Perfectly explained, so clear and easy to understand. I should share your video to my group because there were some people having a phobia of saturated fat as a main cause of heart disease (arteriosclerosis) and high blood pressure. Thank you a lot Dr. Sten Ekberg 🙂 💪
@@raisamahi1006 The air you breath out is heaver than the air you breath in because that is how your body gets rid of the carbon and hydrogen from your food. Carbo-hydrates (sugars) and hydro-carbons (fats) break down and get released from your lungs as carbon dioxide (CO2), and H2O (water) or water vapour. You don't have to do anything to lose weight except breath the oxygen in so that when you breath it out again it carries the weight with it. Just stop eating for long enough so that you get past feeling hungry, then you go into ketosis, which is the state where you've run out of glucose and your body starts breaking down fat cells instead. Ketone energy is highly efficient, it enables you to do incredible things mentally and physically. To get it you have to get past being hungry until you stop feeling hungry even though you haven't eaten anything. Don't do it for too long though because you also need protein, vitamins, minerals and essential fats from food, not just the energy.
I’m one of your patients and I want to publicly say what a great, kind, and generous doctor you are. You truly are about healing the patient and not about making a buck. Thank you.
Yeah! I've been *complaining* abt bg music, as well, telling the video poster that some of us, viewers, might have some *hearing DIFFICULTY* so, the bg music just makes their content MUCH HARDER to *undrstnd* ! WORSE, yet, if they DONT have the *captions* TURNED *ON* ! 😏
“I ate low fat, and I was miserable” Dr. Ekberg. So true. My mom use to say fat is bad for you and she only but skim milk, 2 percent milk, low fat products, no fat products. The worst of the worst. I’m battling obesity, fatty liver, high cholesterol, arteries are starting to clog. When i started my journey I was 330 now I’m 293 in less then 2 months. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for waking me up and educating me!
@@8675-__ you didnt read his comment. Thats exactly what he was saying!?! His mom was taught wrong by food pyramid of 1970s/80s, so fed them wrong, but now he’s learned better and doing the opposite. Reading is always a good thing 😂
It worked fr me. I cut out carbs completely (no rice, no pasta, no potatoes, no sweets or baked goods, n had mostly eggs, chicken some meat, tuna, leafy greens n lost 10kg. It works. Thank u Doc😍
Я стала пить по утрам тёплое молоко, ( до этого чай без сахара), ещё успоколась ( было много стресса) ,за полгода поправилась на 6 кг, @@MariaSantos-kl9pr
I watched the whole vlog and waited for a sales pitch for something. Surprisingly, there were none. Very impressive video with useful facts and to the point.
Good presentation. As an internist, I had my eyes opened to this in the early 1990's after reading "The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet". I angered every nutritionist at the local hospitals but they could not explain to me why my patients' A1C levels came down, when it never did before under their guidance. That was for me the beginning of the change in understanding.
You should check out Dr. Shawn Baker. He got in big trouble for trying to convince his hospital to change dietary guidelines at his hospital. They took his license for several years.
So much of the American diet contains way too many carbs, especially fast food. Pizza, sub sandwiches with chips, Mexican food with tortillas, rice and beans, Chinese food with rice, cheeseburger with fries, etc. I went to eating half my regular portion of carbs and lost 15 pounds. I love salads and I love vegetables dipped in Ranch Dressing.
@@mariamullet6580 All carbs must be eliminated. At some point, however, once insulin resistance has been reversed, small amounts of potatoes, quinoa, oatmeal, etc. may be eaten. Watch a lot of these videos and you will figure it out.
My way to lose stomach bloating and love handles. Skipped breakfast, I ate a healthy lunch, salad chicken breast or salmon one medium potato. Drink milk coffee through out the day and lemon water. Walking, cycling everyday. Evening snack of walnuts, eggs. After four weeks I started to notice love handles going down stomach bloating going away. I am strict with this way. Once or twice week I eat a little more, but healthy. I have cut out all wheat, sugar. It takes time to show results, but worth the trouble. I have more energy, feel healthy and don't look like I an pregnant. Just eat healthy and exercise every day. Good luck. I am 58 yrs old...
I love walking into your classroom and sitting in the front row. Thank you for all you do, totally fascinating and nothing I learned in nursing school and beyond. I hope your channel grows by leaps and bounds!
I started keto and IF after Thanksgiving 2021. It is January 19th, and I am down 31.5 lbs. Thank you! Update: as of April 9, I am down 60 lbs. I have had to do some extended fasts in order to break plateaus, but for the most part, 1 meal a day.
Do you workout at all? Do you have an office job? There’s no way I could do this. I workout twice a day and am active, this would put me in the grave :O
@@88joshuajohnathan it actually wouldn't, you may just need to let up a bit on intensity. I used to walk 9 miles a day in 1.5 hrs on no food. It can be done.
I am a long distance runner and my meal consist of olive oil, a avocados, nuts seeds, eggs, veggies and fish, chicken and once in a while grass fed organ meat. And now I kniw reducing Insulin resistance is the key to flat belly when you eat right Thank yiu so much for this wealth of information. I appreciate you 🙏🏽
I’m a gym rat who has begun following yourself, Eric Berg and Dr Fung. General OMAD and reducing carbs has brought fat weight melting away, my lifts growing and feeling better then ever. I’m now eating whole meats with fat, veggies and strongly reduce carbs and seed oils. Never felt better!!! Thank you!!
@@2bit156 not at all. I can eat more as Protein burns more of its calories being digested and I’m hungry less often. I feel that due to my body getting protein it wants and blood sugar not spiking with too many carbs. I don’t ban all carbs, but try to keep lower amounts naturally via Sweet Potato, Whole Milk, etc. Too extreme any direction I feel is a bad approach.
I've lost over 80 lbs by intermittent fasting, & the ketogenic diet. I finally found the key and it's so easy. I'm really enjoying a deeper understanding of things watching your videos. I'm now learning about eating more organic, grass-fed meats etc. It's a journey. I'm 55, and in the best shape I've been in, in over 20 years. Thank you.
Thank you LaSani. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
@@drekberg count me in as one of those viewers who wants the details and the "science" that establishes what you say. I have great confidence in your recommendations because you back them up. If you think it is appropriate, would you consider doing a video on the topic of Type 2 diabetics with insulin resistance who are taking insulin injections? Specifically once one adopts a low carb or ketogenic diet, what to do about mealtime short acting and long acting insulin that one is taking? Thanks. P.S. one of my business partners is Swedish, and he gives very precise explanations to our students whenever he speaks, particularly in English, so as not to be misunderstood. So I'm used to hearing a lot of details. I work for a Swedish company as an American and it seems to be in the national nature.
Every time the same phases in exact order: -I see the video title and I feel super lucky to learn those facts in a minute -I open the video and there are whole lot of detailed information explained -I say "screw this I'm out" -I listen for a minute and in the end I find myself finished watching the video without even noticing. You are not only good at being a doctor but also surprisingly fine a RUclipsr.
My grandmother cooked in bacon grease and put a 1/4 inch of butter on everything, she lived to 101 with zero health issues along the way. Thank you Dr. for explaining why, you're the best!
We didn’t eat pork but, we used tallow and goat fat in food as well as medicinally. Butter was homemade too. My grandparents lived well into their 90s. And all were cognitively healthy as well. My last living grandma is 90 and you can talk to her like you would with anyone half her age. Healthy fats, and a diet free of the standard American garbage most ppl eat will absolutely preserve the brain.
Exactly, I knew a farmer who ate bacon and eggs every morning and cooked in tallow or bacon fat, very little to no processed fake foods lived into late 90

