@@robertcuratolo5339 then why is he promoting eating raw bell peppers which have leptins? And why did he rank collard greens so low? Romaine lettuce belongs in the group somewhere, it has omega -3's.
Thank You Bullseye Bear for taking the time to summarize. I know you are trying to be helpful and I appreciate that, but please consider the following. Anybody can take a few seconds to do a Google search and find hundreds of lists on the topic, but why should they trust any particular one of them? Why should you trust mine? Knowledge is powerful, but random bits of data is not knowledge. The list itself without context is worthless. Understanding WHY the items are on the list is empowering. People today are busier than ever, and we love to take shortcuts, but health is not a topic where we want to take shortcuts. We only have one body so we need to understand a little bit about how it works and how our lifestyle is affecting our health. Our food and our environment has changed more in the last 50 years than in the last 50,000. That is why we need to understand how that impacts our health, and that takes just a little bit more than an itemized list. You only get as much out of something as you invest in it. When you immerse yourself in something, you grow. When you are fully present and focused while watching, when you process the information, when you analyze, contemplate and incorporate it, you become more. That is empowerment. When you skim, speed watch and look for bullet points, you may catch some tidbits and some sound bites here and there, but your understanding doesn't fundamentally change. You're still the same person. In a hurry, with a shallow understanding, trying to get to the next thing. I urge you to read some of the comments that speak about how the content on this channel has changed their lives. How medical doctors comment on my videos and say they learned more about health in 20-30 minutes than they did in all the years of medical school. When you take the time and give it the focus it deserves, your life can be transformed. You're worth it.
@@drekberg Absolutely! I don’t disagree at all, however, this wasn’t done to undermine anything, but rather to be helpful (to those viewers who want an option) for several reasons, most notably those who are at first sight unable to devote a half an hour or 20 minutes to these extensive videos at first site of your post. As I’m sure you’re aware, there are thousands and thousands of videos that have similar content that shouldn’t be held in as high a regard as your videos. This fact makes it sometimes very difficult to track and keep up with so numerous a library of content. Perhaps, as is my intention, your viewers would get a wonderful (and free) synopsis of what you are covering to stimulate them either returning to view your video in it’s entirety later, or whenever they are able to do so. I don’t think that limiting, manipulating, or somehow withholding this wonderful information is your true intent. Based on your time, efforts, and care of the information and research that you share, it seems that you would agree that guiding people to that information and encouraging them in multiple ways to digest, understand, and apply it is really the point to all of the work you’re doing. I, for one, appreciate you and your channel, but please don’t misrepresent or assume to know my reason or intent in my very small contribution to your channel that is actually a tremendous benefit to all who visit.
I love cabbage! I literally use cabbage almost daily. Last night I used it as noodles in my casserole. Put down your choice of meat & cheese, slices of cabbage on top of that, some seasonings, garlic, butter and cream. stick it in the oven to bake. Mix it up, top it with some cheese and bacon with a large side salad. I also added some roasted cauliflower and brussel sprouts on the side. Yum 😋 I've been doing keto and intermittent fasting for two and a half years and I have lost 195 lb and I've never been healthier. And a lot of it I owe to you. Thank you!
Your levelheaded approach to nutrition is why I am a subscriber and why I keep returning to your channel! While many other doctors on YT provide us with information, most of it is a decoy to sell us their books or whatever else they are promoting for profit. They are mostly commercials in disguise. You, on the other hand, go into such great detail and depth that it makes learning what's best very easy to understand. I'm less confused because of your ability to simplify so much research and data into bite-size chunks that are easily digestible. Plus, I have to say that your 'bed-side-manner' explaining things is well appreciated! Bravo to you and your wonderful approach to proper nutrition!
When I find myself going back to my old patterns I just watch your videos and get so inspired all over again. You are amazing, and I truly appreciate all you do.
Hard to think how Sten could do this any better. It is so professional! I'm following his advices but I'm also inspired by his videos. Great service for us
I am into changing my eating habits due to the fact that I am a full blown diabetic and have liver failure. In my youth I suffered problems with obesity and could not control and maintain my weight. I have recently became a vegetarian no longer eating any forms of meat. I exercise everyday but still have problems maintaining the weight. The most I have ever weighed is 250 lbs. I am now at 145 lbs.🍌🍐🍅🍵🍶🥑🥕🌰🍑🍄🥦🍎🍇
Sounds as though you're getting onto the right track but I would say consider eating meat in limited amount (1meal) and be careful with veggies due to sugar amount.
Hi Dr, as a farmer in South Africa, (southern hemisphere, winter rainfall) i disagree with the inclusion of brassicas in the Clean Fifteen, Cabbage and cauliflower in particular attract so many pests that are resistant to organic pesticides you have no choice but to nuke them with chemicals if you want to save your crop. We've discontinued production of these brassicas to avoid using the dangerous pesticides. Spinnach, cellery and potatoes need 0 pesticides in our experience. Maybe its a regional practice? Mushrooms may also not require pesticides, but they are known to absorb any heavy metals from the substrate, even radioactive ones! So make sure the producer is reputable... Thanks for the great vids, learnt alot from them!
Hi, I am a diabetic living living on the Caribbean Island of Roseau Dominica, I grow what I eat basically, and i watch some of the videos for diabetics, and most of them get me confuse. I realize that many of them are for American's and the way they eat. and we in the Caribbean are messing up our diet base on what we see on TH-cam. So far your video is the best I have watched so far. Thank you and I will continue to watch your videos
Good to know that I've been eating the right food.. I usually stir fry white mushrooms with red bell pepper, onions, and garlic - along with pan-seared salmon and white or brown rice.. Sometimes I stir fry cabbage with mushrooms and shredded chicken breast too.. Thanks for the video Doc.
