@@joynedyalkova2322 Hi Joy. I'm a 62 year male and I am following the Carnivore way of eating, virtually zero carbs. I workout in my home 3 times a week doing pushups, and the following exercises using dumbbells: biceps curls, triceps presses, shoulder lateral raises. I log every workout in a spreadsheet so that I can track my progress. I am definitely getting stronger because I can see the progression in the number of reps and the resistance weight. Also, I basically only eat one meal a day, in the middle of the day. My meal consists of beef, fish, eggs, oysters. So, I am living proof that you can build muscle and strength while still losing fat.

Your a champion Doc. Have been watching for a few months and you have really helped with my keto journey. Lost 11kg so far in 3 months and a lot of that is from understanding more about how everything works from someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Thanks so much ya champion
Thank you / thank you Dr. Ekberg!! Your videos have helped me beat pre-diabetes; I've lost 40 lbs, my blood pressure is now normal without any meds, and my A1c is perfectly in range now! I'm amazed, grateful 😂 and cannot say thank-you enough! I'm so happy😊 I'm helping my body become it's best. I'm 70 yrs, and your information has completely changed my life 😅 for the better.

My personal approach... I do not track macros. Only carbs. Some people call it "lazy keto," but I am not doing it out of laziness. If this is a long term / forever diet then I have to be able to rely on my instincts. That means no counting anything but carbs. Plus, like you said the fat "allowance" is really the ceiling. And for many people even the protein allowance is the ceiling. When I am my best self I am eating whole foods and making my own foods and it is easy to keep carbs very low. I do have a weakness when it comes to keto sweet treats. Even though they don't have sugar, they do trigger me and I have had a couple keto binges. I am currently pretty good at avoiding foods that trigger me, but that possibility is probably going to be there forever. When I am being my best self I feel healthier than I ever remember feeling. I am still losing weight (more slowly now) and am close enough to my goal that I am not obsessed with the weight. When I am not being my best self I feel a bit more mediocre I stall on weight loss. Surely there is a lesson in there for me I also count net carbs when eating whole food. the problem people have with net carbs comes when they eat a keto candy bar that has 22 g carbs and 20 g of added fiber and they think they are eating 2 net carbs. That is a bit of food label trickery. I saw something once that had over 40g of total carbs but 2 net. That was because of allulous... which I do understand. But it concerns me.
Thank you Olivia. That's going to work great for most people. Very few people would ever need to count protein. It usually takes care of itself when you limit carbs and eat real food.😄
Thanks doctor appreciate the detailed information, I’ve been doing OMAD with 20/4 fast (don’t eat anything past 3:00pm) on my health weight loss journey, I,m not counting carbs although eliminating most, bulletproof style coffee, green tea and water is the only fluids I drink (cut out the Soda and alcohol) I have lost 20 pounds in six weeks and feel great lots of energy
just an idea for the next video. You showed the percentages of the macros and the grames, so next let's see how it will look like on a plate (show some plates, ideas, foods) as you pointed out that 0.5 lb of grounded beef has 45g protein and 45g fat, in the next video, give more examples, so the people will understand that 70% is not too much fat.
THIS is my favorite video! So clear and informative. Excellent charts and pacing. Even though I have watched 100s of your videos, I STILL learn something new every time. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for your preparation and sharing. Following you, I have lost 43 lbs over 3 years, kept it off, and feel and sleep great.
Thank you Van o' Love. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. Congratulations on your understanding the value of repetition. We need to hear information until we own it and then we need to reinforce it. Then the hundredth time we hear it, there is nothing new, but we still walk away with an enhanced understanding. Not everything is worth learning and understanding to that degree, but health certainly is. 😄
I watched this twice and will watch again, so I can get all of the points wrapped around my brain. It's a process and the carb counting was anxiety provoking before finding this video. Thank you Dr Ekberg for making things Clear and Simple. Bless You!
I have been in the process of Low carb, keto, intermittent fasting for about 10 months. As part of this getting healthy process I find that I’m eating less, not buying junk foods, and I have more to spend on higher quality foods. Satiated in my meals as well as in my body and brain.
