Effect of Midmorning Puree Snacks on Subjective Appetite, Food Intake, and Glycemic and Insulin Responses in Healthy Adults

Abstract

Compared with snack skipping, coconut oil and oat puree snacks suppressed short-term food intake, which was likely due to the sustained release of FFA and slowly digestible oats, respectively. Our in vitro digestion model predicted the relative differences in the glycemic response in vivo.

Effect of White Potatoes on Subjective Appetite, Food Intake, and Glycemic Response in Healthy Older Adults

“…Subjective appetite was determined using a motivation-to-eat VAS questionnaire consisting of four questions: (1) desire-to-eat question of ‘how strong is your desire to eat?’ (‘very weak’ to ‘very strong’); (2) hunger question of ‘how hungry do you feel?’ (‘not hungry at all’ to ‘very hungry’); (3) fullness question of ‘how full do you feel?’ (‘not full at all’ to ‘very full’); and (4) prospective food consumption question of ‘how much food do you think you can eat?’ (‘nothing at all’ to ‘a large amount’) [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Subjective average appetite scores (units) were calculated from the four VAS question scores as follows, as previously reported [ 17 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]: (desire-to-eat + hunger + (100-fullness) + prospective food consumption)/4.…”

“…('not full at all' to 'very full'); and (4) prospective food consumption question of 'how much food do you think you can eat?' ('nothing at all' to 'a large amount') [31][32][33]. Subjective average appetite scores (units) were calculated from the four VAS question scores as follows, as previously reported [17,[31][32][33][34]: (desire-to-eat + hunger + (100-fullness) + prospective food consumption)/4.…”

“…Lunch FI was measured at 120 min with an ad libitum pizza lunch, as reported in our previous studies [17,[31][32][33]. Participants were escorted to a sensory room and individually seated in a semi-private cubicle with ad libitum water for 30 min.…”

“…Capillary blood samples were collected using a single-use, auto-disabling finger-prick lancet device (SLB200, Surgilance TM , Brussels, Belgium) in sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate capillary blood collection tubes (Terumo America Inc., CA, USA), as previously reported [33,34]. Blood samples were collected at baseline (0 min), and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min post-treatment consumption.…”

The effect of flaxseed on physical and mental fatigue in children and adolescents with overweight/obesity: a randomised controlled trial

“…Suppression of appetite in wheat group could be due to the time of puffed wheat consumption which was between meals. Investigations have acknowledged the effect of mid-day snacks on appetite control and induction of satiety (47,48) . In this regard, we observed higher reduction in energy intake in puffed wheat group compared to the flaxseed (-459 ± 432 kcal/day vs. -325 ± 624 kcal/day; P = 0.43).…”
