“😊 I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING INFORMATION ON Einkorn Flour (supposedly an ancient wheat grain with extremely lower gluten in it; & a different type of gluten than regular wheat. Is this SAFE FOR ME AS A CELIAC & ALSO FOR KETO?”
Love all your videos you are a great instructor i wish I had you for health class in school! I was wondering if you could make a video addressing gall bladder removal and a high fat low carb diet. I had mine removed and have trouble digesting fats. Thank you again!
Dr.Ekberg.. could you please help me out how can i gain weight with insulin resistance and high triglycerides. I am just 103lbs and 26 years old women. I really want to gain weight but cant because of my condition. if you can give me some helpful tips that would be great. I want to do keto But i am from a indian culture we eat a-lot or rice please help me out thank you.
Great video - simple to follow and understand and powerful as a consequence. Out of interest, the 'total calories' column in your tables is for what weight of the food? Or is it a serving size measure? I haven't been able to work it out. Sorry if I missed this in the video!

Low carb / low lactose dairy is: cream, sour cream. High carb lactose dairy is: skim milk, low fat dairy. 5) leafy greens. - lettuce - fibrous filler food sources.

Nice job. A fourth 'nut' Dr. Sten is a fan of is coconut meat. Trader Joe's here in US sells bags of unsweetened coconut 'chips' / flakes for $1.99, much more convenient than butchering a whole coconut!
I will never give up my berries, so many great benefits, Antioxidants. Have a blueberrie, raspberry, kale and flaxseed smoothie every morning. The rest of the day is low carb. Never felt better.
Thank You @xenofontzaras2741 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I have changed my life, I have lost weight because you teached me the fasting. I lost lot of fat. Thank you very much 😘. If you see many likes its me 😁
I have been on intermittent fasting for about ten weeks. Amazingly I have lost 23 pounds, my hdl/ldl and A1C are at historic low levels. I have bought a new wardrobe and with delight donated shirts, pants, jackets and more. I listen to Dr Stan every night, over and over again as he keeps me reinforced. I have my first meal of the day at noon and don't eat anything after 8pm. Eight hour window for food, sixteen hour window for the body to do its work. I may have lost all that my body will allow but will enjoy the health benifits for the rest of my life. We were on a cruise a few weeks ago and I didn't eat bread, pasta, rice or deserts. It was easy.
Thank You JULIO JOSÉ GALLEGO DÍAZ so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
@@pelon1977dl Basically Only had 30 grams of Carbs a day and cut out all sugar completely. Every morning had Turkey bacon with eggs and Unsweet Almond milk. Lots of veggies and all types of meat and cheeses for meals. If I had a sweet craving I would have zero sugar popsicles. There’s so many low carb options today I never felt hungry I can eat anytime.
..buy rotisserie chicken from whole foods there antibioitcs and hormones free..buy for 3 or 4 day .3 times a day or 4 if you can do your match.rotisserie chicken saves you time and nobody knows but me im the only one that know this..when you get tired of chicken put it in a blender. and put one bottle and another half bottle of water and drink it cold. If you drink it hot you will vomot for the rich flavor but i suggest you to love it the flavor everytime you eat it.and that it bro. drink coffee. buy your coffee maker.and buy sturbucks package of good coffee with no sugar added some of them have hazel and sugar so see the ingredients befoere you buy. the starbucks bag its for 4 or 5 coffee makes times. So make sure you do the coffe concen tr rated. Fill and empty bottle of water all the way drink it in the morning or everyning 10 minutes before every meal so you can get the high .cofee its an appetite supprressant so it will help . And well thats it .good luck. This all shyt is nonsense they talk and talk for nothing and dont eat vegetables. Once you reach your goal. eat normal amd exercice 4 times a week .to.mainain your weight. and keep fat away. And thats it good luck
Same for my partner. 'Accidentally ' leaving a playlist of Dr Ekbert and Dr Fung's videos streaming on the tv when he came home one evening has completely turned his health, and weight, around! He does miss his Crunchy Nut Cornflakes though...!
Yup. In order to avoid the heart disease and the quad bypass my father got at 63, I went 'low fat' and used to plow through bran flakes and skim milk and skipped all the steak and eggs and bacon for many years, and it got me coronary artery disease and a heart attack in my mid-50s. They fooled me big time. I should have gone HIGH fat, low carb. I had no idea.
I learn so much from this man! He is so calm and teaches so clearly. The best part is that he isn't trying to SELL me anything like others. I've learned more from him than I did in my college nutrition course!
Yup, when I hear a sales pitch at the end I feel like I'm being hustled!!😳lol. There's only a small handful of RUclips Docs who DON'T do that. This awesome Doc is one of them!💜
I agree, it seems like he likes balanced diets not selling high carb or high fat diets, but giving advice on balanced diets even though he kind of supports healthy high fat diets to some degree. High sugar and processed fat diets seems to be the enemy number one to health and I couldn´t agree more. As a type one diabetic (who works out 5 times a week and have an active lifestyle outside of that) medium carb, and medium fat has been the best option for me, which doesn´t mean medium fructose, medium processed margarine :)
2 meals a day was giving dad in his 90s half a cup of berries with cream! He loved it and his sugar level was good. wheat or rice or potatoes only once on Sundays
It's weird to read labels, ingredients, organic, GMO, sugar, fake sugar, etc for years, but never paying any attention to the carb count or fat percentages at all until now.
LOVE your channel! I’ve been watching for some time and am a fan. I’m a very long-term ketoer - 11 years with a couple of low carb (under 50) per day and a sad break during the pandemic. When I started, and for many years afterward, there was little info and nothing like the proliferation of YT channels and FB groups. I had spent so long figuring it out and refining my diet through research. It was wearying, when the internet ramped up, to see the amount of misinformation being spread and the complete slavery to “the lists” with absolutely no knowledge to back their viewpoints up. I appreciate your factual, common sense and science-based approach.
My personal goal with keto is to manage my ood sugar levels. I'm type 2 diabetic and aim for ultra low carb intake each day. So far so good, I'm off my meds and bloods are under control.
I can attest to the keto diet as a type 1 diabetic. When I first went on it I lost 45 pounds and I have been able to keep my A1C near 7.2-7.5 over the last 5yrs down from 13! For the first time all the highs and lows are way more under control. I have found that when I get low sometimes still, if I eat some carbs like (depending on how low I am) some grapes and some cheese (protein) then it's not just a straight up high and it levels it out...I have learned a lot from learning about food and health, we have GOT to take responsiblity for our own health and stop being lazy fat butts about it! (I include myself in this!) I still struggle with my food addiction but my diabetes is under control for the first time in my 46yrs!
Thank you @lauraslanestravels for confirming just how important it is also for Type 1 diabetics. So many T1D's are told to eat what they want and just take more insulin as needed. Congratulations on your great results. 😄
Going low carb helped me bring my blood sugar A1c from a high of 9.3 to 7.2 in 9 months. Bonus: my chronic nail fungus cleared up during that time (I had struggled with it for ten years and nothing worked). My nails have continued to improve, I've lost weight, fat and my skin has improved as well (no more hormonal breakouts). I'm 63.
I'm 58 and in good health but staring down the barrel of the last third of my life. We all need to adjust as we age and to do that we just need the plain facts. Thank you for presenting them here.
Dr. Sten , I learn so much from your every video. I know you spend much time and energy to present this information. I am 66, and in the best health of my life by following the knowledge that I have gained from you. Thanks so much.
I've been on a carnivore diet for about 3 weeks now. I've lost 15 lbs. and I feel calmer, I don't have cravings and I am not hungry. This is the perfect diet for me. My weight loss has slowed down a bit but that's okay. I plan to continue until I get a bit closer to my goal and then I'll start adding back some foods. All of the ones you've highlighted are on my list. But the really great news is that I'm not feeling I MUST have them. That's completely new.
@@greenleavesofsummer9673 You are wrong. Michelle Obama tried to teach kids how to eat better and right wingers called her a Communist......you are not informed enough
I never knew i could speed up the sound. Well I (not tech saavy) tapped my screen at the video which brought up settings icon. Change the speed there. Awesome!
When you say protein turns to glucose, "relatively quickly" what is that relative to? Not the SAD? Or do you mean fat? Maybe I'm missing the point. Thanks for the inspiration and hard work it takes to make these videos.
The PowerPoint format vs.the white board: So much more effective and clear. Well done! Such excellent information and presentation that it's a shame if students are unable to read the data.
I’ve done Keto on and off for 2 years with amazing results and not just weight loss! I limit myself to 20 carbs a day however I only have around 10-15 max. It’s a hard diet to start but once you have it sussed it’s easy. I recommend it to anyone. Thanks for your info 👍🏼
Yes! I testify to this, I have the same results. Two things I found have a beneficial effect to reduce blood sugar and keep it lower are daily exercise, and a good sleep pattern.
@@dalcow1101 I eat fairly normally on Keto just by tweaking normal meals. I usually have plain Greek yoghurt, keto friendly cereal and coffee with cream for brekkie. I have a low carb chicken wrap for lunch and for dinner things like, steak egg & salad, lamb chops broccoli and cheese sauce, lamb and beef mince lettuce cups or I make my own Pattie’s for “low carb burger” with lettuce instead of the bun, chicken stir fry’s, “Chaffles (look them up so delicious!) homemade pizza using a low carb pizza base, wrap or Chaffle for pizza base, and heaps of other “low carb meals” I’ve found. I also have a keto friendly dessert every night! If you don’t know much about Keto I would suggest researching it and knowing and understanding what “ketosis” is and how to achieve it. Then once you understand about carbs, protein & fats and how they work for Keto diet just search keto recipes there’s heaps of RUclipsrs that have amazing keto channels and recipes. It sounds overwhelming at first but now I don’t even need to track my carb intake its become habit. My biggest pieces of advice are understanding what foods contain carbs, planning all your meals a week ahead and drinking lots of water! Good luck 😁
