Filter by:Acute hunger-reducing effects (8h) has been documented for rye porridge breakfast compared with iso-caloric referenced refined wheat reference breakfast. The primary aim of the current study is to investigate whether this effects remains at regular consumption. A secondary aim is to compare the orocecal transit time (OCTT) between the two breakfasts.
Food structure influence metabolic response including appetite. Whole grain foods include a wide range of products; cracked or cut kernels, rolled flakes or milled to flour and used in foods such as breads, breakfast cereals and pasta.
In 2003, Surgeon General Richard Carmona suggested that low health literacy is "one of the largest contributors to our nation's epidemic of overweight and obesity." Over 26% of preschool children are now overweight or obese, and children who are overweight by age 24 months are five times as likely as non-overweight children to become overweight adolescents. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of a low-literacy/numeracy-oriented intervention aimed at teaching pediatric resident physicians to promote healthy family lifestyles and prevent overweight among young children (age 0-2) and their families in under-resourced communities.
The objective of this project was to evaluate a population-based, computerized tailored intervention that addresses recommended guidelines for three target behaviors related to obesity risk: physical activity (at least 60 minutes on at least 5 days per week), fruit and vegetable consumption (at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day), and limited TV viewing (2 hours or less of TV each day).
The investigators hypothesize that television viewing will affect food intake in adolescent girls, and will depend on pubertal stage. Food intake will be measured at 30 min following a glucose(1 g of glucose/kg body weight) or sweetened noncaloric beverage with or without the presence of TV. Subjective appetite will be measured as well.
The purpose of this protocol is to study the effects of fluid milk products on satiety, food intake, and glucose metabolism in healthy young men and women. Experiment 1: The specific objective is to investigate isovolumetric amounts of milk (2% M.F.), chocolate milk (1% M.F.), a soy beverage, cow's milk-based infant formula, and water (control) on satiety and food intake and on blood glucose before and after a meal. A fixed volume approach is based on the commercially available serving size. Experiment 2 will examine equicaloric amounts of milk (2% M.F.), chocolate milk (1% M.F.), a soy beverage, cow's milk-based infant formula, a glucose drink and water (control) the treatments in order to investigate macronutrient composition on satiety and food intake and on blood glucose before and after the meal.
This study presents evaluates the effectiveness of the Healthy Opportunities for Physical Activity(HOP'N) After-School Program on preventing obesity in children. The investigators hypothesized that normal and overweight/obese children attending after-school sites randomized to the control condition will increase in weight status to a greater extent compared to children at sites randomized to receive the HOP'N program. The investigators also hypothesized that after-school intervention HOP'N sites will increase in physical activity and healthful eating opportunities compared to control sites.
The investigators hypothesize that different types of starch vary in their effects on appetite, blood sugar and food intake. In this study, subjects consumed five soups containing 50 g of whole grain, high amylose corn, regular corn or maltodextrin starches or no added starch at one week intervals. The investigators measured food intake at 120 minutes, appetite and blood sugar.
The objective of this study was to describe relationships among whey protein when consumed before a meal on food intake and pre- and post-meal satiety, blood glucose in healthy young adults.
The purpose of this study is to describe relationships among whey protein and its hydrolysate when consumed before a meal on pre- and post-fixed meal satiety, blood glucose and insulin in healthy young adults.
