Hi Dr. Ekberg, I hope this time you have time to see this question (not related to the subject). I insist on anaerobic exercise because I love tennis and won't stop playing it. However, I have noticed that it doesn't combine too well with OMAD keto, I get really tired during the exercise and feel lousy afterwards (normally need to sleep a bit to recover). Fortunately no cravings. But my question is: How can I optimise my performance in tennis considering OMAD? I am willing to adjust the meals during or before the tennis days, but I would like to hear your expert opinion on this. I have watched dozens of your videos but didn't see an answer to this yet. I play tennis usually in the morning, on an 18-20 hour fast since my OMAD is during lunchtime.
please DR. E could you give me a suggestion of something that replaces bread? it seems impossible to cut out the thing our body craves the most. surely you have moments in life where the big f it comes in and u partake to something out of Pandora box? it feels impossible to cut out carbs completely.. I often eat red lentil pasta instead of wheat but even that's probably more processed.. HELP X
@@neohrochester7872 make your own bread using keto friendly flours like almond, coconut, walnut, sunflower flour. You will become used to the flavor and won’t miss bread anymore. There many recipes in RUclips some very easy and even made in the stove or microwave. You will choose what adjust to your goals better. I also like having a little bread sometimes and it has helped me. I hope it works for your transition.
@@lucitac8137 thanks Lucia, yh my mah often makes that sort of bread she went keto for awhile and had loads of energy and lost mental amounts of weight.. but then she relapsed
@@julienawrocki655 Intermittent fasting has helped me greatly. I have 7-10 cups of vegetables per day, healthy fats and good quality protein. Lots of water too! If you follow Dr Ekberg’s other videos, you will learn how to best care for your body. Please remember this, we are all different and unique. What I eat each day may or may not work for you. I educated myself about nutrition, movement and mindfulness and my health is much better. Good luck to you!
Dr. Ekberg has educated me so much on the dangers of sugar and processed foods that I have shed over 60 pounds and am no longer pre-diabetic. He is a godsend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos.
Watch your gallbladder with any rapid weight loss- I lost mine after losing only 25lbs. Read Plant Paradox- you need to trust me. I loved it- and I knew nutrition very well already.
i am 67 y.o following your advice, lost 85 kilos in 10 months, and 3 years now i keep low carbs diet. no more insulin , blood pressure problems.i am almost in better condition than i was at 40.thanks for your videos
My PCP was alarmed when I started this diet in May this year because of my history of high cholesterol and a family history of heart disease. She insisted that I come back for a blood test 2 days ago. They called yesterday only a day after the test and I assumed the worst since lab tests would normally take at least a week for the results. The nurse was almost as excited as I was when she said my bad cholesterol has dropped, my very low good cholesterol has increased so that the ratio between them is now normal! All by only changing to this diet - the doctor said whatever I was doing to keep going with it! Thank-you Dr. Ekberg!!
Congrats! You are very lucky to have such a good and clever doctor, most of them stay „alarmed“ even if the results are great (and they keep telling people they should stop). Our way of eating just doesn‘t fit to what they have learned in med school.
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
Give your body a break! Don’t eat too much Don’t over do your engine Eat in moderation Say goodbye to alcohol and artificial, highly processed junk food! Hydrate Exercise! You deserve better Stay out of sugar Even if you are healthy! Practice OMAD Train your body not to eat Learn to Listen to your body
I have been following Dr. Sten Ekberg over two years. I am 67 years old T2D but thanks to Dr. Ekberg no need for medication any more. I am in better condition than 30-40 years ago. I have extra energy to use. I use it for walking. One marathon every week (6*7km = 42km) plus some high hill HIITs. All the better life just following the guidelines of Dr. Ekberg, which he so clearly explains. Dear Dr. Ekberg you should deserve Nobel price for healing people.
I've lost about 31 pounds of fat in 3 months doing mostly low/no carbs. The transformation truly is miraculous. I'm 6.3 feet tall and I dropped from 233lbs to my current 202lbs and it's still going down. I've done mostly OMAD and done 4 2-3 day fasts. I do get some baked goods and hot chocolate in me almost every weekend so I'm not super strict about it whitch helps a lot. Seeing your videos and some others from Jason Fung (even though he is more of a fasting specialist) has really changed my life for the better so THNK YOU Dr Sten Ekberg. :)Edit: Oh and btw I'm 40yo.
The dynamic metabolic very comfortable dietary approach is from Don Duchane I have his bible. Fits all superstars & became secret. Find out who Don Duchane was first.
Dr Ekberg, you are an amazing human being. thank you for saving my life I am following you since January 2021. I went from 250lb to 145 today, my goal is 130 lb ( IF+ KETO). Thank you very very much.
Dr. Ekberg, if I ever meet you in person, I would give you a tight hug and say thanks a million for changing my life. I feel I’m extending my life every time I choose the right food for my body. Thank you , thank you , thank you 🙏🏽!!!
I would like to take the time to thank you for helping me to change my life for the better. Four months ago I watched one of your videos and because of your wonderful relaxed delivery I soon watched many more and learned of the healthy keto lifestyle. Even at age 70 this has been the most positive health benefit I have ever received. Thank You so very much Dr Sten Eckberg.
Me too, lost almost 10 kg of fat and still going without effort, thanks Sten we love our new lifestyle. Simply amazing. My wife was skeptical she started too a month ago and loving it!
Unfortunately, many unhealthy ingredients of processed foods are put into it because they are cheap alternatives, induce cravings or prolong shelf life.
@@drekberg What is your opinion on Quark/Milk Curd? It can have a very high protein content, though I don't know how it's processed, but everywhere I see it recommended. I didn't see any dairy listed in your best healthy foods video, though I would consider some cheeses and yoghurts as worthy of replacing the avocado category, which could join the oils category along with olives. Thanks so much for your time, I really appreciate your videos and insight, and would love to hear your feedback. Go well.
This is quite frankly the best channel on You Tube. What he says WORKS! I'm down to 254 pounds from a high of 297. I'm 6'3" to put that into context. Body fat percentage is down from 27% to 19.5% with 3 years taken off my metabolic age. Meanwhile skeletal muscle & bone density are both up. My blood pressure which used to be obscenity high at 175/115 is now a spot on 120/80 and even lower when I'm relaxed. Dr. E. is a real & true asset to mankind.
😢 My poor body. Please forgive me. I have been lied to, I have been willfully ignorant and you are a miracle: please forgive me; I will do better. Thank you Dr. Stern Ekberg. You are a blessing.
All of the foods we've been told for decades are safe and recommended for good health are absolutely killing us all slowly. I've spent one month following your guidance as well as a couple others and I feel like I'm back in my twenties. Amazing what a minor change in diet and completely eliminating sugars did for my body.
No the food recommendations are not killing us... Its the amount of food we are eating that are killing us. T2 diabetes doesnt come from eating carps or anything in particular. the excess bodyfat is the sinner.. 90% of people doesnt even follow the recommendations...
April 11th I was diagnosed with diabetes at 12.6 A1C. In 2020 i weighed 239 lbs and at the hospital on 4/11 I weighed 209. My 4 basic rules to my diet are NO 1)Sugar, 2)Steaks (fatty red meat), 3) fast food, 4) fried food. I eat salmon twice a week, a shrimp or scallop dinner once a week (sometimes with a sugar free sauce), LOTS of chicken dishes and LOTS of veggies. In addition, I take a raw tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil daily in the morning, a glass of apple cider vinegar with water before dinner and a cup of hibiscus tea with cinnamon around 9pm. Also, i incorporated a lot of garlic into my diet. On August 1, my A1C was down to 5.6 and I now weigh 188 lbs. i am off one of my diabetes medications to see how i react and will have my next A1C next February
Excellent. You can pay Dr $150 for a visit or see a dietitian and not learn a 10th of what is in these videos. It’s almost like being paid to watch them.Thank you for helping us get healthy and stay healthy.
Hi Dr. Ekburg, I love your videos! I’m 58, was 208lbs. 6’2” , A1c at 5.6 8 months ago, family history of diabetes and cancer. I got diagnosed w/prostate cancer (Gleason 6) 4 months ago, since then I found you on YT and began a low, low carb diet. I’ve lost 30 lbs., I’ve cut out beer & mixed drinks, only a little red wine w/dinner, 24 to 48 hr fasts, no more honey, no candy or deserts (not that I ate any before) very little bread, pasta, rice or fruit. I’m feeling great, gonna keep this up, and do another PSA in 3 months. Since cancer loves sugar hopefully I can keep it at bay and not have to get my guts cut out! I’ll keep you posted on my progress, good health to all of you out there!👍🏻 Thank you!
I am not Diabetic, but I adhere to low glucose eating on my Keto diet. I check ingredients on nutrition labels ALL THE TIME. Things that are marketed as Keto still contain ingredients that can spike blood sugar. I don't understand how or why anyone would consume such things. If your insulin spikes then you get kicked out of Ketosis. It's best to stick to clean Keto and watch very carefully for any ingredients in Keto products.
I'm a medical assistant. A pre-diabetic patient comes for a follow up and says he's changed his diet, as doctor advised....And eats home made tortillas and lots of fruit and vegetables, including 5 bananas daily. I spent half an hour explaining things to him. I think I might get fired soon for educating patients, because I can't keep quiet!
I was hospitalized for hyperglycemia and they fed me mashed potatoes, bread, and juice at the hospital. I was confused, but they said, "this fits in your low carb diet". Ha ha, doesn't fit now that I'm 10 g a day and my meter tells me I have the blood glucose levels that I did when I was 20.
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
I would agree with all of that EXCEPT berries. I have been a type 1 diabetic my entire life, I put berries in my protein smoothie every morning, I get NO sugar spike (I wear a continuous glucose monitor with alarms so I know when my glucose is spiking or falling). In fact, the days I DON'T use berries (usually blueberries) I have to use more insulin throughout the day; berries seem to make me more insulin sensitive (perhaps the phytochemicals and fiber?). Not only do blueberries have a low glycemic index and low glycemic load, they are high in antioxidants, anthocyanins, polyphenols and have resveratrol in them. So, I eat berries every day and my 6 month A1C is always less than 4.9.
I lost forty pounds in three months by doing one meal a day for a month then alternating between one and two meals a day. I did all I could to avoid as much sugar ad l could. As a side note; not everybody will be overly thrilled when you Begin to strengthen your inner person ☝️
That's too rapid. Watch out for your gallbladder- lost mine doing nearly the same but I only lost 25lbs. I did it right- or so I thought by eating right and jogging. I did it gradually over 1.5 years. Rapid weight loss like what you did is mostly bad- sorry to tell you. It's not just about appearance. It's about health.
You were born to be a teacher! You are so talented explaining complicated things in a very easy to understand way. Thank you very much for your dedication ❤🎉😊
I wish I knew this stuff years ago, but luckily I changed in time to get super healthy. 2 years of Keto and I am still getting healthier. I'm 70 with BMI of 21, I'm ripped.
Regarding fruits and berries: I avoid grapes, mangos and bananas. I eat plenty of blueberries though, recommended for diabetics by every dietician and doctor I've spoken to here in Norway. I'm sure it applies to Swedes as well😊
I am going on 54 and your video means a lot to me. Thanks you for helping me understand and giving good health tips. I was very stress out for 28 years. Now it's starting to make sense.
Hello DR Ekberg. I'm 71 years old and just completed 7day fast. No hunger issues (slight on day 3), but beginning late on day 4 I began to have a mild but annoying stomach ache which persisted. Finally on day 8 I had a small keto meal, which helped. I was not feeling hungry at all and wanted to continue the fast. What might be the problem?
following you from australia for a while enjoy you take , i was diagnosed with 7.0 type 2 , in may2021 ,lost 10 kilo , try and keep away from sugar , and bad food , apple cider vinegar , diluted , sipping off and on all day , with straw to save teeth , i am 73 have health issues , no alcohol thanks , for your help , drink tea and coffee , commonsense rules. its up to the individual to help them selves . last blood test , nothing high, thanks again . alan
Great list, I'll try to avoid these for sure! I have never had problems with my weight. I could eat whatever I wanted and still maintain normal weight, but a lot of junk food recently really affected my health. Diet plan from Dietarize contains delicious and nutritionally rich foods your body, brain and heart will love. It's definitely worth trying.
Very informative sessions. I apply them and they are just working fine for me. I managed to get rid of processed sugar. Inflammation has reduced tremendously.
Thank You @essentialinformer so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Now when shopping at market, some unhealty foods want to catch my attention... and then i´m hearing Dr. Ekberg´s: "it´s full of sugar" ...turn arround and rush to the vegetables section... thanks Doc!
18 years ago I developed T2 Diabetes immediately after a kidney transplant, which was caused by one of the anti-rejection drugs. This is one of the best explanations I've yet seen on WHY we need to avoid certain foods. The section on fat-free foods was especially enlightening.
So good to have such an indepth explanation of diabetes, I didn't know the liver was involved. I have avoided the terrible affliction by eating small portions of what I eat which is just about all foods. I don't drink hardly at all cause I feel drunk with one sip lol. I do smoke pot to calm my nerves. I do tend to gravitate towards sugar when hungry but have done well with that also. I'm 52, and when I was 8, I saw my aunt put her needle in her leg with such force, it traumatized me. She then said we would have to do it when we got older, but I responded with a oh not me attitude and ran outside to walk, and that along with the aforementioned, has kept me free of the needle! Thank you for the info!
Mom is in a nursing home and is a type 2 diabetic, well the nursing home serves starches, cakes and cookies and also brings around an afternoon chips “snack “ cart oh and some days alcoholic drinks with dinner ! Ok when I asked about this I was told that this is allowed because they adjust Mom’s insulin as needed per new guidelines
I try to walk an average of 2 miles a day as work schedule just isn't feasible. Fasting changed my life. I eat 1 meal a day and fast for ~16 hours. Your body get's use to it. What makes it worst is snacking. That just makes me more hungry.
Wow, you probably saved my life, thank you. Now I am without sugar about 6 weeks. "Without" means, instead 200g/daily of sugar before(I didn´t know, I was consuming that large quantities) , I am consuming about 20g/daily. And for this 6 weeks it happened a lot: a)from my "normal" blood presure 150/95, I am now on average 125/75. b) from 95kg, I am now on 86kg. c)ten years I had poor liver results, now, the first time in history, I had it perfect normal. Update: I forgot to write: 6 weeks ago I also increased my daily steps from 8,000 to 10,000, and using 18/6 eating method. Btw, I am 43yo and feeling great, and of course I don´t take any drugs for blood pressure or for liver.
Fructoze doesn't suppress Ghrelin.... this is HUGE! Thank you Doctor. The lecture, as always, is super legible and understandable, even for people for whom English is a second or third language.
Yes, he takes complex topics and makes it understandable. And his English is well enunciated, spoken slowly enough without ridiculous English idioms. He would make a good person to listen to I if you are learning English. I have found his equivalent in Spanish that I listen to. :-)
@@cellgrrl Nice :-) You could type here name of this channel you use for learning Spanish. I am sure some people will benefit from it Let's help each others in others areas of life, not only in health. :-)
@@GreyDeathVaccine Okay, since this is a request, I will with the blessings of Dr. Ekberg. First, I want to credit " Español con Juan" for being my primary Spanish teacher who got me to where I am now. He is in fact, a teacher of Spanish and is from Spain, not Latin America which is a very different thing. But the health teacher such as Dr. Eckberg, is "Edgar Barrionuevo" also a Spaniard who has no idea that he is being used to teach me Spanish. LOL Have fun Spanish speakers!
Can't get enough of your video's. Thank you so much. Very informative and delivered in a way that is easy to understand and compelling to put into practice!
Almost 4 months and lost almost 40 lbs on OMAD/vegetarian clean keto. I’m here after I got the results of my metabolic panel. For the first time in a long time I got *all* my numbers in the normal ranges (esp AST, ALT) and well in the middle of the range. I am so thrilled to not have that axe over my neck any more. Now I gotta work on keeping that off!
I followed Dr. Ekberg Intermittent fasting advice. I only ate 2MAD. Aamazing I lost 9 kg of weight within 2 months. Which I suffered for years already going to the gym but I cant rid of excess belly fat. but now great.
I ve recently discovered this holistic doctor & I am so hooked😂 He is the best teacher & the way he explains all things about health is amazing. He is engaging & you can only follow him once you ve watched a single video. He has irresistible charm & good energy & I am sure he heals many easily especially women😂🤣
charm isn't science. read the plant paradox- written by a Yale MD- he has plenty of charm as well and I'll bet you a dollar that my guy is smarter than your guy!
@@duststorm7287 look for a greenish tint and educate your palate. That's the best advice I can give you in order to make the best decision in your particular circumstances. I'll stick with my favorite and feel good about it because I think it's the most delicious honestly. I've had real pure olive oil before made in a village. Is anything in the store better than actual homemade? hardly. If you have access to such a product, you are very lucky indeed. I can assure you one thing, the olive oil I use is not rancid. 😂
To all you type 2 diabetics. Do what this Dr. says. Pretty soon there will be no more foam (sugar) in your urine. You will actually feel like exercising and you will become more and more alert and less groggy/sleepy everyday. You will urinate 1/2 as much and not be thirsty all the time. 18-6. No carbs, high fat (like macadamia nuts) and eliminate sugar completely. Its actually easy once you start and becomes easier all the time.
Diabetes runs in my family, so I been keeping an eye on what I eat and drink these days. On holidays I might have drinks like a Mike's Lemonade and call it a day.

