U.S. News & World Report magazine ranks the Mediterranean Diet No. 1. And almost all nutrition scientists consider a Mediterranean diet to be among the healthiest diets in the world. There are quite a few Mediterranean diet books on the market - but this is the first Mediterranean Weight Loss Diet book . The diet is based on pasta, crunchy Italian and French bread, vegetables, fruit, fish, wine , olive oil, some poultry and limited meat. The book actually contains two diets, a 1500-Calorie version and for even greater weight loss a 1200-Calorie version. Most women lose 8 to 16 pounds - depending on whether the 1500 or 1200 Calorie diet is selected. And Most men lose 14 to 24 pounds - depending on whether the 1500 or 1200 Calorie diet is selected.
