“Eat chocolate, drink wine, dine on pasta, enjoy your food: it's the delightful, decadent diet that delivers real weight loss results!”


It’s the age-old dilemma. Finding a diet that is easy to follow--with food you’ll actually enjoy--that provides maximum and immediate healthful benefits. You want to lose weight. You want food that is wholly tasteful and easy to prepare. And you want to feel the results of your program when you wake up every day.

Through his many visits to the exotic, sensual playground of Saint-Tropez, Apostolos Pappas, Ph.D., was inspired to develop The Saint-Tropez Diet, a complete eight-week meal plan with delicious and easy-to-make French dishes from Marie-Annick Courtier and chefs from some of the most celebrated restaurants on the Cote d’Azur.

In The Saint-Tropez Diet, Dr. Pappas reveals the four simple principles to unlock your fat-burning receptors so that you can lose weight quickly, fight chronic diseases, and erase years of premature aging:

·Eat more foods containing large amounts of healthy unsaturated fats, especially omega-3 essential fatty acids.
·Eat foods rich in vitamin A together with foods containing omega-3 essential fatty acids.
·Eliminate foods with unhealthy ratios of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids.
·Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to boost your consumption of vital nutraceuticals with antioxidant activity.

The Saint-Tropez Diet is a mouth-watering, pleasure-loving, and life-enhancing eating plan that will teach you to cook and eat and love food. And the results? Steady and sensible weight loss, a noticeable increase in your energy levels, and the acquisition of powerful biological immunity boosters to ward off chronic diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and a host of heart-related disorders.

Good Bye Diets, Hello Bon-Vive!
I hate diets. I always did. Its the notion that you have to restrict yourself for 30,60, or 90 days to achieve SPECTACULAR results for the beach, or for the new date, or for your doctor who screams for your cholesterol levels. Diets DONT WORK, as by definition after the restriction timeline is gone, you go back to your good, old habits ("I deserve this candy bar, I ve been on diet for 90 days!"). Yes, I have read and been on Atkins, South Beach, North Pole, West Texas and all the other diets, returning always to...my diet!

And here is Dr Papas with a WHOLE NEW CONCEPT: change your life. Live longer. Respect your body. Take a breadth and smell the spinach, the fish, the carrots you are about to eat! Introduce respect for your food as it ultimately becomes you. Its a whole new attitude for our busy life, which today is fed by dispensed, plastic snacks and trans-fatty cookies. And Dr Papas goes even further, suggesting its good to eat Fats! Fats? Yes, I learned something here: there are bad fats and good, oily fats. And figure this one out: the more of these wonder omega-3 fats you eat, the better you function and look, and the less you weigh! Ha!

I loved reading this book. It is very personal, like a life story: it is like Dr Papas invites you for a personal chat, talking to you about his food science and his personal experiences alongside the Mediterranee. And gradually he is revealing why people in France eat better, live longer and look slimmer. Its all about the fresh food, the fish, the salads, the wine and ...the chocolate! (now, hey y'all, Vive La France!)

Dont be fooled by the title: This is not a 90-day recipe for looking better at the lovely resort of St Tropez. This is a warm, easy introduction to a different quality of life we all deserve and should consider for the rest of our lives.

Thank you Dr Papas!

This diet combines two nutrients in every meal, omega-3 and foods rich in beta carotene.
Some of the recipes have two parts like "Marinated grilled vegetables", The marinade part for this recipe could be used also as a salad dressing.
Also the recipes are not complicated,they are simple, but different.
