@@MegaMARLEEN1 it's true, your body does need to adapt, but it will. I've been living this way for a few years now and my body is used to me eating like 3-4 pounds of food in a sitting - never was before . . . not even when I was in the marines
I started the Keto diet in March of this year. I immediately stopped sugar and flours, including ground provisions. I walk for 1.5 hours 5 days per week, since September 2020. I went from a size 14 to a size 10. The pain in my left knee is gone and the pain in my right hand is also gone (I was diagnosed with arthritis). I sleep better, my skin is looking younger and have more energy. I'm 61 years old, and this is my lifestyle from now on. I eat twice daily: 11 am and 6pm. Watching Dr. Sven's videos makes everything more understandable.
Could you please kindly response in the morning do you drink coffee ?? If yes what did you mix in the coffee? Because I’m on OMAD four days ago thinking go back on IF. Don’t know what to do ? Having OMAD at 4 pm. Can I eat one boiled egg with BP coffee in the morning??
@@Arthur88 yes. every time you eat, no matter what you eat. No carb/sugar, low carb/sugar; Insulin is made. so if you ate everything in one setting/ giant meal/ within the same time frame. your body would create less Insulin. also the longer you intermitt fast (No food) Glucogin is made which is the opposite of insulin, and your body creates H.G.H and enters atophogy where it fixes, reconstructs, strenghtens, creates all new cells, tissue, muscle bone, ligaments, blood.
I wanted to share this with you. 2015 I found out that I have acute kidney failure. After getting out of the hospital the best my kidneys have done is 34%. Usually their function goes up and down. It's difficult to be consistent with everyday life. Several months ago I started fasting every month but still drinking my water for the kidneys. I had my kidneys checked and they were at 35%. Today I got the new results and they were at 38% the highest they have been since I got sick. It has to be the fasting. I'm very grateful for your videos and I thank the Lord for wisdom I came across. I initially tried fasting to help my joints. After loosing over 20 lbs. It has helped. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. I have CKD 3 and have received so many negative comments about fasting with a chronic kidney problem. Congratulations on your successful fasting strategies. You have given me the confidence to carry on.
I hope yuou are getting better, I believe too that before chemo is worth trying not the feed the tumor by fastinga nd see what happens. I pray for you to heal my fiend, lots of love
I was just in the auto shop waiting room. Two people in the waiting room with me got chips and soda out of the vending machines. I bought a cold water and realized that I had no desire for the other choices. 🙆♀️ My mindset has radically changed over the last four months!
We are what we eat, I no longer crave diet cokes and cinnabuns as a truck driver were a staple, I've lost 60+# in a year. .one meal a day, and snack on nuts!!!
@@drekberg I found that if I ate nothing but fat and protein for 4 or 5 days whenever I was hungry, it killed my cravings. Then I would start my fasting. I dropped 46lbs in 2.5 months.
Between you and a few other Drs on you tube I've lost over a hundred lbs dropped my blood pressure to 117/83 and feel incredible. My personal Dr wanted to put me one meds and low fat diet. I need to find a better Dr. Thank you for all your information. Be safe live well 😁
Wow! I lived on stimulants for energy since the age of three yrs. It was lots of sugar in the thinned coffee for children to let us help at the busy Farm. At early age. I love Sten Ekberg for helping me. Am 63 now and begin to feel some disturbances in my body. I scan myself carefully for what I eat with the information of this channel. I subscribed!
Yes!! I am grateful to all of them after my Dr kinda gave up on me once the lockdowns last yr. No in person appts, phone only, then started ignoring my emails, so....🤷♀️ Thank God for these Pros!🙏
the medical & pharmaceutical industries are long established, involved a European meeting with Rothschild & rose after the war. Notice how powerful they are? That's no accident & neither is the fact that Canadian Naturopaths are mugged from speaking out on how High Anti-Oxidants & C flushes resolves viruses!
How will it change the world? The ONLY thing that will help the world is human population reduction.....too many people. Then we can educate people into eating right and be less dependent on manufactured foods which would involve less processed foods and less disease. Them is the reality.
This fine man has changed my life. He makes me understand what I need to know to have a better quality of life in my twilight years. Thank you so much.
I have dropped my AC1 from 11.1 to 6.4 in 4 months. Eat mostly a plant based diet, with some seafoods. I stick to 2 cups of black coffee with the second cup I recently started to put 1 tablespoon of MTC oil, which did help me to increase my fasting window from 16 to 17 hours. My reason for fasting is to bring my A1C down to a normal range, I’m close but not quite there. I use almond flour and stevia to make my baked goods, muffins,cheese cake, cookies etc. I use arrow root to bread my fish, I eat really good without grains or sugar. Learned a lot from Dr. William Davis books. This was before the Keto craze. Even make my ice cream with heavy cream and berries. His 3 books are on Amazon.
The best channel to answer questions you have regarding health! I am on my second fast thanks to Dr. Ekberg. First time I did 2 days intermittent fasting and began water fasting for 5 days to break the insulin resistance and help autoimmune/thyroid issues. I lost 10 pounds and felt amazing. My husband lost 15! 4 weeks later I am on it again and have lost 5 more pounds. I was having UTI/kidney pain so goal was to get into autophagy and get rid of infection. Looking forward to getting to my goal weight and having better health! Thanks to Dr. Ekberg and a cousin who sent me his video! ❤
Having said that, I think we can make the effort to watch an ad or two during every video. These are really like one-on-one sessions with a doctor, which would cost a heck of a lot under normal circumstances. The least we can do is channel some ad revenue his way!
Thank You Larry Chan so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I love that Dr. Ekberg has been very emphatic about stopping sugar. My regular Doctors don't discuss much about the benefits of lifestyle changes. Sometimes they even discourage my wanting to change. I have never understood how or why some people can be so discouraging about someone else wanting to change their lifestyle for the better. I am learning to not listen to the naysayers, no matter if they are the person next door or a professional person, such as a doctor. My Blood sugar has been getting better and better as I lower my sugar and processed food intake. Yes, I understand that I might not ever completely quit all the bad stuff, but when I think about the consequences of not doing any lifestyle changes, and how that would eventually result in kidney or some other organ failure; knowing that people like Dr. Ekberg are out there cheering on me and others such as myself to change our lifestyles, the incentive to change is doubled.
Watching Dr Ekberg is a revelation, i been struggling with being gluten intolerance for several year’s, I’m slowly re-educating my body to a Keto and eating once a day, its a struggle giving up gluten free bread, but I’m getting there.
This man and Jason fung are enough..more than enough..they aren't processed humans...they are true healers..backed by good evidence..the evidence that can't be denied...you are bringing this information ...clearly and easy understood..reminds me of the best lectures..when I attended university..you encourage learning and critical thinking..thankyou.
@@ligayaannawi4779 just read metabolical by Dr Lustig. I stopped drinking because of that book. I always thought alcohol spirits were ok on keto. Well, not any more. Not good for my liver and I may as well be eating candy instead of drinking. I eat no sugar, why drink then?
The masses still want to hear they can eat all day and just take a pill...fasting requires discipline and most people can't even skip one meal much less go several days with zero calories
We must have started at the about the same time. I'm on day 20 of 21hr, now OMAD. Have lost my little belly (4cm/1.5" down) and gone from 17% to 13% body fat (according our home scales). Very happy!
