5.0 out of 5 stars but reasonable in terms of time to fix and easy ingredients you might have at your house already
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

This book has been a life changer at our house. The motivation for us was Dr.'s orders for my my husband to use this diet after having 4 stents put in his heart. We have been working our way through the menus. It has two weeks worth of menus already outlined for a healthy diet. Breakfast menus outlined consist of about 4 different meals with slight variations. They are okay, nothing spectacular, but reasonable in terms of time to fix and easy ingredients you might have at your house already.
The lunch and dinner recipes take a lot more time than I normally spend and require things I did not normally cook with like capers and pine nuts, feta, goat and fresh parmesean cheese and Tahini. The recipes include lots of olive oil, garlic, onion and bell peppers of all colors. We are working throught the recipes in the outlined lunch menus and started the dinner menus. It is a process that we are growing into and requires planning to have on hand the needed ingredients. I was totally overwhelmed at the grocery store the first time. I was rescued by a worker who knew where all the ingredients were. I am marking the recipes with ratings of 1 to 5 stars. Most of them have been fours. Anything less than four I will not repeat. There have only been one or two. The book also has some dessert recipes which I have not had the time to make and many other reciipes besides the two week menu. I love the book when cooking. It stays open! The results are: I feel a sense of accomplishment for working through the challenges, we are eating well, and almost all the recipes are delicious! Oh, and it takes time to eat it... no running out the door food in hand. My husband is not a fan of healthy food but he likes the recipes (and would dare not complain seeing all the work it is to make them). I believe in time it will get easier. I am putting the recipe ingredients in an excel spread sheet to make life easier! You really have to make this a high priority to eat this way. Is it worth it the time and effort? I am hoping so. I have started exercising to a walking tape 5 days a week for 30 minutes and along with the diet I have lost 5 lbs in the last month, I am eating well & too busy cooking to fill up on junk food.

Written by an experienced Miami cardiologist, the Miami Mediterranean Diet is an excellent introduction to the lifestyle and recipes of the Mediterranean diet, as filtered through an American lens, which, nevertheless, retains all of the heart-healthy benefits of the original Mediterranean diet.

Far from being just another fad diet, The Mediteranean diet is the only diet clinically proven, for more than four decades now, to reduce the incidence of heart disease, cancer and stroke, and possibly neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Michael Ozner makes the case for moving away from the pro-inflammatory American diet towards the anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet in order to prevent atherosclerosis, heart disease and other inflammation-related ailments that are all-too common in the West.

The Miami Mediterranean diet features plenty of low-fat, high-fiber, olive-oil-rich, flavor-packed recipes made with fresh fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, lean dairy, nuts, legumes and whole grains. It will help you lose weight and change your lifestyle for the better, for once and for all. This is a diet that anyone can benefit from, whether you are seeking to lose weight, prevent diabetes, reduce allergy or arthritis symptoms, reverse heart disease, or avoid IBS symptoms. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Miami Mediterranean Diet is a Must-Read for Optimal Health
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2005

Think of this: Greek men have 90% less heart attacks than American men. Yes, I said 90% less. Statistics like this have led scientists to spend more than 20 years studying the Mediterranean diet, Dr. Ozner, a cardiologist based in Miami, summarizes the enormous benefits of this lifestyle in his book. He offers many patient tested (& patient suggested) recipes, all delicious. The basic foods in this diet are pasta, fresh vegetables, beans, whole grains, cold-water fish, nuts, olives, tomatoes, olive oil and red wine. Simple, but rarely followed in America. The Mediterranean diet is rich in benefits, inexpensive and there's an added benefit: weight loss. The book is a winner, easy to read and highly recommended.

If you're a busy mom, I don't think this book is for you. The recipes are okay, however, they are time consuming to prepare. I wouldn't recommend this book for someone on the go. It's so important to manage your weight through diet and exercise,however, some times you need a little help. Why buy a book that can't facilitate that process. I just didn't find it cost effective or time sensitive. While there were great recipes, I personally found it to be a bit of a headache preparation wise.

Our Dr. suggested that we go on this Medierranean Diet because he doesn't want us to have red meat more than twice a week. Our cholesterol is a little high. And he had a heart attack a few years ago. This book has wonderful recipes. There are alot of tastey healthy soup recipes and different ways to cook vegetables. A friend told us about this book. She bought hers on Amazon too. I would highly recommend this for someone who wants some new ideas for cooking and to stay in shape.

I like to eat a Mediterranean diet anyway, for health reasons... but I ordered this book and I can tell you that the recipes in this book are awesome! They are all Mediterranean recipes with a sort of Miami twist on them which make them a little more hip I suppose for people to try. I have tried many of them and couldn't be happier that I bought this book! Eat healthy and buy this book, you won't be sorry! It came on time and it was also in great shape!

I bought this book after watching a TV programme which looked at various diets around the world and concluded that the Mediterranean diet was the most healthy. Having a look around I found this book which focused on the healthier Mediterranean foods rather than just any of them so I didn't have to try and figure out which dishes would be best for me to eat.

Dr Ozner is (rather obviously) based in Florida, he is a cardiac surgeon who specialises in preventative treatments. he stresses that there are times when medication, stents and bypass surgery are unavoidable but also stresses that if we were to follow a healthier lifestyle then blood pressure and cholesterol could be reduced meaning many people would not need to be on medication for life or to undergo invasive surgeries as a preventative measure.

The opening chapters look at the differences between Mediterranean and Western diet and lifestyle, it also goes into detail of a number of studies that have been done into how healthy the Mediterranean diet is - a middle aged Mediterranean man is 90% less likely to have a heart attack than his Western equivalent!!

The majority of this book is taken up with recipes and you quickly become aware that there is a great variety of food that you can eat. The recipe section starts with a 14 day meal plan, reading this I sometimes wondered whether it would be possible for me to eat so much! Unlike many conventional diets this does not prohibit you from drinking tea, coffee of (best of all) red wine, it also doesn't cut out any food groups.

The recipe sections are:
Salads, soups, pizza's, omelettes, pancakes, main dishes, side dishes, wraps and sandwiches, breads, desserts, smoothies, appetisers dips and snacks and sauces marinades and dressings.
(The bread section is split into 2 parts for those with/without a bread maker.)
Each recipe also states the calories and fat content.

The main things that I noticed with this diet is that there is a LOT of garlic, it is eaten at every dinner within the 14 day meal plan and included within a lot of recipes. Also, the main source of protein is fish although there are recipes which include most other meats.

I did have 2 problems with this book but neither are enough to deflect from it's 5 star status
1 - I had to look up a number of the foods as I'd never heard of them, I'd assumed with it being a MIAMI Mediterranean diet that it wouldn't have more obscure ingredients in and maybe they're not obscure in Miami but I'd never heard of Orzo and can't remember having seen it in my local supermarket - I'll be keeping an eye out for it in future though as the recipes it's in sound lovely! There are a number of ingredients where I had this problem, there was also the fact that a number of things have different names in the UK to what they do in the USA although most of these I could figure out or Google.
2 - There are no pictures, it's a small thing but I like to be able to see an example of the dishes that I'm trying to cook.

I've only been following this diet for a week but already my partner has commented on my flatter stomach, I'll just have to wait for my next doctors appointment to see if my Blood Pressure has also decreased.

whilst it may be great for your heart and health , it's probably one of the most dullest cookery books I've ever seen , just plain text , not a colour picture in sight , I always prefer to have a picture so i know what I am aiming for ,and what hopefully my meals should look like ,
