History
Mediterranean Diet
The new Mediterranean diet, have a diet with flavor. The Mediterranean diet consists of eating fruit, vegetables, bread, wheat, olive oil and fish. These are all foods we love and because of the variety, you can eat almost anything you want. The main positive to this diet is that you are able to eat things that have nutrition but also flavor. There are diets these days where you eat food with little or no taste and powdered shakes but this diet will not take away from your ability to enjoy the food you eat while loosing weight. This diet unlike the Atkins diet is low in saturated fat and so the risks of any heart problems are very low. This diet also is not very expensive because of the range of foods sold in stores these days. It costs very little as long as you shop at the very expensive places. This diet is also sustainable because you can get all of the things you need from this diet in Mother Nature. I believe a good diet is to have a little bit of everything and so this diet is very logical.
The great aspect of the Mediterranean diet is that in a lot of their food they use olive oil, which lowers cholesterol. The fruits and grain that are a big part of this diet is also great because it lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels. The benefits of the Mediterranean diet also include the consumption of wine because wine has many powerful antioxidants. Some people say that there are not enough calcium and iron but green vegetables and gout cheese are a very good source of calcium and iron. Another great thing about olive oil is the amount of vitamins included for example A, B-1, B-2, C, D, E and K, which is found in iron.
The accessibility is great because all stores carry fruits, vegetables, olive oil, bread, fish, cheese though you might not always be able to find wine you can get it very cheap and great tasting as long as you don't want the high quality one. Most of these products are both cheap and found in all grocery stores. The Mediterranean diet I believe is not that hard as long as you follow the guidelines like do not eat too much red meat, you can eat what you want and still get thinner of course you also must exercise also.