I came across your channel recently and I love your content and delivery! I’ve been IF for nearly 2 years and have just recently added low carb. You help me stay focused and explain the “why” so well! Thank you for doing what you do.
Dr. Ekberg- your lessons are amazing! I'm trying to get everyone I know to listen to your solid advise. I stumbled on low carb eating by accident when my A1c was high. Determined to not go the insulin route- I took charge of my heath, and now I'm a regular advocate to stop the Diabetes 2 nightmare for whomever will listen! Thank you so much for your invaluable contributions, I wish you much health, success and wealth.
I’m doing net carbs as I need a lifestyle that I can follow for the rest of my life. I’ve done enough very strict short term diet fixes that didn’t fix anything long term. I love veggies and don’t think I could limit them to the extent that say 20g total carbs would require. I know carnivores can be healthy but I don’t want to just eat fatty meat. I still want to enjoy my food and not look at food just as something I have to do to make my body survive
Thank you Christa Wild. Exactly. Short term interventions don't fix long term problems. You could still fit a lot. A LOT of non-starchy vegetables into 20 net grams.😄
I eat 200g of Protein, 90g of Fat and 100g of carbs a day and have lost a ton of weight over the past year. When I was lower carbs and higher fat I didn’t feel as good. Check out the PE diet by Ted Naiman.
I have trouble eating fatty meat also, fortunately, I like butter and sour cream. Using olive oil as dressing on greens and when cooking lean meat helps with satiation and adds flavor and moisture.
The best explanation I have ever heard re this confusion. Thank you so much. I am a carnivore with a maximum carb daily of 10g or less and nil sugar. Your video really helps in the true calculation of carbs and fibre. Always look forward to your awesome videos.
Lynic it keeps getting better. Remember your eating this way to get healthy and because you’re getting healthy you are loosing weight. I have been doing this for about 10 months and feel great. It has not been quick process, I am far from where I want my body to be, but it took me years to break my metabolic system and I need to give it time to heal. My scale of getting healthy is not a number but how my body feels and the joy of how I feel in my body and in my clothes. Blessings.
Dr Ekberg is the only person I ever heard or read that has said "We're all different" and understands 'one fit does not suit all', therefore proving that not only does he know his subject and how the body really works but also understands 'People'.
This is by far the best plain English explanation of the fundamental principals of keto that I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you, Dr Ekberg. You're doing a wonderful public service and I wish all GPs were like you. 🙂👍

I have to say, I don't understand people who say you talk to slow. I love the speed of your speaking. I'm USA born, but I guess maybe it's because I'm not impatient. I'm not a "bottom line" type person. I want to hear everything you have to say. It's all important or you wouldn't say it. Keep doing what you're doing. Look at the following you have. Most of us are obviously behind you. I've only just started, but I'm sharing you with other people.

*I've always struggled with counting carbs on a keto diet, but this video simplifies the process and offers practical tips to make it easier. Thank you for sharing this informative video!*
Wow thanks Dr Ekberg,,, I’m trying 18/6 which is going well Most days & eating carbs once a day,,, listening to this today I’m needing to drop carbs more as no change at minute, also having ACV every morning in warm water,,, I’m determined to shift this bit of stubborn fat as always comes back from normal eating,,,, keep on trying keep on listening,
Hello doctor... I do OMAD I eat 800g of leafy green everyday (big bawl where I mix all together add salt, garlic,apple cider vinegar and olive oil... i also add spices (ginger,cumin, pepper, curcuma...) to extract flavours ^^) then I have my protein(it could be: sardine or other type if fish, beef, chicken, liver..) Right After that I have my desert:in a plate I put nuts in a side, tbs of peanut butter, mixture of seeds(chia, sesame, flax),I also love Camembert, goat cheese, some pumpkin seeds.... When I count the net carbs I find it around 25 to 32g ...it depends because sometimes I add some blackberries or tomato or leek onion to my salad.. When I don't eat leafy greens I substitute it with cauliflower and broccoli ( steamed then sauté with butter, add parsley eggs garlic..so tasty) The problem is I want to cut even more my carbs but I don't want to have deficiencies in nutriments like potassium or calcium ....I could do less of leafy green but I don't want to be deficient in potassium and other minerals .... What do you think? Thank you so much doctor.... You are my hero!
