How this Modified
Mediterranean Diet Weight Loss Plan Works.
The Mediterranean Diet is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (also
known as MUFA's). MUFA's promote satiety, ensuring you feel full
for longer. MUFA's also target abdominal fat, in addition to having
many other health benefits.
You will need to consume MUFAs four times a day (with every meal).
You will not be consuming any salt.
After ensuring that you include one MUFA category with each meal,
the rest of the food plan follows along the concept of
Mediterranean diet
food. This means incorporating plenty of whole grains, fresh
fruits and vegetables, and limiting the intake of red meat.
To kick-start your weight loss you will consume 5000 kilojoules, or
1250 calories, for the first 4 days. After this, you will be
limiting your intake to 6,700 kilojoules, or 1600 calories
daily.
One complete jug of Amrita should be consumed each day. (Recipe at
bottom of article.)
What are MUFA's?
MUFA's are to be found in olives, dark chocolate, avocado, peanut
butter, seeds and nuts, and some oils, such as flax seed, olive, or
canola.
