Abstract

Summary: Background & aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of low energy diet containing condensed processed yogurt (Kashk), as a high protein, calcium and probiotic enriched product, on glycemic control, lipid profile, anthropometric measurements and blood pressure among women with overweight/obesity. Methods: 70 women with overweight/obesity were randomly assigned to receive either a low energy diet contained 50 g of Kashk (intervention group) or a low energy diet without Kashk (control group) for 8 weeks. Anthropometric, blood pressure and biochemical measurements were obtained before and after the intervention. Results: Between-group comparisons showed that the intervention group significantly decreased triglycerides ( P = 0.013) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( P = 0.049) levels relative to the control group. Significantly greater reductions in body mass index ( P = 0.018), fat percent ( P = 0.037) and waist circumference ( P = 0.047) were observed in the intervention group compared to control. Within-group comparisons revealed significant reductions in systolic blood pressure ( P = 0.035) and weight ( P = 0.005) in the intervention group. Conclusions: Long-term consumption of Kashk, as a high protein and calcium product enriched with probiotic that is accompanied by a low energy diet, might have beneficial effects on anthropometric and biochemical indices, though more cross-over and parallel blinded trials with placebo groups are needed to confirm these results.
