Perpendicular diets means that they intersect rather than run parallel. Mediterranean is regional & keto is macros, they INTERSECT at Mediterranean Keto. Full explanation of this in the into to Mediterranean Keto video here 👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/fqbbM7kzp0U/w-d-xo.html
Did you see on Joe Rogan when Paul Stamets told Joe that there is something wrong with Portabellas . He couldnt say how cause his life would be in danger.. said they have to be cooked thoroughly but the #1 mycologist in world says do not eat.. you dont eat.. quick yt search will find a clip of it...???
@@Adam-ff3me Rice is carbs, so probably not. Let's hope Thomas responds. I'm guessing the less refined it is, the better it will be, but you would still need fat & protein to go with it. I'd avoid it and other grains & tubers (like potatoes as they transform to sugars pretty quickly in the body), at least when first starting a Keto diet.
@@qdup17 That makes little sense. Why would revealing any information about portabello mushrooms cause anyone or any organization to want to hurt or kill anyone? Sounds fishy & too conspiracy theory oriented. If you find a link please post it for us. Thanks!
Yes. I, for one, would very much appreciate at least 1-3 recipes per week. Even if you just linked to them on your website. But a meal preparation video once a week or so would, I think, also help. Maybe you could make it a series, then once you have 10-30+ of them you could create a recipe playlist and just link to that in future videos when appropriate. :)
This is how you know that Thomas is legit. Instead of writing a book that he could have sold or hosting a new online program that you have to pay monthly to be a part of he puts it all out here for free to anyone that wants it. Thank you for your service to the community.
Failed on Carnivore. Did 3 weeks and felt terrible. Keto feels dirty. Think this is just the thing I need. Bless you, will start today ❤ Currently 170 and was always max 130. Putting my no here for accountability ❤❤
You forgot the most important part of what makes a Mediterranean diet....well, mediterranean: the Herbs! Oregano, marjoram, thyme, sage, rosemary etc. They are what give the dishes flavor and keep you healthy! 🙂
@@JN-gh4hm Plant a lot of your favourite herbs in the spring. Use them fresh over the summer and fall and dry the excess harvest for use over the winter. You could make up small little parcels and freeze them. I have done this and it works okay, but I usually lose the packets in the freezer and only find them a year and a half later. Oh, and if you want a nice Italian herb blend, go to: Taste of Home for the herbs and ratios.
Yes! I have been saying I am doing a "ketoesque" eating plan because I could not/would not abandon complex whole foods and vegetables, not berries. The long-term effects of pure keto are NOT good, including kidney stones, got health and you Things knows far more details on that I am SURE. So this, THIS, is the happy answer. Thank you for this mashup of plans, Thomas. I will be earnestly awaiting all you have to offer on the science of how and why keto-mediterranean is great for the body, and also lots of recipes (there's a book in this topic, I'm sure) and meal plans such as this video. Thank you for this!
One thing I still enjoy that my mother would do is steam a whole artichoke and serve it on a plate alongside a dish of EVOO with some crushed garlic and maybe some basil. You pull off the leaves, dip them in the oil, and then basically use your teeth to strip the meat off the leaf. And then you discard the leaf. Then once all the leaves are gone, you eat the heart. Some of her great grandparents actually came from Palermo.
I've recently replaced artichoke with heart if palm in salads they have a similar taste but heart of palm has better nutrition value. I like homemade vinegrette
Speaking of a Mediterranean diet, I'm Sicilian on my mother's side and my father's side is from Bodi Italy. There's a popular dish from Sicily and Bodi and that is pasta with tuna fish that has capers, garlic, broccoli rabe, pine nuts and sun dried tomatoes. It's the most flavorful pasta dish I ever had.
My doctor wanted me to eat this type of Keto diet. My complete physical and labs came back in the normal range. However, my triglycerides were a little above the normal.
More on this for women please - this is much much closer to what I already follow - thank you for making this Keto friendly!! Am doing IF and medi-Keto- following your guidance on doing this for women!! Love your channel 💕💕
This was so very clear cut and understanding of what the foods bring to our bodies. I love that you give a meal plan of two options. I have been doing Keto for a few years and lost 16 lbs, but Its nice to have a visual of what else I can incorporate into my meal plans. Thank you for all that you have done for the health community.
