As long as there are some tasty accompaniments to go with that Greek salad, I'd be okay with a Mediterranean diet.

Well I took notice of the article and started today after leaving work this evening. First stop was a Kebab, Greek style, followed by some Budino al Cioccolato

Best thing to do is do some exercise you enjoy and/or have to use as a means of transport like walking or cycling.

I'm on the primal diet. There is considerable overlap between it and the Med diet.
Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThere are studies backing your theory on climate up.
Both people in the Med and Japan while they eat healthier than Brits have some horrible habits e.g. smoking but remain fitter for longer.
Brits also aren't active enough.
When I work in cities in the UK then work outside I'm always shocked by how fat people are generally outside a city.

Originally posted by original PM View PostI think this in general.
I always feel better when in and around the med because you can just go for a walk whenever, you often sit outside, it is easier to eat fruit/veg as a raw snack/appetiser etc when it is warm (not so appitising in the uk when the wind n rain are trying to break the window)
etc etc

Originally posted by expat View PostLeaving out the sarcasm, I do agree, and never suggested otherwise. Both have their place. And indeed the evidence is complex and conflicting. What upsets me is people who suggest that it isn't (sorry if I took you for one such).

Let's cut the extremes and see thing from a "middelpunt". Day one in Cloggers (not UK, not Med). High street. Gone to the equivalent of Greggs. Soon noticed that the middle aged (40s-50s) female attendants were considerably more attractive and fitter than the British counterparts (if you don't take Central London into consideration, because that would be 99% extra fit EE women as shop attendants).
So it's not just media hype.
But I don't think it's all about the food. It's the British way of life that wears you down, everybody seems so relaxed, yet productive here. They even look you in the eye when serving you.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostI was always puzzled why in the Middle East they are eating lamb and rice saturated with fat but they were living to a ripe old age.
There could also be the sun factor because warm weather thins the blood.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe truth is that it is controversial and complex, with conflicting evidence. That is not IMO a very good reason for chucking out the olive oil and replacing in with lard, but I am not one to stand in the way of Darwinism.
