I really like your videos and how balanced they are in regard to diet. I eat a diet chock full of fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, meats, and some dairy. I doubt I’ll ever have a flat stomach on account of genetics, but I feel way better day by day that I did prior to starting eating this way 3+ yrs ago. And I believe alcohol mostly does harm not good, because the liver has a very difficult time processing even small quantities.
Just some advice and believe me I'm no expert on diet but I work in a grocery store tilapia and caned tuna isn't my go to option for fish haddock and salmon I believe are healthier and raised more clean
@@magikyuu not generally. I know how much overall I am near per day and just try to eat mostly the same stuff to keep me there with the occasional splurge, try to get good fiber in almost all meals, balanced with protein and fat. Mostly avoid added sugar especially in coffee, allow about 200 calories per day on added sugar treats but there are seasons where I basically get no added sugar and others where I get 300-400 cals per day with it like a week surrounding Thanksgiving or Christmas. I get some fermented foods in there routinely and try to feed the gut bugs, assume it probably helps in some way.
@@elisandler6948 yeah, those are mostly farmed fish. I don’t eat a ton of filets, but when I do, I go for wild caught stuff. I really like the wild caught canned salmon at ALDI, if you don’t mind the soft bones (from cooking process), it’s pretty tasty and cheap at about $3.25 for 15oz, almost a pound, which is over 4 servings.
Looking forward to my journey with the Mediterranean diet for beginners, as I strive to become more knowledgeable about this lifestyle. Various dishes & instructions will be very appreciated.
eliminating wine and alcohol completely is key....if you want social benefits, drinking tea or coffee with your family achieves the exact same social outcome while providing staggeringly more health benefits without any of the deadly consequences of alcohol consumption
I've been size 14 UK for at least the last 5 years of my life, though as a middle sized woman: I don't see myself that fat, however. the Mediterranean diet makes me satisfied and lose weight at a slow pace.
UK size 14 sounds like an 'average' body size. There is no need to push yourself to be skinny. Those numbers anyway do not mean anything real. Your waist circumference is a more important indicator of health.
I'm starting to experiment with Greek foods to try and help with digestive issues. Love the colorful foods and aromas. I'm not a fan of wine overall except for blush. For non alcohol drinkers, I'd suggest using sparkling water and making a punch. Or I've started for summer months chilling caffeine free brewed teas. It helps.
Here in South Africa, we mostly use rooibos tea (red bush tea in English) to make iced tea. It is rich in antioxidants and caffeine-free. It has a delicate herbal taste and a pleasant reddish colour, hence the name...I like topping some cooled rooibos tea with a natural juice (one that isn't from a concentrate) or some fresh lemon juice. You can add honey or a low carb sweetener like allulose.
Your info is very helpful. I just want to know why you didn't mention Lebanon or any other country along the mediterranean in the middle east? Lots of the Veggies and Fruits are grown in Lebanon and supplies much of the middle east, coming from the Bekaa valley.
Another factor why Americans are not healthy is our stress level. Europeans enjoy life. Spend more time with their families and take naps during the day.
Stress really does a number on your health. I think a lot of people take it for granted. I developed autoimmune conditions from stress. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself all that stress I put on myself to succeed was not worth it. I really like the way people in the Mediterranean villages live. They focus on their families and live a slower lifestyle. It is how we should all live, but consumerism and capitalism has other plans.
Informative and interesting. I am interested to give this a try. Many of the food choices already are part of my daily food intake. One suggestion to make your presentation more legitimate. Use of the word altimers as opposed to Alzheimer’s….just a suggestion. A common mispronunciation. 💫
I found your vid on the Healthline website. I enjoyed all the great info, it sounds like you know your stuff. I agree with your vid about deciding what to eat. Where can I get more info on recipes or food items and I'll come up with my now dishes. Thank you!
