From #1 New York Times bestselling author of The FastDiet and The
8-Week Blood Sugar Diet, a groundbreaking book about your gut--the
"second brain" of the body--and "the life-changing new plan that'll make
you healthier, happier, and slimmer" (Daily Mail). Your gut is
astonishingly clever. It contains millions of neurons and is home to the
microbiome, an army of tiny organisms that influence your mood, your
immune system, and even your appetite. In this groundbreaking book, Dr.
Mosley takes us on a revelatory journey through the gut, showing how
junk food and overuse of antibiotics have wiped out many "good" gut
bacteria leading to a modern plague of allergies, food intolerances, and
obesity. Drawing from the latest cutting-edge research, Dr. Mosley
provides scientifically proven ways to control your cravings, boost your
mood, and lose weight by feeding the "good" bacteria that keep you
healthy and lean, while staving off "bad" bacteria that contribute to
weight gain and disease. Dr. Mosley also shares a simple two-phase
healing program, an effective way to repair and replenish the microbiome
and to ease intestinal distress. Discover how foods like chocolate, red
wine, and cheese can be part of a gut-healthy diet; how fasting can
strengthen the gut and boost "good" bacteria; how changing your
microbiome can undo the damage of yo-yo dieting; and how opening a
window (and other simple acts) can improve gut health. Packed with
delicious, healing recipes, meal plans, checklists, and helpful tips,
The Clever Gut Diet includes all the tools you need to transform your
gut and your health for the rest of your life.
