So do we know yet what sort of diet cultivates a microflora biome that encourages healthy weight loss? I'm asking for a friend... It's easy to find diets for losing weight in general, but I'm curious if we know enough to create a diet to make a microflora composition that can help the weight loss process along. I keep seeing mentions of the microflora factor influencing weight gain, so I'm assuming there's a way to cultivate it to help with loss as well.

Turnbaugh was also an author on http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7122/abs/nature05414.html http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7122/abs/nature05... (looking at parts of that question on mice) and also on: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21543530 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21543530 (looking at parts of that questions on humans). The answer in humans does not quite match the answer in mice so far. Possible reasons to explain this discrepancy : might be the lack of a large enough group to study, or a local variation in the groups that does not generalize to mice.
