Summary

The metabolic syndrome is rising worldwide as a consequence of the continued obesity epidemic. The current obesogenic environment makes the regulation of energy intake difficult and impedes the maintenance of weight loss. Dietary patterns and/or ingredients that curb hunger and reduce energy intake are critically needed. We hypothesize that inclusion of protein and prebiotic fiber in the diet will reduce adiposity in overweight and obesity adults.
