I am just learning about Mediterranean/Sonoma Diet, I am impressed with it an want to incorporate it into my life. I find message boards are helpful to me for accountability, support, knowledge, ect. But I dont care for the Facebook style, I like message board type like 3fatchicks. Just wish this board was more active.
It is a strong desire of mine to find a way to eat clean through the week an have Saturday as a free day (while maintaining within 2lbs of goal weight). My fiancee and I really enjoy jumping on the Harley's on Saturdays an going on some long ride to some dive for cheeseburger/pizza/beer or coffee shop an pie, or picnic with cheese/crackers/wine or ice cream parlor. We love to be in nature an Rick (my fiancee) loves photography and fishing. I don't want to have to worry about what I eat one day out of the week, I just want to enjoy life without weighing, counting, worrying about food.
I like how healthy this diet appears, how it fights off so many diseases, how enjoyable it sounds an looks and also that some say this is the way Jesus ate. How can u go wrong?
We have been making better food choices these last couple months an we are naturally going in this direction anyway. Oh, the other thing I like is that many dishes appear to be quite simple to make. I despise cooking! But my fiancee likes to cook simple things an seems to have a flare for spicing simple things up easy. He can make something simple as a baked potato seem gourmet. 
Anyway, I ramble...lol
Maybe someone could start a Monthly thread to get things going? I want to learn more about this diet an use your guys experience/recipes (the simple ones anyways)
Hope to find friendship an support here, an I'll try to return it.
Stayc
