Brief Summary
Dietary fibre seems to have a relevant role in body weight management. In an acute study the investigators found that high viscous-high gelling pectin increased feelings of satiety. The objective of this study is to study the effects of 2 weeks of supplementation of high gelling-high viscous fibre or a high gelling-high viscous non-fibre control on energy intake. The investigators do this by measuring the difference in ad libitum energy intake after 15 days of pectin or 15 days of control supplements. The investigators will further measure differences in 24h feelings of satiety, fasting blood glucose and insulin, fermentation and composition of microbiota.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Energy intake
after 14 days of both intervention and placebo supplements ad libitum energy intake is measured for 3 days in a row. The change in energy intake will be calculated.
change from placebo after 2 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (8)
satiety
change from placebo after 1 day and 15 days
fasting glucose
change from placebo after day 0, 1 and 15
fasting insulin
change from placebo after day 0, 1 and 15
fasting leptin
change from placebo after day 0, 1 and 15
hydrogen in breath
change from placebo after day 2 and 15
