What should be included or excluded to get a "Mediterranean diet"?

Q. I know a Mediterranean diet is basically rich in tomatoes and olive oil, pasta, and salads. I don't know about their saturated fat intake but they seem to be big on cheese and cold cuts. But what about spices. Maybe they have less heart trouble because of something in the spice category? Or is it just the olive oil? What spices are common in such Mediterranean diets?

A. My wife started us on what she calls a Mediterranean diet. She says we don't eat meat, or poultry. In our version is fish, fruit, vegetables and whole grain. Common spices are basil, cilantro, curries. dill
Think less heart trouble is a combination of all.
She also has us on fat binders to reduce or fat intake.

I recently started the mediterranean diet and im having trouble with breakfast foods, any ideas?
Q. I have looked through many cook books but none offer any breakfast recipies or ideas!

A. Turkey is on the Mediterranean Sea. Does that help?

What exactly is in the Mediterranean diet?
Q. I know what to eat daily, weekly, and monthly, but what specific kinds of veggies nuts and grains were they eating?

My mom's going shopping, and I want to put together a list of healthy nuts and grains.

A. The Mediterranean diet is actually a diet the comprises lots of vegetables, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits and olive oil. It also contains dairy products like cheese, wine, fish and red meat, though in smaller amount compared to the first group mentioned earlier. There are no specific nuts or grains to go for. Just include more in-season whole products (not highly processed types with lots of additives, salt and what have you) you can find into your diet.

According to studies, the Mediterranean diet has anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive effects. An adaptation of the Mediterranean diet is the anti-inflammatory diet which you can find out more from the second link below.
