A lot of people want to lower their insulin resistance fast especially if they were just diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes. High insulin levels are not hard to reverse once you understand why they are high.
How Long Does It Take To Reverse Insulin Resistance? That depends on how we define Insulin resistance. Do we look only at blood glucose and A1c, or do we also consider fasting insulin and HOMA-IR?
Based on the official definition of type 2 diabetes - high blood sugar or A1c - diabetes could be reversed in weeks or months, but there would be a strong tendency for the body to go back. If we base it on actual cellular insulin resistance and how long it takes to regenerate tissues and re-establish homeostasis in the body, we could be talking years to really reverse insulin resistance.
In this video we will help you understand the different stages of insulin resistance and the underlying mechanisms that you are actually trying to reverse for lasting improvement. Learn how to reverse insulin resistance and diabetes naturally and to keep learning and continuing the journey to not only be free of symptoms and disease, but to achieve optimal health and have wellness for life..

What if I want to build up stamina and improve my endurance, which work out should I go to aside from HIIT every other day? Will just HIIT and resistance training be enough?
Dr. Ekberg, how to maintain weight on a low carb diet? Been on low carb diet for 8 months now, has become skinny and still losing weight.
Dr. Sten Ekberg I’ve been doing low carb and intermittent fasting and my A1C has gone from 9.4 to 7.0. My insulin use has gone from 40 units to 5 and I’ve lost twenty pounds. My doctor told me last week she wants to take me off of insulin. I would then be med free. I’m 59 and went thru a quad bypass two years ago and felt like my life was over. I haven’t felt this great in decades!!!
I've lost 70 pounds in a year and it took about 6 months for my fasting glucose to get under 100 and it took 9 months to stop metformin. going to have my insulin, glucose and cortisol bloodwork done in September to see what my insulin resistance is. A1c has gone from 7.1 (on max dose of metformin and trajenta) to 5.2 with no meds. Hopefully in September it is under 5. Your videos explain the mechanisms occurring in our bodies very clearly. please keep putting out relevant and important videos for us. We all need nutritional and lifestyle education. Since I started my lifestyle change and my family has seen my improvements members of my family have also committed to the LCHF lifestyle and are also seeing benefits to their health. Thanks Dr. Ekberg!
My body is SO STUBBORN
It is insane . . . When it comes to Insulin Resistance, the Internet Doctors are more tuned in, than the Doctors at the clinic. Shocking!!
Thank you Uncle Duke.
The advantage he has is a specialty, in depth studying of one field. It's too bad this wasn't a field years ago, instead it is treated as a simple disease that can be understood with little study on the side.
Not shocking... "Doctors" are getting paid to prescribe... Doesn't matter what the cause or real cure is.. I have a friend my age that will prob die from obesity and diabetes.. he eats total garbage in huge amounts and chugs it all down with diet soda.... he is on meds for all kinds of problems, gout, reflux, etc and his doctor has him convinced that nothing but medicine can help... I have tried to suggest things and he continues his ways... Sad..
The doctor in the clinic is more interested in getting you back.
Thw internet docs are solving it and gaining popularity and reputation.
They also offer you nothing that you can sue.
You follow and fail, no problem.
The clinic is a full business
"Clinical inertia" is the term.
My doctor laughed at me when I asked about stress and how it affects diabetes, she said no such thing...looking for another doctor...
Your doctor is correct blood test literally pertains to your blood
chronic stress lead to anxiety, leading to anxiety induced diabetes. also have a lot of nutrition deficiencies due top chronic stress.
Right or wrong, a doctor that laughs at a patient’s questions is a huuuuuge red flag!
Your doctor is wrong !!
There is stress hyperglycemia. It’s real, and it exists.
@@johnbrando8248It’s time to update your info because chronic stress and increased cortisol levels most definitely lead to a lot of chronic health conditions and diabetes is one of them
Since 12th February 2023,I stopped eating
1. Table Sugar
2. Rice ( All types)
3. Bakery Products ( Refined Carbohydrates)
4. Flavored Drinks ( Nescafé, Nestea etc )
5. Soda drinks ( Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta etc..)
& adapted to a 12 hour Fasting at Night.
Recorded Fasting Blood Glucose Every Morning and graphed with excel & monitored the fluctuations & managed to maintain it two months average of 96.5 mg/dl. Increased intake of Protein (Chicken, Fish, Eggs,Salmon), Olive oil & Green Leafy Veggies (Mainly Cauliflower, Beans, Okra, Brokali & Parsley). During the day I had some milk with added coffee and dark chocolates ( 50% of Cocoa made in Sri Lanka) & occasionally some curd with one or two teaspoons of Honey.
My HBA1c dropped from 9.3 to 5.7 by 12th April 2023 (Within exactly 60 days). Weight loss exactly 8kg. My BMI is exactly 22. I am so happy to bring down My HBA1c to None Diabetic level without any doctor fees, Prescription Drug Fees, Unnecessary Lab Report Fees & without time wasting.
I am planning to drop it to 5 by 12 th May 2023.
Meantime, I got my Lipid Profile, eGFR (Kidney Function Test), Complete Liver Profile, Full Blood Count & Specially the C - Peptide Report that measured the functionality of pancreas & all reports are almost perfect.
My special Thanks going to Prof. Robet Lustig, Dr.Jason Fung, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr.KenDBerryMD, Nature’s path to wellness and My wife for preparing the delicious meals without Carbs.
What all you eat in proteins and fat without carbs can you elaborate it more...Cause I need to reverse my insulin resistance in a great confusion about it plz help
@@nivexgurung6509 you do the same I did. You will definitely get outstanding results
Thanks a lot Brother for summarizing this !
Can we have millets ? Raw millets to replace rice ?
@@INDYEAH I think millet has around 76 g of carbohydrate per 100g. Lot of glucose.
@@amilaperera1 thank you so much for the response brother .. agree 100% with you ! We need to categorise the fruits as well
Dr. Ekberg, I’ve been addicted to sugar since I was a child. 48 years old now, and finally broke this addiction because of your videos about insulin. Thank you!!
How much sugar have you been having?
Same here although I'm only 5 weeks in. So I cannot legitimately say "broken the addiction". However, this is the only 5 weeks in the past 40 years I've had practically 0 sugar.
