The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid has something no other food pyramid has.

And that's with very limited medical services. Sure says a lot for eating healthy and a healthy lifestyle.

The first thing you notice when you see the Mediterranean Pyramid is that much of the food consists of plant products.

This is in contrast to the typical western diet where much of the food we eat comes from animals, high in saturated fats. And we wonder why we have a weight problem….hmmm.

At the very bottom of the pyramid is physical activity. Whether it be brisk walking or running some kind of physical activity is essential to promoting a heart healthy lifestyle. Diet is important, but exercise is key to losing weight.

Yet another habit most of the western world does not subscribe to. With boxed digital entertainment we’ve become addicted to watching the world go by via mind numbing TV show, movies or video games, instead of getting out there and living it.

Again, no wonder western civilization has a growing weight problem.

But it’s never too late to start living healthy, and start losing weight.

The people of the Mediterranean have been doing it for centuries and have never felt better. What other diet has that kind of endorsement? None I tell you.

Just start trying to adopt some of the healthy habits of a goat herder on the island of Crete.

Like getting into the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, and getting out there walking or running.

You can do it, I know you can. Just look at me, I used to weight over 200 pounds before I got up off the couch and took control of my health.

Just print out this Pyramid and carry it around to keep you honest. It's worked for a lot of people and it can work for you.
