That's 150 mls per day.. which is less than I've been eating daily for decades.. along with between 4 and 8 local farm fresh eggs per day, for approximately the last 30 years with almost perfect consistency. I'm 50 years old and in almost perfect shape, my blood work comes back perfect according to my "doctor" who is an arrogant fool and a tool for big Pharma. I keep the idiot around for lab requisitions etc. This "family doctor" got his two young children vaxxed and keeps them right up to date on MRNA boosters. My good friend over heard him telling the other doctor at the clinic that any parent who doesn't get their kids triple boosted should be arrested and put in a camp, and have the kids taken from them by social services. Anyway, my point is that these these doctors and their advice for health is almost always advice that will destroy your health.. listen to your gut and don't be fooled.
@@joalyincontroly4379 Sounds like most of the Doctors out there are untrustworthy, and there are some like Sten who have helped many.. I am a retired 🏴 RN.. I endorse all he says.I eat Scrambled Eggs and chopped salted bacon with butter 1 slice of toast every day.. Low Carb, two meals a day, and IF 18/6 with 1 small carb at each meal. Vaccination is a No No, Statins NO NO..
At 107 years of age my grandmother passed on. She lived on a farm most of her life, had Jersey cows, and live stock. We ate butter, made ghee, cooked with lard, and ate what was available. Most of my relatives lived beyond 90. What we didn't have was refined sugar, refined flour, pastas, or refined carbs. Processed foods were a luxury and even in that time considered to be "not good for you".
Most importantly, you didn't have SEED OILS. Look into the french diet, all which included flour and sugar - though, not seed oils. They are the greatest culprit in my opinion.
There's an awful lot of profit in keeping people sick, medicated and misinformed. It's great that this type of information is finally starting to break through. Thanks!
Thank You @realjoeplummer so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
@@Nobody-Nowhere I disagree that there's "more money" in challenging the dogmatic narratives surrounding public health (actually, it can cost doctors their livelihood). But yes, I gave him $5 for what probably took him 25+ hours to produce. Hopefully he doesn't spend the entire windfall in one place.
It should but it will bankrupt the food industry and ruin the idea to make us stop eating meat. The truth is plants and chemicals in food make a lot of profits. Imagine everyone eating fresh meat and animal products(diary, eggs,etc) plus some vegetables and fruit during season. Imagine people could eat 1 or 2 times a day only a steak in the summer with some salad. How is it compared to selling people kilos of cheap to produce vegetables, chips, waffles, seed oils, etc every day? On carbs every 4 hours blood sugar drops and makes you feel hungry no matter how much you have eaten. Also instead of 20 products in supermarkets now the industry sells thousands. Lets also add the other big business- pharma. People buy tons of supplements to get what they would get from animal products. So, yes, they should but they never will.
@@martinjameskeys even saturated fats good in carnivore and keto. It's all a lie. Doctors get like 3 hours of nutrition studies while in school for 7 years.
I know 5 bucks isn't much these days, but it's what I can spare. You have my gratitude, Dr Ekberg. And you are one of very few to whom I feel comfortable applying the word 'doctor' without reservation, for you truly are a teacher of great benefit to your fellow beings! Thanks!
I went low carb just about 14 years ago. My husband had 3 strokes and we found out he was diabetic. I put him on the Adventist influence diet they gave me at the hospital. Every 3 weeks, he had bloodwork. Always worse, as was he. This went on for 8 months. It hit me that the so called healthy diet that had failed me for decades was failing him. I read Good Calories, Bad Calories and watched The Oiling of America. Switched us both to the old 1950s British diet in the prologue. His next bloodwork improved. Kept getting better. Several months later a stranger understood him. Still doing great. I started at barely fitting a size 18. Lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks. I also craved butter. Lots of butter. And as I was losing weight I let myself eat all the butter I wanted. Over a pound a week easy. Now when I was 42 an exray showed degenerative bone disease in my right foot. I was told by 57 I would be in a wheelchair. Nothing they could for it. I started the low carb diet and the butter cravings at 52. Before that I was starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day for decades. Every step for years had been painful and I had a job where I would get 70 thousand steps a day. Pain was normal in my life. About 4 months in my butter cravings finally slowed down. I was walking down the stairs and it suddenly hit me that my foot was not hurting. I found out years later that butter if full of things you need for healthy bones. I am now 65 and I can hop on that foot. Butter heals.
My triglycerides were high on the starvation diet. My doctor gave me the warning. Ever since my triglycerides have been extremely low , especially for someone my age, according to my doctor.
I heard a woman aged 105 talk about how she ignored the rubbish about low fat diets and she spent her entire life consuming eggs, butter, bacon and cream in her coffee. She didn't even know it but she was consuming a lot of healthy fat.
I feel the best when I eat eggs and bacon fried in lard for breakfast at about 2p.m. and drink water with cream or butter, salt from time to time and a lot of water.. I am full of energy all day long.
@@jola9533 Hi there! Your info is fascinating. I've just stopped drinking coffee two weeks ago. I was having PVC's (Premature Ventricular Contractions). After I stopped, they went away. Anyways, I drank coffee with heavy cream and butter. Just wondering how you drink water with cream or butter. Is it cold water or lukewarm? I also eat eggs and bacon, lots of meat, salmon, sardines and nuts and berries. Very low carb. My blood work is great for a Type 2 diabetic. Thank you!
High blood sugar raises insulin which helps regulate it but insulin is also the hormone responsible for your body absorbing fat. If you keep your insulin levels low, you don’t have to worry much about the fat you eat.
I've been carnivore for a little over two years. I haven't had any blood work done for over a decade, so I can only go by how I feel. All I know is that going from the Standard American Diet to elimination pretty much all carbohydrates and seed oils has drastically changed my life for the better. I have much more energy, no more brain fog, my mood is much better, I've lost weight, inflammation in my joints is gone, sleep better, no more problems with my GI tract - the list goes on and on.
Tried it for 2 weeks and while the first 3 days were a nightmare (stomach was blocked, insane cravings), but the rest of the 2 weeks were pure bliss. My face became structured and body was very lean, I got rid of my lower back pain (forever since actually), my stomach acid issues disappeared, and I had zero cravings. I ate just because I was hungry. I went back to chaos, and now I want to do it again, then ease into mostly carnivore with some wholemeal pastas every now and then, but not a bowl, just tiny like Italians.
@@One-Day-After-Another basically just meat like chicken, beef or fish, and then some eggs and certain cheeses on the side. It is not a crime to drop some tiny legumes here and there. I generally tend to eat this way anyway normally, except I cheat with potatoes/rice, however, very very minimal during summer, because more carnivore helps with excess sweat or fatigue. But during winter, I include more carbs because they keep me warm and I get energy faster. The swelling probably also keeps my joints warm haha
@@One-Day-After-Another also, if you're concerned about feeling hungry, you get used to it as it's only an illusion in the beginning. After a few days, your body reorganizes those receptors and you will know more accurately hunger from just wanting certain foods for the taste.
Tomorrow is 6 months of following this man’s advise. I’ve lost 90 lbs and went from 44 waist 4xl shirts to 36 waist xl shirts. Might want to listen to him. A1c was 12.4 now 4.
I weighted 220 pounds 7 months ago, now I weight 170 pounds. I was overweight and I followed this man’s advice and I’m doing much better now. I do OMAD, Leigh’s weights and I ocasionally do 3 days water fast. It’s unbelievable how much fat I have burned in such small span of time. I’m on my early 30s, btw.
I got my blood work done the other day. My triglycerides was 42! My Dr. Had to recheck it multiple times! I eat actual food. I think processed carbs taste gross, and I like not being obese. I used to be 320 lbs. I'm 170 now. This weight loss took a decade I'm not selling anything. Eat real food, exercise, sleep, drink water and work on your mental health.
WOOHOO!!! You go, Devin! I’m currently 300 lbs. at 5’ 10”. Committed 100% to the carnivore lifestyle yesterday. Looking to be at 210 by the end of this year. Stories like yours are super encouraging!!
I had my done a few weeks ago and it was 58, my doctor asked me if I was vegetarian......i replied that Im not vegetarian, that I eat meat as my mean food, he looked confused.
@@thomasjensen6243 my problem was the rice and the engine oil that I used eat. I was never a cereal person or fast foods. Always love meat and fluor tortilla home made. I give up carbs and the engine oils for better oils like olive oil cold pressed, avocado, and my favorite pork oil. Im 190 lbs, work out daily after work. I do a lot activity at work, Im a Refrigeration Tech.
Did he measure his hormone levels? As butter has 14x the estrogen load of dairy, the more dairy fat you consume the more estrogen you get. And even dairy milk can delay puberty on pre teens. And high intake of cheese lowers sperm count.
@@Nobody-Nowhere When you take it out of context, as you have, it looks like you are consuming a lot of estrogen when consuming dairy. In reality the human body produces from 54,000 nanograms to 630,000 nanograms of estrogen per day and a glass of milk contains just 2.2 nanograms. So yes, dairy contains more estrogen than other foods, but it has almost no effect on your estrogen levels.
I will never go back from butter (from grass fed cows - Kerry Gold Butter) to Magerine. All my previous back problems and chest pains (possibly heart related) have disappeared. And the quick recovery from short term illnesses is a bonus. I only buy on sale, so the difference with Magerine is very little to non-existent. Butter can easily be frozen at -20 degrees Celsius for 2 years - possibly longer.
I eat A LOT grass fed butter, the same brand as you plus an average of one cup of whipped cream daily ( I make it with stevia not cane sugar❤). I cut my cholesterol meds in half and now my lipid panels are all good. I am old and when I was in high school there may have been one or two obese individuals, we were all what is now considered thin BUT this was before high fructose corn syrup got added to all processed foods and diabetes became so common. I’m getting a fairly late start to fixing my diet but for the last couple years I have eliminated eating what is commonly eaten and my bone scans are good my arteries are clear and except for fibromyalgia pain have no physical complaints
Thanks for the butter tip regarding freezing. I have only bought KG butter for many years now and it is a joy to eat. VERY Small amount of carbs even less sugar AND at 80yrs old in 3 Weeks, I feel more like a teenager than a geriatric! While living in Canada for a few years, 1970's, I noticed my husband's waistline beginning to noticeably expand as did mine. Had no idea why and I was pretty clued up on food groups and healthy eating, no amount of additional exercise or food intake reduction, helped. It was Pretty disheartening! Took Dr. Ekberg's informative site to realise the connection to the, then new, cooking oils, never looked back; The information regarding starches was useful too.
Your explanation that our body has to use glucose first instead of fat because too much glucose will be dangerous to the body makes sooo much sense! It is not the body 'prefers' glucose, but the body is trying to remove glucose from the blood... chronic excess of glucose is the root of all problems!
The root of all problems are not carbs (especially physiologically appropriate carbs like fruit, fruit juices, some roots, honey, maple syrup and even sucrose, i.e. glucose+fructose without antinutrients and too much fiber). The problem is decades of PUFAs consumption which are not only toxic, estrogenic, carcinogenic, degenerative..., but also pro-diabetic. They are released to blood stream from fat tissue (where they are stored due to consumption) and block glucose entering to cell, while also damaging cells.
@@MrSidReal The problem is gluten, antinutrients and PUFAs in certain carbs and fat sources. Not fructose+glucose. I would recommend biologist/physiologist Dr. Ray Peat and his articles. It is humsn phydiology based on independent science (unlike many so called fumctional doctors and "alternative" people). Crazy are LC and keto people who choose to run on body's short term survival mechanism and long term cancer and degenerative metabolism. They also eat too much PUFAs, cause they don't understand the fatal effect of omega-3 no matter in which sources they are present.
I'd like to return my nursing degree for a refund and just go by what this guy is teaching. Not that nursing is bad, but I feel cheated on so many things.
The world needs to hear your voice though. It's so important and helpful to see people who were in the system getting out and talking about what's broken in it and letting people know what TO do.
how sad that it takes one random you tuber to get you convinced even though you were educated by the wisdoms of thousands of actual licensed and top practicing medical professionals all across the world . all you’re showing is that nurses like you have too little knowledge apparently to hold to experts and scientists teachings
@@klle3419 love, you need to know that the who that writes the books that teach western medicine is also the who that creates petro chemical medicines.
I always have to mention my grandparents who ate LOADS (I mean loads...) of butter, eggs, bacon, meat at every meal, and drank wine. Grandma used LARD (real animal lard, not Crisco!!) for everything - cakes, pie crusts, frying fish and chicken. They ate TONS of cheese and olives and saved all their bacon grease and used that to fry their ham & eggs and make french toast. They NEVER cut the skin or fat off their meat or poultry and loved eating the crispy skin of chicken or turkey. Neither of them ever did any exercise other than the daily gardening, house cleaning, or occasional walk around the block to see the neighbors. They were both very healthy and independent and lived into their 100's (grandma 106). My great-grandfather ate the same way and died at 99 slipping on icy steps taking out his garbage after an ice storm. - who knows how long he would have lived if he didn't have the accident. I don't believe ANYTHING the mainstream medical establishment tells me - as a matter of fact, if they tell me it's bad for me, I run right out and add it to my intake. If they tell me something is healthy, I avoid it like the plague.
I could never understand people who believed eggs were bad for you, that advise was a blatant lie. But they promoted eating crap like granola bars that are full of sugar.
Love your videos and information. You really do a nice job with the backgrounds and illustrations, very professional. I been on super low carb (Keto) since mid September 2022 (now April 2023). I have been religious.. no cheating at all, no cookies or sweets at Christmas... No bread, pasta, nothing. I feel good but only lost 10 lbs. (275 to 265). I am rarely in ketosis (blood test mostly .4 or .5, every now and then 1.5 when I take MCTs). What am I doing wrong? 59 years old, 6'1 265 now. A1c before Keto 6.3 havent tested after keto yet. All I eat is pasture raised eggs, pecans, wild caught salmon, salads, EVOO, MCT, Stevia, grass fed butter + beef, salads, green leafy veggies, avocados, following the advise of all the low carb/keto suggestions. Needless to say the price of food has sky rocketed but I have been religious. No bread, no sugar, no fruits, no juices, no pasta, no sweets.... just quality real food. I don't understand why I am not seeing more results. I have tried 16/8 intermittent fasting with a eating window from 12 - 8. Then I switched to eating window from 10 - 6pm. MCT in the coffee, no processed foods. Never drink alcohol (59 never been drunk) Sometimes I treat my self to a "desert" after dinner of almond or pecan butter (couple table spoons) or a shot of zero sugar whipped cream. My biggest "no no's" are diet tea daily, and once a week diet Pepsi with dinner. Could any of that be the issue? Obviously still too many calories, getting frustrated.
Thank you @fcalandra1234. Unfortunately, some people have really stubborn weight. One way to verify/monitor is to get some blood work. Stubborn weight people will usually have low glucose, A1c, and triglycerides, but high insulin. Some things to try would be longer fasting periods. Try to go 42-48 hours once a week or so. Also if possible try to use up some calories, i.e. exercise, but do it with long duration, low intensity exercise so you don't stress the body. Also I would lay off the diet drinks, and figure out how to make your own with Stevia and/or monk Fruit. Best of luck 😄
Wow! I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist and have been keto/ low carb for 2 years. My husband started keto/low carb 4 months ago after his A1c and fasting glucose entered the pre-diabetic range. After 4 months of eating this way, he returned to our doctor for bloodwork. His fasting blood sugar dropped 20 points to 81, A1c from 6.0 to 5.5, Triglycerides and liver enzymes to single digits and, even though his weight was never an issue, he dropped 20 pounds and 4 inches in his waist. On his Lipid studies, his HDL, total cholesterol and HDL all increased while his VLDL decreased. The nurse practitioner called to have him pick up a prescription for a statin. I told him that he would NOT be getting on a statin. We are both in our 70’s, no chronic illness, no medications. When he returns again in another 4 months, we’ll have a conversation with our doctor about WHY we made the decision to forego the statins. Your video was beautifully done and from my decades of laboratory experience I know you were spot on with your explanations. What I love the most is that you explained lipids in a way that anyone could understand. Thanks for a fantastic video.
Yes, I dropped my doc like a hot potatoe, when he told me if I don‘t start a heavy dose of statins right away I‘d die very soon 😆 All from 1 bloodtest, which showed elevated cholesterol, but my triglycerides were very low and I had been doing Clean Keto for over 3 yrs, dropped 80lbs, felt great, no more joint inflamation after just 2 weeks of starting Keto. I just wanted to see how I was doing and get some blood-panels, since I hadn‘t had any done in over 20 yrs. Well long story short, still going strong on Keto, didn‘t kick the bucket yet and don‘t even need a doctor - going on my 6th year eating Clean Keto. The only negative thing is, when I eat any carbs like rice or pasta or grains of any kind (on a „cheat“ day) which I‘ve only done a couple of times, I have a severe GI reaction, cramps, constipation. I suppose my body prefers Keto, so I‘ll just be happy I‘ve found my perfect way of staying healthy 🤓
@@boink800 I also think they‘re counting on the uninformed, unsuspecting patient . . . that will indeed become increasingly ill from these toxic pharma products, therefore creating more income for these doctors. Thanks to honest doctors like Dr. Ekberg, we are informed 🙏
I weighted 220 pounds 7 months ago, now I weight 170 pounds. I was overweight and I followed this man’s advice and I’m doing much better now.

