Step by Step:
Getting in Shape Made Easy
Lasting change rarely results from short-term measures. A more effective approach takes several areas of life into account: how you eat, how you move, how you unwind – and also the conditions in your gut.
This is how, step by step, a daily routine develops that aligns with your goals and feels completely natural, rather than a strict regime.

I’m already trying everything – why isn’t anything changing?
Sustainable progress rarely comes from quick, extreme measures. A far more successful approach is a holistic one that takes different aspects of your life into account – your eating habits, your movement, your recovery phases, and equally the internal balance of your gut.
In this way, a lifestyle gradually develops that supports your goals and integrates naturally into your everyday life, without feeling like a rigid concept.
It Starts with Food & Movement
A good foundation for everyday life is created when mostly fresh, minimally processed foods make it onto the plate. Vegetables, fruit, legumes, wholegrain products, nuts and seeds not only offer a wide range of flavours and textures, but also provide the fibre that helps maintain balance in the gut microbiome. Eating this way naturally creates more variety – on the plate and within your gut.
When it comes to movement, this does not mean an extreme exercise regime. Even regular, moderately demanding activities – such as brisk walks, cycling as part of daily life or short workouts at home – change how your body feels day to day. What matters less is the “perfect” type of exercise and more the routine that fits into your daily life.
Support from Within
Your gut microbiome responds to what you eat every day. Fibre-rich foods and specifically formulated fibre blends act as food for your bacteria: they reach the large intestine and provide gut bacteria with exactly the plant fibres that many of them benefit from most. Special multi-species probiotics further supplement your gut flora with selected bacterial strains in a carefully coordinated composition and can therefore become part of your routine.
Sleep & Stress Management
Sleep, stress and eating behaviour are closely intertwined. Hectic periods also put our gut bacteria into a state of alarm, and as an initial response, the substances that are needed in times of stress are “stored” – namely fat and sugar. A study by the National Academy of Sciences also shows that lack of sleep, which is often associated with stress, can lead to weight problems, particularly in women.
Small rituals such as a fixed bedtime, a digital break before going to sleep, or consciously scheduled breathing and relaxation moments can help create new structures here.
Studies prove certain bacteria promote weight gain
Trillions of bacteria live in the gut. These microorganisms are responsible for more than “just” digestion. Numerous studies confirm that the gut flora of people who are overweight is usually different from that of people of normal weight.
Research has shown that Firmicutes (so-called “fattening” bacteria) clearly predominate in people who are overweight, and that the ratio between “fatteners” and “figure-friendly” bacteria can be shifted by as much as 2,000:1.
Firmicutes
Promote weight gain
If we eat an unbalanced or unhealthy diet, we support the “fattening bacteria”. If there are too many of these “fat-producing bacteria” (aggressive fibre-splitting clostridia from the Firmicutes genus) in the gut, this has a major drawback: studies show that these bacteria actively break down fibre that is actually indigestible and extract energy from it.
This can amount to up to 20% more calories per day, in addition to the energy normally contained in food.
VS
Bacteroidetes
Figure-flattering bacteria
The bacteria that support us on the path towards feeling good in our bodies are scientifically known as Bacteroidetes. These bacteria encapsulate and isolate excess sugar in the gut, which is then transported out of the body with the stool.
The “figure-friendly” bacteria are anaerobic, meaning they cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. To keep them thriving in our gut, we therefore need to make it “appealing” for them to stay – for example through a fibre-rich diet. One of their “favourite foods” is apple pectin. This valuable dietary fibre also has the property of swelling in the stomach and intestines, thereby “filling” the digestive tract and giving you a fuller feeling.

3 Steps for your Feel-Good Figure
Our Expert Recommendation
Step 1: OMNi-BiOTiC® metabolic
Reowned clinics have proved that “fattening bacteria” can be reduced with targeted methods. In OMNi-BiOTiC® metabolic, a selection of bacterial strains has been combined to sustainably fight the unwanted bacteria in the gut.
Step 2: OMNi-LOGiC® APPLE PECTIN
Apple pectin is the ideal food source for Bacteroidetes – the bacteria that help eliminate sugar from the body. If Bacteroidetes bacteria have sufficient apple pectin available, they multiply and settle permanently in our bodies.
OMNi-LOGiC® APPLE PECTIN contains only high-quality apple pectin, is free from additives of any kind, and is also suitable for vegans.
We repeatedly demonstrate entrepreneurial courage by investing heavily in research, as this is the only way we can guarantee that our products meet the highest scientific standards and truly help our customers.
