Liquid ingestible compositions that can include one or more alginate anionic soluble fibers and one or more pectin anionic soluble fibers are also provided. Methods for making ingestible compositions are provided, as well as methods for using the ingestible compositions, e.g., to induce satiety or to increase the viscosity of stomach contents. |
