The first good bacteria group mentioned above, Actinobacteria, includes Bifidobacterium. These are common in probiotic supplements, kefir, and some yogurts. They respond to soluble fiber intake.

Lactulose is available by prescription and increases Blautia bacteria in our gut, which is the second of two bacteria groups mentioned that reduce food addiction.

FWIW, I find that protein shakes and fresh celery juice both cut my appetite and keep me from eating too much.

I don’t enjoy eating nearly as much most people. I don’t like the the feeling of being “full”. I remind myself to take another bite so that I maintain my weight. So it makes sense to me that there are folks on the other end of the spectrum.

Agree Greek yogurts work no sugar have protein too.
