There's too much of that junk that I eat! But not all the time. But the cereal every day!!! And margarine, almost everyday, because butter won't spread! :(

Normally these kinds of commented lists are helpful, because some people dont oganize the information well, or ramble on for video length, etc. In this case youre doing this man a disservice. He is actually presenting a lot of good knowledge and anyone that wanted to skip ahead to read the list just had to click towards the end of the video... so you are not only needlessly redundant but also trying to take away from his viewership.
I'm Mongolian. Our life style is nomadic. Every time I hear something like this I feel our life style is the most unharmful, peaceful, healthy and free of any bad toxins. People now understand how it is important to lead more natural based life.
@mike 201314 me too. We should stop sabotaging our country and our life style. I would say Mongolia is the earth heaven if someone ask me where the heaven is on the earth.
You're right. The thing is, if everyone became a nomad right now, billions of people would starve to death. Can't undo thousands of years of development overnight. Gotta take baby steps.
It hurts me that I know my grandchildren live on this junk food and to an extent my children and husband also. I do try to tell them, but they don’t get it.
I feel so horrible for how little I knew before about health. I truly have abused my body pretty much without knowing it. I can't thank you enough Dr. Ekberg for educating us.
You are welcome LisaR Nichols. It was my pleasure. Just don't beat yourself up about the past. You did the best you knew how. Celebrate how much more you know know. 😄
No more diet sodas for me. Can't believe how much aspartame I must have consumed by now?#YIKES! Be careful coz it's even in many of the flavored waters that have nerve to advertise as Healthy Choice!!😳
Actually that margarine bit was so much worse back in the day. i remember when i was a kid and people said "fats are bad for your health" they also said "eat more margarine, because it was the heart healthy alternative". i specifically remember my parents and grandparents specifically say "don't get butter, get margarine"
I remember that we always had margarine in the fridge when I was a kid. Soft drinks, low-fat milk, low/no fat salad dressings, saccharine packets for our tea, etc. The kitchen was a chemistry set.
Same. 😂 80s, 90s kid? We only ate margarine. My mom found buy butter for baking, but it wasn’t something you used regularly. I started butter during the early low carb days.
Yes. Constant praise for margarine back in my day. My dad was skeptical, but not an argumentative person. He had grown up with few luxurys in the 1920s and 30s, and knew quite a bit about basic farm food and stretching a dollar.
just want to say that I have followed your advice and you honestly may have saved my life... I was 287 pounds with a 90 resting heartbeat and a average of 165 / 90 blood pressure WITH medications. I was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I saw one of your videos and starting to put your methods into practice. It has been 3 and a 1/2 months and I am down in weight from 287 pounds to 228 pounds! My resting heart rate has gone down to 77 beats a minute! My blood pressure has gone down to 120 / 70 and my blood sugar never goes past 100 even when i eat! (Says around 80 while fasting). I cannot express my gratitude enough Sir, you have My respect and I truly believe in your truth because I live it! (My apologies but I am going to post this same comment on your other videos in the hope you will see it or that it may inspire someone else).
That's crazy, awesome improvements! Crazy to think that some people's baseline resting heart rate is 90, I had that rate just before being diagnosed with lymphoma, and not a small one mind you, 14 cms wide in the lungs! I'm usually 50 bpm. Being as high as 90 was what made me go to the docs. Full remission by the way. Congrats again. We're all gonna make it.
Bravo! Keep up the good work, you are doing yourself a huge favour. I was overweight once too, so I know how hard such a life can be. You can do it! God bless you!👍👊💪
If Americans followed this guy's advice the American food industry would collapse, organic farms would thrive and battery chicken farms would go bust overnight.

