At Paleovsketo, we believe this starts with being aware of all the ingredients and sources in what we consume daily.

By understanding how our diet works together with our lifestyle and habits, we can begin the journey to better health.

It's not just about eating the right food; it's also about developing positive behaviors for lasting changes.

The key is basically learning to trust yourself and your intuition when it comes to deciding what’s best for your body.

For example, instead of trying a certain trend because everyone else is doing it or looking at calorie counts on packaging labels while shopping, focus on maintaining an overall healthy mindset and getting into the habit of aiming for a wholesome diet made up of mostly whole foods.

This will bring clarity around choosing better options no matter where you are or what’s available.

Ultimately, only you know what fits within your life and dietary needs - so have faith in yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main principles of the Mediterranean diet, and how can they be applied to your daily life?

Mediterranean living is a lifestyle that emphasizes healthy, nutritious food choices and regular exercise. This diet focuses on fruits, vegetables whole grains, legumes and healthy fats such olive oil and nuts. A moderate amount of dairy, meat, fish, and poultry is also encouraged. It encourages moderate consumption of red wines. These are the basic principles of the Mediterranean diet:

1. Eat primarily plant-based foods, including fruits and vegetables; whole-grain bread and cereals; beans (legumes), nuts, and seeds; healthy fats from olive oil and olives; small amounts of low-fat cheese; yogurt (preferably nonfat); fish (at least twice a week), small amounts of lean poultry or red meat about once per week; minimal fried foods.
2. It is better to choose fresh ingredients than pre-packaged, processed foods whenever possible.
3. For a rich flavor, use herbs over salt.
4. You can incorporate physical activity into your day, such as going for a walk after dinner and taking part in a class.
5. Enjoy sharing meals with friends and family, and enjoy the joy of eating together.
6. Practice mindful eating by paying attention to your food's flavors, textures, and smells. This will enable you to recognize when you're full and satisfied.

What foods aren't allowed in a Mediterranean diet

The Mediterranean diet does not include certain food groups such as processed foods and unhealthy fats. For the health benefits associated this dietary style, some foods shouldn't even be eaten. Even though these items can be part of a healthy eating plan, consistent consumption can negate the potential health benefits.

Whole-grain bread and starches, such as white bread, sugary cereals, and other highly processed baked goods, are forbidden on a Mediterranean eating plan. These items are quickly absorbed into your system as sugars and may lead to blood sugar spikes that cause weight gain over time. These items are also less nutritious than whole grain options such as millet or quinoa.

Other forms of sugar fall into this category as well; limit your intake of sweetened drinks - including soda, tea with added sugars, and juices - as these won't support weight management or healthy nutrient profiles.

It is best to avoid red meats and processed foods in Mediterranean-style meal plans. Red meats and processed foods are high in saturated fats, which raises cholesterol levels and increases the risk of developing heart disease. Nitrates found in processed lunchmeat can raise cancer risks because they are linked to cell damage responses and may be harmful to cells. Dairy products should not be eaten regularly because some cheeses contain a lot of saturated fats. Other than feta, feta is low in saturated fat.

According to nutrition experts, fish should not be eaten more than three times per week.

Can the Mediterranean Diet be gluten-free?

Yes, the Mediterranean Diet can be adapted to be gluten-free. Instead of using whole-grain carbohydrate sources like wheat and barley, you can incorporate gluten-free grains, such as millet (or quinoa), into your meals. As naturally gluten-free foods, fresh fruits such as melon, pear, beans, legumes or nuts should be included in the diet. For added protein sources such as dairy, choosing lactose-free products is sometimes beneficial for individuals intolerant to milk and gluten. For example, porridge can be substituted for oats and baked salmon with potatoes or bean soup as lunch. You could also roast vegetables with herbs for dinner.

What can I do to lose weight with the Mediterranean diet?

Yes, you can lose weight on the Mediterranean Diet. The Mediterranean diet is a focus on whole foods (vegetables, fruits, legumes) and high quality fats such as olive oil. This can help lower calories and provide essential nutrients to your overall health and wellbeing. To help lose weight, you can incorporate physical activity into your eating habits. Additionally, reducing highly processed foods, red meat consumption, and added sugars can help maintain a healthy weight over time if paired with the right mindset!

Can I use regular oil instead of extra Virgin Olive Oil?

You can substitute extra virgin olive oils for regular olive oil in the Mediterranean diet. Regular olive oil can still be used, even though Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), is more desirable for its superior quality and nutritional benefits. However, it is still possible to use regular olive oil due to its mild flavor. Regular olive oil can be used for daily meals such as stir-frying and roasting vegetables. This oil is cheaper than EVOO. Some even believe it can be used for higher heat applications, such as deep frying. It is important to remember that it doesn't contain as many nutrients or positive compounds than EVOO. Therefore, you should try to compensate for these benefits with other food items.