My question is everything you eat turns to carbs. So, how can you eliminate carbs in your diet. I have been on keto for over a year, and haven't lost weight. My A1C ranges around pre diabetes. Even though my blood sugar results have improved the results are very frustrating.
Would apple cider vinegar in water before meals help? I'm trying out acv in water with cranberry concentrate to make it taste better, and sometimes some fresh lemon juice too .
When I did this in 2018 it took a few weeks before I lost 1 pound. I was actually at my goal weight for quite some time. Then we had the plandemic and I learned to make sourdough bread. That was my downfall. Although, I thought sourdough bread was more nutritious and less carbs.I guess I ate too much for too long. I put on 15 pound and can't fit into anything. Now that I'm back on Keto, I've lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks but it's much more difficult for me this time, and it took longer for the me to shed the first pound. This video was very helpful because I cut out all fruits and sweets and the craving for something to finish off after a meal was making me crazy. I'm accustomed to having a clementine or some berries and now I know that I can have some berries. Yippie!!! Thank you for your comment MiHiHemi...Many Blessing...
@@jojomarie7446 life is too short. Why not try to eat one slice and be more active? How are french ppl so skinny when they eat croissants with butter and Nutella and baguette daily? If you are doing all these diets your metabolism will slow down.
@@MissCocoSays Love your user name! I'm not as young as I use to be but I'm VERY Active. Exhausting Active to be honest. I've lived most of my life eating whatever I wanted, never been a junk food eater. Junk food was not as prevalent as it has been in the last 30 years or so. I've always just kept it out of my house. I've always loved vegetables, fruits and salad so no problem there. But I've never liked fat. And now I am liking it. I'm enjoying my bacon and eggs on Sunday, cooked in lard that I make myself. Starting off was a little frustrating, but I can't stand a double chin, and I won't have one. I make sure I reward myself. I just can't let it carry into the whole week. Enjoy your nutella and baguettes. ;) Nice talking with you
Hey Doc. Could you do video about absorption of veggies? I am a carnivore, btw. I am not going back eating veggies and carbs, but what i know vegetables have very small absorption rate. And they come with toxins,oxalates, lectins carcinogens etc. So, I see pointless eating them.
I won’t give up fruit entirely. I eat strawberries and blueberries with high fat yogurt, heavy cream and almond milk, with a tbspn of peanut butter and Stevia for flavoring about every day and have lost 25 lbs. easily doing keto. Dr. Ekberg - you are a gem! You’ve changed my life for the better. ❤️✊
CutZy, I agree. I enjoy some fruit every day. I will throw a half cup of blueberries into my Keto pancakes or will have three to four strawberries with cream. I only eat berries as these are lower in sugar in small quantities. It’s the only carbs that I eat and doesn’t raise my blood glucose.
Hi Dr. Ekberg. I started the carnivore diet last week. So far I've lost 2.7kg. I'll naturally have days where I don't feel hungry before 13:00, and other days I wake up hungry. But so far its working. The reason I'm doing the Carnivore diet is because its a bit easier to maintain in a household where making meals for everyone's needs is impossible. I've also changed my to a better quality water supply. In my personal life I've noticed that I get a severe insulin response when I mix carbs with protein. Especially if its a lot of carbs with a little protein. Was wondering if you'd mind making a meal prep video?
if you are doing low carbs because you have just been diagnosed T2 Diabetic or pre diabetic, watch the LDL cholesterol raise. Avoid thing such as Coconut oil and animal fat and processed foods. cutlets rather than burgers etc.
I love macadamias but I too easily binge into calorie overload. I also put MCT oil on hold as my triglycerides are high despite a low overall sugar intake. Avocados are wonderful because they are a satiating superfood, decreasing the urge to snack between meals. Progress, not perfection.
I just had to let you know that I love listening to you. You have such a comforting way of expressing your knowledge. It's much appreciated over here 😊👍
Great clarification on the Carnivore. So many now go "carnivore" but don't realize the way protein can also elicit a glucose response, depending on how fatty the cut. It is not a black and white, one size fits all. Thanks for your content.❣👍
After years of searching and researching, knowing that my total cholesterol is over 300, my daily diet is; 3-5 pasture raised eggs, oatmeal, flax hemp chia seeds, peanut butter, wild blueberries, kale or broccoli, homemade whole milk Greek yogurt, coconut oil, olive oil, black coffee, unsweetened organic soy milk, almonds for years. Even though I am Asian, I try not to eat rice or ramen. Things I absolutely try not to eat are; cereals, soda, seed oils, flour foods, fried foods, sugar, juices, and all and any kind of processed foods. Dr, Sten is a true DR who is not swayed by the lobbying of the giant food companies.
1. Butter and pure fat 2. Meat (chicken and fish) 3. Eggs 4. Dairy 5. Leafy greens 6. Broccoli cauliflower 7. Nuts and seeds 8. Avocado and olives 9. Blackberries strawberries 10. I must have fallen asleep somewhere
Life and health was totally different before knowing you. After watching your videos and by following them I changed myself a lot. My mental strength, confidence and physical condition improved tremendously. Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg. And my request to you to educate us posting new videos.
Count your calories. It doesn't matter whether you eat fat or lean - 1000 calories is 1000 calories and you will lose weight. Don't eat much sugar if you are pre-diabetic. If you are normally healthy have some ice cream every week. Eat a hot dog at the ball park. Have some frys with your burger. Eat some pizza every 2 weeks or so. Put sugar in your coffee, eat some cookies, and have a Snickers when you crave one. Live life. My grandparents lived to be over 90 eating butter, milk with cream on the top; a fresh baked apple pie with sugar and butter on the top. Made ice cream with peachs or banannas. Stay active. Do some resistance work to keep your muscle mass; do some running or walking. Eat fruits and vegetables. Put butter on your potatoe. Eat broccoli with butter. Lean meat; fish and chicken. Have a steak every week if you want. If your genetics limit your life to 50 years or 100 years, live your life without obsessing about longevity. Oh yeah, and don't forget sardines.
There are so many “Top 10” lists of food videos out there. This channel is the Only One that explains the reasons & science behind why it’s a ‘Top 10’. I might be stubborn but I can’t just change my eating habits because some guy on RUclips makes a list. But when it’s explained to me in plain speak as Dr Ekberg does I’m 100% on board. Thanks Doc.
Thank you Garry Rowland.😄 I love to hear that. And obviously you are very smart, not stubborn. I have to shake my head every time someone says in a comment "just go to time stamp __:__ for the list so you don't have to watch the whole thing." Those people are gonna skip around and never gain any understanding of what to do.
@@drekberg it annoys me when people do that, i think its disrespectful to people such as yourself that go to the time and trouble to make these helpful videos
Im used to making this olive. oil, 2 eggs and not full tbsp of lemon juice for the base, some black pepper and himallayan salt and third avocado in a 500gr jars. when it gets half left i just add curd to fill it back up and eat it like that. never counted calories mind you. nothing aroumd the waist changes until i add refined carbs. krill oil before sleep for insane sleep effect.
I knew about fasting for a long time, but low or no carb and high fat was something I was sceptical about. Knowing thoroughly the ins and outs really keeps me on track since I know what the benefits of my efforts are ! Thank you so much for the way you present the information ! What I would love to see is some examples of meals you eat on an average day, whether it’s an intermittent fasting day or one where you maybe have to eat out: what do you eat? Thanks in advance 🤗
Thank you C A R O L S U M M E R. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Great video! The only thing you didn't mention is that when we eat meat (sometimes a lot like being Carnivore) Gluconeogenesis does not happen automatically just because we ate meat. Gluconeogenesis is Demand Driven, not Supply Driven. It will only occur when certain cells have a need for glucose, it doesn't just run all the time, converting protein to glucose causing blood glucose to rise every time we eat meat.
Thank you Steve Fulgione. Great point. The body is not random. I'll do some videos in the near future on the types of protein and how they are utilized. 😄
@@mini-sananthony5700 Dr. Rhonda Patrick had some very insightful information about how the body adapts and will process protein into glucose if you are deprived. Necessary for brain function your body will convert it. True Ketosis is not as simple as not eating carbs. Joe Rogan Experience Episode 1701 8/25 Worth a listen
I went on a low carb diet for 3 months..It played havoc on my body...I lost weight but my energy levels and strength levels dived..my sleep and bowel movements also suffered.. we need carbs for general health and well being
Love The ‘Hell-o Health Champions’ !! Because it takes A LOT OF DISCIPLINE On This Planet To Fight THE, ‘ I Don’t Care’ !! Attitude. I fight it daily , working my attitude, every day
Thank you Dr Ekberg…my family & I so appreciate YOU💝 The information you give us is so valuable and can’t thank you enough for what you do! God Bless you and your family🙏🏼
I have started the Keto diet 3 weeks ago and have lost 4.5kg which i am very happy with. Maintaining the scores is a bit confusing and I did not appreciate what the Macros were meaning, until now. I have got amuch better understanding of it all. Thankyou

