I read the entire article. Nowhere did it indicate she gained weight while consuming less calories than she burned. No matter what (kooky) medical procedure one goes through, it is impossible for someone to gain weight while burning more calories than they consume.
“No matter what (kooky) medical procedure”
Used by mainstream medicine as a cure for c diff
“ it is impossible for someone to gain weight while burning more calories than they consume.”
You assume every calorie is treated identically by the body, regardless of type/source
You assume gut bacteria composition is identical in all humans
Neither is a valid assumption and each affects weight.