Just started this for 2 weeks, already lost 6 kg. No need for sugar...i think its amazing. For now i eat twice a day with fasting 18 hours. Its not hard ,quiet easy to be honest.greetings from the Netherlands!!
Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Hey Doc, soon to be medical student "Pray for me" haha, I wanted to personally thank you for all of the hard work and breakdowns you've put into the videos. Beyond awesome. God bless you Doc. -Future Dr. Henry
Thank you for mentioning that there are people who have insulin resistance (or diabetes) but who are not overweight. I am in this category and get annoyed with the assumption that all diabetics are obese. I’m 5’ 7.5” and 155lbs. I have been low-carb and intermittent fasting for six weeks and have lost a few pounds. My purpose is to lower my sugars, not to lose weight.
Thank you Heather AbuSneineh. Keep carbs low, eat fat until full and do IF. Then be patient. The first few pounds are fluid that you lose when your glycogen stores go down, then it should stabilize😄
Yes, I had a friend who was extremely thin with T2. She passed away at only 53 years old from heart blockages. She passed away while being preped for stents.
Same. I'm a type one diabetic. My a1c is 5.1% and my weight is 127lbs I'm 5'5". But I don't lose weight I make sure I eat enough. But I think I have insulin resistance too. Been keto over a year and has helped me with my depression and Hypertension. And I'm taking less insulin of course.
My weight loss so far..!! First snack at 12 noon, lunch 1 pm, gym from 5.30 pm to 7 or however long it takes.. one scoop of protein powder after the workout and last meal at 8 pm.. i have black coffee with one table spoon of honey at around 6 am.. Almost 4 months in.. Started at 265 pounds or 120 kgs Current weight 210 pounds or 95 kgs Working out 5 days a week. 1 day of HIIT 4 days of weight training. What i eat? I am not a dietician or anything, so i just try to eat healthy.. it's not rocket science.. stop with sugar and refined carbs.. that's it..!! If this helped you I'm happy.. PS. I still have my 2 beers every Sunday afternoon 😂 (which i intended to stop by next month and completely give up on alcohol) Remember!! Good things take time and you'll start seeing results only after a month or so.. Cheers 👍
I've got to give up alcohol. Becose that is the only thing I struggle with. AL the rest is fine. Straight keto. And fasting. When I fast I never drink alcohol. Only pure water. I never use to drink much alcohol in my live. And now sometimes when listening to music. Ore when I'm in friends company... From now on I stop completely. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Read the book "this naked mind" by Annie Grace. I read it 3 times in a row a couple years ago and I can now be around friends that are drinking without feeling even a twinge of temptation to join them. It's a miracle, truly.
I found it easier to give up alcohol with friends by drinking sparkling water with a splash of lemon in a cocktail cup. You can also make a mocktail with cold tea.
I was diagnosed with extreme highblood pressure… I have been looking at your videos for two days now like the other guy said I love the fact that you aren’t selling anything. Thanks for those videos I am less freaking out and I will try the I-F, Have a great day Sir.
I am a doctor and was so blown away with how clear, sensible and grounded this guidance is , thanks very much. I was wondering if we can eat nuts (brazil and walnust) when fasting if we get super hungry ...I do 16/8 about 4 days a week skipping breakfast and only eating lunch and dinner....am new to it.
Thank you, Dr. Sten Ekberg! I am part of an intermittent fasting group on Facebook, and people are always asking about this. I am going to post this video.
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. I love your videos. I love the way you go into detail. Knowledge is power. Just knowing what to do isn't the same as how something works or why. I appreciate your candor.
Thank you Pam Fuller. 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. 😄
My belly fat is vanishing without a trace and fast. I have lost 60 lbs and now it is mostly coming from what's left of my belly. I drink two cups before 2 pm. I put one TBL of butter fat in my black coffee. I drink teas, lemon and Acv and water. I walk at least 4 miles a day. I stay in ketosis and autophagy at least 19 hours, but often go 21 hours. I eat only certain foods during the day,so I stay in ketosis. I am very strict on portion control of food eaten.
This sounds strict and challenging but it sounds like you have a regimen that works for you. How soon did you see weight loss from the time you started?
I don't like being called after the spark plug , Champion 😂 I would prefer Boss after spark plug , Bosh 😂 Hi Bosses how is your health sounds awkward , maybe the Leaders in healthy lifestyles ?😊
Thanks for being there Dr Ekberg, it’s really saved my life. I drink about 6 or 7 cups of decaf coffee a day. Bullet coffee is crap. I use to weigh 428 lbs and I’m down to 270, but having problems getting the last 30 or 40 lbs off. Really been thinking about the lion diet to help me with the rest, but it seems to be expensive. I’m 61 and have a lot of back pain and leg pain from a 30’ fall. Thanks for all the information and taking the time to share.
Just go lions for 30days and you will see!! I'm 8 months in and did it for metabolic disorder my husband did it for arthritis and weight loss. It did not disappoint
@@anitaharvey6233 I e been doing the intermittent fasting for a couple years now. But really want to try the lion diet. Groceries are out of this word now so not sure I’m going to be able to afford it.
@gordangraham Outstanding job losing the weight! How is your gut biome? My wife and I started drinking 8 ounces of organic plain kefir a day and feel it has amazing benefits for weight loss. Hope this helps.
Hey Gordan! First: by surviving a 30' fall, you are one of the luckiest people alive, so congratulations! Second: regarding the cost of meat. If you're in the US, look at pork steaks and chicken thighs. They are delicious and fatty, and in my experience are among the most affordable per pound. Cheers!
I am learning so much from your You Tube channel. I have been on a Keto diet since May, and although I have been buying and reading books by the “experts”, your explanations are so much more helpful; thank you.
Who else watches cooking receipes while fasting? As a muslim in non-muslim country sitting next to non-fasting schoolmates in school was the best training for strength of will and I am grateful for it.
What about mild fasting on squeezed lemons and water mixture, and alternate with 8oz. water to one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and mild walks as a body cleanser? It sure helped my kidney stone problem.
In May this year I started a not so strict regime of low carbs and no sugar (not evident sugar) and combined with an intermitent fasting 16/8 I have lost 10 kg. Also I walk 1 hour daily 5 days per week. The reason I changed mi food habits was a slight pain in the liver (I think is the gallbladder). Now I don't have that pain and I feel great.
I do have 2 cups of coffee I make myself. Usual ingredients: tsp black peppercorns + 1-3 cloves + tsp turmeric + mild coffee beans + 4-5 cinnamon sticks. It does taste very lightly sweet(cinnamon). Done for years. May add a pinch of cayenne. Q: Would that break my fasting. Usually have 2 cups before noon. Thank you Dr Ekberg. Been watching for a few years now. Getting on fasting journey - about time 😊
This is the most helpful thing I have ever found, I need reason's based on facts and what we know. Not just a dude saying do this it worked for me. I eat these videos up keep them coming!!!
Thanks again Dr Ekberg I am down 14 pounds and I am feeling great. I follow your directions and things seem so effortless now. I enjoy preparing my food and save money at the supermarket. I walk 4-5 miles almost everyday and practice deep breathing for distressing. I can’t thank you enough!
