I have had a lifetime struggle with carbs. As I began fasting,I’m found some easier to give up or reduce than others. Using some kombucha for a few days helped break the cravings. My biggest area of challenge that wash left after that was my tea. I like my hot tea sweet. I realised the taste was more important to me than the quantity consumed. So, sipping on a sweet two ounces of tea as opposed to a sweet 6 ounces of tea is very satisfying for me. I get the same level of sweetness and satisfaction since it was never about hunger anyway. Also sweetening lemonade with frozen blueberries for a lemonade smoothie is super delish. I have been tol sourdough bread is a good substitute for bread, so I switched over plus cut it down to half. Chopped salad I find very satisfying-more than tossed and I am able to consume more salad that way.
I follow all of your videos. I love your delivery. you speak at relaxed pace, you provide charts w bulletins, you are genuine and well informed. Thanks thanks thanks

Hello doc, I am Antara from India. Your guidance on intermittent fasting has helped me immensely. I have type 2 diabetes and obesity too but within a month after following you My blood glucose has gone down and lost 3 pounds already. You just don't know how blessed I feel thinking my decade old T2 diabetes can be reversed now. 😇
Thank you Antara Mohanta. I really appreciate hearing that. T2D and insulin resistance are simply adaptations that can be reversed. Congratulations on your success. Keep it up. 😄
I don't think Dr. Ekberg will mind if I tell you about a RUclips channel called Beat Diabetes! You will meet Dennis Pollock who will give you so much inspiration and entertainment!!
98 days of whole food, intermittent fasting, and keeping my daily calories below 1800. Although I didn’t weigh myself at the start, I had weighed in at 225 a couple weeks prior. This morning I was 184.6👍 Thanks Doc!!
@Trevor Smith Hundreds of generation before us. Honestly, dont need to overthink this eating thing; keep it simple and dont get overburden with the details because these advice are just one way to look at food. This is a very Western scientific way of analyzing nutrition and it would be silly to think that's the only side of the coin. As long as youre eating whole food and satisfies you then youre well on your way to good health.
Been following this advice for 6 months! Lost 9+ kilos, feel great! Just stay away from sugars! Bread, potato, French fries, pizza , pasta, cake , rice --yes it's difficult but It's worth it! I feel really good! I just take lemon water in the mornings and I don't eat till after mid day! Stay with the veggies and salads! Brilliant!
@@glenjaques5581 Worthed, but at a price. And eating lots of nuts and avocados to gain weight is downright boooring. I have tried this. Not appetizing to me the "healthy fats" You can only eat so much.
I switched over to the right food like the list you have mentioned. It’s crazy I used to eat mostly carbs and I felt like i was getting big and always tired 😪 . I’ll be honest, it took me sometime and effort to switch over to real food, now I have energy all day, sleeping much better, mental clarity and appreciating the outdoors/nature . I’m loving how I feel everyday
Thank you for making these videos. I just love your simple and direct approach at explaining the foods we eat. I'm 57 and always ate whatever, my mother is European and raised us on homemade food so that helped. But just like you said we end up eating unhealthy processed and fast food due to "life". I've finally changed my diet completely and started losing weight and feeling better almost right away. Instead of saying "I'm on a diet" for me, it boils down to what and how much I eat. It took me a long time to educate myself and much determination to reach this point. Hasn't been an easy road and I can now see why obesity is such a problem. My heart goes out to all who suffer from it. Thank you kind sir.
Dr. Ekberg i cannot thank you enough for your healthy eating videos. By listenin to you (and a few others) i have lost over 60 pounds in about 4-5 months. Went from a BMI of 32. Down to 23. Weight 220-230 down to low 160's. Male, 5'10" . Saw doctor last week, he told me to keep it up. His last words, 'I like treating healthy patients. I was very unhealthy A1C over 6, reduced 2 months ago 5.7, no meds, 70 years old. My age was guessed as 48 last week! I bet my A1C will be in normal range next wk 2/8 when I see my endocrinologist. I will post it. Keto & OMAD. Very effective. Waist down from 40 inches to 32+. Thank you.
just started keto/OMAD 6 weeks ago and I love it... it keeps me busy and I love cooking.... bit obese for years now my glucose went down very fast... pre D2.... And lost 30 pounds in no time....while eating all those goodies... Never would have hoped there was a diet where you can eat all that meat and sauces... I love sauces... and cheese... thanks for changing my life.. from Spain
Wow you have changed my life! Thank you!! I have followed your advice for the past year and everything has changed for me! Lost 35 pounds, off all my diabetic meds I've been taking for years! All my labs are great! I feel good and exercise regularly, I'm more active now then ever! And all because of your vast knowledge!!! Thank you, Thank you!! Shona
At age 47 I was 187 lbs, 6 ft tall, active, lots of walking at work and at home, and a pretty low body fat percentage as measured at local college. But I was living on a fast food diet. Then I married a wonderful woman, and moved in with her and her widowed mom, who thought with a man in the house for the first time in fifteen years every day should be a Thanksgiving meal. I quickly gained 25 lbs, and then put my foot down and said no more big meals every single day. But I was still a sugar and nicotine addict back then. Gradually my belly fat and weight increased, reaching just under 260 before I wised up, quit smoking, cut out all soft drinks, cake, cookies, pie, etc But it was too little too late; I had a ten-year-old beer belly, despite drinking absolutely no beer for the past twenty years. With great effort at age 70 I lost from 259 to 235, all belly fat while gaining some muscle through exercise machines and some light free weights.. I hit a plateau where nothing I did for over two months moved the scale weigh-ins either direction at all. Then I discovered first Dr Ekberg, next two long YTs about fructose as poison and the metabolic reasons why that is true. Today I am on a new quest and have new tools, thanks to Dr Ekberg, to reach my goal of becoming sustainably under 200 pounds sometime in the next year or so. Thanks for giving me tools and hope.
It's a life saving video! Thank you so much! I've been doing IF with low carbs since Dec and I felt way better! I was 130 lbs down to 117 lbs. I am 4'11" height! My Hands numbness it's gone! I don't feel craving no more during IF. I thanks God that I found your video last year that helps me what to do with my hands numbness! Kudos to you!
I stopped eating sugar and that stopped me having this "always hungry" feeling. I dropped weight from 113KG to 90KG, and all I did was avoid Sugar. I think that automatically, because I wasnt eating sugar, I tended to eat more around meals and not snack in between. I think that is why I dropped weight so rapidly.
A month ago I was in the hospital for 3 surgeries with a kidney stone stuck in the ureter tube. I was put under total anesthesia 3 times and had a stent placed into the kidney. An unexpected side note to this was that I was also diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The idea being that I cut out ALL sugar and processed flour associated carbs. It reminds me of the same principles as the “Atkins” diet - which I lost quite a bit of weight on in my 20’s(I’m now 63). I’m not so much looking toward that angle of it at this time but from the standpoint of it benefitting my diagnosis now. I enjoyed the fact that I could eat all the things I loved to eat most of all- bacon ,eggs, animal flesh meats, true meat lunch meat meats like shaved hams and roast beef, etc. I was now turned of lost by the fact of ingesting hyper processed , “ chemicalized” additives and severly altered foods that went against my intuition now. It is a solid fact that it requires diligent label reading and paying attention. For example , the average bologna is composed of fillers that are a grain derivative in nature. So dont assume that meat products are strictly solid meats, even baked deli hams may have a sugar glaze coating. There are many ways to diversify protein intake strictly, it suits my preferences very well. Im still working on my exercise regimen more next more.. baby steps, dont putt tons of pressure on yourself or you will sabotage the entire focus.
Hello Dr. Sten, I stumbled upon this channel and been following it for little more than a month. Needed to change my diet and lifestyle as put on a ton of weight sitting home without much exercise and eating all those carbs and sugars. Thank you for the simplicity and scientific explanation of how food really works and how to get healthy again! I have lost 15 pounds in little over a month and look forward to losing another 20 to get back in shape! So thank you!
I can't tell in a month that I have lost any wt. I do so badly want to! I'm disabled, with limited mobility so I can't effectively exercise. So happy for you!!! Good job!
NGL I can't stand peppers cooked. Red onions are best raw too except if done over open flame. Red onion, bacon, Iceberg lettuce and mayo are my perfect sandwich
Hi all, I live in Barbados very small Island in the caribbean very beautiful we get alot of foriegn foods yes we have locally grown foods. When it comes to food variations its limited lots of carbs mostly chemically grown so are our locally grown animals free range and grass fed is not high on the agenda. I have been doing intermitten fasting(which i wasnt doing corretly) now I am on omad for the last week I have been doing meats, eggs, tin tuna, tin sardine and toss salad(lettuce,tomatoe,cucumber and apple) i dont think it is sustainable for me financially but I'm trying. I lost 16lbs and ton of inches(dont know how much but my clothes falling off) wish me luck. Thanks
Dr Ekberg, you are absolutely brilliant! You explain the entire background of every topic and communicate so authentically and effectively. I have shared your channel with at least 20 of my friends. You are one of the few doctors on RUclips that have helped me lose 26lbs and filter through the myths in the nutrition world ☺️☺️ My top health foods are beef, bacon, eggs and butter❤️
Thank you The 5 Minute Body for that feed back and for for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up!
Dear Dr ekberg, Always a pleasure and Informative to watch your health Videos, I have a personal Request is there a sort of staple diet for stage 5 kidney failure people 😀 thank you Shalom
Thanks you very much Doctor. I am writing from somewhere in Africa and your brilliant teaching about the knowledge of the human body and true food science helped me to reverse: 1) type 2 diabetes; 2) fatty liver; 3) Kidney ; 4) Enlarged Prostate. I am 54 years old and have been on BP medication for 12 years now and the above complications happened just 2 years ago and I have managed to reverse all those and stablize my BP in less than 1 year. Yes coming from Africa, I know how *modern eating* meaning processed food is slowly killing us. Thanks once again, you are my Champion along with @Dr. BERG (😃 Berg vs. Ekberg). Be Blessed 🙏🙏🙏
After watching your video, I follow now Keto diet for a month . I stopped eating sugar, carbohydrates ( rice & bread). I do intermittant fasting 14- 16 h. And 30 min - 1 h walking 3 times a week. Within one month I lost 6 kg ..My total cholesterol reduced from 284 to 202. Triglyceride went down from 220 to 115. And LDL from 197 to 130. My liver enzyme ALT declined from 90 to 22. Thanks to Keto diet and intermittant fasting , I didn't need to use medicine( Statin) for my high cholesterol. Thanks .💞
Thank you Dr Ekberg for your wealth of knowledge, and encouragement. I began my clean eating 3 weeks ago. I rarely eat breakfast, so I intermittent fast. By stopping high carb intake so quickly I of course felt weak and a weird kind of foggy headed almost headache. But I knew it would pass. I lost 5lbs the first week, mostly water weight from inflammation! I could tell I was really inflamed in my legs, fingers, face, (a pair of sunglasses I couldn’t wear before had felt too tight I can wear now!) at 3 weeks I have now lost 81/2 lbs. if I want a sweet treat I hold off until after dinner. Then it’s a piece of fruit, or I make my own popsicles, put fruit in my Ninja. Sometimes ripe banana and Tbl of cocoa, Or blueberries and a little pineapple juice, I add heavy whipping cream if I want it to be a little more like ice cream popsicle. still going to experiment with other natural ingredients. For my coffee I use just heavy whipping cream (read label, beware some have additives) and sometimes also add a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
Great channel and info. I grew up eating “heathy”, as far as Americans are concerned. And still always felt under-nourished. These tips are great. And while come to know and do most of these tips through years of reflection and trial/error, it’s refreshing to hear a doctor’s take and hear it’s not crazy to think 90% of “Normal” store food isn’t food at all.
I love how informative your videos are Dr. Ekberg. You have completely changed how I view my health and taking charge of what I put inside my body. The tools you’ve given us all to live healthier lives without meds are invaluable. Thank you so so much for all that you do. The Lord will bless you for the work that you are doing. Be blessed.
So very true! My life has turned around since I found him and started eating only the foods he recommends. Can't wait to see after another month if my fatty liver has improved per labs.
When you mentioned the red necks 😂😂 I laughed. Thanks for clarifying that deli meats are good for you because my family is Italian and we have always eaten excellent quality deli meats. Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world. Also in Italy we eat rabbit, it’s actually very good.
