We have talked with 5 athletes who mention a mediterranean diet.
Joana Varbichkova (female, 33)

Gabriella Ripepi (female, 29)
How Competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Took Me Around the World and Back Home Again I’m from southern Italy so we use the mediterranean diet. It’s a lifestyle, rather than just a list of foods.
Francesco Pelizza (male, 33)
This is How I Earned My Recognition in Competitive Powerlifting I do eat 1900-2300kcal per day (sometimes less) in mainly three meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with a typical mediterranean diet made of any meat, fish and other proteins source of Italian cultural food.
Goran Borkovic (male, 32)
How I Made a Remarkable Comeback to Bodybuilding After a Serious Motorcycle Accident Warm sunny days (more than 300 sunny days per year), nice and extremely tasty Mediterranean food followed by quality wines and domestic products, smaller islands with beautiful crystal waters and blues bays…just like in the movies, right. But then I’m training 3-4 days per week just to keep myself in shape as much as possible.
Sara Bigatti (female, 28)
How I Went from Sales Consultant to Personal Trainer and Fitness Studio Owner My diet has a lot of variety but I mostly follow a Mediterranean diet.
