I used to be a total health freak. Measured my food, ate organic vegetables, watched every ounce of sugar and white flour that entered my body. I used to walk three miles a day and quit smoking for eight years. AND...I had crippling CH's. Now I'm smoking again. living with an incredible chef who grew up in Brooklyn in a huge italian family. I'm eating pasta and garlic and meatballs and cheese and drinking red wine and consuming more sugar than I thought possible. My blood pressure, weight and cholesteral are all DOWN. Am I just in love or is there something to this Medditeranean Diet Thing?? Cause, for the record, my CH's are WAY down.
