Thank you! Wonderful! As an analogy, we should treat carbs as fuel and the body as a machine. The latter needs maintenance like with any machine and part of the process of maintenance require proteins and the various forms of fats. Hope this make sense. God bless you all!!!
Would it be safe just to eat cucumbers and beans to flush my body out and like lentils ??
Hummingbird is that a colibrí?
Avocado is a fruit and is full of fat.
Fruitarians are usually really skinny some anorexic looking no muscles think thats a result of all that sugar hardly any protein ignorant to think thats a good idea
My brother actually went for 30 days consuming nothing but Beer. I have to say his life improved greatly. He was able to get rid of his wife AND his job and fish all day.
🤣
😂
He should do a video on it. Very inspiring
Umh! 🤭
😂😂
Not medical advise from myself nor am I discounting anything the good doctor is saying but I personally know someone went on a strict ' fruit cleanse' to deal with a health issue for 30 days. They did grapes, bananas, apples and lots of watermelon. By the end of the time they lost about 15lbs, had skin looked like a newborn baby and to this day the health issue is gone. That was about 3 yrs ago.
Too much glucose is not good too
We are more fruitarians/frugivores by nature, so it makes sense.
There's a comment above, same scenario, absolutely destroyed their strength. Took 5 months to recover...
Have they regained the huge strength loss yet?
curring illness with today,s fruits is silly.
Theory is often remarkably different from the results in practice; in practice, the more fruit people eat, the more weight they lose, the lower blood pressure and, over time, better blood sugar control they achieve. This has been borne out in numerous long-term population studies.
All I know is my brother went on a 80% fruit/20% vegetables diet for 90 days. He ate nothing but mostly fruit and some vegetables for three months, and his A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.9, his fasting blood sugar was 86, and he lost 26 pounds.
And this guys saying he couldve done the same thing drinking soda 😂 yeah right
Is the A1C dropping and his blood sugar being 86 a good thing? I started this diet today after watching an amazing video yesterday
I know Similar people many people some one is lying 🤥 it’s just not tru imo I see total opposite from results in fruitarians
Short term good, long term bad.
But how bad was his diet, body shape/ weight, when he started it?
Because if you're fat with a bad diet then switching to just veggies of course that will help ... 😉
I’ve been on a all fruit diet for 23 days now & it’s 1 of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Same I’m on day 5
@@annarborhome6042 In 10 more days maybe sooner you will feel like a totally new person…. Almost like your 18 again….all alignments if any will be gone….. …. Don’t go back take my word the last 7 days ive been back to my old eating habits & feel terrible…. Back to headaches & feeling tired throughout the day even with a full nights rest
Sounds boring asf
He said its bad for you. You only need 1 to 2 apples a day at the most. Stick with veggies and meats.
@@stafonvoncamron for some people high raw sugar fruits don't matter due to genetics. fruit only diet for short time can lose pound faster than 6x time in gym.
Fruit heals!
Our bodies run off natural fructose!!
ATP fuel!!!!

Just by eating the rice diet with a lot of fruit I got rid of my insulin resistance and my blood sugar levels got perfect. I ate 2300 kcal per day, Desk job. I felt great. My blood work is very good. No weight loss or gain for 6 months that I did the diet.
Thats very interesting!
I´m a diabetic type 1 for 24 years, since I was 12 yeas old. The last 3 years I´m on a journey trying to improve my health and possibly even get rid of the disease, even though I´m aware that the official narrative is that my pancreas will never produce insulin again. 2 years ago I decided to eat only fruits, including avocados which I love. The first 3 months were awesome. I had a lot of energy, I even lifted weights. I was not hungry all the time, but I have to admit that the avocados were helping in that regard! My insulin intake was dramatically reduced and there were a few times that I ate without even having to shoot insulin, which had never happened to me since I was diagnosed. I did not gain weight, quite the contrary I lost a lot of weight. I went from 70 kg to 51 kg. My height is 1.75.
In fact I was losing so much weight that I stopped lifting on the 4th month and eventually I was finding it hard to even carry the grocery. I had lost a lot of fat but also a lot of muscle. And that was the reason I stopped the fruit diet. I just needed to gain weight and I needed a warm meal during winter. I recently started vegetarian keto, eating veggies, eggs and cheese and so far I have similar blood sugar levels as when I was eating only fruits. But the difference is that on keto my blood sugar spikes much less.
So,from my experience, fruits are not like soda. Fruits do not promote fat storage, at least they didn´t for me. Plus, my blood glucose was on good levels. The only problem for me with the fruitarian lifestyle is that it´s not sustainable long term. I´ll see how it will go with keto.

"It's not what you eat, it's what your body does with it." It took me almost 30 yrs to learn this
Thank You DarthNoshitam 😄
Really... Lol okay
Yeah but if you give your body junk, it will process junk.. give it nutrients it will process nutrients.
what if you dont eat something lets say u fast instead of eating fries or rice...whats harmful would u think? eating that staff or not eating it at all...?it is what we eat what be become!!!!!
