I started reading the Mediterranean Diet The True Story of How I Lost 173 Pounds in 6 Months Eating Only Mediterranean Food by Angela Thripps and I was so sure it was going to be some typical and boring diet book telling me to eat only certain boring and bland foods and exercise until I felt as if my heart would explode. What I found instead was a brilliantly humorous, yet very direct and factual book about what one woman was able to go through with her weight gain and subsequent loss of 173 pounds. I could completely relate with how Angela went from being fit and thin to suddenly finding herself gaining weight. College, while demanding academically, can be horrible for what we eat! I too lived on the coffee and ramen noodle diet for a couple of my college years. I could probably tell you every “gourmet” way to cook ramen that there is! I didn’t actually begin gaining weight until long after my college days though. Reading this book has been so inspiring to me. If Angela can do this, then so can I! This is a great short story filled with a bit of humor, and a lot of excellent tips on what to eat and how to start shedding those pounds to a whole new you!
