Introduction: It is essential to determine which snack foods are most affective for appetite control. The objective of the current study was to assess the responses of two different cookies on satiety and cardiovascular risk factors. Material and Methods: 38 patients were randomized: group I (FOS enriched cookie, n=19) and group II (control cookie, n=19). Previous and after 1 month , the subjects rated their feelings of satiety/hunger with a test meal of 5 cookies. Results: After the test meal, the basal area under curve of the first hunger/satiety score was higher with satiety cookie than with control cookie, the data after 1 month of treatment was higher with satiety cookie than with control cookie, too. The score was higher than the fasting level for 20 minutes with satiety cookie and for 40 minutes with the same cookie, too. In satiety group, these scores (20 min and 40 min) were higher than control group before and after 1 month of treatment. The results were in the same way with the 100 mm 5-point visual satiety scale. Cardiovascular risk factors and dietary intake remained unchanged after dietary intervention. Conclusion: A FOS enriched cookie produced greater ratings of satiety than a control cookie, without effects on cardiovascular risk factors or dietary intakes.
