They buy food from farmer's markets and fresh fish, or meat from the butcher and they prepare home cooked meals in good quality and healthy olive oil. They also do portion control and don't overdo fast food. At least that is what I come to understand from people from ITALY or visit there

Olive oil has more calories than butter.

@Humpelstilzchen

3 ай бұрын

​@@mikehawk302 That's true but calories aren't everything... There are 3 main points in favor of olive oil compared to butter. Firstly, olive oil has a better fatty acid composition than butter, as it consists primarily of unsaturated fatty acids (such as those found in fish, avocados and nuts). Background: Unsaturated fatty acids have several double bonds between the carbon atoms. In comparison, there are saturated fatty acids (such as those found in butter, cream and sausage), where there are no double bonds between the carbon atoms. Unsaturated fatty acids are therefore more reactive and can be used in a variety of ways in the metabolism. The German Nutrition Society therefore recommends replacing saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids. This reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and the cholesterol concentration in the blood. Secondly, olive oil contains vitamin K, vitamin E, provitamin A and, above all, polyphenols. Background: Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that slow down the formation of free radicals in the body and counteract oxidative stress and cell damage. They are antioxidant, blood pressure regulating and anti-inflammatory.

@@Gallic_Gabagool That’s 1/3 the obesity rate of the USA. And that doesn’t factor in the amount of absolute whales in the States. Obesity is classified as a BMI of 30 and over. Colloquially we would rarely call anyone with a BMI of 30 obese. Tubby, overweight, chubby, maybe fat etc. The amount of grotesquely fat people in the States is truly shocking. It is relatively rare to see people carrying that much fat in Europe.

And one important point is: Italians cook with love and care and great respect to the food. Meal ingredients are so much more expensive, but often from better quality! It's a total different mindset like e.g. we Germans have (many & cheap)

Irene, you hit the nail on the head when it comes to eating wisely. Portion control is so important. If you can control the portions, you can eat just about anything.

The main thing I noticed when I went to Italy was selling pizza in small slices and using real fresh ingredients not having a whole pizza to yourself, the serving of pasta is much smaller than we are used to in the UK you can eat anything you want but if it's a huge portion gaining weight and becoming overweight will always inevitable, smaller portions mean less calories a normal weight or skinny.

People in Europe seem to walk a lot more than Americans. Plus they don't indulge in so much fast food. However there is a danger of over indulging in great European food as an outsider. My friend from Canada decided to move to Paris for a job. He gained 70 lbs. in one year. It was all those sauces, bread, and wine. The fact that France has more than 350 types of cheese did not help either.

This why I love italy 🇮🇹 ❤

I remember staying at a hotel at Lake Garda in Northern Italy. Almost all of the guests were Germans or Austrians, but there was a group of about 30 y/o Italians. In the morning the German/Austrian badly dressed and in many cases overweight hordes swarmed the breakfast buffet and stuffed themselves with tons of food. When almost all the Germans were gone the Italian group arrived in the breakfast area, got themselves a cappuccino and a small breakfast. They enjoyed their very moderate breakfast, the morning sun and the view on the now almost empty patio before heading off to - judging by their dress - a bike tour. That was a very vivid lesson, showing the difference between culture and barbarianism. It was almost surreal.

Well, thanks for teaching me about your culture and culinary habits Amazing❤

Really nice video Irene, I just subscribed to your channel and liked it! As an Italian living abroad, I'm often asked "why don't Italians get fat?", or "how can you eat so much?", etc. (disclaimer: I am a very thin person 😆) It got to the point I started doubting our diet and culinary choices. However, I soon realized that what non-Italians often perceive or think about our diet is not so true. You very well explained it in the video, talking about our breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Living in Slovakia, I realized that e.g. they might not always eat pizza and pasta (it's a common misconception that Italian always eat that anyway), but they eat very fatty foods, being it cheeses, butters, meats, etc. and the same applies to many tasty dishes from all over north/northeast Europe, or with fast food, etc. Fizzy drinks is also something very common 'abroad', while we normally only drink water with our daily meals - especially at home!

So walking is the best option to go from point A to point B. Because I walk a lot in Italy, it contributes to my weight loss in my Italian trip

#1 thing is that Italy does NOT spray their wheat with folic acid, which is a poison and does not convert into folate.

Never get fat?? (Thumbnail)That’s a huge exaggeration. Obesity in Italy has been increasingly cited as a major health issue in recent years. 45% of the Italian population have a BMI over 25, which is the limit for normal weight. That means 34% is overweight. It’s quite good by many standards but you can’t say that Italians never get fat.

No industrial HFCS nor chemically extracted and bleached seed oils (canola, soybean, cotton seed). Poor labeling leads to olive oil being diluted with seed oils, or olive oil being extracted with the same processing as seed oils. Longer food transport distances so everything is picked green and ripens in the trucks, store, or home and not on the tree/vine.
