Great video, however can you please point out what the downsides are of eating eggs from chickens that were given the wrong feed or were overvaxxinated? or overmedicated?
Eggs are an AMAZING healthy food. My husband went for his blood work recently. I feed him a 2 to 3 egg omelets every single morning (14-21 eggs a week). We have our own chickens and they free range plus I supplement them with very healthy vegetables every single day. His "good" cholesterol (HDL) went way up and his "bad" cholesterol (LDL) went way down and the doctors were amazed! He is 68 years old and on zero medication.
@@youseffarawila8125 Just not the cholesterol that gets "triggered" from actual poisons... but then it's NOT the cholesterol's fault - it's the poison's fault (like synthetic weedkillers).
Have pretty much eaten at least 2 eggs every morning since I’ve been an adult. I am now 76. When I was 22, I started working in a cardiac cath lab and became very aware of all the low fat, high carb recommendations being touted back then. Somehow, it both made sense to me - and didn’t. Both sides of my family were farmers. They ate a lot of eggs and meat, drank milk fresh from the cow and had vegetables from the garden. Yes, they also ate bread to soak up the juices from the meat and fried eggs. Fats were bacon grease and butter. I’ve made a graph of these people - chiefly my grandparents and their offspring. Those that stayed longest on the farm and were least affected by the depression and world wars, lived well into their 90’s. Those that moved into the city and were more affected by environmental issues, the depression, war, personal vices like smoking or alcohol abuse … had shorter lifespans, alcohol abuse taking my uncle at age 60. If eggs, and even high cholesterol, are so bad for you, why were there so many examples, 18 of 30 in my family alone, healthy and happy to such great ages? Genes? I doubt it as others who were from the same stock but who had more adverse exposures and lifestyles, as it were, succumbed to various diseases at least a decade younger. As for me, I’ve decided to keep to my farm-based ancestors way of eating and barring any extreme affects of my environment, hope to set a new record for family longevity, which currently stands at 102 years. 😉
@veronicaheaney3464 Same here, my family longevity stands at 104, I had a great-grandmother, grandmother and her 3 brothers who all lived to 104. Large family still living and all those who’ve stayed on the farm are heading in that direction. I’ve always “known” intuitively that I will live to 104 as well. I’m carnivore 1 year (& ex keto 9 years) My brother is 2 years younger than me and is obese and eats junk, as does his wife who just had a stomach bypass to lose weight (against my pleas not to) and now eats like a rabbit. Salads & low or non-fat foods. Plus processed junk. Neither of them will have a long life. It’s sad, but they won’t listen. I have a very obese aunt who I tried to help her 20 years ago to turn her eating habits around - but she got offended & wouldn’t talk to me for ages. Now she says she wishes she’d listened to me. She’s in her 80’s and even though I tell her it’s never too late, she still won’t budge. I think she’s just too wedged into her old habits to see past it. So I just focus on me and my grown up daughter.
@@vitalishus I totally understand. Some in my family hastened their own end, but others were affected by circumstance. My dad was affected by his service in the Air Force during WWII. Even with all his war wounds, he managed to keep active till age 75. But he listened when told smoking was bad for him. Others, well they went the way of fast food, alcohol and other things that did them no good at all. My sister got angry with me when I suggested she take better care of herself. She died of brain cancer when she was 55. My brother, who was born with multiple heart defects and suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since he was 19, lived a simple but whole life till he was 70. I’m the only survivor in my immediate family. It’s not like I haven’t had health issues at times, but I worked through them and am the better for it. Carnivore is definitely helping, though I cycle it with keto. Wish I’d found it 20 years ago, even earlier. Perhaps those health issues would never have occurred.
People are confused about eggs yet don't hesitate to eat all kinds of junk food and sugary drinks. I love eggs so much I can't go a day without eating at least four.
I'm totally on board with this. Eating organic eggs daily supplied by my neighbors chickens for years now as breakfast food, feeling great at 65 years of age, good blood work, healthy weight and always looking forward to a delicious morning meal that helps control my appetite throughout the day. God's perfect food for us.
i remember in the 1970.s , it was understood to not eat lots of eggs, because of cholesterol. food companies were trying to get people to eat more sugar.
My dad is still stuck on the cholesterol thing at 68-69 i cant keep track. When i could eat eggs i felt great and numbers never changed. Now I'm waiting on gallbladder removal so i can eat them again. They fill you up never let you down lol unless you have gallstones.
I remember one time I made the comment on another channel that our diet cholesterol isn't our blood work numbers. Of course a couple of people insisted I was wrong. But I've been eating three eggs a day for the past two years and I've have blood work done twice a year. I always have good numbers. One person insisted my cholesterol would probably drop more. I replied back to her that I can touch the lowest number recommended already at times. She had no answer.
And bad hydrogenated Frankenstein vegetable oils that the body tries to use to repair cell damage. The plastic is inorganic and results in patch failures, loss of insulin receptors and weak arteries because it doesn't stretch like organic living tissue real fats feed.
well done! Organic beef I would assume. In India we have been consuming GHEE for thousands of years and now research says it's one of the best fats you can have, in fact a video from Dr. Ken Berry also says that GHEE is the only dairy-derived product an adult must consume. No dairy after you are off mother's milk.
What happens if you eat 6 to 12 eggs with the yolks daily for 6 years? You reverse type 2 diabetes and hypertension. You lose 100 lbs. You lower your A1C to 5.2 from around 7.5. You reverse the need for eyeglass prescriptions on your Driver License. How do I know? I have been having between 6 to 12 eggs a day since 2018. I did all those things. Now 61 years old.
