We evaluated whether Human Ration (HR), as part of a dietary energy restriction, may play a role in body weight control, dietary intake, body composition, bone health and blood pressure more than dietary energy restriction alone. Free-living, overweight and obese women (n=76, Body Mass Index (BMI) 25 to 45; aged 24-45) were randomized to receive one serving per day of a beverage containing HR (20g) or a placebo beverage (control), as part of a reduced energy (15% of Energy Estimated Requirements deficit) dietary program.
