I like your opinion about keto. I am pleased as you have given a nice clear account that back's up Dr Eric Berg's theory question does bacon and egg and natural saturated fat become a risk if you combine with hi carbs ?
Three years later after this video and I'm one more who has ended diabetes, high blood pressure. Down over 60 pounds from 10 months ago, down 140 pounds from 12 years ago. Thank you Doctor, you are needed
@okritsky Type 1 is a disorder. An organ in your body is not functioning and never will. Type 2 has a perfectly functioning pancreas which is creating insulin just fine. Type 1 and Type 2 are nothing the same.
I kicked big pharma to the curb one year ago. I lost 150 pounds (had to put a few pounds back on as I got a little too thin). I'm no longer diabetic.....have excellent blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I look 10 years younger. Good riddance to big pharma.....they are off my pay roll!
I was keto 5 months and tried carnivore 2 days ago and it was horrible terrible I woke UP at 3 am because my fast heart beat, then my chest hurt a lot wow it was a nightmare now Im getting back to keto with spinachs avocado and chards, its better for me those low glycemic index food than zero carb from carnivore :)
It is not necessary to be carnivore in keto, I'm a vegetarian, consume milk products like cheese and don't eat egg, I've choose foods from the list of Dr Ekberg, I'm a pre-diabetic plus have problem in digesting system , and I'm doing well now , my sugar level is in range, no problem with digestion anymore, I'm very happy, I don't have to take pills, you just have to understand your body and adjust with the diet
@@valvijosevalverde3433 carnivore diet doesn't work for all people. It depends on your DNA(where your ancestors lived for the previous thousands or tens of thousands of years
@@drekberg good answer. I've yet to find a doctor that doesn't piss me off. But to compare you with Dr. Berg is saying a lot. I will give you a try. And I will definately give you my opinion.
What answers are you talking about the guy say " study show that" without never quoting any name or any result and you say his explanations are awesome ?
The reason that keto and IF works, it's because it's the normal thing for the human body. Your channel is a treasure library I recently found and made my life better. Thank you !
Been keto for 3 years. Reversed my diabetes, lost 60 pounds, and improvred my lipids. I also feel better and have more ambition and energy than I ever have in my life.
I am from Mediterranean and I grew up eating lots of vegetables, fruits, fish and some corn bread. Since I came to US, I lost 15 pounds because I couldn’t eat most of the foods, they are just too sweet and greasy.
I know what you mean. I felt the same way when I came from Sweden. Lots of sugar and fake, chemical flavors. Unfortunately I ate a lot of junk before I learned better.
@@drekberg It's amazing how, as I've moved completely away from processed foods, they have taken on such a chemical flavor when I'd had a bite of them. Yuck. Real food tastes so much better
I have reached goal of weights but what to do when I’m bending down and get up I feel dizzy or light headed that I hang on to the wall till dissipated .
been Keto for a few months and my Rosacea has completely gone, going Keto has made the inflammation in my body disappear. the weight loss is just a bonus for me
I’ve been on strict clean Keto + OMAD for five days and already feel the difference. No more cravings! I heard Keto long time ago but thought it would cause a lot of problems because of high fat. After watching Dr. Ekberg’s videos, I changed my mind as I felt I had truly understood the concept this time. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for explaining everything so well. I love how you use the simplest language to enable us understand key concepts. “When it comes to fat, it’s about quality.” This one is my favourite!
When watching Dr Ekbergs 'tutorials ' I feel as though he is talking exclusively to me. I am absorbing every word and learning. Absolutely spot on with his delivery of knowledge. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you TheSuperHarrygeorge. 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 You are very welcome . You are a font of knowledge and just wish this was more widely understood by conventional 'dietitians ' and nutritionists. They are still pushing the old flawed food pyramid.!
For less than 2 months on keto + 18/6 fasting + 45 minutes a day intensive evening walking, l have already lost 40 pounds from my previous weight of 230 pounds...!!! I'm a man, 61 years old, my height is 6'00"...😊💪
Almost 65 and have done Keto and intermittent fasting for 10 months. I feel great!, lost weight, walking, running and skiing. I was pre diabetic early last year. I have been sugarless for 9 years now. Thank you for helping us understand our bodies and getting them to feel much younger than they are. My doctor said to keep doing what I was doing because my exam was excellent.
Exactly! I believe that we need to look at the big picture. Understanding human physiology and the historic perspective is our best clue to what human are suppose to eat.
Dr. Berry, have you ever heard of Dr. Richard K. Bernstein? He's been on a keto diet for over 50 years. He has been a type 1 diabetic since the 70's and has never had any complications that come with diabetes for this reason. He's presently about 85 years old and still making videos on YT teaching people how to successfully live with diabetes through a low carb lifestyle.
Sten Ekbeg is one of the best! Full of key facts without any padding -- excellent presenter with great visuals and puts across complex information in a clearly understood way for his audience. Great synthesis of most recent and comprehensive research findings.
Thank you sarah Thomas. 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.
Thanks for the encouragement. When I was in cardio rehab five years ago they pushed 40 grams of fat at most per day. Then the cardiologist increased my medication to keep my heart rate down and my blood pressure under 100/70. I gained about 30 pounds and am now diabetic. I truly believe following the cardiologist's directions put me in the boat I am today. I cut drastically carbs in January and have seen a dramatic improvement in my sugar levels almost immediately. I started Keto yesterday to help me with the weight loss.
Ever since I found your channel and stopped being afraid of fat, I feel so incredibly satisfied after meals. I have no craving for sugary junk, which is crazy because I've always had a bad sweet tooth. Not to mention, the high quality fats help me fast longer and make me feel more alert, energetic and motivated. I am shocked that I lived for so long doing something different..
Im shocked too...can not believe that I am a faster. Was a bad sugar carb junkie. Don't miss any part of any of it. My health and life improvements are uncomprehensible to the carb addicted sick people out there. Why is keto not taught to drs and nutritionalist. We would halve world sickness within weeks.
This guy is great. As a FP and Sports Medicine Physician I find his information is about the best you’re going to run into these days. I hope other physicians are listening and watching and then teaching whatever they find valuable to their patients.
Nov 17th, 2023, I had both feet in the grave and the key in the ignition. Instead of dying Devine intervention found my 1st Dr. Ekberg video that day. Day 1, Braggs Apple cider vinegar. No reflux or leg cramps that night. I was sold. 2 1/2 months later, and many Dr. Ekberg videos, not only am I alive, I'm thriving. And it seems anything I have a guestion, boom, another Dr. Ekberg video pops up. I can't sing your praises enough. Thank you so much for debunking all the misinformation. You are a life saver, at least mine. ❤
I have been watching so many of Dr. Elberg’s videos. I have adapted the information he shares. Since April of 2021 I have lost 24 lbs slowly and steadily. My mood and energy level is so much more balanced and I sleep better and handle stress better after applying the diet and exercise methods I began learning about in his videos. It is now December 2021. My daily walking routine along with my low carb, whole food diet has been joyful and healing! I was vegan before and now that I eat mostly plant based with small amounts of organic and grass fed animal based foods I feel like a brand new human being! Looking forward to getting down to my goal weight of 200 lbs. by the end of 2022. Thank You Dr. Ekberg!
Dr. Ekberg, you're doing a great job! This is my first video of you that I watched, and from the tons of videos and articles on keto I have come across I can tell that you know what you are talking about. Great that another doctor is spreading the knowledge...
