You will want to get involved in the newest diet yet even if you don't need to lose weight.  This diet is not concerned about how many calories you eat, it's more concerned about how far your food travels.  It is a simple diet to follow, and the cravings are at a minimum because if you're hungry, you eat!

The 100 Mile Diet promises to connect you with your local farmers and learn the intricacies of food production of the area that you live in.  This is a diet that is less concerned with the amount of carbs or calories you ingest, rather the food that is in season in your area and the effect of food and the environment.

Obviously, because of the title you only eat foods within 100 miles of where you live.  This itself brings a lot of questions and gives a lot of leeway.  One of the reasons it is so lax is because the original creators of the 100 Mile Diet didn't put too many rules on on the diet.  100 miles is the only rule.  Does this mean that you only get foods that are produced within 100 miles of your residence?  Should you include every single ingredient in this rule?  If this is a meat product should you be concerned about where the food that the original animal aid was produced?

You get to make up your own rules with the 100 Mile Diet.  You can decide how easy or difficult to make it for you, but no matter what you do if you start thinking in terms of if your food was produced within 100 miles would you be helping the environment?  In most cases the answer would be yes.  So how do you find local food so you can help the environment?  Jump on the Internet and search for farms with your city name also in the search box.  Another great way of finding local produce is to search for Co OPs.  You can get some great savings on produce by paying for a share in the Co OP and then receive bags of in-season produce each week at no additional cost.  You will be amazed at the portions of produce that you get that are in season.  Another great way to follow the 100 Mile Diet is to shop at your local farmer's market where you can get food at very low prices.

Growing your own produce also fits very well under the 100 Mile Diet.  There is something extremely satisfying about growing your own food, and until you have done it, you won't understand the difference in taste from store bought produce.  Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to grow and they can be grown in a container.  They can even be grown upside down in a container.  Any homegrown tomato is going to taste a hundred times better than any store bought tomato.  And this is because the variety of tomato that is chosen to be able to travel long distances in order to get to grocery stores is a very tough tomato but a very unflavored tomato.  Start your 100 Mile Diet by growing your own tomatoes in a container and you will never want another store bought tomato again.

The 100 Mile Diet is a very flexible diet and means you don't have to run around hungry and cranky all day.  What steps could you take to make sure the food that you consume fits into your version of the 100 Mile Diet?