I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
This is your best video for someone starting a low carb or keto lifestyle. If only people would pay attention. There are far too many people who think low carb/keto means swapping low carb junk food for the usually high carb processed things.
Thank you Aminata Kanu. Very true. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Low carb diet definitely works. My problem is that I am sensitive to salt and I have high blood pressure. I read that to do a keto diet, one must increase sodium to 4 gm daily- which I cant do. Any suggestions??
Berries and cream is my special "prep weapon" when doing 24h or 48h fasting. I like to make this my last meal before I fast and eat that as a meal if I want to extend my fasting with a day and I also make it my first meal when breaking my fast. It's a great cushion against hunger!
Thanks very much for this as I have been diabetic for whatever reason for the last 20 years. I eat exactly like what's described in this video other than no dairy. Very helpful information!
Thank you papyber. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
I absolutely love you Dr Ekberg, in a single day you transformed me from eating five or six random protein meals a day trying to body build to two meals a day fasting for 11 hours. You showed me I was getting 17% of my whey protein, eliminated the fear of drinking a carton of egg whites because #1(protein) is the whole egg, stopped all processed food and soft drinks. I'm a Health Champion now! I have one question if you could Grace it; I'm trying to build as much muscle tissue as I can I'm in the gym for 3 hours a day, is two high animal protein meals a day going to develop the muscle tissue im after?
I'm blessed to have 4 mulberry trees that birds planted for me. They're pretty low in carbs from the research I've found. I take your advice that if we could find it in nature to eat then it has to be better for us than anything man has tried to create as ''food'' Love your videos! I went from 300g + of carbs to only 70 a day and have lost 10 pounds in the last month and feel like I'm thirty again at age 50.
You are so explicit as usual. Could you please elaborate on dark chocolate, cacao nibs, cocoa powder and keto chocolate? All sugar free of course. Thank you.
Here I am eating 550-600G of carbs from whole plant foods every day. Best health markers I've had in my whole life. My HA1C has been 4.0-4.2 at every checkup for the last 3 years.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. It’s helpful to learn this kind of detail. I am reminded to combine foods (fats and fibre), to reduce their insulin response (and to allow nutrients to combine together for their best absorption). Giving up fruits just when they are all freshly abundant is really difficult, but I have to choose instead to achieve fat adaption. There is no sense in shooting myself in the foot after putting in all this time and effort! It is great for us to be empowered to regain our health and affect our family’s health as well, not making the same errors that we unknowingly have made all these years.
Whenever I get the notification that you have uploaded a new video I get so happy and excited😊😊As always very thorough explanation! Can you please do a video on Diverticulitis? Thanks for educating us🙏🙏
Hi Dr. Ekbrg. Could you please make a video special for women and keto diet. We would really appreciate that. Because I think keto is a little different for women specially during period time. Thank you a lot.
What about pemmican. It is 50% fat and 50% protein. How does that affect our insulin response? Our Native American ancestor's survived mainly on pemmican during the winters.

