We must get out of the perspective that in Italy everyone knows how to cook, and that everyone always eats a lot of pasta. it's false. Yes, it's true, one dish of pasta a day in almost all families is used for lunch. But not everyone knows how to cook and especially as well as your wife. Trust me, she reproduces dishes in the original recipe in an exemplary way to envy Italian chefs, and I'm not exaggerating. it's really amazing. Each recipe he prepared made it better than 90% of the videos of Italian recipes on youtube. it is special

[@alessandromancuso7242]

Si, hai ragione, non tutti sanno cucinare bene come lei, ma qualsiasi italiano con più di 12 anni sa fare una pastasciutta decente... Lei è brava, anche per gli standard italiani, ma comunque anche l'italiano più scarso in cucina qualcosa si sa arrangiare, non come gli americani...

[@raffaeleirlanda6966]

In our family we all are (or were) capable to cook, my late mom was, dad is, my brother and me are, and at levels of those dishes in the video but I witnessed families where only the wife was capable to cook and the rest of the family depended entirely from her, i.e for example I had acquaintances with a family where only wife cooked for husband, son and daugther, with husband and son uncapable to even boil an egg. Seriously!

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

@@raffaeleirlanda6966 First,, Im old school i guess? I teach my daughter to cook all the dishes, just like all our ancestors did, she's a great cook, and good with sweets :) ,,,, Men should do the outside cooking, along with the son.

Ingredients matter ! In Italy you can eat out and throw stuff together and it'll be healthy. You can go to the store and buy real milk and cheese. You can buy dry goods etc. Even their street food is made with high quality ingredients. Also every Italian knows how to make pasta ..at least enough knowledge to feed their family.

You guys did Atkins, not keto! LOL You can (and should) actually eat a good amount of vegetables on keto (like leafy greens) and not so much protein, especially lean meats like turkey. Having said that, I love the edge of the video. You guys never fail to cheer me up!

[@nodezsh]

If you really messed up a keto diet by eating too much protein what happens is not cute. Keto is meant to force your body into using fat as its main energy source. This will also trick it into using the built up fat you have already on your body, so of course, you become thinner. But if the proportion of ingested protein is too high compared to the fat, it will instead make your body prefer protein as its energy source. In other words, it makes your body start eating away at its own muscle.

[@SheepAmongG.O.A.T]

Keto is just very low carbs and high fat. Lean meats aren't really part of keto. High fat meats are.

Atkins vs Keto…….BOTH diets goal is to put your body into ketosis. Keto people say more fats, but so does the Atkins diet. Keto diet is basically Atkins 2.0. The difference is the people doing the Keto diet wasn’t born when the Atkins diet came out.

[@giovanni-cx5fb]

@@GodGunsGutsandNRA Atkins doesn't keep you in ketosis because your body transforms excess protein into glycogen, which doesn't happen with fats.

Its the ingredients that matter most. Aby diet could be healthy or unhealthy depending solely on ingredients. Vegan food is some of the most processed. Oreos are vegan. It matters what you eat. Not how you eat. That goes for any lifestyle or diet. She was taught to seek out the freshest ingredients and make as much from scratch as possible. Her body is also functioning properly because she hasn't been poison since she was an infant. Her brain is not addicted to chemicals, sugar and toxic ingredients. Her gut is healthy is intact etc. .. You can not compare Italians to an American diet. Our carbs and food vary in quality. Its very hard to find equivalents here. She had access to fresh pasta, high quality oil, raw milk , local farm and buthchers. It was all fresh and local. Now, her options are limited but she knows how to cook using real ingredients..... her body craves and prefers those foods. Also Italians eat a lot veggies too. Its a lot of healthy ingredients along side the pasta . As Americans , most of our food is toxic. High sugar. High carb. So for us eating more carbs is over kill . Unless you watch what you eat. Its so much deeper than eating carbs . We also way over eat .

[@steviewang4102]

The keto diet was developed to treat epilepsy. Any diet can cause weight loss as long as calories are adequate. Countries with a heavy emphasis on carbs in their food (almost every Asian and Southern European country) are also less obese because they control portion sizes and walk more. It also helps that they have a large variety of vegetables in their diets which are low calorie but very filling thus helping with portion control.

