Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Capillary blood glucose and subjective appetite ratings

    Clinically useful change in serum glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test. Useful change in subjective appetite (hunger, desire to eat, motivation to eat, preoccupation with thoughts of food, thirst) scores from 100mm VAS

    7 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Subjective appetite ratings

    6 hours

  • Energy intake after preload

    2 hours

  • Energy intake next 24hours

    2 days

Study Arms (6)

Glucose as reference food

EXPERIMENTAL

Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects (male: 6, female: 4) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrate from white bread and glucose, two times, in different weeks as reference foods along with 250ml water; and 25g available carbohydrates from carob snack and chocolate cookie, one time, in different weeks along with 250ml water. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. The first glucose sample was taken exactly 15min after the first bite of food or drink.

Other: Glucose as reference food

Carob preload

EXPERIMENTAL

Fifty healthy subjects (male: 22, female: 28) were offered a standardized breakfast and 2h after consumed one of the two preloads (carob snack and chocolate cookie) served as snack in random order. Three hours after, subjects were given ad libitum access to a meal (lunch and dessert). Foods were weighed at the time of serving and any leftovers were weighed again after meal to determine the amount of food consumed. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were collected before and after foods. Subjective appetite ratings were collected using 100mm visual analogue scales (VAS).

Other: Carob preload

White bread as reference food

EXPERIMENTAL

Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects (male: 6, female: 4) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrate from white bread and glucose, two times, in different weeks as reference foods along with 250ml water; and 25g available carbohydrates from carob snack and chocolate cookie, one time, in different weeks along with 250ml water. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. The first glucose sample was taken exactly 15min after the first bite of food or drink.

Other: White bread as reference food

Carob snack as test food

EXPERIMENTAL

Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. The first glucose sample was taken exactly 15min after the first bite of food or drink.

Interventions

Ten subjects (male: 6, female: 4) consumed 25g glucose diluted in 250ml water, two times, in different weeks, within 5-10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Chocolate cookie snack as test food
Carob preloadOTHER

Fifty healthy subjects (male: 22, female: 28) consumed a standardized breakfast (bread and honey) and 2h after were offered a preload given as snack (40g carob snack). Three hours after, subjects were given ad libitum access to a meal (lunch and dessert). The meal consisted of rice, roasted chicken breast and chocolate cake. Foods were weighed before serving and any leftovers were weighed again after meal. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken before breakfast, 120min after breakfast; before preload, 120minand 180minpost-preload consumption; before meal (lunch and dessert), 60minand 120min post-meal consumption. Subjective appetite ratings were assessed with 100mm VAS.
