Materials and Methods: This study included two phases of weight loss (8 weeks) and weight maintenance (16 weeks). Eighty-eight overweight people were randomly divided into 4 groups: Isocaloric diet with probiotic (500mg), isocaloric diet with ALA (600mg) and probiotic, isocaloric diet with ALA and isocaloric diet with placebo groups. In the second phase, the participants received normal diet with the above-mentioned supplements. At the beginning and end of the first phase and at the end of the second phase, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), body fat percentage, Creactive protein (CRP), and appetite were evalauted. We used SPSS software for statistical analysis. Independent sample t-test and ANOVA were used to compare the alterations in the mean values among the groups. Results: At the end of the first phase, the level of anthropometric changes, inflammatory factor and appetite were significant in the intervention groups, but these changes were higher in the probiotic + ALA group than in the other groups (P <0.05). At the end of the second phase we found significant changes only in the probiotic + ALA group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Addition of probiotic and ALA supplements to the normal diet can be effective in appetite and weight management and also maintainance of weight loss which may be due to decreased inflammation.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of probiotic and alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) supplements on the anthropometric indicators and maintenance of weight in overweight individuals. Methods: This study consisted of two phases of weight loss (8 weeks) and weight maintenance (16 weeks). Eighty-eight overweight participants were randomly divided into 4 groups in phase 1: isocaloric diet with probiotic (500 mg), an isocaloric diet with ALA (600 mg) and probiotic, an isocaloric diet with ALA and isocaloric diet with placebo. In phase 2, participants received a normal diet with the mentioned supplements. In the beginning, end of the phase 1, and at the end of phase 2, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), body fat percentage, and blood pressure (BP) were measured. Also, 10 cc blood samples were taken from subjects to measure C-reactive protein (CRP). Data was analyzed using SPSS software. Results: At the end of the two phases, the differences of changes in the probiotic þ ALA group was significant in weight, WC, and CRP factors when compared to the other groups (P < 0.05). Also, at the end of the study, maintain a reduced weight was significantly higher in the probiotic þ ALA group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: According to findings, probiotics and ALA supplementation with normal diet help to maintain decreased weight after adhering to a weight loss diet. This may be due to the reduction of inflammation. Trial registration: (IRCT20141025019669N10).
