New developments could allow people to eat and lose weight

"Scientists are working to develop foods that slow down the digestive system and make the body feel full. The foods being developed by Peter Wilde and colleagues at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England will help trigger a signal to the brain that suppresses appetite. 'That fools you into thinking you've eaten far too much when you really haven't,' said Wilde. From his studies on fat digestion, he said it should be possible to make foods, from bread to yogurts, that make it easier to diet. Doctors see great potential in the use of these foods in the fight against obesity"