Yes! I too can confirm, after eating around 50 of your listed food items that they taste so good and cereals and sweet things taste just too much. More great advice, thank you 😊
I'm 61 6' 6" tall and have no major ailments. I now weigh 230lbs. I lost 40lbs in 3 months I have 30 more lbs to go. I am using the tools Sten speaks about: OMAD and long term fasting based on good real food for loosing weight. Once I was Fat adapted long term fasting is super easy for me. I have decided that it was time for me to use Sten Ekberg's advice to avoid diseases before they occur. In my case I have to stress how everything Sten says about fasting applied to me. Feeling mentally focused during long term fasts (1-14 day fasts) is mind bending. Once you realize that the human body has a big fuel tank, you do not need to top of your tank every 3 hours. I Started out with a 3 day fast, then I did OMAD for two weeks, then I did a 7 day fast, then OMAD again for 2 weeks, then I did a 14 day fast. Wow do the pounds come off fast (1.5 lbs per day). I sent a request for video to your website on (Good body Fat Vs Bad body fat?). Hope you can do a video on that.
It's funny that you mentioned the sugar taste buds changing... I have been almost 2 years CANE sugar free, but every once in awhile I "remember" how delicious a cup of hot cocoa tasted with sugar. Inevitably I make the mistake to add a teeny tiny half of a teaspoon of sugar to my hot cocoa and now I have to dump the entire cup! 😂 Sugar is so disgusting that I literally can't handle it in my chocolate but I still remember how delicious it tasted and I try it every time haha!!! 🤮🤣
I actually made myself some chocolate syrup last night to go on top of strawberries. I melted a teaspoon of coconut oil and then I added cocoa powder just enough to melt it down, added a few granules of salt and a couple eyedroppers full of vanilla extract and poured that directly on top of my strawberries. (By the way it's delicious). To me it was so sweet it was incredible because it was on top of strawberries which are already so sweet I can barely handle them. I made the mistake of telling my husband to take a bite... I got the craziest look out of his face 😂🤣
@@gmrbowden2133 Surprised u can find sweet strawberries this time of year. Winter in Oregon (USA), they aren't worth eating...no flavor at all, unless u buy frozen.
@@staceykersting705 I'm in Florida... I'm guessing that's why??? Idk... I can't grow weeds if my life depended on it... My job is to eat them lol. I thought strawberries 'were' in season in the winter tho 🤷♀️
This is particularly good. We have been doing Keto sometimes very well/sometimes not so well since middle of 2019. Lots of value and learning in every way. But after watching this (several times!) I am encouraged to break out of a few ruts. Also the first 10!minutes are so encouraging as an overall review of what is important. And why. So well organized! It makes me excited to go at this lifestyle with more hope.
Thank you. I found an avocado mayo is Chosen classic mayo. The best no soybean oil and artificial ingredients. I have been using it for over 5 years. I lost 35 pounds and I reversed my type 2 diabetes. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr Ekberg. This was truly a revelation. I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. With a healthy diet, I can remission all of the above. Doing my 15k steps/day as well.
I was here thinking this man has the most Swedish name of all, and he hints to Swedish crayfish party and I realized he has some connections. Then at 20:00 when mentioning Krusbär, I was like "Yep, he's definitely a native speaker". Tack för ditt innehåll, detta är helt underbart. En del känns uppenbart, men samtidigt så är det många uppenbarelser. Repetition är den goda inlärningens moder, sägs det.
I'm working my way toward a full Carnivore diet. I scramble a couple of eggs in the morning for breakfast most mornings. I was doing it last week and opened the fridge and noticed the Greek Yogurt in there, so I pulled it out and put a dollop on my eggs as I was scrambling them. HOLY COW!!! It's the only way I scramble eggs now. DEEEEE-licious!!!!
Hi Dr. Ekberg, have you ever thought about making a video on advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs)? Also, maybe a video on the synergistic effects of certain foods (like turmeric and black pepper for example)? I have been enjoying your videos on dieting, as you seem very knowledgeable and present information in a digestible manner.
love all of your content. I've been following and applying. thanks. Dr. Pradip Jamnadas has awesome content as well. plus Dr. Jason Fung. and more. All of you... have saved my life. Love your slide shows. you make it simple and easy to follow.
Just changed my diet two days ago, and as an ex heavy carbo-centric eater, I was so confused about what to eat. So this video helped too much, thank you. I have been dealing with fatigue for quite a long time. Especially after meals, it's an incredibly difficult thing for me to somehow manage to work or not to sleep. I came across your channel on youtube recommendations, and I'm watching your videos for about a month now. After a couple of videos (I believe it would be fair to call them lectures as well, I feel like I'm back at college and learning a lot :D), I gradually realized that I'm very likely having some issues with insulin. Considering my past dietary habits and the family history with diabetes, I might already be a diabetic, too. The overwhelming feeling I got to endure last week after meals was a tipping point for me. I immediately cut off the sugar and stuff like bread. Will go to see a doctor to know what exactly is happening, but I feel much better since the last two days and had none of that disturbing feeling again. Thanks again so much, you already helped me a lot. You are a true Maester, and you look increadibly healthy and fit, and that tells a lot about what you are doing on this channel :) Wish you a long and merry life!
don't go too fast. I read that this is one of the signs when you first start doing this is fatigue. I lost at first 5 pounds a month, then it slowed down to like 3 per month and lost 25 pounds over an entire year. just be patient. if you are too strict on yourself and try to do it too fast, then you might give up on it. I think pizza and chips was the hardest thing to not eat so much. I was so used to snacking on fritos, potato chips, tortillia chips etc then following with ice cream with all the sugar in it. I think key to the chips thing is to just not have them around. dont' keep them around. and I found some fantastic ice cream made with whole cream, eggs, everything but they use a sugar substitute so almost no carbs. its called "enlightened" look for the ones that say keto on the label. dark chocolate is fine and if you really want something crunchy and salty you can eat chicharones, pork rinds fried. it's amazing
Thank you Dr.! I have watched this several times and will continue to use your videos for they are healing me! Since strictly limiting my diet I no longer suffer with my chronic IBS, GERD, and even the severe acid reflux with nocturnal aspiration!!! My main cheat is a coconut based creamer with sugar in it. I was so addicted to the name brand French vanilla creamer for coffee and teas. I am now drinking my coffee black like I used to before they came out with all that flavored creamers. And I truly enjoy my dark green leafy lettuces fried in bacon drippings and topped with vinegar and lemon juice. Also salads with olive oil with lemon and vinegar. Been enjoying half an avocado a day and eggs daily. One thing that makes me sad is that I watch several farm/homesteader family channels on youtube and see them feeding most of their animals grains daily. They do slow that down during the summer when grasses are available. But some just don't have room for animals to graze on, so they are grain fed. So they aren't truly natural foods once processed. And they tend to grain finish their cattle for 2 weeks before they send them to freezer camp. They must not know how bad that is for themselves as the consumer of their own animals. I do miss many foods, but do not miss all the side effects they were unknowingly causing me!
Hello Dr. Ekberg, I saw your excitement and enthusiasm as you spoke about the sauces and crème fraiche. Would absolutely love to see a video of you making one of your fave meals. Thanks so much for the incredible information and kindness with which you educate the public. Everyone should see your videos! I’ve become a bit of a spokesperson with my family regarding IF and HFLC. This video really helps with some of those inevitable questions about ‘what to eat’. Thank you!!
Thank you Doc. For all the information in your blogs. I've gained many bennifits listening to your lectures. In 4 months I've reduced my weight from 205 lbs to 190 lbs.
Hi, and greetings from Norway. Thank you for making these very informative videos. Finally I fell like I'm actually understanding some things about food, health and the body. A few weeks now my family has tried low(er) carb diet and intermittent fasting and there seems to already be some benefits. We have to watch out though, because we do not need to loose weight so we need to eat enough. A couple of things have proven to be very hard to adjust to; Cutting grain entirely, getting hold of "proper" animal products like grass-fed and with no preservatives (close to impossible it feels like) and lastly almost all dairy is pasteurized(mandatory by law)
This video along with all of Dr. Ekberg's are amazing but the "Unfamiliar" part of this particular video struck me as the most important advice that can help someone ease into this healthy food life we need. He mentions gradual and I feel this is so true. Pick a day and try 1 new experience whenever you can and keep trying whenever you can and slowly it will get you there.
I've decided to listen to my body. I've cut out sugar, all carbs, and I'm in my fifth week of carnivore with IF. I'm only reintroducing non starchy veg at some point if I actually enjoy eating them. I have never liked leafy green veg and I think there might well be a reason (oxalic acid) for this. Not keen on nightshades either. The only veg I can put my hand on my heart and say that I really enjoy are the allium family veg. Onions, leeks, garlic etc, and cruciferous broccoli and cauliflower. I quite like beets, but I don't want the carbs or the oxalates. I think listening to your taste buds when it comes to vegetables makes sense. That bitter part of your palate is there for a reason. Supertasters maybe feel this more strongly than others. But, once you take sugar out of your life, and your taste buds have adjusted, nothing which tastes so bad can be good for you, imho.
Dear Doctor, I found your videos 2 months ago and have dropped 10 kg by following your advice (82 to 72 kg). I still have 5 kg to go to get to my ideal weight (I'm 180cm). Hoping to get some better liver function response on my next liver function test. Thank you for all of your advice. You are a life saver.
Wow great, I am also 180cm long but I weigh 87kg. I am going to try Intermittent fasting and Keto diet fron today. Let us hope if I am able to reduce it to below 75kg.
Hi i am vivek from india ,my a1c was 6 one ago and body weight is 91 kg but after wathing your video i have lost 12 kg in one month and my fasting before was 110 and pp was 210 but now my fasting blod sugar is around 82 to 85 and pp is 111 to 125 and my blood pressures is under 120 ,i feel great by following your deit plan by ultra low carb wit high protien and high good fat deit, i only eat flax seed ,ground nuts ghee eggs chicken and lots of veggie thankyou dr i am never feel so happy in my life
Average youtube comment: 3 days since I've quit sugar and went low carb and already lost 1000 lbs, can run 600 miles in one clip, grew from 5'7 to 6'3 and can lift a school bus over my head like Peter Parker without strain....thanks Dr. Ekberg...will post my 30 Day results telepathically
That’s funny, but the good Dr has clearly helped untold people all over the world. I feel better after two weeks on sugar detox. Clothes are loose and no aches and pains I was feeling before the detox. The best thing happening for me though is my state of mind. I’m feeling happier than before. 😊
Second to comment. I so appreciate this!! Watching now! You are never afraid to name brands and the editing team who works on this made the videos appear like it is all in one go and it's like I am attending a short live lecture by someone who is definitely an expert on this field. Sharing your videos to family and friends as always
Thank you maya lang. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Thanks Dr. Ekberg I found a healthy dressing BRAGGS organic vinagarette. They have another kind too. Made of Extra Virgin Olive oil ACV and organic garlic etc. You can pronounce all the ingredients! Love it.
Thankyou for changing my life and makes so much sense I have been following you for 3 months and have adopted the lifestyle I have so much more energy and steadly burning belly fat. You and others like you are legends.
I ran a little experiment on myself Certainly following your nutritional education improved my health…. I also discovered….using my handy home BP monitor: Just Listening to your videos would drop my BP during anxiety spikes 🤣❤ ( not just the mental health ones….just any video) Thank You for the priceless deeply valuable work you offer into the Universe Free of cost…my Buddhist Heart bows in gratitude 🙏
I have lately been watching several teaching sessions and they are all fantastically enlightening and instructive. You are also a very good pedagogue so even I can understand complicated things in the body. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all! I have just changed my diet totally and looking forvard to a full recovery in my body. Må Gud som har skapat allt det komplicerade och fantastiska som du så beskrivande och noggrant undervisar om välsigna dig med allt gott genom sin Son Herren Jesus Kristus! Ha det så gott Sten! Mvh Michael från "landet lagom med sjukvård".😊
