Dr Stein, please answer my question. I noticed when video people get popular, they stop responding to their long time subscribers. I need help, my skin on my legs has completely changed in the last year, I've been fasting now for 4 years. It's creepy and loose. I exercise regularly, like I've always done but my muscles is like disappearing. It's gross and freakn me out. I've always had awesome muscular legs. Can I get my tone back or is the crepy loose skin a forever now it's obvious from knees to quads. Thank for your help. Unfortunately my primary Dr has no clue.
Dr I do Intermittant Fasting. I eat at around 10-1030am. I eat my last meal (usually 2nd) by 5pm. I'm up at 5am. I have 2 nepressos with Stevia & unsweetened Coconut Milk as creamer. Will that Lil amount of Cocunut milk break my fast? There's 0 sugar in it & 40 calories per cup. I'd like to know. Cuz if it does, I won't put it in my nepressos. I learn to drink without it.
This man has single-handedly changed the lives of myself and my husband forever. Hubs has lost 45 pounds and I’ve lost 21 since we started low carb/keto lifestyles. We will never go back because we feel great and look years younger. Dr. Ekberg is a lifesaver. If you’re contemplating starting low carb/keto this year, just do it!! ❤
Thank you @MsPatClaus for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
How much was there to be lost? Those are like dumbbells when I read those numbers. I’ve showed a few simple diet changes will shed that in a month or so as long as you’re not sitting down 90%.
My husband lost all the weight he needed to and is now maintaining. I have a few pounds more to lose but am still losing, slowly. Not bad for 60 years of age. And keto is not meant to be a regimen where you lose tremendous amounts of weight. It's a lifestyle for the rest of your life. Anyone who loses 45 pounds in one month is losing too much in my opinion. @@baileygregg6567
It’s nice to find a person on TH-cam who speaks to me like an intelligent adult… he’s not yelling to me, he’s not talking down, he’s not “it’s my way or you’re a loser”… great channel.
I can't believe someone actually helped me lose weight. I am 5'3" and I was 143 in 2/2023. I hate to weigh myself, but I noticed how every visit to doctor the scale was showing I started dropping and shedding pounds. I got to 128 by 07/2023 and now I am 123. I feel wonderful and even though I did cheat I still kept losing the weight. All because I started fasting 12 hours, stopped bread, potato and sugar. And most thrilling fact is I can cross my legs 🤣🤣Thank you Doc. I am still in shock and I am forever grateful to you for this journey.
Haha, “I can cross my legs.” I hear ya! I am 5’2 and weighed 146 and the leg crossing was not comfortable at all. I’m now 121 and it’s easy peasy. What a great feeling!!
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 well, I got sick with Covid and was not moving a lot. So I gained about 3 lbs back. But, the good news is I stuck to fasting and that's what helped me from gaining a lot. I am back on foot now, and the goal will be 1lbs per week for the next 5 weeks. Aiming for --4lbs by 04/30 with increased physical activity
Started with Intermittent Fasting about +3 years ago. Not gonna’ lie, I did it to loose weight/body fat. And it worked fantastically. Lost some weight at the start, then plateaued. Then started cutting carbs from the eating-period and lost the rest I set out to do. That was all in year-1. So why do I still do it.? Simply because I feel amazing! I feel free! No more sugar-addiction and all that goes with it. Plus I save money so it’s a win-win-win all year. Never going back to my old lifestyle again, this has changed my life for the better so why not keep going.?!😂
@@veenanarwani761 What you asked the Dr already answered in this vid, pls watch again. Water is allowed and the safest liquid to consume during fasting, which helps you stay hydrated. Tea is like coffee providing caffeine, and you'd like to use whole-fat cream instead skim milk (as long as it doesn't have sugar or carbs in it), but you shouldn't drink too many times during a day, maybe no more than 3 times/day. If you want to be sure how much you can consume, just do a blood test to see whether your insulin spikes up when you drink tea with milk. There's a method of fasting with water only to reduce glutamine, one of the two major fuels that have been found driving almost all cancers: colon, breast, etc. If you're interested in it, you can watch the video talk between Dr. Thomas Seyfried and 5 Minute Body channel about Metabolic Treatment for Cancer: '#1 Cancer Expert: The WORST Food That Feeds Cancer Cells' for more information. This treatment is not yet confirmed officially, but it has a lot of potentials.
I thought I had a drinking problem. But my drinking habits didn't seem to fit the mold of a problem drinker. Then one night it hit me; I had a drinking AND eating problem. Beer wasn't necessarily a "booze" problem. It was a "food addiction" problem. I didn't drink the hard stuff. It was the beer. The "liquid food". And all the other food as well...
Regarding hydration, another reason to drink plenty of water is the fact that the reaction of triglyceride breakdown requires three water molecules for each TG molecule. If you are fat adapted, drinking water gives lots of energy (and some glucose too) thanks to this reaction.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. My weight loss journey began with you. I am now off HBP meds and down 53 lbs. Your advice kept me going. May God continue to bless you in all you do. 🙏 I have about 12 more lbs. to go and want to get off anti-inflammatory meds. Your advice had made this easy.
Thank you @missmaria165 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@melonaansah2373 I succeeded by following Dr. EKberg and watching all his videos. I did Keto, Intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, MCT oil snd started walking and lifting mild weights. Eating whole foods. No sugar, no processed foods. I also stopped eating wheat and grain products. Fasting and OMAD too. I love the fatty meats that have natural collagen. My skin looks like I lost 20 years. This man speaks 💯 percent truth. Listen to him.
@@melonaansah2373 the only way you really can lose that much without dangerous surgery or pharma garbage is Keto/carnivore diet. All other diets are unsustainable and scammy.
I’m learning so much from your teaching. A year ago I realized I needed to do something for my health. I did some research and decided to start a healthy Keto lifestyle. 3 months later I made my Keto meatloaf and my old recipe for my husband. He asked to taste mine and liked it so much that he asked to put him on the diet as well. Shortly thereafter we started IM (eating at 11 am and 5 pm). I had weighed 174 lb. when I started (and on blood pressure meds). My husband was almost 400 lbs. and on 3 medications for type 2 diabetes, as well as a statin and meds for blood pressure. To date I’ve lost 60 lbs. and am off my BP meds. My husband has lost 100 lbs., reversed his insulin resistance, got off his diabetes meds and statins. After being basically sedentary he has started walking as well. It’s a lifestyle for us. Eating healthy has us both doing so much better. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Hello ma'am, may I ask? how do you administer your BP medication with your fasting? do you take your medicine after eating your breakfast? or taking it earlier than 11am?
Only within the last 3 weeks i started watching a lot of Dr. Ekberg's video. I am giving him a nod above all other health gurus here. Why? His information and explanations are clear, comprehensive based on experiments and research but above all realistic. He takes into account, in my opinion, the nature of man. He doesn't advocate for sudden changes and demands, and you could choose from his presentation how you want to pursue good health. BTW, i could tell you all, from all points, intermittent fasting /fasting on the whole is a cure for the body and for self adjustments where necessary The organs are not at hard work, digesting foods, and therefore all organs could adjust itself where need be, this is my humble opinion. BUT it's a fact that fasting could NEVER be bad for you!
