One year now I do intermitted fasting (2 meals a day) and follow a low carb diet (just eating a fruit or a middle portion of potato per day) I do walk a lot and I have started bike! I dropped from 75 kg to 65 like zero pain and I keep dropping!!! My skin glowes and my energy levels and concentration are really high!
Dr. Ekburg, You are doing more than any doctors have done all my life. I have lost 18 kg in 2.5 months with intermittent fasting. My waist has gone from 38 to 34. I follow the 20 / 4 IF routine, dropped suger and sodas, walk one hour 5 times a week. I feel lighter, more focused and happier. I love the way Shirts and T shirts look so much better on me. I can even wear slim fit jeans now ! God bless you.
Started 16 hour fasting (with Keto) on May 4th. So far I’ve lost 30 pounds. started at 242lbs and now at 212lbs. I feel better and at 64yrs of age are getting around easier. It works.
That's awesome and coincidentally the same weight I started too (I'm 57). I've been doing it about 3 weeks and lost about 8LBS so far. I've had surge in walking energy and now up to 15K steps a day from 10K.
@@PresumptuousInsect I don’t count calories - but try to reduce carbs to a point that I’m maintaining or losing a couple pounds each week. When I started Keto initially I reduced carbs to below 30grams per day and the weight came off pretty easily. Started at 242 and I’m at 210 now and comfortable here for now.
The more you teach me about how we get fat, the more Motivation I have to stay away from alcohol and fructose and to keep up my intermittent fasting. I know (!) I’m healthier because of YOU, Dr. Ekberg! God bless you!💟😃🙋♀️
A apple a day keeps the doctor away now a apple will make you fat ? It seems extreme . A natural fruit with vitamins and natural fruit surger will make me fat ? This makes me question point of view .

I had a major weight loss with Keto. Much to my surprise, my belly fat, though decreased, still persisted! Even hundreds of crunches won't do much until one becomes a fat-burning machine. Fasting is definitely the key! Teaching is your gift! I can't wait to share this! Thank you.🌹
@@celesteinman56 I totally agree with you. Reverse sit-ups are great! My point, however, is that a six-pack with layers of fat over it is no six-pack at all! Too many videos tout "spot reducing," which really isn't possible.
Where you have more or less fat on your body is independent from what muscles you are exercising. In fact, if eg. you focus heavily on abs, those will grow and push the belly fat (if you have any) out, making your belly look larger, even though most of it is muscle.
We are both in our 80's and still believe in having a strong body and a calm mind. This was an interesting video and we learned a lot. We are doing research for our new YT channel that is all about healthy aging. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
I think a healthy attitude and outlook makes a big difference. I get annoyed with my husband when talks about being "old." He's only 69! I don't think of myself as old and if I were called elderly I'd be mad!
I love your attitude!!! I hope mine will be the same. Right now still recovering from a bad fall on my knee. Never felt my young age of 62 until this fall. Found distilled water that I make has helped me to heal quicker. Getting back to myself. Bless you.

I started IF 6 months ago, lost 20 kg. I love this way of live. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for a wake-up call and please keep posting these kind of videos. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Oops I gave up booze and ate a great bowl of fruit every day. I gained 9 lbs in a month. I'm gonna go back to skipping breakfast and having black coffee. Fruit did that to me before I recall.
I've been doing keto rigorously for two years with great success. I only recently discovered Dr. Ekberg and find his presentations and advice the best of of all the extensive research I've done on the subjects of diet and nutrition. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
ive lost 25 pounds from intermitten fasting and ive reduced my high blood presure with keto its only been one month so i still have a ways to go but im on track to reaching my goal of getting of my medication . i love keto food and i feel so great and intermitten fasting is very rewarding but a little uncomfortable at times its still so rewarding . i recomend doing your exersise rutine in a fasted state . Dr ekberg saved my life! thank you Dr Ekberg !
I have learnt so much about improving my health from your videos, your presentations are so well thought out and delivered in such a calm, helpful manner. Many thanks.
