Mediterranean Diet App

The Mediterranean Diet is one of the most popular fitness diets that is based on the traditional eating

habits of people living in the Eastern Mediterranean region, specifically Southern Italy, Greece and Crete who have the lowest rate of chronic diseases and highest life expectancy.

This diet is based on lots of olive oil, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts, fresh fruits, fish and

low fat dairy which supplies a considerable amount of healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins and fibers to the body. The Mediterranean Diet is more of a healthy eating pattern than a planned diet and the Mediterranean Diet App helps to get started with this healthy eating pattern and stay on the right track by providing a comprehensive list of foods that can be included in breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks as well as the recommended daily servings of each food.

Why the Mediterranean Diet Works?

It limits the consumption of red meat, eggs and poultry thereby, reducing the risk of heart disease

Healthy cooking methods such as grilling, boiling and charboiling are used and no food is fried or seared

Meals are preceded by a filling vegetable soup which enhances satiety and limits overeating

helps to lower blood cholesterol