You're losing weight because you eat one meal a day. Eating this much butter for only 100 days is not the same as much as most people eat. They do this all their lives and drop dead of some horrible disease with clogged arteries. I've seen people eat pizza once a day and still lose weight. My brother are lots of butter and oils for years. First, he had a stroke. The second time he had a heart attack. He is still fat and sick and takes 10 different medications. Eating this way is horrible for his health, but he can't see that. I am an integrative nutritionist. I was taught every diet is not for everyone. People are individuals and our bodies, organs, and arteries don't run the same. I ate butter and. olive oil for years. I was also fat and sick. I like my brother had a stroke and was on so many meds. I started whole food plant based with no oil or butter. I lost 53 lbs, my cholesterol went to normal and so is my blood levels. I take no meds at 62 yrs. I used to be on a walker at 56. It sits on my patio collecting dust. I'm still losing weight and very healthy. This way of eating may not work for everyone though. We all have to find our way of eating what's best for our individual needs. Good, you found yours.
@@marilynsummit1764 People don't get sick or unhealthy from butter, it's from cheap, highly processed plant oils along with massive amounts of refined carbohydrate intake. That's it. Basically sugar (refined carbs) and bad fats. Unprocessed meat and quality fats are key to proper growth and hormone levels through adolescence. Weston Price did great research on the matter, comparing tribal/primitive cultures to the industrialized West and the differences were astounding.
Amen brother.. at 57yrs i was 245 last January, my A1c 6.4, by Sept, 192lbs, A1c 5.0 and holding, 38" waist to a loose 34.. still dropping but slower.. all good.
All these people that say it's healthier to eat margarine than butter, don't know what they're talking about! I did an experiment and I put margarine on the bottom of the garage floor, and I put butter on the bottom of the garage floor, and videotaped it for 2 days straight, and not one insect went near the margarine, but they went towards the butter! That tells you everything you need to know about margarine...
I always did the best on the Atkins diet, but no one in the medical field would advise it. Now, I'm older, wiser, and I know the key to my health is with mostly meat, fish, eggs, cheese, yogurt, kefir, and I limit my vegetables to the leafy greens and I use low carb berries as a desert, with full cream whipped on top. I have never felt better in my life. Thanks for all your videos. I learn on each one!
I read Dr. Atkin's book in the early 1970's. I read Dr. John Yudkin's book, "Sweet and Dangerous," around the same time. They set me on the right path. I never followed the high carbohydrate low fat diet that was promoted in the 1980's and beyond. I'm 67 and fairly healthy. I will be forever grateful for those 2 books I read long ago.
I remember the Atkins diet as well, and his recommendations... And I also remember the general medical community basically wanted to "burn him at the stake" for his suggestions. He lived the diet HIMSELF, but everyone only screamed louder. Why is it being "okayed" now? The Keto thing was the first step back to this. I kept thinking, why don't they just get done and bring Atkins back? They're getting there.
@@valerier4308never heard about "sweet and dangerous" but I'll try to hunt it down now, thanks. I got the Atkins book myself somewhere around the same time, but it's been lost in my several moves since then! Can it still be found, I wonder?
I'm an 'Atkins girl' too - I went to The Atkins Center in NY City. He and his staff helped me tremendously and set me on the (long) road to recovering my health. I am forever grateful to them. ✨
My grandma used to say "I do like a nice bit of fat!" She didn't really exercise other than housework, shopping and walking upstairs to her 3rd floor flat, but she did eat carbs from bread, potatoes and once a week she baked cakes or pastries to share. She lived independently until she passed age 93.
I love the way the you're always experimenting - on yourself 😄. I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. You do a great job explaining how to live healthy and most importantly what healthy really is.
I have eaten lots of butter at least since my 20's, I am 70 now. Also, I have always been slender and people would ask me why and I always said that people needed to eat more butter, jokingly because what we always knew then was that animal fat was not good but it wasn't true for me. So Thank you for all the information you share with us.
Do you know if a person can still eat butter even after a heart attack I have been eating it for 6 years since I had one, and feel better eating these fatty things but letting sweets and most breads go. My Doctor tells me I am going to die because I don't take their Meds. I am still here and I'm not taken their venom . I guess what I'm trying to ask is if there is any difference between a person who has had a heart attack and someone who hasn't in what to eat. Also, do you eat bread of any kind? If so what kind?
Я самого раннего детства обожаю есть сливочное масло.Готовила мама и бабушка на топлёном сливочном масле. Мне сейчас 70 лет, стро йная и практически не болею. Стараюсь покупать у деревенских молочниц.
There's an old story about Pappy Boyington (Black Sheep Squadron) when he was a POW. Supposedly he worked in the camp's kitchen and pilfered and subsisted on lard. When the camp was liberated he was normal body weight and was found to be in perfect health by all metrics.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for finally explaining cholesterol and blood fats in way I actually understand. I am a visual learner and all the numbers on my bloodwork never meant more to me than just that... numbers! I can now visualize the use of fat for energy, and why carbs are a quick fix but a long term problem. I can ignore numbers, but I cannot ignore physiology. You are a great teacher!
I eat about 200 grams of butter a day. I eat butter like it's a chocolate bar. Guys at my work think I'm crazy but they can't really say anything bad because they are all fat and I'm a shredded muscular guy. My nickname is "butterz". Eating a high fat, very low carb, carnivore diet is the best feeling in the world for me. Everyone around me just can't believe the diet I eat and the shape I'm in. They expect me to be fat. I try and tell them that everything they have been taught about nutrition and fat consumption is a lie but 99% of people just don't listen and wanna keep eating their corporate garbage food
I would rather eat a cube of butter than chocolate 😀 ....so glad that I have now found others who feel the same way. Love butter on my vegies and steak ❣
My dad used to eat butter like it was cheese. He would get the butter, crackers and a knife and cut squares and put them on the cracker. He could eat a whole stick in one sitting. He was thin, healthy and never had high cholesterol or anything "they" would say he was causing. He also had great skin - people would take him for someone 20 years younger all the time. I'm not sure it was the butter, but it certainly didn't hurt.
I have been eating keto/ketovore for 18 months, and high fat carnivore for the past month. My recent blood work showed: A1C 5.3; Triglycerides 55; HDL 110; VLDL 5; and AST and ALT 20. I believe that I am a “lean-mass hyper-responder”, as defined by Dave Feldman. I am lean and fit, eat zero processed foods, drink zero alcohol, never smoked, and do resistance training and sprint intervals 2x/week. I work an active job. But all my doctor focused on was my LDL (277). Personally, I think I am probably healthier and lower risk than 99% of her patients (and her, for that matter). She told me to eat low-fat/low cholesterol diet. I have no plans to do that, but I have added in garlic, a little bit of arugula/avocado/sauerkraut, and if my skin can tolerate them, I will keep them. But I believe that I am eating a proper human diet, even though my doctor doesn’t agree. I need to find a doctor who will look at ALL of my blood markers instead of being hyper focused on just LDL!!
I had the same problem. I cut down on carbs, began eating more fats. Felt great. I'm quite fit and always have been. But cutting the carbs finally made me feel better than I was. All my blood work markers improved, except my LDL. It went up. So she immediately prescribed statin drugs for me. I got scared and started taking them. Felt like I was hit by a truck. Couldn't get out of bed, my muscles ached everywhere, and I couldn't sleep. My mind felt like there was something very wrong. I stopped the statins and have never felt better. Doctors have no idea. All they know is what they were taught in med school, which is based on "science" from 70 years ago.
I had similar numbers to yours my doctor didn't ask me any questions about my diet or family history he went right to statin I lol said no way I want a CAC test had that done by a cardiologist score was zero no calcium build up at all cardiologist said he wouldn't recommend a statin for me at that time told me to continue on with my happy life and diet which is mostly carnivore low carb
@@Jake-zc3fkno it’s all about the bank account, and a regular customer means bigger bank account. They got given a book every few months with new drug lines certain drugs have perks, to encourage doctors to try them out on the patients. And of course patients are oh so a obliging. Don’t trust the doctors, I do my part and God does the rest. God is my healer
Commercial vegetable oil has never been 'vegetable oil'. I use either lard, butter, olive oil or avocado oil, depending on what and how I am cooking. My cholesterol is spot on for 49yo despite being overweight - I'm working on it, successfully 😁.
This is a fantastic video, Dr. Ekberg. I’ve lost 150lbs over the last 4 years by going Healthy Keto. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs and I’m 62 years old.
I eat about a stick of butter a day...mostly carnivore for a year. I have lost 71lbs, reversed t2d, off all meds. My triglycerides down from 1386 last year to 110. Still have a ways to go with those but every 3 months that number is lower and lower. Age 63 and healthier than I've been in last 25 yrs. No cravings and always satiated.
You will have to add things like sweet potatoes and fruits later, when ppl do extreeme diet they have an euphoric phase where the body return to balance from all the processed carbs and sugar they used to consume, but after a while that phase will come to an end when the body needs healthy carbs and natural sugars like honey and fruits, but of course it will be denied of such food duo to a dogma of being a healthy "carnivore" or strict keto, prevlant thing in this nutrtion community, its treated as religion and its not actually a religion.
Julia Child (the French Chef...) said in an interview that she ate about 2 stick of butter a day due to her rich recipes. She just loved the taste. She was still working daily and was still on TV at the age of 89 and she looked great for her age. I think her last TV show before she retired and moved to CA was right after her 89th birthday. She died at 92. The whole "butter is bad" is a load of crap.
The problem with dairy products are the antibiotics and drugs that are used today on dairy farms. Before, there weren't so many chemicals in milk, which is why allergies with dairy products are always attributed to others. Of course, the main poison is refined vegetable oils and processed foods, everything that is not natural and takes chemical processes ends up harming health.
In AZ the Sprouts markets sell raw milk. Half a gallon runs almost $8.00 per half gallon. But those of us who were raised on raw milk keep them nearly sold out. It's from a dairy that is probably a 30 minute from me. Calling next week to see if they have on onsite store with additional raw milk products. If not I'll just use their raw product to make it myself.
All dairy milk pick-up are tested for the presence of antibiotics. Every dairy processor has a very low limit (often about 3) of violations permitted before a dairy is rejected for pick-up. In many geographic areas there are one or maybe two processors. If you can't get your milk picked up, you're out of business. That's an extremely strong incentive to keep recovered cows out of the milking string and to have well-trained employees.
Every cow on antibiotics are required to be segregated from the rest. If they (antibiotics ) are present during testing, the entire milk tank has to be destroyed. That is quite expensive. My family had a dairy and my partner did testing for dairies.
The fact that the first thing that the doctor asks you is how old you are, and then they check the table in their head and say for example - it is perfectly normal for you to have high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and other chronic symptoms because you are this old, take these expensive drugs to control the symptoms, is the worst scam ever...
Makes you wonder if the drug companies have undue influence on recommended practices and physician licensing boards. It seems as if there was an exploitive structure existent before covid and they just couldn't resist putting everybody though the ringer.
@@johngalt97 Some of it is based on the drug companies and some on the backward logic of medical science. I take a group of thousand sixty year old patients, analyze their blood, find that majority of them have certain symptoms, and from that they make backward protocols to the whole of the population.
When my mother-in-law was in the hospital they fed her through a tube. They also had to keep giving her insulin because of what they fed her. I was blown away because I figured they'd be able to give the perfect food through a tube because they don't have to focus on taste. Life saving medicine is wonderful, but doctors are completely clueless when it comes to living healthy.
The range that is used in blood test results are not scientifically deduced. They are simply an average of a number of people's results which is why the range can change over time. As more people get worse results the range will change according to that. So basically the range is not what is "best" it is just an average.
I've been on low carb for 6 months. I haven't felt this good in a long time. Amazing how I no longer crave food all the time and have steady energy levels. I have been dropping weight at a steady pace. I have also noticed how much less joint pain I have since getting off sugar and carbs.
I've experimented with the opposite. I dropped the fat nice and low and didn't give a monkeys how much sugar I ate. I didn't eat like I was trying to win a bet but didn't stop when still hungry to hit a target amount of calories. (I'm not sure about protein and also alcohol, whether it acts like a fat - eating lots but still hungry - or like a carbohydrate - full on less calories, I would be on the safe side and keep alcohol low or none) Logic was carb calories were filling and fat calories were not. I don't think I've ever been low carb though on a continuous basis, other than exercising away my carb stores and feeling a bit weak and jelly legged. Negative is have to drop fat REALLY low (under 10g a day) to lose any weight and it's slow. Positive is good mood and lots of energy. I have found that any food that is high in fat I have to stop eating when I'm still hungry or else I will gain weight. Sugar is more filling than I thought it would be. I feared I could eat endless quantities of it and rack up easy calories.
@D Macarthur how low is your fat intake? It's easy to accidentally go too high with even a packet or 2 of crisps. I've made this mistake and stayed the same weight. 20 or 10g fat a day is ideal but it is easy to exceed 50, 60, 70g of eating at a friend's house with unknown oil content. I haven't gained but lucky to shift a pound every couple of months. It is like the body only wants to pick and nibble at small quantities of body fat and eat 95 percent carbohydrate. I haven't tried keto though have heard of negative side effects and fat doesn't fill me up at sensible calorie numbers. I have heard that carbohydrate fasting has an appetite suppressant effect but at what price I'm not sure. Sugar can have a lot of calories but they are usually balanced by the extended duration before hunger strikes again. Fat has even more calories but hunger strikes quickly so I would have to consciously ignore it and keep track of calories. It's like feeding a cat a bowl of dreamies. They will eventually overcalorie due to the high fat content and turn into garfield if left to their own devices. If you can ration them out and at calorie neutral they will be mewing at you for more (note I am not familiar with the carnivorous physiology so am unsure how carbohydrate relates to cat satiation and function, their regular food tends to be self limiting and the cat simply loses interest in food before a calorie surplus occurs). Also perhaps some people convert sugar and starch to fat more than others, and whether certain hormones in dairy influence this even if the milk or yogurt is skimmed. Weight gain for me is the usual unrestricted fatty carbohydrate foods. If there is one thing bad about sugar or artificial sweetener is it opens up another range of high calorie foods, and now with pizza you are enjoying scones with clotted cream and jam; cakes and doughnuts and ice cream. I have found fat calories the easiest to remove and the body doesn't try to trick me into eating more and moving less, whereas if I cut out sugar, or starch I just hunger for bigger portions. Stuffing my stomach with celery doesn't satiate if I'm after glucose. Eating fat to me feels like that unsatisfying celery but somehow it is high in calories.
@@TimpBizkit on Keto fat is majority of calorie intake. I am rarely hungry and usually eat only one big meal a day. I avoid any carbs, especially sugar.
Thanks. Love your explanations. Been on carnivore now 2.5 years and still learning and deepening my knowledge. Thankgod there's Drs like you who describe things properly and explain things!
Dr Sten Ekberg is pure honest revealing the truth about health with reservations and how human body works to fathom to what needs to eat to stay healthy and live longer and avoid foods not healthy more power to you, Dr Sten Ekberg you’re truly a gift from god almighty ❤
My mom told that her aunt used to drink Ghee( derived from pure butter) and she was slim and active throughout her life , it's called Desi Ghee in India and Pakistan
