Thank you! Wonderful! As an analogy, we should treat carbs as fuel and the body as a machine. The latter needs maintenance like with any machine and part of the process of maintenance require proteins and the various forms of fats. Hope this make sense. God bless you all!!!
Fruitarians are usually really skinny some anorexic looking no muscles think thats a result of all that sugar hardly any protein ignorant to think thats a good idea
My brother actually went for 30 days consuming nothing but Beer. I have to say his life improved greatly. He was able to get rid of his wife AND his job and fish all day.
I went 60 days fruit only and I’m no type 2 diabetic and lost 21lbs mostly fat. The whole fruit thing is a misconception based on sugar. It’s definitely not the same as eat processed foods with sugar.
Not medical advise from myself nor am I discounting anything the good doctor is saying but I personally know someone went on a strict ' fruit cleanse' to deal with a health issue for 30 days. They did grapes, bananas, apples and lots of watermelon. By the end of the time they lost about 15lbs, had skin looked like a newborn baby and to this day the health issue is gone. That was about 3 yrs ago.
All I know is my brother went on a 80% fruit/20% vegetables diet for 90 days. He ate nothing but mostly fruit and some vegetables for three months, and his A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.9, his fasting blood sugar was 86, and he lost 26 pounds.
But how bad was his diet, body shape/ weight, when he started it? Because if you're fat with a bad diet then switching to just veggies of course that will help ... 😉
I don't think that just 80% fruits an rest veggies will work for someone who's already eating healthy 🤔 that's what the doctor is saying. But of course if you eat bad and are obese and switch to fruits it will help ... More data is needed
My triglyceride is 455. I eat very little processed sugar but I eat a lot of fruits. This video solved the mystery of my elevated triglyceride number. Thank you! Your videos are superb and informative. You are by far my favorite source of health and nutrition information. 🙏🏽
@@CHANNELJD stop carbs. high trig. mostly come from too much carbs. the liver is converting excess sugar to fat (triglyc.) and that can clog up capabilities of liver over time and buildup high trig. levels. also fructose or HFCS (fructose syrup) does this even faster.
I'm pretty sure your triglycerides are not from the fruits. You should look into what else you are eating in addition to the fruits and the combination of those foods. Perhaps if you ate only fruit and nothing else
I follow the LCHF lifestyle...lost weight, kidney function reversed from stage 3 back to stage 1, high cholesterol back to normal, my brain fog lifted and I have much more energy.
"Everyone is different".... I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 1.5 years ago. My A1c was 7.5 and blood sugar was around 165, peaking around 200. Since then I have been following Dr Ekberg and trying to control sugar and carb intake and have been largely successful (except for Christmas... ouch). My A1c was down to 6.2 and my sugar was consistently around 115. What I have found out though is that as my sugar approaches 100 I start to get sick. My doctor doesn't seem to have an explanation for it but I have to stay around 110 in order to not feel sick, shaky and sweating. Even at that number though I seem to be doing very well and feeling great. Oh and I lost 30 lbs too... thanks Dr Ekberg!
It can take a *long* time to get down to healthier normal blood sugar levels without feeling sick. Keep trying gently to stay lower carb and as your body heals and adjusts it may come around. It does not happen in a few short months of only a year and a half when you may well have been diabetic for a decade or more before diagnosis. You are doing great!
Not that long ago, breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Now you better skip it. Not that long ago, fat was the worse thing to eat and sugar wasn't that bad, now it's quite the opposite. Not that long ago, cereals where the foundation of the pyramid, now cereals are real bad. Not that long ago, milk was very healhty, not anymore. Not that long ago, eggs were a no-no, too much cholesterol. Now are among the healthiest things you can eat. Not that long ago, fruit was very healthy, now turns out fruit is unhealthy. As time goes by, is becoming increasingly hard to believe any diet advice... let's see what they say in ten years.
My grand parents ate a LCHF diet their entire life on both sides of my family. All lived either to upper 80’s or mid 90’s and were super healthy and thin. LCHF diets is the healthy diet.
Listen to your body and take in a large variety of different foods as fresh an organic as can be and that's about the best thing you can do for yourself except believe your eating the right way... oh and don't eat unless hour hungry. Simples 😁
@@annarborhome6042 In 10 more days maybe sooner you will feel like a totally new person…. Almost like your 18 again….all alignments if any will be gone….. …. Don’t go back take my word the last 7 days ive been back to my old eating habits & feel terrible…. Back to headaches & feeling tired throughout the day even with a full nights rest
@@stafonvoncamron for some people high raw sugar fruits don't matter due to genetics. fruit only diet for short time can lose pound faster than 6x time in gym.
i think what im learning from everyone's comments is that different bodies sometimes need different things. If it works for you great. If it doesn't , then try something else.
I went on all fruit diet for a month it was very difficult but I heard it would cure my interstitial cystitis which caused dreadful pain and I was having to go to toilet every five minutes, within twenty four hours my bladder improved which encouraged me to stay on the diet I then added vegetables then cooked vegetables within two months my bladder was seventy five % better plus I lost two stones in weight. I then started to add normal food, my bladder is now 90% better I hope this helps people who suffer with interestial cystitis to give it a try for 48 hours.
The success you achieved could have very well been due to what you WEREN'T eating, grains, toxic vegetable oils, processed foods, added sugars, as it was really an elimination diet. Even so, glad you were able to heal yourself. 💛
@@missygee6155 you could very well be correct but after suffering about five years the hospital couldn't help and I was sent to a London hospital which tried various tablets and treatments and suggested Botox but I did some research and found the Fruit diet which changed my life for the better. I have returned to eating normally for the past five years and I am still ok, I just hope anyone suffering such excruciating pain as myself could try the fruit diet for 48 hours to see if it helps. I noticed the difference in 24 hours!
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I'd be curious to see if going without the seed oils, grains, & excessive sugars would've had the same positive effect? I know my inflammatory markers plummeted when I went to the keto way of eating.
@@luvfunstuff2 I really don't know, I have not taken suger since I was a very small child I am a savoury person I don't care for sweet things, I use mostly butter for cooking or frying and only use olive oil for salads but no oils for frying. I only recommend fruit for 48 hours to see if symptoms improve , if they do then continue, it's a very difficult diet but I found my pain got less and less so personally it was beneficial to me but not everyone is the same.
ruit wants to be eaten. Beware! It is nature's own junk food. It has no interest in giving you a healthy meal. It just wants you to spread its seeds. It lures you in with sugar. If you want to know about how fruit makes you FAT, read Richard Johnson's book "Nature wants us to be Fat".
Fructose and glucose actually produce much more reactive oxygen species and require more ATP than burning Ketones which burn much cleaner and inhibit nlrp3 inflammasome whereas fructose is definitely inflammatory People don't listen well he said 8.8 pounds was needed a day, and nobody eats that much they starve themselves, which always results in weight loss which is normally always a good thing
what if you dont eat something lets say u fast instead of eating fries or rice...whats harmful would u think? eating that staff or not eating it at all...?it is what we eat what be become!!!!!
Its def about what you eat too not just when you eat it There is no moment for me to should be eating a cake I know many people say after training you need glycose and stuff, but id rather eat an apple after training and a few potatos later after training, than a cake
I drank Mean Green juice from fat sick and nearly dead which is mostly veggies 3 times a day about 48 ozs a day. for about 3 or 4 months . I never felt hungry, lost 20 lbs and fixed some lower leg vein issues and also fixed my swoilen prostrate . i loved it. I was about 60 at the time, The only fruit in it was apples.
Processed sugar is not the same as whole food sugar, maybe molecularly, but the effect of absorption makes a very significant difference. It's the little things. Vegan, keto, fruigivore... to each his or her own. Live long and prosper.
Ten months, ten stone lost, didn't think it was possible, these videos have been life changing. It did take me a long time to understand that fruit wasn't the be all and end all. I still have a weekly treat of cream, blueberries, raspberries and macadamias.
@@1welshdevil I'm glad that you kept going. I lost more than six stone. I regained some weight, but I'm restricting my calories again to plant based foods.
@@Prodigious1One that's so much, I think the calorie deficit is the important bit. There were times when I wanted to quit, three months of feeling so ill, took a long time to adjust. Good on you too, it's hard.
@@1welshdevil you're right. It takes a lot of determination and you have to let yourself eat what you want sometimes so you don't feel completely deprived. Then you go back to the diet the next day or week.
As I learn earlier fruits is 100% fructose and it directly enter liver. I take small quantity of berries. Thanks for another informative video. God blessed.
All fruits average more or less a sugar content of 50% fructose and 50% glucose (the sucrose in fruits metabolize down to fructose, so the averages come out 50/50 fructose/glucose in the end). Including berries.
Somewhere I read that berries, and perhaps other fruit plants, pull nutrients from the soil in the last few hours of ripening, and deposit those nutrients in the fruit. Point being, the stuff in the stores that was picked early and "ripened" on its way to the store, won't have the minerals and whatever else, that the naturally-ripened fruit would have.
Dr. Sten how about "What if you only ate chicken for 30 days" or "What if you only ate pork for 30 days". Why pick on fruits. I believe that fruit is part of a balanced healthy diet. I have been eating a bowl of local tropical fruits every morning for over thirty years as part of a whole food plant-based way of eating. Along with daily physical activity, I have maintained a high level of energy, I have no health issues, and my weight has remained consistent. There is no need to avoid fruits
Couldn't be a better day for me not to be able to sleep. You are part of the joy in my Friday. When ever I need to calm myself or go to a happy place you are one of the faces, voices and personality that I think of. All the best to you and yours Sten.
@@drekberg Hey dr Sten, your videos are so informative as others have pointed out and you are such a pleasant personality and such a good serious teacher, but this appearance is spoiled by first image of your videos in which your editor ( I don't know who that is) acts like a child and sometimes portrays you as a buffon with eggs instead your eyes and broccoli as your hair. This is not what you are, you are a serious decent teacher and inside the videos are valuable information I have no idea of until I watched you. Cheers !
@@interstellarkid5122 I think the broccoli hair was hilarious. Also, youtubers have learned that those kind of images gets the most views, hence they get their message more out there.
I am a Danish blacksmith 66 yrs. old 176cm. height. I started out 1. of October last year weighing in at 102Kg's. Went on (very) strict keto diet, which I am still on at this point. My weight today says 76Kg. I have not felt hungry during this period even though I eat very little, and I have experienced great mental clarity overall, and I feel like I have more energy now, than I have had over the last decade of letting myself go. I have added D-vitamin, small amounts of electric trace minerals and sparingly raw apple vinegar cider every day. I have (re-)started working out, lifting weights and treadmilling, and lately adjusted my eating toward more protein and less fat as I am now fully keto adapted. Your (and Ninja Nerd's) videos are among my most treasured and I cannot thank you enough for the work you do. Tusind tak Sten til dig og dine og masser af kærlighed fra Danmark.
Good job dude 30 kilos wow Do you think this worked so fell becuz you had a lot of fat to metabolize ? Do you think when youre leaned out this will still work and give you energy or eill you keep on metabolizing yourself?
@@backbone93 Hi there bb I'm gunning for flexible metabolism going forward. I believe it worked because I stuck with strict Keto and just enuff fat to keep my body from eating all my muscles ;-) I will focus on loosening all my tight joints, building sum muscle mass, get to around 70Kg's and eat sparingly and healthy. Thank you for asking.
I did it as an experiment. Fruitarian for February in 2018. Lost 26.5 lbs in 28 days. Seemed great on the scale. But my strength took a huge dive! My absolute strength (weights) tanked: bench press reduced from 250# to 185# (3 rep max). What was surprising was the loss in relative strength (bodyweight): Pull-ups reduced from 21 reps to 13. I thought that my pull-ups would not change since I lost so much weight. But that was not the case. Even worse, it took about 5 months to regain the strength I lost in 1 month. It was a good experiment, but won’t do that again.
I ate grapes and watermelon only for 30 days and lost 25 pounds. My blood pressure went from 145/105 to 120/70. I went from sleeping 8 to 9 hours a day and waking up tired to sleeping 6 hours a day and waking up energized. I understand that Dr. Ekberg pushes low carb, but it is amazing all these health experts plans work. Low carb, vegan (healthy), meat only, etc. all seem to work. The only difference I see in all of them is that keep you off the processed junk food.
@@RC-ld3cn - you know, that is an interesting point. I had very similar results as you when I started this journey (clean keto + IF). The first month it was like the weight just fell off. Makes me wonder how these various diets would work on people like us who have already lost that "easy" (initial) weight. My plan is to stick to clean keto with fasting, and maybe even carnivore for a while. The sugar and carb addictions keep clawing back, so I can't risk feeding them with fruit.
I remember that my strength reduced slightly until about the 10-day mark when it took a dive from there, so it might be a good weight-loss strategy if done for about 3-5 days. Not nutritional or fitness advice, of course. Just personal observation. I am a little keto these days (60F/30P/10C) where my carbs are mainly from apples/dates/blueberries (my three favorites in a bowl with cinnamon, cacao powder and whole milk/cream). Have a blessed day!
I was eating fruits as my primary source of carbs but not only fruit and I felt great. So what I did was that fruit was my only source of carbs and then I got my fat and proteins from eggs, fish, and nuts. The fruit also included avocado. And I felt great
I did this for 3 months and felt awesome. I had mostly fruit, but also allowed eggs& dairy (no fish though). Lots of the not sweet fruits like avacado, squash, peppers, etc. Been planning to do it again because I felt so good.
