Med Instead of Meds logo

We are promoting eating the MEDS WAY! You are probably ready to try some new recipes and eat the healthiest you can. Eating like those in the Mediterranean region has been shown to promote health and decrease the risks of many chronic diseases. The MED style of eating has been traditionally practiced in countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. Eating the MED way is not only healthy, but it is delicious and satisfying. Foods that you thought of as too high in fat, or unhealthy including nuts, olive oil, olives and whole grains become a part of your daily diet. The MED way of eating also includes lots of fruit and vegetables, fish, nuts and only small amounts of red meat.

Include these foods for the simple steps to eating the MEDS Way:

  • Whole grains
  • Fish
  • Nuts
  • Olive oil

Limit these items:

  • Sugar
  • Red Meat

Exclude:

  • Highly processed foods
  • Fast foods

I hope you will enjoy eating the MED way! It is simple, satisfying and delicious! Visit medinsteadofmeds.com for lots of simple recipes to try!