I have learned so much by watching videos on RUclips, especially Dr Ekberg. I've been doing keto (trying clean keto). In 3 mo time I lost 13 lbs. I was a sugar addict and love bread. (hard to give up) I've been watching all the videos (because of insulin resistance, asthma, kidney stones etc) I can find because my Dr doesn't tell me anything about what to eat and what not to eat...sad. Thank you Dr Ekberg 💓
My grandma interestingly enough ate a lot of carbs a day and lived to 96. She had all her teeth in perfectly healthy condition until her last day. She was healthier than many younger people until about 5 months prior to her passing. She got up at 7 AM each morning and ate every morning 1.5 slices of dark Rye bread with jam and a cup of coffee with milk. She then walked to the morning church and back (25 minutes) changed into her work clothes and walked to our huge fruit, veggie, nut tree, and flower garden (40 minutes) which she took care of every day. She would eat another slice of bread with some sausage mid-morning when working in the garden. The garden provided the family with a variety of vegetables, salads, fruits, berries and nuts, and flowers. For winter she would prepare fruits into marmalade and make sauerkraut and vegetables to stay over winter. Her main food was midday when she cooked veggies, potatoes and meat or fish. Wednesday and Sunday she had some cake midday. Afternoon she had a coffee and another piece of rye bread with margarine and jam. Dinner was rye bread, margarine a variety of veggies and different types of sausages. She would not eat anthing else until the morning. Her health how mentioned before was excellent until the year she died. She needed help with cleaning and other things in the last 5 months of her life and all of a sudden died from a very short infection on the day our son had his first birthday. I visited her 5 days before her passing and we were sitting at her kitchen table drinking a coffee and she told me about her late husband who died on the last day of the second world war. She had tears in her eyes when sharing memories. Is it not interesting that she would be so healthy and live so long with eating so much carbs? She was always slim and never had diabetes. Probably it was her moving so much and not eating between meals.
That's because carbs aren't bad! 😜 It's the seed oils predominantly and even stable saturated fat if consumed in excess and in combination with carbs that create insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is NOT excess sugar or glucose, the body can regulate that; it's excess fat floating around, especially unsaturated fat like oils that block glucose from entering the cells resulting in insulin resistance. 😜
Mayonnaise without Seed Oil..... 300g silken tofu 1 tbsp lemon juice ½ tsp apple cider vinegar ¼ tsp wasabi or ½ - 1 teaspoon mustard powder ⅛ tsp garlic powder ⅛ tsp sea salt
This video came into my life at the perfect time! Thank you!!! I’m going to rewatch this before I go grocery shopping tomorrow. You’re a lifesaver as always ❤️
Very well explained as always and nice overview to come back to. Regarding taste buds, yesterday I drank a glass of whole milk which I hadn't for months and I d swear it had sugar added to it, but it didn't ..., That's how much taste changes after 5 months of delicious keto and low carb eating. Keep going Dr. Ekberg, my nr. 1 resource for healthy lifestyle!
Not sure if it's available in your area. But we can buy raw milk here in AZ. Sprouts stores carry it. Taste so much different than pastured stuff. Feel healthy just sipping it.
1. Oreo’s 2. Ice cream with cookie dough 3. Doughnuts 4. Fries 5. Burgers with cheese, bacon, pulled pork and bbq sauce dripping out of the bun 6. Chips 7. Cake 8. Pie any type 9. Haribo 10. Nutella
This is one of the reason why I look forward to this day every week. Cause it's finally the day you share your informative videos again! Thank you as always Dr. Sten! Stay safe!
I just want to say how I am listening to your videos in car when going to work. I learned so much because of you and I am spreading that knowledge when and wherever I can. Thank you for your effort to make more people aware of how unhealthy we actually eat and how to actually change that to better. Greetings from Croatia.
When people say there is nothing left to eat without eating carbs, what they’re really saying is there is nothing prepared and readily available anywhere and any time. And they are right. The choice is super limited. But a little effort to prepare your own food is a small inconvenience for a good long healthy life. At least you don’t have to hunt for your food anymore.
I just started eating keto/clean this past November. Doing great after seeing your videos. One thing you mentioned about taste buds changing: I used to LOVE Coca Cola! Whether it was with burgers, pizza or almost anything. So, two weeks ago, I decided that I'd "treat" myself to a burger, fries and a coke at a local restaurant by me in LA. I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger, plain. Then I only ate the bottom part of the bun. After I was finished, I reached for my amazing Coca Cola, took one big sip and thought I was gonna vomit. Going in tasted wonderful. Lol. When I swallowed, I never tasted dirt but, I'd have to guess this is what it would taste like. I was SO disappointed for a moment before realizing the transformation that started to take place. Thank you for bringing us this knowledge about how to take care of ourselves.
So true. Classic Coke tastes straight up nasty and Diet Coke tastes like nothing really. You just feel the burn. Ridiculous how much I've spent on that crap.
I'm one of the rare people on this earth who has always hated the taste of coke even as a child. I could never understand how people liked it. To me it always tasted disgusting.
Dr Ekberg, thank you ever so much for creating this video. You have, just about, answered a question I posted on your last video about this very topic on my limited food option. You have listed so many than I can now look forward to having as my staple diet. All I need to do now is limit the foods that are high on vitamin K in order to balance my Warfarin's medication (blood thinners), to limit blood clotting issues. Thank you ever so much again sir. 😀
Dr. Sten Ekberg, thank you for this video. I like mayo and your recomendation fits in nicely to this preference. However, commercial mayo is typically made of rapeseed oil, which you warn against for good reasons like omega-6's and refining. Even 'bio' mayo that I can find locally (Poland) is made of rapeseed oli, or possibly sunflower oil which istn't much better. So the question is what good mayo do you recommend? I can't find mayo made of olive oil which would be free of excessive omega-6 and harmful refining, the only way to get it is rather troublesome self making of mayo (we only need so little of it and it can be stored only for so long), and another issue is rather intense taste of olive oil mayo compared to smooth taste of mayo based on other oils. I'd be nice if you could tell more about your preferred mayo and how you get around omega-6 in typical mayo. And thank you for all your great work you do for promoting healthy foods and lifestyle.
@@pawemackiewicz3010 I use half avocado half evo. Jus can't make a huge jar as sold in stores, the shelf life is max 3 weeks in the fridge. Tastes so much better than manufactured, which I refused to eat, homemade oh yes I eat that!!!
Peter from Warsaw Poland , thank you so much for your films which help lead a healthier life, I rely on organic eggs , sardines , herrings, walnuts and almonds , dates ( one a day ) dried plumes , avocado , onions and garlic etc . The big problem here is that we are not provided with info of how the animals we eat were fed. The other thing is the price of good food, I somehow try to balance getting more out of little available. What is your opinion about type of bread like Swedish WASA harder to bite but tasty I started relying on it some time ago.
Your videos are super addictive Dr. Ekberg. Actually getting all of this info broken down & learning the "why" I have some health issues makes me confident that my fasting & keto journey will become a lifestyle for the rest of my life. Thank you! Also, I live in NE Florida and really laughed out loud when you said "Rednecks", just wasn't expecting it, haha.
amazingly interesting ...a clear message to all those persons who are afraid to change their lifestyle for a healthier self ...a true precise guide to healthy mostly low carb foods...thanks as always Dr Sten Ekberg !!!
Don't give up on yourself. When I switched from Big Macs to Filet-O-Fish, I thought I had made a hugh step forward. And it was a hugh step for me. I had finally become Mindful of the impact of my lifestyle including diet. One day at a time. One new piece of information each day. Eventually, it accumulates into someone for which you can be proud.
I've been making my own mayo with olive oil for several years now, I've got used to the taste. At first I used refined olive oil but now I use extra virgin olive oil and I really like the taste.
cool! how about olive oil for salad dressing? have you tried any recipes for a good salad dressing. I'm at a loss for a good dressing, so I have to use my usual dressing reluctantly. Thanks!
@@borg386 i think with olive oil the most wonderful thing you can make is vinaigrettes, but sometimes i mix yogurt with olive oil and lemon, garlic or other spices/herbs optional. craving some as we speak ha!
if you want something super simple, i will tell you how us in balkans do it, we smother the salad with white cheese :) feta or any strong tasting, hard white like sheep or goat cheese works great
@@borg386 extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice is the simpliest dressing and it tastes so good on leafy green salads. Its also good with blanched broccoli and cauliflower. Do not forget to add a little bit of kosher salt. Enjoy! 🙂
Great video! I've learned new something today! But in honesty, i am a bit sad that you didn't include any fermented food such as kimchi or tempe, they're rich in nutrients and also good for your digestive system.
I am an 81 year old man and past the age of taking up cooking of a whole range of different foodstuffs. How many quality years is it likely to add to my life for the amount of time and effort to change my lifestyle. I have a sister who is one year older and she has basically given up cooking and gets pre-prepared meals delivered to her place, but I haven't gone to that level yet.. I do eat Rolled oats, Blue-Berries, Chia Seeds, Vegetables and Fish as my staples, but slip in a few of your non-preferred foodstuffs now and then.
I am sure I have watched your entire catalogue, very easy to follow sage advice :-) I started a low carb diet in late Aug 2021 at 126KG; by Dec 2021 I reached 100KG, woot woot!. I stopped eating sugar and bread as per videos and also cut down beer, pasta and rice: I am aiming to lose another 15KG over the next 6 months. I just need to cut down red wine and exercise more for better health. I am 60 years old now and I was walking the path to metabolic destruction :-P
@@SuperXaster calorie deficit ofcourse but you need to cut unhealthy things for health reasons, you wont be very healthy in a calorie deficit eating lots processed foods and chemicals so better is both ^^
I’ve switched to this type of eating in the last 6 months, Dr Ekberg is exactly right on the transition of your taste buds. I dreaded switching, now I love it! I eat tons of veggies, many stir fried in small amounts of Avocado or Extra Virgin Olive Oil and add in some small portions of good quality meat. So so good. Feel so much better!
@@BlackJesus8463 I just realized that I can’t use regular avocado oil either per one of his videos. Unless its virgin cold pressed, regular avocado oil like I get from Costco is no better than the other processed oils. Dang it!
Due to your excellent advice and videos I managed to lose 23 kilos in five months. Now I’m super knowledgeable on most foods and feel in full control of my own body weight.
I have been having digestive and gallbladder problems for a long time and when I ate what at the time was a normal meal (meat, veggie and some side like wild rice or potato or a pasta dish I would get nausea and upset stomach. Then I realized I am not handling starches well, especially flour and anything sweet. I used to have honey in my coffee . Now I drink it black with a little cinnamon in it. I eat less carbs and more veggies and good meat I can afford. Today in the morning I had chicken shredded coarsely and browned in a skillet with serrano pepper, I wrapped it in a lettuce leaves with some Mexican white cheese, it was so good. 6 hours later for my second meal I had a bowl of borshcht I made, chunks of grass fed beef , red cabbage, sauerkraut, carrot, beets, garlic and dill. No indigestion, no nausea, I feel so much better, fasting for the rest of the day. I have a question, it it OK during fasting to take few grams of EVOO or butter? I need some fat to keep my bile flowing so it wouldn't form gallstones which I got during a prolonged fast and didn't think of having some fat to prevent them from forming.
Great list! I have eggs a few times a week, scrambled in ghee, topped with cheese. Best meal ever, in my opinion. My body seems to agree, very satisfying. Easy to do OMAD, especially if I add a couple slices of avocado on the side.
Love macadamia nuts like you do Dr Ekberg have to limit them. They are my favorite and it’s the one item that keeps me from losing weight. Limit nuts if you want to get that weight off faster. It’s the crunch factor that we miss.
I’m in Texas and have never heard of a Tactical Assault Possum! I had to backup the redneck section and listen again. Most people I know that eat the animals in that section hunt or trap them. Thanks for the detailed list I’ve been trying to cut carbs and lacking variety.
as a good ol southern boy, i bout shot my coffee out my nose laughing so hard at ur "redneck roadkill" comment! thats hysterical dude! (& true! haha) ...always enjoy & learn somethin from ur videos, thanx doc
Dr Ekberg, thank you for the best source of info regarding eating, IF and Keto. You always present well and acknowledge areas you less certain about. I suspect you have lengthened many people's lives if they follow your advice.

