So you are saying every tho I did a 20 hour I need to go longer 24 30 48 I lost but hit a Plato. For how long. Also keto and intermittent do I go. Each time I hit a Plato. What then?
I have lost 100lbs / 45kg in 12 months by watching, listening and understanding Dr Ekberg’s advice on eating clean and exercising. Thank you, you have changed and saved my life. UPDATE: October 2022. I have now lost 110lbs / 50kg in 16 months and my weight has stayed the same for the last few months, i have a healthy BMI, healthy body fat and visceral fat measurements and exercising daily, along with healthy eating. I am not trying to lose any more weight and my body has found this balance of energy that is not losing or gaining any weight, I am happier and younger than ever. Thank you Dr Ekberg!
I am now 65yrs old and have been wearing a 32" waist for the last 3 year's...have not been in a 32" waist since 1974 in basic training! Listen to this man!!! Thanks Doc!!!
Dr. Ekberg. I find it amazing how perfect your English is. I mean, a guy from Sweden with little to no accent is truly amazing. Nothing wrong with Accents because my mother is from Greece. I just really admire your dedication to helping people, the way you encourage people, and the research you provide us with! Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Yes i lost 10 kilos by fasting and exercise but gained it all back and more .. i lost hope and reverted back to eating normally...but now I will reduce carbs, increase protein and fibres.. will try out again and see the results.. from tomorrow onwards see you after a few months
I typically eat about 6 to 7 in the evening..mostly...I also do longer fasts ,I find them quite refreshing . Now ,I will do bulletproof coffee..my version...or various teas. When I first start longer fasts I had some hunger issues,but they are just " feelings" ,rather easy to ignore. Life is not ending just because one feels hungry,but I rarely get hungry now. My longer fasts are up to 48 hours. I want to go longer to get my vision back.
Once again, Dr. Ekberg hits it out of the park with his "powerpoint" presentations. They are so simple and clear. Whoever designs these should get a raise! A few of my friends keep calling what I'm doing a diet and it is not sustainable. I tell them it's not a diet, its a lifestyle. I am now at my ideal weight. 5' 10" 150 lbs. I'm 65 years old. Dr. Ekberg and a few others on RUclips have changed my life. I feel better than ever. Thank you.
Thank You Sal Lazuka. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. I make the power points myself, so I'll make a note to give myself a raise. LOL 😄
I have been doing this diet for only a week and the pounds are falling off! I have no cravings and always craved sweets on the diet my doctor recommended!
The only doctors I trust: Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Stan Ekberg and Dr. Jason Fung. You sirs really changed my life and I am cincerely grateful. I have been struggeling with my weight all my life since my early teens. It's a lifestile and not a diet. I have been doing IF for a couple of months so far, started doing OMAD and prolonged fasts recently. I have never felt better and I enjoy my mental clarity. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
I started losing weight in June due to very high blood pressure. Initially I just went with calorie deficiency but I soon hit a weight that I could not get below no matter how hard I tried. That's when I switch to 16:8 IF and even though I continued to loose weigh it wasn't nearly as dramatic. I then added a healthy (ideal) HFLC Keto on top of the 16:8 IF and now my weight is in free fall. I feel great and my blood pressure is almost normal with no meds.
That's Really Great News and Taking no Med's Definitely that's Right Way Go, IAm NOT On med's either and I had terrible blood pressure in Past, Now My Pressure back to Normal doing Great on Blood Pressure.
@meilysumantri9819 look at labels on everything..stay below 20 carbs a day .eat whole foods like leafy greens in a salad..fresh meats like steaks ..chicken n fish eggs. Real butter coconut oil .Avocado oil and olive oil ..stay away from breads .pasta cakes cookies crackers and junk .eat keto treats occasionally .. I know this message is old .but figured I would reply anyways 😊
I’m italian and have followed a mediterran diet since little. It involves a huge good variety but also lots of carbs pasta pizza etc I must admit I always been overweight then started doing sport and balanced most of it but always had that yo yo effect and because I enjoy food luckily I also filled in amazing fish meat and all the vegetables and fruits. I have removed Carbs totally from my diet since 2 weeks and intend to go forward with it and managing to not eat after 5 pm. I am doing amazingly including at least 4 hours if I can 6 of cardio at week with only one or two meals per day. My personal shock and realization of how bad are carbs was eating two pizzas and still feeling hungry and craving for more. Thank you doctor!!! Amazing channel and great clear dedicated explanations.
Thank you Dale Val. I'm happy to hear that. Remember that you have to feed your brain chemically, structurally and emotionally. Eat Better, Move Better, Think & Feel Better.😄
@@drekberg i agree Dr E, you may consider a teaching video on brain preservation, I'm at the same age of 62, my dear Mother Grace started her battle with AD, she went from a vibrant chief nurse to a 80 lb, crippled and bed ridden, brutal when we feed our body but our brain is starved and destroyed with plaque .
People love to hear lies and fantasies. For example, eating lots of fat and meat is good for you, and eating whole grains, fruits and vegetables is bad for you
@@JesusChrist5000WELL WELL listen to you Vegan hero Timmy, let me ask you, do think one style of eating works for all men?, if you where like me and had chronic dietetics for 37 years, you may sing a different tune, eating any carbs forced me to use insulin injections every meal, which make our body store fat from every calorie , a strict diet my family Doc taught me,??, I was eating 1500 cal, and getting fatter and sicker, so I choose a healthy fats, low carb veg, low carb fruits, grass fed meat,and fasting all Dr E and Jason Fung teach here and all videos? , i lost 78 lbs, I was booked to have my left foot amputated, by following a healthy fasting and keto lifestyle , Let me as you Tim, calling his advice deadly, do you know death like me?, have you ever gone 30 days without food?, have you ever been faced with gangrene and an early grave, only to learn advice like what you preach was the root cause of my fate , Bread, sugar, high carb fruit, high carb veg destroyed my life, if you knew anything about Dr E, you would know he promotes only the things that heal, grains and farming can sustain some, but are an early grave for those like me, with metabolic disorder, so you'll do well to do a little more research before you chime in to insult so many that have survived from a good mans sound advice, I take you're attack on him rather personally,, you should know what he really teaches and grow up a bit more before you post comments that only work for 60 % of the population .
I am diabetic, type 2. I was on Lantus 50 units daily with 5-8 units regular with meals. Never below 180 on glucose checks. I've been on keto 3 weeks with intermittant fasting. I am off my insulin totally staying below 180, down 30 pounds and two pants sizes. I'm focusing on healthy lifestyle, gave up my diet pop, 40 - 80 oz a day. Feel so much better and believe me motivated to make this a totally new lifestyle, sure wish I'd found your videos years ago. Thank you so much.
I watch your videos the same way I attend a class. listens to each sentences carefully. I have made very good changes in my life after listening to your videos. Iam type 2 diabetic, but it is very well controlled now. Iam a nurse from Ireland
I would suggest that teachers unions and school boards across the country adopt Dr. Ekberg's videos for mandatory learning in all schools. For health classes and home economics classes also. Knowledge is power, power is winning. We can defeat obesity and diabetes.
I don’t think they want to do that. The new thing they tell you is to eat when ur hungry. Well I’m hungry all the time and if I do that I will be seriously obese. They make money off of people having disorders and illnesses.
I would suggest you start at the State Department of Education in each state as well as the US Department of Education….those are where curriculum actually has to be approved before it even gets to a school board or a teacher union which doesn’t normally determine curriculum.
i was raised in a middle eastern family so main food on the table was always either rice, potatoes, pasta and BREAD accompanied by some sort of protein... I have started my lifestyle change at the end of January 2023 and it has been hard, very hard to eliminate or lessen the amount of carbs. I am still having carbs but nowhere near the amount I used to have. I have started IF for 2 weeks now and doing 16/8 or 8/6 plus some home workouts, I have lost 12kg in just over 2 months. I feel much better and much more energetic. Thank you so much for these amazing life changing videos. ❤
Thanks for posting these videos Sten. I'm 63 and In 6 months, I've dropped my morning blood sugar levels 150 points and my weight by 20 pounds. I have far more energy and my blood pressure has gone down significantly. I've gone off the Metformin too. All of this on Keto with 18/6 intermittent fasting along with some occasional 36 hour fasts. This program works!
Wow 36 hours fasting, amazing!!! I just did 24 hours for the past two days and its wonderful. I feel kindda bad bc i am T2S and has covid for the past 5 days. I am on vitamins and my condition hasnt been as severe as in 2020. Exercise sure helps keeping the body busy.
