Lieberman, who spent two years living in Geneva, writes that there are plenty of lessons to be learned from other countries in Europe. Switzerland, Italy and France have some of the longest average life spans in the world, as well as low rates of obesity, heart disease and other markers of ill health.

Much of Lieberman\u2019s background and advice will be familiar to anyone paying attention to the news: Americans are fat and getting fatter; we\u2019re among the fattest people in the world; we eat a diet far too high in processed foods, sugar and fat; we snack too much and generally consume far too many calories. But Lieberman\u2019s descriptions of the daily eating habits of her chosen European countries are downright inspiring: Lives marked by pleasurable outdoor exercise; a focus on local, organic foods so satisfying that they discourage overindulgence; regular leisurely sit-down meals that trump Americans\u2019 predilection for on-the-go snacking; and, of course, daily indulgences in delicate portions (a square of good dark chocolate, a scoop of gelato, a single biscotto alongside a cup of coffee). It all sounds too romantic to be true, but Lieberman has lived it and brings an infectious enthusiasm to her writing. She concludes each chapter with a list of actionable tips for a European makeover of stateside eating habits and concludes the book with 70 pages of simple recipes, heavy on the whole grains, veggies and lean meats.<\/div>\n<hr class=\"longform_hr\"><div class=\"testimonial_rotator_author_info cf-tr\">\n<p><strong>KIRKUS BOOK REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_microdata\">\n\t<div class=\"rating\">5.0<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"dtreviewed\"> 2017-01-04T10:54:56-05:00<\/div>\t<div class=\"reviewer\"> \t<div class=\"fn\"> <p><strong>KIRKUS BOOK REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>Cheese, chocolate and wine do have a place in a healthy lifestyle\u2014that\u2019s what this debut author and registered dietitian says we can learn from Europe\u2019s longest-lived populations.

In closing, I must also disclose that I am a chef and restaurants owner and I have cooked for 30 years.\t<div class=\"summary\"> <\/div>\t<div class=\"permalink\"> https:\/\/worldrd.com\/testimonials\/chef-brown\/<\/div><\/div> <!-- .testimonial_rotator_microdata -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide slide26 testimonial_rotator_slide hreview itemreviewed item  cf-tr\">\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_stars cf-tr\">\n\t<span class=\"testimonial_rotator_star testimonial_rotator_star_1\"><i class=\"fa fa-star\"><\/i><\/span>\t<span class=\"testimonial_rotator_star testimonial_rotator_star_2\"><i class=\"fa fa-star\"><\/i><\/span>\t<span class=\"testimonial_rotator_star testimonial_rotator_star_3\"><i class=\"fa fa-star\"><\/i><\/span>\t<span class=\"testimonial_rotator_star testimonial_rotator_star_4\"><i class=\"fa fa-star\"><\/i><\/span>\t<span class=\"testimonial_rotator_star testimonial_rotator_star_5\"><i class=\"fa fa-star\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"testimonial_rotator_slide_title\">Olivia Plisson, owner Movement Factory \/ Switzerland: Beyond The Mediterranean Diet (Award winning book)<\/h3>\n<div class=\"text testimonial_rotator_description\">\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_quote\">\nUne tr\u00e8s belle rencontre \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve autour du Yoga, du Flow et du Pilates<br \/>\nUne tr\u00e8s belle personne bienveillante et passionnante toujours pleine de bons conseils<br \/>\nSon livre \u2018Beyond The Mediterranean Diet\u2019 est une tr\u00e8s belle d\u00e9couverte, comme Layne.<br \/>\nNous l\u2019avons recommand\u00e9 \u00e0 tous nos clients soucieux d\u2019avoir une alimentation saine et \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e en parall\u00e8le avec leur activit\u00e9 physique<br \/>\nC\u2019est le livre de chevet de notre studio de Yoga!<br \/>\nMerci Layne, pour tout..<br \/>\nOM<\/div>\n<hr class=\"longform_hr\"><div class=\"testimonial_rotator_author_info cf-tr\">\n<p><strong>Olivia Plisson \/ Movement Factory \/ Geneva<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_microdata\">\n\t<div class=\"rating\">5.0<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"dtreviewed\"> 2017-01-11T10:22:20-05:00<\/div>\t<div class=\"reviewer\"> \t<div class=\"fn\"> <p><strong>Olivia Plisson \/ Movement Factory \/ Geneva<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>Une tr\u00e8s belle rencontre \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve autour du Yoga, du Flow et du Pilates Une tr\u00e8s belle personne bienveillante et passionnante toujours pleine de bons conseils Son livre \u2018Beyond The Mediterranean Diet\u2019 est une tr\u00e8s belle d\u00e9couverte, comme Layne.