I have had a lifetime struggle with carbs. As I began fasting,I’m found some easier to give up or reduce than others. Using some kombucha for a few days helped break the cravings. My biggest area of challenge that wash left after that was my tea. I like my hot tea sweet. I realised the taste was more important to me than the quantity consumed. So, sipping on a sweet two ounces of tea as opposed to a sweet 6 ounces of tea is very satisfying for me. I get the same level of sweetness and satisfaction since it was never about hunger anyway. Also sweetening lemonade with frozen blueberries for a lemonade smoothie is super delish. I have been tol sourdough bread is a good substitute for bread, so I switched over plus cut it down to half. Chopped salad I find very satisfying-more than tossed and I am able to consume more salad that way.
I follow all of your videos. I love your delivery. you speak at relaxed pace, you provide charts w bulletins, you are genuine and well informed. Thanks thanks thanks

Hello doc, I am Antara from India. Your guidance on intermittent fasting has helped me immensely. I have type 2 diabetes and obesity too but within a month after following you My blood glucose has gone down and lost 3 pounds already. You just don't know how blessed I feel thinking my decade old T2 diabetes can be reversed now. 😇
Thank you Antara Mohanta. I really appreciate hearing that. T2D and insulin resistance are simply adaptations that can be reversed. Congratulations on your success. Keep it up. 😄
You can make this a lifelong way of eating. Good for you.
Very good. Namaskar
I don't think Dr. Ekberg will mind if I tell you about a RUclips channel called Beat Diabetes! You will meet Dennis Pollock who will give you so much inspiration and entertainment!!
Congratulations!
98 days of whole food, intermittent fasting, and keeping my daily calories below 1800. Although I didn’t weigh myself at the start, I had weighed in at 225 a couple weeks prior. This morning I was 184.6👍 Thanks Doc!!
40 pounds in just a few weeks? That is VERY dangerous to do, be careful!!
Yeah!
Honestly, just eat whole foods including rice, beans, etc, but OMAD or twice a day. Be happy.
Awesome job Jeff!!!!! Thanks for sharing and encouraging us or maybe just me :)
@Trevor Smith Hundreds of generation before us. Honestly, dont need to overthink this eating thing; keep it simple and dont get overburden with the details because these advice are just one way to look at food. This is a very Western scientific way of analyzing nutrition and it would be silly to think that's the only side of the coin. As long as youre eating whole food and satisfies you then youre well on your way to good health.

