Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Four diets: (1) WeetBix (47.3 g)
(2) WeetBix (47.3 g) + Kiwifruit (200 g)
(3) WeetBix (47.3 g) + Guar gum (10 g)
(4) WeetBix (47.3 g) + Guar gum (10 g) + kiwifruit (200 g)

Duration: Participants were given 15 minutes to consume each breakfast.
Frequency: Participants consumed each breakfast one morning a week, over a period of four weeks. Each breakfast (1-4) was only consumed once by each participant.

The wash out period was one week for each participant, and they were asked to fast for 12 hours before each trial, to eliminate the effects of other food on glucose levels.
