I am a pescetarianWhere does the Mediterranean diet come from?
Many studies have shown that Mediterranean people are very healthy (low cholesterol, low incidence of diabetes, heart disease, etc.) due to their diet of good fats (olive oil, nuts), fresh fish, lean protein, lots of vegetables and fruit, beans, grains and fiber. So someone wrote a diet book about it and made a lot of money. It's basically a variation of the clean eating regimen (avoiding sugar, refined and processed foods) and very similar to other healthy, balanced diets out there.Where does the Mediterranean diet come from?
The Seven Countries Study”, one of the most important discoveries of this study and that would give later name to the Mediterranean Diet, was that the inhabitants of Crete, which they obtained more from 40% of his calories of the fat consumption, displayed the lowest cholesterol index and associate diseases (in the Greek island, the percentage of deaths for this reason was 57 times smaller than in Finland). Most of the Greek fat intakes proceed from olive oil and olives and, the rest, from cereals, vegetables and generally “blue fish”, with something of meat and derivates.

In addition, they drank wine every day. This is the genuine Mediterranean Diet, almost identical to the diet of many others Mediterranean countries at that time.Where does the Mediterranean diet come from?
