Who can afford all these tests? I have, I think fairly good insurance but don't know how far they go with these seemingly specialized tests.
My issue after 3-plus years of keto and 5-plus years (including keto) of very-low-carb, is that I seem to be perpetually in a high state of gluconeogenesis. I _have to_ eat nearly zero carb (I'm high protein, because I'm trying to preserve muscle mass at 60) to keep my blood sugar under 110 or 120, even moderately fasted. If I add even a small amount of "healthy carbs" I seem to fill up my glycogen reserves and run between 120 and 130 at odd times (several hours after eating.)
I'm wondering if reading the Atkins book for clues on adding back healthy carbs will help. After Jason Fung actually endorsed it, I'm thinking about Lumen, but there are many detractors, and I don't particularly like being told what to eat spur of the moment. I've been trying to eat a lot of low-carb salads lately (with a generous wild salmon portion), and it's not working for me.
I lost a lot of weight with -low carb- keto and fasting, but I think too much of it was muscle (possibly because I wasn't doing resistance training), which is why I went high-protein. I gained back about 20% of what I lost, much of it skeletal muscle, and I'm much healthier aside from blood sugar. I seem to be leaning out (and losing fat again, but mostly because I do whole-day and two- or three-day fasts most weekends.)
I'm a bit baffled at this point.

Hej Sten, tack för en fantastisk kanal. Kan du tänka dig att göra videos om hur man höjer sitt goda kolesterol? Gärna också en video om fördelarna med solljusexponering, så som du ser det. Hälsningar Linda

You saved my life. ive lost 100lbs and no longer have diabetes.
Thank you So much.
Wow, great to hear that, love good news.
That's great!
Congratulations 👏👏👏I am trying my best to loose weight intermittent fasting 18/6 OMAD but blood sugar still high and I an not losing weight it does not matter what I eat insulin goes up! Now my doctor diagnosed me with diabetes but I have no symptoms whatsoever of of diabetes. I an not losing the weight. I am really confused and scared. I also have no gallbladder so I p😅⁹
@@NansGlobalKitchen i ate 1 meal every 2 days for 6 months and thats what did it
@NansGlobalKitcheni had a similar experience. I usually fast for 21 hours plus before my meal. When I decided to fast for a longer period it seemed to kickstart weight loss. Also I always walk after my one meal for the day. I usually do 3 miles in the morning and 2 miles after dinner. This is working well for me. I'm 68 and coping easily with this.
Every time I hear "Hello health champions!" I already feel better! 🌞
😎👍
@@lpg12338Exactly love to hear it to hear those words as well ❤🙏🏻
I gave up going to the doctor 20 years ago, I just do youtube research on whatever problem I have, and it's worked great!
Yup. Try to avoid going as much as poss too and ours is free (NHS) 😂
@@jackiedelvalleit's not 'free' it's paid for by taxes which aren't optional, in return for a terrible service.
@@sharfalor4244
Same in Australia
Me too 😂
One thing that didn't get mentioned that is destroying health in America is the problem of ultra-processed seed oils. Soy, canola, palm, etc etc - are basically oxidized industrial waste that might actually be worse than sugar in our diet.
It’s way worse than sugar.. so is high fructose corn syrup!
I decided to make use of those oils for their intended purpose the other day: I applied it to some squeaky door hinges!
Didn't realize it at the time, but when I was eating it, it was a major contributor to my heartburn.
He has a video out on seed oils.
@@JH-nj8up thanks! To qualify it, I should've said "In this video..." Dr Ekberg does such fantastic work with his teaching and guidance. I will be sure to go back and review that video.
He only has 89 videos on seed oils. We probably don't need the 90th one...
I eliminated sugar and in 7 days i felt so much better i wanted to cry...I'm not fat i was getting bloated all the time. I feel so much better now.
