Wake up America! "Low-carb" diets are potentially dangerous and there are no long-term studies proving their safety or efficacy. The Mediterranean diet has been around for thousands of years. It is safe and clinically proven to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Moreover, the Mediterranean cuisine is delicious and the ingredients needed to prepare the recipes can be found in any grocery store. Isn't this the type of diet that you want for yourself and your family?

"I wholeheartedly endorse The Mediterranean diet, a way of eating that has been in existence for thousands of years. The Miami Mediterranean Diet is based on this way of life, encouraging a balanced, well-nourished food plan including whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, lower fat intake, etc. Following Ozner's stated food plan, coupled with caloric control and daily exercise, can lead to both weight loss and a healthy heart. The recipes are easy to produce and and generate delicious meals; no one would feel deprived adhering to the stated plan." - Karen Lieberman, PhD, RD