I´m a diabetic type 1 for 24 years, since I was 12 yeas old. The last 3 years I´m on a journey trying to improve my health and possibly even get rid of the disease, even though I´m aware that the official narrative is that my pancreas will never produce insulin again. 2 years ago I decided to eat only fruits, including avocados which I love. The first 3 months were awesome. I had a lot of energy, I even lifted weights. I was not hungry all the time, but I have to admit that the avocados were helping in that regard! My insulin intake was dramatically reduced and there were a few times that I ate without even having to shoot insulin, which had never happened to me since I was diagnosed. I did not gain weight, quite the contrary I lost a lot of weight. I went from 70 kg to 51 kg. My height is 1.75. In fact I was losing so much weight that I stopped lifting on the 4th month and eventually I was finding it hard to even carry the grocery. I had lost a lot of fat but also a lot of muscle. And that was the reason I stopped the fruit diet. I just needed to gain weight and I needed a warm meal during winter. I recently started vegetarian keto, eating veggies, eggs and cheese and so far I have similar blood sugar levels as when I was eating only fruits. But the difference is that on keto my blood sugar spikes much less. So,from my experience, fruits are not like soda. Fruits do not promote fat storage, at least they didn´t for me. Plus, my blood glucose was on good levels. The only problem for me with the fruitarian lifestyle is that it´s not sustainable long term. I´ll see how it will go with keto.
I am 73, lost 45 pounds and lowered my blood sugar by following your video’s, i have watched all of your posts since I started watching in 2018. My question is, what about the Ads we see on TV touting that “red and Green” bottle that gives you all your fruits and veggies in a few capsules. What do you think?
Just by eating the rice diet with a lot of fruit I got rid of my insulin resistance and my blood sugar levels got perfect. I ate 2300 kcal per day, Desk job. I felt great. My blood work is very good. No weight loss or gain for 6 months that I did the diet.
I used to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, something just fruit for a meal, now at 52 years old, I am prediabetes, then last year I start keto diet and my glucose is normal now and I eat berries one time a week only.
Did you happen to have consumed any of these items in more than moderate quantities regularly or daily (a) refined oils (b) dairy (c) other animal products (d) processed foods?
Theory is often remarkably different from the results in practice; in practice, the more fruit people eat, the more weight they lose, the lower blood pressure and, over time, better blood sugar control they achieve. This has been borne out in numerous long-term population studies.
Seasonal and "pieces" is OK. Especially if you have it instead of cake or other deserts. And fresh fruit is better than dried fruit, like Raisins. It's also better than jam or marmelade, It always depends what one is comparing with.
I love your videos. Just wanted to add that in remote places (north Canada) frozen vegetable and sometimes fruits are better than fresh one because frozen vegetables are frozen right after harvest but fresh ones spend month in refrigerator and will lose a lot of its quality. What is your opinion on that?
I started eating 55% fat, 20% protein and 25% carbs about a year ago. I am currently 30lbs less then where I started and feel so much better! I also no longer eat table sugar and eat mostly made from scratch foods.
Thank you. I tried the fruit and vegetable juicing. Definitely not the best decision. I noticed immediately that my blood sugar was off. For me, juicing in the morning for a day or two was ok. However, any more than 3 days spikes my blood sugar and messes with my kidneys.
I like the idea of eating seasonal fruit. I tend to do this naturally anyway since fruit seems to taste much better in its natural season. I was wondering if vegetables were the same way, and if they should be eaten during their season or if they were fine to eat during all times of the year.
Japanese used to do this for millennial, eat seasonal vegetables, eat almost no sugar, and processed foods, walk alot. Natural is best and they have proven it. Ofc like all other western countries now fruits and processed foods has entered their food chain, as well as vegetable oil (highly processed), and it is raising their obesity.
I love seasonal vegies and fruit and I try to buy from local organic farmers as much as possible. Even organic from different countries do not taste as good as local.
Excellent presentation, just want to add that no fruit we currently eat is really natural. Most fruit has been bred to produce larger and a sweeter varieties. Primitive pre-cultured fruits were much less sweet, often tart, so would have contained a higher percentage of fat and protein. The other issue of fructose is it has been shown to drive CAD.
Fruit is fruit-organic or not. Seasonal or not. And I love fruit as much as the next person. But I'm a chemist. Sugar is sugar is sugar. It doesn't matter what the source is. I love peaches, cherries, oranges and dried figs. I could eat all these all day. If it was good for you I would. I am a 30gram a day low carber and do eat some of these things once in a while. I just don't want to go off the reservation so am very careful.
@@pillsberour closest cousin in the animal kingdom, chimps eat almost nothing but fruit year round and they are just fine. We only started eating less fruit because we left the forests and fruit trees and needed to hunt more
@@andrewfetterolf7042 God, who created all things made man able to eat many things but it does not mean we should abuse our bodies. We are not cousins with chimps and I hope you don't think you are.
Thanks for putting this up. I have decided to give up fruit. I had no idea, thought eating loads of fruit was fine. Everything you said made a lot of sense. Often eat 3 apples, 2 pears, and a banana, just watching Television, thinking it's all healthy. What a load of crap. Thanks again, Dr. Ekberg.
No matter what you eat, there's always going to be a drawback. Fruits need to be eaten not in a binge sort of way, but they do contain nutrients and vitamins. Moderation is important.
Nobody gets fat from eating too much fruit....but the same can't be said about drinking too much soda. I live at Lat.15 where fruit is low hanging all year round. YUM!!
I am a partial fruitarian and ften go for days eating fruits only, it helps me lose weight and clear my system. At 66 I am doing just fine. Unfortunately there has been a witchhunt on fruit by the keto diet industry in the past few years.
Knowing your body and what works for it is key. My body flourishes on fruits and veggies, nothing processed, as I’m pretty active. I tried LCHF and it clogged my system leading to weight gain. I’m in an eat to cleanse not to clog lifestyle.
Im now 65, At one point in my early 50's, I accidentally became a fruitarian for an entire summer. I had no intention to do so when i started eating just fruit. There was an abundance of fabulous delicious fruits of many kinds in the stores and i just naturally gravitated to it. Cantalopes, watermelon,oranges, grapefruits, strawberrries, peaches, plums, pears, figs, pineapple,mangos, kiwi,bananas, grapes,starfruit raspberries,,,oh my ..the variety was so enticing. There were other types too. I didnt notice any bad feelings or mood changes, But I did eat very often. By the end of summer, I had gained 15 pounds. I was astonished that i had gained so much weight eating "healthy fruit " I had not thought this at the time,.but i was getting summer fat in prep for winter starvation...just like our ancestors did naturally. Our modern Winter food supply is now stable, and we do not need to do this ! i found that it was especially difficult trying to loose that fruit weight. I still love fruit..but im lucky that in the Keto diet, i can still enjoy my personal favorite fruits..raspberries and strawberries. The other kinds are " treats" now and I have a piece maybe once a month. Id rather have one perfect sun-ripened Peach than almost anything else in the world to eat. Thank you for making the body's mechanisms easy to understand.
@@poseidon3032 That's not 100% accurate. the liver converts excess glucose into glycogen (stored fat), then converts the stored glycogen back to glucose when the body needs extra fuel.
My husband and I have been keto for nearly 3 years and I am relatively fit now compared to where I was when I started my fitness journey 5½ years ago, but I still wouldn't go back to eating more carbs/fruit for exactly the reasons you mentioned, cravings and mood. I have seen a drastic improvement in my mood since starting keto. I strongly believe that my brain was inflamed when I was eating a SAD 😢 diet. After reading some of Dr. Daniel Amen's books, I also believe that I have ADD and have struggled with it all of my life. Keto and weightlifting really keep my symptoms in check.
@Dignity True I'm not sure where you are getting your information because I've never heard of such fears. No, keto doesn't cause women to lose their periods like veganism does. Keto rights hormonal imbalances caused by insulin resistance which results from the over consumption of carbs.
Everyone wants an “out” for their shortcomings. Start meditating and reading. Work on your focus and patience. ADD is one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on humanity. There was no ADD for hundreds of thousands of years and we did just fine. Its created by big pharma to make people drug addicts for life hooked on their drugs.
Simply cutting carbs and sugar out of my diet has been amazing. So many problems I had begun to experience as I aged are gone now. As long as I keep my caloric intake below/at 2000, and pay attention to the amounts of carbs/sugar I eat I can keep myself on track. Surprisingly switching to stevia has had the biggest effect on me as I use only one little packet in my coffee instead of the 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar I used to. Cutting out fruit juice and drinking water instead has been the other big change that made a huge difference. Thank you Sten, for showing that it doesn't have to be a huge, complicated process to get healthier, but simple changes that can make big differences.
100% monk fruit powder which is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar is a great product because it doesn't raise your blood sugars, it's 0 calories, is zero carbs, it's zero sugar but it's incredibly sweet. Lately I have been binging out at least a little bit anyway on choc zero products which are made with monk fruit extract
At 27:55 - Yep! That's me! Wanting to reverse my insulin resistance I did Keto and intermittent fasting for about 10 months (went from BMI 40 to 23) I adopted the LCHF lifestyle and developed a much more active lifestyle! (SUCCESS! Thanks Dr. Ekberg!!) Then this past holiday I figured that, after 2 years I've now got this "under control", so I allowed my self to "pig out", not only for a day or two, like I have been able to do in the past, but for the the whole holiday period! After 2 weeks I was always tired, hungry and gained a lot of weight! I thought it would be easy to just go back to my LCHF lifestyle and I would soon be back on track after the New Year! I WAS WRONG! Like an alcoholic I now struggled sticking to low carb, the cravings for carbs was intense, I was always hungry and 3 weeks later I was at BMI 30!! To get back on track I've now done 5 days strict Keto (OMAD) followed by a 48hr fast. Cravings are finally gone, my energy is back! I'm confident that I'm now finally back on track! It sure wasn't as easy as when I did this the first time!! I'm gonna stick to this until I'm back at BMI 23. Lesson learned! I'm not ever gonna allow myself to do that again!! LCHF is for me!
Yeah but life’s so much easier not having to worry about what to eat Just sit down n eat at an eatery or get together. Just go to store n buy whatever, easy food even. Just toast a bagel n be out the door in morning. Grab something while out with friends or running errands. Lchf takes up so much mind space n time. Unless I fast 22hrs a day. Then I don’t get to join in on the eating. America is all about socializing round food. So fasting just lets me say no I’m not eating at all but it’s NOT the same. Only my health issues make me continue eating so severely
True story, I lost 60 pounds in a year and kept it off for another year, went back to my old ways 6 months ago and gained back 40 pounds since. I had gotten rid of all my fat clothes vowing ever to go back, and ended up having to go buy new clothes since nothing fit me. I started back a week ago with IF and Keto, so far so good.
@@jeremyking3986 I can gain 10# in onnnnne week. Just did it few weeks ago. N I wasn’t super ketosis so it’s not just “water”. #oldwomen Be glad ur not a woman or old, both are death sentences for metabolisms. It’ll take a month of multiple day fasts weekly and strict OMADs to get it back off
Long term vegan here. I totally agree. Non starchy vegetables can be eaten in large amounts. 1-2 pieces of fruit should be enough for the day. Combining amino acids in the course of the day - from pulses/legumes and (pseudo)cereals, nuts and seeds - is important to get the right amount of all essential amino acids. Sweets and highly processed foods should be avoided as much as possible. And: Don‘t forget vitamin B12, vitamin D3, long chain fatty acids DHA/EPA.
"Non starchy vegetables can be eaten in large amounts. " If you're tolerant to oxalates. Many people aren't. You are one of the lucky minority able to thrive on a Vegan diet - good for you.
Seasonal fruits make sense to me. Even from a grocery. But I am going to do that 90 days raw plant based cleanse. Ill update with my health in March 2023.
Omg this makes so much sense. I used to eat so much fruit I kept feeling worse and worse. But I thought it was healthy. Now my digestion is better off that I dont really eat fruit. Except watermelon, I cant seem to get enough of it lol. I love it
I was a Fruitarian for 11 years. Didn't have any of those deficiencies, had more energy than I could use. Never had any cavities. The best health I've ever had! My health has not been the same since. Tried all the diets fruitarian is the best!
@John Does Yes, most of the people I've heard about that claim it only do it for a few weeks or months. A lot include vegetables even other foods. I was strict only eating fruit and nuts!
@@CeaSeMusic1 Fructose is metabolized by the exact same process as alcohol - by the liver - and driving this process hard causes saturation of the liver's capacity and leads to fat deposits within the liver - or fatty liver disease. Some people are able to process huge amounts of alcohol or fructose without any obvious deleterious effects to the liver - most people cannot.
I don't really eat fruits of vedgetables because almost all of it is covered in pesticides. But i do watch a lot of your content and find your style of presentation excellent.
@@blackbriarwolf5766 Animals like cows filter all the natural and man made pesticides. They are evolved to actually process pesticides very well. There are many studies that proove that meat doesn't contain any residual pesticides from their diet. As their metabolic system is evolved to process it out.
Fruit in limited amount is not prohibitive on low carb diet. I have been able to maintain my weight. I add some apple to my salad and berries. I also had some tropical seasonal fruit like mango. The KEY is keeping it strictly limited. If I eat berries one day, a different fruit another day. As long as it’s within 50gm of carb. It’s better eating a small fruit than junk. Also no matter what diet people eat, eating all day is not good. I have 2 meals. One meal is big salad with some EVoo and vinegar and some protein.