Been following this advice for 6 months! Lost 9+ kilos, feel great! Just stay away from sugars! Bread, potato, French fries, pizza , pasta, cake , rice --yes it's difficult but It's worth it! I feel really good! I just take lemon water in the mornings and I don't eat till after mid day! Stay with the veggies and salads! Brilliant!
Do you have meats ?
What about sweet potato is it ban ??
Yep and turn into a skeleton like me. Heeeeelp need to gain weight on healthy diet.
@@rosariofrancis464that's exactly how I feel like a skeleton I'm wasting away on health foods
@@glenjaques5581 Worthed, but at a price. And eating lots of nuts and avocados to gain weight is downright boooring. I have tried this. Not appetizing to me the "healthy fats" You can only eat so much.
I switched over to the right food like the list you have mentioned. It’s crazy I used to eat mostly carbs and I felt like i was getting big and always tired 😪 . I’ll be honest, it took me sometime and effort to switch over to real food, now I have energy all day, sleeping much better, mental clarity and appreciating the outdoors/nature . I’m loving how I feel everyday
Dr. Ekberg, these kinds of videos should be included in the public school curriculum. Very helpful and informative!
Misinformation is a key part of Public Education - they won't tell the truth about history or anything else.
Should but won't ever be. The agenda of government is not health but dependency and depopulation
Yes
No.
AGREE.
Thank you for making these videos. I just love your simple and direct approach at explaining the foods we eat. I'm 57 and always ate whatever, my mother is European and raised us on homemade food so that helped. But just like you said we end up eating unhealthy processed and fast food due to "life". I've finally changed my diet completely and started losing weight and feeling better almost right away. Instead of saying "I'm on a diet" for me, it boils down to what and how much I eat. It took me a long time to educate myself and much determination to reach this point. Hasn't been an easy road and I can now see why obesity is such a problem. My heart goes out to all who suffer from it. Thank you kind sir.

Thank you. I always look for this comment 😄
Dr. Ekberg i cannot thank you enough for your healthy eating videos. By listenin to you (and a few others) i have lost over 60 pounds in about 4-5 months. Went from a BMI of 32. Down to 23. Weight 220-230 down to low 160's. Male, 5'10" . Saw doctor last week, he told me to keep it up. His last words, 'I like treating healthy patients. I was very unhealthy A1C over 6, reduced 2 months ago 5.7, no meds, 70 years old. My age was guessed as 48 last week! I bet my A1C will be in normal range next wk 2/8 when I see my endocrinologist. I will post it. Keto & OMAD. Very effective. Waist down from 40 inches to 32+. Thank you.
Go you! X
EXCELLENT i went from 230 down to 145. f 5"2"
You doctor is worthless….you’re healing yourself….he helped you accomplish nothing…and admitted it
just started keto/OMAD 6 weeks ago and I love it... it keeps me busy and I love cooking....
bit obese for years now my glucose went down very fast... pre D2.... And lost 30 pounds in no time....while eating all those goodies...
Never would have hoped there was a diet where you can eat all that meat and sauces... I love sauces... and cheese...
thanks for changing my life.. from Spain
Wow you have changed my life! Thank you!! I have followed your advice for the past year and everything has changed for me! Lost 35 pounds, off all my diabetic meds I've been taking for years! All my labs are great! I feel good and exercise regularly, I'm more active now then ever! And all because of your vast knowledge!!! Thank you, Thank you!! Shona
At age 47 I was 187 lbs, 6 ft tall, active, lots of walking at work and at home, and a pretty low body fat percentage as measured at local college. But I was living on a fast food diet. Then I married a wonderful woman, and moved in with her and her widowed mom, who thought with a man in the house for the first time in fifteen years every day should be a Thanksgiving meal. I quickly gained 25 lbs, and then put my foot down and said no more big meals every single day. But I was still a sugar and nicotine addict back then. Gradually my belly fat and weight increased, reaching just under 260 before I wised up, quit smoking, cut out all soft drinks, cake, cookies, pie, etc But it was too little too late; I had a ten-year-old beer belly, despite drinking absolutely no beer for the past twenty years.
With great effort at age 70 I lost from 259 to 235, all belly fat while gaining some muscle through exercise machines and some light free weights.. I hit a plateau where nothing I did for over two months moved the scale weigh-ins either direction at all. Then I discovered first Dr Ekberg, next two long YTs about fructose as poison and the metabolic reasons why that is true. Today I am on a new quest and have new tools, thanks to Dr Ekberg, to reach my goal of becoming sustainably under 200 pounds sometime in the next year or so.
Thanks for giving me tools and hope.
It's a life saving video! Thank you so much! I've been doing IF with low carbs since Dec and I felt way better! I was 130 lbs down to 117 lbs. I am 4'11" height! My Hands numbness it's gone! I don't feel craving no more during IF. I thanks God that I found your video last year that helps me what to do with my hands numbness! Kudos to you!
What does a normal day look like for you?
I stopped eating sugar and that stopped me having this "always hungry" feeling.
I dropped weight from 113KG to 90KG, and all I did was avoid Sugar.
I think that automatically, because I wasnt eating sugar, I tended to eat more around meals and not snack in between.
I think that is why I dropped weight so rapidly.

A month ago I was in the hospital for 3 surgeries with a kidney stone stuck in the ureter tube. I was put under total anesthesia 3 times and had a stent placed into the kidney. An unexpected side note to this was that I was also diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The idea being that I cut out ALL sugar and processed flour associated carbs. It reminds me of the same principles as the “Atkins” diet - which I lost quite a bit of weight on in my 20’s(I’m now 63). I’m not so much looking toward that angle of it at this time but from the standpoint of it benefitting my diagnosis now. I enjoyed the fact that I could eat all the things I loved to eat most of all- bacon ,eggs, animal flesh meats, true meat lunch meat meats like shaved hams and roast beef, etc. I was now turned of lost by the fact of ingesting hyper processed , “ chemicalized” additives and severly altered foods that went against my intuition now. It is a solid fact that it requires diligent label reading and paying attention. For example , the average bologna is composed of fillers that are a grain derivative in nature. So dont assume that meat products are strictly solid meats, even baked deli hams may have a sugar glaze coating. There are many ways to diversify protein intake strictly, it suits my preferences very well. Im still working on my exercise regimen more next more.. baby steps, dont putt tons of pressure on yourself or you will sabotage the entire focus.
Hello Dr. Sten, I stumbled upon this channel and been following it for little more than a month. Needed to change my diet and lifestyle as put on a ton of weight sitting home without much exercise and eating all those carbs and sugars. Thank you for the simplicity and scientific explanation of how food really works and how to get healthy again! I have lost 15 pounds in little over a month and look forward to losing another 20 to get back in shape! So thank you!
Hello sir can you guid how did you do these diet in i dia what did you consume?
I can't tell in a month that I have lost any wt. I do so badly want to! I'm disabled, with limited mobility so I can't effectively exercise. So happy for you!!! Good job!

Hi all, I live in Barbados very small Island in the caribbean very beautiful we get alot of foriegn foods yes we have locally grown foods. When it comes to food variations its limited lots of carbs mostly chemically grown so are our locally grown animals free range and grass fed is not high on the agenda. I have been doing intermitten fasting(which i wasnt doing corretly) now I am on omad for the last week I have been doing meats, eggs, tin tuna, tin sardine and toss salad(lettuce,tomatoe,cucumber and apple) i dont think it is sustainable for me financially but I'm trying. I lost 16lbs and ton of inches(dont know how much but my clothes falling off) wish me luck. Thanks
Dr Ekberg, you are absolutely brilliant! You explain the entire background of every topic and communicate so authentically and effectively. I have shared your channel with at least 20 of my friends. You are one of the few doctors on RUclips that have helped me lose 26lbs and filter through the myths in the nutrition world ☺️☺️ My top health foods are beef, bacon, eggs and butter❤️
Thank you The 5 Minute Body for that feed back and for for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up!
Dear Dr ekberg, Always a pleasure and Informative to watch your health Videos, I have a personal Request is there a sort of staple diet for stage 5 kidney failure people 😀 thank you Shalom
And you can tell he has ZERO agenda like many so called "nutrition experts." The worst are the "diabetes educators." What a joke.
Wow bacon 🥓 I didn’t know it’s my favorite in the whole universe!!!
Bacon is usually sugar cured, so be careful with the brand. A lot of hidden carbs there.
I buy pork belly, and cure it myself with hickory.
Thanks you very much Doctor.

