I have not been having my breakfast for over years. I do have my lunch, which is Veg and little bit of non Veg, still keeps me going through God's grace 🙏. I am 70 years old now. I walk every day for almost One hour. Praise the lord 🙌
I have been practicing this diet for ten months now. I went from 212 lbs to 164. My waist went from 36 to 31, my jacket size from 46 to 42 reg. My glucose from 123 average to 85. I have never felt better! Thank you so much for the great coaching! You saved me! Update- it has now been 14 months and all is well. I decided to add one 48 hour fast once/ month as part of my overall routine. The thing I am noticing now more than ever is my energy level continues to increase. Along with that ambition to get more done around the house.
Well done mate. Thats some impressive stats. Sounds like you need a new credit card though! None of your clothes fit!!! (In a good way). Not sure I have the sizes right but.... 36 to 31? At my best I was only a 32 and THAT was thin... careful mate - don't get too thin. And I have NO IDEA how to register glucose...
@@Robocrap breakfast..break fast The first meal of the day, after sleep, is breaking the 'fast' of the night. Whatever time of day, your first meal, is your break,-fast.
That's why I stopped calling it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I called it 1st meal, 2nd meal, and 3rd meal. I never like eating early in the morning. I have my first meal around noon.
Traveling in Germany the breakfast bars are huge and the older Germans eat hearty breakfasts with cold cuts, rolls, fruit… fueling up for the day. Could pass for an American lunch. Is granolas and thick yogurts too. They are not a fat population. Drop down to Italy, breakfast bar food quality severely drops with junky cereals and it looks more like an American am cheap food lineup.
I stumbled onto this channel three months ago. Dr Sten has changed my lifestyle for good. I’ve lost over thirty pounds with twenty to go. After the sugar withdrawals it became easier for me. My new motto is if it’s sweet don’t eat. I eat very small amounts of carbs. I try very hard to eat foods that maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’m 75yrs old . I’ve been overweight for the last thirty years. Nothing worked to get the weight off. I would just give up. A final resolve set in when I found this channel. By Golly ! It’s working!. I won’t quit because I understand how my body works now. It has come late in life for me but I feel better than ever. Most likely adding years to my life. Dr Sten, your the man ! I can’t thank you enough. 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome, likewise… So, happy for You. I am not overweight, but I am petite. So, I can’t be more than 100 or 105 at the most 😊 And found Dr. Stern’s program, been practicing it for almost a month. I ate very small carb and avoiding sugar, like You said , if it’s sweet don’t eat it 😊 Feel healthy and energetic, I do the exercise 30 minutes/day. Thank You Dr, You are Awesome 👍👍🙏
I m diabetic and 5 days ago my doc told me that I have hypertension ( bp168), I am 95kgs and overweight by 24 kilos. I started to watch your videos 5 days ago (subscribed) and I have learnt so much from your videos. I have started IF and cut off sugar. It’s my 4th day on 2MAD/18:6. I am already feeling so much better.. I no longer feel hunger pangs, no tingling feelings in my legs or restlessness at night.I ll share my progress as I continue my weight loss journey with you all every Friday! Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg.
Beautiful 🙂 would like to know your progress..... I was a brink of getting BP and am changing my diet now... let's take this journey, there are many good testimonies here, am sure we will conquer too.... all the best with your journey 🌱
Hi all, I have now started OMAD with two cups of lemon, ginger and cumin concoction in the morning and before bed. Trust me, you will not get hungry. I am someone who ate full plates of rice with every meal for all three meals. I never walked half mile in my life and now I can walk 2 miles easily without huffing and puffing( I am a chain smoker). Rice is staple food for us and I can’t give it up completely, I still eat a full plate of rice ( and more sometimes) during my meal time. I checked my weight on 27th nov and I was 86 kgs. It must be water weight to some extend but I have also stopped having anything with added sugar including coke ( which was my go to drink). Oh my blood pressure has returned to normal 123/79 from a high of 168/100 last week. My glucose had decreased from 348 to 159 even with rice as my main meal. So happy with my progress. Next: I will try to reduce my intake of rice but it will take a while to completely cut it off and seriously if my progress is steady, I don’t think I will cut it off completely 😝
Intermittent fasting has been amazing for me. I have more energy, clear / sharp mind & I've lost 6lbs in 3 weeks (bonus). I also cut sugar out of my diet and reduced my carbs to less than a third of what I had been consuming. Great facts Dr. Ekberg. Explained clearly, thank you.
I've lost 25 to 30 lb I'm in no rush incorporating the fasting diet 16,-21 hours a day. I do it a minimum of 4 days 5 days. In my mind is alert my energy is 80%.
Been doing this for over 4 years. Best body composition of my life, lost essentially all of my midsection fat, and helped my cholesterol and blood pressure among other things
Breakfast is simply the meaning of the word, the meal that break your fast, it indeed is the most important meal of the day, but you don’t need to have it right when you wake up. So I always have my “breakfast” at 6pm, no food during my working period have give me more focus and energy, belly fat melt away and gained 6 pack by literally doing nothing, simple and health.
id feel hard done by, I work a 12.5hr shift I do those 3 days or nights a week and I would honestly feel like crying. I'd go through a lot of tissues LOL. I need to study this idea better.
@@D47JoyUnited Right, do some more research and come up with your own method. I did some test before come up with my final decision on OMAD like measuring my urinate ketone level at the same time during each day, performance on work out after a 23 hrs fast, just by doing these test through 45 days dropped 15lb fat alone cause my lean muscle mass increased. Hope this help:)
I started practicing this a year ago, and the benefits are incredible, I can’t go back, when I try to eat breakfast, I lose all energy. I’m eating one meal a day, and feel younger at 48 than when I was on my 30. Thanks for your videos.
I'm obese and near 50 and have been intermittent fasting (16/8) for about 3 months, with very little variance/slip-ups. Despite not making many other dietary changes, I have had more energy, less pain, sleep better, and feel more "alive" than I have in years. I have gotten SO many more things done than I would have otherwise! Looking forward to the next steps on my path to a healthier life! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
That’s awesome! I’ve been doing IF 16/8 for 6 months now and have only lost about 10 pounds. I’m going to start counting and lowering my carbs and hopefully that will help. 😬
I can confirm that this works! I´m 70 and have been practising this more and more consequent for years. Never felt better! Still working in periods. No medicines. No diabetes (runs in the family) or other health issues. Wake up alert after only 5-6 hours sleep. Love healthy cooking - once a day! Freedom!!
Seeing you here is divine and it has transformed my life. I can’t believe it!! I started intermittent fasting on the 16th October by walking 2 hours everyday, my sugar level is now 85 from 220. No drugs Weight 105 to 90kg. I have my balance now and used my 57 staircase steps 10 times up and down today. and am never out energy. May God bless you abundantly. By His grace I shall hit my weight loss target by February 2022. Am 56yrs.
@@sumana101 Thank you for everything. My sugar is perfect now!! Between 45 to 60. And my weight has dropped to 86kg. All my friends are taking tutorials from me now 😀I look beautiful and younger!😀😀 I am very very thankful and I am going to maintain this beautiful new found body and good health. ❤️🌺🙏🏻👍
Following your circadian rhythm and skipping dinner instead of breakfast also has many great benefits. Your fat burning and metabolizing hormones are higher during the day, and in the evening as we approach darkness hormones such as melatonin which ramp down our bodily functions and prepare us for sleep start to become more dominant in the body. The protocol that I recommend is, work out in the morning fasted, eat breakfast as your post workout meal, do not eat after dark. I lost 70 lbs in one year doing this.
For me basically I have a 4 hour eating window before the start of my shift. If I start at 6pm I eat at 2pm and finish my bulletproof coffee before the start of my shift. On days where I don't have work or don't play hockey/sport or don't workout I just don't eat (fast) which for me tends to be Saturday
With keto and intermiting fasting I lost 11kg for 3 months, gave up medicine for high blood pressure, solve bloating, heart burning...in the last time I often have breakfast at 8 to 9 o clock in the morning, but i havent had meal till 4 o clock the day before, 16hours at least, average time for me would be 18hours of fasting. Anyway, thank you Dr Sten for your advices a lot!!!
Having started keto and IF since March this year, I can vouch that every word Dr Sten has said in this video is a 100% true, never felt better,never felt hungry. Lost weight and feel great
I had some limited success on Keto but when I found Dr. Ekberg's video on intermittent fasting I combined the fasting with Keto and the weight just began falling off. I lost 41 pounds in three months Dr. Ekberg is a gift from God..
