The Miami Mediterranean Diet: Lose Weight and Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease with 300 Delicious Recipes (Hardcover) Review

Think of this: Greek men have 90% less heart attacks than American men. Yes, I said 90% less. Statistics like this have led scientists to spend more than 20 years studying the Mediterranean diet, Dr. Ozner, a cardiologist based in Miami, summarizes the enormous benefits of this lifestyle in his book. He offers many patient tested (& patient suggested) recipes, all delicious. The basic foods in this diet are pasta, fresh vegetables, beans, whole grains, cold-water fish, nuts, olives, tomatoes, olive oil and red wine. Simple, but rarely followed in America. The Mediterranean diet is rich in benefits, inexpensive and there's an added benefit: weight loss. The book is a winner, easy to read and highly recommended.

The Pocket Diet & Recipe Book: Perfect Portion Control That Works! [Paperback] Review

I wouldn't suggest this book as a "diet" per se. It has calorie recommendations, portion control, and lots of useful information, but it does rely heavily on one's fondness for pita bread. And anyone can get bored with eating the same thing day after day, and this is basically a sandwich-based diet using one type of bread.

As a cookbook though, especially for someone who's single and/or on the go a lot or who just doesn't cook much, this book really shines. There's things I never thought of putting in a pita pocket (and why I just don't know), and there's a surprising amount of creativity using a handful of common ingredients. I keep it with my cookbooks rather than diet/nutrition, and so far, it's been fun to use.

Product Description:
Easy and convenient, the Pocket Diet & Recipe Book teaches portion control by using pita pockets (each holding 2-3 ounces of food) to monitor portion sizes. Along with great tasting pita pockets the plan consists of fruit, low fat yogurt, raw veggies, nuts, and other healthy choices at various intervals throughout the day. Rather than eating three big meals, the plan is designed so that you will have several small ones and will rarely, if ever, go hungry. So shed those extra pounds - and keep them off --with the Pocket Diet.

The French Don't Diet Plan: 10 Simple Steps to Stay Thin for Life (Paperback) Review

I've read The Fat Fallacy, taken Dr. Clowers' PATH training, and met the man in person. This book is like sitting down and having a conversation with him. It's clarity, it's promise, it's decadence in moderation.

I owe my life to Dr. Clower. In 2004 I had hit my highest weight ever, been diagnosed with chronic hypertension and Type 2 diabetes, and I could barely move or walk without pain and being out of breath. I was on the verge of submitting to weight loss surgery! I wholeheartedly adopted the principles in the book "The Fat Fallacy" and I've dropped nearly 70 pounds, reduced my hypertension, nearly reversed my diabetes AND had a happy, healthy bouncing baby boy! And, no weight loss surgery, either.

And this was accomplished even without all the wonderful information I've learned in the last couple of months with the PATH training and what is in "The French Don't Diet". I realize now that I have more room for improvement and I'm eager for the changes and continued good health and weight loss. Never has eating and being active been so fun and delicious.

I've never lived a 'low-fat' life, but I did overeat for decades and I ate many bad-for-me foods. Now, I don't eat it if I don't know what's in it, I don't buy it without looking at the ingredients, and I've begun to step out of my comfort zone and actually prepared foods for myself like bread, gravies, salad dressings. Things I felt inept at creating, so I bought pre-packaged and pre-prepared versions chock full of chemicals and faux foods and health-sapping components. I've tried several recipes in Dr. Clower's books and they are amazing! And easy! So easy it's crazy. I spent years avoiding creating in the kitchen out of fear. Fear and laziness. Something the food industry capitalizes on. But, not anymore!

I appreciate the knowledge Dr. Clower and his books have imparted to me and my family and friends. We now know what's healthy and what's not. We enjoy our food and our lives so much more now, and we're losing weight and getting healthy in the process!

The best thing you can do for your self and your family is read this book and adopt the principles contained within. This isn't a 'diet' it's a lifestyle. A French lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle. Mind, body, spirit.

Once you do this there is no going back to the Standard American Diet. The SAD will kill you.

The MediterrAsian Way: A Cookbook and Guide to Health, Weight Loss, and Longevity, Combining the Best Features of Mediterranean and Asian Diets and Lifestyles (Hardcover) Review

As a fan of the Mediterrasian website and its recipes, I was eager to check out the accompanying book upon its release. While it's referred to on the website as an "extension of the website," it's definitely a book that can stand alone.

The book is wonderful for the recipes alone, but I also found the first half of the book, which provided some background information, reasoning and research behind the Mediterrasian lifestyle, to be interesting reading. It's presented in a non-stuffy, laid back and friendly way, and perfect for people who aren't necessarily looking for a "diet" or structured plan, but some simple ways to live well through food choices and lifestyle.

The Asian and Mediterranean inspired recipes are easy to follow in addition to being delicious. Also, it's a great cookbook for someone who doesn't eat a lot of red meat...it's chock full of seafood and poultry recipes.

Since purchasing this book, I've ordered additional copies for friends and family and will probably order more. Thanks, Ric and Trudy!

The Saint-Tropez Diet: The Delicious and Healthy Weight Loss Plan Presenting the Best Scientific Principles of the French and Mediterranean Omega-3 Diets [Hardcover] Review

I hate diets. I always did. Its the notion that you have to restrict yourself for 30,60, or 90 days to achieve SPECTACULAR results for the beach, or for the new date, or for your doctor who screams for your cholesterol levels. Diets DONT WORK, as by definition after the restriction timeline is gone, you go back to your good, old habits ("I deserve this candy bar, I ve been on diet for 90 days!"). Yes, I have read and been on Atkins, South Beach, North Pole, West Texas and all the other diets, returning always to...my diet!

And here is Dr Papas with a WHOLE NEW CONCEPT: change your life. Live longer. Respect your body. Take a breadth and smell the spinach, the fish, the carrots you are about to eat! Introduce respect for your food as it ultimately becomes you. Its a whole new attitude for our busy life, which today is fed by dispensed, plastic snacks and trans-fatty cookies. And Dr Papas goes even further, suggesting its good to eat Fats! Fats? Yes, I learned something here: there are bad fats and good, oily fats. And figure this one out: the more of these wonder omega-3 fats you eat, the better you function and look, and the less you weigh! Ha!

I loved reading this book. It is very personal, like a life story: it is like Dr Papas invites you for a personal chat, talking to you about his food science and his personal experiences alongside the Mediterranee. And gradually he is revealing why people in France eat better, live longer and look slimmer. Its all about the fresh food, the fish, the salads, the wine and ...the chocolate! (now, hey y'all, Vive La France!)

Dont be fooled by the title: This is not a 90-day recipe for looking better at the lovely resort of St Tropez. This is a warm, easy introduction to a different quality of life we all deserve and should consider for the rest of our lives.

Thank you Dr Papas!
