Crop & Food Research has almost completed a new website that will deliver scientifically-proven weight management advice to New Zealanders. The advice encapsulates scientific research with regard to slow energy-release foods and how they can contribute to a healthy diet.

A method of distributing this information via the web was trialled by Crop & Food Research last year. All participants in the web trial were encouraged to eat sustained energy foods such as whole grains and legumes to curb hunger. The results of the trial were very encouraging and the website is now going through its final test before going ‘live’.
