About this ebook

Lose Weight and Feel Great by Indulging in the World’s Healthiest and Most Delicious Diet!

Ancient Greeks enjoyed wine and rich ingredients like olive oil and honey, and their bodies were immortalized in sculpture as a standard of beauty and sensuality. Today new studies prove that the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest food plan in the world. Research shows that it is noted for reducing the risk of diabetes, improving heart health, and sharpening the mind with foods rich in omega-3s. Now, in The Greek Diet, world-renowned chef Maria Loi—who grew up in a small Greek village where she learned to cook from family recipes—has teamed up with veteran health journalist Sarah Toland to bring the weight-loss and health benefits of the traditional Greek diet straight to your table.

The Greek Diet offers:

  • Easy-to-follow meal plans that are structured around the twelve Pillar Foods of the Mediterranean diet to jump-start your weight loss and improve your overall health.
  • 100 authentic, mouthwatering Greek recipes using whole foods and unprocessed
  • ingredients, including what the New York Times called one of the best Greek yogurts.
  • Plans that can be modified to fit any lifestyle, including gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives.
  • The twelve Pillar Foods of a Greek diet, including olive oil, Greek yogurt, wine, coffee,
  • and tea.

. . . and more!

More than just a weight-loss plan, The Greek Diet is a path back to health and a way of eating that is not only sustainable but also completely satisfying and enjoyable.