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekburg. I find your UA-cam videos so helpful and full of sincerity. You are by far the easiest health champion to listen to and learn from on UA-cam. I am on my keto journey and find your videos very easy to understand and I thank you for that. Lots of love and hugs from Galway Ireland 🌈🌞🙂
I just start 11 days ago to do IF 16 : 8 and low carb high protein and veggies... i'm loosing 4 kg right now from 94 to 90, i learn so much and try to disipline my mouth from craving all the time😁😁😁
60%+ of my stomach was in my diaphragm apparently for many years until I had the operation. I think this made it hard for me to lose weight. Covid restrictions saw me lapse my keto which I started 6 months before lockdown and restrictions stress. All being much better in Australia now, I am loving your videos and hope to get back on track.
Thank you. I had never heard of Cushing’s disease before this vid. I’m certain that I was struggling with Cushing’s and high cortisol levels before adopting the Keto lifestyle.
Hi Dr. Ekberg. Love the life saving education you are imparting. Have been religiously following your recommendations. I’ve lost over 20 lbs in 3 months!! I’m a type 2 diabetic. Would love some education on fat loss from the perspective of diabetes. Thanks so much!!
When I first listened to your video I thought I’d never be able to fast or give up sugar but I have and I’m losing weight and feeling great at the same time
Good Afternoon Doctor. I have been on Keto for 3 years and I only eat 1 meal a day for the past 7 months. I have never drank alcohol. I work out 2 times a week. I cannot get rid of my belly button fat. My belly button is not a circle, it is a horizontal line. No matter what I do it will not go away. I weigh 173 and have lost 67 pounds. I have went down to 160 and still can’t get rid of it. I am 5’11”
I’m confused. Don’t fruits provide necessary vitamins that we need? I thought sugar from fruits was different than processed sugars and the fibre in fruits helped offset the sugar in fruit? Could you do a video on these items to help me understand please? Thank you. Love your videos and explanations.
Great video by Dr Sten as always. I do OMAD and burpees (HIIT) on most days. The results are beyond expectation. I have tried everything and I am so happy to have finally reach the promised land. Thank you Dr!
You are like a good hearted father with important health and life advice. I have improved so much by following this simpel principles from keto to meditation. 🧡

Doesn’t the fibre in the fruit counteract the fructose in the fruit and vegetables, so it doesn’t effect your liver in the same way as mixed sugary drink.
Dr. Ekberg, I feel great when fasting. Usually a 17-20 hour fast. Every day. Been about a week since I started. One major issue is as soon as I eat (protein such as kippers or tuna and a salad or grilled veggies - no starchy carbs) I CRASH... become so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open. And it persists over the next few hours. I take a 20 minute nap, go for a long dog walk/dance, keep drinking water (so much water!) but I'm toast. This has happened every day since I've started. Feel great in fast. Feel like the walking dead after I eat. I'd love for this NOT to happen. Thoughts? Guidance? Thank you so much for all of the excellent information.
I love your take on the entire intermittent fasting, exercise vs cortisol, cutting sugar and carbs. It's great but sadly it's not the way many people like to eat. I suffer anxiety so yoga, meditation, light exercise is perfect for me. Thank you so much you have clarified this entire food, sugar, insulin, and growth hormone idea. Now I have to get away from people with bad diets. Haha
Thank you Dr Ekberg, I have lost 18Kg on my own since January 2021. It hasn’t been difficult with your help. I seem to be slowing down a little and I am eager to keep it off. I’m sneaking in a couple of digestives and semolina (Durham wheat) to breakfast. I particularly like the semolina. Could you please give this little person some help by explaining what to do to get back on the wagon again. I love your programs and have been through them over and over. Laila Andre from Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you doc. for the very useful videos. pls what is the best way of washing vegetables before eating .... wash with water at room temp or wash with hot water to kill any bacteria? I do wash with hot water at boiling point. pls advise.