It’s beyond informative, it’s affirmative! The first time ever I’ve had a baked gluten free muffin sweetened with agave syrup, I’ve gotten so dizzy I almost fell over… and I was young-ish and healthy then. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!
Dr E, you are amazing!!!! I just had my bloodwork done. My HDL is 74, which is fabulous! My Triglycerides went from 123 to 83, which is fabulous, BUT my HDL went from 115 to 148. The only thing I’ve been eating is heavy whipping cream (daily), bananas and butter. What has caused my LDL to increase so much?
My A1C was 5.8 so I gave up rice, potatoes, pasta and bread and have lost a lot of weight in just 4 weeks. Will NEVER give up apples, beans or red wine!
make your own dressing. I make it with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and it comes out pretty good. On rare occasion I'll add a tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar just to twist the flavor a little bit.
Once sentence that stopped me in my tracks several decades ago that I have since lived by (except for special occasions) "Don't drink your calories". You can never go wrong with fresh filtered water.
But can you drink carbonated water / seltzer? And would adding a squeeze of fresh lemon be OK? I like to flavor my fizzy waters, but if you drink a few throughout the day I am concerned the sugar could be adding up!
Dr. Sten Ekberg, I am a big fan of your informative work on youtube. Unlike others, you just don't answer the what aspects of the problem but also address the why aspects. .
Your info along with other utubers & Dr Fung's book The Obesity Code. Has helped lower my A1C from 5.9 to 5.2 along with losing 74lbs in less than a year doing keto/low carb eating clean healthy food. Also walk/cycle 5x wk. Along with lifting wgts 2x wk. I feel so energetic & happy. No more joint aches & pain. Thank you Dr Ekberg for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, this one was so useful! While I loved the white boards in previous videos, the production value on this one is excellent. Being able to see the pictures, and the graphs, and the visuals was really helpful to me as I continue to try to reverse my diabetes. I realized there are a couple things that I'm still consuming that I was thinking were okay, and they just aren't. Thank you once again for an amazing lesson.
As a type 1 diabetic, fresh berries are essential to me in small doses as they require very little insulin to control them and are some of the only fruit I can enjoy.
He is the kind of American you should be proud of and also should be proud that people all over the World listen to him, I know I do. I would say he is a US national treasure, he looks to be kind and gentle and only interested in seeing the health of the people all over the World improve through education and knowledge, there aren't many people like him.
Thank you Rick Larson for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄

