When I was in the hospital 3 years ago, they served me margarine. I complained to my doctor and told him that I preferred butter because of health reasons. He responded that I was wrong and that margarine is the healthier alternative! Why are doctors so ignorant when it comes to health and nutrition?
@@marhee143g5 I really don’t believe regular family doctors want that for their patients, but I do think they are trained to follow the status quo and just don’t know any better
So, if the reason to prefer butter over margarine are trans fats, as dr ekberg is suggesting here, than this is nonsense. Margarint today has lower amount of trans fats than butter. Usually around 1%, often less than that, while butter has on average between 2-3%. Trans fats in margarine are just not a big deal anymore. They were a couple of decades ago when margarine would have 10% and more of trans fats, sometimes up to 25%, but modern production methods changed that drastically.
People hate that I check labels on the back of food products and say that I’m obsessed or exaggerating but we live in todays society where you don’t really know what’s in food unless you check the back since companies are very good at hiding what’s actually in them.
I allways check food labels after I saw a portuguese documentary, here in my country, where a doc and a nutritionist blatantly said: "everything transformed that is sold in a package contains sugar". I started reading labels and let me tell you... wow, mind changer. Allways read the package.
Imagine a world where your tax dollars would go to regulatory agencies that actually have your health in mind and were not captured by the very industries they are paid to police. That would be great. Unfortunately, most people can't wrap their heads around the evil that exists.

