Summary: Accurate and motivational summary of the Mediterranean diet
Comment: I am myself a physician, and bought this book, with others, looking for ideas and recipes after the highly impressive recent scientific article showing benefits for total mortality (people live longer!) coronary mortality, and cancer mortality. This is very impressive for a diet, and many drugs don't have evidence this good. The book has a few, very good recipes, but is an accurate, readable, and motivating summary of the benefits of the diet. Very topical ideas not known by all in the medical profession are included. An example is that fish oils help prevent irregular heart beats, which if unchecked can at times progress to sudden cardiac death. It may be just a bit technical, but I thought it was wonderful, topical, and readable.

Summary: Tells You Everything You Need to Know
Comment: I think this book is impressive. I purchased it after being advised by my doctor to start eating a Mediterranen diet. It was easy to read and understand. It includes a Mediterranean Diet Food Pyramid that explains which foods to eat daily, weekly, and mothly and how many servings to aim for. This is something I had a hard time finding on the internet. It does a very good job of explainging the benefits of eating a Mediterranean type diet by discussing each food group and the benefits acquired from each one. It also inspires you to change your life to a more Mediterranea type life by adding physical activity, relaxation, time with friends, and time with nature into your life. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be healthier and happier.

Summary: HOW'S THAT AGAIN?
Comment: I am only quessing at a suitable rating since I just received this book and hastily paged through it to get the gist of its content. I can't rate the book yet but I already know I have a problem. Why in the world didn't this author give us a pronunciation guide? I am trying to begin this diet hoping it will please my husband and help us both in weight loss and health enhancement. What do I say when he says, "What's for dinner?".
