Now we need a recipe/cooking video from Pietro!

[@quanwick4516]

Italian pizza/pasta are healthier than American highly processed pizza/pasta so I definitely approve of this message

[@tulioramirez1293]

Also prob eats a normal amount not a mile high piece of pie too with a jug of coke

[@mexicanboy92840]

Any food in any other country is healthier than American food.

[@johnolin]

I went to Italy recently and ate so much pasta and I barely gained weight or felt bloated. Once I returned to the US, the food hit me like a brick. Bloated all the time, gained weight. The food quality here is definitely sub-par. Home-cooked meals is the best option you have. However, the quality of the ingredients here can't be trusted either.

[@oscardaone]

Exactly. Most Americans don’t realize or neglect to remember that their food is processed.

[@sulwhaclinic]

I’m totally agree

[@manholejump]

Pietro, such good advice about Italian foods. As an American Italian, my mother used to make us homemade pizza. Thank you for the reminder.

[@fizeekpoaster]

Tradition and quality... was very glad to see your reasonings and conclusions for eating this way.

[@Jusell]

Professor Boselli: thanks for sharing your wisdom with us 💐

[@mariasophia383]

The way he explained it in such simple & scientific way at the same time .& In short concise way , just bravo great content as usual 👏👏👏

[@alexisplaisted8834]

Most sensible explanation! Well said. Genuine and well articulated. Everything makes so much sense! Thank you!

[@CristianIntriago_]

The goat pietro is back!! Love your content you inspire a young engineer student gymbro

[@xilef8322]

Id love to see you make sourdough bread, we def need a tutorial!

[@normaldays-]

👍

[@robertbarber1864]

I love this nutritional video Pietro🌟!!! You always bring it all together so perfectly!!! And I agree totally that balance and enjoyment are essential❤. Thanks so much for all that you do🥰!!!

[@Victoria-el3kr]

thank you so much for making things clear and easy to understand. A couple of years ago I got pulled into the keto and anti-carb scene where i ended up being afraid of eating any carbs, unhappy, and filling my diet with low carb but super processed foods which is in fact even worse. Only after i started being more open minded and questioning if all of this is really true, i started to slowly fix my poor eating habits and becoming healthier and happier. Sadly, there is still so much never ending contradiction on the internet when it comes to food and diet and people still want to make you believe that any form of carb, even if its from a fruit, is terrible for you so I'm so thankful that you took the time to film these videos to help out the average confused internet person just trying to be healthy.

[@jamesk8s1]

Thank you, hugs and gratitude!! 👍

[@christobethbatistil798]

Thank you Pietro…I am your ultimate fan here in the Philippines ❤️🙏🏻

[@iamluc1]

Keep up the good work! You are such a great inspiration for me

[@willgoins218]

The standard of Italian food quality for the basic ingredients of flour, tomato, cheese is higher than in the US. Not compromising your gut bacteria is an advantage

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

Pietro redux

[@TaylorB4Life]

Something to keep in mind. The grains and produce in Italy aren’t genetically modified whereas they are here in the US. The dairy in Italy is often not pasteurized either. I can eat whatever I want in Italy and not gain weight. I eat the same foods here in the US and I feel sick and gain weight.

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

I don't think anyone in America would approve of unpasteurized milk. why do you think toxic milk is superior. By your reasoning we would have to eat in a barn with a cow if we wanted some milk.

[@holger_p]

People often don't realize the Italian serving size. It's usually much smaller than in fast food places. Pizza is very thin, Pasta often is just a starter, a small serving aside a no carb main course.

[@caiorobs]

I tried whole grain flour and similars, my body doesn’t accept it. The main goal is what you said: maintain the food as simple, as not processed as you can + respect what your body accepts the best. Cheers !

[@Uyhn26]

Precisely! All in moderation. Often than not, your body "tells" you what you need, unless you are addicted. I've never restricted my diets on speicifc things and I always have a better physique than most people around me who constantly talking about diets and such. It's not that you shouldn't focus on what you eat, but don't be excessive on thinking aboslute good and bad in your food. They each has their own benefits.

[@leovaccari2604]

I am glad you keep posting yt videos, keep up the work Pietro

[@brendarudman8806]

I listen to anything and everything Piętro says because he has a high intellect,has common sense and thinks !

