Effect of Daily Intake of SATIOSTAT Over 6 Weeks on Weight Loss, Glucose Tolerance, Gastrointestinal Tolerance and Gut Microbiota.

SATIOSTAT is a composition comprising a specific dietary fibre component (a mixture of hydrocolloids with excellent safety profiles and a long history of use in humans) and a lipid component (long-chain fatty acids). The goal of this combination is to achieve long-acting delivery of long-chain fatty acids to the intestinal lining, triggering the sustained release of satiety-signals from intestinal cells, and consequently reducing appetite and lowering food intake in humans. Over a period of 6 weeks, volunteers will ingest SATIOSTAT as meal replacement at lunch and as first course at dinner. Once before and after these 6 weeks the investigators will carry out an oral glucose challenge, measure satiation hormones and examine faeces (gut microbiota). Volunteers will fill in a food diary and a questionnaire for gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life. The whole study will take approximately 8-10 weeks.
