July was supposed to be Nutrisystem, but I don’t want to lay out the $355.00 for one month of food right now so we will go with The Zone instead.
So far I have read the book and enjoyed it. If the book is to be […]

Well, the AMD is behind me. It was a fun diet to be on and pretty easy and now I understand better what a “Mediterranean Diet” consists of. Monounsaturated fats, lots of fiber, lots of fruits and veggies, lean meats. Pretty darn yummy stuff. I felt really good for the whole month. No […]

Well, not the vacation weight loss I had hoped for, but I still have one more day. I actually managed to stick to my diet on vacation. I was shocked. I had my one diet “vacation” meal late Friday. I kept up my running and logged 17 miles while on vacation. I did miss […]

Going pretty well thus far. I am enjoying this diet quite a bit (as evidenced by my glowing praise on dietsinreview.com
Today is a weight training day, but I also want to play some golf. Hopefully I will still have the motivation to workout after sweating it out on the golf course (I walk […]

 Hey! surprise! I did an interview with dietsinreview.com yesterday and it is posted today! It was really cool and very exciting to talk about dozendiets.com.

Same as yesterday, but I am not too worried. Still trending downward at a good rate and I did weights yesterday. Sometimes I plateau after a weight training day. I would like to think I am building muscle mass to burn additional fat.
Wow. I did some calculations this morning and I have lost […]

 Nope - this picture is not of me. This handsome rascale is Dr. Parker - the author of the book I am using to get the Advanced Mediterranean Diet.
Dr. Parker had a cool interview conducted and posted today on dietsinreview.com
This month on Dozendiets.com, I am following the mediterranean diet, using Dr. Parker’s version entitled “The […]