Because it's just keto and he's trying to re brand it to become known as the Mediterranean keto guy. Its just being selective with your keto items, its no different than adding pasta in to your average american diet and calling it an Italian carb based diet lol.
Hi Thomas! I never leave comments but wanna say a couple things: first, THANK YOU for paying attention to the effect of keto/fasting on women and coalescing that research for us in an understandable way. I hope you will continue to do videos like that. Second, I grew up b/w Morocco/Italy and ate "mediterranean" diet all my life! I wanna let you know that you overlooked the vitally important role of HERBS & SPICES! Meals from these regions of the world are also looked at synergistically, and not in their component parts. For example, a meal is based around how the vegetables/proteins/fats and herbs/spices will work together in the dish in terms of flavoring...anyway I love ur work and was so excited for this video! But just wanted to add this tidbit in.
Thank you so much for this! I've fallen off keto after about 2 years because I'm sick to death of heavy eggs, oil and avocado being the focus in so many dishes, but this menu looks fresh and light and amazing! Thanks for putting so much work into it for us :) and yes please more recipes in this style!
I live in Isreal. One of our best fats is Tahini. Best keto bread based on Tahini easy to make: Warm the oven to 180Celsius, 4 eggs, 6 Tablespoons Tahini, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1/3 cup flaxseeds, 1/3 cup sunflour seeds, add last- 1 teaspoon baking Soda. put all in a bowl stir a bit. to the oven for 30min...
Great selection of food, being Greek myself I really enjoyed watching Mediterranean Meal Plan that make some sense. Just one thing. I see you mention avocados a lot. In Greece and I bet in Italy and Spain, avocado is not something we have. It is actually imported and quite expensive (sometimes one avocado is like 3 dollars). Giving the fact that here it's like a shame to buy one or two fruits and its price of course, we rarely use this fruit. It's more of a lifestyle choice these days. So, instead we use olive oil. We put olive oil EVERYWHERE. And honestly I think is enough for our daily fat intake. Of course if in the states olive oil is very expensive and avocado very cheap, it's different. Anyway, I wanted to mention that avocado is not a medi choice. Oh. An something else. In Greece in particular we eat lots of meat. And, I can tell, grilled pork stake with lots of lemon juice on it (well done) is our favorite. Very fatty, not the healthiest thing but we love it dearly.
I'm sure you can find places online to buy avocado seeds or sprouts. Sounds like your climate would be perfect for growing them. Ask a local farmer if they might be interested in a crop that would make great money in Greece.
Thank you so much for providing us with clear guidelines and a plan for the Mediterranean Keto Diet. So grateful that you are providing this at no cost and really do care about people health. Would absolutely love to see more recipes!!! And again thank you x
Whoa Thomas, just wanted to say huge thank you for all the hard work and amazing content you put out there for free!! I have been a very old subscriber since 2015 and there hasn’t been a single video so far I did not enjoyed or found benefeicial to implement in my daily lifestyle. All of my knowledge I owe to you and you inspire and motivate me everyday to take care of my health and make better decisions for my wellbeing as well! Hope you keep posting such amazing videos in future and also hope more people appreciate how truly great this channel is! 🙏🏼😊
Great video. But ... as someone who makes their own hummus .... please do NOT dilute with mayonnaise. Honestly, there are much better options. Dilute with olive oil. Or lemon juice and olive oil. Or just some water. But the avocado sounds delicious too. Just not mayonnaise.
I'd love to see more med keto recipes too! Thank you for everything! You've taught me so much! I don't think I could've started this keto journey without all your videos! ❤
It looks like this Fitini is a modern evolution of the traditional Fitini which used to be made just from clarified butter or just from purified extra virgin olive oil.
I’m sure you can find the original Fitini (butter or olive oil) somewhere. My mother used to add it to spaghetti like butter and with a little black pepper with some grated hard cheese only. Nowadays most Greeks don’t use it, but for the die-hard Greeks who are insistent traditionalists, a fake crappy version is made which doesn’t cost much.
