Researchers also wanted to examine whether candidates could bear eating material of prunes in diet, and whether it had a useful effect on appetite. The candidates who participated in this study and research were classified into two categories.
No. 1 persons who ate prunes regularly (at least 140 gm a day for men and for women it is 171 gm a day).
No. 2 For those persons who were advised on healthy meals over the time of active loss.
A result has showed that people who eat prunes or dried plums in their regular diet, able to reduce weight 2 kg and shed 2.5 cm off their waists, but persons who were advised for a healthy meal reduced only 1.5 kg and 1.7 cm from their waists.
The study also showed that eating prunes experienced greater weight-loss in the period of last 4 weeks of research. But after week 8, candidates have exhibited increased fondness in the prune group.
