In fact, there is no such thing as ITALIAN CUISINE as every region of Italy has its own unique and specific food. It’s estimated that Americanised Italian food has about 82% more calories than traditional cuisines. So if you are planning to drop a few kilos this year - you better stick to traditional Italian cuisine. 🇮🇹 Traditional Italian breakfast Typical every day Italian breakfast is coffee. Yes just a cup of coffee. It can be cappuccino of course but it can be a simple double espresso. And that’s it. However, if you are tourist in Rome and want to have the best traditional Italian breakfast experience with an amazing cornetto, great soya cappuccino in a super traditional Roman place - try Est. 🇮🇹 Traditional Italian Lunch Lunch at home is always freshly cooked from delicious local ingredients. Traditional lunch will be lots of vegetables, some proteins like meat or fish. For meat it’s likely to be lean versions like veal, beef.. Nothing will be cooked using butter. Only olive oil. No one will spread butter on a piece of bread. Italians never do this. No one will be mixing olive oil with balsamic vinegar and dipping the bread into this mix - it is not Italian habit. Most probably this thing was invented by tourists. 🇮🇹 Lunch out is a different story - here Italians might have pasta or some other delicious food offered by the restaurant. EST IN ROME 👉🏼 ‼️ Home made traditional pasta, delicious Roman and a great variety of other traditional dishes you have absolutely try when you are in Rome. 🇮🇹 TRADITIONAL ITALIAN DINNER When the Italians go out for dinner! That’s the time when they will have pizza, pasta, risotto and some other amazing dishes for dinner! Going out for the Italians is like being on stage: 1. You have to be properly dressed up for the occasion 2. You have to be surrounded by great people 3. You have to enjoy every moment of your performance - your experience with food: starting from choosing it, then waiting and the finally tasting every single bite of it.. ‼️ ADVICE - how to stay skinny Italian way HOW ITALIANS CAN STAY SO SKINNY? 1 - Skip meals - breakfast 2 - Only natural ingredients - Exclude processed food - no fast food 3 — Size matter - mind your portion! 4 - Drink mainly water 5 - Treat sweet pastry in the morning .. as a treat, not as everyday routine 6 - Have a strict schedule for your food consumption and don’t eat in between. Feel hungry, take a fruit, vegetable or some nuts 7 - Cut off your alcohol consumption Yes, Italians really don’t drink much. A few glasses of wine with their dinner and that’s it! 8 - Food is not a fuel - it’s a pleasure. Slow down and enjoy every single bite… every single sip of it.

    @johnsarkissian55194 months ago I lived in Italy for two years in the 1980s. My experience was this: For breakfast, Italians just had a coffee and a cornetto or skipped breakfast altogether. However, they had large meals both at lunchtime and dinner time. In fact, lunch and dinner menus were practically the same consisting of two courses, the first course being a big plate of pasta, risotto, or minestrone, and then a second course of meat and some cooked or raw vegetables. Lunch would be at noon, and dinner sometime between 7:00pm-9:00pm. Between the two meals, one would often have a snack, that is some kind of dessert. It was a lot of eating, but surprise, surprise, Italians were as thin then as they are now. The secret to their physical fitness is healthy ingredients in their food and lots and lots of physical activity as simple as walking to work or school and spending a lot of time outdoors. ... 42

    @thesmoker40272 years ago “Food is not a fuel, is a pleasure” i think this is the best sentence that describes what italians think of food, all of the food culture in italy is based on this sentence, no matter which part of italy. 767
  • @
    @giovannicolosi50582 years ago I'm Italian and I found several errors in the video, but the two key right takaways are:
    1. Portions matter, we eat generally less;
    2. Un-processed foods are less fattening: vegetables, meat, fish, pasta* are better than processed foods. And we also generally use way less sauces, like ketchup, bbq etc; these were introuced 30 years ago with fast foods.
    *pasta is quite easy to abuse too being cheap and calorie dense.
    -> Let's look at real situation and no the postcard version: There are rising obesity rates also in Italy, especially in the less wealthy regions, due to processed foods being way cheaper than meat/fish. And... also Italians can get drunk, especially in smaller cities and villages in the countryside were "vine and food festivals" ("sagre") are held, it's common to see peole rolling on grass after many drinks.
    Last but not least: how can come to your mind that "People who see food as a pleasure stay thinner than who see food as fuel"? People educated about nutrition tend to eat less and less processed foods. It's pure logic, you wouldn't fuel your car 2 times its capacity, while if the food becomes one of your main pleasures (remember: poorer regions, fatter regions), you'll probably get fat.