7 days sound right, to get the body into that state where after that, one can continue with low carb/stabilized carb feeling really good about it. A decade ago, I found this and sometimes (due to unavoidable parties,etc), the blood sugar go crazy again and what I do to destabilise everything, is just to go for a long, slow exercise (mine was swimming, and I'd do about 5 hours of that).
@@bernardsoh3559 Exactly, i walk for a total of 2.5 hours a day and mild bike 30-40 minutes a day. After each meal i always do 10 min of some kind of exercise.
Same! It’s so unbelievable. I made 7 days and I’ve been fasting
I think Dr. Ekberg’s information helps so many people because he patiently explains how things work and how they don’t work. This channel is a gem.
Мне не нравится его трепотня о том как здорово жить на низком уровне энергии.
Лучше бы он сказал коротко : чем питаться он советует и сколько раз в день или в неделю.
Absolutely!
Thank you, I've lost over 80 LBS in 5 months from 270 to 192 now, also went from A1C of 10.6 to 5.2 all in 5 months, You and Dr Ken Berry's channel saved my life.. Thank you again!
👍🏼
where you on insulin or any diabetic medicine? my a1c just got diagnosed at 9.4 and wondering if I should take diabetic medicine or not
@@LetDavisCook, please don't take medicine,start intermittent fasting
Stop eatimg carbs@@LetDavisCook
@@LetDavisCook,please go for keto diet and intermittent fasting ,don't take medicines,in three to six months you will be alright.i have been struggling with diabetes for long 25 years with42 unit insulin plus tablets.

Thank you for changing my life!! I’m healthier and 51 kilos less!! You are a Great inspiration!! Dimitris from Greece!!
To have lost this much, I assume you were severely overweight but still, losing this much is impressive, bravo!
🙌👏👏👏👏👏🍀🌈🍀
Congrats! Wishing you continued success. ❤
@@disc06ppp
51 kilos,,,, that's epic....
With the Docs help, I cut about 50lbs. Finding my baseline metabolic rate,, was a real Grail.
Compliments of the Doc, again.
I was in the hospital in January and The Nurses were saying they see the I eat very healthy and I told 2 of them about Dr Ekberg and the other doctor Berg, They are now following both doctors
This is why I can never understand people feeling "hangry" when they are just a few minutes late from their meals. I have been eating once a day for years, so I basically fast for 23 hours each day and never feel "hangry"; even toward the end of the fast. I think being "hangry" could be a sign of overdependence on sugar/carbs.
I did my best to do that around 10 years ago however I was unable to eat enough in one sitting and slowly ended up seriously underweight. Got called into the office and sent home saying don't come back until you have been to the doctors and sorted yourself out. I was only probably eating around 800 calories before being full. But fair play to those who can do 1 meal per day.
You compassion and tolerance for others is nonexistent.
This is one of the most calm, balanced, reasonable, and well thought out videos on this topic I have seen in a very long time.
Think of it like this. If we as humans were not designed to eat a variety of foods from different sources, then we wouldn't have a pancreas! The exocrine pancreas produces enzymes that help to digest food, particularly protein. The endocrine pancreas makes the hormone insulin, which helps to control blood sugar levels. That in of itself tells me that mother nature intended on us to eat and enjoy life! The problem is all our foods these days are processed and contain God knows what kind of harmful chemicals. Not only that, but we tend to overindulge on everything then sit around and watch TV or play on the computer! Great video!
That was a pretty good summary. Thanks.
Thank you for your great videos. As a doctor in the UK (neurosurgeon), I have gone from 73kg prediabetic to 66kg non-diabetic doing low carb as per your advice. I now give your RUclips channel details to any of my patients who are overweight and/or diabetic/prediabetic, also family/friends/work colleagues.
Anyone else say "hello, health champions" before the video starts like me?
no😁
😂 oh yes!
I do!!!
Always 😊
A retired Nurse in UK told me that in UK, A Doctor will get more money if their patient is diagnosed "Pre Diabetic"?
It's probably the same everywhere, where healthcare is controlled by Big Pharma.
I definitely believe it.
