Hi Everyone,

I am new this group and glanced over most saying or have questions about the Mediterranean diet. For me, it was a simpler transition to the diet because it was what I grew up with with my Italian Grandparents. From a religion prospective its like eating lent food - just daily, if that helps anyone. Here is an image that may help people out. BTW... the Keto diet makes absolutely no sense to me - if it works for you great but I feel there are better options.

Update: I could not upload the image and since I'm new I cannot share the link, lol. It is on the Cleveland clinic website and it is article 16037 - Mediterranean diet. That should help one google it, if you would like to check it out.

Welcome @klm3, you will be allowed to post URLs in a few days. Allow me to post the link to the Cleveland Clinic page for you:
--- Mediterranean Diet: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/16037-mediterranean-diet.

I don't do the Keto diet, in fact I don't think any diet is that good of an idea mainly because if you think of it as a "diet" then it seems more like punishment. 🙃 I did make a lifestyle change to eat fewer carbs, less sugar and to avoid processed foods. I also found that using intermittent fasting regularly that I can eat pretty much what I want and still maintain my weight.

I'm glad to hear you have something that works for you. There are some other discussions you might find helpful in the Healthy Living Support Group here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/healthy-living/.

Do you mind sharing how you found Mayo Clinic Connect?
