Marinated black olives
Published January/February 2002
(NAPSA) - New research from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School has found that a moderate-fat diet (35 percent of calories from fat) may be more effective than a low-fat diet (20 percent of calories from fat) for people who wish to lose weight.The moderate-fat diet is based on the benefits of the traditional Mediterranean diet, where obesity levels are far lower than they are in the United States. In addition to having better weight-loss results, people on a moderate-fat diet are also more likely to stick with the program, as it allows for better-tasting foods like bright vegetables, fruits and monounsaturated fats such as those found in olives.
A flavorful example is California Black Ripe Olives, which make a terrific, healthful anytime snack. Four large olives have just 25 calories, with 2.5 grams of fat. You can keep a chilled can in the refrigerator for when you want a quick nosh, or dress them up to serve at a party. This tasty recipe is great for entertaining by providing a simple and fast appetizer. All you need is a can opener and a couple of minutes.
