The Clever Guts Diet: How to revolutionise your body from the inside out
Your guts have an astonishing degree of control over your mood, hunger and general health. Clever Guts is a book that celebrates this hugely under-rated organ and shows you what you need to do to keep it in prime condition.
Bestselling author Dr Michael Mosley reveals the latest research into the workings of the microbiome – the kilogram of alien bacteria that live in your gut – and takes a look at exactly what happens inside your stomach and intestines as you go about your daily life. He demonstrates how your gut communicates with your body and mind, why your biome affects your weight, your health, even your happiness.
With his renowned aptitude for self-experimentation, Dr Mosley also delves into the science of his own digestive system; he trials a range of diets to ascertain their effects on body shape and blood sugar, and looks at the effects of prebiotics, probiotics and antibiotics.
Filled with case studies, menu plans and practical advice for optimising your biome, Clever Guts will change how you see your body forever.

Michael Mosley
256 books307 followersMichael Mosley was a British television journalist, producer, and presenter who worked for the BBC (amongst other broadcasters) from 1985 until his death in 2024. He was probably best known as a presenter of television documentaries on biology and medicine, and his regular appearances on The One Show.
Born in Kolkata, India, the son of a bank director, Mosley studied philosophy, politics and economics at New College, Oxford, before working for two years as a banker in the City of London. He then decided to move into medicine, intending to become a psychiatrist, studying at the Royal Free Hospital Medical School (now part of UCL Medical School).
Becoming disillusioned by psychiatry, upon graduation Mosley joined a trainee assistant producer scheme at the BBC in 1985. Since then he produced and presented many documentaries on science and/or medicine. He was an advocate of intermittent fasting and low-carbohydrate diets who wrote books promoting the ketogenic diet.
Mosley died on the Greek island of Symi on 5 June 2024.

A good summary of what we know about gut health and a great collection of simple recipes. I was surprised to learn that the microbes in our gut don't just help regulate weight, they influence how much food is extracted from what we eat, control hunger signals, regulates our immune system, influence our cravings and even influence our mood.
A few notes:
- avoid drinking your calories (juice, beers etc)
- cut back on readily absorbed carbs to avoid insulin spikes (bread, potatoes, rice)
- eat slowly at a table and pause after the main course to allow hunger hormones (PPY the appetite suppressant) to kick in
- branch out and get as much diversity in your diet as possible. 75% of the world's food comes from just 12 plants and 5 animal species! The more different plants you eat the more diverse your microbiome.
- avoid antibiotics where possible and avoid eating animals raised with antibiotics. It can take months to years for your microbial community to bounce back.
- open a window to increase the diversity of microbes in your house
- Great foods for your gut: olive oil, oily fish, seaweed, cocoa, turmeric, garlic, shallots, leeks, white onions, eggplant, Jerusalem artichoke, asparagus, barley, flax seeds, yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar.
- Foods to avoid: sugar and anything processed with emulsifiers, trans fats, artificial sweeteners
- get better sleep and meditate

Interesting and informative read but nothing really earth shattering.
Eat more fruit and vegetables and exercise is the key to good health. The end, LOL.

