The Mediterranean Diet Breakfast
“The history of diet plan dated from the moment that the first monkey evoluted to be a lady”. My confidant jessica always says so. Wow, you may get the point. Just as what she says, her “process of becoming beauty” turns out to be a long long road like the human being evolution history.When we were sophomore, I had to catch her back to our dormitory from square, because this guy actually asked me such questions, “wil, why are there so much candy floating on ground? Are they sweety? Could I have them?”. Well, you couldn’t eat them until you became transformer. I told myself. What could I do? The only thing was to buy real candy and huge hamburgs feeding this extreme hungry girl having no food for three days!Then the next time, I saved her life from endless jogging and aerobic training. After that, jessica experiences differential “keep-fit” programs, and I go through kinds of rescue stories.The only result I get from jessica’s lession is that losing weight is really really hard, and beauty is cruel. I comfort myselt that it is not bad to be Ugly Betty, at least I could be safe and I am alive.Yet one day, jessica turns up again, glamorously and brightly. No baby fat, no laziness, but body tight and healthy!I even couldn’t believe my eyes. What have you met? A generous orthopedic surgeon?She smiles mysteriously, and gives me the data. What is it? I read it with suspicion at first. Yet during the process of reading, I am really convinced of by Isabel De Rios. Yes, that is the truth of beauty—no harm for health, and be energetic.Then I do some detailed study on The Diet Solution Program, Isabel De Rios’ theory. I find that two new viewpoints bright Diet Solution Program.The first is that you are what you eat. Of course we eat everyday, and acquire energy from food. Yet maybe people don’t know that some food are good—nutritional for them; some food are bad—harmful for them. The Diet Solution Program tells people how to choose food, and what and when to eat.The second is to free people’s nature, so they could design their own diet plans on different circumstances. It means that people will not obey strict rules, for example people could only have one apple a day, or the calories is less than 100. Otherwise the diet plan would be failed!To be frank, I have never met such easy and useful the diet solution program. Only a few days later. I feel the whole body is full of energy, the fat disappears, even the pores on face is smaller.What a magic program! You could read the ebook here , and another beautiful one for yourself.

Turkish Bread Topped With Smoked Salmon and Hummus. (Serves 2)

2 slices Turkish bread, sliced down the middle to form 2 squares. 2 Tabspns hummus 4 smoked salmon slices 1 avocado 1 medium tomato lettuce, a few leaves 1 cucumber chopped fresh dill chopped fresh chives 2 teaspns capers 1 teaspn virgin olive oil 2 lemon wedges salt and pepper

Oily fish such as salmon is consumed on a regular basis on the Mediterranean Diet. The omega-3’s that are contained in these types of fish are excellent for heart health.
Mediterranean Style Omelet. (2 generous serves, or 4 with toast.)
Ingredients:
1 medium tomato, diced 1 bell pepper, any color 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped 2 cloves garlic 2 green onions, chopped 1 teaspn extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspn lemon juice 1 Tabspn fresh parsley, chopped 2 Tabspn skim milk 4 eggs 1 Tabspn fresh herbs, chopped, select whatever you prefer, eg: chives, oregano, rosemary, or basil 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
Method:
Combine tomato, bell pepper, olives, garlic, green onions, olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley in a small bowl. Let sit for a few minutes. Combine eggs, milk, and herbs in another bowl, and whisk. Heat non-stick fry pan or specific omelet pan, and add half the combined egg mix. Reduce heat, cook for 1 or 2 minutes. When omelet has browned around the edges and the top has lost most of its moisture, add half of the vegetable mix, to one side only of the omelet. (Much like cutting a circle in 2.) Add half the feta cheese. Gently fold omelet over to cover the cheese and vegetables, creating a half circle.
Cover the pan and cook for about another minute. Turn off heat and allow omelet to sit a little longer until warmed through. Then gently slide onto plate.
Repeat above instructions with remaining ingredients. Can be served with Turkish bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, or a high grain crusty bread. (Remember traditional Mediterranean recipes would not be using butter on the toast or bread.)
Conclusion.
These easy Mediterranean recipes use Mediterranean foods that are easily available in most parts of the world. The fresh vegetables and herbs are typical ingredients for Mediterranean food recipes and will allow you a certain leeway in substituting your own favorites.
Don’t forget, that one of the reasons that the Mediterranean diet is so healthy is that Mediterranean recipes use extra virgin olive oil. This is the olive oil made from the first pressing of the olives and contains far more health bestowing anti-oxidants than the following pressings which result in virgin olive oil and olive oil.
