I wrote this book because I want to spread the word to as many people as I can that this diet works. I have witnessed that many times, but the best way to prove me right is to try it for yourself. If you are feeling doubt about changing your diet or giving up certain foods, take it one step at a time. Progress is not a straight line and no one could turn their habits around with just a day or two. It will take you a while to make these new habits.

Start with breakfast, for example, and hold yourself to following the Mediterranean diet for only your breakfasts for a week. This way, you are starting with a simple, achievable goal and making it a habit
