I lost 125 pounds of my body in 10 months strictly because you decided to educate us. I feel so much healthier . Thanks for helping me get my life back.
Good job, lost 40 and have 30-35 left. I feel great and good on energy. I eat beef, eggs, ghee or beef tallow, bacon once in a while and Celtic sea salt/pink Himalayan salt and pepper. I salt everything and put pinches in my water. I snack on beef sticks and pork rinds. My only carb. because I can't help it is 1/4 cup of plain macadamia nuts every other day.
I’m fasting 16/8 what a difference does it makes you feel more lighter and moves easily.I exercise low impact 10 min after eating to lower the glucose .I felt grest I don’t get bloated at all.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:42 🚫 *Eating too much fat does not directly cause weight gain; insulin resistance and high carbs play a role in fat storage.* 03:36 😴 *Feeling tired after eating is more related to overeating (Thanksgiving syndrome) than the type of fat consumed.* 05:55 💓 *Heart issues are not caused by healthy fats but can be influenced by poor-quality fats and insulin resistance from high carb consumption.* 08:10 🚽 *Gallbladder issues, like diarrhea and floating stool, can be signs of trouble breaking down fats if the gallbladder is not functioning properly.* 10:38 🤢 *Shoulder pain on the right side can indicate gallbladder problems, emphasizing the connection between gallbladder health and fat consumption.* 11:45 🔥 *Pain in the gallbladder area, often on the right side under the liver, may suggest congestion or sludge, potentially leading to gallbladder attacks.* 14:30 ⚖️ *Eating too much fat might hinder weight loss on a ketogenic diet if the body is primarily burning dietary fat instead of body fat. Adjusting fat intake is crucial for weight loss success.*
@BoldStatement, Thank you for this outline. I appreciate it very much for 2 reasons: 1. Sometimes I don't have enough time to watch the whole time. So this summary gives me everything I need. 2. Sometimes after watching the video when I have enough time for the whole lecture, I need to review what I learned and your outline is exactly what I need to do that. ❤❤❤
About the floating stool: it can be also caused by high vegetable intake. That creates gases which can be trapped in the stool, causing it to float. If you're an a keto diet (so high fat) and you're consuming daily a good amount of vegetables, then it can be possible to have floating and even lighter coloured stool. As long as it's not associated with any abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps and other issues there's nothing to worry about.
Good point! I am also someone who has floating stools despite eating low fat. I'm vegan (24 years now) and my ratio of macros is about 60 percent carbs, 30 protein and 10 fat. I have fruit only for breakfast (1 or 2 handful of berries, mostly apples, sometimes 1 mango or papaya), starches, legumes and leafy greens for lunch and vegetables with some fat at night. I often observe the floating when consuming green smoothies (workout meal) though I don't add any fat to my smoothies except for maybe a tablespoon of flax or chia. Thus, it doesn't make a lot of sense what the doctor said. My Hb1ac is totally in the normal range, my BMI is 20.6, my bodyfat below 25 %.
@@jolima Many vegetables we eat float. Do you really think something will change on the way out? 😂 Veggies are healthy and all but they are not fully broke down. We are not cows.
**Update. I was notified that it is important for everyone to still watch the whole video when you get an opportunity because there is a lot of information that you still need to see and fully understand from my brief break down to help people with time constraints as I do myself sometimes. That's all I was trying to do was help people get a quick idea of what was the meat of this and when people had a chance come back and watch for The full experience.

