Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Mediterranean Diet be made gluten-free?

Yes, it is possible to adapt the Mediterranean diet to be gluten free. Rather than using whole-grain sources of carbohydrates such as wheat or barley, gluten-free grains such as millet and quinoa can be incorporated into meals. This diet should include a lot of fruits such as melon, pears, fresh veggies, legumes and nuts. People who are gluten-intolerant or have difficulty digesting dairy products may be able to benefit from lactose free options. Another option is to have porridge instead.

Can I use regular olive oil instead of extra virgin olive oil?

Extra virgin olive oil is not recommended for Mediterranean cuisine. Regular olive oil can be used in place of extra virgin. 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 to make everyday meals such as stir-frying or roasting vegetables. This olive oil has a lower price than EVOO. However, some believe that it is better suited for higher heat applications like 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.

What is a Mediterranean breakfast?

A Mediterranean breakfast would include a combination protein, healthy oil, and carbohydrates. Options can range from eggs cooked in olive oil with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad, Greek yogurt or cheese served with whole-grain toast, or quinoa porridge topped with fresh fruits, nuts, and seeds. Avocado toast with tomatoes, feta cheese and honey is a great option for breakfast. You can start your day with Mediterranean-inspired proteins like wild-caught fish, grassfed meat, organic eggs, and nuts. Choose nutritious carbohydrates such as whole grains like quinoa and oats; limit sugar by opting for fresh fruits instead of sweetened yogurts or cereals; add healthy fats to your meal such as avocado, extra virgin olive oil, olives, and coconut oil; and supplement your breakfast with some green tea for added antioxidants.

What foods are not permitted on a Mediterranean-style 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. Although these foods are fine to eat occasionally, they can cause problems for your health if you eat them regularly.

On a Mediterranean diet, whole-grain breads and starches like white bread, sugary grains, and other highly processed baked goods are prohibited. These items are rapidly absorbed as sugars into your system and can cause weight increase over time. These products are not as rich in vitamins and minerals than whole grain alternatives like quinoa, millet, or barley.

Other sugars fall under this category too. Limit your intake of sweetened beverages, such as soda, tea with added sugars, or juices. These won't help you manage weight, or provide healthy nutrient profiles.

When it comes to meats, red meats and processed meats should not be included in any version of a Mediterranean-style meal plan. Red meats as well as processed meats are high in saturated fats. This raises the risk of heart disease and other metabolic syndrome-related illnesses. Processed lunchmeat products contain nitrates that may increase cancer risks due to their association with cell damage responses throughout the body's cells. Dairy products should not also be consumed frequently as some cheeses contain significant amounts of saturatedfats. However, feta and skimmed milk are better options than heavy cream and creme fraiche alternatives.

According to nutrition experts, fish shouldn't be consumed more than three times per day.

Is the Mediterranean Diet expensive?

The Mediterranean diet is usually affordable, and includes easily accessible and affordable ingredients. You can find many staple foods at your local farmers' market or grocery store. It can be costly to buy organic products, higher-quality proteins, and special items such as extra Virgin Olive Oil. Therefore, make sure to have a budget and plan your meals accordingly. You can also save money by using leftovers and bulk freezing food items such as fish and grains.
