1. Daily Logs
Successful weight loss nearly always requires a cut-back in energy (caloric) intake. In other words, you need to eat less than usual. Your chances of success at weight loss are greatly enhanced by use of a Daily Log to record your food consumption and exercise.
One of the beautiful things about the Advanced Mediterranean Diet is that it is highly customizable. For example, you have four options for caloric intake, based on your age, sex, and activity level. Page 148 of the book tells you which calorie intake level is best for you at the outset. Or you can check in the middle of the DIY Mediterranean Diet document, in the "What's Next" section.
The four Daily Logs below are in PDF format. Print them out as needed on your standard (8.5 x 11-inch) printer paper. Each page has three days of Daily Logs.

No need to carry your Advanced Mediterranean book to the store with you now. Just print out the grocery list PDF on your printer holding standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper.
I'm working on a comprehensive adaptation of the Mediterranean diet for people with type 2 diabetes. Part of that program may include a very low-carbohydrate Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet for loss of excess weight. The Diabetic Mediterranean Diet Blog has important introductory comments. -Steve Parker, M.D.
