The Mediterranean diet is based on a variety of cuisine options rich in aromas, nutrients, and colors. It has been voted by many scientists as one of the healthiest diets in the world. The Mediterranean lifestyle comes from the eating habits of people who live in Italy and Greece. It is not a restrictive diet. One of the best things about the Mediterranean diet is that it is so varied. In this book you'll learn what the Mediterranean diet is and how to follow it to lose weight, improve your health, and experience the countless benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle. People often fail to eat healthier because they can't stick to their new healthy habits. That's why this guide includes a 30-day meal plan with healthy and easy-to-make Mediterranean recipes.
