It’s called Gut Makeover, and it’s a month-long diet to heal the gut , lose weight, and restore good microflora bacteria in greater quantities. This particular diet does not include calories or dosed quantities of foods, but is based on yes and no foods that change from two weeks to two weeks.

Conceived by British nutritionist Jeannette Hyde, who has written two books on the subject, the diet to heal the intestine includes a two-week detox phase that combines intermittent fasting with a diet based on a lot of fruit and vegetables, and makes you lose a lot of weight . In the second phase, other foods are introduced: the basic ones and the optional ones that can be included on the basis of one’s intestinal sensitivity.
