About this ebook
What Is The Mediterranean Diet And Why Should I Be Following It?
There are numerous diets on the market that advocate a diet that is either restrictive in the amount of calories a person eats or specifically excludes a certain type of nutrient. The goal of the typical “fad diet” is usually always weight loss – and some of them are even successful, at least in the short term. So what is the Mediterranean Diet and how is it different?
There are two things that fad diets usually have in common. They are usually not effective as a long term approach to how you should be eating and instead provide a short term solution whose results are almost always fleeting. How many people do you know that have lost 20 pounds from their “latest diet” only to put that weight back on, with interest, soon after discontinuing the diet?
The other thing these diets have in common is that they usually have as their single goal weight loss. They focus on calorie restriction or nutrient selection as a means to achieve weight loss, and are not necessarily focused on good long term health.

This book will explain aspects of this diet in addition to offering recipe suggestions for each meal of the day!

Chapter: 1 Why the Mediterranean Diet?
The Mediterranean diet is not just a diet but also a way of life. For many years, its consideration as a healthy diet prompted extensive research from scientists and the revelations will delight you. Fresh fruits and vegetables make the main base of this diet with occasional traces of meat and fish. The distinguishing factor of this diet from others is its emphasis on vegetables and fruits, but one can still eat fish and meat. It features a limitless variety of foods including legumes, cereals, fruits, whole grains and specifically excludes processed foods. What are the benefits of the Mediterranean diet?