As a carnivore I eat only meat and eggs....... and ive never felt better in my life!! Sten is one of the only doctors around that advocate for REAL science in the diet
@@mr_knowitall Vegetables are useless/potentially toxic. Go for the good stuff, unless you are in the unfortunate position of having to scrounge for sticks, stems, leaves, and the like.
Started on the same diet 3 months ago, eggs, beef and butter is 80-90% of my food... i have never felt better and some issues i had are completely gone, its cracy
My mother ate 2 eggs for breakfast every single day and lived to be 94. I eat 4 eggs for breakfast every day and my triglycerides are at 32. I never fell for that nonsense about eggs. Thank you for all this information, I always learn from you, even though I know about eggs more than anyone in my circle.
Due to ulcerative colitis, I've been on a carnivore/eggs/light dairy diet for about 4 years. At 39, I'm in better shape than I have been since I was in my early 20's. I went from 9-12 meds - average 20 pills a day - to 0 on this diet. ZERO. Part of this diet has been 3-4 eggs for breakfast each day (mix of duck and chicken) with ground beef.
I'm happy that you're in better shape than you've been in since your early 20's! UC is a beast! Our diets can either be medicine or poison and it's up to us to find out individually which kind of diet works for us.
@@LilyBean82 It's a big challenge to find out which foods agree with us or not. Inflammation, in my case, being the thing to look out for. It can take 24 hours to show changes or it can take a week. Carnivore lets me set a neutral baseline then introduce foods one or two at a time to see how I react to them.
Haven’t met anyone who has eaten duck eggs. They’re quite expensive and I didn’t want to buy something I may not like. Are they anything like chicken eggs?
@@veronicaheaney3464 Very similar, but larger and more rich (both in taste and nutrition). You're correct in that they're really expensive if purchased in a store though. I get mine from a lady at a local farm here in the Midwest for around $4/dozen, but when I lived in CA it was nearly $7 for 6. So really it just depends on your situation. The taste and nutrition isn't really worth it if you're having to pay double the cost (or more).
Me too. Just had a steak, couple of eggs.. Perfect lunch after doing some squats... 4 eggs is my minimum for a day, but trying a period with higher protein and a bit less fat. Feels great so far. Actually have more energy with less fat...
I eat 4 eggs a day for lunch almost every single day since 2021. Very satisfying lunch and not hungry till dinner. Lost 44 pounds in 9 1/2 months. Kept 40 off through the years.
I eat four boiled eggs per day and fortunately I’m living in the central highlands of Vietnam where the chickens freely walk around the villages where they’re raised. The eggs are brown, rich in nutrition and taste amazing, but only cost about $1 for 10 fresh eggs. 😊
I’m happy for you, my friend. I I wish I could buy that many eggs for a buck. I’m about four bucks a dozen now, but I keep eating them enjoy that beautiful country
Wow here in Australia eggs are on average AU$8 per dozen. I buy 2 x cartons of 18 eggs per week = 36 eggs. So that’s AU$0.66 per egg! I’ve gotta move somewhere I can get some chooks of my own! 😂
I usually buy my pasteurized eggs from my friend's local farm since he feeds his hens with frozen insects, grass, and parsley. Usually about $2.50 for a dozen
I've been on the Keto diet and will stay on it forever! It's just the healthiest way to eat long term. Outstanding channel. Always the best detailed health/food advice.
On the topic of eggs. My wrists were extremely burned when a rad cap blew off. My engineer put egg whites directly on the burn after first aid was applied. The egg white took the searing pain away as long as the egg white was on the burn and there was absolutely no scaring. Hope this helps someone.
Egg whites can be used for many different purposes. Musical instruments where and are often primed just with egg yolks. Closes the wood grains and is a perfect base for varnishes.
I did this experiment for 6 months straight and with also adding either 6 strips of bacon or 2 sausage patties in additionto the two eggs. I also ate a high fat, low carb keto diet the rest of my diet. Regarding my lipid panel, before starting this, my LDL was 105 mg/dL. After 6 months, my LDL dropped to 94 mg/dL. Before starting this, my HDL was 46 mg/dL. After 6 months, my HDL increased to 79 mg/dL. My triglycerides before this were 67 mg/dL and after eating this way was 63 mg/dL.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg, You are the best health teacher on the internet. Two years ago I asked you what you recommend to eat with diabetes2. You have exceeded my expectations. And you have made my life better and healthier. I no longer have diabetes2 and I feel very good. I am a man of about 75 years and have Smoked for 60 years and consumed far too many carbohydrates, thank you and I will continue to follow you!
Thank you @user-rl2gw8wp9h. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekbergHi Dr, thank you for your educational video, I enjoy them, where does children fall in this category I mean eating eggs every day is it ok for children, and what age and how many eggs do you recommend for a day? 21:25
I have a friend that raises chickens, so I am able to get fresh eggs all the time. I eat about three a day. I am 68, in great health and very grateful for my friend! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. 💛💛
I take absolutely zero advice on nutrition from my doctors. They ALL still advocate a low fat high fibre diet. They also vehemently advise us to use vegetable oils to help avoid heart attack and stroke!!
me too... never ask a doctor about nutrition. They are trained to push pills. So, buyer beware. Also, they must follow "standard of care" to avoid lawsuits. I do not think standard of care has ever been based on anything but pills for management of symptoms for as long as possible. The longer we stay sick, yet alive, the better for pill companies.
Many years ago my Doctor said the same to me ´´Eat only the egg white´´ ...... I told him I would, but never did...!!! An egg is an egg, not only the white or the yolk...!!! Great video.
Same sir I'm stocked with clean eggs from direct farmer. I eat 5-15 daily and my skin lean clean and healthy my body composition is great too .under 10% body fat all year round❤ 40+ and eggs is my staple every day never skipped my breakfast wich is always the same.. eggs❤
I’ve been eating more eggs lately because I’m restricting my calories to lose fat and I knew eggs had quite a bit of protein while not being that high in calories, so this video is very timely and good news to me. Thanks.
