Foods to Consume While Following the Mediterranean Diet

By Jamie Leach

Pistachios

Pistachios contain three nutrients that contribute to satiety: protein, healthful fats, and fiber.

Walnuts

While simultaneously inducing satiety, walnuts can augment the flavor and consistency of virtually any dish. 

Seafood

Seafood, specifically fatty coldwater fish such as salmon, is an inherent reservoir of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.

Yogurt

Despite the fact that the Mediterranean diet suggests consuming no more than two servings of milk.

Watercress

A plate filled with leafy greens is an excellent addition to the Mediterranean Diet.

In addition to lentils, dried peas, and chickpeas, pulses consist of the consumable seeds of plants in the legume family.