I broke it😪 I'm in my sixties and did plant-based for 1 year... I did lose a lot of weight and I did normalize my blood sugar on plant-based very low fat ... I couldn't stay with the diet gained the weight back have aic 10 now. 2 months now doing keto low carb w some IF. Trying to stop a run away train. Thanks 4 info😉😊

Very educational as always doc, what i love the most about your content is you being very unbiased and giving multiple options to check which one suits the individual best based on his metabolic health, other channels are too pro keto or too carnivore these days without taking individuals metabllic health in consideration and i hate them for that!
Hello Dr. Sten Ekberg, I am a 5'4" female who weighed 138 lbs all of summer 2020 despite running for 1 hour everyday. Only after watching your videos and following 2 mad and omad I have been able to lower it down to 133 lbs and have been able to maintain it for a month now. So very thankful to you. My struggle is that I am a vegetarian who eats dairy but no meat and no eggs, what is the best way to stay satiated without having carbs? I have no sugar cravings and no carb cravings, but don't know how to feel satiated just by having veggies and dairy.
After an illness I'm trying to maintain my weight. But I have to adjust up and down almost every week. So thank you so much ❤️ for this information. I can now work with my maintenance food schedule very well 😊!
I can’t tell you enough that I really enjoy your content and knowledge but what i especially appreciate is how much you are a gentleman and carry a lot of dignity and class! Thank you for sharing and your effort to help people!
This should be one of the first to watch video to make the very confusing part clear about Keto! Thank you Dr.Sten Ekberg for your time and all the effort.
Thank you Helen Kinsella. I appreciate that. Genius is just consistent focus on one topic. We are all geniuses in some way. My focus is to explain big picture health to as many people as possible. 😄
Dr. Sten you're so good at explaining the difficult parts of nutrition and physiology it's amazing! I really like your videos. Much appreciated, I've followed many of your advice amongst others, of course, and lost 96lbs (43kg) in 26 weeks with keto and intermittent fasting. I do also practice OMAD after 3 months and I think that is a thing that works right for me and again, thank you for a very good channel!

Keto/Fast Lifestyle is helpline me a lots about my Problem with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I can manage the Trigger better so also the Stress. Thx a lots Dr. S. Ekberg.
Thank you Dr. I discovered your video's 2 months ago and I have lost 4,5 kilos thanks to your prescription of intermitent fasting + reducing carbs and increasing good fat.. The difference compared to other "diets" is that it feels that I can continue this all my life. Your videos give me motivation and I learned a lot..as a result I feed my children different..
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg I am a type 1 brittle diabetic and I have been following you for a few months and I still am very insulin resistant not sure if I'm doing things right but the videos you post give me a pretty good clarity on what I am trying to do?
Thank you Adam Maxwell for being a member and good job on taking charge and learning to control your IR. Too many type 1's eat according to the guidelines and take insulin in proportion and become IR. Type 1 is no different. Less insulin is still better even when you have to administer it from the outside.😄
@@patrickh709 - Dr. Ekberg has always been a proponent of Fasting to lose weight. th-cam.com/video/fZhkFOCeZMQ/w-d-xo.html is just one example. A Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting go together. Most of the Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet, whether it be an Omnivore, Carnivore, or Vegan version, are actually Realized by NOT Eating. By limiting the spikes of Blood Sugar and Insulin when Eating, a Ketogenic Diet makes your FASTING more effective. The Ketogenic Diet allows you to Fast longer. It not only reduces Insulin Resistance, it also reduces Leptin Resistance. Leptin is the Hormone that controls Satiety, the feeling of Fullness. Obese people have high Insulin Resistance AND high Leptin Resistance. As a result, they ALWAYS feel Hungry. As Leptin Resistance is reduced, you can Fast longer, before you feel Hungry again.