Thanks for your presentations. I really like the new screen instead of the white board. I have a question. Does fermented food really have lower carbs than unfermented? Could old fashioned real sour dough bread have lower carbs? I have heard that vitamins and minerals in fermented foods are more easily accessible to the body. Is that true, and if so, by how much? If you have time to research this, I would appreciate it.
Hi, anytime you’re trying to lose weight.... you eat less the pounds fall off... and we all know sugar is bad so if you don’t eat anything sweet you will remain healthy
I started to gain a lot of weight during my pregnancy and suffered Pregnancy induced Hypertension and struggled to lose all the weight after the birth of my daughter. My BP was constantly high as well even after my pregnancy so was prescribed low dose ANTI-HPT. Then i had PPD as well which does not help my case as I ate a lot because of stress. 😢❤Found Dr. Ekberg’s videos (blessing in disguise) and started my IF (18/6), LCHF diet and low impact exercises last February 05, 2023 and in 2 months I lost 18kg. ❤ as a result of my weight loss my BP normalises 110/60mmHg and Blood glucose level (fasting 8hours) 70mg/dl consistently. Now im out of my medications and I have so much energy everyday and I feel more confident with how zI look and happier with my overall health. Dr. Ekberg basically turned my life around for the better! Thank you so much Doctor! ❤❤❤
One more time millions of thanks to you Doktor. After 5 months of apllaing ewery word that you are teaching as, I loosed 14 kg, and I. Become addicted to your videos. After hudrets videos, books and magazines, finnaly I found the answers of all confuses about healthy diet. You are the best!!!
super! I am doing this for the last 24 days after being diagnosis with high blood sugar (7.7) and I lost 3kg and feel already much better. I fast intermittend, sometimes 16 hours, 24 hours or 36 hours, and eat LC
In my childhood memories fruits were always seasonal. And fruits were always connected with some kind of physical activities. We had garden - to get fruits we have to help to grow it and collect it. It tooks 45 minutes walk, only to rich our garden. Sometimes our mother send us to collect berries in the forest (it started behind our garden). When we wanted cherries - we have to climb the tree. Sometimes we took fruits outside - with bicycles we were cycling to the lake (4km distance ) swimming across the lake and back (1km) and then shared 1/2 kg of cherries with 5 friends. Totally sunburned we were cycling back (again 4km). Sommer ment fruits, but also lot physical activities, sport, nature, sun, and work too. In summer we didn't watch TV, we didn't have computers, whole times we spent outside running, walking, cycling, swimming or helping our parents. When sommer time was over, fresh fruit time was over, too.
Same here Andrea... You are describing my childhood exactly! I actually caused the cherry tree in our backyard to fall over... I used to climb it and sit in a sort of perch that I wove together with branches and after a few years and some growth? It was a perfect spot to sit and gorge myself on the cherry goodness. Of course, then I got a sugar high and would collect up cherries to take to my grandma and would ride my bike there. Or I would visit the lady across the street from my grandma's house and trade her for Rhubarb 😁 She made THE BEST Rubarb pie in the world... If I brought her enough cherries? She would use them to sweeten a rhubarb pie (or two or three)... I actually miss the "Bartering" aspect of my childhood. Ma and my grandma and aunts would make pickles and Sauerkraut and tomatoes/sauce, and pears and cherries from the trees, and my cousin and I would trade this for that with a neighbor or two...
@@johnwilliams8818 I still have a picture my father shot when I was 10 and climbing on "my" cherry tree. (I was very "frequent" visiter on that tree) I had sitting spot on the tree too. I still remember on which branch put my hands and legs. Like it was yesterday.
Q - Isn't exercise a form of stress relief? I play tennis and/or ride my bike 3-4 times per week, and after about 90 minutes high energy exercise it feels like stress relief.