Dr Sten has requested very politely that his videos are not broken down with time stamps. You guys are meaning well I know… but if you truly care about what makes him happy rather don’t do it ok. He wants people to watch it from start to finish in its completeness. Some people want to watch small bits and then they don’t see the whole picture of what he is trying to portray. It’s really his wish that you guys don’t do it♥️
@youmatter3035 Whoooa! Hold on a minute! 😁 1. Eating too much fat does NOT cause weight gain. 2. It does NOT cause insulin resistance. It happens ONLY if you eat high carbs with high fat. 3. It does NOT cause being tired(it’s overeating and carbs that causes it.). 4. The heart is NOT affected by eating too much fat. It is HIGH CARBS with high fat. The organ that IS affected is the gall bladder. He said this at the very beginning of his video that the first 4 on the list are MYTHS then explains why. That is why it’s important to watch the full video. 😊🙏❤️👍🏼
Thanks Sten….since going low carb high fat/med protein eating I’ve listened to a lot of YT vids but yours are specific, clear and informative. Not too much or too little….just the right level of messaging to get the point(s) across without losing the viewer.
Another great video Dr Ekberg. Anytime I eat a large portion of carbs, I fall asleep and then wake up with anxiety. My energy and mood much more stable with low carb and IF.
Great point. When I was a kid I was told that because I ate a large meal - regardless of what that contained - that's why I'm sleepy. Now, 35 years later I eat sometimes once per day (OMAD) or twice within a 4-5 hours window and I'm not sleepy at all in spite of the large meal, because it's mostly fat and protein and low carb from veggies (keto). I wish more people knew this -that high carbs are the reason for sleepiness, chronic fatigue, mood swings etc
Yep, when I ate high carb as a vegan from 2018 - 2023 I was eating about 2000 calories a day and I was gaining weight, even though I'm a 6'3 man. When I switched to carnivore in 2023 (January) I started eating over 3000 calories, but it was moderate protein and high fat (65% fat 35% protein) I started to shed weight crazy fast. Almost like CICO is a myth.
Have you been counting your calories then? CICO is not myth, but veganism will induce some metabolic problems. What is your overall weight loss, if you have been counting calories?
@@atrifle8364 it's a myth under the correct context. For example, CICO is touted as just being, "burn more than you consume". Which is said without context, or even better, calculate what you burn vs what you consume. If you consume 2500 calories, calculate BMR + activities to go over 2500 in a given day, but this is bad advice and in this context, CICO is a myth. We have to realize diets like carnivore is more hormone and homeostasis related so there is more to BMR + daily activity that counts toward total energy expenditure. This is why when bart kay consumed 6500 calories a day for 2 weeks despite not burning no where near this much on paper. It'd because hormones are a huge part plus all the processes the body undergoes in the context of very low carb. Then you also have protein being very thermogenic.
@@atrifle8364 It is a myth. Prove it. Insulin is the fat storage hormone. It is an anabolic hormone. Protein has a moderate reaction compared to carbohydrates.
An emergency room doctor diagnosed my intense pain as having gall stones. He sent me to surgery within a few hours and it was removed. Despite it being very painful, I wish I had heard this talk about going on intermittent fasting and that it might take care of the problem. I would have been willing to try. This is the first time of hearing from anyone that fasting could possibly help resolve the issue. Good job ! Hope it helps someone else. By the way, even though I no longer have my gall bladder, I am carnivore and do not take supplements to aid in my digestion with the fats I eat. Very occasionally, I might get a day of loose stools but then, like you suggested, I just cut back on the extra butter, etc. No problem.
hey, you must know that long pauses between eating (interm.fasting) is a way to gall stones. The official medical is agree. I personally know many people with same problems as you, and all of them played with IF (me too, have 2cm stone now).
extended fasting works best to heal and dry vs water will give the most rapid effects. Pottenger's Human put together mountains of info in his fasting videos.
@@pvinnie3827Will 2 meals a day result in gall stones? Or only one meal a day will? How long does it take for gall stones to develop on one meal a day?
Great video I had a cholecystectomy 40 years ago and since then cannot eat too much fat without developing diarrhoea. I recently started carnivore and increased my fat I ended up with flatulence and diarrhoea. To compensate I eat increased protein with no excessive extra fat just the fat in the protein and the fat it's cooked in. This is working for me quite successfully. I still feel full I have increased my egg consumption which doesn't have any effect on my unruly bowel.
Same here. I eat proteïn with it's fat. If I eat animal fat I get palpitations. Olive oil is ok for me. I don't eat any carbs just veggies with my meal and I do intermitent fasting. That works for me.
As a teenager and young adult I had an eating disorder that was pretty severe. I was addicted to junk food; sugar and refined carbs in particular, and prone to binge eating. Listening to this is terrifying, because it clarifies the harm I could have done to my health if these binges continued through middle age and beyond. (I'm now in my 70s.) That I didn't end up obese and/or diabetic is a friggin' miracle.
@leftykeys6944 I am 75 and I have eaten the way you described doing in your youth ALL my LIFE! Like you, I never had a weight problem, but I'm wondering how I am still ALIVE at this point! (And I have NEVER seen ANYONE do such EXTREME sugar eating BINGES as me! I just about GUARANTEE you that even during your binge eating days-you would have been SHOCKED at the amounts of sugary foods I ROUTINELY eat!
@@dawnalawrence6584 -- I'm thin now... but at age 19 I was 55 pounds heavier than I am now. My weight yo-yo'd up & down by forty pounds. Had I not been blessed with an efficient metabolism, and had I not been physically active, I could well have wound up way heavier from my junk food addiction and binges. In the 1980s I had a friend who tipped the scales at over 400 pounds, and I swear to you, her binges were no worse than mine had been. It's like being a drug addict or an alcoholic. I would eat until my gut ached and was fit to burst... and STILL could not stop. It was beyond awful. I remember attending Overeaters Anonymous, listening to my fellow junk food addicts talk about their daily struggles. While they shared their experiences, I'd just sit there and cry. I've been a pot smoker for 56 years. I love pot, but the one thing I dislike about its effect is the "marijuana munchies". Even when stoned nowadays, my excess indulgences don't begin to hold a candle to those earlier binges. Yet I still suffer bouts of remorse and shame afterwards. I never buy junk food. We snack on nuts and dried fruits, primarily... or when we don't snack, my husband & I incorporate these things into regular meals. If I purchase anything else we might snack on, I'm careful to read the ingredients list on the container before I buy. I encourage you to try kicking the sugar habit, even if your weight is fine. Much of the harm you could be doing to yourself is internal and systemic, even if you are thin. Kicking this deadly habit will add years to your life, and life to your years.
@@dawnalawrence6584 I did this from high school to age 58 - sometimes 3x per day...other times not at all - but usually least once per day. But now I have a digestion issue that I'm thinking is not good - but have no pain going on (yet) - I got onto carnivor, cut the sugar completely out & am hoping I can heal. After a few wks of it I caved and ate alot of sugar/carbs but got right back on track that afternoon. You went into your 70's?
I have been following you for years. Today’s video may be your most important one. At the end you put up graphs where you start with 220g of fat, but after adaptation THEN bring it down. No one anywhere has said this. It makes perfect sense and aligns with a successful adaptation strategy. My lightbulb moment. Thank you so much.
Great video Dr. Ekberg. I have just realized that in 2024 I have not been eating enough fat. I was able to run more then 100 km this month and I had a lot of protein, some carbs from dairy and good salads but almost no fat. My weight dropped and I was not regenerating fast enough. It's time for my HWC and some MCT oil and maybe a coffee with goat milk with butter and some cocoa powder. Stay safe mate! Best wishes in 2024!
Dear Sten. Instead of being silent and happy, I owe you a debt of gratitude. Since watching your videos in 2022 my weight went from 210 to 175. My target is now 160 or so. I'll get there. I'm no longer addicted to sugar, it was suprisingly easy for me. I decided to cut out nuts completely because I have a severe addiction to them. I used to fill a coffee mug full and put it to my mouth. It was that bad! Anyway I'm bugging my sis and friends to watch your videos cause theyre so awesome! Thanks!
@@janka482 Nuts are full of oxalates, which are "poisonous" being that they are meant to be the next generation. The plants do not want us to eat their children!
@@janka482it's not the nuts that are the issue. It's the overeating of nuts as they say "a mug full" is far too much. Too much of almost anything will be a bad thing.
Your videos are very useful. Over 12 years of diabetic I was on medicine prescribed by doctor. Every few years dosages were increased and my bathroom time increases. Any lab test doesn’t show my internal body problem. It’s only medicine side effects. Finally I started seen your number of videos on different topics about the hormones. When I started to change the life style, I m very fit physically and I already said goodbye for all the medicine. First when said to my doctor that I stop medicine he refused. But I myself followed you also using continuous glucose monitoring chip on body. My last lab test shows A1c is between 5 and 6 my doctor wast surprised and agreed to stay on the diet program. He don’t have to prescribe any medicine for diabetic for me. This is just like a miracle for me. I m from Republic of Maldives 🇲🇻thanks for your videos that I appreciate .
I'm 71 now. The heaviest I've ever been was 2 months ago - I was 10st 12lbs (152 lbs) but, in 4 weeks - by cutting out sugar & snacking, I've lost 11lbs. I want to be 10st (140 lbs) which is what I was all through my 40s, 50s & 60s . . . so only 1 more pound to go !
WOW...Was desperate for the gall bladder info and Formulas to help...also the first understandable overview of what the heck my goal is from Keto Start to Fat Adaptation...the Holy Spirit plugged me into this Pod today... So very grateful you are standing true in your Gift and the sharing of it with us 💕 You were a "Burden Lifter " to me today...may you continue to Rock Your Lane...so be it...🙋🌹GA USA 👍🇺🇸
On top of healthy keto try a product called "TUCA". It's like magic. I have been suffering with gallbladder issues for years and this is a gift from God. I was about to remove it even though I knew there would be side effects. Now I can keep it.
I believe that the worst thing to happen to the human diet is the deep-fried potato in any of its many forms. It's the perfect combination of fat and carbohydrate. Some people eat at least one form of fried potato nearly every day. Adding ketchup provides the sugar to make it even more of a nutritional disaster. I never touch french fries.
Ok, so I’ve been eating wrong my whole 44 years of life. I have floating stools often and chronic right side shoulder pain for years. Glad I watched this.
You may not necessarily be eating too much fat. Those pains can also happen with low stomach acid, not chewing enough, hence insufficient bile production, hence gallbladder pain.
I am 68 and I have always said years ago if you eat carbs don’t eat fat. If eating fat don’t eat carbs. Now I am ketovore. No carbs except veggies here and there.
Smart, this is due to the Randle cycle. You have to choose either fat or carbohydrates for energy, using both is severely detrimental. Professor Bart Kay is an expert on this.
Ketovore? You mean ketogenic diet. Carnivore eats meat, herbivore eats plants, omnivore eats both. The meaning of -vore specifies "one that eats" therefore a ketovore eats keto?
With high-quality content like this, you're helping people to remain healthy and alive, unlike our health system which wants to keep people alive only.
This was a great video. I was worried I was eating too much fat, but after watching this, I realise I have none of these symptoms. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly! 👍
Thanks for another great video Dr. Ekberg! They are so helpful, and I really needed this video on fat. I've been experiencing eating too much fat, and have been slower to lose weight on keto. So thank you for discussing this. Please keep the videos coming. I am positive I am not the only one to benefit from your videos, and am so grateful that you care so much to get the information out there! Hope you have a great weekend!
When I first started keto 6 years ago I developed gall bladder problems. Had lots of diarrhea. Had the shoulder pain and the gall bladder pain. I fixed it with Ox bile salt supplements. I also took lipase with it to help break up the fat in the meantime. The gall bladder problems cleared up after a few weeks and I haven't had any issues in the years since.
Could you explain the shoulder pain? And how did you fix that issue? I am on carnivore with dairy as zi love joghurt but have left shoulder paid daily.
@@Astrid6981 It's called 'Referenced Pain'; for some weird reason you'll sometimes feel pain somewhere else other than the actual site. Probably has to do with the way the pain signals travel up the nerve to the Brain. For example feeling sharp pain in your right shoulder or arm during a heart attack. What you are probably feeling is your Gall Bladder or Liver stressing out producing/excreting the bile necessary for Lipid digestion. You also might have Gall Bladder stones (hardened bile nuggets). As long as the stones aren't too large, they'll pass but with some discomfort. Taking Ox Bile salts and lipase enzymes will reduce stress on your gall bladder, help with fat digestion and might work upstream to help break up some of those stones. Might take a month or two. If it gets worse, definitely see a doctor. Personally, I wouldn't recommend a strict carnivore diet, at least not for very long; but you do you. It is often argued that there are no essential carbohydrates, but I'd argue there is one: Fiber. I would suggest at least a large serving of leafy green vegetables like a 'Spring Mix' salad to go with your meals.
