I have been doing a lot of research lately on diets…gotta get bathing suit ready for these beach trips! Have you ever heard of the Greek Diet? It includes the twelve central "Pillar Foods," olive oil, yogurt, vegetables, beans, seafood, whole grains, wine, fruit, herbs and spices, coffee and tea, nuts, and seeds and chicken and eggs. This diet emulates a Mediterranean style of eating to help you quickly and healthily lose the extra weight. The Greek way of eating has been commended for its positive effects on your heart.
It's no secret that the best olives in the world are produced in Greece. Some of the most familiar Greek olives are the 'Black Olives' and 'Green Olives.' Similar to Greek olive oil, Greek olives contain one of the most fundamental elements from the famous Mediterranean Diet.
Cretan cuisine focuses on all-natural ingredients and can be enjoyed at any local tavern throughout the islands. Some dishes include Dakos, Gamopilafo, Mizithropita, and Apaki.
