Description
The hypothesis of this diet is that people that live around the Mediterranean are healthier because of the diet they naturally follow.
Ease for Dieter*
Easy-Medium
- If you don’t need structure this could be a good diet.
- It might be more difficult to get exercise and stick to portion control.
(*My impression is based on my research and how hard I think it would be to maintain for 1, 6, 8, 10, 20 weeks. Your experience may vary.)
Food Emphasis
- Portion control will need to be watched
- Focuses on what to eat every day, a few times a week and a few times a month.
- Eat mindfully
- Lists of Eat, Eat in Moderation, Eat Rarely, and Don’t eat foods
Maintenance Plan
- Lifetime.
Suggested Activity Level
- Activity each day.