In 5 weeks I've not eaten more than 100g carb on any day, and I have had precisely 0 sugary foods or used any sugar/sweetener in any drink, and have only had small amounts of pineapple or blueberries as fruit, once daily, about 1/2 cup.
carnivore diet breaks all addictions, even if you only do it 6 months to 1 year
You are great 👍
Congratulations! You deserve a round of applause! Hang in there!
Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Berg are the kings of Insulin Resistance, my two favorite Physicians.
Yes absolutely👍👍👍😘😘😘
Dr. Jason Fung as well
Thank you Cezar Munz.
And Dr. Ken Berry
Totally
Genetics loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.
Thank you Stacey Kersting. That's exactly right. Lifestyle including mental state triggers epigenetics.
New studies show that endotoxins from wrong gut bacteria could be the or one reason for insulin resistance. Maybe it's reversable in someways
Well said.
True Story Amen 🙏
Health and Lifestyle are separate.
Health includes eating for nutrients.
Present and future sick people eat for lifestyle.
I've dropped from 245 to 215 in 2 months following your advice! Looking forward to 200lbs
So great!
30 pounds in two months? Good luck keeping that off
@@firemarshal2629 if you understood keto you’d guess that it was a lot of water in the cells.
@@rosebud040686 don't need that much water in the cells if you're not storing glycogen.
Good for you, even though weight lose shouldn't be the point.
Very informative! I’m 63 yo male.
It’s working for me. Off 4 meds now, A1c from 8 to 5.0 now. Lost 70 pounds. Keto and IF and exercising. Took a year so far but very happy about the results.
Congrats!
Good for you!!
How did you reduce your meds
Wow! Very cool, Dennis 😎. I'm 63 and just told my A1C was 8.1. I am determined to do what you and others here have done. Robert, the diabetic is NOT my new identity!
Did you take metformin while doing IF and Keto?
I AM MEDICAL DOCTOR IN PAKISTAN FOR LAST 40 YEARS,I UNDERSTOOD THINGS THROUGH UR LECTURES WHICH I COULD NOT IN LAST SO MANY YEARS,THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE INFORMATIVE VIDEOS.PLEASE KEEP IT UP.GOD BLESS WITH MOTE KNOWLEDGE.
Share your thoughts. Does Keto sound practical?
Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for commenting 🙏
Different doctors have conciousness that why i listen and watch and learn from it . Its additional knowledge . Doctor Ekberg explain it much ad possible . I am a avid listener of so many wonderful person who do their job not only to gain money but to help the whole human being Shalom
Thank you ABDUL BASHIR. 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. 😄
@@drekberg I am so glad I found your channel. I am still wondering about fasting. is it insulin resistance or fatty liver what causes me to keep gaining weight, have upper abdominal discomfort , sometimes just after drinking water. Sooo bloated most of the time! Where to start to heal myself!
I’ve done things right my whole life, gave birth and raised five healthy babies to adulthood, maintained my weight and and figure, and have never been on medication...the reason is because I’m literally terrified of entering the medical system. Unless you break a bone, medical doctors have NO IDEA what they’re doing. They are scary. Once you get under their care, you NEVER get out. Thank you Dr Ekberg for being my doctor.
Absolutely right Athena, my brother has lung disease and dementia I'm always interjecting with doctors who want to over medicate or do unessesary testing. He's 5 years off cigarettes survied covid. No more x rays with ionizing radiation. I thank god were in Florida much better here.
I've not had a health insurance policy/plan for almost 30 years (I'm 73yo). So I'm forced to take care of my body -- I'm not so good at it, but, fortunately, haven't needed hospital care since 1986. I, too, am extremely leery of American-style medical care. They're great for trauma care, but horrible for lifestyle advice. It's kinda like, MDs know just enough of the health maintenance lingo to be a danger to others. A fulsome understanding of health maintenance is sadly not in their pharma toolshed. They are transactional technocrats. I can't beat them up about it. It's always been that way, going back hundreds of years. As one doctor I know says it, 'Your doctor may be the nicest person on the planet; but he/she still doesn't know how to cure the common cold.'
⁰
Excuse me it’s Dr Ekberg. He’s excellent and I recommend his teaching to all the diabetic patients I examine.
If you get cancer remember that you think Doctors have no idea what they’re doing and leave the hospital system for people who trust science.
How could anybody possibly give this a thumbs down? This knowledge is worth more than gold.
Must be the vegan cultists...lol
@@marianne1959 I’m vegan and still love him. You can do vegan keto, it’s actually pretty rad.
@Ryker Lockhart that’s a great point. That makes me feel a lot better about society.
It’s the pharmaceutical companies who don’t want us to get healthy.
you know, don't put pearls before the swine
I personally cannot believe that anybody would criticize you when you’re giving of yourself for the betterment of everybody. Thank you very much 99.9% of us appreciate you.
After 57 years of eating sugar & carbohydrates, and 40 years of consuming alcohol, went on *strict* Keto diet (with Intermittent Fasting) 6 months ago, and in just half a year my health has been transformed . . . . and still got more to go!
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for all your amazing videos!
Thank you Glenn for sharing that. I'm 57, eat healthy, no grain, no milk since I was 21, skinny, I've worked out every day for years, in certain periods of my life. I only eat what comes out of the ground, no sugar and no salt my entire adult iife. Beer is what gave me IR. It started in 2007, after a divorce, I also went into the single party scene with a lot of social friends drinking every night beer. I've been some horrible events since and deaths in the family, accidents, and left my career to care for sick parents, and just drank beer in my free time. Last year my Sister died, and I realized when my neighbor said I don't even look the same as when he met me 4 years earlier, I realized I wasn't eating, I just forgot to. I started losing strength in my legs. Today is the first day I've gone all day without a beer. My feet swelled and I got some neuropathy and redness, more in my right leg because of an accident. My right foot I smashed in 2016 is my indicator light, and I cracked that ankle in December again on stairs. I've lived on an alkaline diet for years and I am skinny, I don't eat carbs, pasta, chips, nothing in a bag, no candy or anything from a factory or in a freezer. If my electricity goes off, my diet remains the same. I haven't been sick or to a doctor in 10 years, not even for a broken foot, ankle or pulled ligaments in my knee at the gym this summer. I even think I had Covid for two months in December of 2019 coughing up phlegm and came out fine. This year my Mother died of COVID, or better said the jabs after she recovered, and I drank literally all day long this summer until I have trouble walking and now peeing. I'm at my low point, and I'm going to speed up my recovery and stop beer completely. It's the only factor there is for me, and I saturated myself this summer after she died in May and my knee laid me up for two months. I'm glad to hear in 6 months probably I will feel transformed, even if I'm not cured for more years, I can manage that with my normal diet which is alkaline and keto already.
