Mediterranean Keto Diet Meal Plan - What to Eat in a Day

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Perpendicular diets means that they intersect rather than run parallel. Mediterranean is regional & keto is macros, they INTERSECT at Mediterranean Keto. Full explanation of this in the into to Mediterranean Keto video here 👉🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKLFk4BtoN-jZrc

[@Adam-ff3me]

Is rice keto friendly

[@qdup17]

Did you see on Joe Rogan when Paul Stamets told Joe that there is something wrong with Portabellas . He couldnt say how cause his life would be in danger.. said they have to be cooked thoroughly but the #1 mycologist in world says do not eat.. you dont eat.. quick yt search will find a clip of it...???

[@jchinckley]

@@Adam-ff3me Rice is carbs, so probably not. Let's hope Thomas responds. I'm guessing the less refined it is, the better it will be, but you would still need fat & protein to go with it. I'd avoid it and other grains & tubers (like potatoes as they transform to sugars pretty quickly in the body), at least when first starting a Keto diet.

[@jchinckley]

@@qdup17 That makes little sense. Why would revealing any information about portabello mushrooms cause anyone or any organization to want to hurt or kill anyone? Sounds fishy & too conspiracy theory oriented. If you find a link please post it for us. Thanks!

[@jchinckley]

Yes. I, for one, would very much appreciate at least 1-3 recipes per week. Even if you just linked to them on your website. But a meal preparation video once a week or so would, I think, also help. Maybe you could make it a series, then once you have 10-30+ of them you could create a recipe playlist and just link to that in future videos when appropriate. :)

[@dan_e]

This is how you know that Thomas is legit. Instead of writing a book that he could have sold or hosting a new online program that you have to pay monthly to be a part of he puts it all out here for free to anyone that wants it. Thank you for your service to the community.

Look at Keto Goes Mediterranean

[@imnotadog]

did you try it? how did it go?

[@velindawm9987]

Yes! I have been saying I am doing a "ketoesque" eating plan because I could not/would not abandon complex whole foods and vegetables, not berries. The long-term effects of pure keto are NOT good, including kidney stones, got health and you Things knows far more details on that I am SURE. So this, THIS, is the happy answer. Thank you for this mashup of plans, Thomas. I will be earnestly awaiting all you have to offer on the science of how and why keto-mediterranean is great for the body, and also lots of recipes (there's a book in this topic, I'm sure) and meal plans such as this video. Thank you for this!

[@joshmaniates4299]

good choice!

[@lf8238]

You forgot the most important part of what makes a Mediterranean diet....well, mediterranean: the Herbs! Oregano, marjoram, thyme, sage, rosemary etc. They are what give the dishes flavor and keep you healthy! 🙂

[@JN-gh4hm]

Dry or fresh ones?

[@710LENNY]

@@JN-gh4hm Plant a lot of your favourite herbs in the spring. Use them fresh over the summer and fall and dry the excess harvest for use over the winter. You could make up small little parcels and freeze them. I have done this and it works okay, but I usually lose the packets in the freezer and only find them a year and a half later. Oh, and if you want a nice Italian herb blend, go to: Taste of Home for the herbs and ratios.

Don’t forget basil you can have pesto it’s all good for you ingredients you can sub walnuts for pine nuts

[@lynnettehardy4533]

One thing I still enjoy that my mother would do is steam a whole artichoke and serve it on a plate alongside a dish of EVOO with some crushed garlic and maybe some basil. You pull off the leaves, dip them in the oil, and then basically use your teeth to strip the meat off the leaf. And then you discard the leaf. Then once all the leaves are gone, you eat the heart. Some of her great grandparents actually came from Palermo.

[@dindinprivate3477]

We dipped the leaves in melted butter. :-)

[@mephemera]

Only way my mother would eat artichoke is dipped in oil vinaigrette. Simple and yummy. Enjoy!

[@laurieg.2018]

@@mephemera Try a few leaves of fresh mint. Delicious.

[@amyramos9229]

Yummmm

[@FreddyBlue-j5m]

I've recently replaced artichoke with heart if palm in salads they have a similar taste but heart of palm has better nutrition value. I like homemade vinegrette

[@sonny12681]

Speaking of a Mediterranean diet, I'm Sicilian on my mother's side and my father's side is from Bodi Italy. There's a popular dish from Sicily and Bodi and that is pasta with tuna fish that has capers, garlic, broccoli rabe, pine nuts and sun dried tomatoes. It's the most flavorful pasta dish I ever had.

[@CoachDarren]

Thomas Delauer I been doing alot of this without even knowing it was Mediterranean keto it's just one of the ways I eat on keto. Great info!

[@audiostuff9065]

Because it's just keto and he's trying to re brand it to become known as the Mediterranean keto guy. Its just being selective with your keto items, its no different than adding pasta in to your average american diet and calling it an Italian carb based diet lol.

[@crystalmichelle7119]

Thank you so much for this! I've fallen off keto after about 2 years because I'm sick to death of heavy eggs, oil and avocado being the focus in so many dishes, but this menu looks fresh and light and amazing! Thanks for putting so much work into it for us :) and yes please more recipes in this style!

This was so very clear cut and understanding of what the foods bring to our bodies. I love that you give a meal plan of two options.

[@hedylus]

FYI The Greek form of Ghee is called "Fitini". It's either a butter extract or an olive oil extract ;)

[@hedylus]

www.greekshops.com/Greek-Food-Cookware-Beauty/Baking-and-CookingNea-Fitini-Vegetable-Oil-Shortening-800-gr.html?pdi=061308200950

[@hedylus]

It looks like this Fitini is a modern evolution of the traditional Fitini which used to be made just from clarified butter or just from purified extra virgin olive oil.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I didn’t know there was an olive oil based ghee. Being a vegan I have never tried ghee, but I would consider an olive oil ghee.