Great video - simple to follow and understand and powerful as a consequence. Out of interest, the 'total calories' column in your tables is for what weight of the food? Or is it a serving size measure? I haven't been able to work it out. Sorry if I missed this in the video!
NOTES - read along WHILE listening to vid to catch all his details:
1) fats - olive oil, coconut* oil, meat fat, butter, ghee, mct oil.
2) meat - the fattier, the less insulin effect.
3) eggs
4) dairy without lactose (like hard cheeses).
Low carb / low lactose dairy is: cream, sour cream.
High carb lactose dairy is: skim milk, low fat dairy.
5) leafy greens. - lettuce - fibrous filler food sources. Arugula, spinach, kale, etc. Add 2tbsp olive oil even better.
6) non starchy, fibrous veggies - broccoli, cruciferous, cabbages, peppers, etc.
7) nuts. - macadamia, pecans, walnuts, coconut* "meat"*, pistachios, pili nuts.
8) seeds - flax, hemp, chia.
9) oily fruits - avocados, olives.
10) the low carb fruits are: (lemons, limes, currants, cranberries have less sugar than berries), blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries. Berries - esp the sweeter ones: 1/2 cup when eaten with heavy cream, the macros improve / less spike of insulin.
11) - additional comment from me / other sources: eating fiber or a fiber rich food first, BEFORE eating more simple carb / higher glycemic foods, can also help cut the insulin spike from the simple carbs by 25-30%.
* = Okay, this is serious now: I have the following info on the highest authority: Ryan Cyabyab, creator of "The Coconut Song" (available on RUclips):

