2231: My Modified Mediterranean Diet (It’s Even Healthier)

WW: My Modified Mediterranean Diet (It’s Even Healthier)

When it comes to “dieting” the industry really has lost its mind…

Every day there seems to be a new insane take on a variation of low carb, high protein, or other wildly imbalanced meal plan…

But when you are finally over the madness of fad dieting, I urge you to look at the one diet with over 5,000 scientific notations and the only diet to be deemed the “anti-cancer diet.”

Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 2231 for a take on my modified Mediterranean Diet and what I did to make it even healthier – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. What I Kept

I still kept the cornerstone of the Mediterranean Diet and that is the 7-9 servings of brightly colored fruit and vegetables – Aim for a rainbow of colors everyday!

2. What I Replaced

I removed the grains (mostly) and alcohol (sorry red wine), but the Mediterranean Diet can actually be improved for overall health benefits by doing so.

3. What I am Still Working On

The one spot I think I still eat a bit more than I should is with meat (red meat specifically). I do not have an issue with grass-fed/pastured meat, it’s just the quantity that can become the issue. I aim to eat more wild fish since the high level of Omega-3s are another cornerstone of the Mediterranean Diet.
