Starting the Mediterranean Diet!

[KatTheAmazon]

And i'm very excited! I've never followed a specified diet because i never felt right about cutting certain things from my diet (even though i still was not eating the way i should!!). However, i really like what the Mediterranean Diet has to offer. I also really like mediterranean food

I really like the whole grains, the veggies, and the fruit. What has suprised me, after my first day, is the AMOUNT of veggies and fruits. I admit, i never got in my recommended servings of either. Reading it is one thing- the visual is amazing! For lunch 2/3 of my meal was veggies/fruit. It was a huge eye opener compared to what i usually eat.

I'm very excited! I want to be healthier and i believe this is the road that will help me the most!

Welcome Kat. There are few things on this diet you can't eat except junk so not much to cut out. I have found the food to be extremely enjoyable and much to my surprise and even learning to enjoy cooking. One of the other things I love about this diet is I will never run out of new things to try! The possibilities are almost endless.