@@AlexAquarius963 Hi Alex, so sorry for all your loss. Heartache upon heartaches. I hope you've got beer out of your life... It is so destructive to our bodies but your case, I think the worst might be that it leads to depression. Praying that you've turned the corner and things are looking up. I've been widowed 14 years, went through chemo this year and now covid positive for 10th day. My faith in the Lord Jesus keeps me going. 💞
@@AlexAquarius963 take 100mg of b1 for a few days, then switch to 25mg of b1 the mornings after you drink. This will change your life. You will get your energy back. Thiamine gets depleted by alcohol and you can only store 18 days of it in your living. Once you are depleted, you cant convert food into energy very well.
You got me beat by 20 years. lol
@@AlexAquarius963
Liver suffers even more when you don't eat when drinking alcohol because alcohol depletes B vitamins.
I've been diabetic for 10 years and I was taking 3 different meds a day and my A1C kept going up. I didn't want to go on insulin, so I started search for my own answers. In April I found TH-cam - Dr. Jason Fong and listened to his long discussions in reversing Diabetes and started eating meals with no breads, pastas, or anything with sugar. I subsequently found your channel and find it so much easier to follow. You pack alot of information in a relatively short period of time. In May my A1C was 7.9 and we had to reschedule our Dr. Appt till the end of July at which time I explained to my Dr what I was doing and he did another test and my A1C went down to 6.4. His words were WOW. I am trying the Keto/low carb diet and IF and my weight loss has been slow, but for me it is more about reversing my A1C. You are correct that everyone's experience is different. Thank you for all the understandable information that you have given those of us who are searching for a natural healthy way of healing.
Thank you Cindy Hornberger for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up! Remember A1c is a three month average, so when it drops like that you are doing much better than it shows.
Cindy, I'm at the beginning of my journey. I have tried and failed so many times.
@@oilinmylamp I was determined that I wasn't going on insulin. My weight loss is slow but forme it's all about reversing diabetes. I may have a piece of bread once every few months and I go right back. I must admit that I don't do all the counting, just eliminated sugar all bread and all pasta and sometimes depending on my schedule which is busy, I make keto deserts and meals. It is not easy so keep trying Heather!
P
Do you use a blood glucose meter to track how food reacts with your system? If you don't you should because you can pin point trends and figure out without a doubt what foods drive IR back up.
I’ve been diabetic for 33 years,poor dieting all my life,I’m tired,I’m currently taking 50 units of insulin at night plus pills. I’m losing sight on my left eye.I will start following Dr Sten tips starting tomorrow.Thank you Dr for your help.
More power to you for making baby steps toward eating better. There are good days and not so good days. It is not black or white. Give yourself grace if you have a difficult day.
I hope you’re doing better. I cut back completely or substantially on a lot of things that spiked my blood sugar, like ice cream, white potatoes, cereal, and sugary desserts. I had stopped bread at home for years now, and stopped eating white dinner biscuits and other bread items at dinners while dining at other people’s’ homes, but I would have bread on occasion, if eating at a restaurant. I also lost 9 pounds. My A1C went from 6.4 to 6.9 at my last physical, three weeks ago and I couldn’t figure out why. So, I sat down and made a list of things to eliminate completely . All items I still ate on occasion were listed:
Bread at restaurants, including sandwich bread
Restaurant croutons on salads
Tortillas and tortilla chips
Potatoes, including sweet potatoes
Pasta (which I rarely ate)
White rice
Crackers
Cookies (already reduced)
Race Trac or Menche’s Yogurt
The occasional chocolate shake
Occasional McDonalds sundae
Any fried foods
Coffee creamer containing sugar
Even those after-dinner mints at restaurants.
I’m also adding more muscle at the gym, as it helps to reduce blood sugar and A1C levels. I want to lose about 40 more pounds, as well.
Let’s see what happens. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I am very much sure that you will b cured completely. I have got so much relief though I could follow only 25 percent of his advice. Good luck
I wish you all the will one needs to take the first steps. After that the rest is easy. As you not only see results but feel better and full all the time I was doing 2mad the first 10 days but then I found myself no longer hungry for the second meal in my 6 hot window., And am Omad most days. As Dr sten tells you your body will tell you. My brain fog is gone and my energy is through the roof! Although it's possible my results were a little faster as I was prediabetic and not taking insulin yet. I have no doubt if I continued the standard American diet instead of making these changes, I would be well on my way to drs saying I had to go on insulin. I watch at least one video a day of Dr. Stens in order to keep myself on track, vigilant and hopeful. As well as absorbing the knowledge so this way can be second nature for me. If we were all walking around see through and could see the actions and reaction of foods on ours bodies, it would be so much easier to undo the many years of misdirection and misinformation on this
Why would anyone want to go back to this way of eating after realizing the damage the SAD DIET DOES
I'm Native American and am genetically predisposed for increased risk of insulin resistance. These videos are fantastic!
My husband and I have been eating the suggested foods and are down to 2 meals a day. We exercise 1 to 2 times a day by walking and bike rides. We
are also intermittent fasting. Husband Kim went from 220 to 192, I went from 198 to 184! The inches not the weight is what is even more amazing. We both sleep better. My husband slowly has stopped his statin and blood pressure meds. We have removed 90% of our sugar and bread intake and my arthritis has improved 90%. We are blessed to have found your videos and appreciate your work in presenting life saving and changing ways to eat good quality food and feel great. Thank you 😊
Great to read. Funny how your regular doctor would never give you any of this advice , but stick on more and more medication.
Very happy for you and husband ! 🫶 great job
how long did all that take?
I experienced the same thing with the joint pain its all gone now.
Thanks for sharing encouragement !
We need more accessible keto restaurants.
Thank you Lisa Lisa. That would be wonderful. If we keep asking they will appear. vote with your dollars.
Fda would never allow it.
Farmer Dude357 why
Francisco Santos the big pharmaceutical companies own the fda. This is why there is isles of sugar foods in stores and I as a organic farmer can not sell grass feed meat, eggs, and milk off my farm. Profits!
I was thinking the exact same thing a few days back. Alas couldn’t find any in my city. So making my food on my own for now.
