Low glycemic load experimental diet more satiating than high glycemic load diet.

Effective strategies for reducing food intake are needed to reduce risk of obesity-related cancers. We investigated the effect of low and high glycemic load (GL) diets on satiety and whether satiety varied by body mass index (BMI), gender, and serum leptin. Eighty normal weight (BMI = 18.

A low-glycemic load diet reduces serum C-reactive protein and modestly increases adiponectin in overweight and obese adults.

Low-glycemic load (GL) diets improve insulin resistance and glucose homeostasis in individuals with diabetes. Less is known about whether low-GL diets, independent of weight loss, improve the health profile for persons without diabetes or other preexisting conditions. We conducted a randomized, cross-over feeding study testing low- compared to High-GL diets on biomarkers of inflammation and adiposity in healthy adults.
