Man seriously I feel so bad for the majority of Americans who eat a diet of junk and dont even know that its severely limiting their quality of life. The greatest tragedy today and its hiding in plain sight.
It should be illegal to sale
Yes yes yes! I keep trying to tell my son who is 34. He and his whole family, 3 kids and wife eat nothing but junk food! My 8 year old grandson is already obese (actually they all are) and it is heartbreaking.
Couldn’t agree more. People don’t actually know how bad they feel til they feel good. They will only feel good by not eating regular processed garbage.
The slow boiled frog syndrome
@@tonymurray814 Yes you are spot on. Sometimes you can't see the inside until you step back and look from the outside
For my 2nd job, I'm a weekend waitress at a very popular breakfast joint. We are completely slammed on the weekends. The amount of people that start to come in at 10 am hangry, irritable and just flat out rude, is astonishing.. meanwhile, I'm fasting my entire shift.. happy and level headed as can be.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
Awesome
Good on you but must be quite the experience. You must be tempted at times to tell them they're stuffing themselves with garbage?
It’s because they’re hungover on weekends mornings 😂
Same!!! Also all my coworkers "Ugh I'm so tired" drinking red bull, meanwhile I'm wide awake and full of energy 😂 Every since I switched to keto and IF seems like I'm never tired anymore.
I stopped eating 99% of the standard American diet a few years ago. I'm healthier now at 72 years old than I've ever felt. Thank you for reinforcing and supporting my journey to achieve optimal health .
Same here at age 64!
Same here at 75
I am at 66. I stop eating SAD since I was at 30. And I don't have any grey hair until I was at 60.
Right behind you 66yr. old Grandmother, feeling great.
been mostly low carb since Atkins, time out for some holidays. Now 77, 95% carnivore.
This is SHOCKING. After only 10 days?! Every American should watch this and EVERY school science/health class should have to show Dr. Ekberg's videos. Thanks for "taking one for the team" and giving us this information. I'm glad you're fortunate enough in your health resiliency to do this experiment.
AMEN! Every HEALTH PRACTITIONER should watch this!! I wish I could get my doctor to watch this and really get a clue!!
He did not actually do the diet. It's just a thought experiment
Ugh... just imagine all these Americans eating garbage like this for years on end let alone 10 freakin' days? No wonder..
He gained 10lbs and his triglycerides literally doubled. That's insane. Most Americans truly don't understand what we're doing to ourselves on a daily basis.
@@ZelenoJabko It's just entertainment just like milli vanilli singing their own songs.
I do keto and intermittent fasting, but I have one cheat day a week and everything you said is exactly how I feel afterwards!! Especially the full/empty feeling. You stuff yourself and still want more chips cookies and soda. It's literally a drug. I don't keep snacks in the house, because I can't stop myself if it's there.
Same keto and IF here - I have pretty much stopped the cheat days - I feel so awful afterwards (and the junk cravings the next day are hellish). It's not worth it for me. I can't believe I was poisoning myself for so many years without really thinking about it, but it's no wonder so many of us are so unhealthy with the SAD/processed food so normalized within society.
I do carnivore and believe it or not my one cheat day is eating some spaghetti sauce in my ground beef. Layered with ricotta, mozzarella, and shredded parm. Delicious
Why have a cheat day? Cut out the garbage completely, and after a while you won't want it anymore. Stay strong!
Same here. Lost 14 kilos (28 pounds) on keto and fasting. First days I couldn’t believe how much my energy levels increased simply by not eating out of my fasting window and eating the right food. My cheat day is every other week. True. Junk food is like a drug!
having a cheat day every week is completely negating the benefits of being in ketosis and stopping your body from getting fat adapted. you're running around in circles. pointless diet model you have.
It was so illuminating to see that excessive butter and egg consumption did no harm, but 'ordinary' food wreaked havic in your body. That truly is a wake up call for me. Thank you so much for all the amazing content you post.
I agree, yep.
Ordinary food like junk food
Dr. Ekberg,
Your channel is one of the biggest reasons why I have had the most dramatic body transformations in my life.
Although I have become a pariah at family events (all of the missed cakes and alcohol), I have never felt better.
Hope you keep inspiring people like me
Hey, congratulations on turning your life around. I've been on the same path as you for the past few months. I don't want to encourage you on a bad slope, but social events are a crucial part of a balanced life. I eat the same as everyone on these events not to drag any attention towards my diet, it keeps everyone happy and this way I eat without any feelings of guilt.
Forza Inter!
Dr. Berg is also a good channel. 😊
@@krizan1yes!! And Dr. Josh Axe
I’m 16 years old and I’ve been eating very healthy for the past 1-2 years, making some changes here and there. But I’ll tell you, my acne has substantially diminished, I used to get headaches relatively frequently and now it’s almost never. I’ve noticed that my body has become very sensitive to just about anything unhealthy; one unhealthy meal could throw off my whole day easily.