Layne Lieberman explores the diets of three countries \u2013 Switzerland, France and Italy \u2013 to explore the interconnection between the longevity rates enjoyed in these countries with their diets and healthier lifestyles all in an effort to teach us about lowering high cholesterol rates and obesity that plague us in the United States.

There are times when I question how we might stick to this and then she reminds of the benefits and I feel inspired again. She also realizes that we are human with emotional ties to food.

My job took over my life and I didn't have any time to go to gym and didn't have proper guidance for a diet that will maintain my body. Within a year I went from size 0 to 6 and from 110lbs to 135lbs. It didn't just stop there though, about 3 years ago I started infertility treatment. I gained more weight after all the hormone treatments and went to a size 8 and was up to 147lbs. I felt like I was trapped in my own body and couldn't do anything about it. Then I joined gym and hired a personal trainer and I lost like 8-9lbs and then I stopped losing weight, I guess cause I didn't have proper nutrition I needed. So I stopped going to gym and I stayed at 137lbs. After few months I started noticing that I was out of breath all the time, feeling lazy and sluggish most of the time. I can say there were times I hated to look at myself in the mirror. None of my clothes fit me and I felt ugly. I tried so many diet plans and felt like I was starving myself and didn't like the taste of anything I ate. Also, being Indian most of the diet plans out there don't have any guidance on Indian ethnic foods, so basically you just do the guesswork and follow the plan. Which obviously never worked cause how do I know if I am calculating the nutrition right or not. About 6 months ago I went to get my regular checkup and came back borderline cholesterol and BMI above normal. For 30 years of age and no kids I felt like that's not good and I need to do something in order to be healthy for myself and my family.<\/p><br \/>\nThen one of my very good friend referred me to Layne Lieberman, RD. She has been amazing and a blessing to me who changed my life completely. Layne worked with me and made a special meal plan that was just for me based on my needs. She took my doctors reports and spent few days in making this plan. This plan basically helped me realize how unhealthy I was. She included Indian foods which I basically eat most of the time and taught me how to cook the same dishes healthy way. I also learned to read labels, make better food choices, food shopping. She made me understand that this is not a diet but its a way of lifestyle. I have lost about 18lbs and I'm down to size 2. This has not happened to me in past 7 years and this is huge for me. Thanks to Layne Lieberman. She stays on top of everything and follows up with me every month with scheduled phone calls and goes over everything to see how I am doing and follows up regularly. She is always available whenever I have any question to ask by emails and she gets back to me within few hours.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis will be my first New Years where my resolution won't have anything to do with my weight. I feel like registered dietitians have knowledge and are well trained to counsel individuals based on their needs. They are truly the food, nutrition and the diet experts! \"<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal aligncenter wp-image-7584 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-1-780x780.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n-Happy Client<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_microdata\">\n\t<div class=\"rating\">5.0<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"dtreviewed\"> 2016-12-19T01:43:57-05:00<\/div>\t<div class=\"reviewer\"> \t<div class=\"fn\"> <\/div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/worldrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/zee-20230329-203720-150x150.jpg\" class=\"photo wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t<\/div>\"Dear Layne, My weight gain started like 7 years ago after finishing my college and starting a job.

