Abstract in brief

  • The study found that drinking orange juice (OJ) along with a reduced-calorie diet (RCD) did not hinder weight loss or improve body composition, but it did significantly improve metabolic biomarkers such as insulin sensitivity, cholesterol levels, and inflammation markers in obese individuals.
  • Both groups, those with and without OJ, achieved similar weight loss outcomes, indicating OJ did not cause weight gain despite common assumptions linking it to adverse effects.
  • Consumption of OJ increased vitamin C and folate intake, but overall diet quality did not show significant nutritional benefits beyond these nutrients; thus, OJ can be incorporated into a calorie-restricted diet without negatively affecting weight loss or metabolic health.
