Hello: I'm new to this forum and I've had PMR for almost 3 years. I posted this information to a post string in which members had started a conversation about the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet. PMR Pro suggested that I start a new Post on this topic, so here goes:
I work with a group of physicians in Colorado, who (mostly) agree that the Mediterranean Diet, to date, has the most medical evidence supporting its health benefits for the general population. I produced a "fun" video with some of these physicians on the Mediterranean diet which you can find here:
From my personal experience with PMR, I seem to do better with a modified Mediterranean Diet...lowering my carb consumption, even the whole grains, and upping the proteins. My struggle is finding the time to make sure I get all the vegetables and leafy greens recommended.
I noticed that there are many more videos out there now on the Mediterranean diet, so I'm off to watch them. Best to you!

Glad you liked it Actually, I am not a clinician myself, and I try to feature the clinicians as much as possible in the videos...mixing local actors with local physicians and nurses. So, I don't appear in the video at all. But, I did co-write and produce it along with a local videographer here in Colorado. It was a lot of fun to do and hopefully will be helpful to folks.
My apologies as I am not a tech specialist. If you are accessing from an "intranet", perhaps at work, some won't allow users to access any public video content. But I'll try one more link in case this works better youtube.com/watch?v=NHQZsJS...
Oh dear. I'm not sure. You could go to Youtube and search for BVCN Mediterranean Diet or perhaps it will load up for you on the Vimeo platform which is here: vimeo.com/157618398
It always makes me laugh - I live in Italy, no-one, but no-one, eats the way the Mediterranean diet is presented! They still live a long time though!
Up here in the mountains they eat vast quantities of fat (butter and lard), processed meats (Speck, smoked and dried ham) and cheese. No olive oil and relatively few veg. They are still climbing the mountains and riding bikes in their 80s.
Something like that. And this morning's news article that "even 2 small glasses of wine gives you cancer" - our local gentlemen are to be found sitting in the sun with their first glass of wine about 10.30. Further south it is before 9am while reading the paper ...
I've been on the C-food diet for years. Maybe that's how I ended up here? Now on the afore-mentioned modified Mediterranean diet. Trying new foods and new ideas, and certainly on a more sustainable path.
Thanks so much for this! I am doing the blood sugar diet which is a low calorie version of the Mediterranean diet. I haven't managed 800 calories but am staying below 1300 calories. So this will give me some inspiration. 😀
Very cute! I'm def following this without realizing it. However, I think I eat chicken more than moderately and red meat about 2-3 times per month. I crave it. Even the sugar in yogurt makes me sick! I physically feel pain when I don't eat right. Maybe it's in my head!

At least, I'm assuming that is you? Loved it!
