What are the disadvantages of a Mediterranean diet?

I could never go full veggie or vegan but with the hot weather I have been eating lighter meals lately and I have to confess I have enjoyed it.

Mainly I've been having salad and grains like cous cous, quinoa or rice, lentils with smoked salmon or mackeral, plus olives, avocado, tomatoes... it makes such a difference after I've eaten to be 'satisfied' and not hungry anymore, but not full or stuffed or sluggish.

Anyone who eats this way could they point me to more recipes or foods and tell me any downsides? With the fish I am guessing it would make me unpopular in the office 🤣

I have read a lot that oily fish, olives etc are 'good for you' but what is the reason? 🤔

Check for preservatives in meat, as those may be carcinogenic. If you'd like, I can send you some vegan recipes over gmail; I know you're not interested in going all in on that as of now, but it'll be nice to have in case that changes. <3

@BlueVeins I wouldn't even know where to start.
Usually my shopping / eating habits are cheap and processed, and I know it isn't good

@helsbels well if you send me your Gmail address, my recipes might help with that
