"Why the Mediterranean Diet" is a comprehensive guide to the Mediterranean diet that explains how it works, its health benefits, and how to get started with it. The audiobook covers everything from the history of the diet to its key principles, such as eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and whole grains.

Interesting book

This is a very interesting book. I am interested in learning more about the Mediterranean diet. It seems much healthier than the traditional American diet. I like that the Mediterranean diet focuses more on fish than other proteins. Red meat and dairy are much more limited than what Americans are used to. I feel that to improve health a change like this may be just what is needed.

Packed with great information

This is a great book educating on the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, actually lifestyle.

Things I love about this book:

1. As an RN, I know that the information is valuable and science based. I recommend this diet to my patients.

2. It includes a full week of meal examples to get you started.

3. It also includes an exercise section.

4. To me, this book is not just about a diet, it is about health. It's not a quick weight loss plan, it's actually helping the reader make lifestyle changes that will help them forever, or as long as they stick to it.

Highly recommended and Nurse approved.

"Eat good, live good." 

As the world is growing fast, people now start to find ease in everything. Most people don't love to cook. As a result, they start to consume fast food, which eventually causes disease in them.


To eat well and live actively, the writer in this book tells us about the Mediterranean diet. Following it helps you to eat tasty food as well as have a disease-free life.

Eat Healthy, Stay Healthy!

It is an amazing book related to the Mediterranean Diet. Mostly, it does happen that whenever we start dieting then we quit after a while. To remain constant is a tough job because it is not easy to quit tasty food for a long time. So, this guide is really working as a friendly trainer for one who wants something interesting for their diet.

It is a good recommendation for everyone and especially who wants to reduce their weight with healthy diet plan.

This is a great book with recipes that I need!!

I love the Mediterranean lifestyle.. the culture and architecture. but I am also aware that many in this region seem to live a longer life. It is supposedly due to the diet. These recipes are rich with vegetables and oils that assist with a better healthier meal. The fats alone do more for us than we realize and this book breaks down the benefits.