Dr. Ekberg drops a lot of knowledge in the video so it's worth watching. But here's the list: 1. Whole wheat bread 2. Cereal 3. Corn 4. Oatmeal (except steel cut in small quantities ) 5. Sweet fruit 6. Soy 7. Low fat diary 8. Egg whites 9. Plant oils 10. margarine 11. Red wine
Not all plant oils, some plant oils are actually healthy (coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil) as long as they are minimally processed and cold pressed. So you should put refined seed oils.
I stopped eating junk at 280 lbs while I learned what to eat.I feel better at 216 today (3 yrs later) - and I’m watching as I’m still learning. Thank you Doc Ekberg.
You go!!! Congratulations on your success. He does make it easy doesn't he? I find myself watching 3-6 of his videos, many I've already watched daily, as I'm still learning but I'm now down 4 lbs in one week with 2 meals of real food on a 16. /8 if
@@linkinl1 plant based milks have low nutritional value and is much more expensive. Not worth it at all. Better eating more meat and eggs than drinking a cup of those kinds of milk
They Have to self educate if they want to know Anything about nutrition...they definitely do not teach any of that in med school. And if they did, it would be the wrong info anyway. They do Not want people to be healthy because that would put them out of business
It so discouraging when u try to help and tell the truty to the others and they tell you its not EBM ! :( I feel so sorry for their oldschool knowlege..:(
@@gw3930 Sandra Westley, in the Uk they are rolling out this diet to people with diabetes, just because USA is behind the curve, doesn’t mean your doctors are right, just listen to this chap you have the information you need to good health. Recognised by the medicals in the UK. Up to now we have been sold the lie carbohydrates are good for you they are not. But our Doctors are not paid by the Pharmaceutical industry, so there’s no pressure to sell medications
Would be very helpful, because it seems like most of what we eat is bad for us. Do not eat dairy, grains FRUITS 🤤 etc, etc. Maybe, eat everything responsibly in moderation. We must have some responsible enjoyment. Please!!!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I make a nice omelet with leftover salmon, bacon and avocado and eat only one meal at 1pm everyday. I am satiated without being stuffed. I drink lots of water and green tea with lemon only. The only fruits I eat are berries, and not very often. HIIT 3 times a week in a fasted state. With your help and Thomas DeLauer I have lost 50 lbs since January 2020. Slow and steady and maintaining the weight loss. No more meds or walker. Your information and workout tips saved me from a life of obesity, HBP, Heart problems and inflammation. Many Thanks again.
I have been on IF and Keto for more than a year with very positive effect. I am now on normal weight and without medications though I am on food supplements now. Glad I learned about it and your videos are very helpful. More power!
I don’t care what you or dr Berg say. Fruits are super high in potassium and b vitamins and some have even great magnesium! Also it’s good to keep your blood sugars up which is great for the brain and natural sugar is a okay! 39g sugar is way too little and I hit the gym and run!!
I love your first paragraph "Many people don't realize medical doctors have very little if any training in food, nutrition and healthy eating...." . The public doesn't know how true this is and that many of the things Doctors and Nutritionists are being taught are still from the Dark Ages.
@@melissag8270 So sad really. People rely on these "experts" and yet they have all the wrong info. It's strange that the real fitness community is more correct about the science than medical doctors or nutritionists and dieticians.
@@samguapo4573 it’s because so much money is involved in those professions, I think holistic doctors and practitioners approach it from a healing perspective, not taught by big pharma
@@melissag8270 I wouldn't put all the blame in big pharma. I would think there is just a general lack of awareness by the status quo. I was also once part of that status quo so I have a very clear understanding of that ignorance. We came from ignorance before we were aware. A good example is how crucial exercise is to health even much much more than food. Yet the medical institution is completely bereft of that awareness. :)
@@janiemiller825 I slowly adapted to Keto which took about a month. From there, it took me 3-4 months to loose 54 pounds. There are Keto recipes for everything including chocolate chip cookies- it’s very doable.
He’s doing his job and wee r thankful for that to him, bat you have to thanks to yourself because you’re receptive, open minded, and you gave him a reason to keep going👍
Mister Doctor Ekberg. I don’t know what to say besides thank you! You’ve changed me and my wife’s life totally. We have now about 6 months for ketogenic life style with IF and time to time even longer periods. My record is 72h witch I reached surprisingly easy. But usually we do OMAD and 4/20 IF. Life is easy. So much more time to do things we love. Walking, photography, music, etc. I losted over 20kg. I’m 187cm tall and I my weight was 101,4kg before, but now it’s 80kg. And my strenght levels are still the same. I feel wonderful. I feel thankful! I’m turning soon to 41 and I’m now the same size than I was about 19 years old. So I’ve got about 20 years back!! I’ve never hungry, I eat all good stuff. And also with quality. I sleep like a baby. We’re a little upprörd how bad food recomendations we’ve given from ”normal” instructions. But do you think that they don’t know? ’Cos it’s quite bad if they know the truth but still throw these very bad guidelines. Anyway, we don’t know how to thank you all of these information. You are a lifesaver. And it would be wonderful to meet in person at some point in this world and shake the man’s hand who has all this courage to tell all this stuff! We live in Finland so maybe sometimes when you’re visiting in Sverige. Or you should come and held few lectures to the finnish doctors. Amazing content, Sir. Everyone should know these details. Thank you once again!
I live in a Nordic country and the breads are really different here compared to the ones in the US. Right now I'm looking at the nutrient listing of some bread I have in my freezer (yes, I put bread in the freezer because otherwise it would go stale in a couple of days). Out of 100g, 11g is fiber, 14g protein, 13g fat (1,7g of it is saturated fat), 20g carbs (0,8g of it is sugars) and 1,1g salt. I am quite happy to keep on eating a couple of slices of toasted bread every day. With homemade quacamole on top, of course 😋
I did primary care as an MD Family Practitioner for decades and feel bad I always advised a high carb low fat diet. I have been on a ketogenic diet for almost 3 months following your advice and others on RUclips and have lost weight and increased muscle mass with working out. Thank you for your wonderful educational talks.
Carbs are not the enemy. The keto fad stems from the unhealthy carbs the western diet eats. Asians eat carbs like in Japan and most asian and east asian countries. They live the longest. Lowest rates of heart disease , diabetes, etc and they don't have the obesity problems of western society. They age better than westerners. All staple carbs in western diets are unhealthy. That is the main issue and the hilarious root of this keto fad lol. It stems from ignorance.
I respect a doctor who admits his faults. You had no reason not to trust your advice at the time. Now, hopefully you realize these things were taught to you with profits in mind, with the powers that be knowing they were teaching you lies from a basis of greed.
I love peppermint tea before bed for relaxation. My husband and I recently began having a cup together every evening and are each sleeping better than ever... I have been spreading the word to family and friends..
Thank you so much for helping us understand nutrition without shortcuts, in a very pedagogic and trustful manner. I'm obese going through a weight loss aiming for 40KG and your videos are like a therapy for me. Thank you Doc ! You're awesome
@@johnmc3862 Thank goodness! The only thing my primary care doctor will do for me is write out a prescription to take care of a symptom. They can't seem to actually look at the bloodwork and symptoms and make a diagnosis of the underlying cause. Obviously they can be wonderful at diagnosing some critical illnesses, but there are so many of us with chronic symptoms that they just can't put a finger on like autoimmune disorders, etc. I believe diet can make the difference in eliminating or at least helping with these. A friend just told me last night that he has tried everything to get rid of psoriasis on his scalp and the only thing that has helped is eating carnivore. He said it is almost gone. My guess is that he has an allergy to some food that he could never diagnose until he went off everything but meat. I really appreciate Dr. Ekberg's explanations.
Thank you Dr Ekberg for your expert advice. I’ve been on this keto journey for about a year , from pre diabetic to now normal and 45 lbs lighter. I still watch my carbs and regularly test my blood glucose and pee ketones. I practice intermittent fasting ( 6 hr eating window) daily. Processed food high carbs and sugar nearly wrecked my health . I believe that the single greatest problem in our modern diet is that our food has been boogered with to the extent that it’s so nutritionally deficient and borderline poisonous for some people. In ancient cultures breads and grains were part of a regular diet,; however, what we all bread today bears little resemblance to what our ancestors consumed. Much of the time grains sprouted in storage due to moisture getting to the grain reducing the anti nutrients in the grain and increasing the nutrition of them. This added to slow natural fermentation (sourdough) in bread making provided much healthier food than the typical fast fermenting of commercial baking today. I say all this to say that I do eat some wheat bread from time to time . My own bread made from sprouted organic wheat home ground and leavened with a natural sourdough culture. Modest portioning and consumption doe not spike my blood glucose where I have observed commercially produced breads do. I think the glycemic index is probably much better in breads made the old way. You also spoke of wine. I lived in Italy for a time , with people who produced wine from their own grapes using the old ways. Totally different from what passes for wine today in your typical modern market. Our ancestors ate so much better!
