Summary

This study tested three versions of a protein-and-fiber drink that turns into a gel in the stomach, to see if it reduces appetite. Twenty-four adults with a BMI between 27 and 32 each tried the drinks and a control on separate days. Researchers measured how full they felt and checked their hunger hormones and food intake later in the day.
