I don't believe this came across my feed. Dr Ekberg is my old chiropractor from the 2000s, who I had to let go of when his practice moved too far out of Atlanta for me to get to. He was the greatest of all time. So glad I connected with him once again. Bearing down on a million subscribers! OMG. You deserve it Dr. Sten. You saved me from so much pain.
Hi Jerry. Great to hear from you. We're still off exit 17 in Cumming if you need us. In the mean time you can watch videos so that you hopefully won't need us.😄

I recently did my A1C test. It was 6.3 I was elated. My Doctor however said I need to have some complex carbs. She said I should have some for breakfast. I don’t eat breakfast anymore. I didn’t tell her this. She asked what diet I’m on I said the one that my body needs.I told her my body doesn’t like carbs so I eat as little as possible. It’s allergic to sugar so I’ve totally stopped eating any sugar. I felt like she was scolding me instead of recognizing my hard work and dedication to better health.I was on a crap load of meds. I’m on 4 metformin 2 in the morning 2 at night. I stopped my cholesterol meds. My cholesterol result was fantastic, I also stopped my high blood pressure meds because I was constantly dizzy , when I took my blood pressure it was low. So after monitoring for awhile I stopped taking it and my dizziness went away. My body is the most important source of information, I’ll always listen to it. I started my lifestyle change in early December, after being sick every day from a new diabetes medication. I’m 54 years old and have had diabetes for 14 years now. I wish my Doctor at the time of diagnosis told me I’ve the power to reverse my condition instead of saying this is a progressive disease.
Thank you Helen De Silva for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results and that you are smarter than your doctor and taking charge of your health. Keep it up! 😄
It is a progressive disease if you follow your doctors recommendation.
It will make your doctor progress financially. That's why it's called progressive disease by doctors. -:)
Helen you did well. I am happy for you. Greetings from Poland 👍😊
You're doing fantastic. Wishing I'd started dropping the carbs way sooner.
There is no money in a cure, the money is in the treatment.
That’s no secret….your point is??
@@dstarkspp, the point is that doctors are keeping us sick because it is profitable to keep us on medication. What is the point of your comment?
Doctors are wrong about everything. I found that if I do exactly the opposite of what they suggest I actually do better.
Thank you for your videos. You don’t even know what you’ve done for me! There is no way to express my gratitude.
We should all listen to our bodies ,, I do !,, doctors only go by the book ,, we are all made different,, listen to what your body tells you ,,,👍
Sandra Westley most doctors were in medical school when in the 1970 it was decided that a healthy diet pyramid was a big Chuck of carbs at the bottom with fats at the top, so you eat the least if these, it is only recently that it has been recognised that we only started getting fat from 1970 when the diet advice was changed, in the UK hospitals are rolling out a similar to Keto in clinics to get diabetes in reverse, and I read in the paper it has recently been acknowledged by the American Dietitian Society that it is the best for reversing diabetes.
Oh dear ... I hope you never get seriously ill.
@Fast Internet Thats a bad idea, very bad diet...
A good diet is a balanced natural diet. Any imbalanced diet is not good.
@@salonsavy6476 yes exactly, listen to your body, and when you are fasting it will feel very energised and well
Dr Ekberg , listening to you saying “Hello health champions” makes feel me happy and empowered ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙌🏻

Me too. Love that he calls us Health Champions
I feel the same sentiment 😁
Yep 👍

I am a Spanish speaker and I understand the doctor perfectly. TODAY TH-cam RECOMMEND ME YOUR CHANNEL AND I'M GETTING ADDICTED TO YOUR VIDEOS.

My doctor was so wrong. I'm reversing my blood sugar levels and am almost back within normal range after switching to a very low carb diet and IF. If I had not discovered Dr Ekberg and this wonderful channel, I would have continued on a destructive path healthwise. As a licensed practical nurse, I should have known better and listen to the distress signals my body was sending me. So Dr Ekberg, I can't thank you enough for all the valuable information you give out so generously. You are making a difference in people's lives and we all appreciate your investment in our health.
