According to my doctor I’m just a bit high in cholesterol and recommended a Mediterranean diet to help lower it. The thing is that she also provided a lot of recipes that substitute rice and other grains for barley, lentils, quinoa and the like, and also stated that I steer away from “land meats.”
Now I know that I am 100% capable of just following up with my doctor and clarifying these statements but, land meats?? It almost seems like I’m being requested to go full pescatarian unless I count poultry, and barley takes a full ass hour to cook. I’ve also noticed that I’ve lost a bit of weight from following these directions which is awesome, but I’m also naturally lean so I’m unsure of how to better deviate from the traditional diet so I can get more mass and also get more variety of dishes into the house.
Does anyone have any experience with going Mediterranean? What are your personal pros and cons regarding the palette?