Well, when you don't eat anything, you're not taking in any calories. Therefore yes, you will probably lose weight. We've actually known that if you don't eat anything you lose weight quickly for quite some time now.
Another awesome video Doctor Ekberg. I seem to have a natural two week swing between carnivore and then more ketogenic. I love the ability to change easily between them.
Thank you for all your videos. The way you explain things is admirable. I really enjoy and love the way to can explain all this issues in a simples a easy way for all of us to understand .
Like flax seed, hemp seed is a great thing to eat as well. If you eat flax seed, make sure to grind them first into a powder. And do not store that flax-seed powder, as it can go off very quickly (within hours). Hemp Seed does have a great Omega 3-6-9 balance.
Bravo! Simply stunning presentation. I feel as if your have giving back power to take back control and make the most positive impact on my health and well being.
Dr. Ekberg, you are an absolute gem and wealth of information! I have been watching your videos for a long time now. Considering our current coronavirus and long haul symptoms that seem to be autonomic nervous system related (POTS type) and your comment about the majority of our immune system coming from the gut, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to maximize our ANS function. I wonder if that would be helpful in decreasing some of the long haul symptoms.
Since some months, i don't think there is anything left at home that can seriously kick me out of Ketosis. So at least at home i am doing fine without counting carbs :) Thanks for the great Video again!
Oh my goodness!! Were you a fly on my wall?? 😃 I have just started having some diverticulitis flare ups and was thinking about going carnivore to calm it down! I also wasn’t really understanding the whole net carb/total carb debate, so this was 🏆🏆. A million thank you’s!!
Thank you Sarah Forrestal. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
I love your videos...they are so informative. I have been doing Keto for 3 months and I have lost 21 pounds. It was crazy how easy the weight came off. But now I am at a 1 month stand still of the same exact weight. I am still eating 25 carbs a day without fail and I have never had a cheat day. What should I do? Can you direct me to a video that could possibly help me on my weight loss/health journey?

If this is a long term / forever diet then I have to be able to rely on my instincts. That means no counting anything but carbs. Plus, like you said the fat "allowance" is really the ceiling. And for many people even the protein allowance is the ceiling.
When I am my best self I am eating whole foods and making my own foods and it is easy to keep carbs very low. I do have a weakness when it comes to keto sweet treats. Even though they don't have sugar, they do trigger me and I have had a couple keto binges. I am currently pretty good at avoiding foods that trigger me, but that possibility is probably going to be there forever.
When I am being my best self I feel healthier than I ever remember feeling. I am still losing weight (more slowly now) and am close enough to my goal that I am not obsessed with the weight.
When I am not being my best self I feel a bit more mediocre I stall on weight loss.
Surely there is a lesson in there for me
I also count net carbs when eating whole food. the problem people have with net carbs comes when they eat a keto candy bar that has 22 g carbs and 20 g of added fiber and they think they are eating 2 net carbs. That is a bit of food label trickery. I saw something once that had over 40g of total carbs but 2 net. That was because of allulous... which I do understand. But it concerns me.
Thank you Olivia. That's going to work great for most people. Very few people would ever need to count protein. It usually takes care of itself when you limit carbs and eat real food.😄
Thanks doctor appreciate the detailed information, I’ve been doing OMAD with 20/4 fast (don’t eat anything past 3:00pm) on my health weight loss journey, I,m not counting carbs although eliminating most, bulletproof style coffee, green tea and water is the only fluids I drink (cut out the Soda and alcohol) I have lost 20 pounds in six weeks and feel great lots of energy
Thank you Marty I for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
You're killing it Marty!!!!! 😊
just an idea for the next video. You showed the percentages of the macros and the grames, so next let's see how it will look like on a plate (show some plates, ideas, foods) as you pointed out that 0.5 lb of grounded beef has 45g protein and 45g fat, in the next video, give more examples, so the people will understand that 70% is not too much fat.