All fruits aren’t created equal. Low glycemic fruits are organic blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. They’re bitter-sweet. Eat them with a fat like nuts, nut butters, whole milk yogurt.
I have watched lots of you tube expert advice, and after watching this one, I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that is good for me to eat forever is water..
No, just don't eat seeds(nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, coffee, chocolat). Yes all of those are seeds. Don't eat seeds. Ignore all other advice. Carbs are extremely important
The optimum diet is the carnivore diet, but the keto diet is the next best thing. I do a combination of both. Carbs, more specifically grains, are a filler food, and eaten when you have no better choice, to make meals go further, or when there's famine. That's how they were historically. Pasta was a cheap peasant food historically.
@@andrewsilver7048 Proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids are all made from the same elements. The body can convert these into eachother. So eat zero carb? Your body will convert proteins and fats into glucose. So just eat glucose(raw honey, fruit, starches). The body needs saturated fat so converting glucose into fat will be void of nutrients, so eat saturated animal fats daily(they 100% do no cause atherosclerosis). Eating protein is useful but if you eat enough carbohydrates the body will retain more muscle with less effort. Keto is a short term wieght loss that does alot more harm than good. Cells do not just store energy, they store everything. Vitamins, minerals. So being thin is not necessarily a sign of health. In fact you need a healthy layer of saturated fat or you will be very anxious until you eat enough nutrient dense omnivorous food.
I just stumbled across your channel. Great and informative video!! I love your presentation and the way you speak! For those who are in disbelief about soy being unhealthy...growing up as Asian, it's a huge part of our diet. However, there's two members of my family who now have ovarian cysts and have been advised to stay away from soy. I think the key is to eat everything in moderation and listen to your body! Thank you and I hope to continue to watch more of your videos! Blessings. 🙏
I have type 2 diabetes, My daily meals is, for breakfast two slides whole grain toast, one omega-3 boiled egg, half avocado..and my other two meals is, one piece of air fry chicken with stir fry vegetable and brown rice.. can you tell me what am eating wrong?
People aren’t dying from eating too much fruit. They’re dying from the soda and all the junk that’s in fast food and corner stores that they eat on the daily. I’m not a doctor but I guarantee you if you don’t eat fast food, drink alcohol, or eat all those processed snacks you’re not going to die from eating a couple servings of bread and fruit everyday
Doc-watching this makes me also think about industrialized food companies that have incredible sway over what recommendations we receive-profit over people. Keeping us fat and insulin resistant benefits Corporate food as well as the pharmaceuticals who don't seem to want us to be healthy because this will effect their profits. Also big pharm lobbies doctors to prescribe their products while flooding the airways with commercials laced with quickly stated side effects their drugs may produce while flashing images of smiling people. Sad state of affairs. I call several isle in the grocery store-Isle of death, going mostly to the organic none GMO vegetables section, organic whole butter and full organic creams and the grass-fed and wild caught salmon section-85% of the store I never even visit anymore. You have given me the tools to wade through the propaganda-I feel SO MUCH BETTER! Thank you!
Thank you prichardgs. You are absolutely right. I think it is still important not to see them as evil though. Let's just say that their interests are not aligned with people's well being. Their for profit companies are taking advantage of people's ignorance and they have no conscience in the matter. All of this is tragic, but when we see it as evil and focus on it, we hurt our selves. I sense from your comment though, that you do have a good perspective on this. We nee to focus on how much better we are doing once we have the understanding, and then we share this knowledge with the people who are ready to listen. Thanks for being a part of our growing community.😄
@@drekberg You are absolutely correct-My health improves when I focus positively, negativity is, by its nature, unhealthy. I will not focus on the negative, realizing that is negative. Two negatives make a positive. Thank you for the reminder Greg!
What was your A1c before? Mine’s at 5.5 as of February. Getting tested again in December after having lost 25 pounds. Hope I get a great score like you did.
@@WholeLottaLoveHandles my A1C was 5.2 on Sept 22, 20 which came down from 5.8 on July 22, 20. And in previous years is was always around 5.9. I feel so much better. I love keto and intermittent fasting. The key to success is less than 30 carbs a day and patience. I use the 18:6 intermittent fasting.
@@drekberg Thank you. You have taught me so much. I have started passing the info on to others. The main thing I learned from you was the process of fixing the insulin resistance takes time and to keep going. I need to lose more and it all gets better over time. Even fasting is way easier without carbs because of way less hunger.
How did that work out for you? I hope well, but I'm afraid you will bounce back from any diet which had a name... Just eat good foods in moderation, you don't need to adhere to a 'strict' diet.
I have been on Keto for nearly two years and I couldn't be happier. However, I am from Ethiopia and would like to see research on Teff which I have chosen to incorporate in my diet in moderation. ( Teff is Ethiopia's staple food....yes, a grain but gluten free and full of fiber ) I would appreciate your opinion on it as I think it could present an amazing option for those on a low carb life style. Thanks for all you do
Hi😊 I so agree with you. Its just so confusing, eat this,don't eat that😂 when Im watching all the videos,my husband looks at me like Im crazy 😂 Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
There are videos by a Dr. Brad Stanfield who says quite a few things opposite to what's here. e.g. he says saturated fat is bad. He also argues against the Intermittent Fasting (IF) saying the the weight loss was due to caloric reduction.
Your channel is life-changing. I've watched at least 15 videos on your channel, and this is one of my favorite due to the myth-busting in it. It can be so difficult for an average person to become aware of this important and nuanced information. I'm thankful that you explained it clearly and in such great detail.
Always question any information you get. Dr. Sten 'Avocado Lover and Fruit Hater' Ekberg also is just a human. I am sure he is very competent and gives us a lot of useful advice, but he is by no means perfect. Every single one of those nutrition experts is trying to make us believe they found the one and only 100% true answer to all our questions. The more confident people are with their own opinion, the less you should trust them. 😉 Also many things are a matter of perspective and Dr. Sten Ekberg is only seeing things in regards to health and nutritions. Our seas are already overfished, the Avocado is one of the worst fruits to grow on our planet because of its high water demands and meat also is extremely inefficient to produce. So how far do we want to go with your own health? Is going from "good health" to "great health" really worth destroying our own planet? What I am saying here is highly simplified of course. I am just saying that there is more to consider than just the stuff in those videos.
Thanks for this video, Dr. Ekberg! You continue to give the straight scoop about health, and we DO appreciate your candor and the effort that goes into these videos! 💕
Thank you x100 Dr. Ekberg. Following your guidelines and applying the info that Ive learned on your channel has helped me out with my ulcerative colitis so much. I no longer feel like crap!!!
3:30 im thinking about giving up watching these "healthy videos", because i have not found single one which has at least one fact with which all agree. literally for every one thing someone say, you can find someone claims the opposite in this example, Dr. Hiromi Shinya some famous japanese colon expert, said to eat 50% of diet with whole grains, thats the best for colon health and whom you gonna beleive now ?
Thank you Fatmanwithnomoney. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I know what you say is broadly true. But I think it's important to add that the quality of breads and cereals vary a LOT throughout the world. Being Australian and having lived in North America for 2 years in the past, I can tell you, the commercial bread and cereals in the Americas is SOOOOO much more processed and sweetened than the status-quo in Aus. I was amazed when I first tried commercial bread there. It was like eating cake!
True👍🏽 in Germany we have more then 40 -50 types of bread, some of the full grain types are full of nutrients & fibre & have nothing in common with the american cake bread..
@@tempestsonata1102 Why are you surprised? Dr. Ekberg lives and works in Atlanta and his target audience is Americans. You're more than welcome to create content that caters to your neck of the world.