Your videos are lifesavers. Been following your advice for the last two years or so. Dropped over 30kg of bodyweight and most of the time I only eat one meal a day. As someone who used to get the shakes and feel terrible if I didn't eat for around 3 - 4 hours, I thought intermittent fasting would be impossible. But by doing it gradually as you suggest I can now regularly go 24 hrs or more without eating. Less carbs = less cravings. Also I do manual work for a living and don't suffer from lack of energy. Also running a 5k after not eating for day would have been impossible before. Now I don't think anything of it. Everything you say is true. I can vouch for that first hand. Thank you again.
At last! My husband brows beats me about skipping or delaying breakfast. I tend to head for a warm tea or two, when I arise. We get up early and I'm not tempted to eat until 10:00. If I miss that window, I wait for lunch. Thank you for clarifying what I have long suspected. I'm determined to lose weight and improve my general health over winter.
No breakfast for 3 months now and I feel great! And when I eat, there is no more refined sugar, ultra porcess carbs, and seed oils! Thanks Dr. Ekberg for educating people!
I have never had problems with weight and regardless of what I eat I never put on weight. I have been told for years I am just lucky but watching your videos makes me aware that my own intuition was always correct. I never eat until around lunch time, cheese cravings before bed & I listen to the impulses my body sends. If I fancy cheese I eat it. If I'm craving spinach? I eat it. Cinnamon? I eat it. We should stop worrying about what the research says and listen to the body It knows exactly what it needs and which foods are available that contain it. 💚 thank you so much for your wisdom & expertise 🙏
"Weight", by itself, isn't a measure of health. Heavier is healthier, controlling for waist circumference. Check your score on the ABSI calculator online.
I started out slowly with intermittent fasting three months ago with choosing better and healthier foods and yes I stop drinking sugary drinks cut down on snacks and workout at least five days a week now I've lost 21lbs with still more to go but I don't crave foods and I have to make myself eat it's absolutely amazing how our bodies responds to better health once we truly give ourselves a chance to see and feel the difference, thank you for helping me understand how the body works through the foods we eat or not eat 😀
It's been more than one month that I just take water, lemon and cider vinagre for breakfast and I can go running for 20km or biking for 100km without any food. I feel super energized and at 55 I can say that I never felt so great. I started a low carb diet 2 months ago and skipping breakfast was so natural that I didn't even felt pain. Thanks for all your videos and recommendations, they really changed the way I look to food and health!
I was t2d give months ago. My A1c is now 5.3 mainly thanks to you for educating me on nutrition and physiology. You sir are the absolute best source people can have helping them improve their health. Please keep up the exceptional work you do. Nobody, but nobody explains things as well as you on this topic.
Thank you Alan Clark. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I freed myself from all the myths created by companies and well meaning health professionals and its life changing. Sometimes when i'm doing an activity which requires a little bit of walking and concentration I am at the 24 hour fasting point and I'm fully pumped up with energy. Way more than the people worrying about where we are going to eat. I broke the habit of always doing an activity and eating before and after. GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Yes people say "don't miss your breakfast". I never ever felt hungry when first getting up. I used to make myself eat before I went to work because I thought I might faint from lack of food mid morning. Then I discovered fasting and low carb and read up on the science . Now I generally don't eat until lunchtime, or even later if I'm not hungry. I have also lost weight. 😃
I found your channel about 2 months ago and the first thing I did was cut out all sugar and breakfast. I then incorporate my meals with foods that you recommended for snacks and main meals and WOW, what a change. I’m now burning fat and building muscle fast.I had already been exercising regularly but with these changes my six pack soon showed itself. This is me for life now. Thank you. You’re channel is a life changer.
For about 6 months I have been not eating until 5 to 6 PM and then another meal around 10 to 11 PM. I have certainly got healthier doing this and all the markers Dr Sten mentioned had improved, but my BP was still higher than I wanted. About 2 months ago I introduced kale and beetroot into my daily main meal and everything else is the same. Blood pressure now down from 140/95 to 115/75 in just 2 months. Stoked!!!!
It is said one should not eat just before bed. Eating so late might help explain your earlier numbers. You could also try stopping around 7PM but still, great work!
because of your channel & videos, i have stop eating breakfast and supper for nearly 9 mths, fast 12 to 16 hrs per day ... and i feel great, my body pain going away one by one without any medication ... no plan to stop anytime soon ... maybe never
When I started working out, my two main mistakes were lack of sleep and not eating enough (not being in a caloric surplus). I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my first diet plan created (I think it was from Dietarize iirc). I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 3000 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.
Even tho this is clearly an ad. I never understood, the logic of eating more to LOSE weight 🤔 Cause there's none. Like eat different. Maybe less frequent. Replace some foodstuffs for healthier options. Avoid some maybe that u have an intolerance for. But eating more of what u are already eating, to LOSE weight, sounds cray cray lol. Am happy Dr Fung (and Dr Ekberg & Dr Berg too actually) makes that clear! Argue with yourselves on this😁✌🏿
Always look forward to Friday’s. Thank you Dr. E for the outstanding lessons! I’ve lost 30 lbs and friends and family want to know how I did it. I share you with them.
Thank you Robbie Evans for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg I sure will keep it up. Thank you for the encouragement and all the information. I love learning new things about how the body works. I no longer run from diet to diet which are useless at least in the long term. Now I think about what you have taught me and make my choices from that. Thanks again! 👍🏻❤️ See ya next Friday!
i'm 52 and I stopped eating breakfast about 6 months ago. I have seen only positive results from this. I always have energy in the morning and have been able to keep my weight at a healthy and consistent level.
Thank you for the life-changing advice! I now eat less, enjoy/appreciate food more, feel more energy, spend less money on food... My weight went down a bit (from 84 to 79 kg) I feel confy in my body. I'm also doing some small pushup workouts, at least 20-30 a day. I feel my cholesterol went down. Ill get a proof of it when ill go to see a doctor for a regular health check. Im basically hungry for 14-16hrs a day for more than 2 months and it feels great.
I havent been eating breakfast since i was 15, i'm now 33. I used to be a bit chubby, but from 20, ive been at 70KG all my life @ 186cm I went through 2 years of gym going which carved out my muscles, even a six pack. I then stopped going 3 years ago, but still have my muscle definition. I always have lots of energy, i always jump and run around. Usually I eat a meal around/after lunchtime and a slightly bigger meal after the usual dinner time. I also snack right before going to bed. All my life i have been going against the recommendations, as my body felt better doing it my way. Your videos slowly help me discover why my body is the way it is. Thank you, i feel less weird!
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. I been doing intermittent fasting for two months now. I thought that my weight plateau is 75kg but surprisingly now I am around 60-61 kg. My waist reduce from 35 to 28. I feel better and never sick since I started this journey. Hopefully this sustain for years to come. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
@@sumana101 .. 1/2 months 2 meals per day.. after that will be one meal per day until now. No eating later than 3:00pm for me. 1st step is cutting on sugar granules.. by that I already reached what I thought to be my plateau weight 68kg.. but I am wrong.. 2nd steps is hard but worth it.. cutting on carbs like rice, noodles and breads… that how the weight lowered than 68kg.. now weighing 60-62kg.. my advice is find the meals that suit your needs.. good luck 🤞
@@GT-sl9ur thanks for the reply...when it was two meals , what were your timings and how much was your intake of water quantity ... were you on complete veggies and fruits or even you had rice and all ? Second one you came to one meal, apart from 3 pm meals , were you on any supplements ?
@@GT-sl9ur and any workout routines ...please mention that too... congratulations for the inch and weight loss ... I would definitely follow your advice
@@sumana101 thanks to Dr. Ekberg.. it’s an eyes opener.. i am not vegan.. for two meals: I have my breakfast n Lunch.. the on one meal: late lunch.. food wise : salad without any starchy vegetables.. fruits likes berries.. make sure it’s not sugary.. plus chicken breast of steak.. Juice will be avocado blend with unsweetened almond milk..
Dr.Ekberg, I've been watching your videos for roughly 2 years and I just want to thank you for the amazing free advice that has helped me achieve the level of health that I couldn't before. As an avid cyclist living in Canada, with arthritis who thought I was eating healthy, (trainer's advice) cut out sugars and most carbs, it wasn't too difficult to shed the weight. But the last few years was getting more difficult as I reached 50. Now with intermittent fasting and healthy diet of your knowledge you share re all foods I've reached a weight I haven't since my early 20's and had great cycling results this past year and have managed to keep my arthritis inflammation to a minimum. THANK YOU for all your vids and work you have put into them.
I’m glad I found your channel I’ve been doing IF 16:8 for a month now and it’s feels so good Being a filipino I believed all those myths for 33 years 😭 Thank you so much Dr. Sten☺️
I do the 18/6 diet for 2 weeks now. Went from 256 pounds to 245… Basically I stop eating around 7PM don’t eat until 1PM the other day. So no breakfast. And I feel better. More energy. Kinda weird. But works.
