Are you tired of the many weight loss diets that don't work long term? Are you looking for food that is delicious and healthy, at the same time? This book tries to answer those questions.

The Mediterranean Diet concentrates on fresh fruits and vegetables, along with fresh herbs and spices. Less healthy items, like red meat and junk food, are severely limited, or totally eliminated. It is based on food from countries around the Mediterranean, like Spain, Italy and Greece. This book contains over 1000 recipes full of ingredients that can be found at your local grocery store. It also includes the nutrition information for each recipe. There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, soups, pasta and grains, snacks, poultry and dessert. The book also features a 16-week meal plan, the top six benefits of the Mediterranean Diet and ten tips to get in shape.
