Scan images reveal for the first time how weight is stored in the body, why low-fat is not always healthier and the one diet that is best.
Compared to a low-fat diet, eating Mediterranean foods with a minimal-carb intake for lunch just three times a week significantly reduces fat storage around the heart and liver, a study found.
After 18 months, adopting a diet rich in vegetables, fruit and nuts also significantly reduces people’s waist circumference, the research adds.