Brought my A1C down from 7.2 to 6 in 3 months and lost 32 lbs by eliminating white everything -sugar, flour, rice, etc and swimming 4-5 times a week for an hour. Also fasting once a week and IF every day. Long way to go but feel so much better. I’m 65 and ready for a healthy “old” age!
Me to
I was morbidly obese for years. I finally paid the price. I'm down nearly 80 pounds and am no longer morbidly obese. I still need to lose weight though. My glucose readings are going down. So that is good.
You lost 80 pounds? Wow, that’s awesome. Did that cause any loose skin though?
No, it was over a year and mostly because I was nauseated from diabetes.
I can see the damage I’ve done to myself over decades of poor eating. Very sobering. But I appreciate the real world explanations.
The low fat, high carb diets that were touted for years, were so destructive to me and many others. This is the most informative and useful video and explanation I've seen.
@@adrianavram4911 not really. I ate a lot of whole grains. We are all an experiment of one. What works for you does not necessarily work for me. There is no "one size fits all." But I agree processed foods and some oils are very destructive.
.
@@adrianavram4911 usually people who are insulin resistant often are carb intolerant. Low carbs are best bc our body doesn’t efficiently process it
I agree 1000%! I believe mainstream medicine is nutritionally ignorant and made an very ignorant decision in the 1950's to tell us all (and the entire US food industry) to cut fat, eat carbs and protein and hence mainstream medicine has created an epidemic of diabetics in the USA.
If you look at the food pyramid from the Clinton years, it is the same as the one given to farmers to fatten their pigs!
That was the diet advice I had for years. It made me fat and ill and my blocked gall bladder had to be removed. The statins and blood pressure etc drugs all contain lactose and make you fat and insulin resistant with a fatty liver.
Dr Ekberg,thanks to you I no longer think of fasting and food restrictions as punishment. You've helped me realize that I don't HAVE to do this I GET to do this ,and I understand WHY it's so important to understand WHY. My goal is to be healthy and happy and NOT be a burden to my children ❤ I think that....no,I know now that this goalis within my reach, THANKS
I agree with everything in this video and have found this to work... coming from someone with type 2 and brought my A1c from a 8.3 down to 5.3 I feel I am able to comment on this from experience... I eat two means a day with 18 hours of fasting and only eat 25 grams of carbs a day... it just works! And NORMAL IS NOT NORMAL! My new normal is NORMAL!
Excellent
Congrats Brian. I did the same...took a full year to reverse my T2D. I am OMAD now mostly meat, seafood with a few veggies 2x a week. Zero sugar for a year, zzero processed , use only butter and olive oil. Never hungry any longer, tons of energy and feel 30 yrs younger at 63
@Taiwo Omotosho I eat only beef , bacon eggs and occasional salmon. Only eat veggies if we eat out at restaurant...broccoli, brussels sprouts, salad, or green beans as a side tou burger or steak.
a sofe
how long did it take you?
@@ingridjocelynab1 9 months… give or take a month
For years I’ve been trying to tell the doctors that i feel awful after a carb heavy meal to the point that I feel like I’m going to faint. All they do is looking at my fasting blood sugar. I’m over 30 and finally i feel normal with Keto.
For years and still today I cannot get a handle on my problem. I do not drink any sodas or fruit juices. Do not hardly eat any breads, cakes, cookies, candies. I keep gaining weight and look very pregnant. It is so frustrating! I will not even bother wasting my time seeing a MD. I have anxiety issues, insomnia regularly. I will start taking the 5- HTP again, instead of Melatonin.
Same
Same here keto and fasting has helped greatly!
For a year now I have been telling my doctors that I feel off. I have something that is imbalanced I feel it. I never in a million years thought about diabetes. I started gaining 5 to 7 lb a week this year I kept saying I need to go see it endocrinologist give me a referral because something is imbalanced no one listened to me. Doctors will be the first ones to say listen to your bodies now my question is why didn't they listen to me. Now I just found out that I am insulin resistant 🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️🥺😥
Stop eating meat and dairy. They cause diabetes.
This guy really knows what he is talking about
Thank you Armando Sanchez.😄
I lost 40 lb in 3 months base on your video ,no sugar no carbs no alcohol no fruits and only olive oils , no fried food and i just walked 30 min a day. Thanks to you?🙏
I have lost virtually zero weight have also included fasting and still high blood sugar it seems we are all different
No fruits?
@@RashedaF just berries and not more than a apple 🍏 smith no juice!
These are the videos I have been looking for! I really appreciate how Dr Ekberg thinks all this out ahead of time asking ALL the questions relevant to the situation and then answering them one by one. Amazing and so helpful.

4:25 may have taken 5-20 years to become insulin resistant. 9:06 may take years to reverse insulin resistance. 3-14 day repeat fasting may be necessary 10:26 takes years to change cell memory 'body weight set point' 12:12 genetic predisposition

@@malcolmscrivener8750 im not trying to be mean here and I have nothing against religious people, but I'd rather tend to be in the middle of atheist and believer.
In my opinion it's a bit arrogant to believe that either there's a god or not.
Nobody knows for sure, so me 100% believing in one side without questioning whether I might be wrong just seems... Not so smart to me
To me Keto is not a diet its' a lifestyle. I've only been on Keto for a few months and I am diabetic and have been since my early 30's and it runs heavily on both sides of my family. Since being on Keto I haven't felt this good since my 20's....I have more energy, my sugar cravings have stopped, my blood sugars are better and I've lost about 8lbs. I know I have extreme insulin resistance and that's why I haven't lost more but I'm not focused on that I'm focused on getting healthy and the rest will come.
Diabetes runs in the family because of diet. We tend to eat what we ate while young, living with our parents.
Be patient and it will get better and better, it took me about 6 months to work keto into my lifestyle without making mistakes here and there. Also to really figure out what to add back into my diet after taking a lot out of it. I am now 2.5 years into it now 72 lbs lost and feel great. Keto cookbooks are helpful to get ideas on changing things up. Good luck to you!
Keep up the good work. Itll get better and better..
@ Paula Speak - hello, it is now 02/07/2020... five months from your post. I’m on a similar situation like yours. How are you coming along wih diet /lifestyle change? How is your glucose or A1C? thanks in advance.
Paula Speak that’s right. It’s a lifestyle and I loveeeee it
The person who dislike are knowledge resistance.