Thank you for posting this video it has helped me understand a great deal more about the different diets that are out there. I've been so lost and not knowing which one to do which one to use which one will work for me and this explains a lot and helps me to understand what will probably work best for me. I'm curious as to how you feel about this go lo plan? I've been seeing a lot of advertisements for it and I'm curious about it as well without asking you to advertise or promote them just to help with information.
I am so proud and happy for all the young people who are choosing this lifestyle. I regret that I didn't know about it earlier. Keep up your lifestyle and you will reap the rewards of health and happiness. God bless all of you ❤🐾
Super awesome video I did Atkins diet about 25 years ago and fell off got Re-Fatted in a bad way. Now about 2+ years ago I was told I was pre-diabetic and this was by the same health care provider I had all along. BUT this diagnosis flipped a switch for me and I went back to low carb (way of life now). This video got me to understand IR finally. At 74 y/o people often tell me I look great 😊 but sometimes I think the Women are flirting, Priceless!
I've started 18:6 IF & I feel great. I eat my first meal at 1or 2pm then I have a protein shake at around 7pm . I usually drink lemon ginger tea or green tea for breakfast & drink plenty of water throughout the day.
I love this! I lost 60 lbs going OMAD and strict paleo-no exercise. I did it because an autoimmune flare up and the weight loss was just a bonus. I truly didn’t realize I’d lose weight. I was largely uneducated, but had heard of another person having success with their disease on that regime. It works.
@@lightbeingpontifex Have a close look at what you are eating, paleo doesn’t work for everyone, you may need to step it up a bit, on his chart. I initially did it for autoimmune reasons, clean keto, hit a plateau and had to add IF. We are all different.
We all know what to do, but I believe it’s the application and adherence that are often the obstacles to achieving the desired outcome. If you can comply, and make it a lifestyle like Doc is saying, then you’re truly set for life. We have the power, everyone! Now, let’s do it (and keep going)!!!
Thank you Jennifer Myers. We all need to be plugged in to something that keeps feeding us reasons and motivation. That's how you stay on track. Watch, read, listen to something uplifting every day.😄
I think the high stress from working FT + all the family responsibilities leaves us all exhausted. It is very difficult to plan a food list, stick to the diet, meal prep, and exercise 3-5x a week always. I did 15 years of regular exercise and then I had to take care of elderly parents...not so easy anymore. I love the video's. Hope to get back on track.
Most all is not sustainable. Now, also add in the cost of good food. Too expensive for avg person. Everyone has an answer yet America is fattest country. Terrible costly food, plus lack of time to plan all this crap equals failure. Just cut your calories and exercise a bit
@@Mrtellitlikeitis Maybe you will save money by eating healthy food because it gives you all the nutrients that you need (not needing as much) as opposed all the money for the unhealthy food that does not provide your body all the nutrients it needs and thus spending more. Thought about this yesterday when I was so shocked in the store. When I eat healthy I feel full and satisfied and when I don’t eat healthy foods, I tend to binge. What is really more expensive? Especially when you factor in possible medical bills and loss of quality of life. Turning 60 soon and doing much self-reflection on what I want my future life to look like. Blessings to anyone who reads this. Remember how amazing and special you are!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! Because of the information you have provided I have lost 30lbs over the past 6 months. I am 6'6" and was 250lbs, now 220 - 53 yr old male. I could hardly do a push up and now am doing sets of 25 from my toes. My arms started at 14" and now are 14.5" at the bicep. My waist started at 42 and now is down to 37 (when sucked in, lol). I cannot thank you enough for the improvement in my life quality, your information has turned my life around.
You explained Hypoglycemia well. That was my problem growing up. The doctor told me I was on the border of becoming a Type 2 diabetic. Little did I know at the time that it was from all the sweets and refined carbs I craved. Now I’m a 59 year old woman who watches all my carbs. The menopausal weight gain of 30 pounds has been a big struggle.
Low carb (about 50g or less per day) and intermittent fasting (4-6 hour eating window per day) helped me lose a lot of weight. It can be rough to get used to for a few weeks though.
Dr. Exberg. I was on keto, and loss weight, perfect blood sugar and blood pressure. But now, I will add intermittent fasting. Thank you for your dedication in educating us. In a perfect understanding way. 🥰
I love this man soooo much! I pray may God always bless you🙌🏾I lost weight and learned how to eat just by watching you. Been struggling with insulin resistance 😩I didn’t know the struggle! Now I stopped to eat rice, bread, beans and daily! I eat them occasionally! Sir you changed my life for free😭😭I’m a happy wife and Mother! Thank you so much and my life style eating IF 18hrs! I love you and appreciate you 🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Honestly you are my favorite page to watch now. Over gaming, music, shows, everything. The way you explain everything and your attitude towards helping everyone is amazing. There's noone I would rather listen to for hours on end. I love learning about my body from you!
I was trying to lose belly fat for years but It was not possible. When i saw your video i started IF & low carb diet and within a month i lost significant amount of belly fat. And when i do OMAD i feel energetic my life has changed I am very thankful for you mr Ekberg!
Fantastic presentation. Sharing this with anyone who will listen. I have been a "health nut" for decades and have achieved a good bit of success but this presentation put it all together for me. In addition to this i have done the apple/olive oil liver detox several times and at age 62 removed two dozen gall stones. This ended pain in the gall bladder area permanently for me. You are helping so many people. Thank You!
I would like to say a heart felt thank you to you Dr Sten. Thank you for not hiding this information behind a paywall. Thank you for sharing knowledge so freely and so excellently. You are a true helper of mankind. I am sure you will be extremely blessed by what you do. I have been looking for this information for a long time, really not understanding what causes belly fat is a mystery to people like me. You nailed it in this video so that I feel like I know what to do about the problem. Please keep doing what you do and let me know if you have a patreon or books that I can purchase. Well done Doc.
Clean keto or low carb high fat with intermittent fasting. The degree of low carb and degree of intermittent fasting according to the needs of the individual. Finally, the truth is out. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, I understand!
and of course, no margarine, no trans, low omega 6, low to no artificial ingredients (sometime you just can't avoid them, they put those nasties in everything).
It sucks when u can't even have a (1/2cup-cup) carb serving 2x a month. IIt's OK at home, but when you're at a BBQ and u just want a handful of chips, or it's your friend's birthday and everyone's eating cake. (I never did like the icing.) Stay on keto 2-3 weeks, then one serving , I gain 4 lbs. They say that's water weight. Why does it take a months to go away? Been doing all the right things for a bout 2 years. Lost 10 lbs, but this last 10 wants to hang on. I'm 68. Just can't seem to drop the last 10 lbs. I fast 18:6 most days. I always feel deprived.
@@staceykersting705 one hidden issue people have that causes issues is h pylori bacteria in the stomach. You should see gastroenterologist and be screened for it. It really can mess with your body and mind.
I have been studying this for a couple of years and more torn and confused then ever, EXCEPT for your videos. They resonate with me so clearly especially when I think of what's worked for me in the past to lose weight. I am so glad I found you now even though I'm over 50 and gone up and down with weight over my lifetime. Now what you make available is how I will be living my life! Thank you!!!
Best Pronunciation and Diction .. Everybody around the world can easily understand .. You speak like a caring Teacher and excellent communicator. God Bless you
I followed the advice I found from Dr Jamnadas, Dr Fung and you to first eliminate sugar and processed foods, then started IF 18/6, now to OMAD WITH 24 hours fasting, my belly fat is decreasing rapidly and I have more energy than when I was in my 40’s, turning 72 next week so it’s never too late to make better choices.
YESSSSS! IF has been a game changer for me! I started IF, a low carb/moderate fat/high protein diet and frequent exercise last July. ...I have maintained an average of weight of 127 lbs (...@5'6"; 50 years old), which is what I weighed in HS (1988). I'll never go back. Ever!
On this lifestyle for good health long term. Learn something each week from Dr Ekberg and incorporate that to maximise results - down 30 lbs already and still going strong! Thank you for this education!
@@drekberg oh, there is no going back! My tastebuds as well as my mindset have changed too much and I can see and feel the benefits of this lifestyle. ❤️
Love all your videos! Always so educational! What works for me is intermittent fasting and mostly keto. My metabolism is slow so I only eat once a day 5/6 times a week. Four months into it and I'm down 40 pounds. Still have 60 more to go. Its no longer a diet but like you say, a life style change. What really turn me around was understanding what insulin and fasting does to the body.
