So back to my post what if the benefit of cycling is derived from "feeding your gut micro biome"? Giving the little buggers more fiber and more "safe starches" that is beneficial to a diverse population, health and weight loss? That being VLC all the time reduces good bacteria and some version of cycling re-sets them? I don't have the answer, also looking for the answer, but I certainly hear much more about this angle as a criticism of staying VLC Long-term.
