THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET

The Mediterranean diet seems simple enough and healthy too. The basics of this diet seem to be

• eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables
• very little red meat
• some fish regularly
• some red wine
• limited portions of nuts
• good fats like olive oil

All of the above seems like common sense to me, but I think the real secret here as in all diets is not only the moderation but portion sizes. Remember it's almost always better to eat six small meals a day than three large ones. Your most important diet tools could be a diet food scale and some standard measuring cups. No matter which diet you choose, measure and weigh until you are used to the correct portions.