    @supertrooper43537 months ago I think the secret is also they use lot of natural ingredients and the meals are well proportioned/moderated. I tried a eggplant parm pizza in Campania a few years ago, and it was soo light, delicious, which is much different from eating processed crap you find at dominos and pizza hut. It's not only what you eat, it's also how and where you eat it. ... 56

    @johnlibonati78077 months ago I lived in Perugia, Italy for six months 30 years ago when I was 20 years old. People were thinner until they reached middle age for the following reasons: 1. Italian portions are 1/3 the size of American portions. I thought I was going to starve when I got there but quickly became used to the meal sizes. 2. At least in the city, everyone walks everywhere. 3. Almost none of the streets are flat. You have to take stairs or walk uphill or downhill anywhere you want to go. It is like doing the Stairmaster or treadmill on incline or decline every day. 4. The stairs are set at an awkward height making you expend more energy. This was to stop invaders from running through the city. 5. Most food is prepared from scratch, so you eat less processed garbage. I don’t know if the people in Perugia are still thin, but when I lived there, they were very attractive with an almost Twilight cast look. Pale skin, thin builds, chiseled facial features. Main reasons from what I could tell: they eat much less and exercise much more as part of their lifestyle. ... 13

  • @
    @filipporubino41632 years ago Breakfast at a bar is, as you said, an occasional treat, but I wouldnt say that most Italians just have a coffee for breakfast. It's not considered healthy, generally speaking. Very young and quite old people usually have hot milk (with or without coffee) and biscuits or cereals. People with a little more health awareness might have something like yogurt with fruits or granola/nuts and often drink alternative "milk" (almond/rice/soy milk). People with a very active life, like me, might even have a little "second breakfast" at around 10.30. ... 201

    @tancreddehauteville7642 years ago How do Italians stay slim? Simple - they have almost nothing for breakfast and never (or very rarely) have snacks between meals. It's a culture of two meals a day, and nothing more, other than many cups of coffee. In the Anglosphere, we have four meals a day and snacks in between! ... 108

    @ToniLovesSkateboarding11 months ago It's amazing to see how other cultures treat food differently than here in the USA. The only shock to me is how I've personally changed my diet to the worst since I've lived in the states. I grew up in Venezuela until I was 21 and it was very similar to the italians in the sense that all 3 meals at home were made from scratch, not cans... Everyday. McDonald's was seen as a treat and my parents would take us there once every couple of months. I've lived in the states for 21 years now, so 50-50 and I'm 45lbs heavier than when I moved. most of our meals at home come from a jar or a frozen bag and fast food is so convenient that I eat it if not weekly, pretty close to. This video just opened my eyes. I need to make some changes :) ... 108

There is an olive tree and/ or a fig tree in every yard no matter how small. So beautiful! ... 15
  • @
    @persephone2132 years ago I like this food philosophy of sitting down and taking your time to eat slowly and really enjoy the food rather than overdo it. I’ve heard the French do a similar thing. In the US, most people I know eat crazy fast and I’m often the last one eating even though I had the same amount (or less even) of food and I think it’s a good thing, love to take time to slowly enjoy good food. 😋 ... 138

    @lorenzor25552 years ago As an italian I think that sadly we too are overweight. Not like americans but still too fat.
    I also think that even if we eat “fat” dishes, we eat lot of fresh ingredients, our portions are generally smaller than abroad. Plus we eat very little breakfast. And because we live more in tradicional old cities, we move a lot by walk or by bike.
    But even those think are not sufficient to keep us perfectly fit

Maybe it's all that walking, the fresh fruit and vegetables... dunno. But Italians, along with the French people and the Japanese, are for sure onto something. ... 31

