“We have discovered that people follow a diet for a while and then they give up. Then regain all the weight, sometimes even more. That’s because there is little variety in foods or the diet has many restrictions.

We have created the diet with the largest variety of delicious foods that gives the consumer great satiety without excluding any food group.”

A new extensive European diet study was headed by researchers from Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE) at University of Copenhagen on a total of 1765 people, in 772 families, comprising 938 adult family members and 827 children. This makes it the largest controlled random study in the world. The study was conducted by eight European research centers, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Greece, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic.

The objective of the study has been to compare the latest knowledge about the importance of proteins and carbohydrates for appetite regulation. The study thereby confronts the official dietary recommendations and concludes that they are not sufficient for preventing weight gain.

The 938 overweight adults initially followed the diet for eight weeks, losing an average of 11 kg (25 pounds). They were then randomly assigned to one of five different low-fat diet types which they followed for six months in order to test which diet was most effective at preventing weight regain. Throughout the project, the families received expert guidance from dietitians and were asked to provide blood and urine samples.

Overweight children lose weight without going on a diet

In the families, there were 827 children who only participated in the diet intervention. Thus, they were never required to go on a diet or count calories – they simply followed the same diet as their parents. Approx. 45% of the children in these families were overweight.

"It's simply due to satiety - of what gives a feeling of more fullness."

"You simply stop eating after you have consumed fewer calories than with other diets."

“There are foods that the body takes longer to digest, resulting in blood glucose levels rising and dropping more gradually. It is also highly recommended for diabetics. ”

"This diet is far away from Atkins." Dr. Arne Astrup

While 50 per cent of calories come from protein under Atkins, in this diet the percentage is just 23 per cent, meaning you get more protein and less calories. And while under 'low-carb' Atkins as little as 10 per cent of calories come from carbohydrates, in this diet the figure was 45 per cent.

“Not being hungry makes it generally easy for individuals to eat nutritious, satisfying foods that guarantees weight loss.” Dr. Arne Astrup