Thank you @SiriusStarGazer. 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. 😄
you are so very welcome, Doctor. Keep up the splendid work and indeed the human body is a miracle. Our body is way more intelligent that us, if that makes any sense.@@drekberg
I agree 💯! I began my health journey in May ‘23 with him and had incredible success. I adopted a keto and intermittent fasting lifestyle (plus I did a 3-day water fast at the end of my first 30 days and it literally cured me of a painful muscle problem I had for 40 years - no joke)!! I’ve watched so many other channels since then, but his is the absolute best!!!
I've been following Dr. Ekberg for almost 2 years. He approaches all topics with a calm demeaner and tries to stay with the science and/ or his own experience. But 1 thing, fasting can be bad for you. You need nutrients. Intermittent fasts are great and perfectly healthy. Unfortunately, some people taking fasting to extremes, and it becomes unhealthy and dangerous. The fasting Dr. Ekberg encourages is good for you though.
Your videos are always so easy to understand and informative. Thank you Dr. Ekberg, for your dedication to helping everyone achieve optimal health without gimmicks.

That is the one thing I appreciate the most about your videos doctor. So much disinformation and we believe it because it is easy and goes with what everyone does. But as soon as you learn how the body works and uses everything you put in to it your journey to better health can start and one can make informed decisions. Love it!
I just finished week 1 of the 16 / 8 intermittent fasting protocol and I LOVE IT! Amazing the changes just in one week. Less appetite, better sleep, my skin glows, more energy and I eat much less.
I have been fasting 6pm to 10am for about a year now.. with healthy food and some excersise.. WITHOUT any medication all my cholestrol levels came down to a normal, blood sugar levels and thyroids came down.. i was 59kg when i started now im at 51 kg.. iits just a miracle how my body healed just by doing this one step of fasting and cutting out junk.. if i can do it so can you.. start slow and you will never regret.. ❤❤ start today!!!
Been watching for 3 years and gradually got my will power to intermittent fasting to once a day for 6 months now and been without sugar, bread, and processed foods for 2 months. Euvexia helps premiumly. He definitely knows what he is talking about. Lost 84 lbs within the 6 months. Feel great! Ty Dr. Ekberg!
I am ten months Ketovore (mostly Carnivore with a rare fruit or veggie that my body tolerates well). I usually skip breakfast and eat around 2-4 p.m. It has become so easy now... Moreover, 46 pounds lost, sleep apnea gone, eczema gone, sugar cravings gone. Thank you!
@@nichegoseberazdvatri generally twice a day, but it depends whether I am hungry or not. If I'm not, I don't eat. Sometimes I eat three times a day, but very rarely. I still have difficulty eating enough, though.

Dr. Elbert, you are super convincing. The way you explain things makes it easy to understand and do. I appreciate your time and effort to make these videos 🙏
Going into month 13 of low carb keto life. Have done three 96+ hour fasts last year and aim for one each quarter 2024. I doubt I could ever do a seven day fast. I still crave sugar and get my fix with whipping cream/baking cocoa/allulose stiffened up and frozen strawberries folded in. I've lost 140lbs and the good Dr. keeps me motivated in learning about and improving my health.
You have changed my life! I came across my first video 2 years ago and accidentally. All that you stated rang true for me. I knew it was so important to share the link with so many in my life that are not healthy. I am a healthy 55 yr old woman on no medications and no negative health issues at all. I thought i was headed to a knee replacement because of pain, i never went to a doctor it just hurt so much. However, after i watched that first video, I cut out sugar for 14 days (even hidden sugar) The pain went away. I was shocked. I shared that first video with so many including my husband. It helped my best friend also; she changed her lifestyle too!. Sadly, everyone else ignored the message of sugar being so harmful, inflammation, etc. I fail occasionally and eventually get back on track (sadly not until i start feeling the effects of the inflammation again usually around the holidays). I usually do OMAD when i am being healthy. I get satiated when i eat, how many calories should i be trying to eat with OMAD. I eat mostly all healthy food,. Mostly organic? i also drink approximately 64 oz of water every day or more and add electrolytes to my water. I know i get less than the required number of calories. Thank you for all the information you provided in your videos. You are a blessing.
One of your best videos yet. Very clear and to the point; The slides in the audio track very well. Thank you for what you do and keep up the really great work.
I’ve been doing time restricted eating for over a year now. Skipping breakfast for me is easier. My eating window is 6 hours. But I have lately been including what I call “Metabolic Monday”. My last meal is Sunday night around 6 pm then my next meal isn’t until later Tuesday morning. Works out to about a 40 hour fast. During my fast I only have water, black coffee, salt, and electrolytes. BTW, I like Dr. Ekberg’s electrolyte product. Works for me!
Thank you @SalLazuka for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. Metabolic Monday, I love it. Or how about Transformative Tuesday. I'll have to play with it. Maybe it can be a theme or something. Hope all is well with you. 😄
@@drekberg I originally thought of naming it, Mealless Monday. But that sounded too much like a diet and just to lose weight. Metabolic Monday is much more in my thinking now. 😊
If you do what this man explains to you in every one of his videos , I promise, you’ll start living your best life!! Promise!! Thank you Doc. For saving my life! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your routine sounds very similar to mine! The only difference is that after IF from Sunday to Friday, I go from Friday night to Saturday night for a 24 hour fast. Additionally, every 3 months at the change of seasons, I do a 40-42 hour fast from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. But very similar to you! Have lost 46 pounds in 18 months, and back to my high school weight.
Thank You @mogglie so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Three years ago I was fortunate to have ran into Dr. Sten Ekberg's channel. The education on this subject changed my life, in the first year I lost 70lbs and my a1c came down from 8.3 to 6.8. I have maintained my weight and a1c is at present 6.1. Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg 🙏
I was so sick with stomach bug over new years weekend. Started Friday and vomited 3 days. Migraines and nausea for two more. I was already fasting so I might as well keep at it. In one week 11 lbs down. Continue to fast, eat one meal a day. Going carnivore. Ive got about 60 lbs to go. I feel so much better with just 11 lbs off , cant wait for more. Thank you for your videos.
I am 71 years old. I lost 100 pounds two years ago and I have kept it off. Went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. My doctor is amazed with my blood work. A1C is 4.6 and triglycerides are 47. Fasting and keto/carnivore works.
I've been intermittent fasting (between 16-20h per day) for almost 15 years now (at least 5 days a week). 5 years ago I started working as a RN at a hospital, and they have food EVERYWHERE...there's always cake, sweets, snacks and biscuits at every break 😀. I remember how hard it was the first days on the job to always say "no thanks, I'm fasting" and all the obese nurses were shocked and said "Really? I heard that's not healthy!" while munching down on a cookie 😀. I saw it as a test of willpower and nowadays I'm no longer tempted at all. So there is a habituation effect.