As an athlete I admire your past, as a wise health follower your present. Thank you for the clear messages you bring on. Nice to hear about 2 fruits a day, because that is the same I do. The Dutch nutrition center even advise that, 2 fruits and 2 ounces of veggies a day. And another general Dutch wisdom: too much of something will damage you.
Thank you for trying to help so many people with your knowledge. Can you possibly speak about Moringa? I've been eating it for about 9 months and I think it's helping.
I believe him cause my dog we were both vegetarian half of his life. But we ate too much organic fruits and a lot of pizza and pasta. He died from diabetes at 10 yo . It opened up my eyes on my diet that I though was perfect. I still am vegetarian but grammatical cut on fruits and carbs. I myself have chronic anemia. Thank u doctor for giving different perspective
As a nutritionist, I am SO THANKFUL for this video!! I now have a link for clients who refuse to hear me when I try to explain how fruit sugar can stall/reverse weightloss if not consumed approximately for their bodies. 💜
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for consisted on reminding all of us who loves fruit especially myself with pre diabetes conditions, I noticed if I reduced my fruits intake, and my AIC dropped from 6 to 5.4 and everything else looks great 👍 as well…. Thank you 🙏
Great lecture - thanks . Problem I have is one that a lot of people have . We have been pretty much hard wired on a sugary diet from a young age , and despite having fantastic results on low carb , I still need something sweet every day . It's my next goal to see if I can get over that . We are like opiate addicts trying to overcome our addiction but where opiates are easily available even in a local convenience store - sometimes labelled as ' healthy opiates ' ( with added vitamins) .
Your cravings for sugar comes from your mitochondria. If you stop eating carbs for at least 30 days you will change the signals to your brain from the mitochondria and your addiction will completely end. Trust me, Ive trained hundreds of people on keto and carnivore. And really after the first 5 days or so your cravings will go away. You will feel like crap for about 2 weeks But then you feel better than you ever felt In years It's tough but it will change your life. I'm strict carnivore 7 years now Zero health issues at almost 70.
@@duststorm7287 I appreciate your reply but I am pretty low carb already and a great fan / follower of both Dr Fung and Dr Ken Berry ( amongst others in the low carb community ) . I am a bit younger than you at 66 and take no meds and still work full time in a busy environment . Although I was raised on home cooking , like a lot of working-class people our diet was high carb with sugar on top . I think ' sweetness ' is also tied in with pleasure centres etc . Last Lent I gave up ( wholemeal ) bread and the results were so immediate and positive that I haven't eaten any bread and hardly any grains at all . Amazing as I was a high wholegrain vegetarian for years which made me fat and sick . This Lent I am going to concentrate on reducing/ getting rid of sweetness in my diet . At the moment that might just mean having one diet ( de caff ) soda a day .
@@michaeldillon3113 I'm just like you. Same age. I've been mostly carnivore for 2 years and still crave sweets. But instead of fighting it, now I just eat a little honey sometimes. My favorite meal is a huge hamburger with buffalo Camembert and a little honey on top! I'm more concerned about histamine and oxalate overload than sugar.
I tried this and actually put weight on. Been on keto 3months first time I Hav e lost weight for a long time down by about 1 and half stone , thank you for all your advice
In the mornings, I typically have oats, coffee, and bread. Lunch, about 3 to 4 servings of fruit. I'm finding that 4 may be too much. Dinner, salad or a regular meal, sometimes immediately followed by nuts or dark chocolate desert. Usually 70 % or darker. Any % less is becoming too sweet. I stopped much of the snacking between meals (it's usually about 11 hours between dinner and breakfast of no eating), the sodas, fast foods, and packed foods. A couple of meals include meat. I think we overload on the proteins. Just enough meat to maintain nutrition levels. I don't really drink much fruit juices. I drink herbal teas. Take various herb supplements. During the day I drink waters with added green and fruit powders, electrolytes, and coconut water. Coconut water is amazing with the energy boost. Usually plain water with the fruit. I've read that aloe juice can lower blood sugar and thinking that it might could temper blood sugar levels while eating fruit. With vegetables, I focus more on the hydrating ones like cucumbers, tomatoes, and celery. I can tell you that before I started on my health trend, my nerves were shot, I was congested all the time and many little health quirks have cleared up. I'm a long from where I want to be. It certainly is a journey. I eat to live, not live to eat. I have things to do. Hobbies as well. It was said, consider our closest relatives, the apes. How do they eat? Might give us an insight.
Hey great video!! Very informative and great visual. I've done all the different diets and tried vegan ,frugavore and now after trying many diets. I've found that holistic diet works best for me, red meat, eggs, raw cheese, and fruits
So very true with juice cleanse & fruit I’m carnivore / meat based but was having issues hitting a wall with severe de hydration & weakness . Feels like I’m just over loaded with fat . I’m going to re calibrate & start on the lowest fat ground beef & add blue berries in a few times a week & up my lemon water . See how that goes .
It was 2015 and I was having serious phlegm issues in my lungs. I followed Dr. Robert Morse and his lymph cleanse protocol. For 8 mo. I ate 80% fruit and 20% salads or 'junk' like enchalads, Ramen, burgers, BBQ chicken etc. My lungs cleared up, my Yoga practice improved. And my weight stayed around 120. It was a good go. Long time heavy fruit consumption will cleanse and rescue the lymph system. What can I say?
I think that fruit sugars are being labeled and treated the same way refined sugars are. I really doubt that sugars in an apple or strawberry would be as detrimental as sugar in an icecream or chocolate. I will juice roughly 10 strawberries, 2 apples and a handful of grapes with some ice and down the lot without the slightest sugar slump. Not even a hint. Nature has a way of metabolising these sugars since they are consumed with proportional quantities of fiber. I think a lot more research needs to be done.
First, let me say I appreciate your advice and consider it helpful … like the mark twain quote is applicable. For me, when it comes to my residual love handles and fatty liver, keto alone did not do it … and I started strictly 2 years ago 60 pounds over weight). Carnivore alone did not do it, started 1 year ago (20 pounds over weight). Mind you I have been on the same workout for a few years (biking, yoga) When I made my carbs a day only fruit (apples, blueberries), along with Kefir, in the summer of 2022 I started noticing amazing energy for workout and sleep and mental clarity. I also switched to one table spoon of honey in my coffee in the morning. I keep my two meals a day (10am to 6). I am 49 and had a high liver panel even in my 20's. My recent bloodwork and liver panel has never been as good in my life as it is today. In fact, my last wellness checkup in the fall showed the best liver panel I have ever had as an adult. My doctor is floored. In fact, I was born with a heart problem I had fixed and never got better than 130/90 on Losartan. Now, my blood pressure is 121/78. My doctor told me that it would take eating a 100 grams of fructose a day to hurt my liver and an apple only has 6-8 grams. A month ago I eliminated all seed oils from my diet and I am now noticing muscle growth I never had before. My family are astounded! I look and feel better than I did in my 20s. I get what your saying but CarnivoreMD and Dr. Anthony Chaffee are on to something. Strangely enough my arthritis has disappeared. Fruit over plants helped me and did not increase my craving. Chances are if you are always hungry you are intaking seed oils and processed foods that you think are keto friendly. My belief in God, I do believe he gave us some fruit and plants to eat in moderation … just not with a sedentary lifestyle.
Thank you for your fantastic weekly advice. The hard part for us viewers is to work out where we are on the “spectrum” of health. Many of us overestimate our ‘positive’ aspects and deny or underestimate their ‘negative’ aspects of their behaviour or should I say how much more work we need to do. It must be hard for Dr Sten Ekberg to broadcast to a large range of audience’s health spectrums. That’s why we need these highly detailed explanations.
Does your husband not know that nature has many ways of defending itself against prey? What do you think happens when you eat a poisonous mushroom or very brightly coloured frog?
Excellent advice, right here. 👍 I find that after giving up all the different fruits I used to eat, & just having Berries occasionally, they are really sweet now, I never noticed how sweet before. Your tastes definitely change. TFS, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I thought I was the only one who experienced this . I did keto for about 8 weeks and finished the cycle I had a banana for first time in ages and I thought it was sickening sweet !
I have a friend who diagnosed with stage for melanoma spread his bones. One of the deadliest cancer types! He healed himself with raw cold press vegetables and fruits!! You can not live by only eating fruits or vegetables. I do not eat red meat or chicken unless. Fish if it is wild caught twice a month and organic eggs. Eat little portions of everything don’t mix them. Don’t mix meat with pasta and don’t eat fruits after. One day if you eat organic pasta go with Salad at dinner and eat an apple 2h after lunch.
Thanks for a great lesson on diet. Your point on everyone being potentially different explains how some get away with terrible diets and lifestyles. This video should be required reading.
As per Indian Ayurveda and Yogic diet perspective, eating fruits is okay, but it also tells the following - Only one meal in the entire day - Eat fruits and veggies that are cultivated within 100 KM radius. So, no imported fruits. - Eat within 4 hours after harvesting. - Eat in the afternoon when the sun is at its peak. Our digestive fire (Agni) is poportional to sun. - Eat uncooked raw food where heat is not involved. - Eat only with Peace of mind. Don't eat when you are emotionally upset.
I was getting very sick consuming fruits.. doctors could not or would not tell me what was wrong with me. I Finally did my own research and turned out that I was consuming too much sugar thru fruit. I stopped it and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months and I feel great!
I'm so glad you made this video, I was fruititarian for 4months (following Robert Morse) after following Sebi eating habits for a year, and I lost 20lbs, weighed around 82lbs, and developed a fatty liver. I felt great at the time, looking back that was not a healthy weight for me and I'm glad I had a doctor tell me about the fatty liver, could've been worse. 💕 thank you for your informational videos! * I am 5ft
@@sonyafeolatattoos you can eat low carb and high fat even without a gallbladder but you should introduce higher fat amounts slowly so that your liver can work up to producing sufficient bile amounts for release at meal times. Dr. E tends to recommend low carb high fat for most people. Dr Ken Berry (also on youtube) is adamant most without a gallbladder can do the same but usually need to increase fat amounts slowly. If you still struggle to make enough bile you can supplement with ox bile to aid digestion. Good luck!
Raw vegetables and fruit don't cause a fatty liver on the contrary it helps detox the liver. You probably had clogged gallbladder and liver from before and the liver got aggravated with symptoms from detox and the doctor caught it. A clogged gallbladder can also have a clogged liver. You should work on detoxing the liver and gallbladder. For liver you can take Sylimarin and Alpha Lipoic Acid at every meal. For both liver and gallbladder you should consider the Pulverexx Protocol. I had done the fruit diet for a while and noticed that my right liver area had some pressure. This was do to the body trying to detox the gallbladder but had a blockage there. Same goes with liver. You have to break apart the liver stones and gallstones. Fruit won't do it unless you eat a ton of apples everyday for months.
Doctor sebi was not a fruitarian, he was very specific about what fruits to eat. He was advocate of an alkaline diet, clearly being a fruitarian eating sugary fruit all day would be contrary to this.
Oh, this was an excellent presentation, Dr. E! If only I had known this info back in 2010 it would have saved me over ten years of sickness, obesity and misery. I lost 108 lbs. in just over a year in 2009, but then I allowed a frugivore to convince me that I should be eating only fruit until dinner time, then raw veggies for that meal. I was quite physically fit by that time, and did pretty well with that plan for awhile, I forget how long, but probably six months at least, then I started feeling hungrier and hungrier, had the jitters a lot and just started eating anything and everything to assuage this hunger, somehow not realizing that it was the fruit (and later processed sugar and other food) that was the cause of all my problems. I lost 50 lbs. in 2015, but the same thing happened, as I was still eating too much fruit though I had cut out all processed foods. Same cycle, hungrier and hungrier, back to eating whatever because I was so starved and discouraged. By last June I weighed just under 300 when my brother sent me a great book that explained how I should be eating FAT, something I had always cut way back on when losing weight before. This fat from meats, eggs, full fat yogurt, avocados and salmon was so satiating I was able to eat just two meals a day within a few days, and only one sometimes. Within two weeks I was able to do a weekend fast, which I did most weekends for the next six months. Since Dec. 12 I haven't done any extended fasts, just one or two meals per day, no snacks, and I am down 93 lbs. in only 8 months! Now that I have the correct info, and this way of eating is so tasty and satisfying (NO jitters, hooray!), I believe I'll never be obese and sick like that again. Fifty lbs. to go to my ideal weight, but I have no doubt I'll get there! And, I've gone from being completely sedentary, just moving from my sofa to my computer to my bed, to averaging over 10,000 steps per day since last fall. Everything you said in this video has been my experience, and 100% correct!
@@mariam.dominguez3825 I eat lots of bacon and other fatty meat and fish, all the low-carb vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, celery, as many eggs as I like, some cheese and nuts, olives and avocados. High fat, low carb foods. Lots of good recipes for this kind of eating on the internet (just look up Keto recipes). I eat crisp pork rinds and very dark chocolate for an occasional treat.
so are you saying that fruits are bad and you should stay away from it? What about things as pomegranate, strawberries, blueberries, bananas and oranges
After learning all the damage that’s done with certain foods it became really easy to turn down that slice of pizza, a donut or even a banana. It all starts to look like dog poop after a while. Thanks Doc!
My husband agreed with my decision, I am inviting this man to move in to our home 🏡 for 6 months my body and soul need his knowledge motivation am 98 kg, asthmatic, uncomfortable, miserable and unhappy. Am 49 and I don't feel good or look good. I did intermittent and lost a stone in 3 weeks, I ended up in hospital had emergency surgery due to constipation I had haemorrhoids thrombosed and prolapse. Coupled with laziness I need to help myself..just venting

