V&V Friends: Do you think we should ask YA for a "Mediterranean Diet" section? Mediterranean diet, meat reducer, piscavore or pescatarian… whichever word you like to give omnivores who only eat fish, do you think we should try to get them a section? I am sure to get lots of rude answers for this, but the pescavore/tarians probably have it tough. When they ask in the general food section about dishes where the only meat/ animal used is fish, they probably get lots of “eat steak” answers. Then they try to come to the vegetarian section to ask about eating sea animals, which then annoys (and sometimes offends) vegetarians because vegetarians don’t eat animals. Maybe if they got their own section, they could exchange lots of fish recipes and be happy to be around others like themselves. YA does add sections on occasion, so maybe if enough people asked, they could get their own little panel in YA. What are your thoughts? :)

So if my diet is already super healthy, isn't ridiculous to ask me to change???? I am at a healthy weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. I just don't like the pasta/bread/etc. carbs!!
How can a busy student best fit the mediterranean/asiatic diet in his life? Hello, I'm following the mediterranean and asiatic diets (see http://www.mediterrasian.com) to have a healthier lifestyle and to lose weight (read: A LOT of weight). I have, however, a few questions: * Drinking half-a-bottle of decent wine is too expensive for me. I'm thinking about consuming one or two bottles each week, only. Is it better to drink a little everyday, or more less days? * As many brazilians, I consume huge amounts of cold-infused yerba mate (5-10L every day). Is it good or bad for my health? Has it the same benefits of tea? * Eating out costs the same for me, but isn't it better to skip the lunch at University, and eat only at home, having super-healthy breakfast and supper? * Besides carrots, are there any healthy and easily-made snacks I could carry around? * Is yoga good for losing weight? * Do I actually need anything more than 30 minutes of walking and a healthy diet to lose weight? Thank you very much for your time!

Should I try the Mediterranean / Sonoma Diet or the Anti-Inflammatory / Zone Diet? Okay, so a little background: I'm 24, healthy, slim, love to be outdoors, etc. My boyfriend and I also love cooking and baking together at home, but a lot of times we go out because it's faster (both busy with work, etc.). We're trying to eat at home more often to save money and be healthier, and I wouldn't mind dropping a few pounds as well if it's more of a "lifestyle change." I'm thinking of trying one of those trendy eating plans out there, but I'm not sure which is better. The first one is the Mediterranean / Sonoma Diet, and the second one is an anti-inflammatory version of the Zone Diet. Keep in mind, this is more for health than for weight loss, I would really like to learn a new way to eat that's not meat-and-potatoes like we both learned growing up. Can anyone recommend which of these might be better? Here are two pages I read with a review of each, they also recommend the books I'm thinking of checking out: Mediterranean - http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/healthy/news/diet_mediterranean Anti-Inflammatory - http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/healthy/news/diet_antiinflammatory I want to be alive, healthy, and happily eating for a long, long time, so I'd appreciate hearing any responses, reviews, advice, etc! Thanks!
