Follow a specific diet? that would depend on the time scale. jh Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 05:13:44 PM
I could do most of these if you confined the time to sometihng like 30 minutes.

1. Atkins Diet (minimal carbs, no starch, high meat protein)


Not in any longer time scales now.

2. Vegetarian (mostly fruits/vegetables, sometimes dairy and eggs)


I could totally do this if I was allowed a bit of meat on the side. :P

3. Vegan (absolutely no animal products)


Eww.

4. Mediterranean Diet (high plant consumption, fruit desserts, olive oil for fat,cheese and yogurt,white meat, eggs, low red meat, wine)


Maintainable for a longer period of time, but... I don't like to stick to a certain type of diet.

5. Paleolithic Diet (no potatoes, grains, dairy or beans, encouraged lean meat consumption, most plants, mostly water/tea as beverage)


could work, I suppose. It's a bit tricky, tbh.

6. Raw Food Diet (mostly like Paleolithic diet, but NO COOKING ALLOWED)


No cooking allowed is just stupid. I can understand it for veggies, to a certain extent, too many of them are cooked as it is, but I will not eat too much meat which hasn't been warmed, at least. A nice carpaccio from time to time is manageable, but all the time?
