%X In a randomized controlled clinical trial 144 women (18¨C50 y) with BMI£¿¡İ£¿25£¿kg/m2, were allocated into one of the following treatments during 3£¿months: 1) Two doses/d of a partial meal replacement (PMR), 2) Two doses/d of PMR with inulin (PMR£¿+£¿I) , 3) Two doses/d of 5£¿g of inulin (INU) and 4) Control group (CON). All groups received a low calorie diet (LCD). Weight, height, hip and waist circumference were measured every 2£¿weeks and body composition, lipids and glucose concentration and nutrient intake were assessed at baseline and after 3£¿months.All groups significantly reduced weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference. Differences between groups were only observed in BMI and weight adjusted changes: At 45£¿days PMR group lost more weight than INU and CON groups by 0.9 and 1.2Kg, respectively. At 60£¿days, PMR£¿+£¿I and PMR groups lost more weight than in INU by 0.7 and 1Kg, respectively. Subjects in PMR, PMR£¿+£¿I and INU significantly decreased triglycerides. Energy intake was reduced in all groups. Fiber intake increased in PMR£¿+£¿I and INU groups. Some minerals and vitamins intakes were higher in PMR and PMR£¿+£¿I compared with INU and CON groups.Inclusion of PMR with and without inulin to a LCD had no additional effect on weight reduction than a LCD alone but reduced triglycerides and improved intake of micronutrients during caloric restriction. PMR could be a good alternative for obese populations with micronutrient deficiencies.NCT01505023