@@drekberg For others who wonder if what you say works. I am 61 and I knew I needed to be patient with results based on what you have said about insulin resistance. I started eating less than 50 net carbs starting 6/1/20, then I took it down to about 20 net carbs 7/1/20 and as of today, 9/19/20 I have lost 16 pounds and 11 pounds of body fat, my A1c was 5.8 on July 22, 20 and today 9/19/20 it is 5.2. Also my glucose readings are very stable in the 80's and 90's and only go to about 103 after eating a meal. Also I intermittent fast at least 14 hours everyday, sometimes 20 hours. Keto is very simple to do and it works. My skin looks great. sleep great. no bloating.
Hey Doctor Ekberg. Just wanted to say. You and your videos have changed my life. Also can you do a video on water filters like Berkey etc. And the toxic chemicals in water?
I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you for sharing informative, life-saving health information! Knowing this information help me are healthful better decisions!!!❤❤
im doing low carb/keto diet for over a year, and 8 months of IF. i saw this vid and i quickly click it cause it catches my attention, thank you for the informations. I'm a new subscriber from Philippines. 😊
I eat LCHF food since 9 years, and I am perfectly fine, but I still have "love handles" that I want to get rid of. I eat about a cup of frozen (thawed!) blueberries and raspberries mixed together, with no added sweeteners, almost every day all year round. I am quite addicted to them... (I don't have fatty liver or insuline insensitivity, I never have any breakfast= one or two meals a day, and I walk my dog 4 times a day.). Are the berries to blame for the floppy love handles around my waist, or is it simply my old age (78)?
I’ve been following you for quite sometime and helped me lost 20lbs which I am very happy and pleased. I haven’t been to my FD to check my sugar level but I’m pretty sure that I am not anymore on a pre-diabetic boarder line and reverse my IR.

Also, when I used to run several miles- I always gained weight the day after running. The days I didn’t exercise, the next morning my was was down. Contrary to what you would think. I eat close to Keto.
I'm fifty-one, and I still have the six pack I had in high school. I guess I have fasted naturally through the years. I gave up drinking ten years ago, as well as sodas. I definitely notice when I overdo the sugar, a headache follows later. I do well with a lot of protein, Dr. Sten.
Scully's House of Thrillers oh my goodness this is amazing I just comment up there 👆 that only after quitting alcohol a year ago and add fasting to my life that I got my six pack Mom of two kiddos under 3/5
I’m 57 and I finally managed to significantly reduce a huge gut after months of inactivity and drinking two bottles of red wine a week. It took some very strenuous exercise, lots of walking, and total elimination of wine and alcohol, among other things. Currently I eat more salmon and halibut and less red meat and chicken, and more veggies but quite a bit of rice. I still don’t quite have a grasp on the fasting thing. Seems like I’ve watched so many videos with different perspectives, I can’t seem to get started.
1. Intermittent Fasting
2. Eat Low Carb (Keto)
3. No alcohol
4. No Fructose/Sugar
5. No Stress - reduce Cortisol
Dang that’s why I’m getting fat. Just watching this while drinking wine and eating ice cream
Thanks
How about physical activity?
Everything he said is accurate...I lost 40 pounds in 2 and half months doing keto along with intermittent fasting(OMAD)

I started IF 6 months ago, lost 20 kg. I love this way of live. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for a wake-up call and please keep posting these kind of videos. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Oops
I gave up booze and ate a great bowl of fruit every day.
I gained 9 lbs in a month.
I'm gonna go back to skipping breakfast and having black coffee.
Fruit did that to me before I recall.
just started keto on august 4th already lost 7 pounds than you dr ekberg for all your videos they helped me a ton

My friend you are a great teacher. You explain things magnificently . You are saving many lives with your information. Cheers
Doc, you are an amazing teacher and a wonderful person. So glad to have come across your video's!
This is why I haven't had a television for 20 years. All the relevant information to live your life can't be found on MSM.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I've been doing keto rigorously for two years with great success. I only recently discovered Dr. Ekberg and find his presentations and advice the best of of all the extensive research I've done on the subjects of diet and nutrition. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
Fruit was seasonal, but people did preserve fruit by canning, drying and making jam.
