Limitations and Caveats

Since this is an acute feeding study, thus the acute findings cannot translate to a long-term benefit. Next, due to limitations in budgeting, the biochemical parameters such as serum insulin, lipid profiles and appetite hormones were not assessed. Therefore, satiety was only measured using subjective means instead of assessed by physiological markers.