@brianfox771 ox bile salts can cause diarrhea which is why I haven't tried them. They actually stopped your diarrhea?? Curious cause I would like to try them. P.S. Astrid said they had left shoulder pain, not right
@@megmodaff5989 I think I was getting too much fat that wasn't being broken down by bile and that was giving me diarrhea. Ox bile salts plus lipase helped at the time. Once the suspected gall bladder pain subsided as well as the diarrhea, I stopped taking the ox bile salts. This was about 6 years ago, so my recollection is foggy at best.
I am 69, and have lost 165 pounds. The "signs" you may be eating too much fat are extremely helpful in explaining mystery of what is too much fat for "me". Thanks for all the video postings! This may have solved some recent hurdles i have been trying to clear.
Dr. Ekberg you are the best! Somehow you manage to organize and distill lots of information in an understandable format. The gall bladder information is particularly helpful because most of us lay people have no clue how that works and tooooo many gallbladders are being taken out resulting in a whole different set of problems. I can share this with people who are even more clueless than myself. Also walking me thru the macros again will hopefully help me drop these last 30 stubborn pounds! Thank you!
I'm very confused I have fatty liver and lm afraid doing any more chg may result in gallbladder issues .. l see on some IG protein and salads are ok .. but with if adding olive oil on it .. or if having a chicken or protein with cooked veggies like broccoli or greens would that cause store fat? Any chg in a 3 rd grade level ypu can explain?
@@joanneclark8256 Have you been following Dr. Ekberg long? He has many videos on how the gall bladder works. click on his name to go to his main channel and search for gall bladder or fatty liver. Just following a strict keto diet might get you started but I'm no expert :(
I'll tell you, nothing compels involuntary fasting like a gallbladder attack! It solely caused me to go Keto and I'm loving how much better I feel 4 months later!
Thank you Dr Sten; you have really helped me to become healthier over the last 2 - 3 years. I am eating a much healthier diet, I have lost a lot of weight and I am fitter all round now, at the age of 63, than I was at the age of 53. Your work on these videos is greatly appreciated by me and many, many other people. Thank you very much for honest and helpful factual content.
So true about tired! I’ve been low carb or keto for years now and when I eat carbs (blood sugar goes up more than about 20 points) it makes me sooooo tired. Going for a walk helps. Reduces blood sugar and sleepiness.
For about a year I tracked macros daily and lost only one pound. Really it felt obsessive. Now I focus on timed eating and it’s been effective for weight loss. More I’m using the principles while avoiding the angst. It’s easier than all that fussing about ratios.
The obsessive tracking and mental dieting did not do me well even though the experts on the internet are well meaning (I lost myself into all of that). Intermittent fasting (18:6) is helping me tons. I'm on a low carb diet but I don't deprive myself as much as before. I eat nutritious, whole foods. I would rather track calories than worry about insulin for weight loss because if find it unrealistic and restrictive. (I am in my 20s) Timed eating really keeps you away from binging!
I am not sure if you will find this helpful but I lost 100 pounds and went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch wast in a year. I did not measure or track calories, macros, protein, fat, or ketones. Just less than 20 carbs a day. Some days were 0 carbs and occasionally fasting. Whole non-processed foods and no seed oils.
This vid is 5 months old at the time I’m watching. Strayed away from keto to a carb count lifestyle with initial success, followed by unbeatable cravings. I just switched back to very low carb, keto. What is interesting is that my pain behind my right shoulder blade returned, along with right shoulder pain and because of the information in this video, I can now look into addressing that through diet and maybe supplements. Dr. Sten, your videos are incredibly informative. Thank you!
I had Gallstones and when i had an attack, oh boy did i suffer. 😢 i started taking a mixture of PURE REAL EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE, every morning on an empty stomach. I have never had an attack since, and my Gallstones have been broken down and passed out. Best remedy ever. 😊😊❤❤
I have consumed a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil ,the juice of half a lemon and a small amount of raw each day for the last six months My BP was 130 over 85. My BP now is 117 over 77.
I didn't realize I was supposed to lower the amount of fat I was consuming after becoming fat adapted. This is good to know. I lost a little progress recently (only a couple of pounds), but I'll easily undo that.
I started the Atkins diet in 2000 with much success but stalled and eventually gave up. But 1 thing helped: I got rid of the carb addiction and the snacking. Never went back o that. I started a keto diet 10 years later and stalled also and gave it up too. When I learned about the dietary fat story, I restarted the keto lifestyle but on micrometer I was not reaching my potassium daily requirements. Still struggling with that but I am getting closer. NEVER has keto lifestyle and dietary fat been explained clearly as in this masterful concise presentation by Mr. Ekberg. Thank you! God Bless!
I'm 64 and l lost too much weight on the carnivore diet. I went back to eating carbs & fat (3 - 4k calories a day) and now l've managed to get back to my ideal weight. My metabolism is just too good. My blood markers are normal too.
This has to be a troll comment. It literally makes no sense. You're 64 and you're eating almost 4k calories/day? You either weigh 450 lbs or more, or you're not eating that much.
Lemon & Olive Oil is a great Gallbladder cleanse! I was scheduled for a GB removal. I did the cleanse and the doctor did another ultrasound. He said my GB was as "clean as a baby"!
@@jimdrummer816 There are 3 methods online. #1. the 24hr. method, which isn't for the weak of stomach! You fast for 12 hours. no solid foods. Then lying on your right side, you drink 2 ozs. of olive oil followed by 1 oz of lemon juice every 15 minutes for 6 hours. Approximately 6 to 12 hours afterwards you will expell the gallstones in a bm or 2. Mosly liquid comes out and if you are adventurous you can stretch a cheese cloth across the bowl and catch the stones! I did. Very amazing! One was the size of a ping pong ball! They dissolved in a week, from the lemon that removed them. #2 is the week method; consists of eating one small salad 2-3 times a day with the same amounts of lemon juice & oil. During the week, you CANNOT eat any other foods. Just plain salads, consisting of greens. No fats or sugars, meat proteins or dairy included. #3 is the month method, also called the "maintenance" method; several green salads per week, 5-7 days with the same amounts of lemon and oil. The restrictions on foods would be fats and anything that attributes to gallbladder pain and discomfort. It's been a while (10 years) so you may want to do your research online to confirm the methods are correct or haven't changed? Also...very important: DO NOT atempt the 24hour cleanse if you are in severe GB pain and/or running a temperature! It means the GB is inflammed and you won't be able to expell the stones!! Seek medical attantion it will need to be removed!
I started Carnivore 1/06/23. The only weight loss I've achieved was water weight from blood pressure medication. I have not lost any weight or changed body composition as my clothes are the same. I am a 79 y.o. handicapped male. I eat TMAD at 9 am and 7 pm. No snacking. I use to run marathons until I was 65.
Sometimes the body has to heal years of inflammation before the body will let go of weight. Maybe try Dr. Boz sardine challenge, bone broth etc periodically.
Don’t give up. Perhaps you could try shortening your eating window by eating breakfast later or dinner earlier in order to increase your fasting hours. That might help. Wishing you success.
I love watching your videos for a deeper understand of what I'm already experiencing. It indicate to me you know what you're talking about.. That's rare to find, it's amazing you'r sharing this information with everyone.
Im going to 4 a 5 day's fast from the next week. It will be my first time. To be sure, i even did a blood test before (it came out mostly OK, only my iron is high, and i don't have any idea why). So as soon all mostly looks good, i will prepare myself for a longer fasting. Clean my system with a vegetables( steamed, self fermented, and raw) and just a bit of fish (plus my dayly fish oil). Im very excited already! Can't wait! Wich everyone lots of love and power to crush any possible disease with a holistic plan included healthy keto, intermittent fasting, bit of HIIT, and relaxation breathing exercises ❤❤❤
Thank you for adding to this video the information starting at 19:24, explaining the necessity of reducing the total amount of calories consumed after you have become fat adapted, in order to start burning the fat off the body. Reducing the amount of fat consumed is the mechanism for changing the percentage of Carb/Protein/Fat in the diet, You must end up reducing the total number of calories consumed in order to lose weight. This truth escaped me for many years because I was focusing on the benefits of eating more good fats.
Reducing sugar for a month and then doing a 2 days fast changes life for the bestand does a lot to help, especially the brain. For me that worked, and if I feel down or lack energy I restart this routine.
I did Atkinson 22 years ago for 18 months. Lost 90 pounds. Have since regained and continuously fight to keep the same 20 pounds off. I need help as I keep developing allergies to foods - can’t eat beef or eggs
@rwentowski Sorry to hear that. Doubt your issues have anything to do with a high protein, moderate fat and low carb diet though. Here I am exactly a year (nearly to the day) from when I started this. Still have all the weight off plus another 5 lbs. Biggest thing for me is that it has been so easy to keep doing.
Hello doctor, I’ve been following your videos for a while, I’m 40 years old man from the other side of the world, I used to be heavy and weight 99.6kg I started the keto diet for about 2.5 months and I reduced my calorie intake to 1000cal / day, I ended up in ketosis, my macros are 60-30-10 (fat-protein-carbs), I increased my daily activities to to 2000 calories working out and then to 1000 and now I’m at about 800 calories, 7 days a week nonstop, I lost about 20 kg then I plateaued and I stopped for a week and increased my daily intake to 1300 and I’m going down again, I lost 23.4 kg total, my health has improved exponentially, my vo2 max went from 36 to 48 ranking at excellent and I can take my heart up to 179 bpm, I can maintain a cardio training for about an hour at above 135bpm and keep my heart pumping at 145bpm for at least 6 minutes, I lost some muscle during the journey, if you need any more information just ask me. Well I really want to say thank you very much for everything, here’s some topics I really wish you make some videos about -body recomposition -what to eat before and post workout -how often you should exercise during the week (and should it be successive or every other day) Ps: for my workout, I mostly did walking uphill for 4hrs, and indoor cycling, and indoor rowing, I have all my data tracked with Fitbit including my food weighted and logged everyday, I did some glucose blood test at home also logged and , one test of urine ketones test (that’s how I knew I’m in ketosis), my weight logged almost every day using a good brand home scale, I can share with you all my data if you want it. An other thing I think I should mention, is I’m a muslim so I do the fasting in ramadan and I do some fasting from time to time, and at any other days I do omed at 8pm, I don’t do drinking or drugs or smoking or pork meat, we mostly do Mediterranean food but I have my own recipes now clean of any processed food. Thank you again doctor from the bottom of my heart.
Great video. Until I learned about keto/carnivore, this information would have sounded crazy to me. It still does sound crazy to most people on a standard American diet. But eating fat has helped my health more than anything before it.
As an Asian rice is our staple carbohydrates, but we're also lucky to have vegetables. My breakfast consist of 70 grams of rice. Unlimited leafy vegetables. Chicken feet broth, or my soup with radish. With small amount of sauerkraut as my probiotics. 2 eggs and a small portion of protein, bacon or hamburger beef patties (homemade) Same with dinner and lunch rice is only 70 grams. I eat 3 meals a day. For me to remove or lessen lectins and phytates from the rice, I soaked it 12 hours.
This is exactly the information I need. I’m 77, do regular intermittent fasting, but not losing the 8 lbs. or so I’d like to. I’m 5’2” and weigh about 130. Adult weight before menopause was 108; I don’t expect to go there, but would like to carry less around the middle.
Same issue. 71 year old on the ketovore side, carrying 25 extra pounds before reaching a healthy BMI number. After much research, I am on a journey with the goal to build muscle by starting to weight lift. But I also do HIIT, flexibility and balance exercises. Just started; will report here in 8-12 weeks; the results should be clear by then.
Also, look to see if your stool is grey or chalky, i.e. not brown. You can gently massage your gall bladder, and it should come around. Great vid, Doc ! Cheers ! ❤
This man is great! What a fantastic presentation and yes, this is exactly what's happened to me... 14st to 11st with this method and no bother at all. Fantastic!
I was looking for this information all my life! And suddenly, 95% information on Internet, just a rubbish! They give you some information, but never like here! Never in a holistic way! Im so happy i found this UA-cam channel 🙏 I watched all videos till the oldest 12 years old videos, from a small room with a few audients ,but with lots of detail. Thank you so much dr. Ekberg for all your work, it a real life changer!!! We all strong together, health Champignons !❤

