Combining a Wheat-free Lifestyle and the Mediterranean Diet
Following a wheat-free diet can be very frustrating and it is always easier if you stick to naturally gluten free products such as fresh vegetables, lean meat and fish, protein-rich legumes, raw nuts and seeds, eggs and most dairy products. And that is exactly what the Mediterranean diet is all about – preparing delicious meals with local, everyday products that we can buy around the corner or grow in our own backyard. No processed foods with obscure and hidden additives, just replacing the wheat with healthier and tastier gluten-free alternatives like brown rice, buckwheat, amaranth or quinoa.
Adopting a Mediterranean diet can be easy and cheap, and combining it with a wheat-free lifestyle is very rewarding because it gives you different ideas and recipes and helps you avoid the diet boredom. You only have to be a little creative and will discover that there are endless food combinations and tasty, versatile, rich and healthy wheat-free meals for the whole family to enjoy!
