Week 1 on the Mediterranean Diet + Beginner's Grocery List
A few weeks back, Jared established primary care with a new doctor and discussed the possibility of embarking on the Mediterranean diet (or “way of life” as we like to call it, diet just sounds problematic) for healthier living. Today, we’re sharing about our experience Week 1 on the Mediterranean Diet with a beginner’s grocery list for handy access if you’d like to join in!
Since childhood, Kathryn has always been Pescatarian (someone who is vegetarian with the exception of seafood), so eating Mediterranean has basically been her life since forever. It has proved to be a bit more of a challenge for Jared, but we’re giving it our best shot! There’s plenty of ways to incorporate poultry AND seafood into your Mediterranean foods, too, by the way. :)
