If you can see that you are not the size you want to be but don't want to give up some things like chocolate, olves, peanut butter and some oils with with your meals, you need to read this thoroughly because it will definitely change your life. You can lose your love handles, your spare tyre and flattent your belly too!
How the Modified Mediterranean Diet Weight Loss Plan Works.
The Mediterranean Diet is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (also known as MUFA's). MUFA's promote satiety, ensuring you feel full for longer. MUFA's also target abdominal fat, in addition to having many other health benefits.
For this diet to work you will be incorporating MUFA's with every meal 4 times daily. You will not be consuming any salt.
After ensuring that you include one MUFA category with each meal, the rest of the food plan follows along the concept of the Mediterranean Diet. This means incorporating plenty of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and limiting the intake of red meat.
To get off the ground, your intake will be 5,000 kjs for the initial four days. That's 1,250 calories. Your intake is then limted to 6,700kjs or 1,600 calories per day.
One complete jug of Amrita should be consumed each day. (Recipe at bottom of article.)
What are MUFA's?
MUFA's are to be found in olives, dark chocolate, avocado, peanut butter, seeds and nuts, and some oils, such as flax seed, olive, or canola.
