Sound familiar?
If any of these statements resonate with you,
you're in the right place!
Hi, I'm Elaine. I'm a Wellness Educator, Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert, and Cheat Sheet Maven. As a former Jenny Craig Weight Loss Consultant, I realized that you don't need more diet rules and food restrictions—you need variety, flexibility, and a solid framework for healthy eating that you can easily customize and build upon to create sustainable habits that will serve you for a lifetime. So I’ve created an eating approach that does exactly that. This new hybrid eating system embraces dietary diversity by merging the Vegan, Mediterranean, and Paleo diets in a unique way that I call The Mixiterranean Lifestyle.
INTRODUCING:
The MIXITERRANEAN Lifestyle Made Easy
eBook
EMBRACING DIETARY DIVERSITY
Finally, the diet solution you've been waiting for!
mix: to combine, unite, or join
-terranean: of or relating to the earth
The MIXITERRANEAN Lifestyle mixes up the best of three top diets, Vegan, Mediterranean &
Paleo, and emphasizes what they all have in common—eating mostly fresh, whole foods from the earth!
The MixiterraneaN Lifestyle
Food Philosophy
"Eat fresh, whole foods from the earth, unprocessed and unrefined, most of the time, and enjoy guiltless indulgences once in a while."
The MIXITERRANEAN Lifestyle
Cheat Sheet
The Mixiterranean Lifestyle is a diverse and flexible way of eating that emphasizes the commonalities of the Vegan, Mediterranean, and Paleo diets. It gives you the freedom to explore, experiment, and create a personalized eating plan that supports your unique biochemistry and current health goals. The foods in the center of the diagram make up the basis of the diet. From there, you can "lean out" towards any one of the three diets at any time—for a meal, a day, a week, or any interchangeable way you'd like.
As a Mixiterranean, you never have to worry about going off your diet again!
What's a Mixiterranean?
A Mixiterranean is someone who is tired of dietary dogma and restrictive dieting, so instead embraces dietary diversity—eating a wide variety of foods, mostly from the earth.
A
Mixiterranean mixes up the best of three top diets—Vegan, Mediterranean, and Paleo—to create a customized eating plan that aligns with his or her taste preferences and health objectives.
EVERY recipe in the eBook includes the ingredient list and directions
to make the meal either Vegan, Mediterranean or Paleo!
- Do you want an animal-free morning? Have a Vegan breakfast.
- Are you craving a little meat at noon? Eat a Paleo Lunch.
- Do you feel like having an evening glass of wine? Enjoy a Mediterranean dinner.
Voilà, you're a Mixiterranean!
And, you can create an endless number of signature dishes without a recipe using the one-page mix-and-match meal formula cheat sheets to make:
Customizing your own meals to suit your personal taste preferences and health goals gives you food freedom—and is the key to long-term success.
Because when you enjoy what you’re eating and how your living while you’re losing weight, it doesn't feel like torture, you don't feel like you're missing out, and the weight stays off permanently—no willpower required!
Dietary diversity is the way our ancestors ate since the beginning of time.
For many people, dietary diversity is the magic formula for optimal health.
Dietary diversity is the way our ancestors ate since the beginning of time. The foundation of their diet was mostly plants (Vegan), and when it was available, they ate animal foods (Mediterranean, Paleo).
Dietary diversity ensures that over time, you're getting all the important nutrients your body needs to thrive by eating a wide variety of nutritious foods.
Dietary diversity keeps your body from adapting to any one diet and becoming stagnant, which can cause food sensitivities and slow down weight loss or weight maintenance.
Dietary diversity increases bacterial diversity, which strengthens the friendly bacteria in your gut and greatly improves your health.
By following this diverse, plant-centric eating approach you can expect to experience:
- unstoppable energy
- reduced chronic inflammation
- healthier, more youthful looking skin
- less bloating and belly fat
- stabilized blood sugar levels
- mental sharpness and clarity
- hormonal balance
- inner-calmness
- vibrant overall-health
- a longer, more enjoyable & delicious life!
With all the confusion out there about what to eat and where to begin, The MIXITERRANEAN Lifestyle gives you a solid nutrition foundation and a perfect starting point on your personal journey to vibrant health and longevity. You can veer off in the direction of any one of these three eating styles—Vegan, Mediterranean, or Paleo—any time you choose, using the interchangeable recipes.
This is the last eating plan you'll ever need, because once you master the basics, you'll never have to go on another diet again! Before you know it, you’ll drop the labels, find your own unique eating style, and begin to nourish yourself the way your body naturally guides you.
This extensive eBook lays out the entire plan in full detail. It offers easily-digestible health and nutrition information and all the tools you need to meal prep like a pro—food guides, exchange lists, menus, recipes, grocery lists, meal formulas, prep-ahead plans, and blank templates—so you can seamlessly create a personalized eating plan that is delicious, enjoyable, and easy-to-follow.
Although there are many contradictions among the Vegan, Mediterranean, and Paleo diets, each one has been shown to:
- improve health outcomes
- reverse chronic conditions
- aid in weight loss
These positive health benefits are due to their similarities rather than their differences.
So can't we all just get along?
Knowledge—put into action—is power.
Much more than just a healthy eating plan, this complete all-in-one guide shows you how to meal plan & prep like a pro, while also teaching you the "whys" behind the healthy changes you are making. Because when your brain is on board, taking action and creating healthy, new habits becomes soooo much easier!

SAMPLE RECIPE
How to Read a MIXITERRANEAN Recipe
All the recipes are laid out in table format so you can easily determine which ingredients to use to make the meal either Vegan, Mediterranean, or Paleo. If an ingredient has a white background and no column boundaries, that ingredient is “universal,” meaning it complies with all three diets and should be included in the recipe. If an ingredient has a colored background (Vegan is green, Mediterranean is blue, and Paleo is orange), that specific ingredient corresponds to the diet matching its background color. Once you decide which diet you'd like to follow for a given recipe, simply include all the universal ingredients plus the ingredients that match the color for the desired diet.
MIXITERRANEAN Love . . .
After just one week, I feel so much better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Adding more vegetables to my diet was easy and the recipes are delicious! I love how the cheat sheets give me tons of ideas for all three diets so it's never boring. I feel lighter, less bloated, and I'm sleeping better. People at work are commenting on my beautiful, organized lunches! Goodbye rigid diets forever!
