WELLNESS
The Mediterranean Diet
Like the vegan diet, the
Mediterranean diet is a
vegetable-heavy diet that
avoids a lot of meat. However,
it does not eliminate it
altogether. This diet has been
proven to aid management
of depression. Furthermore, it
works wonders in controlling
blood sugar levels, thereby
leading to weight loss. For
this type of diet to work, it is
recommended that olive oil
be adopted as an alternative
for butter salad dressings or
marinades. It also emphasizes
adding vegetables to each
meal as well as opting for fish
as opposed to chicken. One
should also consider including
whole grains, nuts and herbs to
one’s diet.

Keto/Protein Diet
Many people aren’t strangers
to the keto diet which is a high
protein diet. As much as this
diet is recommended, the Keto
diet has its downside for peoply
who do not do it properly. Most
people miss its dictates and end
up gaining weight instead of
losing it.
One of the biggest
misconceptions about this type
of diet is that you can eat any
kind of meat or you have to
eat ONLY meat! The keto diet
consists of eating foods such as
white meat (skinless chicken),
eggs, milk, nuts etc. These are all
sources of protein, compared to
eating red meat which is highly
unhealthy for your heart. If done
right, the keto diet goes a long
way to improving your energy
levels and losing weight.