The cult thinking in the medical community is blinding to the extreme. Huge obese people are always worried about their cholesterol (oh yeah that’s their #1 problem sarcasm 🤣). I love my high cholesterol. I need to ask my doc for a medication to raise it 😉.
@@socratese5 I started it in my 20s when I was doing a lot of powerlifting and eating a lot of junk food. I realized that when I fast for 16-20h I can eat as much of that crap as I want in one sitting and still not get fat 🙂. Also on workdays it's nice not to have to think about where to get lunch and what to get, 'cause the answer is always "nothing". I also kinda stopped being hungry, my colleagues always start talking about how hungry they are an hour before lunch time and how weak they feel because of it, I don't care at all, my energy is on a high level all day long. Also I used to get really tired after lunch and working in the afternoon sucked...on a fast that problem is gone.
@@socratese5 np. always happy to see a fellow human trying to find the perfect diet for him/her. Give it a go, there's no downsides...even if you only do it for a few days you will at least learn that what you thought was "hunger" is actually just "routine" 🙂
Thank you for making this make sense! Changed my life forever!!! I'm in a month and dropped 22 pounds of water/ weight. I no longer take medicine for my arthritis. I sleep great and take the stairs at work. My focus is outstanding and I'm actually happy even when faced with "not so great" days. I can't even imagine how good I'm going to feel in the future but I AM looking forward to it 💚
Very clear, easy to follow and explains processes with simplicity. His relaxed demeanor give’s confidence. I have improved my life considerably following your advice.. Thank you Dr Ekberg.
Thanks. I'm starting the year off with a prolonged fast. I making sure to take supplements and electrolytes (as well as staying hydrated), to stay safe. Already reached 111 hours, and feeling amazing!
@@dorothygrantham4370 I made it 15 days (minus a few hours). Last meal was on Tuesday Jan 2. I broke the fast on Wednesday Jan 17, about 3 hours short of it being exactly 15 days. I was going fine win the diet, it's actually the fillers from the vitamins that were upsetting my stomach, and the stevia in the electrolytes being way too sweet. If it wasn't for that, I could have gone another week.
Question: What kind of supplements and electrolytes do you take? I live in Sweden and I have not the ability to order Dr Sten Ekbergs supplement. What kind of supplements can I take? And what is electrolytes? :)
Thanks to the videos of Dr. Sten Ekberg I’m so much more aware of the risks of eating too often and the benefits of eating less often. There was a time I woke up in the middle of the night to snack. Now I try to eat just once a day. Today is actually the first day where I went to the gym in the morning and didn’t have any cravings or food after. I just had my normal warm meal in the evening. Kudos to you for your dedication and your life changing videos Dr. Sten Ekberg 🙏
You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. I’ve experienced a tremendous metabolic/weight shift since I started following Dr E’s channel. My family, friends and coworkers have noticed and been complimentary, but they keep on doing what they’re doing. I don’t preach, but when they ask I simply tell them about the shift to low carbs and IF. If they are interested to find out more, they will reach out to me one day. Or maybe not.
@@jsorensens2 well said, although it’s sad people will wait till they have diabetes or have a heart attack to start taking the right steps towards better dieting.
I have lost 38 lbs. my mom and son just started doing intermittent fasting and low carb/healthy foods. My mom swells terribly every day. She has multiple health issues. She stopped swelling in about 2 days.
Thank You @johnpickett8533 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Continually impressed with Dr. Ekberg. I truly believe he’s on a mission. Yes, he mentioned a product he invented, but I believe his primary goal is to help people. He has been a key influencer of mine to propel me on my journey to health and long-term wellness. Thank you!
As always, you are spot on Dr Ekberg! About three years ago, with the help of TH-cam, videos and a keto lifestyle I lost about 30 kg. I kept it off for a year, but after while I started eating higher carb food, because I thought it will not hurt I can handle it. So I gained back 10 kg and since then, I cannot lose it. I eat once a day, fasting for a week approximately every three months, and when I eat, I eat very little. My weight will not go down no matter what and I didn’t know why? Your video just explained it, so very much appreciated! I will change my eating habits and I will let you know about the outcome later!
Great information. I sure wish that my 3 type 2 diabetic siblings would consider this way of eating. My younger brother and his wife have NA fatty liver, she was very sick with it. I asked them what their fasting INSULIN was and they said their A1C was good (on meds of course). They all think I’m nuts, maybe, but I’m not diabetic, and I’m doing it to make sure that I don’t become diabetic. Our mom and dad were type 2, the 3 siblings are type 2 and I am the only one not type 2.
It's just my first day fasting ever today, starting with a 16:8 fasting (9am-5pm window). Wish me luck! Thank you Dr Ekberg for all the info you have shared with the world!
How did you go? I've been fasting for a while now just 16:8 but did my 1st 24 then 36 hr and felt amazing. If your female it's definitely important to fast knowing your hormones and cycle.
@@buffy2658 hello, I am doing ok, I immediately transitioned to 18:6 on my 2nd day and been doing that for 3 wks with 24 hrs fasting once or twice a wk (before or before and after a dinner outside once a wk) and i lost about 6 lbs. However, I might have to slow down on my fasting coz I have finally seen my endocrinologist and she's suspecting an autoimmune disease that attacks my thyroid, not DM type 2 but started me with metformin while the tests have not gone back. That aside, fasting have helped lower down my daily blood glucose as well, I dont reach 200 anymore and it generally went down from 160-180mg/dl upon waking up to just 120-140mg/dl (without medication).
I continue to suffer from loss of taste after undertaking intermittent fasting but took it to an extreme regime. Trying to replace the missing nutrients. Very useful video.
Dr Sten Ekburg....Thank you! Please pass your channel on to someone you can trust when you leave this earth. These videos will continue to change lives long after you are gone! God bless you man!
I have done intermittent fasting for well over a decade and I’m polycystic which means I release too much insulin, resulting in low blood sugar. I have my first meal or break fast at 11 a.m. and I eat as much as I want but it must be from the various groups! You MUST know your body!! If I have proteins without carbs, it sets up a crash a few hours later and I’m stuck for the day. Polycystic people must never do KETO!!
I wish I discovered your channel before I was diagnosed with fatty liver. For a week now, I’ve cut out sugar, and do intermittent fasting, and in a week I lost 3kg! It’s unbelievable! Of course had sugar withdrawals but they are getting much easier! I eat a strawberry or an apple! I have begun my journey to reverse my fatty liver, lose weight, be healthy and create a new lifestyle!
