Nonono there is so much wrong here.

Sample size: 20 people. (Okay what? Are you even trying guys? Releasing something about the the human metabolism with a sample size of 20? Shame on you!) Concluding a weight gain because Ghrelin levels are raised? What? Do you even science? Ghrelin in the first place only tells your brain to look for more food because it signals an empty stomach.

Studies on Nutrition don't get me started...

Oh please. It's hard to attract funding for studies, it's perfectly reasonable tos tart with a small sample and tehn ask for funding to do a larger study once you have a working hypothesis.
That doesn't mean it makes sense to make dietary decisions based on these studies.
