Discover the Ten Tips for Success

Not magic, just science and backed by doctors, nutritionists, and health experts.

The Mediterranean diet offers a wonderful variety and has very few "forbidden" items.

Aside from replacing butter with olive oil, processed foods with fresh, and most meat with fish and plant-based proteins, there is very little that you have to sacrifice in order to follow the diet.

You can snack at will, enjoy delicious desserts, and visit your favorite restaurants on the Mediterranean diet without counting calories or weighing your food.

Transitioning from a typical Western diet to the Mediterranean diet is all about learning how to shop for the freshest ingredients and reorganizing your daily food pyramid to emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables, healthful fats, and seafood over meat and starch.

It's an easy transition to make, and most people find that within a few weeks, they are looking forward to their meals and learning to savor them in a way that they hadn't before.

The traditional Western diet is deficient in fresh fruits and vegetables and very high in starchy foods and red meat. In contrast, the Mediterranean diet is mainly based on fresh produce, with whole grains at most meals, seafood several times per week, and meat only a few times per month, usually in small portions.

Olive oil is used far more often than butter, and cream-based sauces, salad dressings, and soups are rarely eaten. Instead, meals may include tomato-based sauces, vinaigrettes, and clear soups.