@@lightbeingpontifex I eat 2 meals a day sometimes one . low carb with healthy organic fats I don’t worry much about the protein but I am still learning
Hi It's still good! if I find myself off of my diet i just get back on it I have kept the weight of since i wrote thistwo years ago . Sometimes I am tempted so bad though :) @@Hate_DeMonicRATS
Coffee for me thank you. I sweeten with stevia and add a tiny bit of 35% cream. I've been OMAD and keto for two years now. MASSIVE improvement in health, let me tell you.
@@michalis7495 I'm not very brand loyal. I'll usually buy whatever is cheapest, though I do check ingredients. If much of anything out of the ordinary has been added, I'll typically skip it.
I’ve been intermittent fasting (20/4) for about a month now and have only been drinking water, coffee, and green tea. If you keep busy it’s really not difficult to do and my energy level is consistently good throughout the day; gym workouts seem better than before. I didn’t know I could have a little unsweetened almond milk in my coffee, which is great news. I feel like I’m cheating. ;) Thanks for the video!
Thank you Dr Ekberg! Your info is very helpful! I do water fasts every few months, have done 10 days, 5 days and 3 days, and 1 day! It’s not as hard as some say! I do my normal activities, just at a slower pace. One time I walked 3 miles on day 3 of my 5 day! I was amazed at how much energy I had! I find that when I’m feeling tired, if I get up and move around, I get more energy! Fasting on water only, is cleaning my house, my body is my house!
Anyone else hit a plateau and then NO weight.loss at all? I lost 11 pounds then after 2 weeks of 20hr daily Fasting I lost no weight at all on fact gained a pound! It was like my body said, "oh yer doing this eh, well Im honna scrape EVERY possible caloroed from your food to stopweightliss."
@@muskokalad9567yes, I’ve reached a Plato too. What I do is, (and it seems to be working) is every now and then I eat carbohydrates so my body doesn’t get used to not having it - and this seems “reset” the fasting again. Good luck!
Joona, years ago in Finland, we drank well water & there were outhouses :) Finns have been ahead of the curve in regards to benefits of fasting. Before I ever heard of authophagy there was 'autolysis' same thing different name.
You should go watch a documentary on water. Why it doesn't matter how clean the water is. Water has memory, it is how the water is moved and shaped that is the most important how it affects your health.
I’ve been doing 48 hour fasting each week for the past 3 weeks on water, ACV, green tea, and a weird soup I make (with my Indian spices and 2 cloves of garlic and ginger and pink Himalayan salt). I sleep so much better, generally more active, got more done and no acne during my shark week. (Sorry for the TMI.) Thank you for the lovely video.
I am so thankful for finding this channel. I have been struggling with my weight after having kids. I have done every yo-yo diet there is, and I realize now that I have been going about my weight loss all wrong! So thank you! I have never done Intermittent fasting before, so this will be a slow process for me to get used to, but I am excited to try it.
Thank you Dr. Sten! Your videos are so clear and so well presented. I'm glad you said coffee with cream is OK because I have lost almost 50 lbs in 5 months drinking 2 or 3 cups during my 16/8 to 20/4 intermittent fasting.
I had eczema for TWENTY SIX years , thought I'd die with it ( elbows , knees really bad , cracking , hard etc ) Tried so many things with only marginal success.Started intermittent fasting to reverse type II diabetes ( Which it DID ) Did a 9 day water only fast , then a 10 day others 5&7&4 etc Noticed psoriasis / eczema improving dramatically....gone COMPLETELY in 8 MONTHS ‼️‼️
I continue to learn so much from Dr. Ekberg. His visual aids, charts, key words displayed on the screen (like cephalic response in this one) truly show his desire to teach others how to build a healthy life worth living. Thank you!
Well... you answered all my drinking questions in this video. I watched it three times in a row to make sure I understood. I had a tough time understanding how a diet drink with no calories and no sugar could be bad, but thanks to this excellent presentation, I get it now. Good Job!
Ur awesome mate , the content from this channel is changing peoples lives . Manny out there but only 1 that covers everything in detail ur a genius and a non brand promoter hope your making bank from this channel and living a great life because its deserved thanks
Thank you Dr your program is my favorite. I am 69. When I started I was 50+ I started intermittent fasting 1 year ago and lost about 20 lbs. I am much better health. Thank you for honesty. You accept when you are not sure. Appreciate that. Have a great day.
Wow...i am on a prolonged fast, but i have Been drinking coconut water during work, which helps me a lot with energy. Now that i know its not Good, i will try to substitute with black tea with cashew milk. Thank you Dr.
For me, lemon. 1:9 ratio of squeezed juice to spring water. Also, distilled water, 6 oz every hour to help remove various excesses in the body. But only for the fast - do not regular use it! I had high potassium my doctor was alarmed at. Did a fast with the distilled water and amazed him with the result.
@@Da_cat12 hi, if i slow-juice a lemon, skin and all, then use that juice to make a 1:9 with mineral water. Would that be o.k for a proper fast? How many liters should I drink 24 hours? thanks
I was actually hoping you would also talk about Kefir (both the milk variety and the water variety) or Kombucha. Could you please elaborate on those as well? How healthy are they really? And are they okay for any of the points you talked about in this video?
Yes -- my question too! I make continuous brew kombucha and drink it with nothing else (no fruit) added. Is this okay during fasting period, or should I wait for an eating period? Or, would it be good to break the fast with it and therefore add some probiotics and vinegar/acid to stomach before eating other food?
@@sarawormewoole9284 personal opinion, but I think drinking it right before eating would be the best call. It still has some trace sugar (still fine for keto, for most people) but enough to break a fast I'd imagine.
I love that you broke down the objectives columns. Would an inflammation column make sense, or would that be the same as keto or autophagy? Thanks for your great information!
I'm a 63-year-old vegan and I have been doing 16:8 for over a month although I started at 14:10 and I feel like I have a ton more energy and I already had a lot of energy to begin with and my brain feels clear! Even as a vegan, I had sugar addiction problems, and they have gone away without any effort from me, also including a desire for potato chips and things like that
My brain (and habits) are the problem! I had to watch this a second time to fully understand this simple message. So far this week 16 hours between two healthier meals with only coffee with cream in the morning. I'm not going to think about the next step for awhile to find out how this goes.
Lots ppl from other countries even took some of your material to share in TH-cam in their language. You made other got their income during pandemic. Your sharing made me healthier, lose weight hopefully my blood test next month will look better. You made way so much better impact on others life. Thank you. God bless you.
@@jssanch24 sugar 4.9 ( range max 5.3), Cholestrol down 0.3 still over limit , need to lower another 0.5. I’m not discipline after lose 6 kg in less than 3 mths that’s why I didn’t reach target. Stay healthy and happy. Thank you for asking.
I fast 5 days per week, one meal per day Mon to Fri, one pop & one coffee per day, drink 4+ L of water per day, on the weekends I eat what I want when I want but because my stomach has shrunk so much I can't eat very much. Since I've started fasting (3months; breakfast and dinner, the last 2 weeks only one meal per day) I went from 240lbs to 211lbs. These last 2 weeks I've found that I didn't miss the breakfast, and I wasn't any hungrier when I did finally eat dinner....Isn't that strange!? P.S. I've never enjoyed eating a fine home cooked meal as much as I have these last 3 months.
