Eat Greek To Reach The Ideal Weight

There are fad diets and there are ways of life, and let’s clear things up right from the start, eating Greek is a way of life!



The purpose of reaching an ideal weight is not to lose weight, or to gain weight, but to be the healthiest weight you can be, for your age, gender and height. Believe it or not, by eating Greek, you will get closer to your ideal weight with every meal! This is because you will be eating healthy food, which works with your body’s natural functionality and not against it like many modern processed foods do.

In place of eating foods, which have been shown to increase heart disease, diabetes, and many other health problems, you’ll be enjoying a diet that not only tastes exquisite, but also prevents against those very same diseases, whilst keeping you healthier and stronger. Still not convinced? Cardiovascular death rates are much lower in Greece when compared to those of the UK and USA, and when smoking, drinking, and other confounding variables were controlled for, diet was found to be the identifying reason for this effect.

By eating Greek, your immune system should be functioning as well as it can do, and your blood glucose will be better regulated. The other very important thing to regulate blood sugar is exercise – this diet is the best for your body but you must help it along too. Experts say that leading a sedentary diet is as bad as smoking! Our lives have changed so much since the days of our grandparents, who would on average walk 10km a day just going about their lives, so of course they did not need to make time for exercise. In today’s society we must! It seems to be the thing that is last on our ‘to-do’ list but really it should be at the top, right next to eating right! Make time to walk more, run more, move more – you really will feel and look better for it.

The food you eat will dictate whether the weight you lose is in a healthy manner, or if, in fact, it is causing your body harm. The choice to eat Greek is about choosing a healthier way of life.
When an overweight individual follows our Greek diet, they will lose weight, not as a goal, but as a consequence of the healthy eating habits of the Greeks. Similarly, if someone who is malnourished or drastically underweight follows our diet, they should begin to see improvements in their physique too; from muscle tone to an increase in energy levels they should eventually reach their ideal weight, not as a goal, but as a consequence of maintaining a healthy body and improving the blood flow, digestion, and immune system.

So what is the goal then, if becoming healthier is a consequence? To enjoy your food, by dining on mouth-watering meals that the entire family will enjoy – food that is full of natural flavor and which works with your body the way nature intended. By eating a low red meat intake, moderate chicken and fish consumption and a diet based on olive oil instead of processed, hydrogenated fats, nuts and dried fruit in place of cakes and crisps, and a high intake of fruit, vegetables and pulses and even the odd glass of red wine, you will be giving your body the tools it needs to find its balance and become your ideal weight.