I have been eating 4 eggs a day, beef, salmon, chicken, brocoli, Brussel sprouts, aragula, millet, olive oil, aromatic vinegar, apple cider, vinegar, lemon. My eye sight got better, I don't forget as many things, I went back to the gym & the progress is good. I don't feel that acute recovery pain after workouts. Not bad at 64
For decades, six (6) whole eggs are one of my go-to protein right after resistance training...only 3 to 4 eggs a day during non-training/rest days. I'm now 78 years old and I still have my six pack. Moreover, I have no health issues at all and no medications.
I don't drink expensive coffee drinks. I make a regular cup at home. I also refuse to buy a dozen eggs for $8. I will buy organic eggs for roughly $4 a dozen no problem. But I opt to buy from a neighbor who just has chickens in her backyard. Yes, she may feed them grain however, she also feeds them fruits and vegetables and they Peck bugs around the yard all summer long. So I opt for the non-organic free-range backyard chicken eggs any day over buying, even organic eggs when possible.
I sold and delivered BROWN eggs 🥚🥚🥚 for 40¢ per dozen in 1972 as a kid. Even back then I got complaints about my eggs being spoiled. You cannot please everybody. I bet I'd have takers today who would not complain because of THAT price. They'd simply discard the rotten eggs and eat the rest. A bag of Ralston Purina Layena in those days went for $8 per 40 lb bag.
I’ve been eating a free range 2 egg omelet with broccoli and cream cheese for the last 3 months. My liver enzymes are way down and I have lost over 30 pounds since Nov. Today I got a double yolk egg while listening to this video. Bonus!
One of my favorite things to eat are grass fed grass finished hamburger patties with goat cheese and over easy pasture raised egg on it, topped with home fermented sauerkraut made from red cabbage, avocado and a bit of home fermented Thai pepper hot sauce. I usually eat three for a meal.
I eat more than 6 eggs a day depending on how hard I train. My patients are surprised when I tell them that it's sugar that is causing their health problems, including their fatty liver. It's not fat intake that causes fatty liver, it's sugar intake (particularly fructose). The egg guidelines have changed but people are still scared. The sugar industry did a good job !
@@jakescakes Indeed fruts have some fructose but also fiber which mitigates the effect by delaying absorption. And fruits contain less fructose that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which is used to sweeten soft drinks and countless other processed foods. People who eat fruits may get 15 grams of fructose per day but people who eat processed food can eat 75 g and often more than 100 g.
My great-grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and for the rest of her life (12 years) went on a diet of eggs and red wine. She was sprightly to the end and quite flirtatious.
A few months ago I got 5 chickens...and getting more! I feel doubly blessed because Im getting wonderful fresh eggs every day and these girls are so fun! They make me laugh every day! 😊
My cholesterol has always been high 7.5 since my 20's. But about 16 years ago when I was around 42 I had a full body CT scan that showed all my coronary arteries were totally clean so I figured maybe I wasn't susceptible to clogging arteries. About 2 years ago I became type 2 diabetic with NAFLD and I read that eggs can help control type 2 and insulin resistance. Now I eat 3 eggs scrambled every day with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil mixed in, plus a rasher of English back bacon. My cholesterol now is the lowest it has ever been and my last blood test (the one that tests 3 months in the blood) it came back as being non diabetic.
My grandfather ate three eggs AND bacon every morning for breakfast for as long as I'm old enough to remember. He only lived 98 years. 🤔I do believe the power of suggestion is the culprit, not the eggs or the bacon. As a man thinks, so is he.
I wish I could earn more money. I eat 1-2 eggs most days and occasionally I treat myself to 4 or 5 eggs 😢. Cost of living has hit me hard but I never waste money on ultra processed food, regardless how “cheap “ it is. Eggs is the best - I love eggs.
@@pokeypickle3 Don't forget about baked potatoes with butter on top. Also, buy a slow cooker which would allow you to buy cheaper, tougher beef cuts and make them very tender. Roast beef is amazing and it's very cheap in comparison to ribeye. Make sure you are getting plenty of Vit C.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos. I respect this man immensely. 👏👏👏
This is by far the most informative health channel on TH-cam. Dr. Stem has a delivery method that makes the content easy to comprehend. Again thanks Doc. for the unselfish gift of another great video!
Anything that is a seed or an egg that can give birth to an entire creature, contains all the elements and nutrients to give you anything you need in life!
Eggs are amazing. Did you know that the yolk is designed to have the complete range of nutrients to grow a baby chick. The white, however, contains almost no nutrients but, instead, contains fungicides and antibacterial protein agents, its sole job is to protect the egg yolk and baby chick! It's one of the reasons (other than egg products being used in vaccines) some people react to egg whites but rarely the yolks.
Not every egg yolk is bright orange if pasture raised. In Poland we have breed named green legged partridge, they gave the best eggs you can imagine l, but their yolk is pale yellow and it has nothing to do with quality.
It was the cigarettes, sugars,candy alcohol which scraped the arteries. The cholesterol was there to patch them up.. However..you couldn't tell people, not to smoke, until the 1970s
I eat approximately 8 eggs per day, my husband and oldest son eat up to 20 eggs per day (sometimes more!) for the last 12 months and both have PERFECT bloods!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
