 Okay, you've heard me say it before. The purpose of food is to get more olive oil in your mouth. In fact, I suggest about 12 tablespoons per day. But Dr. Gundry, it's impossible to eat that much olive oil. And isn't it really high calorie? Let me answer this second question first. Yes, it's high calorie. Not all calories are created equal. And when it comes to olive oil, the more the better. It's great for your heart, your brain, your immune system, even your weight. You heard me right. Olive oil could help you slim down. In fact, a study done in Spain found that people who ate a diet supplemented with a liter of olive oil per week lost more weight than those who ate a similar diet without the olive oil. But eating that much olive oil every day can be a challenge, especially if you don't want to drink it plain. So what can you do? Today I want to share three easy ways to get more olive oil into your diet every day. First, eat your greens for breakfast. Here's the thing about American breakfast. They're heavy in starch and protein, but light in the things that really boost your health, like vegetables. But not only is eating polyphenol loaded greens a great way to boost your energy in the morning, it's a great way to boost your olive oil intake. I suggest sauteing bitter greens like kale or chard with olive oil, and then drizzle it with a little more olive oil before serving. It's a pretty filling breakfast on its own, but the sauteed greens are great with kale too. Number two, turn it into a sauce. Okay, so maybe plain olive oil isn't your thing. That's fine. It can be too bitter for some people, but it's easy to turn plain olive oil into a satisfying dipping sauce or dressing for greens. All it takes is a little creativity. I suggest combining some crushed garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard for a classic salad dressing that tastes great on greens. Or whisk together olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon zest for a dipping sauce that doubles as a marinade. Want a creamier dip? Blend in an avocado too. That'll soften the hit of the olive oil. Three, bake with it. Now there aren't a lot of baked goods that call for olive oil, but you can find a neutral flavored olive oil and it's great for baking as well as for eating. Simply swap out the oil or butter for any plant paradox friendly baking recipe for olive oil one for one. It's great in things like muffins, breads, even cookies, even cheesecake with olive oil. Now, if you're having trouble finding an olive oil that works well in baked goods, consider tastings a few different oils. You'll find that each oil has its own unique flavor and a milder, buttery oil will work beautiful in baked goods. And one other thing, if you're really overwhelmed trying to get enough olive oil in your diet, try supplementing with olive leaf extract, like Dundry MD Mediterranean Olive Leaf Extract. You'll enjoy some of the same health benefits the easy way. Just make sure you're getting plenty of olive oil every day. Start by adding a tablespoon or so per meal and work up from there.
