Detailed Description

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

The condition of being overweight or obese has skyrocketed in recent decades, bringing with it many secondary health problems. Therefore, it is important to seek strategies to promote weight loss and to assist in weight maintenance after weight loss. Different diet compositions may have different effects on satiety and thus affect food choice. A pilot study will be conducted to determine if mixed nuts affect food selection and intake. Questionnaires will also be administered to determine if personality characteristics are also influencing food choice.
