I'm sure some of you have read about this recent study:

Just wondering if anyone is still eating a Mediterranean-type diet? I know Paleo, low-carb, and gluten-free are all the rage, but I've always been a bit skeptical of anything that is "the rage". For instance, I was eating low-carb in the year 2000, when most were still eating low-cal or low-fat. Lost 15 lbs. off my small frame and have kept it off (primarily through exercise, as I went off low-carb years ago), for the most part, ever since.
Anywho...without really trying, my DH and I eat closer to a Mediterranean diet than anything else. We eat very little red meat, nothing fried, mostly just chicken breast when we do eat meat. Would like to eat more fish, but it's not easily available fresh here (amazingly, and very sadly!) We eat lots and lots of veggies, supplemented by lots of beans, walnuts and peanuts; whole-wheat couscous, pasta, and tortillas; a bit of cheese, but not a lot, and a ton of fruit. Lots of olive oil and tomato products. Not much wine since it is so pricey here, but we'll be changing that when we move back to the US -- wine will be our "go to" adult beverage of choice. (I can't wait! I have missed wine a LOT.)
