When the evidence came out about the Med "diet", I thought it seemed reasonable at the time. So I stuck with it. I really have not thought a lot about it. I have recently looked into the whole Paleo thing, but I guess I love my bread, rice and pasta to much to give it totally up. I have also looked into going more vegan, but then again, there are things that I could not handle leaving off my plate.

When I was growing up, my mom like Julia Child and did a lot of French type cooking. I think Julia's main thing with food is to just eat the real thing but just in moderation. So I have been doing the moderation thing but also making sure I am eating enough fruits, and veggies as well.

My only other problem has been my wacky thyroid. Until I was on meds, my metabolism shot through the roof. I have lost weight and had to recover from that once I was put back on the right dosage. So my snacks have been nuts, payday bars and snickers bars. A few rice cakes with Nutella, as well as, protein bars for the quick fix when needed. I have never had to balance my weight as much as I have until recently with the whole thyroid thing.
