Expert nutritionist explains what the Mediterranean diet is, what it isn't, how it works and the health benefits.
So what exactly is the Mediterranean diet? It’s a diet based on how people eat, all around the Mediterranean Sea. It was originally based on the way people ate in places like Greece, Italy, the south of France and Spain and became popular because of a very famous nutritionist named Ancel Keys. Dr Richie Kirwarn tells us why we shouldn’t call the Mediterranean diet, a diet.