Incredible educator. I was 50lbs overweight, and never thought of fat as fuel. As soon as I seen it as fuel, I used it as fuel and lost the weight.
If you were in the FDA classes for health and nutrition as I was you wouldn’t feel like you were listening to this guy you’d be drinking the poison fluoride water we drink
Valuable information. Thanks. For most, eat less, move more, sleep enough. Most importantly, start to do so. Go walking. Daily. Increase efforts. Do strength training. Do functional training. Make it a lifestyle. Enjoy.
Love your calm demeanor and clear explanation. You’re so right on every single point. I became vegetarian because my husband is vegetarian. Gained weight and became severely anemic. After coming home from the hospital, I went back to my natural cravings of eating meats/vegetables and I lost 8 lbs. in less than 3 weeks. This was without working out as I still have very low energy from being anemic. Thank you doctor for the clarification.
I lost weight after becoming vegetarian. The key is clean eating. I don't eat a lot of saturated fats or processed foods. Mostly organic beans barley oatmeal avocados veggies and some fruit and lots of water.
I started watching your channel around 5 weeks ago, have to say the fasting is working! I love that fact that by 7pm I don't eat anything more, i never wake up in the morning hungry, by around 1pm or longer, im ready to eat. I also do the abdominal exercisers you recommend, my core is so much tighter. In the week I walk 4 miles a day, (split into two 40 minutes walking time). At the weekends I do 1 hour a day of strengthening, stretching etc exercisers. Your videos are so interesting and educational. I have shared your channel with family and friends, with the comment, watch and learn! It's about being healthy, feeling better, aswell as looking better. They've seen the change in me and its inspired them. Thank you 🥰
One of the first things my cardiac nutritionist told me after my triple bypass last summer was to switch from butter to "tub margarine " . Unbelievable!
The standard average doctor is THE WORST...they have never learned to think outside the box and still instruct their patients according to what they have been taught at university 20/30 or 40 years ago.
Medical doctors have little to no training in nutrition. Nutritionists often have outdated education, therefore also may give poor advice. This doctor has good advice. Listen!
This guy is brilliant. 2-3 days on Keto and I'm losing weight. And I'm loving the food I can eat. I had beef and broccoli today and coffee with cream (no sugar) and cheese cake afterwards. Ate at 3or 4pm and was full. Will not eat again until tomorrow for breakfast. I had 2 meals today down from 3 or 4. Thank you Sten for putting me on the right track. And I was a personal trainer for 25 years.
Goodness Dr. Ekberg! The amount of time and effort you must invest in putting these videos together for us, I for one really, really appreciate it. Hearing things explained so succinctly and clearly, give me a great frame of reference as I go about my day, considering, both when and what to eat. Thank you very much indeed.
@@Kube_Dog Hey Kube, There are NO QUICK explinations to biological processes! Thats all there is to it! If you don’t like it, then you are one of the people who just are not cut out to be interested in it! It’s like reading books! Some people just do not like to read books and some can’t get enough! There are no really quick answers to such deep subjects. OK? You’re totally OK! You just do not have the personality type, that likes the full explanations is what my take on your possibly insulting comment was or was not intended to be.
Dr. Ekberg. I am only at 3:15 in Your presentation and am blown away by Your clear explanation of cortisol and insulin interplay. YOU are saving l-i-v-e-s with this information! Bless You!
I’ve come cross across so many “health tips and suggestions” and none would compare to the quality of Dr. Sten’s videos. Not only it’s easy to understand for anyone and the level of professionalism is unparalleled.
One month into intermittent fasting I already see improvement in my belly fat. I also stopped using insulin The wight lose is pretty slow though but no giving up thank u
Consistency and persistence. Keep your healthy habits going for more than a month and they slowly become the norm. Soon you won't even think about sugar and unnecessary carbs let alone crave them.
One woman in particular come to mind way too or just find shelter and see what they want and was no rules there the kids allowed to stay there he would give us whatever they wanted so ridiculous huh safe keep these days. Silly you silly huh
I am a 65 year old woman and a vegetarian. I have gained 20 lbs in the past 2 years and struggling to even loose a pound why. You inspire me a lot, help 😢😢
I struggled with belly fat most of my adult life even though I am a dancer and very active. I injured my knee and needed a way to maintain my body weight while I wasn't exercising so I decided to try keto and drop 30 lb in 3 months. Even well I am not on keto, I don't eat sugar and I still maintain my body weight. I weigh my high school weight now at 52 years old, and it's staying steady even when I can't make it to the gym. My whole life I tried to eat low-fat, but always had a tummy. Restricting carbs and adding fat back into my diet have made all the difference in the world, including better skin and hair, less depression and foggy brain
Comes frutas? Por qué en la dieta keto están prohibidas casi todas? Está científicamente comprobado que no es solamente fructosa sino muchísimo nutrientes.
@@preciousue You can do it!!!! I also suffered from Obesity, Hypertension and sleep apnea before. But I was able to lose weight last oct. since I’ve started June 2020. until now I only manage my normal weight.
I have been eating the Keto way for 5 weeks, and I have not had migraines since I started. Normally I had migraines several times a month, sometimes several times a week, and I have lost 5 kilograms. I love the Keto living :-)
All diets generally work because they all remove the same stuff, no carbs, sugar, and items with gluten, as well as alcohol!! Whenever you remove these things from your diet you will lose weight!! Keep up the excellent work:)
Yes it does. He also had a video about HIIT training if you wanted to amp things up. You will feel more like exercise after a successful few days of low carbohydrate diet. It may take some studying to educate yourself and get the nourishing of your body correct.
@@JackLondon12 Don't rush the exercise if you are not used to it. Start with just walking. You will not have glucose available and if you are not fat adapted, you may get headaches or feel dizzy or nauseous if you exercise a lot. Once you are fat adapted, you can go back to HIIT training. (Just what I found out for me-- you may be different).
In the UK plates and wine glasses are much bigger than they were in the 1970s and yet people are more sedentary . Plus a worst diet hence more obesity.
Your the only person that can keep me trying hard to take care of myself. Love watching and listening to everything you explain so clearly. On my way to a healthier life and body.
I am about three weeks into an LCHF diet. It’s been a very easy diet to stick to. I love your videos because you explain in detail how things work. You have answered a lot of my LCHF questions. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. Your videos helped me lose 45 lbs in six months! Managed to reverse my 20 years old T2D. It was not the diet. I did Atkinson's before and lost 40 lbs but got it back within a year! It was the IF that did the tricks. Of course I walked 1200km too. Thank God. Didn't know that you could get so much better just by NOT eating!
I lost 45 pounds mostly off my gut. I ate huge meals of meat 2 pounds or more. Then did not eat for a day. Did not go near a gym baby. I think this doc is spot on. I'm sending this to my friend that just got a tummy tuck.
OUTSTANDING! Even though the title of this video pertained to belly fat, I would say this is one of the most thorough videos encompassing all the most important principles of good health and a healthy diet! Having been a registered dietitian since 1982 I am speaking from the great deal of education and experience. I think Dr Ekberg is incredibly good at explaining principles that can get complicated. But you don't have to be a doctor or a dietitian or a scientist to understand his points. I love that he speaks in a very down-to-earth way and that he shares research as a way to support his statements. I totally agree that fat phobia, due to a lot of misinformation that came out starting in the 80s, has really caused people to be incredibly afraid of eating fats. As Dr Ekberg emphasized, the quality of what we eat is just as important as what we eat. Especially when it comes to fat it's extremely important to understand that not all fat is the same in terms of how it affects our bodies. Food sources that come from nature are good for us. Food that comes from a laboratory are not good for us. That's the bottom line. Understanding how our body uses protein, carbohydrates, and fat can make eating healthy much easier. Dr Ekberg definitely knows his stuff! Thank you so much Dr Ekberg for all of your important videos!
I love all these health instruction videos! We have been fed so much misinformation over the years since we all were skinnier and healthier that hearing a little truth and accurate science is like a breath of fresh air.
I'm very happy to have come across you. I want my saturated fats back in my foods. I have gained 70 lbs and believe me, the removal of saturated fats has made no difference other than to change the way things taste.
Q.: What causes belly fat? A.: cortisol (stress, “fight or flight” hormone) *The brain functions better on ketones (when fasting or eating a rather keto diet without too many calories or eating too often) than on carbohydrates.
Yeah, stress causes Cortisol and Marriage causes Stress. So marriage makes me fat! I kind of knew this a LONG time ago. (Joking,..Not Joking) The bigger the pile of makeup and soap products that my wife stacks on the kitchen table, the more she throws her junk all over the house,.....the fatter I get! My life was so simple and neat and uncomplicated when I was single,....and I was so thin.
@@whitespacemarines4308 , I had to laugh at your comment! I appreciate your humor. I do have a suggestion for you... Keep watching Dr. Sten's vids on the science of reversing insulin resistance. Adhere to a low carb diet, and practice intermittent fasting, and the pounds will melt off of you. THEN, I bet you that your wife will be inspired by you, and she'll stop shopping, cluttering and hoarding and begin to pay attention to you again!
@@DonyaLane Oh, she pays attention to me. That is part of the problem. She doesn't stop talking and collecting crap. It is like her Super Power. I wish she was the Invisible Girl instead (lol,...JK!) I have been doing low carb now, but only after doing around 40 diets in 20 years (Including the Vegan Nightmare). The only time I lost weight was when I had to move out of state for a while when my sister was sick. I gave bone marrow and dropped 30lbs (From the time I found out she had cancer until when I moved. And even more by the time I came home to Mrs Talky Talky!). Stress definitely plays a role in my weight gain. I felt like I had nothing left to lose when my sister was sick,...so I stopped caring. And the weight just came off. But I must say, that a lot of my weight is muscle. I do 450lb leg presses, 240-260 seated rows and up to 60lb preacher bench with my Index Fingers (No kidding). BUT,..I get puffy and bloated. I DO think I have insulin resistance. Thank you for your input, I will continue to watch Dr. Sten's videos. Thanks again.
