I know there are people that can benefit from that when extreme obesity makes regular, "simple" dieting very challenging and exercise impossible.
tl;dr: fat guy lost a ton of weight by a diet that reduced a specific kind of gut bacteria; this bacteria inserted into mice engineered to be thin caused the mice to gain weight.