Nice job. A fourth 'nut' Dr. Sten is a fan of is coconut meat. Trader Joe's here in US sells bags of unsweetened coconut 'chips' / flakes for $1.99, much more convenient than butchering a whole coconut!
Can we eat raisins
So very true. I’ve cut carbohydrates and my hunger pangs are gone! I feel stress free and my mental health is wonderful.
I will never give up my berries, so many great benefits, Antioxidants. Have a blueberrie, raspberry, kale and flaxseed smoothie every morning. The rest of the day is low carb. Never felt better.

I have been on intermittent fasting for about ten weeks. Amazingly I have lost 23 pounds, my hdl/ldl and A1C are at historic low levels. I have bought a new wardrobe and with delight donated shirts, pants, jackets and more. I listen to Dr Stan every night, over and over again as he keeps me reinforced. I have my first meal of the day at noon and don't eat anything after 8pm. Eight hour window for food, sixteen hour window for the body to do its work. I may have lost all that my body will allow but will enjoy the health benifits for the rest of my life. We were on a cruise a few weeks ago and I didn't eat bread, pasta, rice or deserts. It was easy.
So you fast for 16 and only eat from 12-8 pm ? And when you do eat it is very low carb meals ? High protein ?
Great job
Better to watch this on 1.50 speed than the normal speed. Thank me later
Lol. Yeah, it WORKED💪! I'll keep that in mind the next slow talking video I watch!

I weighed 250lbs, went on a low carb diet and now I’m at 160lbs.
Holy crap
Can you share your diet program if you do not mind. Thank you in advance.
@@pelon1977dl Basically Only had 30 grams of Carbs a day and cut out all sugar completely. Every morning had Turkey bacon with eggs and Unsweet Almond milk. Lots of veggies and all types of meat and cheeses for meals. If I had a sweet craving I would have zero sugar popsicles. There’s so many low carb options today I never felt hungry I can eat anytime.
@@river9055 thank you very much for your response. Mission to do.
..buy rotisserie chicken from whole foods there antibioitcs and hormones free..buy for 3 or 4 day .3 times a day or 4 if you can do your match.rotisserie chicken saves you time and nobody knows but me im the only one that know this..when you get tired of chicken put it in a blender. and put one bottle and another half bottle of water and drink it cold. If you drink it hot you will vomot for the rich flavor but i suggest you to love it the flavor everytime you eat it.and that it bro. drink coffee. buy your coffee maker.and buy sturbucks package of good coffee with no sugar added some of them have hazel and sugar so see the ingredients befoere you buy.
the starbucks bag its for 4 or 5 coffee makes times. So make sure you do the coffe concen tr rated.
Fill and empty bottle of water all the way drink it in the morning or everyning 10 minutes before every meal so you can get the high
.cofee its an appetite supprressant so it will help . And well thats it .good luck. This all shyt is nonsense they talk and talk for nothing and dont eat vegetables. Once you reach your goal. eat normal amd exercice 4 times a week .to.mainain your weight. and keep fat away. And thats it good luck
All those years I thought I was doing the right thing having cereal with skim milk for breakfast. No wonder I was prediabetic at 60. (But NOT at 62!)
Yeeesss Just Rusty. That's what I'm talking about. 😄
Exactly my experience.
Yep. We followed the recommendations, and they were wrong.
Same for my partner. 'Accidentally ' leaving a playlist of Dr Ekbert and Dr Fung's videos streaming on the tv when he came home one evening has completely turned his health, and weight, around!
He does miss his Crunchy Nut Cornflakes though...!
Yup. In order to avoid the heart disease and the quad bypass my father got at 63, I went 'low fat' and used to plow through bran flakes and skim milk and skipped all the steak and eggs and bacon for many years, and it got me coronary artery disease and a heart attack in my mid-50s. They fooled me big time. I should have gone HIGH fat, low carb. I had no idea.
I learn so much from this man! He is so calm and teaches so clearly. The best part is that he isn't trying to SELL me anything like others. I've learned more from him than I did in my college nutrition course!
Thank you Donna Hanna. Thank you for your kind words.😄
Yup, when I hear a sales pitch at the end I feel like I'm being hustled!!😳lol.
There's only a small handful of RUclips Docs who DON'T do that. This awesome Doc is one of them!💜
THANK You.
I agree, it seems like he likes balanced diets not selling high carb or high fat diets, but giving advice on balanced diets even though he kind of supports healthy high fat diets to some degree. High sugar and processed fat diets seems to be the enemy number one to health and I couldn´t agree more. As a type one diabetic (who works out 5 times a week and have an active lifestyle outside of that) medium carb, and medium fat has been the best option for me, which doesn´t mean medium fructose, medium processed margarine :)
i agree 100% , couldn't have said it better myself Donna Hanna
2 meals a day was giving dad in his 90s half a cup of berries with cream! He loved it and his sugar level was good. wheat or rice or potatoes only once on Sundays
I’ve been on a low carb diet for years but my weight has been fluctuating and I really didn’t understand it. This has been a huge help.
It's weird to read labels, ingredients, organic, GMO, sugar, fake sugar, etc for years, but never paying any attention to the carb count or fat percentages at all until now.
LOVE your channel! I’ve been watching for some time and am a fan. I’m a very long-term ketoer - 11 years with a couple of low carb (under 50) per day and a sad break during the pandemic. When I started, and for many years afterward, there was little info and nothing like the proliferation of YT channels and FB groups. I had spent so long figuring it out and refining my diet through research. It was wearying, when the internet ramped up, to see the amount of misinformation being spread and the complete slavery to “the lists” with absolutely no knowledge to back their viewpoints up. I appreciate your factual, common sense and science-based approach.

