In the study to investigate whether using a high MF could lead to a greater weight
loss than that obtained with a low MF under conditions of similar
energy restriction. Subjects were randomised into two treatment arms
(high MF = 3 meals+3 snacks/d or low MF = 3 meals/d) and subjected to
the same dietary energy restriction of - 2931 kJ/d for 8 weeks. Sixteen
obese adults (n 8 women and 8 men; age 34.6 (sd 9.5); BMI 37.1 (sd 4.5)
kg/m2) completed the study. Overall, there was a 4.7 % decrease in body weight (P < 0.01); similarly, significant decreases were noted in fat mass ( - 3.1 (sd 2.9) kg; P < 0.01), lean body
mass ( - 2.0 (sd 3.1) kg; P < 0.05) and BMI ( - 1.7 (sd 0.8) kg/m2; P
< 0.01). However, there were NS differences between the low- and
high-MF groups for adiposity indices, appetite measurements or gut
peptides (peptide YY and ghrelin) either before or after the
intervention(1)
