Publisher's Synopsis
Why does a person (more or less) voluntarily torture himself with a diet?Most people want their disliked love handles to simply disappear, and as quickly as possible. Or frequent stomach aches and embarrassing flatulence make our lives difficult, while we desperately search for cause and solution. The search for the perfect short-term program begins (once again), and a formerly relaxed person who has been feasting with pleasure until just now becomes a "diet victim" (usually starting on Monday, as this is the most terrible day of all anyway). The diet usually includes an ambitious sports program (from zero to one hundred in three days), renouncing everything we hold dear, and lots of stress in obtaining strange ingredients like "organic edamame".Those who are sick and tired of this madness will love the "Microbiome Anti-Diet". It is a loose concept for a healthier life and can be easily integrated into everyone's everyday life, no matter what it is like. Instead of a collection of recipes and regulations, the book contains a simple guide to creative thinking and tips for a relaxed-healthy diet, based on the most exciting findings from microbiome research. With the new fun of conscious shopping and eating, the fat pads will shrink by themselves - and if they don't, that's no big deal either. The main thing is that we are healthy, and the little Life-Hacks can certainly help with that. A little scientific curiosity about the mysterious world of microbes is definitely helpful. The first discovery of the tiny, unknown creatures called bacteria was not so long ago. As soon as they were discovered, they were unceremoniously named plants (intestinal flora), and finally the era of the great extinction of bacteria began, which continues to this day. But the tide starts turning. The old fashioned intestinal flora now bears the much cooler name "microbiome", and it is becoming increasingly clear that this army of bacteria, which can weigh up to four pounds, has an enormous influence on our health, our figure and even our emotions. The microbiome can help us to become healthy, slim and even happy. But it needs some support. From the very first page, your exciting journey together with two billion new friends begins. You will learn why our microbes easily outshine even Batman, take a look at bizarre methods of self-healing and then build the three pillars of the Microbiome Anti-Diet in a relaxed way: Relaxation, friendship with the microbiome and microbe-friendly cooking and eating.
