The mechanisms of the theory of obese microbiome are clearer every day. Some of these mechanism include a regulations over the immune system, furthermore, the gut microbiome influences both sides of the energy-balance equation by contributing to nutrient absorption and regulating host genes that affect adiposity. Another mechanism for promoting weight gain is based on the endocrine role of gastrointestinal system on hunger, satiety, and food intake. Objective: This paper summarizes all these aspects, and describes some evidence-based recommendations to improve the equilibrium of gut microbiome with the goal of to get loss weight. Conclusions: The mechanisms of action across which the microbioma can contribute to the overweight and the obesity include an increase of the energetic capture to intestinal level, increase of deposition of lipids in the adipose fabric and activation of the systemic inflammation. In the treatment of the obesity, the regulation of the gut microbiota notes the use of probiotics and prebiotics involved.
