Obesity has been an on going issue for most Americans and it is frustrating for a lot of people who are in this dilemma to simply just lose weight without having to check everything that they are eating. But sometimes, it's not about what people eat that can make them lose weight; it is something that is already inside their belly.

According to an article published by CBC, there is hope for those who are trying to lose all the fat in their body and apparently some bacteria living in our guts hold the answer.

There will also be a documentary about this research on CBC TV and it is called "It Takes Guts" as part of an episode of The Nature of Things. People will be able to find out the link between inner microbes and a person's diet and weight. The show is directed by Leora Elson and she will be working with Anna Maria via the network's studio in Toronto.

Meanwhile, Discovery.com seems to agree with this kind of finding that researchers have found out about the topic of losing weight and some microbes inside. In their article, they called it intestinal worms and it is probably not a good thing to hear when you're about to eat, which by the way also contributes to one's loss in appetite. But based on what they found out, these gut bacteria has a lot to do when it comes to speeding up the metabolism.

​What one has to learn now is how to deal with these bacteria and the things that they are supposed to learn in order to keep these bacteria alive. To know more about it, watching the said documentary would definitely give out more information about the topic.
