P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Common Mediterranean Diet Foods For A Long, Healthy Life

By Lee Dobbins

There is a reason that people all over the world are starting to lean toward very simple Mediterranean diet foods for their own daily consumption. The Mediterranean people are well known for looking younger and more vibrant than same-aged people in other parts of the world. The region also boasts some of the lowest statistics for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. For these reasons people all over the world are now wondering what they eat that delivers such amazing health.

If you are wondering this yourself, you may be shocked to hear that the bulk of what they eat in that area of the world are rather basic plant sources.

Just a few of the common foods that they eat are potatoes, corn, whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Of course, they prefer to get these foods from local growers so they can limit the preservatives, pesticides, and other chemicals that are sprayed on the food.

Various types of herbs and olive oil are also essential. They not only flavor the food, but serve as a healthy source of essential fat in the daily diet.

If you wonder where fish and meat falls into this diet, it is used very sparingly. Fish is often consumed maybe a couple times a week and is preferred to any type of poultry or animal meat. In fact, red meat is only consumed maybe once a month or so in this culture.

If you model your own diet around these common Mediterranean diet foods, chances are very high that you will see an improvement in your overall health as well as the way you feel. Whether your goal is to lose weight or just reduce cholesterol, you will see great success with a plan centered on these foods.
