Martina Slajerova
In The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, best-selling ketogenic author Martina Slajerova presents a keto-
optimised refinement of the worlds superdiet.
Description
The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook is your guidebook to the ultimate superdiet, an optimised keto diet that
emphasises a diversity of fish and plant oils and a rainbow of colourful vegetables-with 100 delicious recipes for
everything from snacks to dinner.
The Mediterranean diet has long been touted as one of the worlds healthiest diets, renowned for its ameliorative effects
on heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. However, its heavy inclusion of grains and carbohydrates is a
drawback for many. Also shown to have many health benefits, the ketogenic diet stimulates the fat-burning state of
ketosis by limiting carbs and emphasising high-fat foods, including dairy and meat, some of which are high in saturated
fat. While the keto diet is about the proportion of macronutrients (fats,protein, carbohydrates) in the food you eat, the
Mediterranean diet is about specific food types: seafood, colourful fruits and vegetables, olive oil, and other anti-
inflammatory foods. This book is about living and eating at the intersection of these complementary diets so you can reap
the benefits of both while minimising the pitfalls of each.
While both diets advocate significant amounts of healthy fats and protein, the new Mediterranean approach to Keto
significantly shifts the fat profile of the diet. Instead of leaning heavily toward meat, dairy, and animal sources like red
meat, bacon, and butter to hit the required fat macros, in this new Mediterranean diet, fat is sourced primarily from fish
oils and plant sources such as olive, nut, and coconut oils. This yields a better omega-3 and vitamin D profile. The
Mediterranean approach is also more inclusive of colourful vegetables, which yields a better micronutrient profile and
higher fibre content. The result is an enhanced Mediterranean diet that stokes metabolism, supports the gut and
microbiome, and is anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, and nutrient-dense.
With The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, you'll learn how to balance your macronutrients, what foods are considered
the new Mediterranean superfoods, and make tasty dishes to keep you satisfied all day.
