Mediterranean diet is one of the world’s healthiest diets. The meal plan usually consists of lots of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, legumes, olive oil. It also includes seafood and poultry - lean sources of protein. The recipes are usually simple and delicious, loaded with healthy ingredients.

The main tips for those who decided to start their journey with this diet are:
