Everybody loves Italian food! Well, almost everybody. The great thing is that it's not just good, but if you're careful it's one of the healthiest diets in the world. The Mediterranean diet, with emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates in the form of pasta or rice, virgin olive oil, and fish and chicken for protein is not just healthy but can even help you lose weight.
The latest research shows that a glass of wine with the meal not only makes you fell great but helps burn those calories. We offer you a selection of sites about food, most in Italian.
We welcome suggestions and feedback, please write
Ciao * Italy