Very smart to be thinking of these things so young. I wouldn't even say what I was doing at 16 but suffice to say none of it was healthy and some of it continued to the age I am now and I'm paying a heavy price. High blood pressure, damaged kidneys, acid reflux, migraines, and 30 extra lbs of weight around my stomach. Keep up what you're doing because you do not want to battle these illness ( and worse) as you age. Nothing matters in life when you're sick. I am feeling better already changing my diet and hope to rid myself of some the afflictions I have. Already stomach and headaches 75% better.
I love being one of your health champions! With your help I changed my life last year. Lost almost 30 pounds through fasting and cutting junk "standard American food". It's appalling what people think is food. No wonder we are an increasingly unhealthy pharmaceutical dependent society.
Yes, OMD is amazing. I love it. If you study up on it more you will find that stints of 3 plus days can have surprising health benefits with were proven with a trial. I wanted to go longer but due to my stomach structure (diaphragm effectively divides it in two causing many issues) it caused irritation and so had to limit my stints to 2 days. It makes me feel so much better and saves me money by eating less!!
Fluid intake helped in the transition process.
Just goes to show, quality is so much more important than quantity. The info on this channel should be mandatory for every human body.
Phoodstuphs.
@@martinlang9615 are you talking about full day fasting for 2 days or are you talking about one meal a day?
@Alansworstnight was about to ask the same thing. Couldn’t figure out if they were referring to water fasting or the OMAD diet. In the middle of my first 5 day water fast personally.
For all those who cannot get rid of the urge to overeat and unhealthy snacks, buy different types of healthy nuts and seeds (pistachios, cashews, walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc.) and eat only these treats, they should not harm you
You are brave. I was diagnosed with T2 in 2015. And followed the NZ Diabetic Assoc guidelines. Things just kept getting worse. So - I had had enough. Started with lemon water (made with actual lemons) in the morning. This stopped the sugar / chocolate / diet soda cravings. Then in Dec 2022 I started TRE at 13/11 - I am now at 15/9. My last Hba1c was the lowest it has ever been. All my other markers - LDL / HDL / Renal etc - all good. My waist is 10cm smaller, my weight is 10Kg lower. My energy levels are so, so high. I am not on a very low carb plan - but no added sugar, no white stuff (bread etc), no ultra-processed food and little processed food (it needs to be as as close to possible as the original - and no added sugar). No counting calories. I am 64 - so it is never too late.
Thank you @rodjackson9652 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Amazing!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
Awesome work. Keep it up!
One thing we all can do to show gratitude to Dr. Ekberg for his selflessness and tremendous efforts in making these highly educational videos is to share them with everyone on your contact list. It’s the least we can do! God bless you Dr. Ekberg 🙏
I share Dr. Ekberg's video all the time with those I love
Absolutely!!
Fantastic video! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Imagine if all Americans would change their eating habits - and eat healthy. No fast food, no processed food, no soft drinks, no artificial made snacks, turn to olive oil, intermediate fasting more times/week, etc. We would see a nation slim down - and well - panic from all the food producers. But .. why not?! Don't let the food industry dictate what you need to eat based on their production - tell the food industry to make healthy food!!!
I love it. Let's start a food revolution.
I had to work overtime overnight. I am an operating room nurse. I ran out of my homemade healthy food and was very bad and went to the vending machine in desperation. A rare weak cheat. A few chocolates and a bag of salty popcorn later and I feel like absolute crap. I eat smart 99 % of the time and when I don't...oh boy I feel it 🤢
Those vending machines in hospitals - wow. And some of the hospital and nursing home food is absolute crap (hot dos, jello, fruit juice, bread, canned fruit in syrup). It's all about cheap and easy.
@@callicordova4066You are so right.! We fix the patients hearts with bypasses and the first meal they have in hospital is Standard American diet. When they are discharged, diet teaching is nil or limited to the same 😥
@@Kerry6691 What is the "Standard American diet"?
Such an eye opening video. This needs to be shown to everyone!
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and I consider it a blessing is disguise. My diet throughout this pregnancy was not the worst, but definitely could have been better. Ever since I was diagnosed, I have been researching so much about the effects on processed foods/sugar, and I was just overwhelmed how I’ve been eating/drinking all this junk for YEARS. Since cutting out empty carbs/sugars the past 2 weeks, the first things I noticed were the dramatic improvement of my energy levels and sleeping habits. Sometimes I feel guilty because I would never harm my developing baby, but all that junk I did eat during first and second trimester was not helping momma or baby at all. However, I’m happy I’m on track now to achieve the most optimal health possible for myself and baby.
Thanks for this video Dr. Ekberg and for speaking out on the dangers of overconsumption of highly processed foods/drinks!
Totally agree with the notion that fat is being blamed as the bad guy, when the quantity of total sugars has been ignored.
