Get a flatter tummy in just 6 weeks
The secrets of feeling great – and losing weight – by keeping your ‘friendly bacteria’ happy
Eight-page good gut guide with beauty guru Liz Earle
I’VE spent the past 30 years researching and writing about how eating the right foods can boost our outer beauty and inner wellbeing, and help us look younger and leaner, feel better and live stronger. Yet my new book, The Good Gut Guide, is without a doubt the most significant one I’ve ever written.
What if I told you today the secret to better health – and even a flatter stomach – lies in the trillions of microscopic organisms that live inside us? I’m talking about microbes, a complex community of beneficial bacteria living inside our gut that make up our internal ‘microbiome’.
Friendly microbes affect not only the digestion of our food but also our brain health, mood, emotions, energy levels, and weight loss.
And it’s not just that. Many areas of medical science are now focusing on the gut – from ageing to obesity, arthritis to depression, cancer to cardiology, our microflora are firmly in charge and running the show.
Understanding this can give us the blueprint for a longer, happier, healthier life – and over the next seven pages I will be drawing on the latest research to reveal what we all really need to eat (and drink) to help beat food cravings, curb the appetite, boost digestion and even help keep our skin smooth and wrinkles at bay.
Follow my six-week regime and you’ll be tucking into delicious, easy-to-make recipes I have taste-tested on my own family that will help you cultivate and protect friendly flora and beneficial bacteria.
And the good news: while processed foods and fizzy drinks are out, roast dinners, delicious home-made bread and even dark chocolate are all very much part of the picture.
So let’s get ready to begin. Our first week starts with flushing out the bad bugs before we can properly repopulate with more of the good guys.