Very interesting explanation. This does not address habitual eating, which is why a lot of people are overweight. (me!) You can be "not really hungry" but you eat "because it's lunch time," or "dinner time," or "TV watching time." This psychological hunger can be as addictive as drugs!
Thank you so much for this information. My wife and I started the keto diet a little over two weeks ago. I am diabetic, she is not. My daily blood sugars have dropped dramatically from an average of 180 or so to less than 90 everyday. In fact yesterday I had a low sugar issue with a BG of around 50. I was shaking and seemed very week. So today I am reducing my insulin injection. I have lost about ten pounds since we started. I have reached out to my endocrinologist for guidance but I have not yet received a response. Thank you for sharing this information.
That’s wonderful! If your doctor does not respect you enough to give you a response in a timely fashion -get yourself another doctor. Since you lost weight that mean that your body composition has changed -you have to adjust your dose and your doctor should help you with that- the best to you😎
Thanks Dr. Ekberg i have been watching your videos for a while and I changed my lifestyle and I'm intermittent fasting for 5 days a week and not fasting during the weekend. I have been doing this for two month and i lost 15 pounds with ease. Now I'm trying to stop eating junk food but it's not that easy . I stopped drinking any type of sugar drink i try to drink only water. Sometimes i drink beer when I'm out with friends.I'm doing little changes every week so i don't overwhelm myself.I think in the next few month i will have a healthier diet by doing little changes and not doing everything at once. I think doing little changes every week or month is better than changing your diet completely since day 1. Remember it's a marathon not a race :)
Your videos with the information has changed my eating habits. I was totally against Keto lifestyle and decided it was not for me. After watching your videos where you explain things in a way I can understand, I decided to give it a try. It has been little over two weeks since I went on a Keto diet and I feel much better, I do not have cravings, I have noticed I am skipping meals and not snacking. I appreciate you doing these videos as I am sure they have helped more than just myself.
Can you speak about the hormonal changes women go through after 40 and how that affects weight gain? And if the keto diet works the same for those women as women who are not going through hormonal changes.
I loved all the previous belly fat videos, and am so pumped to watch this one! Thanks for all your work, Dr. Ekberg, I've lost about 5 kilos since I started keto/intermittent about 3 weeks ago. It's changed my life and I thought I was a HARD CASE -- no, I just didn't have access to this information on how the body works! Thank you so much!
Thank you Hard Case for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you are seeing results. I love your comment "I just didn't have access to this information on how the body works!" Keep it up! 😄
Thank you so much for your clear and understandable videos! Video after video is teaching me a little more about how I can lose weight and be healthier in the long term. I love that you are not selling any products (well, I haven't seen anything like it anyway), because that makes me feel like you really care about peoples health and it is not about filling your pockets ! Thank you for making this available to everyone, especiall those that cannot afford to spend money on memberships etc. I really appreciate all you do for anyone that is interested !
Will you do a presentation on Spices and their therapeutic effects on the body? How do they interact with the body? Cinnamon for Blood Sugar control, Turmeric anti-inflammation, Cumin for Tinnitus(?not sure)
A calorie is not just a calorie! 🤯! I tried to explain this to my son by saying if I get 1000 calories of just veggies vs 1000 calorie of carbs and sugars, they are not the same. So telling someone to cut back on calories is not the answer. He says no one eats 1000 calories of veggies….totally missed the point!🙄. Love your videos.
No one eats 100 cals of veggies? That's not much sweet potato at all, and even one bag of romaine has 60 cals. I add a huge handful of power greens and I'm almost there. I have a box of mushrooms and a large onion with my egg scramble, or eat a can of black olives...pretty sure I hit it quite easily every day! Do we get to add fruits like avocado and blueberries...eat those pretty much daily, too. Once u get off the pasta, rice, bread thing, u eat a lot of veggies. I can't eat much more meat than about 5oz...it's very filling!
Doc, your explanation is by far the best on the internet... your tempo and measured speaking is well understood. You've earned my subscription, keep the great info coming. I will be taking this one day at a time and will WIN! Thank you.
Great timing. Thanks Doc. I started Keto early last year and lost about 17 kilos by end of 2020 (went from 110.5kg to a very stubborn plateau at 93-94kg at the lowest point) with only moderate exercise. Then just before Xmas started back on the old way of eating (I used Xmas as an excuse to eat what I wanted) and since then gained back 10 of those kilos in pretty quick time. I feel quite ashamed of myself that I let it slip so badly, but at least I finally realised that this has to be a non-negotiable lifestyle each and every day. For me there can be no "Oh to heck with it, I'll eat pizza tonight", or "I'll grab a quick bowl of pasta" because I always found it quite difficult to get back on track after cheat days, and especially cheat weekends. The really great thing about Keto, was that while I was on it I had zero desire for junk like chips, sweets, ice creams, etc .... and hardly ever ate any. I didn't want or need them. Anyway, I plan to start again next week and do Intermittent Fasting with Keto meal plans during the eating window. Keto worked for me and so did IF, so a combination should be great.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I do understand your pain because I have been in your shoes. Its the curse of the genetics and we have to give ourselves some grace and do the best we can. At the end of the day counting calories, exercising, doing keto day in day out is all exhausting making one feel cheated when you see how certain people can eat everything under the sun and never gain weight and have the best blood reports and there's others like you and I who toil away with each ounce of our willpower yet results do'nt come easy. Be kind to yourself.....stress and obsession does not help
Hi Dr could you do a video on how to avoid constipation on a low carb diet? This would be so helpful. Thank you. I enjoy your videos and find them very helpful.
Il dott. Marco Berrino in Italia afferma esattamente le stesse cose, per gli italiani, seguitelo se vi interessa capire e capirvi. Bravo dott.Ekberg, se solo le persone spendessero un decimo del loro tempo passato a guardare tiktok guardando lei, in milioni vivrebbero forse qualche anno in più. Sembra poco? I miei complimenti doc.👍
Il dott. Berrino è un mito, purtroppo anche nel nostro paese è difficile sradicare decenni di false convinzioni alimentari supportate da famosi dietologi che sono più personaggi televisivi che medici. Seguendo Berrino ed Ekberg sono riuscita a recuperare la forma perduta, curare malattie autoimmuni e liberarmi dalla schiavitù delle pillole per la pressione. Mi sento ringiovanita di un decennio, mai stata meglio in vita mia. Il regime keto omad ha fatto miracoli per me! 👍
Keep spreading this message. There is a wall that goes up when I try to teach this to my my parents. Hopefully, one day thanks to people like you people will adopt and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Keep doing your thing Doctor! 😎✊
I admire your patience to reiterate these principles time to time for us! Over the last year I learned a lot from you and adopted your advice. My life is changed because of it. Forever grateful for your dedication!
Thank you Frankston Safranek. 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 love to listen to this Doctor .. He speaks clearly and he explains everything .. easy to understand and are factual .. His lecture is scientific yet he make it easy to understand
I’m thin all around with a bloated belly at the end of the day. I look like I’m 3 months pregnant. I started IF and keto about a month now because my a1c and cholesterol was high. After a few weeks my stomach is flat and I feel great!
@@pia9968 should help if you add fermented vegetables, fermented dairies and more fibers, from vegetables especially in form of cooked cabbage, if you like the taste, from whole grains (i think rice, millet, buckwheat? not wheat), seeds, nuts and roots. Avoid those high in easy to digest carbs though.
@@BlueAngeluv who says that and what proof backs him/her? Ok, I read something into it and they blame keto died because it raises LDL levels and LDL is "linked" with high heart disease risk. If you followed dr.Sten more, you might already know what LDL actually do and between it and heart disease it's a correlation not causation effect, LDL level being increased by metabolic syndrome. it's like saying increased police activity in a city dominated by gangs is the cause of all shootings or firefighter activity causes fires.
When someone uses professional terms from a certain profession in their presentation, then it is the language of ignorance, not the language of knowledge. Fortunately for us, that is not the case here, and I am very happy to have a teacher like this! 👍
Dr Ekberg, each of your videos presents an important topic detrimental to our overall health. I personally know the amount of time you need to invest in doing research to finding the best and most truthful information in regards to what is best for our health, and to filter out all the misinformation before presenting it to your viewers. Luckily, we can also count of your many years of experience and knowledge in holistic healthcare. Once again, thank you 😊
Oh crumbs l hope so, lm one of those few that have an awful metabolism, no added carbs at all. I did it once before Christmas but the 12 lbs l put on, l can't shift, it's as though l have a boulder in my stomach. Arrh 🙁😕
Wow, only a few years ago we would have had to pay 100's of $ to get this stunning advice!!! Thank you so much, as you point out, with just a bit of willpower the beer belly can be vanquished for good.