At the very end he says that they will shorten your life, which is very true. The problem is that we don't think about the shortening of our lives until we get to ages of when our lives are shortened. And then the damage has already been done.
I had 4 weeks off processed food then i got a new job and to celebrate i thought i would come off my eating plan for a few days... Well... I've gone off chocolate, pizza, cake, crisps, chips, processed crap, sweet popcorn etc. It's actually incredible. Seed oils. Flour and sugar make me feel sick. And the worst thing was my body. It felt like I'd aged 20 years. The inflammation. The legs and whole body seized up. In the morning i couldn't walk properly. I was waddling. Like an old person. My flexibility had gone. My face swelled. I felt sick. It mentally and physically attacked me. Actually blew my mind. So straight back onto clean whole eating i go. Food is so powerful. I don't think people realise.
@@NickBen87well said. I’m experiencing much the same thing. Still a way to go but I know I’m moving in the right direction. Went to a pub last night and had a bun-less burger, with real cheese, a salad instead of fries, and a homemade slaw (I assumed the dressing wasn’t low fat - forgot to ask). At lunch I was in a cafe and had walnut and blue cheese salad. It came with sliced apple which I’m moderating because of the carbs, but at least it was natural. It came with a slice of brown wholemeal bread, which I didn’t eat again because of the carbs and most likely the “modern” wheat it contained. Both meals were satisfying. I didn’t feel I’d missed out at all. I think though restaurant owners need to watch Ekberg’s videos. They’d be doing their clientele a massive favour, even if it means increasing what they charge to cover the cost of better ingredients. (Also, despite forgoing the fries and the burger bun, I still had to pay the full price!)
It's very simple. In order to keep people SICK and needing Medicine, the food companies sell more products by making everything ADDICTIVE, which is so easy---just add SUGAR! I think Big Pharma and Big Food companies are in cahoots.
@ That is the most insightful comment in all of these online diet discussions. When I was in my 20s, I also felt great being overweight and eating sugar (except for cavities.) Then in my 50s and 60s, obesity, nerve tingling, high blood pressure, blurry vision, dramatic loss of athletic performance, and high blood glucose levels come to roost. I can now barely handle 40-60g net carbs a day vs. my prior 400+ grams of carbs a day diet. Grrrr.
@Vasoz Calories are measured with a machine. It doesn't care if the calories come from fat or sugar. It just measures how long the energy in the food burns. BUT a body is not a machine. It makes a huge difference if you have 100 calories as fat or as sugar. The sugar messes up your metabolism very badly with a lot of bad consequences. The 100 calories as fat don't influence the blood sugar, adrenals etc.
I'm 58 and just woke up to this madness. Since rerouting my brain on FOOD, actual food, actual nutrition, actual value in health??? I've dropped 35lbs of extra dead weight. Useless, excess flib-flab just taking up real estate on my bones. Now? I see it. I don't want that non-food in or on my bones. Thank you for this thorough teaching. Thank you Jesus for the help!!!! Love you all!!! from Northern Minnesota 🙋🏼♀️🌹
When I was 15 I think aspartame had just came out and nobody knew at that time how toxic that stuff was. I used to drink Diet Coke every day. About a year later when I was 16. I started getting seizures in my sleep. Nobody could figure out what was causing these seizures. I went to neurologists and they put me on anti seizure medicines. It helped but I was still getting seizures ( I was still drinking driest coke). It wasn’t until a few years later when I was 18. I had my first seizure while awake. I fell and hit my head. I still have a knot and scar there on my forehead where I hit it. I was rushed to the hospital and the doctor looked at my medical history and saw I was taking Tegretol ( anti seizure medicine ) but was still having seizures periodically. So he asked me on that day what I had eaten. I told him my lunch and a Diet Coke. And it was like the pieces all fit. The doctor told me that there had been some recent studies that showed aspartame caused seizures in laboratory rats and this was in the Diet Coke. I had no idea. If the FDA knows this why are they putting it in a drink. I cut Diet Coke out altogether. And once I stopped drinking it I never had another seizure and was able to come off my seizure medicine. Today I am 51 and I will never eat, drink, or touch anything with aspartame in it again and have been seizure free since I was 18. You are right this stuff is straight up poison
Government agencies should never be listened to when it comes to what you put in your body these folks are easily bribed by lobbiests and big money corporations, never ever take a Government agencies word for anything let alone on things you put in your body like the covid vaccines ect.....
Quoting Healthline: People who have a condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) shouldn’t ingest products containing aspartame. PKU is a rare genetic disease diagnosed at birth. People with PKU aren’t able to properly process phenylalanine, so it can accumulate to dangerous levels in the body. Quoting Pubmed article -> Epilepsy and phenylketonuria: a case description and EEG-fMRI findings: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is characterized by phenylalanine accumulation due to phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. Up to 50% of PKU patients experience seizures.
going to the supermarked, most of the shelfs have products with malicious intent. to say they are criminals might sound a bit extreme but they are. the entire food industry is out to capitalize on our health. they use every trick in the book to manipulate our behavior and consumtion habbits. be it color or product placement, chemicals to trick the brain, advertisments or wrong labels. over 70% of the products u can buy at a supermarked u shouldnt bc of health reasons. this is absolutely insane!!
Finally health information that's not in the form of a 50min ad that repeats and repeats but never gives you the actual answer lol. I have to say, this Dr is from a rare species. Loving this real, yet informative channel.
He is VERY rare because you can tell he really CARES about helping us become healthier. It's like having a relative you can depend on to give you accurate advice in a caring manner and encourage you to use your brain to help improve your life.
I wonder if I am not alone who feels cheated, deprived, lied to, upset and angry that any food detrimental to humans’ health is allowed not only to be created, but even sold be to us for our hard-earned money?
I agree with you but it’s also the age of waking up. Meaning look around you and find the truth. The tell a vision (tv) hypnotized us and we took everything for truth. Not me anymore
Never trust your grocery store products...there's no guarantee they're all healthy. You MUST do your own research to know what's good for your own body. The information is out there...like this Dr and his videos are excellent! Also search out Naturopathic MDs...many are on here RUclips.
Soy una más ➕ que se pregunta lo mismo. Pero la industria agroalimentaria es un monstruo depredador sin escrúpulos con profesionales adoctrinados y sin escrúpulos.
Hi Sten, I knew a lot of your content in this video, mostly from German sources, but you represented in such a clear structured and understandable way, that is second to none. Thanks a lot from Germany
Well, essentially all products sold in convenient stores/markets should be avoided. The only healthier way is to buy unprocessed foods such as meets, veggies, fruits and then make anything you want from those ingredients. Learn how to make your own peanut butter, cake and icecream. Yes, it takes time but it's doable.
@@Baalaaxa The truth is what society does not want. Can you imagine all the wrong ideology we are currently consuming as truth and what impact it is having on our overall wellbeing and society? Mmmmhhh...I will leave it at that! :/
This is the best video I’ve ever seen. This man changed my life. I always sought good health but could never attain it. I’m 67 years old and workout and live a healthy lifestyle. I thought I was eating healthy by consuming plenty of healthy vegetables and other unprocessed foods. I allowed myself to have unhealthy snacks and thought it was ok because I ate healthy most of the time. Once I eliminated all of the items on this, I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you for writing this comment. I'm the same age as you and have lived pretty much the same way. This is the first time I've watched one of his videos. Thank you for posting your comment, I will be watching more of his videos and learning.
This doctor makes a lot of sense. He carefully explained everything and he tells the truth and he is very intelligent and he's teaching us how to be healthy and what to avoid and basically explaining all food groups
Funny, that's almost exactly the same thing I was thinking the first few times I listened to his videos. There are so many videos, one has to sort out those who are Genuine. Congratulations on finding a true gem!
It won't be taught at school because it would interfere with so many Lucrative Companies that are Trillionaires. Likewise, Critical Thinking---analytical thinking, just Plain Thinking About Consequences of Actions will NEVER be taught for the same reason. I didn't know teachers had a Union until I was grown, but always thought of unions as counterproductive and against good ways of living. Those children who have intelligent loving families are blessed because they will be taught the truth and can avoid the psychological traps that induce kids to get hooked on the Sugar Trap (as if their parents had not succumbed to advertising already!)
Dr. Ekberg , I have been watching your videos because I have a fatty liver and my doctor never never mentioned it, just gives me pills. My blood specimen show increased results and I began watching your videos. You are teaching and making us aware that we can change our entire lives, be healthy in mind and body. Amazing videos Thank you so much for your research, valuable time, expertise and importance of them. I've always believed as an 83 Senior now..female that FDA changed due to population growth and people that live in the country are healthier than most. They live differently. I have forwarded some of your videos for others to Educate and know REALITY of our health. Bless you for giving us your research and videos.
@@derin111 And, lettuce is one of the most nutritionally devoid green leafy plants in nature anyway, which is probably why they don't bother making it worse. (Not "unhealthy" per say, just not particularly beneficial, either.)
Love your videos and watching them I made significant changes in my diet. I’m 58 and after eliminating brown sugar, flavored coffee creamers and fruit juices over a span of 12-18 months I lowered my A1C from 6.5 to now 5.4 not pre-diabetic. Now: Fresh lemons and limes in my filtered water, Monkfruit in my black coffee, Greek yogurt w fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries and blackberries) granola and dark chocolate pieces. 2 pasture raised eggs daily with multi grain bread. All these daily diet changes have made me much healthier!!
@@penniroyal4398 Check out some other Dr. Ekberg videos. Cholesterol levels can be up to 450 and you can still be healthy. In fact, elevated cholesterol levels are healthy up to a point. It's another lie we have been taught. Triglyercides on the other hand should be lower. I eat many eggs and have great labwork. Just make sure they are pasture raised, and preferably Organic.
I know all this and have done for ages, but sadly I, like many, find it difficult to eat as healthily as I know I should. Hope everyone is encouraged to try and improve their diet. Good luck and health to everyone.
You are literally SURROUNDED by BAD CHOICES. It's not easy to try to find good food. You have to make notes before you go shopping. If you have a friend who would join you, you are doubly blessed as both of you will improve your health.
My sister is a subscriber of your channel and she suggested to watch your videos. I watched one, and convinced to be one of your million subscribers too. Thank you for researching endless healthy datas and true/honest thoughts . From Jacksonville Florida USA 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Imagine nursing homes feeding these exact BAD foods with no reprucussions. I have lived in 2 nursing homes that serve these poisonous foods. every meal. There are a lot of sick people here. I told them I wanted to be served organic and raw. It took them quite a while to send me salads. That would be iceberg with carrots on top and non organic salad dressings. I sent those back and finally they sent some dark leafy greens with carrots on top covered with saran wrap and put in a cold fridge. Everything about it was cold and flat, so I rejected it. In Texas, after medicaid and the nursing home takes care of the finances I am left with $60 a month to buy myself some decent fruits and nuts and veggies. $60 is not enough. They display a form called Residents Rights on the wall but they don't follow the rules. The nutritionist said there was no basis for the foods I was talking about. She did not want to talk to me and walked out the door agitated. Her resistance tells me that these poisonous foods are being served on purpose to keep the people sick. I have listened to a lot of people talking about genocide on this earth. Serving poisonous foods on purpose keeps people sick for a long time. My feet and legs are swollen. Metabolic acidosis is the main label. Too much acid in my blood. How do I talk this nursing home into serving everyone decent, non poisonous foods? WOW.
I am 77 years old. I remember an era when I was told that egg was poison. Later came a time when it was said us to eat eggs. They where healthy until, again... eggs should be avoided. I believe that you may eat everything if you do this in balance. Mother lived 103. She ate what she pleased but never too much. I do not trust these rules.
What? You are questioning government inormation based on science? Careful. They are almost at the point of starting witch hunts for anyone that thinks like that.