Thank you Claire Hachey. Congratulations on your results and your dedication. We need more informed nurses like you. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
I totally agree..you have to follow drs like you for advice & self educate..all your told is to cut carbs no details!
I'm keto and suddenly one month after covid I have high blood sugar and higher heart rate, they say it's usually after covid, but I'm confused.
Absolutely agree with you, when I finally realized my endocrinologist was part of the problem Dr Ekberg became part of the solution my A1C was 13.4 it's now a 7.0. My weight was 264 it's now 215 and still a lifetime work in progress
@@rileymcintosh4852 Good luck to you!
What you described is something that has plagued me since i first started Keto. It made no sense to me why my highest blood sugar readings were after an 18 hour fast, while my lowest readings were after a decent meal. All i knew was that my weight, A1c and lipid panels were consistently improving by leaps and bounds. Im so happy to finally understand why! Thank you so much!!

My favorite TH-cam doctor is marching his way to a million subscribers. It couldn't happen to a better person. Way to go doctor Ekberg. I have always said your home IR video is the best video on the subject anywhere that I've ever seen by anyone
Thank you Over Comer. I really appreciate your feedback and your support. 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. 😄
If you want to decrease insulin resistance you need to do something about the *cause* of insulin resistance-saturated fats from eating meat, eggs, and dairy products. Ekberg's recommendation that you eat more meat, eggs, and dairy (a low carbohydrate diet) is the exact opposite of what you should do to decrease insulin resistance. A chiropractic doctorate degree does not in any way inform Ekberg about nutritional science which is obvious from his remarks in this ill-informed video.
@@jimscanoe Vegan is not the answer for me! Low carb and IF is all I can deal with! I'll just have to suffer the consequences later instead of every day!
Doctors are the last persons I'd ever believe anyway
I mean they still believe
Breakfast is important
Low fats food
Moderate carbs
Loads of fruits and vegetables
And eating frequently
Enough said!
You forgot...and no salt! (Crazy)
(I feel like Drs don’t even read anything or research anything past their initial schooling.)
Breakfast is important for ur thyroid, wait till u reach premenopause, u will feel it after all years u stressed ur thyroid by fasting
@@anir8023 you need to watch Dr Berg on youtube LoL 😅
Oh by the way I'm passed 60 years old !
@@StephenieWith3Es absolutely in fact I've learned from Dr Eric Berg they only actually spend 20 hours on human nutrition to obtain their diploma

@@28fabrice my comment was deleted
My kids stayed over with a friend with 2 diabetic kids and a diabetic husband. I’ll never forget showing up and seeing them eating chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! I was like, heavens friend, thats a lot of carbs and she said their doctor says let them eat whatever they want and just adjust their insulin afterwards. My kids arent diabetic but they still talk about those yummy pancakes because they know that will NEVER be served in our house :)
Thank you Queen Dubya. That is so tragic. Such a complete lack of understanding on the part of their doctor. Those kids will be so messed up, but what do you do if you trust that kind of doctor and you don't have the urge to educate yourself. And how many (hundreds of) millions are like that? That's why I hope my channel will get into the hundreds of millions of subscribers so people can't miss it. 😕
Very sad. Particularly since that doctor is passing on his bad advice to many, many patients that will have lifelong consequences. We need to have a massive realignment in the teaching of medical doctors about nutrition and the causes of insulin resistance, and it would be great if that was Dr. Eckberg 😀
Very sad !!
Never serve pancakes? Thats a set up for failure. Once a month, portion the syrup or thinned jam and enjoy with fatty meat like sausage and a side of yogurt.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah or make almond flour keto pancakes & sugar free syrup once in awhile is a choice I follow👍

Thank you meer minhaj. Keep it going😄
Congratulations. I started on February 1 and I am wondering it is ok for me to continue since I have hypothyroid. I am feeling great though

Hi...do you know if peanut oil is a good oil to take!
