      Dr Ekberg, please do a video linked to this one explaining the randle cycle for your viewers. the randle cycle known since the 1960s is the reason and how the body reacts to carbs and fat simultaneously.
      in essence, never eat carbs and fat together as it will activate the randle cycle in the body which will make you fat and insulin resistant Long term.
      everyone should know about the randle cycle and how to eat correctly.
      the human body needs ZERO exogenous carbohydrates in our diets. we produce enough needed for our brains on demand.
      low carb high fat is the way to eat.
      low fat high carb will slowly kill you over time.
      thanks

      You are seriously playing with people's heads. That's hilarious! Bacon is a carcinogenic disaster! Toxins are stored in the fat of animals so that diet is a precursor to every cancer known to man, and it's also high in uric acid which would be a great diet for someone who wants arthritic bone degeneration. Good luck with that diet. 🙄

      My father was born in 1928. When they were in their early seventies, my parents moved to a retirement center with 3 buffet meals a day. Dad didn’t have exotic food tastes. He ordered every morning a cheese omelette and bacon. He also liked having papaya (this was in Hawaii) each day. He also loved avocado. But he had bacon most every morning for the last 20 years of his life, and he made it to 89.5. 🤍my favorite person🤍

    I was lucky enough to find this nice sugar and curing salt-free bacon in my super market. I started keto last year in May, and the bacon was a very important part to make it work for me. I fry a couple of stripes in my iron cast pan every morning, then I fry 3 eggs on the rendered fat. I add some vegetables and I get the perfect breakfast. I went from 36% to 20% body fat in 6 months, I started doing weightlifting and I have increased my muscle mass while keeping my fat % steady at 20%. thanks bacon 🔥🥓🔥

    I always like your content Dr Ekberg. Before I write my novel-long story related to sugar and fat, I want to thank you because you help a lot understanding all this a bit better, so I can help others being able myself to explain how all this works, blood glucose, insuline resitance, metabolic syndrone(all stuff I suffered without relly being conscious outside the fact doctors tried to make me take pressure pills, which I refused before changing my life habits for good and this is the key, NEW HABITS, FOR LIFE)
    My parents at 75 keeps thinking saturated fat is bad. But they breakfast everyday with bread and margarine and they're sure it's the most healthy way of living..
    You said it, it's been an induced belived for generations, so much that I've been addicted to apple juice(back in the days it was still big cans and I could drank 1 or 2 per day) at age of 3-4 years old. Crazy thing if you ask me, they thought they were doing good as it was suggested, sugar, margarine and poly-insaturated fat everywhere(at leats there was a good amount of saturated fat too. Guess what, I've been overweighted for more than 30 years, until a cut carbs of my habits. It wasn't the lack of workout or too much fat, but way too much sugar.
    But at 75, they just listen to what FDA(or such) suggest and they take what family doctor says as absolute truth and they get a lot of their information from cable tv and new channels.
    Parents aren't together anymore, so I couldn't influence positively my father with his fear of saturated fat(but there no butter in the house, except for me when I visit them), but he diminished so much the amout of sugar and just that is a huge milestone as he always been a sugar bug but very very active at the same time, which helps having a great heart.
    Finally, as for my mom, I was able to have a bigger impact to have her cutting canola and other omega-6, diminishing sugar and desserts and even getting her understanding how blood glucose works.(she has a grandson with diabete type 1 who his heatlh has been inpacted so much a 22, because he failed to take care of his insulin and diet for too long that now he has incontinence issues and even vision issues.) Fortunately outside of that sugury part of the diet when I was young, my mom has been at home full time until I was 15(divorce), so we never went to fastfood before and she always cooked healthy food and despite the juice load with carbs, she never bought sodas. Most of the sugar was not coming from her food, but we were adding it form nutella, sugary cereal etc etc etc,a although there was potatos at very meal.

      Check out Thomas DeLauer talk about how potatoes can have a much lesser glucose spike depending on how they are prepared, for example microwaved is best, chilled afterwards is even better. To mitigate insulin response, eat AFTER protein, fat &/or fiber, or even just loaded up with protein & fat heavy toppings. I am doing mostly carnivore right now, but I still add about a quarter of a loaded potato a couple times a week for variety (as well as the added benefit of carb cycling). Every body has different needs, so YMMV; try to discover what works best for YOU.

