Thanks for another great video😊

I love when skinny people who have NEVER had a weight problem talk about how being overweight is unhealthy? DUH! As a 70 year old woman who has been fat, thin, fat, thin my whole life what makes you think I like being fat? What makes you think what you say is original? I have heard this for 65 years.

I’ve binge watched this channel after receiving some bad news from the cardiologist last week. My weight has been up and down for years. I’ve done keto, low carb, weight watchers, and even Mediterranean over the years. I’m the main cook in my home. My partner “needs” meat every meal. I’m finding it difficult to mesh our diets.

I just found your video and l like you showing and it is easy understanding. I have a question about nightshades. i have immunity problems. friends told me that nightshade vegetables may cause more inflammatory problems in the inflammatory body. Is it true? I do love to eat nightshade vegetables.

Instacart also isn't helping.

Hi Dr Anna I can only walk. I currently have a frozen shoulder linked to thyroid, or my lack of thyroid. My antibodies reactivated and seem to have possibly caused the FS, so resistance training isn’t something I can do for my upper body unfortunately. Living on a farm it’s also coming up to snake season, well they are already about just not as fast. We do have some of the deadliest snakes here. I do have a treadmill that I can use so was wondering if putting that into use and on an incline would that increase resistance in my lower body enough to help me get cardio plus strengthening exercises? Under GP and Endocrinologist I am allowed to exercise.

I find it extremely difficult to exercise 😢. I tried but I usually give up half way.

I have heard that BMI is not a good measurement. There are lots of ways to measure your health.

I’ve been following you for a while now and every video is helpful in some way. I too have been eating in the Mediterranean style and I’ve re-joined a local gym for some weight training. I have a dog so we are walking some every day but I could probably do a bit more of that. lol My downfall is sugar; in that area, I seem to have once again lost my self-discipline. I need to get better at that. Since I’m post-menopause, I’m told there could be hormonal changes affecting my ability to lose weight as well. Is that a possibility? Are there foods that should be avoided (or included) in that situation? If that’s the case, could you perhaps work in a video on that topic? Thanks for sharing with us weekly, Dr. Anna!

I try to eat Mediterranean, but sometimes my busy life interferes. I’m glad soup season is almost here and that my husband doesn’t mind repeating meals. I can get so much nutrition in a soup and they are filling. My biggest problem is snacking too much. I am often not hungry when snacking so I need an alternative to snacking when I walk in the kitchen. Haha! Maybe do a few squats of leg kicks before starting cooking and keeping a glass of water or herbal tea nearby. I love exercise and generally get enough. I depend on exercise videos a lot because we have a dangerous road to walk on, but my husband and I generally do a 2-3 mile hike 2x a week at a local nature center. 😊I park at the far end of the parking lot when I can, take steps instead of elevator, etc. I am down from 255 to 205, but seem stuck at that weight because I probably need to tweak my diet to have less calories.

My hardest part of this journey is definitely the exercise part. I have taken my BMI to a high of 38 to currently at 29.

I have been eating med style for 3-4 months. My LDL has plummeted and I have lost 10-15 pounds but now seem to be stuck. You mentioned in one video about set points for our weight. I believe I have hit one of those that doesn’t want to be lower. Since going on the med diet I have cut calories to 1200-1500 per day and have started using a recumbent bike daily for 25-30 minutes (200-250 calories according to bike). Any thoughts on how to break through?

😊

We’ve been eating Med for a few years now. I have an obesity management medical team, and they are very supportive with Med eating. Yes, I take a GLP1 agonist (T2D diabetes). For life. And I’m okay with that. I’ve lost almost 130 pounds. A hernia was discovered, and I recently had a consult with a reconstructive plastic surgeon for hernia repair & a panniculectomy. I’m waiting for insurance approval. I can relate to unsafe conditions for exercise. In my complex there is nowhere safe to walk. I utilize UA-cam videos.

I have become an ingredients household instead of a food household. I have to food prep to have food.😂 I’m always proud of when my fridge is empty at the end of the week because it means I ate a lot of veggies.

What about gluten free pastas?

I've been avoiding the pasta. Although we really love wheat pasta, because I thought it was fatning 😏 Thank you for giving us our pasta BACK🤗

Great video-never change a thing about your content-thank you so much. Kathy

Ps- my mom died of a massive stroke and my dad from ab aortic aneurysm but their lifestyles were 100 percent different than mine. Unfortunately allot self induced,

I am 67 and female. I do cardio 5 days a week heart rate between 140-160 during the cardio anywhere from 30-1 hr 15 minutes. 4 days a week I follow the cardio stint with muscle work fatiguing with weights- usually this keeps my heart rate up. I eat meditaranian about 80 percent of the time and have two alchohol beverages on Friday and Saturday none during the week. My BMI is about 26.8 and I’m battling the last 5 lbs. All of my metabolic health is excellent and my BP is 100ish over 60ish. Resting HR 50. The thorn in my side is my LDL which is about 160 I have gotten it into the 150s but currently being religious about Mediterranean eating and introducing oat bran(excellent soluble fiber) I will be excited to see if I have impacted that one thorn. 😊 Dr. Anna you are the best-I could listen to you all day. 😊

Loved this sauce! Very easy to throw together.