No. You misunderstand. Olive oil Fitini was made purely from olive oil and nothing else. Nowadays Greeks have stopped using Fitini except for just a few. Making the traditional Fitini, either butter or olive oil, was very expensive and would be astronomically expensive for just a few old folks. I don't know where to get traditional Fitini nowadays, but if it were made, it would have an international market. Instead.now, a substitute Fitini is made to cater for those few die-hards who insist on cooking with "Fitini". It looks smells and tastes similar, but is made from very different ingredients.
tbh i tried keto diet mostly because i want to lose weight, i just want to share my experience with it, its really actually hard to sustain plus i do experience very excruciating headache thats why i stopped it and started agoge diet. i did lose weight without all those bad things and i have never been happier , keto, Mediterranean or whatever it is, maybe its never for me
I just finished dinner: one small whole Mozzarella cheese, cucumber, 5 medium Cherry tomatoes, bunch of green Olives, black pepper, salt, juice of half a lemon and a generous amount of virgin olive oil extra vierge. Had it without meat of fish but next time will add grilled Sardines too it. Yummy!
Thanks Thomas. I was looking forward to this after your first video about Mediterannean Keto. I'm from The Bahamas and this is giving me some ideas about how to adapt locally grown foods. You can also say there is a lot of "perpendicular" aspects to what's available in tropical regions also. We have a lot of fresh fish here and generally we buy straight from the fisherman at the dock and not so much from the grocery story. Snapper, Mahi, Bonito Tuna, Mackerel etc. Really wonderful video.
I am interested in hearing more about keto/med. Thanks for this one! I started on KETO after a hospitalization from a fall. I suffered a concussion and was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My doctor, nutritionist and health coach at the health clinic I go to all highly advised against KETO, so I promised them I would use it as a intervention and would then transition to a Mediterranean diet. Within three months of KETO my A1c was in normal range and my doctor thought I had been taking meds though I had not. I also believe that KETO with the high fat was very helpful for my brain recovery. More about KETO/Mediterranean diet is exactly what I have been looking for.
Bravo Thomas this is what I practice minus the steak I eat cod salmon shrimp tuna and sometimes chicken for meat. But i do intermittent fasting best diet ever. Never get board and I've lost 232 lb since 11/2017.
I have been looking for a healthy Keto plan that I could really feel good about for YEARS! I can't thank you enough for these common sense guidelines that I can implement easily TODAY! God bless you, sir!!
zucchini noodles with lean beef(cooked in avocado oil, with the leftover avocado oil used to cook the meat over the zucchini noodles) with a bit of lemon juice squeezed onto everything, add salt and pepper to taste. I haven't tried it but it sounds good.
I struggled with keto too much, I just felt exhausted. We are supposed to enjoy the food we eat and with keto that's close to impossible. That's why I tried the Agoge diet and it works great.
Thank you for this. Your videos have been my preferred source of information since starting keto 3 months ago. I love that you're focusing on the Mediterranean diet.
Thomas this is my favorite video yet. The meal plan is awesome with the different options. This is definitely something I could follow and meal prep with. I am so excited to incorporate this into my lifestyle. Love your videos, I love this you have the science behind it too. The whiteboards are great so I can pause and take notes in my keto journal. Thank you for sharing your story and this great video
I have been to the island of Sardinia and they do eat lots of pasture-raised red meats and pork along with pasture raised eggs lots of vegetables olives olive oil very well spiced and very delicious. And they do eat alot of farm churned butter.
I needed this! Thank you, Thomas! I've mentally hit a wall with keto lately. This Medi-Keto approach works for me & it's everything I really like. Again, thank you!
Thomas thank you so much I'm actually underweight because of keto & IF being SO effective 😊 This change up will help me a lot. Delicious options for my fats 💜
Super valuable video! More meal options and small tips like the asparagus, chia pudding etc is exactly the content I’m looking for. Combos of keto ingredients and where to “cheat” in moderation to make the diet practical is super valuable content that I search for. (Your efficient how/why explanations on each piece puts your video at the top of my list). I wouldn’t make boring cooking videos that TH-cam is flooded with; but telling us what ingredients to put together to hit macros, tasty meal options because it is hard to be creative etc and then quickly showing the how like the asparagus in this video is killer content.
