Abstract
A packaged weight-control powder is provided as a food additive to be employed before eating. Each package includes a dose to be sprinkled on the foodstuff to be eaten. The powder is formed of a mixture of oat, wheat and corn brans mixed with pectin, guar gum psyllium and cutin. Mineral supplements are employed to replace those removed by the fibers of the brans. The powder is prepared in an atmosphere of less than 50% humidity and is packed in individual water-proof packages of relatively small size.
