I always get a little bit of diarrhea in the first few days. Is this normal?
Missing your white board sir...lots of admiration
@@ashuranero5721 Totally normal.
@@patrickh709 Sarcasm or not?
Thank you Ashura Nero, Archana Agarwal and patrick h. Any time you change something significantly and/or quickly, the body will react. It is getting a shock so changes will happen. It doesn't really matter if it a change toward something bad or something good. Change is different. In the long run there are certain things that the body needs so just learn what they are. That's what this channel is about..😄
I’ve been keto for almost 2 years and every thing Dr Sten says has happened to me plus now I find it really easy to maintain my weight. I eat very low carbs and I weight train 4 days a week on an empty stomach each time. I have tons of energy, I’m 54 and feel 24. Keto and the gym together is the fountain of youth. Thanks Doc!
male or female?
L P male
Right there with you! 63-pretty much omad now.
Thank you • Salt Rock for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! Exercise and regular movement is NOT optional for a Health Champion. It is the stimulation that keeps the brain alive. Species that don't move don't have brains.😄
I’m 55 and into keto & intermittent fasting, 3 months now ,, I’ve never felt better 👍
"Hello health champions" is the only intro needed!
"Hello health champions!" - such a cheerful, positive greeting. I love it 😃!
Thank you Lisa M. I really appreciate your feedback. Health Champions stays, but we're evaluating the rest of the intro. 😄
@@drekberg Yeah, health champions is your catchphrase! That's all you need.
I am an MD- primary care for 30 yrs! Enjoy listening to you on my walks
I think you explain things better than med school professors !
🙏Would you consider getting rid of the chalk board- lot of stuff on it to focus
Love it
What is totally amazing about the body -- it can recover from decades of abuse in a fairly short time, once you start following the right path. There is a transition but it's amazing how quickly it can happen.
Thank you boink800. I'm so glad to hear that you understand and appreciate that. If we can reverse 30 years of abuse in 2-3 years and see positive changes in weeks or months, that is quick.😄
Excellent comment.
@@drekberg Agreed!
So encouraging. I figured I was too far into "mitochondrial decay for anything to make a difference. Now, I'm easing my way out of WAY too high of a CHO intake, & into a Ketogenoc diet. At day 3, I can feel a difference. Teaching us the REALITY - that we need to STAY WITH IT - FOR MONTHS for it to really "kick in," is very helpful. Stay the course! Slow & steady wins the race!!! What good news this is. Thank you Dr Ekberg !!
@@michelleduncan9965 One of the side effects of eating fake food is massive weight gain. Think of that unwanted fat as some horrible tumor out of control. Once you start eating real food, along with less than 50g carbs a day you will get your health and energy back. And with good health and good eating habits, comes the weight loss. Avoid fake food like the plague, always.
The longer I'm in a fasting lifestyle, the more I realize how smart you are. I revisit your videos and learn more because I understand more. Thank you
Dear Dr.Ekberg, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you .In the past three months I have been inspired by your videos to maintain a restrictive-ketogenic diet. I am 53 years old and now pre-diabetic. I went from 234lbs to now 207lbs with a goal of preventing diabetes and improve overall health and well being. Its working! I have learned so much about how unhealthy the typical American diet can be and how to achieve positive change. I always look forward to your videos.Thank you again, Respectfully, Patrick Shea
Thank you patrick shea for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you are taking charge of your health and keep learning. Keep it up! 😄
Patrick, I hope you are still doing. keto. I am a couple of years older and have been carnivore for about 8 months. It has been a journey for sure but I am turning the health boat around. If you haven’t tried carnivore yet do it!
“Hello health champions” is a staple phrase of quality educational info coming next! Please never drop it!
Yes, I love being called a health champion! Makes my day! I stsrt with dr eckberg every morning!
Thank you Игрушки и Ватрушки. I really appreciate your feedback. "Hello Health Champions" stays 😄
Love it! Cheers from Brazil😊
Because of you I lost 15 pounds just one month. First week with Keto, second week I trying IF.Then I available get into OMAD so easy. I’m so happy and appreciate you so much. Your voice is so warm , inspiring me a lot. You are my favorite Teacher ever! Love you!