I’ve been following you for a while, love your teachings Dr E! Although I have a good figure, I have always battled with belly fat and intermittent fasting is slowly making a difference in this department. Thank you, keep up the good work!
Dr. Ekberg, the information you share with the world is priceless and indispensable. I always worried my toddler didn't like a large breakfast, or sometimes refused to eat breakfast until a bit later in the day. I definitely feel better after this video! P.s. not saying a toddler needs to lose weight or that it's good for her to skip meals, just that I'm less worried!
For me breakfast is at 10am especially after a workout. It is important for me in order to get my working day started . So breakfast is whatever time that suits your lifestyle. In my opinion.
Everything that Dr. Sten Ekberg says here is correct. Intermittent fasting helped me move from diabetic to pre-diabetic and virtually not diabetic according to my doctor. I lost weight over 28lbs and my blood pressure also reduced. Thanks and also to you and Dr Jason Fung for improving my health. My sister followed and has had similar results. My ex partner followed and had similar results. We are all very happy with your work and advice.
As always Sten, fantastic content. I stopped eating breakfast over a month ago and I don't miss it at all. Also most days in the week I only have 1 meal (Keto-based) over a period of 1-2 hours and I feel great. Lost weight, more energy, and I am much happier.
According to a person whose not from the medical field... I feel ....Breakfast is definitely time based and not a must... The best time is to eat is only when one is hungry...this excludes those on certain meds. Not to forget to stay hydrated Great video Doctor and thank you for all your efforts.👍
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, your videos are great an inspiring. I have lost 29lbs since i first started watching your videos about 5 weeks ago! I have another 30 to go, but i have made great progress so far and feel really great! Thanks again for all you do!
Dr. Ekberg and others on the internet who make videos about Keto and low-carbohydrate diets have been a God send for me. But, with due respect to the others, Dr. Ekberg's videos have been the easiest for me to watch and have been the most informative to me.
Thank you Dr sten . I followed you since the end of July . I started intermittent fasting and keto since August 1st i lost 51 pounds and I feel awesome.
I've been skipping breakfast for 18 months now. Lost 44 lbs with keto and then moved to low carb diet which is more sustainable for me. I have a tall glas of black coffee in the morning that keeps my hunger at bay until noon. U have dinner at 6pm, so that's 18 hrs of fasting ( not counting my black coffee). I'm loving myself now!
I haven’t had breakfast since I was in my 20’s, I’m in my 50’s now, feel great, energetic, alert... I only eat when I’m hungry, I rarely eat carbs, make me lethargic - Bottom line, I listen to my body, hope to live up to 100 as my grandma did. Great honest advice 👍
I am a 58Y woman who lost more than 30 lbs using IF (16/8) and low carb diet (no processed food) over 2 years. I reached my ideal weight 7 months ago . I had major surgery (Hysterotomy with hernia repair) on Monday (11/15/21). I am at home today and my speedy recovery amazed all the health care team members in the hospital . I told them that I follow low carb /whole food approach. The Anesthesiologist told me that my labs /health markers looks like a healthy 24 y old woman. What really surprised me that my body fought so bravely with the surgery that last 6 hours. And , how I notice improvement on every aspect of my health every day on 4th day after the surgery. By the way , My favorite Dr. on you tube are Dr. Sten Ekberg , Dr. Robert Lustig and DR. William Li
Dr E, following your advices, Ive been on my best shape, weight and overall feel ever. In just 2 months, I found myself to be losing weight significantly, went from 67Kgs to now 56Kg. Ive been sharing your channel to my friends and family - your lectures are very easy to understand and really makes it easy to adhere to healthy living. 💕
Hi Dr.Ekberg, I'm watching your videos for 3 months now. I lost 12kg and felling great. For me it's a first time that combined keto with IF and have no need to stop or thinking that I'm on some kind diet. It's more likely feeling that I change way of eating. I have now much better stomach, my energy is high and feeling great and healthy. Thank you for your time and help. Have a great weekend!
Roughly from 16 to mid 30 i just had some coffee for breakfast. Then i got married and things changed 😂. But my entire life i always thought breakfast was super important even if i never had any for so many years and yes always had plenty of energy. (Im hyper active). Im 51 now, pretty healthy but its time to pay more attention to my body and mental. Thank you dr Sten. Merci beaucoup
Thanks to your videos sir. My health has improved a great deal. I follow your explanations closely and now understand how the body works. Am now in my fourth month taking breakfast at 4pm, then skip lunch and I take my supper at 8pm. Several of my Type 2 diabetes complications have reversed. Thank you sir and God bless you.
Thank very much for all this information. It had helped me a lot. My husband was diagnosed with diabetis 1 and we started to follow your advice, his glucose dropped from 300 to 130 in one month. Plus I dropped 8 pounds too 🤭🤭🤭
I can't remember the last time I had "breakfast". I rarely ate breakfast growing up and never seem to crave it. I have been unknowingly intermittent fasting almost my entire life 8pm dinner to 12pm - 3pm "brunch" most days. However, I am overweight and prediabetic because of the food I do eat/snack on between 12pm and 8pm. But, I am determined to become healthy and have taken my family with me in so much Dr. Ekberg has to offer. Adding vegetables (non-starch) and protein to be the majority consumed at each meal while keeping it low carb, reducing snacks to healthy options/low carb, and trying to eliminate sugar intake has been the ultimate goals. I don't weigh myself because it's usually a deterrent for me, but judging on my energy, mood, looser fitting clothes and the occasional second look in the mirror at myself...I feel so much better. Thank you for all the great advice Dr.
Watching Dr. Ekbeg's videos actually make me feel good. It makes me feel that life has so much to offer and we don't have to suffer. I don't know what it is, I think it's his energy, it's so positive. Dr. ekberg my question today is for those of us who have had surgeries and had screws or plates put in their bodies ( for me it's ACL surgery that the surgeon used screws). Do these objects cause chronic inflammation? and if they do what can we do about it? Thank you. Edit: following Dr. Ekberg's advice, I have come down to 183lb from 220lb in the past 7 months. I am a drywall taper and I used to have super painful hands from carpal tunnel syndrom, Everytime I pick up the hawk and trowel it was torture. Yesterday I realized that I have not felt that pain in a while.
It is almost a year since I sopped eating breakfast. Every morning I drink almost half a litter of warm water and never missed doing this and I can very obviously see that my belly not only stopped growing but also shrinking. I rarely feel hungry in the morning and never feel tired at all, and even when I feel my stomach rumble (very rarely) I drink a cup of warm water and eat lunch around 11:30 every day. I feel so much better and healthy now than before.
Thank you Doctor, I am watching your videos for over 2 years and I learned a lot and today my diet is better and I feel more energised more than ever. I don't hungry at all in the mornings until 12 or 1 pm and i would spend time in my garden, which is a great exercise too. Energy on keto, I have it. Thank again doctor Ekberg .
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 a lot so many to mention, like intermittent fasting which is the best, what happens when i eat too much, what happens when I consume high carbohydrate etc. I hope Dr Ekberg's videos is helping you too... I lost 30 lbs in 3 months by eating the right foods. Fat, proteins, fiber and low carbs.
Thank you Dolly Satram for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
One thing I am praying for this upcoming festive season is to be consistent & no fall off the wagon ... I binge, there I cant afford to fall😞 .... am almost off the keto flu & I cant mess this
Í ve been watching your videos for about a month now. I am writing you from Spain and I must say that your explanations are outstanding, very clear, very well argued and very interesting. My wife and I are trying to follow your advices as best as we can. Keep it up and congratulations on the channel! 👍
Haven't had breakfast for several months now even before I was more ducated in the health aspect. People are really misinformed, it is definitely not must have meal.
Dear Dr Ekberg, your videos are a game changer. I have diabetes in the family, but am very active, do lots of running, gym work and normal BMI. Imagine my surprise when i was told i was just in the prediabetic range. I am a surgeon and have decent medical knowledge but if only i had known all this information a long time ago. THANK YOU and keep up the good work.
Great content. I have been doing OMD recently and after 1 week, I had lost 2kg (4.4 pounds) and I don't feel hungry during the day. I can remember feeling hungry at about 10am back when I used to have cereal at about 7am. On a different note, I knew a guy who grazes all day as he had claimed that he is diabetic. He has type 2 and it was most likely the consequence of him consuming excessive amount of sugar. E.g. he has about 5 cups of coffee per day and he uses 3 teaspoons of sugar per cup of coffee. I had tried to get him to discuss this with his GP but of course he knows better as it is his own body.
