Glad to hear it's working out and your health is getting better, Cleo.

I haven't tried the Mediterranean diet, but I have tried Keto last year. It was a challenge a few friends and myself did and, honestly, I enjoyed it. it's rough at first until I realized that I could replace anything "bad" with a healthier version and still stay under the carb limit. After a few weeks, I didn't need that crutch. Eventually, it felt like I had rebooted my entire body. I would finally get a full 8 hours of sleep for once and then wake up ready to go instead of feeling groggy.

Yeah, it's time to go back to that. >_<

Thank you! Its nice to feel human. I tried keto before years ago and had similar benefits of feeling really good. But it was so hard to lower my carbs like that and just not sustainable. I also read it wasnt a good diet for a woman. At least with the Mediterranean diet, Im not counting carbs. I can have whole grains, brown rice and whatever fruit I want. But I make sure to have a good portion of vegetables with every meal. I hardly feel hungry anymore. Before, Id be snacking all day and constantly wanting food.