I'm at 96 hours fast so far, working on reversing diabetes of 15 years.
How plz guide what u do about electrolyte nd sugar medication plz tell others so they can get benefit also
How are you doing that? Please help
That's great news. You can.
Way to go man keep going
Don't do that for that much long time. It can hurt your kidney by production of ketone body.
THANK YOU DR EKBERG FOR YOUR TIME EXPLAINING US HOW WE CAN EAT HEALTHY AND BE HEALTHY, GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That is wonderful information!
The clearer the better.
Now I understand why even when I worked out a lot I did not get such good outcome!
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched today. Thank you so much for the information, day 5 intermittent fasting and trying a keto diet. 🙏🙏
I do appreciate the honest and eye-opening truth that typical family doctors aren’t willing to emphasize. Thank you Dr Sten.
I'm not hearing anything with regards to honey and it's use and ) or benefits if there's anything ...

Dr ekberg saved my life! thank you Dr Ekberg !
I have learnt so much about improving my health from your videos, your presentations are so well thought out and delivered in such a calm, helpful manner. Many thanks.
I have adreno fatigue and have no waist.
Been fasting, today I made some changes: reduce sugar
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekburg. I find your UA-cam videos so helpful and full of sincerity. You are by far the easiest health champion to listen to and learn from on UA-cam. I am on my keto journey and find your videos very easy to understand and I thank you for that. Lots of love and hugs from Galway Ireland 🌈🌞🙂
I just start 11 days ago to do IF 16 : 8 and low carb high protein and veggies... i'm loosing 4 kg right now from 94 to 90, i learn so much and try to disipline my mouth from craving all the time😁😁😁
Just a short video but the learning I got now is HUGE!... 😍 Thank u, Doc Sten as always.
60%+ of my stomach was in my diaphragm apparently for many years until I had the operation. I think this made it hard for me to lose weight. Covid restrictions saw me lapse my keto which I started 6 months before lockdown and restrictions stress. All being much better in Australia now, I am loving your videos and hope to get back on track.
Thank you. I had never heard of Cushing’s disease before this vid. I’m certain that I was struggling with Cushing’s and high cortisol levels before adopting the Keto lifestyle.
Very good.
My mother is getting a big (visceral) belly and she says all the time: but I eat mostly fruit all day, everyday.
Love the way he presents
Banana and Pineapple,Apple We Have It All Year Round Thats Why It Is Safe To Eat and Orange and Grape Fruit.
Thank you I had gotten off track now I am motivated. Going to get veggies now!
Hi Dr. Ekberg. Love the life saving education you are imparting. Have been religiously following your recommendations. I’ve lost over 20 lbs in 3 months!! I’m a type 2 diabetic. Would love some education on fat loss from the perspective of diabetes. Thanks so much!!
When I first listened to your video I thought I’d never be able to fast or give up sugar but I have and I’m losing weight and feeling great at the same time
Good Afternoon Doctor. I have been on Keto for 3 years and I only eat 1 meal a day for the past 7 months. I have never drank alcohol. I work out 2 times a week. I cannot get rid of my belly button fat. My belly button is not a circle, it is a horizontal line. No matter what I do it will not go away. I weigh 173 and have lost 67 pounds. I have went down to 160 and still can’t get rid of it. I am 5’11”
Sir, you are truly amazing. This video sure does help my life.
I’m confused. Don’t fruits provide necessary vitamins that we need? I thought sugar from fruits was different than processed sugars and the fibre in fruits helped offset the sugar in fruit? Could you do a video on these items to help me understand please? Thank you. Love your videos and explanations.
It's working !! Can't wait to see full results.
Thank you Faisal Rafique. I really appreciate your feedback.
Great video by Dr Sten as always. I do OMAD and burpees (HIIT) on most days. The results are beyond expectation. I have tried everything and I am so happy to have finally reach the promised land. Thank you Dr!
Beautifully explained you are genuine Doc. Thank you for such practical videos.