Thank you for another straight forward video. Doing something for a while has never worked for weight loss for most of us. Getting healthy is the key to weight loss for good.
Clean keto with intermittent fasting. Truly the best combo. I'm still doing clean keto, but been lax with the IF lately. Reached my weight loss goal (103kg to 83kg)
such as class doctor with great story telling abilities. Kudos, to you Doctor, Because of you i have completely stopped sugar and i am feeling great! keep up the good work and stay safe!
I had been watching a lot of your videos and thank you. Last Wednesday (8/25/ l started the 16 hour fasting and on Thursday l started the 24 fasting. I am Polynesian and we are plegue with high blood pressure etc due to the high starchy and fatty food we eat. I haven't got any of our typical plague and lm not planning on it. I try to watch what l eat and l will do a 24 hours fasting for a week and see how it goes. So far so good. Goin 18 hours as you are doin sounds good after l get to my targeted weight of 190 pounds. It's a long way there cos l am 252.2 pounds when l weigh last Wednesday. I am 5'-10" and I gained those weight since 2005. I am determined to reach my goal of 190 pounds after watching your videos. It's goin to be a life style and thank you!
Love your videos. I have tried FASTING before but likely tried to do it too much and failed. I really like the 18/6 regiment but have been stretching it to 21/3 regiment and can easily make it through the day. Also, am trying a month long hiatus on bread. My biggest downfall before. That is really tough.
I started LCHF and OMAD a couple of days ago, and I am surprised how easy it is to go the rest of the day through the night and up till the next day on that one meal at around 2 - 3 pm.
I've recently discovered your channel & love the incredible information you provide. Truly exceptional. My question (and appeal to you) is what on earth happens when you've had medication (medium or long term) and you gain weight that simply does not shift? You end up bloated, pudgy and this weight does not behave like other weight gain. It's driving me crazy. I fully realise you're not my personal trainer, but there are a LOT of people like me, that are bewildered & getting nowhere after meds. I was the same weight -more or less- from 14y/o to 47y/o, I hovered around 54 kilograms +/- 2kgs. Now I'm almost 80kgs!!!!! Many people are even worse. Re Keto: Sadly, I've NEVER been able to eat protein making a keto diet pretty much impossible. It makes me really unwell, tired, migrainous, and also causes significant pain for many days. I changed to a plant based diet in my mid teens and that was a massive improvement. When people end up with ME-CFS (+migraine & headache, fibromyalgia, ibs {fodmap], mcs {including multiple food sensitivities which seems to be incredibly common for this condition} ) and there are now many thousands of people who are going through long covid & will end up with ME-CFS, protein becomes undigestible & eating the kind of foods that form keto diets become close to impossible. Many, like me, simply cannot eat the amount of food required on keto diets. If you have the time & inclination Dr Ekberg, there are a LOT of us out here that can't do keto, and/or because of illness, our challenges are so much greater than people who are without an illness (you don't know how lucky you are - profoundly lucky). It would make for a very helpful video & guidelines which are sadly lacking. Doctors don't have a clue & neither do most nutritionists & dietitians. Crazy, but true. Thanks again, for your prolific & exceptional content
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. Friday is my favorite day of the week because I know I’m going to learn something new about nutrition that is going to make me healthier. Your videos are the perfect combination of practical information coupled with sound science based explanations. One of the most informative and useful health channels on RUclips.
I was diagnosed as being hypoglycaemic in my teens when I kept passing out, feeling faint and wobbly. My doctor told me to always carry a Mars chocolate bar to have a shot of glucose if I started to feel faint. Now I'm nearly 60 and the pounds have piled on for the last 25 years or so and even intermittent fasting hasn't helped - because the apparently naturally higher insulin levels are preventing me accessing the stored fat. I'm looking forward to trying these new ideas to see if I can finally lose the excess weight. If only YOU had been my doctor all those years ago!!
I always did intermittent fasting when I was young...my mother called it “starving myself.” I didn’t have a term for I.F., and called it, “not eating past 6pm.” I used to make my poor mum crazy. She always insisted I was starving myself. I just didn’t feel well if I ate late in the day.
I think the concern especially with young people is that it could potential turn into an eating disorder. I think the key is paying attention to the behaviors of how they are fasting and noticing if it turns into a problem.
Desde el 1ro de marzo 2023 eliminé tortillas, pan, harinas, azúcar y chocolates; mis antojos y hambre descontrolada disminuyó increíblemente en 1-2 días, apenas han pasado 14 días y me siento muy bien, tan así que estoy considerando la dieta LCHF o Keto. ( No cabe duda que era una adicta al azúcar y carbohidratos ( azúcar también ) Muchas Gracias Dr. Sten Eckberg

I am big fan of you doc😁. Just wondering what are your thought about a high protein, low fat and carb duet combined to IF of course? Thanks in advance
Thank you for all you do Dr. Ekberg! Health is Wealth!
So you are saying every tho I did a 20 hour I need to go longer 24 30 48 I lost but hit a Plato. For how long.
Also keto and intermittent do I go. Each time I hit a Plato. What then?
@@laelmom I do 36 to 48 hour fast about 4 to 8 times a year. They are great for autophagy and they do work to break a plateau.
Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting for life.
I have lost 100lbs / 45kg in 12 months by watching, listening and understanding Dr Ekberg’s advice on eating clean and exercising.
Thank you, you have changed and saved my life.
UPDATE: October 2022. I have now lost 110lbs / 50kg in 16 months and my weight has stayed the same for the last few months, i have a healthy BMI, healthy body fat and visceral fat measurements and exercising daily, along with healthy eating. I am not trying to lose any more weight and my body has found this balance of energy that is not losing or gaining any weight, I am happier and younger than ever. Thank you Dr Ekberg!
❤👋
Well done, you saved your own life by listening to wise advice 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow! Congrats! I'm now always getting inspired by such a gem of a doctor! 👏
Thank Jesus too for creating such a wise man .
Thank You your message Very interesting this Save my Life Too.
I am now 65yrs old and have been wearing a 32" waist for the last 3 year's...have not been in a 32" waist since 1974 in basic training! Listen to this man!!! Thanks Doc!!!
Awesome, congratulations 👍
Well done Sir, I went from 36 to 29 in a couple of years, I'm now 42. I eat complex carbs tho.
Good job
the doc,s waist size is more than 34 ,,, he is kind of skinny fat.
Dr. Ekberg.
I find it amazing how perfect your English is. I mean, a guy from Sweden with little to no accent is truly amazing. Nothing wrong with Accents because my mother is from Greece. I just really admire your dedication to helping people, the way you encourage people, and the research you provide us with!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
You should get Nobel prize for health advice
Yes i lost 10 kilos by fasting and exercise but gained it all back and more .. i lost hope and reverted back to eating normally...but now I will reduce carbs, increase protein and fibres.. will try out again and see the results.. from tomorrow onwards see you after a few months
I lost 80lbs in the past 12 months because of the information in these videos.
Wow! I'll bet you feel so much better. 😊
Congratulations!
Wow ...amazing
dude you're a rock
I SALUTE YOU👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Since I cut out sugar and carbs, I no longer crave foods ,and actually, I'm often not hungry. I eat one meal a day ...lost over 50lbs since March
Truly Amazing. What time of day do you eat?
Me too. Keep going!
I typically eat about 6 to 7 in the evening..mostly...I also do longer fasts ,I find them quite refreshing . Now ,I will do bulletproof coffee..my version...or various teas. When I first start longer fasts I had some hunger issues,but they are just " feelings" ,rather easy to ignore. Life is not ending just because one feels hungry,but I rarely get hungry now. My longer fasts are up to 48 hours. I want to go longer to get my vision back.
@@johnpickett8533 Thanks for responding. You're disciplined. Fasting to improve vision is my next subject to research. Thanks again.
One meal a day? I eat two meals a day.
Once again, Dr. Ekberg hits it out of the park with his "powerpoint" presentations. They are so simple and clear. Whoever designs these should get a raise! A few of my friends keep calling what I'm doing a diet and it is not sustainable. I tell them it's not a diet, its a lifestyle. I am now at my ideal weight. 5' 10" 150 lbs. I'm 65 years old. Dr. Ekberg and a few others on RUclips have changed my life. I feel better than ever. Thank you.
