You can eat eggs. Not sure why that was rationed. That was an awful lot of fish in a week. You can eat chicken and other lean meats. More beans and legumes would make it better.
GOD bless prayers up
Thanks Katie you certainly got me interested 😊
As someone who’s half arab, this diet is typically how we eat since we’re close to the mediterranean and i love it!!! the food is super nutritious and delicious!
I love how katy is honest with the internet and herself 🥰
I hope you cook your dog fresh meals.
they sell cauliflower pizza crusts now.
Prayers for comfort 🙏. Our fur babies are so very precious. GREAT video and THANKS for sharing.
Flexible fasting (mainly OMAD), and weston a price style, non inflammatory diet, is REALLY working for me!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Flexible Fasting!!
I went through an emotional rollercoaster , how absolutely beautiful and genuine you are. I'm so sorry for your loss . Your videos are so inspiring . Thanks for this videos.
Very well done video. Light-hearted, quick moving. Lots of info in a short amount of time. With photos of the meals. With “real” days choices mixed in. Inspiring me to add some variety like this to a mostly Keto type of life.
You're not eating very much!
Thank you for sharing with us sorry for your loss and I hope the love that your cash show will always be with you
Where can I find the recipes for what was cooked?
Hi Kate. Can you tell me the name of that soup?
So sorry for your kitty passing:(
Top quality olive oil is a must! They eat ALOT of it.
I am so sorry about the loss of your cat. I have experienced that as well and it's brutal. I have 2 now that are getting up there in years, so I'm trying to prepare myself for the inevitable. 😥
"An eating plan based on traditional cuisines of greece, italy and other countries surrounding the mediterranean sea" let's just called it "loosely inspired by" because there are many turks, italians and greeks that would laugh at the idea that their traditional food is supposed to be plant based.
This sounds and looks like something americans came up with to shoehorn plant based and whole grain into something that isn't concerned about those things at all. I would consider this a misrepresentation of the actual mediterranean diet.
Cheese consumption in the mediterranean is higher than you probably would expect, especially greece. I don't know any greeks, italians or turks that would go a day without meat or fish/seafood. When whole grain products are consumed it's not because those things are whole grain, it's because they're delicious and they've always eaten them.
Having said that I do think what americans call the mediterranean diet is so much better than the standard american diet. It's SAD for a reason.
I am on a strict mediterranean diet and I can not get it right… Help…. Lol
Not only that, but there are so many Mediterranean cuisines to choose from. Lebanese cuisine is a personal favorite. Lentil soup is crave worthy.
Terribly sorry for your loss! When my cat passed away I couldn’t even eat for days let alone try to adhere to a diet. It’s hard for sure. Good on you for even trying.
Mediterranean diet is the best in the world and the healthier. As half Greek i know that better than anyone.
Btw make some stuffed paprika Greek style, you will love it .
I love you both, so supportive and positive!
When I fry fish in a pan I put a non stick baking paper under each fish fillet with a spray of oil .. stay beside in case but I never had problems. So easy to clean after and healthy
He’s great! Very supportive.
It is more a way of eating than diet in the united states use of the word.
thank you! very helpful <3
I really like your honesty. And I’m so sorry about your kitty.
If it sticks to the pan, yr pan isn't hot enough
Greeks eat lots of meat. Especially lamb
Sorry about the cat, I felt your pain.
It’s shows with the grin from ear to ear that the “chicken” was in the plate.
people walk a lot more in the med area, not drive to shop to shop so that's a big factor. shop daily for fresh food and they have a cafe culture and across the region, they have siestas mid day-they are besides the diet that really makes a huge difference I
As a Romanian I have to say you did a great job, we eat mainly lean meats, and heart veggies occasional beans, but yeah basically everything you did is the Mediterranian diet and it's a good one. We get so caught up in refined foods and stuff, in terms of grains oats are fine ,and brown rice is okay too.
I'd like the green pasta.
Sending my condolences for your cat. It is difficult to lose your pet, I know how you feel..❤️
Being Greek I confirm that yes, that's how we eat..I feel blessed to be living in this country where it is so easy to grow your own vegetables in your back yard. Visit Greece!
Note: in a typical week we eat red meat only once or twice (usually Sundays), chicken once, fish twice, pasta once, and two days per week (on Wednesdays and Fridays) we fast ( fasting for Greeks means going vegetarian- eating vegetables, fruit and legumes, nothing deriving from animals). We consume healthy homemade desserts, olive oil is the only oil we use and we moderately drink alcohol such as tsipouro, ouzo, wines etc. The biggest meal of every day is lunch, not dinner!
At least, that is how we are tought to eat by our parents..
I'm so sorry for your loss <3 🙁
I love how supportive her husband is
You didnt eat lunch
Thanks! You have motivated me!👏💜👏
It seems to me that the Mediterranean diet is a diet drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean lifestyle and cuisine, but it is still a diet with a selection of foods to have as a diet. They definitely have a sweet tooth there with tiramisus, cannolis, baked goods like croissants, eclairs, churros etc. But it's more than everything in moderation, freshly made and an active lifestyle.
Gnocchi is actually really easy to make from scratch if you want to give it a try 🙂 another thing that is surprisingly easy to make is mayonnaise, takes 2 minutes with a stick blender.
This is how we’ve been eating for YEARS! So glad to see this lifestyle getting the recognition that it deserves 🥰. Eat whole foods and your body will thank you 😊. So sorry for your loss
Red wine makes me cry…lol don’t know why but it does . But I love it 😻
I am so sorry for your loss. I love the Mediterranean diet!
Sending condolences on the loss of your sweet kitty. 💕
You're doing an amazing job staying on track and creating new and delicious meals….keep up the good work!
Loved what you presented to eat (being Greek Too). I am going to follow you for 2 weeks
