In 2021, Desmond authored The Plant-Based Diet Revolution which advocates a high-fibre whole food plant-based diet. According to Desmond "there is science showing us that individuals who consume a plant-based diet get tremendous gut microbial benefits and this may be some of the key reasons why people who eat a plant-based diet have lower risk of heart disease, stroke, colorectal cancer and numerous other diseases including Type 2 diabetes."[5] He recommends a whole-food plant-based diet, focused on fruit and vegetables , whole grains , legumes , nuts and seeds.[2] He has argued that a whole food plant-based diet may prevent many diseases.[6]
