January 29 - February 4, 2023 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • 19 tastytv BY GEORGE DICKIE The Mediterranean diet – YouTubers explain what it's about and how to get started If you've found that fad diets and counting calories have failed you in your quest to lose weight and be healthier, a solution from the old country might be worth a try in 2023. The Mediterranean diet has been around since the 1960s but only in recent years has it gained popularity with physicians and dieters for its emphasis on fresh fish, fruits, whole grains and vegetables that has been proven to promote heart and brain health, reduce the risk of disease and help maintain a healthy body weight. And make for satisfying eating at the same time. Best of all, information on it can be found for free all over the internet, and there are no shortage of videos on YouTube on how to eat like a Mediterranean. Such as the following. If you're ready to dive in but are uncertain how to proceed, "How to Get Started With a Mediterranean Diet" (www.youtube.com/watch?vGC8aMIpAxn4) is an excellent place to begin. Here, Dr. Kim Foster outlines her four steps for starting a Mediterranean diet, which she says are checking out the diet's food pyramid, making easy substitutions like replacing butter with olive oil, committing to one meatless dinner per week and shopping only in the perimeter of grocery store where fresh whole foods are found. No processed foods. One of the great advantages of the Mediterranean diet is an endless supply of recipes. On Well Done's "12 Mediterranean Diet Recipes" (www.youtube. com/watch?vsJXEU91MIIk), you'll find such imaginative fare as a Greek eggplant skillet dinner, grilled snapper with corn-okra relish, chicken barley soup with walnut pesto and spicy scallops with watermelon salsa. The video's page also contains links for each recipe. For those who want to hear about someone's real world experience with the diet, there is Beatrice Caruso's "I Tried the Mediterranean Diet for 14 Days & This Is What Happened ..." (www.youtube. com/watch?vNWL0K2tRCKQ). Here, she talks about the recipes she tried, did and didn't like; discusses the many upsides and few downsides she encountered and shares her results after two weeks of eating like a Mediterranean – feeling healthier, reduced anxiety and six pounds lighter. Pretty impressive. If you're still not sold, "8 Scientific Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet" (www.youtube.com/ watch?vxjPl7K5vh_M) may provide a compelling argument. Among the advantages of the diet – which have been echoed throughout the medical community – are reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and cognitive decline; help with weight loss and depression and reduced risk of stroke in women.
