trying to lose weight and seeking a healthy diet that i will be able to stick for a long time. I think that the mediterranean diet will be the best choice for me since it consists mostly of such basic products as vegetables, lentils, cereals, nuts and olive oil.

I do not need something difficult or hard to follow but I just want an easy to follow meal plan made of regular food.

Has anybody tried losing weight on the basis of the Mediterranean diet? How did your regular meals look like?

You don’t necessarily need to completely avoid specific foods to lose weight. It’s usually more helpful to focus on portions, overall calorie intake, and how often you eat certain foods.

Some foods and drinks worth limiting include:

Sugary drinks, soda, and sweetened coffee

Candy, cookies, cakes, and other desserts

Highly processed snack foods

Deep-fried foods and frequent fast food

Foods high in added sugars and saturated fat

Large portions of calorie-dense foods

Instead, try building meals around vegetables, fruits, lean protein, whole grains, and minimally processed foods.

Water or unsweetened drinks can also be an easy swap for sugary beverages.