Thank you for putting your body to the test so we can benefit from lessons learned. I started doing Keto 1 year ago then went to modified carnivore diet with no fruit and limited vegetables and only Ezekiel bread. I feel so much better and my weight is down to around 175lb at 5'11. Seems kind of light for my height but I had quite a bit of visceral fat that needed to go, and still do. Thanks for everything you do! It is much appreciated.
I shifted back to butter and lard for cooking about 6 years ago. Recently I had some testing where they examined my heart arteries. I am 68 years old and they found no blockages or significant build up in any of my arteries.
@@eara8426 People with high LDL cholesterol live longer. Statins increase your chances of getting Alzheimer's. Seed oils will destroy your health which is true and so many lies they have told us like we should eat lots of carbs in their food pyramid. The dietary advice put out by the government has created an obesity epidemic and created several generations of sick, weak, chronically ill people which is just what big pharma wants.
@@eara8426 Statins are of no value at all because cholesterol is not an issue. In fact studies show that people who have high LDL cholesterol live longer. Statins can also contribute to the development of Alzheimer's Disease which has become an epidemic since doctors have been pushing statins which are a cash cow for the pharmaceutical industry. If your doctor is pushing statins then it is time to find another doctor.
Been following your advice ever since finding your channel and you've saved my life. I was on my way out, but have become lean and muscular at 62 and am no longer pre diabetic. Still working on my neuropathy, which is almost gone! No more blow torch on my feet, no more swelling lower legs and feet, but I still can not feel the ground beneath my feet until I step on anything the size of a grain of salt and up. Instant pain. Have to touch a stationary object when walking in the dark, so I know if I'm standing up or falling over. Have to touch the wall in my shower when my eyes are shut, so I don't fall. Driving's fun when I can't feel the accelerator or brake pedals lol. Anyway, I'm energetic and looking forward to a long life. Thank you Sten.
I am the same age with similar problems. But with the diet changes i am improving. Plus some vitamins helped a lot. Although i had to take more vitamins than the recommendations on the bottle.
I am 76 and often had attacks of pancreatitis, even being hospitalized once. In 1995 I decided to look for means of prevention. Being a bio-medical engineer since 1975, I did some research, then did some experiments. I found 3 tablespoons of olive oil both stopped the pain of an attack in 5 minutes, and daily prevented them. My son, also prone to this problem, also had the same results with olive oil. This has worked since then, for both of us, except for lapses of a few days which resulted in an attack, until stopped by olive oil. Seems the advise actually causes the problem!
I forgot to add that only pure olive oil works. I have tried many, only to find that perhaps 60% or more of "olive oils" in the US are fake or diluted olive oils which have no effect or make the pain worse. So beware. I learned the hard way, to my surprise.
41 now, got a sixpack by eating tons of butter since i started keto 2 years ago. Never thought I could get abs at this age with minimal exercise. I used to play hockey for my country, super intense workout schedule but never had any abs back then.
Finally an explanation for my low Triglyceride and high LDL readings. I wasn't expecting to get an answer when I clicked on this video, but woohoo! My medical results have been troubling me for some time as my doctor made a pretty big fuss about my LDL levels and now I know I was worrying for nothing for 11 months. During this time, despite asking a few professionals, no one could tell me why or suggest a diet to balance these 2 metrics. This is a wake-up call that we have to interpret data as a whole and not just dwell on siloed metrics.
This is one among the best videos you produced so far. As a matter of fact it is not so easy to say wich is better but this is amazing. My gratitude for all your work Dr. Sten Ekberg.
Yes Dr Eckberg, your brilliant explanations are saving lives for those who will listen. If only our doctors got teaching like this instead of the Pharma based education they are brainwashed on. Thank you for all your help.
In 1957 I went til Bristol as a med student to be on a dissection course, I absolutes hated, because off the stench and poison, the bodies were soaked in and by the way round-up holds some poison as well One night I went to the cinema theatre and Lo & behold , the adds before the movie had an add for a book called ‘Eat fat & grow slim.’ Everybody exempt me were laughing their lungs out. But you can see how the general group of people are spanked to submission by parents and tyrannical authorities, they go to war on command for their tyrannical authorities , because they don’t think, they obey. They are part of the shut up / listen/obey = team flock sheep and their submission could be fatal. Ask Putin’s soldiers how they like it! No surprise that wars constantly repeat themselves
@@adelarsen9776 Fiber is needed for gut health and helps control hunger throughout the day instead of eating something with less fiber that won't keep us feeling full for as long.
@@julianaherrera308 fiber does not in any way shape or form satiate. It might make you feel stuffed and bloated for a short time. But the hunger feeling is controlled by hormones, and fiber does not trigger any change. Fiber is completely useless to the human body.
I have refractory epilepsy. I used to have multiple seizure clusters each day. Medications didn't help. I decided to try the high-fat ketogenic diet. I have been eating ~4 Tbsp of butter each day, 3+ eggs a day, and lots of fat for the last 5 years. I eat on average between 180-200g fat every single day and try to keep my carbohydrate intake below 15g. My neuro keeps an eye on my blood and my numbers have never been a concern. I even had a cardiologist tell me he wishes he had my numbers. Now, I go 2 weeks in between a seizure on average. I do *not* like the diet per se lol but it has essentially saved my life. I agree with everything in this video from my own firsthand experience.
I often eat 2 spoons of ghee and feel full from 7 am to 3 pm. Only cup of cappucino with half and half. I feel perfect, a lot of energy, not hungry, not sleepy. Very stable mood.
I had my doctor test my blood because I was doing keto. My Triglycerides came back 44! You’re right 🎉 it’s not the fats or saturated fats , it’s what they’re paired with.
Try Ghee! Vedas say, "ghrte vardhate buddhi:", meaning, ghee improves your intellect, because ghee is very close to human brain fats, so consuming ghee in diet keeps your brain healthy.
@kalpanabhat3513 everyone knows what ghee is. Let's start using the real names. We insist on pronouncing pizza correctly but feel pressurized to call bajji as fritters and dosa as crepe. Indians need to decolonize
A masterful video filled with so much important and vital information. Stating that the standard model should be challenged "a little bit" is being very kind to organizations like the AHA and others, whose recommendations make no sense and are totally out of whack. Really, accepted good foods like avocado's and EV olive oil contain 10-15% saturated fat, so how can the AMA come up with 5%??
Hi there! I stumbled into this video and I was amazed. I have excelled (put everything down on an excel sheet) my blood works from 1992 till OCT22 and excelled my weight during 2021 2022. During the pandemic (2020) I ate tons of bacon and literally lost weight. But as soon as we were allowed out and about, went back to the good carby foods. My cholesterol went way up to 300+. So instinctively I began a no crappy carbs diet and long fastings with my only one meal a day (4 eggs with broccoli, onions, garlic, peppers, and cheese) and 2022 will show I have lost weight and maintained it. I still eat chocolates but I have proven to my ALL PILLS doctor, that I can lower cholesterol with no statins. By the way, my triglicerols are very low despite still having wild cholesterol. LOVED your video.
What has surprised me with following Dr. Sten's advice to us all is that the skin cancer on my nose has almost disappeared. I knew cancer loves sugar but not this much. I'm deferring surgical excision because this would be Surgery Number Eleven and I'm more tired of the routine with every go-round for one or another of these dots. Maybe now things are stabilizing.
Dr Sten, you are such an amazing person! You speak and explain things so eloquently and clearly so anyone can understand. As an extended example of this experiment, I transitioned from keto to carnivore over 2 years ago. Since going 100% carnivore 2 years ago I have added at least 1 stick of butter and usually 2 sticks a day to my diet and feel so excellent with all blood markers consistently excellent I went from about 400lbs to 215 and feel like I am 30 instead of my age now which is 57. God bless you for helping to get out this important message to improve metabolic health!!
They will not teach you about 2 forms of LDL. LDL-A (large good particles) and LDL-B (small bad particles). Big Pharma sells more pills if a high LDL is always bad in all cases. Just a heads up.
@@Zgmflegend Yes, this is true. I'm not a student though. I'm part of a Keto Clinical Study through the Lundquist Institute. It is research into atherosclerosis. Some are known as lean mass hyper responders and I'm anxious for the conclusions. I'm a healthy person on a low carb lifestyle.
My husband and I love your videos. We’re so grateful you take the time to teach the truth about the proper human diet. We both lost 25 pounds and now have motivation to exercise in our retirement years. Sleep is better and we don’t get hardly ever any colds are bloodwork has all normalized and, my blood sugar was 125 fasting and it’s down to 90. My doctor was considering that I might eventually need insulin pretty soon by fasting insulin went down too Keep making these wonderful videos 😊
Dr. Sten can you make video about milk please? full fat, semi, fat free, soya milk, almond milk and others which have shelf life 1y+ and never go bad. Much appreciated for your time and hard work teaching us healthier lifestyle! Merry Christmas to you and other viewers! 🎄
Thank you for your video, I have been on keto diet (under 50g of carbs/day) and my levels of everything got normalized or improved. Before that I was so sick with metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, cardiac illness, cholesterol and triglycerides out of the roof, inflammation, and autoimmune reactions. After two years on keto I was feeling great, I even quite coffee. For the sake of experimentation I made a 6 months break, where I started eating grains, bread, pasta, sweets, potatoes, and basically a “normal” American diet. After 6 months, my weight went up so fast, I had a very serious case of inflammation on my knees, and skin autoimmune rush, I was feeling very tired and my blood pressure went out of the roof again. I am back on keto, and I will never get back to eating carbs. It is so bad that I don’t understand why the medical and pharmaceutical communities didn’t point it out as the root of the main medical issues already. Well I know why lol
This explanation just intuitively makes so much sense. I've struggled with high triglycerides, high LDL and borderline low HDL my whole life. My diet has always been high carbs and low saturated fats since the Dr's told me to reduce my fat intake. Result? Narrowing in my Left Anterior Descending coronary artery which had to be stented 6 years ago. That's despite being physically active and taking statins and other cholesterol lowering drugs most of my adult life. Recently I've increased my protein intake which has naturally reduced the amount of carbs I eat. After watching this video, I'm eager to try increasing my fat intake so I can reduce my carb intake even more to see what effect it has on my bloods. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for an eye opening video. You've just gained another subscriber.
Thank You @marielltomasovich7898 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Great video! I am 73. I have been doing moderate exercise, including some weight lifting. I eat butter and other saturated fats. Last time I had my blood checked, my triglycerides were down, though the LDL was a little high. I haven't been eating as many carbs. I was very pleased.
I just had my blood tested by a health screening worker. My LDL was 196. I told her if my LDL was 220 I wouldn't be worried. She asked why not? I explained about large and small LDL and she stared at me with glazed eyes and blank face like she had no idea what I was talking about.
Fantastic video! Everybody should learn this in such an ease way as it was explained here. So overall this tells me that the major thing we want to do is to keep our metabolism healthy and just eat a healthy composition of food. And i believe natural foods are always better than heavily processed ones. Don't change from butter to margarine.
Thanks, Dr E. I now have something to convince the skeptics in my family about the flaw in our prevalent dietary guidelines concerning restricting fats in eating. The thorough introduction to lipoproteins' relationship to cholesterols should clear up the usual confusion that other presenters fail to explain away in brief videos like this (overly long ones tend to get muddled by too many technical terms that would just overload the general viewers).
I cannot thank you enough for the valuable, life-saving knowledge that you share with us, Dr. Sten. You are helping people save their own lives. To what higher deed can a person aspire?
This has been known for centuries, but was „forgotten“. The germans knew a lot about hormones and carbs, but that science was discarded after the war and replaced with american pseudo science, funded by lobby groups and industry
I've only recently (about a year) eased into low-carb and eating a more healthy, nearly all non-processed or lightly-processed foods, and I must say I have been impressed. Not just by the results on the bloodwork, but also by the results in the mirror, how my clothes fit, my weight, and overall wellness and ability to do hours of hard yardwork and not be sore for days afterward and not needing nsaids for those several days. Aside from chocolate, I really don't miss any of the processed, carb-laden crap I was eating before, either. I was very skeptical when I started, thinking eating avocado and other high-fat items every day would make me fat, but it has done just the opposite. Big thanks to Doctors like Dr. Ekberg, who are willing to tell the truth and explain why these things work. We've been lied to for decades by mainstream doctors who are beholden to big pharma rather than looking out for the well-being of their patients. Glad some doctors are finally speaking out, and being heard! 😻
This is one of the best illustrative, video explanation of how it works-- fat, carbs, glucose, blood sugar, insulin, Insulin Resistance Triglyceride, LDL, HDL (and VLDL)Cholesterol. the "Standard Model" versus what really happens...great quote from Mark Twain btw. THank you very much Doc
How could most MDs not have this understanding & application that makes so much sense. This video of yours deserves to be watched by every alive human being whether healthy or not. Please keep up. With much appreciation to you for a job so well done.
Because most MDs don’t read outside their indoctrinated books. We’ve been lied to about what kinds of foods are good and bad. We are told canola oil is good for your heart, while butter clogs your veins. But we aren’t told how canola oil goes through a toxic chemical refining process and how it was originally made for machine parts. Funny how they were letting us go to McDonald’s during the mandates but not to the gym.
@@JesusIsGoodTruth It does not take much to break from what is common and accepted by majority. I am a retired RN and I always wondered as a child on how is it that people who seemed to eat the best foods get the worst illness? How a person who eats only at the point of starvation could have better immunity than those who eat on a regular basis. How people who understand the least in anatomy and physiology seem to tolerate high stress? Those who wake with the sun and sleep at nightfall have better immunity? Just what Mark Twain said, quoted in this video, it is sad to believe something as truth when it is not.
Been on keto for almost 3 weeks. I have back issues which limit mobility and must yse a walker to move around. Dropped 19 lbs. My blood sugar in the 90s or lower lat two weeks. Need to lose weight for back surgery but I also want to get off metformin and other drugs. It will happen. Keep up the great videos!
R u doing well, brother? I’ve been eating 6-8T butter daily for close to a month and it’s changed my LIFE. My outlook, mood. My caring about food. My hunger (gone). My pain. Diff body issues. My fat is actually leaving. My belly is actually shrinking. My spine pain radiating down my shoulder into my tricep (almost gone!). I will never go back. Label me at risk the rest of my very long life 😉 Let me know how ur doing!
I lowered my mom’s cholesterol to perfect by feeding her uncured bacon, pasture raised eggs, home fried potatoes and avocado for breakfast every day, meat potatoes and vegetables for lunch and dinner, all the butter she wanted (grass fed organic). Got her off the soda and switched her to green tea with raw honey.
Really nice and understandable break down doctor. Around 1980 I read a study that showed how people in South England had much healthier hearts than North England and the only major difference in diet was was the North used margin and the South it all about the butter.
I just found you with this video that came up in my feed. I am so impressed. I’m 74 and been vegan since 1968. My cholesterol until 10 years ago was too low I was told. Now it’s too high. My diet is not different no dairy, no carb, no sugar. But my family genetics in old age brings cholesterol up. I’ll have to figure this out maybe through you videos. Also my family has a good diet. Everyone. But something is wrong with insulin etc. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I knew what your results would be before watching the video, but I wanted to see your explanation, and I always love to experience vindication against recommendations for low-fat diets. Outstanding content, Dr Ekberg. Thanks for keeping it real.
@@richardreinertson1335 Why do you think he doesn't show his full results? Because his LDL is obviously of the charts and he thinks it's ok to have high LDL like he makes clear in his video: "Your Doctor Is Wrong About Cholesterol".

