The Mediterranean Diet
January 7, 2009
According to globally renowned nutrition expert, Sarah Keefe, the daily diet is what gave the Greek Gods their coveted physiques and adoration by women all over the world; if being worshipped by gorgeous women for your body is one of your most loved fantasies, why not begin with the Mediterranean diet yourself?
Of course, be realistic and don’t expect a complete transformation into an Adonis instantly for these kind of miracles take time and becoming a Greek God is hard work (not to mention disciplined eating and exercising routines to follow), so before you book yourself that beach motel and a dream date with beautiful babes in tow, learn more about how the celebrity-endorsed Mediterranean diet can help promote various health aspects for you, including longevity and a lowered risk of heart disease, among others!
Not only is the Mediterranean diet a tasty and exotic one, but this style of cuisine can be incorporated into regular men’s lifestyles with a little effort (and research beyond your regular hamburger haunts) since it combines a whole lot of varied cultural and culinary nuances integrated into it from regions as diverse as Portugal, Greece, Spain, Egypt, Morocco, Italy, Malta, Tunisia and Lebanon! Israel too is believed to have contributed certain methods of meal preparation and spices to the Mediterranean diet, which only goes to prove what a multi-cultural inspiration it has been and therefore also one that offers variety and wholesome goodness within its scope for the American, European and South Asian health conscious eater alike!
To begin with, the Mediterranean diet comprises a wholesome food pyramid: at its top most level are grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, all given a dash of low-fat olive oil, supplemented with fresh local cheeses, plenty of yogurt, healthy nuts, and loads of legumes; these are to be eaten daily.
Next in the pyramid come the weekly diet options of fish and seafood; poultry is allowed too besides some controlled intake of sweets though red meat doesn’t figure all that much in the Mediterranean diet (probably only once a month and mostly accompanied with a couple of glasses of red wine for a formal supper).