Look up the glycemic index of all the foods you normally eat.Pay attention to the glycemic load and this should helps.A calorie is not a clorie ,so don't base your diet on calories
Food addiction is worse than any other kind because you could stop drugs or smoking, etc but you always have to eat again and triggers the addiction again.
I rly like the emphasis on what a healthy metabolic body can do versus a non healthy body (occasional rice or couple of tablespoons of honey etc). This is the true meaning of “moderation” -you must have a healthy metabolism first. Some people make that moderation mistake before they’re healthy.
I have been following you for 8 weeks and have gone from 130kg to 119 and feel fantastic, all of my old injuries don't hurt anymore. I do OMAD 5 days a week and have done one 48hr fast with no issues. Thank you so much. Question. Diatomaceous Earth. What is your advice?
Great presentation with very good graphics. I like the "metabolic spectrum" green-to-red graphic and how you use it to distinguish between how the metabolically healthy handle carbs differently than the insulin sensitive then pre-diabetic then type 2 diabetic.
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
Thank You, Dr. Ekberg. 💐 I’ve quit eating so many foods - because of you - and am feeling stronger every day. 😌 You are BRILLIANT, the BEST doctor on RUclips and we appreciate and love you MUCH ! 💖🤗💖 Wishing You & Your Subscribers a SAFE & WONDERFUL weekend ! 😎
Plenty of food and herbs that are delicious and more filling than any of the crap I used to eat. Recently diagnosed with a saddle pulmonary emulision and sugar was thru the roof, mainly because of what I ate. I'm now eating 1-2 a day in a 5 hour time frame and haven't had this much energy it 20 years. They'll come a time that I adjust my diet but won't compromise real food for crap of I can possibly help it.
After a month of no carbs and sugar you’re not going to want that stuff anymore. I go down those aisles with ease now. Your taste buds change I love salad and tomato’s are kind of sweet now and I used to hate tomato’s
I continue to to try to follow your advice Dr.Ekberg. Only about 7 weeks into trying to be low carb and high fat. I haven't lost a lot of weight yet but I do feel more energetic and more awake than I have in years. Something tells me I am on the right track. Thank you for these great videos for knowledge and inspiration!
You probably have a leaky gut so you are not ABSORBING the quality fats and proteins- despite eating them. Work on your GUT health- this is HUGE. You would surely benefit by reading The Plant Paradox. Hopefully you also cut out Fruit, Whole Grains and Lectins. It's all in the book- he is a Yale grad- MD. You'll see- it will help you.
@@rodneyh1947 no I am not. I have lost 70 lbs in total and am trying to lose a few more through intermittent fasting. Feeling better than I have in years!
Hello doctor Ekberg or anyone else Can someone tell me if the water la croix is okay to drink when you are on keto diet because I love this water. Thank you
Yes, they are perfectly fine. 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugar. It doesn't even have artificial sweeteners. I think only water has a better label. I'm not credentialed about this but it's easy
Thank You Marie Furaha. I haven't used it and I haven't tested it. It should be fine. Sometimes they use synthetic flavoring instead of natural essential oils. 😄
wanted to thank you for the information you give in these videos. Many who have this type of information would give only snippets that pique interest and serve to direct the viewer to a very expensive program or workshop. You have provided access to information that anyone can access and follow, regardless of income. Here in the United States, this is unheard of. You need to be nominated for an award due to your service to everyone who has watched your videos and took in your life-changing advice. Many people might argue and say "well, how is eating grass-fed meat and pasture raised butter" accessible? What I have found as someone for whom money is an issue is that I eat FAR less eating this way- which means my spending on food is actually LESS.- because I am NOT hungry all the time and having to eat processed garbage every two or three hours-and as we all well know now, the quality of that garbage "food" is getting even WORSE and costing more. Now, a plate of pasture-raised eggs cooked in butter with a couple of herbs will fill me for almost the entire day. Literally, changing the eggs helped SO much. So are the eggs more? Yes. But if it makes me eat less for the entire day, then it is worth it. Also, you are not charging money for this information- meaning that people have the money to spend on the healthier diet rather than on getting more information from you. Again, I want to tell you that you should truly be commended for this information and how you present it. Another thing I've noticed is what you mention about stress. I notice if I I get really stressed about something, no matter what I've eaten or not eaten, I get hungry.---which further underscores your point about STRESS MANAGEMENT- which now that I got most of my diet in line seems to be what I need to work on next. I am finding out more about being truly "holistic"--how everything is interconnected and understanding it better. Yes, it is stress-eating, but it's a response to an increase in hunger hormone triggered by cortisol rather than an uncontrollable urge to stuff my face in response to the hardships of life. Just knowing that makes a huge difference in how I handle it. Being able to give something a name and a reason makes a HUGE difference.