This information really makes you want to stop brutalizing your body with carbs. 🍁💛🍁
Thank you Kathy M. Glad to hear it.😄
It does, doesn’t it!
@@drekbergVery good video, but there is one more factor that you missed in the video: fibre.
Whole grains have lots of fibre. Fibre counteracts Sugar release.
So, any diet of whole grains & lots of veggies will cure diabetes.
I was just thinking that.
@@trira1171 instead of carbs and fiber more fats like coconut oil, olive oil, saturated fats and avocado oil do NOT make the body produce insulin and keep you satiated
This was a difficult one to explain. But every credit. You made it make sense. 👍🏻
Thank you Garry Rowland. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
I reversed my diabetes years ago. As of yesterday, my A1C is 5.6....I do IF and LCHF diet. I’ve read up on the Dawn phenomenon, and my body definitely goes through this. I check my glucose twice a day. My morning fasting numbers have always been higher than normal, but then balances back out during the day. It use to be discouraging, but now that I know this happens and along with your explaination, I’m good. 😊 I did a happy dance with my A1C of 5.6
I have the same as you. Even the high glucose levels in the morning. Up to 9.3 in the morning, but it would come down to a normal 5.3 later. Then I fixed it. I fasted for 5 days. Nothing but water and salt. On day three the dawn phenomenon started coming down. 7.5. Day 4 it was down to 6.2. Day 5 it was 5.2. I believe that there is a store of glucose somewhere in your body that causes dawn phenomenon, and a long fast depletes it. I eat a carnivore diet now, OMAD, because when I eat any carbohydrate, even the tiny amounts in cruciferous vegetables, my morning fasting glucose level starts creeping up again. So, deplete that store, and keep it empty.
@@jlbee1132 hi, but if fasting Glucose is 110, it is bad for the A1c test?
Try a ZERO carb diet. If you can do that, having diabetes is nearly impossible.
Yep! Three carbs is too much for me too.
Congratulations
Hi fellow health champions! Let's hear what Doc Ekberg will cover today!
Heavenly information
Thank you Monokuman Nius.😄 Go Health Champions
Thank You Dr. I Love ur Videos
I was between 6.2 to 6.4 for HbA1C, 3 months back. I have followed your diet for more than 3 weeks now and yesterday my number is 5.4. I am confident that I can bring it down to 5. Thank you for all the suggestions. I am skipping breakfast now. Having lunch between 12 PM to 2 PM and extending as much as possible. Having dinner between 7 to 7:30 PM and taking Apple Cider Vinegar twice a day. Reduced 2 Kgs and more importantly my belly went down from 94 to 89 cms. I am sure I am becoming healthy again. Being an Indian, fasting for 36 hours every 15 days is part of our culture and probably that is the reason why I haven't become diabetic until now. Thanks to our predecessors who introduced this system in our culture. Thank you again for your efforts to share the knowledge.
It was Doctor Oseiwe who cured me from Asthma, you can also get in touch with him on TH-cam channel Doctor Oseiwe, if you need help and be cured completely🇬🇧🇬🇧"
Ive been searching for this answer for weeks, thank you! Im at above 8 after 16 hours fast and it drops after my omad. Been on extremely low carb for 6 months and omad a month and a halve. Lost 10 kg. The high fasting level worried me. Now i need to watch this several times to get my head around this explanation. Not all that easy to understand, but i do trust dr ekberg. Keep going in the right direction!
I saw exactly this paradoxical situation recently. My 17 hour fasting BG was a scary 110+ but as soon as I ate something it immediately dropped to 80+. I read something that explained it as the liver producing ‘breakfast’ but the body, having become fat-adapted, simply didn’t use it, so it stayed in the blood stream. As it was not the emergency Dr Ekberg talks about, my body did not bother creating insulin to lower it. Today my fasting BG was 78, so I guess I am one more step along on this fascinating Keto journey.
