Your Poo Reveals Whether You Can Lose Weight
The bacteria we all have in our gut may play a decisive role in personalized nutrition and the development of obesity. This is shown by several studies that have delved into the significance of these bacteria.

The ratio between the two groups of intestinal bacteria is crucial
High proportion of Prevotella bacteria lead to weight loss
When the subjects were divided by their level of intestinal bacteria, it was found that people with a high proportion of Prevotella bacteria in relation to Bacteroides bacteria lost 3.5 kg more in 26 weeks when they ate a diet composed by the New Nordic Diet principles compared to those consuming an Average Danish Diet. Subjects with a low proportion of Prevotella bacteria in relation to Bacteroides did not lose any additional weight on the New Nordic Diet (see Figure 1). Overall, approximately 50 percent of the population has a high proportion of Prevotella-bacteria in relation to Bacteroides-bacteria.

The researchers emphasize that they have already confirmed the results in two independent studies, so they are certain that these results are credible.
Personalized weight loss guidance
The results show that biomarkers, e.g. faecal samples, blood samples, or other samples from our body, which says something about our state of health, should play a far greater role in nutritional guidance. Simply because biomarkers allow us to adapt the guidance to the individual.
“This is a major step forward in personalized nutritional guidance. Guidance based on this knowledge of intestinal bacteria will most likely be more effective than the “one size fits all” approach that often characterises dietary recommendations and dietary guidance,” says Assistant Professor Mads Fiil Hjorth.
At present it is primarily research units at universities and other academic institutions that examine the composition of intestinal bacteria, but as an effect of this breakthrough the University of Copenhagen has licensed a company in Boston, USA, to develop and publish a concept based on this research, that will be of benefit to obese people.
About the study
The results of the study have been published in the article ‘Pre-treatment microbial Prevotella-to-Bacteroides ratio, determines body fat loss success during a 6-month randomized controlled diet intervention’ in the International Journal of Obesity, one of the world’s leading obesity journals.

I disturbingly had an image of someone licking my poo-poo and telling me “hmm yes, your excrement is slightly on the salty side, therefore you are indeed a fat person and by the degree of saltiness you can lose 15 tons”.
