Join us and hear from Prof Pete Wilde Dr Alan Mackie Dr Frances Bligh, Prof Tim Foster, IFR IFR Unilever University of Nottingham Obesity is a global public health challenge. In UK alone, over 60% of the adult population are overweight or obese. This is largely caused by a combination of overconsumption and a sedentary lifestyle. In most people this leads to a long term weight gain as they age. Treating obesity and its associated conditions costs the NHS up to £6bn per year and is rising. Controlling appetite has been shown to be a critical factor to help individuals control energy intake and hence maintain a healthy body weight. Therefore there has been increased interest in the development of foods which reduce appetite and prolong satiety. However, more research is still required to fully understand how different foods contribute to appetite reduction.