@@vikidevries4441 Thank you for your kindness. I love meeting kind people here. Sometimes people can really be abusive towards Dr Sten and it just breaks my heart because he is the most beautiful man. Inside and out. I think it’s by God’s grace you have found him. Your life will never be the same. He changes you. He is light and hope. Nice to meet you. Chat again next time♥️
Thank you Sir this was the best explanation of the Keto diet how it works the body ,we hear so much what to eat when to eat but not how the body works doing it we need more of this ,,thank you from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
For once I'm happy about a misleading title. This title attracts people who need to see this video the most because they look for confirmation. However, it raises eyebrows on those people who had seen the video on eating butter for 30 days. Making you wonder what changed Dr. Sten Ekberg his mind! However, he hasn't!
Thank you so much for taking your time and energy to share your knowledge, expertise and experience on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from you and believe I can trust that what you’re providing is the truth. I am so thankful. I wish my doctor would have informed me of some of this information . Have a blessed day!
This is a most excellent video. The topic of getting too much fat is key. I wasn't losing weight primarily because I was eating too much fat so there was no need for my body to use the stored fat. Sounds so simple when you hear it out loud. I believe this video will help a lot of people.
I am mesmerized by you ! Simple as that. I had a whipple 3 years ago due to PC . It’s all new to me because as you imagine I been told avoid all fats . Regardless of all advices of “ genius “ doctors, I had all symptom surviving on low fat high carb diet . ( I am not sweet addicted) . Nausea, burbs been with me for 3 years . I switched now . My symptoms reduced to min . I am using creon to help my remain pancreas. If you would come across my comment, would you be so kind , suggesting something else . Thank you so much
Calories in, Calories out is the old belief system which most people still use. It's so sad as they never break out of the cycle of bad health/weight gain.
Calories metabolised minus calories burned is technically true. There is no escaping thermodynamics. Focusing on carbs and insulin plays a role in making calorie management easier but doesn't change the fact that every diet boils down to eat less and move more.
Some questions: 1) So what do you do when you’ve lost all the belly fat after a prolonged 1600kcl deficit? Just go back to a “normal” diet? 🤔 2) In the same context: Is strict keto and/or carnivore good for the long term? Or should you switch it up sometimes? 2) Is it all the fats that are bad and cause gallbladder problems? Or is it only certain ones and in certain amounts? 3) What if you already developed right shoulder pain and right abdominal pain? What do you do then? Thank you so much for this video. Just what I needed! Very information dense!
Most will go back to a normal diet as keto attrition is huge. It's not a sustainable diet because very few want to eat that way the rest of their lives.
With time, you should be able to find a comfortable balance. You know what foods are poison to your body: ALL processed foods! If You have reached your goal thru keto/carnivore, you no longer have cravings. To maintain your weight, watch the calories. The rest of your life: a matter to conscientiously commit to veggies, protein and healthy fats and water; sleep, exercise and keeping stress at bay (meditation/ prayer/yoga/ breathing exercises) Take Mr. Ekberg's lifestyle as your guiding light/guru. It becomes a healthy lifestyle, not a diet. Good luck!
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! I was born without a gallbladder & had difficulty from birth through my teens, and during pregnancies digesting fatty foods. I know its a rare condition. I have learned keto-carnivore is awesome, that green tea helps me digest fattier foods & fasting is the quick reset. Blessings. YS
Doc thank you for laying IR so simply, you are reaching people and this is a very good video explanation. Happy New Year! Day 12 carnivore and already seeing positive signs!
This makes so much sense for me and why I didn’t lose any weight last month. I’m an under eater and had started eating 75/25 ground beef last month. I switched back to 85 /15 and I’ve lost 3 lbs this week.
As to #1, now I think that's exactly why I've been in a holding pattern and actually gained back 6 to 7 pounds after easily losing 35 pounds. My weight is fine, but I think I want to lose those 6-7 pounds again ... and what I've never done is dial back my fats. Thank you so much for pointing this out, I've been fixated on the ratios for too long.
In my opinion, #1 is all most people need to know. I used to think counting net carbs was the only thing you needed to do on Keto, but I realized that logic was flawed, you should monitor your caloric intake as well then if you plateau you can make adjustments. If you're not losing weight on Keto, you're eating too many calories. You need to either up your activity, lower the calories, or a combination of both. One more thing to include, be careful cutting your calories because if you're too aggressive thinking it will make you lose more, you risk slowing your metabolism down. Shoot for a 250-500 deficit till you're losing no more than 0.5% of body weight a week, and hold it there, making adjustments as time goes by.
I lost 80 pounds with IF ( mixed food ) Then switched to Keto OMAD Lost another 20 pounds From BMI 38 down to BMI 21 Haven’t been sick for the last 5 years
"Don't eat."😂❤ Learning about the concept of burning "body fat" versus "dietary fats" may be elementary science for some, but for me, this is life changing! While I don't exhibit any signs of eating "excess" fat, I now understand that I need to go back to intermittent fasting so as to give my body the opportunity to burn the proper fat source. Thank you so much!🙏🌹
I just said a similar thing to someone last night. They asked what I was eating that I dropped a few pounds and I said “nothing “😂. They looked at me like I was crazy.
Thank you @sandrasatterfield4432. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
I do not have a gall bladder and do not take ox bile or other supplements. I eat 1,200 calories-50% carbs, 20% fats and 30% proteins-on an OMAD schedule. Staying on this eating plan with moderate exercise, I maintain my desired weight (117-120 lbs); but if I go off this meal plan for an extended period, I gain weight.
Thanks for that reminder! I've been stuck on the same weight since the end of summer. I definitely need to cut back on the fat if I want the weight loss to gain traction again. I still have 5 kg to go to bring my BMI under 25.
20/4 OMAD. Ketovore. Not hungry. Lost 50+ibs in one years. What you are not eating because more important than what you are eating. Once you stop all sweaters and all gluten you are on your way to controlling your hunger. Key note:. Insulin resistance. Fat adapted. Ketosis.😎
Could you make a video specifically for those of us who have had our gallbladders removed? Is it healthy to follow a high-fat, low-carb diet without a gallbladder? I've been missing my gallbladder since I was 12 years old.
Love Dr. Ekberg, and he just gave his awesome backwards writing ability secret away; he's reversing the image, as per pointing to his left while talking about the gall bladder being on the right ! Nice tecknique.
I eat a carnivore diet minus dairy, there was this vibe in the community to eat more butter for hormonal health. I don't eat a lot usually, depending on my exercise. My weight had been stable and optimal when I started taking about half a bar of butter daily and I gained weight very fast, 5-6 lb. Stopped the butter and the weight went down to my normal weight again.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:42 🚫 *Eating too much fat does not directly cause weight gain; insulin resistance and high carbs play a role in fat storage.*
03:36 😴 *Feeling tired after eating is more related to overeating (Thanksgiving syndrome) than the type of fat consumed.*
05:55 💓 *Heart issues are not caused by healthy fats but can be influenced by poor-quality fats and insulin resistance from high carb consumption.*
08:10 🚽 *Gallbladder issues, like diarrhea and floating stool, can be signs of trouble breaking down fats if the gallbladder is not functioning properly.*
10:38 🤢 *Shoulder pain on the right side can indicate gallbladder problems, emphasizing the connection between gallbladder health and fat consumption.*
11:45 🔥 *Pain in the gallbladder area, often on the right side under the liver, may suggest congestion or sludge, potentially leading to gallbladder attacks.*
14:30 ⚖️ *Eating too much fat might hinder weight loss on a ketogenic diet if the body is primarily burning dietary fat instead of body fat. Adjusting fat intake is crucial for weight loss success.*
Thanks! The last point is key to weightlost and often disregarded or not understood.