I now regard total sugars, especially white sugar as POISON.
It’s THE most addictive, long term damaging, highly available, cheap and difficult to avoid, legal DRUG on this planet.
Fat in moderation especially other than “bad” fats has been demonised unfairly.
Simply, processed food swaps fat for sugar.
This “low fat” marketing is a con and I’m sick of it.
We need to start a movement to rename the SAD as the "Carbohydrate Rich - All Processed" Diet. Hmm.. I wonder what the acronym would be.
That's fantastic! 😂
You’re so awesome Dr. Ekberg! You’re one of the Best Dr. I’ve ever heard in history. My sickness healed because of you. Thank you so much!👌💯
I sympathize, Doc. I lapsed during the holidays too. Those carbs really grab you & don't let go. I should have made a video titled 'I ate 100 mince pies in 10 days & still wanted more!'
I have trouble during the holidays too because of too many tempting treats. Plus my birthday is at the end of the year.
You rock Sten. I did this diet for years so it's no surprised I'm over 270 pounds. I am currently working on changing that. Keep up the great videos!
I wish you success and wellness.
Good job. It's a very psychological game the food industry play on us. It's literally like drugs to some of us. I wish you good luck, and get up on the horse again if you fall. It's hard in the beginning but you can do it. :)
Watup BigBoy. Im 230 pounds
I reduced amount of carb and trans fat, sugar and gluten since I was 14 yrs old! I never scape my daily routine activity and exercise too! Barley eat junk even processed food almost stoped!
Extremely suit my body. I'll be 45 yrs in few months, but I look 22-23 YRS Young happily❤
Your sense of humour cracks me up! 🤣 I always blame the washing machine for shrinking my cloths! 😂
When you ate butter and eggs we were not much worried but the very topic made to feel scary. It shows how much effort you take to make us understand the difference between garbage - so called food and REAL FOOD. Respect for you getting added day by day🙏
Using yourself as a test model shows true passion. Thank you for this lesson.
I agree👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Getting rid of soda in 2021 and doing intermittent fasting starting this year has me feeling better than ever. This reinforces why I'm going to keep going further down this journey!
I know there were some years in my past where I drank more neon mtn dew & mello yello than water. I stopped all that, haven't missed it a bit.
@DDeden I feel this. I used to drink tons and tons, quit awhile ago and I definitely don't miss it. Dropped over 40lbs when I stopped.
I wish you success and wellness.
I love this video Dr. Ekberg...thanks for doing it! I look forward, and dread "cheat days". I know they are occasions to eat "forbidden foods" that I avoid, but I also know that my body is going to feel sluggish, blah, and will see the scale go up the next day. I enjoyed seeing how it affects you, and even "symptoms" that you have that I have, but just didn't think about. This video will help me stay motivated to stay the course, and do better on keto/I.F. this year (was totally keto/I.F. 84% for the whole year last year...recorded cheat days). So, thanks for being so thorough, and thought provoking, informative, and overall helpful. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you @angelfriend3710. Thanks for sharing your experiences, struggles and motivation. I think we are all like that to some degree and we just need to get a really strong why so we can stick to it. I had a beer belly growing in no time and it was absolutely shocking to me. I've never had that before. I'll make sure it is gone next month. Best of luck to you. 😄
@@drekberg do you encourage cheat days or it's something we should avoid altogether?
I appreciate the content you. They are truly life saving
I also allow a cheat day on Saturdays. I'm allowed to eat my favorite French toast for breakfast and eat a restaurant meal with the family. It hasn't negatively affected my overall weight loss.
@@trishredding8009 Got you. Thank you for feedback. This is advice from the Doc or just your own experiences?
@@jayianian if you are fat and heading towards your goal don't cheat or it will take longer 😂. Life ismshort and summer is right around the corner. I'm almost ready for summer. I just need a few more months and I got it. I would say have a few nice days with the people you love or by yourself and cheat just a little bit then. Might feel so good and look so much better you may not want to😂. I may have some Ice cream and maybe a burger on a weekend once a month maybe this year. But my health is almost just right so it won't do much to me. But I've cracked the wip on myself for 2 years for it. Now I'm lifting a little weight and started to get a little muscle after all the hard work.
This is amazing!! I hate it when people focus on calories, not on the TYPE of calories they are eating. Low carb keto saved my life as a 65 year old and am the lowest weight I have been since my early 20’s and I have been that way for almost 1 1/2 years.
You like it?
Exactly, calorie type is the key.
If you want to make a SAD sandwich, you gotta use cheap white bread, sugar filled jelly and sugar added peanut butter. Don’t forget to pair it with a sugar filled ‘juice’ drink, a granola bar and a bag of potato chips. Throw in a cookie for dessert.
Sounds like a school or hospital lunch!