[@endresac369]

you decided to come back to KZbin! thanks man

[@CaptainSEGA]

Excellent video dear Pietro, thanks for the content. Brother you are the best model and fitness guy in the world. I'm your doctor biggest fan from Ecuador 👨🏻‍⚕️🇪🇨, successes brother, greetings from south America...👋🏻

[@diec1290]

So nice to see he hasn't lost his Italian accent ❤

[@mrki731]

LOVE it!!! Could you please show us recipes on how you make pizza dough or sourdough? And then recipes in general please? Thanks!!!

[@gx92muc]

exactly my opinion, thanks for this balanced approach, this calms my mind a bit about all those ddiet reccomendations

[@franciscojavierriverohidal7522]

I really appreciate your videos about nutrition Pietro. Can you give us some resources that you have use to know more about traditional diet like book recommendations or so? Thank you in advance!

[@UchihaxStudios]

What a sensible human being, a rare find on youtube. I agree with everything you said.

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

Am I the only one here that looks at his body? Watches his eyebrows? Has knowledge of why he is famous? And for what reason? I was eating New York pizza before Pietro was born. I think that New York was serving pizza before Italy was serving pizza. We do have bread and hand cut noodles freshly baked using the world's best ingredients but we do draw the line at serving buttermilk with meals.

[@pat750]

Great stuff, Pietro! I totally agree on the deliciousness of Pizza. It's always been my favorite food.

[@a.b.1537]

Thanks for advice Pietro.

[@amirtv106]

I think the point you made about the anti-nutrients was one of the most important. I am a strong believer of grains being good for you as long as you address the anti-nutrients.

[@monocyte2210]

Excellent video my man. There are so many misleading information out there about food. just keep it simple and stay healthy

[@VictorArcoChannel]

I do agree the key to a success diet is variety and that makes you happy and common sense is also important

[@Kuda084]

Thanks as always Pietro! I get a lot of bad comments about eating pasta and pizza. Definitely sending this to a few of my critics. Love the tan too!

[@santigetaz8879]

Even though I might not have your looks, I always knew it was wrong to exclude all white flowers and replace them with whole grain or pick sweet potatoes over potatoes. Whenever I've tried that I ended up with an upset stomach. Balancing complex and fast carbs has always been the right thing for me.

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

He sounds like a lecturer at a University. Knowledgeable and confident in that knowledge. And his pronunciation of mozzarella is divine. I'll eat his pepperoni anytime. I'm sure it's tasty and I will like it

[@spacechannelg6843]

i love how you put subtitles on your video. so cute . im kinda in love with u 😊 how can u be such a good guy

[@adianezjoytalamisan8441]

Thanks for sharing some infos about the importance of eating those foods. Hope you can share some cookings of yours on how to make a healthy recipe on that. I am always looking forward on your channel ❤

[@FelipeSarrazin]

Hi, Pi! How you doing? I just came to say that I'm really happy that you back posting here. I'm also have seen your Instagram Story where you posting training. I love so much see you body working out! Thanks and please keep sharing. Kisses from your biggest brazilian fan.

[@ai-man212]

I drink vinegar water before eating carbs, or eat resistant carbs, or both. The vinegar (and cinnamon) prevent insulin spikes that lead to stored fat.

[@TJP-on7hm]

Pietro, very good video! Well explained!

[@HI-mz9st]

I could take lessons from Pietro all day 😍😍😍

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

I could look at Pietro for 7 years. Oh yeah....I've already done that.

[@abdelkadermessaoudi5390]

Yes ,your suggestion IS better .WE have a variété fooding .But thèse fooding (Pasta,Pizza)IS thé good across thé World.And for physiology and métabolism of muscles it's a very good enrgy,j'm a student in Phisics.Thanks,for your teaching ,sée you again .

[@derekjolly3680]

There's a lot to be said here for making your own too. You can have the whole grain flour in part at least, you can load it up with whatever you like perhaps with better meat, perhaps with leaner meat, perhaps with more vegetables etc. I think when you do take out you can use some sense and discretion since it's not all the same even if it's almost never totally traditional. Ok but that being said, one of the main things with my diet when I was up to 195 lbs and 185 lbs. was having pizza at least once a week. Often making my own too. I changed very little with my meals when I was doing a combination of ramped cycling and improved (slightly) diet. However one thing which I felt was essential was to temporarily cut out pizza, regardless of how much I loved it. Even after leaning down to 160, and finally to 150 pounds, I've only had it twice out of changed habits. But I'll get back to having it more. I feel that someone can go too far with always trying to eat perfectly healthy all the time. It's important to eat well in multiple senses, not just one. Finally, pizza does have decent nutritional value when you're selective and tasteful about it, as long as you're aware that you won't be dropping pounds when you have it!

