Randomized Controlled Trial
No effect of a diet with a reduced glycaemic index on satiety, energy intake and body weight in overweight and obese women.
To investigate whether a diet with a reduced glycaemic index (GI) has effects on appetite, energy intake, body weight and composition in overweight and obese female subjects. ⋯ This study provides no evidence to support an effect of a reduced GI diet on satiety, energy intake or body weight in overweight/obese women. Claims that the GI of the diet per se may have specific effects on body weight may therefore be misleading.
