I adapted it to weight loss by limiting the calories,&#8221; explains Dr. Parker. &#8220;I tried to emulate the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/Mediterranean_Diet\/\" title=\"mediterranean diet\" target=\"_blank\">Mediterranean diet<\/a> to retain the health benefits. The result is my program, &#8216;The Advanced Mediterranean Diet&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Parker has more than 25 years experience as a physician, specializing in weight loss. He began doing his own research to better understand all of the diets, to offer his patients a better understanding of how they should be eating in order to lose weight. &#8220;The answer for me was the Mediterranean diet. There&#8217;s lots of clinical studies that support the health benefits of a Mediterranean-style diet. Specific benefits are prolonging life span, reducing rates of chronic disease, specifically certain cancers, cardiovascular disease like heart attacks and even dementia,&#8221; says Parker. Most recently, reports were shared explaining its ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/05\/mediterranean-diet-preventing-type-ii-diabetes\/\" title=\"mediterranean diet reduces risk of diabetes\" target=\"_blank\">reduce the risk of diabetes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He says that the &#8220;real key&#8221; to keeping off weight you&#8217;ve lost is by not just dieting, but changing your lifestyle. Dr. Parker says you have to change your relationship with food, and you have to exercise, even if it&#8217;s just a brisk walk most days of the week. The Advanced Mediterranean Diet fits that model.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <embed src=\"http:\/\/odeo.com\/flash\/audio_player_gray.swf\" quality=\"high\" name=\"odeo_player_gray\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" wmode=\"transparent\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" flashvars=\"type=audio&amp;id=19408523\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\" align=\"middle\" height=\"54\" width=\"322\"><\/embed><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/odeo.com\/audio\/19408523\/view\" style=\"font-size: 9px; padding-left: 110px; color: #ff3399; letter-spacing: -1px; text-decoration: none\">powered by <strong>ODEO<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/The_Advanced_Mediterranean_Diet\/\" title=\"the advanced mediterranean diet review\" target=\"_blank\">The Advanced Mediterranean Diet review<\/a>, and enjoy the complete interview with Dr. Steve Parker.