I worked in a hospital..
Say you are already a dialysis pt. about broke your hip and was hospitalized,
If a Dr. Sees his patient in the hospital while they are receiving dialysis, the Dr. Receives more$$
Sadly , I believe that. They want you sick....
Yes it does doctors get kick back for prescribing drugs and in some countrys just plane bribes (money)
Doctors in uk do not get paid for a “ diagnosis” A patient on dialysis does not mean the doctor earns more money . USA yes but not uk
Oh I forgot was 400 lbs and thanks to You I am now 250 from low carb and 18/6 fasting
@@donrundy3767
Watch it going over 12 hours fasting everyday can cause gallstones.
@@MrGeorgewffalse.
@@MrGeorgewf I think if it does not cause gallstones in a first few monts the your body gets useto fasting I don't think there shoul be a problem. I fasd 8-10 hours a day I have to take some medicine with food in the morning and same thing in the evening so thats why I am doing this way.
@@MrGeorgewf
Utter nonsense.
Congratulations! Thats a SERIOUS change and I'm so happy for you! Keep going. You're doing a terrific job!
🤩✨⭐️🌟💫
After i was diagnosed with pre diabetes i came to realise that how incredibly hard it is to find low carbonhydrate food in a normal grocery store where i live, no wonder we hawe this "epidemic" of this type of medical issues among people here... It was not so in the 70-80s here.
If you buy natural food you don't have this problem. Eat fresh!
@@chloeuntrau4588 I fully agree on that, but i just can't find it where i live, and there are not many local farmers still around and those who are still around here can't realy process food on their own farm for sale anymore. It was still in the 80s, i am not going into politics here, but but since the early 90s practicaly all small farms who could did dissapear in my country unfortunately. Now it is just monoculters of grain growing anywhere, but i can't eat that much grain anymore because of medical reasons.
Great advice I learned a long time ago: When shopping at a grocery store, stick to the outer walls only.
@@sheep1ewejust look in the fresh produce aisle. Every grocery has it.!
Eat meat and eggs
I always questioned the "eat something to get your blood sugar up". First thing that comes to mind are the Snickers commercials. How anyone would think those are healthy or even helpful for giving someone energy is beyond me.
Yeah, it’s called “marketing”. 😂
Mars Bar a day helps you work, rest & play - thanks for the memory 😅

This is the most complete summary of how to live healthy, explaining metabolic syndrome perfectly. It addresses lies about how good carbohydrates are and how bad fats are, when in reality it is the opposite of what we have been told. And at the end he talks about the intestinal flora and its role in a healthy life. Thank you Dr. for such an invaluable video. I really congratulate you. Greeting from Caracas/ Venezuela 🇻🇪
this is exactly what I needed, I often fasted for 72h over the weekend but I've fooled myself recently into thinking that I NEED food... I really dont!
news FLASH u do need food
@@Nothingbutskill1 delusional, show me what u eat? U fat?
@@Nothingbutskill1 but you don't need food to eat everyday or too often. That's the point!
Notice the people telling you what you need. Follow your gut 👍🏻
What about needing protein to build muscle? Have to eat for that?
The "eat six times a day" advice is what made me diabetic.
Was your blood sugar must of been continuously to high
Sugar made you diabetic
@@DAOnero Must have. My A1c jumped to over 7, having been under that the previous quarter. My doctor at the time had me purchase a glucose meter and keep a spreadsheet of readings from multiple times per day. I don't remember what the readings were, but I think they were all over 130.
Of course, my insulin must have skyrocketed from the continuous eating too, but that doctor (who I actually fired later because he was not fasting friendly) never measured it. I now go to a doctor more attuned to metabolic issues.
That started in the 1980s
It started hyper obesity as well
We used to have 3 meals, and few snacks
In France we have an old saying: Eat like a king in the morning, like a prince at noon, and like a pauper in the evening. I've found that old ways are always wise, ancestors always known for example the good influence of apple cider vinegar (lower the glycemic spike by 20,30%) without modern science.
