I don't understand why the resting metabolism change would be permanent.

Even if it is true, people complain about a lower metabolism like it's a bad thing. Everywhere else we show off efficiency with pride, Hybrids, LED lights, etc, but with metabolism somehow it's bad.

Because your BMR reduces as you lose weight. A person who is 300lbs is going to have a much higher BMR than someome who is 130lbs. Your metabolism decreases because you decrease. Less of you means you use less fuel throughout your day.

I'm aware of that, but they claims it stays lower even if they gain weight back. My guess is that the gut flora changes.
