I guess real Meditterrean peoples did not eat that much pasta, nor red 
meat.
..some, and whole grains. I remember my Sicilian Grandma who was a thin
Vegetarian...she ate a tiny bit of cheese and fish, but mostly beans, fruit
and veges, which she walked to the market near her home in Gloucester for,
daily. In Switzerland, it was the same but we ate very little meat, a lot 
of
cheese, hardly never had fish, except for perch from Lake Geneva in the
summer...we used to go fishing a lot. Lots of fruit and veges.But mainly 
it
was a no S type of Eating. The Italians in this Land of Plenty- go overboard
with the pastas, bread and red meats, and too much of anything-even my
favorites bread a nd cheese is fattening...no Seconds. Yes one can gain
without sugar, my problem is no Snacks....arrrrrg.
