Consuming a so-called green Mediterranean diet enriched with plant-based polyphenols and reduced red and processed meats more than triples the loss of intra-abdominal, visceral adipose tissue compared with merely following health dietary guidelines. The green Med diet doubles the belly fat loss compared with a standard Mediterranean diet.
These findings stem from an international collaborative study of 286 subjects 88% of whom were men. The green Mediterranean diet was polyphenol-enriched by the addition of green tea and green shake drinks.
Following either Mediterranean diet led to a modest weight loss, 2.7% for the standard variety and 3.9% for the green supplemented variety. The effect of which diet the subjects followed was more significant on the loss of visceral adipose tissue. Those on a standard, healthy diet lost 4.2%, on a Mediterranean diet lost 6%, but those on the green Mediterranean diet dropped 14%.