I skipped breakfast for 3 months as part of my 16 hrs fasting. I just the result of my blood test yesterday, my AIC dropped by 7 points. Thank you doctor for sharing your knowledge for free, you’re the best holistic doctor.
I've been following your diet since the beginning of October by kicking sugar/carb consumption . Those were a very hard two weeks but the pay off was incrediblyimpacted with my weight and energy levels. My skin has a glow to it. I'm glad to say after nearly 3months of following your advice Dr, I went from 305 to 265. From 3XL to XL. I've found a new desire for veggies and a new found respect for my body (what's capable of). Happy Holidays and Happy New Year Dr. Sten🎄🎊🎏🎉
I found this channel about a week ago and was intrigued by the video I was recommended. I believe it was about some foods that are bad for you (like farm raised salmon) which was eye opening. I then found a video that recommended intermittent fasting, I believe it may have been a 14 or 16 hr fast. Regardless, I researched intermittent fasting and was surprised at what I found, such as that as you delay eating food insulin levels drop and fat burning increases. This video taught me that breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day, I had been convinced that if I didn't have breakfast that I would be dragging until lunch. This has been a paradigm shift for me and I started doing 14 hr intermittent fasts earlier this week. During the weekend I plan on doing 16 hr fasts since I usually mope around in the morning and aren't necessarily hungry until closer to midday. I am making healthier life choices that will stick with me throughout my life. I recently subscribed to this wonderful channel and will be browsing through the extensive library of videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Dr. Ekberg.
Thank you varethika for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Forced to always eat breakfast as a child & teenager, as soon as I left home breakfast was the first thing I ditched..eating breakfast has always made me feel sluggish & I find eating once a day, as much as I like, usually late in the evening, is what works for me 😎👍
I'd still give breakfast to kids, as they're growing up and can use basically anything they take in, but for sure, as an adult I have stopped eating breakfast for a few months. I definitely feel different in general and less lethargic in the mornings.
Hi Sten! thanks for your advices i have started applying them and let me say it short, i lost 7kg in less then a month, i eat one meal a day and as you said now i feels healthier,
Everytime i am at the grocery store reaching for sweets and immediately your face came to my mind. I never buy then anymore and thank you for holding me accountable ❤️. Would like to see “what i eat in a day” please?
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for all ur videos and explaining the science behind getting healthy and breaking down misconceptions. After watching your channel, I have change my eating habits to eating within 4 hour window, 1-2 meals per day with good fat. I still eat carbs but in limited quantities but I cut out all sugar. So far I have lost 18lbs about half way to my goal. I feel all the benefits you have mentioned as part of the IF+keto diet. And it is fantastic. I would like to build a good diet habit for my children between 11-13 years old. Is IF safe for kids in this age group? Also is keto diet safe? If you could make a video around this topic, I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I've been fasting since 2019, and for the last year I've been OMAD (One Meal a Day). I work a very physical job and don't miss breakfast at all. In fact, I'm glad to eat less because I can afford better foods.
For me it depends on what I am doing and when I have time during the day. When I was a university student, I usually ate 2 meals per day, one before the first lecture/seminar/etc., so between 7 and 9, and then a second meal in the evening. Now when I work in the office, I often eat the first meal at 11-12, then another one at ~8 pm. So that is kind of without breakfast and it does work. I don't feel worse, but also not better. So if it saves money and I do eat less in total, so it should be good. But when I work outside or travel, etc., I prefer to eat something before working or leaving home.
i also find i cant go without breakfast also as i love porridge and always use it to load up with all the all the other nutrients like pumpkin seeds ,nuts etc.. just have it at 11 and call it lunch if your on the go from 7...
Low carb 20 gms < a day for a year..lost 50 pounds, a1c from 6.5 to 5.3..no longer prediabetic , I feel great..oh also fast daily from 7pm to 12 pm the next day..absolutely wonderful for my brain..Im so proud of myself.
I love your channel, Dr. Sten. I have lost 35 pounds, reduced my glucose level from131 to 93 and lowered my A1C from 5.6 to 5.2. Unfortunately, I still have sugar cravings and give into them occasionally. I don’t know if others on low carbs also experience this too. I also do intermittent fasting and do have more energy and focus. Thank you so much for providing all your excellent information.
Meanwhile i never liked eating breakfast because i was never hungry in the morning. Every time i tried eating in the morning, it felt like force feeding. Some people would chastise me when hearing about it. So it looks like me listening to my body was the best idea. Thanks for the video.
Breakfast is actually the most important meal for me. I make some eggs, store it in the fridge or freezer for the next day, then wait until the afternoon or after my workout. That way I can still have breakfast.
@@doroparker1702 Not true. I boiled some eggs and put them in a container and they tasted fine. You can't do this if you're frying the egg. You have to put it in the freezer if you do. There are videos on keto meal preps. You can look them up when you get the chance.
@@afrikasmith1049 I only eat eggs when they are fresh prepared and when I got time to eat it right away. Of course, hard boiled eggs are an egg-seption. I never freeze eggs, just other leftovers or vegetables. Eggs are so easy and quick to prepare, it never occurred to me to freeze or store a scrambled egg or fried egg in the fridge. Maybe I would store some omelets or crepes or pancakes but there is hardly ever leftover. When there is no time for cooking I just eat some slices of bread with butter, cold cuts and cheese.
I stopped eating breakfast 40 years ago. I only found out earlier this year that it was called intermittent fasting. I gave up breakfast because I noticed that on days when I was in a hurry and didn't have time for breakfast I didn't get peckish at about 11am like all my colleagues. I never could find out why this worked untill I discovered the lchf diet which explained it was due to insulin spikes. I switched to lchf still no breakfast and lost 20kg without getting hungry. Feel healthy. Wish I'd found out earlier.
Thank u so much for all ur videos! My husband and I just started watching them. We love them!! You have given us hope,where we didn't feel like there wasn't any. You have given us insight,to help ourselves n bad eating habits! You don't ask us to buy any of ur books or pamphlets! God bless you! Thank you again. Deanna❤💖💋
"You dont have free access to the vending machine" 😁😁😁 Your message could not be more succinct than this. Thank you Doctor. You are the best health professional on YT (Group of Three: Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Berry, Dr. Berg). Thank you so very much.

Why do you always bring fictional characters into health conversations??
I have been practicing this diet for ten months now. I went from 212 lbs to 164. My waist went from 36 to 31, my jacket size from 46 to 42 reg. My glucose from 123 average to 85. I have never felt better! Thank you so much for the great coaching! You saved me! Update- it has now been 14 months and all is well. I decided to add one 48 hour fast once/ month as part of my overall routine. The thing I am noticing now more than ever is my energy level continues to increase. Along with that ambition to get more done around the house.
That sounds awesome! 👍 😉
Well done mate. Thats some impressive stats. Sounds like you need a new credit card though! None of your clothes fit!!! (In a good way). Not sure I have the sizes right but.... 36 to 31? At my best I was only a 32 and THAT was thin... careful mate - don't get too thin. And I have NO IDEA how to register glucose...
I don’t need weight loss I actually need to gain weight so is this not optimal
God Bless!
Do you do workout too?
I love my healthy breakfast (at least 15 hours after my last meal). I don’t care if everyone else call it lunch. It’s still breakfast for me.
That's what I do also.. Saves you money too which is a plus :)
@@Robocrap breakfast..break fast
The first meal of the day, after sleep, is breaking the 'fast' of the night. Whatever time of day, your first meal, is your break,-fast.
That's why I stopped calling it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I called it 1st meal, 2nd meal, and 3rd meal. I never like eating early in the morning. I have my first meal around noon.
Traveling in Germany the breakfast bars are huge and the older Germans eat hearty breakfasts with cold cuts, rolls, fruit… fueling up for the day. Could pass for an American lunch. Is granolas and thick yogurts too. They are not a fat population. Drop down to Italy, breakfast bar food quality severely drops with junky cereals and it looks more like an American am cheap food lineup.
Exactly break-fast
I stumbled onto this channel three months ago. Dr Sten has changed my lifestyle for good. I’ve lost over thirty pounds with twenty to go. After the sugar withdrawals it became easier for me. My new motto is if it’s sweet don’t eat. I eat very small amounts of carbs. I try very hard to eat foods that maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’m 75yrs old . I’ve been overweight for the last thirty years. Nothing worked to get the weight off. I would just give up. A final resolve set in when I found this channel. By Golly ! It’s working!. I won’t quit because I understand how my body works now. It has come late in life for me but I feel better than ever. Most likely adding years to my life.
Dr Sten, your the man ! I can’t thank you enough. 👍👍👍👍👍
So glad you've found something you can sustain with such great results!