You are a health champion
Hi! Wonderful! No other Channel explains WHY and HOW things happen so clearly!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Great, great job!!
Thank you Stefania Smanio. 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. 😄
He is the best!!! And a life saver!!
@@drekberg Jeg vil benytte anledningen her til å takke deg. Jeg kom over en av dine videoer rett før jul ifjor, og som mange kommenterer så forstod jeg det du snakket om. Lavkarbo hadde jeg jo hørt om, men aldri tenkte så mye over det. Jeg var overvektig, skyhøyt blodtrykk, og ganske sikkert prediabetiker. Fibromyalgi og mentalt trett. Nå har jeg mistet 35 kilo, føler meg fantastisk, det beste er at hodet fungerer, og jeg har kontroll. Fibroen er der, men tåler den bedre. Min fastlege hadde hørt om deg. Han hadde ikke sett meg på 7 mnd, og falt nesten av stolen😀. Heldigvis er han åpen for lavkarbo, og jeg skal nå møte noen av hans pasienter, og fortelle min historie, som motivasjon. Tusen takk!!
Gunn Heidi Olsen Så heldig er du som har støtten av en lege som forstår dette og står bak deg. Jeg jobber i helsevessenet i england og dette er langtifra det vanlig
True...
This is so true. after 3 weeks I felt like the character in the movie Limitless. This feeling is definitely worth the effort so stick with it for at least a month.
Just started and lost 5 pounds in 3 days. I feel amazing already. This is a game changer. thanks you for sharing your knowledge.
Dr.sten , I hope you realize that there thousands out there that appreciate your channel, knowledge, and the way you teach. I always look at your videos. I think the toughest for people like myself is breaking those old habits that we've done for years. Just wanted to thank you!
You are truly the most educational and genuine health and fitness TH-camr i’ve ever encountered.
The PowerPoint presentations with texts and visuals make learning so much easier to grasp.
Thank you Dr Ekberg!

Absolutely...detailed information and never boring.
Rock on! Thanks for all education and keep it up. Do you recommend taking kolloidalt silver?
Cheers from Danderyd, Sweden!
I've only been eating keto-carnivore for 3-4 weeks and I can tell you I'm amazed at how satiated I feel on the smallest amounts now! And I was such a binge eater before!
Discovered this channel 5 months ago and the progress since is amazing. This really works and you don't need to do everything perfect 100% of the time for it to work. You just gradually cut and replace the weak points in your diet and find what works. People have this misconception of the word "diet" like they are stepping into freezing water and hence do not make progress and give up.
I love the whole intro Doc especially the music after you say " coming right up"..for me, its some kind of a happy reminder that something very informative is coming. And i like the way you introduced your name.
I love how you explain everything so clearly and precisely in "lay" terms!
I started low carb then keto around Christmas last year. I went from 272 to 230. I even had knee surgery in January. So the weight loss is great. I feel great. Life changer for sure
What's your weight after 2 years?
@@channelchangedname 250. But I had foot surgery in April of 22 and more surgery on same foot in Jan 23. I’m just getting healthy now after 18 months of 2 surgeries on right foot covering 3 different parts of my foot. Not bad.
Keto Flu may be caused by electrolyte depletion from initial water loss. Supplementation of salt, potassium and magnesium seems to help greatly.
Thank you Positive Outlook. Absolutely😄
Right on
@@drekberg For supplementation, what would the quantity be for salt, potassium and magnesium? I have experienced cramps before (in the calf) and was wondering if 200 mg, 400 mg of magnesium would prevent. I was also trying to find out if I were to do a multi-day fast, what supplements should I take, if any.
I do this and still feel weak
I just ended my 3rd 48 hour rolling fast in one week. I was exercising like mad and lifting heavy weights 1 hour before I broke it. I had TONS of energy and NO FATIGUE AT ALL and I lost 10 lbs! I think the key is I only eat meat, eggs, and a little fruit. I'm going to go another 24 then start rolling 48 again on Monday. I'm 39 and this is literally the best I've ever felt in my life!
I thought I'd miss the intro, but I did enjoy jumping right into it.