@@Muswellyeah no disrespect but I'd like to know too. That age and that weight... Wow
About the floating stool: it can be also caused by high vegetable intake. That creates gases which can be trapped in the stool, causing it to float. If you're an a keto diet (so high fat) and you're consuming daily a good amount of vegetables, then it can be possible to have floating and even lighter coloured stool. As long as it's not associated with any abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps and other issues there's nothing to worry about.
Wondering if this happened to me. Where did you get this information?
Ya where is your data. Seems you are talking about you and hoping what you say is true
Good point! I am also someone who has floating stools despite eating low fat. I'm vegan (24 years now) and my ratio of macros is about 60 percent carbs, 30 protein and 10 fat. I have fruit only for breakfast (1 or 2 handful of berries, mostly apples, sometimes 1 mango or papaya), starches, legumes and leafy greens for lunch and vegetables with some fat at night. I often observe the floating when consuming green smoothies (workout meal) though I don't add any fat to my smoothies except for maybe a tablespoon of flax or chia. Thus, it doesn't make a lot of sense what the doctor said. My Hb1ac is totally in the normal range, my BMI is 20.6, my bodyfat below 25 %.

Many vegetables we eat float. Do you really think something will change on the way out? 😂

Dr Sten has requested very politely that his videos are not broken down with time stamps. You guys are meaning well I know… but if you truly care about what makes him happy rather don’t do it ok. He wants people to watch it from start to finish in its completeness. Some people want to watch small bits and then they don’t see the whole picture of what he is trying to portray. It’s really his wish that you guys don’t do it♥️
@youmatter3035 Whoooa! Hold on a minute! 😁 1. Eating too much fat does NOT cause weight gain. 2. It does NOT cause insulin resistance. It happens ONLY if you eat high carbs with high fat. 3. It does NOT cause being tired(it’s overeating and carbs that causes it.). 4. The heart is NOT affected by eating too much fat. It is HIGH CARBS with high fat. The organ that IS affected is the gall bladder. He said this at the very beginning of his video that the first 4 on the list are MYTHS then explains why. That is why it’s important to watch the full video. 😊🙏❤️👍🏼

Thank you @kennetholeary6503 for sharing. I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching 😄
Great point. When I was a kid I was told that because I ate a large meal - regardless of what that contained - that's why I'm sleepy. Now, 35 years later I eat sometimes once per day (OMAD) or twice within a 4-5 hours window and I'm not sleepy at all in spite of the large meal, because it's mostly fat and protein and low carb from veggies (keto). I wish more people knew this -that high carbs are the reason for sleepiness, chronic fatigue, mood swings etc
I call it "carb coma" lol
Yep, when I ate high carb as a vegan from 2018 - 2023 I was eating about 2000 calories a day and I was gaining weight, even though I'm a 6'3 man. When I switched to carnivore in 2023 (January) I started eating over 3000 calories, but it was moderate protein and high fat (65% fat 35% protein) I started to shed weight crazy fast. Almost like CICO is a myth.
Yup! Same here! In all points and views, you've experienced! 🤝👏👏Keep it up!👍
Have you been counting your calories then? CICO is not myth, but veganism will induce some metabolic problems. What is your overall weight loss, if you have been counting calories?
@@atrifle8364 it's a myth under the correct context. For example, CICO is touted as just being, "burn more than you consume". Which is said without context, or even better, calculate what you burn vs what you consume. If you consume 2500 calories, calculate BMR + activities to go over 2500 in a given day, but this is bad advice and in this context, CICO is a myth. We have to realize diets like carnivore is more hormone and homeostasis related so there is more to BMR + daily activity that counts toward total energy expenditure. This is why when bart kay consumed 6500 calories a day for 2 weeks despite not burning no where near this much on paper. It'd because hormones are a huge part plus all the processes the body undergoes in the context of very low carb. Then you also have protein being very thermogenic.
Same I have lost over 75 lbs eating about 3000 calories of beef a day.
@@atrifle8364 It is a myth. Prove it. Insulin is the fat storage hormone. It is an anabolic hormone. Protein has a moderate reaction compared to carbohydrates.
An emergency room doctor diagnosed my intense pain as having gall stones. He sent me to surgery within a few hours and it was removed. Despite it being very painful, I wish I had heard this talk about going on intermittent fasting and that it might take care of the problem. I would have been willing to try. This is the first time of hearing from anyone that fasting could possibly help resolve the issue. Good job ! Hope it helps someone else. By the way, even though I no longer have my gall bladder, I am carnivore and do not take supplements to aid in my digestion with the fats I eat. Very occasionally, I might get a day of loose stools but then, like you suggested, I just cut back on the extra butter, etc. No problem.
Same exact thing with me! Wish we knew prior to having the gb removed!
hey, you must know that long pauses between eating (interm.fasting) is a way to gall stones. The official medical is agree. I personally know many people with same problems as you, and all of them played with IF (me too, have 2cm stone now).
extended fasting works best to heal and dry vs water will give the most rapid effects. Pottenger's Human put together mountains of info in his fasting videos.
@@pvinnie3827Will 2 meals a day result in gall stones? Or only one meal a day will? How long does it take for gall stones to develop on one meal a day?
@@plumeria66 I think two meals a day is a safer than one a day.
Great video I had a cholecystectomy 40 years ago and since then cannot eat too much fat without developing diarrhoea. I recently started carnivore and increased my fat I ended up with flatulence and diarrhoea. To compensate I eat increased protein with no excessive extra fat just the fat in the protein and the fat it's cooked in. This is working for me quite successfully. I still feel full I have increased my egg consumption which doesn't have any effect on my unruly bowel.
Take ox-bile
Thank you
Eggs are the best protein - better than red meat.
Same here. I eat proteïn with it's fat. If I eat animal fat I get palpitations. Olive oil is ok for me. I don't eat any carbs just veggies with my meal and I do intermitent fasting. That works for me.
As a teenager and young adult I had an eating disorder that was pretty severe. I was addicted to junk food; sugar and refined carbs in particular, and prone to binge eating. Listening to this is terrifying, because it clarifies the harm I could have done to my health if these binges continued through middle age and beyond. (I'm now in my 70s.) That I didn't end up obese and/or diabetic is a friggin' miracle.
@leftykeys6944 I am 75 and I have eaten the way you described doing in your youth ALL my LIFE! Like you, I never had a weight problem, but I'm wondering how I am still ALIVE at this point! (And I have NEVER seen ANYONE do such EXTREME sugar eating BINGES as me! I just about GUARANTEE you that even during your binge eating days-you would have been SHOCKED at the amounts of sugary foods I ROUTINELY eat!