Congrats to you! I am still struggling with the high fasting glucose levels, but it is encouraging to hear your testimony to that it will eventually improve.
I don’t bother checking my BG when I wake up anymore. It is always above 100 but a few hours later it is in the 80s and 90s.
@@bi7235 Wow this is exactly what is happening to me. I was waiting for the doctor to explain but he didn't.
Yes untill now noone is explaining why there's a Higher blood sugar when first wake up , then later when you still didn't break your fast

I am a type 2 diabetic who has been on keto and intermittent fasting for awhile. I am not overweight. My blood sugars were still too high at 130 to 150 after 12 hours. I've found that resistance training with heavy weights for just ten minutes a day has brought my blood sugar down at least 25 points or probably a lot more. Resistance training is huge for me. Thanks for all of your wonderfully presented and clear to understand information, Dr. Eckberg!
130 to 150 is not high sugar
@@bilaljan321 After 12 hours, I agree with Daniel that those are high numbers. Just because some people have much higher numbers doesn't mean those aren't damaging over time.
This is really good to hear. I recently wondered about that possibility because it's known that the ability of the body to process glucose deteriorates with age. I thought, what else deteriorates? Well, we lose muscle and of course, muscle is the first place the sugar is sent to for glycogen storage. So working on muscle could impact the system. I for one do NOT want to live low carb for years so I am going to work on getting some of my capacity back with weights so that I can sometimes have channa masala!
Danielducken,, awesome job on your part
@@bilaljan321 Any sugar over 140 is high sugar.
Any sugar over 140 means diabetes. There is no disputing that.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 and my A1C was over 10. I have been fasting and keeping carbs below 50/day. I did a 72 hour fast and my BG levels started at 130-140 range for the first 60 hours but then dropped to 92 but then when I started eating again they went back up to 120-130 range even after 10 hours of no eating. I’m getting very frustrated to the point where I don’t even want to eat anything anymore. But this video was encouraging knowing that I’m not in the emergency range and if I stay the path then I’ll heal. Just wanted to say thanks. You’re making a difference!
This is exactly my case. You give so much hope ! Love from India.
I'm angry that my first doctor never explained to me what was going on. After years of struggleing with the levels, I finally see a morning sugar level of 120-150. The secret is Eat Keto, Eat at noon and 4pm, dont eat too much at one time and 1hr of exercise. I still have to use insulin, but not much at all (3-5 units, 2x a day). Thank you Dr. Ekberg!!
Dr. Ekberg saved my life. I've learned from his videos about the important of intermittent fasting and followed all his advised and that changed my life dramatically. Thanks and more power! ❤️
Excellent Dr. Ekberg. My wife is experiencing this exact scenario. It has been frustrating her. Now it makes sense. Thank you sir!
That's exactly the case with me. Big thank you Dr Ekberg, and greetings from Poland. Yes, we watch you here, too 👍

Thank you! This is my life one year in w/ known outrageous diabetes. Doing low carb, OMAD. And I thought I was failing! Diabetic Dietician and GP preach the " normal " and are clueless! You really helped restore my hope today!
You Brighten my morning in an encouraging healthy way. Thank you. You make me smile 🥰
Thank you flowerfull7. Glad to hear it.😄
Great explanation Dr. Sten. Certainly fills in a few gaps in my knowledge and I'm glad that when I was diagnosed with T2D I didn't accept my Dr's advice to go on insulin to control BG levels (it didn't stop him and many others, over the 25 years since diagnosis, from trying). Lots of other things came into play with all of this but your videos have given me hope that I can get on top of this sugar addiction. I'm now carnivore and (mostly) eat less than 10gms of carbs a day.
