Does The Mediterranean Diet Really Work?
If you have excess weight to lose, you’ve likely heard of the Mediterranean diet and its substantial benefits. You may even have been told to follow it by your cardiologist or primary care physician. But what does the Mediterranean diet entail; and how is it different from other diets that you may have tried and ultimately failed?
It’s important to remember that the Mediterranean diet is more of a lifestyle change and less of pure weight loss challenge. The goal is to lower your risk of heart disease and other conditions exacerbated by poor diet and excess weight. Of course, losing weight is a very welcome part of the Mediterranean diet, if followed closely, and you can enjoy fresh wholesome foods while you’re at it.
