The aim of this study is to examine the effects of soy fiber on body weight, body composition and blood lipids in overweight and obese participants.
Thirty nine overweight and obese college adults (19-39 y of age) were randomly assigned to consume control biscuits or biscuits supplemented with soy fiber for 12 wk (approximately 100g/d). Information on body weight, body mass index, waist/hip circumference, blood pressure as well as measures of lipoprotein, glucose concentrations, and HbA1c was obtained at baseline, 8 and 12 wk after intervention. Body composition was also assessed at baseline and wk 12, respectively.
