Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to reduce excessive food consumption by controlling the satisfaction that people get from eating. This will be achieved through varying protein supplements (whey, leucine and beta-conglycinin) and their combinations. The idea is that people will feel satisfied despite eating less, leading to weight loss and the correction of related metabolic disorders.