Thank you Jovan Karamac. Great idea. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll try to do that. 😄
I was going to suggest that too.
I would really love yo see that too... Practical and visual material of the macros on a plate!! 😊
Yes, i would like to see examples too.
I recommend that also.
THIS is my favorite video! So clear and informative. Excellent charts and pacing. Even though I have watched 100s of your videos, I STILL learn something new every time. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for your preparation and sharing. Following you, I have lost 43 lbs over 3 years, kept it off, and feel and sleep great.
Thank you Van o' Love. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. Congratulations on your understanding the value of repetition. We need to hear information until we own it and then we need to reinforce it. Then the hundredth time we hear it, there is nothing new, but we still walk away with an enhanced understanding. Not everything is worth learning and understanding to that degree, but health certainly is. 😄
I watched this twice and will watch again, so I can get all of the points wrapped around my brain. It's a process and the carb counting was anxiety provoking before finding this video. Thank you Dr Ekberg for making things Clear and Simple. Bless You!
I have been in the process of Low carb, keto, intermittent fasting for about 10 months. As part of this getting healthy process I find that I’m eating less, not buying junk foods, and I have more to spend on higher quality foods. Satiated in my meals as well as in my body and brain.
I came across your channel recently and I love your content and delivery! I’ve been IF for nearly 2 years and have just recently added low carb. You help me stay focused and explain the “why” so well! Thank you for doing what you do.
Dr. Ekberg- your lessons are amazing! I'm trying to get everyone I know to listen to your solid advise. I stumbled on low carb eating by accident when my A1c was high. Determined to not go the insulin route- I took charge of my heath, and now I'm a regular advocate to stop the Diabetes 2 nightmare for whomever will listen! Thank you so much for your invaluable contributions, I wish you much health, success and wealth.
I’m doing net carbs as I need a lifestyle that I can follow for the rest of my life. I’ve done enough very strict short term diet fixes that didn’t fix anything long term. I love veggies and don’t think I could limit them to the extent that say 20g total carbs would require. I know carnivores can be healthy but I don’t want to just eat fatty meat. I still want to enjoy my food and not look at food just as something I have to do to make my body survive
Thank you Christa Wild. Exactly. Short term interventions don't fix long term problems. You could still fit a lot. A LOT of non-starchy vegetables into 20 net grams.😄
I eat 200g of Protein, 90g of Fat and 100g of carbs a day and have lost a ton of weight over the past year. When I was lower carbs and higher fat I didn’t feel as good. Check out the PE diet by Ted Naiman.
I have trouble eating fatty meat also, fortunately, I like butter and sour cream. Using olive oil as dressing on greens and when cooking lean meat helps with satiation and adds flavor and moisture.
It is your personal choice. It looks simple to me…..eat Keto and don’t give up veggies. You will need to ditch the high carb vegs.
Dr. No one breaks information down like you. Thank you sir.
Thank you Rudy Wesson. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
The best explanation I have ever heard re this confusion. Thank you so much. I am a carnivore with a maximum carb daily of 10g or less and nil sugar. Your video really helps in the true calculation of carbs and fibre. Always look forward to your awesome videos.
Been eating less than 50g of carbs and doing 18:6 IF for 18 days & I’ve already lost 9 lbs pretty effortlessly☺️ Thanks for this info!
Lynic it keeps getting better. Remember your eating this way to get healthy and because you’re getting healthy you are loosing weight. I have been doing this for about 10 months and feel great. It has not been quick process, I am far from where I want my body to be, but it took me years to break my metabolic system and I need to give it time to heal. My scale of getting healthy is not a number but how my body feels and the joy of how I feel in my body and in my clothes. Blessings.
The initial approx. 4lbs is water weight that will come back, don't fret
I still have NO IDEA why this isnt all over the internet. This is amazing, just brilliant. I am so happy I ended up on this channel.
