Pioppi
is a tiny fishing village in the south of Italy that has a cracking beach and a
sea museum. It is also the spiritual home of the Mediterranean
Diet and the inspiration for new
book The Pioppi Diet by Dr Aseem Malhotra and Donal O’Neill,
which aims to provide a simple 21-day lifestyle plan that the authors claim can
transform your health forever.
This remarkable effect is achieved
without drastically cutting calories or exercising every hour of the day. The
Pioppi plan is based around avoiding added sugar and refined carbs, and instead
building your diet around vegetables and fatty foods like oily fish and olive
oil. The plan goes beyond your diet too, with recommended movements and
stress-busting breathing exercises.
People will be talking about this
book, so make sure you’re in the know. Here’s a bluffer’s guide to the key
pillars of the 21-day Pioppi plan, as described in the book.
