are two approaches to weight loss that have become increasingly popular in recent years, and new research suggests they could also contribute to a more diverse gut microbiome.have pointed to links between the bacteria in our gut and our tendency to put on weight. These latest findings give us more clues as to how our inner microbes might be managed to keep our bodies in shape.
"To maintain a stable community and ecosystem, the gut microbiome must regulate its growth rate and diversity in response to nutrient availability and population density," Alex Mohr, a microbiome researcher at Arizona State University, and colleagues A protein-pacing diet involves controlling protein intake at specific meals, while intermittent fasting limits food consumption to certain times on some days.
At the end of eight weeks, stool samples showed those on the IF-P diet had a more diverse selection of microbiota compared to the other group.
