The effects of two weeks of overfeeding with peanut butter modified with cylodextrins on body composition and metabolism: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, pilot trial

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of a hypercaloric diet with regular peanut butter (HC + RPB) versus a hypercaloric diet with modified cyclodextrin based peanut butter (HC + MPB) on body composition and metabolism. The study was a crossover design using 6 healthy male subjects. Fat mass significantly increased from Pre- to Post-Test in the HC + RPB condition (p MPB condition. Additionally, the relative Pre-Test to Post-Test percent change was significantly greater in HC + RPB (p Keywords: Overfeeding, Fat Gain, Obesity, Modified Cylodextrins, Metabolism.