Thank You Sal Lazuka. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. I make the power points myself, so I'll make a note to give myself a raise. LOL 😄
@@drekberg 😂👍🏻x
@@drekberg I’m sorry for being stupid but what diet do you recommend?
And what is your definition of jo-jo dieting?
I have been doing this diet for only a week and the pounds are falling off! I have no cravings and always craved sweets on the diet my doctor recommended!
@@superkatarsis Did you even see the video? When yes, you know which diet he recommends - Keto with some intermatting fasting.
The only doctors I trust: Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Stan Ekberg and Dr. Jason Fung. You sirs really changed my life and I am cincerely grateful. I have been struggeling with my weight all my life since my early teens. It's a lifestile and not a diet. I have been doing IF for a couple of months so far, started doing OMAD and prolonged fasts recently. I have never felt better and I enjoy my mental clarity. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
I agree . They are the three best doctors. I already lost 40 lbs by following their teachings that reinforce one another .
Berg has become a greedy shill.
I started losing weight in June due to very high blood pressure. Initially I just went with calorie deficiency but I soon hit a weight that I could not get below no matter how hard I tried. That's when I switch to 16:8 IF and even though I continued to loose weigh it wasn't nearly as dramatic. I then added a healthy (ideal) HFLC Keto on top of the 16:8 IF and now my weight is in free fall. I feel great and my blood pressure is almost normal with no meds.
Hi, what menu food you have for loss weight in HFLC diet ? Confusing to start the diet😊
@@meilysumantri9819 I wonder why you got no reply.
That's Really Great News and Taking no Med's Definitely that's Right Way Go, IAm NOT On med's either and I had terrible blood pressure in Past, Now My Pressure back to Normal doing Great on Blood Pressure.
Wow that sounds great.
@meilysumantri9819 look at labels on everything..stay below 20 carbs a day .eat whole foods like leafy greens in a salad..fresh meats like steaks ..chicken n fish eggs. Real butter coconut oil .Avocado oil and olive oil ..stay away from breads .pasta cakes cookies crackers and junk .eat keto treats occasionally .. I know this message is old .but figured I would reply anyways 😊
I’m italian and have followed a mediterran diet since little.
It involves a huge good variety but also lots of carbs pasta pizza etc
I must admit I always been overweight then started doing sport and balanced most of it but always had that yo yo effect and because I enjoy food luckily I also filled in amazing fish meat and all the vegetables and fruits.
I have removed Carbs totally from my diet since 2 weeks and intend to go forward with it and managing to not eat after 5 pm.
I am doing amazingly including at least 4 hours if I can 6 of cardio at week with only one or two meals per day.
My personal shock and realization of how bad are carbs was eating two pizzas and still feeling hungry and craving for more.
Thank you doctor!!!
Amazing channel and great clear dedicated explanations.
There's lots of information saying you only need to do 20 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. End your exercise with 15 or so seconds of HIIT.
I can tell this man feeds his brain well, listening to him makes mine healthier. Thanks Dr E
Yesi realy loves him
Thank you Dale Val. I'm happy to hear that. Remember that you have to feed your brain chemically, structurally and emotionally. Eat Better, Move Better, Think & Feel Better.😄
@@drekberg i agree Dr E, you may consider a teaching video on brain preservation, I'm at the same age of 62, my dear Mother Grace started her battle with AD, she went from a vibrant chief nurse to a 80 lb, crippled and bed ridden, brutal when we feed our body but our brain is starved and destroyed with plaque .
People love to hear lies and fantasies. For example, eating lots of fat and meat is good for you, and eating whole grains, fruits and vegetables is bad for you
@@JesusChrist5000WELL WELL listen to you Vegan hero Timmy, let me ask you, do think one style of eating works for all men?, if you where like me and had chronic dietetics for 37 years, you may sing a different tune, eating any carbs forced me to use insulin injections every meal, which make our body store fat from every calorie , a strict diet my family Doc taught me,??, I was eating 1500 cal, and getting fatter and sicker, so I choose a healthy fats, low carb veg, low carb fruits, grass fed meat,and fasting all Dr E and Jason Fung teach here and all videos? , i lost 78 lbs, I was booked to have my left foot amputated, by following a healthy fasting and keto lifestyle , Let me as you Tim, calling his advice deadly, do you know death like me?, have you ever gone 30 days without food?, have you ever been faced with gangrene and an early grave, only to learn advice like what you preach was the root cause of my fate , Bread, sugar, high carb fruit, high carb veg destroyed my life, if you knew anything about Dr E, you would know he promotes only the things that heal, grains and farming can sustain some, but are an early grave for those like me, with metabolic disorder, so you'll do well to do a little more research before you chime in to insult so many that have survived from a good mans sound advice, I take you're attack on him rather personally,, you should know what he really teaches and grow up a bit more before you post comments that only work for 60 % of the population .
I am diabetic, type 2. I was on Lantus 50 units daily with 5-8 units regular with meals. Never below 180 on glucose checks. I've been on keto 3 weeks with intermittant fasting. I am off my insulin totally staying below 180, down 30 pounds and two pants sizes. I'm focusing on healthy lifestyle, gave up my diet pop, 40 - 80 oz a day. Feel so much better and believe me motivated to make this a totally new lifestyle, sure wish I'd found your videos years ago. Thank you so much.
CONGRATS TO YOU.....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Baby step s and consistency will "get you there"!!
Keep up the great work!
Went from 197lbs to 159 thanks to doctor Ekberg!
(5’ 10”)
Amazing!
Outstanding! Keep up the good work
That's my goal, same height 😊
How?
What did you do? 😩
The fact that y'all can eat food period is a blessing, some of us cannot, and it's a painful, unfulfilling condition.
True... But you do have RUclips so there's that.
Honestly, you are saving lives. I'm down 40 LBS now , changed my life
I watch your videos the same way I attend a class. listens to each sentences carefully. I have made very good changes in my life after listening to your videos. Iam type 2 diabetic, but it is very well controlled now. Iam a nurse from Ireland
I would suggest that teachers unions and school boards across the country adopt Dr. Ekberg's videos for mandatory learning in all schools. For health classes and home economics classes also. Knowledge is power, power is winning. We can defeat obesity and diabetes.
I don’t think they want to do that. The new thing they tell you is to eat when ur hungry. Well I’m hungry all the time and if I do that I will be seriously obese. They make money off of people having disorders and illnesses.
Maybe they just need to start with healthy food choices for schools!
Can't sell pills to healthy people, never happening.
I would suggest you start at the State Department of Education in each state as well as the US Department of Education….those are where curriculum actually has to be approved before it even gets to a school board or a teacher union which doesn’t normally determine curriculum.
@@thiaco6203 good point, every change has to be approved, will those school boards be able to withstand the opposition from big food corporations
i was raised in a middle eastern family so main food on the table was always either rice, potatoes, pasta and BREAD accompanied by some sort of protein... I have started my lifestyle change at the end of January 2023 and it has been hard, very hard to eliminate or lessen the amount of carbs. I am still having carbs but nowhere near the amount I used to have. I have started IF for 2 weeks now and doing 16/8 or 8/6 plus some home workouts, I have lost 12kg in just over 2 months. I feel much better and much more energetic. Thank you so much for these amazing life changing videos. ❤
Well done❤
This is one-stop shopping for anyone looking for a lifestyle promoting health, which literally ticks all the boxes. Thanks,
Dr. Ekberg 💙
Thanks for posting these videos Sten. I'm 63 and In 6 months, I've dropped my morning blood sugar levels 150 points and my weight by 20 pounds. I have far more energy and my blood pressure has gone down significantly. I've gone off the Metformin too. All of this on Keto with 18/6 intermittent fasting along with some occasional 36 hour fasts. This program works!
Wow 36 hours fasting, amazing!!! I just did 24 hours for the past two days and its wonderful. I feel kindda bad bc i am T2S and has covid for the past 5 days. I am on vitamins and my condition hasnt been as severe as in 2020. Exercise sure helps keeping the body busy.
Thank you for sharing can i do intermittent fasting, I’m diabetes and have blood pressure.
Thank you for posting this video it has helped me understand a great deal more about the different diets that are out there. I've been so lost and not knowing which one to do which one to use which one will work for me and this explains a lot and helps me to understand what will probably work best for me. I'm curious as to how you feel about this go lo plan? I've been seeing a lot of advertisements for it and I'm curious about it as well without asking you to advertise or promote them just to help with information.
