Hi. I am a nutrition student who also has an autoimmune disease. You may already know this, but just in case you didn't or one of your viewers doesn't, I just want to state that the Mediterranean diet actually refers to an eating pattern that is based off of what researchers observed being consumed in the Mediterranean after doing a very famous study known as the "7 Countries Study." A Mediterranean eating pattern typically exhibits the following qualities: 1) It's high in things like whole fruits, vegetables, including legumes, grains, and nuts & seeds; 2) The primary fat used is olive oil, which is high in monounsaturated fat. (When people talk about healthy fats, monounsaturated fat is one of the fats they are referring to. If you want to incorporate a neutral cooking oil into your repertoire in addition to olive oil, avocado oil is also rich in monounsaturated fat and has shown some promise when it comes to research related to inflammation.); 3) It includes a low to moderate amount of animal protein, such as eggs, poultry, and fish. (Red meat is consumed less frequently than other animal proteins; think like once a month, if at all.); 4) Sweets, or foods with added sugars, are limited. (Think like a weekly treat or so.), & 5) Cheese and yogurt are eaten in moderation. (Note: While yogurt and cheese can be included as a part of the Mediterranean diet, I think it's also important to know that dairy products can trigger symptoms in some people with autoimmune disease. I think one of the key takeaways from this aspect of the eating pattern is the importance of consuming foods rich in probiotics/calcium, and these don't have to be dairy-based. Additionally, the original eating pattern also discussed consuming wine in moderation, but we are starting to see that no amount of alcohol may actually be safe. Alcohol is considered to be a toxin. Fresh berries and the fruits that wines are typically made from already contain phytochemicals, or "plant chemicals," that may offer health benefits.) The elements of this eating pattern can also be applied to other cuisines as well, such as Korean Food, Soul Food, Mexican Food, etc. While eating cuisines that originated in the Mediterranean can be an enjoyable experience, just know that you do not need to limit yourself to these cuisines. Also note that some people with autoimmune disease may report reacting to certain foods, or certain foods may trigger their autoimmune disease symptoms, such as products made from cows' milk, and/or certain nightshade vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and grains, especially those containing gluten. It might benefit some people to work with a dietitian to help figure out which foods trigger their symptoms, as this may involve the person eliminating certain foods/categories from their diet and then adding them back in and documenting how their body reacts to each food. A dietitian can make sure that you are still meeting your nutrient needs during this process. Lastly, the way in which you prepare food also matters. For example, fried foods tend to be associated with increased inflammation. And soaking and rinsing legumes may help reduce compounds in them that certain people may be sensitive to. Sorry for writing so much, but diet seems to be really important when it comes to dealing with an autoimmune disease, so I just wanted to share a bit of information. I follow a slightly modified Mediterranean eating pattern myself. I hope this was helpful.

That’s very interesting, thank you for sharing❤

This needs to be pinned 📌📌📌

[@perpetualexploring]

Thank you so much

[@lutrellmiguel1922]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏾.

[@daniellealongi6084]

I’m a registered dietitian and I highly recommend speaking to one. I work with a very diverse patient population and it’s important to acknowledge that nutrition tells us “Eurocentric” cuisines (like Italian) are seen as the “standard for health” which make it sound superior when it’s rooted in racism. No one wants to be told their cultural foods aren’t valid or aren’t healthy. There are many patterns of eating that can be health promoting. I’m Italian and I can tell you we eat many things that people wouldn’t consider healthy. For the nutrition student, while nutrition is important, it’s essential to recognize there are social determinants of health that contribute to health, and nutrition is only a very small factor that doesn’t always improve someone’s health. People in these countries might live longer due to genetics, less stress, healthcare and so much more.

[@lisadawson2652]

Matt doesn’t even try to be funny it just comes naturally 😂😂😂and I’m cracking up at the things he says 💙

[@jabaribentley3798]

God Bless Matt Praying for you and Glory!!!! Everyone is rooting for you!!!!