Dr Ekberg is the only person I ever heard or read that has said "We're all different" and understands 'one fit does not suit all', therefore proving that not only does he know his subject and how the body really works but also understands 'People'.
Thank you Garry Rowland. I don't see how you can be an open minded clinician and not realize that. 😄
This is very educational and helpful. Thank you, Dr and you are the real health champion.
My morning ACV drink has lemon in it! It tastes just like lemonade! I love it!
I do same but with electrolytes. It really helps to push my fasting longer.
@@mrsjohn92 Yes, I do electrolytes when fasting too, but whether or not I'm fasting, I have ACV!
Thank you Sean Awesome. I often do ACV, lemon, and sparkling water with a little stevia for a meal beverage.😄
You are the best doctor ❤
This is by far the best plain English explanation of the fundamental principals of keto that I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you, Dr Ekberg. You're doing a wonderful public service and I wish all GPs were like you. 🙂👍

This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone explain how our body works. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to us.
A+ video in every way ! Thanks
Thank you Christian Allen. I'm glad I'm above passing. 😄
I have to say, I don't understand people who say you talk to slow. I love the speed of your speaking. I'm USA born, but I guess maybe it's because I'm not impatient. I'm not a "bottom line" type person. I want to hear everything you have to say. It's all important or you wouldn't say it. Keep doing what you're doing. Look at the following you have. Most of us are obviously behind you. I've only just started, but I'm sharing you with other people.
Thank you for your videos. For the first time in my life I am truly understanding how my body works and what it means to pursue true health with good nutritious foods. I feel like I am finally on the right road to better health.

8:38 carbs vs net carbs
Always a pleasure doctor!
Thank you tony arcuri. Glad to hear it.😄
*I've always struggled with counting carbs on a keto diet, but this video simplifies the process and offers practical tips to make it easier. Thank you for sharing this informative video!*
Thanks Doctor Sten Ekberg For Your Informative Videos.
Glad you like them!
So good! So clear! So inspirational!
Wow thanks Dr Ekberg,,, I’m trying 18/6 which is going well Most days & eating carbs once a day,,, listening to this today I’m needing to drop carbs more as no change at minute, also having ACV every morning in warm water,,, I’m determined to shift this bit of stubborn fat as always comes back from normal eating,,,, keep on trying keep on listening,
Hello doctor...
I do OMAD
I eat 800g of leafy green everyday (big bawl where I mix all together add salt, garlic,apple cider vinegar and olive oil... i also add spices (ginger,cumin, pepper, curcuma...) to extract flavours ^^) then I have my protein(it could be: sardine or other type if fish, beef, chicken, liver..)
Right After that I have my desert:in a plate I put nuts in a side, tbs of peanut butter, mixture of seeds(chia, sesame, flax),I also love Camembert, goat cheese, some pumpkin seeds....
When I count the net carbs I find it around 25 to 32g ...it depends because sometimes I add some blackberries or tomato or leek onion to my salad..
When I don't eat leafy greens I substitute it with cauliflower and broccoli ( steamed then sauté with butter, add parsley eggs garlic..so tasty)
The problem is I want to cut even more my carbs but I don't want to have deficiencies in nutriments like potassium or calcium ....I could do less of leafy green but I don't want to be deficient in potassium and other minerals ....
What do you think?
Thank you so much doctor.... You are my hero!
I broke it😪
I'm in my sixties and did plant-based for 1 year... I did lose a lot of weight and I did normalize my blood sugar on plant-based very low fat ... I couldn't stay with the diet gained the weight back have aic 10 now.
2 months now doing keto low carb w some IF.
Trying to stop a run away train.
Thanks 4 info😉😊
Well done Dr. Sten Ekberg. May you live long. God bless you and keep you happy to the last breath of your life. I am enjoying your lectures. You are a great and nice man. Well done again.
You are welcome Dr. Ali Muhammad. It was my pleasure 😄
Finally!!! Some clarity on how to count carbs!! Thank you so so so much!!! 🥑
The best video Ive seen on this very important topic. Thank you for such vital information!