Great info, I'm amazed at the number of experts out there saying cream will break a fast, I use a couple of tablespoons in my coffee and it barely moves my blood glucose.
Thanks for clarifying how much almond milk! I was getting pretty frustrated with everyone saying it was kind of okay with fasting, but I had no idea whether that meant one tablespoon a day or two cups a day. I measure 1/3 a cup here and there but I'm not even close to using six of those. Thanks.
Thank you, Dr Sven!! Much appreciated in both information and style. I’m an ER physician and osteopath. Keto has helped a bunch. Intermittent fasting is my current new thing. Your clarity is helping both me and my patients.
I would suggest buying some grounding shoes or a grounding kit for your shoes. Look into it. May be highly beneficial for you as well. Hospitals are overloaded with toxic Wi-Fi signals. It’s affecting you whether you know it or not
@@squadabingo7290 I work in a hospital intensive care unit and I experience headaches, tension, aches and pains within an hour of starting my shift. Sometimes I think it is because of the stressful environment. Are you saying that all the wifi, monitors, alarms (audible and visual) could be affecting me long term?
Simply love how thoroughly all of my questions are answered. Even when I didn't know I had a question and while I am listening to new information the questions are answered as soon as they are thought of. Amazing work! Greatly appreciate you.
This happens sooo many times... almost as if besides most excellent straight forward, detailed, ultra clear explanations, there is some mibd reading going on. If you notice, this doctor shows yo< what videos of his you have watched in past and currently. BRAVO! Wonderful feature which allows continuity of learning of all the related information being touched on and the being given for additional research You cannot help but be grateful for the degree of foresight and effort goes into thist great teacher and healer. Please, could you please do a series on the possable need to know when/how/why to do toxic binders/an eliminatiors?
How come is intermittent fasting viewed by so many people as being such a dangerous thing when in fact, the opposite is the case? Do other people WANT us to get diabetis, cancer, arthritis, blood pressure, a disrupted sleep management and dementia? And WHY do I come to such a conclusion? After viewing videos like this one, I couldn't help noticing that foods and drinks primarily containing carbohydrates and sugars seem to increase insulin and cortisol levels, which are said to be bad for your health. I am quite grateful for the way doctor Ekberg explainednutritional aspects of what and how we can eat to promote body health, but I also used to watch videos from doctor Fuhrmann, which inspired me originally encouraged me to curb down on body fat. I once weighed beyond 100 kilograms, but I began to feel uneasy about weighing so much when I realized how negative I felt vulnerable due to coming to know which diseases could befall me if I stayed onthis path. It wasn't always easy, but I manged to reduce my wight to around 70 kgs, which I feel content with - also because my physician told me my blood samples were on the healthy side after being analysed.
Day 4 of a 7 day fast and yesterday I had coke zero... I had terrible sleep and woke up with typical symptoms of low blood sugar, feeling week, like I was gonna pass out.. then I found this video and understand what happened. Thank you, Dr.!
dont drink coke zero !!! it contains articifal sweeteners and those sweeteners kills your good bacteria that you need in the guts and stomach. ! big warning my friend! but keep going with the fasting thats agood thing !
Agreed. My main reason for intermittent fasting is to reduce calories without having to count them. Since I was a night eater this is an easy way to do it, and if it has other benefits all the better.
Doc can you do a focus on how fasting boost the immune system? Thankyou for all your videos I learned so much and shared with many friends and family so we all can change.
Water (with Himalayan pink salt added) and herb tea are my favorite beverages to drink. I am so glad they are at the top of the healthy/fast friendly beverages.
Have been doing this for a week ,cannot wait to fast everyday and give body a chance to recover from decades of "abuse". Bread,sugar packaged foods. I am on 18/6 and I never thought I would be sucking on a squeezed lemon to get all the pulp and goodness out. Sour cream, plain yogurt,apple cider vinegar sardines,salmon,vegetables.....Now I have to find a good Keto bread recipe
Not sure about a recipe, but SOLA bread brand is the fabulous in taste, texture, etc. Usually found in the freezer section in most grocery stores. Found on the bread aisle at Walmart.
What about instant soup? There are carbs in it and the amount depends on brand and flavor. My goal: losing 30-35 kilos of unwanted belly fat. Actually, all goals 1 to 4 apply. I hope keto diet will also alleviate brain fog.
I like this black board, it's very friendly for the eyes, Dr. Ekberg I really wish if you would continue your upcoming uploads with this great mode, pls.?
Love Listening to you .l am a medical doctor but i really appreciate your patience , gentleness and information . You have a wonderful way of explaining .
"You don't want to add tap water" this is applicable in USA and many other countries where the water tastes like chloride. In Sweden, Holland and some other countries the tap water in most cases better than bottled water.
@@Bjorn374 My claim on the Swedish and Dutch water is based on own experience. I saw a TH-cam clip where they compared bottled waters with each other, but haven't saved the link.
I live in Holland. The water here is not as good as you should think. That has to do with the toxins (many rivers in Holland end in Holland, and there are a lot of companies who dump their toxins in the rivers), which are very costly to filter out by the water companies.
bottled water is often just tap water. And tap water has to meet higher standards than bottled. That being said, we all know certain areas of the country are suffering from pollution affecting the water. I live in an old building, with old pipes. I don't like to think about drinking the water that runs through those pipes. I use a filter for my coffee and cooking water and buy filtered water at the store for drinking.

Cream is too much for a diabetic with high cholesterol
I think I don t do well with too much oil and cream and butter.
Just slowing it down now.
Last night and this morning I never left the toilet.
@@MegaMARLEEN1 it's true, your body does need to adapt, but it will.
I've been living this way for a few years now and my body is used to me eating like 3-4 pounds of food in a sitting - never was before . . . not even when I was in the marines
I started the Keto diet in March of this year. I immediately stopped sugar and flours, including ground provisions. I walk for 1.5 hours 5 days per week, since September 2020. I went from a size 14 to a size 10. The pain in my left knee is gone and the pain in my right hand is also gone (I was diagnosed with arthritis). I sleep better, my skin is looking younger and have more energy. I'm 61 years old, and this is my lifestyle from now on. I eat twice daily: 11 am and 6pm. Watching Dr. Sven's videos makes everything more understandable.
Could you please kindly response in the morning do you drink coffee ?? If yes what did you mix in the coffee? Because I’m on OMAD four days ago thinking go back on IF. Don’t know what to do ? Having OMAD at 4 pm. Can I eat one boiled egg with BP coffee in the morning??
Well Done Bertha. Keep It Up 👍
Hi, I live the same lifestyle as yourself, I'm 66 and very active, nice to meet you! J.S.
if you ate at 5:00 pm instead of 11:am and again at 6:00 pm youe benefits would multiply
@@Arthur88 yes. every time you eat, no matter what you eat. No carb/sugar, low carb/sugar; Insulin is made. so if you ate everything in one setting/ giant meal/ within the same time frame. your body would create less Insulin.
also the longer you intermitt fast (No food) Glucogin is made which is the opposite of insulin, and your body creates H.G.H and enters atophogy where it fixes, reconstructs, strenghtens, creates all new cells, tissue, muscle bone, ligaments, blood.
