Inverse association between the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose and subsequent short-term food intake in young men.

Background: A primary mechanism by which carbohydrates are thought to regulate satiety and food intake is through their effect on blood glucose.

Objectives: The objectives were to describe the effect of defined carbohydrate preloads on food intake and blood glucose and to determine the association between food intake and blood glucose.

Design: Three experiments were conducted in which selected carbohydrates as 1255-kJ isovolumetric beverages were administered to young men after an overnight fast.
