The Nordic Diet stems from traditional cuisine in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Norway. Unlike the Mediterranean diet, the Nordic plan allows a wide array of cooking oils and healthy fats. It also emphasizes buying nutritious foods from local vendors when possible.

People on the Nordic Diet limit red meats and animal fats. Instead, they receive protein from eggs, legumes, dairy, and lean meats.
