Fiber-Rich diet may tame blood sugar and hunger in overweight adults

This study tested whether a diet packed with fiber, but lower in calories and sugar, helps control blood sugar after meals and keeps people feeling full. Twenty-four overweight or obese adults ate either the high-fiber diet or a typical Western diet for a short period. Researchers measured blood sugar continuously and asked participants about hunger and fullness. The goal was to see if the fiber-rich diet is both well-tolerated and effective for managing appetite and blood sugar.