[@slicenrice]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

It’s so good to see Matt again 🥹❤️🙏🏻

[@patriciamaierson6500]

It is always a joy watching you two. Matt, it sounds like you’re moving forward in a positive direction with your diagnosis and game plan. I’m sure there are days, but seeing you both being so willing to try new things that may help you overall is great. Blessings and know you have a committed community keeping you in prayer.

[@Templemind777]

im a greek cypriot and i love the fact that you guys are trying the mediterranean cuisine and willing to involve it in your diet soo even tho the food in this video is a mixture of greek and arabic cuisine i am more than happy to share some traditional cypriot recipes we eat in our day to day life which is nutritious and simple to cook😊🙏

[@Icywinter166]

It’s not Greek food haha it’s Lebanese get it right 😂😂😂

[@vedac.9288]

Happy to see you smiling Matt. You are covered in prayer. 🙏🥰🙏🥰

[@sederiadijon9774]

We Love you Matt !! We’re all praying for you 🙏🏾 you got this 💪🏾

[@jus.zayzay]

I pray that Matt will be healed in Jesus' name and may God continue to bless you all and your family🙏

[@savedbygracesavedbygrace8308]

Praying for you Matt and the whole fam. You guys are an example of Gods love! And your testimony continues to grow.

[@chelseabarker5108]

It was good to see both of y’all in a video together again. I do like Glory’s cooking videos but it’s nice to see you both laughing and having a good time 😊

[@odhiamboagnesmoureen5347]

I first started watching you guys in 2020 during COVID-19 after I stumbled on a video at a time when I was in so much pain and needed a distraction. I remember I laughed till I cried and knew I had to immediately subscribe. I thought Matt was funny and adored Glory's laugh. I am so glad to see the family growing 🙏 and I am so sorry Matt for the challenges you're currently experiencing. May God carry you all through this time and grant you healing Matt. It's so good to see you back. I love the energy and you guys still hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for lighting up my days.

[@angel12319823]

I appreciate your videos and positive vibes so much. It's always a joy to watch the channel. Also, I like your hair, Matt. Have a blessed day, and you're in my prayers.

[@laurenjarvis-gibson4972]

We all love you guys! Prayers for you Matt. Sending y'all my love.

[@lynsater600]

Im Lebanese and I'd like to thank you for trying our food. First, the meat shawarma is best with the tahini sauce, onions, tomatoes and pickles. I prefer the chicken shawarma sandwich. If you like falafel, try the falafel sandwich 🤤. In regards to the kabob platter, that looked soooooo good! The yellow color is from the spice turmeric. I recommend you try the chicken kabob dipped in the garlic sauce.. that is bomb! The maamoul looked good, I recommend the walnut one. Finally, the yogurt drink, that is an aquired taste, I don't like it much either 😂. Good luck on your Mediterranean diet quest. ❤

[@bangtansoney_ddaeng2861]

I am so glad to see Matt up and smiling, we love you guys and take your time ❤

[@Beshashem]

I cried watching that diagnosis video but I’m so happy seeing you two smiling. So deserving of good things.

[@Netti_M]

Matt! You cut your hair! You both look great! Food looks good too! Blessings ❤

[@shavoneharris9154]

I have m.s as well I got diagnosed at 28 I’m 34 I’ve been subscribed to you two for years. Y’all always have me cracking up! 💪🏽 y’all got this

[@shes.an.angler]

I moved from MD to CA 2 years ago, and I honestly miss the Greek food. Your videos bring me that little bit of DMV I need in my life ❤ Glad to see Matt so upbeat! Wishing you good health and happiness

[@shinurozario9212]

[@kariquigley3817]

Prayers for Matt and the family ❤❤❤

[@johnnyfells888]

Great seeing you both. So happy for Matt making diet changes.

[@Hyperchick10hg]

Love you guys, but watching you eat falafel without dipping it in tzatziki sauce made me wanna cry. Also Cava and Roti are gonna be your best friends if you want more affordable healthy Mediterranean food ❤ I wish you luck moving forward and will be keeping your family in my thoughts!

