This study was to evaluate the effects of high‐vegetable Bibimbap consumption on weight loss, body composition, and blood parameters. Overweight subjects (BMI>;=23) were assigned to either a daily single meal of high‐vegetable Bibimbap (HV diet; 12 g fiber/meal/day) or a weight‐loss regimen (WL diet), with the dietary counseling of same energy intake (1800kcal for males; 1500kcal for females) for 12 weeks. Fifty‐five subjects (23 males and 32 females; 26.8¡¾8.1 years) completed the study. From the baseline to 6th week, weight and BMI were decreased significantly in both HV (−1.7kg, P=0.000; −0.62kg/m2, P=0.000 ) and WL(− 1.1kg, P=0.000; −0.40kg/m2, P=0.000) groups but such findings existed only in the HV group(−1.0kg, P=0.010; −0.37kg/m2, P=0.008) from 6th to 12th week. After 12 weeks fasting blood glucose levels were decreased in both HV(−7.0mg/Dl, P=0.000) and WL(−3.5mg/Dl, P=0.042) groups and were lower in the HV group (P=0.030). Blood levels of total cholesterol(P=0.039) and HDL(P=0.050) were lower in the HV group than in the WL group at the 6th week but not at the 12th week. Incorporating a daily high‐vegetable Bibimbap into a weight‐loss regimen improved consistent weight loss and would be effective in the weight‐loss programs.
