Carbs Diet, Hunger & Satiety

Carbs Diet Study Aim
Examine the effect of simple carbs (SCHO) vs. complex carbs (CCHO) in breakfasts on blood parameters, hunger and satiety and mood.

Carbs Diet Study Subjects
A total of 26 male subjects

Carbs Diet Study Measurements
Blood glucose, insulin, triacylglycerols (TG), free fatty acids (FFA) and cholecystokinin (CCK) were determined repeatedly for 4 h on both test days after a breakfast containing SCHO or CCHO. Feelings of hunger and satiety were determined at similar time points as well. Mood state was examined 3 h after breakfast consumption.

Carbs Diet Study Results
Consumption of a SCHO breakfast resulted in higher glucose and insulin levels at 30 min after breakfast consumption. TG at 180 min, and FFA at 180 and 240 min were higher after SCHO breakfast than after CCHO breakfast. Satiety scores were higher after CCHO breakfast consumption for the first 90 min after intake. Furthermore, the item 'fatigue' was scored higher after SCHO breakfast than after CCHO breakfast intake.

Carbs Diet Study Conclusion
Consumption of a CCHO breakfast is favorable in comparison to a SCHO breakfast, because of the lower perception of 'fatigue' and the higher degree of satiety after consumption.