[@slicenrice]

Knew it was missing something!😭 and thank you!❤️

[@adithyashanil18]

When I see that yogurt drink and when you guys describe it being salty the only thing that comes to my mind is a Laban, which is supposed to be salty it is usually drank while eating meals because it helps to digest properly. It's like a probiotic drink. It's excellent and I do recommend everyone to try it at least once, it made me so happy to actually have you guys try my favorite childhood drink.

[@tammysoto9682]

A wonderful start....as now I'm interested to try.... only had a gyro, a verrrryyy long time ago... Thanks!!! Great video.. Good to see you Matt!!

[@BreezeAntix0922]

I didn’t expect us to get a video so soon! Let’s gooo! Love you guys ❤❤❤

[@heatherorwig4565]

I found your channel in 2020 when I was sick with we now assume was long term Covid. No one could ever tell me. But as I was having the worst headache I’ve ever had I found your channel and have continued to binge watch every time I’m sick or feeling awful ❤️

[@meligarcia332]

So glad to see you enjoying some of the Mediterranean food 😊

[@dam8760]

Glory's "oh no no" for the yogurt drink took me ouuuuut. 😂 14:21

[@jessicadorado1384]

Best wishes and Prayers for Matt's health. Glory, watching Eric Berg, Ken Berry, and especially Robert Lustig helped me learn so much about nutrition and improve my health. The reason that diets like the Mediterranean diet, the keto diet, the Paleo diet, and the vegan diet all have great results helping people improve their health is because it forces the majority of the diet to be whole, unprocessed foods. As long as the focus is on whole unprocessed foods, I bet Matt's MS can stay in remission. I only say this because I feel like a lot of people set themselves up for failure when trying to be too restrictive with a new diet. That's why I find following simple rules like keeping 90% of the diet whole foods to be so incredibly helpful. Blessings to you and your family.

[@kaylarnelson3285]

9:34 "Mary had a little man?" Had me laughing out loud!!!

[@CJ-xg6ii]

So happy to see Matt and looking very well! Congrats on taking good care of your health and doing great with the diet changes. Love what I’ve tried of Mediterranean food. Always feel great after eating it as opposed to bloated, etc. like with the majority lot of other take out food. Was literally thinking the same thing that the falafel was like a healthy hush puppy.😊

[@shelomis5255]

Slice needs to dance more!! He a vibe 🕺🏾

[@lafimelo]

Please try Palestinian recipes! They're super healthy and meal prep friendly. Wishing y'all many more happy shared meals. Pita on the Plaza in Bethseda, Maryland looks wonderful! Ask for Norma. :) If you're up to trying to make your own dish, I'd recommend making fattoush salad.

[@J.C.1]

😊Sounds yummy 😋

[@lisaallen4475]

Thank you for the laughs this morning. I’ve had a pretty rough time these past few weeks. I about spit out my coffee at that Big Bird comment! Hahahahaha

Gloria, you are an amazing woman, wife, and mother. Keep up the good work. I've been wanting to try this Mediterranean diet. Thanks for showcasing it. I will try it, and it doesn't seem expensive when made at home. Blessed Be.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

👊🏽💥 Prayers up Matt.. Love your hair cut too. Mediterranean foods are sooo good ! I traveled abroad a few years ago and had nothing but Mediterranean foods, I kinda' had no choice.. It's just alot of prep time to make certain meals, but worth it in the end to lavish your taste buds and enjoy.. Glad you liked the foods Glory picked out.. Such a healthier way of cooking. 😂😂😂 Glory should've tried the falafel with the tahini sauce.. 👑 God got you both Matt & Glory.. Continue to feel better. & Stay tough Matthew 📖🛡⚔💪🏽the enemy is DEFEATED IN THE NAME OF 👑JESUS CHRIST.. AMEN !

[@jasmineal-ghazzawi2058]

I saw the yogurt drink in the beginning and couldn’t wait to see yalls reaction… my dad always drinks it… it’s basically salty watery plain yogurt … never been a fan growing up with it so I applaud you guys for trying it… tried it once as a kid and said never again 😅

[@godsbabeborn-again5945]

It's gonna be great when you find food that taste good in the Mediterranean diet. Go Slice n Rice! We're rooting for you. Eating healthy is not easy but it's possible. 💪
