Mediterranean Diet Food List
Think in food groups, not a rigid list of approved and forbidden ingredients.
| Build around | Use regularly | Keep more limited |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts, seeds | Olive oil, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy as appropriate | Highly processed foods, added sugars, refined carbohydrates and processed meats |
Turn the list into a shop
Pick several vegetables, two fruits, one or two whole grains, legumes, nuts, olive oil and proteins that fit your preferences. Buying foods you will actually cook is more useful than chasing an idealized pantry.
