Return of hunger following a relatively high carbohydrate breakfast is associated with earlier recorded glucose peak and nadir

This randomized controlled trial investigated how breakfast macronutrient composition affects postprandial glucose dynamics and subsequent hunger in 64 overweight but otherwise healthy adults. Participants were assigned to either a high-carbohydrate/low-fat (HC/LF; 55% carbs, 27% fat, 18% protein) or low-carbohydrate/high-fat (LC/HF; 43% carbs, 39% fat, 18% protein) eucaloric diet for 4

Change in Food Cravings, Food Preferences, and Appetite During a Low-Carbohydrate and Low-Fat Diet

This 2-year randomized controlled trial assessed the effects of low-carbohydrate (LCD) and low-fat diets (LFD) on food cravings, preferences, and appetite among obese adults (LCD: n=134; LFD: n=136). The LCD group experienced greater reductions in cravings for carbohydrates/starches and preferences for high-carbohydrate and high-sugar foods, along with decreased hunger levels.

L-carnitine ameliorated fasting-induced fatigue, hunger, and metabolic abnormalities in patients with metabolic syndrome: a randomized controlled study

This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of intravenous L-carnitine supplementation on fasting-induced fatigue, hunger, and metabolic abnormalities in patients with metabolic syndrome. Participants receiving 4 g/day of intravenous L-carnitine experienced significantly greater weight loss (-4.6 ± 0.9 kg vs. -3.2 ± 1.1 kg, P = 0.03), reductions in waist
