Abstract in brief

This pilot study explored how drinking a hot ginger beverage affects energy expenditure, feelings of hunger and fullness, and metabolic risk factors in overweight men, finding that ginger increased the thermic effect of food and reduced hunger without changing metabolic or hormonal parameters.
The study involved 10 overweight men who consumed a breakfast with or without ginger, and measurements showed ginger boosted post-meal calorie burn related to food, as well as decreasing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness, but did not significantly change resting energy expenditure or blood markers like glucose and lipids.
Overall, these findings suggest ginger might help with weight management by enhancing calorie burn after eating and promoting satiety, although further research is needed to confirm these effects and understand long-term impacts.
