Get in Shape with Your Gut
Do you count calories, avoid those chocolate treats, exercise regularly, and still not feel good when you look in the mirror? Discipline alone isn’t enough. Studies show that the composition of the gut microbiome can play a crucial role.
Here you’ll discover how to feel better from the inside out, step by step – and the part your gut plays in it.

I'm trying everything and nothing seems to be working...
When the number on the scales doesn’t go down, the focus quickly shifts to “not enough discipline” or “not enough exercise”.
But the reality is more complex. Alongside diet and lifestyle, many other factors come into play: lack of sleep, stress and trauma, hormones, genetic predisposition, medication, or simply age.
Another important factor that is often overlooked is the gut microbiome. The composition of our gut bacteria influences how many calories we absorb from food and how this affects our comfortable, feel-good weight.
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.