[@hedylus]

I’m sure you can find the original Fitini (butter or olive oil) somewhere. My mother used to add it to spaghetti like butter and with a little black pepper with some grated hard cheese only. Nowadays most Greeks don’t use it, but for the die-hard Greeks who are insistent traditionalists, a fake crappy version is made which doesn’t cost much.

[@hedylus]

No. You misunderstand. Olive oil Fitini was made purely from olive oil and nothing else. Nowadays Greeks have stopped using Fitini except for just a few. Making the traditional Fitini, either butter or olive oil, was very expensive and would be astronomically expensive for just a few old folks. I don't know where to get traditional Fitini nowadays, but if it were made, it would have an international market. Instead.now, a substitute Fitini is made to cater for those few die-hards who insist on cooking with "Fitini". It looks smells and tastes similar, but is made from very different ingredients.

[@EarthMagicTemple]

Hi Thomas! I never leave comments but wanna say a couple things: first, THANK YOU for paying attention to the effect of keto/fasting on women and coalescing that research for us in an understandable way. I hope you will continue to do videos like that. Second, I grew up b/w Morocco/Italy and ate "mediterranean" diet all my life! I wanna let you know that you overlooked the vitally important role of HERBS & SPICES! Meals from these regions of the world are also looked at synergistically, and not in their component parts. For example, a meal is based around how the vegetables/proteins/fats and herbs/spices will work together in the dish in terms of flavoring...anyway I love ur work and was so excited for this video! But just wanted to add this tidbit in.

[@JZBxTrip]

Great selection of food, being Greek myself I really enjoyed watching Mediterranean Meal Plan that make some sense. Just one thing. I see you mention avocados a lot. In Greece and I bet in Italy and Spain, avocado is not something we have. It is actually imported and quite expensive (sometimes one avocado is like 3 dollars). Giving the fact that here it's like a shame to buy one or two fruits and its price of course, we rarely use this fruit. It's more of a lifestyle choice these days. So, instead we use olive oil. We put olive oil EVERYWHERE. And honestly I think is enough for our daily fat intake. Of course if in the states olive oil is very expensive and avocado very cheap, it's different. Anyway, I wanted to mention that avocado is not a medi choice. Oh. An something else. In Greece in particular we eat lots of meat. And, I can tell, grilled pork stake with lots of lemon juice on it (well done) is our favorite. Very fatty, not the healthiest thing but we love it dearly.

[@konniemichelakis7697]

I absolutely Love the Greek foods! I'm all Greek but born in Crete, Greece/ raised in U.S.A.

[@albadiaz408]

yep, that's what we do in spain with olive oil too

[@NumberSixAtTheVillage]

I'm sure you can find places online to buy avocado seeds or sprouts. Sounds like your climate would be perfect for growing them. Ask a local farmer if they might be interested in a crop that would make great money in Greece.

Thanks Thomas. I was looking forward to this after your first video about Mediterannean Keto. I'm from The Bahamas and this is giving me some ideas about how to adapt locally grown foods. You can also say there is a lot of "perpendicular" aspects to what's available in tropical regions also. We have a lot of fresh fish here and generally we buy straight from the fisherman at the dock and not so much from the grocery story. Snapper, Mahi, Bonito Tuna, Mackerel etc. Really wonderful video.

I got COVID in September...which left me afflicted with A-Fib. I'm seeing an electrophysiologist, and on meds, but I'd like to avoid an ablation. According to everything I'm reading, the Mediterranean Diet is what is recommended for A-Fib and other arrhythmias, but I know the Keto diet works best for my body...that and intermittent fasting...and et voila...you incorporate all of them into this plan. My goal is to drop 10% of my body weight...which is what they say will get rid of the A-Fib. What do I have to lose by trying? This is driving me crazy because I've always been healthy.

Great video. But ... as someone who makes their own hummus .... please do NOT dilute with mayonnaise. Honestly, there are much better options. Dilute with olive oil. Or lemon juice and olive oil. Or just some water. But the avocado sounds delicious too. Just not mayonnaise.

I am interested in hearing more about keto/med. Thanks for this one! I started on KETO after a hospitalization from a fall. I suffered a concussion and was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My doctor, nutritionist and health coach at the health clinic I go to all highly advised against KETO, so I promised them I would use it as a intervention and would then transition to a Mediterranean diet. Within three months of KETO my A1c was in normal range and my doctor thought I had been taking meds though I had not. I also believe that KETO with the high fat was very helpful for my brain recovery. More about KETO/Mediterranean diet is exactly what I have been looking for.

Combos of keto ingredients and where to “cheat” in moderation to make the diet practical is super valuable content that I search for. (Your efficient how/why explanations on each piece puts your video at the top of my list). I wouldn’t make boring cooking videos that KZbin is flooded with; but telling us what ingredients to put together to hit macros, tasty meal options because it is hard to be creative etc and then quickly showing the how like the asparagus in this video is killer content.

0:43 - just saw my hometown, amazing ). At least 3 people are doing keto there (2 years myself), although food options and quality are poor and should not be considered as Mediterranean / European. local fish, lamb, goat cheese are rare but of good quality.

[@TexasScout]

Totally agree this is the healthiest diet you can eat. The problem is it’s so expensive. People wonder why so much junk food is consumed in the US, it’s because it’s so cheap, people can’t afford to feed their families anymore. I have tried very hard to source quality meats and fish, if they are double sometimes triple the price of most average cuts, I can’t afford it. With hamburger is four dollars a pound and grass fed grass finished hamburger is nine dollars a pound, I just can’t justify the price difference. One last little thing, olive oil based mayonnaise, I have yet to find one on the shelf anywhere around me the canola oil is not the first ingredient