I wanted to share this with you. 2015 I found out that I have acute kidney failure. After getting out of the hospital the best my kidneys have done is 34%. Usually their function goes up and down. It's difficult to be consistent with everyday life. Several months ago I started fasting every month but still drinking my water for the kidneys. I had my kidneys checked and they were at 35%. Today I got the new results and they were at 38% the highest they have been since I got sick. It has to be the fasting. I'm very grateful for your videos and I thank the Lord for wisdom I came across. I initially tried fasting to help my joints. After loosing over 20 lbs. It has helped. Thank you.
hope your health continues to improve my friend
Yes God said we will perish from a lack of knowledge.lord continue to bless us with wisdom and knowledge!
Autophagy state heals the body ❤
Thank you for your comment. I have CKD 3 and have received so many negative comments about fasting with a chronic kidney problem. Congratulations on your successful fasting strategies. You have given me the confidence to carry on.
Hardly anyone makes good or bad comments about our precious kidneys
They filter our blood n everything
We usually all are abusing them😮
Im on my day 10 of water fasting. I've already felt some benefits, but most importantly, I'm starting to see the tumor shrinking. Ill keep going 💪🏼
Alles Gute❤
I hope yuou are getting better, I believe too that before chemo is worth trying not the feed the tumor by fastinga nd see what happens. I pray for you to heal my fiend, lots of love
So only water for 10 days?

@@drekberg I found that if I ate nothing but fat and protein for 4 or 5 days whenever I was hungry, it killed my cravings. Then I would start my fasting. I dropped 46lbs in 2.5 months.
Now we know why us Americans are so obese
I just started watching this guy 3 weeks ago down 7 to 10 lbs I’m pushing 60
Cheers
I love how that happens...
Between you and a few other Drs on you tube I've lost over a hundred lbs dropped my blood pressure to 117/83 and feel incredible. My personal Dr wanted to put me one meds and low fat diet. I need to find a better Dr. Thank you for all your information. Be safe live well 😁
Wow! I lived on stimulants for energy since the age of three yrs. It was lots of sugar in the thinned coffee for children to let us help at the busy Farm. At early age.

Don't forget dr Becky

You forgot Dr Pepper
Yes!! I am grateful to all of them after my Dr kinda gave up on me once the lockdowns last yr. No in person appts, phone only, then started ignoring my emails, so....🤷♀️ Thank God for these Pros!🙏
This doctors programs should be mandatory in all schools, it would change the world in many many ways
You are so so right 👍👍👍👍
the medical & pharmaceutical industries are long established, involved a European meeting with Rothschild & rose after the war. Notice how powerful they are? That's no accident & neither is the fact that Canadian Naturopaths are mugged from speaking out on how High Anti-Oxidants & C flushes resolves viruses!
How will it change the world?

Thank You Carol Orth. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Can you join his channel to help support him
Carol Orth - Very much agree.
I have dropped my AC1 from 11.1 to 6.4 in 4 months. Eat mostly a plant based diet, with some seafoods. I stick to 2 cups of black coffee with the second cup I recently started to put 1 tablespoon of MTC oil, which did help me to increase my fasting window from 16 to 17 hours. My reason for fasting is to bring my A1C down to a normal range, I’m close but not quite there. I use almond flour and stevia to make my baked goods, muffins,cheese cake, cookies etc. I use arrow root to bread my fish, I eat really good without grains or sugar. Learned a lot from Dr. William Davis books. This was before the Keto craze. Even make my ice cream with heavy cream and berries. His 3 books are on Amazon.
The best channel to answer questions you have regarding health! I am on my second fast thanks to Dr. Ekberg. First time I did 2 days intermittent fasting and began water fasting for 5 days to break the insulin resistance and help autoimmune/thyroid issues. I lost 10 pounds and felt amazing. My husband lost 15! 4 weeks later I am on it again and have lost 5 more pounds. I was having UTI/kidney pain so goal was to get into autophagy and get rid of infection. Looking forward to getting to my goal weight and having better health! Thanks to Dr. Ekberg and a cousin who sent me his video! ❤
Kindly update how you are doing now
Have you tried D-Mannose powder for the uti. I watched Dr.Berg utube video and had success with giving it to my wife. Best wishes.
i like that you are not selling anything but sharing important information that is actually beneficial:) thank you.
Mainstream docs, pharma folks, and people who want to stick with what doesn’t work....?
But let me tell you about Thrive market 😜
Exactlly!
Having said that, I think we can make the effort to watch an ad or two during every video. These are really like one-on-one sessions with a doctor, which would cost a heck of a lot under normal circumstances. The least we can do is channel some ad revenue his way!
I like the T-Shirts for sale !
Sent you a cup of green tea to show my appreciation for your effort, this video helped me a lot! Thank you!
Thank You Larry Chan so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I love that Dr. Ekberg has been very emphatic about stopping sugar. My regular Doctors don't discuss much about the benefits of lifestyle changes. Sometimes they even discourage my wanting to change. I have never understood how or why some people can be so discouraging about someone else wanting to change their lifestyle for the better. I am learning to not listen to the naysayers, no matter if they are the person next door or a professional person, such as a doctor. My Blood sugar has been getting better and better as I lower my sugar and processed food intake. Yes, I understand that I might not ever completely quit all the bad stuff, but when I think about the consequences of not doing any lifestyle changes, and how that would eventually result in kidney or some other organ failure; knowing that people like Dr. Ekberg are out there cheering on me and others such as myself to change our lifestyles, the incentive to change is doubled.
Watching Dr Ekberg is a revelation, i been struggling with being gluten intolerance for several year’s, I’m slowly re-educating my body to a Keto and eating once a day, its a struggle giving up gluten free bread, but I’m getting there.
I like the fact the doc recommends that a person tests themselves to see how their body reacts. This is so true. Every body is different
This man and Jason fung are enough..more than enough..they aren't processed humans...they are true healers..backed by good evidence..the evidence that can't be denied...you are bringing this information ...clearly and easy understood..reminds me of the best lectures..when I attended university..you encourage learning and critical thinking..thankyou.
He’s a genius
Include Dr. Jamnadas, a cardiologist and Dr. Lustig, an endocrinologist. I listen to them also aside from Dr. Fung and Dr. Ekberg.
@@ligayaannawi4779 just read metabolical by Dr Lustig.
I stopped drinking because of that book. I always thought alcohol spirits were ok on keto. Well, not any more. Not good for my liver and I may as well be eating candy instead of drinking. I eat no sugar, why drink then?
And Dr. Ken Berry.
The masses still want to hear they can eat all day and just take a pill...fasting requires discipline and most people can't even skip one meal much less go several days with zero calories
This guy and this channel is send from heaven to help people find their way back to health! ❤ Thank you sir!
6 days in to omad down a notch on my belt. No scale till i hit 2. Blessings my friends..
What does your one
meal consist of?
We must have started at the about the same time. I'm on day 20 of 21hr, now OMAD. Have lost my little belly (4cm/1.5" down) and gone from 17% to 13% body fat (according our home scales). Very happy!
Congratulations!
awesome, keep it up!
