This is a very interesting article about yo-yo dieting and some ideas about what to do about it based on the research.

It's by Tim Spector who is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College, London.

It appears in The Conversation and Quillette.

Yes, the more research into this 'organ' the more important we realise the part played by gut bacteria. I've been saying this for years.

There's also a link to type 2 diabetes and unhealthy gut bacteria.
