Participant Flow

The enrollment period was 11/2012 - 6/2013. The enrollment took place in a private setting the clinic located at the site.

Twenty subjects completed a general recruitment questionnaire were recruited. They were categorized based on their score on the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire with score greater than 2 defined as high restraint eaters, and 2 or less defined as low restraint eaters. First Intervention was broccoli, second was cauliflower and third was spinach.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 day

Population: One female low restraint eater produced irregular data that was removed from analysis population. One male high restraint eater data was removed too to obtain equal number.

Vegetable intake (grams) was measured while ingesting using an Universal Eating Monitor integrating a hidden weighing apparatus with specialized data collection software to analyze human eating.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure	Vegetable Intake With and Without Spices n=18 Participants The amount of vegetable consumed with or without spices.	Broccoli Intake Among Low Restraint Eaters Broccoli intake with or without spices in low restraint eaters.
Differences Between Plain and Spiced Vegetables Intake Broccoli without spice	134.1 gram Standard Deviation 104.0	—
Differences Between Plain and Spiced Vegetables Intake Broccoli with spice	212.5 gram Standard Deviation 155.3	—
Differences Between Plain and Spiced Vegetables Intake Cauliflower without spice	204.8 gram Standard Deviation 159.2	—
Differences Between Plain and Spiced Vegetables Intake Cauliflower with spice	178.1 gram Standard Deviation 119.9	—
Differences Between Plain and Spiced Vegetables Intake Spinach without spice	146.0 gram Standard Deviation 167.9	—
Differences Between Plain and Spiced Vegetables Intake Spinach with spice	118.7 gram Standard Deviation 105.2	—

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 day

Twenty subjects were categorized based on their score on the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire with score greater than 2 defined as high restraint (HR), and 2 or less defined as low restraint (LR) eaters.
