Good to know.
I’ve tried both and keto is just easier.
For me, the Med Diet is just a pain, too much prep.
Too many ingredients.
But whatever works well is the best plan for you.
Cooking is my time to unwind so I don’t mind the prep work for Med food. After a long day at the shop I put in a long evening of cooking. Very fun for me. And Med food doesn’t have to be too complicated. Some orzo, basil, garlic, an onion, and a can of tomatoes works wonders. I gotta figure out saganaki though. When I was vacationing on Crete this restaurant made me the most amazing octopus cheese saganaki stew similar to ciopino. I probably put on 15 lbs on that trip.
I weigh 112 and don;t have a plan. Too much prep would make me seriously crazy. I’ve always hated to cook. Never hungry, only need a late breakfast and . even later dinner. 7:45 here just thinking about dinner. Alaskan Salmon, organic veggies, organic potatoes steamed. Yogurt for dessert, several flavors in the fridge.
Easy and I like all that stuff.
I’ve greatly simplified my diet the past 6 months. Basic whole foods. No fast food. Cut up a lot of veggies to make salads. Simple BBQ’d beef; baked keto chicken casseroles; McCann’s Irish oats prepared overnight; lots of berries on the oatmeal; lots of fresh fruit apples, pears, plums and bananas; protein powder/ Eggs. Some keto non-grain granolas.
I found the simplicity and repeatability really help.
I found a woman on YouTube a couple days ago goes by “Love Sweat Fitness” and she made a video “The ONLY 10 groceries you need to lose weight (this is all I buy)” a couple months ago. It’s very similar to what I’ve been buying and she stresses simplicity and repeatability, too.