Who ever greases the palm gets the final label on the back...oh it's gooood...gobble it up & be quick about it my realtor has more Florida mansion's for me to buy with your money lol...lol...
Was it more likely that your mother ate less processed foods due to the era she lived in? The rise of ultra processed and fast foods has been mostly in the last 50 years. Previous to that people cooked food at home.
You can play the russian roulette sometimes and still survive. This doesn't mean that russian roulette is safe or that should be tried not too often to be safe. Each body reacts in complex ways to these poisons. You can survive to one donut but each time you take a risk.
I remember years ago we were at the beach and we took some food with us to have dinner there afterwards, I remember noticing not even the flies would land on the Margarine
Thank You @cristinaking7647 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
@@punkynoodle9370 I was thinking this very thing. It should be mandatory in our grammar schools, not just one grade, but repeated every other or every three years.
I’m Celiac and used to be depressed as I couldn’t eat any of this stuff, eg breads, biscuits (prefer savoury). And having watched this video I realised that being Celiac is my Saving Grace. 👏🏻
This is what I think as well. Celiac makes it very easy and necessary to not fall back on processed foods. After I reduced even other high carb food I feel even healthier. I even can’t eat a sugary meal now without getting a unpleasent insulin spike. I can feel it’s being bad for my body.
Maybe people with celiac 'disease' are the "normal" ones and what we would have all been in history. It's just the rest of us without this 'disease' somehow have adapted a little more to tolerating it.
He not only KNOWS it, he can transmit the information because he is skilled in COMMUNICATING. Few people can do this! I remember one teacher who was teaching a subject I really liked and he literally put me to sleep. Fortunately, I had read the book when test time came.
Hey Dr Ekberg! I would love to know what your diet consists of?! Snacks, drinks, everything. You have so much knowledge that I feel following your eating plan would be of great benefit to many! Thankyou so much for your time, talent and efforts!!!!
I always loved whatGaylord Hauser learned from his grandfather, “If you want a healthy living body, you must eat healthy living foods.” And my corollary to that is “The more mankind has messed with it, the worse it is for you, and that goes double for vitamins.”
Vitamin C and D are necessary to protect yourself against so many pathogens and improve your immune system and much more. Both feature prominently in my anti-covid strategy.
I am under the impression that I supplement my body first with the best healthy food I can find, and since that in one day I cannot find the variety of nutrients etc... I take vitamins. But again there is a world of difference in the quality... I use Dr.Fhurman .
@@nicolecasavant5308 Go to a good health store, ask knowledgeable staff for the independent, quality brands that are not Pharma owned (many have been bought).. then choose to buy online, or at the store or where you get a good deal.
In just two of your videos I have already started a journal to keep up with all of this fantastic information you are sharing. I would really like to give you my gratitude for doing them.
Thank you for teaching me this man. I've been eating super bad my whole life and have recently started watching your fasting videos and have picked up tips. 1 week of intermittent fasting and frequent exercise and I've lost 4 pounds!!
This showed up in my feed, and I almost didn't click on it, AND I expected I'd probably skip through it by fast forwarding a lot. Instead, I was very interested and pleasantly surprised to find myself soaking it all in. I love the way you explained the "why" of it. I also appreciate that you realize some of us aren't ready to cut out all of the junk immediately, and you offer moderation as an answer.
About 30 years ago now, a close friend of mine who has a degree in physics and chemistry, seriously told me off for drinking diet Pepsi. He said it would give me bladder cancer . I never drank the stuff again , and I try very hard to avoid artificial sweetners. I don't do low fat or diet ' foods ' .👍🙏
@@bweatherman3345 actually originally, "the love of money is the root of all evil" Money is good. But if you love it only and nothing else it is "evil" Hints use money to love people not Use people to get and love money.
Low fat milk is a real eye opener for me. I used low fat 1% milk for over a year now. I never thought they altered milk by chemicals. I will never buy low fat products again.
One day I happened to read the LABEL (a good habit to develop) and discovered that "Rich and Creamy" on "Low Fat" product actually meant "Full of Sugar". They were wrong about "fat" being bad; it was "sugar" that was bad. So many people ended up drinking "low-fat" products from unhealthy advice from "experts".
When I started down this road I first created a mantra, "Pasta is Poison". It helped me stop eating pasta, which I grew up on in an Italian family. Then I added, "The only thing we are supposed to drink is water". When I was going to Weight Watchers I heard people say, "I don't like water" the leaders would tell these people to drink diet soda. I knew I was in the wrong place. Thank you for this list. I still have a few that trip me up now and then. I am still a work in progress.
Pasta is better than bread because it's not frankengrain, but it's still something that should be limited at the very least, if not eliminated. Grains in general as not healthy, and in refined form they are a disaster.
RedHotFiat ... only trouble is pasta is a comfort food. I am striving to go on a high fat low carb diet, but am tempted to eat high carb like pasta once in a way. Is it my imagination that make me sometime feel my distilled water tastes a litile sweet.
Thank you sir. I've worked in the baking industry for 10 years. Seen all kinds of additives that goes into breads and rolls. I really appreciate you confirming my "argument" with folks about artificial sweetners and margarine. Anyway, thank you so much for you taking the time and making this video.
It seems as if any/all government regulatory agencies are being manipulated by the industries they are intended to regulate. This is due to the proponents of Big Government and their cronies. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!
It's interesting what you said the artificial sweeteners. Everyone of those my mother and my sisters and brorher used those sweeteners religiously. Those packets were all over house when I was growing up. I'm the youngest and never even had a pinch of that stuff. The term "artificial sweeteners" was a turnoff for me so I never indulged it. They all drank diet sodas for decades by the caseload. My mother since passed with health disease, diabetes and kidney failure. My oldest sister also had heart disease and diabetes. At 56 she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. My other sister is diabetic and has congestive heart failure. My brother has heart disease. I'm just about 52 in a few weeks and never been diagnosed with a disease. Just about 5 years ago I decided I was not going to wait on a diagnosis. I focused on eating healthy. I lift weights and run sprint. I actually run a 11.4 100 meter dash at 51. I lost almost 90 lbs. I am so grateful, though I grew up on unhealthy, I didn't indulge some of the worst things you listed. Also as a child I didn't like cake or donuts. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Wow.
Yeah its just sad that some kids grow up in unhealthy families. My kids will need to eat well until they become adults. Possibly keto/atkins/paleo diet. Im glad my parents always forced me to eat the healthy stuff first so i couldnt induldge too much on the bad stuff.
A previous comment said it. ‘You are intuitively wise.’ That, in itself, is a precious gift. My wife’s family are all very heavy and they are incorrigible, and the worst of it, is that they are impervious to change or enlightenment. My wonderful wife is heavy but she eats more wisely, but internalizes all her stress and that really makes it difficult for her to be where she wants to be. I myself am at an ideal weight but I never try to inform because it’s seldom welcome especially being someone who is perceived as being ‘skinny’. That’s where these comment sections are helpful. I have a chance to vent.
I just did not appreciate till now how much our food is messed with. I've been watching Dr Eckberg's videos for a little while now and have learned to shift my diet to actual food as much as I can.
I try to focus on eating my favorite truly healthy foods as much as possible instead of thinking in terms of avoiding my favorite junk foods. Fill up on the former and you'll have little space for the latter.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your excellent work. I agree with everything you said. Literally everything. It is great to hea from a real doctor who actually cares about people...not pushing drugs. If only we could get medical training to focus on proper nutrition instead of how th system is now..bless you and àl the other real doctors out there. ❤
I’ve enjoyed recently watching your videos as of late. After dumping Carbs as we called it I could always drop 10-30 lbs it never failed. Now that I’m over 50 I understand so much more and I guess we all have over the last 10 years. Your videos have helped a lot. I just can’t at my age eat whatever I want as long as I think it’s low Carb. The science you lay out in your presentations expands ones ability to get it right without guessing. The fasting is a bomb. After a little while u just don’t want to eat for 18 hours; one extends the 12 hours without even thinking about it. I must admit the when I got to the point where I was ready to try it ; the first 2 or 3 days those last 2 hours were a real challenge. You will feel the health benefits in 30 days it’s undeniable. Combining a low impact exercise ruin makes it all fit together. Thanks again for sharing
Hi Doctor, thank you so I’ve eaten all 10 of these in my lifetime. I’m 68 years old since March of 22 I’ve been using your advice and I’ve lost close to 40 lbs. my biggest struggle at this point is sugar.
@Nancy Dublin Hi Nancy, I’ve been trying my hardest to keep carbs and sugar as low as possible. Like I said I started in March of 22 so it’s been a year now. I was on blood pressure medication when I started. I’m off medication now and have been since last June. I was 215 pounds when I started and I’m staying between 175 and 180 now and have for the last couple of months. I weight in every morning 1st thing and I think if I didn’t my weight would creep back up. Vacations and holidays are my biggest challenges because of the abundance of sweets and carbs around the house. I use a weight tracker app and it keeps me on track. I’m 68 years old and I feel better now than I have for years. So Nancy go for it!! You can do it for free too. No special foods to buy. Just cut carbs and sugar. Watch the great videos for inspiration and instruction. The last thing I should mention is I noticed pretty quickly good things happening with my weight dropping a couple of pounds a week. Let me know how you do. Good luck
Stevia or Monk fruit sweetener. Still need to read ingredients. Make sure no additives. I’m overweight but working on it. Have cut out virtually all sugar over the past 5 years. Still dealing with excess weight. Need to get exercising.
You should create breakfast lunch snacks and dinner plans for people. That's my biggest problem is trying to figure out every day what to feed my family without poisoning myself and them. It's so hard when half the food in the US is poisoned
Just learned about you… I’m subscribed 👍🏻 I’m already fairly healthy (@ 60)…almost no sugar for 12+ years, no alcohol or drugs, mostly whole foods in my diet, decent exercise (stopped driving about 15yrs ago to save money and get healthier) So I feel I’m on the right track I want to live to be 100+ 👍🏻 Your info is helping me take it to another level, and this is just the first video…! 😊 I screen-shot your bad ‘food’ list I just threw out my margarine…I believe I will switch to butter Thank you for your efforts…you are doing a world of good! I look forward to all of your videos, past and future 😊
I've replaced "10" with either almond milk or full cream, "3" I've replaced with butter. ''6" my cereal is full grain, no added sugar and bread is full whole meal. None of the others refer to my diet.
I use almond butter and I love it. Way better than peanut butter for me. I still have peanut butter but not often and always go organic. What kind of wheat bread u buy? I go for silver hills. Best in class if u ask me.
I have not eaten any of the top 10 list since I started digesting these videos back in Jan. '23. My A1C is at 5.0, down from 7.9. I am now off all diabetic medication since March and was able to stop the last of my BP meds in June as my BP is at 118/50 with-in 5 points either way. My morning fasting glucose is between 75-100. It is so easy to do OMAD when I properly balance low carb, protein & fat. I never weigh myself except at Dr. Apts, but I am down from 208 to 145 since Jan. '23. If, (when) I feel hungry after I have had proper meals I use the bullet proof coffee, often at first but hardly ever any more. I eat 2MAD when I am with family and friends and socials. Once I learned what to eat and what not to eat, it is an easy lifestyle. It does take some time and planning, but with beef in the freezer, some emergency frozen veggies, nuts, seeds and Greek Yogurt I can always have an acceptable meal. I keep frozen Salmon and never let my shelf be empty of Sardines, eggs and avacoda. I feel great, sleep longer and better and have a great mood. I wish all Doctors would learn this lifestyle and learn specifics on blood labs and colesterol numbers so there would be back up for this lifestyle. I never stopped any medications without consultation and recommendation from my PC MD. As of 09/02/2023 everything still going very well, my weight is 140 #'s fully clothed wearing shoes. I have been 2mad and and my "cheating" has been 1/2 Asian Pare or a couple of small plums 1-2 times a week . I did stop cheese and cut my portions of Red meat & pork and eggs so my Western Doctor will not want to put me on a Collateral meds.

