Moreover , there was nonlinear association between duration of psyllium consumption , BMI and WC .
Conclusion : Psyllium supplementation does not reduce body weight , BMI , and WC significantly
Abstract Background : Previous studies reported inconsistent findings regarding the effects of psyllium supplementation on  obesity measures .
This systematic review and meta- analysis was performed to summarize data from available r and omized clinical trials ( RCTs ) on the effect of psyllium supplementation on  body weight , body mass index ( BMI ) , and waist circumference ( WC ) in adults .
Dietary fiber and subsequent changes in body weight and waist circumference in European men and women.
BACKGROUND Dietary fiber may play a role in obesity prevention . Until now , the role that fiber from different sources plays in weight change had rarely been studied . OBJECTIVE Our aim was to investigate the association of total dietary fiber , cereal fiber , and fruit and vegetable fiber with changes in weight and waist circumference . DESIGN We conducted a prospect i ve cohort study with 89,432 European participants , aged 20 - 78 y , who were free of cancer , cardiovascular disease , and diabetes at baseline and who were followed for an average of 6.5 y. Dietary information was collected by using vali date d country-specific food-frequency question naires . Multiple linear regression analysis was performed in each center studied , and estimates were combined by using r and om-effects meta-analyses . Adjustments were made for follow-up duration , other dietary variables , and baseline anthropometric , demographic , and lifestyle factors . RESULTS  Total fiber  was inversely associated with subsequent weight and waist circumference change . For a 10-g/d higher total fiber intake , the pooled estimate was -39 g/y ( 95 % CI : -71 , -7 g/y ) for weight change and -0.08 cm/y ( 95 % CI : -0.11 , -0.05 cm/y ) for waist circumference change . A 10-g/d higher fiber intake from cereals was associated with -77 g/y ( 95 % CI : -127 , -26 g/y ) weight change and -0.10 cm/y ( 95 % CI : -0.18 , -0.02 cm/y ) waist circumference change . Fruit and vegetable fiber was not associated with weight change but had a similar association with waist circumference change when compared with intake of total dietary fiber and cereal fiber . CONCLUSION Our finding may support a beneficial role of higher intake of dietary fiber , especially cereal fiber , in prevention of body-weight and waist circumference gain