Hands down: One of the best teachers: Very Smart!
You are like a good hearted father with important health and life advice. I have improved so much by following this simpel principles from keto to meditation. 🧡
Thank you Berrit Andersen. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you for this. I am fasting, low carb, more meet, but never stopped drinking alcohol… so let’s try again without A
Doesn’t the fibre in the fruit counteract the fructose in the fruit and vegetables, so it doesn’t effect your liver in the same way as mixed sugary drink.
Fiber can diminish any spike in insulin from the glucose. But Fructose metabolism (conversion) happens in the liver.
Dr. Ekberg, I feel great when fasting. Usually a 17-20 hour fast. Every day. Been about a week since I started. One major issue is as soon as I eat (protein such as kippers or tuna and a salad or grilled veggies - no starchy carbs) I CRASH... become so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open. And it persists over the next few hours. I take a 20 minute nap, go for a long dog walk/dance, keep drinking water (so much water!) but I'm toast. This has happened every day since I've started. Feel great in fast. Feel like the walking dead after I eat. I'd love for this NOT to happen. Thoughts? Guidance? Thank you so much for all of the excellent information.
I learned so much from your videos Doc! Salute to you! You are the best!!!🥳🥳🥳
New on your channel; it seems quite simple now to get rid of my belly; thank you for your good work
I love your take on the entire intermittent fasting, exercise vs cortisol, cutting sugar and carbs. It's great but sadly it's not the way many people like to eat. I suffer anxiety so yoga, meditation, light exercise is perfect for me. Thank you so much you have clarified this entire food, sugar, insulin, and growth hormone idea. Now I have to get away from people with bad diets. Haha
Thank you Dr Ekberg, I have lost 18Kg on my own since January 2021. It hasn’t been difficult with your help. I seem to be slowing down a little and I am eager to keep it off. I’m sneaking in a couple of digestives and semolina (Durham wheat) to breakfast. I particularly like the semolina. Could you please give this little person some help by explaining what to do to get back on the wagon again. I love your programs and have been through them over and over. Laila Andre from Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you for making a distinction between different types of alcohol and not demonizing dry wine ! (as the other famous guru does) Cheers!🍷🍾
Thank you doc. for the very useful videos.
pls what is the best way of washing vegetables before eating .... wash with water at room temp or wash with hot water to kill any bacteria? I do wash with hot water at boiling point. pls advise.
Thanks for your presentations. I really like the new screen instead of the white board. I have a question. Does fermented food really have lower carbs than unfermented? Could old fashioned real sour dough bread have lower carbs? I have heard that vitamins and minerals in fermented foods are more easily accessible to the body. Is that true, and if so, by how much? If you have time to research this, I would appreciate it.
Every video you post helps people save their own lives.Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Hi, anytime you’re trying to lose weight.... you eat less the pounds fall off... and we all know sugar is bad so if you don’t eat anything sweet you will remain healthy
Torture
I started to gain a lot of weight during my pregnancy and suffered Pregnancy induced Hypertension and struggled to lose all the weight after the birth of my daughter. My BP was constantly high as well even after my pregnancy so was prescribed low dose ANTI-HPT. Then i had PPD as well which does not help my case as I ate a lot because of stress. 😢❤Found Dr. Ekberg’s videos (blessing in disguise) and started my IF (18/6), LCHF diet and low impact exercises last February 05, 2023 and in 2 months I lost 18kg. ❤ as a result of my weight loss my BP normalises 110/60mmHg and Blood glucose level (fasting 8hours) 70mg/dl consistently. Now im out of my medications and I have so much energy everyday and I feel more confident with how zI look and happier with my overall health. Dr. Ekberg basically turned my life around for the better! Thank you so much Doctor! ❤❤❤
Love the channel. Gets straight to the meat. Everything was well received!
Good joke about the "Meat"! 😊
One more time millions of thanks to you Doktor. After 5 months of apllaing ewery word that you are teaching as, I loosed 14 kg, and I. Become addicted to your videos.
