Not all doctors are on board with the Mediterranean Diet, but they seem to approve of its cousin, The Atlantic Diet.
Summed up from USA Today and the Today Show, the Atlantic Diet consists of eating:
- Plenty of unprocessed fruits and vegetables
- Lean meat and fish - singling out beef, pork, and cod
- Eggs, milk, and cheese
- Called "Pulses" - beans, dried peas, lentils and chickpeas
- Olive oil and nuts - especially almonds, walnuts, chestnuts and hazelnuts
- Lots of bread, potatoes, rice and cereal
- Red or white wine in moderation
The Atlantic Diet focuses on eating fresh whole foods and is less restrictive than the Mediterranean Diet by allowing you to consume a generous amount of carbohydrates. On the Atlantic Diet, you can have starches 6 - 8 times a day. Still like its cousin, it lowers the risks of heart disease.
The Atlantic Diet seems balanced, doable, sensible, and delicious! No wonder doctors support following it.