Thank you! Wonderful! As an analogy, we should treat carbs as fuel and the body as a machine. The latter needs maintenance like with any machine and part of the process of maintenance require proteins and the various forms of fats. Hope this make sense. God bless you all!!!
Would it be safe just to eat cucumbers and beans to flush my body out and like lentils ??
Hummingbird is that a colibrí?
Avocado is a fruit and is full of fat.
Fruitarians are usually really skinny some anorexic looking no muscles think thats a result of all that sugar hardly any protein ignorant to think thats a good idea
My brother actually went for 30 days consuming nothing but Beer. I have to say his life improved greatly. He was able to get rid of his wife AND his job and fish all day.
🤣
😂
He should do a video on it. Very inspiring
Umh! 🤭
😂😂
I went 60 days fruit only and I’m no type 2 diabetic and lost 21lbs mostly fat. The whole fruit thing is a misconception based on sugar. It’s definitely not the same as eat processed foods with sugar.
Congrats this guy is really biased!
Good for you 💪🏻
And how your doctor explained it ?
The big question is: what were you eating before that?
The question is how much
Not medical advise from myself nor am I discounting anything the good doctor is saying but I personally know someone went on a strict ' fruit cleanse' to deal with a health issue for 30 days. They did grapes, bananas, apples and lots of watermelon. By the end of the time they lost about 15lbs, had skin looked like a newborn baby and to this day the health issue is gone. That was about 3 yrs ago.
Too much glucose is not good too
We are more fruitarians/frugivores by nature, so it makes sense.
There's a comment above, same scenario, absolutely destroyed their strength. Took 5 months to recover...
Have they regained the huge strength loss yet?
curring illness with today,s fruits is silly.
All I know is my brother went on a 80% fruit/20% vegetables diet for 90 days. He ate nothing but mostly fruit and some vegetables for three months, and his A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.9, his fasting blood sugar was 86, and he lost 26 pounds.
And this guys saying he couldve done the same thing drinking soda 😂 yeah right
I know Similar people many people some one is lying 🤥 it’s just not tru imo I see total opposite from results in fruitarians
Short term good, long term bad.
But how bad was his diet, body shape/ weight, when he started it?
Because if you're fat with a bad diet then switching to just veggies of course that will help ... 😉
I don't think that just 80% fruits an rest veggies will work for someone who's already eating healthy 🤔 that's what the doctor is saying.
But of course if you eat bad and are obese and switch to fruits it will help ...
More data is needed
My triglyceride is 455. I eat very little processed sugar but I eat a lot of fruits. This video solved the mystery of my elevated triglyceride number. Thank you! Your videos are superb and informative. You are by far my favorite source of health and nutrition information. 🙏🏽
Wow
now watch the eat meat for 30 days video
My triglyceride 450 above how to reduce
@@CHANNELJD stop carbs. high trig. mostly come from too much carbs.
the liver is converting excess sugar to fat (triglyc.) and that can clog up capabilities of liver over time and buildup high trig. levels.
also fructose or HFCS (fructose syrup) does this even faster.
I'm pretty sure your triglycerides are not from the fruits. You should look into what else you are eating in addition to the fruits and the combination of those foods. Perhaps if you ate only fruit and nothing else
I follow the LCHF lifestyle...lost weight, kidney function reversed from stage 3 back to stage 1, high cholesterol back to normal, my brain fog lifted and I have much more energy.
"Everyone is different".... I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 1.5 years ago. My A1c was 7.5 and blood sugar was around 165, peaking around 200. Since then I have been following Dr Ekberg and trying to control sugar and carb intake and have been largely successful (except for Christmas... ouch). My A1c was down to 6.2 and my sugar was consistently around 115. What I have found out though is that as my sugar approaches 100 I start to get sick. My doctor doesn't seem to have an explanation for it but I have to stay around 110 in order to not feel sick, shaky and sweating. Even at that number though I seem to be doing very well and feeling great. Oh and I lost 30 lbs too... thanks Dr Ekberg!
It can take a *long* time to get down to healthier normal blood sugar levels without feeling sick. Keep trying gently to stay lower carb and as your body heals and adjusts it may come around. It does not happen in a few short months of only a year and a half when you may well have been diabetic for a decade or more before diagnosis. You are doing great!
Not that long ago, breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Now you better skip it.
Not that long ago, fat was the worse thing to eat and sugar wasn't that bad, now it's quite the opposite.
Not that long ago, cereals where the foundation of the pyramid, now cereals are real bad.
Not that long ago, milk was very healhty, not anymore.
Not that long ago, eggs were a no-no, too much cholesterol. Now are among the healthiest things you can eat.
Not that long ago, fruit was very healthy, now turns out fruit is unhealthy.
As time goes by, is becoming increasingly hard to believe any diet advice... let's see what they say in ten years.
Look for health advice pre-1950's food information and it will match
My grand parents ate a LCHF diet their entire life on both sides of my family. All lived either to upper 80’s or mid 90’s and were super healthy and thin. LCHF diets is the healthy diet.
That's how science work. it evolves as new research and studies are done.
For millions of years it's been LCHF. Only been flip flopping for a few hundred.
Listen to your body and take in a large variety of different foods as fresh an organic as can be and that's about the best thing you can do for yourself except believe your eating the right way... oh and don't eat unless hour hungry. Simples 😁

