Embodiment 1
[0088] Example 1 - Decreased cravings for palatable foods
[0089] this research:
[0090] 38 women were recruited through posters and advertisements in the local community (Lund, Sweden). Criteria were women aged 40-65, BMI between 25-33, non-smoking and healthy; exclusion criteria included diabetes, food allergy, irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerance and recent antibiotic use. Subjects were not vegetarians and had not been on a diet for the last three months. The baseline characteristics of the 38 women included can be seen in Table 1. Create two experimental groups by random selection. The ethics committee in Lund, Sweden approved the study.

[0093] BMI = body mass index, defined as the relationship between body weight (kg) and body length (meters) squared

Embodiment 2
[0112] Example 2 - Decreased need for nicotine
[0113]It is well known that smokers typically experience an increased urge to smoke when participating in a weight loss program, primarily because nicotine reduces appetite and reduces the taste for food. Unexpectedly, some smokers who had taken thylakoids on a regular basis spontaneously reported a reduction in the craving for nicotine. Often, thylakoid agents are given as part of a weight loss program.
[0114] One smoker was included in the study of Example 1 by oversight. The women, who had smoked about 17 cigarettes a day for the past 40 years, reported a significant reduction in their desire to smoke while participating in the study. At the end of the study she reported an increase in the urge to smoke.
[0115] Another woman, who normally smokes about 23 cigarettes a day, reported that when she started taking thylakoid agents regularly, her cigarette consumption decreased to about 15 a day. In addition, she reported ...
Embodiment 3
[0117] Example 3 - Decreased desire for palatable food during dietary intervention
[0118] The effects observed in Example 1 were achieved without caloric restriction. However, most weight loss programs are based on calorie restriction. The effect of thylakoids on hedonic hunger during caloric restriction commonly used in bariatric studies was thus also investigated.
[0119] subjects
[0120] Forty-eight middle-aged (40-65 years) non-smoking overweight women who were not currently or recently on a diet were recruited for screening by advertisements in local newspapers. Exclusion criteria were diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, thyroid disease, food allergy, and BMI over 33. Thirty individuals were enrolled as study participants. All 30 enrolled participants completed the study. Adherence was determined by diaries, interviews, and daily use of pedometers. Four participants (one from the control group and three from the thylakoid group) were excluded from d...