[@lafurrina]

bravo

[@srishtiagrawal1217]

Absolutely! Variety is the key. Plus most "carb" sources when combined give a decent protein makeup.

[@Wuffskers]

Another thing that contributes is simple vs complex carbs. Complex carbs like what you find in rice, pasta, and bread typically are more nutritious, they help you feel fuller and they digest slowly. Simple carbs like sugar on the other hand don't make you feel as full and aren't as nutritious and will also spike your blood sugar quite quickly. You do get simple carbs in natural things like fruits and vegetables, but the amount of sugar in these things pales in comparison to the amount in cookies and cakes and other sweets. Not to mention in america we have a lot of added sugar in things where it really doesn't belong. Technically if you eat enough complex carbs you could still get fat but since those make you feel fuller quicker people don't eat as much of those. If you want to lose weight reducing your carb intake is probably the best strategy but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to go as extreme as keto and probably your best bet is targeting specifically simple carbs like sugar, and instead of cutting out entire food groups, what is by far the most reliable form of dieting across all types of diets is portion control rather than specifically singling out a "bad" food.

I just came back from visiting Rome for a week and tried keeping it at least "low-carb". That was easier than you might think. The usual plate of pasta is not that big (70-80 grams as a primo piatto).

BTW: I love your kitchen, Eva and Harper! And I am so waiting for a collaboration of "Pasta Grammar" and "Pasta Grannies"!

Notes to improve your keto experience from an Italian -> (you're going to feel hungry for a while) Coffee: Butter, heavy cream, or nothing (add stevia if you want some sweet) Breakfast: I don't usually have much, but A+ on that. Add some cheese to your eggs. If anything, make a little bit of veggie to soak up any of the yolk if you want. Snack: Almonds, a few macadamias, pistachios are okay along with one of those VT meatsticks is awesome If you're jonesing for a sweet, sugar free gum is great (but in very minimal amounts because it can add up) Meals: You can find some reasonable ketchups out there, but you gotta look. Beef is great for the fat content, but understandable. Make sure you add fat somewhere to that turkey burger. Avocado oil, butter, etc. Some cheese on top. Have a side of veggie (spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, side salad, fried cabbage in butter, etc.). Pasta alternatives are zucchini spirals, too, and just fry out the water (no additives), and then put in the sauce after it's dry. It'll be harderish. Spaghetti squash is an awesome choice, too. Potato replacements are turnips and rutabagas. I hear people talk about jicamas, but I've not had the experience with this. Deserts: Microwave chocolate cups (search for these), or peanut butter cookies. It's all about eliminating the SAD diet with minimal amount of movement. If you're already active, carbs do have a place, or you have to raise up the amount of food you're eating. Keto flu will hit you in the beginning once you hit ketosis. I did keto because of other circumstances involving my family medical history that concerned me, and I find times to enjoy things like pizza and pasta when it's worth it. Keep rocking out that "mangia pasta" diet, though! :)

[@jayy7754]

I kind of want them to do this again, but take food advice from other Italians like you who eat that way. This video was funny, but that might be more informative!

If you want to make 95%+ of the dishes on this channel and you're diabetic and/or on keto search on youtube 'viral keto noodle'.

Keto doesn't have to limit what you eat, but you do have to prep your base ingredients first.

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

Yeah, I've been keto for about 5 years now to reverse my Type II Diabetes (which it did and really turned my health around too). The weirdest thing was that I rarely ate sweets pre-keto (I have zero sweet tooth), but as an Italian-American, I ate A LOT of pasta (and rice and potatoes). And apparently that was what was jacking up my blood sugar, which was super-sad. Still, I use low carb pasta and some other keto pasta variations in moderation when I have a hankering, but it definitely doesn't taste as good as 'the real thing'. So, like you, I watch this channel to dream about all the carbs I can't eat. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I visit Italy next year. There might need to be some 'cheat meals'.