Hi Dr. Ekberg, I hope this time you have time to see this question (not related to the subject). I insist on anaerobic exercise because I love tennis and won't stop playing it. However, I have noticed that it doesn't combine too well with OMAD keto, I get really tired during the exercise and feel lousy afterwards (normally need to sleep a bit to recover). Fortunately no cravings. But my question is: How can I optimise my performance in tennis considering OMAD? I am willing to adjust the meals during or before the tennis days, but I would like to hear your expert opinion on this. I have watched dozens of your videos but didn't see an answer to this yet.
I play tennis usually in the morning, on an 18-20 hour fast since my OMAD is during lunchtime.
Good morning sir
Can you please make a video about sparkling water I really like your video and also follow you guidelines.☺☺
please DR. E could you give me a suggestion of something that replaces bread? it seems impossible to cut out the thing our body craves the most. surely you have moments in life where the big f it comes in and u partake to something out of Pandora box? it feels impossible to cut out carbs completely.. I often eat red lentil pasta instead of wheat but even that's probably more processed.. HELP X
@@neohrochester7872 make your own bread using keto friendly flours like almond, coconut, walnut, sunflower flour. You will become used to the flavor and won’t miss bread anymore. There many recipes in RUclips some very easy and even made in the stove or microwave. You will choose what adjust to your goals better. I also like having a little bread sometimes and it has helped me. I hope it works for your transition.
@@lucitac8137 thanks Lucia, yh my mah often makes that sort of bread she went keto for awhile and had loads of energy and lost mental amounts of weight.. but then she relapsed
I removed sugar, grain, starch, processed food and drink water all day. I have been off of all diabetic medication for 5 years and feel great!
Plz @Karen Cassel I would love to know also what your daily diet consists of 👍
@@julienawrocki655 Intermittent fasting has helped me greatly.
I have 7-10 cups of vegetables per day, healthy fats and good quality protein. Lots of water too!
If you follow Dr Ekberg’s other videos, you will learn how to best care for your body. Please remember this, we are all different and unique. What I eat each day may or may not work for you. I educated myself about nutrition, movement and mindfulness and my health is much better. Good luck to you!

