Yes, it will. There are several recent studies that found that the diet that is effective for an individual is highly variable, and is to to some degree predictable by glucose tolerance test results.

Ideas are always good to share, and success stories can be inspiring. But there is a line that too often gets crossed in discussions about diet.

Genetics matters. The status of one's endocrine system matters [a lot]. Medications matter, far more than anyone wants to talk about. For example it is allergy season, and antihistamine use correlates with a 4 to 10 pound weight gain. So do some common blood pressure meds. Metformin, on the other hand, is associated with weight loss.

And lets not forget fiber intake (or lack of), eating patterns and circadian rhythm disruption. There is a lot in play, and what works for me many not work for anyone else. It might even be counter productive.
