Q. Can probiotic supplements help me in reducing my weight?
Hello doctor,
I am 29 years old woman with PCOD, and I have a body weight of 187 lbs. I plan to lose weight, and my dietician has suggested I take foods rich in probiotics. To reduce my weight rapidly, I also think of adding probiotic supplements. So, can you tell me some probiotic supplements to help reduce my weight?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I want to know what you are taking as of now so I can suggest other than that. Probiotics alone do not work; they need prebiotics also. Some prebiotics is rice kanji (cooked rice soaked in water overnight in an earthen pot), curd, or buttermilk.
