The Top 3 Ways To Slim Down With Gut Bacteria

Your body contains trillions of bacteria. The majority of these bacteria are located in your intestines.

Gut bacteria play several important roles in your health, such as communicating with your immune system and producing certain vitamins.

Your gut bacteria can also affect how different foods are digested and produce chemicals that help make you feel full. As a result, they can affect your weight.

What Are Gut Bacteria?

Trillions of bacteria and microorganisms live on your skin and in your body. In fact, there are likely more bacterial cells in your body than human cells.

It is estimated that in a 154-pound (70-kg) man, there are around 40 trillion bacterial cells and only 30 trillion human cells. Most of these bacteria live in a part of your large intestine called the cecum.

There are hundreds of different types of bacteria in your intestines. While some may cause disease, most of them carry out essential tasks to keep you healthy.

For example, your gut bacteria produce certain vitamins, including vitamin K, and communicate with your immune system to help your body fight off infection.

They also influence how you digest certain foods and produce chemicals that help make you feel full. Therefore, your gut bacteria influence your Setpoint Weight.

SUMMARY: Your body contains more bacterial cells than human cells. These bacteria are primarily located in your intestines and carry out essential tasks to keep you healthy. They have a major impact on your Setpoint Weight (which determines your body weight LONG-TERM).

Gut Bacteria Affect How Your Food Is Digested

Since your gut bacteria line your intestines, they come into contact with the food you eat. This affects what nutrients you absorb and how energy is stored in your body.

One study examined the gut bacteria in 77 pairs of twins, one of whom was obese and one of whom was not.

The study found that those who were obese had different gut bacteria than their non-obese twins. In particular, obesity was associated with lower gut bacteria diversity, meaning there were fewer types of bacteria in the gut.

Other studies have shown that if the gut bacteria from obese people are put into mice, the mice gain weight. This may be due to the effect of bacteria on the digestion of different foods.

For example, humans can’t digest fiber but certain gut bacteria can. By digesting fiber, these gut bacteria produce a number of chemicals that benefit gut health and possibly promote weight loss.

For example, a number of studies have shown that people with high fiber intake -- aka eating SANEly -- store less body fat, which may be due to the role that gut bacteria play in digesting fiber.

A recent study found that the ratio of two types of bacteria in your intestines may strongly determine your Setpoint Weight.

These two bacteria are Prevotella, which digests fiber and carbohydrates, and Bacteroidetes, which relate more to protein and fat.

Your gut bacteria also digest certain antioxidants found in plants known as flavonoids, which may help prevent weight gain.

Finally, your gut bacteria can influence how dietary fats are absorbed in the intestines, which may affect how fat is stored in the body.

SUMMARY: Your gut bacteria affect your Setpoint Weight in part by influencing how different foods are digested in your body. Dietary fiber is digested by certain species of gut bacteria, which may aid weight loss.

Gut Bacteria Affect Inflammation

Inflammation occurs when your body activates your immune system to fight infection.

It can also be caused by an inSANE diet. For example, a diet containing too much processed fat and process carbs (aka inSANE food), can lead to elevated inflammatory chemicals in the bloodstream and fat tissue, which may contribute to weight gain.

Your gut bacteria play an important role in inflammation. Some species produce chemicals like lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which cause inflammation when they pass into the blood.

When mice are given LPS, they gain as much weight and have similar increases in blood sugar and insulin as mice fed a high-processed-fat diet.

Therefore, certain gut bacteria that produce LPS and cause inflammation may contribute to weight gain and insulin resistance.

However, some species of intestinal bacteria may reduce inflammation and prevent weight gain.

Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia are beneficial species of bacteria that help maintain a healthy gut barrier and prevent inflammatory chemicals from passing from the gut into the bloodstream.

Studies in mice have found that Akkermansia can reduce weight gain and insulin resistance by reducing inflammation.