Whenever I listen to u..it's like am in an exclusive class .. everyone are focus and topics and never boring at all.👍👍👍 Simple yet direct and informative just how I like it with no distraction .🙂
Listening to you like listening to good Buddhist monk. Learn something new every single time and love your soothing voice. Please keep up the good work 👍
TD this has been a problem for me.. I get an uncomfortable nervous energy and yes, brain wise as welll and an increase in insomnia which i already have a problem with. Mild anxiety too. None of this is pleasant . I dont like it so don't stay keto. I came across someone mentioning epinephrine related to keto but didnt finish reading it and have not been able to find it again. I think we need to do some research on this. It would be wonderful to get some information and help with this. Dr Ekberg?
Something out there is trying to transform the human race into a sick/fatter/low energy and less intelligent? Because we need fats to function a well-balanced life. Dr. Ekberg's explanation is on point, but how this will help millions of people already addicted to low fat/carbs/sugary drinks and they're feeding this to the babies/toddlers. The lucky ones are listening and changing for the best. I'm one of them. Dr.Ekberg is saving lives!
I accidentally came upon one of your videos. I don't usually watch the longer videos but I watched your entire video of 34 minutes and it seemed like 4 minutes. I was fascinated by it. I still don't understand all of it but am eager to learn more! I subscribed to your videos and plan to watch them all. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. We've been told so many conflicting things about diets and exercises that I'm confused. You explain things clearly and logically. I've always been thin and had a flat stomach. After I turned 70, I gained fat in my belly but did not gain weight in pounds. My sister is exactly the same way. Perhaps you could address this issue in one of your videos. I've read that it's quite a common thing that happens as we get older. I believe that I've been doing my weight training and ab exercises incorrectly. Thanks again. You're super! I even have my husband watching your videos. 😃
@@sacredgeometry536Yeast is a killer. Most don't address that enough. That's the true culprit in most baked goods. You can still eat bread. Not with Yeast. ~ 🦋
Bear in mind that the FDA work together to make many foods high salt, high sugar & high addiction based. Once people are addicted to such unhealthy foods & diets, they develop diseases which they then seek pharmaceuticals to treat. By following the "food pyramid" that the FDA deceptively puts out, people end up funding Big Pharma - as they start, & then have to stay on Big Pharma's "medicines," for years ... IF they don't learn the truth But, those "medicines" are only partial bandaids (if that), & the meds themselves cause many problems & illnesses in people, ultimately leading to death. Notice the name: FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION. They work together, & It is NOT for the health of the people.
Guess who funded that science and research? The food industry. Of course they're going to manipulate the results to what benefits them. Creating a "need" where there isn't one, and marketing us crap we don't need.
I was a sceptic, but I kept watching Dr Ekberg’s videos, and I’ve come to realise his advice is at root quite non-controversial. Cutting sugar from breakfast and lunch and reducing at dinner time is something everyone can and should do. The twist is realising how close starch is to sugar, amd cutting carbs more generally. Personally I’ve cut most (not all) bread from breakfast and lunch and the weight is falling off at a remarkable pace. And that’s the only change I’ve made.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. Keto has been the answer to my health issues. I have been on keto for 5 months , lost 25 pounds and my energy has improved. This is something I can definitely live with and sustain a healthy lifestyle. Thank you again.
I have lost my belly fat simply through walking. During the quarantine I have been walking about 3 hours per day. Haven't fasted. Haven't changed my diet. In 8 weeks I lost 3.5kg and...belly fat gone.
Watch Butter Bob on u tube he has lost over 300 pounds,and shows you what you can't and can't eat . You won't believe what you can actually eat that I thought was bad .
I have been binge watching your videos today! Thank you so much for this education! My husband and I have started keto and alternative day intermittent fasting. We have lost 4kgs each in one week! We are hearing what you are saying and it explains what has happened to us this week and we are so happy to have further information that we have never heard before! Thank you for sharing and giving us an education! This is life changing! We are on board for life, this all makes sense and it’s sustainable too!
I'm SO glad I found this guy. He doesn't try to use his channel as an info-mercial to sell you something. And he doesn't try to goad you or use fear-factor tactics either. Cuts cleanly thru all the hyped-up junk and deals with science, nutrition and our basic biology. And he breaks everything down in such a way that you don't have to have a medical background to understand it. HUGE Appreciation for all his time and effort!!
As a 100-lb, 61" H, 80-year old woman, I'd like to have guidelines on the number of calories required for proper weight and what my weight should be. I eat two large meals of healthful foods a day, with an occasional binge of sweets that I always regret eating. I watched your video that mentioned the amount of exercise that I should have. Thanks, Dr Ekberg for your informative and concise videos.
This is an important video. I'm over 70, extremely active with sports, like MTB and am just starting to struggle with the appearance of some fat on my belly which won't budge.
Thank you so much for putting these videos together...I've been doing IF for 6 weeks now and I'm already seeing good weight loss results. I've never been successful with dieting before now and I'm 60 yrs. old. Thanks again for giving us the truth !
Yo he llevado sus consejos yhe perdido en 15 días 8centimetros de grasa en mi vientre muchas gracias Doctor por su programa saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México Dios lo bendiga
I am still floored that I bought into the low fat myth for all those years, and just got fatter. I still have a long way to go toward getting healthy, but I am heading that way. I'm down about 60 lbs from LCHF. It's just frightening when I grew up thinking you could trust the "experts." Kind of don't know who to believe. Although I know cutting carbs and eating healthy fat works, based on my personal experiences in recent months.
Thanks for posting that comment Donna. I'm just getting started on LCHF after 30 years as a Type 2 diabetic. I've really put on weight since insulin was prescribed a few years ago, even though I was eating a strict ADA diet. So far, after about a month of LCHF I'm having a much easier time regulating blood sugar while using half the insulin. I have about 75 pounds to lose, all of which packed on since I returned to the US, where the doc's first thought was the needle, all on about 1800 calories a day. It did fix the blood sugar numbers, but made me as big as a house. I was told that this would be my reality until I died. Comments like yours let me know that there is a very real possibility that this might work for me. Thanks again.
@@PPISAFETY Definitely will work. I am a carb addict but lchf stops the cravings I have lost 23 Ibs in 12 weeks. Recently moved to carnivore diet which is even better. We don't need one single carb they are not essential like protein and fat are. I now eat real food not junk food and I feel far better. Once your body is getting the proper nutrition it's not constantly wanting something else to eat. I now look upon trans fats, sugar and flour as poisonous to my body.
Dr. Sten you're THE BEST! I hope you plan on publishing a book. A compilation of all this information as a reference book would replace almost all the other books on my shelf!
I’m so glad I found you site. I’m having a lot of problems with my weight for the last least 6 months. The COVID lockdowns & such has not helped me. The doctors say their are a lot of hormonal issue. Yes it’s true that humans have not been informed properly about our food intake. ✨
I recently dropped all sugar, bread and other carbs and switched to greek yoghurt nuts berries veg meat and cheese all single ingredient whole foods and I am looking forward to the results over the next few weeks.
Greetings, Dr. Ekberg. First of all I'd like to thank you for your marvellous work through your videos. Thanks to you I was able to drop 59 pounds in a matter of 70 days, and still going strong. I've known about low carb culture for a while but you're the first person I know of to break it down in such detail, and to tackle the matter of insulin resistance. Now I'm confident to say that I really know how that system works. Thank you again, very much.
Long-time subscriber and overall health/keto nut. THIS VIDEO is the most informative and best-explanation I have ever watched on this subject. THANK YOU! Dr. Eckberg for your tireless and continual fight to overcome the false information out there. You are a health Rock Star! As a Registered Nurse, I sincerely Thank you, sir!
Fantastic session! Important information presented in a direct and simple way. I feel like I was just in med school and loved it. Learned so much! Thank you!!!
Thanks doc. Been on a fast for 3 days without any food. Day 2 and 3 were bad but I feel better today. Been on ketosis from day 3. Am not sure when I'll break my fast. Will listen to my body. I've started taking some supplements also today so that I can go as long as possible.
I appreciate the thumbnail to this video. The before/after- drawings both show an equally joyful face. - Thanks a lot for not being cheap by placing a sad face vs. a happy face.
I grew up on margarine because my parents thought it was way healthier than butter, and they never allowed butter in the house except for special occasions. Always thought of it as the sad alternative to butter, and was more than happy to kick it to the curb once I lived on my own... parents still living a sad margarine life.
We live in a world where we are being fed with a lot of misleading information and lies. Imagine Nutella chocolate being marketed as a healthy breakfast for children...☹
I hate margarine. I cannot even stand the smell of it and fortunately my instincts always stopped me believing the garbage about butter, rags and meat.
The urge to say Thank you before even listening to the video because I know I am about to learn something new and intelligent about my anatomy ❤️❤️🙏 Thank you
I wish my father and I had known this valuable information long time ago before he got diagnosed with high grade retroperitoneal sarcoma wich eventually killed him ☹️. Never tought he was going to get cancer because he was a professional long distance runner, but he could never got rid of his belly fat...Now I kwow because he was advised to eat 5 meals a day and high on carbs such as rice, pasta and fruits...I wish he hadnt suffer 18 months with this horrible dissease...
Интересная гипотеза... 👍 Я как висцеральный терапевт с длительным опытом заметила и осознала, что жир накапливается в зоне патологии внутренних органов. В области пупка- тонкий кишечник, в области эпигастрия- органы эпигастрия, жир на боках- почки, жир на ягодицах- органы малого таза и т.д. Жир образует " подушку безопасности для больного органа", так называемый " спасательный круг" Поэтому, причинно-следственные связи приводят нас в живот.

