I’m 75 yo overweight cancer survivor who now is eating “clean,” I believe it’s never too late to start. After only 4weeks, I’ve started to feel the benefits of clean eating. Getting accustomed to shopping more frequently for fresh, unprocessed food. Thanks for sharing.
Hi I am prediabedic I have hypothyroidism and overweight, I was told to try them meditranian diet a little over a year ago by my Dr but she did not give me much info on it other then no sugar no red meat and lots of fruits and vegies so I did not really understand it I decited some time around christmas 2023 that I really needed to know more, so I started researching and found you on your tube I have been going through all your videos and watching them and I have subscribed to your channel, I have really do for enjoyed them whole food in his diet. So far as of today January the 21st, 2024 I have list 6 pounds I can't wait till I am under the 200 mark, thsnk you so much for helping me with your videos to learn and understand this way of life. 😊
Living in Spain make’s it easier to eat clean. Healthy food is part of our of living. I can say that your content is accurate and easy to understand. You make it fun. Keep up the great work.
I’m so excited for more live episodes! I made a bean soup today and my littles kept asking for more more! My both of my children under the age of 4, like salad and olives.
WOW!!! That's AWESOME to learn. I am learning now. I need to lose about 30lbs and I would be very happy with 15lbs in 6 weeks!! CONGRANDULATIONS TO YOU!!
Hello, Bill. I’m from Duluth, MN. Been attempting the Mediterranean diet for 6 months now. My muscle spasms completely disappeared after a week or so. I look forward to trying more recipes.
I have decided to join this lifestyle. In June, after our school closed, I got rid of all processed foods from the house. Gave up my beloved butter and switched to EVOO. Now. I bake my own grain-filled bread. Loaded up on fruits and vegetables. After 2 months, I feel great. Thanks. I'm an American, living in Tanzania. I don't like garlic, avocado, or hummus, but I just take these out of my equation.
Hi from Chicago! I found your channel last year & I’m so grateful as I’m not a cook and needed someone to show me. As of today I have lost 40 pounds. So thank you for your channel, it really does help. I do have a question I hope you or someone can answer, is Monk Fruit with Erythritol sweetener ok to add in my tea?
Thanks for the kind words and congratulations on the 40 pound weight loss! Sugars that have sweetness to them can cause some similar effects as regular sugar. Some artificial sugars, for example, have been shown to actually not be helpful for weight loss. Erythritol is a natural sweetener that needs more research. It is probably fine though, but I would use it in small amounts.
I missed the live broadcast 😢 but I am going to tell you what I learned anyway. I have been on a fat free diet (twice) in my life and both times my cholesterol numbers skyrocketed. I learned that A) olive oil will bring down my numbers and B) I am not hungry 24/7 eating this way. On the fat, salt and oil free diet I was hungry ALL the time! Bravo Bill and Winter. I ordered the Foods of Crete book. Can hardly wait to get it.
Hi from Honduras my 30 yr old daughter and I Just started mediteranean meal plan 3 weeks ago I've been streaming your videos thank you I am learning so much and loving the food . Question what drinks do you recomend besides lots of water?
I’ve read that you can drink coffee (without a bunch of sugar obviously), as well as tea too! Some organic tea especially with a bit of raw honey is a great option
Just bought a 3L tin of the Terra Creta Olive oil online. I hear it’s pretty good stuff? The misinformation on olive oil out there is super frustrating. Thanks!
I would love to spend the money on your Olive oil, but I'm a father on a budget! Pompeian (Smooth) Extra Virgin Olive Oil is what I've been using for a while now and would like to know if this is an OK choice (I never knew about the 'burn,' so I need to check). If possible what you may recommend otherwise?
This may be a very dumb question…. But I want to embrace Mediterranean lifestyle, however I love Mexican and Asian dishes. Many of these Mexican and Asian dishes have clean ingredients. Can these be incorporated in Mediterranean lifestyle?
If it's a healthy diet you're looking for then yes. It's really about eating real food as opposed to processed food and incorporating as many real foods into your diet as you can and being sensible so don't just live on cheese for example. I eat what I call a fusion diet. It's about 80% Mediterranean but I also make curries and eat rice dishes. As long as I'm using fresh produce it's all good. Don't get hung up on the name 'Mediterranean.' The word you should be focusing on is 'natural.'
Hello from Alaska! I recently found your channel and the recipes all look wonderful! Sadly your live stream happened during our kindergarten writing lessons! 😜
I've just thought to ask would you consider Spanish Chorizo sausage to be clean eating. It has the authentic Spanish label. Sadly though, it has sodium nitrate in it. Very few cured meats over here in the UK exclude that preservative.
I'm in Tanzania East Africa. I am allergic to fresh garlic and onions. I can eat them if they're well cooked. But I don't like fresh garlic's smell or taste.

I didn’t realize how much extra virgin olive oil we can use and is very healthy

I can't wait to start this diet.
Hi Cindy from Maryland. Eager to learn to eat a clean diet.
Learned good things about how to buy/use olive oil.
Just bought a 3L tin of the Terra Creta Olive oil online. I hear it’s pretty good stuff? The misinformation on olive oil out there is super frustrating. Thanks!
Love your recipes and the information you share. I got the Crete cooking book
Hi, thanks for this, I missed the start so watching after it finished. Can I order the Cookbook from NZ please?
I love the olive oil you guys sell. I’ve bought 2 bottles at a time
Thank you!
Watching from Indiana. Will this diet help with Arthritis symptoms
HI Terri, Although everyone is different, the Mediterranean Diet has been shown to help decrease arthritis symptoms. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29256100/
love the site from Australia.
Thank you!
Vegetable oil comes from seed eg., sunflower seeds.
As soon as it gets cooler I will be trying the bean soup!!
Hello Bill, I am from Memphis TN. Enjoy your you tube clips. Mike
I learned about cold press EVOO, what the “burn” in your throat indicates.
The "burn" in your throat comes from the freshness of the oil.
I would love to spend the money on your Olive oil, but I'm a father on a budget! Pompeian (Smooth) Extra Virgin Olive Oil is what I've been using for a while now and would like to know if this is an OK choice (I never knew about the 'burn,' so I need to check). If possible what you may recommend otherwise?
Update: the olive oil I mentioned does have a nice burn to it!
Great! I also recommend the Costco Kirkland brand and the Trader Joe's extra virgin which are both fairly affordable.
How much is the program
Hi Bill I am from Key west Fl
I really want to try Mediterranean living , I am try to learn your recipes
Thank you so much for teaching us
You are welcome!
Excellent food and authentic
I didn’t know the burn in the olive oil is the anti inflammatory like ibuprofen.

I’m just starting the Mediterranean Diet, I have high cholesterol but I really can’t afford to lose any weight
My dietitian would say give up white flours, limit eggs to 1-2/week (use egg whites), eat chicken peas, pistachios, raw red onion, don't eat red meat.
I watch from the Netherlands
oh just noticed these videos are not live
Does the Mediterranean diet include eggs at all?
Yes.

I'm a cancer survivor from Colorado. I do not like seafood, so that's always been a problem with the Mediterranean diet. The smell alone makes me gag.
