Lost 48 pounds on Med Diet, 10,000 steps a day, home made bread, light suppers. No junk food ever. This guy is right on, it worked for me.
Congratulations on your weight loss! -Bill
@@Mediterraneanliving Hi! Love your videos! Question. I have SEVERE Hepatic Steatosis
NAFLD. Not even sure if it's even reversible at this point as my doctor explains but I was wondering, is all of these things healthy for me? I was told no pastas. Any advice is most appreciated and I don't mind at all paying for your assistance as I just want to get better to stay alive. Thank you.
Awesome! What bread did u make?
@@lisachapman8116 I make simple wheat bread with yeast or soda nothing fancy
@@Mediterraneanliving I’m eating a apple a day and lots of water
1. Experience mild hunger throughout the day
2. Have a self-care routine that lasts all day
3. Move everyday
4. Create a new snack habit
5. Eat a really really healthy diet
I had actually forgotten what it felt like to feel hungry as I just snacked constantly. Now I get to feel hungry and its a great feeling and I get excited about my meals.
I'm American and this is actually how I was raised to eat and live, so I've never had a weight problem. Learn the basics of cooking, so you can imagine and create all kinds of meals. For example, today I was preparing my lunches for the week and I found a cauliflower head I had forgotten to cook last week. I had planned to just dip it in hummus but decided a soup might be better because it would likely go bad before I could finish it. After looking through my pantry, I found a shallot and 2 red bliss potatoes. Perfect! Then I had a bunch of parsley I bought yesterday. Even better! I chopped it all up. Then I figured I could make it a little heartier with some white beans. So I dug some out from my dried beans stash. Sauteed shallot and potatoes in Kerrygold butter (I know, it's not EVOO, but it goes great with parsley and potatoes - gives a better flavor!). Added the cauliflower, some salt, pepper, dried thyme from my plant, and added the beans once they were cooked, including the water they cooked in (aquafaba is great for you!). Topped it with parsley. Voila! Delicious! Oh, and I used the cauliflower leaves. They provide flavor too.
People confuse healthy eating with bland and boring. It's not if you do it the right way. It's way better than the processed crap most Americans consume. Take the time to cook. It'll pay off. I'm a 42-year-old nurse, so I speak from experience. ;) Happy living!
I'm so inspired to make this! Yum 😊
The younger generations, a lot of them have lost the art of cooking. Never dated a woman who could cook half as good, not even one quarter as good as their mothers. Jokingly, I was dating them to eat their mothers cooking. To be honest, in most things they could not even cook better than me. And I am just average.
And men in general do not cook. I am not talking popping something in the microwave or out of a can either. Of course there are chefs and bakers, I am just speaking in general. Although an Asian male friend is actually the cook in the home, as the wife never really learned.
But most people eat out or buy TV dinners or still live at home and eat their parents cooking. It's not hard, although it can be time consuming, which is understandable why a lot of people do not do it every night. But you can make batches or to eat healthy, make the time. Watch TV when you cook so it does not feel so much like a chore. Just not while chopping...
I watch a LOT of videos that tell you how to lose weight and this is by far the best one I've ever seen.
I'm finishing your clean eating program and I'm starting the diet plan on Monday. When I think about these 5 habits, I think #2 is my pitfall. I realized this over the last few weeks. I often didn't even remember to get to the dashboard at the end of the day. I have a great morning routine (drinking water, walking, even a little work out and always an apple a day), but by the end of the day, I'm tired and don't have my routines to get me through to bed time. Time to start that new habit! Thanks!
I found your channel because I wanted to discover the Blue Zone diet (Mediterranean, obviously), but the real one, not the Americanized version. I think you are awesome for doing your channel! There are a lot of channels on UA-cam that we don't know how knowledgeable they truly are.
Wow! I loved this video. All day self care was my favorite! I pray Almighty God continues to move you to help others. 🤓
I've tried both Weight Watchers and South Beach diets, multiple times, and they always worked for a while, but they were both mentally exhausting, in different ways. I look forward. to trying this out, especially as it seems so much less restrictive. Thanks for sharing these tips!
Thanks for the tips. I especially like the first one, allowing ourselves to be a little hungry throughout the day.
You are very welcome!