Thank you Ronino Sync. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
All my numbers were fine, apart from my PSA - went Keto over a year ago and the anti-inflammatory nature has calmed down my prostate and my PSA is down for the second time following my latest PSA test. Loving the videos
Again, a well presented video. Love your explanations and simplifications of what our ancestral diets were and how our body functioned during this time compared to the introduction of grains and how carbohydrates is affecting us in an unnatural way - inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes...the list goes on....
I appreciated the historical argument that you made against carbs needing to supply the majority of calories we consume. You speak understandably, making good points . Also, you exemplify one who practices what he preaches (and that is important if you are to make a difference). I am interested in understanding exactly WHAT inflammation is, so if you chose to use it as a topic for one of your lecturettes, I would trustingly and appreciatively watch it. Thank you, Dr.Ekberg!
Chanced upon your channel a month or so ago, and your explanations make perfect sense to me. Started keto (veg and eggs) from today. Pre breakfast blood sugar was 154 and post breakfast 1 hour it was 142. Until now my post breakfast blood sugar has been 200 plus. Just said goodbye to carbs !! Thank you for your awesome videos and explanations.
im a believer now after getting rid of my statin drug, doing exercise, taking supplement, and most importantly changing my diet (no more sugary food binge) although not strictly keto but low carb along with IF .. now slowly shedding weight and feeling much much better at middle age
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for saying we don't have to get into ketosis. I do everything you recommend. Intermittent fasting 18/6 I do 10,000 steps a day and cut my carbs a lot, but I just don't want to go into ketosis. I also eat organic, healthy, high-quality fat and 100% grass-fed beef and butter. I can't wait to see if that gets me out of pre diabetes.
Dear Dr Ekberg. After watching many of your videos I decided to give the Keto diet a try. 10 weeks in and I have lost 10 kilo's and feel fantastic. I have more energy, can eat until I feel full and still lose weight. My enlarged prostate has also improved greatly. A big thankyou to you for showing me the way. Much appreciated. Regards Barry.
My favorite aspect of the keto diet is eliminating all processed food. The standard american diet is proof that sometimes science does us more hard than good. Take it back to the basics, eat clean.
What a great, clear, objective explanation, doctor! Thank you for the eye opening facts about health you provide with your videos! I'm insulin resistant and pre-diabetic and, just wish I had this kind of information decades ago. Thank you!!! ❤
Eight years now. Had a few side effects. Lost weight. Gained muscle. The degenerative bone disease that caused pain with every step for years disappeared after about 6 months. Feel happy for no apparent reason. My tryglicerides drop to really low levels. Other blood work really great. Feel left out when I cannot talk about my meds with other people my age. Just dont have any. Have way more energy. Gained back some of the height I had lost according to doctors office. Despite all the side effects I will soldier on. LOL
I began the Keto diet to cure my very severe cystic acne because i read on a forum that a girl cured her acne via a low carb high fat diet. I was a skeptic but I was desperate. Antibiotics and Acutane didnt do squat and within 3 months, I stopped breaking out. It seemed like a miracle. Now I am clear. I've been on Keto for 3 years now and have no intention of ever eating high carbs again- the very thing which gave me acne to begin with And as a side effect my monthly cramps lessened tremendously. I used to have really bad, crippling cramps where I had to pop an ibuprofen. Now, my cramps are extremely mild.
Dr. Ekberg is improving our HEALTH while the massive processed food industry is destroying it. Keep up the FIGHT Dr. Ekberg. 👍 You truly are changing people's lives for a healthy lifestyle. 💖
Thank you Daron Olenus. 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. 😄
Thanks for clearing up all the fog on how and why we should eat some foods and not others. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to help us to stay healthy. I like all your videos it's been a big help.
I’ve been on ketogenic diet for almost 3 months and have lost a little over 20 pounds. I like that it’s low carb and sugar and that it’s healthier. However, my only complain about it is that there’s a very limited allowed fruits and veggies to eat. I love fruits I grew up with that has high in sugar like mangoes and pineapple. Once I reach my goal weight, I would like to go on a healthier diet with no food restriction. I would stay on low carb and sugar as possible and have portion control. I hope this would work for me. Thank you for all your informative videos. I learn a lot from you🙂
Great video! Been on Keto for 3 months now feel great! Didn't do it for weight loss did loose 7 lbs, but my body has leaned out like crazy! This is a way of life for me now!
30 pounds in 2 months, using alternate day fasting protocol, and elimination of sugar, and the majority of carbs. Some of that is of course water weight, but it works. I feel better at 47 than I did in my 20's.
I started doing a keto "diet" and have finally started to lose stubborn fat. I enjoy lots of healthy foods and can even work in some treats. My diabetic husband has started restricting his carbs and sugar and has gone from regular sugars of 300-350 with each meal down to 170-250 with each meal in about a month.
Totally agree with you but in my case, I'm single, 65 and with all this natural testosterone, it's like being dressed for a party, but sill waiting for an invitation. Story of my life.
I still can't believe it. I calculated my macros at the body weight and body fat I felt ideal and it happened. I went away for 10 weeks for summer vacation, came back, and my colleges didn't recognize me.
@@mntngirl4512 I would never consider going Veganism, but I also don't agree with the derision. If you have an argument of why vegan, vegetarians won't work then present it. From the environmental point of view, farm animals managed correctly will improve the soil. What is at present destroying our land is also the savior to repairing the damage we have done. Joel Salatin and Savory are two that come to mind in the work they have done to restore land. I do understand why some folk cannot contemplate killing animals, it is hard to take a life, but farmed well they live a good life and only have one bad day at the end.
26 months (mainly) keto now. Im not dead yet :D actually planning upping my fat as my skin is slightly dry this month. I dont use lotions I just tweak my diet
If the skin is dry that is the one time polyunsaturated fats are a good idea such as fish oil with some good essential fatty acids. For fuel stick with the politically incorrect saturated fat.
What a fabulous video. Thank you for so clearly dispelling so many erroneous way of thinking. Every person needs to watch this video, hear these words - keto or not - because truth is truth. And this video is full of just that. Thank you again, Dr. Ekberg! Namaste.
Dr. Ekberg you're the best! This is the greatest explanation ever! I'm a 63 year old woman, and in 7 days I'll be 64. I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighed 115 pounds before my diet. I've been type 2 diabetic for the past 18 years, 16 of which I was on Glucophage pills. Only 6 months ago I was taking 2000 mg Glucophage daily. I put myself on a low-fat low-carb diet and lost 17 pounds; I was already very slender, and had no weight to lose; now am very skinny with 98 pounds. I'm consuming many types of nuts, seeds, and lots of steamed vegetables. Every day I drink smoothies that were made with few fruits, lots of greens and vegetables. I eat chicken, eggs, lamb, and most seafood, and I drink lots of water. I'm very happy because I was able to stopped the Glucophage pills that I had been taking for the past 16 years, but I need to put on a little weight. Dr. Ekberg, please sir, can you give me some advice on how to safely put back on my 17 pounds, or at least 10. Thank you sir and God bless.
Awesome video. For the last month I have been carnivore 4 days a weeks and strict keto the other 3. I can't explain it properly, but my body feels like a whole different body. Carbs are the enemy!
Just turned 70. GP said my cholesterol and blood sugar levels were elevated. Put me on statins. I then began following Dr Ekberg Keto recommendations for the last two month and I have lost 7 kg ( 87kg to 89kg ) with very little effort. Have increased my high fat foods, ( olive oil on everything, full fat organic milk instead of low fat milk etc.), reduced my wheat based foods, reduced fruits and increased vegetable and cut out all sugary foods like chocolate and sweet biscuits. ( Did not drink soft drink or eat ice cream before ). Never feel hungry. After a large keto breakfast this morning I missed lunch and just had a cup of peppermint tea instead. Not only do I have more energy, I also feel much brighter mentally. So does eating more saturated fats rather than eating less fat help you loose weight and make you healthier? Sure does! PS. Stopped taking the statins last week.
