Other
strategies for supporting the microbiome include the intake of prebiotics, a form of
dietary fiber that acts as fertilizer for good bacteria and probiotics, live active bacteria that can assist in restoring the balance of
beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract (particularly in fertile environments).
There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that this eating
strategy works for some people, but according to a number of scientific studies, the frequency of meals has absolutely no effect on fat loss [1, 2], but does have
beneficial metabolic effects on
dietary thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity [3](in other words, it helps regulate your blood sugar levels, which in turn can help keep your appetite under control).
