THE GREEK DOCTOR'S DIET Dr Fedon Alexander Lindberg
The traditional Mediterranean diet, especially the Greek diet (typically high in olive oil, fish, vegetables, beans, lentils and fruit, and low in potatoes, red meat and dairy foods), has been known for the past 40 years to be particularly healthy, and is the starting point for this book. Dr Lindberg shows you how to change your lifestyle so you can control your weight and your blood sugar and improve your overall health. He advocates a ‘slow-carb’ approach, based on eating natural foods and keeping a close eye on the Glycaemic Index and the Glycaemic Load. His methods are from the cutting edge of scientific research and his recipes, which allow you to eat plenty of food to satisfy your appetite, are at the most delicious end of the ‘Mediterranean diet’ spectrum. Best of all, they protect you from lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma, rheumatism, cancer and more.