I switched to sugar-free jam and no-sugar-added peanut butter, but assume they both contain hidden glucose, so they're just rare treats.
Wow. This is appalling - I realized the SAD was horrible years ago, but this is an incredible illustration of just how bad it is. I'm actually worried for your health looking at these numbers - I'm sure you'll be able to bounce back, but your body took a hit for this challenge.
Dr. Ekberg is my morning go to! I grab my coffee and watch one of his videos. I just wish I could afford to do all the lab test on a routine bases to see how my body is responding. I do know my BP, weight, belly circumference and A1C have all decreased with LCHF and NO JUNK FOOD!. I also have more energy.
Thank you @fishingpinky3165 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Sounds like you are well on your way. Thanks for watching.😄
Because of you, I have changed my American diet completely! Thank you for educating me and improving my life! You are a hero!

Unfortunately, this message will never be heard by the masses. It is critical that you keep up the great work! People often ask me how I maintain my physique and great skin at my age(62). Modeling rather than preaching can be a more potent motivator. I would love to meet you.
Cynthia Hoz RN, BSN, MBA
Yes! Check the temperature setting on that washing machine! You crack me up! Great video. You're amazingly brave for doing this. So selfless! I'm so scared to go back to feeling that horrible way, as when I was on the standard American diet - all those stomach issues... I feel wonderful as a Meat, eggs and Salt carnivore - the best diet for optimal health and body weight. Not going back! Thanks for all you do!
So basically the food industry is killing us softly.
Yes and it's not the only one
Who said softly? They're just killing us.
Love your messages! Thank you! I've learned so much. I'm strict and am on OMAD. My weight is now normal, down by 20kg's and I feel fantastic! I feel terrible when I cheat. I know that feeling you had eating the SAD.
OMAD has changed my life! It's so nice going all day and not having to think about food until my early dinner. People think I'm crazy, yet they see how good I look and feel.
@@trishredding8009 You do?
Another OMAD nomad NO-SAD day! (Sing along!) 😅
I did intermittent fasting (18hrs) and low carbs for 6 days and 1 cheat day where I ate hamburger, donuts, juice and one soda. Today (day 8) I feel good but Im going for low carbs again and HITT exercises.
Major difference I have noticed is that I dont get tired, more energy, better mood, more focus and I don't get hungry so much. If everyday was my cheat day I wouldn't be feeling as good as I am right now.
Dr. Ekberg, since I started watching your videos all my health problems have disappeared. I suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, my LDL/HDL were very bad, my vitamin D was very low, l was anemic and pre- diabetic. Thanks to you I'm healthy now. I have reduced my size and gained muscle mass. Thank you very much for the time you spent to educate us to lead a Healthier life.
I love how Dr Sten does the lab rat work on himself, it goes to show you that Sten loves his job and is showing us what happens if we dont take care of ourselves.. Good Job Dr!
This stuff needs to be taught in schools.
Watching these videos makes me feel like I'm in study for being a doctor. Even if I don't remember everything I can help advise my friends with health and fasting. Wish they teach this at schools. Along with finance and investing at young age.
This is downright criminal from the US government and Big Food. Thanks Dr. For taking one for the team!
Well, Big Food and the government are just going by normal dietician standards. They focus only on the calories and so the responsibility lies with the people who can't control themselves. Even the nutrition world says, 'Eat whatever you want as long as you are in a caloric deficit.' So they don't feel they need to take responsibility for what foods they put out. After all, mainstream nutrition and fitness gurus all say 'CICO is all that matters', without taking into account the physiological damage these foods cause. The diet and nutrition world needs to shoulder some of the blame, not just the government and Big Food.
Clothes started shrinking! That was a good one! 😂 This guy is brilliant. Love him!
Thank you Dr! You’re advice is priceless to me. No doctor or even nutritionist will give you information like this. This has been a long and winding journey for me. I knew the added sugar and processed food was doing bad things to my body but I guess like many Americans we just ignore it and follow what our bellies want. I stopped eating sugar and high carb foods and I feel so much better now. I’ve been trying to do this for at least a year and just kept being led away by cravings. Finally I checked my glucose about a month ago and it was 139. My clothes were tight, I was not losing weight, and I felt depleted. At that point I said enough, I gotta cut out the sugar. I’m glad I finally made the leap. My glucose is under control now, clothes are much looser, lost about 9 pounds. Trying to bring my hubby around but he’s much more resistant than I was. He’s starting to see my results and maybe coming around, asking more questions.
I made juice:
🍊 Orange
Lime ( fresh)
Lemon( fresh)
rotbett( fresh)
Curcuma( fresh)
Ginger(fresh)
Chia seed
No added water
The juice is very sweet , yummy. Better than Cola
Sten, all your videos are great, but this one is the most enlightening one yet! It mirrors my own experience with high fat (good) vs. low fat (bad) diets. You are helping the population turn their health around while still eating tasty foods!
