By the time Debbie had started her television career in New York on The View, she began eating a standard American diet. But despite carefully limiting how much she ate, she found herself gaining weight and lacking energy. As Debbies career as an entertainment news reporter and television host on BS, MTV, E!, and other networks had her constantly on the go, she was grabbing whatever food was readily available. It was only when she returned to her traditional Greek diet that she found herself easilyand healthilyrealizing her natural weight and regaining her natural energy, stamina, and physique.
Now, in Its All Greek to Me, Debbie shares 120 of her familys traditional Greek recipes and adds her own touch to make them even healthier and easier to prepare.
After tasting Debbies dishes, such as her mouthwatering version of Spanakopita (Spinach Feta Pie), Kalamaria Kaftera (Spicy Calamari), her familys secret recipe for Baklava, and, of course, Arni kai Patates (Classic Roasted Leg of Lamb with Potatoes)youll be amazed these delicious foods are good for you. With a foreword by Dr. Michael Ozner, one of the nations leading cardiologists, the recipes in Its All Greek to Me adhere to the healthiest diet on the planet: the traditional Mediterranean Diet. Modern science is catching up to what Greeks have known for millennia: health comes from eating natural, whole-food ingredients that havent been processed or pumped full of hormones, antibiotics, or preservatives.
Let Its All Greek to Me bring your friends and family together to share in the experience of a Greek meal and way of life. Opa!

Heart disease is the leading cause of death of men and women in America and worldwide. As a board-certified cardiologist, I have dedicated my lifes work to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and its clinical manifestations of heart attack and stroke. I have seen firsthand how the highly processed, calorie-dense, and nutrient-depleted toxic American diet, along with a sedentary and stressful lifestyle, has amplified this disease in our country.
Unfortunately, our current approach to health care in America is failing. Were treating illness when it strikes but not preventing illness before it begins. The good news is there is a solution for preventing heart disease and lowering the risk of cancer and a long list of chronic degenerative diseases. In fact, youre already a step ahead of the game because youre reading this book! We simply need to look to the beautiful Mediterranean region for inspiration.
In my book The Complete Mediterranean Diet, I reference numerous medical studies that show how a Mediterranean diet, rich in delicious non-processed food from the land and the sea, is our best defense against chronic disease. In fact, this dietary pattern might just be our fountain of youth. A recent study demonstrated that chromosome telomere shortening leads to aging, and a Mediterranean diet helps to slow this process. Another study from Boston, the Nurses Health Study, found that greater adherence to a Mediterranean diet in midlife was related to nearly a 50 percent greater likelihood of surviving to seventy years or older with no major impairment in physical or mental health. Perhaps the most impressive trial was a landmark study from Spain that was recently reported in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (February 2013) comparing a Mediterranean diet to a low-fat diet. The study was stopped after 4.8 years due to a highly significant 30 percent reduction in major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, death) in those following the Mediterranean diet. As reported in the New York Times on March 2, 2013, This is a watershed moment in the field of nutrition... for the first time, researchers have shown that a diet can have an effect as powerful as drugs in preventing what really matters to patientsheart attacks, strokes, and death from cardiovascular disease.
While the medical studies are important, a Mediterranean diet and lifestyle is much more than simply clinical trialsits a way of life that has existed for thousands of years. I am reminded of a man named Dimitrios, who lived his entire life on the Greek island of Crete. When asked to share his secret of longevity upon reaching one hundred years of age, he replied, I walk every day, work in my garden, eat fresh food from the earth and sea, and I enjoy my midday meal with a glass of wine surrounded by my family and friends. Well, Dimitrios, I couldnt have said it any better.