Its def about what you eat too not just when you eat it
There is no moment for me to should be eating a cake
I know many people say after training you need glycose and stuff, but id rather eat an apple after training and a few potatos later after training, than a cake
I follow the LCHF lifestyle...lost weight, kidney function reversed from stage 3 back to stage 1, high cholesterol back to normal, my brain fog lifted and I have much more energy.
Processed sugar is not the same as whole food sugar, maybe molecularly, but the effect of absorption makes a very significant difference. It's the little things. Vegan, keto, fruigivore... to each his or her own. Live long and prosper.
I don't have the will power to do all fruit, I'm more of a meat based guy myself, but I do know multiple people that have been eating mostly raw fruit for years and they're extremely healthy. The one who has been doing it longest is in his 60s and hasn't been sick in nearly 20 years.
I think it's worth giving it a try if you're inspired to do so. You may be one of those people that responds really well to it.
People make power points knocking every diet. Most of those diets have real value and are worth trying
Couldn't be a better day for me not to be able to sleep. You are part of the joy in my Friday. When ever I need to calm myself or go to a happy place you are one of the faces, voices and personality that I think of. All the best to you and yours Sten.
Thank You John Kane. I'm honored to be thought of that way. So glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
@@drekberg
Hey dr Sten, your videos are so informative as others have pointed out and you are such a pleasant personality and such a good serious teacher, but this appearance is spoiled by first image of your videos in which your editor ( I don't know who that is) acts like a child and sometimes portrays you as a buffon with eggs instead your eyes and broccoli as your hair. This is not what you are, you are a serious decent teacher and inside the videos are valuable information I have no idea of until I watched you. Cheers !
Dr Ekberg makes my Fridays great too!
@@interstellarkid5122 I think the broccoli hair was hilarious. Also, youtubers have learned that those kind of images gets the most views, hence they get their message more out there.
So true !!! This guy is Amazing !!🙏💪❣
Not that long ago, breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Now you better skip it.
Not that long ago, fat was the worse thing to eat and sugar wasn't that bad, now it's quite the opposite.
Not that long ago, cereals where the foundation of the pyramid, now cereals are real bad.
Not that long ago, milk was very healhty, not anymore.
Not that long ago, eggs were a no-no, too much cholesterol. Now are among the healthiest things you can eat.
Not that long ago, fruit was very healthy, now turns out fruit is unhealthy.
As time goes by, is becoming increasingly hard to believe any diet advice... let's see what they say in ten years.
Look for health advice pre-1950's food information and it will match
My grand parents ate a LCHF diet their entire life on both sides of my family. All lived either to upper 80’s or mid 90’s and were super healthy and thin. LCHF diets is the healthy diet.
That's how science work. it evolves as new research and studies are done.
For millions of years it's been LCHF. Only been flip flopping for a few hundred.
Listen to your body and take in a large variety of different foods as fresh an organic as can be and that's about the best thing you can do for yourself except believe your eating the right way... oh and don't eat unless hour hungry. Simples 😁
My triglyceride is 455. I eat very little processed sugar but I eat a lot of fruits. This video solved the mystery of my elevated triglyceride number. Thank you! Your videos are superb and informative. You are by far my favorite source of health and nutrition information. 🙏🏽
Wow
now watch the eat meat for 30 days video
My triglyceride 450 above how to reduce
@@CHANNELJD stop carbs. high trig. mostly come from too much carbs.
the liver is converting excess sugar to fat (triglyc.) and that can clog up capabilities of liver over time and buildup high trig. levels.
also fructose or HFCS (fructose syrup) does this even faster.
I'm pretty sure your triglycerides are not from the fruits. You should look into what else you are eating in addition to the fruits and the combination of those foods. Perhaps if you ate only fruit and nothing else
I went 60 days fruit only and I’m no type 2 diabetic and lost 21lbs mostly fat. The whole fruit thing is a misconception based on sugar. It’s definitely not the same as eat processed foods with sugar.
"Everyone is different".... I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 1.5 years ago. My A1c was 7.5 and blood sugar was around 165, peaking around 200. Since then I have been following Dr Ekberg and trying to control sugar and carb intake and have been largely successful (except for Christmas... ouch). My A1c was down to 6.2 and my sugar was consistently around 115. What I have found out though is that as my sugar approaches 100 I start to get sick. My doctor doesn't seem to have an explanation for it but I have to stay around 110 in order to not feel sick, shaky and sweating. Even at that number though I seem to be doing very well and feeling great. Oh and I lost 30 lbs too... thanks Dr Ekberg!
It can take a *long* time to get down to healthier normal blood sugar levels without feeling sick. Keep trying gently to stay lower carb and as your body heals and adjusts it may come around. It does not happen in a few short months of only a year and a half when you may well have been diabetic for a decade or more before diagnosis. You are doing great!