Perfectly explained, so clear and easy to understand. I should share your video to my group because there were some people having a phobia of saturated fat as a main cause of heart disease (arteriosclerosis) and high blood pressure. Thank you a lot Dr. Sten Ekberg 🙂 💪
Dr.Sten. Can you share your source of this lecture. Thank you. You should be lecturing in medical school. Keep up the good work.
I am 12 years old how should get thin
Dr. Ekberg, any tips on how to get rid of the food residue in the belly? How to do properly the cleanse?
@@raisamahi1006 The air you breath out is heaver than the air you breath in because that is how your body gets rid of the carbon and hydrogen from your food. Carbo-hydrates (sugars) and hydro-carbons (fats) break down and get released from your lungs as carbon dioxide (CO2), and H2O (water) or water vapour. You don't have to do anything to lose weight except breath the oxygen in so that when you breath it out again it carries the weight with it. Just stop eating for long enough so that you get past feeling hungry, then you go into ketosis, which is the state where you've run out of glucose and your body starts breaking down fat cells instead. Ketone energy is highly efficient, it enables you to do incredible things mentally and physically. To get it you have to get past being hungry until you stop feeling hungry even though you haven't eaten anything. Don't do it for too long though because you also need protein, vitamins, minerals and essential fats from food, not just the energy.
I’m one of your patients and I want to publicly say what a great, kind, and generous doctor you are. You truly are about healing the patient and not about making a buck. Thank you.
I wish he had his practice in California
Are you available long distance? I'm in florida....?
You are very lucky indeed to have Dr Ekberg personally help you. !!

