The Mediterranean Diet

There’s something to be said for the Mediterranean diet as people who live in this region seem to have better health than most others. If you’ve been reading about the benefits on your www.cannonSatellite.com internet or in magazines, here’s what you need to know.
Oil Is Not The Enemy: Olive oil is a substantial and healthy part of the Mediterranean diet and people there know to use it sparingly. It’s got a lot less bad-for-you fats than traditional oils and it’s got more flavor so you can use it to dress everything from greens to pasta.
Meat Isn’t Big: When you portion out your meat, do it much smaller. Think of meat the size of a side dish now and you’re well on your way to eating more Mediterranean. And while you’re at it, eat more seafood!
Use Less Ingredients: True Mediterranean people use fewer but higher quality ingredients and they’re big on herbs and produce. Think tomatoes, peppers, and basil and use cheese but buy the good stuff. That way you’ll get more flavor and more bang for your buck.
