NEW
YORK, Sept. 10, 2024 /CNW/ - A recent study
conducted by the Nutrition & Metabolic Health Initiative at
Texas Tech University revealed that a
meal containing, Borealis Foods' (NASDAQ: BRLS) Chef Woo's
high-protein ramen noodles significantly reduces caloric intake at
the next meal. This exciting research offers promising implications
for weight management and dietary planning.
The research, overseen by Dr. Nikhil
Dhurandhar, the distinguished Chair of the Department of
Nutritional Sciences at Texas Tech
University, was conducted as a randomized, double-blind,
crossover trial involving 25 participants aged 25 to 45 years with
BMIs ranging from 20 to 30 kg/m2. Following an overnight fast, each
participant consumed two distinct breakfast options on separate
days:
- High-Protein Chef Woo Ramen: 320 calories with 20 grams
of protein.
- Standard Protein Ramen: 311 calories with 6 grams of
protein.
Three hours after breakfast, participants were offered a variety
of lunch options. The results were clear:
- Caloric Reduction: Participants ate about 10% fewer
calories at lunch after consuming the high-protein ramen
breakfast.
- Fat and Sodium Intake: Reductions in fat (5 grams) and
sodium (214 milligrams) were also significant (about 10%).
The findings suggest that consumption of high-protein meals like
Chef Woo Ramen lead to reduced energy intake during the next meal,
which may contribute to weight loss if included in a long-term
diet.
Reza Soltanzadeh, CEO of Borealis
Foods, expressed his enthusiasm about the study's implications: "We
are thrilled with the results of the recent study, which highlight
the strength of our IP and food science expertise. By confirming
that consumption of our products helps reduce calorie intake and
can support weight management, the findings open up exciting
opportunities for Borealis Foods to venture into new product
categories, furthering our commitment to innovation and excellence
in delivering the highest quality nutritious foods."
Chef Woo combines healthy ingredients, including complete
proteins and essential amino acids, with exceptional flavors that
appeal to a wide range of palates. The results of this recent study
are prompting a reevaluation of conventional dietary choices,
advocating for high-protein options like Chef Woo that not only
satisfy hunger more effectively but also contribute to long-term
health benefits, making them a smarter choice for those seeking
both nutrition and taste. With the current push by food companies,
such as Nestlé and PepsiCo to create products mimicking the
appetite-reducing effects of medications like Ozempic, Chef Woo
stands out as a natural, food-based alternative that aligns with
modern dietary goals.
Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar added,
"Generally, long-term adherence to lower calorie diets for weight
loss is challenging due to hunger. Whereas, higher protein
containing foods can increase satiety and significantly reduce
calorie intake and body weight. This study highlights the
importance of incorporating higher-protein foods like Chef Woo
Instant Ramen into diets, which may help in weight
management."
