Not exactly true. For less obvious reasons.

Fun experiment.
Replace most of your fat intake with olive oil. Now 5X the amount of that olive oil. After a month tell me if you have gained excess weight or lost excess weight.
Then try the same with Macadamia nuts / macadamia nut oil (without the 5X boost even) and see if you get past a week without completely blowing out.
Your foundation is your microbiome. Build that first and everything else will fall into place. Eat for them, not for yourself. They will give you everything you need once they have what they need.