You just wasted your time. Not me, just read comments, im already on keto/lo-carb diet.
Good presentation. As an internist, I had my eyes opened to this in the early 1990's after reading "The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet". I angered every nutritionist at the local hospitals but they could not explain to me why my patients' A1C levels came down, when it never did before under their guidance. That was for me the beginning of the change in understanding.
Dr how can we teach Drs what you learned? I wish I could find a Dr like you. None out there!!
You should check out Dr. Shawn Baker. He got in big trouble for trying to convince his hospital to change dietary guidelines at his hospital. They took his license for several years.
@@susanfudge1737 what?!?! I did not know that!! Crazy
So much of the American diet contains way too many carbs, especially fast food. Pizza, sub sandwiches with chips, Mexican food with tortillas, rice and beans, Chinese food with rice, cheeseburger with fries, etc.
I went to eating half my regular portion of carbs and lost 15 pounds. I love salads and I love vegetables dipped in Ranch Dressing.

Conclusion: Cut the carbs (sugar, alcohol and starch) significantly!
Including potatoes??
@@mariamullet6580 Emphatically yes, including cutting out potatoes (and sweet potatoes and yams).
@@jewelweed6880 i thought sweet potatoes was healthy
About the oatmeal??
@@mariamullet6580 All carbs must be eliminated. At some point, however, once insulin resistance has been reversed, small amounts of potatoes, quinoa, oatmeal, etc. may be eaten. Watch a lot of these videos and you will figure it out.
My way to lose stomach bloating and love handles.
Skipped breakfast, I ate a healthy lunch, salad chicken breast or salmon one medium potato. Drink milk coffee through out the day and lemon water. Walking, cycling everyday. Evening snack of walnuts, eggs.
After four weeks I started to notice love handles going down stomach bloating going away. I am strict with this way. Once or twice week I eat a little more, but healthy. I have cut out all wheat, sugar. It takes time to show results, but worth the trouble. I have more energy, feel healthy and don't look like I an pregnant.
Just eat healthy and exercise every day. Good luck. I am 58 yrs old...

