Summary

The objective of the study is to show post-prandial benefits of Palaeolithic-type meals as compared to a meal constructed along the lines of the WHO dietary recommendations.

Detailed description

The effects of this set of meals will be assessed with respect to blood * blood glucose * plasma insulin * satiety scores * plasma gut hormones It is hypothesised that lower post prandial blood glucose concentration, a lower insulin response and increased satiety will be seen after the Palaeolithic meals compared with a reference meal

Conditions

• Glycemic Index of a Meal

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Palaeolithic meal 1	Based on estimated ratios for protein, fat and carbohydrates that are typical of Hunter-Gatherers and does not contain ingredients that were not available in pre-neolithic times
OTHER	Palaeolithic meal 2	Based on WHO dietary guidelines for protein, fat and carbohydrate but does not contain ingredients that were not available in pre neolithic times
OTHER	Reference meal	Based on WHO dietary guidelines for protein, fat and carbohydrate.