Hi,pls can you give me a sample type meal of the day? I need Keto but i fear to make mistake,
My personal goal with keto is to manage my ood sugar levels. I'm type 2 diabetic and aim for ultra low carb intake each day. So far so good, I'm off my meds and bloods are under control.
I did the same on a plant base diet 12 years A1C 5.2 I eat all the fruit unlimited
Great job
I like the way this doctor explains everything slowly and simply and you can understand much more easily than most.
I can attest to the keto diet as a type 1 diabetic. When I first went on it I lost 45 pounds and I have been able to keep my A1C near 7.2-7.5 over the last 5yrs down from 13! For the first time all the highs and lows are way more under control. I have found that when I get low sometimes still, if I eat some carbs like (depending on how low I am) some grapes and some cheese (protein) then it's not just a straight up high and it levels it out...I have learned a lot from learning about food and health, we have GOT to take responsiblity for our own health and stop being lazy fat butts about it! (I include myself in this!) I still struggle with my food addiction but my diabetes is under control for the first time in my 46yrs!
From a parent to a Type 1 child. Well done 👏
Thankyou😅
Thank you @lauraslanestravels for confirming just how important it is also for Type 1 diabetics. So many T1D's are told to eat what they want and just take more insulin as needed. Congratulations on your great results. 😄
Great job
Respectfully, 7.5 is not "controlled"
You should read Dr Bernstein's book: The Diabetes Solution ir Diabetes 101
Going low carb helped me bring my blood sugar A1c from a high of 9.3 to 7.2 in 9 months. Bonus: my chronic nail fungus cleared up during that time (I had struggled with it for ten years and nothing worked). My nails have continued to improve, I've lost weight, fat and my skin has improved as well (no more hormonal breakouts). I'm 63.
I'm completely controlling my diabetes with low carb diet no drugs no insulin
Jublia, a medicine for toe fungus, works wonders! Very expensive
Are you type 1?
Thank you @vsmith9905. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing 😄
I'm 58 and in good health but staring down the barrel of the last third of my life. We all need to adjust as we age and to do that we just need the plain facts. Thank you for presenting them here.
Dr. Sten , I learn so much from your every video. I know you spend much time and energy to present this information. I am 66, and in the best health of my life by following the knowledge that I have gained from you. Thanks so much.
Thank you Harlan Shoulders for sharing. That is music to my ears. Keep it up! 😄
Thanks!
I think every body is different. I'm vegan and feel amazing. Blood panel is great. On no carb with meat I felt terrible and blood panel was aweful!!
I've been on a carnivore diet for about 3 weeks now. I've lost 15 lbs. and I feel calmer, I don't have cravings and I am not hungry. This is the perfect diet for me. My weight loss has slowed down a bit but that's okay. I plan to continue until I get a bit closer to my goal and then I'll start adding back some foods. All of the ones you've highlighted are on my list. But the really great news is that I'm not feeling I MUST have them. That's completely new.
I was on for 3 weeks and lost nothing. I had to stop, was making me sick
That's amazing! What do you eat other than alot of meat? Just curious!
They need to teach this to children as part of the school curriculum . I taught my kids very early on about sugar.
Knowledge is power !
They tried once and right-wingers lost their crap