Ciao, ho seguito il tuo video con molto interesse e lo apprezzo molto, perché alla mia tesina di inglese ho scelto di parlare della "Dieta mediterranea", argomento che abbiamo studiato molto in materia di "Scienze dell'alimentazione". Quindi ci tengo molto a sottolineare la differenza, molto importante per noi Italiani, tra OLIO D'OLIVA e OLIO EXTRAVERGINE D'OLIVA, infatti: L'OLIO EXTRAVERGINE è ottenuto da spremiture meccaniche a freddo di olive SENZA l'utilizzo di solventi chimici per chiarificare il prodotto. L'OLIO D'OLIVA invece è un olio raffinato e cioè TRATTATO CON COMPOSTI CHIMICI E SOLVENTI per chiarificare e rendere il prodotto finale meno acido e più cristallino. Per il resto brava, mi fa piacere che tu diffonda questo tipo di dieta perché è veramente importante. Buon lavoro💪❤
My one concern is all that pasta in Mediterranean diet. After I stopped taking pasta and eating pizza crusts, and dairy (cheese like ricotta, mozzarella) my sinuses completely clear up and the mucus build-up that I was constantly coughing up ceased...I could breathe again as the phelgm was clearing up. Even a little bit of dairy and cheese will trigger mucus.
Dairy has been linked to increased mucus production. It is hardly surprising that a lot of people cannot digest dairy. Something like 70% of the world population is lactose intolerant. Lactose tolerance is actually a mutation that occurred in the Northern parts of Europe which persisted in some populations. Americans seem to eat a lot more pasta per serving than they do in Italy. If you look at a typical Italian pasta meal, the pasta is more like an accent to the meal than the main focus. instead of having upwards of 100 g of pasta per person, Mediterranean people eat closer to 80 g. It sounds like a small difference, but those stack up.
I appreciate the information. I was trying to do carnivore diet but I couldn’t. Although, it’s really really good diet but I guess it’s not for me due to my eating habits and culture 🤷♀️ idk why
I was desperate to find the cause of my chronic eczema and inflammation, so I tried to do a carnivore diet for a week. I could not get through the first 24 hours. It is so bland. I need fruits and veg in my life, and it's actually healthy.
KETO diet is what I have been doing for just over 4 months now. I add low carb veg like cauliflower, broccoli, pak choi, cabbage and courgettes. Ground beef 20% fat, chicken thighs, lambs liver, pork belly, chuck steak, bacon, mackerel, sardines, eggs, cheese and butter. Weight loss from 88.6kg down to 74.2kg. BMI now smack bang in the middle of the green healthy zone, no longer pre-diabetic, blood pressure normalised, no longer on medications, visceral fat on my stomach nearly all gone, man's boobs gone and skin condition cleared up.
The carnivore diet is a fad diet. There is no scientific evidence to back any of its claims. You need fibre, and you need vitamin C. Those nutrients are not present in meat/animal byproducts. Everything in moderation. Go to a registered dietician if you need help with your diet, not youtubers.
It is a fad diet. The Mediterranean is a much better choice because it is based on the way people have been eating for thousands of years and there is modern scientific research to support diet. The beauty of the Med Diet is that it does not forbid or restrict whole food groups. You could probably lose a lot of weight eating a Whole 30 diet, but the real question is, will you be able to keep it off? I read that something like 90% of people who embark on a weight loss journey gain it all back within 5 years. If you are following a fad, 'lose weight quickly' plan, it isn't going to last and you might be negatively impacting your health.
Oxalate is present in certain foods, like spinach and almonds. If you are sensitive to oxalates (e.g you are prone to kidney stones), then you should probably look into it on the advice of your medical doctor. But this obsession with oxalates just for the sake of it, is weird. I was allergic to peanuts as a child; I am not going to say that peanuts are dangerous to everyone now. It depends on your body. So, to answer the question, the Mediterranean Diet could be low oxalate, if you wanted it to be.
I’m allergic to all nuts ,fresh fruit. But I can eat frozen fruit, I’m also allergic to dairy products. Can I still benefit from the Mediterranean diet?
@@stevenhull5025 That was not the question. Fruit in moderation is healthy, in any case. Fruits have a fibre matrix that stops the rapid digestion of sugars by the body. Unless your doctor expressly forbids you from eating fruit, there isn't anything stopping you from enjoying a bit of fruit.
You don't absolutely need to eat fruit if you do not wish to. You can eat other produce/plant foods. For example, you get more Vitamin C from a bell pepper than an orange. The price of fresh fruit has skyrocketed (at least in my country), so to be honest I hardly eat it anymore due to cost. I keep frozen berries in case I want a smoothie, to add to oats. Anyone can benefit from a Mediterranean diet. It's best to go to a registered dietician if you have food restrictions due to allergies. They can work out a meal plan for you.
