Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Mediterranean Diet be made gluten-free?
Yes, it is possible to adapt the Mediterranean diet 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. Additionally, fruits like melon and pears, fresh vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds are naturally gluten-free options that should feature heavily in this diet. If you are intolerant to dairy or milk, it is possible to opt for lactose-free products. Other ideas include making porridge for breakfast instead of oatmeal, baking salmon with potatoes, bean soup, or roasting vegetables with herbs.
Is regular olive oil okay to be used in place of extra virgin?
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 to make everyday meals such as stir-frying or roasting vegetables. This oil is cheaper than EVOO. Some even believe it can be used for higher heat applications, such as deep frying. However, remember that it does not contain the same nutrients or positive compounds as EVOO, so try to make up for these benefits in other parts of your diet whenever possible.
Is the Mediterranean diet safe for people with diabetes?
The Mediterranean Diet is suitable for people suffering from certain conditions such as diabetes. This diet focuses on whole foods, reduces refined sugars, carbs, and emphasizes healthy fats rather than butter or lard. This helps reduce the risk of developing diabetes in those not yet living with it and controls blood sugar levels for individuals with diabetes. Incorporating light exercise into your diet can help stabilize and regulate blood sugar levels. Healthy food swaps like replacing white bread with whole grain bread or adding nuts in salads to replace crackers can help create a balanced eating plan that's suitable for managing symptoms and conditions.
What fruit can you eat as part of a Mediterranean diet
You will find fruits like oranges, grapes melons, melons, pears and dates in the Mediterranean Diet. To add more nutrition to your breakfast, you can try adding fresh fruit to smoothie bowls or parfaits. Greek yogurt can be spread on toast with dates and topped with some honey. Fresh fruit can be sliced and served over salads to add flavor and nutrients and satisfy sweet tooth cravings.