Great perspective on Keto, I eat some carbs to stay out of this diet, but avoid processed ones. Since I reduced carbs, lost and kept off the weight. I think fasting is a more important part of my life that regulates me over carb reduction. Thanks again for the great content and perspective.
Yeah, that’s my experience too. Keto was a bit too tough for me. I do low carbs and fasting and the results for me have been miraculous. Down 42 lbs and still going down.
Years ago, I followed the Atkins diet and lost 42 pounds. But it never felt sustainable and it felt very unhealthy. I was eating too much poor quality protein and virtually no vegetables! Needless to say, the weight crept back on and it became harder to lose weight. Since following Keto for 3 months - with intermittent fasting, I've lost 42 pounds and it's still dropping. I realise that it is very difficult to completely accept something that apparently 'goes against the grain' because the system is fighting against us. But while the health system waits for something to break - before attempting to fix it - when often, it can be too late to fix it, it's down to us as individuals and as a RUclips community - to deal with these matters ourselves.
Sten is a gift to the world of health. #1 clinician educator. At 55 and an RN and Type 2 Diabetic, I’ve never heard anyone explain nutrition in a way that empowers people to change their health, their fitness, their lives. Sten provides clear factual useful info… I lost 50lbs in 6mos, I look and feel amazing now!!! Thank you for saving my life!!! I watch Sten daily to optimize my health!!!! I’m discontinuing some medications I no longer require.
*It's vital for individuals to approach the keto diet with awareness and make adjustments according to their unique needs. Thank you for shedding light on this topic!*
Very informative video Dr. Ekberg, six months into Keto, IF and OMAD, not even had a cheat day loll, enjoying every minute of my new healthy lifestyle.
The first thing that dissapeared from grocery stores when Covid hit was frozen foods. Fridges were empty. There was plenty of raw foods still available. That told me a lot about what people eat...
HI Dr.Sten very much appreciate your videos, I changed to a healthy lifestyle about 4 months ago and is going great, well better than great, wonderful. Thank you for all the information you share with us viewers.
Thank you Dr. for sharing the info in such a calm and educational way. I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. 1.5 years now in LCHF and IF and feeling my best at 48 yrs old :)
Dear doctor thank you for your expertise and calming delivery of facts. I am 68 years old and I've had hypothyroidism for 50 years over the last 10 years I develop multiple food allergies, leaky gut and sibo. I have been working with a nutritional therapist and that had helped me quite a bit but it wasn't until I started the keto diet four months ago that I'm down 20 lbs and my leaky gut and sibo have literally healed to the point where I can now eat eggs, milk and other foods that I was allergic to because of leaky gut. I'm probably not going to start in on the dairy or the grains because I want to stay healthy but I am excited about being able to eat an egg ! hallelujah thank you Doctor God bless you
You allude to this in the end and I think it is worth emphasizing. We can still eat carbs and lose weight. I have lost weight by doing 3 things: 1) dramatically cutting sugar and alcohol, 2) skipping breakfast every day and 3) go out for 40 minutes (at least) walk every day. When I eat, I still eat potato, pasta and cake occasionally. I also fixed my sleep apneas. It is not Earth shattering life changes, but, combined, they are getting me back on track to slow (~ 2kg lost per month) but steady weight loss. BP is down as well. Thanks for your work to educate people on metabolic science. This should be taught in school!
Dropped 8 pounds in 4weeks. Ditched half of blood pressure meds. Belt size is getting smaller. Don’t know about a ketogenic Doctor in my area . Great video!
I'm at a point in keto where I am fat adapted. I do a cyclical keto now. I eat small amount of carbs before I go to the gym and sometimes after. I bake my own bread and make my own pasta. I ferment the dough for at least 24 hours usually around 30. That way the enzymes can convert the starch to sugar which feed the yeasty boys. So I have my bread and eat it too.
I'm really struggling with making a good bread.. tried a recipe with almond flour flax seed and a tble of honey and ACV... better but not the real deal... can you give me ur recipe or where I can finds good bread recipes....
On Keto I stopped bloating. No diarea or constipation.I have reached an ideal body weight. My eyesight is better,sharper and vibrant colours like more pixels. I don't need to sleep as much. My mind is sharper. My moods are enhanced. Eating one balance keto meal a day, I eat less, quality and overall it is cheaper than mainstream diet. I have also an increased stamina and maintain a mental will extensively. Very obvious on long road trips. And thank you to have shown me the way to Keto.
I have decided to go long term on keto since I started, because I go with how I feels. I feel so great since I started and never felt this way before. If my body likes it, I will go with it! Feel so lucky!
Every word and point has perfect purpose. This is an outstanding video! I am 4 days into my Keto diet and have already felt and seen amazing results. I am very excited for the future and feel great right now! Thanks to you and other pioneers
I love your clear, logical approach, Dr. Ekberg. I do better on keto, but to your point, I still have two hangups: 1) research from older days that showed that saturated fat in the diet could be measured in the blood and presumably deposited in the veins within hours of consumption. 2) more recent studies by neuro scientists stating that saturated fat impairs the brain's capacity to create new neurons. I would be so appreciative if you addressed these two. Thanks!
I love being on keto, feel super clean and light. I always get bloated from eating carbs especially bread and other wheat products, eating just veggies and some meat feels really great. But I run into really extreme hormone problems every time, I get spotting between periods and that kind of forces me to get back on carbs. I really hope someone can give an explanation for this and give me a solution. I don't enjoy eating bread, pasta or rice at all, I just force myself to eat them now to hope for a regular menstrual cycle... Man it really sucks to be a female
Thank You April Simpson. You could try changing gradually. While there are many general things that a person can do to improve their health, such as reducing sugar, grain and processed foods. Some conditions are a little more complicated and require very specific analysis of the body. In my office we use Nutrition Response Testing to find and handle the root cause of the problem.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for taking the time to add to the discussion. Keto for me: lost 104 pounds with food and lifestyle change. Sustainable for the last 6 months. reversed type 2 diabetes, no more blood pressure pills and no longer worried about Cholesterol!! Never felt better. Keto on but learn about healthy carb refeeding.
Dr Berg is one of just a couple of people I bother to watch, he is so spot on and easy to listen to and understand. SO many so called experts on YT proclaim to have the answers on diet but listen for 5 mins and you can see they are basing on emotion. Dr Berg has the experience, background and education to provide such sensible and concise info that the everyday person can understand. He comes from a professional athlete background and just gets to the point without the emotion or ego. Keep up the good work Dr Berg !
I started keto 20 years ago this month. My only "bad" number is my BP, which seems to be stress and a busy mind ("neurogenic"), not due to insulin, etc. All my other numbers are in the ideal range. And I feel great and don't get infections. I started intermittent fasting 18 months ago, and that's given much improvement. ………….. I enjoy all of you doctors for the individual style each of you brings to these messages. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for this video. You touched on some nuanced points.
Just bumped into Pre-Diabetes about 3 mos. ago. Immediately cut the sugars and then learned about cutting breads/pasta/rice and learning much more from Dr. Ekberg's excellent presentations. So unfortunate that Drs. do not provide comprehensive handouts on lifestyle changes and video resources for Metabolic conditions. Instead, we have to stumble around to find gems such as Dr. Ekberg's videos.
