Bacteroides

Now, let's go to the second phase of this article.

It talks about that researchers have found that people who have a greater amount of Firmicutes bacteria compared to Bacteroides had that obesity correlated with an increase of Firmicutes and a decrease in Bacteroides microbes, okay? And they actually went on to say that if you had 60% Firmicutes, I like to call it Firmicutes, just sounds a little more fun, then Bacteroides, Bacteroides 40%, that that ratio is what will set you up for weight gain.

So think about that for a moment.

You're trying to change your diet.

You're trying to change your diet and you're not getting the result that you want with weight loss.

What if we start changing your microbiome? What if we worked on changing your balance of Firmicutes to Bacteroides? And we'll talk about this again at the end.

But I want you to have that mind shift.

that we have gotten so stuck in thinking that it's the quality of food when really it's the quality of the microbes that are going to have determine your weight loss effectiveness.

And what they have found is that it boils down to two different types of bacteria.

One is called Bacteroides, the other is called Firmicutes.

I call it Firmicutes, it's actually Firmicutes, but I like to call it Firmicutes.

And what they found is that if you have more bacteroides than you have firmicutes, you are going to be more prone to hold on to weight.

Okay, so let me put this together really quickly for you.

One, you're gonna increase your plant diversity.

Two, you're gonna check your gut to make sure you don't have a mismatch of Bacteroides to Firmicutes bacteria.

Three, you're gonna help your adrenals out by lowering stress, caffeine, and alcohol.

So stay tuned to my channel.

I'm going to show you what happened to my Bacteroides Firmicutes balance from going carnivore.

But if you know you've been on lots of antibiotics, you know you've had a lot of crappy food, you know you've got a lot of toxins, my first recommendation is just try carnivore fasting for a couple of days and see if you drop weight.

If you drop weight, hmm, that might be a sign that you need to bring that into your variation.

That's how you improve diversity.

And by the way, what kills diversity? Antibiotics.

So every round of antibiotic you are on, you are increasing Firmicutes, you're decreasing Bacteroides, and you are killing the diversity of your gut.

Can you see in an antibiotic loving culture why we have an obesity problem? Now, I want to put a bonus thought in here before I kind of give you a final steps on what to do.

She doesn't know what she's talking about because the microbiome I have studied to great lengths.

Now, I've never studied it as deeply as you have from a carnivore perspective, but I went and I started to do some research and I found that, and again, I know you know this, but that we've got this ratio, firmicutes to bacteroides ratio that gets out of balance with the standard American diet.

And so when you feed Bacteroides, you can start to flip that ratio and now people start to lose weight.

Is that, and the place you feed what your Bacteroides want is beef collagen.

That is what it is asking for you to feed it.

And I mean, I think I'd agree with Maria.