After watching thousands of health videos, I really believe that you are the best one on TH-cam. Amazing way of explaining things and, although we’re all always learning new things, you never contradict what you previously presented
Good evening Dr. Sten, thank you so much for the guidance & tips, I started my intermittent fasting in January 2022 I was weighing 72kgs🙈🙊following your advice today iam 62kgs💃🎉 10kgs off! But in the bigining of this journey in when I got to 68kgs I stayed there for two weeks & continued with my routine, & it was a fun game for me as each week the number went down down down🤭 I eat once a day no snacks in between I don't like carbs or sugar I don't eat them at all plus I don't drink fizzy drinks not even pre-bottled juices, so👍 to all out there who want to lose weight & be healthy, stick to a routine & be disciplined & listen to Dr. Stens advice you will achieve your goal🤗 regards Nancy K.
I like to fill up "romaine boats" with all kinds of veggie/mushroom and chicken stuff. So good. For dinner: I add avacado to my organic blueberry, cherry, lemon, tumeric smoothie. It makes it creamy. I love purple cabbage in stir frys. Mushrooms are my favorite in a stir fry with chicken and tons of veggies. So many things you can do. I really like the large, baby brocolli (dont know what its called) and I just started squeezing fresh lime on my stir fry right before eating. It has changed my life.
I listen to every word the doctor says in this video and still love the time stamp even though I followed and wrote things down. Sometimes I’m not able to write that fast, so I appreciate when someone takes the time to timestamp personally. Thank you to Doctor and commenters.
As someone who is into health and fitness, I truly appreciate all the information you take the time to share with us ! Your explanations are always very informative !! Thank you so much 🙏🙏
I do agree but can you explain what’s bell pepper? I’ve been eating most of all the vegetables mentioned but wondered if bell pepper is ..sweet pepper as it commonly called in Ja
Thank you for the non organic Avocado tip! The organics are double and yes, I have been shying away from them. Not any more! Your list is exactly what I have been eating over the past 3 months so I'm glad to see I am understanding health a lot better!
Most of the veggies you talk about are pretty easy to grow just about anywhere on the planet (inside and outside) on a balcony, in the back yard, under grow lights, etc. Veggies like spinach leaves and just about any other leaf veggie are really easy to grow indoors. Grow your own is the best and healthiest option.
I found this recipe online and we love it! No Mayo Coleslaw Ingredients * 1 green cabbage * 1 large red apple julienned or thin sliced (I used Granny Smith ) * 1/2 or 1/4 red red onion thinly sliced (the amount depends on the size of your cabbage) * 3 tbsp coarsely chopped mint * 2 tbsp lemon juice * 2 tbsp olive oil * 2 tsp apple cider vinegar * 1-2 tsp white wine vinegar * salt to taste Steps Combine all ingredients and enjoy
Speaking of a bunless burger, something I have recently (last few years) learned is that you can use a portabella mushroom cap in place of the bun. I have used it to make a tuna bunwich too. Works and tastes great!
I finally heard what is going to change my life. I have been so stubborn about carbs because no one ever said "carb intolerance". And when you said that, the final key slid in the lock and you opened my eyes about the reality of carbs. You have changed my life. From now on, realising I have an intolerance for carbs, will take the hardship of whether to keep carbs in my diet, out. I am so very grateful to you. Now I can adjust the final obstacle to me becoming the being I need to be to be worthy of being an elder in the future.
Lots of extra good information besides the list he is offering here. I love the way he described “conventional” vs. “organic”. I couldn’t agree more Dr. Ekberg…..conventional equals poison and not the way we’ve produced them for very long. Good video Dr. Thank you.
I’m so thankful for Dr. Sten Ekberg’s great advice! I lost 30 lbs in 5 months, and for the first time, it was effortless!! Low carb, high fat, and lots of veggies.
I just made a cabbage stir fry yesterday with onion and garlic (bacon too). That's 3 of the Top 10 in one dish. It's REALLY tasty & quick to make and will be added to my repertoire. The fact that it's healthy is just an added bonus. There's some really tasty recipes on TH-cam.
I grew up on the Lebanese salad tabbouli. It's delicious,nutritious and easy to make. Must use extra virgin olive oil,and freshly squeezed lemon juice with sea salt. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! You are correct Dr.Ekberg! Foods do not cure diseases but, they may prevent them from occuring. I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Stay healthy!
I babysat for a Lebanese family and that’s how I was introduced to Tabouleh. I literally whimper with joy when I get my hands on it. Will have to make it from scratch now. 😋
I love tabouli and would make a large bowl just for me to enjoy. In fact for about one whole week that's all I ate. I was very surprised at the huge increase in my blood sugars until you mentioned the amount of carbs in parsley. I still love this salad but will enjoy a much smaller helping in the future
Dr Ekberg, could you please talk about lectins and nightshades. It's an area of confusion for me, and currently I keep away from tomatoes, bell peppers and egg plants. I'm an enthusiastic follower of your lifestyle recommendations and need help in understanding lectins and nightshades. Thanks.
A large number of the plant foods you say we should eat are cruciferous, high in oxylates and nightshades. Brussel sprouts contain 136 oxylates. They might work for many but not so for those of us with autoimmune. Thank you for the information including those of us who are sensitive to carbohydrates.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg for another rich and life-changing video. I could listen to you all day and still want to hear you talk. The tone of your voice is just perfect with the powerful information you pass across. I have changed alot in my nutrition thanks to your videos. Continue to share your knowledge and Bless our World with your messages on Health and Nutrition ...
Hey Sten, I recently have decided to try keto and was looking at suitable veggies to have that were low carb. This video is timely and well explained. I have lost much weight over 6 years and now focusing on getting rid of the remainder of belly fat. I attempted keto once and I stopped as I could not handle the dairy and it really affected me. This time around I'm only trying ghee and it seems to be a lot more gentle on my system. It would be good for you to make a video on healthy bowel habits and improving these and, what are some of the causes as to why people may have issues going to the toilet. Thank you for your content.
Love the bunless burger idea. I used to eat my patties with cooked veg. Thank you Dr Ekberg for all this amazing videos I just started watching this week. I know you are a God send. I started watching because my Mom and Dad both died from Alzheimer's. Now I am hooked. I forwarded a video to a friend on the thyroid and she said she loved the simple way it was represented since it is apparently complicated. It gave her hope. When so much is wrong in your body it can be overwhelming. Thank God for grace that we can start with what we have. He will provide the rest. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. My friend is also inspired to watch more of your videos and I am so thankful for that. God Bless.
