Greek yoghurt, walnuts and berries
Balanced approach
Mediterranean Low-Carb
A plant-rich pattern with fish, olive oil and a gentler reduction in carbohydrate.
This approach combines Mediterranean-style food quality with a lower-carb plate. It emphasises vegetables, seafood, olive oil, herbs and shared meals rather than strict tracking or heavy restriction.

Worth considering
Bread, pasta and snack foods can quietly crowd back in. Keep portions intentional rather than treating them as unlimited.
Dietary changes can affect health conditions and medications. Talk with a qualified health professional about your circumstances.
