LOSE WEIGHT, STAY FIT, AND FEEL GREAT WHILE EATING SOME OF THE MOST DELICIOUS AND HEALTHIEST FOOD ON EARTH.
Renowned for its dazzling beauty and delectable cuisine, the Mediterranean island of Sicily has historically one of the healthiest diets in the world. Now all the succulent flavors and myriad benefits of Sicilian cooking are yours to savor in the very first weight-loss program that will not only help you effortlessly shed unwanted pounds but will become a prescription for a lifetime of nourishing, palate-pleasing fare.
Created by respected physician Dr. Angelo Acquista, who has successful counseled his patients on weight management for years, The Mediterranean Prescription starts with a two-week weight-loss stage that includes simple, delectable recipes to help you lose eight to ten pounds right away. Still convinced that all diets leave you feeling deprived? Imagine eating Baked Zucchini with Eggplant and Tomatoes, Sweet-and-Sour Red Snapper, Chicken Cacciatore, Pasta Fagioli, and Baked Onions. Dr. Acquista culled his Sicilian mother’s recipe box for the most mouthwatering recipes–plus he includes meals from famous chefs at top Italian restaurants, such as Cipriani and Serafina. If you follow these lifestyle-changing suggestions, you will enjoy
• long-term success: Eat the foods you love and enjoy–bread, pasta, and all your favorite Italian dishes–while adopting healthier eating habits.
• no more addictions: A two-week “tough love” stage helps you kick the habit of sugar, junk food, and preservatives.
• zero deprivation: The Sicilian way of cooking and combining foods means less snacking in between meals, and less temptation to fill up on desserts.
• family-friendly recipes: Children will love and benefit from the dishes as well, so you can share the good eating and the good health.
Plus you’ll find vital information on how being overweight affects each part of your body, including the skin, brain, heart, liver, joints, back, and breasts.
Most people don’t realize that many of their health problems derive from unhealthful weight. Discover the Sicilian secret to a happy life. Capture a pleasurable way of eating that will bring all the blessings and bounty of the Mediterranean to your table, to your life, and to your health!
Great book. Recipes are delish!
| Customer Rating: | I liked this book so much that I bought four more for family members. The recipes are easy to prepare and delicious. The diet is very healthful.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a healthy alternative to "dieting"! |
Very informative!
| Customer Rating: | | The book shows common sense application ways to eat and live daily. Physical activity,vegetables, fruit, legumes, dairy, nuts and seeds, olive oil and wine - daily then weekly fish, poultry, eggs, lean meat, monthly - veg. oils, sat. fats, ref. carb. sweets! Living on an island they had a low cancer and cardiac problem. Hmmm! They were not overweight! Just following the first part stressing more veg. and fruit I lost weight fast! My skin looked better. It's easy. I noted my temper was better too! It's an easy cooking diet! |
The Mediterranean Prescription: Meal Pans and Recipes to Help You Stay Slim and Healthy for the Rest of Your Life
| Customer Rating:  | I am very disappointed in this book. The actual recipes make up only a small portion of the book. The rest of the book is the same stuff you find in any diet/healthy eating book; eat more vegetables, more whole grains and substitute this for that when eating out, etc. A chart of food counts. Health problems caused by eating wrong.
Then the actual recipes: Squid anyone? I guess it's called calamari, but never saw it in my local grocery store. And what is Branzino? Where does this guy shop for groceries?
Want to cook more the Mediterranean way? Take your favorite chicken recipe, make sure it has lemons or tomatoes, and around 5 Tablespoons of Olive Oil! Sorry, tomatoes and chicken don't work for me. So far not one recipe I tried out of here is a keeper for our family and I really wanted this to work. |
GREAT RECIPES!
| Customer Rating: | | I got this book as was fed up with fad diets and it has made me change my eating habits completely. I now buy all fresh produce and use olive oil alot! the chick peas salad is really good, i never ate chick peas before. I live on fish, veg and fruit and now eat very little meat. I have dropped 6lbs in 3 weeks so im sticking to this as i never get hungry and love preparing the food. Great book, great recipes. |
The Mediterranean Prescription
| Customer Rating: | | Great book, not like a diet, but this book will help you lose weight and stay healthy for life. Full of excellent recipes and meal plans. I have lost five pounds in just a week on this plan. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in eating healthier. |
