Has anyone else tried to follow a version of the Mediterranean Diet?
I did off and on over the years. I know there are different versions as the countries around the Med. vary in what they eat, but there are some guiding principles that are easy to find when you look into the diet. I emphasized extra virgin olive oil, tons of veggies, some fish, etc. At different times I used more dairy. The idea of eating this way held a lot of appeal for different reasons not to mention it's been touted as one of the healthiest woe in the world. I never received any noticeable positive effects from it that I can think of. I find my Peat woe so far is giving me the results I've looked for.
Anyway, just thought it would be interesting to get others' thoughts on the Med. Diets.