, I try to keep as close as I can to Keto ,, onions are not Keto , carrots are not either but i am having them both with my stake today,along with cauliflower. No potatoes though. 👍💖🇬🇧 love this Doctor.
Thank you doc. Sten Ekberg! All of that healthiest food you taught are very favorites of mine, my family! I love this teaching! I am one of your subscriber! God bless you!. ❤️☺️👍
Thank you Dr Ekberg. That video was very insightful as always.. you didn't mention cucumbers which is one of my favorite vegetables. Didn't it make your list?
I make my own greek salad at home with tomatos and cucumber chunks, green/red bell peppers with feta cheese in a greek vinegrette (olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, pepper, salt). It’s very filling and refreshing.
I love that Dr Sten lists the top 15 'Clean' vege as an alternative to buying organics which is beyond my budget. Thanks! Can you please do one on food for those on FODMAP diet plan?
You are absolutely right about the cauliflower pizza crusts popping up everywhere. I've looked over the ingredients list on many brands and sadly a lot of them have way too many carbs. Marketing sure has a way of luring people into buying a supposedly "healthy" product, especially people with metabolic diseases who are looking to better their health.
@@Nicksonian I've not tried to make any yet. People have had various degrees of success making it from what I see. Many complain of too much moisture/ soggy crust. I would love to give it a try, but would make sure I use paper towels or a good cotton cloth to really dry out the cauliflower. Then again, I need to find a really good recipe!
@@clairehachey2189 drying out the cauliflower is pretty important. It's insane how much moisture it holds. I've tried making it a few times and enjoyed it, although I never managed to make it hold together when taking it off the baking sheet. Tastes nothing like pizza dough, as George said, but I would never have expected it to. Personally, I think it's a lot of effort for something nice but not amazing, but definitely worth trying to make at least once.
@@juryrigging Thank you for your input 😊 I've never tried store bought ones either so I have absolutely no clue as to how they taste! But I'm curious 🤗 I've actually used pan fried eggplant slices and topped those off with either pizza or spaghetti sauce and some cheese in lieu of pizza crust!
Just want to say thanks to Dr Ekberg I didn't know why I was sick until I started watching these videos. I'm only 40 but I was suffering with gout, arthritis, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. It took me a while to figure out that it was grains/pasta/carbohydrates in general that was making me ill. I had a massive appitite due to lifting heavy weights and strength training, and I was always told to eat 6 times a day. Well that was terrible, I'm now eating twice a day, mainly protein and fat and all my ailments have gone away. I can't believe how quick it was either. So again Thanks
@John Rambo I'm so glad to read your comment! It's awesome how much improvement in our health we can see by giving up those "villain food" and start eating real food. It seems like it was yesterday that nutritionists and doctors were advising us to eat every 3 hours right! How crazy was that? I'm happy we now can have access to people who really know what they are talking about like Dr. Ekberg. Glad to hear you are doing a lot better than before.
@@rakeomartinMe Thanks 👍 People I know still don't believe me that it was simply eating carbs that was making me ill. Intermittent fasting and eating meat/fat + a few carefully chosen vegetables could save more lives than the entire drug / pharmaceutical industry ever has.
Thank you Doc, great video and I am going to start including some of these back into my health lifestyle eating. I do currently eat plenty of sauerkraut.
Love this video, the best I have ever come across on the food selections for better health and the wallet and WHY. Your presentation is so well organized, easy to follow. One question I have is, where does cucumber stand, if it's clean or dirty? I ask this because it's one of my favorites. Thanks Dr. Sten.
Cucumber just barely missed being on the Dirty Dozen list -- it is actually ranked #13, which suggests buying organic or peeling them is best for our health.
Doc, I had asked, in the comments of one of your vids, What about honey as a sweetener. I have since seen a video by you about sweeteners and found it fascinating and informative and it answered my question. I was wondering about peppers and this video partially addressed that, but you only mentioned bell peppers, not other peppers such as Chiles, jalapenos, etc. I have heard for years that they are wholesome foods and would like your take on them, as well as other foods that add some "heat," such as horseradish and wasabi. Thank you for doing these videos. I have recently made changes to my diet and you are helping me to amend it further.
Just letting you know I listen to you periodically and what you have to say is something that I know about but it’s hard for me to explain to other people I’m helping. I love to be a natural path but at this point in my life knowing information is most important. So anyways, I set you’re video up on the TV and I make people watch it.
Thank You harmonicatdanny. Glad to hear it. I have made it my life's mission and purpose to help people understand health and I do think I have a certain gift for it. (Studying for 20 years with that intention helps too.) Thanks for helping spread the message. 😄
Good for you! His stuff is always top notch and well presented. I have shared some of his videos with a lot of people, and am trying to get the wife’s fat cousins to switch to keto. I have even challenged them to a weight loss contest.
Great lecture Dr.! I live ne some Brussels sprouts. We air fry them, put a little bacon grease on them, and boy are they good! I could eat them like I used to eat potato chips.
10. Garlic, 9. Onions, 8. Brussels Sprouts, 7. Tomatoes, 6. Cabbage, 5. Bellpepper, 4. Cauliflower, 3. Broccoli, 2. Lettuce, 1. Avocado. THANK YOU！I have been eating bellpepper, tomatoes, and lettuce, mostly raw, and I like all the others listed and a lot of others unlisted.
Thks for these reminders. I use lots of garlic n avocado. Sometime I put in chopped garlic at the end of cooking so that more of nutrition remains in it. I subscribed. Ahna usa
I'm doing my best to help my elderly parents modify their eating to low carb...my Mum is gradually fitting into her old clothes! It is a struggle to break the bread/potatoes habit etc for them but I keep on reminding them of the science behind the rationale and showing them new recipes. Bravo Dr Sten!.