Again and again 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Dr. Sten❤️
GOD bless you always🙏🙏🙏
He is a god man
Thank you lorna rosario. Same to you. 😄
I had a hard life between habits and work load,,I’m 65 now and retired,,I was 150 my whole life when I stoped I hit 200,my doc was worried because my levels were very elevated so I told her to give me three months and I will come back for more bloodwork because I don’t want to be pre-diabetic and high blood pressure, so I discovered this channel and took the doctors advice and I am on one meal a day I go to the gym every day and work out with weights and high intensity aerobics, my sugar went from 170 down to 88, cholesterol went form 275 to 120, I’ve lost 20 pounds Life is never felt better in my life so do you best to listen to this doctor and stick with it he is truly a gift
I had no pre diabetic, but after starting OMAD i found out my fasting tests are 102 rarely 107. While i was always under 100. So now after one month of OMAD i am confused and don't know what to do? I have lost some Kgs and life style is not bad at all.
What do you suggest should i stop the diet or how much time do you think i should continue to get the desired changed?
@@Kabeer186 what is your ultimate desire goal

I want my to decrease my fasting blood sugar to 100 or lower. Reverse the PD
@@Kabeer186 eliminate carbs and exercise
I watch you every day and you have influenced me a lot.
I'm glad I found you.
I'm still trying to figure out what situation I'm in.
When I check my blood sugar after many hours of fasting, even 24 hours or more, it comes out to be 104-1012! Never under 100!
After very heavy meals, 2 hours after large meals it puts me around 120-124!
A few weeks ago I measured my HbA1C in a microbiological laboratory and they found it at 5.4.
At 66 years old, I still haven't figured out what phase I'm in.
Thanks for your videos
It’s a good idea to have baseline labs so you can see if the numbers are moving into right direction…. It’s not a super highway speed…. that’s why it shows in A1C and fasting insulin levels. Wish you the best.
Wow, your infographics really put things into great perspective!
Thanks again. Always excited to check out a new doctor Ekberg video.
Dr. Ekberg, Thanks for this wonderful explanation. I have watched this video many times as it helped me resolve a key question. I have been doing low-carb and intermittent fasting for over a year but my fasting glucose is still in the 120-130 range and my postprandial glucose drops to 100-110. And now I know what is going on! I just need to keep on working on various aspects till I resolve my IR and get over my diabetes.
Much appreciate. Your explanations are a treasure!
*FINALLY SOMEONE ADDRESSED THIS* fasting was causing my blood sugar to go to 194 (after 6+ hours of fasting) I researched this and it’s normal, only eating makes it lower
So you have BG 190 on fasting and after eating what happens?
@@nickbardan3867 I exercise very slowly for 30 minutes and then it’ll lower to like 140, then I’ll eat a snack and things will normalize.
190 fasting is not very normal. Something is impaired definitely. Maybe you are very insulin resistant.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much for this video. I was wondering the same thing before watching your informative video. I'm 47 and get lots of exercise weekly doing Jiu Jitsu. I did not know my "healthy" diet of rice, bread and meat was poisoning me. My glucose level was 159 and my A1C 7.4 two weeks ago. I immediately cut out all cabs and sugars and today, it's around 130 when I wake up and goes down to 115ish a couple hours after meals. It's around 85 after I train which is nice. It was concerning why it was 130 fasting but now you put me at ease. You are a life saver.
God bless you Dr. Ekberg, no one explains things in as much detail as you do and I really appreciate it. Thank you!
This is great information. Health is wealth and Dr Ekberg is sharing this wealth of knowledge and saving lives. Thanks Dr.
Pasta and bread , my type 2 diabetic patient . Sends his sugars levels thru the roof .
It’s not like that ! If u eat pasta with fatty pork yes ! But if u eat pasta with sea food it doesn’t !!!
Very true and the problem is once the sugar levels goes up, you can't stop eating the pasta, bread think! You suffer to get back to normal blood sugar again, then you need to do intermittent fasting urgent and comeback to eat protein and veggies! I know, been there trying eating this foods that made me ill and a diabetic type 2 long time ago. Doesn't work and I decided to forget pasta, bread, rice of any kind exist, for my own health!
Relief to hear this information!!Thank you!!🌹👍👍

You are the best, doc. Thank you so much for what you do.
