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 .
Kochujang, fermented soybean-based red pepper paste, decreases visceral fat and improves blood lipid profiles in overweight adults
Health benefits of Kochujang ( KCJ ) and its bioactive compounds have been reported in several in vitro and animal studies . Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of KCJ supplementation on body composition and blood lipid profiles in overweight adults . Methods Sixty overweight men and women with BMI ≥23 kg/m2 and waist-hip-ratio ( WHR ) ≥0.90 for men and ≥0.85 for women were r and omly assigned to a KCJ supplement ( n=30 , 32 g/day ) or placebo ( n=30 , 32 g/day ) group for a 12-week , double-blind , placebo controlled study . We measured anthropometric parameters , serum lipid profiles , abdominal fat distribution by computerized tomography and calculated the atherosclerosis indices in 53 subjects ( n=26 in KCJ group , n=27 in placebo group ) who completed the study . Results After 12 weeks , the KCJ group showed a significant reduction in visceral fat ( cm2 ) ( p<0.05 ) , although body weight ( kg ) and WHR did not change . Serum concentration of triglycerides and ApoB were decreased when compared to those of the placebo group . Conclusion KCJ supplementation ( 32 g/day ) for 12 weeks in overweight adults showed anti-atherosclerotic and anti-obesogenic effects . Trial registration Clinical trials.gov Identifier :