Thanks Dr.. I have gone underweight on KETO And finally found the info I need in your channel Now I begin next chapter... rebuilding my body. .my muscles...
I am on keto diet 3 months, I am diabetic 46yrs. My insulin is down to 11 units daily compared to 32 for yrs. I had ulcerative colitis, diabetic neuropathy in both legs, tendonitis in both arms, gastric pain that I couldn't lie down, I could barely walk, I thought my body was falling apart, all gone, I can walk 4 miles every day and exercise . I am down to 57 kilos, I wish I knew about dangerous carbs years ago
can you do a video about ketones? i have one person in particular that loves to tell me they are so bad for the body. and that keto is not healthy LONG term. He claims to have read studies which he then cannot provide. would just like to understand the process of how they work better and what effects they do have on our health.
I can’t tell you how much I am thankful your time and your effort to educate people. I wish I knew at least 10 years ago. Its hard to convince my husband and kids to not eat many chemicals/ toxic foods. Would you please let me know all the ingredients/ different names of MSG and bad chemicals in ingredients I should know about. I know a few because of your videos but want to know all of them so I can stay away. Thank you for your heart for people to stay healthy. Your videos are all great!!
I'm also a doctor, and I would like to hear from you, not what you think about it, but what science has to say. All you're talking now, it's a theory that have no back ground on the literature. You're talking is really sentimental, but no date based.
Hi, you can actually get the research and papers via Thomas De Lauers channel. He is much more "scientific" in his videos and also links the appropriate papers and studies below. And I agree, while Dr. Eckberg is right in his claims, this was really more of an anecdotal video, but watch a few other videos about this topic, a lot of interesting stuff to discover. Especially if you understand the Insulin cycle with Insulin and Glucagon and what the diabetes "treatments" actually do. As is said, if you want more scientific information, Thomas de Lauer and Dr. Berry are better, Dr Berry is actually a medical doctor as well.
I have been on the keto diet for 3 months and I have never felt so good I eat 4 eggs every morning I eat veggies cheese if I eat any carbs at all income from low glycemic sources berries buckwheat but in very small amounts and I feel amazing I can't remember ever having so much energy
I threw more than half of the foods that were in my pantry like rice, flour, breads, chips, snacks, chips, candies, canned carbs, so I threw all fake foods!!!! My daughters and my husband and me did keto for only four months and we are getting healthier by the day!!!!!!! Thank you for another great video!!!!
I can this ha 2 strokes due to hb and been a diabetic I can tell since starred the keto lifestyle I'm no longer diabetic my A1C is at 4.8 snd feel amazing when I posted on fb 1 friend told me that her Dr and dietician told her that keto was dangerous because makes your body insulin resistance 😂
I like Dr Sten Ekberg explanation on how foods are used by the body simply. Biochemistry is really very complicated but Dr. Ekberg made it simple. So eat natural food.
I find KETO/OMAD simple and easy. Live, Eat, And Move like your Ancestors. Grass fed meat, butter, and cruciferous vegetables, sweet potato every now and again. I restricted to 50 grams of carbs a day. I started Keto in January, I am down 40 lbs as of today. I could have lost more, but I am going slow and steady with great results. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Any long term vegetarian Keto folks? I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks and I’m not going back. Main reason is it’s health benefits that I haven’t read up on so far. Doing it on a 20/4 schedule and this is also beneficial.
Thanks to your information and my determination to drop to a safe level. Tick. I was IR A1C 15 now 5.4 in three months. Thanks your a legend. Roy. 56yo. 🇦🇺
You’re not alone. There will always be temptation around. The way I look at it is I’d rather stay healthy long term than satisfying a short term craving. Having said that, try cheating once every two weeks, fast for 24 hrs after that and then keep going with keto. Might be easier to stay on track that way
I've been considering the keto diet for some time, but wanted to do my research prior. This was a good video. I can agree with sugar and processed grains being bad carbs, but what about things like apples, bananas, beans, quinoa, oats, carrots, potatoes in their whole raw forms? Do these types of carbs not add proper nutrition for a diet? Genuinely want to know.
I don't believe "fat phobia" should be the main reason for doubting keto as a "healthy" diet doing long term straight but rather it is the missing out on other important nutrients. By avoiding every food because of carb content such as fruits and vegetables we are also avoiding some essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc.

You are an excellent teacher, you explain everything in detail very well.
Three years later after this video and I'm one more who has ended diabetes, high blood pressure. Down over 60 pounds from 10 months ago, down 140 pounds from 12 years ago. Thank you Doctor, you are needed
thats incredible. congratulations
That is fabulous! Still feeling great??
Diabetes is not a disease. It's nothing more than a state of metabolism. You didn't end anything. You just improved your metabolism.
@@thomasjensen6243 type2 duabetes - kind of yes, but what about type1 diabetes?
@okritsky Type 1 is a disorder. An organ in your body is not functioning and never will.
Type 2 has a perfectly functioning pancreas which is creating insulin just fine.
Type 1 and Type 2 are nothing the same.
Congratulations I never felt better. 6 months on keto. No moods no cravings I am in control now!
Wow that is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
You posted this 2 years ago. Are you still on keto? If so how are you doing?
Remember there are no big profits for the big Companies when your well.
Exactly!
I kicked big pharma to the curb one year ago. I lost 150 pounds (had to put a few pounds back on as I got a little too thin). I'm no longer diabetic.....have excellent blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I look 10 years younger. Good riddance to big pharma.....they are off my pay roll!
@@debdo1960 What method did you use to put those few pounds back on?
Except for the meat industry....
Is keto diet safe for anybody?
How to know whether it is suitable for me or not?
Just another keto/carnivore who stopped all meds and fixed all my physical and mental illnesses with diet and fasting. Never felt better!
That is great! So glad that Keto and OMAD is working well for you.
Do you follow fully animal or also include plants?
I was keto 5 months and tried carnivore 2 days ago and it was horrible terrible I woke UP at 3 am because my fast heart beat, then my chest hurt a lot wow it was a nightmare now Im getting back to keto with spinachs avocado and chards, its better for me those low glycemic index food than zero carb from carnivore :)
It is not necessary to be carnivore in keto, I'm a vegetarian, consume milk products like cheese and don't eat egg, I've choose foods from the list of Dr Ekberg, I'm a pre-diabetic plus have problem in digesting system , and I'm doing well now , my sugar level is in range, no problem with digestion anymore, I'm very happy, I don't have to take pills, you just have to understand your body and adjust with the diet
@@valvijosevalverde3433 carnivore diet doesn't work for all people. It depends on your DNA(where your ancestors lived for the previous thousands or tens of thousands of years
It is difficult to judge better explanations between Dr. Eric Berg and you
Both deserves millions subscribers
Thank you
Thank you Devendra Parmar. Lucky for you, you don't have to choose - watch us both.
Yeah honestly they both deserve so many more views!
@@drekberg good answer. I've yet to find a doctor that doesn't piss me off. But to compare you with Dr. Berg is saying a lot. I will give you a try. And I will definately give you my opinion.
What answers are you talking about the guy say " study show that" without never quoting any name or any result and you say his explanations are awesome ?
Nancy Fahey Dr. EKberg is a lot more thorough and precise in his videos, in my opinion.
The reason that keto and IF works, it's because it's the normal thing for the human body. Your channel is a treasure library I recently found and made my life better. Thank you !
Been keto for 3 years. Reversed my diabetes, lost 60 pounds, and improvred my lipids. I also feel better and have more ambition and energy than I ever have in my life.
YES! Congratulations Tinknal!