Last January my HOMA-IR level was 3.50. By November 2023, it was down to 1.4, almost the coveted 1.0. I still have to get my belly circumference down; but I’m on my way. Hubby is a type 2 diabetic, and in April is hoping to be off his medication entirely. His A1C was 9.5 in January, 2023, and by May had gone down to 5.5! He’s went down 10 pant sizes since March, when we changed our lifestyle. I’ve gone down 8 sizes. We each have lost 75 pounds! Think about it, we’ve lost a person between us! We have NO cravings, and are far enough away from how we “used to eat”, that “going back” isn’t an option. Thankfully I’ve always cooked from scratch, and have never really used many processed foods. Luckily we both hate eating out, we introduced fasting, which allows us to be able to afford great organic foods, purchased at local organic farms. We stopped eating crap, eating after 7:30pm, got on our treadmill everyday X 30 mins, and kept doing strength training with a personal trainer 2 hours a week. I’ve learned to make my own butter, mayo, salad dressings, sour cream, cottage cheese, and have stopped buying anything “low fat or sugar free”. IF we can do it, anyone can. Having a committed partner makes it easier and keeps you on track. It’s a relief to go to the grocers now, and just shop the outside aisles, staying away from chips, pop, candy, and chocolate. It’s also nice to not worry tonight what’s for supper tomorrow night, because you’re fasting X 36 hours. Good luck! Remember, it’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle or life plan you’re on.
If anyone is just starting out and struggling, don't worry, it's difficult in the beginning, don't be afraid to eat when the hunger becomes too hard to take, but before you know it, 2 meals a day will be all you need. I didn't believe it's possible but here I am, 6 weeks in, doing just fine. Just make sure to make those meals big but calorie-smart.
Congrats!! I’m only 7 months into this lifestyle but you are so right, stick with it cuz you will reap the rewards!! The encouragement from commenters on all of Dr E’s videos is incredible! It’s a very supportive community!!
Glad I've gained a lot of knowledge from your videos. If this was the first I'd watched, I'd probably think you were just building up to sell us your product. I know this isn't the case as this is the first (of many many) videos I've seen where you advertise something. Thank you for all the advice and making it all make sense ❤👍
Started 2 yrs ago 6 by 18. In one year went from 210 to160. Second year have kept all the weight off. Now I'm on day 4 of a prolonged fast to start year 3. I've watched every video this Dr. has put out over this time. Even watched many of his older video's. This information works. Im 58 and the only thing I can say is I wished I found this great man's information sooner. All my best to everyone on their health journey to a better life ✨️
You are absolutely amazing!! In all of your videos, you explain things so well, and are extremely thorough. So many of us wish desperately to be healthy (and often need to lose extra fat)…. There is so much conflicting information out there, and it becomes important to find those experts to trust! I have increased my knowledge regarding health and nutrition tremendously in the last couple of years; I only sometimes wish I had you to personally tell me exactly what I need to eat and drink for my own personal health goals (I’m 60!). 😂 I am still working all that out. Thank you so much for all that you share. 😃
Hello Dr. Ekberg, would your health advices still work for someone without a gallbladder, especially eating just twice a day and eating good fats? I would be very interested to learn your knowledge about the right kind eating lifestyle for people without gallbladder. I've learned so much from your channel and I try to impart this knowledge I obtained from you to the people close to me who I think would be interested. You can just imagine how foreign your concepts are to most of the people. Heck, even I am a health care provider and I raised my eyebrow more than once while watching you!
Thank You !, This was the video that answers the comment I placed on another video of yours, Great videos Dr Ekberg much appreciated from NZ, ❤ the content have hit the Bell, liked and Subcribed !!!
I have lost 40 lbs. in three months by following these tenets and by walking six times a week. 🎉 Still more to go, but what a relief it is to have finally settled on a sustainable process.
Thank you @waynebrown6553 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Two years ago I did exactly what you're saying now; bit by bit moved breakfast back and brought tea/supper forward until I was fasting sixteen hours. Between your information and Dr Eric Bergs information I have gone from 12½ st to 10½st (42" waist to 34" waist) bear in mind I'm only 5' 4" tall. Now I'm 11st owing to building muscle over the last two years but my waist has dropped to 32" and my blood pressure has dropped from 160 to 117-119. Intermittent fasting is very effective at sorting the crap out in the body!
♥️♥️🦋 Hi Dr Sten. Your videos are the highlight of every week for me. I always look forward so much listening to you. 💋 I love your old videos so much too. They are more intimate and informal. I would love to have been one of the people there listening to you speak.
7 months , at 74 closing on 75. intermittent fasting , low carbs. WORKS!!!! Question does our body produce insulin as needed in proportion to all food or as the amount carbs?
Thank you @henrysponsel853. I've talked about this in some videos. For a rough estimate it works like this: If we call the insulin response to carbs 100, then protein would be in the 10's and fat would be low single digits like 0-3. All depending on quantity of course. 😄
There are two main causes for insulin being produced. First is your basal insulin. This is the background insulin that your pancreas produces on a regular schedule completely separate from what you eat. This is to make sure your body has insulin in your blood because it is an important hormone for multiple purposes. Your basal insulin can be up to 50% of your total insulin (assuming there isn't type 1, taking extraneous insulin, etc.) Second is due to high blood glucose. Most often this will because of eating simple carbs which quickly digest and go into the blood stream as glucose. The body does for two reasons: (1) to get that energy source into your cells so it can be used for energy, and (2) high blood glucose is damaging to the blood vessel walls. It will cause them to become brittle and eventually break. This is why long term type 2 diabetics have problems with their eyes and feet. Those small blood vessels will break and prevent nutrients getting to a portion of those cells which cause them to slowly die.
I should say dr Ekberg is the person who has the greatest impact on my life, the way I am aware of my organism and its functioning in all dimensions. The total science on human that really totally works in practice. I am a living example of it - a man who lost about 40 kg, enjoys mountain trekking 200km per 4-5day, running 200+km per month, or lake swing 5-6km per session, and started to do these activities in my late 40ties/early 50ties. I didn't imagine this would be ever possible. Thank you dr Ekberg for sharing the knowledge. Greetings from Poland.
Thank You @SalLazuka so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄

@@joanne4514 that’s the industry, lose 20lbs pay 4X🦇
Dr Stein, please answer my question. I noticed when video people get popular, they stop responding to their long time subscribers. I need help, my skin on my legs has completely changed in the last year, I've been fasting now for 4 years. It's creepy and loose. I exercise regularly, like I've always done but my muscles is like disappearing. It's gross and freakn me out. I've always had awesome muscular legs. Can I get my tone back or is the crepy loose skin a forever now it's obvious from knees to quads. Thank for your help. Unfortunately my primary Dr has no clue.
Dr I do Intermittant Fasting. I eat at around 10-1030am. I eat my last meal (usually 2nd) by 5pm. I'm up at 5am. I have 2 nepressos with Stevia & unsweetened Coconut Milk as creamer. Will that Lil amount of Cocunut milk break my fast? There's 0 sugar in it & 40 calories per cup. I'd like to know. Cuz if it does, I won't put it in my nepressos. I learn to drink without it.
This man has single-handedly changed the lives of myself and my husband forever. Hubs has lost 45 pounds and I’ve lost 21 since we started low carb/keto lifestyles. We will never go back because we feel great and look years younger. Dr. Ekberg is a lifesaver. If you’re contemplating starting low carb/keto this year, just do it!! ❤
It’s true. He is the one and only.
Thank you @MsPatClaus for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg Thank you!