Likewise. I feel ten years younger and inflammation in my body is gone or greatly reduced. I am now looking forward to the future!
better late than ever..has prob extended your lifespan by a few years more
If it's sweet, don't eat. Great motto. That's already stuck in my head.
Awesome, likewise… So, happy for You. I am not overweight, but I am petite. So, I can’t be more than 100 or 105 at the most 😊
And found Dr. Stern’s program, been practicing it for almost a month. I ate very small carb and avoiding sugar, like You said , if it’s sweet don’t eat it 😊 Feel healthy and energetic, I do the exercise 30 minutes/day. Thank You Dr, You are Awesome 👍👍🙏
As Dr. Fung said breakfast may be the most important meal of the day but it doesn't have to be at 7 in the morning! Break your fast at 2pm or later.
That's what I do it keeps my Sugar low I eat between 3 - 6
Good point! 👍🏼
I'm working on it
Do only breakfast and skip the other meals.
@@Nachtgespenst474 Good point! My wife does it that way. I eat my OMAD at 7 or 8pm. Both ways work wonders. :)
I m diabetic and 5 days ago my doc told me that I have hypertension ( bp168), I am 95kgs and overweight by 24 kilos. I started to watch your videos 5 days ago (subscribed) and I have learnt so much from your videos. I have started IF and cut off sugar. It’s my 4th day on 2MAD/18:6. I am already feeling so much better.. I no longer feel hunger pangs, no tingling feelings in my legs or restlessness at night.I ll share my progress as I continue my weight loss journey with you all every Friday! Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg.
Beautiful 🙂 would like to know your progress..... I was a brink of getting BP and am changing my diet now... let's take this journey, there are many good testimonies here, am sure we will conquer too.... all the best with your journey 🌱
Please keep us updated with your journey!
Take care and all the best to you.
so, how has the week been?
Hi all, I have now started OMAD with two cups of lemon, ginger and cumin concoction in the morning and before bed. Trust me, you will not get hungry. I am someone who ate full plates of rice with every meal for all three meals. I never walked half mile in my life and now I can walk 2 miles easily without huffing and puffing( I am a chain smoker). Rice is staple food for us and I can’t give it up completely, I still eat a full plate of rice ( and more sometimes) during my meal time. I checked my weight on 27th nov and I was 86 kgs. It must be water weight to some extend but I have also stopped having anything with added sugar including coke ( which was my go to drink). Oh my blood pressure has returned to normal 123/79 from a high of 168/100 last week. My glucose had decreased from 348 to 159 even with rice as my main meal. So happy with my progress. Next: I will try to reduce my intake of rice but it will take a while to completely cut it off and seriously if my progress is steady, I don’t think I will cut it off completely 😝
Intermittent fasting has been amazing for me. I have more energy, clear / sharp mind & I've lost 6lbs in 3 weeks (bonus). I also cut sugar out of my diet and reduced my carbs to less than a third of what I had been consuming. Great facts Dr. Ekberg. Explained clearly, thank you.
I've lost 25 to 30 lb I'm in no rush incorporating the fasting diet 16,-21 hours a day. I do it a minimum of 4 days 5 days. In my mind is alert my energy is 80%.
Yea i do it every monday it works
Been doing this for over 4 years. Best body composition of my life, lost essentially all of my midsection fat, and helped my cholesterol and blood pressure among other things
Breakfast is simply the meaning of the word, the meal that break your fast, it indeed is the most important meal of the day, but you don’t need to have it right when you wake up. So I always have my “breakfast” at 6pm, no food during my working period have give me more focus and energy, belly fat melt away and gained 6 pack by literally doing nothing, simple and health.
Exactly! Congratulations and keep it up.
Just one meal a day?
id feel hard done by, I work a 12.5hr shift I do those 3 days or nights a week and I would honestly feel like crying. I'd go through a lot of tissues LOL. I need to study this idea better.
@@D47JoyUnited Right, do some more research and come up with your own method. I did some test before come up with my final decision on OMAD like measuring my urinate ketone level at the same time during each day, performance on work out after a 23 hrs fast, just by doing these test through 45 days dropped 15lb fat alone cause my lean muscle mass increased. Hope this help:)
Agreed !!! I am the same too .
I started practicing this a year ago, and the benefits are incredible, I can’t go back, when I try to eat breakfast, I lose all energy. I’m eating one meal a day, and feel younger at 48 than when I was on my 30. Thanks for your videos.
I'm obese and near 50 and have been intermittent fasting (16/8) for about 3 months, with very little variance/slip-ups. Despite not making many other dietary changes, I have had more energy, less pain, sleep better, and feel more "alive" than I have in years. I have gotten SO many more things done than I would have otherwise! Looking forward to the next steps on my path to a healthier life! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
That’s awesome! I’ve been doing IF 16/8 for 6 months now and have only lost about 10 pounds. I’m going to start counting and lowering my carbs and hopefully that will help. 😬
Well done! Maybe try 18/6 or even 20/4 for autophagy benefits.
You are a lifesaver! You changed my life completely! Love You, Sten
Pleasure to see there are some pakistanis who watch their content
I can confirm that this works! I´m 70 and have been practising this more and more consequent for years. Never felt better! Still working in periods. No medicines. No diabetes (runs in the family) or other health issues. Wake up alert after only 5-6 hours sleep. Love healthy cooking - once a day! Freedom!!
Seeing you here is divine and it has transformed my life. I can’t believe it!! I started intermittent fasting on the 16th October by walking 2 hours everyday, my sugar level is now 85 from 220. No drugs Weight 105 to 90kg. I have my balance now and used my 57 staircase steps 10 times up and down today. and am never out energy. May God bless you abundantly. By His grace I shall hit my weight loss target by February 2022. Am 56yrs.
How have you progress as we are in feb 2022?

I stopped eating breakfast about 5 month ago, my first meal is around 1-2 PM and I usually wake up at 7-8AM. I feel great
I liked your comment just cause of your pfp and channel name.
I do have coffee with cream or coconut milk tho. Gotta have a treat just for me.
Chips n cakes have no attraction. My cafe is my treat!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah was thinking of that cup of morning coffee too. So how is it working out?
@@cynthiasammy3668 it’s great. Often I have cream.
Rest of day is 1 decaf mug - maybe.
Does it means no coffee? Or tea?
Only water?
Following your circadian rhythm and skipping dinner instead of breakfast also has many great benefits. Your fat burning and metabolizing hormones are higher during the day, and in the evening as we approach darkness hormones such as melatonin which ramp down our bodily functions and prepare us for sleep start to become more dominant in the body. The protocol that I recommend is, work out in the morning fasted, eat breakfast as your post workout meal, do not eat after dark. I lost 70 lbs in one year doing this.
People have been brainwashed that we need 3 meals a day and BRKFT is so important. I still hear it from ppl I know ....I eat 1 meal a day,feel great!
For me basically I have a 4 hour eating window before the start of my shift. If I start at 6pm I eat at 2pm and finish my bulletproof coffee before the start of my shift. On days where I don't have work or don't play hockey/sport or don't workout I just don't eat (fast) which for me tends to be Saturday
With keto and intermiting fasting I lost 11kg for 3 months, gave up medicine for high blood pressure, solve bloating, heart burning...in the last time I often have breakfast at 8 to 9 o clock in the morning, but i havent had meal till 4 o clock the day before, 16hours at least, average time for me would be 18hours of fasting. Anyway, thank you Dr Sten for your advices a lot!!!
Having started keto and IF since March this year, I can vouch that every word Dr Sten has said in this video is a 100% true, never felt better,never felt hungry. Lost weight and feel great
I had some limited success on Keto but when I found Dr. Ekberg's video on intermittent fasting I combined the fasting with Keto and the weight just began falling off. I lost 41 pounds in three months Dr. Ekberg is a gift from God..
If we did this and stopped eating processed foods we would be like awesome 💪👍
Thank You Ivo Biancucci. Just imagine. 😄
Your videos are lifesavers. Been following your advice for the last two years or so. Dropped over 30kg of bodyweight and most of the time I only eat one meal a day. As someone who used to get the shakes and feel terrible if I didn't eat for around 3 - 4 hours, I thought intermittent fasting would be impossible. But by doing it gradually as you suggest I can now regularly go 24 hrs or more without eating. Less carbs = less cravings. Also I do manual work for a living and don't suffer from lack of energy. Also running a 5k after not eating for day would have been impossible before. Now I don't think anything of it. Everything you say is true. I can vouch for that first hand. Thank you again.
..."But by doing it gradually as you suggest I can now regularly go 24 hrs or more without eating. Less carbs = less cravings...* so true buddy
At last! My husband brows beats me about skipping or delaying breakfast. I tend to head for a warm tea or two, when I arise. We get up early and I'm not tempted to eat until 10:00. If I miss that window, I wait for lunch. Thank you for clarifying what I have long suspected. I'm determined to lose weight and improve my general health over winter.
