A true Mediterranean diet is not and never has been a plant-based diet. Typically, in a real Italian restaurant in Italy, where Italians eat, the pasta serving size is very small. I’ve eaten at enough restaurants around the Mediterranean.

Italians would be disappointed with diet vegetables as if you didn’t care enough to season, crumb, and fry them.
You don't know good enough. Our pasta dishes are not tiny, a serving is 100-125gr~ dry pasta per person. Also meat was not available all time for our grandparents. We eat everything and do lots of walking and sport.
And you look at the people around you they’re all nice and slim
Well someone from Italy, Mediterranean cuisines are some healthy foods with great nutrients, the plant based is not all true because when you follow that diet is different from vegans as in the Mediterranean cuisines contains dairy and Light meat. Just to let you know the cheese they serve are not those junky cheese or melted one at all, the one who are natural made. Also the meat it even said they serve poultry, seafood and few meats not much.
However Mediterranean foods are different when served in different countries, because the one you get inside those Mediterranean countries, they serve real stuff which are good but getting served in a Mediterranean restaurant in another country like US, they don't tend to follow the Mediterranean way. Because we serve freshly made not from packets.
OK. You have eaten in the restaurants. But that is not what people eat at their homes. Have you eaten in a home in Puglia? If we all ate what we eat in the restaurants would be dead now….
Yeah Bro cause eating in restaurants is totally representative of a nation's entire food culture. Not to mention a northern Italian and a southern Italian will have completely different diets, let alone the rest of the mediterranean.
You kill you, Ken. I’ll stick with whole Food plant-based low oil.
Italian diet is different from Mediterranean diet.
Lots of fermented meat. That’s great for you!!😊
Im sorry but i have to disagree with this. Yes there are animal based products in the Mediterranean diet. But that is a more modern approach to it. Most people that lived near the Mediterranean sea were quiet poor. And meat was considered a luxury. The true Mediterranean diet was vegetables and some fruits. Grains, legumes and rustic breads. Eggs and dairy were included in some of the meals. And meat was only eaten at most 3 to 4 times a week. But of course lots and lots of olive oil.
Guys, what is on restaurant menu is not what was traditional daily dishes. It s more representative of what was reserved for Sunday lunch or even less often for special occasions. Ask any grand parents born in before ww2. My grandma was a typical French rural grand ma. Meat was not daily dish because before industrial production came it was too expensive. They would kill a rabbit on Sunday that they raised in their backyard. Beef was for special occasions etc….
Italians do not eat at resteraunts …when they do it's a treat. So it's rich. At home they eat plenty of vegetables. Don't mistake an Italian resteraunt or a french resteraunt for the med diet. Just as a Chinese take away is not what Chinese people eat 😂 this guy has lost his marbles
Wrong about the butter. Much prefer olive oil
That's not the case in greece, most older people eat mostly plants and fish and then meat on special occasions
Restaurants aren’t how people eat at home. They do eat meat but it’s in small amounts with lots of varied vegetables and carbs.
As an Australian born from imported ingredients (Italian) I can confirm meat is the main ingredient. Always with salt. They have salad (insalata) usually I vege chopped and soaked in salt oil and vinegar.
This is true I have done a high protein Mediterranean diet for 3 years 2013-2016 I lost weight my mistake was going to High Protein diet and High Carbohydrates diet 650 milligrams + 10k calories diet 2017-2024 , I love Mediterranean diet and Carnivore Diet and Targeted Keto Diet and High protein diet and Medium Fat diet has worked, at night I cut down carbs to 100mg the next morning I feel like six Million dollar man .
You can't judge what you eat in a restaurant to what people are eating everyday at home. In general a restaurant is a treat meal, so you expect to be richer in meat and dairy. A traditional Italian diet IS very much veg based.
No one EVERY said the Mediterranean diet is plant based. WHAT are you talking about? If you search Mediterranean diet it is a BALANCED diet that creates healthy ppl that live longer than most ppl. All of the so called "blue zones" all follow close to the Mediterranean diet.
Israel, lebanon, turkey etc are also Mediterranean and eat a lot of meat and dairy
Elite cuisine!
Humble flex much?
Mobb Deep as the sound track 💯
But when you say the Mediterranean it should include many other countries, like Greece Turkey Syria Lebanon Egypt etc and that’s when you have a vegetable base diet
I cooked like this all my life and now my daughters do it too.
Says it’s small then says there’s lots 😂
No% absolutely not. What kind of bs are you trying to push with your southern American accent? You know nothing of the Mediterranean and try to push your bs agenda onto an entire culture of food – which is 4:1 ratio of plants to animal product. You are a disgrace.
In Italy, they eat a lot of seafood. It is delicious. I love it. Yum. It is not like in America.
Italy isn’t really Mediterranean food more like Greek turkey and Cyprus neither is France or spain
Lebanese style is very healthy OG Mediterranean. There is an oil tree in Lebanon that’s 6k years old. Where do you think the Greeks and Italians got it from?
