So, I made a rookie error in my first post here and it got deleted - I'm so disappointed as there was loads of really useful replies and now I can't see them, gah! Anyway, I’ve recently started eating in more of an Italian/Mediterranean-style way - around 1400 calories a day, sweet breakfasts with milky coffee, two-course dinners in the evening, and nothing too restrictive (unlike almost all the ones I've done in the past). It’s based on something called The Britalian Diet (UK-friendly version of the Med diet, basically), and I'm liking it so far, though only started on Monday. I'm 210 pounds (ugh) and have lost three pounds so far (water weight, I know) but will see how it goes. It’s the first time in ages I haven’t felt sad and starving while trying to lose weight. Anyone else doing something similar? submitted by /u/No_Point2724 to r/loseit [link] [comments]

For all the Westerners here trying to eat the Mediterranean way, I applaud you, I truly do. But unless you're living it — your cheese straight from the goat, your olives freshly plucked (NEVER put in a jar or can), your seafood still actively trying to escape your kitchen — you simply cannot engage in the Mediterranean diet properly. If you want to make this lifestyle change, you have to make a commitment to it. No preservatives, dyes, refrigeration, stainless steel silverware, or packaging of any kind. No one said it would be easy. https://www.reddit.com/r/mediterraneandiet/s/mvqW3Z3E2Q submitted by /u/itstooslim to r/CookingCircleJerk [link] [comments]

Ever since returning to the Mediterranean diet I’ve noticed all sorts of changes in my body. Some of them are predictable (I sleep better, I digest better, my mental health has improved), but there’s a weird one, too: my thirst drive is through the roof. I used to have trouble recognizing when I was thirsty, but now it’s ALL THE TIME. (Not a scientist, but my barely educated guess is that the increased fiber means I need more water to digest, and my gut’s sending louder signals to my brain about it.) I’m curious — anyone else experience odd or unexpected changes from the diet? ETA: Some kind people have commented below that a sudden increase in thirst is a warning sign of diabetes. I’m currently drinking what I’d consider a reasonable amount of liquid — a cup of coffee in the morning, 2-3 cans of seltzer through the afternoon, between 40 and 60 oz a day. It’s just that PRIOR to the diet, I wouldn’t usually think to drink something until I already had a headache — so the change is pretty dramatic from that angle. I’ll ask my doctor if they’re concerned for sure, but I don’t think any of you should worry about me! submitted by /u/MySecretLair to r/mediterraneandiet [link] [comments]

