I guess that is why you call yourself "Mamma"!

The only overweight folks in my clan follow a very American way of eating. Those who have kept to the 'old world' plan aren't overweight. Of course, exercise helps tremendously. I walk 2 miles every other day and stretch extensively on the off days. My daughter is in basketball and track (mid distance) so that keeps me hopping too. :o)

I should add to my original post that besides pasta, olive oil, and pine nuts...are fish, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, mega amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruit, red wine, and yogurt (the real kind...not the fru fru stuff).