I am so proud and happy for all the young people who are choosing this lifestyle. I regret that I didn't know about it earlier. Keep up your lifestyle and you will reap the rewards of health and happiness. God bless all of you ❤🐾
Super awesome video I did Atkins diet about 25 years ago and fell off got Re-Fatted in a bad way. Now about 2+ years ago I was told I was pre-diabetic and this was by the same health care provider I had all along. BUT this diagnosis flipped a switch for me and I went back to low carb (way of life now). This video got me to understand IR finally. At 74 y/o people often tell me I look great 😊 but sometimes I think the Women are flirting, Priceless!
I've started 18:6 IF & I feel great. I eat my first meal at 1or 2pm then I have a protein shake at around 7pm . I usually drink lemon ginger tea or green tea for breakfast & drink plenty of water throughout the day.
I love this! I lost 60 lbs going OMAD and strict paleo-no exercise. I did it because an autoimmune flare up and the weight loss was just a bonus. I truly didn’t realize I’d lose weight. I was largely uneducated, but had heard of another person having success with their disease on that regime. It works.
@@lightbeingpontifex Have a close look at what you are eating, paleo doesn’t work for everyone, you may need to step it up a bit, on his chart. I initially did it for autoimmune reasons, clean keto, hit a plateau and had to add IF. We are all different.
@@Solitude11-11 I see results on if + exercise,,, just diet alone only lowers my metabolism and keeps me at the same weight,,,
What did you eat for your OMAD???
What is omad diet ??
Omad = one meal a day
We all know what to do, but I believe it’s the application and adherence that are often the obstacles to achieving the desired outcome. If you can comply, and make it a lifestyle like Doc is saying, then you’re truly set for life. We have the power, everyone! Now, let’s do it (and keep going)!!!
Thank you Jennifer Myers. We all need to be plugged in to something that keeps feeding us reasons and motivation. That's how you stay on track. Watch, read, listen to something uplifting every day.😄
Not true, speak for yourself
100% agree with Jennifer. I have the will/hunger to know but I lack power when it comes to applying all the good stuff.
@@thelmathomas8414 She's actually speaking for those with the guts to change what they don't like. The rest...well, they're on their own. 🤷🏾♀️
All of us who are here or all humans? Because we ALL definitely do NOT know what to do.
I think the high stress from working FT + all the family responsibilities leaves us all exhausted.
It is very difficult to plan a food list, stick to the diet, meal prep, and exercise 3-5x a week always.
I did 15 years of regular exercise and then I had to take care of elderly parents...not so easy anymore.
I love the video's. Hope to get back on track.
Most all is not sustainable. Now, also add in the cost of good food. Too expensive for avg person. Everyone has an answer yet America is fattest country. Terrible costly food, plus lack of time to plan all this crap equals failure. Just cut your calories and exercise a bit
hoping you were able to
@@Mrtellitlikeitis Maybe you will save money by eating healthy food because it gives you all the nutrients that you need (not needing as much) as opposed all the money for the unhealthy food that does not provide your body all the nutrients it needs and thus spending more. Thought about this yesterday when I was so shocked in the store. When I eat healthy I feel full and satisfied and when I don’t eat healthy foods, I tend to binge. What is really more expensive? Especially when you factor in possible medical bills and loss of quality of life. Turning 60 soon and doing much self-reflection on what I want my future life to look like. Blessings to anyone who reads this. Remember how amazing and special you are!
Best wishes to you ❤️🤗
Compounding it is all the garbage food we have here in the US.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! Because of the information you have provided I have lost 30lbs over the past 6 months. I am 6'6" and was 250lbs, now 220 - 53 yr old male. I could hardly do a push up and now am doing sets of 25 from my toes. My arms started at 14" and now are 14.5" at the bicep. My waist started at 42 and now is down to 37 (when sucked in, lol). I cannot thank you enough for the improvement in my life quality, your information has turned my life around.
You explained Hypoglycemia well. That was my problem growing up. The doctor told me I was on the border of becoming a Type 2 diabetic. Little did I know at the time that it was from all the sweets and refined carbs I craved. Now I’m a 59 year old woman who watches all my carbs. The menopausal weight gain of 30 pounds has been a big struggle.
Yes that is very hard to deal with.
Low carb (about 50g or less per day) and intermittent fasting (4-6 hour eating window per day) helped me lose a lot of weight. It can be rough to get used to for a few weeks though.
Thank you ❤
Your teachings have made such a good impact in my life and I can't thank you enough. I am healthier because of it. Keep up the good work.
You are so welcome Nick Buis. I plan to. My work is not done by a long shot. There are still several billion people who haven't seen my videos.😄

I was trying to lose belly fat for years but It was not possible. When i saw your video i started IF & low carb diet and within a month i lost significant amount of belly fat. And when i do OMAD i feel energetic my life has changed I am very thankful for you mr Ekberg!
OMAD is a Acronym for one meal a day
I started cutting down carbs 9 days ago. I honestly don't feel a lot of hunger except when I need to eat. I feel better and feel lighter in my gut.
Fantastic presentation. Sharing this with anyone who will listen. I have been a "health nut" for decades and have achieved a good bit of success but this presentation put it all together for me. In addition to this i have done the apple/olive oil liver detox several times and at age 62 removed two dozen gall stones. This ended pain in the gall bladder area permanently for me. You are helping so many people. Thank You!
I would love to know about the gall stone cleanse. Thanks!
Dr.Ekberg’s explanation just hits different
I would like to say a heart felt thank you to you Dr Sten. Thank you for not hiding this information behind a paywall. Thank you for sharing knowledge so freely and so excellently. You are a true helper of mankind. I am sure you will be extremely blessed by what you do. I have been looking for this information for a long time, really not understanding what causes belly fat is a mystery to people like me. You nailed it in this video so that I feel like I know what to do about the problem. Please keep doing what you do and let me know if you have a patreon or books that I can purchase. Well done Doc.
Clean keto or low carb high fat with intermittent fasting. The degree of low carb and degree of intermittent fasting according to the needs of the individual. Finally, the truth is out. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, I understand!
Thank you Jennifer. You got it.😄
and of course, no margarine, no trans, low omega 6, low to no artificial ingredients (sometime you just can't avoid them, they put those nasties in everything).
It sucks when u can't even have a (1/2cup-cup) carb serving 2x a month. IIt's OK at home, but when you're at a BBQ and u just want a handful of chips, or it's your friend's birthday and everyone's eating cake. (I never did like the icing.) Stay on keto 2-3 weeks, then one serving , I gain 4 lbs. They say that's water weight. Why does it take a months to go away? Been doing all the right things for a bout 2 years. Lost 10 lbs, but this last 10 wants to hang on. I'm 68. Just can't seem to drop the last 10 lbs. I fast 18:6 most days. I always feel deprived.

I have been studying this for a couple of years and more torn and confused then ever, EXCEPT for your videos. They resonate with me so clearly especially when I think of what's worked for me in the past to lose weight. I am so glad I found you now even though I'm over 50 and gone up and down with weight over my lifetime. Now what you make available is how I will be living my life! Thank you!!!

You speak like a caring Teacher and excellent communicator.
God Bless you
I followed the advice I found from Dr Jamnadas, Dr Fung and you to first eliminate sugar and processed foods, then started IF 18/6, now to OMAD WITH 24 hours fasting, my belly fat is decreasing rapidly and I have more energy than when I was in my 40’s, turning 72 next week so it’s never too late to make better choices.
IF, 18-24 hours per day as well as adding eggs to my diet have helped me tremendously
So 18 hours per day is basically eating 2 meals per day instead of 3 right?
@@pdxshredder6883 exactly
This is the only thing that’s helped me lose weight, as well as low carb.
YESSSSS! IF has been a game changer for me! I started IF, a low carb/moderate fat/high protein diet and frequent exercise last July. ...I have maintained an average of weight of 127 lbs (...@5'6"; 50 years old), which is what I weighed in HS (1988).
I'll never go back. Ever!
On this lifestyle for good health long term. Learn something each week from Dr Ekberg and incorporate that to maximise results - down 30 lbs already and still going strong! Thank you for this education!
