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.