@@dawnalawrence6584 -- I'm thin now... but at age 19 I was 55 pounds heavier than I am now. My weight yo-yo'd up & down by forty pounds. Had I not been blessed with an efficient metabolism, and had I not been physically active, I could well have wound up way heavier from my junk food addiction and binges. In the 1980s I had a friend who tipped the scales at over 400 pounds, and I swear to you, her binges were no worse than mine had been. It's like being a drug addict or an alcoholic. I would eat until my gut ached and was fit to burst... and STILL could not stop. It was beyond awful. I remember attending Overeaters Anonymous, listening to my fellow junk food addicts talk about their daily struggles. While they shared their experiences, I'd just sit there and cry.
I've been a pot smoker for 56 years. I love pot, but the one thing I dislike about its effect is the "marijuana munchies". Even when stoned nowadays, my excess indulgences don't begin to hold a candle to those earlier binges. Yet I still suffer bouts of remorse and shame afterwards.
I never buy junk food. We snack on nuts and dried fruits, primarily... or when we don't snack, my husband & I incorporate these things into regular meals. If I purchase anything else we might snack on, I'm careful to read the ingredients list on the container before I buy.
I encourage you to try kicking the sugar habit, even if your weight is fine. Much of the harm you could be doing to yourself is internal and systemic, even if you are thin. Kicking this deadly habit will add years to your life, and life to your years.
@@dawnalawrence6584 I did this from high school to age 58 - sometimes 3x per day...other times not at all - but usually least once per day. But now I have a digestion issue that I'm thinking is not good - but have no pain going on (yet) - I got onto carnivor, cut the sugar completely out & am hoping I can heal. After a few wks of it I caved and ate alot of sugar/carbs but got right back on track that afternoon. You went into your 70's?
Im over weight and eat junk as well .. did you change to whole foods then carnivore? Why not keto ?
I have been following you for years. Today’s video may be your most important one. At the end you put up graphs where you start with 220g of fat, but after adaptation THEN bring it down. No one anywhere has said this. It makes perfect sense and aligns with a successful adaptation strategy. My lightbulb moment. Thank you so much.
How much is 220g of fat, do you know? Would that be like half a bar of butter...a whole bar, or what?

Your videos are very useful. Over 12 years of diabetic I was on medicine prescribed by doctor. Every few years dosages were increased and my bathroom time increases.

But I myself followed you also using continuous glucose monitoring chip on body. My last lab test shows A1c is between 5 and 6 my doctor wast surprised and agreed to stay on the diet program. He don’t have to prescribe any medicine for diabetic for me. This is just like a miracle for me. I m from Republic of Maldives 🇲🇻thanks for your videos that I appreciate .

I believe that the worst thing to happen to the human diet is the deep-fried potato in any of its many forms.
It's the perfect combination of fat and carbohydrate. Some people eat at least one form of fried potato nearly every day.
Adding ketchup provides the sugar to make it even more of a nutritional disaster.
I never touch french fries.

That's gallbladder and most say l read can't do keto .. they do meat and veggies .. or add lots fiber ... love to know how you doing
You may not necessarily be eating too much fat. Those pains can also happen with low stomach acid, not chewing enough, hence insufficient bile production, hence gallbladder pain.
I’ve read in other comments that you can add ox bile to help your gallbladder with the fat intake issue.
Hope all is well.
“Vegetable oil “ is really industrial seed oil. They call it “vegetable oil “ because it sounds more appealing.
If it's from a vegetable it's got to be good for you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rapeseed oil, is the most common seed used for cooking oil.
All those yellow fields we see in the summer are Rape.
If it's soybean oil, that would be bean oil, right?
The only oils that are safe to eat are extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and butter.
All processed oil is bad even olive because it's not whole. There removed the pulp
I am 68 and I have always said years ago if you eat carbs don’t eat fat. If eating fat don’t eat carbs. Now I am ketovore. No carbs except veggies here and there.
Smart, this is due to the Randle cycle. You have to choose either fat or carbohydrates for energy, using both is severely detrimental. Professor Bart Kay is an expert on this.
Ketovore? You mean ketogenic diet. Carnivore eats meat, herbivore eats plants, omnivore eats both. The meaning of -vore specifies "one that eats" therefore a ketovore eats keto?
@@brendahunter9134 Hilarious, but on a more serious note, it means you mainly eat meat with a few plants.
If I do that I’d be 135lbs again… I’m six foot two🫤

