Having low levels of Prevotella bacteria in stools prevents weight loss, regardless of whether you are consuming fruits and vegetables or junk foods. Prevotella is associated with plant-based diets- rich in fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, seeds, nuts, beans and lentils with little or no animal products.
However change in bacteria will not be effective immediately, Prevotella may aid weight loss by influencing fat storage and how people respond to hunger hormones. Eating more fruits, vegetables, fibres and whole grains may be effective for weight loss in some people but not every body will benefit from this.
Researchers analysed some people with an increased waist circumference over six months, some of the participants ate a diet rich in whole grains and fibre, the rest consumed red meat and confectionery.
The results reveal that eating foods rich in fibre causes weight loss, participants with high levels of the strain of Prevotella bacteria lost more weight. Those with lower amounts of Prevotella did not lose weight after eating high amounts of whole grains and fibre.
Prevotella is associated with plant-based diets made up of fruits, nuts vegetables, whole grain, pulses and seeds, with little or no animal products.
It can take a long time of adopting a particular diet before gut bacteria levels adapt to the change. Regular physical activity can work for those that have less Prevotella bacteria.