@@differenttakethanmost yes! And bloods are perfect. There is a study in men in China where they were given up to 36 eggs per day and they were perfectly healthy, no adverse affects. Our reasons are mainly ease of cooking, independence and budget (my son can come in after school and boil up 8 -10 eggs for his dinner). We all eat between 4-8 eggs for breakfast (no carbs!!) I have the most perfect bloods as I do more strict keto and the rest of the family do strict keto in the morning but then eat carbs if they want in the evening so my triglyceride to HDL ration is 0.423 (I’m in Ireland so I’m not sure how that translates in US) which is almost perfect. My A1C is excellent. All my 11 pages of blood work. I feel amazing. Son lost 53lbs and had no spots anymore, has his confidence and motivation back (he’s 17), younger son (15) eats 6 eggs per day, oldest daughter (16) said eating keto (eggs for breakfast x 5) has changed her life (she’s no longer cranky I can confirm!!) and younger daughter (11) who is the most “keto-resistant!” Eats 4 runny boiled eggs and begs me for them sometimes if she has eaten too many carbs and says she is happier! If she eats them in the evening she can have wholemeal toast. With real butter, but breakfast is strictly no carbs (unless it’s the weekend) as it maintains their energy and mood until mid-day (me too!) lovely even blood sugar!
@@differenttakethanmost yes 20 eggs! My husband ate 5 boiled eggs for breakfast this morning and took 6 fried eggs in a lunchbox with rocket leaves (arugala) butter and chopped red onion and chopped ginger for his lunch. My oldest son had 8 boiled eggs for breakfast this morning, normally he eats them without carbs but because it’s the weekend he also had a whole wheat skim bagel and real butter and coffee with cream (he lost 53lbs on keto last year), now he is perfect weight for 5’ 11”. Youngest son (15) ate 5 fried eggs with bacon for breakfast, this is his normal breakfast but today he also had a toasted bagel because it’s the weekend. Oldest daughter (16) had same but no bagel. Youngest daughter (11) had 3 runny boiled eggs and toast today. I had 3 boiled eggs and a bagel but I normally have a carb free metabolic fried egg meal with 6 eggs, and cruciferous vegetables, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cheese as I usually don’t eat until 1pm during the week. Today we had meatballs for lunch, two of the kids want rice, the rest of us no rice but alot of rocket (arugala) leaves. We’re not really “prescriptive” as in if someone has carbs there isn’t an alarm that goes off, keto is a general lifestyle we follow but not in a prescriptive way, otherwise there would be no fun! 🤩 next the evening meal will often be 5-8 boiled eggs for the boys and sometimes “snack” later on 4 more boiled eggs. It has to do with economics as well as independence. And it avoids the cereal boxes (which we have too sometimes!) but yes 20 eggs. Bloods on 4 of us have been taken, they are all perfect (mine being the MOST perfect as I am by far the strictest, and I do regular intermittent and prolonged fasting) my triglyceride to HDL ratio is fantastic. A1c perfect, all 11 pages of my blood work perfect!! ❤️❤️❤️
What would happen if *_I_* ate 4 whole eggs a day? I'd look like I had a *very* bad lip job, LOL - I'm allergic to eggs! But, my great-grandmother owned a commercial egg farm (yes, she literally _candled_ the eggs herself) and ate eggs every day along with the heavy cream she churned into butter and *lived to be 101* years old.
I've watched a ton of Dr Ekberg's videos the last 7 months. Within 3 months: 60lbs lost, 260lbs to 200lbs, blood pressure now normal, face not puffy, no spots, no back pain, no brain fog, never tired, asthma gone into remission, following a Keto diet with Intermittent fasting. If you want any advice, just strictly limit carbs don't eat bread, rice, pasta, cereal, sandwiches, microwave meals, avoid ultra processed foods and seed oils, just eat real food: meat, veg, eggs, dairy and add healthy oils like extra virgin olive oil and nuts to increase satiety and train body to burn fat. While still avoiding non-keto friendly veg, basically eat things that were alive or came out of the ground. Ultra processed food is none of these.
Funnily enough, I lost a good 40 pounds eating eggs and high-fat meat. Went from around 205 to about 165 on the diet. Eggs and meat will allow your body to regulate itself down (or up) to its "desired" normal weight. Carbs/sugar (glucose) will prevent this from happening.
It’s hard to find an MD who isn’t Living in the dark ages. And my insurance does not pay for functional medicine. Terrible times. My cholesterol was in “normal range” yet my doctor insisted on statins because I’m over 60. I refused.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, I have been watching your video for something now and I was able to understand the real meaning of fasting with a healthy diet leading to a healthy lifestyle. I have lost a few pounds since I started, now I can fit in my dresses I couldn't wear for a long time all thanks to breaking your teachings to the level that everyone could grasp, no one explain it better than you do. No more inflammation, flu, or any other types of stuff due to eating bad food out there that I use to eat, I have never felt better like this. I will keep watching videos like this! Big thanks
I have been eating 10-15 hard-boiled eggs (with yolks) during dinner every day for the past 4 years. Great source for high quality nutrients, and satiety.
Question: are the nutrients similar when we do soft-boiled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, or are the values for raw? I want to eat eggs but ensure that cooking does not alter the nutrients? Thanks!
I eat an average of 3 whole eggs a day. The young girl at the egg farm was surprised when I told her that the 4 dozen eggs I was buying was all for me.
@@davidkennedy8929 Some days I eat 4 and occasionally 5. They are direct from the farm so are very fresh and I keep them in the fridge. The cartons I have in the fridge at the moment were bought on 22nd April and are use by 6th June but they will be eaten by 10th May. I do test each carton when I start a new batch by putting them in water but only rarely get one that is resting on the bottom but almost upright and then I eat that one next.
I've been eating three eggs a day for the past two years. My blood work comes out good everything. My total cholesterol number can seems to floats between 160 - 180. My triglyceride number dropped down to 47 with the last blood work. It was 90 the previous time. The difference is that I had started eating nuts a few months before my blood work. I was never into eating nuts before. I'm 70 years old. I've commented before that your diet cholesterol isn't your blood work number. But a few people will insist that someone will likely have lower cholesterol numbers that me if they don't eat eggs. I always get the feeling that to them the food pyramid is the best guide for eating. I've been avoiding wheat products so that means I don't touch any pre-made packaged foods. I will have a home made biscuit every other week. I noticed that even with sprouted breads products I can still gain weigh if I eat it everyday. I will gain three pounds in about 10 days. So now I'm at where I'm at with bread products.

