(3/4) Our findings may have significant clinical implications. The march toward higher protein diets as a strategy for weight loss and maintenance following SG is unfounded. Only low protein SG mice enjoyed freedom from weight recurrence, the Achilles’ heel of bariatric surgery.

(2/4) Here we show that a low protein, high carbohydrate diet following SG in mice drives weight loss by increasing energy expenditure through hepatic FGF21, improves glucose handling, and reduces weight recurrence without changing strength or lean mass.

Very cool. I think about this a lot when I have elderly patients or those already with some degree of cognitive impairment
