Diets – particularly “lose weight fast” fad diets promoted by magazines – have been causing growing confusion over the years. To clarify what a diet should comprise – changing eating habits permanently – Dr. Enrico Forte, president of the National Board For the Preservation of Italian Healthy Eating Traditions has released the free e-book “The Definitive Guide to the Mediterranean Diet” and diet planner. Filled with helpful information, advice, and recipes, the diet and diet planner are designed to help lose weight the correct way, and keep it off.
Italy (PRWEB) January 18, 2010 — Diets and dieting have been a source of confusion among the general population increasingly over the past decade, according to the National Board For Preserving the Italian Healthy Eating Traditions president, Dr. Enrico Forte. Maintaining that the world’s healthiest diet is the Mediterranean diet, Dr. Forte has launched a free e-book named “The Definitive Guide To The Mediterranean Diet”and diet planner.
Worth $100.00, the diet and diet planner are available from his non-profit site www.mediterraneanbook.com, located in Italy.
The content of the book comprises information about healthy eating and cooking healthy meals, how to lose weight effectively and permanently, low fat recipes, and other dieting queries posed by the subscribers who signed up between 2004-2009.
“The Mediterranean Diet involves simple changes to ensure a longer and healthier life without sacrificing all the good things in the process.” says Dr. Forte, “It is the world’s healthiest diet.”
“The advantage of the Mediterranean Diet as opposed to other diets is that it is not a fad diet. However, nor is it a way to lose weight fast. It is a way to integrate a variety of healthier foods into your diet, and in doing so, losing excess weight gradually but permanently.”
“It also works as a diet to lower blood pressure.”
The National Board for Preserving the Italian Healthy Eating Traditions was established 6 years ago in Italy to encourage healthy eating, prevent and combat obesity and diseases. It is an online nutritional guide designed to educate everyone, including those who work in the health and nutrition industries, about healthy eating. The site is approved by HONCode verifying its authority and trustworthiness as a source of information in the medical and health related fields.
“The Definitive Guide To The Mediterranean Diet” includes information about the basis of the diet, tasty recipes for one week, and access to a range of online resources available for download, including an excel spreadsheet for tracking progress.
Foods used in the Mediterranean diet recipes include those rich in anti-oxidants – such as tomatoes, kiwis, strawberries, and red wine; protein – whole grains, yoghurt, nuts, and cheese; and the oil for which the Mediterranean is so famous: olive oil. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fat which is best known for its ability to reduce cholesterol.
The Mediterranean diet meal plan also includes calorie controlled portions and at the end, a breakdown as to the benefits each of the food utilized in the recipes.
Dr. Forte is confident that millions around the world can benefit from the knowledge he is providing. Nevertheless he is careful to emphasise that this information is not designed to replace the relationship between a person and their physician, merely to support it. He is convinced that poor education of dietary requirements today is the cause of increased obesity and that using – and adapting – the Mediterranean Diet’s low cholesterol diet menu provided in the free download can contribute significantly to reducing this.
“The Mediterranean Diet E-book is available free as everyone deserves to enjoy the quality of life and healthy weight balance that the low fat diet plan of the Mediterranean Diet provides.” Says Dr. Forte. “We at the National Board for the Preservation of Italian Healthy Eating Traditions are very happy to be the ones to provide it free of charge.”
Dr. Enrico Forte was born in Italy and has a Masters Degree in Nutritional Sciences from the Catania University. He currently promotes the Mediterranean Diet via his website mediterraneanbook.com, public speaking engagements and online reviews of his e-book, which allow the reviewer to distribute the book under his/her own brand or business name for free.
