Product Description
LOSE WEIGHT, STAY FIT, AND FEEL GREAT WHILE EATING SOME OF THE MOST DELICIOUS AND HEALTHIEST FOOD ON EARTH.
Renowned for its dazzling beauty and delectable cuisine, the Mediterranean island of Sicily has historically one of the healthiest diets in the world. Recent studies show that this eating style can reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and depression, and that it can even increase fertility rates! Now all the succulent flavors and myriad benefits of Sicilian cooking are yours to savor in the very first weight-loss program that will not only help you effortlessly shed unwanted pounds but will become a prescription for a lifetime of nourishing, palate-pleasing fare.
Created by respected physician Dr. Angelo Acquista, who has successful counseled his patients on weight management for years, The Mediterranean Prescription starts with a two-week weight-loss stage that includes simple, delectable recipes to help you lose eight to ten pounds right away. Still convinced that all diets leave you feeling deprived? Imagine eating Baked Zucchini with Eggplant and Tomatoes, Sweet-and-Sour Red Snapper, Chicken Cacciatore, Pasta Fagioli, and Baked Onions. Dr. Acquista culled his Sicilian mother’s recipe box for the most mouthwatering recipes–plus he includes meals from famous chefs at top Italian restaurants, such as Cipriani and Serafina. If you follow these lifestyle-changing suggestions, you will enjoy
• long-term success: Eat the foods you love and enjoy–bread, pasta, and all your favorite Italian dishes–while adopting healthier eating habits.
• no more addictions: A two-week “tough love” stage helps you kick the habit of sugar, junk food, and preservatives.
• zero deprivation: The Sicilian way of cooking and combining foods means less snacking in between meals, and less temptation to fill up on desserts.
• family-friendly recipes: Children will love and benefit from the dishes as well, so you can share the good eating and the good health.
Plus you’ll find vital information on how being overweight affects each part of your body, including the skin, brain, heart, liver, joints, back, and breasts.
Most people don’t realize that many of their health problems derive from unhealthful weight. Discover the Sicilian secret to a happy life. Capture a pleasurable way of eating that will bring all the blessings and bounty of the Mediterranean to your table, to your life, and to your health!

This is going to prove a great purchase for me. I am used to eating in this fashion; fresh fruits and veggies, fish, chicken. Although I am not Sicilian, I am Neapolitan, I agree with most everything in it! All kidding aside, this book will revolutionize the way you look at food, and see its' possibilities in terms of weight loss and health.

Went on the prescription in March. Within 3 weeks I had lost 18 lbs! In 30 days I took off 28. I went from 196 to 168 lbs.
I can't thank you enough. Going to the docs next week and it looks like I will be taken of my blood pressure med and lowering my cholesterol medication as well.
As far as the readability of the book there are only 2 pages to read and you are on your way. It is that simple to begin. Good, simple, flavorful recipes make it easy to get on board.
This is not a diet but an attitude change in eating habits. I am always full and have found new ways to cook I never thought of or would have attempted. I have turned 5 others on to this book with the same results.
We all thank you!
Great insight and recipes. June 8, 2010

This totally altered my eating habits for the better. I think about my food, relationships and exercise in a completely different way and now I enjoy all three in a healthier way! Recipes are PERFECT. Very authentic where they are so so simple and extremely yummy. I'm cooking fish all the time which I have never done before! It has really made my life well-rounded and I'm no longer stressing bout my food choices. I've recommended it and bought it for all my girlfriends that struggle with balancing food, friends and physical activity. You'll have an entire new outlook on fresh foods and carbs when you're done.

The Mediterranean Prescription is terrific. Lost 12 lbs, still have more to go, so I am continuining the basic at this time. Food keeps me full and I really don't miss any of my old junkie foods. Along with exercise and some strength program, it works!
It comes highly recommended by my Doctor. Top recommendations for anyone who wants to eat healthy.