NOW, I loved this video! I've not seen anyone produce such a concise utility for understanding a totality of the process of moving from carbohydrate dependent to fat adapted. Well done! I think it addressed and resolved some key misconceptions that often drive people from taking advantage of what low carb diets have to offer.
Also, I think you successfully catered to both:
1.) those that just want to know what they need to do to accomplish what results and
2.) those who also want to know what the body does to accomplished those results and why
within a convenient sequence. ( ;
As offered at 19:29, I would like to see a video based on such studies.
I am new to the Keto Diet and finally started it after being insulin resistant and struggling with weight my entire life. I t am very new to this and struggling to gets things 100% right but his video has been of great value to me. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!!! I will be forever grateful for your wisdom and counsel.
Fantastic information! Thank you! I'm IF & keto 3 yrs now. 58 yr old female, 5'0", 104 lbs & run 6 days a week & weekends 5--7 miles. LOVE IT!
Hi Dr Ekberg, thanks for your inspirational videos. I am Jim, 53, Scottish. I am on high bp meds and have tinnitus. I initially tried the keto diet a few months ago, lost weight but after a couple of weeks had excruciating headaches, thanks to your videos, discovered this was a mineral deffiency. I am now back on the keto diet and IF, losing weight. I am hoping to come off the bp meds and solve tinnitus as well.
This is pretty much an exact breakdown of my experience! Very nice to see the graphical explanation! Go slow in the beginning was the key for me who started of big (BMI 40) and got hungry as soon as my belly was empty. I did low carb without reducing my "maintenance" calories for 4-5 days. In my case that was 2700Cal/day which is a lot of volume in low carb (when you don't intentionally add fat to keep the calories up) and I split this to 2 meals per day. I then changed this to Keto and for the first 1-2 days I had some hunger cravings as now the volume of food was dramatically reduced. After this I found it difficult to eat as much as 2700Cal/day over 2 meals on Keto so meals naturally got smaller and I then later switched to 1 meal a day and started doing a 24hr fast once a week. In hindsight I should have taken another 2-3 days upping my fat to my low carb meals so the reducing eating volume had not been so dramatic when switching to Keto. Other than those 1-2 days of uncomfort I would say my journey to now, BMI 23, has been goal focused but otherwise effortless! Learning how your metabolism works and that you need to target your insulin resistance rather than trying to lose weight is the key to health. Thank you for your invaluable presentations Dr. Ekberg!
Thank you RTTGuy45 for sharing your story. I'm sure that your real life feed back is appreciated and will be very helpful to others. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Absolute love your videos, they’re always very much full of details unlike other short ones out there that provide less information thus creating more confusions. I hope you’ll gain much more subscribers as your work deserves it!!
Thanks for another great video! Was surprised to not see the intro even though I saw your notice yesterday. It was nice to be able to get right to the meat of the video but I happen to like your intro so I kind of missed it, lol. Either way works great for me 👍🏼
Thank you Denise A..😄 I appreciate the feedback
Everything you described is spot on!! I do IF and keep carbs between 50-70g. lost the 30lbs, exercise regularly and feel better than I've felt in years! Thank you so much for you videos!!
I can’t never get enough of this kind of physiology teaching by Dr Ekberg. Clean and easy to understand.
Miss the intro, but as always love your content. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
I have learned a lot from your videos and changed my whole life style and feel better than ever! Only then do you find out that at least 90% cannot be called food in the supermarket. In the beginning it is mainly reading labels and different (delicious keto recipes by the way). But once you get used to it, it turns out that cooking has never been so simple. The first few days I had everything you listed but already after 3 days more energy! One thing I want to tell you and your readers: the first few days I still had a phenomenon about which I have not heard anyone and which was also difficult to find. I regularly got a kind of goosebumps in different places in my body and now and then a sharp stab as if I was being stung by something. It appears to be due to the enormous dip in your glucose, neuropathic symptoms that can also occur in diabetics. Of passing nature. Actually a good sign! I ate a lot of sweet things the week before (to unlearn it haha) so maybe that played a role as well. So, who recognizes this; no worries. Thank you for your insights which have greatly improved my health! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Fantastic Video Dr. Ekberg. You have a great ability to explain a definitely complex subject in a very simple way for all to understand. Thank you!