Since this time we have gone to the Joslin Center in Boston to learn Carb Counting. Now that Joe has Stage Kidney Disease we have been in search of a Renal Dietician and have had no real success. We even looked for you but could not find you. It appears that you are continuing on your successful path in your field, but, if I am assuming correctly, you are not doing Nutritional Counseling on a one to one basis. Perhaps I am wrong, but, if I am not I am hoping that you can recommend a person in Nassau County who has a concentration in all of the ins and outs of the Renal Diet restricitons. We now count carbs, potassium units, sodium and phosphate levels. It is a monumental job for me to research each meal, not to mention navigating restaurant food. We have seen several Nutritionists, but none have done for us what you did when you gave Joe meal suggestions and the correct way to get enough food to satisfy his appetite. In our books we have been searching for your approach with someone else, with no success. So happy to have found you and would look forward to discussing this with you. So happy to see your new book.

I haven't had beef, butter and high-fat cheese \u00a0in two months. But I am enjoying the food that I eat, and feel satisfied at the end of every meal. \u00a0I look forward to cooking new recipes and have started cooking for friends.

I really enjoyed every member of the group and really thought the group was a good mix of very interesting people. One of my favorite parts of the program was meeting other dietitian and networking. I learned so much about what other dietitian were doing in other parts of the United States. So often we work in our own bubbles. I think having 16 people was a great number.

The tour was full culture about the Puglia region and very hands on learning. Truly a trip of a lifetime. When I was doing the survey it was hard for me to pick something I would change. It was the hardest part of the survey to answer. I really enjoyed every member of the group and really thought the group was a good mix of very interesting people. One of my favorite parts of the program was meeting other dietitian and networking. I learned so much about what other dietitian were doing in other parts of the United States. So often we work in our own bubbles. I think having 16 people was a great number. I really hope to go on another trip with World RD in the future and have told all of\u00a0 my co workers about the wonderful experience I had. I very much miss the Mediterranean weather.

Layne is a wealth of information in all things nutrition, I highly recommend reading her book before AND after the trip to fully immerse yourself! Maria had more information than a library regarding all things cultural and historical. She painted a beautiful picture of what life was like everywhere we went.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone we met along the way -<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So hospitable, so friendly, and<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learned so much from each and every one of them<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying at the Masseria was a real life fairytale. It had our entire group completely speechless. Staying here was an emotional experience and I hope to return one day. When I close my eyes, this is my happy place now!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention, this was the most beautiful breakfast spread I have ever seen in my life, and probably will ever see. All of the ingredients were as fresh as could be, nutritious, everything was very clean, and we were able to fuel up before a full day of exploring and learning!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was also such a fun place to explore! I loved the little farm which was full of happy animals that will come up to greet you!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I already miss waking up to the sounds of the rooster and donkeys in the morning!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puglia as a region was so perfect. I fell head over heels in love for Puglia. This is such a special place and I am so happy that I was able to do this trip to see and experience this lovely destination.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I learned so much from this area and in terms of the Mediterranean lifestyle experience here.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layne knew this area and lifestyle like the back of her hand and prepped us well for the information that we then received from locals!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I learned so much about the Mediterranean lifestyle from everyone we came across throughout this trip.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was also nice talking with Dr. Giuseppe about the biodiversity in this region.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layne curated an extremely beautiful trip. This was so well organized, we were able to fit so much into a week that I felt we were there for a month (in the best way possible)! For how much we got in, everything went seamlessly and we made the most out of our time!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maria, our guide, brought us grapes to try from her family\u2019s farm which was so thoughtful and she went above and beyond to give us an educational and personal experience.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicola, our driver, may be the safest driver in Italy. Somehow he manages to maneuver our bus without getting honked once - which is just unheard (keep in mind just outside my window at the first hotel I think I saw a near accident every time I looked out the window).<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chiara was an amazing chef, provided us with detailed and helpful information, and she was very engaging and entertaining!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chef Ana Maria was such a sweetheart and we cooked such a delicious meal in an ethereal setting. I will definitely be utilizing and sharing what I learned with my family and friends.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I definitely recommend coming in a day early because I ran into a speed bump in Rome and it sounds like others did as well - but it wasn\u2019t an issue since I came early.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I enjoyed everything about the trip. The food, meals, cooking classes, and nutrition education. The people Layne took us to meet had authentic tips and information that had been passed down generation to generation. And Layne is a wealth of information and I felt like I was learning by simply standing next to her.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The destinations and the places we stayed left me absolutely speechless. This trip was curated beautifully and was such an enriching and special experience.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The people, everyone truly became la famiglia almost immediately. It almost felt like a reunion rather than an introduction. I have made connections that I cherish and will maintain forever.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I learned a wealth of new information from making delicious pasta from scratch, creating beautiful pasta of all shapes and sizes, paired with informative nutritional details, to the rich culture and history of the area!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layne has curated an incredibly special and enriching experience that she has so graciously shared with us!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She is a wealth of information &amp; such a light! I learned so much from her and from the people and places she introduced us to. Our tour guide, Maria, was also fantastic. She painted a beautiful picture of the history that took place in the areas we explored.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was so much fun being surrounded by people who are equally as passionate about nutrition, travel, culture, and food! I made some life-long connections here with people who inspire me very much.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, everything was planned to a T! It felt like we were there for a month because we were able to make the most of every moment. Travel &amp; transport was seamless &amp; easy with our driver, Nicola. He took great care of us and made sure we made it from place to place safe and sound!<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was a once in a lifetime and life changing experience for me that I will cherish forever. It has been so special bringing this experience home and sharing the stories and food with loved ones.<\/p><br \/>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will absolutely share this information with as many people as I can reach!

