      There is carbs in vegetables, so you should say your carbs come from vegetables. If you eat fruit there is carbs and fructose in them. I never say I don’t eat carbs because I do eat carbs, but very low carbs. I am more a meat eater then anything else. Just had bloodwork and my triglycerides were 30. Best ever. My liver panel was great also. I do eat very little sugar, which is normally Coconut sugar, or keto sweeteners, which I try not to eat much of it. I’m happy with my body because I’m losing the inflammation that was in my body. Happy you are doing great with your journey.

      I’m your age and just started to modify my diet having decided to lose weight and get strong and healthy. Rather than no carbs I stopped many of them eg bread, sweet fruits, chocolate, desserts, fruit juices and milk but I eat a small portion of white rice daily with meat, vegetables, eggs and yoghurt and most importantly I stopped snacking between main meals. I think the intermittent fasting is also really important. Early days yet but I’m over the withdrawals and the satisfying fatty meat dishes that I love along with lots of tea and water helped close out the sugar cravings. I still plan to allow for cheat meals and occasional beer but it’s an exercise in moderation and discipline having learnt to appreciate the importance of the lifestyle change. Sten’s videos have been incredibly helpful!

      Thanks for that. Exactly what I was looking for. A half a pound every week or two pounds monthly. Perfect. Slow but doable. I don't want to completely stop or really can't. I take honey daily because since I became 60 (65 now) I have pee issues😢. So I take a couple tablespoons of honey daily. No issues until I stop. So I have to be able to keep honey in my daily diet. So zero to low sugar for me. Medicine is truly our healing miracle path to health. Heres to alternative health vs western medicine

      if you ever read this response: you can have sweetener, HOWEVER, there's an ingredient that you ALWAYS must look before buy: sodium cyclamate.... if the sweetener have it, DON'T BUY IT! ALWAYS LOOK for that ingredient before ingesting on restaurants, cafes, or buying on a grocery store... but careful, your tastebuds will be sensitive to sweet, so, you may have to start consuming sweet again slowly, so you don't overwhelm your taste buds and think it's too sweet hahaha...
      now, speaking about sweeteners (talking of in liquid form), there are 3 kinds: those who are compatible with warm-only temperature, those who are compatible with low-temperature only and those who are compatible with any temperature... unfortunately, there's no way to discern this, only by trying each one of them until you find the perfect sweetener: WITH NO SODIUM CYCLAMATE AND COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH WARM AND COLD TEMPERATURES...
      HOWEVER tho, i've seen that sweeteners (always talking in liquid form) that are no compatible with warm temperature, TAINTS the milked coffee with a whiter color, like it's not suposed to be there, another thing that i've witnessed is that if a sweetener it's too bland (or not too concentrated), it can modify the texture of what you're cooking or increase the liquid volume on your cup (it happened to me several times, and i had to look for a new brand, etc., it's a tedious process but i'm a sweet tooth hahaha).
      also, stevia sweeteners in liquid form usually don't come with the ingredient i just talked about, but always look at the ingredient table.
      another thing before leaving you (which is my case for being a sweet tooth xD ): IF i ever go out to have a coffee (which i don't because i also avoid sugar like the plague hahahah and sweeteners on those places also don't help), i'd have either a black coffee without sugar (which i still can't get use to) or a regular one with plain sugar.
      try not to use sweetener in powder form at home.
      i truly hope that these tips helps you out to find a new way to enjoy a sweet treat and coffee without the worries of the sugar intake, and also, a more fulfilling snack/coffee
      i apologize for such a long post, it was the only way to explain everything and leaving you the best of an advice :D thank you for your time!

    I cut out sugar around March as part of intermittent fasting and exercise and took off 25 pounds. Last month I had my teeth cleaned (every six months). My dental health is good with minor inflammation. For years and years, the hygienist always started with manual work then would switch to the ultrasonic which would take about a half hour. This time the hygienist noted that I had NO inflammation at all and started the manual cleaning. In less than 10 minutes she asked me what flavor polish I wanted. She said my teeth and gums were in great shape and no other cleaning was necessary. I'm 68 years old btw.

I have hanging belly fat and i know exactly what i need to eat and how i can lose weight but i still struggle, especially on weekends. I stay awake and eat the whole night and day which makes my week of good eating worthless. I dont know what to do. I have a good girlfriend, i have a good Family and people love being around me. I have no reason to be binge eating, people ask me out but i refuse because i am ashamed to be outside. I will try losing weight today again and i am crying because i want it to work.

      The reason for this is that you replace the calories you previously got from carbs with other ones, likely protein more than fat. Protein makes one feel full longer than carbs do, hence you eat less. It has nothing in and of itself to do with low/no-carb.

    I've only been off sugar 5 days and I already notice several changes. One being the way "hunger" has been modified. I do 16-20 hour fasts almost daily and I'm used to feeling serious hunger prior to my eating. Now is a little different and hard to describe but it's like this: I still "feel" that I am hungry when my fast is over (empty stomach, hormones signalling time to eat, etc.), but they don't "compel" me to eat. I can ignore them and not trip off it. These feelings are still real and they are there but its like I don't really care or don't feel like listening to them. In a way, it's subtle but in a way it's very powerful.

