Intermittent fasting and slow metabolism

Intermittent fasting works. It's also a really good way to enter into ketosis, if you make your IF meals low carb.

It's the only thing that's allowed me to shed almost 10kg.

As for metabolism, that is a meme. You should focus more on your gut bacteria, which influence the metabolism. Your gut bacteria, depending on how efficient they are at absorbing food, can affect your weight.

Yeah but I'm afraid of getting diabetes because of it, I've read that it spikes your sugar and am really afraid.
>You should focus more on your gut bacteria
What is a good source about it considering how pseudoscience most google results are?

>>38730009
Do it, it really works lost 15kg in about 2 months, but dont do it forever because it can fuck up your body on the long run

>fuck up your body on the long run
Why?

>>38730251

i take transcripted medicine because of fucked metabolism. Its runs in my mothers family

Man, it might be pseudoscience after all!

Just found this
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26474235

>In both humans and animals there are characteristic changes in the gut microbiota associated with obesity. In animals but not in humans altering the microbiota can result in weight loss and weight gain which does not occur in humans. This suggests that in humans the changes in gut microbiota are an association with rather than the cause of obesity.

Damn, rip my argument.

Metabolism is important, but it affecting your weight is a meme. It doesn't matter if you have a fast or slow metabolism. You still gain the same amount of weight, right?

>>38730299
for example the hunger feeling is really fucked up after doing IF for a long time, now that I have switched to normal eating

>>38730339
I never said that gut bacteria is pseudoscience. Just requested a source so I can read about it properly instead of just googling it and getting some watered down info.

>I never said that gut bacteria is pseudoscience.

Yeah, but I'm saying it might be. Well, it might at least be more hyped than I thought.

Anyway, here's a paper suggesting it might be worthwhile research:

http://www.nature.com/ajgsup/journal/v1/n1/full/ajgsup20125a.html

And a Scientific American article (they're considered pretty good, right?):

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-gut-bacteria-help-make-us-fat-and-thin/

Anyone else?
