The objectives of this trial are to investigate whether the effects of hemp protein on glycemic and appetite control are insulin-dependent by measuring 1) blood glucose, insulin and appetite for one hour following consumption, 2) blood glucose, insulin and appetite following a fixed energy meal to determine the "second meal effect" of hemp protein versus soybean protein and a non-protein control.

Plasma Glucose and Insulin Concentrations
Measured in blood using intravenous catheter at 12 time points, used to calculate area under curve (AUC). Glucose will be determined by automated methods using Abbot Spectrum CCX Analyzer, and Insulin will be measured by commercially available RIA kits. (Composite measure)
Time frame: 0-200 minutes
Appetite
Measured by VAS Questionnaire.
Time frame: 0-200 minutes
Food Intake
Measured by fixed energy meal.
Time frame: 0-200 minutes
Blood Pressure
Measured by automated bood pressure cuff.
Time frame: 0-200 minutes
Palatability of Treatments and Meal
Measured by VAS Questionnaire.
Time frame: 5-80 minutes
Physical Comfort
Measured by VAS Questionnaire.
Time frame: 0-200 minutes
Energy/Fatigue
Measured by VAS Questionnaire.
Time frame: 0-200 minutes
