Prima quality boek

This is a truly wonderful book. It has changed the way I eat. It is simple and easy to follow.

I highly recommend the Mediterranean lifestyle fat weight loss; I did a lot of research before selecting and the Mediterranean method is a safe weight loss program and the key is reading the entire book first , it tells of the ins and outs of body function and then follow the 2week meal plan. The plan is well balanced and nutritious even on 800 calories, stick to the 2 month plan you feel invigorated, energized and healthy … then to maintain I suggest the authors Mediterranean Lifestyle cookbook easy recipes and delicious.

I bought this book in 2023 and read the first part of it and thought it was just too hard, to restrictive, too everything and tucked it away on my bookshelf. So here i am taking another look. Jan. 1 2025 I was up in weight again so I started doing a 1000cal/day diet of my own and lost 7 pounds in the first week. Second week nothing. So I got this book off the shelf and wiped the dust off and read it again and started the 800 cal/day regimen. Three more lbs down as of today 1/26/25. I'm older so I'm fine with 1-1.5 lbs a week as I have a slow metabolism. It keeps me accountable with some structure and it works with a daily 30-45 min walk. I do mostly low carb and count only protein and calories and aim for 65-70g of protein minimum per day. It's worth a try if you're determined.

I brought this book to help keep me on the right track to be more healthy and to lose weight that had crept back on over the 2020 lockdown. After watching Michael Moseley's programme recently aired in July/Aug, I knew this would be the right thing to help me. Through the entire month of May 2020, I exercised everyday - be it walking, running, trail running, cycling and Hiit workouts and I felt so deflated at the end of May when I felt I had put more weight on than off. (I don't own scales, I go on my clothes and I struggled to fit in anything, which is depressing). After watching Michael's program, I realised that it's what I am or not eating, so I ordered his new book. The book is full of facts and credible evidence as why rapid weight loss is best, getting active, the diet in practice recipe's and meal planners. Michael explains the process and flexibility to it, for those who may not be able to do the fast 800. You can do TRE (time restricted Eating) where you eat during a time period so your body fasts over the rest, and when you are sleeping, so eating breakfast a little later or dinner a little earlier. The 5:2, 2:5, 6:1 ect where your fast days are just healthy low carb Mediterranean 800 cal meals. There's plenty of meal ideas at the back to keep you going and of course you can look at other recipes on the fast 800 website and in other cookbooks. It's suggested to write down what you consume during the fast 800, which is what I am doing and Calorie counting, until I get to my idea weight and the I'll maintain the diet with a 5:2 or 6:1 and continue to eat healthy. I weigh-in with a family member who is also doing this diet, to keep us both motivated. A very good read for anyone who wants to be well, healthy and maintain wellbeing.
