This cookbook offers a wealth of information on healthy recipes from a variety of Mediterranean countries. Creative and authentic recipes. Simple directions and beautiful photographs of each recipe. The book includes nutritional information, meal planning suggestions, measurements and oven temperatures are included in English and Metric measure. I look forward to preparing many of these recipes in the upcoming weeks.

Understanding that a diet plan is different for everybody based on their life style, this book, however, provides excellent tips and tricks, as well as a guideline to a healthier life style. Included recipes might not be for everyone if you followed step by step, as they probably will not taste the best. But if you're willing to be adventurous to try out different things based off of these recipes, I'm sure you'll find a healthy meal that you and your family will love. Highly recommended.

DISCLAIMER: I received the paperback edition free or at a discounted price. It does not affect my unbiased opinion toward the book nor the vendor.

My family has been working toward a healthier lifestyle and since we love to eat, we figured our diet was a good place to start. Both my GP and nutritionist recommended this book. My family is working toward implementing these changes and the food has been delicious.

I loved this book because it leaves you excited to bring healthy foods, exercise and mental wellness into your life.  Pop is filled with inspiring nutritional, lifestyle, psychological, and practical approaches to eliminate dieting and teach you the path to allow food and mealtime to be a positive, fun, and healthy part of life.  Dr. Cipriano clearly shows the links between poor eating habits and illness, and wholesome foods /lifestyle and wellness, and thus motivates the reader to delight in filling one's home with tasty and nutritious food.  Dr. Herman provides the psychological insight into ways to think and feel good about oneself without turning to food to fill emotional needs.  He talks about the importance of examining one's internal dialogue and providing oneself with the positive messages to boast self-esteem and healthy eating habits.  After finishing this book, I felt motivated to eat a dinner of salmon, peppers, peas and salad, and lost my interest in nibbling on the chocolate chips I had been mindlessly munching for days.  I even stopped reading to take some Omega 3 supplements and made a note to increase these in my daily diet.  The book is also full of easy meal ideas and the health benefits of various foods.  Having just finished the book, I am excited to go food shopping tomorrow to increase the variety of my healthy foods.  Instead of shopping for the cookies that have been on my mind, I am eager to bring back my long-forgotten spaghetti squash, green teas, and replace my desserts (which have been increasing with the holiday season) with fresh berries.  I am also looking forward to making a list of alternative ideas to eating, which I can place on the refrigerator to refer to when I want to eat out of boredom.  Even if you incorporate just a few of the ideas in this book, you will have made lifestyle changes that will allow you to be healthier without the burden of a diet.  This book will excite you!

The book offers a very simple way of eating fresh, whole food. It gives a list of the ingredients that are dangerous and unhealthy, as well as a list of the foods that we need to eat more. It is written in a way the reader can easily understand and remember.
I liked the book because it reminded me of how brainwashed we are as a nation, thinking that bigger portions and food that can stay on the shelf for months is good. The purpose of the book is not to help the reader loose weight fast , but rather do it in a slow process that will give great results through lifetime.

This book presents a great, wholistic approach to eating well. The plan is simple, but not easy when you are used to the SAD. I found it inspiring. It suggests ways to make changes a little at a time, which is helpful - progress, not perfection.

The food choices are great but lean toward a diet of fairly low carbs. That said,
The author is not against tweaking your food choices to your liking  as
long as you stay within the food types.
This is a common sense approach to a healthy lifestyle and I appreciate
the premise of not stressing so much over diet.
I live in a constant 'well I failed it today' downer .
I am making lots of soups from good sources.
I have diverticulitis and cannot eat too many raw vegetables and I don't eat
a high level of insoluble fiber as it triggers an attack from the increased inflammation
those create.
I appreciate the simplicity in this book and feel that the suggestions  could be easily followed.

UPDATE: The author  does NOT advocate a low carb diet (bless you) and clarifies this in his 5/25
updated version that is much more specific about the types of food he encourages.
This book covers every aspect of eating and I  now have the feeling that  food is my friend and
I can more easily  and peacefully  continue my journey toward health and vitality.

Clean eating is perhaps the most desirable form of dieting because it doesn't rely on calorie counting, which I did to be extremely tedious. The whole diet basically comes down to consuming foods in their natural state, organic naturally grown. With all of the chemicals used to grow our produce and ingredients we can't pronounce, it makes me wonder what I am eating in this energy bar, why canned tuna is able to last so long, etc. It seems fishy. Anyway, this book has a 7 day dietary plan to follow at the end, and before that you will have general guidelines that direct you towards a healthier lifestyle. I personally found this book entertaining. Some of the information might be things you've heard before, but I refer to these points as healthy reminders to generate more physical vitality. Brief, well-structures, easy to follow. I'd say if you don't like the heavy restrictions and tedious nature of many diets, this is a very viable and simpler option, taking things back to the basics.

Dr. Perlmutter is taking nutrition to a new level. He flips the conventional wisdom of eating a low fat, high carb grain bases diet. He gives sound advice with the science explained to back up his diet. This book may save your brain from dementia.

When I downloaded this book, I got excited about some new inspiration for switching up my eating routine because lately I have felt a little bored. With New Years resolutions around the corner, this book offers great ideas for adding nutrient-dense power foods to ones lifestyle. It does not obsess over calorie counting and is not about promoting crash diets, but rather offers healthy recipes and encourages conscious eating in a way where weight loss may just be a natural side effect of incorporating foods with disease-fighting and energy-boosting properties. The book offers easy-to-follow recipes (including a 7 day plan to help ease the transition).  As a vegetarian, I am especially excited to try so many of the recipes that are fresh, clean and meatless. I am looking forward to trying recipes that are feel-good and encourage an eat to live mentality, while increasing my brainpower, heart health, and overall well-being.

Excellent lifestyle changes for healthy eating habits and to find out what foods bother you most. Overall the program is easy and the side effect for my wife and I was shedding a few pounds, although not our goal from the start. There is so much crud in food today this book helps you recognize and work around those obstacles to feel and eat better.

I have just started reading "The UltraSimple Diet" so I cannot write a full report.  Glancing at sections when purchased I decided the book would assist in providing a sensible eating plan that promotes optimal health.  On this basis I also bought a copy for a friend to assist this person in setting a structure toward general good health and weight control.  Because Dr. Hyman is knowledgeable in nutrition as an approach to getting and staying well, I am anticipating the book will deliver program assistance I am seeking.

Great Book! If you are looking for a way to get your health back on track this is a different outlook on not what you are eating but when you eat!
