weight gain, Study says Mediterranean Diet linked to slow weight gain in later years
The Mediterranean Diet is gaining popularity and a new study conducted by Juan-Jose Beunza of the University of Navarra shows that the eating plan may help slow weight gain in later years. Juan-Jose Beunza shared the results of his study with Reuters news: Adherence to the Mediterranean diet, long-term weight change, and incident overweight or obesity Source
The Mediterranean Diet isn’t so much one basic eating plan or diet but rather an entire way of eating patterned after those who live in the Mediterranean region. The diet includes plenty of fish, fruits and vegetables, olive oil, red wine in moderation, whole grains and healthy fats in moderation. The diet is noticeably less in red meat and dairy products when compared to dietary practices in the United States.
The study attempted to show whether or not the high fat content and complex carbohydrates present in the Mediterranean Diet would contribute to weight gain. According to the report by Reuters, those who followed the Mediterranean Diet strictly were 10 percent less likely to become overweight or obese. The study, however, followed the dietary patterns of university graduates. It is unclear whether the same results would be attained by the general community.
