I thought we had a dieting thread? Maybe we do.
Anyway, I'm posting to say I'm jumping on the Whole 30 bandwagon this January, starting today. I had to get a gigantic New Year's Day brunch in, and my wife and I had pasta and a nice bottle of wine last night to celebrate my last night as a carb loaded man for a while.
I'm well aware of the criticisms of this diet. "You won't get all yr nutrients cutting out nuts and grains", "you will relapse hard afterwards", "you won't lose weight". Blah Blah. I want to stress that I eat far too much bread and cheese. I've been eating too much sweet treats lately too. I could also afford to cut booze for a month. I think restricting myself to meats, veggies and fruit for a month would do me a bit of good.
Anyway, I'm excited about this challenge and I'm wondering how many RMers have had mental or physical success in the past? Main thing I hope to get out of this is to not feel so bloated and tired all the god damn time.

on another note, i wanted to start eating more of a mediterranean diet that is more fish, bean/legume, olive oil, vegetable based and where meat is only introduced sparingly (and if so, only as a side). this diet is extremely time-consuming to prepare meals and expensive. i don't think i have the patience.

We do a lot of this, and our "local" (one hour away) co-op has been a godsend, because they have a killer olive bar. We load up on olives, olive-oil cured tomatoes, cheese, grape leaves, then just supplement with hummus, baba ghanoush, fish/meat, etc.
