A member asked:

Does mediterranean food make a good diet for weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: It depends on how much you eat. To lose weight you need to achieve negative caloric balance, i.e., burn more calories than you take in. Reduce your intake, and exercise more(easier said than done).
