More From Delish
Dr. Travis Stork’s known for hosting The Doctors, a health-focused daytime talk show, but these days, it’s his latest book that’s getting all the attention. In December, he released The Lose Your Belly Diet, a book that aims to help people lose weight by focusing on the bacteria in your gut.
Though it’s been months since its debut, the book continually spikes on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers list its roundup of the top-selling products across the site and it’s currently listed as the No. 1 bestseller in the Diet Books category. Naturally, this begs the question: What’s all the hype about? Aside from the famous author and the fact that the title suggests fixing a problem just about every human struggles with . Is it all just marketing hype?
While it is cleverly marketed, what sets the diet apart from many out there is its focus on microbiomes those tiny organisms that live in our bodies, particularly our stomachs. Having a healthy mix of bacteria in your gut can keep you healthy, lowering your chance for various diseases and help keep your weight in check, according to Dr. Stork.