@@bobettel1243 I do not use any sauce except EVOO. Wild caught Atlantic Salmon from Walmart. Hard to find wild caught. Stay away from sauce and read labels avoid prossed and high GI foods. I never eat anything as high as 20 GI.
By the way, since I see you and my dad have the same issue, and you are both 83, one of the things I have noticed about him is, he is so set in his ways that it is SUPER hard for him to make changes, even when they are clearly helpful. It takes him years to make healthy changes, but once he does he gets it. So, try not to be too stuck in those lifelong choices and habits. Years ago, my dad wouldn't dream of eating food that wasn't fried. He will regularly bake chicken and fish now.
If you've lived to be 83, I'd say YOU are the expert on what to eat, rather than the "doctor" in this video! I'd love to see a video made by you, about what you eat and how you've stayed healthy enough to get to age 83. :) To be clear, this is not sarcasm -- I really do like hearing what people age 80+ have to say about what they eat and how they've lived as long as they have. I hope to live at least that long myself!

Actually that margarine bit was so much worse back in the day. i remember when i was a kid and people said "fats are bad for your health" they also said "eat more margarine, because it was the heart healthy alternative". i specifically remember my parents and grandparents specifically say "don't get butter, get margarine"
I remember that we always had margarine in the fridge when I was a kid. Soft drinks, low-fat milk, low/no fat salad dressings, saccharine packets for our tea, etc. The kitchen was a chemistry set.
Same. 😂 80s, 90s kid? We only ate margarine. My mom found buy butter for baking, but it wasn’t something you used regularly. I started butter during the early low carb days.
Yes. Constant praise for margarine back in my day. My dad was skeptical, but not an argumentative person. He had grown up with few luxurys in the 1920s and 30s, and knew quite a bit about basic farm food and stretching a dollar.
Yep, I was born in 1966. It was Parkay for us. Now I'm like yuck 🤮
I'm not gonna lie y'all, just seeing sodas in the fridge up there, I'm still missing it.
just want to say that I have followed your advice and you honestly may have saved my life...
I was 287 pounds with a 90 resting heartbeat and a average of 165 / 90 blood pressure WITH medications.
I was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I saw one of your videos and starting to put your methods into practice. It has been 3 and a 1/2 months and I am down in weight from 287 pounds to 228 pounds! My resting heart rate has gone down to 77 beats a minute! My blood pressure has gone down to 120 / 70 and my blood sugar never goes past 100 even when i eat! (Says around 80 while fasting).
I cannot express my gratitude enough Sir, you have My respect and I truly believe in your truth because I live it!
(My apologies but I am going to post this same comment on your other videos in the hope you will see it or that it may inspire someone else).
Thank you CaliEye for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
That's crazy, awesome improvements! Crazy to think that some people's baseline resting heart rate is 90, I had that rate just before being diagnosed with lymphoma, and not a small one mind you, 14 cms wide in the lungs! I'm usually 50 bpm. Being as high as 90 was what made me go to the docs. Full remission by the way. Congrats again. We're all gonna make it.
That is so amazing!! Congrats on taking control of your health.
Congratulations!!