@@stafonvoncamron for some people high raw sugar fruits don't matter due to genetics. fruit only diet for short time can lose pound faster than 6x time in gym.

I went on all fruit diet for a month it was very difficult but I heard it would cure my interstitial cystitis which caused dreadful pain and I was having to go to toilet every five minutes, within twenty four hours my bladder improved which encouraged me to stay on the diet I then added vegetables then cooked vegetables within two months my bladder was seventy five % better plus I lost two stones in weight. I then started to add normal food, my bladder is now 90% better I hope this helps people who suffer with interestial cystitis to give it a try for 48 hours.
The success you achieved could have very well been due to what you WEREN'T eating, grains, toxic vegetable oils, processed foods, added sugars, as it was really an elimination diet. Even so, glad you were able to heal yourself. 💛
@@missygee6155 you could very well be correct but after suffering about five years the hospital couldn't help and I was sent to a London hospital which tried various tablets and treatments and suggested Botox but I did some research and found the Fruit diet which changed my life for the better.

I noticed the difference in 24 hours!
Same here... Awesome rigth?
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I'd be curious to see if going without the seed oils, grains, & excessive sugars would've had the same positive effect? I know my inflammatory markers plummeted when I went to the keto way of eating.
@@luvfunstuff2 I really don't know, I have not taken suger since I was a very small child I am a savoury person I don't care for sweet things, I use mostly butter for cooking or frying and only use olive oil for salads but no oils for frying.

Fruit heals!
Our bodies run off natural fructose!!
ATP fuel!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Hola. Podrías detallar cómo elimina el cuerpo la fructosa?
Our body makes glucose, not fructose🍓
ruit wants to be eaten. Beware! It is nature's own junk food. It has no interest in giving you a healthy meal. It just wants you to spread its seeds. It lures you in with sugar. If you want to know about how fruit makes you FAT, read Richard Johnson's book "Nature wants us to be Fat".
Fructose and glucose actually produce much more reactive oxygen species and require more ATP than burning Ketones which burn much cleaner and inhibit nlrp3 inflammasome whereas fructose is definitely inflammatory
People don't listen well he said 8.8 pounds was needed a day, and nobody eats that much they starve themselves, which always results in weight loss which is normally always a good thing
"It's not what you eat, it's what your body does with it." It took me almost 30 yrs to learn this
Thank You DarthNoshitam 😄
Really... Lol okay
Yeah but if you give your body junk, it will process junk.. give it nutrients it will process nutrients.
what if you dont eat something lets say u fast instead of eating fries or rice...whats harmful would u think? eating that staff or not eating it at all...?it is what we eat what be become!!!!!
Its def about what you eat too not just when you eat it
There is no moment for me to should be eating a cake
I know many people say after training you need glycose and stuff, but id rather eat an apple after training and a few potatos later after training, than a cake
I drank Mean Green juice from fat sick and nearly dead which is mostly veggies 3 times a day about 48 ozs a day. for about 3 or 4 months . I never felt hungry, lost 20 lbs and fixed some lower leg vein issues and also fixed my swoilen prostrate . i loved it. I was about 60 at the time, The only fruit in it was apples.
Starvation works it's good for us in short periods actually
Processed sugar is not the same as whole food sugar, maybe molecularly, but the effect of absorption makes a very significant difference. It's the little things. Vegan, keto, fruigivore... to each his or her own. Live long and prosper.
Ten months, ten stone lost, didn't think it was possible, these videos have been life changing. It did take me a long time to understand that fruit wasn't the be all and end all. I still have a weekly treat of cream, blueberries, raspberries and macadamias.

As I learn earlier fruits is 100% fructose and it directly enter liver. I take small quantity of berries. Thanks for another informative video. God blessed.
All fruits average more or less a sugar content of 50% fructose and 50% glucose (the sucrose in fruits metabolize down to fructose, so the averages come out 50/50 fructose/glucose in the end). Including berries.
Somewhere I read that berries, and perhaps other fruit plants, pull nutrients from the soil in the last few hours of ripening, and deposit those nutrients in the fruit. Point being, the stuff in the stores that was picked early and "ripened" on its way to the store, won't have the minerals and whatever else, that the naturally-ripened fruit would have.
Dr. Sten how about "What if you only ate chicken for 30 days" or "What if you only ate pork for 30 days". Why pick on fruits. I believe that fruit is part of a balanced healthy diet. I have been eating a bowl of local tropical fruits every morning for over thirty years as part of a whole food plant-based way of eating. Along with daily physical activity, I have maintained a high level of energy, I have no health issues, and my weight has remained consistent. There is no need to avoid fruits
Seems like another phony dr that is pushing his indoctrination onto others smh
Well said!
Is eating fruit alongside the right herbs healthy then? Because I do grape cleanses with nettle seeds for 30 days and I feel great!
Couldn't be a better day for me not to be able to sleep. You are part of the joy in my Friday. When ever I need to calm myself or go to a happy place you are one of the faces, voices and personality that I think of. All the best to you and yours Sten.

I am a Danish blacksmith 66 yrs. old 176cm. height. I started out 1. of October last year weighing in at 102Kg's. Went on (very) strict keto diet, which I am still on at this point. My weight today says 76Kg. I have not felt hungry during this period even though I eat very little, and I have experienced great mental clarity overall, and I feel like I have more energy now, than I have had over the last decade of letting myself go. I have added D-vitamin, small amounts of electric trace minerals and sparingly raw apple vinegar cider every day. I have (re-)started working out, lifting weights and treadmilling, and lately adjusted my eating toward more protein and less fat as I am now fully keto adapted. Your (and Ninja Nerd's) videos are among my most treasured and I cannot thank you enough for the work you do. Tusind tak Sten til dig og dine og masser af kærlighed fra Danmark.

Do you think when youre leaned out this will still work and give you energy or eill you keep on metabolizing yourself?

