Introduction

The Mayo Clinic termed the Mediterranean diet a “heart-healthy diet”…..and rightly so! Eating the Mediterranean way will help you prevent heart disease and a slew of other life-threatening diseases. Plus, it lowers cholesterol levels and blood pressure and optimizes your overall health.

There are so many things that I love about the Mediterranean diet. It includes whole natural foods, is easy to adapt to your lifestyle and in short….is the healthiest diet in the world. When you eat the Mediterranean way you nourish your body in a balanced way that allows it to function at its best.

The Mediterranean diet is also the most scientifically documented diet in the world so there is no question about its effectiveness. It will work for you if you work it.

In this book, I have explained the Mediterranean diet and the Mediterranean diet pyramid in detail. I’ve included the kinds of foods you should eat, serving sizes, some weight loss tips, a brief history of the Mediterranean diet and how to switch to a Mediterranean diet. I’ve also included a 7-day meal plan and some 30 minute recipes from my Mediterranean Diet Cookbook to get you started!     

I know from experience that the Mediterranean diet will help you lose weight, improve your health and make you more energetic than ever! You too can experience the same amazing benefits that I did as a result of this diet so….let’s get started….