@@KK-ri2gu stop eating sugar and carbs. Eat all your food within a 4 hour period everyday. Only eat lettuce and broccoli, meat and fish and eggs, berries and nuts and avocado. Follow what Dr. Sten says
Not sure if anybody has mentioned this in the comments yet. Mince or crush your garlic and onions, let them rest for 15 minutes before cooking or consumption. These actions break the cell walls combining alliin with the enzyme alliinase, which creates allicin and other beneficial compounds. 🌱
Thank you Dr Ekberg for such detailed explanations. I have 2 question though. Lectin and Nightshade. Both are said to be bad for Psoriasis. Any help about Psoriasis would be super helpful. Thank you in advance!
Same here. My dermatologist says anything to eat like meat is an inflammatory to the body. The Mediterranean diet is best. Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease
Thank you so very much for a wonderful breakdown of my favorite veggies. It's a great share for those wanting to learn why eat certain veggies. Much gratitude.
Great information ! So glad you point out the biochemical metabolic basis for the benefits of these foods. I always want to know WHY something works, and this channel makes that a priority.
I love watching your videos and you improved your presentation a lot. Thank you so much for your informative health lessons! More power Doc!! 🙏🙏❤❤❤watching from Philippines
Hello Dr. Sten, thank you for sharing these life changing detailed videos to promote wellness. I was wondering if could do a video about "teas" and what criteria to look (toxicity, antioxidants/etc..) I was wondering why teas were not mentioned on a video being affordable with low calories and said to have many healthy benefits.
Thank you • Salt Rock. I really appreciate your feedback and I love the term Health IQ. 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. 😄
Agreed & he is helping me to eat healthy & lose weight. 31 lbs. so far, 159 to go (yes, I allowed myself to become morbidly obese). I used to eat so much garbage and these videos have helped me immensely.
Thank you chad. 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. I don't mind when people summarize the top 10 list, like two people did already in the first hour, but if people just look at the list instead of watching the whole video, they are totally missing the point. If you don't understand WHY the items are on the list, what makes this list different from any random list. We have become a culture of quick fixes, short attention spans and shallow understanding. People like you are the core audience for whom I really make my videos. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg I honestly find very helpful when people summarize it. I take a print and go straight back to watching the video without thinking to myself: Oh no!!! I will have to write everything down. I'm sure lots of people come to the comments before they watch the video, just to check if anyone took the time to write the list. That way we can pay all our attention to what you are teaching. Thanks a lot for giving us your time, your patience and also thanks for sharing so much knowledge!!!! I've never found anyone who explains everything super well as you, Dr. Ekberg, do. Thanks for being such a kind human being.
Great information about healthy vegetables. My favorite is Avocado which i ate everyday and comes cheap and abundant here in Davao City, Philippines. Technically avocado is a fruit, not a veggie. It contain healthy unsaturated fats which lowers undesirable LDL cholesterol. Every other week i picked the fruit situated in our farm.
I was wondering what you thought about Squash. I was happy to see you include zucchini, and you have so many videos I'm not sure if any others have anything regarding Squash. Does Spaghetti Squash compare similarly to zucchini? I know butternut is pretty high in carbs, wasn't sure if that's a concern with Spaghetti Squash too. Either way, great video and great content generally.
Thank you Dr Stern, I am a big fan and this video is enlightening for me, as I eat smashed avocado and broccoli as a dip withe lettuce leaves as a kind of tacos. I season the dip with garlic, anion and tomatoes similar to guacamole and is just delicious. All these are on your list, so YAY :) I'm in my first 8months of fasting getting to OMAD thanks to you, the benefits are countless so thank you again, keep up the great work!
I am strictly in a keto diet since 03/15/2023; today is 05/29/2023; i have not seen much lost weight difference as today; however, i have noticed my belly is downsizing; my chin is not bulky as was before i started the keto diet; and also, as soon as i go to bed, i fall asleep as a baby :D ALSO, i have added intermittent fasting, i have been eating once a day for the last week (salmon w asparagus, celery cooked in the Oven Air Fryer); then i continue fasting until the next day at 3:30 or 4pm. I have a gallon of NON sugary homemade lemonade, a gallon of cinnamon/anise/cloves homemade tea in the fridge; hot chamomile tea, hot broth with lemon, water, coffee. I also have hard boiled eggs in the fridge handy in case i get hunger prangs. I am decently handling it very well, because i am taking it as personal project, as fun. Overall i am feeling great.
Its vwry common in my place when someone is pregnant they carry with them garlic to protect from vampires. Houses hanged garlic in thier doors for protection against vampires. 🤭
So helpful as always... We are just writing it all down for super heath, kicked sugar over a year ago and never looked back thanks to you sharing your years of knowledge 👍
I really enjoy listening and watching to your videos, so informative and very well explained. Excellent English, your pronunciation is so easy to understand.
Outer Aisle tortillas & pizza sized tortilla are the exception to the "made with Cauliflower" lies My Whole Foods grocery carries this brand. our service to the world with these videos Dr. Ekberg! (maybe not one of your favorites but Kale is definitely needed to add to this list
Hej Sten! Found an article about the Clean 15 and the Dirty dozen in a newspaper 15 years ago and the small article has been on my fridge since then…! I have now added your lists there too! They are my guide when I do my grocery list! Tack för allt du berättar!💙
I eat (of these foods): Garlic Onions (Brussels Sprouts, Tomatoes, Bell Pepper and Cabbage far less often) Cauliflower Broccoli Lettuces a bit less often, well, less often than broccoli, cauliflower, onions and garlic. Avocado is something I go back and forth regarding…. Sometimes I eat a fair amount of it, sometimes not so much. I think I get a lot of potassium from egg/poultry/meat, fruits and nuts/seeds…
Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge of health information, it is enlightening and truly rewarding. I must admit that I am still aspiring to get to your level of discipline and commitment with my diet. You are an inspiration and a health savior in this indisposed world!
Thank you very much for another enriching and methodical video. Garlic gives me a stomach ache every time I try to eat a little bit of it. (Worst when fresh, but also when roasted or cooked) (It is interesting that the Hindus forbid eating garlic and onions, I do not know of a medical explanation for this prohibition.) I also have a problem with the nightshades fruits (tomatoes, peppers and eggplants). In retrospect, it turned out to me that they were responsible for leaky gut, as soon as I stopped eating nightshades, most of the symptoms disappeared. So I suggest being careful with the recommendation to eat nightshades.