Eggs are an AMAZING healthy food.
My husband went for his blood work recently. I feed him a 2 to 3 egg omelets every single morning (14-21 eggs a week). We have our own chickens and they free range plus I supplement them with very healthy vegetables every single day. His "good" cholesterol (HDL) went way up and his "bad" cholesterol (LDL) went way down and the doctors were amazed! He is 68 years old and on zero medication.
I'm seeing a pattern here in the comments, many of us in our 60s who consume eggs daily and don't have to take any medications.
Thank you @PkCrochet. No. Wait. Real food can make you healthier? And they were amazed about that? 😄

As for me, I’ve decided to keep to my farm-based ancestors way of eating and barring any extreme affects of my environment, hope to set a new record for family longevity, which currently stands at 102 years. 😉
You make some valid points.
@veronicaheaney3464
Same here, my family longevity stands at 104, I had a great-grandmother, grandmother and her 3 brothers who all lived to 104. Large family still living and all those who’ve stayed on the farm are heading in that direction. I’ve always “known” intuitively that I will live to 104 as well. I’m carnivore 1 year (& ex keto 9 years) My brother is 2 years younger than me and is obese and eats junk, as does his wife who just had a stomach bypass to lose weight (against my pleas not to) and now eats like a rabbit. Salads & low or non-fat foods. Plus processed junk. Neither of them will have a long life. It’s sad, but they won’t listen. I have a very obese aunt who I tried to help her 20 years ago to turn her eating habits around - but she got offended & wouldn’t talk to me for ages. Now she says she wishes she’d listened to me. She’s in her 80’s and even though I tell her it’s never too late, she still won’t budge. I think she’s just too wedged into her old habits to see past it. So I just focus on me and my grown up daughter.
@@vitalishus I totally understand. Some in my family hastened their own end, but others were affected by circumstance.
My dad was affected by his service in the Air Force during WWII. Even with all his war wounds, he managed to keep active till age 75. But he listened when told smoking was bad for him. Others, well they went the way of fast food, alcohol and other things that did them no good at all.
My sister got angry with me when I suggested she take better care of herself. She died of brain cancer when she was 55. My brother, who was born with multiple heart defects and suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since he was 19, lived a simple but whole life till he was 70. I’m the only survivor in my immediate family. It’s not like I haven’t had health issues at times, but I worked through them and am the better for it. Carnivore is definitely helping, though I cycle it with keto. Wish I’d found it 20 years ago, even earlier. Perhaps those health issues would never have occurred.

