Summary:
"The secret to
permanent
weight
loss
revealed. The real reason diets fail has nothing to do with calories and everything to do with the
balance
of bacteria in
your
gut
. A simple guide to show you how to finally achieve
your
ideal
weight
. The 100 trillion bacteria that live in
your
digestive
tract--which make up 90 percent of the cells in
your
body--are the real reason you gain or lose
weight
. There are two main groups of bacteria in the
gut
: Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. When those microbes are out of
balance
, chronic health conditions can occur, including irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, and obesity. By balancing the good and bad bacteria, you can finally achieve
your
ideal weight--for good. Brenda Watson offers a perspective on the little-known connection between
weight
gain and an underlying imbalance of bacteria in the
gut
, or what she calls the "
gut
factor"--the overlooked root cause of
weight
gain. Brenda illuminates the inner workings of the
digestive
system
and provides instructions for achieving a healthy bacterial ecosystem that spurs
weight
loss
by enabling the body to absorb fewer calories from food, experience reduced cravings, and store less fat. Curtail sugar consumption (and its surprising sources) and eat more healthy fats, living foods, and protein to
balance
the
gut
bacteria. The result? A
skinny
gut
. An easy-to-follow
diet
plan: A 14-day eating plan, dozens of delicious recipes and sage advice help you achieve--and maintain--digestive
balance
and sustained
weight
loss
. Ten individuals who transformed their health on the
Skinny
Gut
Diet
. Become
your
own health advocate so that you can finally shed unwanted pounds and enjoy optimal health and vitality. Brenda Watson is a Certified Nutritional Counselor and natural health practitioner specializing in
digestive
care, nutrition, internal cleansing and detoxification"--Provided by publisher.
