Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the treatment and / or prevention of overweight in a monogastric mammal. More particularly, the invention is concerned with such a method comprising administering to the mammal a liquid edible composition with a pH of more than 5, a viscosity below 50 mPas at a shear rate of 100 s-1 and 20Β° C., and a viscosity of at least 125% of the aforementioned viscosity at a pH 3 and a temperature of 37Β° C.; and with a caloric density between 0 and 500 kcal per liter, the composition comprising: a. between 0.01 and 5 wt. % of one or more polysaccharides selected from the group consisting of pectin and alginate; and b. between 0.01 and 3 wt. % calcium.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for the treatment and / or prevention of overweight, said method comprising administering to a monogastric mammal a pectin and / or alginate containing liquid composition.STATE OF THE ART

[0002] In effect, overweight in mammals is caused by the ingestion of excess calories. Calories are for example ingested via high caloric meals. Within the art, several strategies are known for reducing caloric intake. These strategies include for example replacing the high caloric meals by low caloric meals (e.g. meal replacers) or the ingestion of medicaments that reduce the absorption of high caloric components from the meal (e.g. lipase inhibitors).

[0003] Presently, a major contributor to the daily caloric intake are soft drinks. For example, in the USA, the ingestion of sugars from soft drinks presently is about 36.2 grams daily for adolescent girls and 57.7 grams for boys. These figures approach or exceed the daily limits for total added sugar consu...