    @luizfilipe2019 months ago Dieta mediterrânica! I'm portuguese, and we used to eating fruits, lot of "legumes" fresh or soups, lot and lot of fish, meat, bread, and red wine😊. That's all about, like you say very well in your video, avoid processed food, processed drinks... one main think in me opinion, t for example the cakes on the Supermarket got two months of fresh validity for consumer, but if you made a cake at home with eggs, sugar, etc. it only stay fresh for 4 days😮, something must ring on our brain?! The process food is full of chimicals, and fat. Every single time i've been in Itália i eat and drink very well, they are so "perfeccionisti" and made things with love, and they love to show us, the food in Portugal are very good too, but the italians doing better, always a step ahead, even the coffee on a coffee shop are something like tasty...not just a regular coffee. ... 6

And fresh fruit for dessert. This is the culture of eating. Also very important thing is that italians always eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. ...

    @VegasLoungeAct2 years ago Italians live a completely different lifestyle than we do in America. Italians take the time to enjoy things more, especially food.

Italians do it right. ... 4

Second, I ask myself how terrible the U.S. are in regard to food and nutrition (because for the most part this "cultural shock" videos and in general opinions are from Americans). I'm schoked about how all these habits are considered something antiquate and a bit luxourious by Americans. I live in a touristic city and I see that Americans often try to be more italian in style and in behaviour but they can't do it completely. I'm proud to be grown in a country where times and history shaped the habit of a good life. I only hope that all our culture will not be lost due to its commercialization. ... 251

    @emanucap992 weeks ago nice video Anna as Italian I agree with all the thinks you said
  • @
    @nicoladc892 years ago There is a big difference between the Italian cuisine and the US cuisine: sugar. The Italian average consumption of total sugars (including carbs) is less than the US consumption of only added sugars. More than 90% of Italians consume less sugar than the dose per day reccomended by WHO. A high consumption of sucrose increases the production of fat (by turning fructose into fat) and prevents the body from eliminating it, and increase the appetite. So a diet with a lot of sucrose make you more fat than a diet without sucrose, with the same quantity of calories.
    Eat an apple and drink a glass of water (around 20 grams of sugar) instead of drinking a "healthy" juice with 3 apples, 1 orange, 4 strawberries and a carrot (around 90 grams of sugar). Eat a fat rib of beef with a glass of Valpolicella Ripasso (0 grams of sugars) instead of a Big Mag with a Medium Sprite (60 grams of sugar).

    @tijentunali98975 days ago Everybody knows in Turkey people have a huuuuuuuge breakfast but they are thin because 1. they dont go everywhere by car. Walking in the city is very common. 2. they have a healthy mediterranean diet with lots of vegetables for lunch and dinner. 3. Every meal contains at least 1 salad and 1 vegetarian olive oil cold appetizer so you dont have so much appetite left for main course.4. portions are half the size of the US. 5. They cook at home with ingredients they buy in open markets and sometimes directly from farmers. ...

    @chaliflare9669last year She showed us only restaurant food not what Italians typically eat. When she described what they eat at home they were all photos of dressed up meals. It would be interesting to see examples of what they’re actual food looks like that is cooked at home. ... 13

    @carolamendoladanca2 years ago Yes, it's the clean food, simple preparations and the lifestyle that keeps Italians thin. I'm always amused when the general population thinks Italians are eating big bowls of pasta and pizzas. A small amount of pasta as a primi piatti (small plate) is plenty. My life most of the year is in the states but my heart is always in Italy as a citizen of Italy. ... 4

    @pataudi80252 years ago This is definitely one of my favorite videos from you. The way you've described Italian habits plus the memes
    Especially the Apple bite cracked me up! Although I'm not fat but sure a cup of cappuccino as breakfast sounds like a deal! ...

    @28jewelsboogie8 months ago Love the comment, “Fast food is like fast love, not really memorable”. Love the description by you of relishing foods and sugar pastries are a treat, only in Italy for most. Living in Northern California eating seasonally like the Italians and mainly organic produce/meats is doable. Growing your own veg is very economical. Most people rush around with kids and work and neglect their basic needs like good nutrition. Fast food/processed is killing people to be sure all over the world. ... 3