THE BEST ADVICE ON YOU TUBE, AND UNDERSTANDABLE!
Thank you Dr Ekberg for your wealth of knowledge, and encouragement. I began my clean eating 3 weeks ago. I rarely eat breakfast, so I intermittent fast. By stopping high carb intake so quickly I of course felt weak and a weird kind of foggy headed almost headache. But I knew it would pass. I lost 5lbs the first week, mostly water weight from inflammation! I could tell I was really inflamed in my legs, fingers, face, (a pair of sunglasses I couldn’t wear before had felt too tight I can wear now!) at 3 weeks I have now lost 81/2 lbs. if I want a sweet treat I hold off until after dinner. Then it’s a piece of fruit, or I make my own popsicles, put fruit in my Ninja. Sometimes ripe banana and Tbl of cocoa, Or blueberries and a little pineapple juice, I add heavy whipping cream if I want it to be a little more like ice cream popsicle. still going to experiment with other natural ingredients. For my coffee I use just heavy whipping cream (read label, beware some have additives) and sometimes also add a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
Great channel and info. I grew up eating “heathy”, as far as Americans are concerned. And still always felt under-nourished.
These tips are great. And while come to know and do most of these tips through years of reflection and trial/error, it’s refreshing to hear a doctor’s take and hear it’s not crazy to think 90% of “Normal” store food isn’t food at all.
"There's a group of people called red necks"

The tools you’ve given us all to live healthier lives without meds are invaluable. Thank you so so much for all that you do. The Lord will bless you for the work that you are doing. Be blessed.
So very true! My life has turned around since I found him and started eating only the foods he recommends. Can't wait to see after another month if my fatty liver has improved per labs.
When you mentioned the red necks 😂😂 I laughed. Thanks for clarifying that deli meats are good for you because my family is Italian and we have always eaten excellent quality deli meats. Mediterranean diet is the healthiest in the world. Also in Italy we eat rabbit, it’s actually very good.
There is a lot of carb in that diet. A lot of white flour. So not what he is talking about.
Yes! I too can confirm, after eating around 50 of your listed food items that they taste so good and cereals and sweet things taste just too much. More great advice, thank you 😊
In Italy you can also add orange slices to a plain green leaves salad besides olive oil, vinegar and salt. It tastes amazing 😋

How are you doing today ?
Hello there
Thank you, I’ve lost over forty pounds in 155 days on the keto intermittent fasting diet. I share your videos with my peeps.
Non-starchy vegetables,
Broccoli cauliflower celery, leeks, asparagus onions, brussels sprouts, cilantro, cabbage parsley, artichoke and cucumber
I'm 61 6' 6" tall and have no major ailments. I now weigh 230lbs. I lost 40lbs in 3 months I have 30 more lbs to go. I am using the tools Sten speaks about: OMAD and long term fasting based on good real food for loosing weight. Once I was Fat adapted long term fasting is super easy for me. I have decided that it was time for me to use Sten Ekberg's advice to avoid diseases before they occur. In my case I have to stress how everything Sten says about fasting applied to me. Feeling mentally focused during long term fasts (1-14 day fasts) is mind bending. Once you realize that the human body has a big fuel tank, you do not need to top of your tank every 3 hours. I Started out with a 3 day fast, then I did OMAD for two weeks, then I did a 7 day fast, then OMAD again for 2 weeks, then I did a 14 day fast. Wow do the pounds come off fast (1.5 lbs per day).
I sent a request for video to your website on (Good body Fat Vs Bad body fat?). Hope you can do a video on that.
It's funny that you mentioned the sugar taste buds changing... I have been almost 2 years CANE sugar free, but every once in awhile I "remember" how delicious a cup of hot cocoa tasted with sugar. Inevitably I make the mistake to add a teeny tiny half of a teaspoon of sugar to my hot cocoa and now I have to dump the entire cup! 😂 Sugar is so disgusting that I literally can't handle it in my chocolate but I still remember how delicious it tasted and I try it every time haha!!! 🤮🤣
Kind of what happened to me. I added a creamer into my black coffee after getting used to just black coffee. I couldn't even finish it.
So true! I made some cocoa with just a small pinch of stevia. Hard to use a tiny enough pinch!
I actually made myself some chocolate syrup last night to go on top of strawberries. I melted a teaspoon of coconut oil and then I added cocoa powder just enough to melt it down, added a few granules of salt and a couple eyedroppers full of vanilla extract and poured that directly on top of my strawberries. (By the way it's delicious). To me it was so sweet it was incredible because it was on top of strawberries which are already so sweet I can barely handle them. I made the mistake of telling my husband to take a bite... I got the craziest look out of his face 😂🤣
@@gmrbowden2133 Surprised u can find sweet strawberries this time of year. Winter in Oregon (USA), they aren't worth eating...no flavor at all, unless u buy frozen.
@@staceykersting705 I'm in Florida... I'm guessing that's why??? Idk... I can't grow weeds if my life depended on it... My job is to eat them lol.
I thought strawberries 'were' in season in the winter tho 🤷♀️
This is particularly good. We have been doing Keto sometimes very well/sometimes not so well since middle of 2019. Lots of value and learning in every way. But after watching this (several times!) I am encouraged to break out of a few ruts. Also the first 10!minutes are so encouraging as an overall review of what is important. And why. So well organized! It makes me excited to go at this lifestyle with more hope.
Thank you. I found an avocado mayo is Chosen classic mayo. The best no soybean oil and artificial ingredients. I have been using it for over 5 years. I lost 35 pounds and I reversed my type 2 diabetes. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr Ekberg. This was truly a revelation. I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
With a healthy diet, I can remission all of the above. Doing my 15k steps/day as well.
You are such an amazing teacher and educator. Thanks so much for providing this and other information towards Keto and good health. Blessings to you!
I was here thinking this man has the most Swedish name of all, and he hints to Swedish crayfish party and I realized he has some connections. Then at 20:00 when mentioning Krusbär, I was like "Yep, he's definitely a native speaker". Tack för ditt innehåll, detta är helt underbart. En del känns uppenbart, men samtidigt så är det många uppenbarelser. Repetition är den goda inlärningens moder, sägs det.
I'm working my way toward a full Carnivore diet. I scramble a couple of eggs in the morning for breakfast most mornings. I was doing it last week and opened the fridge and noticed the Greek Yogurt in there, so I pulled it out and put a dollop on my eggs as I was scrambling them. HOLY COW!!! It's the only way I scramble eggs now. DEEEEE-licious!!!!
Will try that
Wow thanks for the tip!!!
Hi Dr. Ekberg, have you ever thought about making a video on advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs)? Also, maybe a video on the synergistic effects of certain foods (like turmeric and black pepper for example)? I have been enjoying your videos on dieting, as you seem very knowledgeable and present information in a digestible manner.
love all of your content. I've been following and applying. thanks. Dr. Pradip Jamnadas has awesome content as well. plus Dr. Jason Fung. and more. All of you... have saved my life. Love your slide shows. you make it simple and easy to follow.
God Bless U Dr. & the other outstanding Dr's. On U Tube!!!
Just changed my diet two days ago, and as an ex heavy carbo-centric eater, I was so confused about what to eat. So this video helped too much, thank you.
I have been dealing with fatigue for quite a long time. Especially after meals, it's an incredibly difficult thing for me to somehow manage to work or not to sleep.
I came across your channel on youtube recommendations, and I'm watching your videos for about a month now.
After a couple of videos (I believe it would be fair to call them lectures as well, I feel like I'm back at college and learning a lot :D), I gradually realized that I'm very likely having some issues with insulin.
Considering my past dietary habits and the family history with diabetes, I might already be a diabetic, too.
The overwhelming feeling I got to endure last week after meals was a tipping point for me.
I immediately cut off the sugar and stuff like bread.
Will go to see a doctor to know what exactly is happening, but I feel much better since the last two days and had none of that disturbing feeling again.
Thanks again so much, you already helped me a lot.
You are a true Maester, and you look increadibly healthy and fit, and that tells a lot about what you are doing on this channel :)
Wish you a long and merry life!
don't go too fast. I read that this is one of the signs when you first start doing this is fatigue. I lost at first 5 pounds a month, then it slowed down to like 3 per month and lost 25 pounds over an entire year. just be patient. if you are too strict on yourself and try to do it too fast, then you might give up on it. I think pizza and chips was the hardest thing to not eat so much. I was so used to snacking on fritos, potato chips, tortillia chips etc then following with ice cream with all the sugar in it. I think key to the chips thing is to just not have them around. dont' keep them around. and I found some fantastic ice cream made with whole cream, eggs, everything but they use a sugar substitute so almost no carbs. its called "enlightened" look for the ones that say keto on the label. dark chocolate is fine and if you really want something crunchy and salty you can eat chicharones, pork rinds fried. it's amazing
I would also recommend the you look up doctor ken berry and his carnivore diet. Then look at all the comments on his video.
Update?
Thank you Dr.! I have watched this several times and will continue to use your videos for they are healing me! Since strictly limiting my diet I no longer suffer with my chronic IBS, GERD, and even the severe acid reflux with nocturnal aspiration!!! My main cheat is a coconut based creamer with sugar in it. I was so addicted to the name brand French vanilla creamer for coffee and teas. I am now drinking my coffee black like I used to before they came out with all that flavored creamers. And I truly enjoy my dark green leafy lettuces fried in bacon drippings and topped with vinegar and lemon juice. Also salads with olive oil with lemon and vinegar. Been enjoying half an avocado a day and eggs daily. One thing that makes me sad is that I watch several farm/homesteader family channels on youtube and see them feeding most of their animals grains daily. They do slow that down during the summer when grasses are available. But some just don't have room for animals to graze on, so they are grain fed. So they aren't truly natural foods once processed. And they tend to grain finish their cattle for 2 weeks before they send them to freezer camp. They must not know how bad that is for themselves as the consumer of their own animals. I do miss many foods, but do not miss all the side effects they were unknowingly causing me!
Hello Dr. Ekberg, I saw your excitement and enthusiasm as you spoke about the sauces and crème fraiche. Would absolutely love to see a video of you making one of your fave meals. Thanks so much for the incredible information and kindness with which you educate the public. Everyone should see your videos! I’ve become a bit of a spokesperson with my family regarding IF and HFLC. This video really helps with some of those inevitable questions about ‘what to eat’. Thank you!!
Thank you Doc. For all the information in your blogs. I've gained many bennifits listening to your lectures. In 4 months I've reduced my weight from 205 lbs to 190 lbs.
benefits
Hi, and greetings from Norway. Thank you for making these very informative videos. Finally I fell like I'm actually understanding some things about food, health and the body. A few weeks now my family has tried low(er) carb diet and intermittent fasting and there seems to already be some benefits. We have to watch out though, because we do not need to loose weight so we need to eat enough. A couple of things have proven to be very hard to adjust to; Cutting grain entirely, getting hold of "proper" animal products like grass-fed and with no preservatives (close to impossible it feels like) and lastly almost all dairy is pasteurized(mandatory by law)
This video along with all of Dr. Ekberg's are amazing but the "Unfamiliar" part of this particular video struck me as the most important advice that can help someone ease into this healthy food life we need. He mentions gradual and I feel this is so true. Pick a day and try 1 new experience whenever you can and keep trying whenever you can and slowly it will get you there.
I've decided to listen to my body. I've cut out sugar, all carbs, and I'm in my fifth week of carnivore with IF. I'm only reintroducing non starchy veg at some point if I actually enjoy eating them. I have never liked leafy green veg and I think there might well be a reason (oxalic acid) for this. Not keen on nightshades either. The only veg I can put my hand on my heart and say that I really enjoy are the allium family veg. Onions, leeks, garlic etc, and cruciferous broccoli and cauliflower. I quite like beets, but I don't want the carbs or the oxalates. I think listening to your taste buds when it comes to vegetables makes sense. That bitter part of your palate is there for a reason. Supertasters maybe feel this more strongly than others. But, once you take sugar out of your life, and your taste buds have adjusted, nothing which tastes so bad can be good for you, imho.
Dr. Ekburg.. I love every one of your videos. This one is my favorite because I am a southerner and I laughed so hard …I needed that!
Me, too! A Southerener who never ate roadkill. Maybe I’m missing out LOL!
I hit a Turkey once and tried it lolol. It was extremely tough!
Dear Doctor, I found your videos 2 months ago and have dropped 10 kg by following your advice (82 to 72 kg).
I still have 5 kg to go to get to my ideal weight (I'm 180cm).
Hoping to get some better liver function response on my next liver function test.
Thank you for all of your advice. You are a life saver.
Wow great, I am also 180cm long but I weigh 87kg. I am going to try Intermittent fasting and Keto diet fron today. Let us hope if I am able to reduce it to below 75kg.
Just a heads up, I do not think your ideal weight at 180cm is 67 kilos. That's the low end imo.
Hi i am vivek from india ,my a1c was 6 one ago and body weight is 91 kg but after wathing your video i have lost 12 kg in one month and my fasting before was 110 and pp was 210 but now my fasting blod sugar is around 82 to 85 and pp is 111 to 125 and my blood pressures is under 120 ,i feel great by following your deit plan by ultra low carb wit high protien and high good fat deit, i only eat flax seed ,ground nuts ghee eggs chicken and lots of veggie thankyou dr i am never feel so happy in my life
Average youtube comment: 3 days since I've quit sugar and went low carb and already lost 1000 lbs, can run 600 miles in one clip, grew from 5'7 to 6'3 and can lift a school bus over my head like Peter Parker without strain....thanks Dr. Ekberg...will post my 30 Day results telepathically
That’s funny, but the good Dr has clearly helped untold people all over the world. I feel better after two weeks on sugar detox. Clothes are loose and no aches and pains I was feeling before the detox. The best thing happening for me though is my state of mind. I’m feeling happier than before. 😊
Second to comment. I so appreciate this!! Watching now! You are never afraid to name brands and the editing team who works on this made the videos appear like it is all in one go and it's like I am attending a short live lecture by someone who is definitely an expert on this field. Sharing your videos to family and friends as always
Thank you maya lang. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Thanks Dr. Ekberg
I found a healthy dressing BRAGGS organic vinagarette. They have another kind too.
Made of Extra Virgin Olive oil ACV and organic garlic etc.
You can pronounce all the ingredients! Love it.
Thankyou for changing my life and makes so much sense I have been following you for 3 months and have adopted the lifestyle I have so much more energy and steadly burning belly fat. You and others like you are legends.
I ran a little experiment on myself
Certainly following your nutritional education improved my health….
I also discovered….using my handy home BP monitor:
Just Listening to your videos would drop my BP during anxiety spikes 🤣❤
( not just the mental health ones….just any video)
Thank You for the priceless deeply valuable work you offer into the Universe
Free of cost…my Buddhist Heart bows in gratitude 🙏
I have lately been watching several teaching sessions and they are all fantastically enlightening and instructive. You are also a very good pedagogue so even I can understand complicated things in the body. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all!
I have just changed my diet totally and looking forvard to a full recovery in my body.
Må Gud som har skapat allt det komplicerade och fantastiska som du så beskrivande och noggrant undervisar om välsigna dig med allt gott genom sin Son Herren Jesus Kristus!
Ha det så gott Sten!