I never knew i could speed up the sound. Well I (not tech saavy) tapped my screen at the video which brought up settings icon. Change the speed there.
Awesome!
When you say protein turns to glucose, "relatively quickly" what is that relative to? Not the SAD? Or do you mean fat? Maybe I'm missing the point. Thanks for the inspiration and hard work it takes to make these videos.
Doing IF now, so the solution of not being hungry while fasting is to focus on low carb. Really happy with the way I feel
My primary Dr warn against consuming coconut oil .. he said it’s ok to used it on your skin .. I used it for oil pulling in the mornings.. one love 💕
The PowerPoint format vs.the white board: So much more effective and clear. Well done! Such excellent information and presentation that it's a shame if students are unable to read the data.
I’ve done Keto on and off for 2 years with amazing results and not just weight loss! I limit myself to 20 carbs a day however I only have around 10-15 max. It’s a hard diet to start but once you have it sussed it’s easy. I recommend it to anyone. Thanks for your info 👍🏼
Yes! I testify to this, I have the same results. Two things I found have a beneficial effect to reduce blood sugar and keep it lower are daily exercise, and a good sleep pattern.
I would like to continue kept but it's impossible for me to build muscles or even maintain muscles. Do you have a solution for this?
What is your diet on the keto ? I’m a diabetic 2 and I need to find a consistent diet
@@dalcow1101 I eat fairly normally on Keto just by tweaking normal meals. I usually have plain Greek yoghurt, keto friendly cereal and coffee with cream for brekkie. I have a low carb chicken wrap for lunch and for dinner things like, steak egg & salad, lamb chops broccoli and cheese sauce, lamb and beef mince lettuce cups or I make my own Pattie’s for “low carb burger” with lettuce instead of the bun, chicken stir fry’s, “Chaffles (look them up so delicious!) homemade pizza using a low carb pizza base, wrap or Chaffle for pizza base, and heaps of other “low carb meals” I’ve found. I also have a keto friendly dessert every night! If you don’t know much about Keto I would suggest researching it and knowing and understanding what “ketosis” is and how to achieve it. Then once you understand about carbs, protein & fats and how they work for Keto diet just search keto recipes there’s heaps of RUclipsrs that have amazing keto channels and recipes. It sounds overwhelming at first but now I don’t even need to track my carb intake its become habit. My biggest pieces of advice are understanding what foods contain carbs, planning all your meals a week ahead and drinking lots of water! Good luck 😁
My question is everything you eat turns to carbs. So, how can you eliminate carbs in your diet. I have been on keto for over a year, and haven't lost weight. My A1C ranges around pre diabetes. Even though my blood sugar results have improved the results are very frustrating.
Hm, maybe try listening to Dr. Boz. And maybe go more carnivore.
Would apple cider vinegar in water before meals help? I'm trying out acv in water with cranberry concentrate to make it taste better, and sometimes some fresh lemon juice too .
2 years and counting on Keto now. I’ve never kept my weight off so long...and easy peasy. Remember, it’s not a diet but a way of life.
Idk y but I can't get into ketosis and I'm doing everything right 🙃
When I did this in 2018 it took a few weeks before I lost 1 pound. I was actually at my goal weight for quite some time. Then we had the plandemic and I learned to make sourdough bread. That was my downfall. Although, I thought sourdough bread was more nutritious and less carbs.I guess I ate too much for too long. I put on 15 pound and can't fit into anything. Now that I'm back on Keto, I've lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks but it's much more difficult for me this time, and it took longer for the me to shed the first pound. This video was very helpful because I cut out all fruits and sweets and the craving for something to finish off after a meal was making me crazy. I'm accustomed to having a clementine or some berries and now I know that I can have some berries. Yippie!!! Thank you for your comment MiHiHemi...Many Blessing...
@@jojomarie7446 life is too short. Why not try to eat one slice and be more active? How are french ppl so skinny when they eat croissants with butter and Nutella and baguette daily? If you are doing all these diets your metabolism will slow down.
@@MissCocoSays Love your user name! I'm not as young as I use to be but I'm VERY Active. Exhausting Active to be honest. I've lived most of my life eating whatever I wanted, never been a junk food eater. Junk food was not as prevalent as it has been in the last 30 years or so. I've always just kept it out of my house. I've always loved vegetables, fruits and salad so no problem there. But I've never liked fat. And now I am liking it. I'm enjoying my bacon and eggs on Sunday, cooked in lard that I make myself. Starting off was a little frustrating, but I can't stand a double chin, and I won't have one. I make sure I reward myself. I just can't let it carry into the whole week. Enjoy your nutella and baguettes. ;) Nice talking with you
@@jojomarie7446 - PANDEMIC - fixed it for you.
Hey Doc. Could you do video about absorption of veggies? I am a carnivore, btw. I am not going back eating veggies and carbs, but what i know vegetables have very small absorption rate. And they come with toxins,oxalates, lectins carcinogens etc. So, I see pointless eating them.
i love that you call your viewers “health champions”
I won’t give up fruit entirely. I eat strawberries and blueberries with high fat yogurt, heavy cream and almond milk, with a tbspn of peanut butter and Stevia for flavoring about every day and have lost 25 lbs. easily doing keto. Dr. Ekberg - you are a gem! You’ve changed my life for the better. ❤️✊
CutZy, I agree. I enjoy some fruit every day. I will throw a half cup of blueberries into my Keto pancakes or will have three to four strawberries with cream. I only eat berries as these are lower in sugar in small quantities. It’s the only carbs that I eat and doesn’t raise my blood glucose.
stevia is contraceptive! be very careful. I use all fruit just low quantity and I buy organic and seasonal.
Loose the almond milk
@@m0nsterman902 Why? There's no sugar in almond milk.
@@silviab9810 carbs are sugar. Real milk has less carbs and more fat/protein which is better for the human body.
Jak dobrze, że w dzisiejszych czasach jest Internet i z tłumaczeniem. Dziękuję za wiedzę, którą przekazujesz. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Hi Dr. Ekberg. I started the carnivore diet last week. So far I've lost 2.7kg. I'll naturally have days where I don't feel hungry before 13:00, and other days I wake up hungry. But so far its working.
The reason I'm doing the Carnivore diet is because its a bit easier to maintain in a household where making meals for everyone's needs is impossible. I've also changed my to a better quality water supply. In my personal life I've noticed that I get a severe insulin response when I mix carbs with protein. Especially if its a lot of carbs with a little protein. Was wondering if you'd mind making a meal prep video?
if you are doing low carbs because you have just been diagnosed T2 Diabetic or pre diabetic, watch the LDL cholesterol raise. Avoid thing such as Coconut oil and animal fat and processed foods. cutlets rather than burgers etc.
I love macadamias but I too easily binge into calorie overload. I also put MCT oil on hold as my triglycerides are high despite a low overall sugar intake. Avocados are wonderful because they are a satiating superfood, decreasing the urge to snack between meals. Progress, not perfection.
I just had to let you know that I love listening to you. You have such a comforting way of expressing your knowledge. It's much appreciated over here 😊👍
Great clarification on the Carnivore. So many now go "carnivore" but don't realize the way protein can also elicit a glucose response, depending on how fatty the cut. It is not a black and white, one size fits all. Thanks for your content.❣👍
I think I’ve died and gone to heaven, who would have ever thought that we would look to food that is high in fat! God bless you dear Doctor. 💥🙏🏼✝️
Thank you for this one. Enjoyed very much.
After years of searching and researching, knowing that my total cholesterol is over 300, my daily diet is;
3-5 pasture raised eggs, oatmeal, flax hemp chia seeds, peanut butter, wild blueberries, kale or broccoli, homemade whole milk Greek yogurt, coconut oil, olive oil, black coffee, unsweetened organic soy milk, almonds for years.
Even though I am Asian, I try not to eat rice or ramen.
Things I absolutely try not to eat are;
cereals, soda, seed oils, flour foods, fried foods, sugar, juices, and all and any kind of processed foods.
Dr, Sten is a true DR who is not swayed by the lobbying of the giant food companies.
1. Butter and pure fat
2. Meat (chicken and fish)
3. Eggs
4. Dairy
5. Leafy greens
6. Broccoli cauliflower
7. Nuts and seeds
8. Avocado and olives
9. Blackberries strawberries
10. I must have fallen asleep somewhere

Please, somebody help with the 10th food?
Thank you.

