A new analysis of 121 diets revealed something that many experts have been saying for years: that strict diets don't work in the long term, except for the Mediterranean diet. Mediterranean Diet Is The Only Diet That Provides Long-Term Benefits, Study Finds After examining the diets of more than 21,000 people, a new analysis of around 121 strict diets revealed something experts have repeatedly said over the years: that the Most, if not all, of these strict diets are only beneficial for short-term purposes as they lose their health benefits the longer people follow them. Published in the British Medical Journal, the authors of the new article concluded that most of the 14 diets they studied are truly beneficial, and people who follow them experience an average loss of 10 pounds and improved blood pressure in just six months. Unfortunately, most of these benefits begin to wear off a year after starting the diet, and the reduced risk of heart disease returns to where it had been before the diet. However, research also revealed that there is one diet that stands out above all because it managed to maintain its benefits even after a year of following it: the Mediterranean diet. "The message is pretty clear. It doesn't really matter which diet you choose, the loss of weight you will gain is not much different. Diets, for most people, generally, do not work. Lowering blood pressure or bad cholesterol, for a period of time, say six months, will not make any difference in the long run if you come back to go up, "said Gordan Guyatt, author of the study and professor at McMaster University, said.However, he also said that, based on the results, the Mediterranean diet came out with a moderate victory in the study, as it managed to retain weight loss and reduced the risk of heart disease even after 12 months of following the diet.To that end, Guyatt also reiterated that he cannot offer any advice to people concerned about weight loss and that he certainly cannot recommend a diet for anyone. Health experts consider the Mediterranean diet to be one of the healthiest diets ever created, focusing on natural foods, primarily plants combined with healthy fats. Pixabay.
