@loribmt Just read your message again. I’m sorry; I
seem to have missed what you’ve been going through. It was very early when I responded. Yes, I understand that fasting wasn’t possible for you in the immediate aftermath of a transplant. Sounds like you have a good balance in terms of diet and exercise though. Regarding the Med diet, I heard that by far the reason the diet is good is mainly only from the benefits of high quality organic olive oil.

Hi @samlupowitz Actually, all of my leukemia/transplant drama is behind me. I’ve been living my 2nd best life for almost 7 years now. ☺️
There are a zillion controversial opinions on what diet is the best with anything from extreme fasting to continual grazing, from paleo to vegan. I think the importance is for each individual to be happy what works for them. Though of course there may be consequences to bad choices. ☺️
Regarding the Med diet, my thoughts are basically that it is a clean, balanced, uncomplicated, nutritional diet. I agree the high quality organic olive oil is a key component. But also the diet avoids processed foods, which are hugely detrimental to our health with high amounts of sodium, sugars, nasty fats. It’s also loaded with healthy antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Plus it’s varied and palatable. If for no other reason, it’s a good, foundational diet.
