Written by an experienced Miami cardiologist, the Miami Mediterranean Diet is an excellent introduction to the lifestyle and recipes of the Mediterranean diet, as filtered through an American lens, which, nevertheless, retains all of the heart-healthy benefits of the original Mediterranean diet. Far from being just another fad diet, The Mediteranean diet is the only diet clinically proven, for more than four decades now, to reduce the incidence of heart disease, cancer and stroke, and possibly neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Michael Ozner makes the case for moving away from the pro-inflammatory American diet towards the anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet in order to prevent atherosclerosis, heart disease and other inflammation-related ailments that are all-too common in the West. The Miami Mediterranean diet features plenty of low-fat, high-fiber, olive-oil-rich, flavor-packed recipes made with fresh fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, lean dairy, nuts, legumes and whole grains. It will help you lose weight and change your lifestyle for the better, for once and for all. This is a diet that anyone can benefit from, whether you are seeking to lose weight, prevent diabetes, reduce allergy or arthritis symptoms, reverse heart disease, or avoid IBS symptoms. Highly recommended.

Exellent

Ever since my huusband purchased the book we have made our meals straight from the recipes. We feel better and the food taste great.

Should not be labeled "diet"

This is a great book for a person with any type of heart problems or who wants to lower their risk of heart problems. It is not really geared to losing weight, but to being healthier. It was recommended by my husband's doctor and is great for heart disease.

Healthier Already

Being half Italian, I love to eat. And not always the healthiest foods. While not overweight, I decided to pick up a copy of Dr. Ozner's book. I've gained immediate results by following the principles and guidelines he so concisely recommends. Now I feel more energized and renewed than I have in years. I commend him for writing a health book that actually gets results without the pain and longing that many diets entail.

Promotes a healthy way of living

Oils in your diet prevent hardening of the arteries, and helps our skin, hair, and flexibility. This book gives an alternative to salty diets and those which deplete our system rather than energize it. This isn't a diet of depreviation but rather a way to change our palates to a healthier way of life.