I love your videos Dr Ekberg. You explain things so clearly. Thank you 🙏
I am a Danish blacksmith 66 yrs. old 176cm. height. I started out 1. of October last year weighing in at 102Kg's. Went on (very) strict keto diet, which I am still on at this point. My weight today says 76Kg. I have not felt hungry during this period even though I eat very little, and I have experienced great mental clarity overall, and I feel like I have more energy now, than I have had over the last decade of letting myself go. I have added D-vitamin, small amounts of electric trace minerals and sparingly raw apple vinegar cider every day. I have (re-)started working out, lifting weights and treadmilling, and lately adjusted my eating toward more protein and less fat as I am now fully keto adapted. Your (and Ninja Nerd's) videos are among my most treasured and I cannot thank you enough for the work you do. Tusind tak Sten til dig og dine og masser af kærlighed fra Danmark.
Good job dude 30 kilos wow
Do you think this worked so fell becuz you had a lot of fat to metabolize ?
Do you think when youre leaned out this will still work and give you energy or eill you keep on metabolizing yourself?
@@backbone93 Hi there bb
I'm gunning for flexible metabolism going forward. I believe it worked because I stuck with strict Keto and just enuff fat to keep my body from eating all my muscles ;-)
I will focus on loosening all my tight joints, building sum muscle mass, get to around 70Kg's and eat sparingly and healthy. Thank you for asking.
Sådan💪

I drank Mean Green juice from fat sick and nearly dead which is mostly veggies 3 times a day about 48 ozs a day. for about 3 or 4 months . I never felt hungry, lost 20 lbs and fixed some lower leg vein issues and also fixed my swoilen prostrate . i loved it. I was about 60 at the time, The only fruit in it was apples.
Great video. Thank you for all the valuable information, Dr. Ekberg!
Thank you Dr Sten explaining it all so detailed and basically. I understand anything better when it makes sense to me.
Nobody gets fat from eating too much fruit....but the same can't be said about drinking too much soda. I live at Lat.15 where fruit is low hanging all year round. YUM!!
Dr Sten, you feel like home...rational, calm and thought-provoking as usual.
Thanks for a great lesson on diet. Your point on everyone being potentially different explains how some get away with terrible diets and lifestyles. This video should be required reading.
Always wise advice from you Dr. Ekberg, well organized and presented content. We, your viewers, owe you a ton of gratitude.
I love your videos. Just wanted to add that in remote places (north Canada) frozen vegetable and sometimes fruits are better than fresh one because frozen vegetables are frozen right after harvest but fresh ones spend month in refrigerator and will lose a lot of its quality. What is your opinion on that?
Thanks Dr Sten i have been eating alot of fruits recently and always feeling hungry. The video is so helpful.
I went on all fruit diet for a month it was very difficult but I heard it would cure my interstitial cystitis which caused dreadful pain and I was having to go to toilet every five minutes, within twenty four hours my bladder improved which encouraged me to stay on the diet I then added vegetables then cooked vegetables within two months my bladder was seventy five % better plus I lost two stones in weight. I then started to add normal food, my bladder is now 90% better I hope this helps people who suffer with interestial cystitis to give it a try for 48 hours.
The success you achieved could have very well been due to what you WEREN'T eating, grains, toxic vegetable oils, processed foods, added sugars, as it was really an elimination diet. Even so, glad you were able to heal yourself. 💛
@@missygee6155 you could very well be correct but after suffering about five years the hospital couldn't help and I was sent to a London hospital which tried various tablets and treatments and suggested Botox but I did some research and found the Fruit diet which changed my life for the better. I have returned to eating normally for the past five years and I am still ok, I just hope anyone suffering such excruciating pain as myself could try the fruit diet for 48 hours to see if it helps. I noticed the difference in 24 hours!
Same here... Awesome rigth?
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I'd be curious to see if going without the seed oils, grains, & excessive sugars would've had the same positive effect? I know my inflammatory markers plummeted when I went to the keto way of eating.
@@luvfunstuff2 I really don't know, I have not taken suger since I was a very small child I am a savoury person I don't care for sweet things, I use mostly butter for cooking or frying and only use olive oil for salads but no oils for frying. I only recommend fruit for 48 hours to see if symptoms improve , if they do then continue, it's a very difficult diet but I found my pain got less and less so personally it was beneficial to me but not everyone is the same.
Hey great video!! Very informative and great visual. I've done all the different diets and tried vegan ,frugavore and now after trying many diets. I've found that holistic diet works best for me, red meat, eggs, raw cheese, and fruits
Thanks Doc for sharing the good health, God bless you always.