Thomas thank you so much for this information it's great! I would love to see more videos on recipes and diet but also a Mediterranean shopping haul. You do such an awesome job and thank you for the information and thank you for making it free.
I got COVID in September...which left me afflicted with A-Fib. I'm seeing an electrophysiologist, and on meds, but I'd like to avoid an ablation. According to everything I'm reading, the Mediterranean Diet is what is recommended for A-Fib and other arrhythmias, but I know the Keto diet works best for my body...that and intermittent fasting...and et voila...you incorporate all of them into this plan. My goal is to drop 10% of my body weight...which is what they say will get rid of the A-Fib. What do I have to lose by trying? This is driving me crazy because I've always been healthy.
Your work is higly appreciated we are loaded with knowledge that you have giving us about keto diet in sientific way also so please start cooking recipes cause we need more guiedance about that thx
I would love more recipes. I have been working on learning what my body responses too. I did IF and keto for about 8 months and watched my weight slowly come off. I had better sleep, reduced inflammation. Then COVID hit, I am a health care worker in a nursing home. The stress hit me hard and I gained all the weight back quickly. Now my body is premenopausal, stressed out, and I also had a mild case of COVID. For a month. I am recovering now ready to start focusing on my health again. I really want to support my immune system more. Figure out hormones and hopefully lose weight.
This is awesome! 😍 Thank you so much! I realized that I eat well but too much... 😅 I would love to see more videos on this topic, more meal suggestions. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video, Thomas! I’ve been waiting for it since the first video on medi-keto 🙂 I would LOVE to see more recipes/cooking/ideas regarding this “version” of keto!
Of course I'm aware that you made this video only because I asked for it, but I want to thank you also in the name of all the others who will profit from it. 😁 But seriously, this is what I was waiting for. Another great video in your collection. It's a shame I don't seem to be able to tag you in Facebook posts. I share your videos all the time. Never mind. I'm extremely grateful for all the work you do. 👍🏼😉
I am so thankful for all these videos. I often pause them and google search certain things to get a full understanding. I would DEFINITELY love to see some recipes!
Thanks for the ideas! Recipes would be great too. My husband and I eat asparagus a lot (maybe 5x/wk), but I could never eat a whole bowl full of it. I am going to start sprinkling it with the nutritional yeast, as I have struggled to know what to do with the stuff. I appreciate your videos. Keto has been life changing for us. We are now off all diabetes meds and the weight continues to come off.
Totally agree this is the healthiest diet you can eat. The problem is it’s so expensive. People wonder why so much junk food is consumed in the US, it’s because it’s so cheap, people can’t afford to feed their families anymore. I have tried very hard to source quality meats and fish, if they are double sometimes triple the price of most average cuts, I can’t afford it. With hamburger is four dollars a pound and grass fed grass finished hamburger is nine dollars a pound, I just can’t justify the price difference. One last little thing, olive oil based mayonnaise, I have yet to find one on the shelf anywhere around me the canola oil is not the first ingredient
Recipes please! I would definitely love to have some recipe ideas. I have switched more to a Mediterranean keto lifestyle so I was very excited to see this video Love your content!
Been looking at possibilities for this diet last few days, haven't seen a lot that made sense to me that it would be doable until seeing this video, thank you so much. Would love to see more on these different meal styles with the different variety options, really opened my mind to the real and plentiful options out there
This makes sense I still prefer Mediterranean because it’s not so restrictive. I can have pasta as a treat and I love seafood, I’ve given up red meat will have chicken occasionally and I like beans great source of fiber.
This is wonderful. I am ready for a next level of keto. I wanted lighter. And I am getting tired on meat and cheese with a side salad. This was very creative! These are fantastic ideas, and with the specific nutrition, That helped so much. Thank you so much Thomas. I would love some easy simple recipes for meals. Much Love to you!
Hi Thomas, can you please make a video like this for just a regular Mediterranean diet combined with a 20hour fast? Thank you for all your videos. Love watching all the helpful information!! Keep up the great work!
I'm binge watching you since I only found you and Bobby Parrish just in the last week. So this is coming in a month late, but I would love to see more on a Mediterranean/ Keto meal planning recipes. Thanks, love your information.