3 years?!
I‘m on my second day and already on turkey.
I am from Mediterranean and I grew up eating lots of vegetables, fruits, fish and some corn bread. Since I came to US, I lost 15 pounds because I couldn’t eat most of the foods, they are just too sweet and greasy.
I know what you mean. I felt the same way when I came from Sweden. Lots of sugar and fake, chemical flavors. Unfortunately I ate a lot of junk before
I learned better.
@@drekberg It's amazing how, as I've moved completely away from processed foods, they have taken on such a chemical flavor when I'd had a bite of them. Yuck. Real food tastes so much better
i love your cuisine. especially olives.
I have reached goal of weights but what to do when I’m bending down and get up I feel dizzy or light headed that I hang on to the wall till dissipated .
I feel like for the first time in my life keto has given me the "permission" to eat the way I've always wanted.
Life is not supposed to be hard. It was simple until man started messing with the food.
Then making us feel guilty for questioning the "experts" 🙄
been Keto for a few months and my Rosacea has completely gone, going Keto has made the inflammation in my body disappear. the weight loss is just a bonus for me
I’ve been on strict clean Keto + OMAD for five days and already feel the difference. No more cravings! I heard Keto long time ago but thought it would cause a lot of problems because of high fat. After watching Dr. Ekberg’s videos, I changed my mind as I felt I had truly understood the concept this time. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for explaining everything so well. I love how you use the simplest language to enable us understand key concepts. “When it comes to fat, it’s about quality.” This one is my favourite!
Avoid going fasting for more than two weeks
When watching Dr Ekbergs 'tutorials ' I feel as though he is talking exclusively to me. I am absorbing every word and learning. Absolutely spot on with his delivery of knowledge. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you TheSuperHarrygeorge. 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 You are very welcome . You are a font of knowledge and just wish this was more widely understood by conventional 'dietitians ' and nutritionists. They are still pushing the old flawed food pyramid.!
I feel the same way.....been searching for this fountain of wisdom my whole life..life changing!!
I totally agree!👍😁
@@TheSuperHarrygeorge it's the MyPlate now but same message unfortunately
For less than 2 months on keto + 18/6 fasting + 45 minutes a day intensive evening walking, l have already lost 40 pounds from my previous weight of 230 pounds...!!!
I'm a man, 61 years old, my height is 6'00"...😊💪
Thank you THORN for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up!
Almost 65 and have done Keto and intermittent fasting for 10 months. I feel great!, lost weight, walking, running and skiing. I was pre diabetic early last year. I have been sugarless for 9 years now. Thank you for helping us understand our bodies and getting them to feel much younger than they are. My doctor said to keep doing what I was doing because my exam was excellent.
you were pre diabetic without consuming sugar?
@todoranandrei8716 Carbs are basically sugar, so a person can still develop diabetes without consuming the obvious sugars and sweeteners.
@@sheercarnivores well yeah but unless it s zacharines they re not so addictive so ig it s harder
Human Beings have been excelling by eating lots of good animal fat for 1000's of years!
Exactly! I believe that we need to look at the big picture. Understanding human physiology and the historic perspective is our best clue to what human are suppose to eat.
Lol good stuff!
That’s a good one Dr Berry 👏👏👏
Hello dr Ken we meet again, very informative video 📹
Dr. Berry, have you ever heard of Dr. Richard K. Bernstein? He's been on a keto diet for over 50 years. He has been a type 1 diabetic since the 70's and has never had any complications that come with diabetes for this reason. He's presently about 85 years old and still making videos on YT teaching people how to successfully live with diabetes through a low carb lifestyle.
Sten Ekbeg is one of the best! Full of key facts without any padding -- excellent presenter with great visuals and puts across complex information in a clearly understood way for his audience. Great synthesis of most recent and comprehensive research findings.
Thank you sarah Thomas. 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.
Thanks for the encouragement. When I was in cardio rehab five years ago they pushed 40 grams of fat at most per day. Then the cardiologist increased my medication to keep my heart rate down and my blood pressure under 100/70. I gained about 30 pounds and am now diabetic. I truly believe following the cardiologist's directions put me in the boat I am today. I cut drastically carbs in January and have seen a dramatic improvement in my sugar levels almost immediately. I started Keto yesterday to help me with the weight loss.
Ever since I found your channel and stopped being afraid of fat, I feel so incredibly satisfied after meals. I have no craving for sugary junk, which is crazy because I've always had a bad sweet tooth. Not to mention, the high quality fats help me fast longer and make me feel more alert, energetic and motivated. I am shocked that I lived for so long doing something different..
Im shocked too...can not believe that I am a faster. Was a bad sugar carb junkie.
Don't miss any part of any of it. My health and life improvements are uncomprehensible to the carb addicted sick people out there. Why is keto not taught to drs and nutritionalist. We would halve world sickness within weeks.
Keto lifestyle is not so much about losing weight. It is so much more about healing inflammation and metabolic syndrome
This guy is great. As a FP and Sports Medicine Physician I find his information is about the best you’re going to run into these days. I hope other physicians are listening and watching and then teaching whatever they find valuable to their patients.
Nov 17th, 2023, I had both feet in the grave and the key in the ignition.
Instead of dying Devine intervention found my 1st Dr. Ekberg video that day.
Day 1, Braggs Apple cider vinegar. No reflux or leg cramps that night. I was sold.
2 1/2 months later, and many Dr. Ekberg videos, not only am I alive, I'm thriving.
And it seems anything I have a guestion, boom, another Dr. Ekberg video pops up.
I can't sing your praises enough. Thank you so much for debunking all the misinformation. You are a life saver, at least mine. ❤
Wide spread deceit going on around the world. I'm glad I'm alive to have learned about KETO!
1:30 Not to mention the common misconception of ketosis being understood as the same as ketoacidosis.
I have been watching so many of Dr. Elberg’s videos. I have adapted the information he shares. Since April of 2021 I have lost 24 lbs slowly and steadily. My mood and energy level is so much more balanced and I sleep better and handle stress better after applying the diet and exercise methods I began learning about in his videos.
It is now December 2021. My daily walking routine along with my low carb, whole food diet has been joyful and healing! I was vegan before and now that I eat mostly plant based with small amounts of organic and grass fed animal based foods I feel like a brand new human being!
Looking forward to getting down to my goal weight of 200 lbs. by the end of 2022.
Thank You Dr. Ekberg!
Dr. Ekberg, you're doing a great job! This is my first video of you that I watched, and from the tons of videos and articles on keto I have come across I can tell that you know what you are talking about. Great that another doctor is spreading the knowledge...
Thank you Ronino Sync. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
All my numbers were fine, apart from my PSA - went Keto over a year ago and the anti-inflammatory nature has calmed down my prostate and my PSA is down for the second time following my latest PSA test. Loving the videos
That is great. Thank you for sharing.
Again, a well presented video.
Love your explanations and simplifications of what our ancestral diets were and how our body functioned during this time compared to the introduction of grains and how carbohydrates is affecting us in an unnatural way - inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes...the list goes on....
I appreciated the historical argument that you made against carbs needing to supply the majority of calories we consume. You speak understandably, making good points . Also, you exemplify one who practices what he preaches (and that is important if you are to make a difference). I am interested in understanding exactly WHAT inflammation is, so if you chose to use it as a topic for one of your lecturettes, I would trustingly and appreciatively watch it. Thank you, Dr.Ekberg!
