I certainly wouldn’t take any study “published” solely on ResearchGate seriously, especially if it hasn’t been peer reviewed by far more reputable periodicals.

Skimming through it you can tell there are major problems with the study design, data, and conclusions. The data comes from a mix of self-reported and investigator measurements. Should have only been done by the investigators, but some datapoints clearly show signs of bad self-reporting, should not have been used as baseline. Nearly every measurement goes up, highly unlikely to be real biological data. All 14 subjects were friends, never seen that one before in a paper. Finally, extremely weak attempt at explaining a mechanism or explaining their hypothesis for why they explored this in the first place.
