Table 1 Effect of Paleolithic diet compared to Mediterranean diet on individual mean measures of satiety (group mean ± SD)

	Paleolithic diet	Mediterranean diet	P*
	(n = 13)	(n = 14)
Time between meals (hours:minutes)	03:21 ± 00:58	03:25 ± 00:48	0,8
Meals per day	4,7 ± 0,9	4,5 ± 0,9	0,6
Energy from food and drink per meal (MJ)	1,2 ± 0,6	1,7 ± 0,4	0,02
Energy from food and drink per day (MJ)	5,8 ± 2,6	7,6 ± 1,2	0,04
Weight of food and drink per meal (g)**	315 ± 132	372 ± 83	0,2
Weight of food and drink per day (g)**	1493 ± 607	1649 ± 273	0,4
Satiety at meal initiation (RS)	-1,0 ± 0,8	-1,0 ± 0,5	1,0
Satiety 30 minutes after meal initiation (RS)	1,6 ± 0,7	1,7 ± 0,3	0,7
Change in satiety during meal (RS)	2,6 ± 1,0	2,6 ± 0,6	0,9
Quotient of mean change in satiety during meal and mean weight of food and drink per meal (RS/kg)**	9,9 ± 5,6	7,3 ± 1,6	0,12
Quotient of mean change in satiety during meal and mean energy from food and drink per meal (RS/MJ)	2,5 ± 1,3	1,6 ± 0,5	0,03
Satiety Quotient for weight (RS/kg)**	11,3 ± 6,8	9,9 ± 4,9	0,5
Satiety Quotient for energy (RS/MJ)	2,7 ± 1,4	1,8 ± 0,7	0,057

Satiety estimated with rating scale used to assess subjective satiety from 4 day weighed food records started 15 ± 5 days after initiating dietary change. *P for difference between diets in a two-sided t-test with independent samples. **Excluding weight of table water. Measures of subjective satiety in Rating Scale units (RS). Satiety Quotient is the intra-meal quotient of change in satiety during meal and consumed energy or weight of food and drink for that specific meal.