I have learned so much by watching videos on RUclips, especially Dr Ekberg. I've been doing keto (trying clean keto). In 3 mo time I lost 13 lbs. I was a sugar addict and love bread. (hard to give up) I've been watching all the videos (because of insulin resistance, asthma, kidney stones etc) I can find because my Dr doesn't tell me anything about what to eat and what not to eat...sad. Thank you Dr Ekberg 💓
My grandma interestingly enough ate a lot of carbs a day and lived to 96. She had all her teeth in perfectly healthy condition until her last day. She was healthier than many younger people until about 5 months prior to her passing. She got up at 7 AM each morning and ate every morning 1.5 slices of dark Rye bread with jam and a cup of coffee with milk. She then walked to the morning church and back (25 minutes) changed into her work clothes and walked to our huge fruit, veggie, nut tree, and flower garden (40 minutes) which she took care of every day. She would eat another slice of bread with some sausage mid-morning when working in the garden. The garden provided the family with a variety of vegetables, salads, fruits, berries and nuts, and flowers. For winter she would prepare fruits into marmalade and make sauerkraut and vegetables to stay over winter. Her main food was midday when she cooked veggies, potatoes and meat or fish. Wednesday and Sunday she had some cake midday. Afternoon she had a coffee and another piece of rye bread with margarine and jam. Dinner was rye bread, margarine a variety of veggies and different types of sausages. She would not eat anthing else until the morning. Her health how mentioned before was excellent until the year she died. She needed help with cleaning and other things in the last 5 months of her life and all of a sudden died from a very short infection on the day our son had his first birthday. I visited her 5 days before her passing and we were sitting at her kitchen table drinking a coffee and she told me about her late husband who died on the last day of the second world war. She had tears in her eyes when sharing memories. Is it not interesting that she would be so healthy and live so long with eating so much carbs? She was always slim and never had diabetes. Probably it was her moving so much and not eating between meals.
Thanks for sharing about your GM...she moved / walked a lot..even though she ate carbs..its seemed like she didn't eat a lot of food...no junk
And no pesticides in her garden maybe?
@@mollysreadings4845 Yes, zero.
That's because carbs aren't bad! 😜 It's the seed oils predominantly and even stable saturated fat if consumed in excess and in combination with carbs that create insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is NOT excess sugar or glucose, the body can regulate that; it's excess fat floating around, especially unsaturated fat like oils that block glucose from entering the cells resulting in insulin resistance. 😜

Hello Veronica
Very well explained as always and nice overview to come back to. Regarding taste buds, yesterday I drank a glass of whole milk which I hadn't for months and I d swear it had sugar added to it, but it didn't ..., That's how much taste changes after 5 months of delicious keto and low carb eating. Keep going Dr. Ekberg, my nr. 1 resource for healthy lifestyle!
Not sure if it's available in your area. But we can buy raw milk here in AZ. Sprouts stores carry it. Taste so much different than pastured stuff. Feel healthy just sipping it.
1. Oreo’s
2. Ice cream with cookie dough