Hi Dr. Sten, This is the best video by far I have ever seen on this topic. The way you explain things in layman's terms and really cover all the bases is phenomenal. I look forward to watching many more of your videos. Thank you for all you do!
Very true, should be an educational video prescribed for all pre and diabetic patients and utilized in health classes at early ages along with pics and testimonies of victims.
Dortor Ekber, just wanted to say you are a legend. I reduced A1C from 7.4 to 5.2 with keto, IF and exercise in four months. Plus I lost 20 kilos. Thanks you so much for creating these videos. I could have not achieved it without them :)
I love how the Standard American Diet is "SAD". :(
Sad also" seasonal affect disorder "
Created by the terrible food
We can now be on our way to "GLAD" - (a Great-Lifestyle-And-Diet) 😁 (I just had to throw that in) 😁
It is sad 😂
This finally explains a lot me. My parents generation didn't start getting heavy till they were in their middle age. Born in the twenties they ate very little processed food. It started in the fifties and sixties when all the junk was introduced. Fortunately our mother fed us mostly whole foods. While working full time!!!
Hey Dr.Sten I'm 77 yr old. I plan to live to 120! You are now my #1 advisor. I trust you. I'm in my 2nd year of 7 days/wk intermittent fasting (16 hr/day) 8-10work 10-11eat 11-3 work 3-4 rest 4-5 eat 5-12 fun (I dance 4 times/wk) 12-7 sleep 7-8 prep my day. I lost 36 lbs. (195 to 159) and maintained my usual high level of energy and super active life. I hang on every word you say because you makes perfect sense to me. Last week I created a club made up of 4 of my smartest retired friends. We comitted to share info. on how to grow old in good health. I just sent your podcast to them. Thanks for sharing your valuable info. Some day we will meet. My cat photo is my logo. Cheers, Byron Starr aka Pop*
7 days/wk(195 o 159)
2 years later still sound like a few hours ago! Always going back to the roots whenever I lost my way. All I can do is to thumbs up and watch any adverts as a way to thank you as i cannot get this life changing videos anywhere for free. Thanks Dr Ekberg
It took me about 4 months to drop my A1C from 6.0 to 4.6 and to loose about 40 lbs. After a year I am down 55 lbs to about what I weighed in collage (I'm 70 now). I had been insulin resistant for quite some time and I know that I probably will always have a tendency to be that way. I watch what I eat and try to stay Keto as much as I can. Every now and then I will cheat (usually at social events). I have to say that I learned so much from TH-cam doctors. I know a lot more than my everyday physician does. Unfortunately there are no physicians around my area in TN that deal with nutrition as a cure. They are all pill pushers and most of the people are extremely overweight and probably type 2 diabetic . Even some of my friends but I can’t seem to get them to understand or care.
My sister went from insulin to no insulinon Keto diet and I was impressed....so I finally listened to her and now my morning blood sugar is averaging 110 without medication. if I take medication its as low as 70
Thank you JR Moritz for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up! It is unfortunate that more doctors are not aware. Share some videos with your friends, but I believe by watching you some of them will change their habits too.
Hey, just want to say CONGRATS! I have decided to lose my 30 lbs, and am just getting started. Any tips for a beginner?
I couldn't agree more. I'm in the Chattanooga area and diabetes is almost an epidemic around here. It won't be until the health insurance providers include holistic, functional medicine practioners in their networks that it'll change. Until then, the allopathic industry will be on top.
Dr Ken Berry is in TN, has a popular TH-cam and is very good on Keto and carnivore
It took me over two years to go from 300 lbs to 210 lbs and then I tried the fasting from 6 PM until 12 PM the next day with eating a few radishes or a stalk of celery for breakfast. I started to get glucose readings in the 80's and even a couple of times in the 70's.
Thank you Frank Thompson for your comment. I really appreciate your feedback and your interaction on this channel. Congratulations on your success.
That is so encouraging
Incredible 🤞
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for all the explanations and information. My A1C just tested 5.2, down from 5.7 last year. I cut back on carbs the middle of December. That was 4 months ago. I feel much better. My joints, circulation and energy are better. I lost about 14 pounds but didn't suffer hunger eating fish, meat, nuts, peanut butter and lots of fresh vegetables. Had berries and some oatmeal.
I'm glad I found your videos before it was too late. I'm a 32 year old, male, overweight with bmi of 29, just before obesity. Started out with restricted feeding window over a week ago, manage to keep a regular schedule between 10-11 o'clock to 18-19 o'clock and have cut out anything with massive amounts of sugar and artificial sweeteners, and cut down on carbs. I also do daily morning exercises, 15min on stationary bike for a warmup before doing 10-15 min of core exercises, plus HIIT exercises at least once a week.
In April 2017 I was obese, Type 2 Diabetic, with high blood pressure and high triglycerides. By the end of September, 2017 I was at normal weight, reversed the Diabetes and lowered to normal blood pressure and triglycerides. All blood markers were normal, except liver markers were low. The liver markers took a couple years to normalize.
Within two weeks of starting my journey I was off the Metformin and blood pressure medications. I started with extended 2 day, ate one day, then 5 day extended fast. By that time I was off medications because blood pressure and glucose got too low. Followed that with 17 days eating whole fruits and above-the-ground vegetables only. I then fasted from 1 to 7 days a week, while eating low carb, high fat whole food diet. I ate zero sugar and zero processed foods during that period.
I never went back to eating processed foods, junk foods, sugar, or grains, i eat virtually none. I avoid grains like a poison.
I made a list of 23 health issues that were reversed.
From April through November 2017 I averaged 3 out of 7 days fasted.
My weight and health are maintained by eating on the low carb / keto / carnivore protein-focused diet, with daily intermittent fasting. I still occasionally do extended water-only fasts.
I am very consistent in my eating. Never will I eat the Standard American Diet again. If there is no other option, I just won't eat. I have gone as long as 10 days without eating, so missing a meal, is not an issue.
Wow... congratulations! Impressive... when you fast you are not hungry?
I had no idea how bad sugar and carbs (in the quantities I was eating) really were. Watching your videos has helped me reverse years of neglect and I'm happy too say I'm a much healthier person now. Keep up the good work doc!
