Remember when you were a kid?

Remember when you looked into the mirror and saw yourself? You saw who you were and just… accepted it.

Remember when you were okay with what you looked like?

Now keep that image of your childhood-self in your mind. Would she be proud of how you feel about your body today?

No diet, pill, or workout regime will make you happy with yourself.

Trying a diet hoping it’ll transform you won’t make you happy. But picking a diet you enjoy will make you happier.  

Cutting out foods and restricting yourself won’t make you happy. If anything, it’ll just lead to binging (trust me, I’ve been there).

Counting calories won’t make you happy. Fad diets won’t make you happy. The lies sold to you won’t make you happy.

You know what will make you happy? Things you enjoy!

And what if I told you, you could eat delicious, mouth watering meals, that satisfy you?

Hear me out.

I’m talking about a diet that’s been around for DECADES. It’s been researched in thousands of studies. What diet is it?

The Mediterranean Diet.

What is the Mediterranean Diet?

As a kid, I visited my grandparents in Greece. I fell in love with their way of living and delicious meals. Life was slower paced, and connection is the foundation of it. Food is a way people connect. Sitting down to dinner gives us the chance to share our experiences.  

Needless to say, the childhood trip changed my life. I’m now a recipe and lifestyle coach with two New York Times bestselling cookbooks.  

The Mediterranean Diet isn’t about losing weight or cleansing, as much as advertisers love to announce it as such. It’s a grounded way of eating that nourishes you while tasting amazing! The vivid flavors paired with the many health benefits are what makes the Mediterranean Diet unique in days of Paleo, Alkaline, and Raw Diets.

So what is the Mediterranean Diet? The diet focuses on four group groups:

  1. Protein - think poultry, seafood, and legumes!
  2. Healthy Fats - think olive oil, avocado, and nuts!
  3. Unrefined Carbs - think whole grains, quinoa, and oats!
  4. Non-Starchy Vegetables - think spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms!

Within these four groups, you have a lot of room for experimenting! And none of them even cover the zesty herbs commonly used in Mediterranean cooking. Spices are the secret weapon that makes a good dish a great one.

Will it Actually Work?

Since the Mediterranean Diet has been around for decades, we’re lucky that it’s a proven diet! It has many health benefits backed up by science, including:

Known Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet

Increased Heart Health

There have been many studies researching the heart-health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet. The results? People who stick to it reduce their chances of heart problems by 30%!1 

Supports Weight Loss and Maintenance

Thanks to the whole, fresh foods, the Mediterranean Diet can help people lose weight and maintain the loss! A 5 year study found that the diet outpreformed low-fat dietsthe participants had smaller waist measurements at the end of the study.2 

Prevents Cognitive Decline

The Mediterranean Diet isn't just for heart health and weight loss, it also benefits your memory and cognition! Many studies have concluded this finding. But one in particular discovered that individuals who stuck to the diet were far less likely to show signs associated with dementia!3

May Protect Against Cancer

A review of 83 studies found that the Mediterranean Diet reduced the risk of cancer, especially breast and colon/rectal cancers.4 This effect is believed to occur due to the fruits and whole foods of the diet.

Supports Health Blood Sugar Levels

Since the Mediterranean Diet involves fresh and nutritiously-dense foods, it can stablize blood sugar and protect from type 2 diabetes.5  

Why does it have so many benefits? Because the diet focuses on whole, healthful foods instead of processed, convenient ones. And while this may translate to a bit more cooking, that’s why my cookbookーThe Mediterranean Refreshーcomes in!
