Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test whether food intake in response to large portion sizes differs between women who have received portion-control training and women who have not received such training. In a crossover design, women come to the laboratory on four occasions to eat a lunch of seven foods varying in energy density. Across meals, all foods are varied in portion size (100%, 125%, 150%, or 175% of baseline amounts). Food and energy intake is determined for each meal. Participants are from two groups: women who completed a one-year weight-loss trial in which they were trained in portion-control strategies, and women who had not received such training (community controls).
This study aims at assessing the effects of glucose and different types of breakfast on metabolic and neurofunctional responses in healthy individuals. Twelve healthy subjects, on a stable diet, in a randomized-crossover fashion, received either a 50 g glucose load (control) or one of these breakfast: B1: milk (125ml) and cereals (30g); B2: milk (220ml), apple (200g) and cream chocolate filled sponge cake (30g); B3: milk (125ml), bread (50g), apple (150g) and hazelnut cream chocolate (15g). Prior and upon completion of each tolerance test, an EEG was performed to measure frontal P300-evoked potentials.
In this study, the investigators varied both the energy density and portion size of milk served with a meal commonly consumed by preschool children. The milk used in this study is commercially available and reflects typical variations in energy density. The primary aim of the study is to investigate the independent and combined effects of milk energy density and portion size on preschool children's intake of the milk and the simultaneously served meal. The effect of milk energy density and portion size on children's total energy intake at the meal will also be evaluated.
This study examined how wearing a fat suit might lead individuals to experience the negative effects of weight based stigmatization, including psychological, behavioral, and physiological consequences. It also aimed to test using the fat suit as a possible intervention tactic to reduce weight stigma.
This study tests the effect of serving larger portions of all foods in a meal on the outcome of food and energy intake. Using a crossover design, participants are served the meal once a week for four weeks and the portion sizes are varied at each meal. Some of the foods served at the meal are low in calorie density (calories per gram) and some are higher in calorie density. The aim is to determine whether intake in response to larger portions differs depending on characteristics of the subjects or of the foods.
This study investigates the effect of varying both energy density and portion size of all foods at lunch on preschool children's intake. The foods used in this study are commercially-available, commonly-consumed foods with typical variations in energy density. The primary aim of the study is to investigate the independent and combined effects of energy density and portion size on preschool children's intake at a meal composed of foods typically served to this population.
The Validation of a Digital Diet Method project is very innovative because it links three methods to address the gap in measuring food intake of HS preschool children. Data collection is based on EMA theory; participant burden is low, and the Food Image App decreases participant and staff burden even further. Data management and analysis are semi-automated and relies on advanced computer algorithms. A strength of this approach is its semi-automation, which allows us to leverage the strengths of human operators and computer automation.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an acute intake of three different types of strawberry jam, differing in the carbohydrates and antioxidants content, on postprandial glucose metabolism, lipid profile, antioxidant status and satiety indices, in healthy adults.
Intake of vegetables and fruits in preschool children is less than recommended amounts. Although offering a variety of foods has been shown to increase intake, this effect has not been well studied for low-energy-dense foods. The purpose of this study was to test whether increasing the variety of vegetables and fruits served to preschool children affected the amount eaten. The hypotheses were that increasing the variety of vegetables and fruits would increase both the amount selected and the amount eaten.
Background: A topic of interest in the etiology of child obesity is if and how parental feeding behaviors are associated with child food intake and weight status. Objectives: The objective was to explore if and how directive (overt) and non-directive (covert and food environmental structure) types of parental feeding control were associated with children's food intake and weight status. Design: This was a cross-sectional, exploratory study using structural equation modeling to determine directional associations between maternal feeding practices and their child's food intakes and weight status. Researchers collected data from 330 dyads of 3-5yr children and mothers participating in a federal preschool program for low-income families (Head Start) in Michigan. Mothers' feeding practices (directive and non-directive control), children's food intakes, height and weight of both mothers and children were measured. Structural equation models tested the relationships between maternal feeding practices, the child's food intake and weight status. Hypotheses: 1. Child weight is negatively associated with parents' directive feeding control practices. 2. Less directive control or greater non-directive control is associated with healthier food intakes in children.
