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.

Full 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
