Your Health begins in the GUT
There are many factors linked to weight gain, however the most common one is related to our diet and
food intake. An unhealthy diet that is high in fat, sugar, carbohydrates and low in fibre is one of the main
culprits of weight gain. That is not all, an unhealthy diet also impacts our gut health by creating an
imbalance in the gut microbiome.

What is the GUT MICROBIOME?


The term “gut microbiome” refers to the microorganisms living in your intestines. Each person has more
than 1,000 different species of bacteria, viruses and fungi living in our digestive tract.

The gut microbiome has many functions in our body. It helps digest nutrients, regulates energy usage,
supports our immune system, and sends hormonal cues to the brain that control our hunger and mood.

Any changes in the gut, such as a decrease in beneficial microorganisms OR an increase in unwanted
microorganisms OR lack of diversity of the microorganisms in the gut, can affect our health.

8
Your Health begins in the GUT
Poor gut microbiome has been associated with heart, lung and skin diseases, poor immunity, and in
particular, slowing down the body’s metabolism which can lead to weight gain.

Signs You Need for a GUT RESET


1. Stomach disturbances like bloating, burping, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn
2. Cravings for high sugar food
3. Unintentional weight changes
4. Sleep disturbance and low energy levels
5. Skin irritation
6. Poor immune health
7. Sudden mood swings and mental wellbeing
8. Food intolerance

Gut Reset
For A Better YOU!
This holistic healthy lifestyle programme combines professional expertise, support, and supplements to
help you improve your overall wellbeing, nutritional intake and activity level.

The 14-Day Healthy Gut Reset Programme is not about calorie counting – it is intended to help you reset
and rebalance your body’s natural mechanism, build positive habits and live a happier, healthier life.

5 Pillars of Wellbeing
Nutrition
Consuming the right amounts of macronutrients, vitamins,
minerals and phytonutrients will improve your gut health for
better metabolism (and help control calories!).
Activity
Building healthy habits around physical activities is a great way
to start improving your overall wellbeing.
Mindset
Wellbeing starts in the mind. Having confidence in your ability
to change your behaviour makes it easier to adopt a new,
healthier lifestyle.
Sleep
Getting enough quality sleep has a powerful influence over your
ability to manage your weight and improve your health.
Stress
Bring stress under control and you’re more likely to eat less and
feel more balanced.

Why 14 days?
This is a reset, a quick restart.

It is a great way to reset and prepare your body for the transition to a healthier diet and lifestyle. It also
aids in your weight management journey and increases the likelihood of keeping the weight off.

Research shows that our gut bacteria are very responsive to what we eat, and the gut population alters
almost as soon as we change our diet. Thus, your gut composition can change drastically in only a few
days!

Trust your “Gut Feeling” and RESET it to transform to a new & heathier GUT. Kickstart your weight
management journey and let the weight loss begin from your GUT!

14-Day Healthy Gut Reset: Guidelines
Here’s a quick guide to help you reset your gut microbiome and rebalance your
body mechanism.

4R Guide: Remove, Replace, Rebalance & Reset


Remove & Replace
During the gut reset period, focus on removing unhealthy sugars and fats from your diet. These include:
• Refined carbohydrates, such as table sugar, ice cream, pastry and cake.
• Food high in saturated fat and trans-fat, such as processed meat.

Instead, replace refined carbohydrates with a combination of complex carbohydrates, probiotics and
high fibre foods that are rich with prebiotics to reset and balance the gut microbiome.

Try to eat moderate portions of complex carbohydrates as they provide slow-burning energy throughout
the day. Some examples of complex carbohydrates are brown rice, oats, quinoa or sweet potatoes.
Also, bear in mind that good hydration is very important during the gut reset period, as you are increasing
your fibre consumption.

As for fatty foods – it’s important to understand that not all fats are equal. The type of fats you eat affects
your gut health, so it’s important to increase the good fats in your diet. These include:
1. Monounsaturated fats:
• Olive, peanut, and canola oils SMART TIPS:
• Avocados
The recommended daily intake of fibre
• Nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans
is 20g-30g. Most fruits and vegetables
• Seeds such as pumpkin and sesame seeds
are high in fibre. Thus, adding the
2. Polyunsaturated fats:

• Sunflower, corn, soybean, and flaxseed oils

• Flax seeds
many calories!

These good fats reduce gut inflammation and improve mucosa production, which help to protect your
gut lining, allowing nutrients to be absorbed and the gut microbiome to live. Research also shows that
Omega-3 fatty acids correlate with gut microbiome diversity.

18
Rebalance & Reset
Besides adding probiotics and prebiotics to rebalance your gut microbiome, it is also important
to include more functional foods in your meal plan.
Functional foods provide health benefits to the body beyond basic nutrition. Certain functional
foods are high in phytochemicals, particularly polyphenols that can favourably modify and
rebalance the microbiome composition. This increases the proportion of beneficial bacteria and
stops potential disease-causing microorganisms from colonising the gut.
Besides, studies also shows that soy protein, which contains isoflavones, can serve as nitrogen
and energy sources for good bacteria, which support their growth and maintenance in the gut.
Adding naturally fermented food may help strengthen your gut microbiome too!
You may also include different functional foods into your meal plan to target different health
benefits, i.e., managing blood pressure, blood glucose or cholesterol level. Refer to page 20 for
the list of functional foods that support specific health needs.

