There are thousands of studies on the Mediterranean diet showing benefits for everything from arthritis to dementia, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer and longevity. Doctors and dietitians are telling their patients to eat the Mediterranean Diet, but there seems to be some misconceptions and lack of education about what the diet really is.

I have argued with people for 12 years that carbohydrates like BREAD are NOT evil or the problem. It is the total lifestyle and on top of that what the industry has done to food. You cannot compare a homemade tomato to a store bought one. I can eat a "real" tomato like an apple they are so good. Mmmm
Totally agree!
You are correct bread is not evil...it's some of the stuff that's put in the store bought bread...so much so that store bought bread doesn't even mold anymore😮.
@@Popo52451 Truth!
Excellent video! Thank you so much. I would love to see an extended version of this with all of these folks telling us what they eat in a day or week…perhaps one video per region. Again, thank you so much!
We do have a few of these already on our channel (Spain, France) and will soon have one from Lebanon. Thanks for the suggestions!
@@Mediterraneanliving that's good thank you I to would like to see what each region eats daily especially Crete.

Very different from what's pushed in the USA as the Mediterranean diet! My Dalmatian husband ate bread and jam, often with prsut or sunka (ham) for breakfast, with coffee, as a child. That's what we eat when we visit his family.
I love shaksuka for breakfast, with a toasted slice of my home-made bread.
Agreed and you have to research really hard to find the "real" deal. I saw a documentary from a woman from Greece I believe who moved to American then after some years when back to Greece to visit and was dismayed to find junk food and fast food had arrived.
Shakshuka is amazing!
In my family, we call Shakshuka "Eggs in Purgatory". It's delicious!
That's exactly what I thought. This is what people eat, or used to eat.
So great to see these faces and traditions from ALL around the Mediterranean!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Loved this video. So wonderful to see and hear all of these truly lovely people share their breakfast stories.❤ Thank you!
Didn’t see one person say cereal lol. Loved seeing everyone’s perspective & share childhood memories
Thanks for another fun video. Love your channel so much!
I live in Turkey and every morning without fail, I have black olives, ezine cheese, tomato, cucumber, parsley, turkey ham, whole-grain bread, and of course, çay. I get up excited every morning just to eat this breakfast 😄
I moved from Japan to Turkey and have been truly enjoying the richness of their cuisine! I especially love the cuisine from the Aegean region.
Hope to make it to Turkey someday. Thanks for sharing your breakfast!
Oh I love Japanese traditional breakfast. I miss waking up at a Ryokan with Japanese breakfast!
I also miss Turkish breakfast in Istanbul. Both Turkey and Japan are my favorite countries in the world.
This is an enjoyable and educational video, thank you.
Love seeing what people eat across the Mediterranean ❤
Thank you. Can't get much more authentic than the real people!
This video was amazing!! There’s so many days where I just want something simple but different and these recipes were great!!!
A very interesting and informative video. Thank you to everyone who participated and to those involved in its production. 💐 😊
You are very welcome!
My goodness… what a wonderful video.. Thank you❤️
You are welcome!
Love this video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mediterranean diet is my all-time favorite! Just from my personal preferences. Love the good olive oil, black olives, garlic, tomatoes, healthy fish. Crusty French bread is so gorgeous. When I worked in England I ate mostly French foods. I am grateful to see so many countries that fall within the Mediterranean diet catagory. Greek foods use a lot of fresh lemon and delicious spices. I'm trying to incorporate goat cheese and kefir VS milk. Love love ricotta
cheese with honey or in a lasagna. Breakfast is my biggest challenge. Thank you for this helpful video ~ Diane
Glad you enjoyed the video. I love the great olive oil and black olives as well (plus the other foods you mentioned). Thanks for the comment.
@@MediterraneanlivingI also love her wording of "gorgeous" 🎯 truly love everything about this from Boston Massachusetts! 💞
Great video. Very high carb meal. Bread, fruit juice, dried fruit, etc.
I loved this video. Thank you 😊
You are welcome!
Great video! It’s so interesting to see what other people are eating especially in the Mediterranean. This low fat business is for the birds. Tfs 👍
I'm from Iraq, and our breakfast is full of protien, calories, and fat !! I cannot count it as the healthy part of the Mediterranean diet since we are not technically on the Mediterranean sea, but we consume many of the dishes they mentioned in the video. We have Bajilla (boiled fava beans served with pieces of bread and fried omelet on top); we have Kahi (full fat cream cheese served with fried phyllo sheets and honey or syrup). We also have stews served with either rice or bread (mostly have meat or kubba simmiring for hours). I cannot imagine eating such meal for breakfast, but some people do to give them energy to perform hard labor. Mind you, these meals are served very early in the morning and have nothing else to eat or snack on until 6 or 7 hours later. Breakfast is usually between 6 and 8 am. Lunch is not until 1 or 2 pm. And dinner is late by 7 or 8 pm. At least that's how it was when I grew up there 30 years ago!