I usually come to watch a random video whenever I’m fasting and thinking about food. This channel is GOLD.
Yes! Real gold.
I had 4 weeks off processed food then i got a new job and to celebrate i thought i would come off my eating plan for a few days... Well... I've gone off chocolate, pizza, cake, crisps, chips, processed crap, sweet popcorn etc. It's actually incredible. Seed oils. Flour and sugar make me feel sick. And the worst thing was my body. It felt like I'd aged 20 years. The inflammation. The legs and whole body seized up. In the morning i couldn't walk properly. I was waddling. Like an old person. My flexibility had gone. My face swelled. I felt sick. It mentally and physically attacked me. Actually blew my mind. So straight back onto clean whole eating i go. Food is so powerful. I don't think people realise.
Foods are our building blocks
@@NickBen87well said. I’m experiencing much the same thing. Still a way to go but I know I’m moving in the right direction. Went to a pub last night and had a bun-less burger, with real cheese, a salad instead of fries, and a homemade slaw (I assumed the dressing wasn’t low fat - forgot to ask). At lunch I was in a cafe and had walnut and blue cheese salad. It came with sliced apple which I’m moderating because of the carbs, but at least it was natural. It came with a slice of brown wholemeal bread, which I didn’t eat again because of the carbs and most likely the “modern” wheat it contained. Both meals were satisfying. I didn’t feel I’d missed out at all. I think though restaurant owners need to watch Ekberg’s videos. They’d be doing their clientele a massive favour, even if it means increasing what they charge to cover the cost of better ingredients. (Also, despite forgoing the fries and the burger bun, I still had to pay the full price!)
It's very simple. In order to keep people SICK and needing Medicine, the food companies sell more products by making everything ADDICTIVE, which is so easy---just add SUGAR! I think Big Pharma and Big Food companies are in cahoots.
The Nobel price in nutrition should go to Dr Sten Ekberg 💖
26 days of NO SUGAR an at one point in life I couldn’t go 26 minutes without sugar !!And I’ve lost 14 pounds in 24 days!!
That is addiction...like a drug addict
@ That is the most insightful comment in all of these online diet discussions. When I was in my 20s, I also felt great being overweight and eating sugar (except for cavities.) Then in my 50s and 60s, obesity, nerve tingling, high blood pressure, blurry vision, dramatic loss of athletic performance, and high blood glucose levels come to roost. I can now barely handle 40-60g net carbs a day vs. my prior 400+ grams of carbs a day diet. Grrrr.
I cut out sugar 2 weeks ago and have lost 5 pounds so far.
@Vasoz Calories are measured with a machine. It doesn't care if the calories come from fat or sugar. It just measures how long the energy in the food burns. BUT a body is not a machine. It makes a huge difference if you have 100 calories as fat or as sugar. The sugar messes up your metabolism very badly with a lot of bad consequences. The 100 calories as fat don't influence the blood sugar, adrenals etc.
Wow