How about when they force u to take medication to keep your driver's licence, because your blood sugar is a little high?
Type 1 or type 2
Dr. Ekberg has educated me so much on the dangers of sugar and processed foods that I have shed over 60 pounds and am no longer pre-diabetic. He is a godsend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos.
Watch your gallbladder with any rapid weight loss- I lost mine after losing only 25lbs. Read Plant Paradox- you need to trust me. I loved it- and I knew nutrition very well already.

My PCP was alarmed when I started this diet in May this year because of my history of high cholesterol and a family history of heart disease. She insisted that I come back for a blood test 2 days ago. They called yesterday only a day after the test and I assumed the worst since lab tests would normally take at least a week for the results. The nurse was almost as excited as I was when she said my bad cholesterol has dropped, my very low good cholesterol has increased so that the ratio between them is now normal! All by only changing to this diet - the doctor said whatever I was doing to keep going with it! Thank-you Dr. Ekberg!!
@defenestrationfan 😆 love your name! Is it a band or do you just like to chuck things out of windows?
Congrats I'm so happy for you!! 🙏🥰🥰🥰
I hope that you showed your doctor your new diet so that he/she could learn something new.
Congratulations!! Do you have the so called carb cheat meal's? Ty
Congrats! You are very lucky to have such a good and clever doctor, most of them stay „alarmed“ even if the results are great (and they keep telling people they should stop). Our way of eating just doesn‘t fit to what they have learned in med school.

I have been following Dr. Sten Ekberg over two years. I am 67 years old T2D but thanks to Dr. Ekberg no need for medication any more. I am in better condition than 30-40 years ago. I have extra energy to use. I use it for walking. One marathon every week (6*7km = 42km) plus some high hill HIITs. All the better life just following the guidelines of Dr. Ekberg, which he so clearly explains. Dear Dr. Ekberg you should deserve Nobel price for healing people.
I've lost about 31 pounds of fat in 3 months doing mostly low/no carbs. The transformation truly is miraculous. I'm 6.3 feet tall and I dropped from 233lbs to my current 202lbs and it's still going down. I've done mostly OMAD and done 4 2-3 day fasts. I do get some baked goods and hot chocolate in me almost every weekend so I'm not super strict about it whitch helps a lot. Seeing your videos and some others from Jason Fung (even though he is more of a fasting specialist) has really changed my life for the better so THNK YOU Dr Sten Ekberg. :)Edit: Oh and btw I'm 40yo.
Congratulations 🎉
Well done!!
The dynamic metabolic very comfortable dietary approach is from Don Duchane I have his bible.
Fits all superstars & became secret.
Find out who Don Duchane was first.
Carbs can be anabolic but only on very short time, 1 to 1.5 day .IGF is better than groth hormone.
Congratulations!
God bless you Dr.we reversed the situation of my 72yr grandfather with the keto diet and IF and 15mins walk. Now normal levels.
Thank you
Dr Ekberg, you are an amazing human being. thank you for saving my life I am following you since January 2021. I went from 250lb to 145 today, my goal is 130 lb ( IF+ KETO). Thank you very very much.
Dr. Ekberg, if I ever meet you in person, I would give you a tight hug and say thanks a million for changing my life. I feel I’m extending my life every time I choose the right food for my body. Thank you , thank you , thank you 🙏🏽!!!
💞🫂💞👏👏👏👏🍀🌈🍀
I would like to take the time to thank you for helping me to change my life for the better. Four months ago I watched one of your videos and because of your wonderful relaxed delivery I soon watched many more and learned of the healthy keto lifestyle. Even at age 70 this has been the most positive health benefit I have ever received.
Thank You so very much Dr Sten Eckberg.
Lovely comment

Me too, lost almost 10 kg of fat and still going without effort, thanks Sten we love our new lifestyle. Simply amazing. My wife was skeptical she started too a month ago and loving it!
Well said.

Hi Dr Ekberg. I've used your 30 days vegetable diet and my sugar level is 5.7 and my blood pressure is 114/77 yes I agree with it it works wonders
It appears that more we process a food more we spoil it.
Thank You Ace Leaf. Absolutely. I've said that many times. 😄
Unfortunately, many unhealthy ingredients of processed foods are put into it because they are cheap alternatives, induce cravings or prolong shelf life.
@@drekberg What is your opinion on Quark/Milk Curd?
It can have a very high protein content, though I don't know how it's processed, but everywhere I see it recommended. I didn't see any dairy listed in your best healthy foods video, though I would consider some cheeses and yoghurts as worthy of replacing the avocado category, which could join the oils category along with olives.
Thanks so much for your time, I really appreciate your videos and insight, and would love to hear your feedback. Go well.