I remember when you were one of the greats on the tennis tour, Now giving such great health tips - amazing!
It's great that you know you can do these short experiments but know you will bounce back quickly. You probably even see it as a challenge.
My markers are way worse than yours after your "ten day binge", but way better than they were three years ago. If I was to do this challenge it would set me back 6 months at least!!
So thank you for taking it on my behalf and helping me keep truer to the path.
I think many people all over the world are brought up on the standard american diet and that diet has just gotten worse since I was a kid because of the fructose and sugar industry.
Only the great sky deity knows how we will make America great again, but lets start by making ourselves less cringe worthy in front of the mirror by giving up this silly silly sugar thing :) :) :)
It was nice meeting you at the grand opening of your clinic! ❤
Thank you @carmenbenitez141. Hope to see you around. 😄
Hey Doc, thanks for this experiment on yourself. Would never have thought, that 10 days are making that big of a difference... sooo fast. Thanks for showing us and I hope you will be fine again and you follow up on your health status later on.
I enjoyed seeing your before & after #'s. Examples like this are helpful. Yes weight gain happens quickly the older you get.
Perfect short form. The Standard American Diet is SAD.
I fell off track and was eating terrible for about 4 months. My dad passed so I was emotionally eating. I am back to fasting and eating lower carb and wow the energy I have is insane!
In the 70s, no one worried about fat and everyone looked great. I have put fat back in my diet, putting whole milk and half and half in my coffee, eating full-fat Greek yogurt and putting butter on the occasional potato. My blood sugar doesn’t spike, I eat 1/3 of a cup of yogurt and am satisfied, I feel full and it makes absolutely no difference to my weight. Lowered carbs though and no gluten and sugar. I feel good.
Thanks for taking a hit for Team Health Champions! Wow!
Every medical doctor, nurse, government agency, health care institution, and food manufacturer should view this video! Thanks for putting yourself in harm's way for the rest of us!
It is too much money in junk food. Remember, in the United States and in other westernized countries, is advantageous for people to eat this food because the stockholders and the rich even get richer. I had a girlfriend who's a nurse and she got reprimanded by her hospital for talking too much about nutrition after heart surgery. They want you to come back for another bypass surgery.
@@cleopatrajones2024 Hi Cleopatra Jones! I wholeheartedly agree, not just from the testimony of others, but from my own personal experience. Dr. Ekberg, Dr. William Davis, and many others, have been the real health care professionals that not only know what health is, but how it can be restored in those who've thought they were doing the right thing by complying with the so-called Standard American Diet. Everybody can get a piece of the "action" when the F.D.A., D.E.A., Food Manufactures, etc, all climb in bed with the A.M.A., the sole purpose of which is to "manage" illness, not cure it. Thank you for responding.
Thank you for making yourself a Guinea pig for a few days to prove the point of how absolutely horrendous SAD is to your health. A huge wake up call!
I used to do fasting in the past, with no real success. Once I discovered your videos I became able to understand the key points of metabolism and use them to manage for a successful fasting. Now I have lost 15 Kg, I wasn't really in a heavy weight zone, but most important i fixed the cravings for food and now I feel much much better.
Thank you very much Dr Ekberg, your videos are more than useful, they're educational. Regards from Italy.
I love how objective you are Dr Eckberg thanks for all the content . GOD bless you
I went to my former physician to get my thyroid meds renewed for the next year. I had to have fasting blood drawn for my lab test. I tried to, unsucccessfully, get her nurse to call me so that I could request that my INSULIN level be added to my blood test, so when I saw the physician, I asked that she order this and I would do another fasting blood draw. She REFUSED!!! She actually said….” I REFUSE to order those tests. I only order tests so that I can TREAT someone.” My mind was completely blown!! This is an M.D., an internist, and she would not help me to NOT GET DIABETES or any other disease or condition, but was only willing to throw the drugs or whatever at me AFTER I became ill. This, folks, is the state of our medical practice today. Absolutely shocking!!!
This i why I stated that she is now my FORMER physician!
She probably took all the covid shots too. Her career might be ending before long.
I hope that you find a good doctor.
It’s all about the money and greed in this country. Sad compromising our health for money.
Glad to hear that you kicked that doctor to the curb.
ULTA labs will pull anything you want, no doctor required.
Thank you , doc. I love this channel so much.
So glad Wife and I were nutritionally red-pulled about 6 years ago. Feel so bad looking in peoples shopping carts at the grocery store! When in doubt, do exactly the opposite of what the government/big-food wants you to do.
I dont know when it started but I’ve noticed ive started to consume more of nutrition related content since the past 3-4weeks. Nevertheless , it’s stills smthing i enjoy and actively trying to watch cuz it is high time that i start making chnages in my lifestyle.
Thankyou for this content, you git a new subscriber!
You are describing exactly what it feels like for me to eat healthy for 10 days.
