Background: Obesity underlying endocrine, metabolic and eating behaviour features promotes weight gain, increase of hunger, and carbohydrate (Carb) craving. Restrictive diets either in calories or Carb produce withdrawal effect, that further exacerbate Carb craving resulting in rapid return of obesity. Meal timing and composition has shown to play a pivotal role in appetite regulation through several hormonal systems such as ghrelin. The investigators hypothesized that to be successful; a weight loss strategy must change the hormonal environment to increase satiety while reducing hunger and craving.