When I was 15 I think aspartame had just came out and nobody knew at that time how toxic that stuff was. I used to drink Diet Coke every day. About a year later when I was 16. I started getting seizures in my sleep. Nobody could figure out what was causing these seizures. I went to neurologists and they put me on anti seizure medicines. It helped but I was still getting seizures ( I was still drinking driest coke). It wasn’t until a few years later when I was 18. I had my first seizure while awake. I fell and hit my head. I still have a knot and scar there on my forehead where I hit it. I was rushed to the hospital and the doctor looked at my medical history and saw I was taking Tegretol ( anti seizure medicine ) but was still having seizures periodically. So he asked me on that day what I had eaten. I told him my lunch and a Diet Coke. And it was like the pieces all fit. The doctor told me that there had been some recent studies that showed aspartame caused seizures in laboratory rats and this was in the Diet Coke. I had no idea. If the FDA knows this why are they putting it in a drink. I cut Diet Coke out altogether. And once I stopped drinking it I never had another seizure and was able to come off my seizure medicine. Today I am 51 and I will never eat, drink, or touch anything with aspartame in it again and have been seizure free since I was 18. You are right this stuff is straight up poison
Government agencies should never be listened to when it comes to what you put in your body these folks are easily bribed by lobbiests and big money corporations, never ever take a Government agencies word for anything let alone on things you put in your body like the covid vaccines ect.....
Quoting Healthline:
People who have a condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) shouldn’t ingest products containing aspartame. PKU is a rare genetic disease diagnosed at birth. People with PKU aren’t able to properly process phenylalanine, so it can accumulate to dangerous levels in the body.
Quoting Pubmed article -> Epilepsy and phenylketonuria: a case description and EEG-fMRI findings:
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is characterized by phenylalanine accumulation due to phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. Up to 50% of PKU patients experience seizures.

Well, essentially all products sold in convenient stores/markets should be avoided. The only healthier way is to buy unprocessed foods such as meets, veggies, fruits and then make anything you want from those ingredients. Learn how to make your own peanut butter, cake and icecream. Yes, it takes time but it's doable.

He explains it so well, never did I feel sleepy or bored during the long video. Thanks Doc!
This video should be shown and thought at all schools.
Taught
It won't be taught at school because it would interfere with so many Lucrative Companies that are Trillionaires. Likewise, Critical Thinking---analytical thinking, just Plain Thinking About Consequences of Actions will NEVER be taught for the same reason. I didn't know teachers had a Union until I was grown, but always thought of unions as counterproductive and against good ways of living. Those children who have intelligent loving families are blessed because they will be taught the truth and can avoid the psychological traps that induce kids to get hooked on the Sugar Trap (as if their parents had not succumbed to advertising already!)

@@penniroyal4398 Check out some other Dr. Ekberg videos. Cholesterol levels can be up to 450 and you can still be healthy. In fact, elevated cholesterol levels are healthy up to a point.

Thank you so much Doctor for your straight to the point and precise presentation of bad food.

Imagine nursing homes feeding these exact BAD foods with no reprucussions. I have lived in 2 nursing homes that serve these poisonous foods. every meal. There are a lot of sick people here. I told them I wanted to be served organic and raw. It took them quite a while to send me salads. That would be iceberg with carrots on top and non organic salad dressings. I sent those back and finally they sent some dark leafy greens with carrots on top covered with saran wrap and put in a cold fridge. Everything about it was cold and flat, so I rejected it. In Texas, after medicaid and the nursing home takes care of the finances I am left with $60 a month to buy myself some decent fruits and nuts and veggies. $60 is not enough. They display a form called Residents Rights on the wall but they don't follow the rules.
The nutritionist said there was no basis for the foods I was talking about. She did not want to talk to me and walked out the door agitated. Her resistance tells me that these poisonous foods are being served on purpose to keep the people sick. I have listened to a lot of people talking about genocide on this earth. Serving poisonous foods on purpose keeps people sick for a long time.
My feet and legs are swollen. Metabolic acidosis is the main label. Too much acid in my blood. How do I talk this nursing home into serving everyone decent, non poisonous foods?
WOW.
This is heartbreaking to read. I am so sorry you are suffering.
I am 77 years old. I remember an era when I was told that egg was poison. Later came a time when it was said us to eat eggs. They where healthy until, again... eggs should be avoided. I believe that you may eat everything if you do this in balance. Mother lived 103. She ate what she pleased but never too much. I do not trust these rules.
What? You are questioning government inormation based on science? Careful. They are almost at the point of starting witch hunts for anyone that thinks like that.
@@ickster23 almost?
Who ever greases the palm gets the final label on the back...oh it's gooood...gobble it up & be quick about it my realtor has more Florida mansion's for me to buy with your money lol...lol...
Was it more likely that your mother ate less processed foods due to the era she lived in? The rise of ultra processed and fast foods has been mostly in the last 50 years. Previous to that people cooked food at home.
You can play the russian roulette sometimes and still survive. This doesn't mean that russian roulette is safe or that should be tried not too often to be safe. Each body reacts in complex ways to these poisons. You can survive to one donut but each time you take a risk.
"Everywhere we look, there's sugar". So true!!! I look at the mirror and I see sugar. Time to change that! 🤞🏽
Yessssss
If people were to read pure white and deadly a book on sugar it would be eye opening