Above and beyond the call of duty! I don’t envy you putting that awful slop in your body, but enormously admire your determination to educate and thereby save lives!
Hi Dr. Ekberg, would you consider doing content specifically on IF for women AND specifically for women with PCOS? I keep hearing that for women with regular cycles, fasting too long could be a stressor during certain periods of her cycle, but no one tells us exactly what to do without having to pay for a program. Alternately, I don’t know how such differences apply to women with PCOS who don’t have regular cycles (or cycles at all). Also, unsure if this is interrelated with adrenal fatigue, but I also heard that for those with adrenal fatigue, fasting too long is a bad idea.
If you could consider making content honing in on these three areas, it would be most appreciated. Thanks so much for all you do!
I recommend Dr Mindy Pelz’s “Fast Like A Girl” and the Dr’s RUclips channel. She goes over when to fast during cycle and for all types of situations.
Consider watching Dr. Mindy Pelz here on RUclips she has videos specifically addressing your concerns.
@@vivaciousom5347 Thanks, but I don’t really get the info I need from her in the kind of detail laid out by Dr. Ekberg. Furthermore, she just seems to direct people to her program for more detailed information. I am on a fixed income and cannot pay for all of that right now.
@@winter_s_44 Ahh. I see. The book is very recently published. Maybe it’s at the library. I love Dr Eckberg, too. Have watched him for years.
@@vivaciousom5347 Yeah, I considered her book, but if I am not a huge fan of her explanations/communication style in videos, not really willing to buy her book. I like the way Dr. Ekberg explains things, it resonates with me more. If he did content on this to where I felt I had a good foundational understanding of how to proceed, perhaps I could read content from others to fill in some gaps. But her content doesn’t resonate for me so it doesn’t inspire me to purchase anything from her. I learn by being able to close my eyes and see the linear story laid out in my mind based on how you’re presenting info. I simply can’t with how she lays out info. But thank you for your responses!
very SAD these were the results i was expecting. Thank you for the very informative video.
Oh my Dr.E, I know exactly what you are saying as I did it too! Just one day 2 weeks ago, I wanted to see if the keto I’ve been doing for almost 2 years now was really benefiting me. I know it was but had to do the comparison. My downfall is nothing more than Deans Peppermint ice cream! I ate the entire 1 &1/2 quart carton in 2 days!
Then I had some Angel hair pasta with butter and parsley, and the topper was naan bread!.I was getting to the point of not being able to afford all the keto and organic foods. The prices have jumped unbelievably high but I quickly gained 5 lbs and immediately went back to my keto lifestyle. I am still up 3 lbs but it is dropping. I won’t do that again. Thanks for todays video.
Breyers mint chocolate chip for me and I ate it the same way you did. I could not put it down and if I did I was back at it a short while later. I truly believe all this garbage does affect the brain and acts like a drug. I am an addict and I am fighting those cravings for the last couple of weeks with some success.
Dr. Ekberg is by far the best health teacher out there. Great presentation, clear explanation, real results. Glad I have found his videos.
I couldn't agree more. I don't think I could plug this channel anymore if he paid me. There is a wealth of information within.
Wow that was a huge commitment and I truly take my hat off to you for trying it! But the results in 10DAYS were so so scary…..😮 how go we get through to the people that need to see and understand this…. We are racing towards a real disaster! I am 66 so know that last 46years roughly have seen the explosion of “fast”food…. I really appreciate your knowledge and channel and above all education! I admit I am only 6 months in to a complete change , spurred on by 34years of chronic illness! My vision is to get as well as I possibly can…. Maybe for the first time in my entire life. So thank you for all your education , good luck for the next 4weeks. I will be interested to hear the results. Did you feel like a different person eating that way, sluggish and less motivated? Diane from England 🎉
What a stud. Demonstrating with his own body what to do, what not to do, and how to do it. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!!