Question regarding Lectins? Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg for your very helpful and precious videos :) I have a question to your list: Tomatoes an peppers are known to have high quantities of lectins? Same with Zucchini and Egg plants? I thought we should avoid food with high lectins? Thank you for a comment :)

Thank You Bullseye Bear for taking the time to summarize. I know you are trying to be helpful and I appreciate that, but please consider the following.
Anybody can take a few seconds to do a Google search and find hundreds of lists on the topic, but why should they trust any particular one of them? Why should you trust mine? Knowledge is powerful, but random bits of data is not knowledge. The list itself without context is worthless. Understanding WHY the items are on the list is empowering.
People today are busier than ever, and we love to take shortcuts, but health is not a topic where we want to take shortcuts. We only have one body so we need to understand a little bit about how it works and how our lifestyle is affecting our health. Our food and our environment has changed more in the last 50 years than in the last 50,000. That is why we need to understand how that impacts our health, and that takes just a little bit more than an itemized list.
You only get as much out of something as you invest in it. When you immerse yourself in something, you grow. When you are fully present and focused while watching, when you process the information, when you analyze, contemplate and incorporate it, you become more. That is empowerment.
When you skim, speed watch and look for bullet points, you may catch some tidbits and some sound bites here and there, but your understanding doesn't fundamentally change. You're still the same person. In a hurry, with a shallow understanding, trying to get to the next thing.
I urge you to read some of the comments that speak about how the content on this channel has changed their lives. How medical doctors comment on my videos and say they learned more about health in 20-30 minutes than they did in all the years of medical school.
When you take the time and give it the focus it deserves, your life can be transformed. You're worth it.
@@drekberg Absolutely! I don’t disagree at all, however, this wasn’t done to undermine anything, but rather to be helpful (to those viewers who want an option) for several reasons, most notably those who are at first sight unable to devote a half an hour or 20 minutes to these extensive videos at first site of your post. As I’m sure you’re aware, there are thousands and thousands of videos that have similar content that shouldn’t be held in as high a regard as your videos. This fact makes it sometimes very difficult to track and keep up with so numerous a library of content. Perhaps, as is my intention, your viewers would get a wonderful (and free) synopsis of what you are covering to stimulate them either returning to view your video in it’s entirety later, or whenever they are able to do so. I don’t think that limiting, manipulating, or somehow withholding this wonderful information is your true intent. Based on your time, efforts, and care of the information and research that you share, it seems that you would agree that guiding people to that information and encouraging them in multiple ways to digest, understand, and apply it is really the point to all of the work you’re doing. I, for one, appreciate you and your channel, but please don’t misrepresent or assume to know my reason or intent in my very small contribution to your channel that is actually a tremendous benefit to all who visit.
I love cabbage! I literally use cabbage almost daily. Last night I used it as noodles in my casserole. Put down your choice of meat & cheese, slices of cabbage on top of that, some seasonings, garlic, butter and cream. stick it in the oven to bake. Mix it up, top it with some cheese and bacon with a large side salad.
I also added some roasted cauliflower and brussel sprouts on the side. Yum 😋
I've been doing keto and intermittent fasting for two and a half years and I have lost 195 lb and I've never been healthier. And a lot of it I owe to you. Thank you!

Your levelheaded approach to nutrition is why I am a subscriber and why I keep returning to your channel!
While many other doctors on YT provide us with information, most of it is a decoy to sell us their books or whatever else they are promoting for profit. They are mostly commercials in disguise.
You, on the other hand, go into such great detail and depth that it makes learning what's best very easy to understand. I'm less confused because of your ability to simplify so much research and data into bite-size chunks that are easily digestible.
Plus, I have to say that your 'bed-side-manner' explaining things is well appreciated! Bravo to you and your wonderful approach to proper nutrition!

I am into changing my eating habits due to the fact that I am a full blown diabetic and have liver failure. In my youth I suffered problems with obesity and could not control and maintain my weight. I have recently became a vegetarian no longer eating any forms of meat. I exercise everyday but still have problems maintaining the weight. The most I have ever weighed is 250 lbs. I am now at 145 lbs.🍌🍐🍅🍵🍶🥑🥕🌰🍑🍄🥦🍎🍇
👍👍
Sounds as though you're getting onto the right track but I would say consider eating meat in limited amount (1meal) and be careful with veggies due to sugar amount.
Try intermitting fasting. Helped me personally
Hi Dr, as a farmer in South Africa, (southern hemisphere, winter rainfall) i disagree with the inclusion of brassicas in the Clean Fifteen,
Cabbage and cauliflower in particular attract so many pests that are resistant to organic pesticides you have no choice but to nuke them with chemicals if you want to save your crop. We've discontinued production of these brassicas to avoid using the dangerous pesticides. Spinnach, cellery and potatoes need 0 pesticides in our experience. Maybe its a regional practice?
Mushrooms may also not require pesticides, but they are known to absorb any heavy metals from the substrate, even radioactive ones! So make sure the producer is reputable...
Thanks for the great vids, learnt alot from them!
You have totally changed our family’s health journey. Thanks from India
You're welcome. Celebrating Life with Muthu. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Hi, I am a diabetic living living on the Caribbean Island of Roseau Dominica, I grow what I eat basically, and i watch some of the videos for diabetics, and most of them get me confuse. I realize that many of them are for American's and the way they eat. and we in the Caribbean are messing up our diet base on what we see on TH-cam. So far your video is the best I have watched so far. Thank you and I will continue to watch your videos
Good to know that I've been eating the right food.. I usually stir fry white mushrooms with red bell pepper, onions, and garlic - along with pan-seared salmon and white or brown rice.. Sometimes I stir fry cabbage with mushrooms and shredded chicken breast too.. Thanks for the video Doc.
After watching thousands of health videos, I really believe that you are the best one on TH-cam. Amazing way of explaining things and, although we’re all always learning new things, you never contradict what you previously presented
The best!