Thanks so much for sharing such wonderful encouragement with us.
People are confused about eggs yet don't hesitate to eat all kinds of junk food and sugary drinks. I love eggs so much I can't go a day without eating at least four.
Same usually more but 4 is my minimum
oh man this is the best point I've read yet so true!

I'm totally on board with this. Eating organic eggs daily supplied by my neighbors chickens for years now as breakfast food, feeling great at 65 years of age, good blood work, healthy weight and always looking forward to a delicious morning meal that helps control my appetite throughout the day. God's perfect food for us.
i remember in the 1970.s , it was understood to not eat lots of eggs, because of cholesterol. food companies were trying to get people to eat more sugar.
My dad is still stuck on the cholesterol thing at 68-69 i cant keep track. When i could eat eggs i felt great and numbers never changed. Now I'm waiting on gallbladder removal so i can eat them again. They fill you up never let you down lol unless you have gallstones.

I remember one time I made the comment on another channel that our diet cholesterol isn't our blood work numbers. Of course a couple of people insisted I was wrong. But I've been eating three eggs a day for the past two years and I've have blood work done twice a year. I always have good numbers. One person insisted my cholesterol would probably drop more. I replied back to her that I can touch the lowest number recommended already at times. She had no answer.
Or..they didn't know
And bad hydrogenated Frankenstein vegetable oils that the body tries to use to repair cell damage. The plastic is inorganic and results in patch failures, loss of insulin receptors and weak arteries because it doesn't stretch like organic living tissue real fats feed.
Beef, Butter, Bacon and Eggs lost over 70lbs and dropped my A1C from 9 to 5.0!!!
wtg, 2mad for me, bacon n eggs for breakfast, beef for dinner
Me too! Only in my case it has been sausage patties instead of bacon.
@@petenielsen6683nitrate or nitrate free?
well done! Organic beef I would assume. In India we have been consuming GHEE for thousands of years and now research says it's one of the best fats you can have, in fact a video from Dr. Ken Berry also says that GHEE is the only dairy-derived product an adult must consume. No dairy after you are off mother's milk.
my cholesterol went from 206 to 259. Not so happy. people have to be careful.
My motto is whatever the government deems as unhealthy is actually healthy and vice versa. Stay away from preservatives, msg, nitrates, etc.
Good motto!
Pretty much this. If they say the sky is blue, I'm checking for myself.
High fructose corn syrup too. It's in almost everything on American grocery store shelves but should be banned. Avoid!

Whoever will to pay the most... buys the top of the food pyramid. And gets the label of 'best foods to eat'.
What happens if you eat 6 to 12 eggs with the yolks daily for 6 years?
You reverse type 2 diabetes and hypertension. You lose 100 lbs. You lower your A1C to 5.2 from around 7.5. You reverse the need for eyeglass prescriptions on your Driver License. How do I know? I have been having between 6 to 12 eggs a day since 2018. I did all those things. Now 61 years old.

Due to ulcerative colitis, I've been on a carnivore/eggs/light dairy diet for about 4 years. At 39, I'm in better shape than I have been since I was in my early 20's. I went from 9-12 meds - average 20 pills a day - to 0 on this diet. ZERO. Part of this diet has been 3-4 eggs for breakfast each day (mix of duck and chicken) with ground beef.
I'm happy that you're in better shape than you've been in since your early 20's! UC is a beast! Our diets can either be medicine or poison and it's up to us to find out individually which kind of diet works for us.
@@LilyBean82 It's a big challenge to find out which foods agree with us or not. Inflammation, in my case, being the thing to look out for. It can take 24 hours to show changes or it can take a week. Carnivore lets me set a neutral baseline then introduce foods one or two at a time to see how I react to them.
Haven’t met anyone who has eaten duck eggs. They’re quite expensive and I didn’t want to buy something I may not like. Are they anything like chicken eggs?
@@veronicaheaney3464 Very similar, but larger and more rich (both in taste and nutrition). You're correct in that they're really expensive if purchased in a store though. I get mine from a lady at a local farm here in the Midwest for around $4/dozen, but when I lived in CA it was nearly $7 for 6.
So really it just depends on your situation. The taste and nutrition isn't really worth it if you're having to pay double the cost (or more).
They have a rubbery texture and taste... different!@@veronicaheaney3464

That's right. Sometimes 5.
Me too. Just had a steak, couple of eggs.. Perfect lunch after doing some squats... 4 eggs is my minimum for a day, but trying a period with higher protein and a bit less fat. Feels great so far. Actually have more energy with less fat...

I eat 4 eggs a day for lunch almost every single day since 2021. Very satisfying lunch and not hungry till dinner. Lost 44 pounds in 9 1/2 months. Kept 40 off through the years.

Only 4 eggs and no other protein like meat on lunch?
I eat four boiled eggs per day and fortunately I’m living in the central highlands of Vietnam where the chickens freely walk around the villages where they’re raised. The eggs are brown, rich in nutrition and taste amazing, but only cost about $1 for 10 fresh eggs. 😊
I’m happy for you, my friend. I I wish I could buy that many eggs for a buck. I’m about four bucks a dozen now, but I keep eating them enjoy that beautiful country
You can also easily enjoy eggs in the recipe ò pork and eggs salted cooked..

Wow here in Australia eggs are on average AU$8 per dozen.
I buy 2 x cartons of 18 eggs per week = 36 eggs. So that’s AU$0.66 per egg! I’ve gotta move somewhere I can get some chooks of my own! 😂

On the topic of eggs. My wrists were extremely burned when a rad cap blew off. My engineer put egg whites directly on the burn after first aid was applied. The egg white took the searing pain away as long as the egg white was on the burn and there was absolutely no scaring. Hope this helps someone.
This is absolutely awesome! Who knew egg whites were good for burns?!
Egg whites can be used for many different purposes. Musical instruments where and are often primed just with egg yolks. Closes the wood grains and is a perfect base for varnishes.
Egg whites are helpful to help heal cuts too, at least things like paper cuts on the hands.

I did this experiment for 6 months straight and with also adding either 6 strips of bacon or 2 sausage patties in additionto the two eggs. I also ate a high fat, low carb keto diet the rest of my diet. Regarding my lipid panel, before starting this, my LDL was 105 mg/dL. After 6 months, my LDL dropped to 94 mg/dL. Before starting this, my HDL was 46 mg/dL. After 6 months, my HDL increased to 79 mg/dL. My triglycerides before this were 67 mg/dL and after eating this way was 63 mg/dL.

