The most important is that mediterranean diet is not boring. You can eat a good variety of food.
You’re content is often relevant to what I’m struggling with. Thank you for this because I was literally having this conversation today that I can’t sustain Keto or carnivore for more than several months at a time because I’m not eating foods that have a variety of flavors and textures, and I end up relapsing to trigger foods just to eat something different or crunchy. This has been my roller coaster experience since transitioning to Keto about 5 years ago. I have lost 40 pounds, and I’m eating so much better but losing the last 30 pounds has been a struggle. This eventual relapse is causing major plateaus that’s made this weight loss slow. I think cycling in some Mediterranean meals will give me the satiety and flavor rich foods that I’m longing for. Thank you for this video.
On keto are you eating lots of saturated fat or sticking just to monounsaturated fats like olive oil, nuts, avocados etc?
For the short term, I'm doing strict keto, long term, I'll move to low carb Mediterranean
Same. I need to drop a few, and I do have good energy / clarity on Keto. I just wish it was more varied. Might start introducing *some* of these foods to see how they affect me.
I am getting ready to order the Mediterranean keto book from Amazon. I have been adding fruit every day because I need all the spiking to stop. I want my body to know that fruit is not bad. That was my downfall the first time on keto that made me fail. I like 10 grapes, I like a small apple, I like half small pear, I like a banana right b4 I see spots. It’s been working. I have gone from 153 to 98-110 glucose in three weeks. I have also done a couple omad days. I feel that I have fueled all my cells without leaving things out. Fruit mornings veggie nights 😃
You've finally convinced me, Thomas, to make the switch from Carnivore to the Mediterranean. Thanks for the great work you do. I watch you daily.
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS‼️ I’ve been in a totally Mediterranean with a keto touch diet for almost 4 years, I reversed autoinmune, high blood pressure and pre diabetes! Could not be better! It’s a matter of balance👍🏻
Being able to weed out the carbohydrates is a challenge since all the sauces, oils and creams soak into this medium that helps in gathering for consumption.
@@jsun3117 try a konjac noodle
Foods list please? 😀
Have been doing Mediterranean since birth (or weaning, depends how you look at it) and never heard of lean meats being a part of it.
Nobody cares about that, only about the quality and taste, meat is actually cooked with the fat for flavour.
Main thing is use olive oil in most places. Not just as salad dressing but also with your veggies (no salad dressings full of rubbish), with vinegar (wine or ACV).
You'll be hard pressed to find processed foods in a Mediterranean meal, and that also makes a big difference
A very nice presentation covers huge vectors! Easy to understand T. D. Thanks much
I feel like weekends are my Mediterranean time. Today I made a huge omelet with goat cheese, chives, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and olives. I love that stuff when it is homemade. For dinner, my family wanted Japanese, I ate a bunch of left overs in my fridge, including chicken, beef and salad.
During the week it is really easy to stay closer to keto for me. I just throw some sort of greens and yogurt at the end of that day but otherwise fat and protein and coffee all day long is making me super happy M-F. We’ll see how this goes.
I like that this channel covers so much ground. Always something useful somewhere here.
That was a great video. I learned so much. I hope you feel better. Thank you for sticking it out.
I’ve used this diet, and it’s super effective. Probably the most effective diet I’ve used because it is super easy to follow, which is the most important aspect for longevity and staying compliant.
It's not a diet.
It's a way of eating.
An update on the world’s most misunderstood eating style and why the contemporary version is making people overfat.
Most people have heard about the Mediterranean diet, and the medical literature contains thousands of research articles referencing it. The “Med diet” has been recommended as a remedy for metabolic syndrome, “weight” gain and obesity, and for preventing most chronic diseases.
There’s also a connection between the overfat epidemic and the modern version of the Med diet, which is really quite different from the original.
Healthy components of the original Med diet include higher consumption of olive oil, vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts, and moderate red wine intake. Known for its higher fat content, especially when supplementing extra fat from olive oil and nuts like almonds and walnuts, the style of eating is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular risk by about 30 percent. It has also be shown to reduce carbohydrate intolerance.