I wish I had discovered you and your videos 20 years ago! However, you ARE making a HUGE difference. Finally, your telling me what I NEED to know in ways I can understand. I love how to break everything down and explain it so directly. You've helped me improve my health in MANY ways, even reversed my kidney disease and got me OFF dialysis....all because I listened to YOU. Thank you doesn't even seem to come close to repaying you. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Congratulations bud. Really happy for you.
You continue. Good results are obvious
Dr Stern, you are my starting point for this reversal process. I've pondered long enough, I love the way you take your time, your explanations you read me like a book. I want to follow you and update you on my journey to express my sincere gratitude. Be well Dr Sten.
« Madness, is always doing the same thing and expecting different results »
3 and a half years of keto for me then went low carb. As soon as bad symptoms came back I went back to keto. All went better.
My blood sugar was at 12.5. I got serious about losing weight, I was on Lantus and another insulin, and taking Metformin. I went Keto/Low Carb, added some exercise, and now I'm at 6.5 and am not taking any meds. It took two years. Everything you are sharing is very informative and as far as my research is well said. Everyone is not the same, you have to find your own balance.Thank you Dr. Ekburg for sharing your videos.
How did you reduce your meds
Did you go to the your doc, after your reading of 6.5? Did you stop taking metformin after that please
Thank you
Great video
I am 63 and very active and have worked out for more than 40 years . I have struggled a little with sugar but may have it somewhat controlled. I am on no medication but I am having prostate issues starting . Fasting and exercise is for sure the fix, but it is a challenge into today’s life. Thank you for your great simplicity in all your videos .
I'm only 21 and to recieve this at a young age is an advantage to more years .❤❤🙏bless you my Doctor
IMHO: it took me decades to "break" this body, so it will take decades to "fix" it. If there is any absolute, the sooner I start, the better. Thanks for all the options Doc.
I took decades to break it but I want to fix it in 90 days!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ineedhoez You can repair a lot of damage in three months. It will not take decades to fix it. That's ridiculous. One year of fasting and strict keto should be enough for most people. Then just continue.
with a inflamatory arthritis it took me one year of potato soup only to made it possible to eat other food without swollen joints and pain - next five year potatosoup with garlic was daily -20 years later i dont need to eat it at all
Hi. I'm from Greece.I have genetic diabitis,so I got diabitis type 2 almost 27 years ago.I' m on tablets to control diabitis and blood presuse for at least ten years.I'm 67 years old. Thanks to you ,Dr Sten Ekberg and your videos,that i'm waching on youtube,I have stoped taking my medication for diabitis and blood presure,I;m on keto diet,intermitend fasting (OMAD)and fasting for 48 hours ones a week.I was and I am exersizing every day.I'm doing 7-8 km evryday and 10-15 mountain walking every Sunday.My blood sugar is back to normal so my blood presure.Thank you very much for your great help...!!!!
Fantastic
Wow good for you... I can’t wait to stop blood pressure med ... thank you very much for sharing...
It's not genetic, that is the excuse. It's hi glycemic index foods pushed by food industry and they dont want to take accountability for it.
@makedon300 how are you now?
I saw my doc yesterday and told him I wanted the HOMA-IR test. He didn’t know what it was, looked it up and said, “yes, ok that makes sense”! In 9 weeks I’ve lost 35 pounds, and every level has come down. My A1C was 5.8 yesterday, it was 6.4, so things are headed in the right direction. Hubby is on this journey with me, with similar results. I told him, that this is our new way of life, and that we will always have to do some fasting, and simple eat less, while avoiding sugar and carbs like the plague. At least we’re in it together! Lucky there.
35 lbs in 9 weeks is incredible!! If you don’t mind answering, how much weight do you have to lose? I have 25 lbs to lose but it seems so hopeless and he makes it sound like it’ll take years 🥺
Your advice is working for me, I was 114.5 kg I am now 106 working my way to goal of 100kg. My BMI suggests I should be 90kg but working towards first goal atm. Low carb and intermittent fasting is my approach and can be hard to start with,but being more conscious of the food I'm eating I'm now making better choices. Thanks doctor love these videos would recommend to anyone wanting a better healthier life. 👍
It took mi 3.5 years of persistent “work” on my A1c 5.3 and fasting insulin 2.4...Yes it is reversible, but required a lot of discipline! Once you reach your goals, to stay there, you become smarter, and what doctor Ekberg said, you cannot eat food anymore that you get there in first place! But good news is: you don’t need it, because you are already adapted on new “food style”! I didn’t even do keto, just regular eating with low carbs without sugar with a lot of walking. My philosophy is: Whatever goes up slow or fast, to get back you need almost the same time (ask heavy truckers about speed going up or down hill)! Something else, all these kito diets are OK for people from their 35-45-50, but for us elderly, different approach is needed.Thank you doctor Ekberg for your nice explanation about things as you did in your previous videos. Great from you is: You don’t pounding people to do this or that, you just explaining difference between good and right or bad and wrong...
Ok. I need to think of it that way. I have basically been at this for 3 months and I get super frustrated. I need to be patient.
ineedhoez Yes, you do! Patiece is among highest priority of your effort!
Hello it means i have to keep taking medication 💊 while am trying to lower carbs in my diet. Thanks a lot.
@@nkelesomkanda6396 No, no, no....
You can stop medication after few weeks, but if you don’t want to take it again, you hav to quit your old eating habits! I’m not advising you, I’m not a doctor, I just telling you my own experience...😀
👍👍👍
9:50 this is the information i have been looking for ages, to remove the insulin resistance could take years
I've been losing weight on my waist, so that has me optimistic! Dr. never has said I'm pre-diabetic. been pretty low sugar, high vegie all my life. Now I'm doing IF, maybe too many vegies to be strict keto, but having good results. 5'10'', 152 lbs. 66 yrs old, going on 35!
Thank you Tengiz Cengiz. It's like the momentum of a supertanker. You can turn the rudder quickly, but it takes a long time to turn it around.
@@drekberg thanks for detailed/nuanced infos in your videos. So helpful to hear variabilities of realistic timelines to turn each unique tanker around!!! Have done strict keto and 16 to 24 hrs daily IF for 15 months and am not seeing the 'miracles' touted on other channels. Nevertheless, I'm sticking with keto bec seems slightly helpful to manage insatiable cravings/ leptin resistance? Also, some indicia of less inflammation in joints. [still lolf when I recall from another video of yours 'fat bombs are NOT a food group'!!! ] Big thanks!!!