Similarly, when mice were fed prebiotic fibers (like those in your SANE Snacks and Bars) to help increase Bifidobacteria in the gut, weight gain and insulin resistance decreased despite no reduction in calorie intake (yea lower Setpoint Weight!).

SUMMARY: Certain types of gut bacteria are essential for maintaining a healthy gut barrier and preventing inflammation, which can contribute to an elevated Setpoint Weight and therefore chronic weight gain.

Gut Bacteria Produce Chemicals That Help You Feel Hungry or Full

Your body produces a number of different hormones that affect your appetite, including leptin, ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY).

Some studies have shown that different bacteria in the gut can affect how much of these hormones are produced and whether you feel hungry or full.

Short-chain fatty acids are chemicals that are produced when certain species of gut bacteria break down fiber. One of these is known as propionate.

One study in 60 overweight adults found that taking propionate for 24 weeks significantly increased levels of the hormones PYY and GLP-1, both of which influence hunger.

People who took propionate also had reduced food intake and reduced weight gain.

Other studies have shown that prebiotics supplements, which contain compounds that are fermented by gut bacteria, can have a similar effect on appetite.

People who ate 16 grams of prebiotics per day for two weeks had higher levels of hydrogen in their breath. This indicates gut bacterial fermentation, less hunger and higher levels of the hormones GLP-1 and PYY, which make you feel full.

TIP: You can find about this much prebiotic fiber in a single SANE Vanilla Almond Meal Bar.

SUMMARY: Your gut bacteria can produce chemicals that can help make you feel full. By affecting your appetite, your gut bacteria may play a role in your weight. To help here, eat more prebiotic fiber (like those in your SANE Snacks and Bars).

The Best and Worst Foods for Your Gut Bacteria

A number of different foods are good for gut bacteria, including:

Non-starchy vegetables: Non-starchy vegetables contain many different fibers that are good for gut bacteria. Eating an assortment of non-starchy veggies can improve gut bacteria diversity, which is linked to a lower Setpoint Weight.

Whole-food fats like nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds also contain lots of fiber and healthy fats, which help support the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut.

Polyphenol-rich foods: These include raw undutched cocoa and green tea. The polyphenols in these foods can’t be digested alone but are broken down by beneficial gut bacteria, promoting the growth of good bacteria.

Fermented foods: Fermented foods include low-sugar yogurt, kombucha, kefir and sauerkraut. They contain beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli and can minimize other disease-causing bacteria in the intestines.

Prebiotics & Probiotics: Probiotics can help restore healthy gut bacteria after an illness or course of antibiotics and may even aid in lowering your Setpoint Weight (and thus long-term weight loss). Prebiotics feed you good gut bacteria, are super beneficial for basically every aspect of your health and weight, and are a primary ingredients in all of your SANE Bars and Snacks.

On the other hand, eating inSANE foods will harm gut your bacteria, including:

Sugary foods: A diet high in sugar can stimulate the growth of certain unhealthy bacteria in the gut, which may contribute to weight gain and other chronic health disorders.

Artificial sweeteners: Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and saccharin reduce beneficial bacteria in the intestines, which may contribute to high blood sugar. Stick with safe, natural, SANE sweetness such as erythritol and luo han guo.

Foods containing processed fats: Healthy fats such as omega-3s support beneficial bacteria in the intestines, whereas too many inSANE processed fats may contribute to the growth of disease-causing bacteria.

SUMMARY: High-fiber SANE food all support healthy gut bacteria, while inSANE sugary foods, artificial sweeteners and unhealthy fats are bad for your gut bacteria.

The Bottom Line

Your body contains trillions of bacteria that influence your health and Setpoint Weight in many ways.

Your gut bacteria can affect how your food is digested, how fat is stored and whether you feel hungry or full.

Thus, a healthy gut bacteria may be important for maintaining a healthy weight.

High-fiber SANE foods like non-starchy vegetables and whole-food fats all strongly promote healthy gut bacteria.
