Biscuits enjoy high popularity in the human diet and can be excellent snack alternatives and potential carriers of ingredients with appetite regulating properties. In the present study, the effects of a wheat biscuit enriched with plant proteins originated from legumes and seeds on gastrointestinal hormone responses of women with overweight/obesity after a hypocaloric dietary intervention will be examined.
Women with overweight/obesity will follow a 12-week dietary intervention supplemented with a cereal-based biscuit enriched with plant proteins or a common isocaloric wheat biscuit as a daily snack. At the beginning and at the end of the dietary intervention postprandial metabolic responses, body weight reduction and subjective appetite ratings will be examined.