However, over the course of decades of research, something bad happened - an obvious problem consistently missed by the media and most scientific discussions - the diet began to include processed junk foods. Associating these health benefits with today’s popularized and contrived “Med diet” is a myth.
Technically defined quite simply as a menu of the traditional foods that have been consumed for thousands of years in the areas that surround the Mediterranean Sea, this way of eating has been described by modern-day nutrition researchers as “the cultural heritage of all mankind.” This is the same geographical area where Western civilization began to flourish, creating art, commerce and culture. Agriculture was the foundation of society, and it’s thought that 80 percent of the population was involved in growing, producing or selling these healthy, natural foods.
Unfortunately, the media has misled people about this so-called “diet.” Some researchers have even made a food pyramid out of it. Not unexpectedly, hundreds of diet books and cook books have been written in many languages. The worst portrayal of the Med diet is that it’s a “diet” in the first place. It’s not. There are no rules, no serving sizes and no special recipes one must follow to eat this way. It’s a way of eating local, natural foods “specific to a certain climate and culture,” says Walter Willet, chairman of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. “By paying attention to healthy ingredients rather than specific recipes, anyone can adapt this plan to their own tastes.”
The result is better fat-burning, increased longevity, and improved health with much less chronic illness.
The area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea varies significantly in climate so that the food grown there can differ considerably as well, and even the seafood available in waters in different locations can vary. This provides a smorgasbord of healthy, natural foods rather than one eating style.
Another myth is that the Mediterranean people avoided eating animal foods. They ate meat - ranging from poultry and lamb, to wild animals. Likewise, they didn’t shun beef, it just was not part of the daily dietary regimen because cattle didn’t exist there in large numbers. However, raising other animals provided more than meat, including chickens (which also provided eggs), lamb (which also provided wool) and sheep (which also provided milk).
In addition, the whole grains consumed in the Mediterranean area were truly whole. Cereal, from the Greek word sitos, refers to any type of grain. For thousands of years, about 90 percent of the cereal grain grown and consumed in the Mediterranean region was whole, unprocessed barley. Most people today, especially in the Western world, have never seen or tasted whole grains despite what labels say on most packaged food items like breads and cereals. The commercial phrase “whole grain” is usually a gimmick to fool people into thinking they’re eating something healthy, when in fact the product is most often highly processed.
@@DebbieTDP are sprouted breads close?
Impressive information Thomas…thanks for sharing!!
Went a Macadamia nut farm on the North shore of Oahu in 2019, they had the best Macadamia nuts I've ever had 😊
Fabulous summary and very interesting studies too!
Thank you for this information. You are a blessing and I listen to you often. The information you have provided have changed my life. I am 63, have lost 35 pounds in two years, have more energy, work out three times a week with cardio and weighs and no longer have brain fog! The Mediterranean like diet mixed with Keto and occasionally IF has changed my life!! Whole foods, exercise and lifestyle changes pays off!!!!
Thank you for sharing such good information backed by good quality studies. I just attended a full day cardiology conference and was pleased to see how much diet, exercise and lifestyle management was stressed and encouraged to us providers. Multiple speakers highly touted the Mediterranean diet.
I would scrutinize the studies, especially since the Covid debacle. Who is funding these studies and have they got an agenda.
Hello from Africa, it's always great to watch your channel 😀, well done,
This seems to hit many great markers. It’s difficult to follow “all or nothing” dietary plans and the Mediterranean seems to walk a great balance. As the follower of a renal diet which restricts so many protein foods, the Mediterranean plan can be modified for the needs of everyone. Thank you, Thomas.
As a recovering YoYo dieter I’ve been doing low carb and intermittent fasting for almost 3 years. Having reached my goal weight I have to admit that the Mediterranean diet is very appealing because of adding more interesting foods with more satiety. I will be adding a variety of foods and varying my fasting window. Muscle loss is a big concern as I get older. I have come a long way since I eliminated most of the processed foods and bad oils from my diet. I’ll have a special occasion treat and not beat myself up. These treats just aren’t as tasty anymore.
