My husband and I have done them all — Atkins, South Beach, etc. but this one by far is the best diet. What’s not to like – you’re eating very very healthy!!!! The recipes in this book are great! There was not one recipe that we did not like. My husband, who hates to each fish, now eats it at least 3 to 4 times a week. He’s lost 10 pounds and feels great. There is a two week beginner diet plan and then the maintenance plan which a lot of the other books did not have. I recommend this diet and most specifically this book to EVERYONE who wants a good healthy diet.

I bought this book because I wanted to try out a healthier eating style – I wasn’t too much for salads and vegetables or fish before…. but the text of the book is well written and very convincing, the recipes are very good and easy enough to make – and to experiment with altering them – and best of all, I feel satisfied when I eat, I’ve lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks (1/4 of my goal) and no more digestive upsets. My sister just had her gallbladder out for the same symptoms I had just started having and they went away completely. I can’t recommend it enough! I bought two other books but this was my favorite for the text part and recipes.

I’ve been on just about every diet known to womankind and have struggled with my weight since childhood. I got interested in Mediterranean cuisine after being stationed in Sicily for 2 years and Spain for 3 while in the US Navy.
What I love about this book is the program is so easy. There are menu suggestions, but you really don’t need to follow these to the letter. Grocery shopping is so much easier because you can follow the plan with what is available.
Only thing is there are still questions – like what if you finish the two week initial stage and are not at goal yet, do you keep on doing the same thing or begin transitioning?
All in all, I’m happy with the program. Only wish I could contact the author with further questions.

Started following the diet as outlined in this book three weeks ago. I’ve lost 13 lbs. and my wife has lost 15! The recipies are fantastic. And this is coming from someone who LOVES food. You’re not actually dieting, just eating better. It’s healthy and was actually recommended to me by a cardiologist.

I bought this after my husband’s second heartattack. At first, I thought the recipes required too much work and they didn’t seem real tasty to me. I’ve never been big on fish. I didn’t think my husband would like the food either. However, months later when I had gained more weight than I was comfortable with, I determined to give these recipes a try. I also took to heart the one suggestion of a couple who cooked some meals on the weekend so they’d have good meals ready for their on-the-go lifestyle during the week.
The recipes are so good and my husband likes them too. For the first time, he’s eating Salmone and likes it. The only real work in preparing them is the chopping & dicing of the vegetables used in most meals. Once that is done, every meal is an absolute breeze. I haven’t been able to work in an exercise program, yet. But I’m losing an average of 2 pounds a week and I’ve nearly gorged myself on the lunch & dinner meals for the first two weeks. I have found that on most recipes, there is enough leftovers for my lunch the next day. I really, really like this book.
