My parents went to Venice and all over Greece a short while back. They said the diet was high in fats and oils, a decent bit of protein, and light veggies. They said it was super rich food and that if they ate like that back home, they would have gained 10 lbs in a month.
However they lost weight because they had to walk everywhere and everything is up and down hills and stairs. That's the biggest difference. Exercise