Programme Expectations
It is known for a fact that our dietary habits have an impact on our gut health. A healthy gut is the key to
staying fit as it is directly or indirectly relevant to various vital functions in our body.
Besides managing weight, this programme is also designed to:

• Improve overall health


• Support a healthy gut
• Improve the appearance of skin
• Help build healthy lifestyle habits
• Support positive mood
• Improve the quality of sleep
• Help in fat loss
• Manage metabolic parameters, i.e., blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels

You might experience these symptoms during the 14 days gut reset programme
Some individuals might experience a temporary worsening of symptoms during the gut reset programme
before seeing an improvement. This is normal and an expected part of the healing process as we are
removing processed foods, sugars, and highly inflammable foods from your diet.

Our bodies have learned to run and depend on these foods for “a quick fix” of energy. As such, the body
has not built up the strength and ability to produce its own healthy serotonin and energy.

This is just a temporary setback that the body needs to get over so that it can start to do what it does best
- rebuild healthy cells, get rid of bad bacteria and feed the gut with good bacteria from all sorts of yummy
food such as whole foods, smoothies, healthy bowls, grains, fats and fibre!

Everyone’s body reacts differently, so you may not experience the same symptoms as others in the
programme. Most symptoms are flu-like or a continuation of the digestive issues you had before, they
may include:
• Body ache
• Gas and bloating
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Skin irritations
• Nausea
• Diarrhea

There is no specific duration for how long the symptoms will last. Most symptoms are reduced or
completely gone within 2-3 days from the start date. It is rare, but some people have experienced
symptoms for up to a week or more. If this happens, be sure to consult a healthcare professional. Please
also ensure that you are staying hydrated and getting sufficient sleep throughout the programme.

21
Hydration
Hydration is also very important for our gut health. The human body is made up of a large
percentage of water and being hydrated is important for many processes to occur such as:
• Proper blood circulation that carries oxygen and nutrients to our cells
• Waste product removal by the kidneys

Generally, you should consume at least 2 litres of water per day. Start your day with at least one
full glass of warm water before you consume any food to promote hydration and jumpstart your
digestive pathways.
To ensure that you are well hydrated throughout the day, you may follow the drinking schedule
below:

TIME WATER INTAKE YES (/) / NO (X)


Day 1 Day 2
7.00am 1st glass
Wake up - Drink your first glass of water after you wake up to
hydrate your body after a long night’s sleep.
9.00am 2nd glass
- Have another glass about an hour after breakfast to
start your workday.
11.30am 3rd glass
- Have a glass of water 30 minutes before lunch.

1.30pm 4th glass


- Drinking a glass of water an hour after lunch aids in
digestion and promote better absorption of nutrients.
3.00pm 5th glass
- Have another glass of water to help you stay hydrated.

5.00pm 6th glass


- Have a glass of water about an hour before dinner to
keep you satiated and prevent overeating during dinner.
8.00pm 7th glass
- Have a glass of water an hour after dinner.

10.00pm 8th glass


- Drink the last glass of water an hour before bedtime to
help cell repair overnight.
Note: The schedule may differ depending on your daily commitments.

22
Physical Activity
When you exercise, your body produces endorphins, which help to improve your
mood. Regular physical exercise also helps improve posture, manage weight,
relieve stress and even improve mental performance.
If you are already physically active and enjoy exercising, carry on and ensure it’s done regularly.

If you’re not used to exercising regularly, here are some tips to help you get
started.

GETTING STARTED
1. Start with simple exercises such as walking or cycling.
2. Walking is effective, easy and low risk. It requires no special equipment, except
comfortable footwear. Try to set aside at least 30 minutes a day for walking. You can start
with 10 minutes and set a goal to increase +5 minutes every day.
3. Use every opportunity to be more active. Use the stairs instead of the lift, walk short
distances instead of driving, or park your car in a place that provides a nice walk to your
destination.

23

& Community Involvement
Positive thinking is the key to unlocking your wellbeing, the success of your 14-Day Healthy Gut

Before you start:
It is strongly recommended to perform a body composition test before you begin your Phase 1 and Phase
2 journey to know about your initial body weight status. Perform the test again after completing the Phase
2 weight management journey to know the changes in your body weight status. You may also perform
the test regularly along the weight management journey to track your progression.

Here is several key information you need to know about your body weight status!

1. Body Mass Index (BMI)


This is the most established and widely used measurement defined as:

𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 (𝐤𝐠)
BMI =
𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐱 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 (𝐦𝟐 )

Source: WHO Asian BMI Classification

Aim to remain healthy BMI of 18.5-22.9 kg/m².

2. Body Composition
Body composition describing what the body is made of that is fat, protein, minerals, and water. It
describes body weight more accurately than BMI and gives a better picture of your overall health. Use the
body composition scale to know your body fat percentage.

