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.
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.

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.

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.
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

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.

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:
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:
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.

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.

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).
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.