I really need a recipe book specifically for intermittent fasting until I get the hang of what to eat and what not to eat when breaking fast
Thank you shades of purple.
Best video I’ve seen on carbs!!!!!!

Thank You @isbarraify so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
The best explanation on here!!
Very educational as always doc, what i love the most about your content is you being very unbiased and giving multiple options to check which one suits the individual best based on his metabolic health, other channels are too pro keto or too carnivore these days without taking individuals metabllic health in consideration and i hate them for that!
Hello Dr. Sten Ekberg, I am a 5'4" female who weighed 138 lbs all of summer 2020 despite running for 1 hour everyday. Only after watching your videos and following 2 mad and omad I have been able to lower it down to 133 lbs and have been able to maintain it for a month now. So very thankful to you. My struggle is that I am a vegetarian who eats dairy but no meat and no eggs, what is the best way to stay satiated without having carbs? I have no sugar cravings and no carb cravings, but don't know how to feel satiated just by having veggies and dairy.
I’m eating 17 net carbs a day and also 16:8. Lost 14 lbs. in 13 days and so happy. Ty for the info!
Thank you doctor.
May God bless you!
Very useful video. Love and Blessings to you and your loved ones
After an illness I'm trying to maintain my weight. But I have to adjust up and down almost every week. So thank you so much ❤️ for this information. I can now work with my maintenance food schedule very well 😊!
You are welcome Justlive Happylife. It was my pleasure. Good luck 😄
I can’t tell you enough that I really enjoy your content and knowledge but what i especially appreciate is how much you are a gentleman and carry a lot of dignity and class! Thank you for sharing and your effort to help people!
Best explanation ever!
This should be one of the first to watch video to make the very confusing part clear about Keto!
Thank you Dr.Sten Ekberg for your time and all the effort.
Glad it was helpful!
@@drekberg it sure was, as usual 👍😊
Thank you. You are brilliant.
Thank you Helen Kinsella. I appreciate that. Genius is just consistent focus on one topic. We are all geniuses in some way. My focus is to explain big picture health to as many people as possible. 😄
Dr. Sten you're so good at explaining the difficult parts of nutrition and physiology it's amazing! I really like your videos. Much appreciated, I've followed many of your advice amongst others, of course, and lost 96lbs (43kg) in 26 weeks with keto and intermittent fasting. I do also practice OMAD after 3 months and I think that is a thing that works right for me and again, thank you for a very good channel!

🐈 My most often reviewed saved video, a reminder to self of keeping on track (have lost 106# in a year). I would have liked a "BONUS POINT" bullet about the importance of MCV's .
Stay focus, live life 🤗🐈
Keto/Fast Lifestyle is helpline me a lots about my Problem with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I can manage the Trigger better so also the Stress. Thx a lots Dr. S. Ekberg.
You are our favorite doctor.
Thank you!
Be well!💞💃🏻🕴
Thank you Dr. I discovered your video's 2 months ago and I have lost 4,5 kilos thanks to your prescription of intermitent fasting + reducing carbs and increasing good fat.. The difference compared to other "diets" is that it feels that I can continue this all my life. Your videos give me motivation and I learned a lot..as a result I feed my children different..
What good fat did you increase??
How's it going now for 9 months??
Great explanation of IR, carbs etc. Most detail I have heard. Thank you
Thanks for the great information you give to us Doctor.God Bless you.
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg I am a type 1 brittle diabetic and I have been following you for a few months and I still am very insulin resistant not sure if I'm doing things right but the videos you post give me a pretty good clarity on what I am trying to do?
Thank you Adam Maxwell for being a member and good job on taking charge and learning to control your IR. Too many type 1's eat according to the guidelines and take insulin in proportion and become IR. Type 1 is no different. Less insulin is still better even when you have to administer it from the outside.😄
Hi Dr . Thanks for your good video. Can you make one for mimicking fast please.
Good stuff Doc!
