AB  - As the proportion of the UK population who may be considered
overweight or obese is increasing, questions about the impact of foods
and food constituents upon appetite and satiety become increasingly
important. Briefly reviews some of the literature on the effects of
dietary fibre (or, more correctly, non‐starch polysaccharides) on
satiety. A number of experimental approaches have been used to
investigate this issue and, according to the mode of administration of
dietary fibre used, a variable outcome on satiety has been demonstrated.
However, the evidence overall is quite strongly in favour of an
enhancement of satiety with dietary fibre. Unfortunately, clinical
trials of the effects of dietary fibre have revealed only modest
improvements in weight loss and further work is needed in order to
target those individuals who demonstrate the greatest response.