I personally love the intros! Love how everything is explained in your videos. Love this channel....will always be a " Health Champion."💞
Thank you itsjusame. I really appreciate your feedback. 😄
@@drekberg You are so welcome! Thank YOU!💞
"Hello health champions", your intro alone is very relaxing.
Hello to the most influential health advocate for me. I hope you realize how much of a blessing you are. Thank you Dr.😇
You are so awesome, Dr. Eckberg 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you!
Thank you Random Rapper. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Love it doc, your advice has changed my life !
Very well articulated. This information is golden! He dispels a lot of misconceptions and emphasizes long-term health benefits and stable energy from providing the body with superior fuel. Love that he takes his time and doesn’t skimp on the medical & technical terminology.
I saw you performing in Barcelona Olympics (Tokyo 91 too)! I was with the Canadian team. Long time friend of Mike Smith. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge. Keep shining champ!
This guy is solid. His name, translated, is "Dr. Rock OakMountain."
Underrated Comment
Doctor Ekberg always make things become crystal clear ! In this video I saw "a part of fat and carbs metabolism mechanism". I wish one day we all can see an "overall mechanism for carbs, fat, protein metabolism", from there we have overview how foods is digested and why they are different, how fat is store, how LDL is developed !
One of the best explanations which really brings everything together, including some things that needed the responsible pathways evidenced (e.g. improvement in brain function)
Very nice explanation/presentation… thank you Doctor Ekberg 👍👍👍👍👍 Please do not stop making videos about health especially about Insulin resistance /diabetes… you help a lot of people
When you call me "Hello health champion", I actually feel proud
I love that Hello champions phrase so bad Dr. It makes me remember that I am the champion of my health. When you say coming right up I know it's so worthwhile and I can't wait to feast. I binge on your videos especially on my fasting days to remind me of why I am doing it and all the rewards im reaping in the process.
Thank you Dr.Ekberg, I´m now 7 days into keto and intermittent fasting (18/6), I´m 52 years old, 240 pounds (109kg jag är svensk så jag hoppas det blev rätt med skalan:), I now have some keto symptoms (brain fog, fatigue and some other lesser symptoms). I have increased my sodium and potassium intake, I supplement B vitamins and have just bought MCT oil. I will keep the keto going, your video helped me to keep fighting for my health. Keep up the good work Sten and thank you.
Another great video that either refreshes what I already learned or offers a new or deeper perspectives on important health issues. Love your videos and the detailed, clear explanations. As far as the new intro, frankly I miss the usual format. I found it a good idea that you introduced what the video topic was about and how to avoid the health problem (IR, diabetes etc). I think it is important to keep a successful brand format especially for the daily new viewers you have. Anyone of your subscribers who just want to get into the video, will know approximately where to fast forward to. Nee, for me this intro was just a bit too abrupt. 'Coming right up...'. I missed that 'signature'. ;-)
I miss the calm soothing intro. Puts me in the learning mood. I vote to keep the intro, it makes the channel seem more professional. But it’s up to you Mr.Ekberg, I love this channel either way!
Another great video. Thank you Dr Ekberg! Started Keto and IF about 7 weeks ago. Down 26# and feeling much better. Still learning, adjusting, and having some sleep disturbance. Also need to keep working toward lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, and lots more weight. Thanks again for all the education and inspiration! 🤗
Thank you Clare Morley for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I have been really sceptical about Keto for a long time, but watching your videos has changed my mind. I've been researching intermittent fasting which is how I discovered your channel. Too bad I had to waste hours upon hours before I found the information I needed, so much misinformation on TH-cam. I'm not overweight and never have been but I've been trying to lower my body fat percentage down to 12 - 14% for about 1year through calorie restriction and getting absolutely nowhere, even cutting out refined carbs didn't really help too much. In fact I started to crave chocolate and other sweet snacks instead when I would rarely eat these items before. I inadvertently started Keto on October 1 and my body fat percentage has gone from 18.6% to 17.7% (In 6 days!) In comparison it has taken 3 months to get from 19% to the 18.6% I was before starting Keto.
