Intermittent fasting, Chloe Ting workout. IU diet, and even detox water. If you have tried all these methods, but still fail to shed those pounds, time to get your gut checked instead. 
Most of you overlook gut bacteria when it comes to your weight-loss routine. But, hear this- 80% of your serotonin (happy chemical) comes from your gut.
So, the more serotonin you have, the less stress-eating you do. That also means less cortisol you have.
If you didn't know, cortisol is a hormone that puts fat on your belly. The bright side of healthy gut bacteria is better digestion and fewer cravings. Now, that you know how everything comes together, time to find out how to actually maintain a healthy gut!