Still strong in bed?
me too... never ask a doctor about nutrition. They are trained to push pills. So, buyer beware. Also, they must follow "standard of care" to avoid lawsuits. I do not think standard of care has ever been based on anything but pills for management of symptoms for as long as possible. The longer we stay sick, yet alive, the better for pill companies.

For decades, six (6) whole eggs are one of my go-to protein right after resistance training...only 3 to 4 eggs a day during non-training/rest days. I'm now 78 years old and I still have my six pack. Moreover, I have no health issues at all and no medications.
I don't drink expensive coffee drinks. I make a regular cup at home. I also refuse to buy a dozen eggs for $8. I will buy organic eggs for roughly $4 a dozen no problem. But I opt to buy from a neighbor who just has chickens in her backyard. Yes, she may feed them grain however, she also feeds them fruits and vegetables and they Peck bugs around the yard all summer long. So I opt for the non-organic free-range backyard chicken eggs any day over buying, even organic eggs when possible.
You're fortunate to have a neighbor with chickens. Most of us do not and we have to pay the price for organic eggs.
I sold and delivered BROWN eggs 🥚🥚🥚 for 40¢ per dozen in 1972 as a kid. Even back then I got complaints about my eggs being spoiled. You cannot please everybody. I bet I'd have takers today who would not complain because of THAT price. They'd simply discard the rotten eggs and eat the rest. A bag of Ralston Purina Layena in those days went for $8 per 40 lb bag.

I eat more than 6 eggs a day depending on how hard I train. My patients are surprised when I tell them that it's sugar that is causing their health problems, including their fatty liver. It's not fat intake that causes fatty liver, it's sugar intake (particularly fructose). The egg guidelines have changed but people are still scared. The sugar industry did a good job !
fructose? like in fruit, lol.
@@jakescakes Indeed fruts have some fructose but also fiber which mitigates the effect by delaying absorption. And fruits contain less fructose that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which is used to sweeten soft drinks and countless other processed foods. People who eat fruits may get 15 grams of fructose per day but people who eat processed food can eat 75 g and often more than 100 g.

My cholesterol has always been high 7.5 since my 20's. But about 16 years ago when I was around 42 I had a full body CT scan that showed all my coronary arteries were totally clean so I figured maybe I wasn't susceptible to clogging arteries. About 2 years ago I became type 2 diabetic with NAFLD and I read that eggs can help control type 2 and insulin resistance. Now I eat 3 eggs scrambled every day with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil mixed in, plus a rasher of English back bacon. My cholesterol now is the lowest it has ever been and my last blood test (the one that tests 3 months in the blood) it came back as being non diabetic.

Eggs are amazing. Did you know that the yolk is designed to have the complete range of nutrients to grow a baby chick. The white, however, contains almost no nutrients but, instead, contains fungicides and antibacterial protein agents, its sole job is to protect the egg yolk and baby chick! It's one of the reasons (other than egg products being used in vaccines) some people react to egg whites but rarely the yolks.
Not every egg yolk is bright orange if pasture raised. In Poland we have breed named green legged partridge, they gave the best eggs you can imagine l, but their yolk is pale yellow and it has nothing to do with quality.
What do the green-legged partridge chickens eat, what is their diet?
Same things other chickens.

I eat approximately 8 eggs per day, my husband and oldest son eat up to 20 eggs per day (sometimes more!) for the last 12 months and both have PERFECT bloods!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
20 eggs, a day? Really???
@@differenttakethanmost yes! And bloods are perfect. There is a study in men in China where they were given up to 36 eggs per day and they were perfectly healthy, no adverse affects. Our reasons are mainly ease of cooking, independence and budget (my son can come in after school and boil up 8 -10 eggs for his dinner). We all eat between 4-8 eggs for breakfast (no carbs!!) I have the most perfect bloods as I do more strict keto and the rest of the family do strict keto in the morning but then eat carbs if they want in the evening so my triglyceride to HDL ration is 0.423 (I’m in Ireland so I’m not sure how that translates in US) which is almost perfect. My A1C is excellent. All my 11 pages of blood work. I feel amazing. Son lost 53lbs and had no spots anymore, has his confidence and motivation back (he’s 17), younger son (15) eats 6 eggs per day, oldest daughter (16) said eating keto (eggs for breakfast x 5) has changed her life (she’s no longer cranky I can confirm!!) and younger daughter (11) who is the most “keto-resistant!” Eats 4 runny boiled eggs and begs me for them sometimes if she has eaten too many carbs and says she is happier! If she eats them in the evening she can have wholemeal toast. With real butter, but breakfast is strictly no carbs (unless it’s the weekend) as it maintains their energy and mood until mid-day (me too!) lovely even blood sugar!
On keto? What else do you eat in a day?
Haha who eats 20 Eggs
@@differenttakethanmost yes 20 eggs! My husband ate 5 boiled eggs for breakfast this morning and took 6 fried eggs in a lunchbox with rocket leaves (arugala) butter and chopped red onion and chopped ginger for his lunch. My oldest son had 8 boiled eggs for breakfast this morning, normally he eats them without carbs but because it’s the weekend he also had a whole wheat skim bagel and real butter and coffee with cream (he lost 53lbs on keto last year), now he is perfect weight for 5’ 11”. Youngest son (15) ate 5 fried eggs with bacon for breakfast, this is his normal breakfast but today he also had a toasted bagel because it’s the weekend. Oldest daughter (16) had same but no bagel. Youngest daughter (11) had 3 runny boiled eggs and toast today. I had 3 boiled eggs and a bagel but I normally have a carb free metabolic fried egg meal with 6 eggs, and cruciferous vegetables, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cheese as I usually don’t eat until 1pm during the week. Today we had meatballs for lunch, two of the kids want rice, the rest of us no rice but alot of rocket (arugala) leaves. We’re not really “prescriptive” as in if someone has carbs there isn’t an alarm that goes off, keto is a general lifestyle we follow but not in a prescriptive way, otherwise there would be no fun! 🤩 next the evening meal will often be 5-8 boiled eggs for the boys and sometimes “snack” later on 4 more boiled eggs. It has to do with economics as well as independence. And it avoids the cereal boxes (which we have too sometimes!) but yes 20 eggs. Bloods on 4 of us have been taken, they are all perfect (mine being the MOST perfect as I am by far the strictest, and I do regular intermittent and prolonged fasting) my triglyceride to HDL ratio is fantastic. A1c perfect, all 11 pages of my blood work perfect!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 76 and have eaten four eggs a day for ten years since my quintuple bypass. Mostly I have eaten the yolks raw in my smoothie.

