The Miami Mediterranean Diet
Centuries-old Mediterranean Diet Leads to Long, Healthy Life
Cardiologist introduces Americans to the healthiest, most enjoyable weight-loss diet ever created.
Imagine washing down chilled, crunchy Caesar salad and mouth-watering lemony, garlicky chicken with a glass of red wine, followed by sweet Italian rice pudding. Does this sound like a diet?
It’s not a diet, says world-renowned cardiologist Michael Ozner, MD. It’s part of the healthy lifestyle enjoyed by Mediterranean cultures—one that emphasizes fresh whole foods enjoyed with friends and family, leisurely walks, naps, wine, and laughter.
In his newly expanded and updated bestseller, The Miami Mediterranean Diet: Lose Weight and Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease (BenBella Books, 2008), Dr. Ozner presents menu plans, over 300 recipes, stress-management tips, and maintenance strategies he has been using for 25 years to successfully treat patients who have suffered heart attacks or have significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The Mediterranean diet is the only diet with long-term clinical studies proving its health benefits. Besides preventing a host of lifestyle-related illnesses, Dr. Ozner’s Miami Mediterranean Diet results in slow-but-steady, permanent weight loss—up to 8 pounds a month, or 96 pounds a year.

The Great American Heart Hoax
An Ounce of (Low-Cost) Prevention Is Worth $100,000 of Surgical Intervention
Groundbreaking new book exposes the cardiology industry’sdirty little secret.
The bad news: Most heart surgery is unnecessary, and most surgical interventions are costly, risky, and ineffective because they don’t address the underlying cause of heart disease. The good news: Heart disease is preventable and reversible, and the best clinically proven way to cure it is both safe and low cost.
The newest book by internationally acclaimed cardiologist Michael Ozner, MD, The Great American Heart Hoax (BenBella Books, 2008), offers the first eye-opening look inside the cardiology industry’s refusal to acknowledge that the current surgical treatments for heart disease aren’t working.
Citing numerous scientific studies on the high risk and low efficacy of bypass surgery and angioplasty—70 to 90 percent of which are unnecessary and don’t prevent future heart attacks—Dr. Ozner shows readers why they should avoid these procedures. More important, he shows heart patients what to do instead.
Dr. Ozner has been practicing preventive cardiology for nearly three decades, and his noninvasive approach focusing on lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, stress reduction, and the judicious use of medications has helped thousands of heart patients avoid surgery and live long, healthy lives.
He shows readers how to follow a delicious, inexpensive diet clinically proven to prevent and reverse heart disease, as well as promote weight loss in overweight and obese Americans who are desperately seeking a sensible dietary plan. Readers also learn:
