Possibly the most popular question of the diet is what is not allowed on the Mediterranean diet.
To be honest, the diet is largely all about the moderation of food.
By moderation, I mean eating more of the fresh fruits and vegetables and less of the meats, sugars, and processed stuff.
Here is what is not allowed on the Mediterranean diet, or allowed in moderation.
I mentioned processed stuff, such as many snack foods (which most diets would agree should be avoided).
Other foods to avoid on the Mediterranean diet include refined sugar, refined grains (white flour etc) and non-vegetable based oils.
