Mediterranean Diet

I need to lose a few pounds. Just a few. I keep my six-pack abs safely protected. But, I stink at going to the gym (I have a membership), and I don't want to spend a ton on a diet program (which I deem unnecessary for my goal). Enter the good people of Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Italy, Greece, and all those other folks. Sounds simple enough. I like veggies, yogurt, fish, olive oil, etc. That's not really the problem. The problem involves the way two different brains are wired. I'm a guy...meaning I'm very compartmentalized. My wife is, well, a woman...so she tends to connect everything. My way of thinking is, "Great! Buy the healthy stuff, lay it out, and use your imagination to create a dish!" Her way of thinking is, "Research the appropriate foods. Search for recipes that include them. Determine where to purchase them. Create a menu, then buy the ingredients." It's not that either way is inherently right or wrong....just different from one another. We bot want the same results...but, like washing dishes, there's several ways to go about achieving the same results. God help us! BTW: I did just enjoy that pint of Guinness....but, Guinness is, after all, good for your health! https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/health/sns-holiday-stpats-guinness-good-for-you-photogallery.html
