1 year of Mediterranean diet AND light to moderate exercise. Lost 67 lbs.If you're on the fence about the diet please hop on over.
— K. Evans
One of the first things we changed was to cook with olive oil. We make sure to eat salmon and tuna twice a week. I eat oatmeal for breakfast (either cooked or overnight oats) topped with berries,flax and cinnamon.
Roasting vegetables using olive oil and homemade spice mixes has been really helpful, too. The meal prepping for lunches has been great for making healthier choices and planning ahead keeps us on track. My husband has said he isn't tempted to eat out anymore because what we eat at home tastes better.
The benefits are huge for making you feel better. I promise.

I did some experiments. First I eliminated caffeine. I noticed quickly, less hot flashes. Next, I eliminated alcohol. Even less hot flashes.Then I have nearly eliminated sugar (added sugar, not fruits) and saw more progress. Now I'm adding this lifestyle change. I'm short, yes, it works if you try to learn what works for your body.

It helped me lose weight and lower my blood pressure. I'm also hoping when I see my Dr next it's lowered my cholesterol now.
— Linda B
I had cholesterol problems. Had total of 2 eggs, chicken 3 times, no beef, only olive or avocado oil, salmon often, about 1 avocado a day to start with.
The fiber especially the beans almost killed me during the first week despite Beano so I did eat white rice and regular pasta instead if whole wheat.
My cholesterol and LDL decreased by 70 points.
I’m at low normal weight and my weight has stayed the same.
I thought my diet was pretty good , but found out it wasn’t.
— Margaret Donald
I do Paleo/ Med mix. It really helps with weight loss and numbers. I do feel better. It helps your skin as well. I use whole grain pasta only, wild rice, purple rice, lentils, black and red beans, salads of all kinds, fish &chicken. Dark greens of all species, avacados, berries(black, rasp, straw, blue), kiwi, watermelon. All the good fats. Olive, avocado, coconut. There are so many different recipes given here, I love it. I have not listed all the foods(it's impossible), but these I use a lot of.

I went on it in August 2024 to lower my cholesterol and manage weight. I've lost 28 pounds and my cholesterol numbers are great.
— Kim Thomson
I have lost 3 lbs this month. I've been doing a little extra exercise along with cutting back on intake. And I'm practicing chewing my food at least 20 times per bite. great way of eating

I had a fatty liver for at least 10 years and it was thought to have turned to fibrosis/cirrhosis which was very scary. This was confirmed with bloodwork, fibroscan, and Ultrasound/elastograohy. However, they could not tell me exactly what stage of liver disease I was in. After sticking to a mostly Mediterranean diet, significantly reducing alcohol, and increasing my exercise (5-6 days a week of mostly walking about 35 min) I was able to lose around 45 pounds. This took about 8 months. Amazingly, my last three lab tests show normal liver enzymes and notably, my blood glucose is much better as well (so much so for the first time ever meds were reduced and discontinued!) Last liver scan (elastography ultrasound) showed probability of a normal liver! So needless to say, I will be sticking with it.

Been following a sort of vegetarian/Mediterranean Diet for over a year, and I have been able to go off of medicine for high bp, and my cholesterol count is now much lower.
— Holly P.
8 months for me with about 6 weeks over Christmas where I stuck by it loosely. I'm off cholesterol medication (my levels weren't high but had been a little above acceptable levels for several years), my blood sugars are down (they were at the high end of the normal range). I have rheumatoid arthritis and inflammation is down meaning pain levels are down. Weight loss is slow but constant which is also good for my joints, meaning I am more mobile which, of course, is adding to the health benefits. Less headaches, skin and hair are in better condition, and, as I discovered after someone else mentioned it, I don't seem to see many floating any more. I feel great, not bloated and I'm sleeping better.
— Sarah
Ive had 4 kids - could not get rid of the baby belly thought I needed surgery to repair the gap - been eating only the M diet since Sept & its more or less gone. You just feel so much better. A doctor didnt mention it to me I got the idea from watching blue zones on netflix
— C Potter
I had migraines - 4 or 5 in-bed days a month. After 2 months on the diet, my headaches almost completely disappeared. I've had 2 in-bed days in the last 9 months! I also lost 15 lbs. I follow Healthy Food Guru and Zest My Lemon for great food ideas. I've updated all my recipes and rarely run into something I can't modify to fit the diet. The hardest part for me is not being able to buy anything pre-made due to all the additives. I've had to learn some food prep skills to make it easier to throw a quick meal together. But it is do-able! No more pain is my big motivator
