fruit (seasonal), berries, dried fruits like dates instead of added sugar, mushrooms, seeds, whole grains (my husband bakes whole grain sourdough bread at home); we use countless spices. We never count calories but I wanted to get an idea of how much fiber we are eating. I made myself a little database and a 'calculator', listed the plants we eat/cook each week, and I was pretty surprised to find out that the result was ~700g fiber, and an equal amount of (plant based) protein. This means in average 50g per person per day between the two of us. In addition to this there was the rest of protein we eat, maybe another 20-30g of protein per day per person. The ‘healthy eating’ general guidance we hear is to eat 25-30g of fiber per day, while the guidance for protein is often 0.8-1g/kg of body weight (the lower limit is for women), with some ‘extremists’ going as high as 1.6-2g/kg of body weight. (in case of physical intense activity) What is the basis for this guidance, and why such an imbalance - when we compare to what a varied plant-based diet seems to suggest?
Another great and informative video. Thank you!
