Abstract
A method of suppressing appetite which comprises ingesting an amount of 20-60 grams effective to suppress appetite of a granulated dietetic foodstuff having a low rate of decomposition in the digestive tract consists essentially of a dried mixture of fat-free or low fat milk curds and casein in a dry solids ratio of about 1:1 to about 1:5, and having a particle size between about 0.5 and 5 mm, which is prepared by a process which comprises the steps of incorporating 2-5 parts of casein into 6 parts of moist milk curds; allowing the mixture to stand for a period of time sufficient to bind the excess water in the curds by swelling of the casein; whereby formation of a granulated and dried product is facilitated compared to milk curds alone.
