My Iceland Diet - The Weekly Plan

3 x 7 dishes for a week of Icelandic diet


My "Iceland Diet" is about a long-term diet that is intended to lower blood fat and blood sugar levels and thus reduce excess weight in the long term in order to prevent cardiovascular diseases and diabetes or to improve existing diseases.

It is important to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, especially root vegetables, cabbage, rhubarb, mushrooms, herbs, as well as blueberries, crowberries and other berries, apples and pears. To fill you up, there are products made from rye flour or whole grain rye flour, potatoes, oat and barley. Plus a lot of fish, relatively little meat, as well as milk and dairy products such as cheese and of course Icelandic Skyr.

I once put together a "meal plan" for a week - 7 breakfast dishes, 7 salad dishes and 7 warm dishes.

Of course you can also combine it to your taste - salad with bread, grilled fish with salad, ...

Berjaþeytingur - berry smoothie
Áfasaftablanda - buttermilk mix with blackcurrant juice