This is quite frankly the best channel on You Tube. What he says WORKS! I'm down to 254 pounds from a high of 297. I'm 6'3" to put that into context. Body fat percentage is down from 27% to 19.5% with 3 years taken off my metabolic age. Meanwhile skeletal muscle & bone density are both up. My blood pressure which used to be obscenity high at 175/115 is now a spot on 120/80 and even lower when I'm relaxed. Dr. E. is a real & true asset to mankind.
This is great news! Keep it up

Im on Keto. Just had another A1C. The last one was 6.0 an this one was 5.8...very happy and lost 50 lbs.
All of the foods we've been told for decades are safe and recommended for good health are absolutely killing us all slowly. I've spent one month following your guidance as well as a couple others and I feel like I'm back in my twenties. Amazing what a minor change in diet and completely eliminating sugars did for my body.
Ĵ7
No the food recommendations are not killing us... Its the amount of food we are eating that are killing us. T2 diabetes doesnt come from eating carps or anything in particular. the excess bodyfat is the sinner.. 90% of people doesnt even follow the recommendations...
Thanks
April 11th I was diagnosed with diabetes at 12.6 A1C. In 2020 i weighed 239 lbs and at the hospital on 4/11 I weighed 209. My 4 basic rules to my diet are NO 1)Sugar, 2)Steaks (fatty red meat), 3) fast food, 4) fried food. I eat salmon twice a week, a shrimp or scallop dinner once a week (sometimes with a sugar free sauce), LOTS of chicken dishes and LOTS of veggies. In addition, I take a raw tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil daily in the morning, a glass of apple cider vinegar with water before dinner and a cup of hibiscus tea with cinnamon around 9pm. Also, i incorporated a lot of garlic into my diet. On August 1, my A1C was down to 5.6 and I now weigh 188 lbs. i am off one of my diabetes medications to see how i react and will have my next A1C next February
Congratulations 🎉
Good job!
How's it going now?
That is great! How do you manage to drink that glass of vinegar and water? I can't stand the stuff. How strong is your mix, what amounts?
@@Ronald-e8b Actually quite easily. I enjoy the flavor of the vinegar water. I just use one overflowing tbsp with about 10-12 oz of water
Excellent. You can pay Dr $150 for a visit or see a dietitian and not learn a 10th of what is in these videos. It’s almost like being paid to watch them.Thank you for helping us get healthy and stay healthy.
I couldn't agree more. I have paid nutritionists for their professional advice. It was never this informative.
😂😢
Hi Dr. Ekburg, I love your videos! I’m 58, was 208lbs. 6’2” , A1c at 5.6 8 months ago, family history of diabetes and cancer. I got diagnosed w/prostate cancer (Gleason 6) 4 months ago, since then I found you on YT and began a low, low carb diet. I’ve lost 30 lbs., I’ve cut out beer & mixed drinks, only a little red wine w/dinner, 24 to 48 hr fasts, no more honey, no candy or deserts (not that I ate any before) very little bread, pasta, rice or fruit. I’m feeling great, gonna keep this up, and do another PSA in 3 months. Since cancer loves sugar hopefully I can keep it at bay and not have to get my guts cut out! I’ll keep you posted on my progress, good health to all of you out there!👍🏻 Thank you!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi. It's been a year. How are you doing? Please update us!
I pray you are doing well. ❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️
Hope your doing well Cali Kurt!!
I am not Diabetic, but I adhere to low glucose eating on my Keto diet. I check ingredients on nutrition labels ALL THE TIME. Things that are marketed as Keto still contain ingredients that can spike blood sugar. I don't understand how or why anyone would consume such things. If your insulin spikes then you get kicked out of Ketosis. It's best to stick to clean Keto and watch very carefully for any ingredients in Keto products.
These videos are outstanding. Sound advice that is easy to implement and that will result in tremendous benefits for your body. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
There's quite a few channels that have outstanding information, but Dr. Ekberg is my go-to health and fitness channel. He's the best.
@@throatgorge2 Could you be more elaborate on these other channels, please. :-)
According to this guy you can't eat anything
@@GreyDeathVaccine I personally listen to Robert Lustig I recommend his latest book Metabolical and also listen to Pradip Jamandas.
@@allaboutdiy3858 you can eat all the healthy foods stay away from sugar and refined carbs
The food industry has an awful lot to answer for. WAKE UP America.
But people should take responsibility for what they put in their cake holes.
I'm a medical assistant. A pre-diabetic patient comes for a follow up and says he's changed his diet, as doctor advised....And eats home made tortillas and lots of fruit and vegetables, including 5 bananas daily. I spent half an hour explaining things to him. I think I might get fired soon for educating patients, because I can't keep quiet!
Well done :-) 5 bananas... :|
Hope not.
I was hospitalized for hyperglycemia and they fed me mashed potatoes, bread, and juice at the hospital. I was confused, but they said, "this fits in your low carb diet". Ha ha, doesn't fit now that I'm 10 g a day and my meter tells me I have the blood glucose levels that I did when I was 20.
@@AuspexAO In what world is that low carb?! 😅
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
I would agree with all of that EXCEPT berries. I have been a type 1 diabetic my entire life, I put berries in my protein smoothie every morning, I get NO sugar spike (I wear a continuous glucose monitor with alarms so I know when my glucose is spiking or falling). In fact, the days I DON'T use berries (usually blueberries) I have to use more insulin throughout the day; berries seem to make me more insulin sensitive (perhaps the phytochemicals and fiber?). Not only do blueberries have a low glycemic index and low glycemic load, they are high in antioxidants, anthocyanins, polyphenols and have resveratrol in them. So, I eat berries every day and my 6 month A1C is always less than 4.9.
You’re doing awesome. I’ve heard about berries being good for diabetics.
he says berries are the best fruits. Watch again from minute 5 with 25 seconds
I lost forty pounds in three months by doing one meal a day for a month then alternating between one and two meals a day. I did all I could to avoid as much sugar ad l could. As a side note; not everybody will be overly thrilled when you Begin to strengthen your inner person ☝️
👏
Sounds like you have an interesting story with someone who was not supportive.
F**k them! Be thrilled for YOU. If they prefer you weak in any way, leave them behind.

That's too rapid. Watch out for your gallbladder- lost mine doing nearly the same but I only lost 25lbs. I did it right- or so I thought by eating right and jogging. I did it gradually over 1.5 years. Rapid weight loss like what you did is mostly bad- sorry to tell you. It's not just about appearance. It's about health.
You were born to be a teacher! You are so talented explaining complicated things in a very easy to understand way. Thank you very much for your dedication ❤🎉😊
I wish I knew this stuff years ago, but luckily I changed in time to get super healthy. 2 years of Keto and I am still getting healthier. I'm 70 with BMI of 21, I'm ripped.
good attitude.
Regarding fruits and berries: I avoid grapes, mangos and bananas. I eat plenty of blueberries though, recommended for diabetics by every dietician and doctor I've spoken to here in Norway. I'm sure it applies to Swedes as well😊
I am going on 54 and your video means a lot to me. Thanks you for helping me understand and giving good health tips. I was very stress out for 28 years. Now it's starting to make sense.
Good lord, you’re killing me. Everything you pointed out is in my pantry. I’m going to have to throw it all out and start again.
God bless you Dr. Ekberg, thank you for these valuable insights with potential for positive changes in daily life.
Hello DR Ekberg. I'm 71 years old and just completed 7day fast. No hunger issues (slight on day 3), but beginning late on day 4 I began to have a mild but annoying stomach ache which persisted. Finally on day 8 I had a small keto meal, which helped. I was not feeling hungry at all and wanted to continue the fast. What might be the problem?
Real education at min cost. A few minutes that could change lives.
Many thanks.

