Prof Calabrese’s diet , to stay in shape in the summer, contains the advice of the well-known professor  and dietician to fight the great heat with the dishes of the Mediterranean diet .
Here’s how to eat right and stay fit even during the summer: in a fresher version of his smart diet.

To keep it simple, I translate the advice into an easy eating scheme.

You choose whether to follow the normal calorie plan or the version to lose weight 5 kg per month.
In this case the normocaloric plan will serve as maintenance.