Terrific video. Your clarity and ability to simplify the complex is much appreciated. Thank you thank you!
With high-quality content like this, you're helping people to remain healthy and alive, unlike our health system which wants to keep people alive only.
This was a great video. I was worried I was eating too much fat, but after watching this, I realise I have none of these symptoms. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly! 👍
Thank you, Dr Ekberg! I am 70 year old and with so many health issues! Your holistic approach to health makes a lot of sense! More blessings to you!
Thanks for another great video Dr. Ekberg! They are so helpful, and I really needed this video on fat. I've been experiencing eating too much fat, and have been slower to lose weight on keto. So thank you for discussing this. Please keep the videos coming. I am positive I am not the only one to benefit from your videos, and am so grateful that you care so much to get the information out there! Hope you have a great weekend!
Same here. I obviously need to cut back on my fat intake.
Better to eliminate sugar/ carbs. Fat helps to regulate hormones.
@@malindadenlinger882 already on keto
When I first started keto 6 years ago I developed gall bladder problems. Had lots of diarrhea. Had the shoulder pain and the gall bladder pain. I fixed it with Ox bile salt supplements. I also took lipase with it to help break up the fat in the meantime. The gall bladder problems cleared up after a few weeks and I haven't had any issues in the years since.
Could you explain the shoulder pain? And how did you fix that issue? I am on carnivore with dairy as zi love joghurt but have left shoulder paid daily.
@@Astrid6981 It's called 'Referenced Pain'; for some weird reason you'll sometimes feel pain somewhere else other than the actual site. Probably has to do with the way the pain signals travel up the nerve to the Brain. For example feeling sharp pain in your right shoulder or arm during a heart attack. What you are probably feeling is your Gall Bladder or Liver stressing out producing/excreting the bile necessary for Lipid digestion. You also might have Gall Bladder stones (hardened bile nuggets). As long as the stones aren't too large, they'll pass but with some discomfort. Taking Ox Bile salts and lipase enzymes will reduce stress on your gall bladder, help with fat digestion and might work upstream to help break up some of those stones. Might take a month or two. If it gets worse, definitely see a doctor.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend a strict carnivore diet, at least not for very long; but you do you. It is often argued that there are no essential carbohydrates, but I'd argue there is one: Fiber. I would suggest at least a large serving of leafy green vegetables like a 'Spring Mix' salad to go with your meals.
@brianfox771 ox bile salts can cause diarrhea which is why I haven't tried them. They actually stopped your diarrhea?? Curious cause I would like to try them. P.S. Astrid said they had left shoulder pain, not right
@@megmodaff5989 I think I was getting too much fat that wasn't being broken down by bile and that was giving me diarrhea. Ox bile salts plus lipase helped at the time. Once the suspected gall bladder pain subsided as well as the diarrhea, I stopped taking the ox bile salts. This was about 6 years ago, so my recollection is foggy at best.
I am 69, and have lost 165 pounds. The "signs" you may be eating too much fat are extremely helpful in explaining mystery of what is too much fat for "me". Thanks for all the video postings! This may have solved some recent hurdles i have been trying to clear.
Dr. Ekberg you are the best! Somehow you manage to organize and distill lots of information in an understandable format. The gall bladder information is particularly helpful because most of us lay people have no clue how that works and tooooo many gallbladders are being taken out resulting in a whole different set of problems. I can share this with people who are even more clueless than myself. Also walking me thru the macros again will hopefully help me drop these last 30 stubborn pounds! Thank you!
I'm very confused
I have fatty liver and lm afraid doing any more chg may result in gallbladder issues .. l see on some IG protein and salads are ok .. but with if adding olive oil on it .. or if having a chicken or protein with cooked veggies like broccoli or greens would that cause store fat?
Any chg in a 3 rd grade level ypu can explain?
Also l hear greens detox the body and liver
@@joanneclark8256 Have you been following Dr. Ekberg long? He has many videos on how the gall bladder works. click on his name to go to his main channel and search for gall bladder or fatty liver. Just following a strict keto diet might get you started but I'm no expert :(
I'll tell you, nothing compels involuntary fasting like a gallbladder attack! It solely caused me to go Keto and I'm loving how much better I feel 4 months later!
Your information is absolutely clear and concise. You are doing a great service for all who will listen. Thank you.
I love watching these presentations because Dr Ekberg explains everything in clear stepwise fashion, so it's rarely if ever information overload.
Thank you Dr Sten; you have really helped me to become healthier over the last 2 - 3 years. I am eating a much healthier diet, I have lost a lot of weight and I am fitter all round now, at the age of 63, than I was at the age of 53.
Your work on these videos is greatly appreciated by me and many, many other people. Thank you very much for honest and helpful factual content.
So true about tired! I’ve been low carb or keto for years now and when I eat carbs (blood sugar goes up more than about 20 points) it makes me sooooo tired. Going for a walk helps. Reduces blood sugar and sleepiness.
Once again, thank you very kindly. I’m 14 months into this and I still need constant reminders😊
For about a year I tracked macros daily and lost only one pound. Really it felt obsessive. Now I focus on timed eating and it’s been effective for weight loss. More I’m using the principles while avoiding the angst. It’s easier than all that fussing about ratios.
I have the same issue. How or what method of timing do you lose.
Thanks in advance.
The obsessive tracking and mental dieting did not do me well even though the experts on the internet are well meaning (I lost myself into all of that). Intermittent fasting (18:6) is helping me tons. I'm on a low carb diet but I don't deprive myself as much as before. I eat nutritious, whole foods. I would rather track calories than worry about insulin for weight loss because if find it unrealistic and restrictive. (I am in my 20s) Timed eating really keeps you away from binging!
@@annac6457
Do you alternate fasting or do you fast 18:6 every day?
@@annac6457
How many calories do you eat per day?
I am not sure if you will find this helpful but I lost 100 pounds and went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch wast in a year. I did not measure or track calories, macros, protein, fat, or ketones. Just less than 20 carbs a day. Some days were 0 carbs and occasionally fasting. Whole non-processed foods and no seed oils.
Thank you so much for this video. I would have never thought shoulder pain could be caused by gallbladder problems. This is a real eye opener!
DR. EKBERG YOU ARE A BEAST THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT HEALTH GUIDANCE
This vid is 5 months old at the time I’m watching. Strayed away from keto to a carb count lifestyle with initial success, followed by unbeatable cravings. I just switched back to very low carb, keto. What is interesting is that my pain behind my right shoulder blade returned, along with right shoulder pain and because of the information in this video, I can now look into addressing that through diet and maybe supplements. Dr. Sten, your videos are incredibly informative. Thank you!
I had Gallstones and when i had an attack, oh boy did i suffer. 😢 i started taking a mixture of PURE REAL EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE, every morning on an empty stomach. I have never had an attack since, and my Gallstones have been broken down and passed out. Best remedy ever. 😊😊❤❤
I have consumed a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil ,the juice of half a lemon and a small amount of raw each day for the last six months My BP was 130 over 85. My BP now is 117 over 77.
@@kevinmoran6950 "a small amount of raw..." RAW WHAT?
@@usadaily135he was probably going to say honey
I didn't realize I was supposed to lower the amount of fat I was consuming after becoming fat adapted. This is good to know. I lost a little progress recently (only a couple of pounds), but I'll easily undo that.
Same!! I didn’t know this either!! The timestamp is 14:33 for anyone who wants to know. ❤
Probably late to the party but yes your body has separate metabolisms for fats, carbs and proteins if we're technical
Same
I started the Atkins diet in 2000 with much success but stalled and eventually gave up. But 1 thing helped: I got rid of the carb addiction and the snacking. Never went back o that. I started a keto diet 10 years later and stalled also and gave it up too. When I learned about the dietary fat story, I restarted the keto lifestyle but on micrometer I was not reaching my potassium daily requirements. Still struggling with that but I am getting closer. NEVER has keto lifestyle and dietary fat been explained clearly as in this masterful concise presentation by Mr. Ekberg. Thank you! God Bless!
I like the way you explain things. Straight forward; yet simple concepts.
I'm 64 and l lost too much weight on the carnivore diet. I went back to eating carbs & fat (3 - 4k calories a day) and now l've managed to get back to my ideal weight. My metabolism is just too good. My blood markers are normal too.
This has to be a troll comment. It literally makes no sense. You're 64 and you're eating almost 4k calories/day? You either weigh 450 lbs or more, or you're not eating that much.
Lemon & Olive Oil is a great Gallbladder cleanse! I was scheduled for a GB removal. I did the cleanse and the doctor did another ultrasound. He said my GB was as "clean as a baby"!
That’s awesome!!!!
How much and how often did you take the lemon and olive oil?
@@jimdrummer816 There are 3 methods online. #1. the 24hr. method, which isn't for the weak of stomach! You fast for 12 hours. no solid foods. Then lying on your right side, you drink 2 ozs. of olive oil followed by 1 oz of lemon juice every 15 minutes for 6 hours. Approximately 6 to 12 hours afterwards you will expell the gallstones in a bm or 2. Mosly liquid comes out and if you are adventurous you can stretch a cheese cloth across the bowl and catch the stones! I did. Very amazing! One was the size of a ping pong ball! They dissolved in a week, from the lemon that removed them. #2 is the week method; consists of eating one small salad 2-3 times a day with the same amounts of lemon juice & oil. During the week, you CANNOT eat any other foods. Just plain salads, consisting of greens. No fats or sugars, meat proteins or dairy included. #3 is the month method, also called the "maintenance" method; several green salads per week, 5-7 days with the same amounts of lemon and oil. The restrictions on foods would be fats and anything that attributes to gallbladder pain and discomfort. It's been a while (10 years) so you may want to do your research online to confirm the methods are correct or haven't changed? Also...very important: DO NOT atempt the 24hour cleanse if you are in severe GB pain and/or running a temperature! It means the GB is inflammed and you won't be able to expell the stones!! Seek medical attantion it will need to be removed!
How di you use it??
@@kelvinwisefombon8518 read the reply about yours. It's all there
Watching from Morocco. Thank you Dr Ekberg for the valuable content.
Thank you @Khadija-uu4vm.😄
I started Carnivore 1/06/23. The only weight loss I've achieved was water weight from blood pressure medication. I have not lost any weight or changed body composition as my clothes are the same. I am a 79 y.o. handicapped male. I eat TMAD at 9 am and 7 pm. No snacking. I use to run marathons until I was 65.
Sometimes the body has to heal years of inflammation before the body will let go of weight. Maybe try Dr. Boz sardine challenge, bone broth etc periodically.
Don’t give up. Perhaps you could try shortening your eating window by eating breakfast later or dinner earlier in order to increase your fasting hours. That might help. Wishing you success.
I love watching your videos for a deeper understand of what I'm already experiencing. It indicate to me you know what you're talking about.. That's rare to find, it's amazing you'r sharing this information with everyone.
Of all the medical speakers, this doctor’s presentations are very understandable.
Im going to 4 a 5 day's fast from the next week.
It will be my first time.
To be sure, i even did a blood test before (it came out mostly OK, only my iron is high, and i don't have any idea why).
So as soon all mostly looks good, i will prepare myself for a longer fasting.
Clean my system with a vegetables( steamed, self fermented, and raw) and just a bit of fish (plus my dayly fish oil).
Im very excited already! Can't wait!
Wich everyone lots of love and power to crush any possible disease with a holistic plan included healthy keto, intermittent fasting, bit of HIIT, and relaxation breathing exercises ❤❤❤
Thank you for adding to this video the information starting at 19:24, explaining the necessity of reducing the total amount of calories consumed after you have become fat adapted, in order to start burning the fat off the body. Reducing the amount of fat consumed is the mechanism for changing the percentage of Carb/Protein/Fat in the diet, You must end up reducing the total number of calories consumed in order to lose weight.
This truth escaped me for many years because I was focusing on the benefits of eating more good fats.
Nothing finer than taking a break in my morning workout listening to Dr. Ekberg telling me how awesome I am...
I am sooooooo AMAZING!
And self-centred.
Reducing sugar for a month and then doing a 2 days fast changes life for the bestand does a lot to help, especially the brain. For me that worked, and if I feel down or lack energy I restart this routine.
This is why I like Atkins vs. keto: I do higher protein , then fat, then low-carbs. Works for me. Lost 40lbs in 7 months last year. I'm 53.
I did Atkinson 22 years ago for 18 months. Lost 90 pounds. Have since regained and continuously fight to keep the same 20 pounds off. I need help as I keep developing allergies to foods - can’t eat beef or eggs
@rwentowski Sorry to hear that. Doubt your issues have anything to do with a high protein, moderate fat and low carb diet though. Here I am exactly a year (nearly to the day) from when I started this. Still have all the weight off plus another 5 lbs. Biggest thing for me is that it has been so easy to keep doing.
Hello doctor, I’ve been following your videos for a while, I’m 40 years old man from the other side of the world, I used to be heavy and weight 99.6kg I started the keto diet for about 2.5 months and I reduced my calorie intake to 1000cal / day, I ended up in ketosis, my macros are 60-30-10 (fat-protein-carbs), I increased my daily activities to to 2000 calories working out and then to 1000 and now I’m at about 800 calories, 7 days a week nonstop, I lost about 20 kg then I plateaued and I stopped for a week and increased my daily intake to 1300 and I’m going down again, I lost 23.4 kg total, my health has improved exponentially, my vo2 max went from 36 to 48 ranking at excellent and I can take my heart up to 179 bpm, I can maintain a cardio training for about an hour at above 135bpm and keep my heart pumping at 145bpm for at least 6 minutes, I lost some muscle during the journey, if you need any more information just ask me.
Well I really want to say thank you very much for everything, here’s some topics I really wish you make some videos about
-body recomposition
-what to eat before and post workout
-how often you should exercise during the week (and should it be successive or every other day)
Ps: for my workout, I mostly did walking uphill for 4hrs, and indoor cycling, and indoor rowing, I have all my data tracked with Fitbit including my food weighted and logged everyday, I did some glucose blood test at home also logged and , one test of urine ketones test (that’s how I knew I’m in ketosis), my weight logged almost every day using a good brand home scale, I can share with you all my data if you want it.
An other thing I think I should mention, is I’m a muslim so I do the fasting in ramadan and I do some fasting from time to time, and at any other days I do omed at 8pm, I don’t do drinking or drugs or smoking or pork meat, we mostly do Mediterranean food but I have my own recipes now clean of any processed food.
Thank you again doctor from the bottom of my heart.

