Anyway we can get recipes of what you made? Some of that stuff looked really good
I have a theory. I think the healthiest food in the world is the so called TRADITIONAL food.
I wished scientists and doctors focused more on traditional food.
1. Traditional food was created or invented usually in times of hunger, poverty, crisis, war, plague, disease, etc. Traditional food is survival food, the food that stood the test of time, the food that allowed entire populations to survive periods of hunger. So traditional food needs to be healthy, nutritious, cheap and abundant, based on local ingredients.
2. But traditional food usually can taste very bad, sometimes being outright vile and repugnant. Most countries in the world usually have some kind of traditional food. In times of plenty most people tend to underestimate, look down, dismiss or even despise traditional food because it doesn’t taste good. But that is really a big mistake, because that is the food that humanity needs to rely on in times of hunger, and also to remain healthy. So it is really important to keep and preserve traditional food, no matter how bad that food may be.
In Sweden there is a fermented fish called surströmming, that is considered by many to be the stinkiest food in the world.
How is it possible that people eat such a thing? But surströmming has existed for hundreds of years, is nutritious, healthy and cheap. And most certainly it was invented by starving people in times of hunger and poverty. Many people make fun of surströmming because of its foul smell, but very few people seem to realize that surströmming is a super-food that literally saved entire populations from hunger.
3. The biggest problem about traditional food is that it may difficult to replicate in other countries, because it may not taste good and the ingredients may not be as cheap or abundant in different regions or countries. For example it is often said that olive oil is healthy, but olive oil can be very expensive outside Europe. Japanese traditional food uses no olive oil at all.
4. It is ironic that unhealthy food is only available in times of plenty, while in times of hunger the only food available is traditional food. So the richer the country, the more unhealthy the diet becomes. A poor person on the other hand needs to eat healthy food, otherwise he won’t survive. So paradoxically, the poorer the person, the healthier the diet, because a poor person simply can not afford to eat unhealthy food. While traditional food is based on local, cheap, abundant ingredients, unhealthy food is usually based on expensive, imported, exotic ingredients. While older generations try to encourage traditional food, younger generations tend to despise traditional food and prefer modern, expensive, unhealthy food.
5. The United States unfortunately does not have a firmly established traditional food, simply because the country is relatively young and has not suffered any major war or disaster or famine or disease. So most of its diet is based on European culture, which may not be the most appropriate for the region. In my opinion the US should look into native American culture, because they probably have a very strong traditional food culture most appropriate for the local conditions.
OMG. Had to pause the video to say I am so so so sorry to hear about your fur baby. ;( I teared up with you… big hugs
How does your sisyer do the salami roses?
Your husband is sooo supportive and funny! You did a great job on this. ❤ sorry about your cat. ❤
So interesting that her immediate thought was that it would be super restrictive. Like, in dinner pasta if the world, it’s just how people eat. She pretended it’s hard to order out Mediterranean in New York, when there are plenty of Greek places, etc. She just acts dramatic about it for views.
I love bagels with avacado or tast avacado but with everything bagel no salt seasoning its bomb
Your pan and oil wasn’t hot enough before adding the fish and so it stuck to the pan. I learned this recently because I have a pan that does this and I almost tossed it in the trash.
I’m
So sorry about your cat passing away
10 hours of traffic?????
Thank you for sharing this helpful information!❤
You are such a great energy couple!
Love the Mediterranean Diet and her kitchen!
Eating it for 14 days is like saying you’re going to start learning to play the piano for 14 days. The Mediterranean diet is a lifestyle. The benefits will only be rewarded to you if you live your life this way.
Hat off at the dinner table Chris lol
Excuse me, but what diet?
this is so crazy lol, this is what I usually eat and think it’s average (not extraordinarily healthy). can the average yank not survive on a standard diet for 2 weeks?
Wow you look like Lindsay Lohan❤
I think the dog appreciates the transition to the Mediterranean diet the most
14 days won’t make any difference. I’ve been on it for coming up to two years and changes are happening but it took months.
This is a high carb diet.
I am so sorry to hear about your cat❤
10:12 — oohh i gotta try and make that, looks yummy.
Yes, i am trying this Mediterranean diet too. Got to stop eating junk food and fast food. Bonus: i finally stopped smoking,…for good.
I key to cooking in a stainless steel pan is letting it get hot enough for water to dance on top. Then add the oil and let the oil warm up but not burn. Then add the fish or veggies etc..
More Mediterranean recipes, please.
Try again. Let’s say you suddenly have developed Chronic Kidney Disease and if you want to live, you HAVE to eat this way.
Cooking from scratch is healthy in itself
Why are you married to that guy? You can do wy better!
The Mediterranean diet is no a “Diet” it a way of life.
What a sweet guy! He’s supportive, positive, and not fussy. You better hang on to him.
As I guy that stars work at 05.30 in the morning and not back home until 17.00 in the evening it’s dam impossible to follow.
You said you eat out on the one day you filmed, now you seem the problem.
Front line job can not work from home.
I do like the menu but need to take on the march.
I started grating a some hard boiled egg over my avocado toast and it’s even more satisfying.
Seems like that’s all you have time to do on that diet. prepare food.
You are so amazing and inspiring for getting back on track so quickly after the passing of your cat. I hope you and your husband are still healing well after no matter how long its been. ❤️
That first thing you eat in that clear bowl was a real carb bomb. Thats typical in the SAD.
Man losing a pet really sucks! I’m so sorry for that. Yet you still managed to film the rest of the days. Kudos to you!
Your video helped big time for me! Thank you both
I’m SO SORRY about your sweet kitty! You kept filming anyways I’m so proud of you! Thanks for the video!
I saw different people talking about Mediterranean diet and, as Spaniard, I have to say you are who better understand the concept of our eating.
For my arugla lovers and spinage lovers yall need to stop buying it online cause i cant seem to get walmart or anny where to deliver it half the time its crazy
Thanks for sharing everything looked great
You don’t eat no meat? You are not Mediterranean.
