Consuming microbiome capsules made from feces collected during dieting may limit that post-diet weight regain, according to a published study in Gastroenterology. The participants were placed into three groups that followed a specific diet plan during a six-month weight loss phase of the study. The diet groups included: a healthy diet, a Mediterranean diet or a green-Mediterranean diet plan. The green-Mediterrean diet group was the only group that the fecal transplant reduced waist circumference gain. The authors also said the green- Mediterranean diet transplant group had better glycemic control.
