So if we think about the entirety of our diet, you know, grams and grams of food on a daily basis, three pounds of food per day, the makeup of that diet is all coming into contact with our gut microbes and it influences change within them. The microbes rise and fall, families rise and fall based upon the choices that we make.

Well, I think we reinforce those choices. So ultimately, we are not... zombies to our bacterial overlords. It could sound like that sometimes. It could start to sound like that, but ultimately you are a human of free will with the right to choose what ultimately you do put into your mouth. We may have preferences, we may have addiction, but ultimately you still have the choice.

And those choices, when you make a dietary shift, a significant shift, you are now selecting for different microbes that love these choices that you just made. And the microbes that, for example, love sugar or unhealthy fat, they're not getting what they wanted. And so they grow weaker and their representation is less.

And as a result of that, now you start to crave the food that you've been eating.

It depends on, so on some level, it depends on the intensity of the change that you're making, how hard you're going all at once. There was an interesting study that was published in 2014 in the journal Nature, where basically they took a group of people and they did five days of a completely plant-based diet. And then they did five days of a completely animal-based diet.

And then they did five days of a completely animal-based diet.

And they would assess their microbiome on a daily basis. So this study helps us to answer this question because basically what they found is that number one, within 24 hours of making that change, you could already start to see it reflected in the microbiome. When people flipped to a plant-based diet, they started to create these microbes that are known to help us to break down and process fiber.

So, and those are anti-inflammatory bacteria. And many of the ones that were detected in these five days of doing a plant-based diet are the same ones that people pay to consume as a probiotic. So these are beneficial anti-inflammatory microbes. And before I dig into the animal-based diet, let me be the first to say that there are many dietary patterns.

And the argument that I'm making here is not for a 100% whole food plant-based diet. Although I think that for many people, that can be a great dietary choice. But it's more so to say that finding the right balance for each of us. So on this 100% animal-based diet though, during the course of five days, there were some changes that were concerning.