[@nancyneyedly4587]

My family eats pretty high carb, plant based and I have so much energy from eating this way. I have no problems with my digestion eating a variety of foods. We eat rice or pasta everyday, as well as fruit, veg and legumes. Homemade bread is much better than store bought of course., and I'm perfecting my bread skills I'm glad someone else is spreading the message that carbs aren't bad. People over indulging is what is problematic, not the carbs. The Italian and Mediterranean diets are some of he best ways to nourish your body and they have been doing it that way for centuries. Eating pasta and bread the way the Italians do is much different than how most western countries do. Italian pizza is not like Pizza Hut or Domino's pizza.

[@VanEssa-vl8bm]

Omg! True! A real Napoli pizza is incomparable! After my travel in Italy which includes Naples, Amalfi coast….fresh pastas, sauces,… I cant just eat any pizza, pasta… It has been difficult lately! 😢

[@davidcarter3049]

I saw a tv program about diabetes..it showed how white pasta and white bread spike blood sugar levels..a way to reduce this is reheating white pasta. If you reheat it the next day the glycemic index is lower..just a tip for people worried about spiking blood sugar at the wrong times of day

[@watchcem8678]

FINALLY new YT content from Pietro. Upload more!

[@gcp07x]

I love your videos! I´m Mexican and now I can eat tacos and stay fit!!!

[@MikeBothroyd]

Great vid Pietro. Just wondering what your take is on carbs & insulin as the refined white flour would spike it quite a bit I would think ? Thanks

[@marcosguera698]

Thanks Pietro. Great content as ever. I am looking forward to new videos.

[@luibocca3688]

I ate 500g of bread last night, but I made it with orgainic old grain flour, wholeflour, and spelt, added walnuts and cramberiers, a far cry from the white sugary refined sliced bread, and Domino pizza...I also eat home made pizza and pasta, the good one, slow air dried and always al dente,

[@rogerbabida2471]

I don't eat pizza and pasta but I enjoy your explanation 😅

[@alainfitnessdoc4503]

White flower in general brings your blood sugar up very fast, so therefore it creates an insulin reaction and over consumption of white flour is not healthy for anyone, however, I think the biggest difference is that you live in Italy and are eating a more pure version of white flour, and the pizza making process in Italy allows for much of the inflammatory part of the flower to air out before the crust is baked. If you lived in the United States, and you ate our version of flour, and our way of preparing pizza dough, you would feel the detrimental effects of eating pizza and pasta and bagels and such.

[@l3loop571]

thanks for making this video pietro! as always LOVE and appreciate your outlook and thoughts on these topics ❤ been really struggling with figuring out what to eat/eating them with my current health condition that's giving me lots of inflammation- possible leaky gut situation so I've been trying to up fibre intake in general as I've learnt it benefiting the gut microbes but sigh it's confusing when your body still doesn't react well or calms down! lol 😵‍💫 would def take note about soaking the whole grain flour in sth acidic since i just got some and needa use 😅 also maybe trying to make sourdough bc i do love bread 🥹 i hope i can enjoy life again someday being able to eat whatever i want even if it's just a few bites to taste :')

[@JohanLiebert3]

Pietro sir i love you Iam student i follow your workout and diet . Iam working hard on my self Bcz of you sir Iam from kashmir [india] Thankyou ❤️❤️

[@totta9241]

questo video mi ha illuminato la serata 🔥

[@rigor_ii-i]

That’s Italian genetics. You can eat carbs like a goddess

[@conatcha]

I also eat pasta and pizza when I was you age. Now I'm near 50yo and I only eat it at very special occassions or I'll get fat. Working out at the gym for more than 25 years here.

[@Tolya1979]

Thank you, Pietro.

[@yasirhersi5668]

I agree with you pietro but can we know the most important part of nutrition which is how much of carbs do we need to eat in this case how much carbs do you eat ?

[@browhatyoujust6474]

Thanks for your advice 😊

[@Lutusaga]

Grazie, caro! Informazione necessaria e davvero importante!

[@jamesmartello1]

Because pasta and pizza are WONDERFUL!!!

[@jaspermaas6146]

Can you show your skincare routine? That would be a dream♥️

[@John-fr9up]

I know that bread in Italy is traditionally made with "biga" which is a sour starter but does the pizza dough go through a 7 to 8 hour fermentation process before the bake?

[@Aploid]

Really great video Pietro!

