You may have heard this diet called, "The Ancient Greek Diet", this diet happens to be very old and traditional. Some Greeks have now modernized the old traditional diet and replaced it with the Westernized Greek Diet. These two diets aren't the same and shouldn't be mistaken. If you want to learn more about the western diet, click "Westernized Greek Diet".
