Abstract
The effect of a breakfast cereal containing insoluble fiber on subjective appetite, food intake, and blood glucose was investigated Young adult men and women were fed equal servings (60 g) of high and low fiber cereals in a repeated measures design. Blood glucose and subjective appetite were measured at regular intervals up to 255 min and ad libitum food intake at 180 min. Food intake was not affected by treatment, but cumulative food intake (from breakfast and lunch) was lower following the high fiber cereal. The high fiber compared with the low fiber cereal increased subjective satiety per kilocalorie of energy and resulted in lower blood glucose after consumption and immediately after lunch In conclusion, this study provides evidence in support of short-term effects of insoluble fiber consumption on food intake and glycemic control.
