exaclty what I was thinking...

Yeah I think that's pretty much the jist(sp?) of it. Lots of fish and seafood, veggies, fruit, low on red meat and dairy. It sounds interesting. I'm doing weight watchers so if I try it I'll probably still count points. I may look on amazon for a book about it.

My sister did this via ediets. She liked it - said she was always full from the food. I don't think she's doing it anymore, but she still eats many of the foods often.

Also, I've heard the Sonoma diet is a modified version of the Med. diet with basically the same foods.

3 Fat Chicks (dieting website) has a forum on the med. diet: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=163

Here are some resources they suggest:

Did you sister lose much weight doing it? Thanks for the resources, you're the best!

Yes, definitely. She was injured and couldn't exercise and still lost weight.
