    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



  4. @DawgMama on June 7, 2024 at 11:38 pm

    How does your sisyer do the salami roses?



  5. @ft_ph on June 7, 2024 at 11:42 pm

    Your husband is sooo supportive and funny! You did a great job on this. ❤ sorry about your cat. ❤



  6. @malindarayallen on June 7, 2024 at 11:42 pm

    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.



  7. @lynnettawilliams2138 on June 7, 2024 at 11:43 pm

    I love bagels with avacado or tast avacado but with everything bagel no salt seasoning its bomb



  8. @katiek1856 on June 7, 2024 at 11:46 pm

    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.



  9. @leilaniroach1680 on June 7, 2024 at 11:47 pm

    I’m
    So sorry about your cat passing away



  10. @suhurabdullahi972 on June 7, 2024 at 11:48 pm

    10 hours of traffic?????



  11. @mzrosie7415 on June 7, 2024 at 11:50 pm

    Thank you for sharing this helpful information!❤
    You are such a great energy couple!



  12. @brandonS227 on June 7, 2024 at 11:50 pm

    Love the Mediterranean Diet and her kitchen!



  13. @Kevster-dp7tt on June 7, 2024 at 11:51 pm

    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.



  14. @MrPireasxios on June 7, 2024 at 11:57 pm

    Hat off at the dinner table Chris lol



  15. @Truthandconsciousness on June 7, 2024 at 11:59 pm

    Excuse me, but what diet?



  16. @sm-yu7dt on June 7, 2024 at 11:59 pm

    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?



  17. @Ingridfransson on June 8, 2024 at 12:00 am

    Wow you look like Lindsay Lohan❤



  18. @quantaloop4002 on June 8, 2024 at 12:00 am

    I think the dog appreciates the transition to the Mediterranean diet the most



  19. @gumbo7215 on June 8, 2024 at 12:03 am

    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.



  20. @jazzip on June 8, 2024 at 12:04 am

    This is a high carb diet.



  21. @bethstevens4957 on June 8, 2024 at 12:06 am

    I am so sorry to hear about your cat❤



  22. @Lilyanna_Foxtrot on June 8, 2024 at 12:06 am

    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.



  23. @josephpoole2826 on June 8, 2024 at 12:07 am

    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..



  24. @lisalewis3891 on June 8, 2024 at 12:07 am

    More Mediterranean recipes, please.



  25. @thegreypath1777 on June 8, 2024 at 12:10 am

    Try again. Let’s say you suddenly have developed Chronic Kidney Disease and if you want to live, you HAVE to eat this way.



  26. @wonderwoman5528 on June 8, 2024 at 12:11 am

    Cooking from scratch is healthy in itself



  27. @timitzer on June 8, 2024 at 12:12 am

    Why are you married to that guy? You can do wy better!



  28. @edesouza2279 on June 8, 2024 at 12:14 am

    The Mediterranean diet is no a “Diet” it a way of life.



  29. @rose52anne on June 8, 2024 at 12:14 am

    What a sweet guy! He’s supportive, positive, and not fussy. You better hang on to him.



  30. @neilmealor6478 on June 8, 2024 at 12:15 am

    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.



  31. @katiek1856 on June 8, 2024 at 12:16 am

    I started grating a some hard boiled egg over my avocado toast and it’s even more satisfying.



  32. @michaelbarry8373 on June 8, 2024 at 12:17 am

    Seems like that’s all you have time to do on that diet. prepare food.



  33. @lane95 on June 8, 2024 at 12:17 am

    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. ❤️



  34. @michaelbarry8373 on June 8, 2024 at 12:22 am

    That first thing you eat in that clear bowl was a real carb bomb. Thats typical in the SAD.



  35. @mistermatsuda on June 8, 2024 at 12:23 am

    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!



  36. @lhol3342 on June 8, 2024 at 12:23 am

  37. @rainydaze9318 on June 8, 2024 at 12:24 am

    I’m SO SORRY about your sweet kitty! You kept filming anyways I’m so proud of you! Thanks for the video!



  38. @LuisLorenzoRodrigo on June 8, 2024 at 12:25 am

    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.



  39. @lynnettawilliams2138 on June 8, 2024 at 12:25 am

  41. @rosaritamaria4414 on June 8, 2024 at 12:26 am

    You don’t eat no meat? You are not Mediterranean.
