Figure 4. Microbiota main changes in individuals with obesity following classical or healthy dietary regimens in comparison to several control diets. MD: Mediterranean Diet, compared to low-fat high carbohydrate diet in 1Haro et al. (Citation2016a, Citation2016b, Citation2017) and to a habitual western diet in 2Meslier et al. (Citation2020). LFHC: Low-fat high-carbohydrate diet shows changes in comparison to MD (1Haro et al. Citation2016a, Citation2016b, Citation2017; P. diastonis only in the non-MetS group; Streptococcus and Clostridium in MetS-OB) and in microbiome plasticity (3Fragiadakis et al. Citation2020; 4Grembi et al. Citation2020). HFD: High fat diet; F. prausnitzii increased in high saturated fat diet with a high glycemic index as opposed to baseline (5Fava et al. Citation2013). HPD: high protein diet presents variations in Roseburia/Eubacterium rectale as proportion of total bacteria and decreased of Bacteroidetes versus MD (6Russell et al. Citation2011; 7Beaumont et al. Citation2017). *Others: dietary interventions with resistant-starch weight maintenance diet (RS-WM) versus control weight maintenance diet (C-WM diet) (8Johnstone et al. Citation2020); whole grain (WG) and fruits and vegetables (FV) interventions versus baseline (9Kopf et al. Citation2018). WG diet was also studied against refined grain (RG) consumption (10Roager et al. Citation2019; 12Vitaglione et al. Citation2015), with correlation in women (13Vuholm et al. Citation2017); resistant starch (RS) diet, non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) diet and weight loss (WL) diet versus Run-in maintenance diet (protein/carbohydrate/fat % as 13:52:35 of metabolizable energy) (11Salonen et al. Citation2014, 14 Walker et al. Citation2011). Created with BioRender.com.
