*** LOSING WEIGHT with ETHNIC foods/cuisines?
Q. I'm trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet. Which ethnic cuisine(s) do you recommend? I think Mediterranean (Italian, Greek, Spaniard, French, etc.) is generally good but I haven't tried them enough to judge. I also think some Middle Eastern cuisines (Arabic, Persian, Turkish, etc.) are healthy to some degree because they're not too salty, sweet or spicy. Could you recommend which ethnic cuisine(s)? Which dishes? It doesn't have to be the above mentioned (Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, etc.) your recommendation can be anything as long as you give me a reasonable reason why I should try those... Please give me which cuisine(s) (what country/region) you think is healthier in general (especially when trying to lose weight)… [cont.]

A. Hey! Mediterranean diet. Typically, a diet rich in pasta, bread, fruit, and vegetables, with moderate amounts of poultry and fish, cooked in olive oil and washed down with red wine. The Mediterranean diet is reputed to be among the healthiest in the world. Epidemiological studies show that Mediterraneans suffer less heart disease than people from northern Europe. Nutritionists believe that the typical Mediterranean diet reduces fat and increases the level of natural antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, significantly reducing the risk of heart attack. Some people question the wisdom of a having a diet in which up to 40 per cent of the calories come from fat, and which encourages the use of alcohol. However, the fats in a Mediterranean… [cont.]

Places to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Chicago?
Q. I'm going to be in Chicago for spring break, and I was just wondering if there are any good places to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Chicago. For breakfast, I normally like little cafes or places where they serve a tradition tasty breakfast. Nothing too pricey please. For lunch and dinner, I pretty much like anything except for indian and middle eastern cuisine. Somethings that I like are steak, sushi, mexican. I'd also like to try some Chicago hot dogs and deep dish pizza while I'm here, so if you know any good places, please recommend. I was looking at another question someone had asked about places for sushi in Chicago, but the places the people recommended didn't look so traditional and a little pricey. So, if you know any… [cont.]

A. For breakfast check out my favorite place in the city... ***Nookies - 1746 N Wells in Old Town - - Everything there is fresh, traditional, and delicious. The do little different things with breakfast like dip the french toast in corn flakes, then fry it. ***Then there's Lou Mitchell's - 565 W Jackson - - which is Chicago's most famous diner. If you're just downtown and looking for something cheap and quick for breakfast go find Beef & Brandy, Ada's, Mary's, or the Ohio House Coffee House. ___ For Chicago Hotdogs, if you're downtown the best is ***Gold Coast - - the best one is at 159 N Wabash. I don't know whether or not the Popeye's that it shares it's space with adds to it's charm or not. If you have access to a car the… [cont.]