My grandmother cooked in bacon grease and put a 1/4 inch of butter on everything, she lived to 101 with zero health issues along the way. Thank you Dr. for explaining why, you're the best!
That's a smart grandma.
We didn’t eat pork but, we used tallow and goat fat in food as well as medicinally.
Butter was homemade too.
My grandparents lived well into their 90s. And all were cognitively healthy as well. My last living grandma is 90 and you can talk to her like you would with anyone half her age.
Healthy fats, and a diet free of the standard American garbage most ppl eat will absolutely preserve the brain.
Exactly, I knew a farmer who ate bacon and eggs every morning and cooked in tallow or bacon fat, very little to no processed fake foods lived into late 90
Incredible educator. I was 50lbs overweight, and never thought of fat as fuel. As soon as I seen it as fuel, I used it as fuel and lost the weight.

Love your calm demeanor and clear explanation. You’re so right on every single point. I became vegetarian because my husband is vegetarian. Gained weight and became severely anemic. After coming home from the hospital, I went back to my natural cravings of eating meats/vegetables and I lost 8 lbs. in less than 3 weeks. This was without working out as I still have very low energy from being anemic. Thank you doctor for the clarification.

I started watching your channel around 5 weeks ago, have to say the fasting is working! I love that fact that by 7pm I don't eat anything more, i never wake up in the morning hungry, by around 1pm or longer, im ready to eat. I also do the abdominal exercisers you recommend, my core is so much tighter. In the week I walk 4 miles a day, (split into two 40 minutes walking time). At the weekends I do 1 hour a day of strengthening, stretching etc exercisers. Your videos are so interesting and educational. I have shared your channel with family and friends, with the comment, watch and learn! It's about being healthy, feeling better, aswell as looking better. They've seen the change in me and its inspired them. Thank you 🥰

So glad you found this Dr!🙏
The standard average doctor is THE WORST...they have never learned to think outside the box and still instruct their patients according to what they have been taught at university 20/30 or 40 years ago.
Medical doctors have little to no training in nutrition. Nutritionists often have outdated education, therefore also may give poor advice. This doctor has good advice. Listen!
@Mother Earth Garden Club
I recently read that 4 years of a doctor's training they get only 1/2 hour of nutritional instruction That is just insane.
This guy is brilliant. 2-3 days on Keto and I'm losing weight. And I'm loving the food I can eat. I had beef and broccoli today and coffee with cream (no sugar) and cheese cake afterwards. Ate at 3or 4pm and was full. Will not eat again until tomorrow for breakfast. I had 2 meals today down from 3 or 4. Thank you Sten for putting me on the right track. And I was a personal trainer for 25 years.

I struggled with belly fat most of my adult life even though I am a dancer and very active. I injured my knee and needed a way to maintain my body weight while I wasn't exercising so I decided to try keto and drop 30 lb in 3 months. Even well I am not on keto, I don't eat sugar and I still maintain my body weight. I weigh my high school weight now at 52 years old, and it's staying steady even when I can't make it to the gym. My whole life I tried to eat low-fat, but always had a tummy. Restricting carbs and adding fat back into my diet have made all the difference in the world, including better skin and hair, less depression and foggy brain

@@JackLondon12 Don't rush the exercise if you are not used to it. Start with just walking.

I lost 45 pounds mostly off my gut. I ate huge meals of meat 2 pounds or more. Then did not eat for a day. Did not go near a gym baby. I think this doc is spot on. I'm sending this to my friend that just got a tummy tuck.
OUTSTANDING! Even though the title of this video pertained to belly fat, I would say this is one of the most thorough videos encompassing all the most important principles of good health and a healthy diet!
Having been a registered dietitian since 1982 I am speaking from the great deal of education and experience. I think Dr Ekberg is incredibly good at explaining principles that can get complicated. But you don't have to be a doctor or a dietitian or a scientist to understand his points. I love that he speaks in a very down-to-earth way and that he shares research as a way to support his statements.
I totally agree that fat phobia, due to a lot of misinformation that came out starting in the 80s, has really caused people to be incredibly afraid of eating fats.
As Dr Ekberg emphasized, the quality of what we eat is just as important as what we eat. Especially when it comes to fat it's extremely important to understand that not all fat is the same in terms of how it affects our bodies.
Food sources that come from nature are good for us. Food that comes from a laboratory are not good for us. That's the bottom line. Understanding how our body uses protein, carbohydrates, and fat can make eating healthy much easier.
Dr Ekberg definitely knows his stuff! Thank you so much Dr Ekberg for all of your important videos!
If it grows on a plant... eat it. If it's made in a plant... don't eat it!
I love all these health instruction videos! We have been fed so much misinformation over the years since we all were skinnier and healthier that hearing a little truth and accurate science is like a breath of fresh air.
I'm very happy to have come across you. I want my saturated fats back in my foods. I have gained 70 lbs and believe me, the removal of saturated fats has made no difference other than to change the way things taste.

