A Mediterranean and low-carb diet has the longest, healthiest effects on wellbeing, even if you pack the pounds back on afterward, an Israeli study shows.
Such a diet, rich in the bounty of Mediterranean-hugging countries, includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, fish and poultry, and features olive oil as a main ingredient.
According to researchers from Ben-Gurion University in the Negev, along with Israel's Nuclear Research Center, adhering to such low-carb regimens provides a beneficial metabolic effect, lowering the levels of bad cholesterol, triglycerides and limiting arteriosclerosis.
The study, published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine, was a follow-up for a period of six years over 322 moderately obese research subjects who were given three kinds of diets: low-fat; restricted-calorie; Mediterranean, restricted-calorie; or low-carbohydrate, non-restricted-calorie.
The results suggested that the lipid profile improved in the long term, regardless of partial weight gain after the diet was concluded.
