Beyond the Mediterranean diet - Layne Lieberman

It is true! You can become slender and healthy while enjoying pasta, chocolate, cheese, bread and wine! Internationally recognised nutrition Expert Layne Lieberman, MS, RD, CDN, shows you how in this exciting book.

Now, she shares her findings with readers who face the daily temptations of processed foods loaded with fat, sugar and salt.
