The scientists were shocked to find that the lean twins benefitted from a rich and diverse gut microbiome packed full of ‘lean bacteria’ species that helped to:
✅ Suppress hunger
✅ Dampen cravings
✅ Fire up the metabolism, and…
✅ Reduce fat storage
On the flip side, the gut microbiome of the overweight twins was less diverse, and dominated by a few species of “fat bacteria” that was shown to:
✅ Ramp up hunger
✅ Fuel uncontrollable cravings
✅ Freeze the metabolism, and…
✅ Increase fat storage!
The Director of the Stanford University Microbiome Therapies Initiative called it: “the clearest evidence to date that gut bacteria can cause weight gain.”