21:08 Vitamin K is measured in μg not mg. From Linus Pauling Institute: The adequate intake (AI) level for vitamin K is set at 90 μg/day for women and 120 μg/day for men.
Thomas - let's see a battle rope workout from you talking about the dos and don'ts along with time to rest in between and different variations and if one style of battle roping is more effective for one thing while another style is better for this. Hope that makes sense, loving the content you and your team produce regularly for us!
Great video bro the best keto meal plan on your channel I'm not keto but will surely try some of these delicious recipes much Respects and Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Thomas DeLauer, I use to look forward to every video you released. Now it's nothing but Keto. I really enjoy your videos, pls make other nutrition and health videos besides Keto all the time.
In the uk Gaizegill Organics in Lancashire deliver award winning organic grass fed beef and are really reasonable in price considering the quality. They do keto boxes which include organic ghee and marrow bones

Mediterranean food + Ketogenic diet is the best combination. Thank you for sharing this.
Same for me!!
Just what I need. I need something less greasy/fat food cause my stomach doesn't like me eating too much fat. Seems like a fresh option for keto.
This is how l have been doing KETO. So happy to see this MED KETO. It works great!
I really appreciate you putting so much time into creating this, and making it so easy for all of us. Thanks a ton

I just finished dinner: one small whole Mozzarella cheese, cucumber, 5 medium Cherry tomatoes, bunch of green Olives, black pepper, salt, juice of half a lemon and a generous amount of virgin olive oil extra vierge. Had it without meat of fish but next time will add grilled Sardines too it. Yummy!
Yes please more recipes and cooking ideas for Mediterranean keto 😍😍😍
Thanks Thomas. I was looking forward to this after your first video about Mediterannean Keto. I'm from The Bahamas and this is giving me some ideas about how to adapt locally grown foods. You can also say there is a lot of "perpendicular" aspects to what's available in tropical regions also. We have a lot of fresh fish here and generally we buy straight from the fisherman at the dock and not so much from the grocery story. Snapper, Mahi, Bonito Tuna, Mackerel etc. Really wonderful video.
I am interested in hearing more about keto/med. Thanks for this one! I started on KETO after a hospitalization from a fall. I suffered a concussion and was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My doctor, nutritionist and health coach at the health clinic I go to all highly advised against KETO, so I promised them I would use it as a intervention and would then transition to a Mediterranean diet. Within three months of KETO my A1c was in normal range and my doctor thought I had been taking meds though I had not. I also believe that KETO with the high fat was very helpful for my brain recovery. More about KETO/Mediterranean diet is exactly what I have been looking for.
Yes please to the medi keto recipes/cooking videos!
I did too much intermittent fasting, and am exhausted. I now need to start eating again... this looks amazing! Thanks Thomas
👍👍👍👍 more recipes on Keto Mediterranean would be awesome. Thanks for your help!
I would love to see Mediterranean Keto style recipes. I love eating all the foods under this style of eating.
Bravo Thomas this is what I practice minus the steak I eat cod salmon shrimp tuna and sometimes chicken for meat. But i do intermittent fasting best diet ever. Never get board and I've lost 232 lb since 11/2017.
Wow congrats on the weight loss!
I’ve been using this meal plan for months now and feel great. Thank you so much
Yes, please, to Mediterranean Keto recipes!
I have been looking for a healthy Keto plan that I could really feel good about for YEARS! I can't thank you enough for these common sense guidelines that I can implement easily TODAY! God bless you, sir!!
zucchini noodles with lean beef(cooked in avocado oil, with the leftover avocado oil used to cook the meat over the zucchini noodles) with a bit of lemon juice squeezed onto everything, add salt and pepper to taste. I haven't tried it but it sounds good.
I struggled with keto too much, I just felt exhausted. We are supposed to enjoy the food we eat and with keto that's close to impossible. That's why I tried the Agoge diet and it works great.
Thank you for this. Your videos have been my preferred source of information since starting keto 3 months ago. I love that you're focusing on the Mediterranean diet.
Thank you for mentioning the Bulgarian yogurt. It is really one of the best in the world. And it is free from pesticides and antibiotics.