Skipping helped cause the weight gain
Every time you eat, insulin spikes. Low carb & intermittent fasting helped me lose 25 lbs since March. Very easy. Keep watching these videos.
10am is when I break my fast as well. Then a second and last meal at 4pm.
Now if you really want to lose weight, skip the lunch and try one meal a day in a 2 to 4 hour window. The results might amaze you.
No it doesn't.
No breakfast for 3 months now and I feel great! And when I eat, there is no more refined sugar, ultra porcess carbs, and seed oils! Thanks Dr. Ekberg for educating people!
I have never had problems with weight and regardless of what I eat I never put on weight. I have been told for years I am just lucky but watching your videos makes me aware that my own intuition was always correct.
I never eat until around lunch time, cheese cravings before bed & I listen to the impulses my body sends. If I fancy cheese I eat it. If I'm craving spinach? I eat it. Cinnamon? I eat it.
We should stop worrying about what the research says and listen to the body It knows exactly what it needs and which foods are available that contain it. 💚 thank you so much for your wisdom & expertise 🙏
I could not agree more
"Weight", by itself, isn't a measure of health. Heavier is healthier, controlling for waist circumference. Check your score on the ABSI calculator online.

I started out slowly with intermittent fasting three months ago with choosing better and healthier foods and yes I stop drinking sugary drinks cut down on snacks and workout at least five days a week now I've lost 21lbs with still more to go but I don't crave foods and I have to make myself eat it's absolutely amazing how our bodies responds to better health once we truly give ourselves a chance to see and feel the difference, thank you for helping me understand how the body works through the foods we eat or not eat 😀
I'm on day 22 of no sugar, low carb and intermittent fasting. Feeling good and not hungry. Some days I fast 20 hrs.
It's been more than one month that I just take water, lemon and cider vinagre for breakfast and I can go running for 20km or biking for 100km without any food. I feel super energized and at 55 I can say that I never felt so great. I started a low carb diet 2 months ago and skipping breakfast was so natural that I didn't even felt pain. Thanks for all your videos and recommendations, they really changed the way I look to food and health!
Do you bike through a forest? How i would love that…but in this car-dependent, densely overpopulated island of Malta, forest % is only 0.95%.
I was t2d give months ago. My A1c is now 5.3 mainly thanks to you for educating me on nutrition and physiology. You sir are the absolute best source people can have helping them improve their health. Please keep up the exceptional work you do. Nobody, but nobody explains things as well as you on this topic.
Thank you Alan Clark. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I freed myself from all the myths created by companies and well meaning health professionals and its life changing. Sometimes when i'm doing an activity which requires a little bit of walking and concentration I am at the 24 hour fasting point and I'm fully pumped up with energy. Way more than the people worrying about where we are going to eat. I broke the habit of always doing an activity and eating before and after. GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Yes people say "don't miss your breakfast". I never ever felt hungry when first getting up. I used to make myself eat before I went to work because I thought I might faint from lack of food mid morning. Then I discovered fasting and low carb and read up on the science . Now I generally don't eat until lunchtime, or even later if I'm not hungry. I have also lost weight. 😃
I found your channel about 2 months ago and the first thing I did was cut out all sugar and breakfast. I then incorporate my meals with foods that you recommended for snacks and main meals and WOW, what a change. I’m now burning fat and building muscle fast.I had already been exercising regularly but with these changes my six pack soon showed itself. This is me for life now. Thank you. You’re channel is a life changer.
For about 6 months I have been not eating until 5 to 6 PM and then another meal around 10 to 11 PM.
I have certainly got healthier doing this and all the markers Dr Sten mentioned had improved, but my BP was still higher than I wanted.
About 2 months ago I introduced kale and beetroot into my daily main meal and everything else is the same.
Blood pressure now down from 140/95 to 115/75 in just 2 months. Stoked!!!!
Great blood work results. Congrats.
Not healthy to eat so close to bed time! To each it's own!
It is said one should not eat just before bed. Eating so late might help explain your earlier numbers. You could also try stopping around 7PM but still, great work!
Explain. Why is timing so important?
Our stomach needs time for digestion, check Dr Eric's video on the impact of eating before bed
because of your channel & videos, i have stop eating breakfast and supper for nearly 9 mths, fast 12 to 16 hrs per day ... and i feel great, my body pain going away one by one without any medication ... no plan to stop anytime soon ... maybe never
I haven't eaten breakfast in years, even before all the benefits of listening to Doc. Ekberg
When I started working out, my two main mistakes were lack of sleep and not eating enough (not being in a caloric surplus). I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my first diet plan created (I think it was from Dietarize iirc). I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 3000 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.
What does this have to do with not eating breakfast?
3000 c. makes you fat unless you are Olympic champion
Even tho this is clearly an ad. I never understood, the logic of eating more to LOSE weight 🤔 Cause there's none. Like eat different. Maybe less frequent. Replace some foodstuffs for healthier options. Avoid some maybe that u have an intolerance for. But eating more of what u are already eating, to LOSE weight, sounds cray cray lol. Am happy Dr Fung (and Dr Ekberg & Dr Berg too actually) makes that clear! Argue with yourselves on this😁✌🏿
Mark, are you one of these people who are much too thin and can't put weight on?
Always look forward to Friday’s. Thank you Dr. E for the outstanding lessons! I’ve lost 30 lbs and friends and family want to know how I did it. I share you with them.

@@drekberg I sure will keep it up. Thank you for the encouragement and all the information. I love learning new things about how the body works.

Congratulations, i also have lost some of post pregnancy weight after following dr. Ekberg videos
i'm 52 and I stopped eating breakfast about 6 months ago. I have seen only positive results from this. I always have energy in the morning and have been able to keep my weight at a healthy and consistent level.
Thank you for the life-changing advice!
I now eat less, enjoy/appreciate food more, feel more energy, spend less money on food... My weight went down a bit (from 84 to 79 kg) I feel confy in my body. I'm also doing some small pushup workouts, at least 20-30 a day. I feel my cholesterol went down. Ill get a proof of it when ill go to see a doctor for a regular health check. Im basically hungry for 14-16hrs a day for more than 2 months and it feels great.
I havent been eating breakfast since i was 15, i'm now 33. I used to be a bit chubby, but from 20, ive been at 70KG all my life @ 186cm
I went through 2 years of gym going which carved out my muscles, even a six pack. I then stopped going 3 years ago, but still have my muscle definition.
I always have lots of energy, i always jump and run around.
Usually I eat a meal around/after lunchtime and a slightly bigger meal after the usual dinner time. I also snack right before going to bed.
All my life i have been going against the recommendations, as my body felt better doing it my way.
Your videos slowly help me discover why my body is the way it is. Thank you, i feel less weird!
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. I been doing intermittent fasting for two months now. I thought that my weight plateau is 75kg but surprisingly now I am around 60-61 kg. My waist reduce from 35 to 28. I feel better and never sick since I started this journey. Hopefully this sustain for years to come. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Please provide your IF food habits and timings of eating ?
@@sumana101 .. 1/2 months 2 meals per day.. after that will be one meal per day until now. No eating later than 3:00pm for me. 1st step is cutting on sugar granules.. by that I already reached what I thought to be my plateau weight 68kg.. but I am wrong.. 2nd steps is hard but worth it.. cutting on carbs like rice, noodles and breads… that how the weight lowered than 68kg.. now weighing 60-62kg.. my advice is find the meals that suit your needs.. good luck 🤞
@@GT-sl9ur thanks for the reply...when it was two meals , what were your timings and how much was your intake of water quantity ... were you on complete veggies and fruits or even you had rice and all ? Second one you came to one meal, apart from 3 pm meals , were you on any supplements ?

Juice will be avocado blend with unsweetened almond milk..
Dr.Ekberg, I've been watching your videos for roughly 2 years and I just want to thank you for the amazing free advice that has helped me achieve the level of health that I couldn't before. As an avid cyclist living in Canada, with arthritis who thought I was eating healthy, (trainer's advice) cut out sugars and most carbs, it wasn't too difficult to shed the weight. But the last few years was getting more difficult as I reached 50. Now with intermittent fasting and healthy diet of your knowledge you share re all foods I've reached a weight I haven't since my early 20's and had great cycling results this past year and have managed to keep my arthritis inflammation to a minimum. THANK YOU for all your vids and work you have put into them.
I’m glad I found your channel
I’ve been doing IF 16:8 for a month now and it’s feels so good
Being a filipino I believed all those myths for 33 years 😭
Thank you so much Dr. Sten☺️
Hello, thanks for comment kindly let me know u fast one month day and night? Or just day time? Kindly respond
Fasting for a month? No food?
