From the Publisher

The model of the Mediterranean diet is summarized by the food pyramid, which gives indications on how to correctly combine the foods that characterize it, suggesting quantities and frequency of consumption. At the base, there are the products to be consumed in greater quantities and, as we go up the steps, there are those to be consumed with more and more moderation.

Following the Mediterranean diet means ensuring a balanced intake of the various macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids or fats), distributed as follows:

• 45-60% carbohydrates, the most complex (such as cereal starches)

• 10-12% proteins

• 20-35% fats with a percentage of saturated fats (present in almost all animal products except fish) of less than 10%.

Many scientific types of research have demonstrated that the Mediterranean diet plays an essential role in preventing cardiovascular diseases and other pathologies such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cognitive problems. The Mediterranean diet is also characterized by a low content of fats, mostly unsaturated, and a high intake of antioxidants, which counteract the harmful effects of free radicals: among these, the polyphenols of extra virgin olive oil the lycopene of tomato.

The Mediterranean diet is more than a diet; it is a way of eating that celebrates food, unity, and well-being. it is a popular eating plan that is flexible and easy to follow.

Unlike other fad diets, the Mediterranean diet has only a few off-limited foods. It’s no coincidence that year after year, the Mediterranean diet tops the annual ranking of the best diets of the U.S. News and World Report year after year.