Your content and Jason Fung helped me lose 160 lbs and maintain a healthy BMI. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Two of the very best! Anyone who hasn't read Dr Fung's books really needs to! The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code are two of the best books on the subject, IMO. Even if you do t think you have Diabetes or don't think you're Obese, read both. The information still applies.
This is a great explanation of optimal blood sugar levels and the commonly skewed version of 'what is normal'
I was just telling a guy at work about ketones and carnavore and your channel then today boom! This video pops up.
They're listening my friend.😅
No coincidence, your phone listens to you all the time. Happens to me too.
That’s because Sten has your back!
I'm so glad you discussed TOLERANCE. I know I cannot tolerate ANY carbs. My 622 days on carnivore then eating a leafy green as an experiment proved that to me very quickly. it's not worth adding them back. I feel super healthy just eating my meat.
Vegitarians will argue about that but most will go back at eating meat sooner or later. There is some who don't very small % bit those are the ones who will argue LOL
Nice
Do you have IBS and sugar dump syndrome as well , like me?
@@pacbdnabcde9203I once dated a vegetarian who went back to meat
The truth, the truth but nothing but the truth from Dr Ekberg as usual.
Help! I need to find a low-carb friendly doctor. The directories I've found are too new to be useful. My doctor told me "We're not about to change the way we practice medicine. Adopt a low fat diet and take your statin." So, I'm done with him. Thanks, Scott

I am not over weight yet few years ago i was pre-diabetic. I since cut down on sugars and exercise much more. Now my blood sugar is within the normal range.
You don’t have to be overweight to become prediabetic. It’s the amount of fat around your organs and cells that causes insulin resistance
Dr Sten is such a fine doctor and teacher. Thank you Dr many times over!
Doctor E.S. you are a great Communicator, I understand without needing a collage degree.
Ya know you're right. The better a person knows a subject , he can explain even to entry level people. Dr Ekberg knows so well what he is talking about, and also has the heart of a teacher. Very fortunate for us.
@@usd25674agree. He gives quality information. Those who harp on medical credentials aren't good listeners. Lots of charlatans have credentials.
Such a shame and a sham that the endurance sports nutrition industry has perpetuated the carb myth for so long and so successfully.

Again, I learn from from my best and favourite teacher. Thank you for explaining so well.

from 74kg last september 2023 down to 56kg now with bmi of 21.1. Thank you for your videos sir.
Thank you again friend! I love all the things you are saying !!! Be healthy !!!
Good morning Dr. Ekberg! Thanks for such a great video! Thank you for always justifying my keto/low carb lifestyle! It can be demoralizing to go to the grocery store, and see all the products I can't touch. That and all the restaurant food that is simply not good for you! You are my teacher, and a great motivator on the why! Hope you have a great Friday, and a great weekend!
Thank you for telling us what is normal and not just what is too high!!
First, thanks very much for all of these 'live saving videos'!

The week isn't complete without a Friday video from Sten
Thank you for sharing another fantastic video Dr. Ekberg God blessed 🙏
I did get into high carb eating addiction a few times, and it is hard for me to then break out of it again. But i found out recently, that it might be also an coping mechanism for me for an anxiety disorder. But in then the bad foods makes the anxiety way worse which makes the craving for more bad foods way stronger, so it is easy to get trapped into that cycle. It also does not help it takes an while including strong withdrawal symptoms to break out again, and go back to healthy foods
Try the carnivore diet.
I understand the struggle. Initially getting away from the addiction is so very difficult. I need help with this also.

I don't remember the source, but I read somewhere that your blood sugar drops by ~20-30% if you do some light exercise right after a meal.
I think they recommended a 10 minute walk around the neighbourhood.
Glucose Goddess?
Great point.
I sure do wish I could get my wife to watch your video. She really needs to hear this from somebody else besides me. She swears she hast to eat all that junk to keep up her energy.
