When Sophie Brown came onto the Mediterranean diet, she was looking for a sustainable lifestyle that would make her feel best rather than only a means of keeping active. She adds, smiling, “It’s not just about food.” “Your plate and your life need balance.”
Sophie’s dinner schedule centers on healthy, fresh, easily prepared, very delicious foods. Here is a taste of a Mediterranean diet day:
Breakfast calls for Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries, honey drizzled, and a handful of nuts first thing in morning. “It’s creamy, sweet, and crunchy—perfect way to fuel your day,” Sophie says.
Lunch would be a colorful Greek salad topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, olive oil and lemon juice. For more protein, Sophie sometimes tosses grilled chicken or chickpeas.
Snack: “I love snacking on a handful of almonds or sliced veggies with hummus,” Sophie notes. “It keeps me energised without feeling heavy.”
Dinner will be a filling yet sensible baked salmon topped with roasted veggies and quinoa. Sophie underlines the ease of getting ready. “You’re good to go just season, pop it in the oven.”
For Sophie, the Mediterranean diet addresses not just her food but also her eating behavior. She advises “I’ve learnt to slow down, enjoy my meals, and really listen to my body.”
