\"\"<\/a>It is important to say it again: Pace Controls Portions<\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n

This simple principle can be found in the healthy habits of the <\/span>Mediterranean people, and has been replicated in this study published in the British Medical Journal<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Over 3,000 Japanese volunteers (aged from 30 to 69) were <\/span>asked about about their eating behaviors. About half of the men and a little more than half of the women said they ate until full. About 45 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women said they ate quickly. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Result?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Those who ate until full and ate quickly were three times more likely <\/em>to be fat than people who did not, the researchers found. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The Mediterranean diet is more than just the food pyramind. It is more than just the assembly of foods you can eat because, if you overconsume your foods — whether they are modified food products (low fat, low carb, etc), you will gain weight. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The reason our Mediterranean approach works, then, is because it combines healthy foods with the healthy behaviors that limit their consumption. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