@@brendahunter9134 my bad
I did 16:8 intermittent fasting
You're welcome Ivy Yu. My pleasure. Thanks for watching 😄
I do the 18/6 diet for 2 weeks now. Went from 256 pounds to 245… Basically I stop eating around 7PM don’t eat until 1PM the other day. So no breakfast. And I feel better. More energy. Kinda weird. But works.
I’ve been following you for a while, love your teachings Dr E! Although I have a good figure, I have always battled with belly fat and intermittent fasting is slowly making a difference in this department. Thank you, keep up the good work!
Dr. Ekberg, the information you share with the world is priceless and indispensable. I always worried my toddler didn't like a large breakfast, or sometimes refused to eat breakfast until a bit later in the day. I definitely feel better after this video! P.s. not saying a toddler needs to lose weight or that it's good for her to skip meals, just that I'm less worried!
For me breakfast is at 10am especially after a workout. It is important for me in order to get my working day started . So breakfast is whatever time that suits your lifestyle. In my opinion.
Yeah for you is probably fundamental, but I would consider it a launch, not a breakfast
Everything that Dr. Sten Ekberg says here is correct. Intermittent fasting helped me move from diabetic to pre-diabetic and virtually not diabetic according to my doctor. I lost weight over 28lbs and my blood pressure also reduced. Thanks and also to you and Dr Jason Fung for improving my health. My sister followed and has had similar results. My ex partner followed and had similar results. We are all very happy with your work and advice.
As always Sten, fantastic content. I stopped eating breakfast over a month ago and I don't miss it at all. Also most days in the week I only have 1 meal (Keto-based) over a period of 1-2 hours and I feel great. Lost weight, more energy, and I am much happier.
According to a person whose not from the medical field...
I feel ....Breakfast is definitely time based and not a must...
The best time is to eat is only when one is hungry...this excludes those on certain meds.
Not to forget to stay hydrated
Great video Doctor and thank you for all your efforts.👍
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, your videos are great an inspiring. I have lost 29lbs since i first started watching your videos about 5 weeks ago! I have another 30 to go, but i have made great progress so far and feel really great! Thanks again for all you do!
Dr. Ekberg and others on the internet who make videos about Keto and low-carbohydrate diets have been a God send for me. But, with due respect to the others, Dr. Ekberg's videos have been the easiest for me to watch and have been the most informative to me.
Thank you Dr sten . I followed you since the end of July . I started intermittent fasting and keto since August 1st i lost 51 pounds and I feel awesome.
I've been skipping breakfast for 18 months now. Lost 44 lbs with keto and then moved to low carb diet which is more sustainable for me. I have a tall glas of black coffee in the morning that keeps my hunger at bay until noon. U have dinner at 6pm, so that's 18 hrs of fasting ( not counting my black coffee). I'm loving myself now!
I haven’t had breakfast since I was in my 20’s, I’m in my 50’s now, feel great, energetic, alert... I only eat when I’m hungry, I rarely eat carbs, make me lethargic - Bottom line, I listen to my body, hope to live up to 100 as my grandma did.
Great honest advice 👍
I am a 58Y woman who lost more than 30 lbs using IF (16/8) and low carb diet (no processed food) over 2 years. I reached my ideal weight 7 months ago . I had major surgery (Hysterotomy with hernia repair) on Monday (11/15/21). I am at home today and my speedy recovery amazed all the health care team members in the hospital . I told them that I follow low carb /whole food approach. The Anesthesiologist told me that my labs /health markers looks like a healthy 24 y old woman. What really surprised me that my body fought so bravely with the surgery that last 6 hours. And , how I notice improvement on every aspect of my health every day on 4th day after the surgery. By the way , My favorite Dr. on you tube are Dr. Sten Ekberg , Dr. Robert Lustig and DR. William Li
Dr E, following your advices, Ive been on my best shape, weight and overall feel ever.
In just 2 months, I found myself to be losing weight significantly, went from 67Kgs to now 56Kg.
Ive been sharing your channel to my friends and family - your lectures are very easy to understand and really makes it easy to adhere to healthy living. 💕
I am hoping to do the same! I'm at 67kg atm. Aim is to hit an ideal weight of 55kg. Slowly and steadily!
Hi Dr.Ekberg,
I'm watching your videos for 3 months now. I lost 12kg and felling great. For me it's a first time that combined keto with IF and have no need to stop or thinking that I'm on some kind diet. It's more likely feeling that I change way of eating. I have now much better stomach, my energy is high and feeling great and healthy. Thank you for your time and help. Have a great weekend!
When he said you have HALF A MILLION CALORIES STORED MY MIND BLEW thinking about that. At 2000 calories burned a day that would be 250 days worth 0.0
Thats true, but you shouldn’t really count the calories of organ, bone and skin cells.
Roughly from 16 to mid 30 i just had some coffee for breakfast. Then i got married and things changed 😂. But my entire life i always thought breakfast was super important even if i never had any for so many years and yes always had plenty of energy. (Im hyper active). Im 51 now, pretty healthy but its time to pay more attention to my body and mental. Thank you dr Sten. Merci beaucoup
Thanks to your videos sir. My health has improved a great deal.
I follow your explanations closely and now understand how the body works.
Am now in my fourth month taking breakfast at 4pm, then skip lunch and I take my supper at 8pm.
Several of my Type 2 diabetes complications have reversed.
Thank you sir and God bless you.
Haven't eaten breakfast in 8 months. 16 hr fast- 8 hr 2 meal period. Work out daily in fasted state. Its working well for me.
Thank very much for all this information. It had helped me a lot. My husband was diagnosed with diabetis 1 and we started to follow your advice, his glucose dropped from 300 to 130 in one month. Plus I dropped 8 pounds too 🤭🤭🤭
I can't remember the last time I had "breakfast". I rarely ate breakfast growing up and never seem to crave it. I have been unknowingly intermittent fasting almost my entire life 8pm dinner to 12pm - 3pm "brunch" most days. However, I am overweight and prediabetic because of the food I do eat/snack on between 12pm and 8pm. But, I am determined to become healthy and have taken my family with me in so much Dr. Ekberg has to offer. Adding vegetables (non-starch) and protein to be the majority consumed at each meal while keeping it low carb, reducing snacks to healthy options/low carb, and trying to eliminate sugar intake has been the ultimate goals. I don't weigh myself because it's usually a deterrent for me, but judging on my energy, mood, looser fitting clothes and the occasional second look in the mirror at myself...I feel so much better. Thank you for all the great advice Dr.
This is great!I am so glad to hear that I am not a slave to a food schedule 🌹💃
Thank You Lucy Maynard. It is very liberating 😄
@@drekberg Absolutely Dr Sten Ekberg!🤭😂
I have discovered this channel about three weeks ago and a miracle happened: I lost 11 lbs (and can't even tell where exactly).
Watching Dr. Ekbeg's videos actually make me feel good. It makes me feel that life has so much to offer and we don't have to suffer. I don't know what it is, I think it's his energy, it's so positive. Dr. ekberg my question today is for those of us who have had surgeries and had screws or plates put in their bodies ( for me it's ACL surgery that the surgeon used screws). Do these objects cause chronic inflammation? and if they do what can we do about it?
Thank you.
Edit: following Dr. Ekberg's advice, I have come down to 183lb from 220lb in the past 7 months. I am a drywall taper and I used to have super painful hands from carpal tunnel syndrom, Everytime I pick up the hawk and trowel it was torture. Yesterday I realized that I have not felt that pain in a while.
If you go on eating this way you will just forget that you ever had pain anywhere.
It is almost a year since I sopped eating breakfast. Every morning I drink almost half a litter of warm water and never missed doing this and I can very obviously see that my belly not only stopped growing but also shrinking. I rarely feel hungry in the morning and never feel tired at all, and even when I feel my stomach rumble (very rarely) I drink a cup of warm water and eat lunch around 11:30 every day. I feel so much better and healthy now than before.
Thank you Doctor, I am watching your videos for over 2 years and I learned a lot and today my diet is better and I feel more energised more than ever. I don't hungry at all in the mornings until 12 or 1 pm and i would spend time in my garden, which is a great exercise too. Energy on keto, I have it. Thank again doctor Ekberg .
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 a lot so many to mention, like intermittent fasting which is the best, what happens when i eat too much, what happens when I consume high carbohydrate etc. I hope Dr Ekberg's videos is helping you too... I lost 30 lbs in 3 months by eating the right foods. Fat, proteins, fiber and low carbs.
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 thanks very much, God's richest blessings to you and your family too dear.
