P. 8
In a 12-week clinical trial published in the esteemed British
Journal of Nutrition , Japanese scientists recruited 210
overweight volunteers and divided them into two groups.
The first group drank milk which included a species of 'lean
bacteria' called Lactobacillus Gasseri.
The placebo group drank only the milk.
Fast forward just 12 weeks, and the L. Gasseri group had
lost, on average, a whopping 8.5% of belly fat.
For the typical American woman weighing 170 lbs, that's a
loss of 15 lbs of stubborn fat in just three months – doing
nothing else.
Added to that, the study found that the participants had
"significantly reduced" their overall body weight, BMI, and
waist size, as well as the amount of dangerous visceral fat
around their organs.
Crucially, the control group who didn't take L. Gasseri
showed no changes at all!
Even better, when the L. Gasseri group stopped drinking
the milk and came back one month later for a follow-up,
the scientists were shocked to discover that the fat loss
stopped too, and their weight, BMI, waist size, and visceral
fat had begun to climb again…
