Fix Your Gut to Lose Fat

A damaged gut leaks endotoxins into your bloodstream, triggering chronic inflammation that

breaks your insulin signaling. Now your body treats every calorie like an emergency reserve.

So you cut to 1500 calories and your belly fat stays. You drop to 1200 and the scale goes

up. You try fasting and your waist gets thicker. The less you eat,

the more your body panics and hoards fat for survival. You're not lazy or undisciplined.

You're inflamed. And you can't out-restrict inflammation. Fix the gut first, then the fat follows.
