Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to show post-prandial benefits of Palaeolithic-type meals as compared to a meal constructed along the lines of the WHO dietary recommendations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The effects of this set of meals will be assessed with respect to blood

* blood glucose
* plasma insulin
* satiety scores
* plasma gut hormones It is hypothesised that lower post prandial blood glucose concentration, a lower insulin response and increased satiety will be seen after the Palaeolithic meals compared with a reference meal
