Discover the Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet | Expert Insights

I am very intrigued about the Mediterranean Diet and I am wondering if anyone is following it.

LOL - I would LOVE to follow it, but cannot convince DH & DS to follow me!

I do try to adhere to alot of the principles of it though - very little red meat, lots of fish, lots of veggies, small amounts of dairy - mostly as yogurt and cheese, and olive oil in place of other fats.

hm, so is it similiar to like the South Beach? I did that one and it worked for awhile but then my body got stuck in a plateau.

I could so do it - I love that type of cooking. I had a steak for the first time in months on Sat night and I said to myself that you know it was good but I could easily give it up. I love love seafood, veggies, salsas, taboulleh, things like that. Its getting my DH and the rest of the family to go along that is the problem and I cant and refuse to cook two different eals everynight. For awhile it would work, but it would get old fast.

I need to do more research.

I have been having a hard time with minimizing the protein on this eating plan. I love chicken, steak and pork. Going to gradually adjust my eating into this and see what happens.
