Researchers at the Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE), University of Copenhagen have published the results of the world's largest diet study, called called Diogenes.

Like anything obvious, the formula is simple but the application can be difficult for those who already have a weight problem; if you want to lose weight, you should maintain a diet that is high in proteins with more lean meat, low-fat dairy products and beans and fewer finely refined starch calories such as white bread and white rice.

Maintaining that diet, you can eat until you are full without counting calories and without gaining weight.

But that is not the whole story and the study notes that clearly official dietary recommendations are not sufficient for preventing obesity.

The large-scale random Diogenes study investigated the optimum diet composition for preventing and treating obesity and was conducted by eight European research centers and headed by Thomas Meinert Larsen, PhD, and Professor Arne Astrup, Head of Department at the Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE). Diogenes is funded by an EU grant of EUR 14.5 million and the results were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
