Once again, the U.S. News and World Report has named the Mediterranean Diet #1 in Best Diets Overall. Rich in plant-based foods, whole grains, beans and legumes, and healthy fats such as olive oil, it has been linked time and time again with health benefits including improved heart and brain function, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.

While fad diets come and go, the Mediterranean Diet is backed by decades of research and centuries of culinary tradition. Part of the Mediterranean Diet’s appeal is that it is not a rigid “diet” at all, but an overall balanced lifestyle based on delicious foods, the pleasures of sharing meals with friends, and joyful movement. You can see just how easy it is to immerse yourself in the Mediterranean diet by using Oldways’ 4-Week Mediterranean Diet Menu Plan as your guide.
Since releasing the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid with the Harvard School of Public Health and World Health Organization more than 25 years ago, we’ve worked to make this diet accessible to all by emphasizing a simple and delicious truth: though the health benefits are far-reaching, you don’t need to travel farther than your local supermarket to adopt life-changing habits.
