Maggie and Mark are embarking on weight loss programs that include dietary changes and increased physical activity but have differing opinions on which is the best diet plan to use. Maggie chooses the 1,500 kcalorie/day Mediterranean Diet after reading about the health benefits conveyed by this diet. Mark is not fond of most vegetables and thinks that carbohydrate is the nutrient that causes weight gain and health issues. He believes that the Atkins 40 diet is a good fit for him because he can eat the “man food” he loves. Following is a one-day menu for Maggie and Mark.
