Poultry and Meats

As we’ve said, poultry, beef, pork and lamb are eaten only once or twice a month in most Mediterranean homes. You may need to slowly wean yourself from hamburgers, thick steaks and pork chops, but you need to in order to reduce the unhealthy saturated fats that affect your heart, arteries and body fat ratio. This is key to following the Mediterranean way of eating.

When you do have a meat dish, try these principles for getting the meat you want without hurting your diet:

Choose the leanest cuts you possibly can and trim any visible fat.

If possible, choose organic meats.

Steer clear of all ground meats-even the “lean” ones are too high in fat and low in nutrients.

Watch your portions. The leanest cultural groups in the world use meat as a flavoring, not as the star of a meal.