As an Asian rice is our staple carbohydrates, but we're also lucky to have vegetables.
My breakfast consist of 70 grams of rice. Unlimited leafy vegetables. Chicken feet broth, or my soup with radish. With small amount of sauerkraut as my probiotics. 2 eggs and a small portion of protein, bacon or hamburger beef patties (homemade)
Same with dinner and lunch rice is only 70 grams.
I eat 3 meals a day. For me to remove or lessen lectins and phytates from the rice, I soaked it 12 hours.
This is exactly the information I need. I’m 77, do regular intermittent fasting, but not losing the 8 lbs. or so I’d like to. I’m 5’2” and weigh about 130. Adult weight before menopause was 108; I don’t expect to go there, but would like to carry less around the middle.
Same issue. 71 year old on the ketovore side, carrying 25 extra pounds before reaching a healthy BMI number. After much research, I am on a journey with the goal to build muscle by starting to weight lift. But I also do HIIT, flexibility and balance exercises. Just started; will report here in 8-12 weeks; the results should be clear by then.
Also, look to see if your stool is grey or chalky, i.e. not brown. You can gently massage your gall bladder, and it should come around. Great vid, Doc ! Cheers ! ❤

Thank you so much for taking your time and energy to share your knowledge, expertise and experience on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from you and believe I can trust that what you’re providing is the truth. I am so thankful. I wish my doctor would have informed me of some of this information . Have a blessed day!
This is a most excellent video. The topic of getting too much fat is key. I wasn't losing weight primarily because I was eating too much fat so there was no need for my body to use the stored fat. Sounds so simple when you hear it out loud. I believe this video will help a lot of people.
If eating “too much” fat doesn’t cause weight gain, then where do these excess calories and fat go???
You burn it.
You don’t gain weight if you cut your carb intake drastically. You burn it off.
I am mesmerized by you ! Simple as that. I had a whipple 3 years ago due to PC . It’s all new to me because as you imagine I been told avoid all fats . Regardless of all advices of “ genius “ doctors, I had all symptom surviving on low fat high carb diet . ( I am not sweet addicted) . Nausea, burbs been with me for 3 years . I switched now . My symptoms reduced to min . I am using creon to help my remain pancreas. If you would come across my comment, would you be so kind , suggesting something else . Thank you so much
Thank you Dr E. Your visuals against the black background are all very helpful.
Calories in, Calories out is the old belief system which most people still use. It's so sad as they never break out of the cycle of bad health/weight gain.
Calories metabolised minus calories burned is technically true. There is no escaping thermodynamics. Focusing on carbs and insulin plays a role in making calorie management easier but doesn't change the fact that every diet boils down to eat less and move more.

Some questions:
1) So what do you do when you’ve lost all the belly fat after a prolonged 1600kcl deficit? Just go back to a “normal” diet? 🤔
2) In the same context: Is strict keto and/or carnivore good for the long term? Or should you switch it up sometimes?
2) Is it all the fats that are bad and cause gallbladder problems? Or is it only certain ones and in certain amounts?
3) What if you already developed right shoulder pain and right abdominal pain? What do you do then?
Thank you so much for this video. Just what I needed! Very information dense!
Most will go back to a normal diet as keto attrition is huge. It's not a sustainable diet because very few want to eat that way the rest of their lives.
He talked about these in different videos,so if you have time watch them,there is so much information you can benefit from. All the best
With time, you should be able to find a comfortable balance. You know what foods are poison to your body: ALL processed foods! If You have reached your goal thru keto/carnivore, you no longer have cravings. To maintain your weight, watch the calories. The rest of your life: a matter to conscientiously commit to veggies, protein and healthy fats and water; sleep, exercise and keeping stress at bay (meditation/ prayer/yoga/ breathing exercises) Take Mr. Ekberg's lifestyle as your guiding light/guru. It becomes a healthy lifestyle, not a diet. Good luck!
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! I was born without a gallbladder & had difficulty from birth through my teens, and during pregnancies digesting fatty foods. I know its a rare condition. I have learned keto-carnivore is awesome, that green tea helps me digest fattier foods & fasting is the quick reset. Blessings. YS
Doc thank you for laying IR so simply, you are reaching people and this is a very good video explanation. Happy New Year! Day 12 carnivore and already seeing positive signs!
This is mind-blowing!! 🥰☺Carbs with fats will put us in a disaster!!😀
Fasting is the best thing
This makes so much sense for me and why I didn’t lose any weight last month. I’m an under eater and had started eating 75/25 ground beef last month. I switched back to 85 /15 and I’ve lost 3 lbs this week.
Dr. Sten Ekberg's information has saved my life. So thankful!
As to #1, now I think that's exactly why I've been in a holding pattern and actually gained back 6 to 7 pounds after easily losing 35 pounds. My weight is fine, but I think I want to lose those 6-7 pounds again ... and what I've never done is dial back my fats. Thank you so much for pointing this out, I've been fixated on the ratios for too long.
In my opinion, #1 is all most people need to know. I used to think counting net carbs was the only thing you needed to do on Keto, but I realized that logic was flawed, you should monitor your caloric intake as well then if you plateau you can make adjustments. If you're not losing weight on Keto, you're eating too many calories. You need to either up your activity, lower the calories, or a combination of both. One more thing to include, be careful cutting your calories because if you're too aggressive thinking it will make you lose more, you risk slowing your metabolism down. Shoot for a 250-500 deficit till you're losing no more than 0.5% of body weight a week, and hold it there, making adjustments as time goes by.
You need to watch this video again. You missed the entire point. Hint: It's not about (just) cutting "calories".
I lost 80 pounds with IF ( mixed food )
Then switched to Keto OMAD
Lost another 20 pounds
From BMI 38 down to BMI 21
Haven’t been sick for the last 5 years
"Don't eat."😂❤ Learning about the concept of burning "body fat" versus "dietary fats" may be elementary science for some, but for me, this is life changing! While I don't exhibit any signs of eating "excess" fat, I now understand that I need to go back to intermittent fasting so as to give my body the opportunity to burn the proper fat source. Thank you so much!🙏🌹
Yes! And for autophagy (another topic :)
I just said a similar thing to someone last night. They asked what I was eating that I dropped a few pounds and I said “nothing “😂. They looked at me like I was crazy.
Do slow fasting rather than fast fasting. 😅

I do not have a gall bladder and do not take ox bile or other supplements. I eat 1,200 calories-50% carbs, 20% fats and 30% proteins-on an OMAD schedule. Staying on this eating plan with moderate exercise, I maintain my desired weight (117-120 lbs); but if I go off this meal plan for an extended period, I gain weight.
Thanks for that reminder! I've been stuck on the same weight since the end of summer. I definitely need to cut back on the fat if I want the weight loss to gain traction again. I still have 5 kg to go to bring my BMI under 25.
20/4 OMAD. Ketovore. Not hungry. Lost 50+ibs in one years. What you are not eating because more important than what you are eating. Once you stop all sweaters and all gluten you are on your way to controlling your hunger. Key note:. Insulin resistance. Fat adapted. Ketosis.😎
Could you make a video specifically for those of us who have had our gallbladders removed?
Is it healthy to follow a high-fat, low-carb diet without a gallbladder?
I've been missing my gallbladder since I was 12 years old.
Love Dr. Ekberg, and he just gave his awesome backwards writing ability secret away; he's reversing the image, as per pointing to his left while talking about the gall bladder being on the right ! Nice tecknique.
So what? You can’t spell, either.
I eat a carnivore diet minus dairy, there was this vibe in the community to eat more butter for hormonal health. I don't eat a lot usually, depending on my exercise. My weight had been stable and optimal when I started taking about half a bar of butter daily and I gained weight very fast, 5-6 lb. Stopped the butter and the weight went down to my normal weight again.
