The 21-day study included patients of both sexes older than 18 years, divided into 2 groups of 30 people. The first group included patients who received the drug at 1 sachet (5 g) in the evening, the second - who received the drug at 1 sachet 3 times a day (15 g). In the first group, the average age was 53.95 ± 2.43 years, BMI - 33.35 ± 1.02 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. In the second ones the average age was 58.28 ± 2.07 years, BMI - 36, 14 ± 1.13 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Prior to treatment, eating disorders were observed in both groups, mainly of the restricted and external type.</p> <p><strong>Results.</strong> After the treatment, we found a probable decrease in the HOMA-IR index in the group receiving 15 g of fiber. In both groups, the addition to the diet of dietary fiber in the form of guar gum in a dose of both 5 g and 15 g per day for 21 days normalizes the eating behavior, namely restrictive, emotional and external type. The use of dietary fiber can be recommended as a set of measures to lose weight in patients with high body mass index and insulin resistance, as well as to normalize eating behavior.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Problems of Endocrine Pathology}, author={Жердьова, Надія and Степура, Олена and Костіцька, Ірина and Мазій, Світлана}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={20-26} }
