My Mediterranean Day

May was the "National Mediterranean Diet Month", but since I dislike the term "diet" and would much rather refer to it as the Mediterranean diet lifestyle I'd like to continue the conversation into June.

The reason why I believe this can easily translate into a lifestyle is because it's not restrictive or difficult to incorporate into one's life. It's a delicious way of eating that will never leave you feeling hungry or unsatisfied. I mean, come on, if eating fat is encouraged and drinking wine is okay too it really can't be all that bad!

For more details on this way of eating check out the lessons learned from Italy, France, Greece, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, and Israel .