Sugar should be a banned substance.
Great list, I'll try to avoid these for sure! I have never had problems with my weight. I could eat whatever I wanted and still maintain normal weight, but a lot of junk food recently really affected my health. Diet plan from Dietarize contains delicious and nutritionally rich foods your body, brain and heart will love. It's definitely worth trying.
Very informative sessions. I apply them and they are just working fine for me. I managed to get rid of processed sugar. Inflammation has reduced tremendously.
Thanks!

Now when shopping at market, some unhealty foods want to catch my attention... and then i´m hearing Dr. Ekberg´s: "it´s full of sugar" ...turn arround and rush to the vegetables section... thanks Doc!
18 years ago I developed T2 Diabetes immediately after a kidney transplant, which was caused by one of the anti-rejection drugs. This is one of the best explanations I've yet seen on WHY we need to avoid certain foods. The section on fat-free foods was especially enlightening.
So good to have such an indepth explanation of diabetes, I didn't know the liver was involved. I have avoided the terrible affliction by eating small portions of what I eat which is just about all foods. I don't drink hardly at all cause I feel drunk with one sip lol. I do smoke pot to calm my nerves. I do tend to gravitate towards sugar when hungry but have done well with that also. I'm 52, and when I was 8, I saw my aunt put her needle in her leg with such force, it traumatized me. She then said we would have to do it when we got older, but I responded with a oh not me attitude and ran outside to walk, and that along with the aforementioned, has kept me free of the needle! Thank you for the info!
Mom is in a nursing home and is a type 2 diabetic, well the nursing home serves starches, cakes and cookies and also brings around an afternoon chips “snack “ cart oh and some days alcoholic drinks with dinner ! Ok when I asked about this I was told that this is allowed because they adjust Mom’s insulin as needed per new guidelines
I try to walk an average of 2 miles a day as work schedule just isn't feasible. Fasting changed my life. I eat 1 meal a day and fast for ~16 hours. Your body get's use to it. What makes it worst is snacking. That just makes me more hungry.
How do you eat 1 meal a day and fast for 16 hours? Do you take 8 hour to eat one meal?
Wow, you probably saved my life, thank you. Now I am without sugar about 6 weeks. "Without" means, instead 200g/daily of sugar before(I didn´t know, I was consuming that large quantities) , I am consuming about 20g/daily. And for this 6 weeks it happened a lot: a)from my "normal" blood presure 150/95, I am now on average 125/75. b) from 95kg, I am now on 86kg. c)ten years I had poor liver results, now, the first time in history, I had it perfect normal. Update: I forgot to write: 6 weeks ago I also increased my daily steps from 8,000 to 10,000, and using 18/6 eating method. Btw, I am 43yo and feeling great, and of course I don´t take any drugs for blood pressure or for liver.
What kind of foods have you been eating?
Mainly beef, vegetables and dairy@@Lee-he2qp

Beautiful lesson. Just beautiful. If knowledge can be beautiful, this is it!
Can't get enough of your video's. Thank you so much. Very informative and delivered in a way that is easy to understand and compelling to put into practice!
Almost 4 months and lost almost 40 lbs on OMAD/vegetarian clean keto. I’m here after I got the results of my metabolic panel. For the first time in a long time I got *all* my numbers in the normal ranges (esp AST, ALT) and well in the middle of the range. I am so thrilled to not have that axe over my neck any more. Now I gotta work on keeping that off!

To all you type 2 diabetics. Do what this Dr. says. Pretty soon there will be no more foam (sugar) in your urine. You will actually feel like exercising and you will become more and more alert and less groggy/sleepy everyday. You will urinate 1/2 as much and not be thirsty all the time. 18-6. No carbs, high fat (like macadamia nuts) and eliminate sugar completely. Its actually easy once you start and becomes easier all the time.
Diabetes runs in my family, so I been keeping an eye on what I eat and drink these days. On holidays I might have drinks like a Mike's Lemonade and call it a day.

It’s beyond informative, it’s affirmative! The first time ever I’ve had a baked gluten free muffin sweetened with agave syrup, I’ve gotten so dizzy I almost fell over… and I was young-ish and healthy then. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!
You might be hypoglycemic- look into it with your doc. Read Plant Paradox if you want to really learn.
Dr E, you are amazing!!!! I just had my bloodwork done. My HDL is 74, which is fabulous! My Triglycerides went from 123 to 83, which is fabulous, BUT my HDL went from 115 to 148. The only thing I’ve been eating is heavy whipping cream (daily), bananas and butter. What has caused my LDL to increase so much?
I find that Apples work for me. I'm not diabetic or anything, but just moved to low carb. I feel great.
I love the perspective of healthy vs not so healthy body systems.
My A1C was 5.8 so I gave up rice, potatoes, pasta and bread and have lost a lot of weight in just 4 weeks. Will NEVER give up apples, beans or red wine!
Thank you so much doc. Sten Ekberg for your effort and concerns! God with you always! 👍❤️😊
make your own dressing. I make it with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and it comes out pretty good. On rare occasion I'll add a tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar just to twist the flavor a little bit.
Once sentence that stopped me in my tracks several decades ago that I have since lived by (except for special occasions) "Don't drink your calories". You can never go wrong with fresh filtered water.
But can you drink carbonated water / seltzer? And would adding a squeeze of fresh lemon be OK? I like to flavor my fizzy waters, but if you drink a few throughout the day I am concerned the sugar could be adding up!
Unless you lived in Hinkley.
Dr. Sten Ekberg, I am a big fan of your informative work on youtube. Unlike others, you just don't answer the what aspects of the problem but also address the why aspects. .
Your info along with other utubers & Dr Fung's book The Obesity Code. Has helped lower my A1C from 5.9 to 5.2 along with losing 74lbs in less than a year doing keto/low carb eating clean healthy food. Also walk/cycle 5x wk. Along with lifting wgts 2x wk. I feel so energetic & happy. No more joint aches & pain. Thank you Dr Ekberg for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, this one was so useful! While I loved the white boards in previous videos, the production value on this one is excellent. Being able to see the pictures, and the graphs, and the visuals was really helpful to me as I continue to try to reverse my diabetes. I realized there are a couple things that I'm still consuming that I was thinking were okay, and they just aren't. Thank you once again for an amazing lesson.
Read The Plant Paradox- it is a great book I just read. It has many tips that will help you. The writer is a Yale grad- MD. Top shelf info.
Not for diabetic people only but for every human being. Thankyou for the useful information. I have been a diabetic since 1995.
As a type 1 diabetic, fresh berries are essential to me in small doses as they require very little insulin to control them and are some of the only fruit I can enjoy.

