The Real Mediterranean Diet — What You Need to Know!
It’s not all fresh fish and vegetables!
Firstly, I am not a doctor or dietary consultant in any way.
My qualification is a little more pragmatic. More on that later.

Looking for Answers — The Pioppi Diet
I had been diagnosed with familial high cholesterol and progressing towards Type 2 Diabetes. I was reluctant to give up my lifestyle but these two diseases are silent killers. You aren’t affected … until you are!
And then it’s too late.
You’re either under the knife having your chest cut open to repair arterial damage (2018) or having a doctor tell you your eyesight is on the wane (not yet!).
Not great when you’re only 55!
I bought the Pioppi Diet (affiliate link) book by Dr Aseem Malhotra and Donal O’Neill looking for answers.
I was anti-statin with a passion, even while I was taking them. I wanted to live without prescription drugs as much as I could. Anything that gave me a clue on how to do this was worth the read. (Preventing the open heart surgery and waning eyesight would be a bonus too.)