Within 3 months: 60lbs lost, 260lbs to 200lbs, blood pressure now normal, face not puffy, no spots, no back pain, no brain fog, never tired, asthma gone into remission, following a Keto diet with Intermittent fasting. If you want any advice, just strictly limit carbs don't eat bread, rice, pasta, cereal, sandwiches, microwave meals, avoid ultra processed foods and seed oils, just eat real food: meat, veg, eggs, dairy and add healthy oils like extra virgin olive oil and nuts to increase satiety and train body to burn fat. While still avoiding non-keto friendly veg, basically eat things that were alive or came out of the ground. Ultra processed food is none of these.
I add a little salt to my egg yolks so it sticks to my bacon and beef better. I only eat omad now! Thank you so much for all this knowledge.
First 😄 me and my kids are currently working on this egg diet.i was under weight, but eggs rapidly gain my weight..❤
Funnily enough, I lost a good 40 pounds eating eggs and high-fat meat. Went from around 205 to about 165 on the diet. Eggs and meat will allow your body to regulate itself down (or up) to its "desired" normal weight. Carbs/sugar (glucose) will prevent this from happening.
Thank you @angghanasutera5652. Good for you. 😄
It’s hard to find an MD who isn’t Living in the dark ages. And my insurance does not pay for functional medicine. Terrible times. My cholesterol was in “normal range” yet my doctor insisted on statins because I’m over 60. I refused.
Statins = poison
Good on you!! That’s terrible and enough to change docs over!!! Totally unethical!!!👹
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, I have been watching your video for something now and I was able to understand the real meaning of fasting with a healthy diet leading to a healthy lifestyle. I have lost a few pounds since I started, now I can fit in my dresses I couldn't wear for a long time all thanks to breaking your teachings to the level that everyone could grasp, no one explain it better than you do. No more inflammation, flu, or any other types of stuff due to eating bad food out there that I use to eat, I have never felt better like this.
I will keep watching videos like this! Big thanks
I like to eat 5 eggs for a meal. Hope you have a great weekend Dr. Ekberg! Thanks for a great video!
Same here!
De que manera es mejor cocinar los huevos, fritos , pasados por agua o duros? Gracias
Hervidos en agua 10-12 minutos y a disfrutar.
Thank you Sten Ekberg for your informative videos!
I have been eating 10-15 hard-boiled eggs (with yolks) during dinner every day for the past 4 years. Great source for high quality nutrients, and satiety.
😲
Im 67 and eat 2 or 3 eggs a day, healthy as a horse😂
Question: are the nutrients similar when we do soft-boiled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, or are the values for raw? I want to eat eggs but ensure that cooking does not alter the nutrients?
Thanks!
I eat an average of 3 whole eggs a day. The young girl at the egg farm was surprised when I told her that the 4 dozen eggs I was buying was all for me.
That’s a total of 16 days! How long can you keep eggs before they turn bad?
@@davidkennedy8929 Some days I eat 4 and occasionally 5. They are direct from the farm so are very fresh and I keep them in the fridge. The cartons I have in the fridge at the moment were bought on 22nd April and are use by 6th June but they will be eaten by 10th May. I do test each carton when I start a new batch by putting them in water but only rarely get one that is resting on the bottom but almost upright and then I eat that one next.
@@jobrown8146 👍
@@jobrown8146 don't keep them in the fridge: it is unneccesary and a waist of power.

If eggs are outside, not wet, they could hold for 2 weeks...
Once they get wet, you have to put in fridge
I've been eating three eggs a day for the past two years. My blood work comes out good everything. My total cholesterol number can seems to floats between 160 - 180. My triglyceride number dropped down to 47 with the last blood work. It was 90 the previous time. The difference is that I had started eating nuts a few months before my blood work. I was never into eating nuts before. I'm 70 years old.
I've commented before that your diet cholesterol isn't your blood work number. But a few people will insist that someone will likely have lower cholesterol numbers that me if they don't eat eggs. I always get the feeling that to them the food pyramid is the best guide for eating. I've been avoiding wheat products so that means I don't touch any pre-made packaged foods. I will have a home made biscuit every other week. I noticed that even with sprouted breads products I can still gain weigh if I eat it everyday. I will gain three pounds in about 10 days. So now I'm at where I'm at with bread products.
I’ve been eating 4 eggs a day for years!
