>My hunch with the CIM is that a human in good health can pretty effortlessly maintain a non-obese weight without much regard for things like macronutrient balance, but that some fairly widespread factor has disrupted that regulation mechanism in a large fraction of the population.

This was studied several times now and they haven't discovered it. Some people assert GI microbiome is broken and there has been success there. Others are asserting that it's glysophate somehow interrupting, that keto avoids the larger concentrations of glysophates in our food.
The one that seems simplest is that 100 years ago we didnt eat carbs unless you were poor. For thousands of years we ate game meats. About 75 years ago the governments of the world were fooled by political activists and they started an experiment on us. I have 73.6 reasons that experiment failed.
