Mediterranean Diet:The Complete Guide with Meal Plan and Recipes for Normal People Who Want to Eat Healthy and Lose Weight - Dexter Jackson
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Mediterranean Diet: A Complete Guide with Meal Plan for Normal People Who Want to Eat Healthy and Lose Weight, and thank you for doing so. I believe you will discover it will quickly become a way of life.
The following chapters will discuss a specific diet plan that has been used in countries such as Spain, Greece, and Italy as well as other Mediterranean locations dating back to the 1960s. It was discovered when researchers noticed these individuals were much healthier when compared to the Americans, and also had a much lower risk of so many diseases that could be deadly.
Many benefits will be discussed including how you can lose and maintain a healthy weight and discover a sustainable way to reduce any disease-causing inflammation. You may notice some parts may seem to be repetitive, but they are repeated to stress the importance of the particular issue being discussed.
Each chapter will carry you through different aspects of the plan and how you can go about changing your eating patterns with the Mediterranean diet. The fortunate part of the Mediterranean diet (also called the Med Diet) is that you don’t have to travel to the exotic country to enjoy the cuisine. You can prepare them from items in your cupboards and refrigerator using your oven, stovetop, and own dining room table.
You will also discover while on the Mediterranean diet plan, you will have more energy, and with that energy you can become more active. Motivation will be the leader as you head toward your new lifestyle making crucial changes along the road to success.
Chapter 1: Basics of the Mediterranean Diet
Before we begin the journey through the plan, you will first need to understand how the Mediterranean-style of cooking works for you. Simply stated, there is not any one way or right way for this diet. Each of these guidelines is not ‘written in stone,’ which means, they are very flexible.
The Mediterranean style of eating gives you a huge advantage since you do not need to track any points or weigh out any portions for each of your meals. You will quickly learn how easy the plan is and know you can realistically stick to it.
Once you get the methods figured out, you will love the many different spices and herbs that can liven up a normally drab meal. You will quickly discover which ones are your favorite foods. There are several items listed that will provide you with an idea of how delicious the food is.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends you consume a minimum of eight to eleven cups of water each day if you are a woman, ten to fifteen if you are a man. WHO revealed millions of deaths annually are attributed to too little vegetable and fruit intake. Therefore, they support the basis of the Mediterranean plan.
A Bit of History
Ancel Keys, a scientist, and his colleagues included Paul Dudley which later became President Eisenhower’s cardiac physician, conducted a Seven Countries Study in the years following World War II comparing individuals in the United States to those living in Crete, a Mediterranean island. He examined the plan testing individuals of all ages using the ‘so-called’ Mediterranean Diet.
The long-running study examined 13,000 middle-aged men, (remember the times), in the Netherlands, Yugoslavia (at that time), the United States, Finland, Greece, Italy, and Japan. It became evident the fish, vegetables, fruits, beans, and grains were the healthiest meals possible, even after the deprivations of WWII. This was the starting point!
The Plan Basics
The first step is not to eat unless you are truly hungry. This section will first provide you with the essential groups of what to eat, drink, what to eat in moderation, what to eat rarely, and things you should avoid. You also need to know how many servings of what you are allowed on the food pyramid of the Mediterranean Plan.
Servings of the Mediterranean Pyramid:
Plenty of water is at the head of the list for every day!
Monthly: Red meat = Four servings
Weekly:
Eggs = Three servings
Sweets = Three servings
Nuts, Olives, Pulses = Three to four servings
Olive Oil = Seven to Fourteen tablespoons
Legumes = Four servings
Potatoes= Three servings
Poultry = Four servings
Fish