Well you don't lose actual fat in 6 days, you drop water weight. Fat loss takes longer and requires effort. But yes it is a good start.
Cream glorious cream! Thank you for being allowed on this list! Xxx
Im not sure, what kind of cream his talking about?
Double cream.
@@arcelesp7878 Agree. There is tons of sugar in cream. What cream he is talking about?
He es talking aboutreal cream from milk, not pouder one!

Hey Doc, soon to be medical student "Pray for me" haha, I wanted to personally thank you for all of the hard work and breakdowns you've put into the videos. Beyond awesome. God bless you Doc. -Future Dr. Henry
Thank you for mentioning that there are people who have insulin resistance (or diabetes) but who are not overweight. I am in this category and get annoyed with the assumption that all diabetics are obese. I’m 5’ 7.5” and 155lbs. I have been low-carb and intermittent fasting for six weeks and have lost a few pounds. My purpose is to lower my sugars, not to lose weight.
Thank you Heather AbuSneineh. Keep carbs low, eat fat until full and do IF. Then be patient. The first few pounds are fluid that you lose when your glycogen stores go down, then it should stabilize😄
Yes, I had a friend who was extremely thin with T2. She passed away at only 53 years old from heart blockages. She passed away while being preped for stents.
Same. I'm a type one diabetic. My a1c is 5.1% and my weight is 127lbs I'm 5'5".
But I don't lose weight I make sure I eat enough. But I think I have insulin resistance too. Been keto over a year and has helped me with my depression and Hypertension. And I'm taking less insulin of course.
Deb Jordan so sorry to hear about your friend.
You might be type 1 diabetic.
Please check the serum insulin level. If it is low, you are type 1
My weight loss so far..!!
First snack at 12 noon, lunch 1 pm, gym from 5.30 pm to 7 or however long it takes.. one scoop of protein powder after the workout and last meal at 8 pm.. i have black coffee with one table spoon of honey at around 6 am..
Almost 4 months in..
Started at 265 pounds or 120 kgs
Current weight 210 pounds or 95 kgs
Working out 5 days a week.
1 day of HIIT 4 days of weight training.
What i eat?
I am not a dietician or anything, so i just try to eat healthy.. it's not rocket science.. stop with sugar and refined carbs.. that's it..!! If this helped you I'm happy..
PS. I still have my 2 beers every Sunday afternoon 😂 (which i intended to stop by next month and completely give up on alcohol)
Remember!! Good things take time and you'll start seeing results only after a month or so..
Cheers 👍
What is bulletproof coffee?
Great job 👏🏽 😃
Manu stop using honey. It has the same insulin response as white sugar.
How old are you?
I've got to give up alcohol. Becose that is the only thing I struggle with. AL the rest is fine. Straight keto. And fasting. When I fast I never drink alcohol. Only pure water. I never use to drink much alcohol in my live. And now sometimes when listening to music. Ore when I'm in friends company... From now on I stop completely. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
I understand
Read the book "this naked mind" by Annie Grace. I read it 3 times in a row a couple years ago and I can now be around friends that are drinking without feeling even a twinge of temptation to join them. It's a miracle, truly.
Drinking alcohol ruins my sleep pattern.
I found it easier to give up alcohol with friends by drinking sparkling water with a splash of lemon in a cocktail cup. You can also make a mocktail with cold tea.
I was diagnosed with extreme highblood pressure… I have been looking at your videos for two days now like the other guy said I love the fact that you aren’t selling anything. Thanks for those videos I am less freaking out and I will try the I-F, Have a great day Sir.
High blood pressure is sludge blood,,, it's too clumpy,,, drink more water and fresh juice,,,
Have you improved?
I hope so
I am a doctor and was so blown away with how clear, sensible and grounded this guidance is , thanks very much. I was wondering if we can eat nuts (brazil and walnust) when fasting if we get super hungry ...I do 16/8 about 4 days a week skipping breakfast and only eating lunch and dinner....am new to it.
A few nuts are fine to take the edge off hunger.
Bali Buku if you are a doctor then you would know that having nuts is eating not drinking
Thank you, Dr. Sten Ekberg! I am part of an intermittent fasting group on Facebook, and people are always asking about this. I am going to post this video.
there is
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. I love your videos. I love the way you go into detail. Knowledge is power. Just knowing what to do isn't the same as how something works or why. I appreciate your candor.
Thank you Pam Fuller. 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. 😄
My belly fat is vanishing without a trace and fast. I have lost 60 lbs and now it is mostly coming from what's left of my belly. I drink two cups before 2 pm. I put one TBL of butter fat in my black coffee. I drink teas, lemon and Acv and water. I walk at least 4 miles a day. I stay in ketosis and autophagy at least 19 hours, but often go 21 hours. I eat only certain foods during the day,so I stay in ketosis. I am very strict on portion control of food eaten.
This sounds strict and challenging but it sounds like you have a regimen that works for you. How soon did you see weight loss from the time you started?
Che cosa mangi ? Che intendi per determinati cibi che mantengono ketosi?

Thanks for being there Dr Ekberg, it’s really saved my life. I drink about 6 or 7 cups of decaf coffee a day. Bullet coffee is crap. I use to weigh 428 lbs and I’m down to 270, but having problems getting the last 30 or 40 lbs off. Really been thinking about the lion diet to help me with the rest, but it seems to be expensive. I’m 61 and have a lot of back pain and leg pain from a 30’ fall. Thanks for all the information and taking the time to share.
Just go lions for 30days and you will see!! I'm 8 months in and did it for metabolic disorder my husband did it for arthritis and weight loss. It did not disappoint
@@anitaharvey6233 I e been doing the intermittent fasting for a couple years now. But really want to try the lion diet. Groceries are out of this word now so not sure I’m going to be able to afford it.
@gordangraham Outstanding job losing the weight! How is your gut biome? My wife and I started drinking 8 ounces of organic plain kefir a day and feel it has amazing benefits for weight loss. Hope this helps.
Hey Gordan! First: by surviving a 30' fall, you are one of the luckiest people alive, so congratulations! Second: regarding the cost of meat. If you're in the US, look at pork steaks and chicken thighs. They are delicious and fatty, and in my experience are among the most affordable per pound. Cheers!
@@pugsymalone6539 six months before my fall I received a liver transplant to save my life. So keto has kept me alive. Thanks for the helpful tips.

What a genius. I love how thoroughly he explains things.
Thanks to Dr. Ekberg for delivering this information in a logical and clear manner … extremely useful and appreciated.
Who else watches cooking receipes while fasting? As a muslim in non-muslim country sitting next to non-fasting schoolmates in school was the best training for strength of will and I am grateful for it.
What about mild fasting on squeezed lemons and water mixture, and alternate with 8oz. water to one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and mild walks as a body cleanser? It sure helped my kidney stone problem.
In May this year I started a not so strict regime of low carbs and no sugar (not evident sugar) and combined with an intermitent fasting 16/8 I have lost 10 kg. Also I walk 1 hour daily 5 days per week. The reason I changed mi food habits was a slight pain in the liver (I think is the gallbladder). Now I don't have that pain and I feel great.
