“…In total, 33 studies were examined, using different types and sources of DF and several functional fibers. During the trial period, subjects were guided with dietary advice to drink a minimum level of water or skim milk before taking the supplements [45,46,51,54,59]. To minimize potential discomforts, fiber doses in interventional studies were increased gradually throughout the supplementary period; whilst results were subsequently compared with baseline characteristics.…”

“…A few interventions were performed with functional fiber such as Litramine IQP G-002AS (derived from Opuntia ficus-indica), and PolyGlycoplex and psyllium fiber. PolyGlycoplex in granule form supplemented in a 12 g/day dose showed a reduction in BMI and body weight (P<0.01) compared with a soft gel form [51]. Furthermore, sodium alginate…”

Obesity is a prominent health problem in the developed world, and leads to other metabolic diseases. Besides exercise and physical activity, a dietary regimen of fiber-rich food could be a primary solution to overcome obesity. Over the past decades, scientists have been investigating the role of dietary fiber to prevent obesity through innumerable experimental or observational studies. Epidemiological evidences showed that dietary fiber in either soluble or insoluble form helps to reduce weight among overweight or obese adults. This review explores studies that used dietary fiber in different forms to provide a probable conclusion. The objective of this review is to demonstrate the relationship between intake of dietary fiber and its effect on obesity. A comprehensive search for published academic peer-reviewed articles up to August 2018 was carried out through a systematic electronic search of several databases. Any interventional, cross-sectional or prospective cohort study from 1980 to 2018 that examined the association between intake of dietary fiber and obesity was included. All the cross-sectional and cohort studies suggested a significant relationship between fiber intake and a reduction in obesity or a classification of being overweight. Within interventional studies, some treatment groups showed no association with fiber supplementation, whereas other studies with longer interventional periods showed a significant association with obesity. Though increased consumption of dietary fiber has an impact on health, it depends on the sources or functionality of the fiber, supplementation or consumption dosage of the fiber, and both the duration of the study and follow-up time points. This suggests that fiber in an edible form or from its mixing with other foods may contribute to prevent the prevalence of obesity.

“…Dietary fibre supplementation may facilitate weight loss through reduced frequency of eating and food consumption [ 23 ]. To test this hypothesis, Solah and colleagues performed a three-arm, parallel, blind, randomised controlled trial with either 4.5 g of PolyGlycopleX (PGX) as softgel, 5 g PGX as granules or 5 g of rice flour (RF) as a control [ 23 ]. Compared with the RF control, in the PGX granules group, there was a significant reduction in waist circumference (−2.5 cm), body weight (−1.4 kg), Body Mass Index (BMI) (−0.5 kg m −2 ) and number of eating occasions and intake of grain food [ 23 ].…”

The Health Benefits of Dietary Fibre

et al. 2020

Background: Dietary fibre consists of non-digestible forms of carbohydrate, usually as polysaccharides that originate from plant-based foods. Over recent decades, our diet within Westernised societies has changed radically from that of our hominid ancestors, with implications for our co-evolved gut microbiota. This includes increased ingestion of ultra-processed foods that are typically impoverished of dietary fibre, and associated reduction in the intake of fibre-replete plant-based foods. Over recent decades, there has been a transformation in our understanding of the health benefits of dietary fibre. Objective: To explore the current medical literature on the health benefits of dietary fibre, with a focus on overall metabolic health. Data Sources: We performed a narrative review, based on relevant articles written in English from a PubMed search, using the terms ‘dietary fibre and metabolic health’. Results: In the Western world, our diets are impoverished of fibre. Dietary fibre intake associates with overall metabolic health (through key pathways that include insulin sensitivity) and a variety of other pathologies that include cardiovascular disease, colonic health, gut motility and risk for colorectal carcinoma. Dietary fibre intake also correlates with mortality. The gut microflora functions as an important mediator of the beneficial effects of dietary fibre, including the regulation of appetite, metabolic processes and chronic inflammatory pathways. Conclusions: Multiple factors contribute to our fibre-impoverished modern diet. Given the plethora of scientific evidence that corroborate the multiple and varied health benefits of dietary fibre, and the risks associated with a diet that lacks fibre, the optimization of fibre within our diets represents an important public health strategy to improve both metabolic and overall health. If implemented successfully, this strategy would likely result in substantial future health benefits for the population.

“…A final sample size of 212 young adults who completed the 6-month study and had undertaken the 4-day mFR on two occasions were included in this analysis. The second sample was a convenience sample drawn from 118 community dwelling overweight and obese adults (20 to 67 years) participating in a 12-week RCT to determine the effectiveness of fiber supplementation on body weight and dietary intake [15]. Participants, were aged 25–70 years and BMI 25–35 kg/m 2 were recruited through radio advertisements and through University email communication systems.…”

BMI is Associated with the Willingness to Record Diet with a Mobile Food Record among Adults Participating in Dietary Interventions

Image-based dietary assessment methods have the potential to address respondent burden and improve engagement in the task of recording for dietary interventions. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with the willingness of adults to take images of food and beverages using a mobile food record (mFR) application. A combined sample of 212 young adults and 73 overweight and obese adults completed a 4-day mobile food record on two occasions and a follow-up usability questionnaire. About 74% of participants stated they would record using the mFR for a longer period compared with a written record (29.4 ± 69.3 vs. 16.1 ± 42.6 days respectively; p < 0.0005). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify those who were more likely to record mFR in the top tertile (≥14 days). After adjusting for age and gender, those with a BMI ≥ 25 were 1.68 times more likely (Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Interval: 1.02–2.77) than those with BMI < 25 to state a willingness to record with the mFR for ≥14 days. The greater willingness of overweight and obese individuals to record dietary intake using an mFR needs further examination to determine if this translates to more accurate estimates of energy intake.
