Weight seems to be beneficial for the heart-even if it is then returned. Diet will lose some benefits, but it seems that maintain higher good HDL cholesterol.
AssafRudich, MD, Professor of Health Sciences in Ben-Gurion University the Negev nuclear research center in Israel, said the research shows there may be a tunnel vision when it comes to weight loss diet.
He said that although maintaining ideal body weight is associated with better health, mild to quite obese individuals who adopt healthy eating habits receive benefits beyond weight loss such as elevating HDL cholesterol.
Researchers registered 322 participants in two years on a diet of Randomized Controlled intervention Trial (directly). Patients were randomly one of the three, including a healthy diet low in fat, low carbohydrate diet or the Mediterranean over the next two years.
