Reply to comment by wanderinggoat in Mediterranean diet may lower risk of pregnancy complications. Study Shows that those whose diet was highly similar to a Mediterranean diet had 21% lower risk of any adverse pregnancy outcome compared to those whose diet was highly different from a Mediterranean diet.

Whole grains are the carbohydrates.

But I think it's generally supposed to be vague because it's really just a different food pyramid. You don't need to eat specifically Greek or Sicilian or Moroccan food.

Part of the appeal of the Mediterranean diet is that there are a lot of cultures with similar food principles but very different flavors that you can pull from to still enjoy the food that is also improving your health.

The Mediterranean diet in any context you will generally hear about is simply a largely vegetarian diet almost devoid of red meat, with primary protein being oily fish high in omega-3s and poultry. Primary source of fat is olive oil. That's all.

Reply to comment by DopeDetective in Study demonstrates that how effectively an individual awakens in the hours following sleep is associated four independent factors: sleep quantity/quality the night before, physical activity the day prior, a breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast. by the_phet

I wake up the same way, but I've been in the same routine for so long I don't think I can actually say whether I'm in the best routine or not.

I do watch what I eat and am fairly active though.