Good evening Dr. Sten, thank you so much for the guidance & tips, I started my intermittent fasting in January 2022 I was weighing 72kgs🙈🙊following your advice today iam 62kgs💃🎉 10kgs off! But in the bigining of this journey in when I got to 68kgs I stayed there for two weeks & continued with my routine, & it was a fun game for me as each week the number went down down down🤭 I eat once a day no snacks in between I don't like carbs or sugar I don't eat them at all plus I don't drink fizzy drinks not even pre-bottled juices, so👍 to all out there who want to lose weight & be healthy, stick to a routine & be disciplined & listen to Dr. Stens advice you will achieve your goal🤗 regards Nancy K.
Best doctor ever, he explains everything so well, I love it. 👌🏽
I like to fill up "romaine boats" with all kinds of veggie/mushroom and chicken stuff. So good. For dinner: I add avacado to my organic blueberry, cherry, lemon, tumeric smoothie. It makes it creamy. I love purple cabbage in stir frys. Mushrooms are my favorite in a stir fry with chicken and tons of veggies. So many things you can do. I really like the large, baby brocolli (dont know what its called) and I just started squeezing fresh lime on my stir fry right before eating. It has changed my life.
Yeahhhh! SO GLAD to see so much of what I have started for my garden on your lists! And I completely agree with "organic " vs. "Poison " categories.
Thank you. I am on a strict eating plan to get rid of Type II and scared to eat vegetables too much for fear of carbs. This really helps. 😉😊
There are good carbs and bad carbs just as there are good fats and bad fats.
Dr Ekberg, you are the most amazing teacher. Loads of best wishes from India 🇮🇳
I listen to every word the doctor says in this video and still love the time stamp even though I followed and wrote things down. Sometimes I’m not able to write that fast, so I appreciate when someone takes the time to timestamp personally. Thank you to Doctor and commenters.
As someone who is into health and fitness, I truly appreciate all the information you take the time to share with us ! Your explanations are always very informative !! Thank you so much 🙏🙏
I do agree but can you explain what’s bell pepper? I’ve been eating most of all the vegetables mentioned but wondered if bell pepper is ..sweet pepper as it commonly called in Ja
Dumbbell. Muscle work
Is senior need to do work hard
Bell peppers are the same as sweet peppers.
Thank you for the non organic Avocado tip! The organics are double and yes, I have been shying away from them. Not any more! Your list is exactly what I have been eating over the past 3 months so I'm glad to see I am understanding health a lot better!

Most of the veggies you talk about are pretty easy to grow just about anywhere on the planet (inside and outside) on a balcony, in the back yard, under grow lights, etc. Veggies like spinach leaves and just about any other leaf veggie are really easy to grow indoors. Grow your own is the best and healthiest option.
Amen!
I found this recipe online and we love it!
No Mayo Coleslaw
Ingredients
* 1 green cabbage
* 1 large red apple julienned or thin sliced (I used Granny Smith )
* 1/2 or 1/4 red red onion thinly sliced (the amount depends on the size of your cabbage)
* 3 tbsp coarsely chopped mint
* 2 tbsp lemon juice
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
* 1-2 tsp white wine vinegar
* salt to taste
Steps
Combine all ingredients and enjoy
Thank you
Nothing wrong with Mayo...especially when you make it yourself
Speaking of a bunless burger, something I have recently (last few years) learned is that you can use a portabella mushroom cap in place of the bun. I have used it to make a tuna bunwich too. Works and tastes great!
Bell peppers work for bread replacement too
agree...actually portabella mushroom grilled has that meat texture...just delicious 👍✌
@@josh7191-j6b Hmm, . . . RE: "meat texture," maybe I should try that. Thanks.

Hey, try Dr Berg's recipe for pizza made with cauliflower rice. It is BEYOND divine.
I finally heard what is going to change my life. I have been so stubborn about carbs because no one ever said "carb intolerance". And when you said that, the final key slid in the lock and you opened my eyes about the reality of carbs. You have changed my life. From now on, realising I have an intolerance for carbs, will take the hardship of whether to keep carbs in my diet, out. I am so very grateful to you. Now I can adjust the final obstacle to me becoming the being I need to be to be worthy of being an elder in the future.
Hi if I eat a lot of bread which I love , my finger joints and ankles are swollen and painfull
@@christinebeames2311 yes, bread is bad for me as well, even whole grain
Thanks Dr Sten, I’m a huge fan of Avocado and I eat it almost everyday, you are a lifesaver!
You're welcome. Ibrahim Osman. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
@@drekberg hi does raw garlic have thiamine
Lots of extra good information besides the list he is offering here. I love the way he described “conventional” vs. “organic”. I couldn’t agree more Dr. Ekberg…..conventional equals poison and not the way we’ve produced them for very long. Good video Dr. Thank you.
I’m so thankful for Dr. Sten Ekberg’s great advice! I lost 30 lbs in 5 months, and for the first time, it was effortless!! Low carb, high fat, and lots of veggies.
What about protein? Im thin so i eat low carb, high protein and fat, a lots of veggies.
I just made a cabbage stir fry yesterday with onion and garlic (bacon too). That's 3 of the Top 10 in one dish. It's REALLY tasty & quick to make and will be added to my repertoire. The fact that it's healthy is just an added bonus. There's some really tasty recipes on TH-cam.
I took Keto - bacon fried cabbage, added hamburger, jalapeno, chipotle, and it was fab.
We make that 3 times a week. That is our new rice Keto way.
I like to sprinkle some lime, or lemon. Delicious!!
Now I’m hungry 😋. Must make this dish.👍
That sounds so good. Will try-! Ty.
I grew up on the Lebanese salad tabbouli. It's delicious,nutritious and easy to make.
Must use extra virgin olive oil,and freshly squeezed lemon juice with sea salt.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
You are correct Dr.Ekberg!
Foods do not cure diseases but, they may prevent them from occuring.
I love your videos.
Keep up the good work.
Stay healthy!