I'm gunning for flexible metabolism going forward. I believe it worked because I stuck with strict Keto and just enuff fat to keep my body from eating all my muscles ;-)

I did it as an experiment. Fruitarian for February in 2018. Lost 26.5 lbs in 28 days. Seemed great on the scale. But my strength took a huge dive! My absolute strength (weights) tanked: bench press reduced from 250# to 185# (3 rep max). What was surprising was the loss in relative strength (bodyweight): Pull-ups reduced from 21 reps to 13. I thought that my pull-ups would not change since I lost so much weight. But that was not the case. Even worse, it took about 5 months to regain the strength I lost in 1 month. It was a good experiment, but won’t do that again.
I'm surprised to hear about the weight loss! (Granted, I haven't watched the video yet)
Thanks for the info.
I ate grapes and watermelon only for 30 days and lost 25 pounds. My blood pressure went from 145/105 to 120/70. I went from sleeping 8 to 9 hours a day and waking up tired to sleeping 6 hours a day and waking up energized. I understand that Dr. Ekberg pushes low carb, but it is amazing all these health experts plans work. Low carb, vegan (healthy), meat only, etc. all seem to work. The only difference I see in all of them is that keep you off the processed junk food.
@@RC-ld3cn - you know, that is an interesting point. I had very similar results as you when I started this journey (clean keto + IF). The first month it was like the weight just fell off. Makes me wonder how these various diets would work on people like us who have already lost that "easy" (initial) weight.
My plan is to stick to clean keto with fasting, and maybe even carnivore for a while. The sugar and carb addictions keep clawing back, so I can't risk feeding them with fruit.
I remember that my strength reduced slightly until about the 10-day mark when it took a dive from there, so it might be a good weight-loss strategy if done for about 3-5 days. Not nutritional or fitness advice, of course. Just personal observation. I am a little keto these days (60F/30P/10C) where my carbs are mainly from apples/dates/blueberries (my three favorites in a bowl with cinnamon, cacao powder and whole milk/cream). Have a blessed day!
I was eating fruits as my primary source of carbs but not only fruit and I felt great. So what I did was that fruit was my only source of carbs and then I got my fat and proteins from eggs, fish, and nuts. The fruit also included avocado. And I felt great
I did this for 3 months and felt awesome. I had mostly fruit, but also allowed eggs& dairy (no fish though). Lots of the not sweet fruits like avacado, squash, peppers, etc. Been planning to do it again because I felt so good.
I´m a diabetic type 1 for 24 years, since I was 12 yeas old. The last 3 years I´m on a journey trying to improve my health and possibly even get rid of the disease, even though I´m aware that the official narrative is that my pancreas will never produce insulin again. 2 years ago I decided to eat only fruits, including avocados which I love. The first 3 months were awesome. I had a lot of energy, I even lifted weights. I was not hungry all the time, but I have to admit that the avocados were helping in that regard! My insulin intake was dramatically reduced and there were a few times that I ate without even having to shoot insulin, which had never happened to me since I was diagnosed. I did not gain weight, quite the contrary I lost a lot of weight. I went from 70 kg to 51 kg. My height is 1.75.
In fact I was losing so much weight that I stopped lifting on the 4th month and eventually I was finding it hard to even carry the grocery. I had lost a lot of fat but also a lot of muscle. And that was the reason I stopped the fruit diet. I just needed to gain weight and I needed a warm meal during winter. I recently started vegetarian keto, eating veggies, eggs and cheese and so far I have similar blood sugar levels as when I was eating only fruits. But the difference is that on keto my blood sugar spikes much less.
So,from my experience, fruits are not like soda. Fruits do not promote fat storage, at least they didn´t for me. Plus, my blood glucose was on good levels. The only problem for me with the fruitarian lifestyle is that it´s not sustainable long term. I´ll see how it will go with keto.

Fruits contain Fructose that doesn't raise insulin but it's metabolized by liver and converted into fat that damages the liver
Most people can’t do a fruit fast for more than 30-90 days and be healthy and at their best❤
Of course fruit drives liver fat which you can't see bc it's not adipose it's visceral
Avoiding meat is one of the biggest cons of the century
I am 73, lost 45 pounds and lowered my blood sugar by following your video’s, i have watched all of your posts since I started watching in 2018. My question is, what about the Ads we see on TV touting that “red and Green” bottle that gives you all your fruits and veggies in a few capsules. What do you think?
Just by eating the rice diet with a lot of fruit I got rid of my insulin resistance and my blood sugar levels got perfect. I ate 2300 kcal per day, Desk job. I felt great. My blood work is very good. No weight loss or gain for 6 months that I did the diet.
Thats very interesting!
@katrinaewarak wow that's amazing.Could you please explain more about the rice diet
I used to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, something just fruit for a meal, now at 52 years old, I am prediabetes, then last year I start keto diet and my glucose is normal now and I eat berries one time a week only.
Did you happen to have consumed any of these items in more than moderate quantities regularly or daily (a) refined oils (b) dairy (c) other animal products (d) processed foods?
Depending on the order of food
Theory is often remarkably different from the results in practice; in practice, the more fruit people eat, the more weight they lose, the lower blood pressure and, over time, better blood sugar control they achieve. This has been borne out in numerous long-term population studies.
Food studies are typically very poor and easily manipulated to fit whatever agenda the publisher was biased towards.

I do like fruit, I eat 2-3 pieces of fruit a day. I try to eat seasonal fruit. Thanks for this informative video. 👍
Then test your blood sugar and see what's going on🙂
Seasonal and "pieces" is OK. Especially if you have it instead of cake or other deserts. And fresh fruit is better than dried fruit, like Raisins. It's also better than jam or marmelade, It always depends what one is comparing with.
I love your videos. Just wanted to add that in remote places (north Canada) frozen vegetable and sometimes fruits are better than fresh one because frozen vegetables are frozen right after harvest but fresh ones spend month in refrigerator and will lose a lot of its quality. What is your opinion on that?
The sugar content is what people is concerned about, but I know the body metabolizes fruit sugar in a different way.
Not really only slower the sugars dont magically dissapear theres simply an additional digestive process
I started eating 55% fat, 20% protein and 25% carbs about a year ago. I am currently 30lbs less then where I started and feel so much better! I also no longer eat table sugar and eat mostly made from scratch foods.
Thank you. I tried the fruit and vegetable juicing. Definitely not the best decision. I noticed immediately that my blood sugar was off. For me, juicing in the morning for a day or two was ok. However, any more than 3 days spikes my blood sugar and messes with my kidneys.

I like the idea of eating seasonal fruit. I tend to do this naturally anyway since fruit seems to taste much better in its natural season. I was wondering if vegetables were the same way, and if they should be eaten during their season or if they were fine to eat during all times of the year.
Japanese used to do this for millennial, eat seasonal vegetables, eat almost no sugar, and processed foods, walk alot. Natural is best and they have proven it. Ofc like all other western countries now fruits and processed foods has entered their food chain, as well as vegetable oil (highly processed), and it is raising their obesity.
Precisely!
I love seasonal vegies and fruit and I try to buy from local organic farmers as much as possible. Even organic from different countries do not taste as good as local.
Our closest cousin in the animal kingdom, chimps, eat almost nothing but fruit year round, they dont get fatty liver.
@@andrewfetterolf7042chimps live in warm climate. We survived ice age
Excellent presentation, just want to add that no fruit we currently eat is really natural. Most fruit has been bred to produce larger and a sweeter varieties. Primitive pre-cultured fruits were much less sweet, often tart, so would have contained a higher percentage of fat and protein. The other issue of fructose is it has been shown to drive CAD.
Fruit is fruit-organic or not. Seasonal or not. And I love fruit as much as the next person. But I'm a chemist. Sugar is sugar is sugar. It doesn't matter what the source is. I love peaches, cherries, oranges and dried figs. I could eat all these all day. If it was good for you I would. I am a 30gram a day low carber and do eat some of these things once in a while. I just don't want to go off the reservation so am very careful.
@@pillsberour closest cousin in the animal kingdom, chimps eat almost nothing but fruit year round and they are just fine. We only started eating less fruit because we left the forests and fruit trees and needed to hunt more
@@andrewfetterolf7042 God, who created all things made man able to eat many things but it does not mean we should abuse our bodies. We are not cousins with chimps and I hope you don't think you are.
When I eat plenty of fruit I don’t get hungry much.
Thanks for putting this up. I have decided to give up fruit. I had no idea, thought eating loads of fruit was fine. Everything you said made a lot of sense. Often eat 3 apples, 2 pears, and a banana, just watching Television, thinking it's all healthy. What a load of crap. Thanks again, Dr. Ekberg.
No matter what you eat, there's always going to be a drawback. Fruits need to be eaten not in a binge sort of way, but they do contain nutrients and vitamins. Moderation is important.
Nobody gets fat from eating too much fruit....but the same can't be said about drinking too much soda. I live at Lat.15 where fruit is low hanging all year round. YUM!!
I am a partial fruitarian and ften go for days eating fruits only, it helps me lose weight and clear my system. At 66 I am doing just fine. Unfortunately there has been a witchhunt on fruit by the keto diet industry in the past few years.
Agreed
You are absolutely right ❤️
Knowing your body and what works for it is key. My body flourishes on fruits and veggies, nothing processed, as I’m pretty active. I tried LCHF and it clogged my system leading to weight gain. I’m in an eat to cleanse not to clog lifestyle.
you dont care about the chemical composition of the sugar but thats exactly the reason why it matters.
Im now 65, At one point in my early 50's, I accidentally became a fruitarian for an entire summer. I had no intention to do so when i started eating just fruit. There was an abundance of fabulous delicious fruits of many kinds in the stores and i just naturally gravitated to it. Cantalopes, watermelon,oranges, grapefruits, strawberrries, peaches, plums, pears, figs, pineapple,mangos, kiwi,bananas, grapes,starfruit raspberries,,,oh my ..the variety was so enticing. There were other types too.
I didnt notice any bad feelings or mood changes, But I did eat very often.
By the end of summer, I had gained 15 pounds. I was astonished that i had gained so much weight eating "healthy fruit "
I had not thought this at the time,.but i was getting summer fat in prep for winter starvation...just like our ancestors did naturally.
Our modern Winter food supply is now stable, and we do not need to do this !
i found that it was especially difficult trying to loose that fruit weight.
I still love fruit..but im lucky that in the Keto diet, i can still enjoy my personal favorite fruits..raspberries and strawberries. The other kinds are " treats" now and I have a piece maybe once a month. Id rather have one perfect sun-ripened Peach than almost anything else in the world to eat.
Thank you for making the body's mechanisms easy to understand.
Fruitose goes to the liver where it's converted to fat.
Thanks for sharing your story.
@@poseidon3032 That's not 100% accurate. the liver converts excess glucose into glycogen (stored fat), then converts the stored glycogen back to glucose when the body needs extra fuel.
My husband and I have been keto for nearly 3 years and I am relatively fit now compared to where I was when I started my fitness journey 5½ years ago, but I still wouldn't go back to eating more carbs/fruit for exactly the reasons you mentioned, cravings and mood. I have seen a drastic improvement in my mood since starting keto.
I strongly believe that my brain was inflamed when I was eating a SAD 😢 diet.
After reading some of Dr. Daniel Amen's books, I also believe that I have ADD and have struggled with it all of my life. Keto and weightlifting really keep my symptoms in check.
I had a checkup from Dr Amen’s Clinic 10 years ago!!
@@LilCraftyNook I'm jealous. Wish we could afford to be seen at an Amen Clinic.
@Dignity True I'm not sure where you are getting your information because I've never heard of such fears.
No, keto doesn't cause women to lose their periods like veganism does. Keto rights hormonal imbalances caused by insulin resistance which results from the over consumption of carbs.
Everyone wants an “out” for their shortcomings. Start meditating and reading. Work on your focus and patience. ADD is one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on humanity. There was no ADD for hundreds of thousands of years and we did just fine. Its created by big pharma to make people drug addicts for life hooked on their drugs.

