Coffee and Agave Inulin Drink for Appetite Control in Obesity

This study aims to explore the effects of a new drink made from coffee and agave inulin on appetite, dietary habits, and health markers in people with obesity in Mexico. Obesity rates have been rising significantly in the country, and there is a need for effective interventions. Coffee is widely consumed in Mexico and has various health benefits, while agave inulin is known for its positive effects on gut health. This research seeks to determine if a beverage combining these ingredients can help control appetite and improve health, providing a healthier alternative to sugary drinks commonly consumed in Mexico. Participants in this trial will consume the experimental beverage or a placebo drink daily, 30 minutes before breakfast, over two separate two-week periods. The study uses a double-blind, randomized crossover design, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives which beverage during each period. There will be a two-week break between each phase to clear any lingering effects. Participants will attend six sessions at a designated hospital, where their appetite, food intake, and biochemical markers will be monitored and evaluated to assess the drink's impact.
