The Original Mediterranean Diet for Weight loss
Well, let me quickly relate to my own experience where I learned that
when you're busy with day to day things or preoccupied with family or friends, your weight can sometimes creep up on you without you noticing. That is, until you realize your clothes don't fit as they once did or at one brief horrifying moment, you catch a glimpse of a few excess bulges in the mirror. Most of us are going through, have gone through, or will go through the same unpleasant moment. I know this much because it happened to me so you're not alone! I became so frustrated when I tried powders and tablets because they were 'yukky' and they took away any enjoyment I ever had at meal time. I no sooner sat down to eat and all I wanted to do was leave the table almost immediately. I thought "I can't keep this up!" I was right, I couldn't. Then I tried the 'rabbit' thing. Dry uninteresting biscuits with lettuce, carrots and celery etc. I was sure my ears were growing. That didn't last long either. Finally, I relented and started one of the so called 'fad' diets. This wasn't too bad to start with but I soon became listless, my skin started to get dry and I was the very opposite to enthusiastic about anything especially exercise of any sought. I changed to another fad diet. This also had its shortcomings. Not wanting to give up, I started searching the net and libraries every spare moment I had. I approached some doctors & researchers and this led me to discover the Mediterranean Diet. With great relief, I soon found it has an abundance of supporting evidence - stacks of verification, proof, research and very pleasing outcomes. Unlike some of the diets cooked up in someones head over night, the Mediterranean diet has a long healthy history. It was only days before I started feeling vibrant again. I wanted to get out there and walk and be active so much, I thought I would burst. You can imagine the feeling after so many disappointments. My family was a little sceptical of a change in diet but now they call me during the day to see what I'm going to cook that night. Big change in my life! As a result of my weight loss and my new healthy lifestyle, many of our friends & relations have taken up the Medierranean diet as well. So now we're all swapping recipes and discovering new tastes - there are so many recipes from all over the Mediterranean that it seems endless. That's really a good thing though because there will always be something new to try. http://weightlosspb.blogspot.com/# |
