46 pounds down!!! This diet is a lifestyle. I put this and my diabetic rules together. No alcohol. LOW carb not no carb, no sugary treats only on special occasions.(birthdays , holidays) and no fast foods
How do I know when to eat? I go not feeling hungry at all then out of nowhere I get so hungry that I feel sick, dizzy, get a headache and such… Idk how to fix that…
Thank you so much for the information, but also for the positive attitude! It really helps me.
As an Italian..it’s absolutely a great sensible diet !!!
Unfortunately, it will not stop the progress of heat disease.
Just found your channel n subscribed. What about Apple Cider Vinegar in water?
Wait did you say wheat 3 times a day?! I've been eating salad with feta and nothing else but still can't seem to lose weight. Seriously today all I ate was 5 vegetables fried in evoo. And this is common for me. Most days I eat omad. Why am I still fat?!
It's so strange. I'm eating half the calories I was last year while exercising regularly and there's no change at all in 3 weeks. If I eat junk and hardly move I weigh 16 stone. When I eat high vegetable and low gi fruit Mediterranean diet I'm 15 stone. I'm not overeating at all. And I've been fasting 5 days of the month but even a 48 hour water fast dud nothing to my weight! I'm so tired all the time and nothings changing!
Do all Meditteranean people today always eat the traditional diet? The urban people don't eat fast food like McDonald's or KFC? If by "Meditteranean diet", you mean traditional non-industrial food, isn't any and every traditional diet all over the world, healthy? Even those cultures in extremes environments, like in the artic , where vegetables, fruits, and nuts don't grow, so they pretty much have to eat meat, sometimes raw. I bet they are healthy with their traditional diet. How about the Masai people who drink blood? Look, there is nothing special about Meditteranean diet; all traditional, non-ultraprocessed diets are good all over the world. The reason why people make a big deal about the Meditteranean diet is because Americans can make the transition fairly easily, if time and money allow it. For me, who is Asian, to eat bread, cheese, almonds, salads, olive oil, and drink wine, is impossible. Look, every traditional diet in every culture is healthy. You have to eat what you grew up on, what your mom fed you. You just have to, sort of, reinvent the wheel and make your mom's diet healthy, if it wasn't healthy, to begin with. So if I say traditional Korean food is healthy, are you, an American, going to ditch your mom's diet and eat Korean food, wholesale? The same goes vice versa.
New subscriber here…I am coming back to my roots growing up in a Sicilian house…as an adult gained some fat & went keto/low carb lost 80lbs but miss my family foods. I am back to eating beans, bread, fruit & cheese with lots evoo…haven't gained a lb.
This is what I have been doing and have been losing slowly at a healthy rate-working on the no taking seconds and if I do have seconds- I take half of what I used to. Loved this helpful and inspiring video Bill!
I love to see a channel that is promoting a healthy balanced way of eating based on the habits of real people. Seems like everywhere I turn people are promoting vegan or carnivore diets, neither of which I believe in.
I've been following your advice on the Mediterranean Diet for a few weeks now and my husband and I both feel great. We started for health reasons but I have only lost 1 pound so far but that's because I have not limited my bread or wine. Now I will start doing that. Thank you for your well thought out videos. Sharing to my FB page.
Italian here, actually we eat everything, especially never limit pasta (we limit portions not frequency of consumption) , we always eat olive oil but not in the impressive quantities you show in the videos: usually, even as dressings, we use 1 max 2 teaspoons. Also we eat frequently and never do huge meals unless it’s a family or friends gathering, and for the rest we frequently snack on fruit as you said but also small quantities of nuts. For the rest it’s all about portion control and eating what US and UK consider “bland” meals ( for example even the famous chef Gino in reality changes the recipes to adapt them to uk taste so much that his restaurants in Italy never took off and even failed if I remember correctly) as we really eat traditional dishes only at restaurants and family meals.
How do I modify it to build muscle
Love the videos, is there any way to get your cookbook in Canada?
Hello. Do you have any suggestions on a Mediterranean vegetarian cookbook? Love your channel. 👍
I have been on a Mediterranean diet, 1200 cal diet for about a year. I have lost 70 lbs. I have lost weight consistently every time I weigh myself and I am in the over 60 crowd! The one thing I struggle with is olive oil is encouraged, however, it is high in calories. What are your thoughts about olive oil?
The carb modified Mediterranean diet is also good for hypothyroidism.
Great video! I've started using several of the strategies you talk about here and my energy level and clarity of mind are much improved! Thank you.
I am so blessed to have come across your videos! Now where may I find a good Mediterranean food book like recipes ?
I was wondering if having roasted sunflower seeds is ok, because I have a fatty liver as well? BTW I really appreciate your time and effort to make this video.
Excellent video! Can’t wait to suggest your video and these tips to my friends and family looking to shed a few pounds. Thank you! 🙂