How much was there to be lost? Those are like dumbbells when I read those numbers. I’ve showed a few simple diet changes will shed that in a month or so as long as you’re not sitting down 90%.
My husband lost all the weight he needed to and is now maintaining. I have a few pounds more to lose but am still losing, slowly. Not bad for 60 years of age. And keto is not meant to be a regimen where you lose tremendous amounts of weight. It's a lifestyle for the rest of your life. Anyone who loses 45 pounds in one month is losing too much in my opinion. @@baileygregg6567

Good work! 👍 Its 2 months since this message, how are you doing today?
Within how many months
🤝❤️
That's terrible actually
You are probably the greatest doctor I've ever seen talking about T2D and fasting properly
Today is the start of my journey to control over myself, thank you for the information!
I can't believe someone actually helped me lose weight. I am 5'3" and I was 143 in 2/2023. I hate to weigh myself, but I noticed how every visit to doctor the scale was showing I started dropping and shedding pounds. I got to 128 by 07/2023 and now I am 123. I feel wonderful and even though I did cheat I still kept losing the weight. All because I started fasting 12 hours, stopped bread, potato and sugar. And most thrilling fact is I can cross my legs 🤣🤣Thank you Doc. I am still in shock and I am forever grateful to you for this journey.
Haha, “I can cross my legs.” I hear ya! I am 5’2 and weighed 146 and the leg crossing was not comfortable at all. I’m now 121 and it’s easy peasy. What a great feeling!!
@@jsorensens2 That's awesome. My goal is to get to 115-117 by end of February. Congrats on your accomplishments.
@@nichegoseberazdvatriwell? 😊
Crossing your legs is an amazing feeling when they didn’t fit together before. I know what ya mean
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 well, I got sick with Covid and was not moving a lot. So I gained about 3 lbs back. But, the good news is I stuck to fasting and that's what helped me from gaining a lot. I am back on foot now, and the goal will be 1lbs per week for the next 5 weeks. Aiming for --4lbs by 04/30 with increased physical activity
Started with Intermittent Fasting about +3 years ago. Not gonna’ lie, I did it to loose weight/body fat. And it worked fantastically. Lost some weight at the start, then plateaued. Then started cutting carbs from the eating-period and lost the rest I set out to do. That was all in year-1. So why do I still do it.? Simply because I feel amazing! I feel free! No more sugar-addiction and all that goes with it. Plus I save money so it’s a win-win-win all year. Never going back to my old lifestyle again, this has changed my life for the better so why not keep going.?!😂
Pl. tell me if we can have water during fasting and if we can have tea with one tablespoon of milk during fasting.
@@veenanarwani761 What you asked the Dr already answered in this vid, pls watch again. Water is allowed and the safest liquid to consume during fasting, which helps you stay hydrated. Tea is like coffee providing caffeine, and you'd like to use whole-fat cream instead skim milk (as long as it doesn't have sugar or carbs in it), but you shouldn't drink too many times during a day, maybe no more than 3 times/day. If you want to be sure how much you can consume, just do a blood test to see whether your insulin spikes up when you drink tea with milk. There's a method of fasting with water only to reduce glutamine, one of the two major fuels that have been found driving almost all cancers: colon, breast, etc. If you're interested in it, you can watch the video talk between Dr. Thomas Seyfried and 5 Minute Body channel about Metabolic Treatment for Cancer: '#1 Cancer Expert: The WORST Food That Feeds Cancer Cells' for more information. This treatment is not yet confirmed officially, but it has a lot of potentials.
@@veenanarwani761no on milk yes on water. In fact plenty of water!!!
*lose
I thought I had a drinking problem. But my drinking habits didn't seem to fit the mold of a problem drinker. Then one night it hit me; I had a drinking AND eating problem. Beer wasn't necessarily a "booze" problem. It was a "food addiction" problem. I didn't drink the hard stuff. It was the beer. The "liquid food". And all the other food as well...
Regarding hydration, another reason to drink plenty of water is the fact that the reaction of triglyceride breakdown requires three water molecules for each TG molecule. If you are fat adapted, drinking water gives lots of energy (and some glucose too) thanks to this reaction.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. My weight loss journey began with you. I am now off HBP meds and down 53 lbs. Your advice kept me going. May God continue to bless you in all you do. 🙏 I have about 12 more lbs. to go and want to get off anti-inflammatory meds. Your advice had made this easy.
How you do it??
Thank you @missmaria165 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@melonaansah2373 Keto…. Dr. Ekberg has hundreds of videos on this.
@@melonaansah2373 I succeeded by following Dr. EKberg and watching all his videos. I did Keto, Intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, MCT oil snd started walking and lifting mild weights. Eating whole foods. No sugar, no processed foods. I also stopped eating wheat and grain products. Fasting and OMAD too. I love the fatty meats that have natural collagen. My skin looks like I lost 20 years. This man speaks 💯 percent truth. Listen to him.
@@melonaansah2373 the only way you really can lose that much without dangerous surgery or pharma garbage is Keto/carnivore diet. All other diets are unsustainable and scammy.
I’m learning so much from your teaching. A year ago I realized I needed to do something for my health. I did some research and decided to start a healthy Keto lifestyle. 3 months later I made my Keto meatloaf and my old recipe for my husband. He asked to taste mine and liked it so much that he asked to put him on the diet as well. Shortly thereafter we started IM (eating at 11 am and 5 pm). I had weighed 174 lb. when I started (and on blood pressure meds). My husband was almost 400 lbs. and on 3 medications for type 2 diabetes, as well as a statin and meds for blood pressure. To date I’ve lost 60 lbs. and am off my BP meds. My husband has lost 100 lbs., reversed his insulin resistance, got off his diabetes meds and statins. After being basically sedentary he has started walking as well. It’s a lifestyle for us. Eating healthy has us both doing so much better. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Hello ma'am, may I ask? how do you administer your BP medication with your fasting? do you take your medicine after eating your breakfast? or taking it earlier than 11am?
@@zawnaiahslofttv5049 We take our medications with our meals.
Only within the last 3 weeks i started watching a lot of Dr. Ekberg's video. I am giving him a nod above all other health gurus here. Why? His information and explanations are clear, comprehensive based on experiments and research but above all realistic. He takes into account, in my opinion, the nature of man. He doesn't advocate for sudden changes and demands, and you could choose from his presentation how you want to pursue good health. BTW, i could tell you all, from all points, intermittent fasting /fasting on the whole is a cure for the body and for self adjustments where necessary The organs are not at hard work, digesting foods, and therefore all organs could adjust itself where need be, this is my humble opinion. BUT it's a fact that fasting could NEVER be bad for you!

you are so very welcome, Doctor. Keep up the splendid work and indeed the human body is a miracle. Our body is way more intelligent that us, if that makes any sense.@@drekberg
I agree 💯! I began my health journey in May ‘23 with him and had incredible success. I adopted a keto and intermittent fasting lifestyle (plus I did a 3-day water fast at the end of my first 30 days and it literally cured me of a painful muscle problem I had for 40 years - no joke)!! I’ve watched so many other channels since then, but his is the absolute best!!!
