I am on a intermittent fasting routine for 2 years now. I lost weight, walk every day, sleep well, I am well. It changed my life for good. I was overeating before and of course the only the typical addictive highly processed food. I don't do that anymore and I thought a few years ago that would be impossible.
    The more you keep yourself healthy, the less you consume anything. And so there is no money to make of you. That's why they made the "study"...

    Dr. Ekberg, I have been doing the intermittent fasting for a little over a year now. I lost 40 pounds, but not only that - I feel much better: mentally and physically. Most of the ailments I had before are gone: my knees don’t hurt, my feet don’t hurt, I stopped snoring, I don’t have the sleep apnea any more. I ususally do 18:6. Sometimes, if I eat at social gatherings, I eat only once the next day. And one important thing: I am almost never hungry. When I eat, I eat whatever I want, but I natutally and very organically started to make choices of real food: eggs, veggies and fruit, but I also eat bread and pasta and even cake when I want. But I noticed processed food just makes me feel yucky, so I don’t eat much of it. I am behind you 100% and thank you for this wonderful channel! I do have to add that I also do physical activity once a day: walk, ride a bike or something like it for at least one hour per day. At age 50 now, I feel and look better than I did at 30! Thank you!

Before it was so difficult for me to change my eating habits, I had a sweet tooth since childhood and was pretty much addicted to sugar and processed carbs. once I got serious about IF I naturally began to make healthier food choices, it became so easy. and while I still enjoy desserts and processed foods occasionally, it’s now become a weekly choice rather than a daily habit.

    Ive been doing 18/6 IF consistently for 9 months, but not just IF, but also eating a predominantly plant based low carb diet. I am an ovo vegetarian, so I eat 2-4 large pasture raised eggs per day.
    When I started IF I had:
    Asthma
    High blood pressure (diastolic of 90)
    Gout
    Fatty Liver (ALT of 40)
    Ocular Migraines
    All driven by metabolic syndrome (fasting insulin of 15)
    I now have none of the above. My ALT is 15, my fasting insulin is 2.5. Ny a1c is 5.1 and my blood pressure is 106/69.
    I am in ketosis for 12-16 hours per day (i am not low enough carb to be a classic keto diet but because of low carbs and IF I quickly return to ketosis after eating each day)
    I walk 2.5 miles in 36 minutes every day (just got back from that walk).
    When I started I weighed 170 lbs, now I weigh 133 lbs.I am now doing weight lifting to build muscle, so I expect my weight to slowly increase, but with muscle.
    Anyone who thinks that I now have a higher probability of coronary artery disease is smoking some sort of fentanyl enhanced drug.

    I’m a type 1 diabetic that was 60 pounds over weight. My sugars and A1C were out of control. I had severe depression and anxiety, always exhausted. My liver and kidneys were struggling. My doctor wanted to just add to my growing list of medications. I declined and instead cut out all processed foods and created a well researched diet. In addition to working out I have made fasting a cornerstone of my wellness strategy. So jump to now and instead of being on the 10 medications they were pushing on me I’m only on the two required forms of insulin which I am taking at about 1/8 the dosages I was needing before I changed my habits.
    A whole food balanced diet and intermittent fasting not only changed my life, it freaking saved my life. Sadly they know there’s no money in me being well.

    Due to years of poor dietary choices, I've developed heart disease and atrial fibrillation. My heart is stented. Since learning from Sten about insulin resistance and what it causes, I've learned how to readjust my diet to low or zero carb and intermittent fasting. I feel much better and rarely need medication for Afibrillation. My weight is very good now at 9% body fat. 143 pounds at 5'10", Im narrow framed . My energy and memory both much improved. I believe Stens' elaborate teaching has much improved my quality of life and probably increased longevity. I believe this man needs to be very credited for what he is doing to alert so many lives to the many health and vitality woes caused by many of the very most common foods of our standard American diet along with his attentive dispelling of the numerous wrongful discouraging and harmfully counterproductive myths put forth by excessive conventionalist thinking of our standard medical community.

    I practice intermittent fasting, eating once every 24 hours at 21:00 for about five years, and do prolonged fasting (3-5 days) up to three times a year.
    My diet mainly consists of meat, salad, some cheese, yogurt, and EVOL. Despite my age, people say I look around mid-twenties, and I experience no inflammation, joint pain, or mental fog.
    I maintain an active lifestyle with daily walks (5-7km), weightlifting three times a week, and hiking 17-22km every weekend, all on an empty stomach.
    Might be genetics i guess(Just joking my father is type 2 diabetic).
    2 days ago, my mother mentioned a doctor on a TV show (I live in Greece) discussing "results" from "AHA research" that seemed to promote a "traditional diet". It seems better for heart health to eat voraciously and rely on drugs for damage control instead of naturally allowing our organs to rest.(sarcasm again)

    Before I discovered you I would eat mostly once a day and sometimes ate just a sandwich, sometimes not eating meat ...
    I put on a little weight and was surprised because I was consuming less calories...
    I discovered I was diabetic and had high cholesterol!
    Since following you
    I eat keto or carnivore once a day and have lost weight and was back to health quick smart....
    I only eat real food, no processed gunk now ....

