So I was watching ' the truth about... Obesity' on BBC and they found an interesting concept.
yes, dna plays a role, yes surgery can cut appetite, time of eating also back on the limelight, but one that got me was the identical twins - one is fat one is skinny. The difference being the bacteria in their gut.
This was a 5000 couple study, each time the thinnest had the most diverse bacteria (diet being high fibre ,different types) the other was fat with low fibre diet.
They didn't really elaborate on this ie. how strongly different the diets were or exampes of meal and Im wondering if supplentation can help, and what these microbes actually are so they can be targeted. Maybe someone on here is a gut bacteria specialist?
