Adherence
Interventions that enhance satiety and/or reduce hunger lead to a statistically significant reduction in body weight (average 3.60 kg greater than controls) in individuals with overweight or obesity when sustained over 8+ weeks.
If you struggle with hunger while dieting, try incorporating foods specifically designed to increase satiety or reduce hunger. These foods can help you eat less automatically, leading to an average extra weight loss of about 3.6 kg compared to standard diets over 8 weeks or more. Look for products that claim to enhance fullness.
Based on a meta-analysis, the average of 75 subjects exposed to satiety enhancing and/or hunger reducing foods during more than 8 weeks coincidently reduced their body weight by 3.60 (1.05; 6.15) kg (mean (95% confidence interval)) more compared with controls.
Why this rating
Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 clinical trials, though the authors note a need for more studies specifically designed to demonstrate causal links.
