Embarking on any new adventure can be daunting. Just like any big trip is an adventure, so is your diet choice. Some wish to trek the Himalayas, others love the sandy sensations of Jamaica. Me, I prefer the Mediterranean. Having grown up and travelled in this fantastic area of the world, something that always resonates with me is the Mediterranean cuisine. No doubt about it, Mediterranean cuisine is packed full of dietary power. Check out these powerful food choices from the Mediterranean diet:

1. Fish: Full of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Fish help reduce the risk of coronary disease, arrhythmia and reduce plasma triglyceride levels (Richmond W. 2001). Omega 3 cannot be synthesized by the body and that is why 2 fish meals per week can keep your heart ticking! Good sources are tuna, mackerel and salmon for example.

2. Wholemeal Pasta: Pasta is full of complex carbohydrates, especially the wholemeal variety. Complex carbohydrates help increase your energy levels, and keep you moving throughout your hectic day.

3. Garlic, Chillis & Onion: Packed full of antioxidants to fight off free radicals. Garlic is the most powerful antioxidant known to man. Combined with chillis and onion you have a fat burning trio that can be used to spice up your food. All three choices help burn fat (lipid peroxidation)and lower blood cholesterols and triglycerides.

4. Olive Oil: Olive oil is again full of monounsaturated healthy fats that help lower bad cholesterol (LDL).

5. Nuts & Seeds: Nuts and seeds like sunflower for example, are full of monounsaturated fat that helps fight the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Try the above foods, that have been tried and tested for thousands of years and lose weight naturally. In fact, eDiets.com is offering their new Mediterranean Diet to the world, be the first to try it out! Click on the link to our website below and read up about our eDiets review and join today!

Neuro-Toxic Diet Foods - The Aspartame Game !?
Are Diet Foods Healthy? Let us hear the one major answer, after first asking another question.- How many so-called Diet Foods contain 'aspartame'? 4,000 , maybe 6,000, of the food and drink items offered thru-out an average large grocery supermarket. Now, let us keep this little article 'dangerously sweet and low to the point'. What is aspartame? Some know it by the name of Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonfull, or another dozen or so, made up, safe and healthy sounding diet promoting superlatives. But...Read more

Rolls, Sponge Cakes, and Biscuits: The Dietary Pros and Cons of Snack Foods
Commercial snack foods. The bane of dieting, right? Yet so inviting. But we are told they are bad for tryglicerides, those are the real problem, aren't they?. Triglycerides are composed of a molecule of glycerol with three fatty acids attached. (Incidentally, 'Three Fatty Acids' would be a cool name for a rap group). Yet you can look at a website that produces not snack food, but roll machinery and other bakery equipment , for example, and still get your salivary glands going, you can almost...Read more
