Have you ever wondered why the land of pasta, bread, and wine is filled with so many healthy, thin people?

In this 3 part series, I’m interviewing Isabella Drake, a half Italian/half American friend, who studied food production for 3 years in Italy and got her masters in food technology. Let’s learn what Italy gets right about eating and how we can eat more like Italians.

In part 2, we cover…

- Do people in Italy ever talk about “mindful eating,” or is it just naturally built into how they eat?

- What surprises you about portion sizes, snacking habits, or how Italians respond to hunger and fullness?

- You’ve lived in both Italy and the U.S. — what emotional or psychological differences have you seen in how people talk about food, guilt, or body image?

- Why do you think Italians seem to experience less guilt or anxiety around food?

- How is wheat processed different in Italy? Why can gluten intolerant people eat bread in Italy?
