We want to be lean. And we want to lose that annoying fat around our bellies! Achieve these goals with The Lose Your Belly Diet. Based new research about the dramatic benefits of vibrant gut health and a diverse gut microbiome, this plan nurtures your gut while helping you burn off excess weight and harmful belly fat. Eating food that nourishes and protects the microbes in your gut paves the way for weight loss, a slimmer middle, and better overall health. It's not just about weight loss. Having great gut health is linked to good health throughout your body. Scientists are finding connections between gut microbes and the immune system, weight loss, gastrointestinal health, allergies, asthma, and even cancer. Having a healthy gut leads to having a healthy body. We're accustomed to thinking of bacteria as bad, and some are, but most of the bacteria and microbes in our guts do amazing things, like working with our immune system to fight disease and helping our bodies digest food. We live without them and as their numbers and diversity increase, so too does our health.
