This is very interesting. Not convinced that those are the final mechanisms, but likely are very related to hormonal conditions needed to become or to reverse diabetes.

This is an incredibly important message for people to hear, and making far too simple dietary conclusions is an epidemic in and of itself.

With that being said I would challenge that “total energy consumption” is regulated by a powerful feedback mechanism that can’t be ignored. Meaning, some can reduce their caloric intake to below their theoretical expenditure and you will see them gain fat, reduce their muscle mass and bone density, and exacerbate the problem you describe in your post.

I do believe you have to meet “individuals” where they are hormonally.
