30-Day No-Sugar, High-Fiber, Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan, Created by a Dietitian

Looking for a nutrient-rich meal plan to follow? Look no further. In this 30-day no-added-sugar, high-fiber, anti-inflammatory meal plan, we map out an entire month of healthy meals and snacks tailored to help reduce inflammation in the body. Each day includes at least 30 grams of fiber per day—an important nutrient with some serious health benefits. Eating enough fiber can help support a healthy gut, facilitate weight loss and improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Yet, just 7% of Americans reach their daily fiber goal. To help reduce inflammation, we incorporate the principles of the anti-inflammatory diet, which research links to a reduced risk of developing chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. You’ll find an abundance of richly-pigmented fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, legumes and fish to help quell inflammation in the body. What you won’t find is any added sugars. While occasionally eating added sugars won’t derail efforts to reduce inflammation, many of us are eating more than we realize. The average adult in the U.S. consumes about 17 teaspoons of added sugar per day, which is well above the American Heart Association's recommended daily max of 6 teaspoons for women and 9 for men., When consumed in large amounts, added sugars may increase inflammation, which is why we opted to skip them in this plan. With three different calorie levels to choose from, this healthy eating plan can work for most people.

Health Benefits of this Anti-Inflammatory Plan

• No Added Sugar: A high intake of added sugar is linked to increased inflammatory markers, which can indicate the presence of chronic inflammation. Because of their impact on inflammation, excess added sugar intake may increase the risk of developing inflammatory health conditions, such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis, as well as conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Naturally-occurring sugars, like those found in fruits, vegetables and unsweetened dairy, don’t appear to have the same negative impact on health. 
• High in Fiber: Each day provides at least 30 grams of fiber, though most days come in higher than that. The USDA sets the Daily Value for fiber at 28 grams, meaning this is a good goal for most people. Fiber is found in plant-based foods, such as whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Adequate fiber intake is linked to many health benefits, including better gut health, more stable blood sugar levels and improved heart health.
• Follows Anti-Inflammatory Diet Principles: While there are certain foods that are particularly rich in anti-inflammatory properties, such as berries and salmon, the entire eating pattern should be considered when aiming to reduce inflammation. To do this, we prioritize whole grains, limit refined grains, avoid added sugars and processed meats, and emphasize nutrient-rich, high-fiber foods. Considering the eating pattern as a whole, rather than focusing on one or two specific foods, is a more adoptable lifestyle strategy to reduce inflammation in the body.