Go Italian..pasta forever!!!! Y'all look great no diets!!! Love y'all's video's thanks so much I'm hooked😊..pasta potatoes looked amazing 😋🤗

[@rhondacrosswhite8048]

I just love how when ONE person in the home decides to go on a diet, the entire family is expected to go along with their latest new diet fad. Oh, cooking bacon in the oven is the way to go. Heat oven to 350*. Place a rack (cooling rack) on top of a 9X14 an place strips of bacon on it. Bake until bacon is desired degree of doneness-floppy to extra crisp. When cooled, pour bacon drippings into your bacon grease jar and place in fridge until needed.

In England we cook bacon stripes under the grill.

The Pasta e Patate looks incredible! I have all the ingredients including parm rind in my freezer, so this will be dinner tomorrow! It would be great to have a printable option for the recipes on your website. Buon appetito!

I was expecting an actual Italian Keto friendly dish. I would have loved to have one. I have lost 100 pounds on Keto, it definitely works. I do miss carbs though. I wish I could eat your pasta potato dish, it looks delicious, as does all your recipes. I noticed a few newbie mistakes, I would have done things a little differently. I would have done a Spinach and Feta omelette or fritata for Breakfast. It's much more filling and would probably better suit your pallette. Paninos would be a snack Eva might enjoy more than the meat sticks, or they might disgust her LOL. Going light with a Turkey Burger is a bad idea. You want as much fat as possible, so a 70/30 beef burger would be better. I personally make my own "buns" with Almond flour, but they are nowhere near as good as the real thing. They do scratch that itch when you are sick of letttuce wraps though. Putting a slice of tomato on the burger is fine. While tomatoes aren't "low carb" the amount of carbs in a slice is not very high and will not hurt. Heinz makes a no sugar added ketchup that is low carb and can be used on your burger. Spaghetti Squash actually has too many carbs. I have a spiralizer and turn Zuchini into "zoodles" in addition to being lower carb, they have a more neutral flavor and will complement the sauce better. They will still mortify Eva though. There is no mistaking them for pasta. Lastly I would have had a small cup of berries with homemade whipped cream for desert. Blackberries, Strawberries, and Raspberries are all low carb. Anyway, I am fully aware that Keto is not for everyone, and I don't expect an Italian to stick to it. Keto worked for me, but everyone is different, and you just have to do whatever works for you.

I'm from Spain and she was very relatable to me wen she complains about eggs and bacon being more like a lunch than breakfast lol

[@dee_dee_place]

I make bacon in the microwave (so I don't get splattered with grease). I have a ridged/grooved dish that allows the grease to accumulate under the bacon. I lay the bacon strips on the dish, cover it with a paper towel, & microwave it for ~4-8 minutes until it is cooked the way I want it. I usually strain the liquid bacon fat & place it in a glass jar, so I can use it later in other recipes calling for bacon fat. It will stay good for a couple of days.

You’re incredibly lucky Eva didn’t stab you in the neck with her fork when you put the squash in front of her.

[@haroldsmith63]

[@dee_dee_place]

I think the squash spaghetti would have been better if they didn't put so much pesto on it, & served it as a side with some type of lean meat, eg: chicken or veal. That would have been keto friendly.

[@LilacDaisy2]

Darn, I was so hoping the dish Eva was going to make would give tips on doing keto with Italian flavours. Like a pizza with a base of sliced, roasted chicken breast (which I already do but would like to do better). Or a sugar-free tiramisu made with almond flour.

[@kyledonnelly8069]

Sugar free ketchup bro, tastes just fine lol also you're allowed cheese!!!

[@ericblack1127]

The healthiest way (least free radicals) to cook bacon is in the microwave. Wrap it in parchment paper and cook it around 2 minutes per slice. Cook it plus or minus 30 seconds depending on how crispy or juicy one wants it.

[@PastaGrammar]

Interesting! I’ll have to try that

[@no5x937]

For breakfast, try an Italian Sweet Sausage Frittata with Roma Tomatoes, fresh basil, mushroom, eggs and Pecorino Ramano grated cheese. Oh and BTW, they wouldn't feed that Keto Pesto spaghetti squash to prisoners! Bring on some Caccio di Pepe!

[@gratitudesageproject]

Frittata is not for breakfast in Italy. It's more of an American lunch or an Italian dinner.
