A Day in the Plate

Day one. I have a feeling I'm not doing this quite right. On the plus side, I didn't get hungry between meals and this is way healthier than I usually eat. No fried chicken, gravy or cake! Whoa. 

Breakfast: Whole grain toast w/ hummus & grapes. I tried to have coffee with just a little bit of lowfat milk and creamer but I could only drink half a cup. I only like coffee when it doesn't really taste like coffee.

Lunch: Spinach with olive oil, orange slices, hummus, salami, whole grain crackers, frozen greek yogurt and water with lime.

Supper: Baked tilapia, pinto bean puree, field peas, green beans, tomatoes, cilantro, grapes, and splenda sweetened tea.

Are you turning Mediterranean? Tell me about your meals.

What the what?

I, along with my parents and sister, have decided to adopt the Mediterranean lifestyle. Healthy foods, activity, sunshine. We're adding more fruits and vegetables and exercise. We're subtracting some red meat and sweets and time in front of the television. 

I tend to stick to my guns a little better when I tell the internet about them. So this is my proverbial trek.  I'll be posting research as I learn more about the Mediterranean lifestyle, reviews of food products, recipes, etc. This is a learning process and you're invited. Let's do this.
