Brief summary
Dietary fiber consumption may contribute to weight regulation by improving satiety. In an earlier study the investigators found that a muffin containing resistant starch was more effective than other fibers in altering satiety. The objective of this study is to determine if 2 resistant starches consumed in muffins alter satiety and whether a mixture of resistant starches is more effective than either alone in enhancing satiety.
Interventions
Dextrin control administered in a muffin treatment.
9g Hi-maize resistant starch administered in a muffin treatment.
9g Novalose 330 resistant starch administered in a muffin treatment.
4.5g Hi-maize and 4.5g Novalose 330 in a muffin treatment.
