This study will systematically investigate the effects of a diet with decreased energy density, reduced glycaemic index, and significantly increased dietary fibre, on post-prandial glycaemic response, satiety, gastrointestinal tolerability and gut microbiota composition and function in individuals with excess body weight (Body Mass Index (BMI) 25-35kg/m2). Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesise that a diet enriched in fibre will be beneficial to post-prandial glycaemic response, well tolerated and satiating, as compared to the standard Western-style diet.

Impact of a fibre-enriched diet on glycaemic control
Timeframe: Assessments will be conducted continuously over each 8-day intervention period
Differences in participant reported satiety when consuming the fibre-enriched diet compared to the matched control diet
Timeframe: Throughout each 8-day intervention period assessed at specific time points during the day (e.g. pre- and post-meal consumption)
