Adjusting What I Eat

I have not made any fancy recipes for the past few days.  However, that doesn't mean I won't head in that direction soon.  I really like Greek salads so I have been eating those for lunch quite a bit.  I also love Greek style yogurt, so that has been my snack of choice.  Just by semi-following the Greek diet for less than a week now, I have lost a little weight and feel good.

Here are some of the basic things that I am trying to do:

• Consume more olive oil 
• Consume more legumes and fresh fruits and vegetables
• Replace white bread, highly processed cereals, and white rice with whole grains
• Increase consumption of fish
• Reduce consumption of meat and meat products
• Consume dairy products in a moderate amount, especially focusing on Mediterranean cheeses and Greek style yogurt
• Have a glass or red wine now and then with dinner.

I am not much of a wine drinker, but when I looked at wine in the store a week or two ago, I found a red wine labeled "Cupcake."  Yes, I had Cupcake wine with my dinner once or twice this week.  Most reading this will be glad to know I am not writing about "The Art of Drinking Wine!"