Bravo! That was a master class on ketosis.
Dr Ekberg, thank you. For everything. You have helped me, so very much. Theres so much I’d like to say, but it’s time for my walk... happy Friday.
You are welcome Amy Speece. It was my pleasure 😄
Your explanations are always succinct and educational. I love it.
Dr Sten you are a true pioneer in the field of science. Thank you for making your knowledge free for us mate. Your fan from England.
Thanks Doc,I'm here again, very thankful for all your videos. I followed your advice 3 months ago,now I'm on the happy and satisfied with my weight loss and it remains the same throughout these few months though I'm back in eating carbs 3× a week. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤. I can say that I can do HIIT without worrying now.
Thank you Jewel Beturin for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
*It's fascinating to learn how the body switches from using glucose to utilizing ketones as its primary fuel source. Understanding these changes helps me stay motivated on my keto journey!*
I lost 30 lbs in the 1st month of keto. I was 340 lbs and had to wear compression stockings to keep my legs from swelling massively. I was on 2 diuretics. I know at least 20lbs of weight loss was fluids, but it was still weight I didn't have to carry around. Keto saved my life.
Same here. My legs were swelling a lot in high carb diet. No clothes fit me. In 1 month of keto a feel lighter.
On BBC

As an Indonesian people, I'm not so fully mastered in English. That's why I often replay your videos in order to understand your explanation better. I try to understand nearly all of your related videos as much as I can. Then I begin to practice it in my daily life starting from consuming low-carb-high-fat diet for a month, goes on to intermittent fasting 18-6 for a month, and I get better and better health. My body weight downs from 82kgs to 60-62kgs, my belly circumstance downs from 102cm to 80 cm, 170 cm in height, 63 years old. What makes me amazed is the results of my blood-work. My HbA1C is 5.0; triglyseride :52; blood glucose 97; HDL 60; LDL 16; Hb 13.5 and UA 3.0. Before practicing your advices, my blood work are always above the normal treshold. It seems that I am younger and younger.
Thank you very much, doc. I will share your holostic health point of view in my simple native ways to Indonesian villagers who are often confused and frustated with their becoming worse and worse health conditions. I do hope you don't mind of that.
Thank you....
Praise the Lord. I'm going through the same with BP meds and cholesterol meds. I'm stopping gradually stopping my meds. Thanks for your comments.
WOW What an amazing explanation Dr. Ekberg. You are gifted. Yes please make a video about how long endurance athletes can benefit from a low carb diet. I am an amateur marathoner and have been in IF for over a year. I cannot believe that now I am able to do a half marathon at 85% heart rate max without glucose. There is a great audience for this topic and you being a former Olympian are the right person to talk in detail about this phenomenon. Thank you Doctor!
Hi..Dr...everything is so clear...thanks God we have a Doctor like you..
Love all your videos....so easy tp understand...thank you..i have been sharing with family and friends ❤
Thank you Rosalind Richardson. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
I really love the way how you are explaining everything.
Such a clear explanation ! Thanks Doc for explaining this ! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💫👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
It does not matter the intro..... I will watch either way! Thank you for your awesome life changing information!
Great video! I'm glad you talked some about endurance athletes. I do a lot of long hikes/runs (20 to 40 miles) in a day and I wasn't sure if my body would be able to handle low carbs for these activities. When I've been doing these long hard endurance activities, I've been switching off IF/fasting and eating more carbs that I would normally on my lower carb diet
I can't say I've ever heard of any top notch endurance athlete fasting before/during a marathon/ultra, or an Ironman, etc. In fact they are always making sure to fuel their body with food during the competition. Why is this if they don't need to?
I've been watching your videos religiously over the past 2 weeks. It motivates myself to keep going. I started a prolonged fast at 307lb. Day 12 and already down 20lb. I know a lot of it is water, but I lost a size, look healthier and have plenty of visceral fat to lose. Thanks!
I so enjoy your videos, you explain everything so clearly, thanks for all you do Dr
I love your ball by ball commentary on this. Other people who promote keto don't tell you this and when you get certain issues you tend to give up. Thanks a lot

Great video Doc, lots of great information. Also a video on the ultra runner study would be awesome.