I've been following Dr. Ekberg for almost 2 years. He approaches all topics with a calm demeaner and tries to stay with the science and/ or his own experience. But 1 thing, fasting can be bad for you. You need nutrients. Intermittent fasts are great and perfectly healthy. Unfortunately, some people taking fasting to extremes, and it becomes unhealthy and dangerous. The fasting Dr. Ekberg encourages is good for you though.
Please, why I get constipated while fasting and low carb diet?

I just finished week 1 of the 16 / 8 intermittent fasting protocol and I LOVE IT! Amazing the changes just in one week. Less appetite, better sleep, my skin glows, more energy and I eat much less.
I have been fasting 6pm to 10am for about a year now.. with healthy food and some excersise.. WITHOUT any medication all my cholestrol levels came down to a normal, blood sugar levels and thyroids came down.. i was 59kg when i started now im at 51 kg.. iits just a miracle how my body healed just by doing this one step of fasting and cutting out junk.. if i can do it so can you.. start slow and you will never regret.. ❤❤ start today!!!
Thank you for encouragment.😊❤
Been watching for 3 years and gradually got my will power to intermittent fasting to once a day for 6 months now and been without sugar, bread, and processed foods for 2 months. Euvexia helps premiumly. He definitely knows what he is talking about. Lost 84 lbs within the 6 months. Feel great! Ty Dr. Ekberg!
I am ten months Ketovore (mostly Carnivore with a rare fruit or veggie that my body tolerates well). I usually skip breakfast and eat around 2-4 p.m. It has become so easy now... Moreover, 46 pounds lost, sleep apnea gone, eczema gone, sugar cravings gone. Thank you!
Wow. Much respect! 🤜

@@nichegoseberazdvatri generally twice a day, but it depends whether I am hungry or not. If I'm not, I don't eat. Sometimes I eat three times a day, but very rarely. I still have difficulty eating enough, though.

Dr. Elbert, you are super convincing. The way you explain things makes it easy to understand and do. I appreciate your time and effort to make these videos 🙏
I always struggle a bit to stick to my fast around lunch and dinner time and watching videos like this helps keep me motivated.
Going into month 13 of low carb keto life. Have done three 96+ hour fasts last year and aim for one each quarter 2024. I doubt I could ever do a seven day fast.
I still crave sugar and get my fix with whipping cream/baking cocoa/allulose stiffened up and frozen strawberries folded in.
I've lost 140lbs and the good Dr. keeps me motivated in learning about and improving my health.
Wow, congrats!!! 🎉
So glad you didnt bring this video out during the Christmas period. This will help a lot of new OMAD / Keto followers on how to do it right
Best video I've ever watched at 2x speed. His voice works amazing at that speed. ...I'm ADHD.. on day 6 of fasting
You have changed my life! I came across my first video 2 years ago and accidentally. All that you stated rang true for me. I knew it was so important to share the link with so many in my life that are not healthy. I am a healthy 55 yr old woman on no medications and no negative health issues at all. I thought i was headed to a knee replacement because of pain, i never went to a doctor it just hurt so much. However, after i watched that first video, I cut out sugar for 14 days (even hidden sugar) The pain went away. I was shocked. I shared that first video with so many including my husband. It helped my best friend also; she changed her lifestyle too!. Sadly, everyone else ignored the message of sugar being so harmful, inflammation, etc. I fail occasionally and eventually get back on track (sadly not until i start feeling the effects of the inflammation again usually around the holidays).
I usually do OMAD when i am being healthy. I get satiated when i eat, how many calories should i be trying to eat with OMAD. I eat mostly all healthy food,. Mostly organic? i also drink approximately 64 oz of water every day or more and add electrolytes to my water. I know i get less than the required number of calories.
Thank you for all the information you provided in your videos. You are a blessing.
One of your best videos yet. Very clear and to the point; The slides in the audio track very well. Thank you for what you do and keep up the really great work.
I’ve been doing time restricted eating for over a year now. Skipping breakfast for me is easier. My eating window is 6 hours. But I have lately been including what I call “Metabolic Monday”. My last meal is Sunday night around 6 pm then my next meal isn’t until later Tuesday morning. Works out to about a 40 hour fast. During my fast I only have water, black coffee, salt, and electrolytes. BTW, I like Dr. Ekberg’s electrolyte product. Works for me!
Thank you @SalLazuka for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. Metabolic Monday, I love it. Or how about Transformative Tuesday. I'll have to play with it. Maybe it can be a theme or something. Hope all is well with you. 😄
@@drekberg I originally thought of naming it, Mealless Monday. But that sounded too much like a diet and just to lose weight. Metabolic Monday is much more in my thinking now. 😊
If you do what this man explains to you in every one of his videos , I promise, you’ll start living your best life!! Promise!! Thank you Doc. For saving my life! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your routine sounds very similar to mine! The only difference is that after IF from Sunday to Friday, I go from Friday night to Saturday night for a 24 hour fast. Additionally, every 3 months at the change of seasons, I do a 40-42 hour fast from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. But very similar to you! Have lost 46 pounds in 18 months, and back to my high school weight.
Doesn't electrolytes have sodium in them already?

Three years ago I was fortunate to have ran into Dr. Sten Ekberg's channel. The education on this subject changed my life, in the first year I lost 70lbs and my a1c came down from 8.3 to 6.8. I have maintained my weight and a1c is at present 6.1.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg 🙏
to bring A1C down further, consider going carnivore.
Learn more from you than any doctor I’ve spoken to. Thank you for making these videos!! Can’t wait to get started on a better diet. 😊
I was so sick with stomach bug over new years weekend. Started Friday and vomited 3 days. Migraines and nausea for two more. I was already fasting so I might as well keep at it. In one week 11 lbs down. Continue to fast, eat one meal a day. Going carnivore. Ive got about 60 lbs to go. I feel so much better with just 11 lbs off , cant wait for more. Thank you for your videos.
I am 71 years old. I lost 100 pounds two years ago and I have kept it off. Went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. My doctor is amazed with my blood work. A1C is 4.6 and triglycerides are 47. Fasting and keto/carnivore works.
I do confirm. 50 lbs off, during 7 months!
I've been intermittent fasting (between 16-20h per day) for almost 15 years now (at least 5 days a week). 5 years ago I started working as a RN at a hospital, and they have food EVERYWHERE...there's always cake, sweets, snacks and biscuits at every break 😀. I remember how hard it was the first days on the job to always say "no thanks, I'm fasting" and all the obese nurses were shocked and said "Really? I heard that's not healthy!" while munching down on a cookie 😀. I saw it as a test of willpower and nowadays I'm no longer tempted at all. So there is a habituation effect.
The cult thinking in the medical community is blinding to the extreme. Huge obese people are always worried about their cholesterol (oh yeah that’s their #1 problem sarcasm 🤣). I love my high cholesterol. I need to ask my doc for a medication to raise it 😉.
