I'm kinda new to the mediterranean cooking style and this book is wonderful. The recipes are great,the 28 day plan is great, let's just say that I love this book. It gives me joy to read and use this book. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

I just received it today, and on first glance I'm truly impressed. Recipes are easy to understand and to break down if you don't want to make a meal that has 6 portions. I saw that and thought it would be great leftovers for lunch. In response to the review that said there were stains on the book, it isn't so. It is the paper having the appearance of it being well used and weathered. Also, in response to the review about there being 96 items on the grocery list for the first week, may also may not be true. This is because you may already have these things on hand, such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini and spices such as cayenne etc. IMHO I did not think it way too out there. I will update my review once I get into the diet, but so far I'm excited to give it a try.

A wonderful plan if you wish to make a positive change to your diet.

I purchased this book 3 weeks ago, and we love the meals! Not going to lie; it is a lot of cooking and prep. You can make some things in advance - I've been using Sunday for that but you will have to cook every night. This is something you will have to plan out in advance and budget for - the weekly shopping is not cheap...warning in advance. However, I am down 13lbs in 3 weeks so it is worth it, not to mention how much better I feel eating really healthy.

You need a lot of money to follow this

Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2021

I picked this book up for the recipes and the meal plan. The meal plan has a ton of ingredients and a lot of expensive ones too. In one week scallops and swordfish are on the menu. The cheapest scallops at my grocery store are $20 and that's just about half of my weekly budget nevermind the swordfish. There's a lot of cooking with wine, which are more additional costs and overall a lot of other ingredients especially when they suggest juicing. There's a lot of eggs and some other weird choices like putting in deli meat in the meal plan, which I didn't think was part of the med diet. The Mediterranean diet has historically been eaten by the lower classes on the Med, which is why I assumed more affordable recipes. If you can spend $60-100 a week or more on groceries than this might be for you. If not you may be priced out of the book and its meal plan.

STRONGLY encourage you to get this book. It’s not a cookbook, it’s a diet plan and I’ve lost 6 pounds in 1.5 weeks by keeping to portion size, which is so much easier than I expected. The meals are delicious, nutritious, and filling. I agree with others that the ever-changing servings per meal are annoying, and there’s a lot of chopping fresh food. Portioning everything out and sticking the leftovers in the fridge was easy and a nice break from cooking lunch. The eggplant on the first week’s shopping list was a mistake. I couldn’t find eggplant in any recipe that week. In the big picture these are little flaws as you will feel good (and full) while you lose weight!

Much more energy after 28 days!

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am a family nurse practitioner and a I'm constantly encouraging my patients to eat healthier diet. All along I was trying to do the same but was failing. I finally decided to get serious about eating better myself. It also gave me the encouragement I needed to get more active. I have felt tired and fatigued from most of my life . After eating a Mediterranean diet for about a month I began to have more energy. Maybe I just was not getting enough healthy fat in my diet. Anyway, I am so grateful to this author for this amazing book! I know this is anecdotal because it is only one person and my response to eating this way, but this book has actually changed my life!
Problems I found with this book.
1. The menu plan is created for a family or at least a couple. If you are buying this for one person the food will last much longer then is planned for in the 28-day plan. I just pick out a few recipes and trying to follow along and repeat the meals much more frequently then is indicated in the book. I still follow the plan as closely as possible but not exactly as written. I definitely do not use the grocery list because you can spend an outrageous amount of money and half of your produce will go rotten in the refrigerator because you just can't eat all that food. I have found that I actually have to shop for about 2-3 days worth of the 28-day plan and it usually lasts me about a week.
2.
It's better to buy the book version than the Kindle version of this cookbook. It's just so hard to flip back and forth on a Kindle so the book is just much easier.
Things I love!
1. I have more energy! Who knew that after following a Weight Watchers style diet for most of my life I was probably hurting myself! This is a much healthier way to eat. My mood has actually improved. I'm not trying to fall asleep throughout the whole day! I feel like I'm thinking better and I'm a much more productive person.
2. The food is good! It has opened my eyes to new ways to cook food and nothing is that difficult. A chocolate banana shake for breakfast? Love it! Brought a salad to a potluck dinner and it was the highlight of the evening. I wish all my patients would eat this way but it is a lot to ask and it is a pretty big commitment - but it is definitely worth it!

Lots of great recipes, great way to eat healthy!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024

After having someone pass away from cancer in my husband's family, I was on a mission to changing my husband's eating habits. I decided to go with the Mediterranean way of eating because of the solid research done year after year of eating this way. I already was watching what I eat because of a health scare years ago, when I lost weight and started a new lifestyle change.
My husband and I started the four week plan and now are creating our own meals, still with following the food pyramid and the recipes that we liked. I also still do intermittent fasting, but am eating the same as my husband to help motivate him to stick to it.
The only complaint I have with the book is their is no pictures of the food. Every week I printed off the recipes and place them in a folder. It made it so much easier to flip the page to see what the day's meal was going to be. Also, the author has what you make for dinner, your lunch the next day. I bento our meals for the next day and it makes it so easy to grab and go!