Life and health was totally different before knowing you. After watching your videos and by following them I changed myself a lot. My mental strength, confidence and physical condition improved tremendously. Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg. And my request to you to educate us posting new videos.
Count your calories. It doesn't matter whether you eat fat or lean - 1000 calories is 1000 calories and you will lose weight. Don't eat much sugar if you are pre-diabetic. If you are normally healthy have some ice cream every week. Eat a hot dog at the ball park. Have some frys with your burger. Eat some pizza every 2 weeks or so. Put sugar in your coffee, eat some cookies, and have a Snickers when you crave one. Live life. My grandparents lived to be over 90 eating butter, milk with cream on the top; a fresh baked apple pie with sugar and butter on the top. Made ice cream with peachs or banannas.
Stay active. Do some resistance work to keep your muscle mass; do some running or walking. Eat fruits and vegetables. Put butter on your potatoe. Eat broccoli with butter. Lean meat; fish and chicken. Have a steak every week if you want. If your genetics limit your life to 50 years or 100 years, live your life without obsessing about longevity. Oh yeah, and don't forget sardines.
Look up fibrous versus starchy carbs. Fibrous are the better ones for sure, and you need them to provide so many vital minerals and nutrients!
Thank you Doctor. watching you all the way from Kuwait
Best video ever breaking this down! So love the way Dr. Ekberg explains stuff...he's a true doctor in every sense of the word.

There are so many “Top 10” lists of food videos out there.
This channel is the Only One that explains the reasons & science behind why it’s a ‘Top 10’.
I might be stubborn but I can’t just change my eating habits because some guy on RUclips makes a list.
But when it’s explained to me in plain speak as Dr Ekberg does I’m 100% on board.
Thanks Doc.

Im used to making this olive. oil, 2 eggs and not full tbsp of lemon juice for the base, some black pepper and himallayan salt and third avocado in a 500gr jars. when it gets half left i just add curd to fill it back up and eat it like that. never counted calories mind you. nothing aroumd the waist changes until i add refined carbs. krill oil before sleep for insane sleep effect.

Great video! The only thing you didn't mention is that when we eat meat (sometimes a lot like being Carnivore) Gluconeogenesis does not happen automatically just because we ate meat. Gluconeogenesis is Demand Driven, not Supply Driven. It will only occur when certain cells have a need for glucose, it doesn't just run all the time, converting protein to glucose causing blood glucose to rise every time we eat meat.
Thank you Steve Fulgione. Great point. The body is not random. I'll do some videos in the near future on the types of protein and how they are utilized. 😄
@@drekberg Cool, much appreciated. 👍
Steve Fulgione It may not be significant but there is glycogen in muscle meat and liver.
@@mini-sananthony5700 Dr. Rhonda Patrick had some very insightful information about how the body adapts and will process protein into glucose if you are deprived. Necessary for brain function your body will convert it. True Ketosis is not as simple as not eating carbs.

Low carb diet definitely works. My problem is that I am sensitive to salt and I have high blood pressure. I read that to do a keto diet, one must increase sodium to 4 gm daily- which I cant do. Any suggestions??
Any thoughts on high cadmium levels in flaxseed?
Berries and cream is my special "prep weapon" when doing 24h or 48h fasting. I like to make this my last meal before I fast and eat that as a meal if I want to extend my fasting with a day and I also make it my first meal when breaking my fast. It's a great cushion against hunger!

What Dr. Ekberg does is enlightening us with knowledge
Something that I did at home was making ricotta and using it with berries and monkfruit sugar. It tasted like a berry cheesecake.
I absolutely love you Dr Ekberg, in a single day you transformed me from eating five or six random protein meals a day trying to body build to two meals a day fasting for 11 hours. You showed me I was getting 17% of my whey protein, eliminated the fear of drinking a carton of egg whites because #1(protein) is the whole egg, stopped all processed food and soft drinks.
I'm a Health Champion now!
I have one question if you could Grace it; I'm trying to build as much muscle tissue as I can I'm in the gym for 3 hours a day, is two high animal protein meals a day going to develop the muscle tissue im after?
I'm blessed to have 4 mulberry trees that birds planted for me. They're pretty low in carbs from the research I've found. I take your advice that if we could find it in nature to eat then it has to be better for us than anything man has tried to create as ''food'' Love your videos! I went from 300g + of carbs to only 70 a day and have lost 10 pounds in the last month and feel like I'm thirty again at age 50.
I eat 10 carbs daily...lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks.
I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY...he's great in teaching me to become a "Health Champion"! GREAT speaker!

I wish I can manage like you 😔
Great information, thank you. I will save the video to watch again and again. I need to change my eating habits.
Your Info is just GREAT!!!
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. It’s helpful to learn this kind of detail. I am reminded to combine foods (fats and fibre), to reduce their insulin response (and to allow nutrients to combine together for their best absorption). Giving up fruits just when they are all freshly abundant is really difficult, but I have to choose instead to achieve fat adaption. There is no sense in shooting myself in the foot after putting in all this time and effort! It is great for us to be empowered to regain our health and affect our family’s health as well, not making the same errors that we unknowingly have made all these years.
