Summer is the prime time of the year to be active outdoors. Go to the beach and play volleyball with friends, or even go for a long walk with your dog. Whatever you do though, make sure that you keep active. Exercise is the essential key to a healthy life, along with a fantastic diet too.
If you haven't previously heard of the Mediterranean Diet, it's extremely beneficial and worth trying.
Slimmer: The Mediterranean Way to Lose Weight
The International Bestselling Diet Plan
Released for the first time in America: Join the hundreds of thousands who have lost weight and kept it off for good with this bestselling diet book from the Mediterranean, featuring over 80 delicious, easy-to-make recipes.
In just one year, Harry Papas gained 110 pounds. Then he lost it all for life. Papas, a certified dietician in Greece, shed the pounds by creating a simple yet revolutionary nutrition plan: a delicious, low-fat Mediterranean diet coupled with the self-awareness he needed to combat the triggers that contributed to his weight gain.
Unlike other diets, Slimmer’s three-cycle, richly varied meal plan doesn’t restrict you from enjoying carbs, sugars, or fats, and it doesn’t enforce calorie counting. Rather, the nine-week program is designed to help you stay slim while actually enjoying what you eat, encouraging you to adopt a simpler lifestyle and lifelong healthy habits. This easy-to-follow plan will allow you to get rid of those unwanted pounds with incredibly flavorful and satisfying meals, full of sustaining, wholesome foods—such as fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil, and yogurt—that have been enjoyed for centuries by those in the Mediterranean.
Packed with recipes and practical nutritional advice, Slimmer also helps you understand why you gained weight and provides the psychological support and encouragement you need to successfully lose weight and permanently retain the loss.
The Mediterranean diet has been popular for years and truly works. I lost 15 lbs on it last year. You don't feel deprived at all and you get to enjoy delicious, flavorful meals while simultaneously dropping those unwanted pounds!
If you've been struggling with your weight and are looking for a way to lose some, Slimmer might just be what you need.
