    Default I want to try the Mediterranean Diet !

    I am wanting to try a solid Med diet because I am getting closer to mid life and want to keep my heart healthy . Does anyone know about this diet and typically what kinds of foods I should stock in my kitchen?
    I know it entails olive oil and nuts or something like that.

    What does this seem like

    A Greek salad with chicken (includes olive, jalepeno pepper and light dressing).
    Some non fat greek yogurt
    Bagel with cheese
    Bread toasted dipped in olive oil
    Turkey with cranberry dressing

    Some cashew nuts. I also like to have broccoli and baby corn and some peas.

    Yeah the best step is just to replace all of your oils (and butter, etc) with olive oil--preferably extra virgin... use it with everything. I haven't used butter in more than a decade, and I don't miss it...

    I dont understand how people who dont take medication or have some sort of problem with their thyroid or whatever have difficulties to lose weight

    just eat less

    eat healthier

    and preferably do some workout

    thats it ....

    in my older days before I took medication whenever I wanted to get leaner I just ate less and replaced the junk food with more healthy foods and went to the gym more or went jogging etc. and I was a lot thinner within 1-2 months

    I dont understand how you can struggle ....now for me with my medication that fucks up my metabolism it is harder but even I am not that fat . I dont understand people who are healthy but are fat as fuck . some self control please ...

    Because once you get really fat and stay there, it alters the DNA making it nearly impossible to maintain a healthy weight.

    I dont think this is true

    the difference is that when you build new fat cells that your body will MORE EASILY get to that weight up again if you dont watch out . you basically set a new milestone with the new weight the more you go up

    other than that it is still possible to lose weight when you are otherwise healthy and dont take medication . you just need to eat less than you burn

    Of course you can lose the weight, but formerly fat people actually burn less calories than their perpetually lean counter parts. Making it much easier to regain all that weight you have lost.

    sounds healthy. i use olive oil instead of fat or butter for cooking.

    You don't need these diets and complex things. When u make it too difficult for yourself, you'll never do it. Keep it simple and realistic.
    I lost mine by eating the minimum and light workouts it went in 6 weeks. It's simple formula 'eat less and burn more.

    I highly recommend water only fasting for ideal body weight.

    Stop eating for few days , you won't die .
