Reply to comment by starkmatic in [image] My YoY weight since switch to Mediterranean diet in April by KnightCPA

You know, I’m usually okay with people who ask these kinds of questions when they could have googled. Sometimes the specific thing might not come up at the top and it’s easier to just have someone explain. It’s normal.

But this is asinine. There’s only one thing that comes up when you google Mediterranean diet and it’s the fucking Mediterranean diet. Its not a diet plan you buy, it’s just a kind of food. The type of thing that people who live by the Mediterranean Sea tend to eat.

Lol fak off the Mediterranean is a fucking sea surrounded by a billion countries, could be anything from the saltiest fish you’ve ever tasted in your life to literal testicles! Leafs from a bush in vinegar? Sheep’s cheese? Kebab? Spicy kekers? Fucking rice? Fried ray?

All I see when I Google is italianish food. Italian food for people to lazy to actually cook Italian recipes lol

Edit: there’s diagrams! This is the exact shit we learn in school as; the normal everyday bare minimum fucking food to sustain your corpus with lol I’m dying!

Edit2: no shade on OP:) you’re getting healthy it seems, good job!

You’re actually completely right. Lots of different countries on the med with sometimes radically different cuisines despite similar ingredients. when I say mediterrean, I literally mean “Moroccan”.

Typical breakfast in my Moroccan grandmothers house for individuals not on a diet:

Breakfast: bread with butter and olive oil

Lunch: salad with tomatos and sardines.

Dinner: a huge bowl of couscous (a grain), with carrots, Zucchini, potato’s, lamb/beef/Chicken, bread, followed by a huge plate of fruit (oranges, bananas, melons).

How I adapted this to my diet:

Breakfast: fruit, usually bananas, but sometimes strawberries, raspberries, blackberries.

Lunch: chicken filet, with tomatos and other veggies (when available), olive oil, and American style sliced wheat loaf bread

Dinner: salmon and veggies

Snack before bed: tomatos, olive oil, bread.

My diet isn’t an exact mirror as what my grandmother makes because I’m in America with American ingredients and hate cooking (salmon vs sardines, American bread vs Moroccan bread, American bread vs cous cous), but in terms of the kinds of foods I’m eating (lean meats, veggies, fruit, grains, olive oil), it’s virtually the same thing.
