AI Article Synopsis
- Meals with low glycemic index (GI) may reduce short-term appetite compared to high-GI meals, but no thorough analysis had been done prior to this study.
- This meta-analysis reviewed data from various trials to evaluate how different types of breakfasts (high vs. low GI) impacted short-term food intake among healthy individuals.
- The findings indicated no significant difference in energy intake between high-GI and low-GI breakfasts, suggesting that GI may not affect short-term energy consumption, though further high-quality research is needed for stronger evidence.
Article Abstract
Meals with low glycemic index (GI) may suppress short-term appetite and reduce subsequent food intake compared with high-GI meals. However, no meta-analysis has been conducted to synthesize the evidence. This meta-analytic study was conducted to assess the effect of high- and low-GI breakfast on subsequent short-term food intake. Trials were identified through MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials, and manual searches of bibliographies until May 2015. Randomized controlled and cross-over trials comparing the effect of low- with high-GI breakfast on subsequent energy intake among healthy people were included. Nine studies consisting of 11 trials met the inclusion criteria. Only one trial was classified with high methodological quality. A total of 183 participants were involved in the trials. The meta-analytic results revealed no difference in breakfast GI (high-GI vs. low-GI) on subsequent short-term energy intake. In conclusion, it seems that breakfast GI has no effect on short-term energy intake among healthy people. However, high quality studies are still warranted to provide more concrete evidence.