[@delizcas76]

Pietro Cool information, about how to eat good 🧠 Greetings from mexico 🇲🇽✋

[@Tobyyyylicious]

Pietro do you take food supplements? Please discuss it. Thank you

[@Z.November]

This guy is smart so I believe him

[@DiamondFlame45]

I appreciate the subtitles dude! I am surprised you Don’t track macros

[@seang2012]

Think of it--if we ever have a zombie outbreak, Pietro will taste SO GOOD! Abs with marinara.

[@gramirez72]

Grazie Pietro! Esatto! Ben parlato. Anche io, non voglio eliminare i carboidrati dalla mia dieta. Quando solo mangio la maggior parte delle verdure, sempre ho fame. Ci fai vedere come si fa una buona pizza o pasta…? Ciao.

[@biggi1612]

Can you please do a vlog and show us what you eat in a day ❤️❤️❤️

[@rinotilde2699]

I still consume pasta and pizza on special days and bread and rice but at reduced amounts.

[@sobelou]

Excellent video, thanks so much!

[@ely519]

Though if you're not in Italy or not home cooking with best ingredients, it can be bad to trust most restaurants and pizza places to not be junk.

[@victorrodriguez1234]

I understood Pietro. To me I like so much Pasta 😋

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

You know my high school served wheat pizza .... I kid you not... wheat pizza dipped in ketchup was the go to meal of my senior class

[@stephanottawa7890]

A great video would be for you, Pietro, to make the pizza in the traditional way or may be you have already done this somewhere. Grazie.

[@djordjegajicki]

Great video, it was time someone said this! Thanx *

[@bedi3yamida870]

how can you eat pasta and pizza and still have 6 pack abs

[@ThanhBenMansour]

I agree that one has to enjoy what one eats. It would be horrible to eat whole grain foods without liking it.

[@acnixon]

I can't believe eating pizza could still make one look this good.

[@saadel2922]

Ramadan Kareem Pietro ILOve you so much

[@deborahtrevize]

Bravo Pietro diffondi il verbo! Il problema non sono i carboidrati ma i condimenti malsani e i cibi troppo processati

[@cassanova9322]

What's the name of the body lotion you used in your skin care video?

[@5850terry]

Good advice from the best looking human on earth.

[@HumanSagaVault]

OMG at first seeing the thumbnail i thought u had a throwback vlog showing when u were younger, u really look younger for some reason, i think its the tan and hairstyle haha

[@DmitiryPopyoutopov]

At the end of the day it's calories in calories out. In terms of body fat, if you eat over the amount of calories that it takes to maintain your current weight you will gain weight. If you eat under that amount you will loose weight. In terms of nutrients obviously pizza wouldn't be the first choice but it has carbs, proteins and fats. In general anything high in fats will use up your daily caloric allowance faster because it has a lot more calories per gram then protein or carbs, which in turn you may be hungry later and not able to eat if your trying to loose fat.

[@perryconrad3357]

I would love to sit across the table from you and enjoy a fresh healthy Italian pizza, white bread sandwiches, and other healthy foods. ... this would make my diet very enjoyable. 😍😋

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

Wow I thought I was the only one that ate bread and worked out. Carbs give me energy. A High Protein Low Carbs diet drains me and doesn't give me the energy to hit the gym. I also treat myself to my indulgence - pastries. I'm not into candy, donuts, cakes, but pastries are a fave. I know.. I know.. its all the same. There's just something about pastries that is satisfying to me over the other bad stuff.

[@joecutro7318]

Bravo Pietro! Hai ragione. 👍🏼🇮🇹🍕

[@gjunior2471]

Please.If you could post your recipe for that sour dough bread you speak of.Thanks!!!

[@Rakyr]

Tbh homemade pizza is not unhealthy, nice carbohydrates and usually around 25-35g of protein!

[@bearilliantbear1769]

I always thought it an insane contradiction that early civilizations likely ate a form of bread all the time and did just fine whether they worked a lot or not. It should make sense that having a Supreme pizza and pineapple pizza would be pretty liveable.

[@oliverkrisztian6771]

Can you make again heavy workout videos? Push your limits, train very hard, dropsets and supersets. Until failure. Thanks

[@saeeddali3145]

Pasta and pizza are super healthy anywhere outside north America. The food americans eat are not fit for animal consumption. Even a simple tomato tastes horrible in the US.

[@alvarorivera1356]

How do you make the bread, bro??? Recipe video

Can you do a full day of eating video?