What benefits would you say you enjoy from your fasting? Thank you
@@socratese5 I started it in my 20s when I was doing a lot of powerlifting and eating a lot of junk food. I realized that when I fast for 16-20h I can eat as much of that crap as I want in one sitting and still not get fat 🙂. Also on workdays it's nice not to have to think about where to get lunch and what to get, 'cause the answer is always "nothing". I also kinda stopped being hungry, my colleagues always start talking about how hungry they are an hour before lunch time and how weak they feel because of it, I don't care at all, my energy is on a high level all day long. Also I used to get really tired after lunch and working in the afternoon sucked...on a fast that problem is gone.
@@vihta545 great thank you for the reply, thinking of doing intermittent fasting myself
@@socratese5 np. always happy to see a fellow human trying to find the perfect diet for him/her. Give it a go, there's no downsides...even if you only do it for a few days you will at least learn that what you thought was "hunger" is actually just "routine" 🙂
Thank you for making this make sense! Changed my life forever!!! I'm in a month and dropped 22 pounds of water/ weight. I no longer take medicine for my arthritis. I sleep great and take the stairs at work. My focus is outstanding and I'm actually happy even when faced with "not so great" days. I can't even imagine how good I'm going to feel in the future but I AM looking forward to it 💚

Agreed re the electrolytes. I used your product, which we love, and it definitely made my 3 day fast easier to sustain.
Thanks to the videos of Dr. Sten Ekberg I’m so much more aware of the risks of eating too often and the benefits of eating less often. There was a time I woke up in the middle of the night to snack. Now I try to eat just once a day. Today is actually the first day where I went to the gym in the morning and didn’t have any cravings or food after. I just had my normal warm meal in the evening. Kudos to you for your dedication and your life changing videos Dr. Sten Ekberg 🙏
Will always thank this man for helping me understand human health. Down 40lbs feel great. I try to spread the message but most are stuck in matrix.
You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. I’ve experienced a tremendous metabolic/weight shift since I started following Dr E’s channel. My family, friends and coworkers have noticed and been complimentary, but they keep on doing what they’re doing. I don’t preach, but when they ask I simply tell them about the shift to low carbs and IF. If they are interested to find out more, they will reach out to me one day. Or maybe not.

Continually impressed with Dr. Ekberg. I truly believe he’s on a mission. Yes, he mentioned a product he invented, but I believe his primary goal is to help people. He has been a key influencer of mine to propel me on my journey to health and long-term wellness. Thank you!
As always, you are spot on Dr Ekberg! About three years ago, with the help of TH-cam, videos and a keto lifestyle I lost about 30 kg. I kept it off for a year, but after while I started eating higher carb food, because I thought it will not hurt I can handle it. So I gained back 10 kg and since then, I cannot lose it. I eat once a day, fasting for a week approximately every three months, and when I eat, I eat very little. My weight will not go down no matter what and I didn’t know why? Your video just explained it, so very much appreciated! I will change my eating habits and I will let you know about the outcome later!
Watch at 14:40, you could be restricting calories too much
Great information. I sure wish that my 3 type 2 diabetic siblings would consider this way of eating. My younger brother and his wife have NA fatty liver, she was very sick with it. I asked them what their fasting INSULIN was and they said their A1C was good (on meds of course).
They all think I’m nuts, maybe, but I’m not diabetic, and I’m doing it to make sure that I don’t become diabetic. Our mom and dad were type 2, the 3 siblings are type 2 and I am the only one not type 2.
I am thankfully grateful to Sten Ekberg, God bless you every single day.

How did you go? I've been fasting for a while now just 16:8 but did my 1st 24 then 36 hr and felt amazing. If your female it's definitely important to fast knowing your hormones and cycle.
@@buffy2658 hello, I am doing ok, I immediately transitioned to 18:6 on my 2nd day and been doing that for 3 wks with 24 hrs fasting once or twice a wk (before or before and after a dinner outside once a wk) and i lost about 6 lbs. However, I might have to slow down on my fasting coz I have finally seen my endocrinologist and she's suspecting an autoimmune disease that attacks my thyroid, not DM type 2 but started me with metformin while the tests have not gone back. That aside, fasting have helped lower down my daily blood glucose as well, I dont reach 200 anymore and it generally went down from 160-180mg/dl upon waking up to just 120-140mg/dl (without medication).
@@buffy2658 I cannot see my reply to you anymore to answer your question 🤔
Been doing 16/8 for two months, sometimes one meal a day. Losing weight, slowly, for the first time in years. Find it’s easy to do.
This is my first time for fasting and I'm glad I run into this guy, I can't wait to see what happens.
I continue to suffer from loss of taste after undertaking intermittent fasting but took it to an extreme regime. Trying to replace the missing nutrients. Very useful video.
Dr Sten Ekburg....Thank you! Please pass your channel on to someone you can trust when you leave this earth. These videos will continue to change lives long after you are gone! God bless you man!
You might like Jason Fung as well. Both are excellent source of info.
Another quality life saving video, thanks Dr Ekberg!
You are welcome @harryo989. Thank you for watching. 😄
Dr. Ekberg❤️, I love watching your videos. They are so easy to understand, and they changed our lives for the better.
Thank you, Sir. 🙏
I have done intermittent fasting for well over a decade and I’m polycystic which means I release too much insulin, resulting in low blood sugar.
I have my first meal or break fast at 11 a.m. and I eat as much as I want but it must be from the various groups!
You MUST know your body!!
If I have proteins without carbs, it sets up a crash a few hours later and I’m stuck for the day.
Polycystic people must never do KETO!!
I wish I discovered your channel before I was diagnosed with fatty liver. For a week now, I’ve cut out sugar, and do intermittent fasting, and in a week I lost 3kg! It’s unbelievable! Of course had sugar withdrawals but they are getting much easier! I eat a strawberry or an apple! I have begun my journey to reverse my fatty liver, lose weight, be healthy and create a new lifestyle!
Last January my HOMA-IR level was 3.50. By November 2023, it was down to 1.4, almost the coveted 1.0. I still have to get my belly circumference down; but I’m on my way. Hubby is a type 2 diabetic, and in April is hoping to be off his medication entirely. His A1C was 9.5 in January, 2023, and by May had gone down to 5.5! He’s went down 10 pant sizes since March, when we changed our lifestyle. I’ve gone down 8 sizes. We each have lost 75 pounds! Think about it, we’ve lost a person between us! We have NO cravings, and are far enough away from how we “used to eat”, that “going back” isn’t an option. Thankfully I’ve always cooked from scratch, and have never really used many processed foods. Luckily we both hate eating out, we introduced fasting, which allows us to be able to afford great organic foods, purchased at local organic farms. We stopped eating crap, eating after 7:30pm, got on our treadmill everyday X 30 mins, and kept doing strength training with a personal trainer 2 hours a week. I’ve learned to make my own butter, mayo, salad dressings, sour cream, cottage cheese, and have stopped buying anything “low fat or sugar free”. IF we can do it, anyone can. Having a committed partner makes it easier and keeps you on track. It’s a relief to go to the grocers now, and just shop the outside aisles, staying away from chips, pop, candy, and chocolate. It’s also nice to not worry tonight what’s for supper tomorrow night, because you’re fasting X 36 hours. Good luck! Remember, it’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle or life plan you’re on.