“Any amount of alcohol does pose health risks.” How so? One Scripture mentions to Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach issue. 1Timothy 5: 23 Water into wine was Jesus’ first miracle. So I am going to disagree about your statement abt wine.
Throw out that seasoning packet and make your own broth. I add veggies and egg as well. The noodles aren’t that bad it’s that packet that’s full of sodium.
It can be 'ok', depending on how you use it in your meals. If you only eat the ramen noodles without anything else added, then I would say it isn't healthy. Adding some protein (maybe a boiled egg) and some veggies to the broth would make it more satisfying. Those seasoning packets often contain a massive amount of salt and MSG.
You can, if you want to. Just be mindful of portion sizes and up your fibre in other ways, like eating more veggies in the meal. Most people in the Mediterranean today do eat white grains like white bread and rice. They still have lower incidences of 'lifestyle diseases'. My mother has IBS so she cannot tolerate brown rice and brown bread. We make do. It is best to go to a registered dietician if you have concerns.
“Red wine is sometimes considered healthy for the heart because it contains antioxidants and polyphenols, which may help prevent coronary artery disease and reduce the risk of heart disease. However, there is no research that has established a cause-and-effect link between drinking alcohol and better heart health, and other factors may be at play”. You can get antioxidants in other ways. Alcohol is a carcinogen
@@DMaria216 Yep, I agree. Dark-coloured fruits and veg will provide enough antioxidants. Alcohol dependency is a weird and dangerous thing. I am not trying to be judgmental or mean, but it seems like a lot of people try to make excuses for continuing to drink alcohol, even though it's been linked to various cancers.
Mentions the Mediterranean counties except north Africa and the Middle East which is ironic considering the fact that foods like oilve oil firt originated there and then passed to Europe!
I don't know about your claim that olive oil originated in North Africa, but I do know from my university classes that Egypt was considered the bread basket of the Mediterranean. There was a lot of trade going on in that region. I think it's a bad idea to try and lay claims like that, and it is unproductive. In any case, most people seem to acknowledge that Middle Eastern and North African cuisine is also Mediterranean. Moroccan food, for example, is quite popular internationally and often featured in Med diet cookbooks.
The Mediterranean Diet is named after the Mediterranean Sea. So, it encompasses the traditional diets of the people who live along the Mediterranean Sea. The 'Biblical' part of things is kind of irrelevant...
@@lily5952 I’m just pointing out how the euro centric world, esp USA, never gives credit to the originators but instead puts them down ‘terrorists’ while giving credits to people like Greeks who borrowed everything from their neighbors. Hindu Arabic numerals originated in India, Al jabr wa (algebra) came from Persia, hummus is an Arabic word, Greek yogurt is not Greek - it’s strained yogurt that originated in the levant, baklava is from Turks (ottomans). And Jesus was not Roman or greek - he was a Mizrahi Jew. 🤣🤣
I think try it even tho it seems counterintuitive. The foods are whole, mainly alkaline and water rich foods and cause less inflammation/ bloating. Healthy fats are good, saturated fats not so much. you must move the body too.
Eat fatty ground beef, chicken thighs, chuck steak, pork belly, lambs liver, mackerel, sardines, bacon, eggs and butter plus one and a half litres of spring water every day. You will be amazed at the results.

@@stevenhull5025it does! Don't be held back by diets too much, it's good for u small amounts!

Can you eat red meat once a week?

Vegetables are known to cause inflammation and many are actually poisonous.

Most noodles are
@@DMaria216
Not really. These days you can get noodles made out of most anything. Spinach, black beans... etc etc
Bread (wholemeal or not) is made from grains with sugar added. Grains and sugar cause inflammation.
But don’t people in those countries walk everywhere? Is that the reason they’re healthy or is it really their diet?
It’s both and it is more of a Mediterranean lifestyle than diet.
@@pengster2592definitely both. A great combination
Can you incorporate intermittent fasting with this diet?

Looks awful
A big juicy steak smothered in butter with 4 fried eggs any day than a pile of nuts, seeds and lettuce leaves.
