Thank you for this site! I have transitioned to a Mediterranean lifestyle and am excited about conversing with like-minded wellness conscious individuals. You will be hearing more from me!
Thank you Tonia,
this blo is for everybody who wants free info about the Med diet so feel free to join us when you want.
hi do you recommend the mediterranean diet book?
Yes Gabriel, it’s a good book to have a clear look on the Mediterranean diet
How to keep a long story short? In all that I’ve read, I sum it up this way. Any diet or food consumption and lifestyle (exercise) that supports a neutral 7.2 pH blood factor in your body will keep your life healthy and beautiful.
I haven’t purchased the diet book/cook book, therefore I have a question. In the free Diet Menu I received, there are several occasions to eat dried fruit. I can’t stomach dried fruit, so what can I eat in its’ place?
Harriet are you intolerant or allergic?
I’m making the 15-bean soup from the free Diet Menu, shouldn’t you be adding additional water after draining in order to make the soup. The only liquid ingredients being added in the receipe are the canned tomatoes and 1tsp of lemon juice…not enough to make a soup.
Sure Harriet you can add water to make the soup, some times it requires only the water released by tomatoes and some times you’ll need to add water.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Just found your site, love it and the menus as I am just starting on the mediterranean diet. One question please, what do you think about diet drinks? I drink maybe a couple a week. Thanks and thanks also for your site.
Sandy thanks for your comment.
Generally I don’t like diet drinks because I prefer milk shakes with fresh fruit. (My favorite is milk, honey, banana, apple and pear).
Warm regards
Is there a way to show me how much to eat on this diet. I overeat and need to control my portions
Sure!!

Thank you for your email and we are very much apprieciate it. So how can we help each other to educate more people about Natural Health care?
I would like to start enjoying this diet and lifestyle, however, I do not like fish. What would be the alternative of having that much fish per week. Also it looks kind of expensive.
I am interested in learning more about the Med. plan. It’s a very nice and informative
site.
But, I don’t know for sure what I am suppose to do next?
I am a Holistic Health Practitioner who would love t o direct my clients towards Mediterranean Cuisine. I have always felt that this way of eating was extremely healthy and I have tried to live by it most of my life except for during my apprenticeship in Culinary school, then it became difficult. I look forward to what you have to offer. Thank you for creating this site and for sharing.
I am having trouble getting to the calorie meal planner, I registered for it and confirmed subscription in my email. Can you help?
@Becky
Have you downloaded it yet?
What’s your version of MS Excel?
Thank you
I have struggled with weight and inferfility issues (PCOS) for many years and finally feel ready to conquer this issue. I am one that needs a good outline and plan to make it work. Do you recommend any specific books to aid in weight loss that are Med-eating friendly? I have been trying this lifestyle for a while and LOVE it! Just want to focus more on the weightloss now.

sincerely

I am allergic to many foods including the following:
Gluten, wheat, milk, tuna fish. I have to stay mostly on a rotation date to keep from building up
another allergy. I am also on a blood thinner which limits the amount of green vegatables
that I can eat because of the Vitamin K clotting factor. Neeedless to say, I am overweight and
gaining gradually. I love to cook and I am exchanging gluten free flour for wheat/white flour.
I eat brown rice, rice spaggetti, gluten free bread from Whole Foods. I try to eat a limited amount of the high carb foods. It seems all of the diet plans do not work for me. I am also
at that difficult age of 80 where the metabolism doesn’t work. Thanks for any suggestions.
How do I purchase a Mediterranean diet book please advise
Many thanks

I was preparing to start your recipe for 15 bean soup tonight when I noticed that there is no liquid included in the ingredients. Was this an oversight? It’s going to be awfully thick soup without any liquid.
Did you know Valerie’s name is spelled Fortie (twice) in your About Us section?
Good morning
Mediterranean diet book where can I purchase one from?
Can someone please email me and let me know
Many thanks
Janice
