Gisborne trial reveals weight loss from plant-based diet
With the highest obesity and Type 2 Diabetes rates in the country, Gisborne has been subject of successful new dietary study.
MEDICAL research published this week in Nutrition & Diabetes journal shows Gisborne participants lost an average 11.5kg in one year, the largest weight loss of any randomised control trial where participants had no restriction on calories and did not have to exercise.
The participants of the BROAD study, patients at City Medical, swapped their standard fare for a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) diet.
