I live in Malta .... in the middle of the mediterranean sea, so more mediterranean than that .... We do not really have a history of wholegrain pasta. Our pasta is traditionally white. This is also true of the Italians. In relation to other grains, we do eat some wholegrains. The Italians, more than us, have dishes with 'farro' (spelt) while the Maltese use barley in soups and kusku (little round pasta balls, again white). We traditionally have a plant based diet but always as an accompaniment to meat and potatoes. The Italians have a primo and secondo, usually the first dish is a little pasta (50-80gr) with a simple red sauce, or white pasta with seafood, and a second dish, usually meat/fish and veggies and very few potatoes. A difference that can be seen is that the further south one goes, the more focus there is on just one dish. So a pasta dish would be a main course and is usually quite large. Baked pasta is an example. The Maltese have the tradition of soups like minestra and widow's soup. Sometimes a second dish with meat and sometimes a second dish with sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, capers, pickles and olives follows. Olive oil is prevalent. We like to dip our nice crusty bread in olive oil. Some add a little salt/pepper and balsamico. Some add also some raw garlic. As regards women's bodies, we are curvy... of course because we like our grains (have in mind sophia lauren etc). The slimmer ones, at least those whom I know, have given up on their pasta and bread.
Do your country have high cases of cancer in women, like breast cancer? Also what is the average age do people live? In United States there are high rates of heart disease and cancer.
Kno Name re breast cancer, Italy ranks higher than Malta and the US. Average age expectancy for women in Malta is 82 years, Italy 83. 30% of total deaths yearly are owed to heart disease in Malta. Frankly I doubt whether overall health is attributable to the food we ingest, though I’m sure this helps.
I am not heavy but I could stand to lose a few lbs. My problem is insomnia and prediabetes... After one week my sugar was below 90!!! I actually slept last night and only woke up 2X... I also feel great, this is working so far, I don't believe it, but I am a fast healer. At 74 I cannot believe by blood values are normal wow!!!. Thanks I will follow this with you. I am Italian and grew up with this diet... I appreciate all the info...and videos.
My doctor put me on the Mediterranean Diet because I have high tryglicerides and cholesterol. I am a little overweight and I have lost seven pounds in in fourteen days. It is delicious and easy!!
Dr. Kim, I'm here from having lost weight on low-carb/keto many times. 2020 is my Mediterranean diet year. I have lots of weight to lose. I'll be depending on you for support.

Thank you Dr Kim so much for this video and for the "shopping list!" I have looked at Atkins Diet, South Beach, Starch solution and on and on.

Wow... ok..... First off.. you are absolutely Beautiful....!!! Your husband is a lucky guy. Second I want to thank you for making this video. I hope to get a better understanding about this diet/way of eating and start as soon as possible. Thank you again ❤️
You mentioned a study about eating fish at least twice a week can increase your metabolism by 400 calories a day. Do you happen to have the reference for that study?
Question: In regards to the study about eating fish and increasing one's metabolic rate, does this remain the same if someone takes fish oil supplements? Or, is it less about the oil and fatty acids and more about the fish as a whole? I am not the biggest fish person, but am doing the Mediterranean lifestyle. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Hi, I noticed that the above video is published in 2008. Now in 2020. I'm wondering if this diet is still the no 1 diet in terms of healthy eating and effective weight loss as compared to the presently much talked about keto diet. Kindly advise pls, Dr Kim. Thanks.
Hmm, I just checked the link and it seems to be working for me--can you try again? Maybe the confirmation email is landing in your spam folder? Have you checked there?
Hi there, I want to know if Okibetonic Secrets, will really work for me? I notice lots of people keep on talking about this popular lose weight methods.

Poolover39 this is totally off topic, but I visited Malta a few years ago and I fell in love with the country!

I am Italian and we never had whole wheat pasta... I tried it and it is an insult to my pallet. :)

You mentioned a study about eating fish at least twice a week can increase your metabolism by 400 calories a day. Do you happen to have the reference for that study?
Thank you for no music, suggestion to add notes, thanks
Im from Lebanon so all of this food is very familiar to mr

Good Info ..thx
So how often are you recommended to eat grains on this Mediterranean diet? Once a day? Twice a week? Help please!!!
Hi Clare, have you started or tried the Mediterranean diet yet?
The diet goes like this. One half of your plate should be veggies and fruit, 1/4 is protein, 1/4 is grains.
thanks a billion. I learned a lot. shopping list link is broken, BTW
It worked for me
hi Kim, i wanted to take a look at the shopping list but its not available anymore
Hi there, the shopping list is in the description box now. I just got it. Hope this helps!
Where's the shopping list?
I don’t see it either. Please provide instructions where to pick this list up.

Your shopping list submission form sadly isn't working. It just keeps saying submitting, but never submits.

Doesn’t work for me either 😢
We have tons of resources (including shopping lists) in our free FB group if you'd like to check it out! Hope to see u there!
Can you ear Mediterranean style without the beans and legumes? I don’t like them at all so I cannot sustain a lifestyle that includes them.
0:19-1:26
Do you have to count calories on this Mediterranean diet?
You don’t HAVE to, but it’s still recommended if your goal is weight loss. The foods are very healthy, but it’s still easy to over eat.
Trying to reverse insulin resistance-- anyone has this issue and this diet worked?
I would like to know the answer to this to especially taking into consideration the pasta
Cut sugar out and insulin resistance diminishes.
Never got the shopping list😢
Oh no! Did you receive it yet? There can be a bit of a time lag sometimes with the delivery. Let me know :)
Yes I did but couldn’t print it

Superficial information! She mentioned a lot of studies and researches without specific references. Just wanted to look pretty on TH-cam.
What is with her pronunciations? It’s PAsta and PROduce... NOT PRAduce or PAYsta!
