Fresh from the Mediterranean. The ultimate diet mashup of the top diets. US News has ranked DASH and Mediterranean diets at the top of the list for 9 years. And now the benefits are maximized. Unprocessed or minimally processed. Without artificial sweeteners. Vegetarian or not. Over 50 exclusive new recipes. Meal plans. And everything you want to know about how this plan impacts your health. Not to mention helping you relearn how to eat in a way that quenches your hunger, naturally. And we throw out the diet myths that have prevented you from losing weight or maintaining weight loss.

When you eat mostly unprocessed foods, you will find that you get full easily. The menus below will seem like you are eating a lot of food. That is the point. These foods are bulky and filling, and keep you feeling satisfied longer. Isn't that a much better way to reach your health goals, as opposed to deprivation? Enjoy healthy eating!
