Frequently Asked Questions
What should I be eating in a Mediterranean day?
A Mediterranean diet focuses on healthy fats and protein and lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains. A Mediterranean diet should contain seven to ten daily servings (or more) of vegetables and three to four 3-ounce servings (or less) of lean proteins such as chicken and fish. It is also recommended to consume moderate amounts of healthy fats like olive oils and nuts. For a balanced diet, you should consume three to four servings of whole grain, such as quinoa barley, oats or barley each day.
Limiting foods that can be harmful when consumed regularly is crucial. This includes all processed foods, sugar, unhealthy oils, starches, sweetened drinks like soda or juices, and red meats that contain saturated fats or nitrates. It is important to avoid dairy, and to consume reduced-fat milk when possible. Avoid eating fish more than three times per week due to potential mercury contamination. This can affect its nutritional value and cause it to be less nutritious if it is not planned for.
You can get the most out of your Mediterranean diet by planning meals. Make sure to pay attention to what ingredients are included in the dishes you choose.
Following a Mediterranean diet can be an enjoyable experience, as it incorporates delicious and nutrient-dense food items. Choose high-quality proteins such as wild-caught fish, grass-fed meat, and organic eggs to ensure the healthiest meals. Additionally, incorporate heart-healthy fats from nuts, olives, avocados, extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil. Make sure to include plenty of fresh and/or frozen fruits and vegetables in your meals and whole grains such as quinoa, barley, and oats. Reduce unhealthy fats, added sweetness, processed food, starches, red and processed meats.
Are certain conditions such as diabetes or heart disease compatible with the Mediterranean diet?
The Mediterranean Diet is a good choice for those with diabetes. This diet emphasizes whole foods, limits refined sugars and carbs, and focuses on healthy fats over butter or lard. This reduces the chance of developing diabetes in people who are not already living with it, and helps to control blood sugar levels for those with diabetes. Incorporating light exercise into your diet can help stabilize and regulate blood sugar levels. Healthy food swaps such as replacing white bread with whole-grain bread or adding nuts to salads instead of crackers can contribute to a balanced meal plan suitable for managing symptoms of many different health conditions.