Thanks for caring for our health Dr Ekberg, such useful info. I just retired from a stressful healthcare job! & have a little chocolate addiction, so I’m binge watching your vids & a couple other docs. Been preparing & going to do a proper fast tomorrow & then very low carb & alternate day fasting. Did it once before a few years ago & loved it. Time to grow younger haha 🥰🍳🥓🐓
I get the impression that no doctors or nurses are taught about how food effects the body, especially how fruit and sugar/fructose diet effects your health. My doctors are dumb as doornails when it comes to diet but to be fair to them they've never been taught officially so probably don't want to advise on something they don't fully know the facts about plus the vast majority of information out there is wrong. Only issue is that if this was fixed on a mass scale, sales of sugar foods would plummet and so would profits. What I'm seeing now is fizzy drink companies changing sugar and replacing it with other things which I think we will find out in 10-20 years that this is worse. Its a tough world.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for over thoroughly explaining the science of sugar and fruit on the body in a way we all can understand.
Somewhere I read that berries, and perhaps other fruit plants, pull nutrients from the soil in the last few hours of ripening, and deposit those nutrients in the fruit. Point being, the stuff in the stores that was picked early and "ripened" on its way to the store, won't have the minerals and whatever else, that the naturally-ripened fruit would have.
As always, great and informative content. 👍🏽
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for consisted on reminding all of us who loves fruit especially myself with pre diabetes conditions, I noticed if I reduced my fruits intake, and my AIC dropped from 6 to 5.4 and everything else looks great 👍 as well…. Thank you 🙏
@@GaryHighFruit Stop it cultist, no one is listening to your propaganda.
Wow, a lot of things are starting to make sense. Thank you!
I did it as an experiment. Fruitarian for February in 2018. Lost 26.5 lbs in 28 days. Seemed great on the scale. But my strength took a huge dive! My absolute strength (weights) tanked: bench press reduced from 250# to 185# (3 rep max). What was surprising was the loss in relative strength (bodyweight): Pull-ups reduced from 21 reps to 13. I thought that my pull-ups would not change since I lost so much weight. But that was not the case. Even worse, it took about 5 months to regain the strength I lost in 1 month. It was a good experiment, but won’t do that again.
I'm surprised to hear about the weight loss! (Granted, I haven't watched the video yet)
Thanks for the info.
I ate grapes and watermelon only for 30 days and lost 25 pounds. My blood pressure went from 145/105 to 120/70. I went from sleeping 8 to 9 hours a day and waking up tired to sleeping 6 hours a day and waking up energized. I understand that Dr. Ekberg pushes low carb, but it is amazing all these health experts plans work. Low carb, vegan (healthy), meat only, etc. all seem to work. The only difference I see in all of them is that keep you off the processed junk food.
@@RC-ld3cn - you know, that is an interesting point. I had very similar results as you when I started this journey (clean keto + IF). The first month it was like the weight just fell off. Makes me wonder how these various diets would work on people like us who have already lost that "easy" (initial) weight.
My plan is to stick to clean keto with fasting, and maybe even carnivore for a while. The sugar and carb addictions keep clawing back, so I can't risk feeding them with fruit.
I remember that my strength reduced slightly until about the 10-day mark when it took a dive from there, so it might be a good weight-loss strategy if done for about 3-5 days. Not nutritional or fitness advice, of course. Just personal observation. I am a little keto these days (60F/30P/10C) where my carbs are mainly from apples/dates/blueberries (my three favorites in a bowl with cinnamon, cacao powder and whole milk/cream). Have a blessed day!
You're perfectly right in all you say in this video. Thank you, this is a great lecture!
I've never heard a better explanation. 👍 I love your videos very much. You always consider all aspect. Greetings from Slovenia.
Oh, this was an excellent presentation, Dr. E! If only I had known this info back in 2010 it would have saved me over ten years of sickness, obesity and misery. I lost 108 lbs. in just over a year in 2009, but then I allowed a frugivore to convince me that I should be eating only fruit until dinner time, then raw veggies for that meal. I was quite physically fit by that time, and did pretty well with that plan for awhile, I forget how long, but probably six months at least, then I started feeling hungrier and hungrier, had the jitters a lot and just started eating anything and everything to assuage this hunger, somehow not realizing that it was the fruit (and later processed sugar and other food) that was the cause of all my problems. I lost 50 lbs. in 2015, but the same thing happened, as I was still eating too much fruit though I had cut out all processed foods. Same cycle, hungrier and hungrier, back to eating whatever because I was so starved and discouraged.
By last June I weighed just under 300 when my brother sent me a great book that explained how I should be eating FAT, something I had always cut way back on when losing weight before. This fat from meats, eggs, full fat yogurt, avocados and salmon was so satiating I was able to eat just two meals a day within a few days, and only one sometimes. Within two weeks I was able to do a weekend fast, which I did most weekends for the next six months. Since Dec. 12 I haven't done any extended fasts, just one or two meals per day, no snacks, and I am down 93 lbs. in only 8 months! Now that I have the correct info, and this way of eating is so tasty and satisfying (NO jitters, hooray!), I believe I'll never be obese and sick like that again. Fifty lbs. to go to my ideal weight, but I have no doubt I'll get there! And, I've gone from being completely sedentary, just moving from my sofa to my computer to my bed, to averaging over 10,000 steps per day since last fall. Everything you said in this video has been my experience, and 100% correct!
