Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Weight was obtained in light clothing to the nearest 0.1kg using a digital scale 8:00am and 10:00am after an overnight fast between.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change in Body Fat Mass，Body Lean Mass and Visceral Fat Mass [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BIA (bioelectric impedance analysis, ZEUS9.9, JAWON) was used to determine body fat mass, body lean mass, and visceral fat mass.
- Change in Fat Percentage [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BIA (bioelectric impedance analysis, ZEUS9.9, JAWON) was used to determine fat percentage.
- Change in Visceral Fat Area [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BIA (bioelectric impedance analysis, ZEUS9.9, JAWON) was used to determine visceral fat area.
- Change in Waist, Abdominal and Hip Circumference [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Waist, abdominal and hip circumference was measured using a plastic tape to the nearest 0.1 cm
- Change in Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured in the left arm at heart level of subjects seated for a minimum of 5 minutes using mercurial sphygmomanometer.
- Change in Lipid-lipoprotein Profile [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change in Fasting Plasma Insulin [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change in Energy Intakes [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:
Due to the contradicting findings in the hypothesis of calcium supplementation on weight and fat loss, which might be explained by the difference in initial calcium intake, the present study is aimed to evaluate the effect of calcium plus vitamin D supplementation on accelerating weight and fat loss in overweight or obese subjects with very-low calcium consumption(＜600mg/day).
The hypotheses to be tested are:
Calcium plus vitamin D supplementation is conducive to body weight and fat loss in overweight or obese young adults during energy restriction 12 weeks after randomization.
