Adorable!

As a greek watching this from greece, yes, we have the healthiest diet. but we don't even follow this. LOL Is american culture that bad that you are so religious about this diet?

Bread…what type and brand is the best to use?

But the wheat they’re using is prob not the same wheat used in the US! That’s why they’re thinner, and we’re not! :(

But you don't have diabetes,today my fasting blood suger is 230

For a snack from time to time it greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese with wheat germ and black pepper.

👍

I am trying to get into the medi diet. So far I only eat poultry and fish as my main source of protein. I very rarely eat red meat(only on special occasion) and I substitute white rice with sweet potatoes.

I just realized my most intuitive way of eating is the Mediterranean diet. I love lemons, veggies, potatoes, and pasta. I don’t drink very often though.

"If you go to Italy and order spaghetti and meatballs," lol. This is ridiculous; you don't know what you are talking about. No Italian in their right mind would serve you meatballs with spaghetti. This is an American dish.

Your music is a little annoying, it’s hard to hear you speak

Sa siki is the way to say this

It’s just that 45 years old seems very young can this be correct that we are basing the longevity effects of the Mediterranean diet based on a life expectancy of 45 years old? 1958-64: Ancel Keys, the U.S. physiologist and his observations lead to the 7 countries study. He found that the typical dietary pattern of Crete in the 50’s and 60’s was associated with good health and the lowest rates of heart disease by far even though they consumed high amounts of fat, mainly in the form of olive oil. In 1961 the life expectancy of a Greek at the age of 45 was higher than any other country according to data from the Word Health Organization.

Old age is not actually a cause of death not specifically so I’m wondering what were they dying of in their old age as it seems you mean heart disease was not at all prevalent on the island. Old age possibly means opportunistic infections and poor immune function or heart failure? Also I saw on a study that the age of death was 45 is this correct as it seems very low for the 1950s-1960s in Crete

Can we use extra virgin olive oil for cooking ?

Which deit is good for diabetes?

This is very helpful. I love the simplicity of the Horta

Your videos are great. Your website is AMAZING!! I hope everyone has a chance to check out those recipes. Who knew?? Thank you for what you do!! 😀 I hope everyone punches the "Thanks" button and puts a couple of bucks in the tip jar for you.

Bill, really valuable work. Worthy of a tip. Even just a couple of bucks in the ol' tip jar. The tip jar is the "Thanks" button under your videos. I hope everyone smashes that "Thanks" button and leaves you a couple of bucks. We've got kids scooping ice cream and getting as much. I think you're doing much more. Bravo!

✅️ I been eating that way whole my life without knowing is a number 1 !!!

Oh, man! The lentil thing and the slow cooker chicken! Thank you for the ideas!

Bill, nice work. I just subscribed because I'm looking for some simple, clean eating... and you have it. I even would have "put a couple of bucks in the tip jar" if you had a "Thanks" button added to your channel. I know you are doing this from your heart but I'm soaking it up for MY heart. Please research how to monetize because your work is worth a tip at least. All my best to you and yours for continued good health, peace, and prosperity, Murph

I thought he was going to make these dishes. I'm disappointed.

Can’t afford to try this

How long do olives last in the fridge in an open jar? The packaging says to consume within like 2-3 days, but how are you gonna do that with a litre or two of olives?

I got all excited about signing up and then saw USD ..on conversion it's nearly $300aud...being on a pension, it's just a bit too high

Sounds like a delicious way of eating, and vegetables are so good for you. But eggs and all food from an animal contains cholesterol.

A Video with dishes for someone who is histamine, lactose, fructose intolerant and allergic to olive oil would be very helpfull.

As a typical unhealthy American many of the ingredients are unfamiliar to me, I haven't been exposed to seeds, will have to learn about how to cook beans. How is 40 percent of the diet Olive Oil? Do people just drink Olive Oil? I can't even be sure the EVO in my local grocery is actually EVO, it could easily be a Chinese fake.

Thank you for the tips, I hope to start this diet soon. I don't normally drink alcohol, but maybe I'll start having a bit of red wine with dinner for the health benefits. I'm unsure about grape juice since it's probably loaded with sugar.

34:50 i see Ikaria: Food and Life in the Blue Zone by Meni Valle. Not the same, I assume. How many Ikaria cook books are there?

I live the Mediterranean diet, my whole life ❤️🇮🇹🐎

I don’t really think $10 a day is eating on a budget 😅

Hi, What to drink early morning and wha to eat for skin glowing?

Is whole grain bread healthy??$$😊

Hi im from middle east my question is can i eat Iranian food on Mediterranean diet ??$$😊

I love the part where someone tried to correct him “is misperceptions a word”? 🤣

19:14 I remember when my girl friend made broiled peppers, they were literally floating in olive oil 😅

10:14 Beans beans, they're good for the heart. The more you eat, the more you fart. The more you fart, the better you feel. So eat your beans, with every meal.

Sorry to break it to you... but spaghetti and meatballs was created in America by poor Italian immigrants who had to feed a large family. They don't eat that in Italy

Yes

Best channel for Mediterranean diet! I am Greek I eat all this food you recommend every day along with Greek saffron and mastic thank you I also learned new recipes

I spent some time in Sicily and the cuisine was out of this world. I didn't have any kind of meat for the duration of my time there. Actually, I didn't even realize it until I came back to the USA. I ate A LOT, probably more than I eat here in the States. I've tried following the Mediterranean diet a couple of times, and I always got bored of it or got frustrated with it. I realize now that the problem is that the idea of "dieting" (at least here in the USA), is really focused on restricting yourself. Every time I tried a diet, I restricted myself and stopped myself from enjoying certain foods simply because they are labeled "bad." This video reminded me of my experience in Italy. I didn't have to restrict myself, and I never once thought about certain foods being bad. I ate pasta, bread, lots of cheese, and lots of olive oil. Sure, 95% of what I ate was made from vegetables and fruit. But still, I never felt like I was dieting or restricting myself. I was my healthiest during my time there. I also realize that living in the USA, especially in my city, makes being healthy difficult. You are so consumed with work and the stress of this economy. I wish there were more green spaces in my city, and wish I actually felt safe enough to walk by myself as a young woman. In Sicily, I felt safe and comfortable. I felt motivated to walk and be active, probably because the culture is a very active one. People are always moving, people are always out and about. People enjoy the landscape, the food, the cultural festivals. I'm not saying this is impossible in the USA. Of course you can be healthy, lots of people are. However, it's not the same for all of us. Some of us really need motivation, not from people, but from our environments.

Can you do this diet if you hate fish? I’ll like chicken so can I substitute chicken for fish?

I dont think Mediterranean diet is right for me. I looove my American foods too much, butt I'm open to try anything, and Ill gladly add some of these meals into my meal planning. Especially any meals that involve eggs.

I've been a vegetarian since 2005 and have switched over to Mediterranean this month. I can't imagine getting only 2.5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. I typically get at least 12-15 a day, even after starting a Mediterranean diet. I can easily get 6-7 servings in one smoothie. Americans must be seriously constipated. Wow
