A Mediterranean-style eating plan with recipes, nutrition guidance, and exercise
Marissa Cloutier frames traditional Mediterranean cuisine as the basis for a weight-loss and wellness program, pairing a seven-day eating plan with a separate three-day exercise plan. The book organizes nutritional information by food category and builds its approach around full recipes rather than abstract diet rules, ranging from Moroccan vegetable stew and eggplant parmesan to rosemary focaccia and lemon almond cake. Its health claims—including connections to coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancer—are presented as part of the book’s dietary framework. With 352 pages, this second edition combines menu planning, nutrition reference material, exercise guidance, and a broad collection of savory and sweet dishes.
