Italian Diet
Ideal meals
Sweets, oil & fats
Meat & dairy products
Fruits & vegetables.
Bread, pasta & rice
(carbohydrates)
The Italian diet is based on
this pyramid, so it’s often
advised for people who
want to lose weight or want
to have a balanced diet
Why the pyramid?
• This is the ideal diet because if a person
eats in this way, she/he will consume the
correct portion of vitamins, carbohydrates,
sugar, fats, and so on!
• Obviously this diet should be united with
physical exercise!
Usually we have breakfast
at home, but a lot Italian
people also have it in a bar.
Breakfast
In Italy we usually have breakfast with a cup
of milk, tea, coffee or cappuccino (a typical
Italian drink made of milk & coffee) and
biscuits or croissant. We are not used to
eat eggs, bacon or foods like that.
Lunch time
Lunch is the second most important meal in
the Italian diet. Mostly in the past, people
used to eat for lunch a plate of pasta or
meat/fish with vegetables. Nowadays
always more people for time and work
reasons eat only a sandwich or a snack.
Usually Italian people have lunch at
work or in the school canteen,
sometimes also in bar or in
restaurants… Seldom we have lunch
at home!
Dinner
Dinner is the most important meal in the
day… We usually eat pasta, meat/fish with
vegetables or pizza. (In base of what we
ate for lunch)
Italian people usually have dinner
at home with all the family in the
kitchen or in the dining room… For
dinner we usually seat at the same
table and we speak about what is
happened during the day.
Italian healthy food
• In Italy there are a lot of healthy food such
as pasta, pizza, but all depends on the
sauce!
• One of the most healthy and popular food
is “mozzarella alla caprese”… a tipical dish
made by italian mozzarella, fresh italian
tomatoes and italian oliven oil (and if you
want some fresh leaves of basil)!
Our eating habits
How we eat
• For eating we are used to using a fork,
knife, spoon (and a little spoon or fork for
the dessert).
Here there is our wide range
of cutleries!!!
Where we eat
• In our home we usually eat in the
kitchen or in the diving room. Here
there are two examples!
Who do we eat with?
In Italy we love to eat while
we are sitting with the family
or friends all around the
same table, but nowadays
life has introduced some
problems… We have always
more appointments and
things to do, so we often
have to eat a sandwich, while
we are walking, or something
in a café or in the school
canteen.
Food problems
The Mediterranean diet that has always been used in Italy is a
balanced diet, so the population doesn’t have big problems
… but nowadays with the
globalization and the
arrival of new kind of diet
new problems, such as
obesity, are increasing!
...but there is another basic
problem: anorexia! In Italy,
even more people are
influenced by fashion that
promotes models undersize
and even more girls and
sometimes boys fall in this
problem…
EASTER
EASTER
Easter is the most
important religious feast of
the Christian liturgical year,
observed at some point
between late March and
late April each year (early
April to early May in
Eastern Christianity),
following the cycle of the
moon. It celebrates the
resurrection of Jesus
Easter’s meal: first plate & side
dish
The Easter’s meal is a good occasion to have a lunch with the whole
family. Like every Italian lunch every Italian family has a first and a
second plate, the first plate usually is tortellini cooked in meat or
vegetable soup. In some families people eat firstly red radicchio as
side dish.
Easter’s meal: second plate
What do you think we usually eat as second plate at Easter?
a)
Bull or cow.
b)
Donkey or horse.
c)
Duck or goose
d)
Kid or lamb.
Easter’s meal: second plate
LAMB
KID
We usually eat lamb or kid because they are symbols of Jesus Christ.
Easter’s meal: Colomba
After the second plate we usually have a special cake, named
Colomba.
What do you think this cake represents?
a)
Dove
b)
Eagle
c)
Monkeybird
d)
Sparrow
EASTER’S MEAL: COLOMBA
That’s a dove!
Dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit!
In fact on Easter morning in Florence is
tradition to let fly a dove from the tower
bell of the doom.
But there is also another popular sweet
that is really particoular…
THE CHOCOLATE EGG
Nowadays is become popular in Italy to give a chocolate egg as a
gift to relatives and friends. The peculiarity of this special egg is that
inside of the chocolate egg there is a surprise and everybody, above
all kids, looks forward to opening the egg to know which surprise is
hidden inside it.
ITALIAN FOOD HABITS
INQUIRY
TRADITIONAL DIET
A typical italian day starts with a breakfast, usually milk or
cappuccino with biscuits.
Then lunch and dinner are quite similar; there is always pasta
at least in one of them.
You have to know that in Italy we usually have two courses.
Pasta or rice (sometimes soup)
Meat or fish
with vegetables
or cheese
Finally we eat fruit.
As snack in the morning we drink coffee and in the afternoon we
eat sweets or fruit.
EATING HABITS
I think italian eating habits are quite healthy, in fact we
eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and our diet is various.
This means that we have a good proportion among
proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates.
On the other hand we could do better. We
don’t exactly follow the meditterean diet
because we eat few legumes and fibre; for
this reason we should eat brown bread and
brown pasta.
MEAL ATMOSPHERE
I’m going to describe one dinner at home. That’s the only meal my parents
and I eat always together.
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing.
We usually speak about our day, what has gone good and what bad.
But we have the “bad” habit to eat with tv switched on, thus we watch it and
we freely comment what is going on.
FOOD AWARENESS
I’m not really interested in what I eat,
in fact I’m not used to controlling my food.
Maybe because I trust my mother;
she usually goes shopping and I know
she only buys garanteed or brand food.
FOOD CHOICE
Until now I haven’t had any health problems,
therefore I’m quite satisfied of the food I eat.
In fact I try to vary my diet even if I know
that I should eat more fruit and vegetables
because they are rich in vitamins.
