Interesting topic :-))))). Oh I wouldn't know where 2 begin 
What counts as plant foods: I begin every day with muesli,[oats], dried blueberries and pumpkin seeds and a splash of milk. Lunch today was: 3 red radishes; a stick of celery; 3 lettuces leaves 
; brown bread with seeds; pate; does tea count, as it's drink made with leaves. Evening meal was chicken curry with spices on a naan bread. Followed by a lolly.
Occasionally I eat: tomatoes, cucumber; fish and chips once a week, I always count spuds in any shape/form 
. Bananas; melon, mango, grapes - all occasionally. Mixed nuts; occasionally.
Since I stopped foods/drinks with hidden sugars I've felt a lot less bloated and that irritating reflux cough has eased. 
What is suggested, R there recipes in the book?
I haven't got the book yet, so my knowledge is limited but my understanding from the snippets I've seen him talking about on Instagram are that you eat 30 varieties of plants per week. By plants he means fruits, especially berries, nuts, seeds, veg including potatoes, with skin ideally, herbs and spices, wholegrains, pulses, legumes, olive oil and even tea and coffee though I personally don't count them.
You need to eat 30 different plants per week, but different colours of the same veg each count.
I'm not sure what he counts as a portion yet so I'm just been going by what I know from other sources. Veg would be 80g, nuts a handful. The rest I'm having what I think is about right.
I've written a list of all the plant based foods that I generally have in the house, it really does add up! I'm finding it very easy to hit 30.
I also do time restricted eating, before it was a thing as I never liked eating early or late and I'm convinced its the reason I haven't developed type 2 as at times my diet has been quite shocking.
My daily intake looks like this; After 10am a tumbler with turmeric, honey, apple cider vinegar and hot water. Oats with walnuts, almonds and some seeds. A mid afternoon smoothie of various fruit and veg, it will usually include a cooked beetroot, I might also have a protein nibble of some sort too. Then Dinner of pulses, or grains with veg and some protein. I don't eat after 18.00hrs.
I'm curious to see how this works for weight loss as I've always counted calories so this is a bit of a challenge but I think it makes a lot of sense.