It’s too bad that PCPs are not as interested in keeping us healthy as they are at prescribing the latest drugs at their disposal. The food pyramid has so many pitfalls and it’s just bad advice.
Thank you Thomas for giving us some options to think about. 😊
I love olives! In the Netherlands hard to get any nice olives without added sunflower or rapeseed oils though.😢
Loved your newsletter on family meals & this content is helpful! 💞
You have in the past posted shopping lists for specific diets, can you do the Sam for the Mediterranean diet.
Great 👍 video on scientific study staying or getting healthy and happy, all the very best.
Noticed med diet is discussed , most of the foods mentioned concentrate on Italy and Greece.
What about foods from the other countries surrounding the Mediterranean areas
Avocado oil oxidizes quickly - ok if fresh...but never use it to cook with. Eat tons of olives though.
Other factors of living in the Mediterranean is the warmth, old people feel the cold and it affects the joints
And I think sunlight helps them. I live in Iowa and today was the first day since November that I could feel sun on my skin.
This switch to the Med diet ought to give Thomas at least three more years of videos, a few new books, and maybe some olive oil sponsorships.
And don’t forget the “new” buzz, like Omega-7, Methylation and Epigenetic age, that’s bound to capture new audience’s segments.
Must admit I am having doubts about this guys real motives. He seems to be jumping the full Keto ship. This could be a way of levering the green agenda anti livestock agenda into mainstream. Cow farts and all that. I notice also Pam Popper pontificating about the Vegan way of eating. I would even question the papers he is quoting.....who is funding these studies. Who do we trust these days. Not pharma. All I really know we havent got canine teeth for nowt, and history shows very little veggies available in the wild, especially above the arctic circle.
This is going to be good 👍
Can we get an updated 2023 sample day of eating on the medi keto?
Sweet shirt! Try an event with Cadre Chuy!!
yes, CCK, PYY, GLP-1!
however, if there is a serious problem in this area with the output of the L cells, there is not an easy fix.
gallbladder enzymes and other factors could play a huge role in the cell differentiation of stem cells into L-cells.
so, just feeding the gut bacteria with more fiber might result in more hormone output of the L-cells. they have a short lifespan of only 4 days. maybe feeding them with more SCFAs might prolong their lifespan by a day and leads to effective more L-cells.
maybe not. there still are much more questions than answers.
maybe i try a microbiome fix with a potato diet with asparagus and artichokes etc. for a week or two
I used to follow the Mediterranean diet, but I couldn't loose weight, so I turned to keto. I wonder if eating like this, and restricting calories (again, I tought I has overpassed that " restricting calories stage") would work for me
Jeez,, I noticed loss of strength in my 30’s… before COVID I was doing keto and felt so much better…. After fell off during pandemic and now struggling just to go back to even low carb 😖 late 40’s now everything hurts 😵💫
I'm planning on starting the Mediterranean diet, because of my diabetes and I want to start being healthier.
You have diabetes type 1 or 2? The type 2 is reversible, but even type 1 can be managed. There is a doctor here on youtube, type 1 diabetes. She only eats once a day, basically she does intermittent fasting, no carbs, and she needs very little insulin.
You'll find a way ...
@@oanairani41 I have type 2 diabetes, recently diagnosed.
@@thechosengirlreviews That's totally reversible, I've seen so many people on youtube who reversed it, with keto( no carbs) and intermittent fasting. Dr Jason Fung ( u can find him here on utube) has helped many patients.
If you are strict about ur diet, you can reverse your diabetes in 6 weeks, also you'll lose weight too..
Insulin resistance is the culprit here..
Once your triglycerides loweredwith diet, in 6-8 weeks, you can add beans and oats.
