Weight loss can often be a hard journey for many, luckily there’s a new way to lose weight that involves healing your gut. <\/span><\/p>\n

From trend diets to restricting your body of nutrients it is often hard to know what your body needs in order to lose weight healthily.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Your digestive system aka your gut health, is one of the most important parts of your body, it breaks down food and nutrients which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair.<\/p>\n

There are lots of ways to lose weight over the short term, but this doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re healthy or sustainable.<\/p>\n

There are millions of bacteria living inside your gut, known as your microbiome.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s microbiome is unique to them, and everyone\u2019s plays a large factor in weight management.<\/p>\n

Studies by Kings College, London have shown that your microbiomes affect how even identical twins differ in gaining and storing weight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rather than counting calories, I\u2019d recommend focusing on variety – the more, the better – and keeping to appropriate portion sizes.<\/p>\n

However it is important not to obsess over portion control as this can impact your relationship with food as well as your overall well being.<\/p>\n

Unlike other types of carbohydrates, our human cells can\u2019t digest fibre.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s sole purpose is to feed our gut bacteria, which, in turn, produce beneficial compounds that help to balance our blood sugars and tell our brains that we\u2019re full.<\/p>\n

At the moment adults only getting 19g a day of fibre on average, out of the recommended 30g daily.<\/p>\n

So It\u2019s a good idea to increase your fibre intake to help with blood sugar balance.<\/p>\n

By eating more foods rich in fibre can be an effective strategy to help lose weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, it won\u2019t lead to long-term results unless you pair it with a lasting lifestyle change.<\/p>\n

A long lasting lifestyle change refers to daily exercise, getting plenty of sleep and nourishing the body with good whole foods.<\/p>\n

I suggest aiming for two pieces of fruit, five portions of vegetables, three portions of wholegrain, one to two portions of nuts or seeds daily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Also weight management isn\u2019t just about the food we eat, poor sleep quality can also be associated with weight gain and I recommend around seven to nine hours of sleep a night.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
