How can a busy student best fit the mediterranean/asiatic diet in his life?

Hello,



I'm following the mediterranean and asiatic diets (see http://www.mediterrasian.com) to have a healthier lifestyle and to lose weight (read: A LOT of weight).



I have, however, a few questions:



* Drinking half-a-bottle of decent wine is too expensive for me. I'm thinking about consuming one or two bottles each week, only. Is it better to drink a little everyday, or more less days?



* As many brazilians, I consume huge amounts of cold-infused yerba mate (5-10L every day). Is it good or bad for my health? Has it the same benefits of tea?



* Eating out costs the same for me, but isn't it better to skip the lunch at University, and eat only at home, having super-healthy breakfast and supper?



* Besides carrots, are there any healthy and easily-made snacks I could carry around?



* Is yoga good for losing weight?



* Do I actually need anything more than 30 minutes of walking and a healthy diet to lose weight?



Thank you very much for your time!How can a busy student best fit the mediterranean/asiatic diet in his life?
Okay,here goes.First of all,about the wine.I dont know your budget but you can find a respectable wine at a reasonable price.As for a little everyday or more once in a while,A little daily seems easier on the metabolism(?)

I'm sorry,I don't know what that is but green tea is a good option

Don't skip anything. Again metabolism bigain to drop every couple of hours.

Why only carrots?What about apples,spinich,or even a natural health smoothy.

Yoga has many styles wich is great because you can modify your workout to meet your needs.That said keep in mind that yoga helps strenthen and tone.This is good when you are also using a cardio exercise like walking.It also helps alignment and balence.

I understand that good health is 90%diet and 10% exercise.Walking 30 minutes 3 days a week is excellent!

Drink water and stick to a basic rutine,weigh yourself once a week.(I know)As long as you have lost,even 1/2 lb you are on the right track.3 to 6 lbs.per month is perfect.You will find that it fluctuates but averages out.