I like everything about it except for the lean meat. I quite love a good ribeye steak or other cuts that have more fat. I like to grind a chuck roast and maybe brisket to make my burgers. That being said i think its a balance. I employ time restricted eating and fast for a few days every few months as well as skipping the odd day here and there. i'm not ridged about it, if there's a party or other social event I go with the flow. Anyway brilliant video with great info, as always.
what about DH Kiefer ? I think his diet is best in terms of health and performance.
A point made by Nina Teicholz in "Big Fat Lie" is that therre is no real concensus on what the Mediterranean diet is. There is a tremendous range of macronutrients and food types across the Mediterranean. I am not trying to be a detractor..and indeed I like eating things which could be described as Mediterranean. But in terms of scientific support for the benefits of this diet, it must be seen in the context of many Mediterranean lifestyle features, including the wild food eaten by the animals which are eaten, the social context sun exposure, excercise balance.
Having said that, I will certainly by guided in my diet by the points made in this video.
The foods included in the diet also helps to lower blood pressure, for those of us with hypertension.
I’ve been on it for a couple of months and it’s been great!
I appreciate what you are saying. But when most Americans hear Mediterranean Diet they hear Spaghetti with Meatballs and Garlic Bread, Chicken Fettuccini with garlic Bread, Pizza and Lasagna with Garlic Bread. For ten years my doctor said that to me. Meant nothing. When I got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes they were going to do a 30 minute phone call consultation I hung up on her. I am sure they were going to charge $1000 for that call and she was going to read the USDA food chart to me. I still don’t know how Doctors expect someone to get control of it with out a treatment plan. I see hundreds of people at the gym failing to lose weight. It’s really sad. I had to figure it out for myself. My faith in doctors is in the tank. They are practicing propaganda and drug sales now. My doctor told me to run I have had 4 back surgeries, I told him even as a kid I hated running. I lost the weight in spite of what he said fasting and low carb. Until healthcare professionals start teaching people what to eat and how they can exercise within their capabilities. If I hadn’t had debilitating pain from my back I would still be struggling. I had to go to Sports injury Clinic to ask to learn how to be able to get up and down off my knees so I could pick stif up and do other stuff. I would sweat at the least physical activity. They made it possible for me to return to the gym. My point is you talk to smart in shape people most people don’t have a clue. A lot of people can’t afford to eat Whole Foods.
I think you’ll live until you’re at least 100 years old Thomas. Thank you for all your excellent information!
The problem is that plants are defended. You get everything you need from an animal based diet.
I’m still concerned when using stevia, allulose or monk fruit sweeteners- the CPIR that yet produces insulin… is this still causing excess insulin that’s not used & circulates the blood?
Really cool info! Thank you!
the half life of insulin is 5-6 minutes, it won't stay in your system long.
@@Santa-ny1yp THANK YOU for that! I had been asking (crowd sourcing) for over 2 years now! So that’s extremely interesting! Now I’m going to investigate that! Wow - really thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you know how intrinsic factor can be increased in an elderly person when there’s no PPI’s taken and not on any medications?
@22:04, huge error on screen! Instead of displaying Low amounts of Saturated Fats.
I might try this later in the year. Im just so burnt out from keto. Im enjoying freely eating again
Be careful. I gained 40 lbs in 4 months coming off keto and fasting.
@@williamstamp5288 I am. Keto did nothing for me. Made me very anxious and depressed with no weight loss for 5 years. So far so good. I think im up like 8 since November. Im healing my mind from diet failure
Why did you skip fasting
@@sawyerr9841 gluttony
@@sawyerr9841 me? Never could do more than 14 hours. No matter what I did I got sick and sometimes passed out. I even asked on here and got laughed at. Adjusted electrolytes, did everything. Nothing ever worked. Its ok. Im much happier now. Its not for everyone
Dr. Gundry also promotes it
Thank you for the info , I’ve been thinking about the Mediterranean diet for a while and now I’m convinced that this is the plan for me being type 2 diabetic and 54 yrs old
Mediterranean Diet Keto with strategic Fasting 💜
What’s the story with the Mediterranean diet and pasta/bread?
