Beyond the Mediterranean Diet

It is true! You can become slender and healthy while enjoying pasta, chocolate, cheese, bread and wine! Internationally recognised nutrition Expert Layne Lieberman, MS, RD, CDN, shows you how in this exciting book. Award-winning registered dietician Layne Lieberman discovered that three European countries were leaders in longevity, with very low rates of heart disease, obesity and diabetes. And yet, these countries -- Italy, France and Switzerland -- boast some of the world's most decadent foods. Layne travelled to Europe to learn first-hand just how these countries could combine superb food, a relaxed lifestyle and exceptional health. Now, she shares her findings with readers who face the daily temptations of processed foods loaded with fat, sugar and salt. To help readers avoid becoming part of the world-wide obesity epidemic, Layne has written this book. In it, she reveals how to make Europe's health secrets work for you -- wherever you live! Includes 50 mouth-watering and nutritious recipes with nutritional analysis.
