Mediterranean Diet Beats Western Diet for Weight Loss

New Study Shows Mediterranean Diet May Be Better for Weight Loss Than Western Diet

People who followed a Mediterranean diet lost more weight than those who followed a Western diet, according to a new study. The study was published in the journal Nutrients.

The Mediterranean diet is a plant-based diet that is high in healthy fats and low in processed foods. The Western diet, on the other hand, is high in processed foods, unhealthy fats, and sugar. The researchers found that people who followed the Mediterranean diet lost an average of 10 pounds more than those who followed the Western diet.

The study included over 500 people who were overweight or obese. The participants were randomly assigned to follow either the Mediterranean diet or the Western diet for one year. The researchers found that the people who followed the Mediterranean diet lost an average of 15 pounds, while the people who followed the Western diet lost an average of 5 pounds.

The researchers also found that the people who followed the Mediterranean diet had lower levels of cholesterol and blood sugar than those who followed the Western diet. The researchers say that the results of their study suggest that the Mediterranean diet may be a good option for people who are looking to lose weight and improve their health.