I personally was unable to see weight loss with keto and gained weight because I myself can eat an abundance of fatty meats and go into a caloric surplus fairly easy even with OMAD (can easily eat like 3 lbs of ground beef or steak, fatty meat is a trigger food for me) Did keto for about 4 months and stopped due to it destroying me mentally. Eventually I was able to get down to 150lbs as an average height male eating mainly chicken, fruit, PLENTY of vegetables, jasmine rice, egg whites, and cut out all high processed foods and unnatural sugars. Whoever finds the time to read this, don’t be discouraged if keto doesn’t work for you, find what does and also make sure that it can contribute to your happiness as well as being a sustainable lifestyle rather than just a diet. Much love ❤️
Thank you! I have heard alot about keto, but meat is a huge trigger for me! Including chicken… i plan to do omad now but avoid processed foods! Thank uou for your comment
I stayed with meat and cruciferous veggies for now with some eggs and ghee and sour cream Eating as less times a day I can (usually it's one or two times only)
Fasting helps me so much. Intermittent fasting has been great but alternate day fasting has gotten me off a plateau. Next I want to try extended fasting.
@@yoseesteve9055 It's absolutely sustainable. Why would you need to eat more than once a day at the most ?? And that's for someone who is very active. The only people who can't or won't are food addicts and completely in denial about it.
Sten Ekberg is very structured and pedagogical as usual and it makes it easier to understand how everything is connected. My breakfast tip for those who eat oatmeal is to mix it up with something else. I always mix with coconut flakes and other seeds and nuts. The porridge also tastes better. I always have mixed berries that I put on top. These are berries such as blackberries, raspberries, black currants, gooseberries and strawberries. The berries taste best when they have the right acidity, not just sweetness. I do not remember when I was sick last time, but during the 30 years I have eaten a similar diet, I have rarely been ill, pepper pepper take in wood as they say. As a child, I also got a big lump of butter on the porridge, which I continued with.
I like eating the keto way so much, I won't even watch or look at any of the food networks/shows online anymore, and I used to be a huge fan of all of them. I'll admit I used to eat so terribly, I don't know how in the world I managed to reach the age of 67; now, after being on keto for seven weeks, I simply cannot imagine going back to the old way of eating, nor can my body handle it---I had an "emergency" meal two weeks ago from McDonald's, and while I chose the least offensive thing I could find on their menu, I had to throw it away after just three or four bites, it tasted so awful. I can hardly believe I used to eat that vile stuff several times a month!!! I'll continue to watch and listen to Dr. Ekberg, and to live the healthier, happier keto lifestyle as I watch my weight going down daily, my BP improving so hugely, my doctor is going to be stunned next week when I go to my appointment, and just feeling vastly better than I have in decades.
So are sin, adultery, murder, theft, idolatry and the like. Should we also partake of those? Get serious about your body for it is "a temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor 6:19)
I've seen people eating the worst food in UK hospitals. The NHS also considers butter, lard and animal fat as unhealthy, but chemical sweetners as healthy.
I'm sorry but I don't trust anyone who claims that oatmeal or fruits are considering as worst food. Fruits might contain sugar but there are also antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, tannins which in compound are slowing down sugar absorbtion in time and some of that sugar won't be even absorbed due to them. As I watch your videos and agree with most of what you say, this is the part when I start to doubt. The only part I can agree with you here is that we should eat mostly vegetables.
Many thanks for a much needed topic. Once a Chiropractor told me it's important to know how to combine the different foods to get the most out of the food. The only example he told me is to always have some kind of tomato with beef to stop inflammation. It doesn't matter if it's tomato juice, sauce, etc.
My doctor told me if I didn’t take a different lifestyle I would get diabetics, she told me bread is good. Wel I eat as less bread as I can. I eat salads eggs and Whole Foods and I feel so much better.lost 8 kilos. Still 12 to go. Thanks for the good information because I never felt so good as I do now.
I dont get why sweet fruits is considered bad, when their sugar is complex and nutritious. Their ''sugar'' is not the same cane sugar you taste on donuts or soda drinks, kinda like how salmon omega 3 fats are different from butter fat. They're beneficial for human consumption on a daily basis. I mean if fruits are harmful then all vegetarians and vegan would have gone extinct
The problem with sticking to healthy alternatives is the cost! I know what's healthy and what to avoid, but it really ads up and to be honest, I can't afford feeding my family of four this way. So from a cost point of view, it's easier said than done.
Very true. But have you considered the health costs that would come from getting sick and frequent trips to hospital? It may not be cheap to eat healthy ALL THE TIME, but maybe try to most times. Wishing you and your family all goodness.
I eat all these foods listed (not margarine or soy), and I have never been healthier in my 65 years of life! So, salt is okay? Pasta? Red meats? etc. I've had grandparents that lived well into their 90s eating all this food plus butter, whole milk, cream, half & half, etc., etc., etc. My God, just eat what you want and enjoy YOUR LIFE! smh
@pamelabh3621 Yes. Salt is okay. Ekberg would actually encourage you to consume more butter and fat containing dairy. Fat is not your enemy. Sugar and carbohydrates are. Why carbs? Because they get converted to sugar.
A guy in my workplace frowns upon eating more than one banana in a short period of time, due to potential potassium poisoning! Seriously, some people are devoid of common sense.
I'm interested in body building in my old age. Dr. Ekberg, thank you for teaching me about egg whites and the whole egg. It was on my mind as to what should I eat for best effect when working out. Now I know! Thanks again. :)
Food awareness will be the next revolution. Smoking education took a long time. Unfortunately alcohol awareness (ignorance) will be bypassed due to cultural constraints. (I avoid many social situations because I cannot afford alcohol for others, let alone for myself.)
Who expects u to buy alcohol if u don't drink? I hope that's not your crowd. If invited to dinner, I never bring wine, but I may bring some great cheese, or a bouquet, occasionally some good Belgian chocolate. BBQ? Just bring some grass fed burgers or a nice salmon!
@Heloise O'Byrne Backyard BBQ's are super-popular here (USA). too. Also can bring a good salsa and chips, salad, potato salad, beans...really anything. I never go out to drink. Too expensive. The drinking holes seem to be filled with the college crowd. I'm not in my 20's.
I love Oatmeal and add Flax ,Hemp seed and cut up prunes and still looking for other things to add like Walnuts and sunflower seeds. I am eating so much better now much thanks to your advice and sharing your knowledge . I love learning things the right way!
Resveratrol is formed within the grape when the grape is triggered with an immune response against naturally occurring mold attempting to attack the plant. If the plant was sprayed with anti-mold chemicals, which many are, then the resveratrol is quite low or even non-existent. Organic red wine has higher levels of resveratrol because they are not sprayed and that immune response which creates resveratrol is allowed to naturally occur.
It does not make sense to claim that bread like rye bread is unhealthy. I understand that processed food and sugar in general is unhealthy, but rye bread, oat meals etc. are purely good for your health. Carbs are not dangerous 😑 It all comes down to having an active lifestyle and eating nutritious, balanced food. The fact that some healthy foods make your blood sugar rise it does not make it unhealthy.
Carbs are a recent thing promoted because they are cheap and addictive, but essentially just sugar. They are not really food, but more like a drug; a very bad one.
I'd like to see a meal plan from Sten.. that'd be good. I've been following Sten for a few months now and I've lost 6Kg (now 78kg/6ft tall man) - amazing stuff.
most difficult is to get rid of wheat all other things are not in my diet. I reduced from 6/7 tortilla/roti to 2 tortillas of whole wheat daily. I will try to reduce it more like 1 smal tortilla of whole wheat in a day. I was 76KG six months ago and now I am 63KG. feelings very healthy very active . many problems are gone thanks doctor . Thanks God
RUclips is made amazing by these types of channels and video's. It is such a shame that it is buried amongst a sea of channels promoting misinformation by content creators that lack the knowledge and understanding needed to teach these subjects. Everybody wants to be the next big channel and just regurgitates information they have heard without looking too deeply into the subject matter. I feel blessed to have found you Dr Sten. Your presentation, calm demeanor, in-depth explanations and subtle humour is a breath of fresh air from all the other creators bar 1 or two. I have been following you and your teachings for a few weeks and I am much happier in myself, have more get up and go than I have ever had in my adult life and can think much clearer. Thank you for the hours of work and research that you have put in throughout your life and know it is not wasted one bit. Great man.
Actually the flavored skim milk, with toxic amounts of frucktose in school lunch programs is wurst. Can't give kids fat, but poisoning the liver is A OK???

