Following the Mediterranean diet has never been this thanks to the slow cooker You won t even feel you are on a diet The slow cooker is probably one of the greatest culinary inventions of modern times. It not only allows you the freedom to go about your day without having to worry about preparing a meal; the slow cooking process makes meat more succulent and infuses your meals with bursts of flavor that can be achieved in no other way. Many people associate slow cookers with rich stews and hearty roasts, but they can also prepare food for other diets-and the Mediterranean diet is one that benefits greatly from the use of a slow cooker. The Mediterranean diet is a heart-healthy diet that eliminates added sugars, trans fat, refined grains and oils, processed meat and all highly processed food products, and a slow cooker doesn't require added oils, processed meats or refined grains to create amazing, delicious, healthy meals. Although many of these recipes may have some flour or a few other extras, they are still much healthier than standard North American cuisine. The Mediterranean diet is known to contribute to the improvement of overall health and decreased incidences of cancer and high blood pressure. The whole grains used in the recipes from this region contain few unhealthy fats, while the liberal use of nuts, avocados, salmon and tuna supplies plenty of healthy fats. The recipes in this book show you how to use your slow cooker to prepare heart-healthy Mediterranean meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert. Snacks, appetizers, and sides are not neglected either. You'll be able to enjoy a wonderful slow-cooked side dish with a fillet of salmon-rich in omega-3 fatty acid, or toss ingredients into the slow cooker at night and wake up to warm, tasty meal to start your day.
