However, old habits die hard and in North America and the Mediterranean diet has not exactly been a hit.
The diet ingredients can be monotonous and quickly lead to boredom. Consumers should know that the Mediterranean diet is not the panacea to good health.
A simple walk into any one of the Mediterranean countries will reveal the truth- obesity and diabetes are also rampant in the people who have stuck to this diet for decades.
There is no one diet which is great or health. Almost any diet in moderation is fine. Good health is based on many principles including a healthy diet, exercise, not smoking, great genes and a lot of good luck.

Hi there, my name is Alison and I work for Oldways, the creators of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. While I agree that one diet doesn't work for everybody, I do disagree about a few of your points.
ReplyDelete1. People in Med countries are obese because they are NOT following the Med Diet (they're following American eating habits)
2. How can Med Diet ingredients be monotonous and lead to boredom? Fish, veggies, fruit, wine, olive oil. Doesn't sound too bad to me!