Probably one of the best videos on nutrition I’ve ever seen...
All of these videos should be taught to children in school.
This guy is tte best. Not just the information he says, the presentation is also amazing.
@Stock Raising , absolutely, every country or continent gas different regs . I think the USA food stds are very low ,
@@punkynoodle9370 I was thinking this very thing. It should be mandatory in our grammar schools, not just one grade, but repeated every other or every three years.
I’m Celiac and used to be depressed as I couldn’t eat any of this stuff, eg breads, biscuits (prefer savoury). And having watched this video I realised that being Celiac is my Saving Grace. 👏🏻
This is what I think as well. Celiac makes it very easy and necessary to not fall back on processed foods. After I reduced even other high carb food I feel even healthier. I even can’t eat a sugary meal now without getting a unpleasent insulin spike. I can feel it’s being bad for my body.
Your dark cloud definitely has a silver lining!
Maybe people with celiac 'disease' are the "normal" ones and what we would have all been in history. It's just the rest of us without this 'disease' somehow have adapted a little more to tolerating it.
Me too.
Blah blah blah
Dr Ekberg, is so detailed. I do research on these items and he's 100% correct. He knows his stuff.
He not only KNOWS it, he can transmit the information because he is skilled in COMMUNICATING. Few people can do this! I remember one teacher who was teaching a subject I really liked and he literally put me to sleep. Fortunately, I had read the book when test time came.
Thank you so much for this amazing lesson
Hey Dr Ekberg! I would love to know what your diet consists of?! Snacks, drinks, everything. You have so much knowledge that I feel following your eating plan would be of great benefit to many! Thankyou so much for your time, talent and efforts!!!!
I'll mjk
Thank you Dr. Eckberg.
I am turning 47 on July and you are a big help for my health. 😊
I always loved whatGaylord Hauser learned from his grandfather, “If you want a healthy living body, you must eat healthy living foods.” And my corollary to that is “The more mankind has messed with it, the worse it is for you, and that goes double for vitamins.”
Vitamin C and D are necessary to protect yourself against so many pathogens and improve your immune system and much more. Both feature prominently in my anti-covid strategy.
My mom's illness causes her to have many deficiencies, so vitamins are essential for her to be taking on the daily.
I am under the impression that I supplement my body first with the best healthy food I can find, and since that in one day I cannot find the variety of nutrients etc... I take vitamins. But again there is a world of difference in the quality... I use Dr.Fhurman .
NOW I am questioning my vitamins...any suggestions

Go to a good health store, ask knowledgeable staff for the independent, quality brands that are not Pharma owned (many have been bought).. then choose to buy online, or at the store or where you get a good deal.
Zero, I have had nun of these products this year and I'm feeling great. Giving up anything with flour or sugar has been a positive experience

Good decision bro
In just two of your videos I have already started a journal to keep up with all of this fantastic information you are sharing. I would really like to give you my gratitude for doing them.
Thank you for teaching me this man. I've been eating super bad my whole life and have recently started watching your fasting videos and have picked up tips. 1 week of intermittent fasting and frequent exercise and I've lost 4 pounds!!
Make this guy a mandatory high school course.

This showed up in my feed, and I almost didn't click on it, AND I expected I'd probably skip through it by fast forwarding a lot.
Instead, I was very interested and pleasantly surprised to find myself soaking it all in. I love the way you explained the "why" of it. I also appreciate that you realize some of us aren't ready to cut out all of the junk immediately, and you offer moderation as an answer.
It's so easy to slip into eating the bad foods. Thankyou for the reminder.
About 30 years ago now, a close friend of mine who has a degree in physics and chemistry, seriously told me off for drinking diet Pepsi. He said it would give me bladder cancer . I never drank the stuff again , and I try very hard to avoid artificial sweetners. I don't do low fat or diet ' foods ' .👍🙏

Dr, I consider myself lucky to have found you. It has been two days and I feel better already. THANK YOU!
Low fat milk is a real eye opener for me. I used low fat 1% milk for over a year now. I never thought they altered milk by chemicals. I will never buy low fat products again.
Matey...see a psychiatrist.
I drink milk directly from the cow-this is controversial now, but I feel much better and brain fog is cleared.
One day I happened to read the LABEL (a good habit to develop) and discovered that "Rich and Creamy" on "Low Fat" product actually meant "Full of Sugar". They were wrong about "fat" being bad; it was "sugar" that was bad. So many people ended up drinking "low-fat" products from unhealthy advice from "experts".
I speak fast but I love the way you speak : clear, conscise, and informative.
It's too slow and too simplistic, like speaking to 12 year olds.. this should be much more concise and shorter.
When I started down this road I first created a mantra, "Pasta is Poison". It helped me stop eating pasta, which I grew up on in an Italian family. Then I added, "The only thing we are supposed to drink is water". When I was going to Weight Watchers I heard people say, "I don't like water" the leaders would tell these people to drink diet soda. I knew I was in the wrong place. Thank you for this list. I still have a few that trip me up now and then. I am still a work in progress.
RedHotFiat I love your mantra !
Pasta is better than bread because it's not frankengrain, but it's still something that should be limited at the very least, if not eliminated. Grains in general as not healthy, and in refined form they are a disaster.
NJ Murphy For bread & Sweets, I use Dr Berries “Carbage”.
Cullan Shine pasta is made with flour so no different

... only trouble is pasta is a comfort food. I am striving to go on a high fat low carb diet, but am tempted to eat high carb like pasta once in a way. Is it my imagination that make me sometime feel my distilled water tastes a litile sweet.
Thank you sir. I've worked in the baking industry for 10 years. Seen all kinds of additives that goes into breads and rolls. I really appreciate you confirming my "argument" with folks about artificial sweetners and margarine. Anyway, thank you so much for you taking the time and making this video.