I really appreciate your videos and what I'm learning from them. When I started watching about two months ago I resolved to make it a habit to take more control over my diet once again, as I was feeling sluggish from not having a routine (which was leading to bad food choices) . I always get off track in the winter months because the season change from fall to winter always hits me hard (I've always struggled with SAD) and the time change wrecks me, sometimes for months. For about a month now I have been eating all my calories within an certain time window that works best for me. I started extreme with a 4 hour window, then relaxed it until I found the sweet spot (an experiment) . I settled at eating all calories from noon until 8:30 PM. This forced me to make better food choices, knowing that I need to be wise during my feeding window (increasing focus on protein and healthy fats) . It also helped stabilize my blood sugar, and I never eat a snack out of fear, because my body has adapted to the feast and famine cycle. And if I get a craving or hungry I ignore it and it passes very quickly. I'm also no longer waking up tired because I can't eat right before bed and mess up my sleep cycle. The first week or so was very hard, but I got over the hump! You have taught me a lot about fats, which has been especially helpful. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned that demonizing fats caused people to greatly increase processed/concentrated sugar intake as a consequence. Even worse the sugars commonly being separated from fats and their natural complexity (high glycemic) . Growing up in the late 90's and early 2000's, the "butter is bad, cheerios are good" mentality was pumped into people. And the fat free/low calorie fad allowed companies to basically sell you less food and/or food stripped of it's nutrients a higher cost to the consumer, but at a lower production cost. Marketing genius, but one of the worst diets to ever hit the mainstream. I had a poor childhood with diet and dental hygiene and had most of my mouth reconstructed in my mid 20's (pulling teeth, titanium implants, fillings, etc...) . Until my mid 20's (I'm 34 now) I was clueless about the damage the American diet was causing. Also, I have never been overweight. I'm 5' 10" and I have never been over 145 pounds. Thin is not always healthy. I have a fast metabolism and have always been very active, yet sugar was slowly killing me. Thank-you for the great education and reminding me to keep moving forward amidst the rut I found myself in this winter.
Thank you for posting these details and looking forward to see how fast your body will bounce back. I’m ketovore for 1 1/2 years and down 50 lbs. plus my bloodwork is much improved! I no longer have the urge to cheat seeing how it makes me feel awful.
Man, this is like putting the wrong oil in your car engine, terrible. Recover fast Dr.
Thanks for taking one for the team, Dr Sten. I hope you get back to health soon.
I don’t eat as well as I should; but haven’t eaten fast food in about 15 years.The description of how the doctor felt after eating the SAD diet is how I felt, 15 years ago, after eating a McDonald’s fish sandwich. Was hungry and full at the same time.
I am glad you did that experiment so I don't have to. Good work for showing us the reality of junk food
My god dr. Ekberg I applaud your bravery! I’ve been on a keto diet for a year. I slipped from time to time like eating rice (I’m asian😅) or pasta when I went out with my family but that’s about it. One time I allowed myself eating ice cream with my kids and that day i ended up feeling miserable, anxious, grumpy etc. till the next day! I’m going to Vegas next month with my family for a vacation and I’m worried already 😅😢
Make some tasty keto treats to bring along !
I can suggest one place to eat in Vegas for you. Jason's Deli on Maryland Parkway has a spectacular salad bar for you and sandwiches that are very good for your family at a reasonable price.
Also on Maryland parkway is a place called Paymons that has Mediterranean cuisine. I'm sure you can get something low carb there. Example Kebab and a Greek salad. For the family I really like their Chicken Parm with penne.
@@herstudies5488 yes!! I was thinking of dragging some boiled eggs in my purse!😅
@@ld-23 we have to do what we have to do sometimes lol ! Good luck on your keto journey I’m just now transitioning into it. I focussed on cutting out added sugar and reducing simple carbs now switching into keto :)
Here is my story. I've been on keto and intermittent fasting nearly 2 months now, getting rid of all junk food, vegetable oils and alcohol as well. I usually walk around 5 km a day 3 days a week. Yes, I've lost about 6 kg, but that's all. I'm still hungry after hours of fasting (i know it's not hunger but you know what I mean), I still feel I need something to eat every 2-3 hours. I don't experience most of what majority of you describe. Almost no or slight improvements only in blood pressure, uric acid etc., with the honorable exception of the glucose level which decreased significantly (but it doesn't mean much itself.) I don't experience better memory or improvement of my cognictive functions whatsoever. I'm struggling to learn a new language just as I was 2 months ago. I'm also trying to get rid of my atopic dermatitis which I know is related to the inflammation and ill guts, especially liver and bowel. But still no improvement. All in all, it has almost no effects on me with the exception of a slight weight loss.
Your body need more time for regeneration. 1 year minimum.
The best "side effect" of my five-year real food diet is that I can no longer eat a chocolate bar or a small bag of potato chips, they just make me sick. I can't imagine ever going back to junk food again.
Same. I feel nauseous immediately if I eat a highly-sweet or vegetable oil-laden snack. I can’t do it.
Wow that is literally what I ate one day. Some McDonald's and a 6 pack of soda in one day! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for the information that you provide. I've been able to get healthier these past 6 months because of it❤
NOTIFICATION SQUAD REPORTING IN
AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS DR. EKBERG THANK YOU
Thank you @lgh445 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
He really goes out to get his pt to us. Such a great guy.
I respect you Dr for even being able to do this. With what I know now, I wouldn’t even want to take a risk of slipping back into my old ways and filling myself back up with junk.
I have been raised in France and I have to say I am very grateful that it taught me how to feed myself properly. Our diet was mostly Mediterranean and even as a child I was very aware that fast-food was to be a very occasional treat and nothing else.
Tack för den videon! Jag är ingen amerikan och verkligen ingen anhängare av den amerikanska standarddieten. Den här presentationen fick mig att noggrannare än förut hålla koll på vad jag sätter i mig.
