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 is a flexible and versatile eating pattern that can be customized as per your preference

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 char boiling are used and no food is fried or seared

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

Approximately 40% of the total calories come from plant-based monounsaturated fats (olive oil) that help to lower blood cholesterol

Red wine helps to flush out toxins from the body
