Salad Nicoise Mediterranean Diet Treat

Salad Nicoise

The Mediterranean diet is well as an healthy diet alternative. I have launched a 28 day gluten free-Mediterranean intermittent fasting program. It incorporates colorful fruits and vegetables, hearty fish β€” plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps even a glass of red wine β€” among other components characterizing the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Although historically rich in grains, this diet is easily made gluten free.

Hey its the next best thing to being there.
