Presented scientific research, gut health and nutrition in a very accessible manner. However the writing style was difficult to keep up with sometimes as it felt more like a conversation. I also found the recipes not very approachable/ able to be incorporated into daily life. The plant points idea was definitely interesting and will be using that going forward!

"Eat More, Live Well: Enjoy Your Favourite Food and Boost Your Gut Health with The Diversity Diet" by Megan Rossi is a comprehensive guide promoting a plant-based diet for improved gut health. It emphasizes the significance of a diverse diet in nurturing a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for overall well-being. The book advocates for a shift from processed foods to whole, minimally processed plant-based options, emphasizing the benefits of fiber-rich foods and a varied, colorful diet. The author highlights the role of diverse plant-based foods in promoting a balanced gut microbiome, leading to better digestion and absorption of nutrients. Rossi encourages readers to incorporate a variety of plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, into their diet, aiming for 30 servings of unique plant-based foods each week. The book also stresses the importance of food preparation, suggesting enjoyable ways to incorporate new flavors and ingredients into daily meals. By prioritizing diversity and quality in plant-based nutrition, readers can improve their gut health and overall well-being in a sustainable and effective manner.
The book receives a rating of 1 star due to the following reasons:
1. Lack of Novelty: The book fails to offer new or groundbreaking insights into the benefits of a plant-based diet and its impact on gut health. The information provided largely echoes existing knowledge without providing any unique perspectives or research.
2. Repetitive Content: The content is often repetitive, reiterating the importance of a diverse plant-based diet and its positive effects on gut health without providing substantial new information or strategies for implementation.
3. Limited Practical Guidance: The book lacks practical guidance on how to effectively transition to a diverse plant-based diet. It falls short in providing detailed meal plans, recipes, or actionable steps that readers can easily incorporate into their daily routines.
4. Overemphasis on General Knowledge: The book tends to overemphasize commonly known facts about the importance of fiber and plant-based nutrition, without offering in-depth analysis or presenting new scientific evidence to support its claims.
5. Lack of Credible Research: There is a noticeable absence of in-depth and credible scientific research to support the claims made in the book. The absence of specific studies or expert opinions undermines the credibility of the information presented.
Overall, the book lacks originality, practicality, and substantive evidence, leading to a diminished value for readers seeking comprehensive and insightful guidance on plant-based diets and gut health.

The answer to eating more and living well is: Diversity! Humans have evolved to enjoy an incredible variety of foods and to enjoy their taste, smell, texture, and color along the way. Even more, we’ve coevolved with trillions of microorganisms in our guts to help us get everything we need from the fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, dairy, meats, and fish we consume. But they need whole, minimally processed foods to thrive.
And if the mention of meat or dairy in a plant-based plan surprises you, it shouldn’t. Because plant-based eating isn’t about restricting the foods you already consume – it's about adding a host of new plant-based foods that boost health, energy levels, and well-being. Instead of focusing on calories or macros, the plant-based approach focuses on the gut microbiome and the variety of foods it needs for healthy functioning. These include more herbs and spices, too, so it doesn’t mean skimping on flavor.
This approach is vital because more and more scientific research has confirmed that the gut microbiome influences more than just digestion. It regulates mood, hormone levels, and blood sugar. It helps promote healthy sleep and blood pressure while reducing heart disease and bad cholesterol. In short, a healthy gut means a healthy human and few plans address this fact.

This is a great book, lots of tips on how to include 30 plants a week into your diet. I’ve been able to take points on board and use them immediately, also now I have a better understanding of what is included and how to be more diverse, I’m getting to 35-40 plants a week.
I haven’t tried any of the recipes yet but that’s next!

Overall simple and easy to read. Gut first, diversity is key. My belly grinded on some stuff and went on to eat so dates, almonds and a left over raw hemp seed I had in the kitchen mixed into a shake.

It is a good book that provides an easy-to-follow diet plan. Rossi's approach to healthy eating is refreshing, as she focuses on practical and sustainable changes rather than restrictive diets.