Yes, have to stay vigilant about your resistance. Takes YEARS to heal. “No longer diabetic” doesn’t matter. Keep on ketoing! And IFing!
When I was diagnosed as diabetic I was told that it was impossible to reverse the disease and, in fact, it would always get worse. This type of medical information keeps diabetic patients in a "victim" status. It wasn't until I found some videos by Jason Fung, Eric Berg and others that I realized that there is hope and that a plan can be followed to reduce and/or reverse diabetes. I'm not quite off of insulin yet but I'm close (had a lot of stumbles along the way).
Very accurate information. I am been fighting my stubborn prediabetes for almost 2 years ( prediabetes for 2 decades without knowing. Got blood work done every year but no doctor ever mentioned). I am an active lifestyle practicing sports, tennis, swimming since young age. When getting older I walk 2 hours daily and swimming 30 laps, 5 times a week. I have the history of diabetes from mother and research constantly for a remedy. Since 2021 I started fasting from 18 to OMAD variation, daily, cut completely all refined sugar, restrict carbs as much I can. I can finally bring down blood glucose to the 80 from 118, A1C 5.2 from 5.8. But take only a couple days to jump back to the high over 110 fasted when breaking the rules. It's not a joke. High blood glucose and insulin resistant do take a long time to reverse with a proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, discipline and persistency. There is no short cuts or fast remedies.
I've been eating Keto for 3 months and my weight loss had plateaued. I started intermittent fasting and my weight loss has really taken off. I've lost 40 lbs so far (250 to 210). After a 48 hr fast, I lost 6.2 lbs. I was on a walker after having a hip replacement last August, then found out that a lot of my problem was sciatica from degenaterive disc disease. I am completely off blood pressure meds now (was on 2) and I am walking almost normally again. I go to the gym 2 or 3 days a week, and I generally feel better. I feel like I was on a downward spiral to a slow and painful death. Now I am on my way back to being a young man again. I love watching your videos as inspiration to keep going. Thank you so much!

How can we measure keto
Thanks sir
Amazing theory yes you are right. Control on appetite and second 8 to 10 hours gap duration between 2 meal or lunch and warm water like tea sipping. Thanks
I have watched this video several times. As I do with all of your videos. I appreciate all the time you put in to explaining the situation, and also all the options. Yes, people! You have to figure out " What works for you"
YOU ARE THE BEST!! I’ve been type one 45 years using insulin pump. Been an outrageous journey. Slowly changing to keto diet. Love exercise lots water. Back surgery 10 yrs ago. Will get 1/2 thyroid removed (nodules). I will never give up. Need to lose weight. 50 lbs. Thank you for being an Angel from Heaven…..❤
Also I’m almost 69 years old. I hope to make it to 70 😂❤❤
Thank you for going into detail about reversing diabetes! I’m in the stubborn category of being diabetic for 25 years (I’m 60 y/o, hispanic). Based on what your observations are, I started getting insulin resistant probably in my late teens! Yikes! My mom & dad fed us a lot of carbs: jelly donuts, tortillas, tamales, Mexican sweet bread. My A1C is still high and I’m severely addicted to carbs (aka sugar). I’ve been doing keto, on& off, and IF. I’ve got to put forth more effort 😢! I’ve lost 25 lbs and still have 20 lbs to go. My liver is fatty & I’m certain my pancreas is also. Nonetheless, I know what I need to do. No more excuses. IF and keto has helped me regain my energy and I feel strong & fit.Thank you once again for your help!! I’ve been exercising and I’m pretty active, but I see now, that my condition requires strict adherence to a healthier keto lifestyle. Forever
I spend most of my breaks watching every single video you do. Love them, thank you so much 😍🤗
Great video. Your closing point is especially important. We live in an instant gratification society. Changing your body/health is not instant. It takes time. There's no quick fix.
Thank you AZWings. That's exactly right.
Thank you for this video. It has answered so many questions I have about reversing my insuline resistance and getting my diabetes under control. I was diagnosed twenty years ago after years of thrush and ITUs. I had gestational diabetes too which seemed to disappear after delivery. I have managed to keep "goodish" control for a long time taking I gram of Metformin and using low carb diets when numbers began to shift. Now I am 75 and my diabetes nurse wants to give me another oral drug. Recently I had to have a CT scan and stopped my Metformin for 48 hours before and after. My blood glucose went way out of wack and I deperately want my next AIc to be good so I an embracing 16:8 intermittent fasting. After 3 weeks I am getting used to it and my glucose fasting readings are beginning to respond. I hope they will be good enough by June for me to be able to argue for trying to keep myself healthy through lifestyle changes. Better late than never! The good news was that my CT scan showed that my fatty liver has markedly improved as I have gradually lost weight over the past 3 years. Carol UK

Thank you Dr Ekberg. I’m so grateful I started listening to your lessons on insulin resistance and the important functions of the kidney and the liver. Won’t take those organs for granted again.
This video deserves 1 million upvotes! It is by far the best "big picture" explanation of how insulin resistance develops over time and how it is reversed over time. AMAZING big picture illustration!
So well explained. You just convinced me that I’m sick. And that I need to take more radical/dramatic mesures!! Thank you so much.
Thank you! I am so grateful for videos like this. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January 2022. In 3 months I have successfully reversed it. I just wanted to thank you for telling me the truth about the real cause of diabetes and how to overcome it. I know I'm not as healthy as I want to be and there is a lot of work left to do but now I am armed with knowledge and know it is possible to heal.
Respected sir, I have gone thtough your speeches almost every day ,followed and almost free from diabetic within 10 days from started your TH-cam video. I will remaim grateful to you sir.
It took me 2 years on a very strict keto diet to get rid of my insulin resistance. I was 70 when I started. I eat potatoes sometimes now, or beets on occasion with sardines, balsamic vinegar and olive oil (one of my favorite meals) and the occasional bread stick with cream cheese. But I have to say I feel 200% better than I did 5 years ago.
I just discovered your channel, and I appreciate how you explain all the parameters to getting healthier, in a realistic way. There are no "magic pill" statements, but thought provoking information that ultimately is my responsibility to test and adapt to my personal situation.
Thank you!
The good thing is, once you stop eating the "normal" diet and get used to eating naturally, the "normal" stuff tastes pretty gross and weird. Then you just find it bizarre how everyone else is eating lol.🙈
That is so true..... After I switched to a keto and intermittent fasting life style. The so called normal food and eating habits feel so nonsense.
