The Mediterranean Method with Steven Masley, MD
Steven Masley, physician, nutritionist, and chef talks with JJ today about a new skinny twist on the Mediterranean diet. Eating Mediterranean means clean, lean protein and fresh produce. But it also involves lifestyle habits, choosing to leave electronics away from meal times and share that time with family and loved ones instead. It means being more active in our day-to-day life and shopping more often to make sure we get the freshest food onto our tables. Listen in as JJ and Dr. Masley review the ways the Mediterranean diet has been updated and why it’s such a clear next-step after completing The Virgin Diet or Sugar Impact Diet.

Main Points From Today’s Episode
- The Mediterranean Diet has been called the number one diet on the planet. It incorporates many of the same ideals as The Virgin Diet and Sugar Impact Diet.
- Portion size is a factor. Some foods are fine as an appetizer but not a main course.
- Another factor is the meal time itself. We need to slow down, put away distractions and focus on the people at our tables.
