Easy to read, simple concept. If you hate yoghurt, cottage cheese and tofu (like me) you might find the recipes a little lacking but there were some breakfast ideas that should get me out of the doldrums.

The concept in this one is simple: Aim for 30g of protein per meal, 30g fiber per day, and 30 different types of plants per week.
This is such a sustainable approach that I found quite useful because she advocates that weight loss shouldn’t be about restricting portions. It’s about eating high-volume, high-quality food that fuels you for the day so you don’t end up bingeing on thos UPF.
There’s a lot of recipes you can do for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it’s all very nourishing and creative- and all of them have 28-40g of protein and 8-12g of fiber. The small downside for me was that a lot of the recipes required a food processor. But anyway, that can easily be remedied.

To the point, easy tips to remember.
30g protein per meal, 30g fibre per day, 30 varieties of fruit and veg per week.
Tips on how to set calorie intake goals for weight maintenance.
Also some important body measurements to monitor towards the end of the book. I did not go through the recipes, but the author has been inclusive of vegan, vegetarian etc.

This is just what I needed to help me increase my protein to combat tiredness and some midlife weight gain. It’s well written, gets straight to the point, full of tips and over half of it is recipes . No complicated science or preaching, just practical advice. Is realistic about how to approach increasing protein and fibre and its short term side effects, so suggests starting with one meal a day.
Includes meal plans and habit trackers. For vegans and vegetarians too. Considers budget options and time poor people. Looking forward to the recipe book coming out.

I’ve read the book, and I’m hoping in 2026, it’s going to help me hit my daily protein target, and make 2026 my year!