This Channel and Dr Ekberg are a breath of fresh air. Fantastic explanations that MAKE SENSE. Ever since I found this Channel (started my journey IF/EF/ADF with Jason Fung and after that I was hooked on the science and This new way of Life) - Dr Ekberg has been a wonderful inspiration for me. He is the BEST at explaining and making things CLEAR and accessible. I recommended This Channel to friends and family (Those who speak and understand English !).
Thanks for the video:) I went on the Keto diet in a crash diet sort of way and I experienced light-headedness and would lose my balance and I also got unusually sentimental and emotional about things. This only went on for two or three weeks then I felt stronger than ever.
Thank you David C. for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Kudos to you for sticking with it. Keep it up! 😄
Yep, 2 years into OMAD intermittent fasting, and I can still train high intensity activities with powerlifting and kickboxing at 42 years young.
Johnson, whats your body fat index when you started if i may ask? Thanks!
@@m26498130 I didn't know, I only know that I weighted in 230lb@5'11" before I started intermittent fasting on a one day on, one meal a day, then eating regularly the next day. I lost 20lb by doing so within the first 3 months, and that's only when I bothered to weight myself. My goal was to become fat adaptive through intermittent fasting, not weight lost nor getting shredded, because meal prepping on a ketogenic diet is too expensive and time consuming on my budget.
Thanks sooo much, I love physical training for health n fitness....
💛💚🧡
So,pure keto for high intensity was out of the question...
🥰❤️🤎💙
Thanks to you, I can now do keto and will strive to get my body adapted...
🤩♥️🖤🤍
Thanks sooooouuuuuü, much, When you explain with such detail and back it up with science it really helps to build trust....

Thank you for the info. This is actually working for me!
Regarding the intro: it was almost like a brand to me. That being said today’s video was just fine and as informative as all the others and I’ll get used to the new format.
Thank you Robert Tengler for the feed back. We're still evaluating. Don't want something there if everyone just learns to skip it.😄
Dr. Ekberg! You are the Genius!!! Thank you so much for breaking it down in simple words.
Excellent summary, Doctor. Thank you.
You are welcome Venkata Ponnaganti. It was my pleasure 😄
Hello! You changed my life in a very good way. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge
Thanks Doc, I love your videos. It all makes perfect sense and I’ve been doing the keto lifestyle for approximately 5 months. I started IF 18/6 and now I’m trying 22/2. I’m still tired all the time and was wondering if you recommend certain supplements. Thanks
Thank you Dr. Ekberg !,,, this is by far , the best explanation I’ve heard !,,,
Thanks for the information, we need more and more understanding of how our body works. It feels like we wasted our time at school.
I am so grateful for you DR. Ekberg!!!!!
This is the best channel Is so clearly explained, I love it
You explain it so well. Thank you. I noticed last 3 years that a lot of doctors dont know much! Since 3 years i got hypothyoroid, while before i was very healthy and slim. Now gained 12 kg. Eat 2 meals a day, walk to everywhere and still dont loose weight. I am going to start keto again in the New year or do omad. So proteïn and fat is for the body the best fuel. Although i hate it having restricties in diets. I am ging to start it in the New year and will discover if i get better again
Hi Sten. I've lowered my carbs intake for 18 days now. I feel great-light, no stomach pains.I have candida and have no symptoms because of fewer carbs. Im relying on carbs from my veg intake. I would also like to lose weight but realize that it will takes months.From special testing, I learned I produce way more insulin than the average,so low carb is great . I just hope im not eating too much fat? I have 2eggs in AM with cheese & butter on it , next meal is at night veg,chicken or salmon, & a salad,. I add butter to vegs. Then later I am tuna with mayo. I very impressed by the actual results-who ever thought carbs were my enemy hahah. Maybe i can make an appointment with you in a month or so,just to get a check up. Thanks for you presentations.
This was FABULOUS!!
I'd love to see a video on ultra Marathons on low carb diets.
Thank you Priscilla Bettis. I'll probably do that soon.😄
I've heard it works.Those massive strongman/ power lifters seem to do better with carbs.But triathlon athletes can do either imho.
