A recent study has found that milkshake-like meals, bulked up with certain gasses or water actually makes people feel fuller longer and could result in weight loss.
As someone who likes to chew on food, I found this kind of odd, but it's not my place to judge, just to report on the world of health and fitness, so here it is.
A study presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Geneva compared 2 groups of people, one who at a full milkshake-like meal, and a half-sized version bulked up with a gas similar to that used in aerosol whipped cream.
According to the research, the gas-filled meal actually reduced appetite more than the standard one. Not only that, the satiety (feeling full) was maintained for 1-2 hours or even longer.
The results are expected to lead to new weight-loss products within the next few years.