Four days into my second fast, aiming for seven days, so this is incredibly helpful, cheers Sten.
make sure to come out of it eating small amounts of non carbs over several days otherwise can end up in hospital
Four days is very impressive. Personally I can only do 40 hours before feeling completely depleted.
I only do 25 hours. I salute you thats 4 days . What did you drink?
This is my 4th day can you please tell me how long it took you to see results.... i want loose 15 pounds .... thanx a lot for answering.....
I’m actually on my fourth day 99 hrs in water only trying to get my BMI lowered.
I do have 2 cups of coffee I make myself. Usual ingredients: tsp black peppercorns + 1-3 cloves + tsp turmeric + mild coffee beans + 4-5 cinnamon sticks.
It does taste very lightly sweet(cinnamon). Done for years. May add a pinch of cayenne.
Q: Would that break my fasting. Usually have 2 cups before noon.
Thank you Dr Ekberg.
Been watching for a few years now. Getting on fasting journey - about time 😊
This is the most helpful thing I have ever found, I need reason's based on facts and what we know. Not just a dude saying do this it worked for me. I eat these videos up keep them coming!!!
Thanks again Dr Ekberg I am down 14 pounds and I am feeling great. I follow your directions and things seem so effortless now. I enjoy preparing my food and save money at the supermarket. I walk 4-5 miles almost everyday and practice deep breathing for distressing. I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you Dr Ekberg! Your info is very helpful! I do water fasts every few months, have done 10 days, 5 days and 3 days, and 1 day! It’s not as hard as some say!

I find that when I’m feeling tired, if I get up and move around, I get more energy!

@@muskokalad9567yes, I’ve reached a Plato too. What I do is, (and it seems to be working) is every now and then I eat carbohydrates so my body doesn’t get used to not having it - and this seems “reset” the fasting again. Good luck!
Ahh, here in Finland tap water is cleaner than bottled water! What a luxury!

You should go watch a documentary on water. Why it doesn't matter how clean the water is. Water has memory, it is how the water is moved and shaped that is the most important how it affects your health.

I continue to learn so much from Dr. Ekberg. His visual aids, charts, key words displayed on the screen (like cephalic response in this one) truly show his desire to teach others how to build a healthy life worth living. Thank you!
Such informative, accurate and interesting actual facts. Truly appreciate your effort and time you put in to produce these amazing contents. 🙏💪
Clear, concise and to the point. Loved the delivery. Thank you very much😀
Well... you answered all my drinking questions in this video. I watched it three times in a row to make sure I understood. I had a tough time understanding how a diet drink with no calories and no sugar could be bad, but thanks to this excellent presentation, I get it now. Good Job!
*I Eat a whoLe 12oz. Container of Sour Cream!!!!*
*So, How is That for My HeaLth????*
the chemicals in artificial sweeteners can also raise your blood sugar. it's mostly chemicals, that can't be good for you.

@johnwiggill17, The doctor's advice is good to grow a good healthy hair.
@@joyhanson8654water is a chemical.

Thank You Javk Thong. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Thank you Dr your program is my favorite. I am 69. When I started I was 50+ I started intermittent fasting 1 year ago and lost about 20 lbs. I am much better health. Thank you for honesty. You accept when you are not sure. Appreciate that. Have a great day.
when you fast long enough, plain water will taste sweet!
DarkPa1adin true
right 🤣
I love water!
When you fast long enough, air burgers will taste sweet.
True... I wasnt Sure its because of keto or fasting but IT seems because of IF 🤣 water tastes little sweet to me aswell
Love the new technology. Very easy to read-clear and concise.
Eileen Broussard I agree ☝️
Wow...i am on a prolonged fast, but i have Been drinking coconut water during work, which helps me a lot with energy. Now that i know its not Good, i will try to substitute with black tea with cashew milk. Thank you Dr.
The new board is easier for my eyes to read 😊 I like it much better than white board.
Cucumber Water helps me on my days when I'm fasting.
For me, lemon. 1:9 ratio of squeezed juice to spring water. Also, distilled water, 6 oz every hour to help remove various excesses in the body. But only for the fast - do not regular use it! I had high potassium my doctor was alarmed at. Did a fast with the distilled water and amazed him with the result.
@@Da_cat12 hi, if i slow-juice a lemon, skin and all, then use that juice to make a 1:9 with mineral water. Would that be o.k for a proper fast? How many liters should I drink 24 hours? thanks
Cucumber!
Yum!
hello what is cucumber water please, I am new to all this, do you put sliced cucumber in a jug or do you blind ?
Bone broth is great to take at the end of the fast.
...and Pizza.
And 500gr of Carbonara, Roman style of course.
Wow! The last minute on this information is crucial for me; watch till the end! Thank You Sten Ekberg.
I was actually hoping you would also talk about Kefir (both the milk variety and the water variety) or Kombucha. Could you please elaborate on those as well? How healthy are they really? And are they okay for any of the points you talked about in this video?
And take it with acacia and you have the perfect pair of pro and prebiotic.
Exactly. Kombucha?
Yes -- my question too! I make continuous brew kombucha and drink it with nothing else (no fruit) added. Is this okay during fasting period, or should I wait for an eating period? Or, would it be good to break the fast with it and therefore add some probiotics and vinegar/acid to stomach before eating other food?
@@sarawormewoole9284 personal opinion, but I think drinking it right before eating would be the best call. It still has some trace sugar (still fine for keto, for most people) but enough to break a fast I'd imagine.
I love that you broke down the objectives columns. Would an inflammation column make sense, or would that be the same as keto or autophagy? Thanks for your great information!
Thanks so much for this. Just wondering, where does lemon water with a teaspoon of honey fall on this chart?
I'm a 63-year-old vegan and I have been doing 16:8 for over a month although I started at 14:10 and I feel like I have a ton more energy and I already had a lot of energy to begin with and my brain feels clear! Even as a vegan, I had sugar addiction problems, and they have gone away without any effort from me, also including a desire for potato chips and things like that
My brain (and habits) are the problem! I had to watch this a second time to fully understand this simple message. So far this week 16 hours between two healthier meals with only coffee with cream in the morning. I'm not going to think about the next step for awhile to find out how this goes.
Thank you Rick Larson. Good for you. That's the way to avoid getting overwhelmed. One step at a time and worry about the rest later. 😄
@@drekberg Is the Cream like Heavy Cream or will Half and Half suffice?
Lots ppl from other countries even took some of your material to share in TH-cam in their language. You made other got their income during pandemic. Your sharing made me healthier, lose weight hopefully my blood test next month will look better. You made way so much better impact on others life. Thank you. God bless you.
How did your blood test come out?
@@jssanch24 sugar 4.9 ( range max 5.3), Cholestrol down 0.3 still over limit , need to lower another 0.5.
I’m not discipline after lose 6 kg in less than 3 mths that’s why I didn’t reach target. Stay healthy and happy. Thank you for asking.
@@dewiwidjaja5218 good job! Keep going!
@@jssanch24 thank you
I fast 5 days per week, one meal per day Mon to Fri, one pop & one coffee per day, drink 4+ L of water per day, on the weekends I eat what I want when I want but because my stomach has shrunk so much I can't eat very much.
Since I've started fasting (3months; breakfast and dinner, the last 2 weeks only one meal per day) I went from 240lbs to 211lbs.