Chanced upon your channel a month or so ago, and your explanations make perfect sense to me. Started keto (veg and eggs) from today. Pre breakfast blood sugar was 154 and post breakfast 1 hour it was 142. Until now my post breakfast blood sugar has been 200 plus. Just said goodbye to carbs !! Thank you for your awesome videos and explanations.
im a believer now after getting rid of my statin drug, doing exercise, taking supplement, and most importantly changing my diet (no more sugary food binge) although not strictly keto but low carb along with IF .. now slowly shedding weight and feeling much much better at middle age
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for saying we don't have to get into ketosis. I do everything you recommend. Intermittent fasting 18/6 I do 10,000 steps a day and cut my carbs a lot, but I just don't want to go into ketosis. I also eat organic, healthy, high-quality fat and 100% grass-fed beef and butter. I can't wait to see if that gets me out of pre diabetes.
Is non grass feed beef harmful for. Keto doer?. I am using just that.
Dear Dr Ekberg. After watching many of your videos I decided to give the Keto diet a try. 10 weeks in and I have lost 10 kilo's and feel fantastic. I have more energy, can eat until I feel full and still lose weight. My enlarged prostate has also improved greatly. A big thankyou to you for showing me the way. Much appreciated. Regards Barry.
One of the very best presentations out there Dr.Sten! Thank you for putting the long-term keto lifestyle into perspective!
My favorite aspect of the keto diet is eliminating all processed food. The standard american diet is proof that sometimes science does us more hard than good. Take it back to the basics, eat clean.
What a great, clear, objective explanation, doctor! Thank you for the eye opening facts about health you provide with your videos! I'm insulin resistant and pre-diabetic and, just wish I had this kind of information decades ago. Thank you!!! ❤
me too! but my hubby reminds me...lets just be grateful for now...and optimum health is ours for the reward 🙂
Most of the sceptics come from the food industry, I'm on my 3rd year of Keto and I am still here, no side effects, the best way to live.
Eight years now. Had a few side effects. Lost weight. Gained muscle. The degenerative bone disease that caused pain with every step for years disappeared after about 6 months. Feel happy for no apparent reason. My tryglicerides drop to really low levels. Other blood work really great. Feel left out when I cannot talk about my meds with other people my age. Just dont have any. Have way more energy. Gained back some of the height I had lost according to doctors office.
Despite all the side effects I will soldier on. LOL
@AJ - no you just think you are still here. Obviously the government guidelines can't be wrong. :)
@@dawne5139 Yea. I know. Those darn side effects, but you do what you gotta do. LOL
I began the Keto diet to cure my very severe cystic acne because i read on a forum that a girl cured
her acne via a low carb high fat diet. I was a skeptic but I was desperate. Antibiotics and Acutane didnt do squat and within 3 months, I stopped breaking out. It seemed like a miracle. Now I am clear. I've been on Keto for 3 years now and have no intention of ever eating high carbs again- the very thing which gave me acne to begin with
And as a side effect my monthly cramps lessened tremendously.
I used to have really bad, crippling cramps where I had to pop an ibuprofen. Now, my cramps are extremely mild.
I start my Keto journey tomorrow. I am nervous and very excited. I want this to turn my life around. I have severe osteoarthritis and need relief!
Dr. Ekberg is improving our HEALTH while the massive processed food industry is destroying it. Keep up the FIGHT Dr. Ekberg. 👍 You truly are changing people's lives for a healthy lifestyle. 💖
Thank you Daron Olenus. 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. 😄
This Chanel is the best. It is a pitty that it does not have numbers of subscribers it deserves.
Thanks for clearing up all the fog on how and why we should eat some foods and not others. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to help us to stay healthy. I like all your videos it's been a big help.
I’ve been on ketogenic diet for almost 3 months and have lost a little over 20 pounds. I like that it’s low carb and sugar and that it’s healthier. However, my only complain about it is that there’s a very limited allowed fruits and veggies to eat. I love fruits I grew up with that has high in sugar like mangoes and pineapple. Once I reach my goal weight, I would like to go on a healthier diet with no food restriction. I would stay on low carb and sugar as possible and have portion control. I hope this would work for me. Thank you for all your informative videos. I learn a lot from you🙂
Been doing the OMAD diet for some weeks and having no problems with it. Doing some exercise and the belly starting to reduce. Feeling well
Thank you Graham Debling. That is great. 😄
Great video! Been on Keto for 3 months now feel great! Didn't do it for weight loss did loose 7 lbs, but my body has leaned out like crazy! This is a way of life for me now!
My body REALLY LEANED OUT, and I was only on low carb, and I didn't even intend it :D
Lost over 100 hundred Pounds in less Than 5 months Eating Every other Day....
Five tons in five months may be too much.
30 pounds in 2 months, using alternate day fasting protocol, and elimination of sugar, and the majority of carbs. Some of that is of course water weight, but it works. I feel better at 47 than I did in my 20's.
That is amazing! 👍 Good luck for the future.
As a medical consultant, I strongly recommend these videos from dr Ekberg and I recommend not to listen to the medical mainstream such as May clinic
Mayo Clinic is peerless for some things.
I started doing a keto "diet" and have finally started to lose stubborn fat. I enjoy lots of healthy foods and can even work in some treats. My diabetic husband has started restricting his carbs and sugar and has gone from regular sugars of 300-350 with each meal down to 170-250 with each meal in about a month.
This is the fourt years I am on Keto, I will never go back, best years started after keto, I mean all aspects of life.
Totally agree with you but in my case, I'm single, 65 and with all this natural testosterone, it's like being dressed for a party, but sill waiting for an invitation. Story of my life.
I lost 83 lbs in four months of ketovore. I have never felt physically and emotionally better.
That can't be according to the skeptics. Surely you are just imagining your weight loss and you just think you are feeling better :)
I still can't believe it. I calculated my macros at the body weight and body fat I felt ideal and it happened. I went away for 10 weeks for summer vacation, came back, and my colleges didn't recognize me.
Love it! Congratulations!
Bull Veganism was brought about by looney environmentalists. No thanks!
@@mntngirl4512 I would never consider going Veganism, but I also don't agree with the derision. If you have an argument of why vegan, vegetarians won't work then present it. From the environmental point of view, farm animals managed correctly will improve the soil. What is at present destroying our land is also the savior to repairing the damage we have done. Joel Salatin and Savory are two that come to mind in the work they have done to restore land.
I do understand why some folk cannot contemplate killing animals, it is hard to take a life, but farmed well they live a good life and only have one bad day at the end.
26 months (mainly) keto now. Im not dead yet :D actually planning upping my fat as my skin is slightly dry this month. I dont use lotions I just tweak my diet
That is awesome. I am so glad to hear how well you are doing on Keto.
@@drekberg 4 years keto here. Off all medication and healthier than ever in my life. It makes me laugh when these "experts" say it isn't sustainable.
@@Iridescence93 That is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing your experience with keto.
If the skin is dry that is the one time polyunsaturated fats are a good idea such as fish oil with some good essential fatty acids. For fuel stick with the politically incorrect saturated fat.
Thanks Dr Sten, good to know. I always try and have a mix of fats - mainly because they are so tasty. Good to know Im thinking right
What a fabulous video. Thank you for so clearly dispelling so many erroneous way of thinking. Every person needs to watch this video, hear these words - keto or not - because truth is truth. And this video is full of just that. Thank you again, Dr. Ekberg! Namaste.
You are welcome @kadencek6608. Thank you for watching. 😄
The KETO diet has done miracles for me... I love it. :)
Thank you Анна Коваль. That is great that you have had great success on Keto.
Dr. Ekberg you're the best! This is the greatest explanation ever!