Q.: What causes belly fat?
A.: cortisol (stress, “fight or flight” hormone)
*The brain functions better on ketones (when fasting or eating a rather keto diet without too many calories or eating too often) than on carbohydrates.
Thank you rockonmadonna. I have a few videos on that.
Yeah, stress causes Cortisol and Marriage causes Stress. So marriage makes me fat! I kind of knew this a LONG time ago. (Joking,..Not Joking)

@@whitespacemarines4308 , I had to laugh at your comment! I appreciate your humor. I do have a suggestion for you... Keep watching Dr. Sten's vids on the science of reversing insulin resistance. Adhere to a low carb diet, and practice intermittent fasting, and the pounds will melt off of you. THEN, I bet you that your wife will be inspired by you, and she'll stop shopping, cluttering and hoarding and begin to pay attention to you again!
@@DonyaLane Oh, she pays attention to me. That is part of the problem. She doesn't stop talking and collecting crap. It is like her Super Power. I wish she was the Invisible Girl instead (lol,...JK!)
I have been doing low carb now, but only after doing around 40 diets in 20 years (Including the Vegan Nightmare). The only time I lost weight was when I had to move out of state for a while when my sister was sick. I gave bone marrow and dropped 30lbs (From the time I found out she had cancer until when I moved. And even more by the time I came home to Mrs Talky Talky!). Stress definitely plays a role in my weight gain. I felt like I had nothing left to lose when my sister was sick,...so I stopped caring. And the weight just came off.
But I must say, that a lot of my weight is muscle. I do 450lb leg presses, 240-260 seated rows and up to 60lb preacher bench with my Index Fingers (No kidding). BUT,..I get puffy and bloated. I DO think I have insulin resistance.
Thank you for your input, I will continue to watch Dr. Sten's videos.

Dr Ekberg?
Something out there is trying to transform the human race into a sick/fatter/low energy and less intelligent? Because we need fats to function a well-balanced life. Dr. Ekberg's explanation is on point, but how this will help millions of people already addicted to low fat/carbs/sugary drinks and they're feeding this to the babies/toddlers. The lucky ones are listening and changing for the best. I'm one of them. Dr.Ekberg is saving lives!
I accidentally came upon one of your videos. I don't usually watch the longer videos but I watched your entire video of 34 minutes and it seemed like 4 minutes. I was fascinated by it. I still don't understand all of it but am eager to learn more! I subscribed to your videos and plan to watch them all. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. We've been told so many conflicting things about diets and exercises that I'm confused. You explain things clearly and logically. I've always been thin and had a flat stomach. After I turned 70, I gained fat in my belly but did not gain weight in pounds. My sister is exactly the same way. Perhaps you could address this issue in one of your videos. I've read that it's quite a common thing that happens as we get older. I believe that I've been doing my weight training and ab exercises incorrectly. Thanks again. You're super! I even have my husband watching your videos. 😃
The way you say “the body” is everything. I love listening to you!💚
For me it's the alcohol. I can still have a bit of sweets, but alcohol is poison to my stomach bloat.
Yeast and candida molds and cortisol is why alcohol puts on weight
@@sacredgeometry536Yeast is a killer. Most don't address that enough. That's the true culprit in most baked goods. You can still eat bread. Not with Yeast.

