Found this on MPA and I plan on doing this diet, IAM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THIS DIET:
before dinner, portion sizes are small
meat dishes (yes this includes fish and poultry) are always small portions
carb heavy dishes should be low in fat and can be moderate in size
try to avoid soft drinks and juices
keep it relatively low in fat (oil is still used, as is whole milk, but keep it in minimal use)
alcohol in small amounts, but stick mostly to red wines
obviously water is important
Coffee espresso or long black (low cal coffee)
small dessert or biscotto (simple sugars are important in the morning)
Small serving of cooked vegetables (usually starchy) OR
small serving of cooked fish OR
small sandwich (make sure it has vegetables in it)
Italian women don’t really snack, but when they do it’s usually fruit OR a small biscotto.
Dinner is usually generous because you haven’t eaten much all day,
And with the pasta sauces, make sure it’s tomato or vegetable based as white sauces are very fatty.
Soups are NOT broths, these soups are thick and have loads of veggies in it. May have beans or lentils as well.
A salad can be added if you like though it usually isn’t a staple.
For dinner, you can have all the dishes listed below or you can pick and choose which ones to have.
Generally the Italians will have all three but sometimes they will only have two.
pasta, rice, or soup dish
A SMALL fish or meat dish, if you’re veggie this is usually replaced with mushrooms, eggplants, or stuffed capsicum.
Cooked vegetables: potatoes, pumpkin, grilled capsicum, artichokes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, literally any vegetable.
Dessert is usually not had because they eat their sweets during the day.
In Italy, no one really drinks diet soft drinks, or soft drinks at all really.
They drink coffee, wine, and sometimes stronger liquors in the winter.
The coffee is always short black/espresso and th
This diet is super easy to make vegetarian because the skinny Italians don’t eat a lot of meat. The focus for main meals is on
complex carbohydrates and vegetables. And all the desserts are veggie.
To make it vegan just have vegan desserts and don’t have cheese on your pasta or in your sandwich. Veganism is actually
gaining a lot of popularity in Italy and pretty much all meals have a vegan alternative. Soy milk is used a lot in Italy as well.
BY MAKING THE DIET VEGAN, YOU ALSO ELIMINATE HEAPS OF CALORIES SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Unfortunately making this diet paleo would probably be quite hard since breakfast foods are generally sweets but you can
always substitute fruit for that. And instead of having pasta for dinner rice is commonly used instead, or soups as well.
Still the focus should be on vegetables rather than meat.
For low-carb, this diet is pretty much impossible.
Breakfast: espresso with ½ cup of coconut rice pudding (200cals)
Lunch: small sandwich with tomato, olives, pickled capsicum and lettuce (250cals)
Snack: 2 kiwi fruits (150cals)
Dinner: 1 cup of pasta with simple tomato and basil sauce, 3 grilled eggplant slices, and sauteed broccoli and green beans. (600cals)
If one of the dinner meals is ejected the total cals are:
No broccoli and beans: 1050cals
