The problem with most of the current diets in Hollywood in the United States is that they rely on starvation or supplements, which robs your body of vital nutrition that it needs to survive. This is why most scientists agree that the Mediterranean diet is the premier form of healthy weight loss through whole foods and organic produce, with no chemicals involved.

When people in the United States hear about the Mediterranean diet, they generally think about countries which border the Mediterranean Sea or are part of the Mediterranean region of countries that make up the belt surrounding this ancient body of water. The reality is that most central and eastern European nations follow the same diet plan and have been eating this way for thousands of years.



Take Bulgaria and Macedonia for example, because despite the fact that they don't actually border the Mediterranean, they nevertheless follow a very similar diet plan where is the people of the country are eating salads and yogurt stand fruits on a daily basis just like people do in Italy and Greece. This is because all of their diet plans have originated from the same place and simply evolved over the years.

If you are looking for a healthy way to lose weight through whole foods and organic produce there is no better option than the Mediterranean diet. Research has shown over the years that this is the premier diet of the 21st century, with 7 to 10 portions of fruits and vegetables per day ensuring that your body is chalk full of vitamins and minerals and no toxins as a result of processed foods.

The next time you start looking at the Mediterranean diet or doing research on diet plans, you will know that this way of eating in this particular lifestyle is not simply related to countries which have beachfront property on the Mediterranean Sea. The reality is that most of Europe follows the same diet plan on a daily basis, with olive oil, red wine, plenty of fruits and salads as well as whole grains and dairy products for healthy living.