I just LOVE how they manipulate and mislead us with their terminology based on percentages..... Bottom line - limit processed food. Lesson learned - on a new journey.
Vegetable oils also cause extreme oxidative stress on the body. These polyunsaturated oils are prone to oxidization, and before its invention by Crisco, heart attacks were virtually unheard of or extremely rare. Probably due to the trans fats in the product, but regardless of that, there's still a consequence of using these oils in the body. This was also compounded by the amount of sugar added to our diets at the tail end of the 19th century. Olive oil and avocado (cold-pressed) contain at least 10% polyunsaturated fats and should be used sparingly in cooking. Butter, lard, beef tallow, and coconut/MCT oil should be your primary source of cooking oils since these oils resist oxidation in the body.
Dr Sten Ekberg a doctor and a true teacher. Thank you explaining things on health in an understandable way sir. Can you make a video on how we can do keto and fasting when we are on holiday? I am in Dubai right now and high carb, high GMO Indian food is staring me in the face all the time.
Great information on foods with fiber. Many people on RUclips, and elsewhere, are pushing hard to force us into accepting high fiber and whole grain foods as being safe for diabetics. They are not!!! I think your idea of steel cut oats is also excellent. I would add just a couple of tablespoons to my hot cereal which I usually prepare with coconut flakes and chia seeds--more fiber to make a little bit of oats safer!!
At 15:00 dr. Ekberg explains about milk, but any dairy products with low-fat or nonfat compensates the loss of flavor by adding sugar. Low fat and nonfat are very bad for you. Buy it plain and whole milk and then add cinnamon, a bit of fruit and a touch of pure Stevia powder. Totally healthy for you.
What you said about fruits is true. When I was pregnant, my gynae warned me I had gained too much weight and was almost reaching diabetic stage. He asked what I ate that caused this. At that time, it never crossed my mind that too much sweet fruits were bad. During pregnancy, I was eating plenty and plenty of juicy fruits like oranges and watermelons. ( I thought fruits were good for the baby! ) At that time I just reported to him that I was eating normal and in usual quantities and I didn't know how the extra weight came about. Many years later, only I read of the dangers of consuming fruits that contain too much sugars.
I don't think you gained weight because of oranges and watermelons . I really really don't think it's even possible, unless you are chugging literaly kilograms of fruits every day.
@@emperorpalpatine6080 Yeah. This Video is crazy, why did so many people watch this and why are there so many doctors misinforming about nutrition in this unscientific manner
@@chinchilla_462 I was just curious about whats on the list. And here is the thing, I would never mention alergies. Anyone can be alergic to pretty much anything. Like I am alergic to penicilin. Does it mean its bad ATB? No it is not. Just my GP had a headache when I recently needed ATB and we had huge shortage and she had to exclude some of the still available because of this.
Hej Dr Ekberg ! Thank you for sharing this is brilliant! Will definitely share this informative video and brilliant video and research always. Take care and keep safe Dr Ekberg 😷👍🏻
Thank you Lina Koh. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
When I was in the hospital 3 years ago, they served me margarine. I complained to my doctor and told him that I preferred butter because of health reasons. He responded that I was wrong and that margarine is the healthier alternative! Why are doctors so ignorant when it comes to health and nutrition?
Follow the money. They want us in sick care. Hospital food is the most unhealthy food given to sick people. It’s horrible!
Evil dumb doctor$.
Ugh , I hate how we grew up thumping hydrogenated crap was healthy:/
@@marhee143g5 I really don’t believe regular family doctors want that for their patients, but I do think they are trained to follow the status quo and just don’t know any better
So, if the reason to prefer butter over margarine are trans fats, as dr ekberg is suggesting here, than this is nonsense. Margarint today has lower amount of trans fats than butter. Usually around 1%, often less than that, while butter has on average between 2-3%. Trans fats in margarine are just not a big deal anymore. They were a couple of decades ago when margarine would have 10% and more of trans fats, sometimes up to 25%, but modern production methods changed that drastically.
People hate that I check labels on the back of food products and say that I’m obsessed or exaggerating but we live in todays society where you don’t really know what’s in food unless you check the back since companies are very good at hiding what’s actually in them.
I allways check food labels after I saw a portuguese documentary, here in my country, where a doc and a nutritionist blatantly said: "everything transformed that is sold in a package contains sugar". I started reading labels and let me tell you... wow, mind changer. Allways read the package.
They are scared and lazy of the truth behind our “foods”
Imagine a world where your tax dollars would go to regulatory agencies that actually have your health in mind and were not captured by the very industries they are paid to police. That would be great. Unfortunately, most people can't wrap their heads around the evil that exists.
Then the food companies change the formulations, so you have to keep checking. Over and over, forever.

