"I am new to the Mediterranean Diet way of eating and wanted a good start. This book was very disappointing, and I was not inspired at all. First - there are no pictures to speak of which is sad because the Mediterranean Diet is full of colorful food, I think there was a picture of oatmeal. Second I saw too many hard boiled eggs and smoothies for breakfast. Not what I had in mind at all. This book might work for you but did nothing for me so I returned it and had to pay postage. I ran across a Diabetic Living Magazine in my grocery store and loved it. I think the recipes are very close to Mediterranean and there is a beautiful color photo for EACH recipe. This was perfect for me and you might want to look at one also. I'm not diabetic but it looks like a very healthy diet, just like the Mediterranean, lots of vegetables, fruit and limited red meat."

- This is a very comprehensive eating and exercise plan based on the Mediterranean diet. The recipes are good, and the 28 day plan is all mapped out for you. However, there is a lot of preparation and cooking required if you follow the 28 day menu. For week one, you will have to buy 7 dairy products, 39 different articles of produce, 9 meats, 5 grains, various canned items, and you will be using at least 15 different spices. Many of the recipes such as White Bean and Kale Soup must be made and placed into 6 freezer containers. You will need lots of containers. If you are willing to shop, cook, and freeze in quantity, this can be a marvelous plan. But you must put in the time.
- Note that if you buy the version, the prep pages that follow each week's menu are not useable or even able to be read as the formatting is scrambled.
- I've followed a lot of meal plans but this one is very confusing. It's tough to know if you're actually following it correctly. I spent $225 on the shopping list for the first week, only to find it would really last me two or three weeks. It's nearly impossible to eat all of the food the book prescribes in the time given.
In addition, the first week of food prep has you make foods that are then not referenced anywhere. I made Baba Ganoush but then it wasn't used, as an example.
Lastly, the portions are really off. The first day has you make salmon and the recipe says it serves six. You eat a portion the first night, and then "leftovers" the next day for lunch. Are "leftovers" a full portion or not? It's very unclear. What do I do with the remaining four portions? They aren't mentioned.
With all of that said, the recipes are decent. The plan seems like a sound one if you adjust it. But if you're looking for a plan to follow for 28 days I would say you should keep looking. I'm pretty disappointed in this plan. - This has to be the best diet/cookbook I've ever purchased. The plan is easy to understand and use, the meals consisting of ingredients that are either on hand or easy to find anywhere. There is prep involved, but most of it is easily done within a half an hour, not including cook times. I have a renewed interest in cooking now, feel great, and am losing weight. Most of all, there isn't one dish in two weeks that I haven't enjoyed--if an ingredient (e.g. fennel) isn't what I like, I just pick another meal. This is a life-changing "how to" book!
- For the last several years we have done the Whole30 in January. This year we wanted a change and chose the Mediterranean Diet program. We LOVED it and in mid-February are still following this diet/lifestyle. I really think the book is well written. I like how recipes take what you have for dinner and use the leftovers for lunch the following day. Speaking of the recipes they are really delicious. Definitely the meals take time and they take planning -- but you can do weekend prep and freezing -- and make it work if you want to badly enough. The food is delicious and really for a family that stayed away from processed food to begin with this was an easy step to make. You will lose weight with this lifestyle, you will not be starving -- and will enjoy the food while doing it.
- This book is for everyone trying to eat healthier and lose the unwanted pounds...and the recipes are delicious!!! I can follow this plan without feeling the dreaded DIET!!!

- Most cook books will give you a couple of sample recipes in the "look inside" feature to see if it's something you would actually want to make. The reviews were good, so I took a chance...and I am disappointed I did. The recipes are not anything special and do not have a lot of flavor. I thoroughly enjoy cooking, and I am trying to adhere to a more Mediterranean diet, but I don't want to be on a "diet" which is exactly what this cookbook is. Mediterranean fare is already light, and this cookbook manages to take all the flavor out of everything. no longer allows free returns so this one will go in the donation bin.
