The Mediterranean Diet is a plant-focused diet centered around the traditional cuisine of people living around the Mediterranean Sea. The diet is fueled by olive oil as a healthy fat source and whole foods like fruits, vegetables and legumes. Generally, the Mediterranean Diet is a high fat, moderate protein, moderately high carbohydrate diet but the carbohydrates don’t come from processed foods, but instead whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables.

A Mediterranean Diet Program Designed for Weight Loss
“My partner and I participated in the Mediterranean Diet Weight Loss Program during the summer and followed it pretty closely. We both took off ten pounds and learned a new way of eating. Now, nearly 4 months later, the weight has stayed off and we’re eating a much more healthy diet with less meat and more veggies. The concept of cooking an evening meal and having the other servings for lunch the next day has worked marvelously. The weekly planning and shopping has been a great takeaway. “
