2010-03-11 How finding a challenge can keep you focused on your weight loss - NewsChannel Nashville, Tennessee -

Its interesting to me how once you work on phasing something particular out of your diet (for me, by focusing deliberately on something else bigger) it really does become relatively easy to keep it out. For example, I thought Id be totally miserable skipping my post-every-meal sweet-of-some-sort, but Id committed to following a specific plan and that plan didnt include sweets.

This is big news. Countries like Greece and Spain generate millions of dollars each year harvesting bluefins in the Mediterranean Sea, where stocks have declined precipitously in recent years. Japan is dependent on imports from the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean -- where tuna populations have plummeted over 80 percent since 1970 -- to support its sushi and sashimi-rich diet.

2010-02-25 Lateline : Greek PM discusses economic turmoil

GEORGE PAPANDREOU: As you know, you have lots of Greek restaurants, and of course a huge Greek community in Australia, and we have a Mediterranean and Greek diet which is considered one of the healthiest types of diets around the world.