      She is in denial about the impact of food on health ...
      She is heavy, looks older than her age and has so many health issues...
      We were born identical and I look 20 years younger than her, I'm not kidding!
      I'm so worried for her and sad to see her and others decline and take harmful medications when they can simply eat better and age much slower and have optimum health!

    Thanks for responding to that study and the media response! My own experience with IF is just under 2 months. I'm a 57 year old athlete who recently trained for and ran a marathon, but couldn't seem to get rid of belly fat. Coaches say that muscle glycogen stores need to be topped off before training runs, and protein powder should be consumed afterward. After learning about IF, I try to eat real foods and restrict carbs, sugars, and processed foods as much as possible. I was concerned that I wouldn't have energy for my training, but I have actually had more energy! That just blows my mind! I have dropped close to 10 lbs, which is huge for a runner, and my speed has increased! This has been my own little study and that's what matters most to me. I wish I would have done blood tests before I started IF.

Trying to lose weight after getting a diagnosis of nearly officially diabetic and I really appreciate all these videos with all the useful information, so that I can try and get a handle on what I should be doing so I don't completely tip over into full blown diabetes. Been feeling ill and very low energy for a while. Have now started to lose weight and feel better. Hoping that will be reflected in my next a1c test.

    Dear Dr. Ekberg,
    As a long-time follower who speaks Arabic, I was delighted to discover that you have added an Arabic voiceover. While I still prefer listening to your voice, having a reference for your school of practice specifically for Arabic speakers is truly valuable. Unfortunately, I have noticed a lack of awareness regarding the principles you advocate for, and as you may already understand, this lack of understanding is contributing to an epidemic of metabolic disorders within my community.
    Thank you for your dedication to spreading knowledge and for considering the needs of Arabic speakers. Your efforts are making a difference in the lives of many.
    Sincerely,
    Haitham.

    Back on the 60's I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, which explainedsymptoms I'dhad since childhood. Shortly after we were invited to the home of a retired military officer who told me in no uncertain terms that hypoglycemia was caused by not eating breakfast. But I did eat breakfast and had always eaten breakfast. I was young and confused by this very confident and impressive man. I thought he should know. My first lesson in learning people's opinions, sure as they are, might not apply to me.

Took m 8 minutes to bring me back. This year started IM fasting and then you hear David Muir saying that IM is dangerous for heart patients. In April or may I will be asking my PCP for new bloodwork. Let’s see the changes. Can’t wait. Triglycerides/HDL ratio was 1.74 in January. I want to get it down to close to 1. Cut out the (added) sugar and food from a package. Sometimes I have good days but also days when I feel more tired. I just don’t know why. I’m 5’10” & 152 lbs. Lost about 8 to 9 this year alone.

    Hi Dr Ekberg. Maybe off topic, apologies... Your content has literally changed my life for the better. Thank You so much 🙏🏻 Ive recently done some blood tests and it returned with a high lp(a) count (290). Ive done lots of self research on the topic. Three things stand out (1) Its genetic and its a 'constant' value. If you have a high value its a death sentence (2) Its a given that your risk for heart decease and stroke is much higher if your value is high. (3) There's no official medication to bring your count down. Im not fond of taking medication. Some background on myself: Im male, 44 years of age, normal bmi, exercise 5 times a week, is insulin sensitive, normal cholesterol figures (except lp(a)), practice intermittent fasting (OMAD), follow a ketogenic diet. Much appreciate how you educate us on good long term health 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Thank you very much for clarifying this! ❤ The study made - unfortunately - a front page title in one of the evening papers in Finland also. I have been watching your videos for at least two years now, and have also been on intermittent fasting or OMAD for almost as long. It's such a pity that even health care professionals have so little knowledge about healthy eating, and most of them are truly prejudiced against intermittent fasting. I went through breast cancer treatments in 2022, and my cytostate nurse was horrified when I told her about my eating chedules, so I just kept my habits to myself for the rest of the treatment period.
    I don't believe I can start educating doctors or nurses, but I recommend your splendid videos to all my family members and friends who are interested in nutrition and health.
    I didn't bother to buy the paper, as I suspected the article was just about sensation...
