Gut-derived appetite hormones do not explain energy intake differences in humans following low-carbohydrate versus low-fat diets.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to explore how dietary macronutrient composition influences postprandial appetite hormone responses and subsequent energy intake.

Methods

A total of 20 adults (mean [SEM], age 30 [1] years, BMI 27.8 [1.3] kg/m², n = 8 with normal weight, n = 6 with overweight, n = 6 with obesity) consumed a low-fat (LF) diet (10% fat, 75% carbohydrate) and a low-carbohydrate (LC) diet (10% carbohydrate, 75% fat) for 2 weeks each in an inpatient randomized crossover design. At the end of each diet, participants consumed isocaloric macronutrient-representative breakfast test meals, and 6-h postprandial responses were measured. Ad libitum energy intake was measured for the rest of the day.

Results

The LC meal resulted in greater mean p
