Filling: Those who drank a chocolate milkshake with the seaweed extract felt almost a third less hungry by lunchtime that those who had a normal milkshake
A seaweed shake could help you lose weight – and not just because the thought of it is enough to put you off your food.
Scientists have found that adding the seaweed extract alginate to a chocolate milkshake suppresses hunger pangs.
Men and women who drank the alginate-based drink for breakfast felt almost a third less hungry by lunchtime than those who had a normal milkshake.
The finding, reported in the journal Obesity, paves the way for a range of foods that keep us feeling fuller for longer and make it easier to resist snacks between meals.
Researcher Harry Peters said: ‘Many different diets and diet programmes can be effective in reducing weight.
‘However, many subjects fail to adhere to these diets and the reduction in weight is therefore not achieved or maintained.
‘Delaying the return of hunger after consumption can potentially increase consumer satisfaction with weight control programmes and reduced-energy food products and encourage long-term compliance with a reduced-energy diet.’
Diet: The seaweed extract alginate was found to suppress hunger pangs
Researchers from British-based food giant Unilever added alginate and calcium to cartons of their chocolate Slim-Fast meal replacement shakes and gave them to healthy volunteers in place of breakfast.
Those who had the highest amounts of alginate in their drinks felt up to 30 per cent less hungry five hours later.
The alginate did nothing to alter the flavour of the shake, with the participants saying it was just as pleasant as the real thing.
The form of alginate used turns into a gel in the acidic environment of the stomach, and the calcium adds to the gel’s thickness.
This creates a feeling of fullness, as well as holding food in the stomach for longer.
The research, carried out in the Netherlands, did not look at whether those who drank the alginate shakes ate less for lunch.