If anyone is just starting out and struggling, don't worry, it's difficult in the beginning, don't be afraid to eat when the hunger becomes too hard to take, but before you know it, 2 meals a day will be all you need. I didn't believe it's possible but here I am, 6 weeks in, doing just fine. Just make sure to make those meals big but calorie-smart.
Congrats!! I’m only 7 months into this lifestyle but you are so right, stick with it cuz you will reap the rewards!! The encouragement from commenters on all of Dr E’s videos is incredible! It’s a very supportive community!!
If you just eat meat you won't get hungry. The protein in meat reduces the hunger hormone Ghrelin and the fat in meat is satiating.
Glad I've gained a lot of knowledge from your videos. If this was the first I'd watched, I'd probably think you were just building up to sell us your product. I know this isn't the case as this is the first (of many many) videos I've seen where you advertise something. Thank you for all the advice and making it all make sense ❤👍
Started 2 yrs ago 6 by 18. In one year went from 210 to160. Second year have kept all the weight off. Now I'm on day 4 of a prolonged fast to start year 3.
I've watched every video this Dr. has put out over this time. Even watched many of his older video's.
This information works. Im 58 and the only thing I can say is I wished I found this great man's information sooner.
All my best to everyone on their health journey to a better life ✨️
Can you have rabbit pie on fast days?
@christrickett3291 I only drink water with electrolytes when prolonged fasting, and I dont eat anything.
@@MileHighCrypto66which electrolyte supplements do you use please?
@mzashanti9587 I used the electrolytes that this Dr. sells on his website. Although you can buy electrolytes at any health food store.
Are you doing keto as well?! ❤ awesome results SO inspiring!
You are absolutely amazing!! In all of your videos, you explain things so well, and are extremely thorough. So many of us wish desperately to be healthy (and often need to lose extra fat)…. There is so much conflicting information out there, and it becomes important to find those experts to trust! I have increased my knowledge regarding health and nutrition tremendously in the last couple of years; I only sometimes wish I had you to personally tell me exactly what I need to eat and drink for my own personal health goals (I’m 60!). 😂 I am still working all that out. Thank you so much for all that you share. 😃
Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos! Ils sont vraiment utiles 😊
My life is forever changed because of Dr. Ekberg.
At 20:47, speaking of euLyte, I hope there will be an unsweetened version in 2024, since I try to avoid all natural and artificial sweeteners.
I LOVE your explanation, it's so easy to understand. Real eye-openers! 🤩
Intermittent fasting has been life changing for me. There have been so many health benefits for me.
Hello Dr. Ekberg, would your health advices still work for someone without a gallbladder, especially eating just twice a day and eating good fats? I would be very interested to learn your knowledge about the right kind eating lifestyle for people without gallbladder. I've learned so much from your channel and I try to impart this knowledge I obtained from you to the people close to me who I think would be interested. You can just imagine how foreign your concepts are to most of the people. Heck, even I am a health care provider and I raised my eyebrow more than once while watching you!
🎉thank you good dr!! What a good teacher, everything he teaches not only checks out, it works 100% of the time!😊
Thank You !, This was the video that answers the comment I placed on another video of yours, Great videos Dr Ekberg much appreciated from NZ, ❤ the content have hit the Bell, liked and Subcribed !!!
I always look forward to Friday, not even because the work week ends, but because in the morning I will watch a new video from Dr. Ekberg.
Have a blissful wonderful New year Dr Sten Erkberg .
I will be the first to watch because Friday normally finds me on my Autophagy Marathon
Thank you @jayianian. Good for you. 😄
Knowledge is tool . Thanks for this tool 😊
I have lost 40 lbs. in three months by following these tenets and by walking six times a week. 🎉 Still more to go, but what a relief it is to have finally settled on a sustainable process.
Thank you Dr Sten Ekberg
I have found it easy to skip breakfast and have dropped 10kg in less than a year.
Thank you @waynebrown6553 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Two years ago I did exactly what you're saying now; bit by bit moved breakfast back and brought tea/supper forward until I was fasting sixteen hours. Between your information and Dr Eric Bergs information I have gone from 12½ st to 10½st (42" waist to 34" waist) bear in mind I'm only 5' 4" tall. Now I'm 11st owing to building muscle over the last two years but my waist has dropped to 32" and my blood pressure has dropped from 160 to 117-119.
Intermittent fasting is very effective at sorting the crap out in the body!
♥️♥️🦋 Hi Dr Sten. Your videos are the highlight of every week for me. I always look forward so much listening to you. 💋 I love your old videos so much too. They are more intimate and informal. I would love to have been one of the people there listening to you speak.
Thank you @lee-anne2353 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
@@drekberg ♥️it’s a pleasure
Same with me. Though I am already very thin but still I feel more fit and comfortable following intermittent fasting regime.
Very clear explanation. Short and to the point.
7 months , at 74 closing on 75. intermittent fasting , low carbs. WORKS!!!! Question does our body produce insulin as needed in proportion to all food or as the amount carbs?
Thank you @henrysponsel853. I've talked about this in some videos. For a rough estimate it works like this: If we call the insulin response to carbs 100, then protein would be in the 10's and fat would be low single digits like 0-3. All depending on quantity of course. 😄
There are two main causes for insulin being produced.
First is your basal insulin. This is the background insulin that your pancreas produces on a regular schedule completely separate from what you eat. This is to make sure your body has insulin in your blood because it is an important hormone for multiple purposes. Your basal insulin can be up to 50% of your total insulin (assuming there isn't type 1, taking extraneous insulin, etc.)
Second is due to high blood glucose. Most often this will because of eating simple carbs which quickly digest and go into the blood stream as glucose. The body does for two reasons: (1) to get that energy source into your cells so it can be used for energy, and (2) high blood glucose is damaging to the blood vessel walls. It will cause them to become brittle and eventually break. This is why long term type 2 diabetics have problems with their eyes and feet. Those small blood vessels will break and prevent nutrients getting to a portion of those cells which cause them to slowly die.
I'm so glad I know English... best man I've ever met in my life...
If you do what this Man explains on all his videos, I promise you’ll start living your best life! Promise! Thank you Doc.for saving my life!👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I should say dr Ekberg is the person who has the greatest impact on my life, the way I am aware of my organism and its functioning in all dimensions. The total science on human that really totally works in practice. I am a living example of it - a man who lost about 40 kg, enjoys mountain trekking 200km per 4-5day, running 200+km per month, or lake swing 5-6km per session, and started to do these activities in my late 40ties/early 50ties. I didn't imagine this would be ever possible. Thank you dr Ekberg for sharing the knowledge. Greetings from Poland.
I have dropped 3KG since last July I started following Dr. Ekberg’s theory. I didn’t even know I lost weight till now. Thanks! 😊
So how can we do it in consistently?
Thanks!
Thank You @SalLazuka so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
