while watching the Doctors this morning this was on their show .. so i decided to do some research .. well what do ya know I'm pretty much eating this diet i just add in the bad things that are not considered so i guess if i could cut out the bad foods i would be good to go .. i use nothing but olive oil .. i use the red wine vinegar on my salads and use it to marinate chicken .. i love eating olives and feta cheese, greek yogurt .. i guess I'm on the right path lol maybe this time around i can make losing the weight work!!

The Mediterranean diet is very healthy! But it's a way of living a healthy life, not necessarily a weight loss diet unless you make it that way. Basically you'll eat lots of vegetables, some fruit, a little dairy and fish, and use olive oil as your fat source but in careful amounts. Plus lots of activity. But not a lot of olives and feta cheese

Check out our Sonoma and Mediterranean Diet forum for lots of tips

thank you Suzanne .. i knew that it wasn't really a diet but more as a way of living .. so that's what i referred to it as lol .. i like olives and feta but not enough to eat to much of it lol .. thanks for the link i didn't even think to look on here for it!!

I just discovered that Trader Joe's offers a fat-free feta cheese And it's got no sugar or filler crap in it. Viva la mediterraneane! (Or something like that.)

hmm wonder if walmart carries it .. I'm heading there shortly .. then i could make my feta and watermelon salad .. yum!!

Yum! Now that's something I can get excited about.

I think the thing about eating Mediterranean is their focus on real, not processed foods combined with their activity. I really believe that makes all the difference.
