Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a food formula, in particular to a solid beverage formula for weight loss and weight gain inhibition. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, obesity and overweight problems in China are also serious. Solving the problem of obesity cannot rely solely on medical solutions, lifestyle changes including exercise and healthy diet play an equally important role. For people who are overweight but have not yet reached the level of obesity, the most important improvement is lifestyle change.

[0003] Ketogenic diet has been proven by a large number of studies and population practices to be an effective weight loss solution. The classic ketogenic diet requires more than 70% of fat energy supply ratio, less than 10% of carbohydrate energy supply ratio, and inhibits glycogenesis to induce the body into a state of ketosis. The classic ketogenic diet is an unbalanced diet, difficult to implement, high in professional degree, with various nutritional risks, and long-term health risks cannot be ignored.

[0004] In recent years, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) have become a popular food raw material for ketogenic diet, because medium-chain triglycerides can directly enter the liver to produce ketone bodies for body energy. Medium-chain triglycerides can also promote satiety and help control food intake. Although medium-chain triglyceride ketosis is fast, it is generally unbalanced in nutrition and has many intestinal problems. Because medium-chain triglycerides are all saturated fatty acids, there is much controversy about their effect on blood lipid levels.

[0005] The core of weight loss and weight gain inhibition is fat loss, and promoting fat decomposition in the human body is not only a way of ketosis, but also a necessary way of lipogenesis. In fact, as long as strict calorie control is performed, the body will consume fat through both ketosis and lipogenesis, because some organs and tissues of the human body must use glucose as an energy source. Strict calorie control has high professional requirements. Strict calorie restriction can only be short-term, and many people achieve weight loss through short-term calorie control, but quickly rebound after calorie control ends. Mild calorie control is slow in weight loss and requires long-term adherence, which is difficult for most people to achieve.

[0006] In recent years, a large number of studies have found that resistant starch has very unique physiological effects. Although it belongs to carbohydrates, it rarely produces sugar and mainly ferments in the distal intestine to provide energy for the intestine; resistant starch fermentation produces a large amount of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have various physiological effects and can trigger satiety; resistant starch can significantly improve the intestinal microecology; resistant starch helps humans lose weight by reshaping the gut. (Reference: Resistant starch intake facilitates weight loss in humans by reshaping the gut microbiota, nature metabolism (2024), Resistant starch helps humans lose weight by reshaping the gut. (Nature Metabolism, 2024).)

[0007] The mulberry leaf extract contains a substance called 1-deoxynojirimycin, abbreviated as DNJ, which is an alpha-amylase inhibitor that can limit the enzymatic hydrolysis of short-chain carbohydrates by alpha-amylase and prevent the enzymatic hydrolysis of carbohydrates to produce glucose, thereby limiting sugar production.

[0008] After analyzing the mechanisms of resistant starch, medium-chain triglycerides, mulberry leaf extract, and other food raw materials, we developed a new solid beverage food program for weight loss. Resistant starch, medium-chain triglycerides, and mulberry leaf extract are combined, and the resistant starch is homogenized with psyllium husk powder to improve the taste. Add or do not add other food raw materials to modify the flavor or supplement the nutrients to meet the needs of different groups. The program is in the form of a solid beverage product, which is convenient to carry. It can be eaten before or with meals, can quickly cause satiety, and reduce food intake during meals; due to the so-called second meal glucose effect, this easy-to-eat state will last until the second meal; this easy-to-eat state helps the consumer to actively reduce food intake, achieving the purpose of caloric restriction; the formula induces a lower blood glucose response state, which is also a lower insulin response; and promotes the human body to actively consume fat through ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis.

[0009] The amount of resistant starch is recommended to be controlled at 25 to 30 grams per day according to the dietary fiber recommendation in the Chinese Dietary Guidelines; considering the requirements of a solid beverage, medium-chain triglyceride microcapsule powder (MCT powder) is selected. Medium-chain triglycerides belong to saturated fats, and their use should not be too high, and their use is limited to no more than 10g per day. SUMMARY

[0010] The purpose of the present application is to provide a solid beverage formula for weight loss and weight gain inhibition. The technical scheme is as follows: the main part of the solid beverage formula for weight loss and weight gain inhibition comprises resistant starch, medium-chain triglyceride microcapsule powder (MCT powder), mulberry leaf extract and psyllium husk powder, and other auxiliary raw materials comprise a mixture of one or more of resistant dextrin, milk powder, fruit and vegetable powder, etc.

[0011] Further, the weight proportion of the main part of the solid beverage formula is as follows: resistant starch 40% to 80%, medium-chain triglyceride microcapsule powder 2% to 20%, psyllium husk powder 2% to 20%, and mulberry leaf extract 0.5% to 10%.

[0012] Further, the weight proportion of other auxiliary food raw materials in the total formula is 1% to 20%.

[0013] The present application provides a solid beverage formula for weight loss and weight gain inhibition, which has the following effects: (1) faster satiety after eating the first and second meals, thereby effectively controlling food intake; at the same time, promoting ketogenesis and lipogenesis, consuming more fat; helping to achieve the goal of nutritional weight loss; (2) significantly improving metabolic conditions, having a positive effect on postprandial and fasting blood glucose, and improving glucose and lipid metabolism; (3) resistant starch and psyllium husk powder belong to dietary fiber and have prebiotic function, thus having the effect of improving the intestinal tract; (4) the present application is not a meal replacement food, and after eating the product, normal eating can be ensured to guarantee balanced nutrition, especially sufficient protein intake, thereby playing a role in protecting muscle; (5) resistant starch is high-quality carbohydrate, and the diet plan of the present application plus daily meals is a balanced diet, having the advantages of strong compliance and long-term adherence.