Hola te felicito por tus logros, podrías decirme que come en una semana .?
@@mariam.dominguez3825 I eat lots of bacon and other fatty meat and fish, all the low-carb vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, celery, as many eggs as I like, some cheese and nuts, olives and avocados. High fat, low carb foods. Lots of good recipes for this kind of eating on the internet (just look up Keto recipes). I eat crisp pork rinds and very dark chocolate for an occasional treat.
Thanks for sharing
The sugar content is what people is concerned about, but I know the body metabolizes fruit sugar in a different way.
Really interesting and well explained.
Thank you.
Greetings from France
Thanks so much for your videos. They are really well explained and easy to follow!!!
Ten months, ten stone lost, didn't think it was possible, these videos have been life changing. It did take me a long time to understand that fruit wasn't the be all and end all. I still have a weekly treat of cream, blueberries, raspberries and macadamias.
Wow.
@@Prodigious1One thanks mate, I had all but given up hope.
@@1welshdevil I'm glad that you kept going. I lost more than six stone. I regained some weight, but I'm restricting my calories again to plant based foods.
@@Prodigious1One that's so much, I think the calorie deficit is the important bit. There were times when I wanted to quit, three months of feeling so ill, took a long time to adjust. Good on you too, it's hard.
@@1welshdevil you're right. It takes a lot of determination and you have to let yourself eat what you want sometimes so you don't feel completely deprived. Then you go back to the diet the next day or week.
I love your calm clear and percise way to explain. Thank you for your work! You are a great teacher.
Excellent advice Doctor!! Thank you!!
Thank you! So important and beniftial what you shared!!
As I learn earlier fruits is 100% fructose and it directly enter liver. I take small quantity of berries. Thanks for another informative video. God blessed.
All fruits average more or less a sugar content of 50% fructose and 50% glucose (the sucrose in fruits metabolize down to fructose, so the averages come out 50/50 fructose/glucose in the end). Including berries.
Im now 65, At one point in my early 50's, I accidentally became a fruitarian for an entire summer. I had no intention to do so when i started eating just fruit. There was an abundance of fabulous delicious fruits of many kinds in the stores and i just naturally gravitated to it. Cantalopes, watermelon,oranges, grapefruits, strawberrries, peaches, plums, pears, figs, pineapple,mangos, kiwi,bananas, grapes,starfruit raspberries,,,oh my ..the variety was so enticing. There were other types too.
I didnt notice any bad feelings or mood changes, But I did eat very often.
By the end of summer, I had gained 15 pounds. I was astonished that i had gained so much weight eating "healthy fruit "
I had not thought this at the time,.but i was getting summer fat in prep for winter starvation...just like our ancestors did naturally.
Our modern Winter food supply is now stable, and we do not need to do this !
i found that it was especially difficult trying to loose that fruit weight.
I still love fruit..but im lucky that in the Keto diet, i can still enjoy my personal favorite fruits..raspberries and strawberries. The other kinds are " treats" now and I have a piece maybe once a month. Id rather have one perfect sun-ripened Peach than almost anything else in the world to eat.
Thank you for making the body's mechanisms easy to understand.
Fruitose goes to the liver where it's converted to fat.
Thanks for sharing your story.
@@poseidon3032 That's not 100% accurate. the liver converts excess glucose into glycogen (stored fat), then converts the stored glycogen back to glucose when the body needs extra fuel.
This is gold. Thank You Doctor Sten!
Thanks for the great info Dr. Sten, very helpful ...!
Wonderful breakdown of eating fruit.
Yes, I didn't know it 20 years ago...and all other simple knowledge about macro composition of our food, therefore my vegetarian journey was not so marvellous and even direction towards more fruit was not at all succesfull. I was also hungry all day long...🤦♀️😄 Thanks for telling us about your experience with fruit diet Dr Ekberg!👍🥇
Your channel and your wisdom are a real gift! Thank you very much!
Thank You gunsen73. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Another excellent presentation. Your videos should be in every high school in our country.. Thank You Dr. Ekberg
Bravo Doc. As usual you nailed this real tight! Love ya.
Thanks for putting this up. I have decided to give up fruit. I had no idea, thought eating loads of fruit was fine. Everything you said made a lot of sense. Often eat 3 apples, 2 pears, and a banana, just watching Television, thinking it's all healthy. What a load of crap. Thanks again, Dr. Ekberg.
Thanks so much for sharing, I love your videos. Before I found your channel I had followed a guy promoting fruitarian eating.
I did it for 4 months and lost 10ks. My 3 monthly bs dropped from 49 to 37. *not sure what that is in your measurements) This was the first time I was able to shift it that much. But you are right my triglycerides went sky hi. A short time off the fruit diet bloodsugars again ski hi (54) 🥺
I am now doing lchf and intermittent fasting. I am starting to feel the benefits, but have not had my bloods re done yet, so fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks again 🙏
Thank you Dr. Sten! You’re a legend!