After hudrets videos, books and magazines, finnaly I found the answers of all confuses about healthy diet.
You are the best!!!
My weekly motivation booster. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
super! I am doing this for the last 24 days after being diagnosis with high blood sugar (7.7) and I lost 3kg and feel already much better. I fast intermittend, sometimes 16 hours, 24 hours or 36 hours, and eat LC
In my childhood memories fruits were always seasonal. And fruits were always connected with some kind of physical activities. We had garden - to get fruits we have to help to grow it and collect it. It tooks 45 minutes walk, only to rich our garden. Sometimes our mother send us to collect berries in the forest (it started behind our garden). When we wanted cherries - we have to climb the tree. Sometimes we took fruits outside - with bicycles we were cycling to the lake (4km distance ) swimming across the lake and back (1km) and then shared 1/2 kg of cherries with 5 friends. Totally sunburned we were cycling back (again 4km). Sommer ment fruits, but also lot physical activities, sport, nature, sun, and work too. In summer we didn't watch TV, we didn't have computers, whole times we spent outside running, walking, cycling, swimming or helping our parents. When sommer time was over, fresh fruit time was over, too.
sounds idylic
Same here Andrea... You are describing my childhood exactly! I actually caused the cherry tree in our backyard to fall over... I used to climb it and sit in a sort of perch that I wove together with branches and after a few years and some growth? It was a perfect spot to sit and gorge myself on the cherry goodness. Of course, then I got a sugar high and would collect up cherries to take to my grandma and would ride my bike there. Or I would visit the lady across the street from my grandma's house and trade her for Rhubarb 😁 She made THE BEST Rubarb pie in the world... If I brought her enough cherries? She would use them to sweeten a rhubarb pie (or two or three)... I actually miss the "Bartering" aspect of my childhood. Ma and my grandma and aunts would make pickles and Sauerkraut and tomatoes/sauce, and pears and cherries from the trees, and my cousin and I would trade this for that with a neighbor or two...
@@johnwilliams8818 I still have a picture my father shot when I was 10 and climbing on "my" cherry tree. (I was very "frequent" visiter on that tree) I had sitting spot on the tree too. I still remember on which branch put my hands and legs. Like it was yesterday.
And wild fruits are almost all very very low sugar. They are more like vitamins than foods and you could not get fat even if you ate them all day.
Lol... you sound very old and miserable...
Dr Ekberg I am very happy for finding your channel, best wishes from Iran ❤️🌹
Valued efforts and information! Thank you doctor!
The duration of this video is also a plus
Q - Isn't exercise a form of stress relief? I play tennis and/or ride my bike 3-4 times per week, and after about 90 minutes high energy exercise it feels like stress relief.
Great information. You have helped me learn so much. Thank you.
Glad to help
@@drekberg For others who wonder if what you say works. I am 61 and I knew I needed to be patient with results based on what you have said about insulin resistance. I started eating less than 50 net carbs starting 6/1/20, then I took it down to about 20 net carbs 7/1/20 and as of today, 9/19/20 I have lost 16 pounds and 11 pounds of body fat, my A1c was 5.8 on July 22, 20 and today 9/19/20 it is 5.2. Also my glucose readings are very stable in the 80's and 90's and only go to about 103 after eating a meal. Also I intermittent fast at least 14 hours everyday, sometimes 20 hours. Keto is very simple to do and it works. My skin looks great. sleep great. no bloating.
Thank you Dr. Sten for your videos. I've learned so much from you in past 2 weeks.
I love the way you explain stuff!
Hey Thanks big help
Ahh I needed to hear this! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I like it sir,It helped me get out of belly fat
Hey Doctor Ekberg. Just wanted to say. You and your videos have changed my life. Also can you do a video on water filters like Berkey etc. And the toxic chemicals in water?
another problem is most cultivated fruits are many times sweeter than the wild variety.