Ellyndale has cold pressed macadamia nut oil
Yes! The Mediterranean diet is great for overall health! Maybe it is also the "near"future for weight and blood sugar management. Why not. If people just stopped looking at trends and just followed the simple principles of this "future diet" dating back thousands of years...
Berries and veggies are also full of Oxalates and they are not a joke
What happened to what you said in the video with Dr. Chafee? The plant free MD? So plants are cool now? Oh we need to push your sponsors 😅
are we talking low Carb or Keto Mediterranean ?
Arthritis, all Med diet people I've known past 50 have debilitating arthritis and inflammation from the fruit sugars. It keeps them glucose dependent, helpless. Doesn't seem logical. Glucose holds water, fact.
You are amazing, the med diet thing however, doesn't add up. It's hard to see so much pain. Makes me cry to witness and no report changes that end game.
I'm so dang confused... kept, paleo, carnivore, now Mediterranean???? Every says something different. I am allergic to so many plants so I've been sticking to carnivore and now you have me second guessing that.
I agree about the confusion... but i think on one of his videos he was talking how pretty much useless keyo becomes after 6 months ( due to playo, i believe, as well as inabilityofcthe body to utilize carbs), so one has to take a break from it, this is where Mediterranean is cool to involve. Maybe, as well, you could do carb cycling a healthy way, or " cheat days". It's difficult to go back to keto, i understand, but It's good to have variety.
Would this diet be good for someone with Hashimotos disease?
Yes, eat everything from the Mediterranean diet without the grains. Use quinoa, teff, buckwheat instead of regular grains.
Hello from Croatia. We have vitamine D 300 days a year also :D definately the best diet, just come by and you will see old sailors being lean and strong in 80s.
Made me wonder, what do you eat if not having home made olive oil, freshly cought fish, some octoppus under the bell with potatoes, or some lamb and chicken, not having organic vegetables, or sage, rosmarine,mint,parsley and basil growing in a garden or windowsill? Etc etc. For me all of that is just regular stuff. I never go to mcDonalds here in Dalmatia as it's so tasteless.. Wish you were all having our diet (munching olives with some local cheese while watching lol)
Real food and an abundance of sun is the secret sauce behind all this marketing chatter.
Well, fortunately for me I really like Mediterranean food, so good news
This is a more realistic diet anyways....and healthier. We need the fiber from beans and lentils, the oats. Maybe have smaller portion of these legumes every other day.
chasing goats up and down a rocky ravine when you are 70, then roasting the goat and eating it with your friends with a drop of red wine and listening to some bouzouki music is part of the Mediterranean diet.
That sounds awesome
Is oatmeal off the table completely? I love it for breakfast with berries.
Can we reverse sarcopenia? I’m 55 and feeling the effects already.
Yes you can reverse it. Lift weights. Start light then slowly work your way up. You can do calisthenics instead. Such as pull ups and push ups. Train upper and lower body too. Also increase your protein intake. I personally eat eggs, sardines and cottage cheese for my most of my protein, but there's obviously other forms as well. I'll be 56 this month and have built muscles in my 50's. All naturally. You can do it 💪
@@alrivers2297 Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement!! I wish you the very best in life!
@@1019lms ✌️
oats are ok but they first need to be soaked in water for several hours to get rid of the phytic acid that stops nutrients being absorbed.
@@dennisward43 Thank you!! I would have never guessed this.
13:20 he needs to explain how to incorporate the keto and Mediterranean diet together better.
You can’t figure that out? Sheesh
I ordered from house of macadamia but they were out of their oil so I didn’t get any lol
Mistake in the recap ? Low unsaturated fat instead of saturated ?
The mediterranean diet is Old as the Earth and approved by science. I am on mediterranean diet for decades. I tried different things like Keto and carnivore, by curiosity. They both don't work for me. Something they both missing out on nutrition.
