Atlantic diet
The Atlantic diet refers the traditional eating habits of people in Portugal, with a particular emphasis on the north,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and Galicia, in Northwestern Spain;[7][8][5][6] which focuses on unprocessed foods, vegetables and fruits, nuts, whole grain bread, fish, dairy, eggs, olive oil and some red meat and wine.[9][10] As both emphasize avoiding processed foods,[10] the Atlantic diet is similar to the Mediterranean diet.[11] The Atlantic diet involves more fish, milk, potatoes, bread, red meat and pork, while the Mediterranean diet has more pasta, beans and seeds, and greater emphasis on fat from extra-virgin olive oil rather than fatty fish like mackerel, sardines and salmon.[12][13][14]
