That’s what I like about it. It allows for meat, especially fish
Eating Fish and meats does not mean you are not eating healthy.
In fact it means you are eating healthy.
Keto is heavy in protein so I do not believe he’s knocking Mediterranean diet
@@wildf1owerNo, keto is only moderate proteins, that’s 20-25%. See percentage of proteins for the keto diet.
It’s the olive oil!! Yummy sooo good 4 ya
Ii am totally agree with u olive oil put it on bread ..soooo yummyyy
He didn’t say meat was bad. the first couple of sentences were “Is it healthy? Could be” he then makes another point to say whats not true about the diet that many people consider to be true. They believe it to be a mostly plant based diet and he said it isn’t.
Yah Ive been to the Mediterranean many times. They lots of EVOO, meat, seafood, lots of cheese, wine, vegies, pasta, bread, fruit & desserts. Vegies are only 1/4 of their diet. They are thin! Why? 1) They walk to work or ride Vespas. They live within 2-4 miles of work in the City. They dont care how much $$ they make; good food, time off work spent with family & friends is their priority. 2) they eat small proportions. A french girl told me she went to Philly USA with her highschool “Super Size! One side of those fries feeds a whole French family!” How embarrassing for us. 3) They eat specific foods with others, while other foods have to be eaten 1 hr prior OR 2 hrs after a meal. For example, They NEVER eat protein with fruit. Suzanne Somers wrote a diet book about it & its full of great recipes. And yes, it works. You lose weight & get to eat variety.
The late Suzanne Sommers
Hello 😊 which Suzanne Somers book are you referring to? Title please 🙏
why can’t we eat protein with fruit? and does it mean all protein? or just meats and fish?
Food combinations is a topic I first heard of in the 80s..
I’m sure if you goggle it.
Leslie Kenton wrote about it too.
@@rarebear6889see Dr Berg’s videos on sweet fruits.
100% I’m Croatian and our diet is full of fish, pork, chicken along with tons of veggies, olive oil, garlic, goat cheese, fruits such as cherries, figs, and shot of Croatian plum liquor and amazing Croatian red wines..My grandparents lived well into their late 90’s
You are right. I lived there most of my childhood. I read about the guy who did the research in Greece. He got there when we were fasting during lent. He needed to ask more questions.
We fast from all (at least in my family) animal products for 40 days, before receiving communion for Easter. Some people only fast on Tuesday and Thursdays and depending on the day Fridays too. Which excludes any animal that bleeds, as well as their bi-products (like cheese and eggs, etc.). However in saying this, we only ate meat once a week. When it wasn’t lent. During those times we ate cheese and eggs, and everything else that was available. Usually on a Sunday after church. We ate fish several times a week when it was delivered by the fishermen to our village, mostly Spring and summer. Of course we ate salads and other vegetables and fruit after each meal.
You know that fish is meat right
@@Raul0ne yes, we didn’t eat fish during lent as it bleeds. What is your point?
@@Raul0neI just realized you were referring to me saying that in the spring and summer we ate fish. Let me re-frase, 6 months out of the year we at meat only on Sunday. Any type, however we fasted more than once a year so that might not be true, and the other half of the year we ate all types of meat on Sundays, with the exception of some additional fish during the week, of course, unless we were fasting to receive communion. Is that better? A more specific interpretation for you?
@@yo-taskitchen958lol😅.
Don’t let these folks stress you.
Whoever says it’s a plant based diet is a fool trying to dupe Americans. I’m Portuguese, one of the countries actually in the Mediterranean, and gues what, a lot of salads yes, but together with protein. A nice steak with a big salad is just a perfect combo.
Portugal in the Mediterranean Sea??? 😂
Someone skipped school.
@@DimitriosKvsWho said Mediterranean SEA? They said Mediterranean. Portugal is part of Iberia. Duh!
I am Portuguese and Portugal is not Mediterranean. In order to be Mediterranean, the country has to touch the Mediterranean Sea which Portugal does Not.
@@gruzincklebell3404 thank you. It seems so many people can’t separate Mediterranean and Iberian. Sad.
@@DimitriosKvsI think you did because the Med covers Portugal Spain France Itali even though Portugal is in the Atlantic
and the grains arent full of genetic modifications for output. The bread is real bread, not commodity americam bread
Is there anyway to ship some of those grains over here? Lol
@@usernameisunavailable8270 well yea. You usually can get it in whole foods, natural grocers or whatever. You just gotta do your homework on specifications
It’s fermented to the point where most of the anti nutrients and gluten are destroyed
@@jorelletaylor5408 indeed yeast does that too
Exactly..my friend I’m italian living here in Canada my god what a difference…the bread I use consume in Italy 🇮🇹 compare the bread here (garbage)…
This was recommended at a week long diabetic dietary class here which was ineffective at 45% carbs… switched to 5% carbs and put type 2 diabetes into remission 120 days later
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
I save fish extravergin olive oil and vegetables ❤
Mediterranean diet is hugely meat based diet with vegetables and salads to complement the meat of all varieties. Thanks Dr for your input
I live in Spain, meat and cheese are central in the diet. One of the main reaons for their longevity is olive oil and plenty of sun.
My relatives are from the Mediterranean. They eat little meat, little cheese. No junk food, no fast foods, etc. Mostly veggies, beans, whole foods.
You mean the Middle East? I’m from there and everything they eat is junk food we have high obesity rate in my country
@@Hjkknvftyjv Greece.
@@HjkknvftyjvYes. But Dr Berg’s Arabic channel is growing and contributes to improving this situation.
I don’t know anyone who ever thought it was plant based 🤔 it very clearly includes meat products
A lot of people sadly believe this diet is plant based
It doesn’t matter Dr Berg has done countless videos about how good meat 🍖🥓 is for us!
I agree. I never said I didn’t eat meat. I simply said I’ve literally never heard of anyone who ever thought it was plant based. It very obviously includes meat.
@@sundaydawn3377that’s fine if you haven’t, but most articles that come up about the Med diet talk only about the veggies they eat and always exclude meat. That’s why he made this video
I prefer ketogenic or low-carb Mediterranean diet and yes We Mediterranean people ( mostly) love animal based food and consume lots of it.😊
Awesome 👏 if you know of any farm there that I could show on my social media, please give their contact.
the difference is that Mediterraneans consume high quality grains, meat, and dairy in much more controlled quantities because they don’t mass produce junk with a bunch of additives and GMO
Don’t forget the copious amounts of extra virgin olive oil!
Authentic olive oil not fake
Thank you Dr.BERG
I went to Greece recently and the best part was the food! Amazing tasting cheese, meat & olive oil!
