The Mediterranean Diet Reviewed

Safe And Easy Weightloss

How I lost 20 pounds in 21 days without using pills or drugs on a tasty Mediterranean Diet, you can easily do the same if you truly want to.
Mediterranean Diet
Eating Less + Exercising More = Serious Weight Loss that will stay off for good. This is not a magical formula, it is just logic. It is also not a fast way to lose weight. As I have mentioned before, this is not miracle diet promising to lose ten pounds in three days or 30 pounds in less than a month. It is about safe, healthy weight loss.

 In order to lose weight safely and without putting yourself at risk from
dehydration,
 kidney failure,
malnutrition,
extreme tiredness,
nervous dysfunction,
 tooth loss,
 lifeless dry hair,
wrinkles,
cellulite,
sudden heart failure and stroke to lose the weight so that it stays off, you really shouldn't lose more than approximately two pounds a week! Although it doesn't sound like a large amount of weight to lose it really is! If you lost 2 pounds a week that means you can achieve a weight loss of ten pounds a month! If you only have twenty pounds to lose then your weight loss is not only quite rapid, but you have that extra guarantee that it will stay off because you have followed a sensible exercise plan that did not involve starving, exhausting or depriving yourself.

 If you are willing to drop your impatience and desire for immediate gratification and stick to an exercise plan and healthy eating habits, then a Mediterranean Diet is for you. Remember being slim is only good if you are able to enjoy it! I have been dieting to improve my health not only was I trying to better my appearance although I deff needed to lose a few lbs lol.



PRO's 1. Dementia - The Mediterranean diet has been verified as reducing the risk of Alzheimers and other types of Dementia through research at the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimers and the Aging Brain at the Medical Centre at Columbia University.

2. Weight Loss - Weight loss and weight loss management have also been identified as positve outcome by practicing a Mediterranean diet. Studies performed at Navarra University indicate the diet can reduce the body fat of people undertaking the diet.The research was over three years and monitored people at risk of heart disease to the number of 1.055 indiividuals.

3. Osteoporosis - Professor Campbell found in a study that the longer a person continues the use of the Mediterranean diet the less the chance of developing Osteoporosis. It appears that high antioxidant levels are responsible for this based on later studies.

4. Diabetes - A study which ran for four years, resulted in 44% of people consuming the Mediterarnean diet required diabetes medication for blood sugar issues in comparison to 70% of individuals who practised a low-fat diet. The Mediterranean research group ended up with better blood sugar (glycemic) management and were unlikely to require further medication for diabetes to reach healthier blood sugar levels. It was one of the longest studies of its type undertaken. Katherine Esposito, MD (from Second University, Naples) said that intervention lifestyle diets should never be ignored and the results of the study reinforce their importance.

5. Cancer - Athens University Medical Centre professors discovered there was a direct link when it comes to diets and cancer issues. Less incidence of cancer was found in people who consumed a traditional Mediterranean diet.


  The Diet includes consuming large amounts of fish
 olive oil
 legumes
 unrefined cereals
 fruits and vegetables.
 Dieters are also encouraged to eat modest amounts of dairy products and wine, and reasonable amounts of meat and meat products to match that of the Mediterranean inhabitants.
 Fat represents about 25-35% of all calories, with the majority of the fat coming by way of the healthier monounsaturated fat.
 High dietary fiber intake is another key aspect of this diet.


If you are looking for a way to lose fifteen pounds in two weeks,
a high protein diet, 
a low carb diet, 
a fruit diet,
a no fat diet, 
a blood type diet, 
a juice fast, 
a grapefruit diet,
a cactus diet, 
a coffee and cigarette diet,
this is not the diet for you

I have tried all these crash diets before and they don't have long lasting effects.
