Study shows microbes in our gut can impact our ability to gain or lose weight

The video discusses the relationship between gut bacteria and weight. It highlights two types of bacteria: Fascolarctobacterium, found in those with more weight, and Dialyster, found in those with less. These bacteria can break down food parts that are usually indigestible, creating extra calories. A study tracked participants on a low-calorie diet and exercise regimen, finding that those who lost at least 5% of their body weight had different gut bacteria compared to those who did not.