Thank you Dolly Satram for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
One thing I am praying for this upcoming festive season is to be consistent & no fall off the wagon ... I binge, there I cant afford to fall😞 .... am almost off the keto flu & I cant mess this
Í ve been watching your videos for about a month now. I am writing you from Spain and I must say that your explanations are outstanding, very clear, very well argued and very interesting. My wife and I are trying to follow your advices as best as we can. Keep it up and congratulations on the channel! 👍
Haven't had breakfast for several months now even before I was more ducated in the health aspect. People are really misinformed, it is definitely not must have meal.
“I ate a carrot once” I love that point he made there!!!
Dear Dr Ekberg, your videos are a game changer. I have diabetes in the family, but am very active, do lots of running, gym work and normal BMI. Imagine my surprise when i was told i was just in the prediabetic range. I am a surgeon and have decent medical knowledge but if only i had known all this information a long time ago. THANK YOU and keep up the good work.
Great content. I have been doing OMD recently and after 1 week, I had lost 2kg (4.4 pounds) and I don't feel hungry during the day. I can remember feeling hungry at about 10am back when I used to have cereal at about 7am.
On a different note, I knew a guy who grazes all day as he had claimed that he is diabetic. He has type 2 and it was most likely the consequence of him consuming excessive amount of sugar. E.g. he has about 5 cups of coffee per day and he uses 3 teaspoons of sugar per cup of coffee. I had tried to get him to discuss this with his GP but of course he knows better as it is his own body.
I skipped breakfast for 3 months as part of my 16 hrs fasting. I just the result of my blood test yesterday, my AIC dropped by 7 points. Thank you doctor for sharing your knowledge for free, you’re the best holistic doctor.
I've been following your diet since the beginning of October by kicking sugar/carb consumption . Those were a very hard two weeks but the pay off was incrediblyimpacted with my weight and energy levels. My skin has a glow to it. I'm glad to say after nearly 3months of following your advice Dr, I went from 305 to 265. From 3XL to XL. I've found a new desire for veggies and a new found respect for my body (what's capable of). Happy Holidays and Happy New Year Dr. Sten🎄🎊🎏🎉
I found this channel about a week ago and was intrigued by the video I was recommended. I believe it was about some foods that are bad for you (like farm raised salmon) which was eye opening. I then found a video that recommended intermittent fasting, I believe it may have been a 14 or 16 hr fast. Regardless, I researched intermittent fasting and was surprised at what I found, such as that as you delay eating food insulin levels drop and fat burning increases. This video taught me that breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day, I had been convinced that if I didn't have breakfast that I would be dragging until lunch. This has been a paradigm shift for me and I started doing 14 hr intermittent fasts earlier this week. During the weekend I plan on doing 16 hr fasts since I usually mope around in the morning and aren't necessarily hungry until closer to midday. I am making healthier life choices that will stick with me throughout my life. I recently subscribed to this wonderful channel and will be browsing through the extensive library of videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Dr. Ekberg.
Been skipping break fast for almost a year now.. it feels good let me tell you plus I've lost all those extra pounds without even trying 😉
Thank you varethika for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg thanks for the reply sir, sending you and your viewers all my kind regards from Greece 🇬🇷🕊️, 'we are what we eat' as we like to say here 🌄
Forced to always eat breakfast as a child & teenager, as soon as I left home breakfast was the first thing I ditched..eating breakfast has always made me feel sluggish & I find eating once a day, as much as I like, usually late in the evening, is what works for me 😎👍
I'd still give breakfast to kids, as they're growing up and can use basically anything they take in, but for sure, as an adult I have stopped eating breakfast for a few months. I definitely feel different in general and less lethargic in the mornings.
I've gotten it down to one meal a day, if you do the same it means you fast for 24 hours in between meals.
OMAD, every meal is breakfast.
Skipping breakfast for last 90 days and also went on low carb food for last 60 days. This helped me a lot with urine and bowl motion.
Hi Sten! thanks for your advices i have started applying them and let me say it short, i lost 7kg in less then a month, i eat one meal a day and as you said now i feels healthier,
Thank You Burgai Atal. Congratulations. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Everytime i am at the grocery store reaching for sweets and immediately your face came to my mind. I never buy then anymore and thank you for holding me accountable ❤️. Would like to see “what i eat in a day” please?
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for all ur videos and explaining the science behind getting healthy and breaking down misconceptions.
After watching your channel, I have change my eating habits to eating within 4 hour window, 1-2 meals per day with good fat. I still eat carbs but in limited quantities but I cut out all sugar. So far I have lost 18lbs about half way to my goal.
I feel all the benefits you have mentioned as part of the IF+keto diet. And it is fantastic.
I would like to build a good diet habit for my children between 11-13 years old. Is IF safe for kids in this age group? Also is keto diet safe?
If you could make a video around this topic, I would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I've been fasting since 2019, and for the last year I've been OMAD (One Meal a Day). I work a very physical job and don't miss breakfast at all. In fact, I'm glad to eat less because I can afford better foods.
For me it depends on what I am doing and when I have time during the day. When I was a university student, I usually ate 2 meals per day, one before the first lecture/seminar/etc., so between 7 and 9, and then a second meal in the evening.
Now when I work in the office, I often eat the first meal at 11-12, then another one at ~8 pm. So that is kind of without breakfast and it does work. I don't feel worse, but also not better. So if it saves money and I do eat less in total, so it should be good.
But when I work outside or travel, etc., I prefer to eat something before working or leaving home.
i also find i cant go without breakfast also as i love porridge and always use it to load up with all the all the other nutrients like pumpkin seeds ,nuts etc.. just have it at 11 and call it lunch if your on the go from 7...
Low carb 20 gms < a day for a year..lost 50 pounds, a1c from 6.5 to 5.3..no longer prediabetic , I feel great..oh also fast daily from 7pm to 12 pm the next day..absolutely wonderful for my brain..Im so proud of myself.
This fasting stuff really helped me become stronger, think better and sleep deeper, thank you doc.
I stopped eating breakfast 3 years ago I saw results 2 months in and I never ate breakfast again extremely powerful , tons of benefits
I love your channel, Dr. Sten. I have lost 35 pounds, reduced my glucose level from131 to 93 and lowered my A1C from 5.6 to 5.2. Unfortunately, I still have sugar cravings and give into them occasionally. I don’t know if others on low carbs also experience this too. I also do intermittent fasting and do have more energy and focus. Thank you so much for providing all your excellent information.
Yes I'm like you, sometimes I get real cravings for something sweet👍
Meanwhile i never liked eating breakfast because i was never hungry in the morning. Every time i tried eating in the morning, it felt like force feeding. Some people would chastise me when hearing about it. So it looks like me listening to my body was the best idea. Thanks for the video.
Breakfast is actually the most important meal for me. I make some eggs, store it in the fridge or freezer for the next day, then wait until the afternoon or after my workout. That way I can still have breakfast.
Just don't eat breakfast at the crack of dawn.
Why do you store a prepared egg in your fridge? It is only good and tasty when you eat it right away.
@@doroparker1702 Not true. I boiled some eggs and put them in a container and they tasted fine. You can't do this if you're frying the egg. You have to put it in the freezer if you do. There are videos on keto meal preps. You can look them up when you get the chance.
@@afrikasmith1049 I only eat eggs when they are fresh prepared and when I got time to eat it right away.
Of course, hard boiled eggs are an egg-seption.
I never freeze eggs, just other leftovers or vegetables. Eggs are so easy and quick to prepare, it never occurred to me to freeze or store a scrambled egg or fried egg in the fridge. Maybe I would store some omelets or crepes or pancakes but there is hardly ever leftover.
When there is no time for cooking I just eat some slices of bread with butter, cold cuts and cheese.
I stopped eating breakfast 40 years ago. I only found out earlier this year that it was called intermittent fasting.
I gave up breakfast because I noticed that on days when I was in a hurry and didn't have time for breakfast I didn't get peckish at about 11am like all my colleagues.
I never could find out why this worked untill I discovered the lchf diet which explained it was due to insulin spikes.
I switched to lchf still no breakfast and lost 20kg without getting hungry. Feel healthy. Wish I'd found out earlier.
let's skip all breakfast health champions!
I am there champion
Done for years 😉😊
Thank You ST S 😄
Thank u so much for all ur videos! My husband and I just started watching them. We love them!! You have given us hope,where we didn't feel like there wasn't any. You have given us insight,to help ourselves n bad eating habits! You don't ask us to buy any of ur books or pamphlets! God bless you! Thank you again. Deanna❤💖💋
"You dont have free access to the vending machine" 😁😁😁 Your message could not be more succinct than this. Thank you Doctor. You are the best health professional on YT (Group of Three: Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Berry, Dr. Berg). Thank you so very much.