I have recently started the Mediterranean diet and I have lost 8-1/2 pounds, I feel good and - most surprisingly - I have not felt hungry. I intend to continue eating this way for the rest of my life as I honestly believe it is the healthiest diet I have ever heard of. I don’t eat any processed foods and very little sugar. Also, it doesn’t involve spending money following commercial weight-loss programs, which I did for many years. Thank you for these helpful videos.
I can't help but notice A LOT of the Mediterranean recipes are high in carbohydrates. Wouldn't that be a problem for weight loss?
I am sorry to say that I did not stay on the Mediterranean diet consistently. It was expensive and difficult to constantly be buying fresh fruit and vegetables. However, I do follow it for a few weeks at a time, then revert to my former habits. I exercise consistently which helps as far as weight control is concerned and I have decided to eat as healthy a diet as possible, even if it is not all the time. About the carbohydrates, I didn’t eat a lot of pasta but I do eat bread which is a hard habit to break. Thank you for your comment. Good luck!
Hi...I came across your vids this morning and haven't stopped watching them. Straight to the point and informative...very enjoyable. Thks...new sub!
I’m really enjoying all the videos. Mediterranean diet just sounds so delicious. We are changing over our pantry and fridge and just love these videos!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Excited to start this way of eating
Hi, I spent the morning watching a few of your videos. Thanks, they are so helpful....And I just made your Greek White Bean Soup with Orange Slices and Olive Oil. It was absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
This guy makes me want to change my life. Definitely a new subscriber.
Thank you!!
I do intermittent fasting- fasting for 14 and up to 16 hours. I have tea or coffee with a plant based milk and water then between 9-11 have either a breakfast meal or good healthy Mediterranean type lunch. So far have lost 12 pounds!
Congratulations on the weight loss!
how long has it taken u?
About two months.
Thanks Bill! I have more to go but taking a break. Weight has still kept off though I bounce up and down two to three pounds. Will get back on it soon!
Hello there! How the weightloss going? I am trying to get started... I'll take any tips from your year.
Great ideas! I live on the Mediterranean diet!
Thank you. I live on the Mediterranean Diet also.
#2 was a good tip. Never heard of that one
Having a daily routine is incredibly helpful!
U funny guy!! Dr. David Sinclair suggested the Mediterranean Diet for health and staying young and even to help reverse aging!! So here I am!👧🦋
Great video!
Thank you!
I enjoy learning from you. You don't make it complicated.❤😂😊
Is your weight loss class a live class? Thank you.
Took a hitus from MD..but infound your channel and going to start back again..thanks for the inspiration again
You are very welcome!
@@Mediterraneanliving are canned beans okay to use or do you need to use dry beans?
One of my biggest issues is snacking: I tend to be allergic to many fruit - never quite sure if it's a seasonal thing, pesticides? or something with histamines because it's on and off. But apples will give me a bit of a reaction most of the time. So quite often I will have nothing at all and be more than mild hungry or I often eat the wrong things. Do you have any advice on possible healthy snacks that do a similar thing? I appreciate your content! Thanks.
The ones that have worked for me were Kay Sheppard, Whole 30 and Keto. I lost 50 on Keto, but my new allergies to eggs and milk and peanuts, etc. took all my favorite Keto things away. I LOVE veggies and olive oil. :)
Thanks for the comment. Veggies and olive oil are the best. My definition of a successful diet: A diet where you lose the weight AND keep it off permanently.
I am confused about portions and losing weight. I also have food sensitivities to tomatoes, red peppers, black pepper so many of the diets include these, what do I substitute. Help!!
Intermittant fasting has really helped me. I basically skip breakfast. I fast for 16 to 18 hours and eat during a 6 hour window. It also helps the body to go into autophagy. That is when the cells clean up waste.
Diets haven’t been successful for me since age 12. I go up and I go down. I’m up now and liver enzymes are up so I need to follow Med. diet and just want to make a change that I can stick to forever. Trying to figure it out after all these years of yo- yoing and it’s hard mentally. My Dr said to lose 15 pounds. I’m 51 and I work out regularly.
Where do you buy your olive oil?
