Diets that involve intermittent fasting can help with weight loss — but returning to normal eating habits often means regaining shed pounds. Scientists now have an explanation for this: short-term fasting alters the composition of gut microbes, which, in turn, changes the way the body absorbs fat nature.com Submitted by the_phet t3_zlmdsl on December 14, 2022 at 9:15 AM in science No comments 1

Within the first 24 hours of the changed diet, the animals’ metabolism altered to accommodate the new abundance of fatty acids, and cells lining the intestines began to proliferate at higher rates. by the_phet paper https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(22)01512-1 Permalink 3
