Effect of Certain Breakfasts on Appetite Control

A Randomized, Controlled, Cross-over Study of the Effect of Certain Breakfasts on Appetite Control.

This clinical trial is being conducted to study whether eating certain meals will reduce your desire to eat and for a longer period of time compared to others and to determine the post-meal glucose response associated with each of these breakfast foods.

The study is divided into 3 phases. Each phase involves eating one of 3 different breakfasts every day for 1 month. The order of the breakfast products is random. During each phase participants will come to the research clinic for 4 visits (1 per week) for assessment of appetite-related sensations. Gastric emptying will be assessed at 1 visit per phase and post prandial glucose response will be measured at 1 visit per phase (Asper site only).
