According to research, Mediterranean diet promotes sustainable weight loss by choosing nutrient-dense, whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil, and fish, instead of strict calorie counting. It can reduce belly fat and lower obesity risk by improving satiety, reducing inflammation, and regulating blood sugar. If you’re thinking about starting on a Mediterranean diet, leave the butter and choose olive oil instead. Abundant in antioxidants, vitamin E, and fatty acids, use it to season salads, fry, and toast – everything that needs some form of fat for seasoning or cooking.
