Why this Diet is Rated #1 for Weight Loss Six Years in a Row

US News & World Report ranked the Mediterranean Diet #1 for the sixth year in a row. What is it that makes this diet so special and why are Americans finding it easier to follow than others?

What is the diet?

The Mediterranean diet is one of the most balanced and nutritious diets you can follow. The diet focuses on plenty of fibrous fruits and vegetables, legumes, healthy fats, and grains such as whole-wheat pasta, whole grain bread, brown rice, etc. 

When focusing on whole foods, there is less room for highly processed food - reducing the amount of added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. 

The diet doesn’t contain refined carbs and processed red meats, which tend to be higher in calories and lower in nutrients.

All of the healthy fiber and fats you’ll consume on the Mediterranean diet make you feel fuller for longer, which reduces the cravings for sugary and unbalanced foods - helping with weight loss. 

By following Lifesum’s Mediterranean Program, you’ll shift your meal portions to fill up on veggies, legumes, nuts and seeds, rather than nutrient-poor and energy-dense food.

The benefits of the Mediterranean Program

Studies have shown that cutting back on red meat, sugar, and processed food intake may lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and level out blood sugars to prevent or assist in controlling diabetes.

Following the Mediterranean Program through the Lifesum app helps ensure you get your daily recommended levels of vitamins and minerals to promote better physical, emotional, and mental health.

Lifesum’s Mediterranean program helps you hit your goal in a sustainable way rather than cutting out foods and imposing a restrictive (and therefore unsustainable) diet.

Testimonials from some of our customers

  • -4.7 KG IN 3 WEEKS

    I’ve learned that dieting doesn’t have to be difficult, and was really surprised I was allowed to eat tasty things like sandwiches and dressings! The food was delicious, easy to cook, and you even get a shopping list. This program was so easy to follow, and my cravings were gone after only a few days!

  • -5 KG IN 3 WEEKS

    This app is like the best thing that has happened to my health. I was shocked how my cravings were gone after only a couple of days and not wanting to eat between meals really helped. Losing 5kg in only 3 weeks is fantastic, but the best part is the health improvement. I feel remarkably much better, have more energy, better mood, can play with my kids and do more than ever.

  • -6 KG IN 6 MONTHS

    The best thing about Lifesum is the full overview you get on your nutrition. I’ve learnt how to prioritize my food which makes me even more motivated to continue my journey. I’ve tried other similar apps before, but Lifesum is really easy to use and stick to.

Easy to use, love the interface and how it has recipes and keeps me on plan. I upgraded to the full version, no regrets! I’ve tried many apps and in my opinion this one is the simplest to use and guides my choices!

This app is so helpful that I bought the premium version. In this first week of using The Energizer I have lost over 7 pounds!

Seriously, I’ve tried it all. Get this! It’s super easy, and if you want personalized help it’s CHEAP and WORTH EVERY PENNY. I’m a happier, healthier gal.
