Scientists have discovered that adding seaweed extract alginate on a chocolate milkshake may suppress hunger.
Study shows that men and women who drank alginate-based drinks for breakfast almost a third do not feel hungry at lunchtime, compared with people who eat a regular milkshake.
The findings have been reported in the journal Obesity paves the way for a variety of foods that can make people feel full longer, thus making it easier to resist a snack between meals.
"A variety of different diets and diet programs can effectively lose weight," explained researcher Harry Peters, as reported by Dailymail.
However, Peters continued, many subjects who fail to comply with the diet so that weight loss is not achieved or can not be maintained.
"Delaying hunger after a meal can potentially improve consumer satisfaction with weight control programs, reducing energy and food products encourage long-term compliance with a reduced energy diet," said Peters.
This research was conducted by adding alginate and calcium on the product and given to participants shakes healthy for breakfast.
Participants are provided with the highest amount of alginate feel less hungry by 30 percent after five hours later.
Alginate is not doing anything to change the flavor drink shakes, but participants say it gives a sense of comfort and satiety.
Alginate form turns into a gel in the acidic environment of the stomach, whereas calcium and increase the thickness of the gel.
This creates a feeling of fullness, as well as storing food in the stomach longer.
