27 Jan 2020 --- Overweight adults following the Mediterranean, Intermittent Fasting (IF) and paleolithic (paleo) diets were able to lose excess weight, although adhering to the diets dropped off considerably during the one-year study, according to new research from the University of Otago, New Zealand. While the 250 participants lost 2-4 kg on average, those choosing the fasting or Mediterranean diets also demonstrated clinically significant improvements in blood pressure. The study reveals that people following self-chosen diets with little supervision can still have realistic, health-positive outcomes.
