Diets and Politics are two subjects that will never be settled. All i can do is throw my two-cents worth in.
Two years ago I was 78 lbs. heavier than I am now. I started out with a salmond and salad diet, which is like the Mediterranean diet. The most important thing is get up and exercise, exercise, exercise. It doesn't matter what kind just keep moving. At the same time you can't go out in the Villages and eat every night, walk around Sumter Landing eating ice cream cones, or setting at Cody's for happy hour and eating specials everyday. That's what I was told was the cause of The Villages' 30. (weight gain the first year.) I wasn't told what the second year averag was.
I think some of that is probably more important than a spoon full of olive oil. Even though I don't use any oil. Only Pam Spray & that sparingly.
When a person looses several pounds and their joints quit hurting and they can bend over to tie their shoes, that is a life changing event & a big moral booster. Try it. I guarantee You'll like it.
