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 .
Long-term effect of fibre supplement and reduced energy intake on body weight and blood lipids in overweight subjects.
A weight-reducing potential has been ascribed to high dietary fibre intake . To investigate the practical reliability of this hypothesis , fifty-three moderately overweight females ( BMI > 27.5 kg/m2 ) on reduced energy intake ( 1200 kcal/day ) were treated for 24 weeks with a fibre supplement on a r and omly , double-blind , placebo-controlled basis . The fibre was administered as an initial dose of 6 g and a maintenance dose of 4 g. Body weight and blood pressure were recorded weekly during the first 3 months and thereafter every second week . Blood sample s were drawn at start and at end of the study . Initial body weights were 75.6 + /- 1.6 kg in the fibre group versus 75.5 + /- 1.6 kg in the placebo group . After treatment , mean weight loss in the fibre group was 8.0 kg versus 5.8 kg in the placebo group ( p < 0.05 ) . Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly reduced in both groups without differences between the groups . Serum concentrations of cholesterol , triglycerides and uric acid were significantly reduced in the group with reduced energy intake , whereas no additional effect was observed when fibre was supplemented . Serum concentrations of potassium and sodium did not change significantly . The results suggest that a dietary fibre supplement in combination with a hypocaloric diet is of value as an adjunct in the management of overweight