Dr Sten, I love all your videos and how you explain them. After teaching myself over the last 20 years, everything you say seems to line up with what I have learned and even if it didn't that would not make you wrong necessarily. I could be wrong, of course. That said, anecdotally, I don't think that high intensity explosive type athletics goes well with Keto. To clarify, I am not referring to long distance type events that are essentially glucose and fat dependent. I am referring to short explosive type movements that would use ATP and CP and some Glucose, but very little fat (obvious, we use all fuel sources at all times, just in different mixtures). In my experience, and from most other athletic people I know, is that even after months of keto and fat adaptation, the high end just isn't quite what it used to be. I am talking about "less than 10 second type explosive efforts", so sprints, jumps, anything that truly relies primarily on ATP+CP+GLUCOSE in that order. My ability to generate power on long-term keto is much less than when I am glucose dependent. I have gone keto at least 8 times in my life for 3+ months at at time, and near the end of the phase of each, I still never had top-end power at the same level. I had GREAT stable energy, I could run for hours, which lines up with everything you say, of course. But my 100M, 200M and 400M track times were at least 10% slower, if not more. So from personal experience, it sure seems like the top gear is missing, even when fat adapted. Again, not to say we can't do high intensity exercise, just that it seems to be lacking the extra gear that glucose dependency seems to have. I can't imagine football players, for example, being able to play at their best on a ketogenic diet. I'd be curious to hear why you may or may not agree with this. Not that this is complete proof, but there are many experts and even studies who echo this, which lined up with my personal experience. I would go so far as to say that my experience is the prevailing opinion on the matter, which of course, doesn't necessarily make it true. I know even in your own past videos, you seem to concede (I mean that in a positive way) that if you want to be a professional level athlete, or very high level, that you probably want to avoid low-carb or a ketogenic diet. For everyone else, including us weekend warriors, the ketogenic diet or a low carb diet is better for health. I mean, I don't believe that professional athletes or Olympians are any heathier, in fact, they may be beating up and abusing their body to a certain degree to get that few extra few percent improvement. I get that, and I agree with that. In other words, high-level athletics doesn't necessarily mean the person is healthy, or has long term health in mind.
Hello Dr. Ekberg. could you do a video on how to find a Holistic Dr.? What to look for and what questions to ask. Are all Holistic doctors versed in nutrition fasting and autophagy? Are those aspects part of the required training? I can not thank you enough for your channel it has changed my life.
Another excellent lecture. Thank you.
I’m a little over three weeks back in keto. No flu no bad side effects this time around. I started with a 3 day reset and I have a coach. I think that this is the game changer for me. She has me drinking my elect twice daily and take other supplements. I feel great and I’m down 11 pounds so far
I'm in week 2 - 12 days in. Is it normal to feel moody unfocused etc 12 days into keto? First time doing it
People need to hear this more. Great explanation
When I first started watching, i was already fasting. My fasting was for religious purposes. I was doing a 48 hr fast each week,for 7 weeks. I didn't lose weight because i ate lots of carbs. I found your videos which taught me what to eat. Since then I had to cut down on my blood pressure meds. In rwo months i went from taking 6 pills a day for BP to just one. So thanks. I continue to watch and learn.
I like so many enjoy/learn a great deal from the videos.. with this said, going back to the intro aspect, perhaps a brief intro would be nice.
Wow 🤩 SOOO glad I found you! 🙏
Wow this is so interesting, thank you Dr. Ekberg
I'm interested in the video about runners. Was wondering about their practice of carb loading before a race? Thank you Dr Ekberg!
Thank you jean nelson. I'll try to do that soon. Hi carb runners carb load the low carb runners don't.😄
Have you heard about Alessandro Medeiros who run 100 Miles without carbs after start doing carnivore? It was this month and was fantastic
Absolutely please do a video explaining more about debunking misconceptions that athletes need carbs!! You talk about not needing glycogen for sub optimal activity, but what about "optimal" like HITT?
Thank you Dad's Dishes. Then your body will break down glycogen, which you'll have some once you are adapted. I'll try to do a video on it.😄
Dr. Ekberg - MANY THANKS!!!
...I am starting my second week =)
