    About Mediterranean diet

    The Mediterranean diet has been the top ranked diet for several consecutive years. However, it's important to know that it's more than a diet, it's a lifestyle followed by people of the Mediterranean region who tend to live longer and healthier lives.

    Mediterranean way of eating focuses on consuming more traditional ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, legumes and a moderate amount of fish, poultry and healthy fats such as olive oil. Moreover, it encourages people to be active and spend more time with their families and loves ones and share meals together which would reduce stress and make you feel better.

    What to eat

    When it comes to food, Mediterranean diet offers all the good things! From fresh fruit and vegetables to lean proteins such as chicken and seafood, this lifestyle is all for using real and wholesome ingredients and keeping it simple. Here is what you need to know about what to eat on the Mediterranean diet:

    • Use more olive oil: Instead of store-bought salad dressing, opt for some extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Use olive oil for cooking and roasting instead of vegetable oil.
    • Eat more vegetables and plant-based food: Ingredients such as legumes, whole grains, nuts, vegetables, fruit and leafy greens such as lettuce and spinach are consumed on a daily basis when following the Mediterranean diet.
    • Lean protein: Chicken, eggs, seafood and fish are the main protein to cook with.
    • Red meat and sweets: Red meat is used very occasionally in Mediterranean cooking, about once a week or even less, and usually lean cuts of meat or ground meat is consumed. As for sweets, an occasional dessert is all fine.
    • Leave out: Sugary drinks and sodas and processed food with too many unnecessary ingredients.