Thank you, thank you and thank you. IR for 12 years. I've been two meals a day with between 20 and 50 carbs per day for 15 months, logging my meals and BG testing. This video answered many questions I've been asking. 3 months ago I had the best A1c, triglycerides in years.

Thank you Dr Ekberg!! I started keto and 17 hr IF 4 months ago, with slow progress. Then I measured my morning glucose and was a bit worried as it was over 100 - I had never had a fasting glucose that high. I think you have explained what is going on. I am/was probably quite insulin resistant although my BMI was still “normal” and no diabetes. I will stick with the program. All of your information is fascinating and wonderfully presented. Thank you again.
what is your program bro .. plss share it to me. thank in advance.
Excellent in the detail. Exactly what I was hoping to hear.
Incredibly interesting Dr Ekberg..Have learnt so much watching your videos. Gives you so much information to be happy and healthy 😄
I did notice this as well. My level would be 130-140 on keto, and I would eat, very little to no carbs, and my level would go to 105-115. I've been on keto for about 8 months and I've seen my numbers go down. Exercise will keep them around 100. I'm 60 and about 8 months ago it was discovered my level was elevated, so I took control. It was a learning curve, but it makes perfect sense.
Alternate day fasting for a few weeks normalized my BG. I had the dawn phenomenon when doing OMAD.
Thank you, Dr. Sten Ekberg, as always, very informative and educational... Love all your videos, it has helped me a lot... Take care😍💗
Thank you so very much for these videos, Dr. Ekberg! They are helping me truly understand the underlying dynamics of my diabetes and how to better execute measures that will help me get my numbers in line. My various doctors have never taken the time to explain this information and just want to push statins on me at this point. My husband and many other folks I know have dealt with really bad results with statin drugs and I really do not want to go there. Now I truly understand why I need to stop the excess sugars and refined carbs. Clean it up, try to space out my meals and live a better life. At 70, I just found out through a heart cath that I do not have a 70% blockage of my native coronary artery, which was indicated on a cardiac CT erroneously, but only have a 20% blockage instead! I want to do all I can to get this under control through diet and thanks to you, I am learning how to do it. You really rock!! and thank you for being so generous with you time and filling us in with the truth.
I have been on a low carb diet for three weeks. I am blown away by the change in energy level! I have also been watching quite a few videos of yours during that time. One subject I would like you to talk about is low carb and exercise performance. I think my legs feel heavier during exercise than they were before and would like to know why that is and will this settle. I was a healthy, normal-weight and fit individual before starting out on this diet.
This is exactly what's happening to me! I'm diabetic and use an insulin pump and I started a low carb diet back in October 2021 and then started IF in April 2022 and since then I've lost 30 pounds but my sugars have stayed up when I fast because I started weening away from the insulin pump because it keeps weight on I noticed and retains IR. My longest fast was 2 days and 4 hours and my sugars stayed at around 135 would not not come down any lower. I started to use insulin pump to make adjustments and then take it off. I think I should just not use going forward and stick to keto. I became a diabetic at 37 and I'm 52 now. I've read a lot on how insulin keeps weight on.
It also contributes to fatty liver.
Thank you so much for this video 💕
@ Dr Ekberg, the information you provide is so good thank you so much. You explain information in such a clear manner.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I really need this. My sugar level is high and i am trying low carb now and lost some weight. Stress eating and depression is driving my insulin crazy this pandemic. I hope i can still reverse to normal sugar level.
You have inspired me to work on my self.It is just a month and I can see changes. I just hope I can do if for a long haul as I have every co - morbidity Diabetes ,Hypothyroidism and High blood pressure.
Thank you! This was awesome!
