Excellent – Concise & Informative. The Mediterranean-Keto Chart @ Dr. Becky's site is a great visual that makes it even Simpler 😊
I have a Homestead and we’ve raised a lot of grass fed beef so I’m not going to eliminate that from my diet, but because I have FH I would like to lean more towards the Mediterranean diet. We have a lot of eggs and we have raw goat milk and love our raw Kiefer. I’m trying to eat more fish like sardines because my LDL is very high because I’m genetically FH. I am not insulin resistant and my CAC score was only 19.6. getting CIMT soon. I’m a 69 and 5’; 122 lbs. My cholesterol doubled when I went on high saturated fat so I’ve had to retract and focus on olive oil and avacado. Do you think three eggs a day is too much for a Mediterranean diet? I try to have a portion of fish daily, like sardines, salmon or mackerel.
You'd only do this diet to try and sound as though you're doing something cool. Keto is fine as it is… no benefit to Keto Mediterranean
Ah, no. Fish costs more than rib eye now…update this to fit the economy.
Im starting a seafood only medi keto diet do you have any tips please x
No Yogurt and dairy? I m sorry NO! I had diabetes 2, and i eat all day yogurt and cheese (among others of course), and help me to disappear diabetes , no medicine at all. I m Greek, no yogurt? Come on!
My colesterol 331 APoB 240
This is just a Pescatarian diet.
Great video. I lost 65 lbs on keto over the past year, had a physical, and everything looked good except LDL, went really high. I told my doctor I wanted to tweak my diet to reduce (instead of recommended more statins) and had already decided I eat too much cheese, eggs, processed meats, so this modification, adding more veggies and fish to my diet looks like exactly the tweaking I need. Thanks for posting!
If you agree omitting those med foods…is it really med?
Good video that's exactly what I'm doing except also cutting down a lot of dairy products 😌👍
Dr. Gillaspy, is there a better keto diet that doesn't raise your LDL cholesterol? I've lost weight ( 25 lbs.) but Im still having high blood pressure and elevated LDL.
I've been doing keto for a year but after some research I think avoiding red meats a bit more and basically moving more towards mostly seafood and some chicken might be healthier in the long run. Saturated fats is what I want to lessen in my diet so I will be trying to move a bit more towards the mediterranean version of keto. I eat lots of avo's and nuts anyway, some cheese and lots of low carb veg. I hardly ever touch fruits but when I do it might be a few berries. I think mostly I have to lower my consumption of butter and ghee and red meat and I think there aren't any specific rules to have to follow.. I'm trying to maintain this as my weekly diet as a lifestyle.
I just also believe that you have to somehow refill your glycogen stores every now and then. I realized after the first 3 months of strict keto that your body starts to really need that as it feels famished and you get this sort of slump. So I do sometimes on the odd occasion have some carbs and then jump straight back in and feel great again.
I have lower back pain, stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis. I'm overweight by about 80 lbs, and the neurologist recommended that I lose weight on the keto- Mediterranean diet. ❤
Beef is the most nutrient dense of all meats and does not cause heart disease, same with animal fat. I will continue focusing on eating mostly beef and incorporate the other parts of Mediterranean.
Thank you for this!!!! I, was doing Keto however I love the Mediterranean too.
Question? How can one stay in ketosis with the carb content from these vegetables and the dairy?
So what can u eat
I’m looking for a diet/lifestyle to help me lose weight. I’m newly menopausal and need to lose 50lbs. This looks like a healthy approach to keto – I’m going to give it a shot. Thank you!
This diet kicks you out of ketosis and you won’t be fat burning state
This again takes you to diabetics and obesity 😂
How is the Med diet limiting meat. The Med diet in those countries have Lamb, Chicken, and pork.
I live in cyprus and alot of the foods excluded are actually a big part of the diet here 2 big examples dairy and red meat . Main difference from other regions is these come mostly from sheep and goats . Please before giving advice like this on the internet make sure you know your stuff eg what the locals actually eat in their homes not a media version of it . Barbecues are a weekly affair and there no barbecue without lamb . Yoghurt is basically a side dish to almost everything. In the present economy fish is getting expensive and alot of locals are going the chicken route. Even traditional "street foods" like kebab and gyros are all poultry or red meat based and they come served with side of dairy usually yoghurt just plain or tzatziki sauce . Lets not even go into their consumption of fresh cheeses like halloumi for breakfast and spreads like labne So i reall dobt know what mediteranean diet your referring to in this video
When people say there is such a thing as Mediterranean diet….😂😂😂😂😂
Love it!
My perception of this diet is it’s based on fish. Gross to me. 😊
I need to understand this. I am diabetic and need to get my lifestyle together.
Dr Fuhrman claims that drizzling olive oil all over your food, is a difficult way to lose weight. I am so confused with all these diets out there.
I have had success with KETO, and South Beach. My body responds well when I reduce carbohydrates to 20 grams or 50 grams, daily.
Can I fast with gallstones ?
Fish is very expensive ,not sure I'm rich enough for this diet.
This was great. My wife is all about a Mediterranean Diet and I lean towards Keto – with common sense. I've been saying they are not that far apart when you emphasize healthy choices.
Dr. Becky, can you please suggest breakfast options with this type of diet, since eggs are on the list of foods to limit? Thank you.
Very helpful, thank you
Thank you for the great video and break down. I'm doing low carb to reverse prediabetes. I realized I'm doing a version of this so woohoo. Only on week one but getting there, plus I'm fasting.
Is there a reason Pacific Cod isn't on the list?
I’m following Mediterranean right now with pregnancy, but after I need to loose 10-15lbs. I was thinking about mixing the two, but wouldn’t my weight come right back on after I do med keto? I don’t want to do that forever. I like the freedom on the med diet (I really don’t over indulge and I’m not super overwheight. I’m just insulin resistant)