My wife is the same way. Always has excuses to eat candy and potato chips. She's grown I can only do so much.
You are my Champion doctor ! Always enjoy your videos!
I have been type 2 for nearly 2 years, doc started me on Metformin 500mg morning and 750mg night, fairly quickly I started seeing lows of 45 -55 in the morning so I quit the 750mg and just took the 500, now during this whole time I started eating a lot of eggs, 3 eggs scrambled with a couple tablespoons of EV Coconut oil mixed in, a rasher of English back bacon and two slices of multigrain toast with real butter on. I cut out pretty much all sources of sugar and I'm a huge chocoholic. I don't drink alcohol or smoke. Now 18 months later I haven't taken my Metformin for 2 months, my Blood sugar reading is between 75 and 95 every morning, after eating spikes are rarely over 150 and tonight after a kebab and fries at 6pm (it's 9pm now) and a few biscuits and a chocolate bar (Cadbury Picnic) I just tested my blood sugar and it is at 115. Tonights food is just a Friday night cheat treat night, as my wife and I have also been 16:8 fasting for 3 weeks. Weight loss for me is slow but I have been desperately overweight by at least 40 kilos so there is a lot to shift. Feel like I have got type 2 beaten but still determined to keep up the dietary changes
Good job recognizing a change in eating choices was needed. Gotta say bread is the hardest for me to walk away from. All bread spikes insulin, even multigrain.
@@mettamorph4523 I cut from a regular 6 slices of bread to only 2 daily. Some days I managed to avoid it altogether. Bread is such a simple go to food too. One big change is the amount of money we are spending on food now, easily a third of what we were buying.
I'm 67 and Type 2. Whenever my blood glucose reading is below 70 in the mornings, I drink a Ensure that has 9 or more mg of protein in it. For me, this is way better than eating something sugary. Ensure is portable and I take one with me everywhere I go. I also keep some beside my bed. My blood sugars are usually 70- 100 in the mornings before a meal and late in the afternoon before my evening meal, it runs anywhere from 150 to 220. My A1C runs between 6 and 7.3. When I was initially diagnosed as a diabetic my blood sugar was almost 900. I thought that my symptoms were due to me having high blood pressure and being anemic and working a demanding job. If I did everything that my Endocrinologist told me to do, I'd be dead by now. I go by how I feel, my glucose numbers and my blood pressure numbers.
Ensure is full of horrible ingredients!! Doctors suggest those and boost which is sad.. I'm gonna tell u like I tell my mommy bc y'all are the same age, 😅 look at those ingredients if you can't pronounce EVERY word in your food or drink don't eat it. Protein shakes> check out OWYN shakes. ALL the ingredients are clean, no hidden sugars or artificial sugars. Our bodys can't break that fake sugar down. You got this.. The shake I suggested doesn't taste as good as those thats bad for u because it's good for you... I loved Quest and Premier shakes prior to switching so I know the taste takes some getting used to, but fight through to get in your protein if doing a shake.. Also the ingredients to avoid in your shakes are corn maltodextrin, sugar, canola oil, cellulose gel, carrageenan, and soy protein...
I have some unknown congenital neuropathy, can do about 30-40 hours fasting before body goes weak, tremmors, nausea, dry heaves, vomittimg, fever, bad headaches, etc. So I stick to OMAD, and maybe every 2-4 weeks, try to push a bit longer, then eat extra if necessary. Most veggies aren't well tolerated. But I do ok with broccoli or lightly blanched or lightly steamed kale or spinach, rather than raw. I don't do well with too many hard nuts, they blowright through me. A modest amount of carbs via a bit of rice, pasta, or bread seems to make my body happy. ½-¾ cup of rice, 2-4 slices of bread, 6-8oz pasta. Mostly avoid sugary foods, fruits, veggies, but drink OJ one gallon jug a month or so as needed, especially if heavy sweatting leads to nausea, as electrolyres get restored. A banana now and then, 2-4 a month or less. Could use testing to see how bad things are. Not great but not horrible either. Fair bit of room for improvement. Could do with weight loss, gut health, inflammation, pain, and cognitive decline management, as well as do absolutely everything to protect my dwindling muscle and neuron health.
