I once followed the old Weight Watcher's Core Plan and even Hubby liked that. That was sort of an even lower fat form of the Mediterranean diet. These do require cooking. I love to cook, but even I sometimes settle for convenience when my mood is in a certain place. I can say that when I do eat the Mediterranean way, my mood is usually good, but like many ways of eating, the getting back to it after stopping is the hardest part.

Agreed! I also followed the Weight Watchers plan you mentioned when I was trying to drop baby weight. It was successful for me. Yes, I also agree getting back on board after months or years of eating refined sugars and processed foods is a bit of a shock each time. It always feels great though after you get going.
I plan to talk to my husband about this. I think he would benefit from it as well and I'd like his help planning meals. I might implement it in phases as there are some Christmas treats I'm not willing to give up this year
