This study examined the effects of the Mediterranean diet and exercise on body composition and eating behaviors in 20 adults with coronary heart disease. Participants were split into two groups - one received education on the Mediterranean diet, while the other received diet education and participated in an 8-week exercise program. Both groups saw decreases in total fat and fat mass after the intervention. The exercise group also saw a decrease in waist-to-height ratio. The conclusions were that the Mediterranean diet reduced saturated fat and carb intake, leading to reduced fat mass. The study provides further evidence that the Mediterranean diet and exercise can reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