Honestly
💯
This is one of the best doctors I have found on TH-cam so far
I brought my A1C down from 6.3 to 5.8. First I lost about 14 pounds. Then I started weight training & built muscle. I added things to my diet that are supposed to help insulin resistance like chia seed, cinnamon & creatine(I take 5 mg every day). I also started eating a lot of pickled food for lunch. So far, so good.
Loved this information! The thought of returning to 75+ carbs a day does not seem realistic for my personal lifestyle. I've done keto for 2 years and went even stricter when I transitioned to carnivore. Depending on my mood, I'll throw in some roasted brussels sprouts or wrap my burger in lettuce. I also have gotten used to eating one meal a day. I feel amazing but still have a long way to go. I'm most proud of my changed relationship with food.
You should be proud. Keep up the good work-you are worth it!!
I am just starting this process and your testimony is so inspiring. At the end of the day that's my goal, to change my relationship with food. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing that. I am just starting keto (1 month) and check my weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, and ketosis (pee strips.) It is quite exciting AND serves for me as very good incentive to move forward in my journey back to excellent health. I ate pretty much what I wanted for all of my life. I am now educating myself on what real food is and what is and is not going to go into my body from this day forward. I am SO glad to read testimonies like yours. Thanks again.
WOW... this is "old but good'... I have some prediabetic symptoms and am 75 years old in good health and mobility for my age! I'm so happy that TH-cam is keeping information like this online... and I've already shared this with family and friends who also complain about these symptoms... thank you...
This Dr. explains/teaches better than any person on youtube. He is excellent.
I've been studying this whole theme/videos since you began. Thanks for answering my questions before I asked them ;~)
So glad to see your arm healed so fast!
Thank you C Witham. Thanks for your support.😀
Thank you so much Dr Ekberg. This is possibly the best video I have watched on this subject and I've watched a lot. I'm 61 and started taking my type 2 diabetes seriously using a combination of diet and medication (Januvia 100mg a day) and in 2 months my blood sugar levels dropped from 13.2 to 7.2 which is incredible. I have an A1c check in 4 months time. I am intolerant to Metformin, the side effects are awful. You also get a feelgood factor from your achievements. Unfortunately exercise is difficult for me due to arthritis. Keep on rockin' in Atlanta !
One time a Dr told me I was too fluffy, but didn't educate me on HOW to lose weight. But with the help of your videos Dr. Ekberg, I have gone from 278 to 248 and I'm still doing IF and LCHP. Thank you for saving my life and educating me!!
👏👏👏 good job!
@@gennyolson2257 Thank you 🤗
Once again, this just puts information I've already heard elsewhere in a more digestible and accessbie way.
Doctor Edberg posting the video we didn't know we needed. You sir are a legend
I’m 52 and new to this way of thinking/eating. I have noticed great results in a 2 week period. Love the videos and I have subscribed.
Everything you say makes so much sense. I started watching you a few months ago. I no longer buy fruit juice - I used to drink a (small) glass - or more - every day. I eat a fraction of the fruit I used to. I buy rye or other ancient grain breads. No longer afraid of butter and cheese (though I have to resist the urge to eat them in the evening, which I'm inclined to do even if not hungry :0) ). IF 2-3 times a week; I find 18:6 easy and once managed nearly 24h without much difficulty. Coffee now almost always black. Diet Coke replaced by fizzy water with fresh lemon juice. ACV every day. Makes me feel great and the change is permanent. About 4kg down on four months ago. Thanks!
Reruns here are sometimes better understood a year later after learning a lot about all this stuff. Thanks Dr. Sten.
This channel is a GOLD MINE Thank you for these AWESOME videos 💚
Thank you Francisco Santos. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you for this video. I needed this! I'm down 12 pounds in 3 weeks with keto! And I'm going on 62 years old! I'm feeling so much better! No more heart palpitations and pain from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis is much, much less! ♥
Thank you Raini Cascadia for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up!
Thank you! I'm also pre-diabetic. Every time I ate my heart would pound. Now with keto and IF it has not happened once in 3 weeks! I'm hopeful for the future now!
This video keeps me honest🎉. Sort of AA for folks addicted to sugar. I watch this when my resolve weakens, thank you for this motivation 🎉 started 265 pounds down to 190-200. Working to reset my service point now that new body weight is steady🎉🎉
This video is reassuring. I began my no sugar low carb journey many months ago. I've just now entered ketosis after steadily reducing carbs from the diet for months. By approaching my health with a slow steady approach I'm progressing all the time, retraining the cells, resetting the body's metabolism process without shocks. Thanks Dr. E
Dr. Ekberg, I have to say this is one of the best videos I have seen on treating insulin resistance, and I have watched many. You are one of the only people that talk about maintenance. Everyone needs to watch this video. I learned some new things as well. Keep the videos coming.
I think you're brilliant, and such a good teacher. Thank you so much for what you do, what you give us in every video. Never mind the critics.
I have never seen anyone that added value to my understanding about my health. THANK YOU 😊.
I SEEN countless videos and you are the best. I hope comments like this let you understand that haters don’t matter. You are improving lives. You are saving lives. At 50 years old. I have been wrong all my life.
Thank you Pitbull University. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Thanks for this and video and the others you have posted. I have been doing 18:6 (fast for 18 hours, eat during a 6 hour window) for almost 2 weeks and have lost about 0.5lb per day. I walk about 2 hours every day and do about 30 minutes of yoga. I am planning on doing mini sprints during my walk to introduce high intensity interval training (HIIT) - something I used to do before.
Thank you, this is one of the best videos I've ever watched (and I've watched a lot) explaining Glucose and Insulin Resistance. I just bought a meter a few days ago that lets me check my Ketones and Glucose and I'm addicted to using it as a tool that helps me track whether I'm moving forward and doing the right things. Thanks again for the great information.
I love the way you think and talk, thanks. I'm insulin resistant, I'm doing low carb and keto, and intermiting fasting for about a year, I'm very happy with the results. I lost 25 lbs and my glucose is getting better and better in the morning. Fasting is critical for me, it saves my live. It is not something that happened over night.. I remember when I was around 11 years old I was a little over weight, and I decided not to eat breakfast and I went back to my normal weight in a few months. Thanks
Dr. Ekberg thank you for explaining IR so well. You are 100% responsible for helping me manage this disorder
