Energy intake and body weight effects of six months reduced or full fat diets, as a function of dietary restraint.

Objective: Assessment of the effect of six months consumption of reduced fat or full fat products on energy intake and body weight, as a function of dietary restraint.

Design: A small realistic supermarket in the University departments provided full fat commercial products and their reduced fat alternatives. Volunteers visited the supermarket once a week.

Effect of replacement of fat by nonabsorbable fat (sucrose polyester) in meals or snacks as a function of dietary restraint.

The effect of replacement of fat by nonabsorbable fat on energy intake and on feelings of hunger and satiety was assessed, in normal-weight dietary-restrained (n = 11), dietary-unrestrained (n = 13) and in postobese dietary-restrained women (n = 12), using 2 experimental designs. First, during breakfast and lunch on 2 sequential weekdays, 23 g of dietary fat was replaced by 23 g of a nonabsorbable fat. Second, dietary fat was replaced by a nonabsorbable fat in snacks consumed ad lib during a different week.

Diet-induced thermogenesis and satiety in humans after full-fat and reduced-fat meals.

Diet-induced thermogenesis was measured during and after a full-fat lunch, an identical but reduced-fat, reduced-energy lunch, and an iso-energetic reduced-fat lunch in 32 normal-weight men and women, age 35-55. Hunger and satiety were scored during and after the lunches, and their relationship to diet-induced thermogenesis was assessed. Diet-induced thermogenesis was relatively higher after the reduced-fat, reduced-energy lunch compared to the full-fat lunch (6.

The role of macronutrient selection in determining patterns of food intake in obese and non-obese women.

Objective: Examination of the role of macronutrient selection in determining patterns of food intake in obese and non-obese women.

Design: Inventory: food intake diaries of two weekdays and one weekend day; EXPERIMENT randomized.

Setting: Inventory: in daily life.

Energy intake adaptation of food intake to extreme energy densities of food by obese and non-obese women.

Objective: Examination of energy intake in relation to energy density of food in obese and non-obese women. Assessment of energy and macronutrient intake over a day.

Design: Controlled food intake diaries of two weekdays and one weekend day.
