    Hi I don’t think many doctors would agree that meat is the best food for your gut. Having a diet high in fibre is the recommended advice from credentialed experts. With bowel cancer rates rising in young people fibre is crucial.

    Every doctor we had on this podcast (and there were many) agreed that meat is excellent food for the gut. Some of them were pro- fibre, and many said we don’t need it. To our understanding, while fibre is beneficial, it can also irritate the gut if consumed in excess. All the doctors indicated that ultraprocessed foods are the primary cause of most gut health issues and that organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat is beneficial, especially during periods of gut irritation. We are happy to answer any questions you have about this topic. Book a complimentary nutrition consultation on our website if interested.

    I am quite interested in the calories and not getting enough. But for me i struggle to eat large amounts and i am over weight. For a period of time when i had blueberries growing i forced my self to eat one blueberry for breakfast every day and actually lost 10 kg. But i couldn’t keep that up. I notice my body rejects rejects the amount of food i see other people eat. I really stuggle to eat.

    That’s really interesting. It sounds like your appetite regulation is quite sensitive, which can happen when your metabolism or hormones adapt to a certain intake. Sometimes being overweight isn’t about overeating but rather what and how often you eat, and how your body handles energy. Eating very little for long periods can slow metabolism and make it harder to maintain weight loss. Instead of forcing yourself to eat more, focus on nutrient-dense foods like eggs, meat, fish, and dairy, which provide the most nutrition in small portions. It might also be worth checking thyroid, gut health, and protein intake, since all can affect appetite and energy use.
