First, let's ditch the word "diet!" Eating the Mediterranean way is not a diet in the restrictive sense with a big list of "dos" and "don'ts."
It's a food philosophy focused on wholesome ingredients
bold flavors, celebration, and hospitality. It's about making healthier choices that honor your body and,
allow you to enjoy the long-term benefits of an active lifestyle with those you care about most.
Vegetables Greens Fruits
Whole Grains Beans Nuts Legumes
Lean Proteins Fish Poultry Dairy
Red Meats Sweets (sweets are often eliminated if you’re following a stricter Mediterranean diet)
This straightforward meal plan for the Mediterranean diet,
along with helpful pointers and simple dishes, is the ideal place to begin.
You can use it as a guide to help you design your own meals and savor the robust flavors of the Mediterranean.
