Recent findings suggest that a unique diet can be more effective for weight loss than committing oneself to cutting calories or working out.
The findings show that several biomarkers in a person's body predict how successful they will be at losing weight and keeping it off, according to an analysis of a 2018 year-long Stanford University study. These biomarkers, or indicators in the body, include signatures from a person's gut microbiome, certain proteins produced in the human body and levels of carbon dioxide they exhale.