Have to say though despite a demanding job in the building trade ,extensive morning exercise as well. I lost zero weight… felt amazing though 😆
Yes you'd feel fine by cutting out all processed foods - until your liver gives up the ghost and your teeth fall out.
Simply cutting carbs and sugar out of my diet has been amazing. So many problems I had begun to experience as I aged are gone now. As long as I keep my caloric intake below/at 2000, and pay attention to the amounts of carbs/sugar I eat I can keep myself on track. Surprisingly switching to stevia has had the biggest effect on me as I use only one little packet in my coffee instead of the 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar I used to. Cutting out fruit juice and drinking water instead has been the other big change that made a huge difference. Thank you Sten, for showing that it doesn't have to be a huge, complicated process to get healthier, but simple changes that can make big differences.
@@KJB0001 Pretty much, spinach and broccoli once in a while, occasionally peas, haven't had a salad in I don't know how many years.
100% monk fruit powder which is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar is a great product because it doesn't raise your blood sugars, it's 0 calories, is zero carbs, it's zero sugar but it's incredibly sweet.
Lately I have been binging out at least a little bit anyway on choc zero products which are made with monk fruit extract
I love your calm clear and percise way to explain. Thank you for your work! You are a great teacher.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for over thoroughly explaining the science of sugar and fruit on the body in a way we all can understand.
At 27:55 - Yep! That's me! Wanting to reverse my insulin resistance I did Keto and intermittent fasting for about 10 months (went from BMI 40 to 23) I adopted the LCHF lifestyle and developed a much more active lifestyle! (SUCCESS! Thanks Dr. Ekberg!!) Then this past holiday I figured that, after 2 years I've now got this "under control", so I allowed my self to "pig out", not only for a day or two, like I have been able to do in the past, but for the the whole holiday period! After 2 weeks I was always tired, hungry and gained a lot of weight! I thought it would be easy to just go back to my LCHF lifestyle and I would soon be back on track after the New Year! I WAS WRONG! Like an alcoholic I now struggled sticking to low carb, the cravings for carbs was intense, I was always hungry and 3 weeks later I was at BMI 30!! To get back on track I've now done 5 days strict Keto (OMAD) followed by a 48hr fast. Cravings are finally gone, my energy is back! I'm confident that I'm now finally back on track! It sure wasn't as easy as when I did this the first time!! I'm gonna stick to this until I'm back at BMI 23. Lesson learned! I'm not ever gonna allow myself to do that again!! LCHF is for me!
Thank you for sharing your set back. I totally agree with you. I’m going through it right now.
Yeah but life’s so much easier not having to worry about what to eat
Just sit down n eat at an eatery or get together. Just go to store n buy whatever, easy food even. Just toast a bagel n be out the door in morning. Grab something while out with friends or running errands.
Lchf takes up so much mind space n time.
Unless I fast 22hrs a day. Then I don’t get to join in on the eating. America is all about socializing round food. So fasting just lets me say no I’m not eating at all but it’s NOT the same.
Only my health issues make me continue eating so severely
True story, I lost 60 pounds in a year and kept it off for another year, went back to my old ways 6 months ago and gained back 40 pounds since. I had gotten rid of all my fat clothes vowing ever to go back, and ended up having to go buy new clothes since nothing fit me. I started back a week ago with IF and Keto, so far so good.
@@jeremyking3986 I can gain 10# in onnnnne week. Just did it few weeks ago. N I wasn’t super ketosis so it’s not just “water”.
#oldwomen
Be glad ur not a woman or old, both are death sentences for metabolisms.
It’ll take a month of multiple day fasts weekly and strict OMADs to get it back off
@@jeremyking3986 hard lesson !
Long term vegan here. I totally agree. Non starchy vegetables can be eaten in large amounts. 1-2 pieces of fruit should be enough for the day. Combining amino acids in the course of the day - from pulses/legumes and (pseudo)cereals, nuts and seeds - is important to get the right amount of all essential amino acids. Sweets and highly processed foods should be avoided as much as possible. And: Don‘t forget vitamin B12, vitamin D3, long chain fatty acids DHA/EPA.
Can u please share your diet . I have a problem going vegan regarding the diet and having the right nutrients. Thank you
Do you exercise on a consistent basis?
"Non starchy vegetables can be eaten in large amounts. " If you're tolerant to oxalates. Many people aren't. You are one of the lucky minority able to thrive on a Vegan diet - good for you.

@@CeaSeMusic1 Fructose is metabolized by the exact same process as alcohol - by the liver - and driving this process hard causes saturation of the liver's capacity and leads to fat deposits within the liver - or fatty liver disease. Some people are able to process huge amounts of alcohol or fructose without any obvious deleterious effects to the liver - most people cannot.

@@blackbriarwolf5766 Animals like cows filter all the natural and man made pesticides. They are evolved to actually process pesticides very well.

Fully Raw Christina Eats heaps of fruit and she appears to be in great health. How do you explain that, if fruit is so bad for you?
Fruit in limited amount is not prohibitive on low carb diet. I have been able to maintain my weight. I add some apple to my salad and berries. I also had some tropical seasonal fruit like mango. The KEY is keeping it strictly limited. If I eat berries one day, a different fruit another day. As long as it’s within 50gm of carb. It’s better eating a small fruit than junk.
Also no matter what diet people eat, eating all day is not good. I have 2 meals. One meal is big salad with some EVoo and vinegar and some protein.
Too much fruit intake probably contributed to my mild fatty liver. After two months of I.F. and Keto, my liver has cleared up.
As an athlete I admire your past, as a wise health follower your present. Thank you for the clear messages you bring on. Nice to hear about 2 fruits a day, because that is the same I do. The Dutch nutrition center even advise that, 2 fruits and 2 ounces of veggies a day. And another general Dutch wisdom: too much of something will damage you.
2oz veg? Wow, that’s hardly anything. Most recommendations are between 5 and 9 servings/day of 1c fresh or 1/2 cooked in general)
Sugar from fruit is good it’s the high fructose corn syrup that’s bad
Thank you for trying to help so many people with your knowledge. Can you possibly speak about Moringa? I've been eating it for about 9 months and I think it's helping.
Can you please specify how is it helping you
I believe him cause my dog we were both vegetarian half of his life. But we ate too much organic fruits and a lot of pizza and pasta. He died from diabetes at 10 yo .

@@GaryHighFruit Stop it cultist, no one is listening to your propaganda.
Great lecture - thanks . Problem I have is one that a lot of people have . We have been pretty much hard wired on a sugary diet from a young age , and despite having fantastic results on low carb , I still need something sweet every day . It's my next goal to see if I can get over that . We are like opiate addicts trying to overcome our addiction but where opiates are easily available even in a local convenience store - sometimes labelled as ' healthy opiates ' ( with added vitamins) .
The struggle is real. Keep trying to fight the cravings.
Your cravings for sugar comes from your mitochondria. If you stop eating carbs for at least 30 days you will change the signals to your brain from the mitochondria and your addiction will completely end.
Trust me, Ive trained hundreds of people on keto and carnivore. And really after the first 5 days or so your cravings will go away. You will feel like crap for about 2 weeks
But then you feel better than you ever felt In years
It's tough but it will change your life.
I'm strict carnivore 7 years now
Zero health issues at almost 70.
@@duststorm7287 I appreciate your reply but I am pretty low carb already and a great fan / follower of both Dr Fung and Dr Ken Berry ( amongst others in the low carb community ) . I am a bit younger than you at 66 and take no meds and still work full time in a busy environment . Although I was raised on home cooking , like a lot of working-class people our diet was high carb with sugar on top . I think ' sweetness ' is also tied in with pleasure centres etc . Last Lent I gave up ( wholemeal ) bread and the results were so immediate and positive that I haven't eaten any bread and hardly any grains at all . Amazing as I was a high wholegrain vegetarian for years which made me fat and sick . This Lent I am going to concentrate on reducing/ getting rid of sweetness in my diet . At the moment that might just mean having one diet ( de caff ) soda a day .
Just like opiates, the only way to break the addiction is to stop using for a long enough time.
@@michaeldillon3113 I'm just like you. Same age. I've been mostly carnivore for 2 years and still crave sweets. But instead of fighting it, now I just eat a little honey sometimes. My favorite meal is a huge hamburger with buffalo Camembert and a little honey on top!
I'm more concerned about histamine and oxalate overload than sugar.
I was 30 days on fruit! I cleaned all my lymphatic systemand I feel great ❤️
I tried this and actually put weight on. Been on keto 3months first time I Hav e lost weight for a long time down by about 1 and half stone , thank you for all your advice
In the mornings, I typically have oats, coffee, and bread. Lunch, about 3 to 4 servings of fruit. I'm finding that 4 may be too much. Dinner, salad or a regular meal, sometimes immediately followed by nuts or dark chocolate desert. Usually 70
% or darker. Any % less is becoming too sweet. I stopped much of the snacking between meals (it's usually about 11 hours between dinner and breakfast of no eating), the sodas, fast foods, and packed foods. A couple of meals include meat. I think we overload on the proteins. Just enough meat to maintain nutrition levels. I don't really drink much fruit juices. I drink herbal teas. Take various herb supplements. During the day I drink waters with added green and fruit powders, electrolytes, and coconut water. Coconut water is amazing with the energy boost. Usually plain water with the fruit. I've read that aloe juice can lower blood sugar and thinking that it might could temper blood sugar levels while eating fruit. With vegetables, I focus more on the hydrating ones like cucumbers, tomatoes, and celery. I can tell you that before I started on my health trend, my nerves were shot, I was congested all the time and many little health quirks have cleared up. I'm a long from where I want to be. It certainly is a journey. I eat to live, not live to eat. I have things to do. Hobbies as well. It was said, consider our closest relatives, the apes. How do they eat? Might give us an insight.
Hey great video!! Very informative and great visual. I've done all the different diets and tried vegan ,frugavore and now after trying many diets. I've found that holistic diet works best for me, red meat, eggs, raw cheese, and fruits
I agree but not cheese… causes inflammation for me
So very true with juice cleanse & fruit
I’m carnivore / meat based but was having issues hitting a wall with severe de hydration & weakness . Feels like I’m just over loaded with fat .
I’m going to re calibrate & start on the lowest fat ground beef & add blue berries in a few times a week & up my lemon water . See how that goes .
It was 2015 and I was having serious phlegm issues in my lungs. I followed Dr. Robert Morse and his lymph cleanse protocol. For 8 mo. I ate 80% fruit and 20% salads or 'junk' like enchalads, Ramen, burgers, BBQ chicken etc. My lungs cleared up, my Yoga practice improved. And my weight stayed around 120. It was a good go. Long time heavy fruit consumption will cleanse and rescue the lymph system. What can I say?
Burgers n chicken are not junk
Enchiladas are fine if u take off the tortillas
I think that fruit sugars are being labeled and treated the same way refined sugars are. I really doubt that sugars in an apple or strawberry would be as detrimental as sugar in an icecream or chocolate. I will juice roughly 10 strawberries, 2 apples and a handful of grapes with some ice and down the lot without the slightest sugar slump. Not even a hint. Nature has a way of metabolising these sugars since they are consumed with proportional quantities of fiber. I think a lot more research needs to be done.
Refined sugars are not the same as the sugar in fruit. Eating fruits and eating tablespoons of sugar is definitely not the same thing.
First, let me say I appreciate your advice and consider it helpful … like the mark twain quote is applicable. For me, when it comes to my residual love handles and fatty liver, keto alone did not do it … and I started strictly 2 years ago 60 pounds over weight). Carnivore alone did not do it, started 1 year ago (20 pounds over weight). Mind you I have been on the same workout for a few years (biking, yoga) When I made my carbs a day only fruit (apples, blueberries), along with Kefir, in the summer of 2022 I started noticing amazing energy for workout and sleep and mental clarity. I also switched to one table spoon of honey in my coffee in the morning. I keep my two meals a day (10am to 6). I am 49 and had a high liver panel even in my 20's. My recent bloodwork and liver panel has never been as good in my life as it is today. In fact, my last wellness checkup in the fall showed the best liver panel I have ever had as an adult. My doctor is floored. In fact, I was born with a heart problem I had fixed and never got better than 130/90 on Losartan. Now, my blood pressure is 121/78. My doctor told me that it would take eating a 100 grams of fructose a day to hurt my liver and an apple only has 6-8 grams. A month ago I eliminated all seed oils from my diet and I am now noticing muscle growth I never had before. My family are astounded! I look and feel better than I did in my 20s. I get what your saying but CarnivoreMD and Dr. Anthony Chaffee are on to something. Strangely enough my arthritis has disappeared. Fruit over plants helped me and did not increase my craving. Chances are if you are always hungry you are intaking seed oils and processed foods that you think are keto friendly. My belief in God, I do believe he gave us some fruit and plants to eat in moderation … just not with a sedentary lifestyle.