How about adding a cooking show to your channel? Something a bit out of the comfort zone like sleeping on the beach and grilling the bats you hunted yesterday from the cave with Bear Grylls. Ok, after doing some adventuring, philosophy and perhaps substances, you can then allow yourself to have a short science part too "This particular bat species emits rare amino acid foliosis-b14, which the latest study says is very important when it comes to your mitochondria feeling less depressed, stopping cortisol AX86-FRBD that is, but the real interesting thing is that when you add garlic into the mix it will put you instantly into ketosis. This is due to the love of the bats mother, which is organic - none of that GM crap, but also a adversarial nature of garlic and vampiric animals. Now I don't know for sure, Im just a guy in the internet. This has been Thomas on the beach - What's cooking?".
Italy among other Mediterranean countries eat a lot of pasta, bread, sugary desserts, etc, and there are many different Mediterranean countries with different diets. How can you bundle them
all as The Mediterranean Diet and they all are getting unhealthy like the rest of the world. Keto/ketovor/carnivore is the healthiest diet out there as it’s THE PROPER ANCESTRAL HUMAN DIET.
Views, Videos= $$$. That's why you put out videos daily. There is the answer to your question.
Why are you watching then? It’s your choice to watch or not . Plus I’m pretty sure that our ancestors were omnivores . But you do you and let everybody else enjoy a wider range of food with scientific based benefits. Carnivore diet may help you live longer, If you live a few months longer than me then good on ya. I fast and eat low carb when I can but I enjoy a range of veggies and will have homemade pasta and home baked hi fibre bread on occasions dipped in olive or avocado oil and really enjoy it. The thought of eating all meat, not only would make me broke but also makes me want to vomit 🤢 . You do you and I’ll do me and we’ll both live our best lives the way we want to. Again if you don’t agree with a video why watch and comment? it just helps his channel grow. I appreciate the science, I take what I want from it and leave the rest.
@@kestag2110 you know what you’re right I’m unsubscribing from Thomas’s channel. Too much useless info.
I'm not understanding how Mediterranean diet differs from Keto?
I have been watching your channel for a while now and just started the keto diet about a week ago (based mostly upon your channel). So where does that leave keto? Do we hate it know?
All the veggies,meat and oils on med diet should be good for keto.
You said “we”…..you have to do what feels right for you and what your metabolic needs are. If that’s keto, I’m sure that’s just fine! I also just started doing keto about a month and a half ago because I was recently diagnosed with MS and diabetes and keto is going to help with both. I can’t do any of the carbs that are allowed in the Mediterranean diet (at least just yet!) but keto is currently what’s working for me.
Healthy fats in keto are olive oil, avocado, nuts....I thought I was doing keto, but it turns out I was following mediteranian type of diet. Just leave out the heavy fried in bad oils food, the carbs and try to eat within 6 hours or so all your meals.
@@oanairani41 Thanks I may have misinterpreted the video, doesn't sound like he is backtracking on keto, but maybe suggesting a kind of hybrid keto / Mediterranean diet, which makes sense
@Jerry Seeley Yeah, it's confusing...
Plus, I find most people do " dirty" keto. Not all cheeses are great for you, I prefer fermented cheeses such parmesan. Sausages, hams and salami are full of nitrates... we should eat real meat, eggs, fish, seafood, chicken..
In the end the goal is to be healthy, not just lose the weight. I started to add beans and oats into my diet recently, after 2 years of keto, I think we need the fiber to get rid of cholesterol. It's an ongoing experiment for me 😀
Hydroxytyrosol and pterostilbene
Exactly, I didn't understand jack shit
It should be noted the traditional Mediterranean diet is very low carb and no processed foods at all. It seems to have been westernized in the last 20 years making the new one very unhealthy.
I would love to see how the Mediterranean diet compares to the carnivore diet in a head to head. The Mediterranean diet was created in the 1950's by someone that did not understand the culture or why the people were eating what they were eating. So it is a fairly new diet where as a diet consisting of over 70% meat goes back to before humans became humans. If meat would have always been available I think they would have been eating 100% meat.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Hippocrates.
He might have been on to something.