You made me curious and I have checked my glucose level one hour after dinner: it's 91.
I'm diabetic type 2, I'm on a real low carb diet, walk a lot and lift some weight three times a week, I'm controlling easily due to this combination.
I thank you for the suggestions I've got from your videos.
I did full carnivore for two weeks and had two bowel movements that made me think I might have an impaction and need to go to the hospital! I didn’t, but it was close! A salad every few days isn’t a bad idea for me!
One word... Prebiotics! Good prebiotics feed your gut biome which Dr. Ekberg said is important in this video and you won't need to pop the probiotic pills. Good prebiotics can make good regular bowel movements. Onions are my secret weapon.
@@spierskalla Thanks! Yes, I usually chop up some onion and mix it with my hamburger or add it to the pan when frying steak , but I skipped it for awhile. I'll gladly add some onion back in!
If you’re doing strict carnivore, there is no fiber and very little waste produced, so you shouldn’t have a bowel movement every day.
Thank You again to the *whole Team* of this RUclips Channel. You really make nutrition more understandable / digestable😅

Most of that weight is then water weight, but that also helps in general health.

NO carbs, intermittent fasting and daily exercise.
This is the best information given in a precise and concise manner! Thank you Dr Eckberg 🌹
Doc I gave up eating plants. I went full carnivore and never going back. I lost nearly 20 pounds without exercising. Just walking, stretching, beef, salt and water.
My morning fasting glucose is 138. When I eat something, my blood sugar drops to 106. If I just drink water, it drops to 118 - 126.
Wow. This is one of your best videos. Great job!!
Thank you for helping me feeling healthier . You inspired me so much
For me, IMHO of course, this has got to be one of, if not the best video you've done. You wrap up all these complex subjects into a nice neat presentation I can take each portion of it and do a little deeper research into it without getting too far into the weeds.
It's great how you present and give a little visual wrap up for everything. I haven't found anyone who has done this as well as you because you don't "assume" everyone who watches you has a biochemistry background.
Very well done..... :)
Interesting & insightful Sten! In just putting these presentations together & delivering them must be a very heuristic experience for you.
Fantastic explanation. You can’t get this kind of honest info anywhere. Thank you doctor Berg.

I used to eat plant based, cooking oil, fruits, carrots and green juicing were healthy until my A1c went up and up and my vision went blurry. Now, one year later on ketovore my eyes needed new lower prescription by 2 points. Amazing 😎
I have lost 35lbs and kept it off for over a year because of your videos. Thank you.
If you want to know what an animal including humans need to eat, look at the teeth. We have teeth designed for eating meat, and we have teeth designed for eating plants. We do not have teeth designed to cope with a lot of processed slop and sugar.
My glucose had been around 120 for 15 years. Now it has dropped to around 100. I have lost weight and I have been eating fish and nuts like almonds and walnuts. Could that be the reason it has dropped? This has happened over a year. It may drop even more.
Modern consistent blood sugar spikes were not possible just over 100 years ago even with regular ancient grain consumption.
They didn't have glucometers 100 yrs ago, so how would we know?
@@Carnivore1959 maybe by symptoms and overall health
@@Carnivore1959 It's an approximation of what was available. I'm not saying drastic glucose spikes did not exist but there wasn't the frequency that is readily happening to most of the population of modern times. It's chronic inflammation at rapid succession.
@@Carnivore1959yes no way to check it really. I was told a doctor way back would smell the persons urine to tell if they were diabetic or not
@@Carnivore1959 You can get relatively high blood glucose from eating too much protein, but over 100 years ago people were not eating huge amounts of protein or carbs, nor were they typically eating 3+ times a day. They also tended to physically work harder. It is reasonable to assume most people did not have high blood glucose and there is certainly not evidence of significant metabolic disease. Except maybe for Egyptians (specifically Pharaohs), Peruvians, and Romans which coincidentally were higher grain diets.