I babysat for a Lebanese family and that’s how I was introduced to Tabouleh. I literally whimper with joy when I get my hands on it. Will have to make it from scratch now. 😋
Beiruti here 🙋♀️
I love tabouli and would make a large bowl just for me to enjoy. In fact for about one whole week that's all I ate. I was very surprised at the huge increase in my blood sugars until you mentioned the amount of carbs in parsley. I still love this salad but will enjoy a much smaller helping in the future
Food does cure disease,
@@pj3132 Yes, it Does!!!😉
Dr Ekberg, could you please talk about lectins and nightshades. It's an area of confusion for me, and currently I keep away from tomatoes, bell peppers and egg plants. I'm an enthusiastic follower of your lifestyle recommendations and need help in understanding lectins and nightshades. Thanks.
Same doubt about tomatoes and eggplants not good
A large number of the plant foods you say we should eat are cruciferous, high in oxylates and nightshades. Brussel sprouts contain 136 oxylates.
They might work for many but not so for those of us with autoimmune.
Thank you for the information including those of us who are sensitive to carbohydrates.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg for another rich and life-changing video. I could listen to you all day and still want to hear you talk. The tone of your voice is just perfect with the powerful information you pass across. I have changed alot in my nutrition thanks to your videos. Continue to share your knowledge and Bless our World with your messages on Health and Nutrition ...
Hey Sten,
I recently have decided to try keto and was looking at suitable veggies to have that were low carb. This video is timely and well explained.
I have lost much weight over 6 years and now focusing on getting rid of the remainder of belly fat. I attempted keto once and I stopped as I could not handle the dairy and it really affected me. This time around I'm only trying ghee and it seems to be a lot more gentle on my system.
It would be good for you to make a video on healthy bowel habits and improving these and, what are some of the causes as to why people may have issues going to the toilet.
Thank you for your content.
Made cabbage f dinner today. Thanks f sharing:)
More fiber needed…
I just love hearing him say, "Hello Health Champions!" I feel so much healthier lol.
Me too hehe
Indeed! So do I. Thank you for notting
❤
Me too!🥰💕✨
Thank you Dr. Ekberg 💕. Glad to hear about garlics as I have been planting them in the last 5 years.
Love the bunless burger idea. I used to eat my patties with cooked veg. Thank you Dr Ekberg for all this amazing videos I just started watching this week. I know you are a God send. I started watching because my Mom and Dad both died from Alzheimer's. Now I am hooked. I forwarded a video to a friend on the thyroid and she said she loved the simple way it was represented since it is apparently complicated. It gave her hope. When so much is wrong in your body it can be overwhelming. Thank God for grace that we can start with what we have. He will provide the rest. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. My friend is also inspired to watch more of your videos and I am so thankful for that. God Bless.
I've bin eating garlic and onions from the age of 2yrs old love it. Even Raw GARLIC, ONIONS NOW EVERY DAY!🤣👍😭😃
, I try to keep as close as I can to Keto ,, onions are not Keto , carrots are not either but i am having them both with my stake today,along with cauliflower. No potatoes though. 👍💖🇬🇧 love this Doctor.
Thank you doc. Sten Ekberg! All of that healthiest food you taught are very favorites of mine, my family! I love this teaching! I am one of your subscriber! God bless you!. ❤️☺️👍
Thank you Dr Ekberg. That video was very insightful as always.. you didn't mention cucumbers which is one of my favorite vegetables. Didn't it make your list?
I make my own greek salad at home with tomatos and cucumber chunks, green/red bell peppers with feta cheese in a greek vinegrette (olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, pepper, salt). It’s very filling and refreshing.
I love that Dr Sten lists the top 15 'Clean' vege as an alternative to buying organics which is beyond my budget. Thanks! Can you please do one on food for those on FODMAP diet plan?
You are absolutely right about the cauliflower pizza crusts popping up everywhere. I've looked over the ingredients list on many brands and sadly a lot of them have way too many carbs. Marketing sure has a way of luring people into buying a supposedly "healthy" product, especially people with metabolic diseases who are looking to better their health.
RTFL = read the fine label.
Thank You Claire Hachey. So many people want to profit from everyone jumping on the bandwagon without understanding what the band wagon is.😄
@@Nicksonian I've not tried to make any yet. People have had various degrees of success making it from what I see. Many complain of too much moisture/ soggy crust. I would love to give it a try, but would make sure I use paper towels or a good cotton cloth to really dry out the cauliflower. Then again, I need to find a really good recipe!
@@clairehachey2189 drying out the cauliflower is pretty important. It's insane how much moisture it holds. I've tried making it a few times and enjoyed it, although I never managed to make it hold together when taking it off the baking sheet. Tastes nothing like pizza dough, as George said, but I would never have expected it to. Personally, I think it's a lot of effort for something nice but not amazing, but definitely worth trying to make at least once.
@@juryrigging Thank you for your input 😊 I've never tried store bought ones either so I have absolutely no clue as to how they taste! But I'm curious 🤗 I've actually used pan fried eggplant slices and topped those off with either pizza or spaghetti sauce and some cheese in lieu of pizza crust!
Steamed broccoli is definitely my favorite from the list followed closely by avocado. Best part is my 15 month old daughter loves them too.
Just want to say thanks to Dr Ekberg
I didn't know why I was sick until I started watching these videos.
I'm only 40 but I was suffering with gout, arthritis, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
It took me a while to figure out that it was grains/pasta/carbohydrates in general that was making me ill.
I had a massive appitite due to lifting heavy weights and strength training, and I was always told to eat 6 times a day.
Well that was terrible, I'm now eating twice a day, mainly protein and fat and all my ailments have gone away.
I can't believe how quick it was either.
So again Thanks
@John Rambo
I'm so glad to read your comment!
It's awesome how much improvement in our health we can see by giving up those "villain food" and start eating real food. It seems like it was yesterday that nutritionists and doctors were advising us to eat every 3 hours right! How crazy was that? I'm happy we now can have access to people who really know what they are talking about like Dr. Ekberg.
Glad to hear you are doing a lot better than before.
@@rakeomartinMe
Thanks 👍
People I know still don't believe me that it was simply eating carbs that was making me ill.
Intermittent fasting and eating meat/fat + a few carefully chosen vegetables could save more lives than the entire drug / pharmaceutical industry ever has.
