    Bit of a long read but interesting, I thought - The article is to do with bacteria in the gut that have both health promoting and toxic properties

    http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/diet-and-fitness/could-obesity-be-a-gut-reaction-20120905-25f1n.html

    Would be good to see the further study they do.

    Very interesting. Obviously I'm not eating enough as I could theoretically get to 47kg in 180days by eating at the level I am now. 47kg is NOT realistic (I'm 178cm tall with body fat ~18%!). A warning did pop up saying this was DANGEROUS. Now how to add a further 1000cal into diet without eating junkfood - Any ideas (feel free to check out my diary)
    I do struggle to get to 1500cal but this model says I need 2500 - I'm sure I never ate that many even when I was a bit heavier eating junk food.