Thank you Caroline Murray for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg oh, there is no going back! My tastebuds as well as my mindset have changed too much and I can see and feel the benefits of this lifestyle. ❤️
Love all your videos! Always so educational! What works for me is intermittent fasting and mostly keto. My metabolism is slow so I only eat once a day 5/6 times a week. Four months into it and I'm down 40 pounds. Still have 60 more to go. Its no longer a diet but like you say, a life style change. What really turn me around was understanding what insulin and fasting does to the body.
Good morning Kia Chang,
How are you doing today?
Very interesting explanation. This does not address habitual eating, which is why a lot of people are overweight. (me!) You can be "not really hungry" but you eat "because it's lunch time," or "dinner time," or "TV watching time." This psychological hunger can be as addictive as drugs!
Thank you so much for this information. My wife and I started the keto diet a little over two weeks ago. I am diabetic, she is not. My daily blood sugars have dropped dramatically from an average of 180 or so to less than 90 everyday. In fact yesterday I had a low sugar issue with a BG of around 50. I was shaking and seemed very week. So today I am reducing my insulin injection. I have lost about ten pounds since we started. I have reached out to my endocrinologist for guidance but I have not yet received a response. Thank you for sharing this information.
That’s wonderful!
If your doctor does not respect you enough to give you a response in a timely fashion -get yourself another doctor. Since you lost weight that mean that your body composition has changed -you have to adjust your dose and your doctor should help you with that- the best to you😎
Thanks Dr. Ekberg i have been watching your videos for a while and I changed my lifestyle and I'm intermittent fasting for 5 days a week and not fasting during the weekend. I have been doing this for two month and i lost 15 pounds with ease. Now I'm trying to stop eating junk food but it's not that easy . I stopped drinking any type of sugar drink i try to drink only water. Sometimes i drink beer when I'm out with friends.I'm doing little changes every week so i don't overwhelm myself.I think in the next few month i will have a healthier diet by doing little changes and not doing everything at once. I think doing little changes every week or month is better than changing your diet completely since day 1. Remember it's a marathon not a race :)
Just watched some pictures of fatty livers. This is the best motivation for me to avoid drinking beer and eating junk food.
I did this 7 years ago, I can tell you it 100% works wonderfully!
That was very comprehensive! The executive summary is clean keto with IF. You're welcome.
Believe in that also and add clean eating
@@matsblad1197 Yes, clean keto is clean eating.
I learned this from a hairdresser,,,
What is IF?
@@kingrinek3174 not eating,,,
I hit a plateau after 30 lbs. Thank you for your easy to understand explanation on what I can do to resolve this issue. IF, here we go.
Your videos with the information has changed my eating habits. I was totally against Keto lifestyle and decided it was not for me. After watching your videos where you explain things in a way I can understand, I decided to give it a try. It has been little over two weeks since I went on a Keto diet and I feel much better, I do not have cravings, I have noticed I am skipping meals and not snacking. I appreciate you doing these videos as I am sure they have helped more than just myself.
Can you speak about the hormonal changes women go through after 40 and how that affects weight gain? And if the keto diet works the same for those women as women who are not going through hormonal changes.
Keto works for me but I also do fasting and intermittent fasting. Age 72 and perfectly healthy.
Worked for me. First couple weeks tough so make sure you’re getting salt and vitamins. I’ve been on a year.
If you have hormonal problems, then you must definitely think about food intolerances... do you eat dairy? Do you eat wheat 🌾 ?
I loved all the previous belly fat videos, and am so pumped to watch this one! Thanks for all your work, Dr. Ekberg, I've lost about 5 kilos since I started keto/intermittent about 3 weeks ago. It's changed my life and I thought I was a HARD CASE -- no, I just didn't have access to this information on how the body works! Thank you so much!
Thank you Hard Case for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you are seeing results. I love your comment "I just didn't have access to this information on how the body works!" Keep it up! 😄
Thank you so much for your clear and understandable videos! Video after video is teaching me a little more about how I can lose weight and be healthier in the long term. I love that you are not selling any products (well, I haven't seen anything like it anyway), because that makes me feel like you really care about peoples health and it is not about filling your pockets ! Thank you for making this available to everyone, especiall those that cannot afford to spend money on memberships etc. I really appreciate all you do for anyone that is interested !
I like the style of explaining your points, colorful, clear, precise and well organized. Excellent presentation!
Will you do a presentation on Spices and their therapeutic effects on the body? How do they interact with the body? Cinnamon for Blood Sugar control, Turmeric anti-inflammation, Cumin for Tinnitus(?not sure)
I'm so proud to be a part of this wonderful community.
A calorie is not just a calorie! 🤯! I tried to explain this to my son by saying if I get 1000 calories of just veggies vs 1000 calorie of carbs and sugars, they are not the same. So telling someone to cut back on calories is not the answer. He says no one eats 1000 calories of veggies….totally missed the point!🙄. Love your videos.
Remind them we are not a mechanical machine. But a biological one controlled by hormones. Peace.
No one eats 100 cals of veggies? That's not much sweet potato at all, and even one bag of romaine has 60 cals. I add a huge handful of power greens and I'm almost there. I have a box of mushrooms and a large onion with my egg scramble, or eat a can of black olives...pretty sure I hit it quite easily every day! Do we get to add fruits like avocado and blueberries...eat those pretty much daily, too. Once u get off the pasta, rice, bread thing, u eat a lot of veggies. I can't eat much more meat than about 5oz...it's very filling!
Doc, your explanation is by far the best on the internet... your tempo and measured speaking is well understood. You've earned my subscription, keep the great info coming. I will be taking this one day at a time and will WIN! Thank you.
Thank You Dr. Sten Ekberg For All Your Helpful Videos.
Sunt fericita cand gasesc postarile dumneavoastră care pot fi traduse in limba româna , Multumesc!
Best person on RUclips to explain anything. Thanks
Great timing. Thanks Doc. I started Keto early last year and lost about 17 kilos by end of 2020 (went from 110.5kg to a very stubborn plateau at 93-94kg at the lowest point) with only moderate exercise. Then just before Xmas started back on the old way of eating (I used Xmas as an excuse to eat what I wanted) and since then gained back 10 of those kilos in pretty quick time. I feel quite ashamed of myself that I let it slip so badly, but at least I finally realised that this has to be a non-negotiable lifestyle each and every day. For me there can be no "Oh to heck with it, I'll eat pizza tonight", or "I'll grab a quick bowl of pasta" because I always found it quite difficult to get back on track after cheat days, and especially cheat weekends.
The really great thing about Keto, was that while I was on it I had zero desire for junk like chips, sweets, ice creams, etc .... and hardly ever ate any. I didn't want or need them. Anyway, I plan to start again next week and do Intermittent Fasting with Keto meal plans during the eating window. Keto worked for me and so did IF, so a combination should be great.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I do understand your pain because I have been in your shoes. Its the curse of the genetics and we have to give ourselves some grace and do the best we can. At the end of the day counting calories, exercising, doing keto day in day out is all exhausting making one feel cheated when you see how certain people can eat everything under the sun and never gain weight and have the best blood reports and there's others like you and I who toil away with each ounce of our willpower yet results do'nt come easy. Be kind to yourself.....stress and obsession does not help
What kind of exercise do you do
I don’t think keto is sustainable long term
I agree since starting LCHF I no longer crave sweets or chips...I actually crave things like Steak, Fish ,Green beans, Spinach and God forbid salads!
Hi Dr could you do a video on how to avoid constipation on a low carb diet? This would be so helpful. Thank you. I enjoy your videos and find them very helpful.
Just very good communication of a complex subject. I appreciate your skill and thoughtfulness.
Il dott. Marco Berrino in Italia afferma esattamente le stesse cose, per gli italiani, seguitelo se vi interessa capire e capirvi. Bravo dott.Ekberg, se solo le persone spendessero un decimo del loro tempo passato a guardare tiktok guardando lei, in milioni vivrebbero forse qualche anno in più. Sembra poco? I miei complimenti doc.👍
Il dott. Berrino è un mito, purtroppo anche nel nostro paese è difficile sradicare decenni di false convinzioni alimentari supportate da famosi dietologi che sono più personaggi televisivi che medici. Seguendo Berrino ed Ekberg sono riuscita a recuperare la forma perduta, curare malattie autoimmuni e liberarmi dalla schiavitù delle pillole per la pressione. Mi sento ringiovanita di un decennio, mai stata meglio in vita mia. Il regime keto omad ha fatto miracoli per me! 👍
greetings from Ethiopia! many thanks for your life saving, priceless lessons! Long liveDr.!❤❤
Good morning Addis today in Ethiopia. 😄
Keep spreading this message. There is a wall that goes up when I try to teach this to my my parents. Hopefully, one day thanks to people like you people will adopt and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Keep doing your thing Doctor!
