This diet helps lose weight without counting calories - New scientific discovery

Is it possible to lose weight without counting calories

This is where the NiMe diet comes in. Short for Non-industrialized Microbiome Restore, the NiMe diet was recently discovered by scientists trying to understand the difference between the gut microbiome of people who follow a Western diet and those who live in rural areas without access to high-fat, highly processed foods.

When their participants followed the new diet, they didn't consume fewer calories, but they lost weight and reduced their risk of chronic disease.

The researchers presented the NiMe diet in a new study published in the journal Cell. It builds on previous research that has shown that people living in rural Papua New Guinea who eat a non-industrialized/non-Western diet have a more diverse gut microbiome, rich in healthy bacteria that thrive on fiber and low in pro-inflammatory bacteria.

Rules of the NiMe diet

• Plant-based, but not vegetarian: mainly consisting of vegetables, legumes, and other whole foods.
• One small serving of animal protein per day (salmon, chicken, or pork).
• No dairy products, beef or wheat: excluded simply because they are not part of the traditional food consumed by rural Papua New Guineans.
• Very low in processed foods high in sugar and saturated fat.
• Rich in fiber: the fiber content was 22 grams per 1000 calories, which exceeds current dietary recommendations.