Not all plant oils, some plant oils are actually healthy (coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil) as long as they are minimally processed and cold pressed. So you should put refined seed oils.
I stopped eating junk at 280 lbs while I learned what to eat.I feel better at 216 today (3 yrs later) - and I’m watching as I’m still learning.

We should have great respect for medical doctors who make the effort to self educate themselves in nutrition. They don't settle for the status quo.
Thank you Ray J. Absolutely. Anyone who has the courage to think for themselves and break with the mainstream are the people who move things forward.😄
They Have to self educate if they want to know Anything about nutrition...they definitely do not teach any of that in med school. And if they did, it would be the wrong info anyway. They do Not want people to be healthy because that would put them out of business
It so discouraging when u try to help and tell the truty to the others and they tell you its not EBM ! :( I feel so sorry for their oldschool knowlege..:(
Is there a medical doctor here?
@@gw3930 Sandra Westley, in the Uk they are rolling out this diet to people with diabetes, just because USA is behind the curve, doesn’t mean your doctors are right, just listen to this chap you have the information you need to good health. Recognised by the medicals in the UK. Up to now we have been sold the lie carbohydrates are good for you they are not. But our Doctors are not paid by the Pharmaceutical industry, so there’s no pressure to sell medications
I'd like to see a vlog about what you eat every day for a week.
Bet it’s be good!!
Would be very helpful, because it seems like most of what we eat is bad for us. Do not eat dairy, grains FRUITS 🤤 etc, etc. Maybe, eat everything responsibly in moderation.
We must have some responsible enjoyment.
Please!!!
Sten eats misinformation and converts it into the truth.
We're lucky to enjoy his wisdom.

Salmon tuna chicken breast along with fruit salad and vegetables.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I make a nice omelet with leftover salmon, bacon and avocado and eat only one meal at 1pm everyday. I am satiated without being stuffed. I drink lots of water and green tea with lemon only. The only fruits I eat are berries, and not very often. HIIT 3 times a week in a fasted state. With your help and Thomas DeLauer I have lost 50 lbs since January 2020. Slow and steady and maintaining the weight loss. No more meds or walker. Your information and workout tips saved me from a life of obesity, HBP, Heart problems and inflammation. Many Thanks again.
Thank you Leliu 5thElement for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg Thank you for the acknowledgement, I am working on myself daily, I look and feel great!

Congratulations!! 🥰🙌🏻
Well done!
I have been on IF and Keto for more than a year with very positive effect. I am now on normal weight and without medications though I am on food supplements now. Glad I learned about it and your videos are very helpful. More power!
I don’t care what you or dr Berg say. Fruits are super high in potassium and b vitamins and some have even great magnesium! Also it’s good to keep your blood sugars up which is great for the brain and natural sugar is a okay! 39g sugar is way too little and I hit the gym and run!!
I love your first paragraph "Many people don't realize medical doctors have very little if any training in food, nutrition and healthy eating...." . The public doesn't know how true this is and that many of the things Doctors and Nutritionists are being taught are still from the Dark Ages.
It’s crazy how it’s not common knowledge, but makes sense why it wouldn’t be
@@melissag8270 So sad really. People rely on these "experts" and yet they have all the wrong info. It's strange that the real fitness community is more correct about the science than medical doctors or nutritionists and dieticians.
@@samguapo4573 it’s because so much money is involved in those professions, I think holistic doctors and practitioners approach it from a healing perspective, not taught by big pharma
@@melissag8270 I wouldn't put all the blame in big pharma. I would think there is just a general lack of awareness by the status quo. I was also once part of that status quo so I have a very clear understanding of that ignorance. We came from ignorance before we were aware. A good example is how crucial exercise is to health even much much more than food. Yet the medical institution is completely bereft of that awareness. :)
The training they do get in nutrition is also wrong for many people.
Information like this has changed my life- my lab results are great & I lost 50+ pounds. Many thanks and blessings 🌞
You lost 50 pounds ?
How many months to lose it ?
@@janiemiller825 I slowly adapted to Keto which took about a month. From there, it took me 3-4 months to loose 54 pounds. There are Keto recipes for everything including chocolate chip cookies- it’s very doable.
Congrats! God bless 💖

Thanks wonderful.
Mister Doctor Ekberg. I don’t know what to say besides thank you! You’ve changed me and my wife’s life totally. We have now about 6 months for ketogenic life style with IF and time to time even longer periods. My record is 72h witch I reached surprisingly easy. But usually we do OMAD and 4/20 IF. Life is easy. So much more time to do things we love. Walking, photography, music, etc. I losted over 20kg. I’m 187cm tall and I my weight was 101,4kg before, but now it’s 80kg. And my strenght levels are still the same. I feel wonderful. I feel thankful! I’m turning soon to 41 and I’m now the same size than I was about 19 years old. So I’ve got about 20 years back!! I’ve never hungry, I eat all good stuff. And also with quality. I sleep like a baby. We’re a little upprörd how bad food recomendations we’ve given from ”normal” instructions. But do you think that they don’t know? ’Cos it’s quite bad if they know the truth but still throw these very bad guidelines. Anyway, we don’t know how to thank you all of these information. You are a lifesaver. And it would be wonderful to meet in person at some point in this world and shake the man’s hand who has all this courage to tell all this stuff! We live in Finland so maybe sometimes when you’re visiting in Sverige. Or you should come and held few lectures to the finnish doctors. Amazing content, Sir. Everyone should know these details. Thank you once again!

I live in a Nordic country and the breads are really different here compared to the ones in the US. Right now I'm looking at the nutrient listing of some bread I have in my freezer (yes, I put bread in the freezer because otherwise it would go stale in a couple of days). Out of 100g, 11g is fiber, 14g protein, 13g fat (1,7g of it is saturated fat), 20g carbs (0,8g of it is sugars) and 1,1g salt. I am quite happy to keep on eating a couple of slices of toasted bread every day. With homemade quacamole on top, of course 😋
I did primary care as an MD Family Practitioner for decades and feel bad I always advised a high carb low fat diet. I have been on a ketogenic diet for almost 3 months following your advice and others on RUclips and have lost weight and increased muscle mass with working out. Thank you for your wonderful educational talks.
Carbs are not the enemy. The keto fad stems from the unhealthy carbs the western diet eats. Asians eat carbs like in Japan and most asian and east asian countries. They live the longest. Lowest rates of heart disease , diabetes, etc and they don't have the obesity problems of western society. They age better than westerners. All staple carbs in western diets are unhealthy. That is the main issue and the hilarious root of this keto fad lol. It stems from ignorance.
I respect a doctor who admits his faults. You had no reason not to trust your advice at the time. Now, hopefully you realize these things were taught to you with profits in mind, with the powers that be knowing they were teaching you lies from a basis of greed.
I love peppermint tea before bed for relaxation. My husband and I recently began having a cup together every evening and are each sleeping better than ever... I have been spreading the word to family and friends..
True and the best is the one made fresh from mint leaves .
Thank you so much for helping us understand nutrition without shortcuts, in a very pedagogic and trustful manner.
I'm obese going through a weight loss aiming for 40KG and your videos are like a therapy for me.
Thank you Doc ! You're awesome
How's the progress going? I personally think intermittent fasting and smaller portions are helpful
He isn’t a medical doctor.
Wouldn't you prefer someone who cites references?
@@forestappalachia6047 On RUclips? I don't think it's necessary if the information can be found easily online.
@@johnmc3862 Thank goodness! The only thing my primary care doctor will do for me is write out a prescription to take care of a symptom. They can't seem to actually look at the bloodwork and symptoms and make a diagnosis of the underlying cause. Obviously they can be wonderful at diagnosing some critical illnesses, but there are so many of us with chronic symptoms that they just can't put a finger on like autoimmune disorders, etc. I believe diet can make the difference in eliminating or at least helping with these. A friend just told me last night that he has tried everything to get rid of psoriasis on his scalp and the only thing that has helped is eating carnivore. He said it is almost gone. My guess is that he has an allergy to some food that he could never diagnose until he went off everything but meat. I really appreciate Dr. Ekberg's explanations.
Thank you Dr Ekberg for your expert advice. I’ve been on this keto journey for about a year , from pre diabetic to now normal and 45 lbs lighter. I still watch my carbs and regularly test my blood glucose and pee ketones. I practice intermittent fasting ( 6 hr eating window) daily. Processed food high carbs and sugar nearly wrecked my health . I believe that the single greatest problem in our modern diet is that our food has been boogered with to the extent that it’s so nutritionally deficient and borderline poisonous for some people. In ancient cultures breads and grains were part of a regular diet,; however, what we all bread today bears little resemblance to what our ancestors consumed. Much of the time grains sprouted in storage due to moisture getting to the grain reducing the anti nutrients in the grain and increasing the nutrition of them. This added to slow natural fermentation (sourdough) in bread making provided much healthier food than the typical fast fermenting of commercial baking today. I say all this to say that I do eat some wheat bread from time to time . My own bread made from sprouted organic wheat home ground and leavened with a natural sourdough culture. Modest portioning and consumption doe not spike my blood glucose where I have observed commercially produced breads do. I think the glycemic index is probably much better in breads made the old way. You also spoke of wine. I lived in Italy for a time , with people who produced wine from their own grapes using the old ways. Totally different from what passes for wine today in your typical modern market. Our ancestors ate so much better!
Lol “boogered with”
Great presentation. It makes a lot of sense now that i think about my mood and slight body reactions after eating a lot of those foods
All fruits aren’t created equal.
Low glycemic fruits are organic blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. They’re bitter-sweet.
Eat them with a fat like nuts, nut butters, whole milk yogurt.
Yet another fine eye opener from Dr. Eckberg, dispelling the misinformation we were brought up on !!! Time for change is TODAY.
Dr. Ekberg reminds me of the videos we use to watch in health and PE class back in the '90s. I love it.
Haha... just wish I was smart enough back then to actually listen.
Thank you for sharing valuable information! This is truly an important list to help us improve our lifestyles and diets.
I have watched lots of you tube expert advice, and after watching this one, I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that is good for me to eat forever is water..
No, just don't eat seeds(nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, coffee, chocolat). Yes all of those are seeds. Don't eat seeds. Ignore all other advice. Carbs are extremely important
@@indigo7387 Aren't carbs just sugars?
The optimum diet is the carnivore diet, but the keto diet is the next best thing. I do a combination of both.
Carbs, more specifically grains, are a filler food, and eaten when you have no better choice, to make meals go further, or when there's famine. That's how they were historically. Pasta was a cheap peasant food historically.
@@shaungordon9737 Depending on who you listen too, everything is bad for you..
@@andrewsilver7048 Proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids are all made from the same elements. The body can convert these into eachother. So eat zero carb? Your body will convert proteins and fats into glucose. So just eat glucose(raw honey, fruit, starches). The body needs saturated fat so converting glucose into fat will be void of nutrients, so eat saturated animal fats daily(they 100% do no cause atherosclerosis). Eating protein is useful but if you eat enough carbohydrates the body will retain more muscle with less effort. Keto is a short term wieght loss that does alot more harm than good. Cells do not just store energy, they store everything. Vitamins, minerals. So being thin is not necessarily a sign of health. In fact you need a healthy layer of saturated fat or you will be very anxious until you eat enough nutrient dense omnivorous food.
I just stumbled across your channel. Great and informative video!! I love your presentation and the way you speak! For those who are in disbelief about soy being unhealthy...growing up as Asian, it's a huge part of our diet. However, there's two members of my family who now have ovarian cysts and have been advised to stay away from soy. I think the key is to eat everything in moderation and listen to your body! Thank you and I hope to continue to watch more of your videos! Blessings. 🙏