Thank you for your fantastic weekly advice. The hard part for us viewers is to work out where we are on the “spectrum” of health. Many of us overestimate our ‘positive’ aspects and deny or underestimate their ‘negative’ aspects of their behaviour or should I say how much more work we need to do. It must be hard for Dr Sten Ekberg to broadcast to a large range of audience’s health spectrums. That’s why we need these highly detailed explanations.

I tell my friend cocaine is natural too 😆
Does your husband not know that nature has many ways of defending itself against prey? What do you think happens when you eat a poisonous mushroom or very brightly coloured frog?
There are a lot of people who
eat only raw fruits and vegetables and workout and have a strong body.
I was going to start only fruits diet but after watching this video I will not eat only fruits .I will balance my diet plan thanks ..
He’s bought and paid for. He creates many customers. Do your fruit diet for 30 days and watch what happens
I listened to hundreds of videos from different doctors nutritionists n what have you, truthfully I think you're the best by far.
Now that I am in Low-carb diet and stop eating sugary foods, I feel so hungry when sometimes I eat fruits like banana.
I don’t
Your channel and your wisdom are a real gift! Thank you very much!
Thank You gunsen73. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Excellent advice, right here. 👍
I find that after giving up all the different fruits I used to eat, & just having Berries occasionally, they are really sweet now, I never noticed how sweet before. Your tastes definitely change.
TFS, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I thought I was the only one who experienced this .
I did keto for about 8 weeks and finished the cycle I had a banana for first time in ages and I thought it was sickening sweet !
I had a big greasy cheeseburger and chips with a full fat cola mmmmmm taaaaasty
Teach doctor. I tell people this all the time. God bless you tremendously for teaching this truth.
I have a friend who diagnosed with stage for melanoma spread his bones. One of the deadliest cancer types! He healed himself with raw cold press vegetables and fruits!! You can not live by only eating fruits or vegetables. I do not eat red meat or chicken unless. Fish if it is wild caught twice a month and organic eggs. Eat little portions of everything don’t mix them. Don’t mix meat with pasta and don’t eat fruits after. One day if you eat organic pasta go with Salad at dinner and eat an apple 2h after lunch.
Thanks for a great lesson on diet. Your point on everyone being potentially different explains how some get away with terrible diets and lifestyles. This video should be required reading.
As per Indian Ayurveda and Yogic diet perspective, eating fruits is okay, but it also tells the following
- Only one meal in the entire day
- Eat fruits and veggies that are cultivated within 100 KM radius. So, no imported fruits.
- Eat within 4 hours after harvesting.
- Eat in the afternoon when the sun is at its peak. Our digestive fire (Agni) is poportional to sun.
- Eat uncooked raw food where heat is not involved.
- Eat only with Peace of mind. Don't eat when you are emotionally upset.
" Eat within 4 hours after harvesting." Haha. Good luck with that, unless you frow your own food!
I wish nice day to everyone, who reads this.
You have a wonderful day yourself
I wish a nice day to you Michal. 🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️🙋
@@johnkane9472 hi john. Have a wonderful day
@@gwendolynkaren5933 You as well 💕
Thank You Michal Pavlíček. Same to you. 😄
I was getting very sick consuming fruits.. doctors could not or would not tell me what was wrong with me. I Finally did my own research and turned out that I was consuming too much sugar thru fruit. I stopped it and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months and I feel great!
Thank you DR. I gonna try.I got High blood pressure. 🇵🇭👏♥️🙏
I'm so glad you made this video, I was fruititarian for 4months (following Robert Morse) after following Sebi eating habits for a year, and I lost 20lbs, weighed around 82lbs, and developed a fatty liver. I felt great at the time, looking back that was not a healthy weight for me and I'm glad I had a doctor tell me about the fatty liver, could've been worse. 💕 thank you for your informational videos!
* I am 5ft
Also, that being said, what eating habits would be wise to have if you've had your gall bladder put since 12yearsold, now 27
@@sonyafeolatattoos you can eat low carb and high fat even without a gallbladder but you should introduce higher fat amounts slowly so that your liver can work up to producing sufficient bile amounts for release at meal times.
Dr. E tends to recommend low carb high fat for most people. Dr Ken Berry (also on youtube) is adamant most without a gallbladder can do the same but usually need to increase fat amounts slowly. If you still struggle to make enough bile you can supplement with ox bile to aid digestion. Good luck!
You probably didn't realize you had fatty liver before the fruit fast.
Raw vegetables and fruit don't cause a fatty liver on the contrary it helps detox the liver. You probably had clogged gallbladder and liver from before and the liver got aggravated with symptoms from detox and the doctor caught it. A clogged gallbladder can also have a clogged liver. You should work on detoxing the liver and gallbladder. For liver you can take Sylimarin and Alpha Lipoic Acid at every meal. For both liver and gallbladder you should consider the Pulverexx Protocol. I had done the fruit diet for a while and noticed that my right liver area had some pressure. This was do to the body trying to detox the gallbladder but had a blockage there. Same goes with liver. You have to break apart the liver stones and gallstones. Fruit won't do it unless you eat a ton of apples everyday for months.
Doctor sebi was not a fruitarian, he was very specific about what fruits to eat. He was advocate of an alkaline diet, clearly being a fruitarian eating sugary fruit all day would be contrary to this.
Oh, this was an excellent presentation, Dr. E! If only I had known this info back in 2010 it would have saved me over ten years of sickness, obesity and misery. I lost 108 lbs. in just over a year in 2009, but then I allowed a frugivore to convince me that I should be eating only fruit until dinner time, then raw veggies for that meal. I was quite physically fit by that time, and did pretty well with that plan for awhile, I forget how long, but probably six months at least, then I started feeling hungrier and hungrier, had the jitters a lot and just started eating anything and everything to assuage this hunger, somehow not realizing that it was the fruit (and later processed sugar and other food) that was the cause of all my problems. I lost 50 lbs. in 2015, but the same thing happened, as I was still eating too much fruit though I had cut out all processed foods. Same cycle, hungrier and hungrier, back to eating whatever because I was so starved and discouraged.
By last June I weighed just under 300 when my brother sent me a great book that explained how I should be eating FAT, something I had always cut way back on when losing weight before. This fat from meats, eggs, full fat yogurt, avocados and salmon was so satiating I was able to eat just two meals a day within a few days, and only one sometimes. Within two weeks I was able to do a weekend fast, which I did most weekends for the next six months. Since Dec. 12 I haven't done any extended fasts, just one or two meals per day, no snacks, and I am down 93 lbs. in only 8 months! Now that I have the correct info, and this way of eating is so tasty and satisfying (NO jitters, hooray!), I believe I'll never be obese and sick like that again. Fifty lbs. to go to my ideal weight, but I have no doubt I'll get there! And, I've gone from being completely sedentary, just moving from my sofa to my computer to my bed, to averaging over 10,000 steps per day since last fall. Everything you said in this video has been my experience, and 100% correct!
Hola te felicito por tus logros, podrías decirme que come en una semana .?
@@mariam.dominguez3825 I eat lots of bacon and other fatty meat and fish, all the low-carb vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, celery, as many eggs as I like, some cheese and nuts, olives and avocados. High fat, low carb foods. Lots of good recipes for this kind of eating on the internet (just look up Keto recipes). I eat crisp pork rinds and very dark chocolate for an occasional treat.
Thanks for sharing
so are you saying that fruits are bad and you should stay away from it? What about things as pomegranate, strawberries, blueberries, bananas and oranges
This is the most comprehensive and intelligent discussion I've seen on Utube...what about the all meat diet..where do these extreme ideas come from...
This video is the best video I have ever watched regarding fruit. It was so integrated, well communicated, and easy to grasp. Thank you Dr. EcBerg!!
Thank You Ann Watkins. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
After learning all the damage that’s done with certain foods it became really easy to turn down that slice of pizza, a donut or even a banana. It all starts to look like dog poop after a while. Thanks Doc!
Thanks Dr Sten i have been eating alot of fruits recently and always feeling hungry. The video is so helpful.
My husband agreed with my decision, I am inviting this man to move in to our home 🏡 for 6 months my body and soul need his knowledge motivation am 98 kg, asthmatic, uncomfortable, miserable and unhappy. Am 49 and I don't feel good or look good. I did intermittent and lost a stone in 3 weeks, I ended up in hospital had emergency surgery due to constipation I had haemorrhoids thrombosed and prolapse. Coupled with laziness I need to help myself..just venting
Thanks Doc for sharing the good health, God bless you always.
