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 .
Different Effect of Psyllium and Guar Dietary Supplementation on Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Overweight Patients: A Six-Month, Randomized Clinical Trial
In the setting of a six-month , open-label clinical trial , 141 consecutively enrolled , hypertensive , overweight patients were r and omized to the oral ingestion of psyllium powder or guar gum 3.5 gr t.i.d . , to be taken 20 min before the main two meals , or to st and ard diet . Both fibers improved significantly BMI , FPG , FPI , HOMA Index , HbA1c , LDL-C , and ApoB.  Psyllium supplementation only exerted a significant improvement in plasma TG concentration , in SBP and DBP . In our study , six-month supplementation with psyllium fiber , but not with guar fiber nor st and ard diet , appears to significantly reduce both SBP and DBP in hypertensive overweight subjects
