The use of gelatin for weight loss, including its effects on appetite suppression and weight maintenance.
Dr. Jennifer Ashton has been repeatedly identified by multiple reports as a target of deceptive “gelatin trick” and LipoLess weight‑loss ads and — according to those reports — has publicly pushed back...
Randomized clinical trials provide some evidence that specific collagen or gelatin preparations can produce modest reductions in body weight or fat mass in defined populations—mostly older adults or p...
Clinical trial evidence directly supporting gelatin’s short‑term appetite effects exists, but larger trials show no durable weight‑maintenance benefit; the broader “gelatin trick” formula promoted by ...
Peer‑reviewed human studies on gelatin or collagen for appetite control and weight outcomes exist but are few, often small, and report mixed results: some trials find increased satiety hormones or red...
Clinical trials and human feeding studies show that gelatin and some collagen formulations can increase short‑term feelings of fullness and alter appetite hormones like GLP‑1, leptin and ghrelin in so...
The peer‑reviewed clinical-trial evidence for gelatin supplements producing sustained weight loss is sparse and unimpressive: a controlled 2010 trial found short‑term appetite suppression with gelatin...
Short-term human trials and mechanistic studies show gelatin/collagen can increase feelings of fullness and stimulate appetite-regulating hormones after a meal, which can reduce calorie intake in the ...
There is no credible evidence that Kelly Clarkson used or endorsed a product called “gelatide” (or the viral gelatin/gummy “jello” weight‑loss trick); multiple fact‑checks and reporting identify alter...
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing collagen or gelatin supplements for body‑composition or weight outcomes in adults exist but are relatively few, heterogeneous in population and protocol, an...
Sugar‑free gelatin that uses low‑ or no‑calorie sweeteners generally produces smaller acute rises in blood glucose and insulin than sugar‑sweetened versions in short controlled tests, but effects vary...
Randomized trials directly testing gelatin preloads against other protein sources show consistent short‑term appetite suppression with gelatin in small crossover studies, but longer randomized trials ...
Gelatin-based pre‑meal preparations typically pair unflavored gelatin with one or more bioactive additives—apple cider vinegar, green tea extract (and its caffeine/EGCG), berberine, ginger, cinnamon, ...