😎✊
I admire your patience to reiterate these principles time to time for us! Over the last year I learned a lot from you and adopted your advice. My life is changed because of it. Forever grateful for your dedication!
Thank you Frankston Safranek. 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. 😄
@@drekberg two words 'Jason Fung'.. Or 'Siim Land'.. They have explained this at length and in great detail here on RUclips and on their social media
I love to listen to this Doctor ..
He speaks clearly and he explains everything .. easy to understand and are factual ..
His lecture is scientific yet he make it easy to understand
we need to clone this man...... he is helping so many people including myself
I’m thin all around with a bloated belly at the end of the day. I look like I’m 3 months pregnant. I started IF and keto about a month now because my a1c and cholesterol was high. After a few weeks my stomach is flat and I feel great!
How did you get the stomach flat,, I've been doing keto if and Paleo off and on for about a year and I still look the same,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex what's your daily macros?
I would like to know too what you did? What do you mean by "IF"?
@@KnicksNYanks84 too much,,, obviously,,
@@NamiWonderful intermittent fasting,,,
Keto and IF has been working great for me. I didn't think I would go on for this long, but why stop when I'm feeling better than ever?
It is easy. Isn't it?😄
@@pia9968 should help if you add fermented vegetables, fermented dairies and more fibers, from vegetables especially in form of cooked cabbage, if you like the taste, from whole grains (i think rice, millet, buckwheat? not wheat), seeds, nuts and roots. Avoid those high in easy to digest carbs though.
Agree. It's life changing and life saver. Keto and IF..
@@pia9968 a little extra Coconut oil or butter does it for me.
@@BlueAngeluv who says that and what proof backs him/her?
Ok, I read something into it and they blame keto died because it raises LDL levels and LDL is "linked" with high heart disease risk. If you followed dr.Sten more, you might already know what LDL actually do and between it and heart disease it's a correlation not causation effect, LDL level being increased by metabolic syndrome. it's like saying increased police activity in a city dominated by gangs is the cause of all shootings or firefighter activity causes fires.
Every day is a school day, very informative 👌Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
A good doctor and life saver
When someone uses professional terms from a certain profession in their presentation, then it is the language of ignorance, not the language of knowledge. Fortunately for us, that is not the case here, and I am very happy to have a teacher like this! 👍
Dr Ekberg, each of your videos presents an important topic detrimental to our overall health. I personally know the amount of time you need to invest in doing research to finding the best and most truthful information in regards to what is best for our health, and to filter out all the misinformation before presenting it to your viewers. Luckily, we can also count of your many years of experience and knowledge in holistic healthcare. Once again, thank you 😊
Thank you Claire. As always, I appreciate your feedback.😄
Friendly reminder that you can't target fat loss. So don't get discouraged if the belly is being stubborn, it will come off at some point!
Wow. Ty for this. It motivated me to have self discipline and to not give myself credit
Oh crumbs l hope so, lm one of those few that have an awful metabolism, no added carbs at all. I did it once before Christmas but the 12 lbs l put on, l can't shift, it's as though l have a boulder in my stomach. Arrh 🙁😕
@@marianking1379 stubborn fat is most likely visceral fat. Do fasted cardio to help reduce it.
I have excess fat in tummy area, so when I fast thankfully it’s the first to go.
This helped me understand why it's been so hard for me to lose weight and keep it off! Thank you! ❤
Don't eat carbs , processed foods & sugar. Eat grass fed meats & organic , non GMO foods. It's that simple.
@@Utubedeletescomments been doing that and still struggle 🤷🏾♀️
@@miatamar fast ... Start eating at 1pm & don't eat after 7ish,, o & exercise
I eat real foods and exercise, it really works. Its not dieting its about healthy diets
Hands down the best expression of belly fat, EVER. I have always wanted to know the WHY.
Wow, only a few years ago we would have had to pay 100's of $ to get this stunning advice!!! Thank you so much, as you point out, with just a bit of willpower the beer belly can be vanquished for good.
Thank you for another straight forward video. Doing something for a while has never worked for weight loss for most of us. Getting healthy is the key to weight loss for good.
Clean keto with intermittent fasting. Truly the best combo. I'm still doing clean keto, but been lax with the IF lately. Reached my weight loss goal (103kg to 83kg)
How long did it take you to lose 20kg?

Sorry boss, sub titles are not in sync, I have already commented, this is problem, you are great in explaining the subject
I had been watching a lot of your videos and thank you. Last Wednesday (8/25/ l started the 16 hour fasting and on Thursday l started the 24 fasting. I am Polynesian and we are plegue with high blood pressure etc due to the high starchy and fatty food we eat. I haven't got any of our typical plague and lm not planning on it. I try to watch what l eat and l will do a 24 hours fasting for a week and see how it goes. So far so good. Goin 18 hours as you are doin sounds good after l get to my targeted weight of 190 pounds. It's a long way there cos l am 252.2 pounds when l weigh last Wednesday. I am 5'-10" and I gained those weight since 2005. I am determined to reach my goal of 190 pounds after watching your videos. It's goin to be a life style and thank you!
How is it going? Do you have any tips
Love your videos. I have tried FASTING before but likely tried to do it too much and failed. I really like the 18/6 regiment but have been stretching it to 21/3 regiment and can easily make it through the day. Also, am trying a month long hiatus on bread. My biggest downfall before. That is really tough.
Regimen
I started LCHF and OMAD a couple of days ago, and I am surprised how easy it is to go the rest of the day through the night and up till the next day on that one meal at around 2 - 3 pm.
with a caveat: blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose may rise in normal weight people, compared to three meals per day
I've recently discovered your channel & love the incredible information you provide. Truly exceptional.
My question (and appeal to you) is what on earth happens when you've had medication (medium or long term) and you gain weight that simply does not shift? You end up bloated, pudgy and this weight does not behave like other weight gain. It's driving me crazy. I fully realise you're not my personal trainer, but there are a LOT of people like me, that are bewildered & getting nowhere after meds. I was the same weight -more or less- from 14y/o to 47y/o, I hovered around 54 kilograms +/- 2kgs. Now I'm almost 80kgs!!!!! Many people are even worse.
Re Keto: Sadly, I've NEVER been able to eat protein making a keto diet pretty much impossible. It makes me really unwell, tired, migrainous, and also causes significant pain for many days. I changed to a plant based diet in my mid teens and that was a massive improvement. When people end up with ME-CFS (+migraine & headache, fibromyalgia, ibs {fodmap], mcs {including multiple food sensitivities which seems to be incredibly common for this condition} ) and there are now many thousands of people who are going through long covid & will end up with ME-CFS, protein becomes undigestible & eating the kind of foods that form keto diets become close to impossible. Many, like me, simply cannot eat the amount of food required on keto diets. If you have the time & inclination Dr Ekberg, there are a LOT of us out here that can't do keto, and/or because of illness, our challenges are so much greater than people who are without an illness (you don't know how lucky you are - profoundly lucky). It would make for a very helpful video & guidelines which are sadly lacking. Doctors don't have a clue & neither do most nutritionists & dietitians. Crazy, but true.
Thanks again, for your prolific & exceptional content
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. Friday is my favorite day of the week because I know I’m going to learn something new about nutrition that is going to make me healthier. Your videos are the perfect combination of practical information coupled with sound science based explanations. One of the most informative and useful health channels on RUclips.
I was diagnosed as being hypoglycaemic in my teens when I kept passing out, feeling faint and wobbly. My doctor told me to always carry a Mars chocolate bar to have a shot of glucose if I started to feel faint. Now I'm nearly 60 and the pounds have piled on for the last 25 years or so and even intermittent fasting hasn't helped - because the apparently naturally higher insulin levels are preventing me accessing the stored fat. I'm looking forward to trying these new ideas to see if I can finally lose the excess weight. If only YOU had been my doctor all those years ago!!
I always did intermittent fasting when I was young...my mother called it “starving myself.” I didn’t have a term for I.F., and called it, “not eating past 6pm.” I used to make my poor mum crazy. She always insisted I was starving myself. I just didn’t feel well if I ate late in the day.
I think the concern especially with young people is that it could potential turn into an eating disorder. I think the key is paying attention to the behaviors of how they are fasting and noticing if it turns into a problem.
Pia you were a smart young cookie...love the name pia too
