3 TIPS TO STOP THE CONSTANT DIETING FOR GOOD

So…  we all know someone who just seems to have those lucky “skinny” genes - you know, that friend who always seems to be able to order anything off the menu and not gain a pound.  

Sure she tries to talk to you about exercising in solidarity but who are we kidding, the 20 minutes a day she puts in 3 times a week is nothing compared to the hour you have to put in 7 days a week just to keep the weight off.  

You diet, try to watch what you eat and exercise, but despite your best efforts those 5, 10 pounds keep creeping back and get harder and harder to get rid of.

It’s not your fault.  

Between a house full of kids, your spouse, your job and everyone else in your life, this may be the only time someone says this to you, so I’ll say it again.  It’s not your fault!

Your gut has to take some of the blame here.  It turns out there are billions of microscopic bacteria (aka “microbes”) living in your gut that impact how you store fat.  

An early study compared gut bacteria between thin and obese twins.  It found that the microbes in the guts of the lean twin had a wider variety of Bacteroidetes, those microbes that are experts in breaking down food for energy rather than fat storage. 

So now that you know it’s not entirely your fault, can you fix it?  

To quote Bob the Builder, Yes you can!

To build a healthy and diverse gut ecosystem that supports energy creation, you want to:

1.    Eat a variety of healthy and satisfying whole foods,

2.    Fill the nutritional gaps in your diet, and 

3.    Pay attention to your body’s signals. 

Whenever you make any of the changes above, you should find that you are both less hungry and easily able to get rid of those puppy pounds!
