Hey everyone,

How are you doing today? 😊

I've been hearing a lot about the Mediterranean diet and how it might be healthier for people with chronic illnesses. It has gained a lot of attention lately for its focus on whole foods, healthy fats, and its overall balanced approach to nutrition. It’s often linked to improvement in heart health, reduced inflammation, and a boost in overall wellness, which can be especially important for those dealing with chronic conditions. I'm curious if anyone here has tried it or is currently following it.

If so, what has your experience been like? Have you noticed any changes in your symptoms, energy levels, or overall well-being? Any tips or favourite recipes you'd like to share?

Whether you’ve been following this diet for years or just started exploring it, I’d love to hear your stories, and they might be really helpful for others who are considering giving it a try.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Best,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

Minimising sugar intake, especially processed refined (added) sugar, is probably the most important in a diet. Although this idea’s been around sonce the 1950s with Atkins, sugar lobbies have tried to blame CHD and other dieases on saturated fat. But the Mediterranean diet proves this wrong.

Thank you for sharing more, @gmorlet! 😊

It’s great to hear that the switch has made such a huge difference for you. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you make the transition to this diet? What helped you stick with it? I’m sure many people here would appreciate any practical tips you can share!

Take care,

It takes willpower and lack of a sweet tooth to start with :) the key ingredient of success though for me was cheese!

Also, the OMAD (one meal a day) diet really helped me for years, because it does not feel restrictive.

@gmorlet Completely agree! Willpower and self-control play a huge role in making your diet a success.

The OMAD diet sounds really interesting and quite difficult to sustain, could you share how you were able to follow it?

Thanks for sharing with us and take care,

It's the Pavlov principle, you can train yourself to only be hungry at certain hours, and by avoiding (processed) sugar at all costs, there are no sugar crashes which suddenly make you very hungry!

I lived around the med for years and obviously followed the diet. Thing is it’s the quality of the ingredients you access. Tomatoes that taste like tomatoes; fresh, not packaged in inert gas and flown half way across the planet. It’s not a rocket science diet; it’s fresh, simple, tasty and common sense. Poor produce on the other hand….