If it weren't for the two small children that dictate my life, I'd have never put this book down. It's an entertaining, as well as informative, read written in language that is easy to understand but still thought-provoking. It is such a fascinating subject-matter that we are still only on the cusp of fully understanding. Dr Mosley navigates the facts, fiction and educated supposition of the field quite well. At times the anecdotal evidence is overwhelming, but in a field yet so devoid of exploration, it's largely all we have and I find this book informed and reasoned as opposed to the quackery a lot of books in this genre can be. It is for this reason that I put a lot of prior research into which book on the subject to purchase and read, as my time and money need to be used well these days. There are general guidelines provided for those who just want to tweak their lifestyle and/or do it in their own way, and there is total handholding with a meal plan and recipes for those who like that approach. I'm not going to lie, as someone who needs a major dietary and lifestyle overhaul, some of the recipes are a little alien-sounding, but not all, I'm glad to say. This book personally speaks volumes to me as my family battles complicated autoimmune conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, and reading the book is like finding the final piece of the puzzle of self-management. But I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I think it speaks to a lot of the modern problems that plague us and seems a real answer as opposed to a lot of the theories out there with regards to society's health decline. This book is far from a conspiracy-reinforcer that often puts me off a lot of books and blogs out there on nutrition and health.
The reason I haven't afforded it 5 stars is largely due to editing issues which are something I detest of published books at the best of times but particularly in non-fiction. There is also some strange formatting with regards to the pictures of the recipes in the Australian Kindle version I read, but that's nothing major. I also sometimes find the examples used a bit thin/superficial even for an "entertaining" non-fiction book, such as references to Rebel Wilson's diet. I also wasn't a fan of the politicised comment regarding ISIS. It just didn't need to be used in a diet book.
Finally, a word of caution to mothers; this book talks about the benefits of vaginal birth and breastfeeding and the evils of c-sections and antibiotic use in labour and infancy. It's not worded in a heavy way, but it is pretty emphatic that vaginal and breast are best. It's backed-up with studies and isn't incorrect, but I would have preferred a stronger caveat that sometimes intervention is best. I know first-hand that there's already a lot of judgement and guilt placed on mother's, most of all by ourselves, and that many desperate women out there are all too quick to blame themselves for anything that causes our children to be less than perfect. If you are looking for answers for illness in your children, read this book but be aware that many of the interventions experienced in birth/child-raising, are beyond our control and usually used because they minimise risk of negative outcomes. For instance, better our child is safe from life-threatening infection than not, even if that means they have eczema/asthma/ASD. This book may just help us in better managing our family's health, but don't use it to beat yourself up (and certainly the book isn't written in that tone, I just wish to forewarn).
All-in-all, this is a fantastic book that I would recommend everyone read. I'm genuinely excited about this new field and can't wait to see what unfolds from the research. I hope Dr Mosley updates this book as new discoveries are made.

Very interesting and informative read. There's a lot to take in and I feel I need to go back and read some of it again. I would like confirmation from professionals in the field as to whether they agree with the contents of not as I felt that some of the advice was based on anecdotal evidence or studies that did not involved enough subjects to be scientifically representative.
I was quite irritated with the section on babies born by Caesarean being proclaimed inferior health-wise to those born vaginally - more likely to be obese and develop allergies in later life. The media seems to enjoy placing guilt trips on mothers who did not give birth 'naturally' while overlooking that many of these mothers would have died in the not too dim distance past if Caesareans were not an option.

My View:
I am a big fan of Dr Michael Mosley. I like him, I like his style of reporting and documenting science based health information which is presented in clear, easy to read language and is backed by Dr Mosley’s personal scientific experimentation, research and the research of others.
Gut based health is something that I (and my immediate family) are very aware of and very interested in. There is still so much to learn about the gut and its microbiome – this book is an excellent starting point, a useful reference and the recipes are easy to follow and taste delicious. Learn about resistant starches (not all starches are created equal), probiotics, prebiotics, fermented foods and how to re boot your biome and so much more. Gut health is so important to your overall health. Change your gut biome – one delicious meal at a time, change your health.

Якщо чесно, то не думала, що книжка про кишківник і бактерії, які живуть в ньому буде такою цікавою. Книжка повна посилань на дослідження різних інститутів, що доводять, що справді, ми- те, що ми їмо. Особисто мене книга надихнула спробувати змінити раціон, але я тільки на початку шляху і про результати, можливо, розповім пізніше.

Загалом, цінні перші 50 сторінок книжки. Далі можете не читати.

Це була одна з найлегших та найпрактичніших книжок про здоров'я. Дуже неперевантажена науковими фактами мова, водночас багато порад на кожен день, які на них грунтуються. Але основний висновок цієї книжки для мене - не знаю, як сталося, що я почав отримувати задоволення від книжок про здоровий кишківник, але це напевно приходить з віком. Головне буде зупинитись, коли я зловлю себе, що купую відривний календар з порадами народної медицини.

Some very interesting information, some would say shocking. I didn't know that inside of your digestive track little terrorist bacteria wait until they have the numbers and then hold you to ransom; forcing you to indulge in sugars and carbs!? Hell no, I certainly do not negotiate with terrorists - good bye sugar and starchy/carby foods.
Worth reading - even if just to add to your research in maintaining a healthy mind and body.

Definitely an eye opener and worth the read!!! Not another diet book but a book about how our daily eating and taking antibiotics affects our gut microbiome and our overall health in so many ways.

