According to the article “The Mediterranean Meal Plan,” by registered dietician Janis Jibrin for “Good Housekeeping” magazine, this diet is “rich in antioxidants and unsaturated fats.”
Shoppers can use the following suggestions to create their own individualized low calories grocery list of Mediterranean foods for weekly menu planning.