Don't forget your fibre as it feeds the gut bacteria and keeps you regular and your colons and intestines healthy!!
Clear information every time! And he looks healthy too so he's a good example of his lifestyle and health tips. Thank you Dr Ekberg🌹
Thank you Doc, great video and I am going to start including some of these back into my health lifestyle eating. I do currently eat plenty of sauerkraut.
Love this video, the best I have ever come across on the food selections for better health and the wallet and WHY. Your presentation is so well organized, easy to follow. One question I have is, where does cucumber stand, if it's clean or dirty? I ask this because it's one of my favorites. Thanks Dr. Sten.
Cucumber just barely missed being on the Dirty Dozen list -- it is actually ranked #13, which suggests buying organic or peeling them is best for our health.
@@swansuz Cool. Thanks for your comment.
Such great information and easy to understand for anyone.
Glad you think so! 😄
Doc, I had asked, in the comments of one of your vids, What about honey as a sweetener. I have since seen a video by you about sweeteners and found it fascinating and informative and it answered my question. I was wondering about peppers and this video partially addressed that, but you only mentioned bell peppers, not other peppers such as Chiles, jalapenos, etc. I have heard for years that they are wholesome foods and would like your take on them, as well as other foods that add some "heat," such as horseradish and wasabi. Thank you for doing these videos. I have recently made changes to my diet and you are helping me to amend it further.
Thank you , I always enjoy your videos. My problem with garlic is that it leaves mouth odor. Please what can be done to eliminate the odour
Great info, I love the clean 15. I’m changing my eating habits, I want to live longer as does my biome! Thank you 😀
Just letting you know I listen to you periodically and what you have to say is something that I know about but it’s hard for me to explain to other people I’m helping. I love to be a natural path but at this point in my life knowing information is most important. So anyways, I set you’re video up on the TV and I make people watch it.

Avocados are great in smoothies!
How about moringa?
Great information about healthy vegetables. My favorite is Avocado which i ate everyday and comes cheap and abundant here in Davao City, Philippines. Technically avocado is a fruit, not a veggie. It contain healthy unsaturated fats which lowers undesirable LDL cholesterol. Every other week i picked the fruit situated in our farm.
I was wondering what you thought about Squash. I was happy to see you include zucchini, and you have so many videos I'm not sure if any others have anything regarding Squash. Does Spaghetti Squash compare similarly to zucchini? I know butternut is pretty high in carbs, wasn't sure if that's a concern with Spaghetti Squash too. Either way, great video and great content generally.
Thank you Dr Stern, I am a big fan and this video is enlightening for me, as I eat smashed avocado and broccoli as a dip withe lettuce leaves as a kind of tacos. I season the dip with garlic, anion and tomatoes similar to guacamole and is just delicious.

So helpful as always... We are just writing it all down for super heath, kicked sugar over a year ago and never looked back thanks to you sharing your years of knowledge 👍
You're welcome. Jayne Hayes. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I do screen shots and save them in my "Health" album on my phone to refer to later. Just a tip.
Eat some Parsley if you had roh Garlic ,the smell in the mouth disappears and Parsley is good for your Eyes!
Great to see Garlic top of the list, even grew my own this year. Thanks for sharing. I try to eat mostly plant based. Greetings from New Zealand 🙏
I really enjoy listening and watching to your videos, so informative and very well explained. Excellent English, your pronunciation is so easy to understand.
Outer Aisle tortillas & pizza sized tortilla are the exception to the "made with Cauliflower" lies My Whole Foods grocery carries this brand. our service to the world with these videos Dr. Ekberg! (maybe not one of your favorites but Kale is definitely needed to add to this list
Hej Sten! Found an article about the Clean 15 and the Dirty dozen in a newspaper 15 years ago and the small article has been on my fridge since then…! I have now added your lists there too! They are my guide when I do my grocery list! Tack för allt du berättar!💙
Could u send the artIcle please
@@raziasheikh3409 Sorry! It’s in Swedish…
Thank you for always giving info that helps us thrive to eat healthier Dr Ekberg
You're welcome. Mary Yap. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed your video, I heard that watercress is also very healthy and very nutrient dense as well.
I eat (of these foods):
Garlic
Onions
(Brussels Sprouts, Tomatoes, Bell Pepper and Cabbage far less often)
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Lettuces a bit less often, well, less often than broccoli, cauliflower, onions and garlic.
Avocado is something I go back and forth regarding…. Sometimes I eat a fair amount of it, sometimes not so much.
I think I get a lot of potassium from egg/poultry/meat, fruits and nuts/seeds…
Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge of health information, it is enlightening and truly rewarding. I must admit that I am still aspiring to get to your level of discipline and commitment with my diet. You are an inspiration and a health savior in this indisposed world!
Thank you very much for another enriching and methodical video.
Garlic gives me a stomach ache every time I try to eat a little bit of it. (Worst when fresh, but also when roasted or cooked)
(It is interesting that the Hindus forbid eating garlic and onions, I do not know of a medical explanation for this prohibition.)
I also have a problem with the nightshades fruits (tomatoes, peppers and eggplants). In retrospect, it turned out to me that they were responsible for leaky gut, as soon as I stopped eating nightshades, most of the symptoms disappeared. So I suggest being careful with the recommendation to eat nightshades.
Great video with sufficient information. Thanks much Dr 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're welcome. Annajj. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.😄

Thank you Dr. Ekberg, your work is a true community service. People like you create real change we can see and measure in the world. Little by little.. but you've change my life to a major degree. Thanks
Question regarding Lectins? Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg for your very helpful and precious videos :) I have a question to your list: Tomatoes an peppers are known to have high quantities of lectins? Same with Zucchini and Egg plants? I thought we should avoid food with high lectins? Thank you for a comment :)
I was wondering his stance on lectins as well!
Potatoes too I think
I really appreciated this video. It was clear and easy to understand. I love just about all of the veggies mentioned and love to incorporate them in my two meals that I eat a day.
Thank you very much 😊 I can understand even though I’m not good in English.😊
