The bacterial imbalance thats dooming your diet (by Dr Jonathan Wright) A brilliant international team of researchers has just discovered a scary intestinal secret that has quietly been ruining the dieting efforts of many people. If you dont have the exact right balance of bacteria in your gut, your battle against the bulge could be as good as lost! In one study, researchers analysed the gut bacteria of 169 volunteers who were overweight, and 123 who werent. The participants who were overweight were lacking several key species of gut bacteria needed to properly metabolise foods and stop the pounds from piling on. The fact is, your gut bacteria are living organisms that need certain nutrients to thrive. Years of eating the sugar-laden processed foods known as the American diet, can leave them decimated… killed off by the millions.. The good news is that one simple dietary change may be all you need to restore your gut bacteria levels and finally start shedding that stubborn fat. In a second study, researchers found that people who ate a fibre-rich diet were able to quickly change the composition of their gut bacteria – and, even better, they started dropping pounds fast. Lets face it – theres nothing pleasant about being overweight, and its a real danger to your health. Start working more fibre-packed fruits and vegetables into your routine, and give yourself a fighting chance against fat.
