The Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean Diet


Exactly what is the Mediterranean diet and can it help you
lose weight? There actually is no 'Mediterranean' diet -
it's a compilation of the way that people in the countries
surrounding the Mediterranean Sea eat.

Despite the differences in actual specifics, all of those
studied based their diets on the same proportions of food
groups and calories, and all included olive oil as their
main source of fat.

In fact, their diets contained far more than the recommend-
actions made by the USDA - 40% rather than the 30% recommended
for most healthy Americans. Still, the evidence was irrefutable.
Therefore, it must have been the KIND of carbohydrates and
fats that make the difference.

The Mediterranean diet consists of the following guidelines:

60% Of Total Carbohydrates From Grains, Fruits And Vegetables

Sparing Use of Red Meat, Fish And Poultry

Olive Oil
