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 .
Visceral fat and body weight are reduced in overweight adults by the supplementation of Doenjang, a fermented soybean paste
Various forms of fermented soybean products are well documented for their health benefits . The efficacy of anti-obesogenic effect of Doenjang , one of the most commonly used seasonings in Korean cuisine , has been reported only in animal models ; thus , an evaluation of Doenjang needs to be conducted in human studies . We aim ed to test the hypothesis that Doenjang supplementation reduces body weight and changes body composition in overweight adults . A total of 51 overweight adults participated in this study . A group of males with BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 and waist to hip ratio ( WHR ) ≥ 0.90 , and a group of females with BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 and WHR ≥ 0.85 were r and omly assigned to either a Doenjang supplement ( 9.9 g dry/day ) group or a placebo group for a 12-week r and omized , double-blind and placebo-controlled study . Anthropometric parameters , abdominal fat distribution by computerized tomography ( CT ) and blood components were measured before and after the intervention period . After the 12-week study , the Doenjang supplementation group had significant reductions in body weight ( kg ) , body fat mass ( kg ) and body fat ( % ) compared to the placebo group , the supplementation of Doenjang result ed in a significant reduction in visceral fat ( cm2 ) , although no changes were observed in total and subcutaneous fat are as ( cm2 ) , serum lipid profiles and dietary intakes . The present study demonstrated that daily supplementation of 9.9 g dry/day of Doenjang for 12 weeks reduces body weight and visceral fat in overweight adults
