Analysis showed that soy products significantly reduced body weight , BMI , body fat percent and waist circumference in overweight or obese Asian population s ( −0.37 kg , P = 0.010 ; −0.27 kg/m2 , P = 0.042 ; −0.36 % , P = 0.032 ; −0.35 cm , P = 0.049 ) and more significant effects were observed in non-menopausal women reduced body weight ( −0.59 kg , P = 0.041 ) , BMI ( −0.59 , P = 0.041 ) and waist circumference ( −0.59 cm , P = 0.041 ) in overweight or obese population s. Conclusion : This meta- analysis showed that soy products  have weight loss effects , mainly due to soy protein , isoflavone and soy fiber
Background : The effect of soy products on the weight of overweight or obese people  is controversial , so we aim ed to conduct a systematic review and a meta- analysis of published r and omized controlled trials to analyze whether supplementation with soy products can help them to lose weight .
Effects of consuming a high‐protein diet with or without soy protein during weight loss and maintenance: a non‐inferiority, randomized clinical efficacy trial
Summary Objective This 12‐month r and omized , non‐inferiority clinical trial sought to determine the impact of consuming soy protein as part of an energy‐restricted , high‐protein diet on weight loss , body composition and cardiometabolic health . Methods Seventy‐one adults ( 58 female ) with overweight or obesity ( body mass index : 32.9 ± 3.6 kg m−2 ) were r and omly assigned to consume three servings of soy ( S ) or non‐soy ( NS ) protein foods per day for 12 months . All participants completed a group‐based behavioural weight loss program lasting 4 months ( M4 ) , and follow‐up assessment s were completed at month 12 ( M12 ) . Results Body weight was reduced in both groups at M4 ( S : −7.0 % ± 5.2 % , NS : −7.1 % ± 5.7 % ) and M12 ( S : 3.6 % ± 5.1 % , NS : −4.8 % ± 7.3 % ) . Body weight reductions ( mean difference [ 90 % confidence interval ] ) were not different between S and NS at either time point ( M4 : −0.16 % [ −1.4 , 3.6 ] , P = 0.90 ; M12 : 1.1 % [ −1.4 , 3.6 ] , P = 0.44 ) . Differences in body fat mass loss were not different between S and NS at M4 ( 0.29 ± 0.84 kg , P = 0.73 ) or M12 ( 0.78 ± 1.5 kg , P = 0.59 ) . Weight loss‐induced improvements in cholesterol , triglycerides and blood pressure did not differ between S and NS . Conclusion These results indicate that soy‐based protein foods can be effectively incorporated into an energy‐restricted , high‐protein diet for improving body weight , body composition and cardiometabolic health
