Publisher Description
Losing weight for good is truly possible with a science-based approach to gut health.
Recent cutting-edge research shows that human intestinal microbiota influence metabolism, appetite, energy, hormones, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Because gut microflora plays a central role in weight management, losing weight is much more than cutting calories, fat, or carbs. When the trillions of live bacteria in our digestive tract—the gut microbiome—are balanced, excess pounds melt away and we feel revitalized.
A leading authority on digestive health and the gut microbiome, Dr. Gerard E. Mullin shares a proven, science-based program to restore and retain weight loss by achieving a balanced gut flora in The Gut Balance Revolution. He reveals how to stifle the fat-forming, disease-promoting gut bacteria, reseed your gut with good fat-burning ones, and fertilize those friendly flora with just the right foods to reboot, rebalance, and renew your health—and lose weight for good. It's all grounded in hard science and his over 20 years of clinical experience with patients in his medical practice. Dr. Gerry Mullin's trailblazing program provides:
• Research: The latest, up-to-date frontline science behind how balancing your gut flora can burn fat and restore health
• Reboot, Rebalance, Renew: Step-by-step meals plans, food charts, plus 50 delicious, easy recipes
• Rev Up: An exercise routine for each phase of the process
• Real Life: Bona fide success stories of people who seamlessly lost up to 40 pounds—and kept it off!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Citing decades of professional medical experience and scientific research, as well as personal history as an obese teen, gastroenterologist Mullin posits that a healthy "gut microbiome," a complex intestinal ecosystem that holds enormous sway over body function, is a key factor in permanent weight loss. Mullin presents a three-part program to weed out the "bad bugs" (bacteria) through a low-carb, moderate-fat, high-protein 30-day diet. He incorporates whole-food carbs and prebiotic foods to cultivate the presence of healthy bacteria while weight-loss goals are being met. After the 30 days, readers can switch to a lifelong maintenance phase that allows for eating off the plan. The very workable plan is enhanced with lists of metabolism-boosting, pre- and probiotic, and maintenance foods; anti-stress measures and exercises; detailed meal plans, shopping lists and appealing recipes (like blueberry spice waffles and crunchy almond tuna salad); and inspiring real-life success stories. Mullin's promise of quick, sustainable weight loss through practices that also combat chronic health problems and discourage disease will have many readers lining up to devour this sensible guide.
