Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Most people know that a Mediterranean-style diet is "good for them," but many lack the information that determines the diet's success. The Mediterranean Heart Diet does what most doctors who recommend the diet don't: spells out which foods are "out" and which are "in," and why.Doctors recommend a Mediterranean eating style to thousands who are diagnosed each year with heart disease because it is "heart-healthy"-it promotes lower saturated-fat consumption, and helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. It is an all-purpose style of eating that also benefits those at risk of developing certain cancers and those with a diabetic condition, because it is high in antioxidant-rich foods and whole grains. The Mediterranean Heart Diet not only provides a full range of satisfying recipes but also covers the science behind the diet's health benefits. Readers learn to create their own healthful eating plans and establish new habits.More than 140 delicious recipes are included, from satisfying Lentil and Broccoli Soup to tangy Halibut in Citrus Sauce. All recipes feature nutritional analysis by serving, including food exchanges.

Faulty Information
This is an absolutley "terrible" book. It first tells you what the Mediterranean Diet was many years and and how it is so helpful - THEN it tells you how to make bread with WHITE ALL-PURPOSE BREAD FLOUR. WHAT A STUPID BOOK. Then it goes on to tell you how to update the diet with new technology learned over the last century. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE AUTHOR SHOULD BE DOING = THEY SHOULD BE TELLING YOU WHAT THE DIET "WAS" NOT WHAT THE AUTHOR THINKS IT SHOULD BE. And as an added "insult" they tell you to stop smoking. Do you think the Mediterranean"s "Smoked". Of course, and they were living longer than anybody on earth. What arrogance.

Great Heart Diet
This is a diet that the average person can live with and lose weight with for the rest of their lives. It isn't fast but steady, you're not hungry and you can have veggies and fruits, and pastas, chicken & fish. And occassionaly dessert and red meat. I only wish there were more sample menues or more about portions. I am losing weight at about 2 or 3 lbs. weeks and I love it!

I love this book!!
I bought 3 different cook books at the same time. This is my favorite. The walnut topped portabello mushrooms are to die for. Everything in this book that I've tried so far has been excellent.

no title
Not for people raised in the deep south and who have limited access to the ingredients in the receipes. Instead of buying this book just do what the doctors are always telling you. Cut down or out on red meat and eat more vegetables. Substitute fish or fowl in place of the red meat. Also do as the Apostle Paul said in the Bible, "take a little wine for thy stomach's sake". Then get out and walk more.

Healthy eating
I love the food. I never realized there were so many different Herb and spices and what they were for. I always used Garlic salt instead of real Garlic. I replaced our regular salt with sea salt.Our cooking oil is now extra virgin olive oil. I am not only enjoying great food but healthier meals and I feel great.
