Publisher's Synopsis
The Mediterranean diet has been lauded as one of the best and most effective diets in the world, both for sheer deliciousness and for consistent weight loss. There's a lot more to Mediterranean cuisine, however. Since so much of it consists of an abundance of fresh produce, fish, olive oil, lentils, beans, and nuts, it has many health benefits, as well. Studies have confirmed that "eating Mediterranean" can help with heart-related diseases, diabetes, and brain health. Eating better just makes you feel better.
The Mediterranean diet severely limits processed foods and red meats. Luckily, you won't miss them at all. It does encourage a nice glass of red wine with your meals. Mealtime is turned into sheer pleasure. Many people confuse "Mediterranean" with bowls of pasta. Nothing could be further from the truth, although you will find a recipe for some luscious pasta salad in this Mediterranean Diet Rules Cookbook. Pasta is usually treated as a side dish. Begin eating Mediterranean by eating more fruits and vegetables. It's really that simple. Add veggies to your soups, stews, and salads. Respect the gifts from the sea. The Mediterranean abounds with healthy seafood that your heart, brain, and weight loss regime will love. Get your family started on healthy eating habits while they think they are just eating delicious food with the recipes in the Mediterranean Diet Rules Cookbook.