I love going to less touristy places and want unique and authentic experiences that I can remember forever. Puglia offered more than I ever could have imagined.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI have never been to a UNESCO site before (I don\u2019t think) and now I have been to two. I am in awe of all of the olive trees and the diverse landscapes of Puglia. I adore that the nonnas are making pasta in the streets and are faster than machines. I love that the tradition still lives and feel so humbled that I was able to not only witness the nonnas, but to experience Old Bari and be part of their local street life.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe cooking classes were exceptional and well organized! The chefs in Italy work magic in very small spaces! Each experience was wonderful and deeply appreciated! The foods that we sampled were heart healthy and many were high fiber, high nutrient content, etc.\u00a0 Delicious and healthy\u2014my kind of meals.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHands down staying at the <em>masseria <\/em>was my FAVORITE accommodation because of the charm and character- from the location and room d\u00e9cor to the food.\u00a0 The room space and d\u00e9cor were stunning, unique and comfortable. The spacious location was lovely, open and beautiful.\u00a0 The food here was my favorite for breakfast- the roasted tomatoes, cheese, prosciutto and hard-boiled eggs with capers. Simple and so very satisfying.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOur driver, Antonio was amazing! \u00a0What can I say?\u00a0 Those ties!!!!\u00a0 Magnificent. Antonio has a pleasant personality and is very respectful and safe. Grazie for having the water available to us at all time\u2014and for finding my wallet!\u00a0 Our guides, Antonella and Sandro were so knowledgeable and translated exceptionally well. Their English is so much better than my own.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe meticulous care that was taken to plan, prepare and present the meals was evident.\u00a0The food quality was exceptional and fresh; and the flavors were crafted together so artfully. I was exposed to some combinations of foods that I had not thought of putting together.\u00a0Especially the beans\u2026the fava bean puree was one of my favorite dishes.\u00a0 I never got tired of homemade pasta and beans, and bread and cheeses, etc.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe transfers to and from the airport were convenient, quick and easy.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI enjoyed reviewing the itinerary prior to the trip and felt that it was detailed and thorough. I read it over several times before traveling to Italy and was excited and inspired every time I read it. I knew I was making the right decision in choosing to take this trip because the details of the trip were well thought out and laid out. Each venue was described meticulously. I know there were a few changes to the itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances and I felt that it was explained and handled professionally and meticulously as well.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nEvery part of the itinerary was fabulous, however I was so touched by being able to go to Lisa\u2019s house! We had a private, intimate, local, homemade dinner shared with our group and I felt so lucky, privileged, grateful, humbled, etc! \u00a0And even meeting Sandro\u2019s wife and baby was very special to me. I truly felt like I was part of an amazing family in Puglia. I loved that everywhere we went in Puglia the people made us feel welcomed, appreciated, and valued.\u00a0We were so blessed to have those experiences as most tourists never have the opportunities that we had.