Thank you so much for sharing! Your diet has a lot of similarities for sure!
Love this! Wow! How about the same again but for lunch and dinner? P.s do you have or can you post a halva recipe. I love halva 😋
Thank you for the video.
You are very welcome
Wonderful!!
Really enjoyed the video ❤
Thank you!!
Koula seems so warm and sweet. I'd love to have breakfast with her! 😊
Your videos are absolutely lovely. Most of these videos however focus on maintaining or losing weight. I do a lot of physical activity and actually need to gain weight, would you make some videos with possible recipe ideas for that. Thanks!
I enjoyed all the people, faces & sharing of each of their countries breakfast entrees. Good health to each of you!
Very interesting
As a child in America most kids have cereal and milk. I was not a breakfast eater as a kid . I hated soggy cereal so my moms made me Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and honey or jelly and a glass of milk. I love eggs now and often have an scramble egg with olive oil on an sour dough English muffin with real mozzarella cheese.❤
Eggs seemed to be eaten in many parts of the Mediterranean for meals other than breakfast. Sounds like your breakfasts as a kid were pretty healthy!
@@Mediterraneanliving It depends on the cereal.
A lot of Cereals in the U.K. and USA have a load of Sugar in them,….hence why a lot of us end up having a sweet tooth! 🙈
I've been looking for sourdough English muffins and can't find them.
@@rb7007 That's the plan. They want you addicted. £££££££££
@@WetLettuce-kc2qm Yep!
I’ve tried giving up sugar, but can’t. 🙁
I just signed up for the weight loss 10wk plan. Starts 13/3. Also I'll learn new foods n how to cook!
How did it go for you? Can you share your experience? 👍🥰
@@byzantineladybug9471 I actually gained weight unless I counted calories. The amount of different foods to do the recipes was expensive in UK so I quit after 2nd week. The rich foods n olive oil was too much so I gained half a stone in 2 weeks!
@@michellegower1259 oh my goodness! Thank you for that update and I’m sorry that happened to you! I’m thinking of adopting a more Mediterranean style of eating but I strongly suspect I will need to, at least initially, count calories (which I know is counterintuitive but might be necessary). Anyway, thank you for your response!
@@byzantineladybug9471 The recipies were very tasty, but I wasted a lot as they're family sized mostly and what I cooked was for me only. That probably didn't help either as tempted to eat more. Good luck with your health journey.
Loved learning about all the different breakfasts! The hubs and I will be visiting Chania and Heraklion this April, so I'm hoping to sample the delicious breakfasts Koula described!
Well done. I like the push for bread as it is something that has a bad reputation. I believe it's the quality of supermarket that deserves that negative reputation not the homemade or bakery . Several have tomato for breakfast. I'd have to adapt to that , unusual. I've been trying breakfast salads and smoothies.
Breakfast salads are a great idea. I love those! From what I know, many people who have issues with bread in the U.S. don't have the same issues when they go to the Mediterranean. The bread is different, for one thing, the wheat is not genetically modified. Thanks for the comment.
Its the added folate in many countries … look up mthfr genetic mutation
My fave part...bread bread bread
Second time watching this. Love it. So many good tips. I love The Mediterranean diet. I also love these people and their accent. If I could cope with the heat I would love to live in rural France or Greece/Crete.
I notice that loving bread is such a big thing common amongst most if not all Mediterraneans.
Thank you for this video. I wish things were as healthy here in the UK. I find it really hard to find meat and butter from grass fed cows, sheep & goats and stores here that do sell things preserved in oil and claim it's Spanish or Greek very often they use Rapeseed oil and not EVOO. There are some good things available but I wish it were as commonly available as it is in the Med.
If you can find an Irish butter called "truly" (in the US, it's a blue and white or silver pkg), it's amazing. Organic, grass-fed. Better even than the French butter I was buying
@@LindaC616 I recently found organic grass fed butter in Tesco but it's there own. Sadly never seen the Irish butter here in the UK that you mentioned but maybe the Americans have it as you say.
@angeladyson7367 it's only recently, the last year, I'd say. Maybe check with a smaller organic market, not Tesco? Or M&S, Sainsbury's?
@@LindaC616 Thanks, We don't really have a small organic market round here and Sainsbury's is a bit too far each time. All these online organic places can be quite pricey too which is why I say it would be great if organic, grass fed became commonplace because then the prices would come down. Budget is a bit tight at the mo. Certainly too tight for M&S and most if the time even Sainsbury's. Lidl, Aldi and Tesco are the cheapest. I think all farmers should be given a grant to stop pesticides and synthetic fertilizers so they could afford to transition to organic and grass-fed.
