My husband’s cardiologist recommended the mediterranean diet. Your article is very helpful because we eat very differently & need information & tools to make changes in our diets.
Very Thanks Margo!
Yes the foods used to eat in the Mediterranena diet plan have great benefits on Heart.
I’d like very much to do an interview to your Husband to share his experience.
Do you like the idea?

I am currently studying dietitics. The comparison between the health of the U.S. population and that of the Mediterranean is very different. Every 5 years we change our pyramid. The last change just took place not too long ago. The one that was in the running was developed by Harvard it is VERY similiar to that of the Mediterranean.
Thank you for the information. It proves a major point. We are what we eat. Our health reflects that.
Very thanks Tara.
Have you read this post?

It’s a general comparison of all the main diet pyramids.
Your proves that most of the diets are based on the same principles.
Thanks for the comment

I am currently doing a 10 week study with my team. Two of the members are following the Mediterranean Pryamid guidelines and the other two are following the U.S. Pryamid guidelines. In just 2 weeks both the triglycerides and the blood pressure were lower in both members following the Mediterranean.(From their starting numbers) We found no real significant change in the other two members. This is amazing. We have several speculations as to why this happened. Im curious to see what your opinion is.
P.S. MyPyramid (from the U.S.) has an interactive site. Is there a similar one for the Mediterranean Pyramid?
Wow! Sounds good.
- Some questions:
1) What foods they eat?
2) How much?
3) How many times during the day?
4) Age of the participants
5) Physical conditions?
It’s important because there several variations of the Mediterranean diet i.e. Greeks eat more food based on milk and Italian based on pasta and so on…
Please Let me know.
If you like to write an article on the blog I’ll be very very pleased to pubblish it…this is a free point for everybody.
Thanks

Hi, I read the article and it looked very interesting. I am a boxer and I have been looking for a great diet. I’ll need to bump up the protein a little but over all the diet looks really good. Thank you!
Hi Josh, I’m a thai-boxer!!
What’s your weight?
If you like I can share my diet with you.
Generally my trainer told me to don’t get high in protein, cause they can damage my liver.
And you?
I’m box in the middle weight class. I weight 150 pounds. That would be awesome if you would. High protein is bad for you? Oh wow, my diet right now is consisting mainly of high protein foods such as tuna, carbs such as pastas and breads, I try to eat vegtables on a regular basis but it’s hard for me to. What weight class are you in?
Hi Josh,
I’m 175 pounds, in Italy I’m Light heavyweight. My trainer told me to don’t eat too much proteins.
My coach advised me not to eat a lot of protein because they have nitrogen compounds that can weigh my liver and kidneys.
It took me integrators based protein and I was advised to eat only one type of red meat, horse meat.
Here my daily use:
- Lunch and dinner 0.26 pounds of meat (horse, pork) if chicken 0.31 pounds and fish 0,49 pounds.
If I can suggest you something about proteins, try to eat legumes such as Lentils, beans, tive.
They have veg. proteins and are more easily.
But red meat is very important because it has some elements that help the body to produce group B vitamins.
It’s good you eat pasta and bread..they are the “Bricks” of our muscles and an ready source of energy.
If I could share another tip with you, instead of proteins, try to take 0.05 pounds of Branched Chain Amino Acids before and after each training.
Consider that proteins are made by Amino Acids.
I use these
Hope this is useful.
If you like…why don’t you write your experiece in a 2 lines article?
I’ll be very happy to share it with my blog readers
Best regards
Enrico
