The Clever Guts Diet - Michael Mosley

Your gut is astonishingly clever. It contains millions of neurons as many as you would find in the brain of a cat and is home to the microbiome, an army of microbes that influences your mood, weight and immune system.
In this ground-breaking 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. Setting the record straight on everything from prebiotics to probiotics, fermented foods to fasting, Dr. Mosley provides scientifically proven ways to control your appetite and boost your mood. The Clever Guts Diet is packed with delicious, healing recipes, menu plans, checklists, and tips - all the tools you need to create a healthy gut diet plan. This book will change the way you eat forever.

Michael Mosley trained to be a doctor at the Royal Free Hospital in London. After qualifying, he joined the BBC, where he has become a well-known television presenter. He is the author of The Fast Diet and The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet. He is married with four children.