Swietnie, w zrozumiały sposób wyjaśniony cały proces
After 16 hours of no food, my glucose would be about 85, then going to the gym at now 18 hours no food, cardio and lifting weights, my glucose will then measure at about 105.
Can't help but wonder how often those low energy feelings people have are actually caused by low electrolytes, and not so-called "low blood sugar" at all. Then, they go to sugars instead of taking salt and/or other necessary minerals, and then sadly begin the vicious blood sugar cycle in error.
Very interesting 👌 👍 🤔 and very informative 👌 👍 🤔
Thank you doctor. Sending a lot of love. May you be healthy and happy
This video is incredibly helpful!!
I ate carnivore for nearly a year as an elimination diet, but I am now left with issues when trying to add healrhy foods back in. I am having massive spikes and dips and I assume it is due to such low insulin (my fasting insulin is 2.7). I've heard it doesn't take long for the body to adjust but it is not yet working for me and it has been months of trying. My sleep is destroyed and glucose regulation is dysfunctional, plus I have excessive hunger issues even though I eat enough. Any advice or has anyone experienced this?
I hope someone can help you find a solution. I've heard about the massive spikes and dips on carnivore.
Same here 😢 I am so confused at this
point
some people can’t eat anything but meat due to the sensitivity and illnesses that you are trying to combat. Maybe your system was already sticking and dipping pryer to carnivore, is that a possibility.
@@clairehachey2189It was when trying to add foods back in that the problems arose, or was it their before carnivore.
@@nataliegist2014 what "foods" - junkfood?
Add healthy vegetables instead and you will be fine.
I think that you are forgetting one key aspect to measure, Sten, and that is how you feel from the time you get up to the time you go to bed. If you wake up fired up and ready to go and you have sustained energy all day and then you sleep well in a normal pattern then there is no reason to suspect that there is anything wrong with your body function. After 12.5 years of eating a nutrient dense diet I can tell when something is out of balance and correct it quickly without tests or medical intervention. Thanks for an informative and thought provoking video, I hope that people are starting to get your message.
I appreciate your understanding and explanation of blood sugars. I want to add something else. Over the past two years, I have experienced eight surgeries, and the foot is still not fixed. Originally I had two surgeries to correct the foot, but the wound became infected and the next five surgeries were used to try to arrest the infection. I experienced three stays in the hospital and an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. Finally, they removed all the hardware, because the infection had settled in the Teflon adhesions and anchors for the screws. I am still waiting for the next surgery, having been put in a cast to reduce the swelling in the joints. I say all of this to point out that any pain or wound in the body, causes stress, which raises blood sugar. I began the year going on a carnivore diet, no carbs .My most recent A1C was 5.6. My sugar still raises due to the pain I endure. It causes frustration, because if my sugar is high, the doctor won't operate. But in order to lower the sugar, I take oral medicine, which raises the insulin and causes weight gain. It's a vicious cycle, but I want others to know, it's not just what you eat, though that is a great part of it. There are other issues including illness, or an injury, or even some medications that can also raise your blood sugar.
Dr.Ekberg Thank you for helping so many people around the world, I be waiting for Friday morning video My only thing I can say that I wish you could make a new video each day or a chat room for your fans. God bless you
Eat high fat diet to stabilize blood. I've been doing this, butter, olive oil, dead animal. Lost 100 pounds and total cholesterol went down all numbers together are 108..... my A1C is currently at 5.2 would like to go into the 4s....
How does this apply to a T1 dx later in life at age 70 identified as an auto immune issue and now take insulin injections 3 units fast acting before meals and 10 units it’s at bedtime?
The science is still relevant.
