    I hope you enjoy the video! If you're concerned about the origin of shakshukah, please know this has already been pointed out to me. I'm glad you agree that it is a wonderful Mediterranean Dish full of health benefits and flavor!

    A doctor who talks about the importance of nutrition (and who has a great understanding of nutrition)?? I LOVE TO SEE IT 👏🏽Thank you Doctor Anna!
  • @mikaisale
    For breakfast I typically make suateed spinach in olive oil with eggs, feta, and pesto, all wrapped up in a whole grain flatbread! Thank you sooo much for this awesome video :)

    The wheat/ grains in the Med are not gmo. Ergo, they can eat them w/out all the problems and weight gain we get in the states. Read the content of our dried pasta compared to real Italian pasta. They also do a great amount of walking...lots of hills too. Usual desert for my Italian grand parents was an apple or pear sliced and marinated in wine. They would cut it slowly, at the table...it took a while...and always added lots of great conversation. The meal was never rushed. The meal was made from scratch...even the tomato paste was made from home grown tomatoes. Different life style. Thanks for all your great tips. Much appreciated.

    Dr Pleet, I saw your video for the first time and I could not believe that every morning to late morning I have a handful of almonds a handful of raisins and a blueberry smoothie with almond milk, a couple of tablespoons of collagen powder, and a tablespoon of chia seeds. No one has advised me on diet, I just figured that it would be healthy and a good way to get me through the morning. I am 72 years old and hopefully I can keep healthy as long as possible.
  • Dr Pleet , I just started following your page and you seriously have awesome information. I'm a 42 year old male who has Crohn's disease and for years I always knew diet was a huge part but some of my doctors are unfortunately not taught about nutrition so they tend to dismiss those discussions. I started the Mediterranean Diet just a few days ago and I already feel the difference. Your page has really helped me with meal plans and meal prep ideas 😊. I really love your content and you make it soo easy to understand, thank you!...

    00:25:24 Forgive me, but my inner child came out. Love your channel. It’s quickly becoming my favorite. Today is 3/19/24. I started 1/9/24. Lost over 18 lbs so far. Thank you for the healthy tips and tricks.
  • @user-zy8oq7rt8n
    Absolutely the first video that I watched to keep me interested in pursuing a mediterranean lifestyle. You made it interesting and easy to begin. Can't wait! Thank you Dr. Anna
  • @jilliancolin1287
    This was so helpful!! Just starting the Mediterranean diet- thanks for the info and inspo :)
  • Thank you so much for this very informative video! Love all your ideas and insights!😊
  • Thank you, Dr. Anna, for the pasta cooking tips! Oil in the pasta water? 😮 Not anymore!! Education is everything!! 😊
  • @Chelle-kd1po
    Thank you for the wide variety of ideas. I am a picky eater. I didn't think the Mediterranean way of eating was possible for me, but you make it sound simple & do-able.
  • @Greengoat58
    Thanks for all the great educational information.
  • @joannawilson8523
    Thank you so much for your savory breakfast ideas. I’ve never been a fan of a sweet breakfast. Cereals, muffins, pancakes or oatmeal are my husband’s favorites, but I’ve always loved savory.
  • @hildalugo837
    Thank you for this awesome information. My go to right now is a blend of green apple, pumpkin seeds (raw), chia, flax, sesame, walnuts and one date. Add water to taste blend and drink away. I keep all my ingredients in glass jars for easy access.