@@richardreinertson1335 I think this one is appropriate also, because he is trying to promote the false idea that butter doesn't negatively affect blood lipids and offers as evidence 1) A short term test that isn't even long enough to show the real change 2) Fails to disclose his actaul full results obviusly because he doesn't want people to see his high cholesterol. He isn't a doc as in MD, his education has 0 to do with what he is talking about.
I agree with the information your providing. As I work closer to my PhD in function medicine I find myself rubbing against the grain of so many doctors who quite frankly never went to school to learn how to cure people at the cellular level and still at best continue to apply metaphoric bandaids on underlying problems. Thank you for your continued studies and like you I get great amusement in making myself a lab rat in self studies. I look forward to your blood courses because knowing ones base line is critical. Thanks again.
At first I thought that you sacrifice yourself for knowledge but then I recognized that Ekberg tried to say that we are misguided and actually we are sacrifing with wrong food habits. Bravo Ekberg, you save peoples lives!!
Well the information we get, mostly comes from the media, who have been paid to misinform. The one that really bothers me is the war on salt, people are taking it to extremes and it's doing more harm than good.
I remember my mother had gallstones and had to have her gallbladder removed before the age of 40. Her doctor told her to eat butter, not margarine. She lived to 97 with healthy arteries. Unfortunately, she had COPD, which ultimately did her in.
That one sentence Re: Carbs are preferred because they must be used up first, (because they are poison) and if you are only using up carbs, you never get to the fat is So important and obviously, it seems like no one listens beyond "Carbs are the preferred food." (WOW!)
@@zaid6164 They don't work on poison but they do the best they can with what they are given. That's why we get sick. Lungs don't do well at filtering toxins but they continue to filter even for smokers. Then the issues show up later after years of filtering toxins. The same thing happens to cells that are working off of poison instead of a steady stream of the good stuff.
I went on the low carb diet for a year, one month on followed by one month maintaining my weight. When I did this there were no low carb options like there is now. I ate 3 large pieces of meat, 6+ eggs and a pile of cheese every day. I pan fried the meat and eggs most times. In the end my triglycerides, cholesterol and blood sugar all went down.
Great video. His model is correct because starting carnivore both my triglycerides and HDL and LDL sky rocketed. I have major major major inflammation going on. Which means my body is repairing and balancing what it needs first. I am lowering my insulin dramatically and for the first time in over a year feel the inflammation going down and the fat coming off. I still eat carbs. I am not 100 % carnivore. I will be starting January 2, 2025 with fermented veggies. I have been eating so much butter. April will be my yearly appts. I cannot wait to see what improvements I have made. I will save this video and comeback to update. I think I will have a true testimony! Thanks Doc!

