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.

This is an enjoyable and educational video, thank you.
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!
Wonderful!!
Really enjoyed the video ❤
Paris isn’t on the Mediterranean. I know France is but the Parisian breakfast is more akin the an American breakfast.
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.
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
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!
But Paris isn’t Mediterranean? I would have thought you’d feature someone further south…..
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!
Great video. Very high carb meal. Bread, fruit juice, dried fruit, etc.
Very interesting
Loved this video. So wonderful to see and hear all of these truly lovely people share their breakfast stories.❤ Thank you!
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.
My fave part…bread bread bread
I’m hungry now!
Thank you for the video.
My goodness… what a wonderful video.. Thank you❤️
Love this video! Thank you!
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.
This video was amazing!! There’s so many days where I just want something simple but different and these recipes were great!!!
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!
Where are the whole grains?? I call bullshit on the promoted Mediterranean diet.
Love seeing what people eat across the Mediterranean ❤
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.
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.❤
I just signed up for the weight loss 10wk plan. Starts 13/3. Also I’ll learn new foods n how to cook!
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?
Didn’t see one person say cereal lol. Loved seeing everyone’s perspective & share childhood memories
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!
White bread is bad for you
Mediterranean food, Yummy!
Breakfasts from mediterranean countries yes, breakfasts that fit the Mediterranean Diet guidelines?….some of them.
They’re not the same thing.
So great to see these faces and traditions from ALL around the Mediterranean!
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.
I enjoyed all the people, faces & sharing of each of their countries breakfast entrees. Good health to each of you!
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
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.
