To help investigate the relationship between inflammatory and other diseases and the composition of the gut microbiota, we propose that a positive-feedback loop exists between the preferences of the host for a particular dietary regimen, the composition of the gut microbiota that depends on this regimen, and the preferences of the host as influenced by the gut microbiota. We cite evidence in su...

The influence of preceding diet (mixed, MD; carbohydrate CD; protein PD) on performance during high intensity endurance cycling was examined in six middle distance runners. Subjects undertook cycle ergometer exercise at a workload equivalent to 80% VO2 max until exhaustion following each of the three dietary regimens. Dietary analyses were performed using a computerised evaluation technique and...
