Unfortunately, this study did not measure any relevant clinical outcomes, such as weight loss

This study reports that subjects who consumed thlylakoids (a spinach extract) had reduced hunger, increased satiety, reduced cravings for snacks, and other purely subjective measures. There was no reported improvement in clinically important outcomes, such as: actual weight loss; body fat composition; waist-to-hip ratio; lipid profile; blood sugar levels, and so on. It is common knowledge that consuming French pastries also reduces hunger, increases satiety and reduces cravings for snacks. What is needed is an intervention proven to reduce subjective cravings for food while promoting actual weight loss and other outcomes which directly affect health. This study does not present any clinical evidence to support the authors' recommendation that thylakoids be used as a food supplement.