This "family doctor" got his two young children vaxxed and keeps them right up to date on MRNA boosters. My good friend over heard him telling the other doctor at the clinic that any parent who doesn't get their kids triple boosted should be arrested and put in a camp, and have the kids taken from them by social services.
Anyway, my point is that these these doctors and their advice for health is almost always advice that will destroy your health.. listen to your gut and don't be fooled.

At 107 years of age my grandmother passed on. She lived on a farm most of her life, had Jersey cows, and live stock. We ate butter, made ghee, cooked with lard, and ate what was available.

Processed foods were a luxury and even in that time considered to be "not good for you".

But yes, I gave him $5 for what probably took him 25+ hours to produce. Hopefully he doesn't spend the entire windfall in one place.
The government and medical associations say stop eating fat to prevent heart disease, shouldn't it be stop eating refined foods and sugar (carbs)?
Yes. Lets remember, the Icelandic and such folks would eat blubber
It should but it will bankrupt the food industry and ruin the idea to make us stop eating meat. The truth is plants and chemicals in food make a lot of profits. Imagine everyone eating fresh meat and animal products(diary, eggs,etc) plus some vegetables and fruit during season. Imagine people could eat 1 or 2 times a day only a steak in the summer with some salad. How is it compared to selling people kilos of cheap to produce vegetables, chips, waffles, seed oils, etc every day? On carbs every 4 hours blood sugar drops and makes you feel hungry no matter how much you have eaten. Also instead of 20 products in supermarkets now the industry sells thousands. Lets also add the other big business- pharma. People buy tons of supplements to get what they would get from animal products. So, yes, they should but they never will.
@@martinjameskeys even saturated fats good in carnivore and keto. It's all a lie. Doctors get like 3 hours of nutrition studies while in school for 7 years.
@@martinjameskeys who is they? And thy r wrong. PURE saturated fat is not h harmful. Its carbs, seed boils and sugars that r harmful.
And don't eat anything cooked in or made with vegetable oils or any other so-called cooking oils. Stick with butter and beef tallows.
I know 5 bucks isn't much these days, but it's what I can spare. You have my gratitude, Dr Ekberg. And you are one of very few to whom I feel comfortable applying the word 'doctor' without reservation, for you truly are a teacher of great benefit to your fellow beings!
Thanks!
I went low carb just about 14 years ago. My husband had 3 strokes and we found out he was diabetic. I put him on the Adventist influence diet they gave me at the hospital. Every 3 weeks, he had bloodwork. Always worse, as was he. This went on for 8 months. It hit me that the so called healthy diet that had failed me for decades was failing him.
I read Good Calories, Bad Calories and watched The Oiling of America. Switched us both to the old 1950s British diet in the prologue.
His next bloodwork improved. Kept getting better. Several months later a stranger understood him. Still doing great.
I started at barely fitting a size 18. Lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks. I also craved butter. Lots of butter. And as I was losing weight I let myself eat all the butter I wanted. Over a pound a week easy.
Now when I was 42 an exray showed degenerative bone disease in my right foot. I was told by 57 I would be in a wheelchair. Nothing they could for it. I started the low carb diet and the butter cravings at 52. Before that I was starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day for decades.
Every step for years had been painful and I had a job where I would get 70 thousand steps a day. Pain was normal in my life.
About 4 months in my butter cravings finally slowed down. I was walking down the stairs and it suddenly hit me that my foot was not hurting. I found out years later that butter if full of things you need for healthy bones.
I am now 65 and I can hop on that foot. Butter heals.
My triglycerides were high on the starvation diet. My doctor gave me the warning.
Ever since my triglycerides have been extremely low , especially for someone my age, according to my doctor.
Butter (grass-fed) is great! It's rich in Vitamin K2 which is responsible for bone health 😊
Is this Ai generated comment?
@@MiriadCalibrumAstar Thank you for your silly troll comment.
Thank you for sharing your great story. And yet, modern day medical consensus still demonizes butter and saturated fats. That is so insane.
I heard a woman aged 105 talk about how she ignored the rubbish about low fat diets and she spent her entire life consuming eggs, butter, bacon and cream in her coffee. She didn't even know it but she was consuming a lot of healthy fat.
I feel the best when I eat eggs and bacon fried in lard for breakfast at about 2p.m. and drink water with cream or butter, salt from time to time and a lot of water.. I am full of energy all day long.
Robert, do you have a link or reference for the talk the 105 year old woman gave? I would like to listen to that!
Fake news!
@@jola9533 Hi there! Your info is fascinating. I've just stopped drinking coffee two weeks ago. I was having PVC's (Premature Ventricular Contractions). After I stopped, they went away. Anyways, I drank coffee with heavy cream and butter. Just wondering how you drink water with cream or butter. Is it cold water or lukewarm? I also eat eggs and bacon, lots of meat, salmon, sardines and nuts and berries. Very low carb. My blood work is great for a Type 2 diabetic. Thank you!
@@Artistram3d1 Look up “bulletproof water.” I saw a woman reference that in a video. She put butter, cream, and water in a blender. 🤷♀️
Sugar is the enemy, legacy fats aren't. The sugar industry had to hide the truth by blaming fat for obesity. Live and learn.
that and seed processed oils found in packaged foods! Eat real fat real meat and eggs!
fructose is a form of sugar... I hope you don't mean fructose. It is the best form of sugar you can possibly get naturally.
High blood sugar raises insulin which helps regulate it but insulin is also the hormone responsible for your body absorbing fat. If you keep your insulin levels low, you don’t have to worry much about the fat you eat.
And refined carbs
@@donegay-ub7nubody does not know diff and causes fatty liver. Snake bites are natural too. Nature has toxins as well.
I've been carnivore for a little over two years. I haven't had any blood work done for over a decade, so I can only go by how I feel. All I know is that going from the Standard American Diet to elimination pretty much all carbohydrates and seed oils has drastically changed my life for the better.
I have much more energy, no more brain fog, my mood is much better, I've lost weight, inflammation in my joints is gone, sleep better, no more problems with my GI tract - the list goes on and on.
I'm going to agree with all of this. Same thing for me.
Tried it for 2 weeks and while the first 3 days were a nightmare (stomach was blocked, insane cravings), but the rest of the 2 weeks were pure bliss. My face became structured and body was very lean, I got rid of my lower back pain (forever since actually), my stomach acid issues disappeared, and I had zero cravings.
I ate just because I was hungry.
I went back to chaos, and now I want to do it again, then ease into mostly carnivore with some wholemeal pastas every now and then, but not a bowl, just tiny like Italians.
@@LewChain So what exactly are you doing... Just eating meat???that's it?
@@One-Day-After-Another basically just meat like chicken, beef or fish, and then some eggs and certain cheeses on the side. It is not a crime to drop some tiny legumes here and there. I generally tend to eat this way anyway normally, except I cheat with potatoes/rice, however, very very minimal during summer, because more carnivore helps with excess sweat or fatigue. But during winter, I include more carbs because they keep me warm and I get energy faster. The swelling probably also keeps my joints warm haha
@@One-Day-After-Another also, if you're concerned about feeling hungry, you get used to it as it's only an illusion in the beginning. After a few days, your body reorganizes those receptors and you will know more accurately hunger from just wanting certain foods for the taste.
Tomorrow is 6 months of following this man’s advise. I’ve lost 90 lbs and went from 44 waist 4xl shirts to 36 waist xl shirts. Might want to listen to him. A1c was 12.4 now 4.
Congrats Sean! Wish my progress was that quick, but I stuck with it and in a year my A1C of 9.5 came down to 5.1
Love to get it in the 4's,!
great results!
That is fantastic!👍
@sean what diet did you follow, can you elaborate?
I weighted 220 pounds 7 months ago, now I weight 170 pounds.
I was overweight and I followed this man’s advice and I’m doing much better now. I do OMAD, Leigh’s weights and I ocasionally do 3 days water fast.
It’s unbelievable how much fat I have burned in such small span of time. I’m on my early 30s, btw.
I got my blood work done the other day. My triglycerides was 42! My Dr. Had to recheck it multiple times! I eat actual food. I think processed carbs taste gross, and I like not being obese. I used to be 320 lbs. I'm 170 now. This weight loss took a decade I'm not selling anything. Eat real food, exercise, sleep, drink water and work on your mental health.
“I like not being obese”-love this statement. Congrats on your journey!
WOOHOO!!! You go, Devin! I’m currently 300 lbs. at 5’ 10”. Committed 100% to the carnivore lifestyle yesterday. Looking to be at 210 by the end of this year. Stories like yours are super encouraging!!
I had my done a few weeks ago and it was 58, my doctor asked me if I was vegetarian......i replied that Im not vegetarian, that I eat meat as my mean food, he looked confused.
"Processed carbs taste gross".......so I guess for years and years you loved eating gross tasting foods.
@@thomasjensen6243 my problem was the rice and the engine oil that I used eat. I was never a cereal person or fast foods. Always love meat and fluor tortilla home made. I give up carbs and the engine oils for better oils like olive oil cold pressed, avocado, and my favorite pork oil. Im 190 lbs, work out daily after work. I do a lot activity at work, Im a Refrigeration Tech.
The fact that you took the time to do this to your body to educate me, I'm all ears and I thank you.
Did he measure his hormone levels? As butter has 14x the estrogen load of dairy, the more dairy fat you consume the more estrogen you get.
And even dairy milk can delay puberty on pre teens. And high intake of cheese lowers sperm count.
@@Nobody-Nowherewell then since “Nobody-Nowhere” says so it MUST be true 😂
@@Nobody-Nowhere When you take it out of context, as you have, it looks like you are consuming a lot of estrogen when consuming dairy. In reality the human body produces from 54,000 nanograms to 630,000 nanograms of estrogen per day and a glass of milk contains just 2.2 nanograms. So yes, dairy contains more estrogen than other foods, but it has almost no effect on your estrogen levels.
@@Nobody-Nowhere who knows. I gave up watching after 10 minutes when he still was babbling about other stuff. This guy is crazy
I don't trust the claim, no footage of him eating anything
I will never go back from butter (from grass fed cows - Kerry Gold Butter) to Magerine. All my previous back problems and chest pains (possibly heart related) have disappeared. And the quick recovery from short term illnesses is a bonus. I only buy on sale, so the difference with Magerine is very little to non-existent. Butter can easily be frozen at -20 degrees Celsius for 2 years - possibly longer.
I eat A LOT grass fed butter, the same brand as you plus an average of one cup of whipped cream daily ( I make it with stevia not cane sugar❤). I cut my cholesterol meds in half and now my lipid panels are all good. I am old and when I was in high school there may have been one or two obese individuals, we were all what is now considered thin BUT this was before high fructose corn syrup got added to all processed foods and diabetes became so common. I’m getting a fairly late start to fixing my diet but for the last couple years I have eliminated eating what is commonly eaten and my bone scans are good my arteries are clear and except for fibromyalgia pain have no physical complaints
Thanks for the butter tip regarding freezing. I have only bought KG butter for many years now and it is a joy to eat. VERY Small amount of carbs even less sugar AND at 80yrs old in 3 Weeks, I feel more like a teenager than a geriatric!
While living in Canada for a few years, 1970's, I noticed my husband's waistline beginning to noticeably expand as did mine. Had no idea why and I was pretty clued up on food groups and healthy eating, no amount of additional exercise or food intake reduction, helped. It was Pretty disheartening! Took Dr. Ekberg's informative site to realise the connection to the, then new, cooking oils, never looked back; The information regarding starches was useful too.
May I ask what the chest pains were like? Did they happen during breathing, were they primarily on the left sidr of the chest? Was it a sharp pain?
Did Kerry Gold clean up their packaging? I heard it had lead or arsenic or some other toxic metal in it???
@@gracekramer9077yes they did respond quickly
Your explanation that our body has to use glucose first instead of fat because too much glucose will be dangerous to the body makes sooo much sense! It is not the body 'prefers' glucose, but the body is trying to remove glucose from the blood... chronic excess of glucose is the root of all problems!
Rightly reiterated👍
Perfect understanding ! 👍👍
The root of all problems are not carbs (especially physiologically appropriate carbs like fruit, fruit juices, some roots, honey, maple syrup and even sucrose, i.e. glucose+fructose without antinutrients and too much fiber).
The problem is decades of PUFAs consumption which are not only toxic, estrogenic, carcinogenic, degenerative..., but also pro-diabetic. They are released to blood stream from fat tissue (where they are stored due to consumption) and block glucose entering to cell, while also damaging cells.
dont forget seed oils, Carnivore MD has a video on the history of Crisco, eye opening indeed. Thank God for people like Dr Ekberg and the others
@@MrSidReal The problem is gluten, antinutrients and PUFAs in certain carbs and fat sources. Not fructose+glucose.
I would recommend biologist/physiologist Dr. Ray Peat and his articles. It is humsn phydiology based on independent science (unlike many so called fumctional doctors and "alternative" people).
Crazy are LC and keto people who choose to run on body's short term survival mechanism and long term cancer and degenerative metabolism. They also eat too much PUFAs, cause they don't understand the fatal effect of omega-3 no matter in which sources they are present.