I have not posted here before, but I see a lot of hype being pushed around regarding what the diet is, food pyramids, Etc... I see a lot of "whole grain" being pushed around too and it sounds too confusing. I just wanted to describe what the actual Mediterranean diet is, from the perspectives of people who never ate otherwise The Mediterranean "diet" is a way of life. Period. Food is only a part of that life, and when taken out of context the whole thing falls apart. Even people in Mediterranean countries are dealing with increased incidence of diabetes and obesity due to the life style changes as a result of modernization. Here are some key features to this way of life: The Mediterranean diet, in its "authentic" form, has no place for a fridge or a microwave. Food preparation and preservation techniques have simply been around for centuries before modern technology. Even agriculture itself was founded somewhere on the Euphrates, over 10,000 years ago. Because of above, food is automatically fresh and in season. Bread is baked daily and no preservatives are needed. There's no "shelf-life" Food growing and harvesting involved significant physical effort ( even to this date in many rural areas). This is especially true when grains are being produced There are some different microclimates in the mediterranean. The areas with higher rainfalls tend to be coastal mountainous and not suitable for monocrop cultures. Inland is semi arid and used for growing grains and legumes that don't need a lot of water. There are no miles and miles of corn and soybeans. It's mostly wheat, lentils, Fava, barley, chickpeas and durum wheat all depending on rainfall Animals play an integral part of life, and are seen as a resource not as a product. The areas designated for animal growing tend to be mountainous (goats, small cows) or semi-arid (sheep, rarely camels) and those natural resources are limited too. Seafood is restricted to coasts and fresh water fish isn't popular until you get into trout territory. Animal products are typically what's consumed for protein and fat, balanced with legumes. These are either fresh (eggs, milk), semi processed like yogurt and butter, or processed for preservation purposes (brined or aged cheese and ghee, both stable at room temperature). Those products are relatively abundant. Fat free dairy is not a thing. Killing the chicken or the cow that gives you eggs or milk in the morning is kinda crazy Animals used for meat are those not productive (young roosters, yearling lambs, calves) because resources are too tight to keep too many animals. Meat is generally a treat, enjoyed as a feast or in small pieces with vegetable based meals, depending on how many people are sharing. Average meat consumption (all sources) is about 40-50 lbs/person/year. Some meat is preserved for the winter like prosciutto or sujuk. No preservatives are used, only natural bacteria For the same resource reasons, animals are grazed on grass, chicken are pastured and fed kitchen vegetable scraps. Mainly barley and hay are used in the winter (typically 2-4 months) Nuts and seeds are local, seasonal, and consumed lightly because they are expensive. Generally, almonds, walnuts, or pistachios grow and are used in making delicate desserts and added to food. Pumpkin seeds and stuff like that are also used (no throwing things away). Those foods and desserts make the basis of "snacks". Even wild orange skin is made into a snack/dessert Fruits and vegetables are eaten fresh in season and preserved for the winter. Preservation techniques are traditional and use no artificial chemicals. Lactofermentation, sundrying, condensed juice and jams are what's commonly used. "Canning" is a bizarre concept unless you're hot packing jam Meals are very balanced and recipes have evolved over centuries. The only thinking someone has to do would be to avoid eating too much rice or too much bread. For example, chickpeas with sesame oil (tahini) lemon juice, garlic, cumin, some yogurt and olive oil would make a meal, eaten with Pickles and some bread. You end up with a delicate balance of nutrient groups and macros. Meat is usually an ingredient not a main dish. This post is already too long and I won't start a recipe war for vegetarian dishes that include meat Flatbread is widespread. For the same amount of carbs, you have a much larger surface area to make a sandwich, so you end up consuming less starch. Even pizzas follow the same concept This kinda scratches the surface but unless you lived it it's hard to truly imagine. Eating a "Mediterranean diet" in the industrial west is ultra-challenging. Even if you figure out the recipes, the quality of the ingredients is actually what's more important. Where can you get ghee from sheep that's eaten wormwood and yarrow for most of its life? Goat cheese from goats nibbling on wild mountain herbs? Honey from bees eating mostly thyme flowers? Fresh herbs and spices? Fresh spring cheese made from colostrum? Wild caught fish of tens of species? 8 or 9 months worth of day fresh seasonal vegetables ? Vegetables shipped from Mexico, almonds and olives sprayed with glyphosates, canned Pickles, and lamb fattened up on corn and soy is not, and never will be, a Mediterranean diet. Mediterranean stores stuff are not up to my standards and come with plenty of preservatives in some cases. Not all hope is lost, but if you want to eat legit you'll be busy When you break it down to the macros and micros, it's probably say 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat as a good approximate (for vegetarian versus animal-based protein or fat, think half and half) EDIT: breaking it down further, let's say half the protein is from animal sources (half is fish, the other half lamb/chicken/beef) and the other half is legumes. Half of the fat is saturated (pastured-animal based mostly eggs and dairy, and the other half is split 3 way between Olive oil, fatty fish, and whole nuts/seeds instead of seed oils). As far as the carbs, you can say of the 40% sugar is 5%, 15% is wholegrain products (couscous, pasta, rice, bread, etc..) and 20% are balanced mix of starchy and fibrous vegetables. Nobody will sit down and calculate macros all their life but the diet looks something like. I hope somebody finds this useful EDIT1: Some people talk about "21-century version" of the Mediterranean diet based on modern research. This is silly. Near 11,000 years of anectodal evidence of a cumulative of billions of people, who lived, thrived and built ancient civilizations (Athens, Carthage, Pheonicia, you name it). Those people simply ate what made them feel best from local food and perfected their recipes. It's really that simple. 50 years of "research" on few thousands of people will not compare to that. EDIT2: The Mediterranean does not win awards because it's balanced, not because it's "plant-based". It could be described that way to people who have not lived it, and that's perfectly fine, but Balance is crucial: EDIT3: for more of a scientific background, the fat in human brain is 40% saturdaed fatty acids (20% C16 and 20% C18), 21% omega 9 (olive oil), 15% Omega-3, 15% Omega-6 and some miscellaneous stuff. The Omega-3 in the brain is mostly DHA, which can be found in oily fish NOT in plants (plants have ALA). The Omega-6 in the brain is mostly arachidonic acid, which can be found in dairy and animal products (plants have alpha-ALA instead). Your body can't make those PUFA readily/efficiently from plant sources (actual capacity varies depending on the genetics). This 1:1 ratio of Omega3:Omega6 is important to suppress inflammation. Interestingly, pasture-raised chicken contain the same 1:1 ratio, whereas chicken raised on grains are 19:1 Omega-6:Omega-3!!! Corn oil is 58:1 and sunflower is 128:1 "Vegetable oils" are not really that good. Healthy eating should match the brain fat ratio breakdown in my opinion. EDIT4: This is my personal opinion: a balanced diet probably does not cure any diseases. It's a way of healthy life and not a temporary "diet" When someone gets sick due to an imbalanced diet, they may feel better by overcompensating the other direction (some of these have research supporting them): A diabetic might get better going low-carb/keto, an inflammed person cutting out nuts/seed oils and eating more fish, fresh produce and some pasture-raised animal products, etc...but those extreme diets (throw in plant-based, carnivore, etc...no disrespect to anybody) are difficult to maintain and are just not balanced. I think reverting to a balanced way of eating as above is easier to follow long term. The West is generally obsessed with extreme diets and the Western diet is extreme in the worst way from a Mediterranean perspective (and loaded with chemicals, dyes, preservatives, trans fat, which should be 0%) Thank you for your inputs and comments! submitted by /u/flying-sheep2023 to r/mediterraneandiet [link] [comments]

One of my favorite Mediterranean diet websites is Olive Tomato, run by registered dietitian nutritionist Elena Paravantes (who is originally from Greece, so she's been eating this way her entire life). In this article she talks about the 9 most common mistakes people make when following the Mediterranean diet, and what to do instead.