I’m hungry now!
Me too!
I love how they all eat some kind of dairy or eggs. In America, everyone's pushing the "non-saturated fat" bull shit, and here they are eating butter, eggs, cheese, and whole milk.
Is whole grain bread healthy??$$😊
I stayed with Italians in my earky 20's in Italy, for breakfast they had a bowl of milky coffee and biscuits ! I thought it was fabulous . Then in isreal for breakfast they gave us a cold hard boiled egg and I can't remember what else and I was like ...yuck ! haha See how bread is a big part of the food - ususlly with Olive Oil, but if I eat bread I pile on weight in no time.
Paris isn't on the Mediterranean. I know France is but the Parisian breakfast is more akin the an American breakfast.
My husband and I started out on the Keto diet and moved to carivore. We do feel better and have lost weight but I have not had a big difference in blood pressure or blood sugar and neither has my husband who has type 2 diabetes and heart issues. It is confusing to me because a lot of diets have you eating higher carb foods and when we do our weight goes up and higher blood pressure and blood sugar. Also on the Carivore diet we eat two meals a day and with the eggs and meat we do not get hungry but I try to use common sense and I just feel like overall this is not a healthy way to eat long term and there is no variety. I have been reading about the Mediterranean diet and even my husbands heart doctor mentioned this diet to us but there again it seems like so many doctors has a different opinion so who knows who to believe. Any comments or suggestions from anyone.
I have the same issues as your husband I'm pre-diabetic when I tried those diets you mentioned above, I lost weight, but my LDL and Triglycerides went way up so much my doctor said to stop eating so much saturated fats I would have to be put on a statin. I never met a doctor in person who advocated for these high saturated fat diets. I know lot of people watch KenDBerry MD channel he pushes these high saturated fat diets I never seen him provide any real study to backup what he says all just his opinion. There are lot of studies that show high LDL cholesterol does lead to heart attacks.
I really want to start the Mediterranean diet but I have one problem and I hope so much you can help me with it. I hate fish. I can eat tuna salad and Fish and chips but those are not healthy. All other fish I really have . the flavor and even the smell. Like wise for Feta cheese. I hate it. I would rather substitue mozzerrella or munster or some other cheese instead of feta. Can you help me be on a Mediterranean diet without fish and Feta?
In doing my own homework on the subject, since I too only like cod and tuna, I have found that you can have chicken, turkey, and other meats as long as you control how much of it per meal, per day. This way you have variety but still have fish 2-3 times per week. Get a cookbook and try to make cod, it is a great white flakey fish to begin with. I am trying to get the courage up to try salmon again...
Just eat the things you like from the Mediterranean diet. I'm sure many people in those countries also hate fish.
I respectfully say that this title is misleading. It should say what modern Mediterranean people eat, because the Mediterranean diet that was promoted and studied, is not like a lot of these offerings. One of the women said that they typically put sugar on the bread in the morning and I can tell you there is very little sugar eaten in the traditional Mediterranean diet. They also actually don’t eat a lot of bread, and certainly not white bread at several meals a day. It’s fun for me to find out what people eat and other places, but I am interested in the real Mediterranean diet for health reasons and although I’m not saying this breakfast or unhealthy, they are not the ones that lead people to live rather long lives with very little degenerative disease. But I do thank you for the tour!
Do you know what some traditional Mediterranean breakfasts are?
I agree with the sugar part, but no matter what you think, if people in America ate these stated variations, they would definitely be healthier. Definitely not store bought white bread as we know it. Bake your own, and it would be great if you milled your own grains.
Thank you for your video. 😊
Breakfasts from mediterranean countries yes, breakfasts that fit the Mediterranean Diet guidelines?....some of them.
They're not the same thing.
The Mediterranean Diet is quite varied from country to country, but some form of bread for breakfast is pretty common. And it does fit with the Mediterranean Diet guidelines especially when fruit or vegetables are included.
@@Mediterraneanliving bread vegetables fruit and some kind of cheese or eggs or beans is the general breakfast in the Mediterranean area ❤️❤️
Because those guidelines are marketing BS, the real Mediterranean diet is different from the one being pushed in places like the 🇺🇸
But Paris isn’t Mediterranean? I would have thought you’d feature someone further south…..
Is Paris mediterranean? That's news!
Where are all the " gluten intolerant" people? 🤣🤣🤣
White bread is bad for you
Where are the whole grains?? I call bullshit on the promoted Mediterranean diet.
Yeah, because us Americans know so much about proper diet. I call bullshit on our diet! Mediterranean diet is sooo much healthier.
0:49 Paris is a Mediterranean border now?🤣🤣🤣🤣 her breakfast is the worst nutritionally : white bread, white sugar (jam) saturated fat butter