I'm a 63 year old woman, and in 7 days I'll be 64. I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighed 115 pounds before my diet. I've been type 2 diabetic for the past 18 years, 16 of which I was on Glucophage pills. Only 6 months ago I was taking 2000 mg Glucophage daily.
I put myself on a low-fat low-carb diet and lost 17 pounds; I was already very slender, and had no weight to lose; now am very skinny with 98 pounds.
I'm consuming many types of nuts, seeds, and lots of steamed vegetables. Every day I drink smoothies that were made with few fruits, lots of greens and vegetables. I eat chicken, eggs, lamb, and most seafood, and I drink lots of water.
I'm very happy because I was able to stopped the Glucophage pills that I had been taking for the past 16 years, but I need to put on a little weight.
Dr. Ekberg, please sir, can you give me some advice on how to safely put back on my 17 pounds, or at least 10. Thank you sir and God bless.
Awesome video. For the last month I have been carnivore 4 days a weeks and strict keto the other 3. I can't explain it properly, but my body feels like a whole different body. Carbs are the enemy!
Just turned 70. GP said my cholesterol and blood sugar levels were elevated. Put me on statins.
I then began following Dr Ekberg Keto recommendations for the last two month and I have lost 7 kg ( 87kg to 89kg ) with very little effort. Have increased my high fat foods, ( olive oil on everything, full fat organic milk instead of low fat milk etc.), reduced my wheat based foods, reduced fruits and increased vegetable and cut out all sugary foods like chocolate and sweet biscuits. ( Did not drink soft drink or eat ice cream before ).
Never feel hungry. After a large keto breakfast this morning I missed lunch and just had a cup of peppermint tea instead.
Not only do I have more energy, I also feel much brighter mentally.
So does eating more saturated fats rather than eating less fat help you loose weight and make you healthier? Sure does!
PS. Stopped taking the statins last week.
Great perspective on Keto, I eat some carbs to stay out of this diet, but avoid processed ones. Since I reduced carbs, lost and kept off the weight. I think fasting is a more important part of my life that regulates me over carb reduction. Thanks again for the great content and perspective.
You're welcome E. K.. My pleasure. Thanks for watching 😄
Yeah, that’s my experience too. Keto was a bit too tough for me. I do low carbs and fasting and the results for me have been miraculous. Down 42 lbs and still going down.
Years ago, I followed the Atkins diet and lost 42 pounds. But it never felt sustainable and it felt very unhealthy. I was eating too much poor quality protein and virtually no vegetables!
Needless to say, the weight crept back on and it became harder to lose weight.
Since following Keto for 3 months - with intermittent fasting, I've lost 42 pounds and it's still dropping.
I realise that it is very difficult to completely accept something that apparently 'goes against the grain' because the system is fighting against us. But while the health system waits for something to break - before attempting to fix it - when often, it can be too late to fix it, it's down to us as individuals and as a RUclips community - to deal with these matters ourselves.
Well, it killed Atkins. I hope you don't share his fate.
Very good video, Dr Ekberg! Very professional.
Thank you Lloyd Hlavac.
Sten is a gift to the world of health. #1 clinician educator. At 55 and an RN and Type 2 Diabetic, I’ve never heard anyone explain nutrition in a way that empowers people to change their health, their fitness, their lives.

Best channel on keto. Well articulated information. Appreciate this channel Dr.Ekberg.
*It's vital for individuals to approach the keto diet with awareness and make adjustments according to their unique needs. Thank you for shedding light on this topic!*
Very informative video Dr. Ekberg, six months into Keto, IF and OMAD, not even had a cheat day loll, enjoying every minute of my new healthy lifestyle.
There is no deprivation when you do it right. Congratulations.
Dr. Sten Ekberg, thank you very much!
The first thing that dissapeared from grocery stores when Covid hit was frozen foods. Fridges were empty. There was plenty of raw foods still available. That told me a lot about what people eat...
HI Dr.Sten very much appreciate your videos, I changed to a healthy lifestyle about 4 months ago and is going great, well better than great, wonderful. Thank you for all the information you share with us viewers.
Thank you Dr. for sharing the info in such a calm and educational way. I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. 1.5 years now in LCHF and IF and feeling my best at 48 yrs old :)
1 year keto ripped 56 years young
Thank you golden Warrior for sharing. Congratulations!
Dear doctor thank you for your expertise and calming delivery of facts. I am 68 years old and I've had hypothyroidism for 50 years over the last 10 years I develop multiple food allergies, leaky gut and sibo. I have been working with a nutritional therapist and that had helped me quite a bit but it wasn't until I started the keto diet four months ago that I'm down 20 lbs and my leaky gut and sibo have literally healed to the point where I can now eat eggs, milk and other foods that I was allergic to because of leaky gut. I'm probably not going to start in on the dairy or the grains because I want to stay healthy but I am excited about being able to eat an egg ! hallelujah thank you Doctor God bless you
You allude to this in the end and I think it is worth emphasizing. We can still eat carbs and lose weight. I have lost weight by doing 3 things: 1) dramatically cutting sugar and alcohol, 2) skipping breakfast every day and 3) go out for 40 minutes (at least) walk every day. When I eat, I still eat potato, pasta and cake occasionally. I also fixed my sleep apneas. It is not Earth shattering life changes, but, combined, they are getting me back on track to slow (~ 2kg lost per month) but steady weight loss. BP is down as well. Thanks for your work to educate people on metabolic science. This should be taught in school!
I loved this video, specially the part where you talk about "extreme"!
Dropped 8 pounds in 4weeks. Ditched half of blood pressure meds. Belt size is getting smaller.
Don’t know about a ketogenic Doctor in my area . Great video!
I'm at a point in keto where I am fat adapted. I do a cyclical keto now. I eat small amount of carbs before I go to the gym and sometimes after. I bake my own bread and make my own pasta. I ferment the dough for at least 24 hours usually around 30. That way the enzymes can convert the starch to sugar which feed the yeasty boys. So I have my bread and eat it too.
I'm really struggling with making a good bread.. tried a recipe with almond flour flax seed and a tble of honey and ACV... better but not the real deal... can you give me ur recipe or where I can finds good bread recipes....
will have to try baking own bread.. regular bread immediately bloats my stomach and make me lethargic
@@mattaravena2473 That's a getting lethargic that means your blood sugar is spiking.
How do u make your pasta and bread?
kickn-aDead-cat i have made pasta lots of times! But never bread! Thanks for the info! 😉😉
On Keto I stopped bloating. No diarea or constipation.I have reached an ideal body weight. My eyesight is better,sharper and vibrant colours like more pixels. I don't need to sleep as much. My mind is sharper. My moods are enhanced.
Eating one balance keto meal a day, I eat less, quality and overall it is cheaper than mainstream diet.
I have also an increased stamina and maintain a mental will extensively. Very obvious on long road trips.
And thank you to have shown me the way to Keto.
I have decided to go long term on keto since I started, because I go with how I feels. I feel so great since I started and never felt this way before. If my body likes it, I will go with it! Feel so lucky!
Every word and point has perfect purpose. This is an outstanding video! I am 4 days into my Keto diet and have already felt and seen amazing results. I am very excited for the future and feel great right now! Thanks to you and other pioneers
Thank you William S. That is great. I am glad you are already having success.
I love your clear, logical approach, Dr. Ekberg. I do better on keto, but to your point, I still have two hangups: 1) research from older days that showed that saturated fat in the diet could be measured in the blood and presumably deposited in the veins within hours of consumption. 2) more recent studies by neuro scientists stating that saturated fat impairs the brain's capacity to create new neurons. I would be so appreciative if you addressed these two. Thanks!