I always have to mention my grandparents who ate LOADS (I mean loads...) of butter, eggs, bacon, meat at every meal, and drank wine. Grandma used LARD (real animal lard, not Crisco!!) for everything - cakes, pie crusts, frying fish and chicken. They ate TONS of cheese and olives and saved all their bacon grease and used that to fry their ham & eggs and make french toast. They NEVER cut the skin or fat off their meat or poultry and loved eating the crispy skin of chicken or turkey. Neither of them ever did any exercise other than the daily gardening, house cleaning, or occasional walk around the block to see the neighbors. They were both very healthy and independent and lived into their 100's (grandma 106). My great-grandfather ate the same way and died at 99 slipping on icy steps taking out his garbage after an ice storm. - who knows how long he would have lived if he didn't have the accident. I don't believe ANYTHING the mainstream medical establishment tells me - as a matter of fact, if they tell me it's bad for me, I run right out and add it to my intake. If they tell me something is healthy, I avoid it like the plague.
Love this!
@@poodledaddles1091 Thanks!
I could never understand people who believed eggs were bad for you, that advise was a blatant lie. But they promoted eating crap like granola bars that are full of sugar.
@@janicep1508 and get off butter, cuz margarine is much better!
@@emerald9578 thank goodness my mom loved butter! We never ate margarine.
Love your videos and information. You really do a nice job with the backgrounds and illustrations, very professional.
I been on super low carb (Keto) since mid September 2022 (now April 2023). I have been religious.. no cheating at all, no cookies or sweets at Christmas... No bread, pasta, nothing. I feel good but only lost 10 lbs. (275 to 265). I am rarely in ketosis (blood test mostly .4 or .5, every now and then 1.5 when I take MCTs). What am I doing wrong? 59 years old, 6'1 265 now. A1c before Keto 6.3 havent tested after keto yet.
All I eat is pasture raised eggs, pecans, wild caught salmon, salads, EVOO, MCT, Stevia, grass fed butter + beef, salads, green leafy veggies, avocados, following the advise of all the low carb/keto suggestions. Needless to say the price of food has sky rocketed but I have been religious. No bread, no sugar, no fruits, no juices, no pasta, no sweets.... just quality real food. I don't understand why I am not seeing more results. I have tried 16/8 intermittent fasting with a eating window from 12 - 8. Then I switched to eating window from 10 - 6pm. MCT in the coffee, no processed foods. Never drink alcohol (59 never been drunk)
Sometimes I treat my self to a "desert" after dinner of almond or pecan butter (couple table spoons) or a shot of zero sugar whipped cream. My biggest "no no's" are diet tea daily, and once a week diet Pepsi with dinner. Could any of that be the issue? Obviously still too many calories, getting frustrated.
Thank you @fcalandra1234. Unfortunately, some people have really stubborn weight. One way to verify/monitor is to get some blood work. Stubborn weight people will usually have low glucose, A1c, and triglycerides, but high insulin. Some things to try would be longer fasting periods. Try to go 42-48 hours once a week or so. Also if possible try to use up some calories, i.e. exercise, but do it with long duration, low intensity exercise so you don't stress the body. Also I would lay off the diet drinks, and figure out how to make your own with Stevia and/or monk Fruit. Best of luck 😄
Wow! I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist and have been keto/ low carb for 2 years. My husband started keto/low carb 4 months ago after his A1c and fasting glucose entered the pre-diabetic range. After 4 months of eating this way, he returned to our doctor for bloodwork. His fasting blood sugar dropped 20 points to 81, A1c from 6.0 to 5.5, Triglycerides and liver enzymes to single digits and, even though his weight was never an issue, he dropped 20 pounds and 4 inches in his waist. On his Lipid studies, his HDL, total cholesterol and HDL all increased while his VLDL decreased. The nurse practitioner called to have him pick up a prescription for a statin. I told him that he would NOT be getting on a statin. We are both in our 70’s, no chronic illness, no medications. When he returns again in another 4 months, we’ll have a conversation with our doctor about WHY we made the decision to forego the statins. Your video was beautifully done and from my decades of laboratory experience I know you were spot on with your explanations. What I love the most is that you explained lipids in a way that anyone could understand. Thanks for a fantastic video.
It's very encouraging and heartwarming to hear from a scientist who actually follows and applies to science to their own lives
Agree, fantastic and clear explanation, makes such a difference to the choices you make around food and drink.
Yes, I dropped my doc like a hot potatoe, when he told me if I don‘t start a heavy dose of statins right away I‘d die very soon 😆 All from 1 bloodtest, which showed elevated cholesterol, but my triglycerides were very low and I had been doing Clean Keto for over 3 yrs, dropped 80lbs, felt great, no more joint inflamation after just 2 weeks of starting Keto. I just wanted to see how I was doing and get some blood-panels, since I hadn‘t had any done in over 20 yrs. Well long story short, still going strong on Keto, didn‘t kick the bucket yet and don‘t even need a doctor - going on my 6th year eating Clean Keto. The only negative thing is, when I eat any carbs like rice or pasta or grains of any kind (on a „cheat“ day) which I‘ve only done a couple of times, I have a severe GI reaction, cramps, constipation. I suppose my body prefers Keto, so I‘ll just be happy I‘ve found my perfect way of staying healthy 🤓
It's insane that they proscribe statins more than candy now. Medical consensus can be total insanity at times.
@@boink800 I also think they‘re counting on the uninformed, unsuspecting patient . . . that will indeed become increasingly ill from these toxic pharma products, therefore creating more income for these doctors. Thanks to honest doctors like Dr. Ekberg, we are informed 🙏
I weighted 220 pounds 7 months ago, now I weight 170 pounds.
I was overweight and I followed this man’s advice and I’m doing much better now. I do OMAD, lift weights and I ocasionally do 3 days water fast.
It’s unbelievable how much fat I have burned in such small span of time. I’m on my early 30s, btw.
Keep up tge good work. Then you won't be doing at 50 like me.
You're losing weight because you eat one meal a day. Eating this much butter for only 100 days is not the same as much as most people eat. They do this all their lives and drop dead of some horrible disease with clogged arteries. I've seen people eat pizza once a day and still lose weight. My brother are lots of butter and oils for years. First, he had a stroke. The second time he had a heart attack. He is still fat and sick and takes 10 different medications. Eating this way is horrible for his health, but he can't see that. I am an integrative nutritionist. I was taught every diet is not for everyone. People are individuals and our bodies, organs, and arteries don't run the same. I ate butter and. olive oil for years. I was also fat and sick. I like my brother had a stroke and was on so many meds. I started whole food plant based with no oil or butter. I lost 53 lbs, my cholesterol went to normal and so is my blood levels. I take no meds at 62 yrs. I used to be on a walker at 56. It sits on my patio collecting dust. I'm still losing weight and very healthy. This way of eating may not work for everyone though. We all have to find our way of eating what's best for our individual needs. Good, you found yours.
@@marilynsummit1764
People don't get sick or unhealthy from butter, it's from cheap, highly processed plant oils along with massive amounts of refined carbohydrate intake. That's it. Basically sugar (refined carbs) and bad fats. Unprocessed meat and quality fats are key to proper growth and hormone levels through adolescence. Weston Price did great research on the matter, comparing tribal/primitive cultures to the industrialized West and the differences were astounding.
Amen brother.. at 57yrs i was 245 last January, my A1c 6.4, by Sept, 192lbs, A1c 5.0 and holding, 38" waist to a loose 34.. still dropping but slower.. all good.
What are Leigh's weights? Thanks!
All these people that say it's healthier to eat margarine than butter, don't know what they're talking about! I did an experiment and I put margarine on the bottom of the garage floor, and I put butter on the bottom of the garage floor, and videotaped it for 2 days straight, and not one insect went near the margarine, but they went towards the butter! That tells you everything you need to know about margarine...
Don’t believe you where surprised by this
I've called margarine " plastic fat" for decades now. Same with Crisco.
I always did the best on the Atkins diet, but no one in the medical field would advise it. Now, I'm older, wiser, and I know the key to my health is with mostly meat, fish, eggs, cheese, yogurt, kefir, and I limit my vegetables to the leafy greens and I use low carb berries as a desert, with full cream whipped on top. I have never felt better in my life. Thanks for all your videos. I learn on each one!
I read Dr. Atkin's book in the early 1970's. I read Dr. John Yudkin's book, "Sweet and Dangerous," around the same time. They set me on the right path. I never followed the high carbohydrate low fat diet that was promoted in the 1980's and beyond. I'm 67 and fairly healthy. I will be forever grateful for those 2 books I read long ago.
I remember the Atkins diet as well, and his recommendations... And I also remember the general medical community basically wanted to "burn him at the stake" for his suggestions. He lived the diet HIMSELF, but everyone only screamed louder. Why is it being "okayed" now? The Keto thing was the first step back to this. I kept thinking, why don't they just get done and bring Atkins back? They're getting there.
@@valerier4308never heard about "sweet and dangerous" but I'll try to hunt it down now, thanks. I got the Atkins book myself somewhere around the same time, but it's been lost in my several moves since then! Can it still be found, I wonder?
I'm an 'Atkins girl' too - I went to The Atkins Center in NY City. He and his staff helped me tremendously and set me on the (long) road to recovering my health. I am forever grateful to them. ✨
My grandma used to say "I do like a nice bit of fat!" She didn't really exercise other than housework, shopping and walking upstairs to her 3rd floor flat, but she did eat carbs from bread, potatoes and once a week she baked cakes or pastries to share. She lived independently until she passed age 93.
ahhh my gran the same
my nan the same at 93. God bless our grandma's
Walking 3rd floor every day is exercise ❤❤
Fat is your bodies primary energy source, carbs and sugars are emergency, so why run off of the emergency stock when the primary is available.
If you don't know housework is work... 😑
I love the way the you're always experimenting - on yourself 😄. I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. You do a great job explaining how to live healthy and most importantly what healthy really is.
I agree. When people put into practice what they preach and provide results of that, their integrity increases manifold.
Yes, and doing it in a safe maner.♥️♥️
I have eaten lots of butter at least since my 20's, I am 70 now. Also, I have always been slender and people would ask me why and I always said that people needed to eat more butter, jokingly because what we always knew then was that animal fat was not good but it wasn't true for me. So Thank you for all the information you share with us.
Butter is trash for you, you probably have high LDL.
Do you know if a person can still eat butter even after a heart attack
I have been eating it for 6 years since I had one,
and feel better eating these fatty things but letting sweets and most breads go.
My Doctor tells me I am going to die because I don't take their Meds.
I am still here and I'm not taken their venom
. I guess what I'm trying to ask
is if there is any difference between a person who has had a heart attack and someone who hasn't in what to eat.
Also, do you eat bread of any kind?
If so what kind?
@@Anonymous-jx8zy Get a calcium test score to see if you have any blockage. That will determine if eating butter is causing the problem.
How much do you eat a day roughly?

