Summary
I’ve been talking a lot about healthy protein and sometimes it can feel like you have to pick a side. Protein or fibre. But for long-term health, you want both on your plate. The problem is, 96% of people still don’t hit the recommended daily fibre target. Even if you eat vegetables at every meal. A salad is brilliant for micronutrients and polyphenols, but alone it’s usually not enough to reach the 30g of fibre a day linked to better gut health, satiety, cholesterol and a lower risk of disease. But for a lot of people, trying to eat more fibre comes with one big problem… bloating. So today I’m joined by Dr Emily Leeming , former chef, registered dietitian, scientist at King’s College London and author of the new book ‘ Fibre Power’ , to break down how to increase fibre in a way that works for your gut. She brings a rare combination of ongoing research, clinical practice and love for food. We cover: Key signs you may not be eating enough fibre How to eat 30g of fibre a day without bloating High-fibre foods people often overlook The difference between high and low FODMAP foods Whether fibre supplements are worth it One fibre habit to start today It’s a really practical episode and I hope it leaves you inspired to make a few tweaks to gently increase your fibre intake.
