> You can lose 1.36 kg per week on any diet if you restrict calories
This line gets parroted around here constantly (its just thermodynamics! calories in calories out!), yet more evidence continues to be provided that macronutrient balance matters, as does gut bacteria.
EDIT: What if dieting turns out to be as easy as naturally selecting bacteria for the gut that can't break down carbohydrates easily, and selling it as a probiotic pill that replaces you're existing gut bacteria? Wouldn't that be a huge win for public health policy?
And before anyone comes in and says that's not possible, check out this women who became obese from a fecal transplant from an overweight donor:
That pill would be awesome. I would actually be willing to try one of those fecal transplants, if I could find someone who has a very high metabolism. It's a bit of a strange thing to ask someone, though. I have a relative with IBS, and he swore he'd never do it, even if there was a good chance at curing his disease. I guess it grosses out most people, but I don't really care.