Hi Bill, I recently started the Mediterranean diet and came across your wonderful videos. Can you please send me the link to the mediterranean diet weight loss program? Thank you
Here you go! www.mediterraneanliving.com/mediterranean-diet-weight-loss/
Also, here is the code you can use at checkout to get 30% off: wl30
Hi Bill. I live in Canada. Is your weightloss program available to Canadians? The address section only shows US. Thanks!
Yes, you can take the weight loss program from anywhere in the world. Just skip over the address section.
Apple with miso on it is so good!
Do you use Miso paste??? Sounds odd ....but intriguing!
Thank you for these tips. I was on a medication that made me gain 9 kilograms. I got off the med last week and now I want to lose the weight again. I think the Mediterranean diet can help me. A little scared of the olive oil though. Should I keep track of calories?
The olive oil is actually one of the best ways to lose weight. Don't track calories unless you do it for a few weeks. I would cut back on any processed foods and a bit on grains like bread and increase olive oil.
@@Mediterraneanliving Ok, thank you so much. I will give it a try. How much olive oil should you eat per day when you are losing weight?
so helpful! thanks Bill
Glad you found it helpful.
Yes!
Which balsamic vinegar do you recommend?
One of my favorite brands is fiore. It is a bit expensive, but worth it.
I've been using these. Very helpful. Thanks. Can you do a video of some things you don't recommend when trying to lose or maintain weight loss that may not be so obvious. I'm not talking about the obvious refined sugar.
Hi Angela, Yes, will do that one as well!
What do you do when you go out to eat? My husband loves going out to eat comfort food.
We honestly don't go out to eat very often as we live in the middle of nowhere and because we have a 2 year old. I still find I can eat out Mediterranean or at least follow the basic guidelines. The trick is to get something that is good for you and will be tasty and will satisfy you. When I am traveling I use yelp to find great local Mediterranean places. The good thing about many of these places is that they also have serious comfort food that your husband could enjoy also.
Ask for a to go box up front and pack half his meal as soon as his plate arrives. He gets 2 meals to enjoy and doesn't eat enormous portions of high fat, high calorie, high salt food all at once. Order a side of steamed veggies or a salad too.
Same here
I do not make homemade breads...any store seed or whole grain real breads you can recommend for me?
Dave’s Killer Bread, Thin Sliced Power Seed 60 calories per slice 👍
Hi! 😊 Do we really need to hit certain target number of calories like example 1200 calories per day?
No. There is so much evidence now of why counting calories is not helpful for dieting.
@@Mediterraneanliving It's one of the reasons why I wanna stick with it
great
Weight loss needs a code for 30% off? What is the code?
I have been trying to contact via email with no success. I never received my cookbook I ordered in early May. I got my oil but no cookbook please reach out.
Hi Laura, The olive oil and the book are delivered separately. It looks like you received it yesterday. Just want to make sure you did!
Hari Hachi Bu how Do i know Thatcher in ate enought ? Thatcher contest is to abstrakt sorry!
Keto, whole30. I enjoyed whole30 but it was too expensive lol
Yes, eating well can be expensive. What I love about the Mediterranean Diet is that it can also be eaten on a budget.
Jesus I gotta grow up I thought he was talking bout the dance when I read floss
The japanese saying corresponds with the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) which he said 1400 years ago. He said fill your stomach with 1/3 water, 1/3 food and 1/3 air. He would never eat till full, only till satiated.
Sorry, but background music is highly annoying and makes it so hard to hear what you are saying.
❤❤❤
Starving myself in the past was never successful, nor was low fat and exercise. I find the more I exercise the hungrier I get. 😊
It is normal to get hungrier when exercising, but I still find it helpful for long term weight loss.
@@Mediterraneanliving Can you curb those hungry / nibbling habits with drinking water and if you MUST eat something because of other issues (PTSD, etc from childhod), perhaps cucumbers or watermelon? Both are practically all water anyway, right and don't have the fruit sugars that others might have? Just a thought.
Please tell me to lose 50 pounds
Please note this guy is marketing his product.
Oh Boy Improved Sex Drive!!!
The apple is worse than the candy bar! How many years was this made...
Apple worse than a candy bar?
If you have half a brain you’ll know snacks aren’t necessary
Sometimes they are. And if you need one, have some fresh fruit. 👍
@@phillipsmom6252 fruit, which of course is full of sugar…not a good idea for diabetics…nuts are a much better idea
