Mama Mia!
That’s what I like about it. It allows for meat, especially fish
What’s wrong with meat? A good grass fed steak….
And Pastured eggs Wild caught Alaskan Salmon
Nothing. It was not the point.
@奇跡講座 fair enough. The video seemed to propose a mostly plant based diet with the least amount of meat to be preferred while that can be debated.
@Kwistenbiebel200
nah dr berg has a handful of videos saying meat is best for health.
I must disagree. I live in Italy and have been with an Italian man for 15 years and raise kids in Italy. Yes Italians eat meat, but they eat also TONS of veggies, like TONS!! Daily salads, fried and cooked veggies at every meal, antipasti, pasta dishes with veggies inside eg broccoli pasta, the famous soffritto which is basis of many meat dishes, veggies soups in winter…).Yes there is meat but in terms of quantity they consume way way more veggies. They enjoy salami but nobody would ever eat an entire salami, 1-2 pieces that’s it and not even daily. Italians teach their kids limits. You can have a piece of chocolate or a nice piece of meat, but just a bit, not too much. That’s the secret imo. Another secret is, they know how to make veggies palatable. Ever tried fried spinach with garlic and before eating sprinkle parmesan on top? Or cooked brocolli fried with garlic. Sauteed/Fried white cabbage or fennel.
Yes we eat veg too, lol it goes
Well with meat. Lol 😂
What do you mean by “fried” spinach etc? Do you mean sautéed or is it a different process? Sounds yummy
This still doesn’t make it a “plant based diet” by the definition of what that label has become
He said the Same thing.😅
@Valerie2 in my country we put it without frying or sauted with meat and a lot of broth soup …so yummy .. lebanon
Eating Fish and meats does not mean you are not eating healthy.
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 🙏
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 Sir are a good man !
blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia.
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.
Ah, I was looking for this comment. Almost half the year Orthodox are loosely on a vegan diet, but not because it’s healthy… because it’s a form of fasting and it’s brutal lol
You know that fish is meat right
@Raul Bustamante yes, we didn’t eat fish during lent as it bleeds. What is your point?
@Raul BustamanteI 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?
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.
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
Dr. Berg keeping on the Real, as usual.👍👍
Awesome! If you like this video, go ahead and share it with someone that you know that can truly benefit from it.
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
Dr. Berg … you are totally right …. and we try to bring our grains veggies meat for an organic source.
I have told people that the idea that the people who invented pepperroni, salami, feta, mozzarella, suvloki, fish soup and creamy sauce being plant based is crazy.
I prefer ketogenic or low-carb Mediterranean diet and yes We Mediterranean people ( mostly) love animal based food and consume lots of it.😊
Dr Berg, you could say anything and everyone would follow you with blind faith.
Don’t forget the copious amounts of extra virgin olive oil!
