Weight Loss and Probiotics

For several years I have been taking various amounts of probiotics for the benefits.
Recently I started having them at every meal possible. Mostly from food sources like kombucha, sour cream, pickles, kefir...

Last week I decided to invest in some supplements that could be  stored out of the refrigerator so I could have them away from home.

I found Jarrow Brand, Phillips brand, and a Kroger store brand. All with different strains varying amounts. I googled probiotic strains and found some images depicting why each strain matters and it's benefits. Then I googled weight loss and probiotics.

I found one article about a specific strain that can promote weight loss, which is not included in either of the products I bought.

lactobacillus gasseri 

"A Japanese study last year found that a probiotic called lactobacillus gasseri can help you lose weight, especially right around your abdomen."

Also,
"Most fermented foods naturally contain Lactobacillus gasseri bacteria. Kombucha, Kefir, yoghurt and pickled vegetables like kimchi, sauerkraut are good sources of a wide variety of Lactobacillus strains."

Something to consider!! I definitely prefer to cut down supplements if I can get something through food.
I read this  (either Womans World or First for Women):

1. Whole foods
2. probiotics
3. prebiotic fibers


This Renew Life 100 Billion has 12 strains and I would hope is worth the $45!
 I might consider this one in the future!