Not a diet book or a fad book but a really useful and interesting account of the complex eco-system that is our gut, supported by decent science. So much of our mental life revolves around our alimentary canal in all its features, yet we understand it no better than we understand the depths of the oceons and in our ignorance, we not only fail to act in ways that help that hidden ecosystem but also fail to appreciate why this is a matter of our survival. At the moment when we hear that over 50% of food eaten in Britain is manufactured and processed by the food industry, it is sobering to be told that that industry is actively wrecking our guts in ways that are deeply harmful. When the adverts proclaim a new health food, the evidence is that it is usually not healthy. The book explains what is happening in sensible, well reasoned and easily readable terms and how we can recover our health by eating differently and intelligently.

An insightful book on gut health, with some handy recipes at the back. For me, it's nothing groundbreaking as I've read quite a bit on this topic already, but I enjoyed trying some of the recipes like pumpkin porridge, and its encouraged me to bring fermented foods like kefir into my diet.

January 14, 2022Z jednej strony brak precyzji przy tym gdzie wartałoby ją dodać, a z drugiej aż za duża precyzja, w miejscach, w której chyba nikt jej nie oczekuje...
- omawianie wyników badań na szczurach bez podania stężenia podawanej substancji na kg masy ciała... brak chociaż kilku porównań proporcji dla "szczura" a dla człowieka, a przecież takie porównania często wykluczają wiele błędnych wniosków, bo to ze w teorii przyjecie jednorazowo przez człowieka jakiejś tam substancji zawartej w danym produkcie powoduje skutki uboczne nie bierze pod uwagę tego, ze np. fizycznie niemożliwym jest aby człowiek na raz tyle wypił / zjadł itd.
- opisywanie ogórka na sałatkę grecką: ½ średniego ogórka bez pestek, pokrojonego na 1cm plasterki xD
ale tak generalnie spoko 🤷🏼♀️

An unexpectedly Lovecraftian body horror, including descriptions of "vaginal seeding," swallowing tapeworm cysts cut from the tongue of a dead cow, and a menagerie of "old friends," the numerous species of microbe that have evolved to live inside us. Beyond these fun bits, the book amounts to a selection of sensible advice and recipes to sort your stomach aches.

Not comprehensive, but not designed to be. A very interesting overview of gut health - likely to be huge in medical advances in the next decade

Again another informative book about ways to improve the health and diversity of your gut flora. I won't be following the diet but am going to be introducing more fermented foods and wholegrain into my life (and trying to stay away from processed food).

I've loved every Dr. Mosley book I've read. I'm truly sad he passed away so young. He gave us so much in these books. Not only did I learn so much but his writing is very inspiring.

Michael Mosley is a British television journalist, producer and presenter, working with the BBC. He's famous for all sorts of health-related shows including 'Trust me, I'm a doctor' and 'Eat, fast, and live longer'. In 2017 Michael Mosley released 'The Clever Guts Diet' book about gut health.
In this book, Michael Mosley describes the gut system and the inter-related part of the enteric nervous system, and the make up of the biome of the intestines. The explanation given is that certain foods have certain effects on the the gut biome, which can and does have feedback loops. That each person can and does have different responses to different foods. What is good for one person, isn't necessarily for the next person, and that there is an Israeli team setting up testing so that advice can be specialised for the individual.
His end conclusion is that we are better off eating the Mediterranean diet with lots of carotenoids, flavonoids, resistant starches, and fibres, and having intermittent hunger periods to promote the population of Akkermansia species in our guts.
It is a relatively small book read fairly fast. How much of the data in this book is cherry picked? A good question I am unable to answer.

I love Michael Mosley. I think he's an absolute credit to his profession, and I love the way he goes above and beyond to prove/disprove theories just to help others, as well as himself.
This book didn't disappoint. It's a journey into your microbiome which is in your gut. It contains information on how to 'change' it, or make it more diverse. We are learning all the time in the science field that the gut could be the route of a lot of problems - including such things as depression and anxiety. It's a fascinating area and Dr. Mosley does a fantastic job at explaining it. He's not patronising, but at the same time he doesn't shy away from medical/scientific language. He explains everything very well and in the right amount of details. I also really liked that he says he can't shy away from chocolate no matter how much he tries - chocolate is my downfall too, made me feel a bit better about myself!
Who would I recommend this book to? Anyone that's interested in their microbiome or altering their diet to make their gut healthier, and possibly losing weight and making yourself more 'happy' in the process. Anyone that's interested in different diets as well - there's a good few recipes at the back of the book that are gut-friendly. I'd also recommend it to anyone that's enjoyed any of Michael Mosley's programmes on television - he's very much the same in the book. Very enjoyable and enlightening to read.

