The Mediterranean diet is not a “fad” diet. It has been around for literally thousands of years. It is the way people in Italy, southern France, and Greece eat. It means eating fresh food and vegetables and a lot of seafood. NO PROCESSED FOOD.
More olive oil, instead of butter. Less sugar. Fresh pasta. Fresh cheese.
It is similar to the way people in Japan eat huge amounts of fish/seafood and have a much lower rate of heart disease than we in the USA do.
Thanks for posting this reality about the Med/Mind way to eat and stay alive.