I love that you did this! You are a doctor, I don't expect you to be a chef. After all it takes a lot to become a doctor and you are very busy. However, cooking Italian is something I have studied for many years. You nailed everything except one thing. From my understanding you never put oil on your pasta. The thinking is that the oil interferes with the pasta absorbing the sauce. Oh yeah, second thing. You typically cook the pasta until just before al dente then you add it to the sauce and finish cooking it in the sauce. But still, I hope you do LOTS more of these cooking videos.

This was an excellent video especially when you honed in on setpoint. I am a 67 year old and the last 5 lbs I have been working on forever. (Thanks I believe to setpoint)But I am also determined to get there via the mediterranean way-so I am as healthy as possible along the way. So -thank you so much for being our educator- I would LOVE some heady deep dives into that fat topic you referenced. Lastly where do you practice? I have been looking forever for a physician that’s proactive - you are a very rare gift.

I use one protein beverage a day sometimes to get my protein up but I often wonder if the whey protein could be bad for my LDL( I have elevated ldl so I am always thinking about that while also trying to drop 5 lbs. I am a 67 year old female). I have found a plant protein beverage that I may try to stick with OWYN. Does anyone have feedback on protein beverages and LDL?

I’m definitely going to make this. It looks delicious😊

Thank you! I’m going to rewatch this and take some notes. This was so helpful😊

😊

New comment 😁 New question! When I search for the healthiest plant based milk, I'm told soy milk. Yet at the same time I'm told several reasons for NOT drinking soy milk! What is your take on this?!

Please cook the QuinoA😮

Oh my…I’m confused. Think I will just try to balance the things out better. Maths makes my mind zone out

Is the requirement based on current weight 165 or what I am trying to get to 140?

I have been wondering about this very question . I am doing the protein like fish, chicken, eggs. When it came to grains I was having trouble understanding how much protein I was getting in the meal. Now I think I have a better understanding of the protein in the grains. I am getting there for sure. Thank you again I so appreciate you.

Thanks!

What do you think about protein powders? And if you don't hate them do you have any thoughts on plant based or not? I understand that getting protein from food is preferred, but life can get busy. Thoughts?

take your ideal weight and divide it by 2.2 (my ideal weight is 135 + 2.2 = 61 Kg min. grams)

American who now has to figure out all of the math.

Just found you! Love the channel! Thank you!

How timely! I was just wondering about my protein intake. Thank you for your thoughtful explanation and helpful hints for getting more protein in our diet.

I started eating a Mediterranean style diet 3 years ago and have seen such an improvement in my health! Just finished eating a veggie packed omelette with smoked salmon and blackberries on the side 😋. Loved this video!

I have always had issues getting enough protein. I have intolerance to eggs when eaten daily. Hummus does not fill me up, nuts and beans are bad for my kidney stones, so the only main protein I get is from yogurt for breakfast, and chicken for dinner… i hate seafood. I never know what to do about this

I’ve been waiting for a video like this - thank you so much! I’ve been concerned about my protein intake since embracing a Mediterranean-like diet but now I see that by simply doing what I’ve been doing, I’m so close to meeting my needs. I’m so glad you walked us through how to calculate our daily protein needs. I’m also adding a scoop of collagen powder to my morning coffee/smoothie for a head start in the morning. I don’t want to rely on supplements but I think that it gives me a simple daily boost in case I fall short sometime during the day.

Thanks for the easy explanation. Makes it so much easier to understand.

Clearly am not getting enough protein. So thank you for your invaluable info video.

Hey, is canned tuna not a recommended option? 😅

I don't understand kilograms I only understand pounds so if someone weighs 111 lb for example how many grams of protein would be healthy?

Hey Dr. Anna- wonderful presentation. Thank you. I had a question about what I read once that was called "Protein Efficiency"? i.e. a term used to determine how efficient the amino acids from a protein can be absorbed by the body? The person writing about this used eggs an example. The egg, he said, has a high protein efficiency ratio because although it doesn't have as many grams of protein as some other protein foods, the aminos in an egg are absorbed more efficiently than most other protein foods. Is that true? I lift in the gym and I'm trying to keep my protein intake high so I'm eating mainly eggs as my only animal protein source. All my other protein sources are mainly coming from my Mediterranean diet ( Lentils, raw nuts, chia seeds, Ezekiel Bread, nut butters..) Are some protein foods better absorbed by the body than others? Blessings ❤

Wow…great…simple but awesome. Thanks Dr. Anna. God bless you.

Thank you for the information ❤

Did you not know that Quinoa is the only food in the world that has all 9 amino acids? Doctor? Also what type of fiber is this? Insoluble or soluble?
