If you want to get on board with a diet that tastes good and has bona fide health benefits, then you've found your match in the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is all-inclusive, sustainable, and something that you really can follow. It's not so prescriptive that it's prohibitive. Furthermore, the Mediterranean diet emphasizes eating with loved ones together, around a table. In that sense, you can think of the Mediterranean diet as a lifestyle as much as a diet. It's one that people in many countries around the Mediterranean Sea, like Greece, Turkey, and Italy, have followed for centuries.
