Meta- analysis of BMI values at end of trial showed no statistically significant difference in BMI change by use of 25[OH]D supplementation .
Based on existing published trials , oral 25[OH]D supplementation does not significantly impact BMI change
The impact of 25-hydroxyvitamin D ( 25[OH]D ) supplementation on weight change remains controversial .
The objective of this study was to summarize the effects of 25[OH]D supplementation ( cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol ) on BMI change through a meta- analysis of published clinical trials .
Milk supplementation facilitates appetite control in obese women during weight loss: a randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Dairy products provide Ca and protein which may facilitate appetite control . Conversely , weight loss is known to increase the motivation to eat . This r and omised controlled trial verified the influence of milk supplementation on appetite markers during weight loss . Low Ca consumer women participated in a 6-month energy-restricted programme  ( -2508 kJ/d or -600 kcal/d ) and received either a milk supplementation ( 1000 mg Ca/d ) or an isoenergetic placebo  ( n 13 and 12 , respectively )  . Fasting appetite sensations were assessed by visual analogue scales . Anthropometric parameters and fasting plasma concentrations of glucose , insulin , leptin , ghrelin and cortisol were measured as well . Both groups showed a significant weight loss ( P < 0·0001 ) . In the milk-supplemented group , a time x treatment interaction effect showed that weight loss with milk supplementation induced a smaller increase in desire to eat and hunger ( P < 0·05 ) . Unlike the placebo group , the milk-supplemented group showed a lower than predicted decrease in fullness ( -17·1 v. -8·8 ; -2·7 v. 3·3 mm , P < 0·05 , measured v. predicted values , respectively ) . Even after adjustment for fat mass loss , changes in ghrelin concentration predicted those in desire to eat ( r 0·56 , P < 0·01 ) , hunger ( r 0·45 , P < 0·05 ) and fullness ( r -0·40 , P < 0·05 ) . However , the study did not show a between-group difference in the change in ghrelin concentration in response to the intervention . These results show that milk supplementation attenuates the orexigenic effect of body weight loss
