文摘

To assess the satiety-promoting effect of a novel viscous fiber-containing nutrition bar, overweight and obese adult subjects with type 2 diabetes (n = 99) were randomized into a double blind, crossover study. They were fed a 300 kcal lunch consisting of viscous fiber-containing nutrition bars (VF) or commercial nutrition control bars designed for people with diabetes (CH). VF resulted in a 27.1 % increase in fullness (p < 0.05), a 15.8 % decrease in prospective consumption (p < 0.001), and a 14.2 % decrease in hunger (p < 0.001) in the 120–240 min post-lunch areas under the curve (AUC) compared to CH, but no differences were observed for nausea or thirst (p > 0.05). Similar results were noted for 0–300 min AUC values. VF were associated with greater frequencies and intensities of abdominal distention (p < 0.001) and flatulence (p < 0.001), and greater frequency of stools (p < 0.001) compared to CH, but there were no differences in mean or maximum (loosest) stool consistency (p > 0.05). Overall, these results suggest that VF could be a useful tool in weight management of type 2 diabetes.