Thank you. Very well done video. 🩵
Thank you so much 🙏for taking the time to give all this wonderful information , you are amazing doctor, teacher and person 👍
I love and appreciate your videos. Keep up the great work!
Among the best videos I saw on TH-cam !! Congratulations
Interesting video everyone needs to watch, thank you
Love it love it love it thank u
Wanna lose weight fast?
Wanna lose weight? Fast.
@@patrickh709 Dr. Ekberg does promote fasting, as well.
@@patrickh709 - Dr. Ekberg has always been a proponent of Fasting to lose weight. th-cam.com/video/fZhkFOCeZMQ/w-d-xo.html is just one example.
A Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting go together. Most of the Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet, whether it be an Omnivore, Carnivore, or Vegan version, are actually Realized by NOT Eating. By limiting the spikes of Blood Sugar and Insulin when Eating, a Ketogenic Diet makes your FASTING more effective.
The Ketogenic Diet allows you to Fast longer. It not only reduces Insulin Resistance, it also reduces Leptin Resistance. Leptin is the Hormone that controls Satiety, the feeling of Fullness. Obese people have high Insulin Resistance AND high Leptin Resistance. As a result, they ALWAYS feel Hungry. As Leptin Resistance is reduced, you can Fast longer, before you feel Hungry again.
Thank you Carbage Man. Love it. 😄
I think Dr Ekberg will soon be doing a week long fast.
Well, when you don't eat anything, you're not taking in any calories. Therefore yes, you will probably lose weight. We've actually known that if you don't eat anything you lose weight quickly for quite some time now.
Thanks Doc. 😊
You are welcome MzWorld!!. It was my pleasure 😄
Another awesome video Doctor Ekberg. I seem to have a natural two week swing between carnivore and then more ketogenic. I love the ability to change easily between them.
Thank you Listen Well. Awesome. I appreciate your feedback. 😄
lovely.Thank you so much.I agree totally and I'm following your advice.
Thank you for giving such clear information which will help
So many people and I’m definitely taking on board. 🙏🏻
Thank you Dr. E kberg highly informational and easily understood!!!
Very good info., thank you very much!!
you are a genius long life and blessings to you.
Thank you for all your videos. The way you explain things is admirable. I really enjoy and love the way to can explain all this issues in a simples a easy way for all of us to understand .
Like flax seed, hemp seed is a great thing to eat as well. If you eat flax seed, make sure to grind them first into a powder. And do not store that flax-seed powder, as it can go off very quickly (within hours). Hemp Seed does have a great Omega 3-6-9 balance.
Amazing explanation thanks so much dr. Ekberg
Bravo! Simply stunning presentation. I feel as if your have giving back power to take back control and make the most positive impact on my health and well being.
Great info
Dr. Ekberg, you are an absolute gem and wealth of information! I have been watching your videos for a long time now. Considering our current coronavirus and long haul symptoms that seem to be autonomic nervous system related (POTS type) and your comment about the majority of our immune system coming from the gut, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to maximize our ANS function. I wonder if that would be helpful in decreasing some of the long haul symptoms.
Excellent thanks.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg… you are a good egg (soul) and your service is much appreciated!!!!
you are simply a blessing!!❤❤
Thank you Addis today. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
Since some months, i don't think there is anything left at home that can seriously kick me out of Ketosis. So at least at home i am doing fine without counting carbs :) Thanks for the great Video again!
Oh my goodness!! Were you a fly on my wall?? 😃 I have just started having some diverticulitis flare ups and was thinking about going carnivore to calm it down! I also wasn’t really understanding the whole net carb/total carb debate, so this was 🏆🏆. A million thank you’s!!
Easy to understand. Thankyou
Thank you Sarah Forrestal. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Such a good video!
I love your videos...they are so informative. I have been doing Keto for 3 months and I have lost 21 pounds. It was crazy how easy the weight came off. But now I am at a 1 month stand still of the same exact weight. I am still eating 25 carbs a day without fail and I have never had a cheat day. What should I do? Can you direct me to a video that could possibly help me on my weight loss/health journey?
