Are Your Gut Bacteria Making You Fat?

 Can you really lose weight by changing your gut health?

Diets that are low in fiber and high in processed flour and sugar can cause gut bacteria dysbiosis or imbalance.

Certain molds, fungi, and parasites can influence what we crave and cause us to want refined foods like sugar and flour because these guys thrive on foods that don't make us feel good and keep us fat.

It doesn't seem logical that we crave these foods when we know they are bad for us but it isn't our fault.

The good news...

Once you correct your microbiota imbalances you can start to lose weight and keep it off more easily because you are less likely to overeat.

For years I was being pushed around by tiny microscopic bacteria that lived in my gut but I didn't know it

I used to have a craving for sweets every night after dinner and sometimes during the day too. After a healthy lunch or dinner, I would get this craving for more food even though I was full. And it was always the wrong kind of food.

If I didn't follow the commanding thought in my brain to go out and walk over to whole foods 4 blocks away and buy some Haggen Daz swiss vanilla chocolate almond ice cream or some processed bread or cookies, or muffins or something unhealthy the thought would get more insistent. It was very hard to resist.
