You do know that people in the Mediterranean region of Europe, eat croissants, bread and other pastries for breakfast, right? The foods you mention are all fine and good of course, but you are totally misleading people by the title you used for this video.
I usually enjoy some eggs with chicken sausage and a salad or a power bowl of left over quinoa, sweet potatoes, chicken sausage, kale, onions, Brussel sprouts, avocado, and a poached egg. I meal prep and heat everything up in the morning.
My go to is organic oatmeal with banana, mixed berries, flaxseed, walnuts or Almonds. Yum!
Oatmeal, a few raspberries, blueberries and banana slices with walnuts and almond milk or, eggs made with a spray of olive oil, whole grain toast with avacado and fruit or, a bowl with greens, roasted sweet potato or brown rice or farro and roasted veggies with eggs on top and a splash of homemade olive oil vinaigrette.
just talk only
I do a big piece of sourdough bread and I drizzle olive oil onto it… I also rub tomato onto it and add feta cheese.
Salad, and cream of wheat with fruit is 1 breakfast I love. Another is multigrain bagel with scrambled eggs and salad.
Another favorite Avocado Toast.
Dr. Peet, I tend to eat eggs, sprouted bread or 100% whole wheat bread along side with either almond butter or sliced avocado. Oatmeal is another go to with Blueberries or Banana and Walnuts with Soy Milk. In the Summer and late Spring, I like a high protein plant based smoothie.
What protein powder is everyone using?
From the Mediterranean….In which countries do they have breakfast as you say? In none. You are talking about a North American idea, not reality.
Yep! I put watermelon’ Star berries’ Pineapple’ unsweetened almond milk! Banana
Thank you for getting me started changing the way I eat. I have binge watched your videos. I am now ready to begin the Mediterranean diet.!! This will help me lose 45 pounds and get my almost 73 yr. old body healthy. Thanks again for all your great videos!!!
Brand new and DESPERATE!
Avocado toast with eggs would work?
where in the Mediterranean they eat oats for breakfast? or nuts and seeds?
Hi dr Anna we know that too much sugar bad for the skin ❤ xx
Overnight oats. Ingredients consist of rolled oats, flax seeds, greek yogart, honey, bananas, collagen peptides, and oak milk.
just started watching you. My doctor suggested I try this Mediterranean diet to help me lose some weight and to also just be able to live a healthier lifestyle, and I believe it I can do it.
Oh yeah blueberries and flex in my oatmeal! Cinnamon!
Sounds delicious! thanks so much for sharing this video. Did anyone ever tell you resemble Sarah Jessica Parker/Carrie Bradshaw from sex in the city?
I eat with no regard for much of anything reasonable. I will start this in the AM. Have to visit the grocery store first.
I just was watching this and enjoyed my organic oatmeal w blueberries, creamy tahini , chia seeds, Benefiber, sweetened w RX sugar, high fiber sprouted bread ( Dave’s-Walmart) 1 gram sugar per slice, w fig jelly sweetened w 100% fruit juice, farm raised eggs ( from my daughter),ham and cheese.
This keeps me feeling energized and satiated until 2-3:00.
Ready to accomplish whatever I need to get done!! 9:41
So technically i follow the Canadian food guide?
I like her but ive watched 3 vids from her and all she has done is talk. I want to see some recipes please..
Yogurt and fruit sometimes whole grain cereal with low sugar (no artificial sweetener).
Enjoy watching your content while having fresh stawberries & blueberries drizzled with honey, walnut, cheese & prosciutto on a baguette, and coffee with cream no sugar for breakfast
For breakfast I go between: two eggs, spinich with onions, sometimes with a little smoked salmon..or..greek yogurt with blue berries and walnuts.
❤❤❤
Greek yogurt with protein powder, homemade granola (oats, nuts, seeds) and berries is my usual go to breakfast.
If I have more time I like scrambled eggs, egg whites with some veggies.
Here’s a question for you. If you’re doing any kind of intermittent fasting, when you break that fast should you or could you be doing what you would normally have for breakfast, like that awesome smoothie with a fruit, a nut, an oat milk, a protein powder. Then waiting until dinner to eat again?
Typical breakfast is organic Greek yogurt, berries and homemade paleo granola. In summer avocado toast with tomato.
I haven’t started on the Mediterranean diet yet. So, here is breakfast this morning. Strawberry oatmeal with 2 pieces of toast and Lade Of lakes butter made with olive and sea salt
Will this diet help me lose weight even with so much healthy fat?
need recipe not history
Oatmeal, blueberries, collagen protein and honey.
I need to gain weight, while healing gut issues. I hope this helps me.
I either eat avocado toast, overnight oats, or yogurt with fruit and grape-nuts.
Pan Con Tomate
Hi Dr Anna i like grilled sardines on wholegrain toast or eggs or oats and fruit. Love your vids i have suscribe for more as i have chronic bowel issues and need to change my eating habits xx
I live in Italy and have to say they are not into breakfast. They tend to eat sweet things like croissant filled with cream or biscuits
Terrible video. Stop talking and start showing.
A lot of my breakfasts are savory foods! I don’t think foods have to be categorized by time of day! I had a salad for breakfast this morning! Thanks for the video!
I make my own yogurt and usually have that with frozen mixed berries and a variety of nuts and seeds.
Great ideas Thankyou so much❤
I just found you I believe this week. Thank you for all your help. I eat Greek yogurt plain with blueberries walnuts and a drizzle of raw honey.
