What science says about probiotics and weight loss
Other studies suggest that probiotics can reduce the number of calories that we absorb from food. They also affect hormones and proteins related to appetite and fat storage. Some strains of the Lactobacillus family have been shown to reduce weight and belly fat. However, it’s important to note that some probiotics can make you gain weight instead of losing it, based on other studies.
Focus on good nutrition
- Make sure you follow a proper diet plan based on real food to lose weight and improve the health of your gut.
- Eat at least one serving of oats a day as they are loaded with soluble fiber and help improve your bowel movement
- Load up on fruits and vegetables, at least 5 servings per day.
- Make sure to eat one serving of yogurt daily to get a good dose of probiotics.
In conclusion, although evidence is still needed to prove that probiotics have a direct effect on weight loss, there are many other benefits to taking probiotic supplements besides weight loss. They can improve digestive health and cardiovascular risk factors, reduce inflammation, and even help fight depression and anxiety. Remember, there is no recommended daily intake of probiotics, this is why we recommend adding as many fermented foods as you can to your daily diet.