I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you for sharing informative, life-saving health information! Knowing this information help me are healthful better decisions!!!❤❤
im doing low carb/keto diet for over a year, and 8 months of IF. i saw this vid and i quickly click it cause it catches my attention, thank you for the informations. I'm a new subscriber from Philippines. 😊
I eat LCHF food since 9 years, and I am perfectly fine, but I still have "love handles" that I want to get rid of. I eat about a cup of frozen (thawed!) blueberries and raspberries mixed together, with no added sweeteners, almost every day all year round. I am quite addicted to them... (I don't have fatty liver or insuline insensitivity, I never have any breakfast= one or two meals a day, and I walk my dog 4 times a day.). Are the berries to blame for the floppy love handles around my waist, or is it simply my old age (78)?
I love cantaloupe, berries. Im very insulin resistant that i dont enjoy other fruit
Nice to know that IF works best than the rest Dr. Ekberg. 🦉You keep me going🤗
Glad to hear it.
I’ve been following you for quite sometime and helped me lost 20lbs which I am very happy and pleased. I haven’t been to my FD to check my sugar level but I’m pretty sure that I am not anymore on a pre-diabetic boarder line and reverse my IR. Thanks Doc, all of your videos are great source of information.

Thanks for the very thorough explanations regarding fructose . As a suggestion I wonder whether you could do a video regarding the way to speed up the absorption of the loose skin resulting from the weight loss of a IF or Keto diet
Watch Dr. Jason Fung's videos on fasting. Longer fasts cause autophagy, and your body will use that unnecessary tissue as another fuel source.
Thank you Dr. Eckberg. From Spain🇪🇦.
I improved my diet so much. I ve come to the conclusion it must be stress that is stopping my blood sugar coming down or the bullet proof coffee.
Greetings from India 🇮🇳
Thanks a ton for imparting right education. We are immensely benefitting by ur knowledge that u share. Keep up the excellent work of helping humanity. We feel indebted and may God bless u !!!
Thank you, Doctor. I am happy that I finally found very understandable and clear videos on topics that are concerned with weight loss and health together.
Hello health champions! 💪🏽 Thank you Dr listening to toy I've been reducing my belly fat
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for all your info. I’ve went from 185 to 153 in the last 6 months. I’ve always exercised and ate well. Also thought I needed to eat 3-5 small meals a day.
Intermittent fasting, Meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold showers and such have gotten me to the healthiest I’ve been all my life. Out of all the things, intermittent fasting is the biggest contribution to this life changing swimsuit model bod I have now!!
Thank you and keep up the great work!!!
Very useful sugestions , the more i see your videos the more i waht to be healthy. Thanks doctor.

Thank you Dr. Stern for your explanation.
I love that he commented on your comment. Glad he looks back to through comments. I hope he provides some feedback to my question regarding low cortisol.
@@drekberg plz make video on ashwaganda
Thank you. I am educated on belly fat and how to reduce it.
I’m so grateful for your videos. So informative. Thank you 🙏🏽
Also, when I used to run several miles- I always gained weight the day after running. The days I didn’t exercise, the next morning my was was down. Contrary to what you would think. I eat close to Keto.
I'm fifty-one, and I still have the six pack I had in high school. I guess I have fasted naturally through the years. I gave up drinking ten years ago, as well as sodas. I definitely notice when I overdo the sugar, a headache follows later. I do well with a lot of protein, Dr. Sten.

oh my goodness this is amazing
I just comment up there 👆 that only after quitting alcohol a year ago
and add fasting to my life that I got my six pack

Thank you Scully's House of Thrillers for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up!
I’m 57 and I finally managed to significantly reduce a huge gut after months of inactivity and drinking two bottles of red wine a week. It took some very strenuous exercise, lots of walking, and total elimination of wine and alcohol, among other things. Currently I eat more salmon and halibut and less red meat and chicken, and more veggies but quite a bit of rice. I still don’t quite have a grasp on the fasting thing. Seems like I’ve watched so many videos with different perspectives, I can’t seem to get started.
