    Mediterranean Diet - Adriana Monti

    Prologue

    Many people who embark on the weight loss journey, making an array of mistakes along the way. One of their biggest mistakes is becoming impatient and partaking in a diet that’s unhealthy and not sustainable. For instance, the 1,200-calorie diet is not sustainable, especially if you work out regularly or your constantly moving on the job.  This diet will cause the body to slow the metabolism down and stop all weight loss – the body thinks it’s starving and, in a way, it is.

    In fact, the 1,200-calorie diet can actually lead to weight gain!

    The Mediterranean Diet, however, has had its place in the weight loss and nutrition communities. When people decide it’s time to lose weight, they often look at the various diets that have been tried. Some of these include the Weight Watchers Diet, the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet and the Mediterranean Diet.

    Each one of these diets has their own benefits, but they also have their own drawbacks. If your goal is to get healthy, drop weight or feel better overall, it’s important that you find a diet that is beneficial to you – not a run-of-the-mill, lose weight quick diet.  The Mediterranean Diet is definitely not your average, lose weight quick diet and it’s not like the other popular diets heavily marketed in mainstream society.

    The Mediterranean Diet vs. Other Diets

    What makes this diet so different from any other diet like the tried and true Atkins Diet or Weight Watchers diet? First off, it provides a cuisine that’s rich in flavor and colors, supporting your taste and spirit to live harmoniously with nature. Secondly, you combine and balance the food to satisfy your needs – both quantitative and qualitative – and preserve your health with substances that ensure the body works normally.

    While the Mediterranean Diet is a popular method to lose weight, many people fail to properly follow it (thus, the confusion). Many people think it is okay to eat pizza or consume spaghetti with meat sauce.  If you want to follow the Mediterranean Diet, it’s important that you understand what it’s about, how it came about and what foods are acceptable to the diet (and what foods should be consumed in moderation or eliminated).

    Making the decision to become healthy and lose weight is your first step toward a healthier lifestyle. However, if you’ve made the decision to incorporate the Mediterranean Diet into your life, it’s imperative that you know what it consists of to be successful in your weight loss/fitness venture.

    The Mediterranean Diet is all about offering an array of tasty choices – thanks to its alluring colors and powerful scents that fall in line with your healthy lifestyle.

    Chapter 1

    The Mediterranean Diet: Its Rich History Is An Amalgamation Of Cultures

    The first thing you may be wondering is how in the world did the Mediterranean Diet come about? The Mediterranean Diet, also called the Greek Mediterranean Diet, came about after researchers looked at the dietary habits of the Crete people. A plethora of studies revealed its ability to boost longevity and reduce the possibility of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

    Many historians call this region of the world the Cradle of Society. Why? Within the geographical borders, a whole history of the ancient world occurred.  Along the region was the Nile River as well as two well-known basins – the Euphrates and Tigris. The civilizations of this region included the Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, and Sumerians.

    It wasn’t too long that the Cretans rose to power, and not long after, the Phoenicians and Greeks came to power. It permitted the territory to become a good land between the West and East. It allowed the people to become one in the Mediterranean, bringing together cultures, languages, religions, customs and various thought processes.

    Region’s Power Struggle Changes Course Of The Mediterranean Diet

    And, it all changed the history of how the Mediterranean Diet came to be because their eating habits merged.

    What’s known is that the Mediterranean Diet includes oil products, wine, and bread (as noted by the Greek culture) and the strong preference for sheep cheese, fish, seafood, vegetables (as noted by the Roman culture).  The rich class consumed fresh fish, either grilled or fried in olive oil, and seafood such as oysters, eating them fried or raw. Roman slaves were provided with less quality food such as bread and olives and olive oil each month. They rarely had any meat but would sometimes be given salted fish.

    It wasn’t long before this Roman tradition clashed
