This ...I have been thinking about this all morning. This summer, living on my own (i.e. own budget) I ate lots of plants, tofu, grains, and the occasionally chicken or fish. Pretty veggie-friendly, and it's felt great. BUT, my body has been hankering for red meat. I'm not sure if my recent sluggishness is from anemia or just the humidity, but my body is asking for something, and that something is not a vegetable.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148403709656546189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949029980939677004.post-8635100619421349582010-08-10T16:36:34.446-07:002010-08-10T16:36:34.446-07:00I really enjoyed this post.

For me, the right diet means planning my meals with vegetables in the center, and always trying new things. I need my food to be fun!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005424583469948456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949029980939677004.post-1263204143368236802010-08-10T13:18:35.147-07:002010-08-10T13:18:35.147-07:00My diet doesn't have a name.

I love giving people fodder to help them figure out their own bodies!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07407895896789400014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949029980939677004.post-16262137708858536302010-08-09T08:07:33.692-07:002010-08-09T08:07:33.692-07:00great post!!great post!!EmilyLiveLaughLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07100368859355686014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949029980939677004.post-86432776511335609292010-08-09T06:36:26.235-07:002010-08-09T06:36:26.235-07:00I love this post, Elizabeth! Everyone's ideal ...I love this post, Elizabeth! Everyone's ideal diet truly does vary! I've never struggled much with restriction, but I've certainly tried a number of "diets": vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, low-carb, etc. I think I was trying these diets as a means of exploring and trying to find what was right for me. But I always felt like something was missing. Eventually, I just gave up and started eating whatever I wanted, because it just made me feel better. Then I realized that what I wanted was very similar to the Mediterranean Diet (which isn't much of a surprise since I'm Italian!) The "Mediterranean Diet" allows me to basically eat everything but to base my diet on grains, fruits & vegetables, lean protein, etc. It was really refreshing to just let myself eat whatever I felt like eating only to realize that the food I loved and wanted was the food that made me feel best! I suggest that everyone allows themselves a week to just follow their intuition when deciding on the next meal!