There's an old story about Pappy Boyington (Black Sheep Squadron) when he was a POW. Supposedly he worked in the camp's kitchen and pilfered and subsisted on lard. When the camp was liberated he was normal body weight and was found to be in perfect health by all metrics.
Haha that's hilarious
I loved the show way back when too
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for finally explaining cholesterol and blood fats in way I actually understand. I am a visual learner and all the numbers on my bloodwork never meant more to me than just that... numbers! I can now visualize the use of fat for energy, and why carbs are a quick fix but a long term problem. I can ignore numbers, but I cannot ignore physiology. You are a great teacher!
Carbs are a quick fix but a long term problem! ... Nice!
I eat about 200 grams of butter a day. I eat butter like it's a chocolate bar. Guys at my work think I'm crazy but they can't really say anything bad because they are all fat and I'm a shredded muscular guy. My nickname is "butterz". Eating a high fat, very low carb, carnivore diet is the best feeling in the world for me. Everyone around me just can't believe the diet I eat and the shape I'm in. They expect me to be fat. I try and tell them that everything they have been taught about nutrition and fat consumption is a lie but 99% of people just don't listen and wanna keep eating their corporate garbage food
Thank you @jjackhammer5915. The bandwagon fallacy. The exception must be wrong. Congratulations. 😄
I would rather eat a cube of butter than chocolate 😀 ....so glad that I have now found others who feel the same way. Love butter on my vegies and steak ❣
My dad used to eat butter like it was cheese. He would get the butter, crackers and a knife and cut squares and put them on the cracker. He could eat a whole stick in one sitting. He was thin, healthy and never had high cholesterol or anything "they" would say he was causing. He also had great skin - people would take him for someone 20 years younger all the time. I'm not sure it was the butter, but it certainly didn't hurt.
@@laureldevineI grew up eating butter and crackers 😋
Same experience and diet - slim fit 68 yo - tons of butter eggs meat and my weakness / full fat cream
I have been eating keto/ketovore for 18 months, and high fat carnivore for the past month. My recent blood work showed: A1C 5.3; Triglycerides 55; HDL 110; VLDL 5; and AST and ALT 20. I believe that I am a “lean-mass hyper-responder”, as defined by Dave Feldman. I am lean and fit, eat zero processed foods, drink zero alcohol, never smoked, and do resistance training and sprint intervals 2x/week. I work an active job. But all my doctor focused on was my LDL (277). Personally, I think I am probably healthier and lower risk than 99% of her patients (and her, for that matter). She told me to eat low-fat/low cholesterol diet. I have no plans to do that, but I have added in garlic, a little bit of arugula/avocado/sauerkraut, and if my skin can tolerate them, I will keep them. But I believe that I am eating a proper human diet, even though my doctor doesn’t agree. I need to find a doctor who will look at ALL of my blood markers instead of being hyper focused on just LDL!!
Conventional diet info from most doctors is often bollocks causing the problems to push drug money.
I had the same problem. I cut down on carbs, began eating more fats. Felt great. I'm quite fit and always have been. But cutting the carbs finally made me feel better than I was. All my blood work markers improved, except my LDL. It went up. So she immediately prescribed statin drugs for me. I got scared and started taking them. Felt like I was hit by a truck. Couldn't get out of bed, my muscles ached everywhere, and I couldn't sleep. My mind felt like there was something very wrong. I stopped the statins and have never felt better.
Doctors have no idea. All they know is what they were taught in med school, which is based on "science" from 70 years ago.
I had similar numbers to yours my doctor didn't ask me any questions about my diet or family history he went right to statin I lol said no way I want a CAC test had that done by a cardiologist score was zero no calcium build up at all cardiologist said he wouldn't recommend a statin for me at that time told me to continue on with my happy life and diet which is mostly carnivore low carb
The reason the docs go straight to statins is not only ignorance but liability.
@@Jake-zc3fkno it’s all about the bank account, and a regular customer means bigger bank account. They got given a book every few months with new drug lines certain drugs have perks, to encourage doctors to try them out on the patients. And of course patients are oh so a obliging. Don’t trust the doctors, I do my part and God does the rest. God is my healer
I only used lard for cooking and my blood work is perfect. I don't think lard is bad for the body, the cooking vegetable oil is the problem.
Commercial vegetable oil has never been 'vegetable oil'. I use either lard, butter, olive oil or avocado oil, depending on what and how I am cooking. My cholesterol is spot on for 49yo despite being overweight - I'm working on it, successfully 😁.

This is a fantastic video, Dr. Ekberg. I’ve lost 150lbs over the last 4 years by going Healthy Keto. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs and I’m 62 years old.
I wonder if you would lose weight in a healthy high carb diet
I eat about a stick of butter a day...mostly carnivore for a year. I have lost 71lbs, reversed t2d, off all meds. My triglycerides down from 1386 last year to 110. Still have a ways to go with those but every 3 months that number is lower and lower. Age 63 and healthier than I've been in last 25 yrs. No cravings and always satiated.
Good job!
@Maria ASh What brand of butter do you eat? And how do you consume it?
You will have to add things like sweet potatoes and fruits later, when ppl do extreeme diet they have an euphoric phase where the body return to balance from all the processed carbs and sugar they used to consume, but after a while that phase will come to an end when the body needs healthy carbs and natural sugars like honey and fruits, but of course it will be denied of such food duo to a dogma of being a healthy "carnivore" or strict keto, prevlant thing in this nutrtion community, its treated as religion and its not actually a religion.
@@Jj-gi2uv What brand of Ghee? I can’t get anything from a farm.
Julia Child (the French Chef...) said in an interview that she ate about 2 stick of butter a day due to her rich recipes. She just loved the taste. She was still working daily and was still on TV at the age of 89 and she looked great for her age. I think her last TV show before she retired and moved to CA was right after her 89th birthday. She died at 92. The whole "butter is bad" is a load of crap.
The problem with dairy products are the antibiotics and drugs that are used today on dairy farms. Before, there weren't so many chemicals in milk, which is why allergies with dairy products are always attributed to others. Of course, the main poison is refined vegetable oils and processed foods, everything that is not natural and takes chemical processes ends up harming health.
In AZ the Sprouts markets sell raw milk. Half a gallon runs almost $8.00 per half gallon. But those of us who were raised on raw milk keep them nearly sold out. It's from a dairy that is probably a 30 minute from me. Calling next week to see if they have on onsite store with additional raw milk products. If not I'll just use their raw product to make it myself.
Absolutely I agree 100%
Unfortunately all farms use antibiotics raising pigs, cows, chikens, turkeys...it is hard to avoid it novadays.
All dairy milk pick-up are tested for the presence of antibiotics. Every dairy processor has a very low limit (often about 3) of violations permitted before a dairy is rejected for pick-up. In many geographic areas there are one or maybe two processors. If you can't get your milk picked up, you're out of business. That's an extremely strong incentive to keep recovered cows out of the milking string and to have well-trained employees.
Every cow on antibiotics are required to be segregated from the rest. If they (antibiotics ) are present during testing, the entire milk tank has to be destroyed. That is quite expensive. My family had a dairy and my partner did testing for dairies.
The fact that the first thing that the doctor asks you is how old you are, and then they check the table in their head and say for example - it is perfectly normal for you to have high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and other chronic symptoms because you are this old, take these expensive drugs to control the symptoms, is the worst scam ever...
Makes you wonder if the drug companies have undue influence on recommended practices and physician licensing boards. It seems as if there was an exploitive structure existent before covid and they just couldn't resist putting everybody though the ringer.
@@johngalt97 Some of it is based on the drug companies and some on the backward logic of medical science. I take a group of thousand sixty year old patients, analyze their blood, find that majority of them have certain symptoms, and from that they make backward protocols to the whole of the population.
It’s how they are taught in medical school, so they just practice it and stay in line with what the AMA tells them.
When my mother-in-law was in the hospital they fed her through a tube. They also had to keep giving her insulin because of what they fed her. I was blown away because I figured they'd be able to give the perfect food through a tube because they don't have to focus on taste.
Life saving medicine is wonderful, but doctors are completely clueless when it comes to living healthy.
The range that is used in blood test results are not scientifically deduced. They are simply an average of a number of people's results which is why the range can change over time. As more people get worse results the range will change according to that. So basically the range is not what is "best" it is just an average.
I've been on low carb for 6 months. I haven't felt this good in a long time. Amazing how I no longer crave food all the time and have steady energy levels. I have been dropping weight at a steady pace. I have also noticed how much less joint pain I have since getting off sugar and carbs.
"A high-fat, high-saturated fat diet decreases insulin sensitivity without changing intra-abdominal fat in weight-stable overweight and obese adults"
I've experimented with the opposite. I dropped the fat nice and low and didn't give a monkeys how much sugar I ate. I didn't eat like I was trying to win a bet but didn't stop when still hungry to hit a target amount of calories. (I'm not sure about protein and also alcohol, whether it acts like a fat - eating lots but still hungry - or like a carbohydrate - full on less calories, I would be on the safe side and keep alcohol low or none) Logic was carb calories were filling and fat calories were not. I don't think I've ever been low carb though on a continuous basis, other than exercising away my carb stores and feeling a bit weak and jelly legged. Negative is have to drop fat REALLY low (under 10g a day) to lose any weight and it's slow. Positive is good mood and lots of energy.
I have found that any food that is high in fat I have to stop eating when I'm still hungry or else I will gain weight. Sugar is more filling than I thought it would be. I feared I could eat endless quantities of it and rack up easy calories.
@@TimpBizkit My body is horrible on carbs, especially sugar. Packs lbs on like crazy.
@D Macarthur how low is your fat intake? It's easy to accidentally go too high with even a packet or 2 of crisps. I've made this mistake and stayed the same weight. 20 or 10g fat a day is ideal but it is easy to exceed 50, 60, 70g of eating at a friend's house with unknown oil content. I haven't gained but lucky to shift a pound every couple of months. It is like the body only wants to pick and nibble at small quantities of body fat and eat 95 percent carbohydrate.
I haven't tried keto though have heard of negative side effects and fat doesn't fill me up at sensible calorie numbers. I have heard that carbohydrate fasting has an appetite suppressant effect but at what price I'm not sure. Sugar can have a lot of calories but they are usually balanced by the extended duration before hunger strikes again. Fat has even more calories but hunger strikes quickly so I would have to consciously ignore it and keep track of calories. It's like feeding a cat a bowl of dreamies. They will eventually overcalorie due to the high fat content and turn into garfield if left to their own devices. If you can ration them out and at calorie neutral they will be mewing at you for more (note I am not familiar with the carnivorous physiology so am unsure how carbohydrate relates to cat satiation and function, their regular food tends to be self limiting and the cat simply loses interest in food before a calorie surplus occurs).
Also perhaps some people convert sugar and starch to fat more than others, and whether certain hormones in dairy influence this even if the milk or yogurt is skimmed.
Weight gain for me is the usual unrestricted fatty carbohydrate foods. If there is one thing bad about sugar or artificial sweetener is it opens up another range of high calorie foods, and now with pizza you are enjoying scones with clotted cream and jam; cakes and doughnuts and ice cream.
I have found fat calories the easiest to remove and the body doesn't try to trick me into eating more and moving less, whereas if I cut out sugar, or starch I just hunger for bigger portions. Stuffing my stomach with celery doesn't satiate if I'm after glucose. Eating fat to me feels like that unsatisfying celery but somehow it is high in calories.
@@TimpBizkit on Keto fat is majority of calorie intake. I am rarely hungry and usually eat only one big meal a day. I avoid any carbs, especially sugar.
Thanks. Love your explanations. Been on carnivore now 2.5 years and still learning and deepening my knowledge. Thankgod there's Drs like you who describe things properly and explain things!

Thank you for putting your body to the test so we can benefit from lessons learned. I started doing Keto 1 year ago then went to modified carnivore diet with no fruit and limited vegetables and only Ezekiel bread. I feel so much better and my weight is down to around 175lb at 5'11. Seems kind of light for my height but I had quite a bit of visceral fat that needed to go, and still do. Thanks for everything you do! It is much appreciated.
I shifted back to butter and lard for cooking about 6 years ago. Recently I had some testing where they examined my heart arteries. I am 68 years old and they found no blockages or significant build up in any of my arteries.
But they found high cholesterol levels
@@eara8426 People with high LDL cholesterol live longer. Statins increase your chances of getting Alzheimer's. Seed oils will destroy your health which is true and so many lies they have told us like we should eat lots of carbs in their food pyramid. The dietary advice put out by the government has created an obesity epidemic and created several generations of sick, weak, chronically ill people which is just what big pharma wants.
@@eara8426 Statins are of no value at all because cholesterol is not an issue. In fact studies show that people who have high LDL cholesterol live longer.

Been following your advice ever since finding your channel and you've saved my life. I was on my way out, but have become lean and muscular at 62 and am no longer pre diabetic. Still working on my neuropathy, which is almost gone! No more blow torch on my feet, no more swelling lower legs and feet, but I still can not feel the ground beneath my feet until I step on anything the size of a grain of salt and up. Instant pain. Have to touch a stationary object when walking in the dark, so I know if I'm standing up or falling over. Have to touch the wall in my shower when my eyes are shut, so I don't fall. Driving's fun when I can't feel the accelerator or brake pedals lol. Anyway, I'm energetic and looking forward to a long life. Thank you Sten.
It's complicated, that's true
God bless you .. and everyone who shares the road with you! 😬😬😬
I am the same age with similar problems. But with the diet changes i am improving. Plus some vitamins helped a lot. Although i had to take more vitamins than the recommendations on the bottle.

I am 76 and often had attacks of pancreatitis, even being hospitalized once. In 1995 I decided to look for means of prevention. Being a bio-medical engineer since 1975, I did some research, then did some experiments. I found 3 tablespoons of olive oil both stopped the pain of an attack in 5 minutes, and daily prevented them. My son, also prone to this problem, also had the same results with olive oil. This has worked since then, for both of us, except for lapses of a few days which resulted in an attack, until stopped by olive oil. Seems the advise actually causes the problem!
I forgot to add that only pure olive oil works. I have tried many, only to find that perhaps 60% or more of "olive oils" in the US are fake or diluted olive oils which have no effect or make the pain worse. So beware. I learned the hard way, to my surprise.