Thank you DR.EKBERG...always looking forward to your sooo intersting and important health videos..I would give this title to you our great HEALTH CHAMPION DR EKBERG!!👍
I get more information watching this than I do my doctors. Wish I could actually have a one on one talk with you as I am a full blown diabetic on insulin struggling to get a grip of my high A1cs seemingly with no help or directions. I am stuck between eating enough, maintaining energy and weight, yet not eating enough to supply me with the energy needed and trying to keep my sugar levels or spikes down from eating. I seem to have an average of only 4-5 good hours a day then fizzle into no energy, fatigue and the end of my day. My daily intake of total carbs is less than 80. I could go less but my energy levels drop even more.
Your analogies are perfect. So easy to understand and drive the point home. Thank you. I’m type 2 and working to heal without medication.
It was Doctor Oseiwe who cured me from Asthma, you can also get in touch with him on TH-cam channel Doctor Oseiwe, if you need help and be cured completely🇬🇧🇬🇧
You’re such a Blessing thank you for Serving 🙏❤️🇬🇾
You explain things so clearly, thank you so much
I am type 2 diabetic watching and listening to you speak the truth about naturopathy and holistic medicine. Dr. Sten, many thanks, keep up with the good work of keeping in touch, and may God bless us all to continue to work together, even though to the end, ENDURING together to come back to where we belong! WWG1WGA!!! Semper fidelis Patriots. 🇺🇸🇳🇫🇺🇸
Where we go 1 we go all 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You’re videos are so great! Thank you for sharing this valuable info. Off topic, you recently posted a survey asking what makes keto difficult, but my experience, which I think might be true for others, was not included. What I miss most when trying to eat Keto is the crunch of eating chips and the sense of texture when eating things like bread and pasta. Keto foods make me feel satiated, but they don’t satisfy those other “needs.” I hope this is useful. Thanks, again!
I found cheese chips , i love whisps, and they are awesome. I even dip them in onion cream cheese. It feels like cheating and gives me crunchy food. I know there are recipes for making homemade ones but these i throw in a bag and take with me.
Roasted nuts, like almonds and pistachios, will satisfy your cravings for crunchy junk food. Pork skins are great too, and come in different flavors and are zero or near zero carbs per serving.
Super Interesting Video... As usual. Thank you very much for all your effort and investigation... Also Thanks for the time you spend researching for us... 👏👏👏
How could you downvote such an informative and useful video. Thanks Doc! This describes exactly my current situation with glucose and insulin resistance my family doctor seems to not grasp.
Because the man is a fraud... not an MD, never went to med school, has no medical credentials, no medical board certification.... he not a medical doctor... why would you or anyone else trust your health to a charlatan who pretends to be one on youtube... why does youtube allow practice of medicine by non-MDs or medical researchers? It is difficult enough to find an MD that is not skewed by attachment to big pharma et al, but to start by trusting an fake pretending to be an MD is very risky in my view, but to each his own.
yeahhhh finally I get to see the video such kind early😍😍 thanks a lot dr🧡
You are welcome Lin C. It was my pleasure 😄
I've been trying desperately to get an answer about the paradoxical morning sugars which drop I eat. I've searched high and low for an answer and then just happened to stumble upon it here! Thank you so much!
Awesome 😎... thanks dr.sten...🤗
Thank you so much! I've been doing keto and IF for 2 months with a 34 lb weight loss. I have PCOS, and instead of insulin resistance, i like to call it Hyperinsulinemia, because it's easier to really grasp the concept that way. I've just started taking my blood glucose levels, and i am also a nurse, btw. But, i was shocked to see that with fasting and clean keto, my glucose has been running 120-130 around 5 am. But i also have crazy sleep schedules, and high cortisol, which I'm also working on. But thank you for this great info! It just wasn't making sense to me. I was over thinking it, and couldn't figure out where this sugar was coming from if i was in ketosis and fasting!
😊
Thank you Dr. Ekberg you are Amazing I appreciate your videos.
