It’s important to point out that weight loss is not the goal of the Mediterranean Diet, but rather a welcome side-effect.

The Mediterranean Diet encourages sharing meals with your family, as well as engaging in a good deal of physical activity. You will need to change how (and maybe even where) you shop for food, how you plan and prepare meals and even how you eat them. It’s more of a lifestyle than a diet and requires a serious commitment to have a significant effect on your health. The Mediterranean Diet is not something you stick to for a few weeks and then go back to your old ways.