It's interesting what you said the artificial sweeteners. Everyone of those my mother and my sisters and brorher used those sweeteners religiously. Those packets were all over house when I was growing up. I'm the youngest and never even had a pinch of that stuff. The term "artificial sweeteners" was a turnoff for me so I never indulged it. They all drank diet sodas for decades by the caseload. My mother since passed with health disease, diabetes and kidney failure. My oldest sister also had heart disease and diabetes. At 56 she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. My other sister is diabetic and has congestive heart failure. My brother has heart disease. I'm just about 52 in a few weeks and never been diagnosed with a disease. Just about 5 years ago I decided I was not going to wait on a diagnosis. I focused on eating healthy. I lift weights and run sprint. I actually run a 11.4 100 meter dash at 51. I lost almost 90 lbs. I am so grateful, though I grew up on unhealthy, I didn't indulge some of the worst things you listed. Also as a child I didn't like cake or donuts. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Wow.
You sound intuitively wise! I watch my family eat garbage & they'll never change
Deb Dub Raw vegan is great for detoxing to death.
H.O.P.E.
Great info in this film.
Yeah its just sad that some kids grow up in unhealthy families. My kids will need to eat well until they become adults. Possibly keto/atkins/paleo diet. Im glad my parents always forced me to eat the healthy stuff first so i couldnt induldge too much on the bad stuff.
A previous comment said it. ‘You are intuitively wise.’ That, in itself, is a precious gift. My wife’s family are all very heavy and they are incorrigible, and the worst of it, is that they are impervious to change or enlightenment. My wonderful wife is heavy but she eats more wisely, but internalizes all her stress and that really makes it difficult for her to be where she wants to be. I myself am at an ideal weight but I never try to inform because it’s seldom welcome especially being someone who is perceived as being ‘skinny’. That’s where these comment sections are helpful. I have a chance to vent.
I just did not appreciate till now how much our food is messed with. I've been watching Dr Eckberg's videos for a little while now and have learned to shift my diet to actual food as much as I can.
Yes...coconut oil is all we use here in the Philippines! And it's locally sourced!
I used to make my own virgin coconut oil when I was in the Philippines.
I try to focus on eating my favorite truly healthy foods as much as possible instead of thinking in terms of avoiding my favorite junk foods. Fill up on the former and you'll have little space for the latter.
Best video I've seen ever on this subject. Sending it to my family and friends. Thank you, you explain this so much better than I can.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your excellent work. I agree with everything you said. Literally everything. It is great to hea from a real doctor who actually cares about people...not pushing drugs. If only we could get medical training to focus on proper nutrition instead of how th system is now..bless you and àl the other real doctors out there. ❤
I’ve enjoyed recently watching your videos as of late. After dumping Carbs as we called it I could always drop 10-30 lbs it never failed. Now that I’m over 50 I understand so much more and I guess we all have over the last 10 years. Your videos have helped a lot. I just can’t at my age eat whatever I want as long as I think it’s low Carb. The science you lay out in your presentations expands ones ability to get it right without guessing. The fasting is a bomb. After a little while u just don’t want to eat for 18 hours; one extends the 12 hours without even thinking about it. I must admit the when I got to the point where I was ready to try it ; the first 2 or 3 days those last 2 hours were a real challenge. You will feel the health benefits in 30 days it’s undeniable. Combining a low impact exercise ruin makes it all fit together. Thanks again for sharing
I can't fast as I am diabetic. And it's not possible
@@paulhamick9429 can you heal your diabetes ? Dr Berg and dr Jason Fung talks about it all the time 🤗
Hi Doctor, thank you so I’ve eaten all 10 of these in my lifetime. I’m 68 years old since March of 22 I’ve been using your advice and I’ve lost close to 40 lbs. my biggest struggle at this point is sugar.

I’m still at my goal weight but sugar is still problem. I can’t have a little and stop right there.
@Nancy Dublin
Hi Nancy,
I’ve been trying my hardest to keep carbs and sugar as low as possible. Like I said I started in March of 22 so it’s been a year now.
I was on blood pressure medication when I started. I’m off medication now and have been since last June. I was 215 pounds when I started and I’m staying between 175 and 180 now and have for the last couple of months. I weight in every morning 1st thing and I think if I didn’t my weight would creep back up. Vacations and holidays are my biggest challenges because of the abundance of sweets and carbs around the house.
I use a weight tracker app and it keeps me on track. I’m 68 years old and I feel better now than I have for years.
So Nancy go for it!!
You can do it for free too. No special foods to buy. Just cut carbs and sugar. Watch the great videos for inspiration and instruction.
The last thing I should mention is I noticed pretty quickly good things happening with my weight dropping a couple of pounds a week. Let me know how you do. Good luck
Stevia or Monk fruit sweetener. Still need to read ingredients. Make sure no additives.
I’m overweight but working on it. Have cut out virtually all sugar over the past 5 years. Still dealing with excess weight. Need to get exercising.
This is basically all my food 😔
But now that I know better, I will do better 😁

You should create breakfast lunch snacks and dinner plans for people. That's my biggest problem is trying to figure out every day what to feed my family without poisoning myself and them. It's so hard when half the food in the US is poisoned
Difficult, yes but impossible, NO. You have to be your own investigator and find what works for you! This is a good start.

One of his best vids...a beautifully integrated talk on common foods that do us so much harm.
To be fair ALL his vids are full of amazing information
I've replaced "10" with either almond milk or full cream, "3" I've replaced with butter. ''6" my cereal is full grain, no added sugar and bread is full whole meal. None of the others refer to my diet.
I use almond butter and I love it. Way better than peanut butter for me. I still have peanut butter but not often and always go organic. What kind of wheat bread u buy? I go for silver hills. Best in class if u ask me.
I just forwarded this valuable link to members of my precious family. I told them that Sten Ekberg is the ´champion of clear explaining´.

I have not eaten any of the top 10 list since I started digesting these videos back in Jan. '23. My A1C is at 5.0, down from 7.9. I am now off all diabetic medication since March and was able to stop the last of my BP meds in June as my BP is at 118/50 with-in 5 points either way. My morning fasting glucose is between 75-100. It is so easy to do OMAD when I properly balance low carb, protein & fat. I never weigh myself except at Dr. Apts, but I am down from 208 to 145 since Jan. '23. If, (when) I feel hungry after I have had proper meals I use the bullet proof coffee, often at first but hardly ever any more. I eat 2MAD when I am with family and friends and socials. Once I learned what to eat and what not to eat, it is an easy lifestyle. It does take some time and planning, but with beef in the freezer, some emergency frozen veggies, nuts, seeds and Greek Yogurt I can always have an acceptable meal. I keep frozen Salmon and never let my shelf be empty of Sardines, eggs and avacoda. I feel great, sleep longer and better and have a great mood. I wish all Doctors would learn this lifestyle and learn specifics on blood labs and colesterol numbers so there would be back up for this lifestyle. I never stopped any medications without consultation and recommendation from my PC MD. As of 09/02/2023 everything still going very well, my weight is 140 #'s fully clothed wearing shoes. I have been 2mad and and my "cheating" has been 1/2 Asian Pare or a couple of small plums 1-2 times a week . I did stop cheese and cut my portions of Red meat & pork and eggs so my Western Doctor will not want to put me on a Collateral meds.

By the way, since I see you and my dad have the same issue, and you are both 83, one of the things I have noticed about him is, he is so set in his ways that it is SUPER hard for him to make changes, even when they are clearly helpful. It takes him years to make healthy changes, but once he does he gets it. So, try not to be too stuck in those lifelong choices and habits. Years ago, my dad wouldn't dream of eating food that wasn't fried. He will regularly bake chicken and fish now.
@@TheFatSonny I bought an air fryer. Problem solved.
If you've lived to be 83, I'd say YOU are the expert on what to eat, rather than the "doctor" in this video! I'd love to see a video made by you, about what you eat and how you've stayed healthy enough to get to age 83. :)
To be clear, this is not sarcasm -- I really do like hearing what people age 80+ have to say about what they eat and how they've lived as long as they have. I hope to live at least that long myself!
