Think Mediterranean.

The incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean countries is lower than in the United States. Mediterranean's follow a diet that has: a high consumption of fruits, beans, veggies, seeds an nuts. Dairy products, fish and poultry are eaten in low moderation. Olive oil is an important monounsaturated fat. Try picking one day out of the week to follow a Mediterranean diet. It is a great idea to add low fat fish into your diet at least once a week. Here is a great low fat, clean Mediterranean dinner :)