Thank you for all of the great work you put in to your videos.
You know he is wrong, right? Like, this guy is "educated".
Thank you for trying to help so many people with your knowledge. Can you possibly speak about Moringa? I've been eating it for about 9 months and I think it's helping.
Can you please specify how is it helping you
Excellent advice, right here. 👍
I find that after giving up all the different fruits I used to eat, & just having Berries occasionally, they are really sweet now, I never noticed how sweet before. Your tastes definitely change.
TFS, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I thought I was the only one who experienced this .
I did keto for about 8 weeks and finished the cycle I had a banana for first time in ages and I thought it was sickening sweet !
I had a big greasy cheeseburger and chips with a full fat cola mmmmmm taaaaasty
Thank you. Brilliant and detailed explanation. Thank you.
Really enjoy these new-found videos, please can you give your opinion on dates and other dried fruits... thank you
Hi Dr. Sten, excellent video! I am so thankful i found your channel. It came at the best time for me. I am a marathon runner and got the huge wakeup call last year with high A1c 6.2 at my checkup. This year it only went down to 6.0 and that's when i found your channel. I have been watching your videos and learning so much!! Been doing IF low carbs, high fat for 3 weeks and slowly incorporating running and strength training back in. I've lost 4 pounds very quickly and am in the best shape ever at 46 years old!! Btw, i was having a daily high fruit smoothie before for our family and learning to add more seeds and much less fruit now thanks to you 🙏 I have a special request, can you please make a video about what are the best wholesome foods kids should be eating and what they should be avoiding? You have inspired us all to eat healthier. Thank you for all you do!!!
Just to add, because of you I've stopped giving my 3 kids rice and only giving them 1 or 2 breads a day with their breakfast. They are loving their potatoes and sweet potatoes now! And switched them to Organic Whole Milk also instead of reduced fat. Thank you so much for helping us grown ups but it would be amazing if you could add a video for growing kids soon also 🙏 We all love and appreciate you!!!
Omg this makes so much sense. I used to eat so much fruit I kept feeling worse and worse. But I thought it was healthy.
Now my digestion is better off that I dont really eat fruit.
Except watermelon, I cant seem to get enough of it lol. I love it
Thank you so much for covering the fruit topic 💝 that so true- all my life I've been thought that fruits are good for you and I loved fruits very much 😉
Great information presented in meaningful way! Many thank yous!
At 27:55 - Yep! That's me! Wanting to reverse my insulin resistance I did Keto and intermittent fasting for about 10 months (went from BMI 40 to 23) I adopted the LCHF lifestyle and developed a much more active lifestyle! (SUCCESS! Thanks Dr. Ekberg!!) Then this past holiday I figured that, after 2 years I've now got this "under control", so I allowed my self to "pig out", not only for a day or two, like I have been able to do in the past, but for the the whole holiday period! After 2 weeks I was always tired, hungry and gained a lot of weight! I thought it would be easy to just go back to my LCHF lifestyle and I would soon be back on track after the New Year! I WAS WRONG! Like an alcoholic I now struggled sticking to low carb, the cravings for carbs was intense, I was always hungry and 3 weeks later I was at BMI 30!! To get back on track I've now done 5 days strict Keto (OMAD) followed by a 48hr fast. Cravings are finally gone, my energy is back! I'm confident that I'm now finally back on track! It sure wasn't as easy as when I did this the first time!! I'm gonna stick to this until I'm back at BMI 23. Lesson learned! I'm not ever gonna allow myself to do that again!! LCHF is for me!
Thank you for sharing your set back. I totally agree with you. I’m going through it right now.
Yeah but life’s so much easier not having to worry about what to eat
Just sit down n eat at an eatery or get together. Just go to store n buy whatever, easy food even. Just toast a bagel n be out the door in morning. Grab something while out with friends or running errands.
Lchf takes up so much mind space n time.
Unless I fast 22hrs a day. Then I don’t get to join in on the eating. America is all about socializing round food. So fasting just lets me say no I’m not eating at all but it’s NOT the same.
Only my health issues make me continue eating so severely
True story, I lost 60 pounds in a year and kept it off for another year, went back to my old ways 6 months ago and gained back 40 pounds since. I had gotten rid of all my fat clothes vowing ever to go back, and ended up having to go buy new clothes since nothing fit me. I started back a week ago with IF and Keto, so far so good.
@@jeremyking3986 I can gain 10# in onnnnne week. Just did it few weeks ago. N I wasn’t super ketosis so it’s not just “water”.
#oldwomen
Be glad ur not a woman or old, both are death sentences for metabolisms.
It’ll take a month of multiple day fasts weekly and strict OMADs to get it back off
@@jeremyking3986 hard lesson !
