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 .
Weight Loss and Lipid Changes with Low-Energy Diets: Comparator Study of Milk-Based versus Soy-Based Liquid Meal Replacement Interventions
Objectives : Soy protein intake has favorable effects on body weight and fat distribution in experimental animals but these effects have not been demonstrated in humans . To compare effects of soy- vs. milk-based meal replacements ( MR ) we assessed weight loss and serum lipoproteins changes for obese subjects who consumed low-energy diets ( LED ) including either milk-based or soy-based MR .  Methods : Overweight or obese women and men ( body mass indices 27–40 kg/m2 ) were r and omly assigned to LED providing 1200 kcal/day , with consumption of five soy-based or two milk-based liquid MR for a 12-week weight loss trial . Serum lipoprotein measurements were obtained at baseline , 6 and 12 weeks . Results : For soy and milk MR groups , subject numbers were , respectively , 51 and 39 r and omized and 30 and 22 completers .  MR use averaged : soy , 3.7/day ; and milk , 1.9/day . Weight losses for completers at 12 weeks were : soy MR , 9.0 % of initial body weight ( 95 % confidence intervals , 7.3–10.6 % ) ; and milk MR , 7.9 % ( 5.8–8.8 % ) with no significant differences . Reductions from baseline in serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol values , respectively , at six weeks were significantly greater ( P < 0.015 ) with soy MR ( 15.2 % and 17.4 % ) than with milk MR ( 7.9 % and 7.7 % ) . Soy MR use was associated with significant reductions in serum triglycerides at 6 and 12 weeks while milk MR use was not . Conclusions : Soy MR use , as part of a low-energy diet , was associated with slightly but not significantly greater weight loss over a 12-week period than milk MR use . These observations confirm previous studies documenting the effectiveness of MR use for weight loss