Started this journey due to irregular and heavy menstrual cycles. I believe that when there’s “issues” in the body, it’s simply a stop sign/sos that’s saying “hey, look over here. I’m not healthy. Please help.”
    I believe that most things can be cured through lifestyle changes versus medications/pharmaceuticals and that’s what I’ll prove.

    I stumbled over your channel just a few days ago, by accident or chance.
    No matter what, I’m glad I did. I’ve seen several of your videos now and what you speak of feels so logical. Thank you.
    I wish I lived in USA so I could book a session or as many as it would take at your clinic.
    The job you’ve put down making your videos must be massive. I am soooo impressed.
    From the bottom of my heart I say thank you. 🙏
    You’ve inspired me to take control over my own life, not for anyone else but myself. For my own health benefits, because no one but myself can make it for me.
    I’m sorry if my grammar or word of choice in English isn’t perfect, English is not my first language. If you don’t mind I continue in Swedish.
    Tack och åter tack.
    Vilken insats. Jag är mer än imponerad.
    Det finns INGENTING av det jag hittills sett som inte känns något annat än klockrent. Det känns så jäkla logiskt. Och allt annat som förespråkas känns som ox-skit (om det är okej att försvenska ett utländskt uttryck). Räkna kalorier i all ära. Tallriksmodellen som man blivit itutad sedan barns ben. Fett är förenat med livsfara nästintill. Viktv*ktarna som säljer ”hälso-mat”, som är hög-processad ”mat” (läs bukfyll) med lågt fett-innehåll som är fullproppat med socker för att det smaka något. Det känns ologiskt för mig.
    Lätt-margariner får jag utslag av, jag tål det inte, jag får utslag av det. Något man på traditionella sjukvården starkt ifrågasätter att jag kan vara. När jag påpekade det så fick jag svaret ”man kan bli eller tro sig vara allergisk mot precis vad som helst”.
    Så när jag ser dina/era videos så säger jag ”JA! Äntligen någon som vågar säga och prata om sanningen. Någon som vågar säga som det är.”
    Jag kan inte beskriva i ord den tacksamhet och respekt jag just nu känner. Tack för den spark i baken dina inspirerande videos har gett mig.
    Jag förväntar mig inte att det ska bli enkelt och en dans på rosor men jag tror heller inte att det ska vara så svårt som folk (skrämsel-propagerande) ska ha det till.
    Du borde göra pod. Jag (och garanterat fler än jag) hade inte haft något emot att lyssna på dina föredrag på typ Spotify. Då mister man dina bra slides och illustrationer men mycket av det du pratar om är inspirerande och ren fakta. Du hade mästrat det också.
    Kanske något att tänka på?
    (Jag ber om ursäkt om min engelska var inkorrekt. Jag hoppas ändå att poängen kom med.)
    Tack och tack igen.
    Önskar allt gott.
    Med vänlig hälsning Anna

While continuing to exercise without various sugar sources not only is the arthritis pain mostly gone from the sugar-caused inflamation but I now weigh 20 pounds less than at the time of my solitary bout in the ring in 1967. Stomach is almost flat and I'm more comfortable. Thanks Sten!

Got rid of gout which was making a mess of my body and limiting my mobility. Teeth stopped rotting and are just holding on now instead of getting worse. Dizzy spells and tingling in my fingers are all gone. Brain fog and lethargy are gone.

    I only have a dessert on the weekends. I pick either a Sunday or a Saturday. I’ve been doing this for over a year now. I’ve lost 15kg, and I don’t crave sweets at all. It was a rough transition though. I think I was irritable for about a week or two. Quit coffee as well, and it was also for the better. You can do it. Just remain persistent. People will try to tempt you, but don’t give in.

    I'm about 11:36 into the video and I noticed he didn't mention this but just for those of you who are curious... When you decrease the amount of sugar you intake, especially the simple sugars; your body will create less prolactin. Prolactin is one of the many things that will create a breeding ground of anxiety within a person. So find ways to decrease prolactin and that will help you tremendously!

      @@kimberlyjameson7236 it’s especially important for females in my opinion seeing as the estrogen you as a female produce is more than a man generally speaking. And excess estrogen is horrible. It makes you lethargic, lazy, unmotivated, produces an insane amount of anxiety and a feeling of being scared and not grounded as well as not being able to utilize your mind and brain to full capacity due to excess amount of anything really. So anything that increases it past a healthy level for you as a woman will only ever be to your detriment. And prolactin just compounds on top of it. Soy products also contain estrogen. There is so much information out there that if you look it up and apply the correct info to your life and live it, you’ll be revitalized and accomplish anything you set your mind to. You just need to reach a point where it matters enough for you to do it. It’s like a smoker. You can’t quit unless you decide to and no one can do it for you.
      Good luck to you and your endeavors! Be well and may God bless the path ahead of you.
