Satiety - The Latest Trend in Weight Management?

As the obesity epidemic shows no signs of slowing, the food and drink industry is realising the potential for satiety-enhancing products, as well as other key ingredients, to assist in weight management.

The ability of food to create feelings of fullness and to delay the time in which hunger returns is a key trend. In the UK, major brands and retailers have launched satiety-enhancing products, with recent launches including fibre and protein yogurt drinks and milk-based fruit drinks with added pine nut oil.

Other ingredients, such as green tea, also help in regulating weight. In the short term, green tea has been shown to increase fat oxidation (helps the body to use fat as an energy source) and raise metabolism. In the long term, it has successfully been applied to help limit weight regain after weight loss.

In this one-day seminar you will learn of the benefits of some of these ingredients, and hear from leading experts on key findings from their research.