All YT doctors ignore T1 or LADA, or even worse, pre-LADA situations, when you don't qualify for insulin injections yet, luckily, and don't know how to help yourself with elevated blood glucose. T1 and LADA patients aren't guilty of their conditions, unlike T2 who bring it upon themselves by their life style and choices, yet all the help in the medical world goes to them, with T1 and LADA/pre-LADA patients left with nothing. Sad reality.
I know people love their vegetables but does anyone believe, historically, that if meat was readily available, that we ate plant based foods by choice. The toxins and nutrient blockers in plants along with their inflammatory properties made it easy for me to give them up. I have significantly less joint pain and I don't miss fruits and vegetables at all.
For me you arer number 1 Doctor in whole world. Thank You for everythin what You doing for us.
I have been watching you for a while but even though I just watched this video I also downloaded it because I’m gonna play it for my friends up north I feel like I should listen to this video two or three or four times and memorize as much as I can because this is some of the most important medical information I’ve ever learned from RUclips in my life I know some of it, but I trustyou to be my health wellness expert guru I have so much I can learn from you
Love your videos doc. Thanks
Either not all calories behave the same or we're given an inaccurate calorie count for some foods. I notice weight gain from the same number of calories from cereal and crackers vs. eggs and bananas. Processed ingredients are a problem.
Calories are definitely not equal. While over eating anything will make a person fat, but just as you experienced, the processes stuff is way more "effective" at ballooning someone up, not to mention giving you other health issues.
I’ve heard that some foods require much more energy to digest. I think they mentioned that when eating almonds, 30% of the calories are used just to digest them. If you’re eating food that is ground and processed, a lot of the work has already been done. I also suspect that when we eat certain foods, some of the food isn’t fully broken down and absorbed and exits the body without contributing any calories.
@amieraz correct. I've trialled this lol. Give me dried fruits and nuts, my weakness, lots of them, highhh sugar and carb low fat, not only do I feel the spike and crash in energy but a few days and the scales are up alot... I can consume alotttt of nuts, 95% choc, clean Crackle, post a meal - very high cal and fat, and the scales still go up, given the amount I can consume to see the same rise on the scales is pretty fascinating.
Great video!! Really great information as everyone thinks the blood sugar rush is normal! 🎉❤
Thank you Dr Ekberg. I found the "Measure to knock" section extremely relevant 👍🙏🌟
Thank you for teaching me/us those basics in an understandable language.
Oxalates. A good thing to study when it comes to many people eating plants.
Thank you for all you do!
I'm looking forward to your future video on the fiber lie.
Absolutely wonderful analysis! Many thanks, Dr. Ekberg! Your detailed (well-prepared) explanations never cease to amaze!
Timing of taking your blood sugar can affect your numbers, also. Right after waking up is not the optimal time to take it (baseline). Also, there are some that are on keto/carnivore that can have naturally higher A1C levels due to the red blood cells living longer. (Per Dr. Berry).
Hello, I am new to your channel and have just looked through your playlists. I've got myself in a bad way (100lbs overweight, Type 2 Diabetes, BPH, HBP, and MDD to name a few). Have you looked into creating a "generic weight loss plan" playlist broken down into weekly programs, i.e. starter, week 1, week 2, etc..., that spell out a meal plan and accompanying exercise plan? It would be nice to include references who are looking to break a caffeine/soda and/or sugar addiction or for those who would like to switch to a more plant-based diet, but still have access to meat substitutes. While also including the specific videos of what you are attempting to accomplish that week as you follow the plan. i.e. starter week, it is about lessening the dependency on sodas/caffeine and eating the right food that will stabilize your blood sugar, decrease insulin resistance and lower your a1c. I'm betting the majority of your videos already have this information, it's just as a new viewer (admittedly looking for an easy way to curate the information to start the process), it's a lot of information to poor through. Just a thought. thanks.
Remember, you lose weight at the dinner table and gain muscle at the gym.
I was 752 lb. Before you saved my live , You God of men ! I now weigh 103 lb. Pure solid Bone! 🦴
