Carbohydrates Naturally Come With Their Own Instruction Manual

Fiber slows the absorption of sugar in our gut. It also orchestrates the fundamental biology that recent blockbuster weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic tap into, but in a natural way. Our microbiome tranforms fiber into signals that stimulate the gut hormones that are the natural forms of these drugs. These in turn regulate how rapidly our stomach empties, how tightly our blood sugar levels are controlled and even how hungry we feel.

It’s as if unprocessed carbohydrates naturally come wrapped and packaged with their own instruction manual for our body on how to digest them.
