In reply to Averil. Thankyou Averil. Most feta now is made with pasteurized milk so there is no need to avoid it during pregnancy.

Hi Elena,
This information is great to read. I am wondering if you have information (or know of resources) around how this traditional diet changes as a woman develops throughout her life including pregnancy (do Cretan woman still eat feta?) and then supporting an infant from their first solids onwards (what was traditionally the first solids fed?)? Thanks 😀

In reply to weight loss tips.

In the traditional Mediterranean diet pattern, the largest, main meal was consumed midday between 1:00-3:00 pm, dinner was a smaller, lighter meal. Due to changes in lifestyle and work schedules, nowadays many Mediterraneans eat late dinners.

Question:

I’ve always heard that eating dinner early is healthier (glycogen storage, hormonal synthesis, insulin and melatonin levels, etc.). And yet promoted with the same rigor is the Mediterranean diet which, ingredients aside and if you’ve ever been to Spain, usually entails eating dinner at ridiculously late hours.

Anybody wanna give a shot at reconciling this for me?

Thanks!
