[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope..I am not thin because of my microbes. I am thin because it's important to me..so I eat vegetables and fruits all day long, get my cardio in and get to yoga..[/quote] Did you even read the article? [b]Microbial treatments were as effective AS THE GASTRIC BYPASS.[/b] The microbes affect metabolism and energy expenditure, something you cannot change more than a little bit through exercise. Your gut flora is an enormous component of why you are able to maintain your weight. I get that people want to view themselves as superior because they make certain choices, but consider that other people's bodies don't process sugar/fat/carbs the same way yours does, other people's brains don't react to hunger signals the way yours does, and so on. While one DOES have to make healthy choices to be healthy, it is not the same journey for everyone. I can't understand this. We understand the people's bodies work differently, right? So why should the body's processing of food be considered universal? This is not just an issue of "willpower."[/quote] Will power is a very big part when changing ones lifestyle. I don't like calling it a diet, I call it a lifestyle change and it takes will power to really focus on your goal of changing the way you consume food and exercise.[/quote]
