Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, secrets of a plastic surgeon.

And it's time for a five-minute Friday. This week,

I'm going to teach you all about inulin. I know those of you who are watching my insis story

have seen me putting this mysterious white powder in my coffee on the weekends and during the week,

and this is inulence. I learned about inulin last year when I went to Monaco to lecture

anulin is a polysaccharide. It consists of fructose monomers. Human beings actually lack the enzymes to

break down the bonds in this molecule. It makes your inulin indigestible and not absorbable

by your small intestine. So it is a fiber. It's a probiotic. It's one of

these molecules that your body takes in. And when you process it, you create this really great

environment for the proper bacteria to populate your small intestine. By slowing down your small

intestine's motility after you eat it, the inulin makes you feel

really satiated.

It means because you feel satisfied and not hungry.

So adding it to black coffee in the morning has been a really awesome way to control appetite

and calorie intake.

I'm doing intermittent fasting, and I know you guys have heard of the idea of taking bulletproof
