You've heard that probiotics contain all sorts of nutrients that help
you stay healthy. And as it turns out, probiotics could help you lose
weight, too, according to a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
For the study, researchers from Laval University in Quebec instructed 125
overweight men and women to follow a 12-week weight-loss diet, followed
by a 12-week maintenance period. Half of the participants also swallowed
probiotic pills every day, and the other half got placebo pills.
What happened? After the 12-week weight-loss period, the women who took
the probiotic pills had lost 9.7 pounds, on average, while the women who took
the placebos only lost 5.7 pounds. And then, after the 12-week maintenance
period, the women who took the placebo pills maintained a stable weight but
the probiotics group continued to slim down, losing 1.8 more pounds, on average
By the study's end, the women in the probiotics group also had less of the intestinal
bacteria related to obesity in their systems. Interestingly, the probiotics didn't have
a significant effect on the men in the study.
Study authors believe that probiotics may help you slim down because they
make your intestinal walls less permeable. As a result, fewer of the molecules
that may contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and glucose intolerance are able
to enter your bloodstream. To get the slimming effect, the researchers suggest
eating more foods that contain probiotics (like yogurt) and following a healthy diet
that's low in fat and high in fiber.

No, it's nothing to do with weight loss.
Pro-biotic is just the opposite of anti-biotic. An anti-biotic kills bacteria. A Pro-Biotic promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut.

This has nothing to do with how much you consume or burn off. (ie the main factors in weight loss)

diet in that terms refers to your nutritional intake. Its meant to be added to a daily nutritional basis in order for you to get the sufficient amount of minerals, vitamines etc. that you need (depending on the pills you take).
Usually though, normal people who do not exercise exessively and do not have other health issues that prevent them from absorbing minerals through a healthy diet, do not really require supplements.
A blood test could make you find out if you require supplements like iron, zinc or sth similar.

It will not help you lose weight. Diet and consistent exercise will help you lose weight.
