Overweight

Obesity

Subjects in the Med-D group will be assigned a personalized diet prepared on the basis of own eating habits as established by 7-d food diary recalls. Energy values of habitual diets will be kept unchanged during Med-D intervention. Briefly, Med-D will be prepared so as to achieve a weekly consumption of:
7 portions of milk or yogurt plus whole grain cereals,
7 portions of nuts (30g)
At least 3 portion of absolute legumes
14 portions of vegetables
21 portions of fruit
4 portions of whole grain pasta
3 portions of whole grain pasta with vegetables or legumes
7 portions of whole grain bread
3 portions of fish
Extravirgin olive oil as unique source of discretional fats All subjects will be requested not to change physical activity levels during the 8 week intervention period.

Mediterranean diet

Control subjects will not change their habitual diet during intervention. All subjects will be requested not to change physical activity levels during the 8 week intervention period.
