It is unfortunate that the vast majority of people still think that the best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more – i.e. creating a calorie deficit so that you expend more calories than you take in.
While this does work in the short term, the health and diversity of microbiome plays a significant role in whether you will manage to keep off the weight or whether you will put it all back on.