As per Indian Ayurveda and Yogic diet perspective, eating fruits is okay, but it also tells the following
- Only one meal in the entire day
- Eat fruits and veggies that are cultivated within 100 KM radius. So, no imported fruits.
- Eat within 4 hours after harvesting.
- Eat in the afternoon when the sun is at its peak. Our digestive fire (Agni) is poportional to sun.
- Eat uncooked raw food where heat is not involved.
- Eat only with Peace of mind. Don't eat when you are emotionally upset.
Very detailed video. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you very much. I learned a lot.
Thank you so much for helping me understanding this! I was one of those who said that it's natural sugar... Yeah.. until I saw your video explaining the "difference" between sugars. I was definitely prediabetic. And I just found out from mom that dad has diabetes. They used to eat LCHF but then started to cheat and then it ran out in the sand. Now thank to that me and my sister started to eat Keto they realised that much of my dad's really bad health lately is bc of his diabetes blossomed back up.. so now they started keto too. So thank you for your awesome informational videos! 🙏
Keto is great. However, fruit sugars are entirely different from processed sugar. When you eat a fruit only diet, the way your body proccesses the sugar in fruits is entirely different to proccessed sugar. Even diabetics can benefit fro. fruit fasts as it helps to repair the pancreas if partnered with a lymphatic & kidney herbal cleanse. Never write off any lifestyle.
@@MrsBalfour2U I've been there eating a lots of fruit... and fooled my self. That was actually the cause of me getting prediabetic symptoms! Not white sugar. I quit that a long time ago, before I stopped fruits too. They all turn to glucose in the body. But ate tons of organic fruits and honey daily. Only home made food. I was in a really bad state and I almost lost all my teeths and my period cramps was out of this world!!! My hormones was going bonkers. And I know a lot about nutrition then.. I thought.. I can highly recommend professor Dr Robert Lustig explain sugars. I'm not all black and white. I eat fruits occasionally. Berries doesn't contain as much sugars as fruits so that I still eat more regularly.
@@MrsBalfour2U I still love my herbs and veggies. They're a part a keto and lowcarb diet! They doing the work for the lymphatic system.. not the fruits.
I do like fruit, I eat 2-3 pieces of fruit a day. I try to eat seasonal fruit. Thanks for this informative video. 👍
Then test your blood sugar and see what's going on🙂
Seasonal and "pieces" is OK. Especially if you have it instead of cake or other deserts. And fresh fruit is better than dried fruit, like Raisins. It's also better than jam or marmelade, It always depends what one is comparing with.
Thank you sooo much for sharing always giving great advice about eating healthy. God bless you 👍👏🙌🙏
I listened to hundreds of videos from different doctors nutritionists n what have you, truthfully I think you're the best by far.
I started eating 55% fat, 20% protein and 25% carbs about a year ago. I am currently 30lbs less then where I started and feel so much better! I also no longer eat table sugar and eat mostly made from scratch foods.
This video is the best video I have ever watched regarding fruit. It was so integrated, well communicated, and easy to grasp. Thank you Dr. EcBerg!!
Thank You Ann Watkins. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Thank you for a complete explanation of how sugar affects our body , Excellent video
I love all your videos
You are wonderful
You are awesome!! Thank you so much for the great explanation 🤗
Simply cutting carbs and sugar out of my diet has been amazing. So many problems I had begun to experience as I aged are gone now. As long as I keep my caloric intake below/at 2000, and pay attention to the amounts of carbs/sugar I eat I can keep myself on track. Surprisingly switching to stevia has had the biggest effect on me as I use only one little packet in my coffee instead of the 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar I used to. Cutting out fruit juice and drinking water instead has been the other big change that made a huge difference. Thank you Sten, for showing that it doesn't have to be a huge, complicated process to get healthier, but simple changes that can make big differences.
@@KJB0001 Pretty much, spinach and broccoli once in a while, occasionally peas, haven't had a salad in I don't know how many years.
100% monk fruit powder which is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar is a great product because it doesn't raise your blood sugars, it's 0 calories, is zero carbs, it's zero sugar but it's incredibly sweet.
Lately I have been binging out at least a little bit anyway on choc zero products which are made with monk fruit extract
This guy is the best for health and nutrition. Very straightforward and a brilliant man
I disagree
@@crxo7106 your entitled to, all subjective, do you thing lol
You must had never heard of Dr Robert Morse.
Provide a clear reason why you are led to disagree for your comment to have merit.
@@TeChNiC12s u better tellem again!!!
Thank you so very much for this intricate explanation
Very informative video Dr. Thank you
Thanks Doctor, have a nice weekend!
Thank You Terufumi Siu. Same to you 😄
I am 73, lost 45 pounds and lowered my blood sugar by following your video’s, i have watched all of your posts since I started watching in 2018. My question is, what about the Ads we see on TV touting that “red and Green” bottle that gives you all your fruits and veggies in a few capsules. What do you think?
