A beautiful article in The Newsweek illustrates all the discoveries of recent years, more precisely since 2006, which have led experts to focus on the study of intestinal flora and its links with body weight . In fact, it is true that our ability to gain weight or stay thin does not depend only on how many calories we consume, but on which intestinal bacteria populate our intestines?

From the experiments conducted on mice it would seem so. Dr. _  _ _ he found that in about two weeks the skinny mouse gained weight regardless of the diet, which had remained the same. Conversely, fatty mice that harbor the bacterial flora of lean mice will tend to lose weight.
People with fast metabolism? They would have a different intestinal flora from those with slow metabolism.In fact, over the years, scientists have found significant correlations between intestinal bacteria and metabolism, intestinal bacteria and body weight, intestinal bacteria and immune defenses. What would these discoveries lead to? There are about three hypotheses about how intestinal bacteria can make us lose weight or gain weight regardless of how much we eat. Let’s see them together on page two.
