A Great Diet!!
There are numerous reasons to start getting healthy using this time tested diet. Among the most important is to maintain overall health. The Mediterranean diet helps to reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It has been reported that incidences of Prostate cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, blood pressure and stroke are reduced as a result of this diet plan. Increasing ones intake of good olive oil, a key component to this diet, aids in increasing good cholesterol(HDL), while decreasing bad cholesterol(LDL).
What good is a diet if you can’t stick to it? That’s another reason to incorporate The Mediterranean Diet into your lifestyle. It tastes great. There are numerous fruits and vegetables, great tasting olive oil, eggs, cheese, dairy in moderation, fish and shellfish, wine in moderation(per doctors’ orders of course), poultry a couple times a week, and a hearty serving of red meat once or twice a month.
So what is a typical day like using The Greek Mediterranean Diet? For breakfast, coffee or tea accompanied by some fresh fruit as well as a few servings of eggs a couple times a week. Personally, I would skip the bread or toast. A slice of Greek cheese on the side goes very well. Snack anyone? Yes, you can snack in between meals on this diet. Melons, apples or whatever fruit you prefer.
Lunch and dinner serving and food groups are as appetizing as breakfast. There a few hard and fast rules that you need to abide by in order to be successful with this diet. The important thing to remember is to separate your starches from your meat. For example meat with vegetables=good, starch with vegetables=good, starch with protein (meat)=not so good. There are a variety of satiating salads to try. Remember, you can use good olive oil in your dressing so the sky is the limit. Add some fresh sliced tomatoes, a little feta cheese, and voila, a delicious Greek salad is ready for dinner and plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day.
If you are interested in finding out more about the many benefits of the Greek Mediterranean Diet please visit my blog just click here to get on your way to a new, healthy you.
P.S. Depending on weight, try to stay below 1600 calories a day
Good dieting,

Why Juice?
Why don't more people take up the habit of juicing? The benefits of juicing are huge. More energy, better building metabolism, healthier skin, to name a few. Like anything in life, juicing needs to become a habit to trully get the full benefit. The clean up is just to time consuming. Hmm! Let's for a second compare apples to oranges, so to speak. O.K., wake up, boil the pot of water, 5 minute wait, add my coffee and sugar for taste, if that's your preference and a nice hot warm cup of joe to get you going for the next half hour. And, another after that for some coffee lovers'. Now, consider this, wake up, grab a couple apples, grapes, carrots, maybe another fruit or vegetable or too, drop it in the juicer and 10 seconds later a refreshing drink is waiting to get you going for the whole morning. Like I said, it's a habit, but within three to four weeks, the clean up will not even be noticeable, 3 to 5 minutes out of your day. Need proof of the benefits, check out wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_LaLanne, yeah he's still kicking. So, what juicer to buy. Well, I've used a few different ones, but the best is probably the original one sold by Jack Lalanne, The Juicer. But, there are cheaper one's out there. He has a good book out through amazon nice information
if you want to find out more. And I am including some of the juicer's available from Amazon as well. Here's to your health.
Good Luck,