Happy to know in this context. I've kicked all of those addictions thanks to this information. I feel healthy now, first time ever...
Me too.

If I had seen this video 10 years ago, I would not be diabetic. Very detailed and throrough.
Dr. Ekberg is going to make doctors out of us. Many thanks.
Look up the glycemic index of all the foods you normally eat.Pay attention to the glycemic load and this should helps.A calorie is not a clorie ,so don't base your diet on calories
Food addiction is worse than any other kind because you could stop drugs or smoking, etc but you always have to eat again and triggers the addiction again.
I rly like the emphasis on what a healthy metabolic body can do versus a non healthy body (occasional rice or couple of tablespoons of honey etc). This is the true meaning of “moderation” -you must have a healthy metabolism first. Some people make that moderation mistake before they’re healthy.
I have been following you for 8 weeks and have gone from 130kg to 119 and feel fantastic, all of my old injuries don't hurt anymore. I do OMAD 5 days a week and have done one 48hr fast with no issues. Thank you so much. Question. Diatomaceous Earth. What is your advice?
Great presentation with very good graphics. I like the "metabolic spectrum" green-to-red graphic and how you use it to distinguish between how the metabolically healthy handle carbs differently than the insulin sensitive then pre-diabetic then type 2 diabetic.
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
Thankyou always Dr Sten. Great insights, the full picture beautiful communication. Best health to you Dr Sten.
Thank You, Dr. Ekberg. 💐
I’ve quit eating so many foods - because of you - and am feeling stronger every day. 😌
You are BRILLIANT, the BEST doctor on RUclips and we appreciate and love you MUCH ! 💖🤗💖
Wishing You & Your Subscribers a SAFE & WONDERFUL weekend ! 😎
So basically I’m screwed if I ever want to get pleasure from food again. Because after you list the things we shouldn’t have, what is left?
He's just one guy. Read around.
Plenty of food and herbs that are delicious and more filling than any of the crap I used to eat. Recently diagnosed with a saddle pulmonary emulision and sugar was thru the roof, mainly because of what I ate. I'm now eating 1-2 a day in a 5 hour time frame and haven't had this much energy it 20 years. They'll come a time that I adjust my diet but won't compromise real food for crap of I can possibly help it.
Eat meat. See carnivore diet: Shawn Baker, Georgia Ede, Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, etc
There are options. Don't give up. I use evoo and vinegar on my salad. If I need something bottled I like Primal Kitchen.
After a month of no carbs and sugar you’re not going to want that stuff anymore. I go down those aisles with ease now. Your taste buds change I love salad and tomato’s are kind of sweet now and I used to hate tomato’s
Dr. Ekberg ROCKS!!
Thank You CD318 😄
Thank you you still explain things better than everyone else
Good advice that makes sense!
So much of the food on the store shelves is a commodity.
I continue to to try to follow your advice Dr.Ekberg. Only about 7 weeks into trying to be low carb and high fat. I haven't lost a lot of weight yet but I do feel more energetic and more awake than I have in years. Something tells me I am on the right track. Thank you for these great videos for knowledge and inspiration!
Your body knows what is good n bad.
You probably have a leaky gut so you are not ABSORBING the quality fats and proteins- despite eating them. Work on your GUT health- this is HUGE. You would surely benefit by reading The Plant Paradox. Hopefully you also cut out Fruit, Whole Grains and Lectins. It's all in the book- he is a Yale grad- MD. You'll see- it will help you.
Are you still fat a year later?
@@rodneyh1947 no I am not. I have lost 70 lbs in total and am trying to lose a few more through intermittent fasting. Feeling better than I have in years!
Thank you so much Doc for the enlightenment! God bless you. You're the best. 👍👍👍
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for what you do. This is very helpful. My husband and I belong to family of diabetics.
I am a simple guy, I see a new video from doc ekberg and I hit the like button 😉 complimenti dottore from italia 😊 ciao
Actually small amounts of fructose can be used by the GI tract, but most of it has to be processed into FAT in the liver, leading to NAFLD.
Hello doctor Ekberg or anyone else Can someone tell me if the water la croix is okay to drink when you are on keto diet because I love this water. Thank you
Yes, they are perfectly fine. 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugar. It doesn't even have artificial sweeteners. I think only water has a better label.
I'm not credentialed about this but it's easy
Thank You Marie Furaha. I haven't used it and I haven't tested it. It should be fine. Sometimes they use synthetic flavoring instead of natural essential oils. 😄
wanted to thank you for the information you give in these videos. Many who have this type of information would give only snippets that pique interest and serve to direct the viewer to a very expensive program or workshop. You have provided access to information that anyone can access and follow, regardless of income. Here in the United States, this is unheard of. You need to be nominated for an award due to your service to everyone who has watched your videos and took in your life-changing advice. Many people might argue and say "well, how is eating grass-fed meat and pasture raised butter" accessible? What I have found as someone for whom money is an issue is that I eat FAR less eating this way- which means my spending on food is actually LESS.- because I am NOT hungry all the time and having to eat processed garbage every two or three hours-and as we all well know now, the quality of that garbage "food" is getting even WORSE and costing more. Now, a plate of pasture-raised eggs cooked in butter with a couple of herbs will fill me for almost the entire day. Literally, changing the eggs helped SO much. So are the eggs more? Yes. But if it makes me eat less for the entire day, then it is worth it. Also, you are not charging money for this information- meaning that people have the money to spend on the healthier diet rather than on getting more information from you. Again, I want to tell you that you should truly be commended for this information and how you present it.
Another thing I've noticed is what you mention about stress. I notice if I I get really stressed about something, no matter what I've eaten or not eaten, I get hungry.---which further underscores your point about STRESS MANAGEMENT- which now that I got most of my diet in line seems to be what I need to work on next. I am finding out more about being truly "holistic"--how everything is interconnected and understanding it better. Yes, it is stress-eating, but it's a response to an increase in hunger hormone triggered by cortisol rather than an uncontrollable urge to stuff my face in response to the hardships of life. Just knowing that makes a huge difference in how I handle it. Being able to give something a name and a reason makes a HUGE difference.
The patience of Mr. Ekberg to explain us things 🙏
