Should I count calories?
A question that many people wonder is: should I count calories? Calorie counting can be scary for some people or make them nervous because of the amount of math or worrying that they'll do it wrong. The Mediterranean Diet takes that into account, so instead of asking should I count calories? The really question becomes: Why would I count calories? If you follow the Mediterranean Diet, the answer is up to you.

The Mediterranean Diet has been getting a ton of press and medical research lately. And for good reason. The results have been proven. This is episode 2 of our series on how to use the Med Diet.