Suggested Body Fat Percentage %

Female 18- 28%

Male 10- 20%

Source: Inbody USA

36
3. Waist Circumference & Waist to Hip Ratio
Abdominal obesity (also known as central or visceral obesity) is defined as excess deposits of fat
in the abdominal region. It is positively related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Abdominal Obesity
Waist Circumference Waist to Hip Ratio

Female >80cm (32 inches) > 0.85

Male >90cm (35 inches) > 1.0

Source: World Health Organization

Your waist circumference and waist to hip ratio should below the recommended cut off point.

Waist to Hip Ratio


Waist circumference divided by the hip circumference

Example:

Waist circumference : 75cm


Hip circumference : 90cm

Your waist-hip ratio : 0.83

Weigh and measure yourself regularly.


• Weigh yourself in light clothing and without shoes using the same weighing scale at least
once a week, preferably before breakfast.
• Measure waist circumference using a measuring tape, at least once a month.

37
Principle of Weight Management: Energy Balance
Your energy balance is the balance of calories consumed through eating and drinking compared
to calories burned through physical activity. What you eat and drink is ENERGY IN. What you burn
through physical activity is ENERGY OUT. Energy is measured in calories.

Calorie IN & Calorie OUT Determine Your Weight

< >
1000 kcal /day
1500 kcal /day Energy Out
2000 kcal /day 2000 kcal /day
Energy In Energy Out Energy In 2500 kcal /day
2000 kcal /day Energy In
Energy Out

Energy from food = Energy from food < Energy from food >
Energy used by the body Energy used by the body Energy used by the body

Weight Maintenance Weight Loss Weight Gain

Proper nutrition (eating a well-balanced diet) and daily physical activity are key components of any
effective weight management program.

At its core, weight loss occurs only through a negative energy balance or caloric deficit, which is produced
when we used or burn more calories than we take in.

The most effective way of creating this caloric deficit is through a combination of diet (restricting caloric
intake) and exercise (increasing caloric expenditure).

In essence: CALORIES CONSUMED < CALORIES BURNED = WEIGHT LOSS

38
Increase Your Calories Burned by Increase You Protein Intake
We get our calories from food. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are the main macronutrients that
provide you energy in the form of calories that are needed to maintain your body’s functions and structure.
Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9
calories per gram.

For weight loss, limit calories intake from high fat and high-carb foods. Meanwhile, you might benefit by
adding more protein in your diet as protein potentially playing a role in successful weight loss. Adding
more protein to your diet may promote feeling of fullness, prevent muscle loss and protein has the
highest thermic effect, meaning it takes more calories to digest compared to carbohydrate or fats.

Why the Increase in Protein?


Protein burns more calories compared to Fat and Carbs

Protein Burns 30-40% of calories

Carbohydrates Burns 5-6% of calories

Fat Burns 4-5% of calories

How Much Protein You Need?

Slowly increase your protein intake by replacing


processed foods or excessive carbohydrates or
fats with protein-rich foods.
Look for lean animal-based sources of protein
like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy. You can
also get your protein from plant-based
sources like soy and legumes. Protein powder
are also a good option to increase protein
intake.

39
Goal Setting

Setting Realistic or Practical Goals


Having a clear vision of your weight loss goals is critical to your success. Unfortunately, many people give
up on their weight loss goals because they expect fast results that do not take effort, time, and
perseverance. As more effort is required, it can leave you feeling too overwhelmed to do anything at all.
You can overcome this feeling of paralysis by analysis by setting realistic, achievable goals that push you
out of your comfort zone.

Example of realistic and achievable goal:

Even a modest weight loss of 5 to 10 percent of your total body weight is


likely to produce health benefits, such as improvement in blood
pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Healthy Eating Habits
Mindful eating is a technique that helps you better manage your eating habits. Mindful eating involves
paying closer attention to your food and how it makes you feel. It helps you learn to distinguish between
physical and emotional hunger, it also has been shown to reduce disordered eating behaviours, support
weight loss, and help you feel better.

Mindful eating
• Eat slowly. Chew 20-30 times before swallow.
• Eat at regular time.
• Eat with no distractions.
• Listen to true hunger cues.
• Stop eating when you are full.
• Postpone desire of emotional eating and avoid food temptation.
• Make healthier snacks choice.
• Avoid eat snacks straight from the bag.
• Avoid having late dinners or heavy supper.

42
Physical Activity
Aerobic and Strength Training Exercise
BodyKey recommended exercise plans are synchronised to your fitness level and long-term weight-loss
goals. There is strong scientific evidence that shows getting the right amount of structured activity
supports your effort to both lose weight and maintain the weight loss. Physical activity also increases
energy expenditure and has a positive impact on stress, sleep, and mood.

How much activity do I need?


The latest WHO recommendation advocates for adults to engage at least 30 minutes of moderate to
vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity, on at least five days a week for substantial health benefits.
You can spread your activity out during the week and break it up into smaller chunks of time.

Muscle strengthening activities involving major muscle groups should be done on at least two days a
week to helps increase muscle mass.

COMBINATION OF EXERCISE FOR WEIGHT LOSS
