We can all agree that eating well is important for our health.
A study by researchers from the University of New South Wales in Australia suggested a diet pattern of 'clean' eating interspersed with 'cheat' meals of junk food could not only lead to weight gain, but affect brain function and gut health in rodents.
Sometimes viewed as a compromise between extremes of healthy and unhealthy eating, the swings in nutrition might come at a cost. Rats who ate poorly for any length of time had a less diverse gut microbiome, with more bacteria linked to obesity and fewer strains of good bacteria linked to weight control. With longer exposure to an unhealthy diet, these changes got worse.
Not surprisingly, the rats who ate a high-fat, high-sugar diet for a long time gained more weight than the rats in the control group. But the length of bad eating cycles didn't seem to affect weight gain directly.
