Brief Summary

The effect of caffeine on appetite and body weight is controversial. Mostly epidemiological studies exist that show either a negative effect (reduction of appetite and body weight) or no effect. In this trial we are going to study the results of the consumption of 5mgr/kgr body weight of caffeine on appetite, food consumption and hormones ghrelin, asprosin, leptin and pancreatic polypeptide in relation to gene polymorphisms that affect caffeine metabolism and body weight. Seventy subjects will participate in a cross sectional study consisting of two trials (with or without the consumption of caffeine) in order to study the aforementioned parameters. Differences of total calories consumption between fast metabolizers of caffeine and the rest of the participants is the primary outcome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • total calories consumption change

    a detail recording of foods and their quantities during the day of the trial will take place

    two trials (caffeine and control) two weeks apart each lasting one day

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • hormones concentrations change

    two trials (caffeine and control) two weeks apart each lasting one day

  • VAS (visual analog scale-11-likert scale with greater numbers indicating greater appetite) change for appetite

    two trials (caffeine and control) two weeks apart each lasting one day

  • VAS (visual analog scale 11-likert scale with greater numbers indicating greater satiety) change for satiety

    two trials (caffeine and control) two weeks apart each lasting one day

  • various macronutrients consumption change

    two trials (caffeine and control) two weeks apart each lasting one day

Study Arms (2)

caffeine consumption and metabolism

OTHER

Participants will take part in two trials. Each trial will last one day at least one week apart. During the first trial half of the participants will consume caffeine (5mgr/kgr) and the rest only water. During the second trial a crossover design will be applied

Dietary Supplement: caffeine consumption

control

OTHER

Control group will consume only water (not coffee) and the same parameters will be recorded as previously

Dietary Supplement: caffeine consumption

Interventions
