For
everyone who’s been on a diet themselves or
knows someone who’s been on a diet, you know how
bland the food can be sometimes. With foods like
rice cakes it’s no secret why you lose weight,
if the foods taste like carboard.
For everyone who’s had this experience there is
hope. You should look at the Mediterranean Diet.
The Mediterranean Diet isn’t a new fad or quick
loss weight scheme, in fact it’s been around for
over 40 years. However it’s taken science that
long to fugure out what it was and why it works.
The Mediterranean is a diverse region that is made
up of 16 countries along the Mediterranean Sea.
Countries like France, Spain, Italy and Greece
have diverse and different cultures. While the
foods are different on a nutritionally level they
share many similarities. They contain lots of
fresh fruits and vegetables. Wine is consumed in
moderate amounts daily. Eggs are consumed in
moderate amounts, and foods like poultry, fish and
dairy are consumed on a limited basis.
However as many nutritionists and scientists are
discovering one of the keys to the Mediterranean
Diet is the oils. Plant based oils are extensively
used throughout the region, with olive oil being
the most popular. Olive oil is a monounsaturated
fat, which means it’s good for the body and does
things like lower your cholesterol. Do to the rich
fats in the foods and those used in the cooking
the foods of the region are known for the full
rich textures and flavors that they have. In fact
it’s these fats which give the foods a luxurious
“mouth feel”. However eating foods rich in
fats is not without some sacrifices, as fats have
more than double the amount of calories of
similarly sized portions of protein or
carbohydrates. Learning to manage and control your
portions is a key aspect of anybody who wants to
follow the Mediterranean Diet.
