PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and compositions for weight control and glycemic control.SOLUTION: The present invention provides methods, compositions and processed foods and foodstuffs useful for weight control and glycemic control. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of inducing weight loss, maintaining weight or enhancing or providing glycemic control in a subject, comprising a step of orally administering prior to or during a meal to the subject an edible polymer hydrogel which swells in the stomach and/or the small intestine. The edible polymer hydrogel is preferably administered in an amount sufficient to slow gastric emptying and absorption of carbohydrates and fats in the small intestine.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】体重管理用および血糖管理用の方法および組成物の提供。【解決手段】本発明は、体重管理および血糖管理に役立つ方法、組成物、並びに加工食物および食品を提供する。一実施形態において、本発明は食前または食事中に胃および／または小腸内で膨潤する食用ポリマーヒドロゲルを経口投与するステップを含む、被験者における減量の惹起、体重の維持、血糖コントロールの強化または提供方法を提供する。好ましくは、胃排出および小腸での炭水化物や脂肪の吸収を遅らせるに十分な量の食用ポリマーヒドロゲルを投与する。【選択図】なし