Marketing of our food has been a disaster. We've been scammed by a bunch of marketers and scientists that used assumptions that all fat is the same.
Bear in mind that the FDA work together to make many foods high salt, high sugar & high addiction based. Once people are addicted to such unhealthy foods & diets, they develop diseases which they then seek pharmaceuticals to treat. By following the "food pyramid" that the FDA deceptively puts out, people end up funding Big Pharma - as they start, & then have to stay on Big Pharma's "medicines," for years ... IF they don't learn the truth But, those "medicines" are only partial bandaids (if that), & the meds themselves cause many problems & illnesses in people, ultimately leading to death. Notice the name: FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION. They work together, & It is NOT for the health of the people.
@@michelleduncan9965 just today I saw that canned ravioli has extremely similarities to a "nutrition" bar. 😳
Total manipulation !!😡
Guess who funded that science and research? The food industry. Of course they're going to manipulate the results to what benefits them. Creating a "need" where there isn't one, and marketing us crap we don't need.
I was a sceptic, but I kept watching Dr Ekberg’s videos, and I’ve come to realise his advice is at root quite non-controversial. Cutting sugar from breakfast and lunch and reducing at dinner time is something everyone can and should do. The twist is realising how close starch is to sugar, amd cutting carbs more generally. Personally I’ve cut most (not all) bread from breakfast and lunch and the weight is falling off at a remarkable pace. And that’s the only change I’ve made.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. Keto has been the answer to my health issues. I have been on keto for 5 months , lost 25 pounds and my energy has improved. This is something I can definitely live with and sustain a healthy lifestyle. Thank you again.
I have lost my belly fat simply through walking. During the quarantine I have been walking about 3 hours per day. Haven't fasted. Haven't changed my diet. In 8 weeks I lost 3.5kg and...belly fat gone.
Watch Butter Bob on u tube he has lost over 300 pounds,and shows you what you can't and can't eat . You won't believe what you can actually eat that I thought was bad .
I have been binge watching your videos today! Thank you so much for this education! My husband and I have started keto and alternative day intermittent fasting. We have lost 4kgs each in one week! We are hearing what you are saying and it explains what has happened to us this week and we are so happy to have further information that we have never heard before! Thank you for sharing and giving us an education! This is life changing! We are on board for life, this all makes sense and it’s sustainable too!
This man should have millions of subs no fluff just facts as far as we know today thank you Dr
I'm SO glad I found this guy. He doesn't try to use his channel as an info-mercial to sell you something. And he doesn't try to goad you or use fear-factor tactics either. Cuts cleanly thru all the hyped-up junk and deals with science, nutrition and our basic biology. And he breaks everything down in such a way that you don't have to have a medical background to understand it. HUGE Appreciation for all his time and effort!!
Update he has over 1mil subs as of Aug 2021 😊
As a 100-lb, 61" H, 80-year old woman, I'd like to have guidelines on the number of calories required for proper weight and what my weight should be.
I eat two large meals of healthful foods a day, with an occasional binge of sweets that I always regret eating. I watched your video that mentioned the amount of exercise that I should have.
Thanks, Dr Ekberg for your informative and concise videos.
This is an important video. I'm over 70, extremely active with sports, like MTB and am just starting to struggle with the appearance of some fat on my belly which won't budge.
Man I cannot get enough of this guy. The Truuuuuuuth!!!!
The percentage breakdown of which organs use how many calories is incredibly helpful. I haven't seen this kind of info anywhere else. Thank you!
It's at 16:19 for those interested
Thank you so much for putting these videos together...I've been doing IF for 6 weeks now and I'm already seeing good weight loss results. I've never been successful with dieting before now and I'm 60 yrs. old. Thanks again for giving us the truth !
Thank you Michael Roach. It's just the way it works.
Yo he llevado sus consejos yhe perdido en 15 días 8centimetros de grasa en mi vientre muchas gracias Doctor por su programa saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México Dios lo bendiga
I lost 40 pounds due to fasting and cutting out down carbs and sugar thanks to this channel.
This makes a whole lot of sense to me! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for this explanation and the educational information!!
I am still floored that I bought into the low fat myth for all those years, and just got fatter. I still have a long way to go toward getting healthy, but I am heading that way. I'm down about 60 lbs from LCHF. It's just frightening when I grew up thinking you could trust the "experts." Kind of don't know who to believe. Although I know cutting carbs and eating healthy fat works, based on my personal experiences in recent months.
Thanks for posting that comment Donna. I'm just getting started on LCHF after 30 years as a Type 2 diabetic. I've really put on weight since insulin was prescribed a few years ago, even though I was eating a strict ADA diet. So far, after about a month of LCHF I'm having a much easier time regulating blood sugar while using half the insulin. I have about 75 pounds to lose, all of which packed on since I returned to the US, where the doc's first thought was the needle, all on about 1800 calories a day. It did fix the blood sugar numbers, but made me as big as a house. I was told that this would be my reality until I died.
Comments like yours let me know that there is a very real possibility that this might work for me. Thanks again.
Tom Crawford It will almost certainly work for you. Listen to the Diet Doctor podcast with Dr David Unwin if you have any doubts.
@@PPISAFETY Definitely will work. I am a carb addict but lchf stops the cravings I have lost 23 Ibs in 12 weeks. Recently moved to carnivore diet which is even better. We don't need one single carb they are not essential like protein and fat are. I now eat real food not junk food and I feel far better. Once your body is getting the proper nutrition it's not constantly wanting something else to eat. I now look upon trans fats, sugar and flour as poisonous to my body.
Dr. Sten you're THE BEST! I hope you plan on publishing a book. A compilation of all this information as a reference book would replace almost all the other books on my shelf!
I’m so glad I found you site. I’m having a lot of problems with my weight for the last least 6 months. The COVID lockdowns & such has not helped me. The doctors say their are a lot of hormonal issue. Yes it’s true that humans have not been informed properly about our food intake. ✨
I recently dropped all sugar, bread and other carbs and switched to greek yoghurt nuts berries veg meat and cheese all single ingredient whole foods and I am looking forward to the results over the next few weeks.
Greetings, Dr. Ekberg. First of all I'd like to thank you for your marvellous work through your videos. Thanks to you I was able to drop 59 pounds in a matter of 70 days, and still going strong. I've known about low carb culture for a while but you're the first person I know of to break it down in such detail, and to tackle the matter of insulin resistance. Now I'm confident to say that I really know how that system works. Thank you again, very much.
What did you eat, if you ate at all?
Thank you 😊😊 very much letting us know how good it is how our body works
Exercise is also very important at least 45 minutes 3-4 x a week
Long-time subscriber and overall health/keto nut. THIS VIDEO is the most informative and best-explanation I have ever watched on this subject. THANK YOU! Dr. Eckberg for your tireless and continual fight to overcome the false information out there. You are a health Rock Star! As a Registered Nurse, I sincerely Thank you, sir!
박사님의 훌륭한 강의 감사합니다♡
It's refreshing to see Doctor that is truly representative of the Chiropractic Physician education
That’s one of the best explanations of how the body uses food I have come across. Very helpful!
This guy is incredible. He's provides more information and confidence in what I need to do than any doctor I've ever visited in all my life.
Fantastic session! Important information presented in a direct and simple way. I feel like I was just in med school and loved it. Learned so much! Thank you!!!
Thanks doc. Been on a fast for 3 days without any food. Day 2 and 3 were bad but I feel better today. Been on ketosis from day 3. Am not sure when I'll break my fast. Will listen to my body. I've started taking some supplements also today so that I can go as long as possible.
I appreciate the thumbnail to this video.
The before/after- drawings both show an equally joyful face. - Thanks a lot for not being cheap by placing a sad face vs. a happy face.
I grew up on margarine because my parents thought it was way healthier than butter, and they never allowed butter in the house except for special occasions. Always thought of it as the sad alternative to butter, and was more than happy to kick it to the curb once I lived on my own... parents still living a sad margarine life.
nice that they are alive
Also, margarine was cheaper than butter, and advertising pushed margarine as healthy.
We live in a world where we are being fed with a lot of misleading information and lies. Imagine Nutella chocolate being marketed as a healthy breakfast for children...☹
I hate margarine. I cannot even stand the smell of it and fortunately my instincts always stopped me believing the garbage about butter, rags and meat.
@ Kate D Have u guys tried to recommend Doctor's video to your parents with the highlights of NO MORE MargariNE ⁉️
The urge to say Thank you before even listening to the video because I know I am about to learn something new and intelligent about my anatomy ❤️❤️🙏 Thank you
I wish my father and I had known this valuable information long time ago before he got diagnosed with high grade retroperitoneal sarcoma wich eventually killed him ☹️. Never tought he was going to get cancer because he was a professional long distance runner, but he could never got rid of his belly fat...Now I kwow because he was advised to eat 5 meals a day and high on carbs such as rice, pasta and fruits...I wish he hadnt suffer 18 months with this horrible dissease...
Интересная гипотеза... 👍 Я как висцеральный терапевт с длительным опытом заметила и осознала, что жир накапливается в зоне патологии внутренних органов.
В области пупка- тонкий кишечник, в области эпигастрия- органы эпигастрия, жир на боках- почки, жир на ягодицах- органы малого таза и т.д.
Жир образует " подушку безопасности для больного органа", так называемый " спасательный круг"
Поэтому, причинно-следственные связи приводят нас в живот. А тут много работы: диета, здоровый образ жизни, висцеральный самомассаж❤
