Struggling to lose weight even though you’re training hard and eating “clean”?
Your gut might be the real reason your body isn’t changing.
Your microbiome — the community of bacteria in your gut — plays a major role in how your body burns fat, controls appetite, manages cravings, and responds to carbs.
One of the biggest links?
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, propionate, and acetate.
These are produced by your beneficial gut bacteria and are connected with:
Better insulin sensitivity
More stable blood sugar
Lower inflammation
Improved appetite control
But when your gut is out of balance, SCFA-producing bacteria often decrease — especially:
Faecalibacterium
Roseburia
Bacteroides spp.
Low levels of these microbes are associated with inflammation and poorer insulin regulation, which can make fat loss feel slow, stubborn, and frustrating.
The good news?
You can improve your gut health with simple habits:
Eat fibre-rich foods daily
Add prebiotics (garlic, onions, oats, bananas)
Include fermented foods (yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut)
Move your body daily
Prioritise sleep + stress management
A healthier gut → better metabolic control → easier fat loss.
