Microbiome and Gut Bacteria Made Simple

Your microbiome, or ‘gut flora,’ (microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites and fungi) is solely governed by what you eat. If you, for example, stop eating harmful fiber and starches (carbohydrates,) the bacteria that feed off it will die and be replaced by other bacteria that enjoy what you are now eating. The only reason you have a specific strain of bacteria is because that strain is taking advantage of what you are feeding them […]

While vitamins and minerals are in chemical form, which cannot be absorbed by humans and need to be converted, other problems also arise, such as antinutrients, fiber, and poisonous plant defense chemicals.

The main reason for including “low protein days” (less than 50 g protein during 24 hours), was to avoid protein habituation. At the time of writing the book, I had used the concept of
