The Mediterranean diet (lifestyle) has been around for many years, and it is still considered one of the top most effective diets in the world today.
What is the Mediterranean diet? Very simply put the Mediterranean diet is a way of eating based on the traditional foods and eating patterns of the people and countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.
What makes the Mediterranean diet effective for obtaining and maintaining health—and even for weight loss—is that it is a whole-foods diet that is more plant heavy, but is also high on good fats, fresh herbs, and great flavor!
If you’ve been eating the Mediterranean way for a time, you already know that there are no hard “Nos” in the Mediterranean diet. That doesn’t mean we have no guidelines. The Mediterranean diet pyramid reflects the general pattern in which we should be eating our meals over days or weeks--a longer-term path to better health.

Hi! I have been recommended to do the Mediterranean diet by my doctor and upon research found your page where I have learned a lot about the diet. I did notice cauliflower is not listed on many Mediterranean food list. Could cauliflower be eating on a Mediterranean diet? And if so, could it be eating on a regular basis or in moderation?
Hello! Welcome to The Mediterranean Dish! Veggies are an important part of the Mediterranean way of eating, and that includes cauliflower :). It can definitely be eaten on a regular basis. Here is another great article you can check out for more info.
