Learn to eat well, and live well, with this beginner’s guide to the Mediterranean diet!

Renowned for its health benefits, the Mediterranean diet promotes a cultural tradition that focuses on fresh, natural ingredients for every meal. The disease-fighting antioxidants and omega-3s found in the nutrient-rich foods central to the diet help promote:

• • Heart health

• • Weight management

• • Bone health

• • Cognitive decline prevention

• • Reduction of stroke risk

The Mediterranean Diet for Beginners eases you into new eating habits with an overview of the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle, 100+ introductory recipes, and a sample 7-day meal plan: from a breakfast of crisp, refreshing melon and berries in a Summer Day Fruit Salad to the smoky flake and tangy creaminess of Dilly Baked Salmon for dinner with lightly sweet Homemade Biscotti to finish—and that’s just a single day!

Other diet cookbooks overwhelm beginners with too much information and too many recipes. The Mediterranean Diet for Beginners is the perfect mix of insight and recipes to start your journey to healthier living.