8. Pie any type
9. Haribo
10. Nutella
A complete nutrition education in under 30 minutes! Thank you.
This is one of the reason why I look forward to this day every week. Cause it's finally the day you share your informative videos again! Thank you as always Dr. Sten! Stay safe!
Thank you Marie Cherrilynn Tan. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
I just want to say how I am listening to your videos in car when going to work. I learned so much because of you and I am spreading that knowledge when and wherever I can. Thank you for your effort to make more people aware of how unhealthy we actually eat and how to actually change that to better. Greetings from Croatia.
I love salads especially chef salads and crab salads with green head lettuce and vegetables
When people say there is nothing left to eat without eating carbs, what they’re really saying is there is nothing prepared and readily available anywhere and any time. And they are right. The choice is super limited. But a little effort to prepare your own food is a small inconvenience for a good long healthy life. At least you don’t have to hunt for your food anymore.
Eat your own toe nails
Works for me
Try it
I just started eating keto/clean this past November. Doing great after seeing your videos. One thing you mentioned about taste buds changing: I used to LOVE Coca Cola! Whether it was with burgers, pizza or almost anything. So, two weeks ago, I decided that I'd "treat" myself to a burger, fries and a coke at a local restaurant by me in LA. I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger, plain. Then I only ate the bottom part of the bun. After I was finished, I reached for my amazing Coca Cola, took one big sip and thought I was gonna vomit. Going in tasted wonderful. Lol. When I swallowed, I never tasted dirt but, I'd have to guess this is what it would taste like. I was SO disappointed for a moment before realizing the transformation that started to take place. Thank you for bringing us this knowledge about how to take care of ourselves.
So true. Classic Coke tastes straight up nasty and Diet Coke tastes like nothing really. You just feel the burn. Ridiculous how much I've spent on that crap.
I'm one of the rare people on this earth who has always hated the taste of coke even as a child. I could never understand how people liked it. To me it always tasted disgusting.
Thanks Iggy Pop !
Icky Pop?
Dr Ekberg, thank you ever so much for creating this video. You have, just about, answered a question I posted on your last video about this very topic on my limited food option. You have listed so many than I can now look forward to having as my staple diet. All I need to do now is limit the foods that are high on vitamin K in order to balance my Warfarin's medication (blood thinners), to limit blood clotting issues. Thank you ever so much again sir. 😀
Same here.. warfarin diet,
And Diabetes..
Dr. Sten Ekberg, thank you for this video. I like mayo and your recomendation fits in nicely to this preference. However, commercial mayo is typically made of rapeseed oil, which you warn against for good reasons like omega-6's and refining. Even 'bio' mayo that I can find locally (Poland) is made of rapeseed oli, or possibly sunflower oil which istn't much better. So the question is what good mayo do you recommend? I can't find mayo made of olive oil which would be free of excessive omega-6 and harmful refining, the only way to get it is rather troublesome self making of mayo (we only need so little of it and it can be stored only for so long), and another issue is rather intense taste of olive oil mayo compared to smooth taste of mayo based on other oils. I'd be nice if you could tell more about your preferred mayo and how you get around omega-6 in typical mayo. And thank you for all your great work you do for promoting healthy foods and lifestyle.
Make your own with bacon grease and pasture raised egg yolks
@@skins189lbs4 do you think pork lard instead rapeseed oil works well for mayo? Did you try it yourself?
@@pawemackiewicz3010 I use half avocado half evo. Jus can't make a huge jar as sold in stores, the shelf life is max 3 weeks in the fridge. Tastes so much better than manufactured, which I refused to eat, homemade oh yes I eat that!!!
Use avacado oil, add a little mustard to taste and an egg. Takes 30 secs to make
Mark Sisson’s mayo uses avocado oil from memory
Peter from Warsaw Poland , thank you so much for your films which help lead a healthier life, I rely on organic eggs , sardines , herrings, walnuts and almonds , dates ( one a day ) dried plumes , avocado , onions and garlic etc . The big problem here is that we are not provided with info of how the animals we eat were fed. The other thing is the price of good food, I somehow try to balance getting more out of little available. What is your opinion about type of bread like Swedish WASA harder to bite but tasty I started relying on it some time ago.
Your videos are super addictive Dr. Ekberg. Actually getting all of this info broken down & learning the "why" I have some health issues makes me confident that my fasting & keto journey will become a lifestyle for the rest of my life. Thank you! Also, I live in NE Florida and really laughed out loud when you said "Rednecks", just wasn't expecting it, haha.
amazingly interesting ...a clear message to all those persons who are afraid to change their lifestyle for a healthier self ...a true precise guide to healthy mostly low carb foods...thanks as always Dr Sten Ekberg !!!
Don't give up on yourself. When I switched from Big Macs to Filet-O-Fish, I thought I had made a hugh step forward.
And it was a hugh step for me. I had finally become Mindful of the impact of my lifestyle including diet.
One day at a time. One new piece of information each day. Eventually, it accumulates into someone for which you can be proud.
I really appreciated your ‘roadkill’ reference. Hilarious as well as informative 👍
I've been making my own mayo with olive oil for several years now, I've got used to the taste. At first I used refined olive oil but now I use extra virgin olive oil and I really like the taste.
cool! how about olive oil for salad dressing? have you tried any recipes for a good salad dressing. I'm at a loss for a good dressing, so I have to use my usual dressing reluctantly. Thanks!
@@borg386 i think with olive oil the most wonderful thing you can make is vinaigrettes, but sometimes i mix yogurt with olive oil and lemon, garlic or other spices/herbs optional. craving some as we speak ha!
if you want something super simple, i will tell you how us in balkans do it, we smother the salad with white cheese :) feta or any strong tasting, hard white like sheep or goat cheese works great
@@ezodragon great! Thanks! Gonna give it try.
@@borg386 extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice is the simpliest dressing and it tastes so good on leafy green salads. Its also good with blanched broccoli and cauliflower. Do not forget to add a little bit of kosher salt. Enjoy! 🙂
Great video! I've learned new something today!
But in honesty, i am a bit sad that you didn't include any fermented food such as kimchi or tempe, they're rich in nutrients and also good for your digestive system.
He didn't include any foods that had been somehow prepared, just plain ingredients. That's what the list was about.

How many quality years is it likely to add to my life for the amount of time and effort to change my lifestyle. I have a sister who is one year older and she has basically given up cooking and gets pre-prepared meals delivered to her place, but I haven't gone to that level yet..
I do eat Rolled oats, Blue-Berries, Chia Seeds, Vegetables and Fish as my staples, but slip in a few of your non-preferred foodstuffs now and then.
Greetings Sten from Ireland,you are a great communicator using everyday language to explain multifaceted health issues that are readily understood!
I am sure I have watched your entire catalogue, very easy to follow sage advice :-) I started a low carb diet in late Aug 2021 at 126KG; by Dec 2021 I reached 100KG, woot woot!. I stopped eating sugar and bread as per videos and also cut down beer, pasta and rice: I am aiming to lose another 15KG over the next 6 months. I just need to cut down red wine and exercise more for better health. I am 60 years old now and I was walking the path to metabolic destruction :-P

Thank you
I’ve switched to this type of eating in the last 6 months, Dr Ekberg is exactly right on the transition of your taste buds. I dreaded switching, now I love it! I eat tons of veggies, many stir fried in small amounts of Avocado or Extra Virgin Olive Oil and add in some small portions of good quality meat. So so good. Feel so much better!
Salt helps!
@@BlackJesus8463 I just realized that I can’t use regular avocado oil either per one of his videos. Unless its virgin cold pressed, regular avocado oil like I get from Costco is no better than the other processed oils. Dang it!

Due to your excellent advice and videos I managed to lose 23 kilos in five months. Now I’m super knowledgeable on most foods and feel in full control of my own body weight.
Oh my, we nearly live on Pinto beans in the Southwest! Can't believe they're not listed under legumes! They can even be used in place of flour.
I have been having digestive and gallbladder problems for a long time and when I ate what at the time was a normal meal (meat, veggie and some side like wild rice or potato or a pasta dish I would get nausea and upset stomach. Then I realized I am not handling starches well, especially flour and anything sweet. I used to have honey in my coffee . Now I drink it black with a little cinnamon in it. I eat less carbs and more veggies and good meat I can afford. Today in the morning I had chicken shredded coarsely and browned in a skillet with serrano pepper, I wrapped it in a lettuce leaves with some Mexican white cheese, it was so good. 6 hours later for my second meal I had a bowl of borshcht I made, chunks of grass fed beef , red cabbage, sauerkraut, carrot, beets, garlic and dill. No indigestion, no nausea, I feel so much better, fasting for the rest of the day. I have a question, it it OK during fasting to take few grams of EVOO or butter? I need some fat to keep my bile flowing so it wouldn't form gallstones which I got during a prolonged fast and didn't think of having some fat to prevent them from forming.
Sten, this is an excellent primer in how to eat healthy and well. Great video. Thank you for being a healer focussed on root causes of disease.
Great list! I have eggs a few times a week, scrambled in ghee, topped with cheese. Best meal ever, in my opinion. My body seems to agree, very satisfying. Easy to do OMAD, especially if I add a couple slices of avocado on the side.
Hello Barbara?
Fabulous thank you for that idea! Love that combo!!
yep! bacon and eggs, or steak and eggs( or avocado) is the best satiate. Keeps me NOT hungry all day.
I eat 2 hard boiled eggs every day with avocado.. Every single day...
4 or 5 organic pasture raised eggs 2 or 3 times a week in ghee for me, awesome stuff
Love macadamia nuts like you do Dr Ekberg have to limit them. They are my favorite and it’s the one item that keeps me from losing weight. Limit nuts if you want to get that weight off faster. It’s the crunch factor that we miss.
So true! Handful here, handful there, oops gained 2 #! 😁 I use Moon Cheese or celery for crunch... sometimes crispy bacon.
I’m in Texas and have never heard of a Tactical Assault Possum! I had to backup the redneck section and listen again. Most people I know that eat the animals in that section hunt or trap them. Thanks for the detailed list I’ve been trying to cut carbs and lacking variety.

I am learning a lot . Watching these videos are helping me to stay on track with eating better. Thank you !
Dr Ekberg, thank you for the best source of info regarding eating, IF and Keto. You always present well and acknowledge areas you less certain about. I suspect you have lengthened many people's lives if they follow your advice.
