Dieting with Olive Oil
Just dieting with olive oil is not the answer to losing weight. As far as fats go though, olive oil is an excellent choice because of all the health benefits it provides,
The idea of dieting with olive oil has gained popularity because of all the media hype in recent years about the Mediterranean diet. As far as fats go, it's an excellent choice because of all the other health benefits it provides. Dieting with olive oil is not the answer to losing weight, but it is a step in the right direction. Olive oil, like any other edible oil is fat. It has 120 calories per tablespoon just as other oils do. Use virgin olive oil in place of lard, butter and other oils because it has superior flavour, is high in vitamin E, polyphenols, mono-unsaturated fat, and is unrefined.
Olive oil is a big part of it, but the Mediterranean diet consists of twice as much fresh fruit and vegetables, more legumes, nuts, unrefined cereals, and alcohol, but less saturated fat. Read more on the
