5. The Skinny Gut Diet: Balance Your Digestive System for Permanent Weight Loss

Heard the phrase you are what you eat? Well, Brenda Watson says that, really, you are what’s in your gut. And if what’s in your gut isn’t ideal, it can lead to weight gain and/or trouble losing weight. Called the “gut factor,” there are trillions of bacteria inside your gut and whether or not they are in balance can lead to weight-loss success or issues. In addition to some eye-opening information about why we really gain weight based on the latest science, this book includes success stories, a 14-day sample eating plan, 75-plus recipes and plenty of tools to help you improve your gut factor. We’re not “diet” fans, but the info in this book is solid and pretty darn fascinating.