Good intro to the microbiome with a very approachable writing style and links to interesting studies and initiatives. I'm now keen to follow some references up and read more around the area, specifically more scientific materials. I appreciate that recipes and eating plans are included for those wanting to change their diet but personally found it an unnecessary addition and meant the book was half the length I originally expected.

Great book
Really good and very informative. Great recipes and there are meal plans to follow. The reason I haven't given 5 stars is in one part of the book it says to cut out veg like broccoli in phase 1 and then the meal plans in Phase 1 are full of broccoli?? I don't know whether to include them or not?

We have several people in the family with digestive issues - from IBS to reflux problems -so I am always interested in the latest research that will help me to understand. The Clever Gut Diet focuses on the complex world of the intestines and the bacteria needed there for healthy living. Called the biome, this environment is strongly influenced by what you eat and by the amount of sleep and exercise you get.
Mosley has written an interesting and informative book on the various gut flora and how to bring your body into a balance that allows you to profit from the food you eat. Also included are many recipes designed to bring your system into better harmony.
The short course? Restrict refined sugar as much as possible, and abandon processed foods. Try fasting (600-800 calories of healthy food) 2 days a week to encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Yes, Scott, you could have written this book!😊

De auteur probeert zijn standpunten voornamelijk te beargumenteren door uit eigen ondervinding te spreken. Hij vertelt veel anekdotes om zijn standpunten te versterken. Veel uitspraken zijn nogal kort door de bocht. Er wordt vaak aangehaald dat je van bepaalde voedingsmiddelen obees wordt of diabetes type 2 krijgt. Spreekt graag expliciet over ontlasting en diarree.
De auteur beweert ook dat verzadigd vet niet per se nefaster voor de gezondheid is dan onverzadigd vet. Wat de wetenschap enorm tegenspreekt.
Het dieet dat hij bespreekt op het einde van het boek is een softe versie van het FODMAP dieet. Mensen met PDS zijn dus niet meteen geholpen met deze adviezen.
Periodiek vasten wordt ook enorm geprezen in dit boek. Vooral dan de versie waarbij je 2 dagen slechts 600-800 kcal eet en dan 5 dagen normaal. Tijdens die 5 dagen raadt de auteur het mediterraans dieet aan.
In de recepten wordt er rijkelijk gebruik gemaakt van kokosolie en - melk, maar in het boek bespreekt hij nergens waarom hij deze keuze maakt en wat het effect op je microbioom is.
Besluit: weinig geloofwaardigheid over de grote lijn, maar heb zeker wat bijgeleerd over de complexiteit van het microbioom en de gezondheidsvoordelen van gefermenteerd voedsel.

First of all, this isn't a traditional diet book aimed to help you lose weight (and if you catch me with one of those, feel free to tell me off- I am banned from diets for health reasons). Instead, it focuses on why and how to improve you gut microbiome. I've gathered a lot of useful information from reading this, much of which I want to -or have already- put into practice.
I'm considering picking up a physical copy of the book, as it is quite information dense, so would be nice to have as reference.

Interessant boek. Alle feiten die de auteur/arts aanhaalt zijn wetenschappelijk onderzocht. Wat nieuws geleerd maar meestal nog eens bevestiging van wat de laatste jaren wordt gemeld rond gezonde voeding. Wel nieuwe inzichten dat onze darmen toch een belangrijke invloed hebben op onze gezondheid, op bepaalde ziekte en op zwaarlijvigheid. Door wat je eet kan je invloed uitoefenen op de darmflora en deze veel gezonder maken .

The thing that grabbed my attention when I first saw this book mentioned on the blog Booker Talk was the promise that it would cut sugar cravings. My sweet tooth has plagued me my whole life.
Mosley explains why our "modern guts" are out of whack and what we can do to reset them. It all sounded so reasonable that two-thirds of the way through the book, I returned my library copy and ordered both the book AND the cookbook from Amazon.
There is now the need to reread, and to get my husband on board. Once I do, I may rate this even higher.