People aren’t dying from eating too much fruit. They’re dying from the soda and all the junk that’s in fast food and corner stores that they eat on the daily. I’m not a doctor but I guarantee you if you don’t eat fast food, drink alcohol, or eat all those processed snacks you’re not going to die from eating a couple servings of bread and fruit everyday
Nothing wrong with bread and fruit. As long as the bread is whole meal.
Doc-watching this makes me also think about industrialized food companies that have incredible sway over what recommendations we receive-profit over people. Keeping us fat and insulin resistant benefits Corporate food as well as the pharmaceuticals who don't seem to want us to be healthy because this will effect their profits. Also big pharm lobbies doctors to prescribe their products while flooding the airways with commercials laced with quickly stated side effects their drugs may produce while flashing images of smiling people. Sad state of affairs. I call several isle in the grocery store-Isle of death, going mostly to the organic none GMO vegetables section, organic whole butter and full organic creams and the grass-fed and wild caught salmon section-85% of the store I never even visit anymore. You have given me the tools to wade through the propaganda-I feel SO MUCH BETTER! Thank you!
Thank you prichardgs. You are absolutely right. I think it is still important not to see them as evil though. Let's just say that their interests are not aligned with people's well being. Their for profit companies are taking advantage of people's ignorance and they have no conscience in the matter. All of this is tragic, but when we see it as evil and focus on it, we hurt our selves. I sense from your comment though, that you do have a good perspective on this. We nee to focus on how much better we are doing once we have the understanding, and then we share this knowledge with the people who are ready to listen. Thanks for being a part of our growing community.😄
@@drekberg You are absolutely correct-My health improves when I focus positively, negativity is, by its nature, unhealthy. I will not focus on the negative, realizing that is negative. Two negatives make a positive. Thank you for the reminder Greg!

@@drekberg Thank you. You have taught me so much. I have started passing the info on to others. The main thing I learned from you was the process of fixing the insulin resistance takes time and to keep going. I need to lose more and it all gets better over time. Even fasting is way easier without carbs because of way less hunger.

How did that work out for you? I hope well, but I'm afraid you will bounce back from any diet which had a name... Just eat good foods in moderation, you don't need to adhere to a 'strict' diet.
Last time I visited a doc, she told me 6 meals a day starting with brown bread with margarine. Really.
Time to look for another doctor ;-)
🙈
Thank you Leonardo Bueno. What HarvardBob said 😄
That's appalling, and so very sad. I wonder how many of their patients become diabetic over time... :(
@@WebbyWunda yeah. Big pharma took over med school. Students just learn protocols of drug treatment.
I have been on Keto for nearly two years and I couldn't be happier. However, I am from Ethiopia and would like to see research on Teff which I have chosen to incorporate in my diet in moderation. ( Teff is Ethiopia's staple food....yes, a grain but gluten free and full of fiber ) I would appreciate your opinion on it as I think it could present an amazing option for those on a low carb life style. Thanks for all you do
After watching so many of health videos, I came to the conclusion that I'm better off just not eating at all
Hi😊 I so agree with you. Its just so confusing, eat this,don't eat that😂 when Im watching all the videos,my husband looks at me like Im crazy 😂 Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
There are videos by a Dr. Brad Stanfield who says quite a few things opposite to what's here. e.g. he says saturated fat is bad. He also argues against the Intermittent Fasting (IF) saying the the weight loss was due to caloric reduction.
My Doctor always tells me not to eat bread but i have but now thanks to learning so much from Dr. Ekberg I am not eating sugar products any more.
Your channel is life-changing. I've watched at least 15 videos on your channel, and this is one of my favorite due to the myth-busting in it. It can be so difficult for an average person to become aware of this important and nuanced information. I'm thankful that you explained it clearly and in such great detail.
Always question any information you get. Dr. Sten 'Avocado Lover and Fruit Hater' Ekberg also is just a human. I am sure he is very competent and gives us a lot of useful advice, but he is by no means perfect. Every single one of those nutrition experts is trying to make us believe they found the one and only 100% true answer to all our questions. The more confident people are with their own opinion, the less you should trust them. 😉
Also many things are a matter of perspective and Dr. Sten Ekberg is only seeing things in regards to health and nutritions. Our seas are already overfished, the Avocado is one of the worst fruits to grow on our planet because of its high water demands and meat also is extremely inefficient to produce.
So how far do we want to go with your own health? Is going from "good health" to "great health" really worth destroying our own planet? What I am saying here is highly simplified of course. I am just saying that there is more to consider than just the stuff in those videos.
Thanks for this video, Dr. Ekberg! You continue to give the straight scoop about health, and we DO appreciate your candor and the effort that goes into these videos! 💕

