Question

John is a sedentary 60-year-old male who wants to lose 15 pounds. His usual diet is moderate in protein, some vegetables like potatoes and carrots, and whole grains and cereals. He’s decided that to lose weight, he’ll cut down on carbohydrates in his diet, and increase the protein content. However, John doesn’t want to give up his Starbuck’s caramel latte in the morning, so the coffee and two boiled eggs are his usual breakfast. His favorite lunch is a cheese burger, sans bun, with two slices of tomato and half of a small order of French fries. For dinner, he usually has a chicken breast with a small side salad. John is losing weight, but he’s now experiencing constipation and severe cramping.

Question 1: Analyze John’s current diet and explain how it can affect his GI microbiome and overall GI tract health. Discuss in your answer some dietary components promote the growth of beneficial GI tract bacteria and the benefits these bacteria convey.
