Mediterranean Diet:
The Mediterranean diet is not a specific diet program but a collection
of eating habits that are traditionally followed by the people
of the Mediterranean region. These are the basic characteristics:
• A high consumption of fruits, vegetables, potatoes, beans,
nuts, seeds, bread and other cereals
• Olive oil used for cooking and dressings
• Low to moderate amounts of full fat cheese and yogurt
• Moderate consumption of wine, usually with meals
• Reliance on local, seasonal, fresh products
• An active lifestyle
Mediterranean Diet Sample Meal Plan:
Breakfast:
• Apple muesli: • 60g of porridge oats, dry weight,
• 1 apple,
• 100ml of semi-skimmed milk,
• 3 dried apricots
• 100ml of orange juice
• 125ml of low fat yoghurt
Instructions: Mix the porridge oats, grated apple, dried apricots
and milk together in a bowl. If possible, leave in the fridge overnight,
although this is not necessary if you don't have time.
Lunch:
• Crackers with peanut butter
• 1 1/2 tsp of peanut butter
Dinner:
Pasta salad with broccoli, cherry tomatoes & almonds:
• 75g of pasta (uncooked weight)
• 90g of broccoli
• 1 tbs of low fat yoghurt
• 1 tsp of pesto
• 5 cherry tomatoes
• 30g of sliced almonds
• 1 tbs of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the pasta following package directions,
omitting any suggested fat or salt. During the last few minutes
of cooking time, steam the broccoli over the boiling pasta, using a
steamer or a sieve, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Once the pasta is cooked and drained, stir in the rest of the ingredients.
This can be served warm or at room temperature.