Thomas this is my favorite video yet. The meal plan is awesome with the different options. This is definitely something I could follow and meal prep with. I am so excited to incorporate this into my lifestyle. Love your videos, I love this you have the science behind it too. The whiteboards are great so I can pause and take notes in my keto journal. Thank you for sharing your story and this great video
Great video! That's the kind of keto I have been following most of the time. Lots of fish and veggies with sometimes some dairy and berries.
Yes to the recipes! You just made me remember couple of things that I forgot I can have them! Thanks
I have been to the island of Sardinia and they do eat lots of pasture-raised red meats and pork along with pasture raised eggs lots of vegetables olives olive oil very well spiced and very delicious. And they do eat alot of farm churned butter.
I’d love to see a keto like carb cycling protocol video if you don’t already have one.
I needed this! Thank you, Thomas!
I've mentally hit a wall with keto lately. This Medi-Keto approach works for me & it's everything I really like. Again, thank you!
JRob yes same. I think medi-keto is more sustainable.
Yes, I'd like to see my medi-keto recipes! Great video, Thomas!
Thomas thank you so much
I'm actually underweight because of keto & IF being SO effective 😊
This change up will help me a lot. Delicious options for my fats 💜
This is so good! Yes, I'd love for you to show some Mediterranean keto recipes, please.
Super valuable video! More meal options and small tips like the asparagus, chia pudding etc is exactly the content I’m looking for. Combos of keto ingredients and where to “cheat” in moderation to make the diet practical is super valuable content that I search for. (Your efficient how/why explanations on each piece puts your video at the top of my list). I wouldn’t make boring cooking videos that TH-cam is flooded with; but telling us what ingredients to put together to hit macros, tasty meal options because it is hard to be creative etc and then quickly showing the how like the asparagus in this video is killer content.
Yes, let's see some cooked dishes. It all sounds wonderfully clean and nutritious!
Thomas thank you so much for this information it's great! I would love to see more videos on recipes and diet but also a Mediterranean shopping haul. You do such an awesome job and thank you for the information and thank you for making it free.
I got COVID in September...which left me afflicted with A-Fib. I'm seeing an electrophysiologist, and on meds, but I'd like to avoid an ablation. According to everything I'm reading, the Mediterranean Diet is what is recommended for A-Fib and other arrhythmias, but I know the Keto diet works best for my body...that and intermittent fasting...and et voila...you incorporate all of them into this plan.
My goal is to drop 10% of my body weight...which is what they say will get rid of the A-Fib. What do I have to lose by trying? This is driving me crazy because I've always been healthy.
I am amazed that you are always so willing to share your vast knowledge Thomas!!! You have been a life saver for me and my mom!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Your work is higly appreciated we are loaded with knowledge that you have giving us about keto diet in sientific way also so please start cooking recipes cause we need more guiedance about that thx
Ahmed Assi I like that he mixes it up with Bobby from FlavCity. They make a great team!!
I would love more recipes. I have been working on learning what my body responses too. I did IF and keto for about 8 months and watched my weight slowly come off. I had better sleep, reduced inflammation. Then COVID hit, I am a health care worker in a nursing home. The stress hit me hard and I gained all the weight back quickly. Now my body is premenopausal, stressed out, and I also had a mild case of COVID. For a month.
I am recovering now ready to start focusing on my health again. I really want to support my immune system more. Figure out hormones and hopefully lose weight.
As always, a SUPER VID!!! LOVE YOUR WORK, Thomas!
So simple, yet so effective. That's how would I describe diet plan from "Agoge Diet". Now I belive that simplicity is the key to brilliance.
This is awesome! 😍 Thank you so much! I realized that I eat well but too much... 😅 I would love to see more videos on this topic, more meal suggestions. ❤️❤️❤️
Our doc recommends Mediterranean diet for my husband and me the Keto. This is excellent. Ordered your book
First day of Keto Mediterranean! But I’m hooked on dates atm,
Just had 3 scrambled eggs,1 avocado, hummus olives cheese and walnuts
Awesome video, Thomas! I’ve been waiting for it since the first video on medi-keto 🙂 I would LOVE to see more recipes/cooking/ideas regarding this “version” of keto!
I do really think this diet besides the regular keto diet will do me justice.
I would love some Mediterranean Keto recipes!