I know what you say is broadly true. But I think it's important to add that the quality of breads and cereals vary a LOT throughout the world. Being Australian and having lived in North America for 2 years in the past, I can tell you, the commercial bread and cereals in the Americas is SOOOOO much more processed and sweetened than the status-quo in Aus. I was amazed when I first tried commercial bread there. It was like eating cake!
True👍🏽 in Germany we have more then 40 -50 types of bread, some of the full grain types are full of nutrients & fibre & have nothing in common with the american cake bread..
IKR, but the world outside the US doesn't seem to exist on this channel. Very annoying.
@@tempestsonata1102 Why are you surprised? Dr. Ekberg lives and works in Atlanta and his target audience is Americans. You're more than welcome to create content that caters to your neck of the world.
yes, when I visit home from Australia I always need to choose sourdough toast! I guess my tastes have changed.
My son in law from America has said this too, like bread is not even the same food as in Australia

I personally was unable to see weight loss with keto and gained weight because I myself can eat an abundance of fatty meats and go into a caloric surplus fairly easy even with OMAD (can easily eat like 3 lbs of ground beef or steak, fatty meat is a trigger food for me)
Did keto for about 4 months and stopped due to it destroying me mentally. Eventually I was able to get down to 150lbs as an average height male eating mainly chicken, fruit, PLENTY of vegetables, jasmine rice, egg whites, and cut out all high processed foods and unnatural sugars. Whoever finds the time to read this, don’t be discouraged if keto doesn’t work for you, find what does and also make sure that it can contribute to your happiness as well as being a sustainable lifestyle rather than just a diet. Much love ❤️
..
Thank you! I have heard alot about keto, but meat is a huge trigger for me! Including chicken… i plan to do omad now but avoid processed foods! Thank uou for your comment
The yoke is where the protein is and the best of the egg and is the best part not the whites
I stayed with meat and cruciferous veggies for now with some eggs and ghee and sour cream
Eating as less times a day I can (usually it's one or two times only)
Thank you J. Great 😄
Fasting helps me so much. Intermittent fasting has been great but alternate day fasting has gotten me off a plateau. Next I want to try extended fasting.
@@gulfportgyrl8798 Go for it. I'm doing a week long fast right now. It's
None of this is sustainable. Hope you're not setting yourself up for failure.
@@yoseesteve9055 It's absolutely sustainable. Why would you need to eat more than once a day at the most ?? And that's for someone who is very active. The only people who can't or won't are food addicts and completely in denial about it.
Sten Ekberg is very structured and pedagogical as usual and it makes it easier to understand how everything is connected. My breakfast tip for those who eat oatmeal is to mix it up with something else. I always mix with coconut flakes and other seeds and nuts. The porridge also tastes better. I always have mixed berries that I put on top. These are berries such as blackberries, raspberries, black currants, gooseberries and strawberries. The berries taste best when they have the right acidity, not just sweetness. I do not remember when I was sick last time, but during the 30 years I have eaten a similar diet, I have rarely been ill, pepper pepper take in wood as they say. As a child, I also got a big lump of butter on the porridge, which I continued with.
A better tip: literally never eat oatmeal. It is bad for us!
Try replacing the oatmeal with shelled hemp seeds. Oatmeal is high carb.
@@steveonrock what is your source of this conclusion?
Long time ago in Europe I was able to make butter milk by just leaving the glass of milk on the countertop.
Now it just getting putrid and rotten.Why?
brown bread Glycemic Index: 40, whole grain (rye): 34
I like eating the keto way so much, I won't even watch or look at any of the food networks/shows online anymore, and I used to be a huge fan of all of them. I'll admit I used to eat so terribly, I don't know how in the world I managed to reach the age of 67; now, after being on keto for seven weeks, I simply cannot imagine going back to the old way of eating, nor can my body handle it---I had an "emergency" meal two weeks ago from McDonald's, and while I chose the least offensive thing I could find on their menu, I had to throw it away after just three or four bites, it tasted so awful. I can hardly believe I used to eat that vile stuff several times a month!!!
I'll continue to watch and listen to Dr. Ekberg, and to live the healthier, happier keto lifestyle as I watch my weight going down daily, my BP improving so hugely, my doctor is going to be stunned next week when I go to my appointment, and just feeling vastly better than I have in decades.
Hi
you listed practically all food items that trigger my IBS. so correct.
So are sin, adultery, murder, theft, idolatry and the like. Should we also partake of those? Get serious about your body for it is "a temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor 6:19)
PR how is your comment relavent to what we just watched?
God's Word is always relevant. If you do not heed the message you will die in your sins.
@@PR-cq4zc LOL
I've seen people eating the worst food in UK hospitals. The NHS also considers butter, lard and animal fat as unhealthy, but chemical sweetners as healthy.
I'm sorry but I don't trust anyone who claims that oatmeal or fruits are considering as worst food. Fruits might contain sugar but there are also antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, tannins which in compound are slowing down sugar absorbtion in time and some of that sugar won't be even absorbed due to them. As I watch your videos and agree with most of what you say, this is the part when I start to doubt. The only part I can agree with you here is that we should eat mostly vegetables.
Many thanks for a much needed topic. Once a Chiropractor told me it's important to know how to combine the different foods to get the most out of the food. The only example he told me is to always have some kind of tomato with beef to stop inflammation. It doesn't matter if it's tomato juice, sauce, etc.
My doctor told me if I didn’t take a different lifestyle I would get diabetics, she told me bread is good. Wel I eat as less bread as I can. I eat salads eggs and Whole Foods and I feel so much better.lost 8 kilos. Still 12 to go. Thanks for the good information because I never felt so good as I do now.
This is a great visual, spelling it right out. Love your information.
I love steel cut oatmeal sweetened with raw unfiltered honey and blueberries or strawberries!!
I dont get why sweet fruits is considered bad, when their sugar is complex and nutritious. Their ''sugar'' is not the same cane sugar you taste on donuts or soda drinks, kinda like how salmon omega 3 fats are different from butter fat. They're beneficial for human consumption on a daily basis. I mean if fruits are harmful then all vegetarians and vegan would have gone extinct
All the details, facts and figures presented clearly, plus: "...you might as well be just sipping on humming bird juice or something..." lol. Best.
Thank you Clear Blue Sky. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
Cracked me up too 😆
The problem with sticking to healthy alternatives is the cost! I know what's healthy and what to avoid, but it really ads up and to be honest, I can't afford feeding my family of four this way. So from a cost point of view, it's easier said than done.
Ribeye steak is awesome, but the cost isn't £7 a steak here in the UK. Simply can't afford to eat it
Healthy food is cheaper to buy than mcdonalds
Very true. But have you considered the health costs that would come from getting sick and frequent trips to hospital?
It may not be cheap to eat healthy ALL THE TIME, but maybe try to most times.
Wishing you and your family all goodness.
Keeping one's pantry stocked with unhealthy junk food and snacks isn't cheap either.
@@lamariposa5919 No way. The amount of calories you can get at McDonald's for under $5 is astonishing.
I eat all these foods listed (not margarine or soy), and I have never been healthier in my 65 years of life! So, salt is okay? Pasta? Red meats? etc. I've had grandparents that lived well into their 90s eating all this food plus butter, whole milk, cream, half & half, etc., etc., etc. My God, just eat what you want and enjoy YOUR LIFE! smh
@pamelabh3621
Yes. Salt is okay. Ekberg would actually encourage you to consume more butter and fat containing dairy. Fat is not your enemy. Sugar and carbohydrates are. Why carbs? Because they get converted to sugar.
These presentations are just too good for youtube. Thank you for showing interest in our health.
A guy in my workplace frowns upon eating more than one banana in a short period of time, due to potential potassium poisoning! Seriously, some people are devoid of common sense.
I'm interested in body building in my old age. Dr. Ekberg, thank you for teaching me about egg whites and the whole egg. It was on my mind as to what should I eat for best effect when working out. Now I know! Thanks again. :)
Oats are predominately weed round up sprayed as a quicker drying agent
Food awareness will be the next revolution. Smoking education took a long time. Unfortunately alcohol awareness (ignorance) will be bypassed due to cultural constraints. (I avoid many social situations because I cannot afford alcohol for others, let alone for myself.)
Thank you pokeypickle3. Yes😄
Who expects u to buy alcohol if u don't drink? I hope that's not your crowd. If invited to dinner, I never bring wine, but I may bring some great cheese, or a bouquet, occasionally some good Belgian chocolate. BBQ? Just bring some grass fed burgers or a nice salmon!
@Heloise O'Byrne Backyard BBQ's are super-popular here (USA). too. Also can bring a good salsa and chips, salad, potato salad, beans...really anything. I never go out to drink. Too expensive. The drinking holes seem to be filled with the college crowd. I'm not in my 20's.
I love Oatmeal and add Flax ,Hemp seed and cut up prunes and still looking for other things to add like Walnuts and sunflower seeds. I am eating so much better now much thanks to your advice and sharing your knowledge . I love learning things the right way!
Mashing in some white beans is a great way to add nutrition without sacrificing flavor!
That sounds delicious
Is it steel cut oats?
No need to add more carbs/sugar into the oats. Add fats like nuts/seeds/butters. Add some stevia for sweetness instead of prunes.
@@MikeKayK I prefer to use cinnamon instead of stevia. I also add a little bit of grated lemon peel 😋
Resveratrol is formed within the grape when the grape is triggered with an immune response against naturally occurring mold attempting to attack the plant. If the plant was sprayed with anti-mold chemicals, which many are, then the resveratrol is quite low or even non-existent. Organic red wine has higher levels of resveratrol because they are not sprayed and that immune response which creates resveratrol is allowed to naturally occur.
Good info
I ❤❤ Dr. Ekberg's health rating - Horrendous, Bad, Decent/Okay, Great
It does not make sense to claim that bread like rye bread is unhealthy. I understand that processed food and sugar in general is unhealthy, but rye bread, oat meals etc. are purely good for your health. Carbs are not dangerous 😑 It all comes down to having an active lifestyle and eating nutritious, balanced food. The fact that some healthy foods make your blood sugar rise it does not make it unhealthy.
Ekberg is just pushing you eat meat, condemning basically most of veg food.
Wenn ich mich low carb ernähre, komme ich schnell in eine Unterzuckerung .
Carbs are a recent thing promoted because they are cheap and addictive, but essentially just sugar. They are not really food, but more like a drug; a very bad one.
My fatty liver is strictly from alcohol. It would never waste time on fructose since there's no buzz!
I'd like to see a meal plan from Sten.. that'd be good. I've been following Sten for a few months now and I've lost 6Kg (now 78kg/6ft tall man) - amazing stuff.
most difficult is to get rid of wheat all other things are not in my diet.
I reduced from 6/7 tortilla/roti to 2 tortillas of whole wheat daily.
I will try to reduce it more like 1 smal tortilla of whole wheat in a day.
I was 76KG six months ago and now I am 63KG. feelings very healthy very active . many problems are gone
thanks doctor .
Thanks God
RUclips is made amazing by these types of channels and video's. It is such a shame that it is buried amongst a sea of channels promoting misinformation by content creators that lack the knowledge and understanding needed to teach these subjects. Everybody wants to be the next big channel and just regurgitates information they have heard without looking too deeply into the subject matter. I feel blessed to have found you Dr Sten. Your presentation, calm demeanor, in-depth explanations and subtle humour is a breath of fresh air from all the other creators bar 1 or two. I have been following you and your teachings for a few weeks and I am much happier in myself, have more get up and go than I have ever had in my adult life and can think much clearer. Thank you for the hours of work and research that you have put in throughout your life and know it is not wasted one bit. Great man.
it's amazing how we are brain-washed to eat cereal, milk, toast and OJ...
Wurst is with skim milk.
😢
Actually the flavored skim milk, with toxic amounts of frucktose in school lunch programs is wurst. Can't give kids fat, but poisoning the liver is A OK???
Toast and oj. Nothing wrong with cereal (granted you stick to the right ones) or milk.
I got an ad for Honey Nut Cheerios on this video.
Dr. Ekber is palm oil bad or good?
Thank you for sharing life-saving information always. May God bless you and all your endeavors. ❤️🙏
Excellent and very easy to understand presentation as ALL of your teachings are! Thank you.👍🏿
Thank you Gail Miller. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg
👍🏿You’re very welcome, Dr. Ekberg.✌🏿
I just LOVE how they manipulate and mislead us with their terminology based on percentages.....
Bottom line - limit processed food. Lesson learned - on a new journey.
Vegetable oils also cause extreme oxidative stress on the body. These polyunsaturated oils are prone to oxidization, and before its invention by Crisco, heart attacks were virtually unheard of or extremely rare. Probably due to the trans fats in the product, but regardless of that, there's still a consequence of using these oils in the body. This was also compounded by the amount of sugar added to our diets at the tail end of the 19th century. Olive oil and avocado (cold-pressed) contain at least 10% polyunsaturated fats and should be used sparingly in cooking. Butter, lard, beef tallow, and coconut/MCT oil should be your primary source of cooking oils since these oils resist oxidation in the body.
Dr Sten Ekberg a doctor and a true teacher. Thank you explaining things on health in an understandable way sir. Can you make a video on how we can do keto and fasting when we are on holiday? I am in Dubai right now and high carb, high GMO Indian food is staring me in the face all the time.
watch Dr Jason Fung for fasting
Great information on foods with fiber. Many people on RUclips, and elsewhere, are pushing hard to force us into accepting high fiber and whole grain foods as being safe for diabetics. They are not!!! I think your idea of steel cut oats is also excellent. I would add just a couple of tablespoons to my hot cereal which I usually prepare with coconut flakes and chia seeds--more fiber to make a little bit of oats safer!!
At 15:00 dr. Ekberg explains about milk, but any dairy products with low-fat or nonfat compensates the loss of flavor by adding sugar. Low fat and nonfat are very bad for you. Buy it plain and whole milk and then add cinnamon, a bit of fruit and a touch of pure Stevia powder. Totally healthy for you.
What you said about fruits is true. When I was pregnant, my gynae warned me I had gained too much weight and was almost reaching diabetic stage. He asked what I ate that caused this. At that time, it never crossed my mind that too much sweet fruits were bad. During pregnancy, I was eating plenty and plenty of juicy fruits like oranges and watermelons. ( I thought fruits were good for the baby! ) At that time I just reported to him that I was eating normal and in usual quantities and I didn't know how the extra weight came about. Many years later, only I read of the dangers of consuming fruits that contain too much sugars.
I don't think you gained weight because of oranges and watermelons . I really really don't think it's even possible, unless you are chugging literaly kilograms of fruits every day.
@@emperorpalpatine6080 THERES A VERY LARGER AMT OF CARBS IN WATERMELON. DONT THINK U WILL FEEL BETTER
WHY ARE WE YELLING
@@emperorpalpatine6080 Yeah. This Video is crazy, why did so many people watch this and why are there so many doctors misinforming about nutrition in this unscientific manner
@@chinchilla_462 I was just curious about whats on the list. And here is the thing, I would never mention alergies. Anyone can be alergic to pretty much anything. Like I am alergic to penicilin. Does it mean its bad ATB? No it is not. Just my GP had a headache when I recently needed ATB and we had huge shortage and she had to exclude some of the still available because of this.
Hej Dr Ekberg ! Thank you for sharing this is brilliant! Will definitely share this informative video and brilliant video and research always. Take care and keep safe Dr Ekberg 😷👍🏻
Thank you Lina Koh. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
@@drekberg indeed I shall and will Dr Ekberg and thank you again for debunking this ! 🥰👍🏻

Love avocados Dr. Sten. Another eye opener from you. Thanks much♥️🥑
You are welcome Bing Yu. It was my pleasure 😄
I love Dairy, Fruit and Rolled Oats. You make your choices.

Soda Donuts and M&Ms lol he couldn't suppress a little laugh there :D. We've all been there.
Those are part of the Snickers food group.
