What's Good about the Mediterranean Diet?
Really it's Crete, not France or Italy or Morocco...
- Its components are synergistic cardiovascularly
- Minimize animal fats, espcially cooked fat
- Substitute olive oil & nuts for fats and refined sugars
- Replace baked treats with many servings of fruit and vegetables daily
- Replace refined carbs with whole grains
- Eat snack-sized meals
- Legumes are important for protein, for vegans
(nuts are more healthful, in palmful servings)
- (Eat food, mostly plants, in moderation.)
(Appetite is wrong – obesity, sugar stimulate hunger)
