A Mediterranean-Style Diet Plan Is Associated with Greater Effectiveness and Sustainability in Weight Loss in Patients with Obesity after Endoscopic Bariatric Therapy.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of a Mediterranean-style diet on weight loss effectiveness and sustainability in patients with obesity who underwent endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBT), relative to a protein diet plan. Thus, 132 patients with obesity (BMI 30-40 kg/m) who underwent EBT, were asked to follow a Mediterranean-style diet plan ( = 52) or a protein diet plan ( = 26) for six months. General linear models were used to compare outcome variables between dietary intervention groups.