Great lesson. Great teacher.
Thank you very much for all this explanation!😍😍😍
Thank you for your fantastic weekly advice. The hard part for us viewers is to work out where we are on the “spectrum” of health. Many of us overestimate our ‘positive’ aspects and deny or underestimate their ‘negative’ aspects of their behaviour or should I say how much more work we need to do. It must be hard for Dr Sten Ekberg to broadcast to a large range of audience’s health spectrums. That’s why we need these highly detailed explanations.

My husband and I have been keto for nearly 3 years and I am relatively fit now compared to where I was when I started my fitness journey 5½ years ago, but I still wouldn't go back to eating more carbs/fruit for exactly the reasons you mentioned, cravings and mood. I have seen a drastic improvement in my mood since starting keto.
I strongly believe that my brain was inflamed when I was eating a SAD 😢 diet.
After reading some of Dr. Daniel Amen's books, I also believe that I have ADD and have struggled with it all of my life. Keto and weightlifting really keep my symptoms in check.
I had a checkup from Dr Amen’s Clinic 10 years ago!!
@@LilCraftyNook I'm jealous. Wish we could afford to be seen at an Amen Clinic.
How do you do keto without having Period problem ? Do you refeed carbs on a week before Period ? Thanks
@@dignitytrue428 I'm not sure where you are getting your information because I've never heard of such fears.
No, keto doesn't cause women to lose their periods like veganism does. Keto rights hormonal imbalances caused by insulin resistance which results from the over consumption of carbs.
@@claires8735 Hi. I'm new in keto. I just watch Dr Mindy channel that talks about Woman on Keto may need to refeed on Carbs on the 7 days before the period comes.
Very good job. Thanks
Great topic. A big thumbs up!!!
As an athlete I admire your past, as a wise health follower your present. Thank you for the clear messages you bring on. Nice to hear about 2 fruits a day, because that is the same I do. The Dutch nutrition center even advise that, 2 fruits and 2 ounces of veggies a day. And another general Dutch wisdom: too much of something will damage you.
2oz veg? Wow, that’s hardly anything. Most recommendations are between 5 and 9 servings/day of 1c fresh or 1/2 cooked in general)
Sugar from fruit is good it’s the high fructose corn syrup that’s bad
This video reminds me of the time in high-school, when we went to Sicily for our graduation trip. My friends and I found some big, juicy, absolutely delicious Granny Smith apples at a market and bought a dozen, for snacking. Soon afterwards, we started up the Stromboli with our guide. We were supposed to stop halfway for dinner, but it ended up being a forced march to the top because we started a little late in the day and we were up against night fall (we were to camp on top - another story). The guide did not allow us to stop to eat. We got quite hungry so we ate our apples, until they were all gone. It took care of our thirst because the apples were so juicy, but it felt like someone was on the inside trying to turn our stomachs inside out. I never experienced hunger pangs like that in my entire life. Since then, I've never again eaten apples on an empty stomach.
Tack, bra jobbat, man litar alltid på dig 👍
Dr. Ekberg you are the best.
Thank you, for this amazing videos
Started January 4th following LCHF diet , 270lbs diabetic for 20 years , Really has fixed my appetite , Not hungry all the time!! Really feeling way better , Also wait is down around 249 lbs average blood sugar is down about 90 EVERY MORNING !!! lots of prayer went into this but it really has changed my life!!
First, let me say I appreciate your advice and consider it helpful … like the mark twain quote is applicable. For me, when it comes to my residual love handles and fatty liver, keto alone did not do it … and I started strictly 2 years ago 60 pounds over weight). Carnivore alone did not do it, started 1 year ago (20 pounds over weight). Mind you I have been on the same workout for a few years (biking, yoga) When I made my carbs a day only fruit (apples, blueberries), along with Kefir, in the summer of 2022 I started noticing amazing energy for workout and sleep and mental clarity. I also switched to one table spoon of honey in my coffee in the morning. I keep my two meals a day (10am to 6). I am 49 and had a high liver panel even in my 20's. My recent bloodwork and liver panel has never been as good in my life as it is today. In fact, my last wellness checkup in the fall showed the best liver panel I have ever had as an adult. My doctor is floored. In fact, I was born with a heart problem I had fixed and never got better than 130/90 on Losartan. Now, my blood pressure is 121/78. My doctor told me that it would take eating a 100 grams of fructose a day to hurt my liver and an apple only has 6-8 grams. A month ago I eliminated all seed oils from my diet and I am now noticing muscle growth I never had before. My family are astounded! I look and feel better than I did in my 20s. I get what your saying but CarnivoreMD and Dr. Anthony Chaffee are on to something. Strangely enough my arthritis has disappeared. Fruit over plants helped me and did not increase my craving. Chances are if you are always hungry you are intaking seed oils and processed foods that you think are keto friendly. My belief in God, I do believe he gave us some fruit and plants to eat in moderation … just not with a sedentary lifestyle.