Thank you Loretta Jackson. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Very interesting doc ,
Love the way you explained , simple , concise, thanks
Dr Ekberg I so much appreciate this meal plan because I always wanted an example of a keto type meal preparations . I love this video. Share more about how you make your condiments and salads! ❤️💓🙏🏾watching from South Africa ( Johannesburg)
I did enjoy the video. I have had fasting blood glucose of about 108 for a few years. I follow a keto diet and thought this would keep my fasting glucose in the 80s. So I decided, after consulting TH-cam videos, to do a variety of fasts. After my fasting efforts, I saw that my fasting glucose had started going up to 115-125! Also my cholesterol is routinely higher after fasting. I had an appointment for a doctor immediately following a two weeks fast, and seeing my cholesterol I was given a prescription for statins. At this point I am sometimes able to have fasting blood sugar in the 90s and sometimes around 110. One doctor who does fasting TH-cam videos says that during a fast one begins to use stored fats from the cells and stored sugar in the liver, which causes the odd numbers on tests.
No statins. They are proven a fake, just $$ in the doc's pocket.
I also eat mostly low carb and low sugar. My fasting glucose is 107-109 but my A1C is a 5.1. Very odd indeed. I don’t wear a glucose monitor to see what happens to my glucose after meals but def odd that my A1C is lower than my fasting glucose. I fast 16 hrs almost every day. Those numbers suggest to me that I’m probably not seeing huge blood sugar spikes after meals.
@@rzagza11 This is my experience. A1C 5.2. It sounds like you're doing pretty good.
I live in Australia and I am 63. I was diagnosed with a blood sugar of 12.9mmol/L (225mg/dl) 30 yrs ago.
After decades of Type 2 diabetes and doing what I thought was right in eating, and then stressing about not getting my sugars lower, I realised that I needed to learn more about what carbs actually are, and teaching myself to stress-less. Being of European descendance, pasta, rice and potatoes was the norm.
This year I started the Keto diet and have replaced processed flour and other foods with almond flour, increased my healthy fats and oils, walnut, almond, coconut and macadamia and loving my butter again. I went onto TH-cam and learnt how to make healthy Keto sweets and meals. Bought Monk Fruit (always had my Stevia) and so many other things, so now I can enjoy my sweet life in more than one way!
I have lost 10+ kilos (22 pounds) in just a few months and my energy levels are going great. No more burnouts.
Listening to you Doc is another step in the right direction. Thank you 👏👏👏🥰😍❤️❤️
Good work! In time you will find that you don’t even need the keto treats anymore..at least that’s what happened to me.
God bless you doctor 🙏, thanks for sharing this useful information with us.
Fantastic explanation Doc. Thanks very much.
Happens to me. Started IF and LC 2 years ago. I am now 71 and lost 65 lbs. down to 210lbs. But dawn effect still happens, but lower.
exactly my experience, fasting for 3 days and BG stayed high the whole time.
Your videos are always good!
Thsnk you for educating the people 🤗😷😇
Another fantastic and informative video. Thank you so much.
This was very timely for me. I am three weeks into keto and my ketones have stayed over 1.1 but my blood sugar has been hovering around 104-113. I have been concerned.
Ten months ago my A1C was 13.4 it's now a 7.0 thanks Dr Ekberg you are saving my life one day at a time
Amazing my A1C 6.1 What would Ido to low my A1C plss help
@@enzoliesaribara6746you have a great A1c and I believe you are absolutely on the right track
Very Good Video, Doc !
This explains a lot, thanks doctor
This has been driving me CRAZY!!! Thank you for this video. I was very worried.
Me too!!!!!
Hi. May I ask if you are diabetic?
I am not diabetic. I am now 2 months on intermittent fasting.I fast 18-20 hours daily along with exercise just (for my general health) my fasting blood sugar was always in a normal range (86 - 95)
I measured every single day since the last two months BUT just suddenly the last few days I noticed my fasting blood sugar is going up between 100- 122
and 2 hours after food it goes down between 92- 97
I am so confused why this is happening after two months of intermittent fasting and good result with my body shape and fasting blood sugar levels were good…etc I have lost 11kg.