Finally an explanation for my low Triglyceride and high LDL readings. I wasn't expecting to get an answer when I clicked on this video, but woohoo! My medical results have been troubling me for some time as my doctor made a pretty big fuss about my LDL levels and now I know I was worrying for nothing for 11 months. During this time, despite asking a few professionals, no one could tell me why or suggest a diet to balance these 2 metrics.
This is a wake-up call that we have to interpret data as a whole and not just dwell on siloed metrics.
This is one among the best videos you produced so far. As a matter of fact it is not so easy to say wich is better but this is amazing. My gratitude for all your work Dr. Sten Ekberg.
Yes Dr Eckberg, your brilliant explanations are saving lives for those who will listen. If only our doctors got teaching like this instead of the Pharma based education they are brainwashed on. Thank you for all your help.

Carbs and fibre are not wanted by the body.
@@adelarsen9776 Fiber is needed for gut health and helps control hunger throughout the day instead of eating something with less fiber that won't keep us feeling full for as long.

I have refractory epilepsy. I used to have multiple seizure clusters each day. Medications didn't help. I decided to try the high-fat ketogenic diet. I have been eating ~4 Tbsp of butter each day, 3+ eggs a day, and lots of fat for the last 5 years. I eat on average between 180-200g fat every single day and try to keep my carbohydrate intake below 15g. My neuro keeps an eye on my blood and my numbers have never been a concern. I even had a cardiologist tell me he wishes he had my numbers. Now, I go 2 weeks in between a seizure on average. I do *not* like the diet per se lol but it has essentially saved my life. I agree with everything in this video from my own firsthand experience.

A masterful video filled with so much important and vital information. Stating that the standard model should be challenged "a little bit" is being very kind to organizations like the AHA and others, whose recommendations make no sense and are totally out of whack. Really, accepted good foods like avocado's and EV olive oil contain 10-15% saturated fat, so how can the AMA come up with 5%??
Because of monetary interest
Hi there! I stumbled into this video and I was amazed. I have excelled (put everything down on an excel sheet) my blood works from 1992 till OCT22 and excelled my weight during 2021 2022. During the pandemic (2020) I ate tons of bacon and literally lost weight. But as soon as we were allowed out and about, went back to the good carby foods. My cholesterol went way up to 300+. So instinctively I began a no crappy carbs diet and long fastings with my only one meal a day (4 eggs with broccoli, onions, garlic, peppers, and cheese) and 2022 will show I have lost weight and maintained it. I still eat chocolates but I have proven to my ALL PILLS doctor, that I can lower cholesterol with no statins. By the way, my triglicerols are very low despite still having wild cholesterol. LOVED your video.

What has surprised me with following Dr. Sten's advice to us all is that the skin cancer on my nose has almost disappeared. I knew cancer loves sugar but not this much.

Dr Sten, you are such an amazing person! You speak and explain things so eloquently and clearly so anyone can understand. As an extended example of this experiment, I transitioned from keto to carnivore over 2 years ago. Since going 100% carnivore 2 years ago I have added at least 1 stick of butter and usually 2 sticks a day to my diet and feel so excellent with all blood markers consistently excellent I went from about 400lbs to 215 and feel like I am 30 instead of my age now which is 57. God bless you for helping to get out this important message to improve metabolic health!!

Thank you for your video, I have been on keto diet (under 50g of carbs/day) and my levels of everything got normalized or improved. Before that I was so sick with metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, cardiac illness, cholesterol and triglycerides out of the roof, inflammation, and autoimmune reactions. After two years on keto I was feeling great, I even quite coffee. For the sake of experimentation I made a 6 months break, where I started eating grains, bread, pasta, sweets, potatoes, and basically a “normal” American diet. After 6 months, my weight went up so fast, I had a very serious case of inflammation on my knees, and skin autoimmune rush, I was feeling very tired and my blood pressure went out of the roof again. I am back on keto, and I will never get back to eating carbs. It is so bad that I don’t understand why the medical and pharmaceutical communities didn’t point it out as the root of the main medical issues already. Well I know why lol

Recently I've increased my protein intake which has naturally reduced the amount of carbs I eat.
After watching this video, I'm eager to try increasing my fat intake so I can reduce my carb intake even more to see what effect it has on my bloods.

In our home we started just using butter about a year ago, nothing wrong with us, we use it for cooking too.
Fantastic video! Everybody should learn this in such an ease way as it was explained here. So overall this tells me that the major thing we want to do is to keep our metabolism healthy and just eat a healthy composition of food. And i believe natural foods are always better than heavily processed ones. Don't change from butter to margarine.
Thanks, Dr E. I now have something to convince the skeptics in my family about the flaw in our prevalent dietary guidelines concerning restricting fats in eating. The thorough introduction to lipoproteins' relationship to cholesterols should clear up the usual confusion that other presenters fail to explain away in brief videos like this (overly long ones tend to get muddled by too many technical terms that would just overload the general viewers).
This video is the best one I have seen on the effects of saturated fat consumption and LDL cholesterol. Thanks Dr. Sten.

I've only recently (about a year) eased into low-carb and eating a more healthy, nearly all non-processed or lightly-processed foods, and I must say I have been impressed. Not just by the results on the bloodwork, but also by the results in the mirror, how my clothes fit, my weight, and overall wellness and ability to do hours of hard yardwork and not be sore for days afterward and not needing nsaids for those several days. Aside from chocolate, I really don't miss any of the processed, carb-laden crap I was eating before, either. I was very skeptical when I started, thinking eating avocado and other high-fat items every day would make me fat, but it has done just the opposite. Big thanks to Doctors like Dr. Ekberg, who are willing to tell the truth and explain why these things work. We've been lied to for decades by mainstream doctors who are beholden to big pharma rather than looking out for the well-being of their patients. Glad some doctors are finally speaking out, and being heard! 😻

I am a retired RN and I always wondered as a child on how is it that people who seemed to eat the best foods get the worst illness? How a person who eats only at the point of starvation could have better immunity than those who eat on a regular basis. How people who understand the least in anatomy and physiology seem to tolerate high stress? Those who wake with the sun and sleep at nightfall have better immunity? Just what Mark Twain said, quoted in this video, it is sad to believe something as truth when it is not.
Thanks doctor , you're a real one 🏆
4 tbsp of kerrygold wrapped in chilled bacon is the first thing I eat after a fast 🤤
Thank You @adamwithana8759. I'll have to try that 😀
I wish KerryGold was organic.....
@@lotte5173 They print organic on anything these days just to charge more, kerrygold is grass fed butter with 3 ingredients, top tier
Been on keto for almost 3 weeks. I have back issues which limit mobility and must yse a walker to move around. Dropped 19 lbs. My blood sugar in the 90s or lower lat two weeks. Need to lose weight for back surgery but I also want to get off metformin and other drugs. It will happen. Keep up the great videos!
R u doing well, brother? I’ve been eating 6-8T butter daily for close to a month and it’s changed my LIFE.
My outlook, mood. My caring about food. My hunger (gone). My pain. Diff body issues. My fat is actually leaving. My belly is actually shrinking. My spine pain radiating down my shoulder into my tricep (almost gone!).
I will never go back. Label me at risk the rest of my very long life 😉
Let me know how ur doing!
I lowered my mom’s cholesterol to perfect by feeding her uncured bacon, pasture raised eggs, home fried potatoes and avocado for breakfast every day, meat potatoes and vegetables for lunch and dinner, all the butter she wanted (grass fed organic). Got her off the soda and switched her to green tea with raw honey.
what cholesterol? ldl? hdl? tg?apob?
lowering her carbs along with this would yield better results
Really nice and understandable break down doctor. Around 1980 I read a study that showed how people in South England had much healthier hearts than North England and the only major difference in diet was was the North used margin and the South it all about the butter.
Margarine in that era had trans fat. That’s a big Nono
Thank you for the good lesson! I have been on low carb high fat diet and on OMAD for a year. My triglyceride went from >300 (still normal) to 60!
I just found you with this video that came up in my feed. I am so impressed. I’m 74 and been vegan since 1968. My cholesterol until 10 years ago was too low I was told. Now it’s too high. My diet is not different no dairy, no carb, no sugar. But my family genetics in old age brings cholesterol up. I’ll have to figure this out maybe through you videos. Also my family has a good diet. Everyone. But something is wrong with insulin etc. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I knew what your results would be before watching the video, but I wanted to see your explanation, and I always love to experience vindication against recommendations for low-fat diets. Outstanding content, Dr Ekberg. Thanks for keeping it real.
Where was the "vindication"? He has deadly high LDL which is a major risk factor for heart disease.
@@cyberfunk3793 Did you even watch the video? Show me the time stamp for the part where he says he had high LDL.
@@richardreinertson1335 Why do you think he doesn't show his full results? Because his LDL is obviously of the charts and he thinks it's ok to have high LDL like he makes clear in his video: "Your Doctor Is Wrong About Cholesterol". If a person eats bunch of butter, other saturated fat and animal proteins their LDL is going to be high almost without exception.
@@cyberfunk3793 So it seems to me that your comment should be posted on THAT video instead of this one. I'm not going to argue with you here. He's the doc, I'm not. Argue with him not me.
@@richardreinertson1335 I think this one is appropriate also, because he is trying to promote the false idea that butter doesn't negatively affect blood lipids and offers as evidence 1) A short term test that isn't even long enough to show the real change 2) Fails to disclose his actaul full results obviusly because he doesn't want people to see his high cholesterol. He isn't a doc as in MD, his education has 0 to do with what he is talking about.
I agree with the information your providing. As I work closer to my PhD in function medicine I find myself rubbing against the grain of so many doctors who quite frankly never went to school to learn how to cure people at the cellular level and still at best continue to apply metaphoric bandaids on underlying problems. Thank you for your continued studies and like you I get great amusement in making myself a lab rat in self studies. I look forward to your blood courses because knowing ones base line is critical. Thanks again.
I haven't watched the vid yet. I learned 30yrs ago that the real threat to health is excessive sugar. Not fats.
Thank you for your self-experiments and sharing the results.
At first I thought that you sacrifice yourself for knowledge but then I recognized that Ekberg tried to say that we are misguided and actually we are sacrifing with wrong food habits. Bravo Ekberg, you save peoples lives!!
Well the information we get, mostly comes from the media, who have been paid to misinform.
The one that really bothers me is the war on salt, people are taking it to extremes and it's doing more harm than good.
Thank you sir once again for these life changing videos.
Mark twain doesn't say it best,dr stan says it best!
Ekberg you are the Best!, keep up the good work
I remember my mother had gallstones and had to have her gallbladder removed before the age of 40. Her doctor told her to eat butter, not margarine. She lived to 97 with healthy arteries. Unfortunately, she had COPD, which ultimately did her in.
That one sentence Re: Carbs are preferred because they must be used up first, (because they are poison) and if you are only using up carbs, you never get to the fat is So important and obviously, it seems like no one listens beyond "Carbs are the preferred food." (WOW!)
Funny, so our cells work on poison ?? 😂
@@zaid6164 They don't work on poison but they do the best they can with what they are given. That's why we get sick. Lungs don't do well at filtering toxins but they continue to filter even for smokers. Then the issues show up later after years of filtering toxins. The same thing happens to cells that are working off of poison instead of a steady stream of the good stuff.
So dont eat too much carbs??
Thank you for all your incredibly thorough work. ❤
I went on the low carb diet for a year, one month on followed by one month maintaining my weight. When I did this there were no low carb options like there is now. I ate 3 large pieces of meat, 6+ eggs and a pile of cheese every day. I pan fried the meat and eggs most times. In the end my triglycerides, cholesterol and blood sugar all went down.
Great video. His model is correct because starting carnivore both my triglycerides and HDL and LDL sky rocketed. I have major major major inflammation going on. Which means my body is repairing and balancing what it needs first. I am lowering my insulin dramatically and for the first time in over a year feel the inflammation going down and the fat coming off. I still eat carbs. I am not 100 % carnivore. I will be starting January 2, 2025 with fermented veggies.
I have been eating so much butter. April will be my yearly appts. I cannot wait to see what improvements I have made. I will save this video and comeback to update. I think I will have a true testimony!
Thanks Doc!
It would be interesting to see other doctors react to this.
У врачей реакция одна : сразу же выписать статины и ограничит жиры . Спасибо , доктор Стен , за труд . А вообще даже здесь , в Америке , врачи не знают и не интересуются гомоцистеином .