I love being on keto, feel super clean and light. I always get bloated from eating carbs especially bread and other wheat products, eating just veggies and some meat feels really great.
But I run into really extreme hormone problems every time, I get spotting between periods and that kind of forces me to get back on carbs. I really hope someone can give an explanation for this and give me a solution. I don't enjoy eating bread, pasta or rice at all, I just force myself to eat them now to hope for a regular menstrual cycle... Man it really sucks to be a female
Thank You April Simpson. You could try changing gradually. While there are many general things that a person can do to improve their health, such as reducing sugar, grain and processed foods. Some conditions are a little more complicated and require very specific analysis of the body. In my office we use Nutrition Response Testing to find and handle the root cause of the problem.
Hormones in the meat?
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for taking the time to add to the discussion. Keto for me: lost 104 pounds with food and lifestyle change. Sustainable for the last 6 months. reversed type 2 diabetes, no more blood pressure pills and no longer worried about Cholesterol!!
Never felt better. Keto on but learn about healthy carb refeeding.
Awesome. Congratulations. You're just proving physiological principles. Thanks for sharing.
Dr. Sten Ekberg
I appreciate you replying and will forward your channel to everyone I care about
Thank you flhtcui2.❤
Dr Berg is one of just a couple of people I bother to watch, he is so spot on and easy to listen to and understand. SO many so called experts on YT proclaim to have the answers on diet but listen for 5 mins and you can see they are basing on emotion. Dr Berg has the experience, background and education to provide such sensible and concise info that the everyday person can understand. He comes from a professional athlete background and just gets to the point without the emotion or ego. Keep up the good work Dr Berg !
I started keto 20 years ago this month. My only "bad" number is my BP, which seems to be stress and a busy mind ("neurogenic"), not due to insulin, etc. All my other numbers are in the ideal range. And I feel great and don't get infections. I started intermittent fasting 18 months ago, and that's given much improvement. ………….. I enjoy all of you doctors for the individual style each of you brings to these messages. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for this video. You touched on some nuanced points.
Just bumped into Pre-Diabetes about 3 mos. ago. Immediately cut the sugars and then learned about cutting breads/pasta/rice and learning much more from Dr. Ekberg's excellent presentations. So unfortunate that Drs. do not provide comprehensive handouts on lifestyle changes and video resources for Metabolic conditions. Instead, we have to stumble around to find gems such as Dr. Ekberg's videos.
Thanks Dr.. I have gone underweight on KETO And finally found the info I need in your channel
Now I begin next chapter... rebuilding my body. .my muscles...
I am on keto diet 3 months, I am diabetic 46yrs. My insulin is down to 11 units daily compared to 32 for yrs. I had ulcerative colitis, diabetic neuropathy in both legs, tendonitis in both arms, gastric pain that I couldn't lie down, I could barely walk, I thought my body was falling apart, all gone, I can walk 4 miles every day and exercise . I am down to 57 kilos, I wish I knew about dangerous carbs years ago
can you do a video about ketones? i have one person in particular that loves to tell me they are so bad for the body. and that keto is not healthy LONG term. He claims to have read studies which he then cannot provide. would just like to understand the process of how they work better and what effects they do have on our health.
I can’t tell you how much I am thankful your time and your effort to educate people. I wish I knew at least 10 years ago. Its hard to convince my husband and kids to not eat many chemicals/ toxic foods.
Would you please let me know all the ingredients/ different names of MSG and bad chemicals in ingredients I should know about. I know a few because of your videos but want to know all of them so I can stay away.
Thank you for your heart for people to stay healthy.
Your videos are all great!!
I'm also a doctor, and I would like to hear from you, not what you think about it, but what science has to say. All you're talking now, it's a theory that have no back ground on the literature.
You're talking is really sentimental, but no date based.
Hi, you can actually get the research and papers via Thomas De Lauers channel. He is much more "scientific" in his videos and also links the appropriate papers and studies below.
And I agree, while Dr. Eckberg is right in his claims, this was really more of an anecdotal video, but watch a few other videos about this topic, a lot of interesting stuff to discover. Especially if you understand the Insulin cycle with Insulin and Glucagon and what the diabetes "treatments" actually do.
As is said, if you want more scientific information, Thomas de Lauer and Dr. Berry are better, Dr Berry is actually a medical doctor as well.
I have been on the keto diet for 3 months and I have never felt so good I eat 4 eggs every morning I eat veggies cheese if I eat any carbs at all income from low glycemic sources berries buckwheat but in very small amounts and I feel amazing I can't remember ever having so much energy
I threw more than half of the foods that were in my pantry like rice, flour, breads, chips, snacks, chips, candies, canned carbs, so I threw all fake foods!!!! My daughters and my husband and me did keto for only four months and we are getting healthier by the day!!!!!!! Thank you for another great video!!!!
A friend of mine just shared about his brother, just died of cardiovascular complications ...his diet...typical keto diet.
I can this ha 2 strokes due to hb and been a diabetic I can tell since starred the keto lifestyle I'm no longer diabetic my A1C is at 4.8 snd feel amazing when I posted on fb 1 friend told me that her Dr and dietician told her that keto was dangerous because makes your body insulin resistance 😂
Hi Joni hi hi hi bu hi hi Nikki
I like Dr Sten Ekberg explanation on how foods are used by the body simply. Biochemistry is really very complicated but Dr. Ekberg made it simple. So eat natural food.
Nutritionists in the Philippines are saying that there are meta analysis saying that Saturated fats are bad
I find KETO/OMAD simple and easy. Live, Eat, And Move like your Ancestors. Grass fed meat, butter, and cruciferous vegetables, sweet potato every now and again. I restricted to 50 grams of carbs a day. I started Keto in January, I am down 40 lbs as of today. I could have lost more, but I am going slow and steady with great results. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Any long term vegetarian Keto folks? I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks and I’m not going back. Main reason is it’s health benefits that I haven’t read up on so far. Doing it on a 20/4 schedule and this is also beneficial.
Thanks to your information and my determination to drop to a safe level. Tick. I was IR A1C 15 now 5.4 in three months. Thanks your a legend. Roy. 56yo. 🇦🇺
I do find difficulty with sustaining, especially with carb eaters around me.
You’re not alone. There will always be temptation around. The way I look at it is I’d rather stay healthy long term than satisfying a short term craving. Having said that, try cheating once every two weeks, fast for 24 hrs after that and then keep going with keto. Might be easier to stay on track that way
I'm glad I found your channel. Lots of good quality information. Thanks!
Thank you Bez11. Feel free to ask any health questions, and I will do my best to answer them.
First time in quite a while now that I've heard the term "fat Phobia" been used in the right context.
Excellent video...especially where you addressed the 'Too Extreme' topic. This is a good point to counteract the 'know it all skeptics'. Thank you!

Thank you Mc Mc.
I've been considering the keto diet for some time, but wanted to do my research prior. This was a good video. I can agree with sugar and processed grains being bad carbs, but what about things like apples, bananas, beans, quinoa, oats, carrots, potatoes in their whole raw forms? Do these types of carbs not add proper nutrition for a diet? Genuinely want to know.
I don't believe "fat phobia" should be the main reason for doubting keto as a "healthy" diet doing long term straight but rather it is the missing out on other important nutrients. By avoiding every food because of carb content such as fruits and vegetables we are also avoiding some essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc.
Good point. I never recommend to reduce non-starchy vegetables. Most people can also do some fruit and berries while maintaining keto.