These last 2 weeks I've found that I didn't miss the breakfast, and I wasn't any hungrier when I did finally eat dinner....Isn't that strange!?
P.S. I've never enjoyed eating a fine home cooked meal as much as I have these last 3 months.
Your stomach hasn't shrunk, you've just lost appetite because your body doesn't need food again, provided you have fat stored
Is that healthy really? I doubt
How long is your Fasting period if you are eating breakfast AND dinner?
Valeu!
Great info, I'm amazed at the number of experts out there saying cream will break a fast, I use a couple of tablespoons in my coffee and it barely moves my blood glucose.
Thanks for the autophagy & drinks info. I fast to avoid return of brain cancer & it’s easier to skip bone broth than it is to go through recurrence
You had cancer? Fasting prevents it from returning?
Love your videos also it puts a smile on my face when you say “ hello health champions” 😊👍
Thanks for clarifying how much almond milk! I was getting pretty frustrated with everyone saying it was kind of okay with fasting, but I had no idea whether that meant one tablespoon a day or two cups a day. I measure 1/3 a cup here and there but I'm not even close to using six of those. Thanks.
Hi Ann - do you drink almond milk because you are lactose intolerant? Thanks
Thank you, Dr Sven!! Much appreciated in both information and style. I’m an ER physician and osteopath. Keto has helped a bunch. Intermittent fasting is my current new thing. Your clarity is helping both me and my patients.
Ps I mean Dr Sten
I would suggest buying some grounding shoes or a grounding kit for your shoes. Look into it. May be highly beneficial for you as well. Hospitals are overloaded with toxic Wi-Fi signals. It’s affecting you whether you know it or not
@@squadabingo7290 I work in a hospital intensive care unit and I experience headaches, tension, aches and pains within an hour of starting my shift. Sometimes I think it is because of the stressful environment. Are you saying that all the wifi, monitors, alarms (audible and visual) could be affecting me long term?
@@ritamekhedjian3372
Yes and don't forget the ubiquitous florescent lights! Horrible just on their own. Good luck!
@@squadabingo7290 grounding kit? Any particular inexpensive brand? Tia.
Simply love how thoroughly all of my questions are answered. Even when I didn't know I had a question and while I am listening to new information the questions are answered as soon as they are thought of. Amazing work! Greatly appreciate you.
This happens sooo many times... almost as if besides most excellent straight forward, detailed, ultra clear explanations, there is some mibd reading going on.
If you notice, this doctor shows yo< what videos of his you have watched in past and currently. BRAVO! Wonderful feature which allows continuity of learning of all the related information being touched on and the being given for additional research You cannot help but be grateful for the degree of foresight and effort goes into thist great teacher and healer.
Please, could you please do a series on the possable need to know when/how/why to do toxic binders/an eliminatiors?
Thanks for this! You put a lot of work into producing these videos and it is much appreciated!!!
How come is intermittent fasting viewed by so many people as being such a dangerous thing when in fact, the opposite is the case? Do other people WANT us to get diabetis, cancer, arthritis, blood pressure, a disrupted sleep management and dementia?
And WHY do I come to such a conclusion?
After viewing videos like this one, I couldn't help noticing that foods and drinks primarily containing carbohydrates and sugars seem to increase insulin and cortisol levels, which are said to be bad for your health. I am quite grateful for the way doctor Ekberg explainednutritional aspects of what and how we can eat to promote body health, but I also used to watch videos from doctor Fuhrmann, which inspired me originally encouraged me to curb down on body fat. I once weighed beyond 100 kilograms, but I began to feel uneasy about weighing so much when I realized how negative I felt vulnerable due to coming to know which diseases could befall me if I stayed onthis path.
It wasn't always easy, but I manged to reduce my wight to around 70 kgs, which I feel content with - also because my physician told me my blood samples were on the healthy side after being analysed.
Day 4 of a 7 day fast and yesterday I had coke zero... I had terrible sleep and woke up with typical symptoms of low blood sugar, feeling week, like I was gonna pass out.. then I found this video and understand what happened. Thank you, Dr.!
dont drink coke zero !!! it contains articifal sweeteners and those sweeteners kills your good bacteria that you need in the guts and stomach. ! big warning my friend! but keep going with the fasting thats agood thing !
Just watching your videos I am fixing my health. Thank you so much for this great information Dr Ekberg.
Thank you victor Batista. 😄
3rd weeks in and I've already lost 7.5 kg. The key is not only intermittent fasting but also calorie deficit at the same time.
Who would of ever thought eating less worked 🤷🏼♂️🤣
Agreed. My main reason for intermittent fasting is to reduce calories without having to count them. Since I was a night eater this is an easy way to do it, and if it has other benefits all the better.
Doc can you do a focus on how fasting boost the immune system? Thankyou for all your videos I learned so much and shared with many friends and family so we all can change.
Water (with Himalayan pink salt added) and herb tea are my favorite beverages to drink. I am so glad they are at the top of the healthy/fast friendly beverages.
What about ppl who have high blood? Like me ?
I listened to 100’s of videos yours are the best so far: you’ve earned a subscription
Have been doing this for a week ,cannot wait to fast everyday and give body a chance to recover from decades of "abuse". Bread,sugar packaged foods.
I am on 18/6 and I never thought I would be sucking on a squeezed lemon to get all the pulp and goodness out.
Sour cream, plain yogurt,apple cider vinegar sardines,salmon,vegetables.....Now I have to find a good Keto bread recipe
Not sure about a recipe, but SOLA bread brand is the fabulous in taste, texture, etc. Usually found in the freezer section in most grocery stores. Found on the bread aisle at Walmart.
Dr Berg Keto waffles 🧇 Great!You do not need any bread!
What about instant soup? There are carbs in it and the amount depends on brand and flavor. My goal: losing 30-35 kilos of unwanted belly fat.
Actually, all goals 1 to 4 apply. I hope keto diet will also alleviate brain fog.
I like this black board, it's very friendly for the eyes, Dr. Ekberg I really wish if you would continue your upcoming uploads with this great mode, pls.?
Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos!
Love Listening to you .l am a medical doctor but i really appreciate your patience , gentleness and information . You have a wonderful way of explaining .
I Love that you comment on every possible aspect or question on the subject
"You don't want to add tap water" this is applicable in USA and many other countries where the water tastes like chloride. In Sweden, Holland and some other countries the tap water in most cases better than bottled water.
Do you have a source on this? Or is it just your claim?
@@Bjorn374 My claim on the Swedish and Dutch water is based on own experience. I saw a TH-cam clip where they compared bottled waters with each other, but haven't saved the link.
I live in Holland. The water here is not as good as you should think. That has to do with the toxins (many rivers in Holland end in Holland, and there are a lot of companies who dump their toxins in the rivers), which are very costly to filter out by the water companies.
bottled water is often just tap water. And tap water has to meet higher standards than bottled. That being said, we all know certain areas of the country are suffering from pollution affecting the water. I live in an old building, with old pipes. I don't like to think about drinking the water that runs through those pipes. I use a filter for my coffee and cooking water and buy filtered water at the store for drinking.
@@geriroush8004 This might be an issue in the US or UK, not in Sweden.