For the greater good. Thanks doc.
Thank you @jacobmoorman2720. I'm doing a serious reset in the month of March. I trust my body to bounce back 😄
Thank you for reminding us WHY we are eating so strangely for our culture! I am shocked that 10 days could make SUCH a difference! And I did that for decades! Now I am so much better! Thank you again!
My diet isn't too bad compared to the regular American, but I still have a long way to go.
No alcohol, limited caffeine, breakfasts rich in protein and fat, no soft drinks. Two meals a day because I'm generally not hungry until the evening. Just those changes made me feel infinitely better.
am I the only one who finds these videos strangely addictive?
Enlightenment releases similar hormones to commonly known addictive compounds and practices. What makes us feel good can be addictive, especially if we tend to lack such moments. Take care.
Can you please tell us your opinion on the study they’ve done on erythritol? A lot of sweetners I’ve used for fat bombs and the Zevia soda I drink (all from your recommendations) contain this. Is it still safe to consume at any quantity? Thanks for the informative videos 🙏
Dr Eric Berg says safe up to 50mg
Sorry, 50grams
I believe he already has a video discussing all of the artificial sweeteners. Just look up "Dr. Sten artificial sweeteners".
I'm pretty sure Dr. Ekberg says its okay in moderation. Moderation to me means not every meal..not even everyday. Maybe once every couple of weeks or less. I you feel like you need it all the time then you still had sugar cravings. May be best to avoid it if that's the case.
Look up Thomas DeLauer’s recent vid on this “study”.
This video is pure gold ❤. My doctor has no idea about health markers and nutrition.
My good friend is a proud Vegan. For “health reasons” she says. We politely talk very little about our diets. I am a Carnivore for the last 6 months and was Keto for a couple of years and low carb for a year before. She looks like she is about 6 or 7 months pregnant. We both say “everyone is different and you have to do what is best for you” I can plainly see that her diet is not best but she doesn’t see it. I am sad that she doesn’t want to know anything but the bad info from doctors and government. I’m an 80 year old woman and not overweight. (anymore)
Eventually she will start to lose her teeth, the color in her skin, collagen and her hair will thin a lot. Long-term veganism is heII on a woman’s body. I am scared for your friend.
To me, going veggan (eggs + low carb veggies) once a week is very appealing, but daily vegan is not, the very idea of strict veganism makes me ill.
I'm vegan since 5 years and i have a normal weight, look younger than other people my age, be strong and healthy. You can go on a nutrious vegan diet, or you can eat vegan crap.
Vegan can be very healthy if you are intentional about it. Also very easy to be massively malnourished if you just eat the vegan processed junk all the time. Been vegan almost 2 years now and nearly in the best shape of my life
@@jetsfanjordan6548 Eating sugar cubes is vegan. I'll stick with paleo-keto.
This has been my diet for the past 22 years and dont even know where to start to change it
did you begin to change? how are you doing now?
I'd like to know what your daily menu was vs. your standard menu. Clearly the foods you ate were harmful. It would be helpful to viewers so we can compare what we eat. I'd also like to know how you feel about the cravings to eat you had right after going back to your standard diet. Did the junk food change your discipline temporarily?
The Feast via Insulin feedback point at 20:20 is brilliant. Thanka for conducting this (horrific) informative trial. Very illustrative. Passing to friends & family.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you again for these very informative videos. I enjoy your humor in these videos as well 😆
I have been following you about 2 years now and I feel so much better in my body following your suggestions for diet. Plus I have lost about 30 pounds over that time too! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you dr ekberg for posting all these videos.
I tried the fasting suggested although not in the most optimal way, i managed to lose 10kg in just 2 months. I’m going for another 5kg while also going to lift some weights to increase my strength.
I have also greatly limit fast food intake which also helps alot, as well as taking the absolutely disgusting ACV.
Thank you once again.
The clothes shrinking bit got me laughing hard… took me a while to get it 😂
At a given point during this video, you said that you felt "ashamed" for having put on some weight and growing a little beer belly.
While it's a totally understanable and human feeling, you just shouldn't.
If anything it just shows you are a normal human being. Wich means we also can have hopes, if we work hard enough on it.
Plus it partly happened while doing some tests on yourself, so that you can deliver us valuable informations.
Since December 2022, I've lost 13kgs / 28,5 lbs, feel much better, have more energy , and generally speaking live a better life (the diet change is part of a much bigger lifestyle change). I don't always manage to keep a perfect keto diet, but I'm leaning forward it and manage to strictly feast/fast without much efforts.
It's all thanks to you and Dr Jamnadas.
I feel most grateful for what you are giving us, and wouldn't dare mock you for having an extra from time to time.
Please let us know how your health is doing after the next 4 weeks. I hope you can get back to baseline easily and quickly!
