I don't see much posting on here and was wondering if this forum is still active?

Hi Bootsie.

I've been around about three years and to my sorrow this forum has never been very active compared to the others. I don't know why. You'd think the eating plan would be more popular!

I'm starting fresh this month and doing more the Mediterranean than Sonoma plan. I like lots of fruits, more than Wave 1 of Sonoma allows. But I get inspiration from reading the book.

I hang out mostly at Chicks Up for a Challege and Exercise forums.

I generally eat like this, although I keep tight control over carbs due to blood sugar issues. Lots of greens and vegetables, fish daily, healthy fats, no processed foods. But I don't have any questions about this plan, since it's how I roll anyways. Wish more people would eat like this. It's so very healthy. All my weight gain was because I stopped eating like this for a few years.

It looks like it is inactive, but I am still going to use it to track my weight and to post. Maybe someone will join me?

Hi Gail.
Welcome!
You might like to check the Chicks Up for a Challenge board. Lots of people enjoy tracking their weight and exercise in the monthly challenge threads.

It is now!!!.. or at least, I hope it can be brought back to life!.. I'm voraciously researching the Mediterranean Diet & hoping to fully change my WOE to this most healthy lifestyle... I'm particularly interested in the anti-inflammatory qualities of the diet, since I lost my brother last year to heart disease & cancer... besides that, I'm just ready to start feeling good, great, FANTASTIC!!!..

So, I hope to meet a lot of people here who have adopted the Mediterranean lifestyle & hear of your experiences with this WOE...

Hugs...

Howdy again!!!.. I just finished going through all 36 pages of this forum (Sonoma & Mediterranean), & on almost every page, there was at least one thread asking why this diet isn't more popular & if anybody's here... I don't get it either... the undeniably healthiest diet in the world, & nobody's talking about it???.. what gives?.. maybe because it doesn't promise quick weight loss?.. sure, I'd like to snap my fingers & lose 50 lbs., but we all know that isn't healthy... but the Mediterranean Diet IS healthy, regardless of how much we weigh & how fast we want to lose it...

OK, enough of that...

I'm easing into the Med Diet... I have gobs of books on the topic, been researching it for years... but every time I thought I'd get started, life threw troubles in my face, & I put it off... so, this time, I'm hoping any troubles will just slide off my back & let me do this...

Breakfast hasn't changed much from my former life... oatmeal & a fruit smoothie... it's lunch that's gradually changing, not as much meat & dairy, more veggies, beans, & whole grains... supper, I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I'm working on it...

I hope everybody is having a wonderful summer... it's half over, can you believe it?.. I'm not really a hot weather gal, so I'm already looking forward to fall...

Hugs...