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMy two top favorite foods were the ravioli with turnip greens on the last evening and the orecchiette with pumpkin, scamorza, and capicola at Altemura Winery. The potato flan and the pureed fava beans with chicory that Anna Maria made were delicious as well. The DiGesu bread was amazing! Best bread EVER!\u00a0 I enjoyed all of the gelato that I ate, too!\u00a0 Perhaps Sandro can teach us how to make gelato next time?<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAt Lisa\u2019s House I loved the beans and greens and the eggplant.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn all honesty I enjoyed everything that I ate in Puglia. I am glad that I tasted everything and it was all so delicious.\u00a0 I think I am good on octopus now for awhile. I like it, but only in small amounts. I have tried it a few times, but prefer the squid and cuttlefish much better.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI learned how to make three easy homemade pasta shapes by hand. I had never made foccacia before and now know how to make that as well. I loved watching the mozzarella cheese being made so easily. You can tell that all of the chefs that taught us literally perform labors of love everyday. And they make it look so easy.\u00a0 I learned about the organic farming of wheat, cheese, olives, and wine production.\u00a0 I enjoyed learning about the production side of things and then putting it to the plate. This really made a difference to me as I always want to know where my food comes from, how it was produced and how it was prepared.\u00a0 I feel that all of our food in America is processed in a plant and packaged and eaten right out of the bag.\u00a0 It really is sad in so many ways... but understandable to a certain degree.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI learned about the towns like Trulli Houses\/Alberobello, Ostuni, Lecce, Gallipoli. Visiting Matera and Alberobello (Trulli houses) the UNESCO sites was exciting as I had never been to an UNESCO site prior to this trip.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI learned about local foods grown in Puglia such as cherries, almonds, olives, Verdeca (white) and Susumaniello (red) grapes, figs, etc.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe entire experience was just amazing and inspiring in so many ways-both professionally and personally. I am curious as to how the trip would have been with more RD\u2019s as opposed to being comprised mostly of significant others\/friends. The week may have had a different vibe to it, but I truly adored everyone that went on the trip. They were a special group and so generous and welcoming as was everyone that we met in Puglia.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI am proud of our Puglia group! I loved Mama Mia, Ethelina, Katarina, Lucia, Roberto, Eduardo, etc. and I ADORE my Italian name of Fiore!!!! Giving us all Italian names was such a nice little touch on the trip.\"<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_author_info cf-tr\">\n<p>Heather Bessee, MS, RDN<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial_rotator_microdata\">\n\t<div class=\"rating\">5.0<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"dtreviewed\"> 2020-01-26T22:49:36-05:00<\/div>\t<div class=\"reviewer\"> \t<div class=\"fn\"> <p>Heather Bessee, MS, RDN<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\"I ADORE my Italian name of Fiore!!!!

I don\u2019t think there is any better way to truly see, touch, feel, and taste food.\u00a0 I feel as if this helps me respect and appreciate food and to combine simple, fresh ingredients to cook. I\u2019ve learned that by experiencing the culture of the people who live and work in the areas I have visited, my eyes and mind are open to a new perspective.