Yes!!! More videos on medi-keto please!
Of course I'm aware that you made this video only because I asked for it, but I want to thank you also in the name of all the others who will profit from it. 😁
But seriously, this is what I was waiting for. Another great video in your collection. It's a shame I don't seem to be able to tag you in Facebook posts. I share your videos all the time. Never mind. I'm extremely grateful for all the work you do. 👍🏼😉
I am so thankful for all these videos. I often pause them and google search certain things to get a full understanding. I would DEFINITELY love to see some recipes!
Thanks for the ideas! Recipes would be great too. My husband and I eat asparagus a lot (maybe 5x/wk), but I could never eat a whole bowl full of it. I am going to start sprinkling it with the nutritional yeast, as I have struggled to know what to do with the stuff. I appreciate your videos. Keto has been life changing for us. We are now off all diabetes meds and the weight continues to come off.
I knew thomas delauer was italian!!! Thomas is always talking about artichokes and the mediteranean!!! And besides, thomas loves oysters!!!
Totally agree this is the healthiest diet you can eat. The problem is it’s so expensive. People wonder why so much junk food is consumed in the US, it’s because it’s so cheap, people can’t afford to feed their families anymore. I have tried very hard to source quality meats and fish, if they are double sometimes triple the price of most average cuts, I can’t afford it. With hamburger is four dollars a pound and grass fed grass finished hamburger is nine dollars a pound, I just can’t justify the price difference. One last little thing, olive oil based mayonnaise, I have yet to find one on the shelf anywhere around me the canola oil is not the first ingredient
Just started Keto a month ago and am seeing results already. I really would like to see some recipes too!!! Love Your Videos!!!
Great video Thomas. Would love to see some recipes and cooking videos as well
Recipes please! I would definitely love to have some recipe ideas. I have switched more to a Mediterranean keto lifestyle so I was very excited to see this video
Love your content!
Been looking at possibilities for this diet last few days, haven't seen a lot that made sense to me that it would be doable until seeing this video, thank you so much. Would love to see more on these different meal styles with the different variety options, really opened my mind to the real and plentiful options out there
This makes sense I still prefer Mediterranean because it’s not so restrictive. I can have pasta as a treat and I love seafood, I’ve given up red meat will have chicken occasionally and I like beans great source of fiber.
This is wonderful. I am ready for a next level of keto. I wanted lighter. And I am getting tired on meat and cheese with a side salad. This was very creative!
These are fantastic ideas, and with the specific nutrition, That helped so much.
Thank you so much Thomas.
I would love some easy simple recipes for meals. Much Love to you!
I love videos like this !
I’m a home cook and know what to throw together to make things taste good- but I love these ideas
More Mediterranean keto recipes please!! So tasty and feels so good and clean!
Yes, recipes please.
And you are putting a book together, sometime soon I hope.
Thank YOU for the great content & spirit.
Hi Thomas, can you please make a video like this for just a regular Mediterranean diet combined with a 20hour fast? Thank you for all your videos. Love watching all the helpful information!! Keep up the great work!
This info is helping my weight loss stall! Would love to see a cooking video!
Yes, some more mediterranean recipes would be great!
I'm binge watching you since I only found you and Bobby Parrish just in the last week. So this is coming in a month late, but I would love to see more on a Mediterranean/ Keto meal planning recipes. Thanks, love your information.
21:08 Vitamin K is measured in μg not mg.
From Linus Pauling Institute:
The adequate intake (AI) level for vitamin K is set at 90 μg/day for women and 120 μg/day for men.
Thomas - let's see a battle rope workout from you talking about the dos and don'ts along with time to rest in between and different variations and if one style of battle roping is more effective for one thing while another style is better for this.
Hope that makes sense, loving the content you and your team produce regularly for us!
Yes, I'd love to see recipes and cooking videos on Mediterranean keto.
Yes please more recepies. You are so knowledgeable, thanks for sharing!

This was awesome! I’m really interested in learning more about the Medi-Keto meals. Can we see more meal prep videos please? 👊🏼
In the uk Gaizegill Organics in Lancashire deliver award winning organic grass fed beef and are really reasonable in price considering the quality. They do keto boxes which include organic ghee and marrow bones