Jack Kruse mentioned UVB and IR-a sulfates vitamin D and cholesterol the other day working upon Stephanie Seneffs work. I wonder if hydrogen sulfide SIBO isn't just a way to circumnavigate issues with transsulfaration but also a way to give the mitochondria hydrogen when cellular exchange is inhibited. As the extracellular matrix and glycosaminoglycans are sulfated too and need proper transsulfuration to work properly.
Hmm could be
I think Mediterranean diet works because people in that region get plenty of vitamin D from the sun and they don’t consume much processed carbs and sugar.
Thomas
I take a few sups of fibers mentioned here. Q: Would there maybe be an optimum time of day to take these / or when Int Fasting ? Cheers thx
Are you currently getting over a cold/sinus infection just like me, Thomas? 😩
Thought he sounded sick
Wouldn't Paleo be a step up from Mediterranean? Even cleaner food and healthier carbs than Mediterranean.
So now he's Mediterranean, wonder how long that will last. Okinawan next? He keeps shifting and making money off it. The other day I was watching DeLauer and Lewis Howes (school of greatness) interviewing each other - couldn't tell them apart, lol.
Carnivore works for me.
The reason Mediterranean diet is low in protein is because you eat at a restaurant and giving you more protein cost money. I just cook my food with more portrait and it's not Mediterranean. But as all the elements similar to a healthy diet
Why is leaner protein better? So turkey is better than beef? I doubt it, I’ll stick to my fatty cuts of beef 🥩
so no more keto
wait wut, avocado's eat the whole thing? Skin and Seed too ?
Not one of my tropical ancestor ate the seed or skin....lol
The secret of the Mediterranean Diet is sunshine. Vitamin D3.
I deploy many Mediterranean foods but am in no way going to give up red meat, bacon and other great fatty proteins. Sort of a Mediterranean Ketovore,
No more keto?
A Japanese diet is as good as the Mediterranean diet
meanwhile in my oven: fatty organic salmon, shrimps and feta cheese cooked with oliveoil and thymian :)
tomorrow will be my carnivore day: rib eye beef with green asparagus and eggs slowly cooked in grasfed butter... damn i love a low carb diet, its so good :)
and when i get cravings from time to time, i do a cheat day... easy life :)
CICO is King.
You know, if he hadn't spoken about the Mediterranean diet previously, I would've said this was published on April 1st and clearly a joke. But I don't believe every part of the Mediterranean diet is good, especially for folks who have metabolic disfunction. I would say keto wins. However, I don't think Mediterranean is bad at all so long as the focus is on the fats, vegies and meats.
Future? It's the present. Been doing it for a year and a half and it blow keto out of the water as far as ease of diet and cognitive and physical performance.
Thanks for a great video again! Your breathing doesnt sound too good. I hope you are okay. Maybe it's the microphone I dunno breathing sounds tight
The Chicken came first according to the Bible!
As our country has no clue on the region, it has no clue how to do it . They eat real food without any of the sawdust and chemicals and dyes that our country uses. Well rounded only applies to healthy people too. If you are sick go extra low carb real food
I eat the Mediterranean diet and enjoy it very much. Then bam, just the other day, I see info on something called lectins in tomatoes, bell peppers, beans, lentils, and more... yikes! Apparently, it's bad! Wth? Help
Are you sick? Your sinuses sound clogged up and inflamed. Did the Mediterranean diet do that because on carnivore/keto I never get sick?
Is this diet expensive? All that seafood.
Oops! Spoke too soon. See wrap-up at the end. 😊
Okinawa has oldest living population, so that diet night be even better
may be true but do you have asian genes if not that diet might not work as good
@@zackbog Are you implying that non-asians can't eat pork and sweet potatoes? Mediterran diet is pork heavy too, and sweet potato is definitely better than pasta.
@@SkepticalCaveman no I'm in applying that DNA plays a role in how well diets work I'm not saying it won't work but it might not work as good for some non Asians
@@zackbog So you're just making a blind assumption in other words?
@@SkepticalCaveman if you think your Gene's dont play a role in which diet works for you are a fool. why do you think Asians can eat a lot off rice in not get fat but people from western countries get fat