    I think this guy gets it. Great video. it’s really about the big picture as well. There’s so many foods offered to us that just go together and nobody thinks about. I changed how I do things. There’s a lot of stuff you don’t need to eat. Think society consumes way more sugars and carbs in drinks than they realize too. That’s the hidden stuff that’s so easy to pile up. And nobody’s getting a shortage of fat in their diets. Love the messaging here. Many foods are assumed to be bad just because.

    I went carnivore back in December and ate lots of raw, fatty, bacon to get as much fat as possible. Just thought I'd let you know that I was able to easily remember my dreams after about 2 weeks where as before I was eating lots of carbs and couldn't remember any dreams. This is important for those of us that are working with a spiritual teacher who can take us on Soul Travel journeys out of the body. Lots of insights into life can come from dreams so remembering them is handy. I'm able to get a far better rest when sleeping also. It feels like a very deep and healing type of sleep. I'm even dreaming and remembering them between 10 minute hits of the snooze button. I guess the saturated fat in bacon really helps the brain. I'm able to buy sugar free bacon from a local butcher. I wake up a lot earlier in the morning feeling fully refreshed and ready to go. So lots of improvements from a high fat carnivore diet although I still have nerve problems in the hands. I'm a 64 yo guy. Thanks so much for your ongoing excellent explanations of health.

I drink a tall glass of water with a Tsp each of ACV and pure lemon juice to it , with a few drops of fluid stevia added. I am 80 y o now, and I feel great. To my own surprise I still look forward to that lunch every day (no breakfast).
    I started eating this food the day I learned not to be scared of saturated fat but embrace the LCHF life style.

    This may be a bit premature, but I have been a vegetarian for 5+ years but recently made the hard choice to start incorporating bacon into my Keto diet, which I have been on now for about 5 weeks, due to having episodes of severe low blood sugar crashes - although I noticed Keto (before I introduced bacon) was helping me not have the sugar crashes, I was still having bouts of low blood sugar symptoms (anxiety, foggy, disoriented/confusion/not able to think properly and 0 mental/physical energy) between meals and sometimes after a meal...
    That being said, tonight was my 5th meal including bacon and I have noticed feeling gradual improvements with each meal that I have bacon. I started noticing since this morning's meal that I actually have steadier energy levels between my two meals for the first time and I feel I have mental/physical energy that continues even after I eat that I haven't experienced in maybe a year or more - I had forgotten what it was like to feel I have energy for years now... Only just now realizing the difference. I feel more me for the first time in maybe years (just hadn't noticed because I was so used to it).
    So I have NO idea why this is occurring for me (I know meat provides essential nutrients many vegetarians/vegans have to find another way to get) but I feel so relieved that the bacon not only seems to be giving me more energy, it seems to be keeping my blood sugars balanced. Read about it, not sure how. Just so grateful. I feel like I am getting my life back, as crazy as that may sound.
    Although I am still adjusting to doing something that is against my morals in regard to the well-being of animals, I learned that sometimes for your health, you may have to make these choices against your morals... I thank the beautiful animal for how he/she is helping me heal and better my health.

      @@Latoree33 I eat AT LEAST a whole pack of bacon 4-5 times per week. I’m the leanest and most muscular and strongest I’ve ever been doing carnivore past 18 months

      Absolutely, also watch Dr Berry's video on bacon and nitrates. We make way more in our body than we could possibly consume because our body needs them. So true that it is a fallacy. People need to start seeing the truth.

    I've been doing the BBB&E diet (Beef, Butter, Bacon & Eggs) for the past 3 weeks, and my energy has shot through the roof. In fact, I woke up early and jumped on my rowing machine and did a 10k session, which is the first time it's been possible for me to do since 2017! More importantly, my blood sugars are under control. The most obvious side effect is that I don't have to run to the bathroom every couple of hours. I thought it was due to the diuretic I'm on, but turns out it was just because I was trying to flush out all the sugar from my blood stream. That sugar was also what was making me so lethargic I could barely do one kilometer on my rowing machine. Now I'm alert, sleeping soundly, and looking forward to my labs next month (instead of dreading it) when I get my next checkup.
