Asante sana daktari.
Translation: (Thank you so much doctor)
"blah, blah, blah of THIS" is typical clickbait title. I would refrain from titling my videos THIS way if I cared about my reputation.
By the way, since we are all holistic, my understanding is that 'the more growth hormone, the higher the risk for cancer'. Which is Okay because cancer AND a big tummy are like a double insult.
@@arthdenton Blah, blah, blah, you do realize he is talking about naturally raising your own growth hormone production. That has nothing to with HGH therapy. Cancer studies you are referring to are growth hormone injections and treatments, not raising your own production of growth hormones naturally. .Please site one study that shows increasing your bodies' own production of growth hormones through diet or exercise naturally is linked to cancer. Not growth hormone therapies / treatments which use artificial means or introduction of synthetic growth hormones.
@@fishfood8719 I see. So there's 2 different kinds of growth hormone. The GH that makes cancer more likely and the GH that does not. It's very interesting.
Speaking for myself, I don't count calories or 'carbs', eat ice cream whenever I feel like which is often. I also exercise - mostly laps in pool or swim in sea - and have been doing OMADs for more than 2 years now. I lost about 45 lbs. after I started the OMAD to reach my exact ideal weight and my formerly semi-generous tummy is a six-pack tummy now. As for the growth hormone... I'm sure it's there, somewhere.
@@arthdentonThere are two main types of hormone therapies, synthetic and bioidentical. Not to mention hormone blockers which is for the opposite result. These are introduced to increase the levels of hormones the body is not producing enough of, or to achieve optimum levels of. That includes HG, testosterone, estrogen for examples. Bioidentical hormone duplicates the exact chemical and molecular structure of the naturally produced hormone. Therefore, the body thinks it is the real deal, and your body reacts as it should. Synthetic hormone does not have the same molecular structure as the naturally produced hormone, so it doesn’t quite fit the receptor. As a result, these hormones can cause unwanted side effects, such as some cancers. Another approach is Sermorelin, it's a specific growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRH). This means it is a bioidentical hormone that stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more HGH, meaning you body will raise it's own HG levels. HGH therapy raises your HGH levels by directly injecting a synthetic version into your system(synthetic). Either way the video was about neither, just like naturally treating insulin and diabetes with diet and exercise,versus insulin injections and medications.
I just want to come and personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. After watching your videos I lost 60 pounds in one year. I also brought my fasting glucose rate from a 95 to a 73. I am no longer insulin resistant or pre-diabetic. I believe you may have saved my life
Tomara que ele veja seu comentário, ou poste novamente em um vídeo mais atual.
Super achievement, well done!!
Heart warming comment. Thank you for sharing this. Peace out!
Excellent ✨👍👍
i tried dropping pop cold. that didn't work so good. i was drained energy wise. i had to cut back. slow it down. going from lots of sugar to little or no sugar is too much of a shock to the system. cut it back. think about it as like a 3 or 4 month plan. as you do that ... increase your effort. excercise daily. slowly change your diet to be a bit healthier. We are not talking going from chicken n ribs to salads in a day here. slowly remove the really bad meals to a point where these are cheater days and slowly add healthier meals. Going in all at once is a recipe for fail. Getting into shape and more importantly staying in shape is as much about habits and lifestyle as it is about the work and what you eat.
Dr. Sten Ekberg, can you please talk about menopausal women, how we best can take care of our self. Something we can manage! Not easy to NOT gain weight, the body is max stressed and fatigued at the same time and the bodyshape is changing. Sleep is just something to dream about. Energy is a lost case. Just feel totally lost, and i know i am not alone. Most women really struggle for years.
YES PLEASE!
Being greeted as a “health champion” by an Olympic decathlete I must admit feels really, really good, and is super motivating. 😀
😂
True, even though it ain't true, lol
@@JackLondon12 Why you say it is not true?
@@nathalie_desrosiers I mean it's not true that I'm a health champion.
@@JackLondon12 Ah. LOL
Dr. Ekberg, I can’t imagine the time you have to spend preparing your very informative videos. Appreciate them so much as I know you have your “day job” and still manage to provide us all this knowledge…simply thank you! Always looking forward to Friday mornings to view your videos. 🙏 thank you!❤️
Thank You L. B.. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. I'll keep doing it, because my passion is to bring the message of health to both a local and a global community. 😄
@@drekberg same here👍
I'm from India . When I run between the wickets in cricket for 20secs with High intensity for not getting out and that's really worked for me to loose belly fat.
@@drekberg Thank you kindly!
DrEkberg , I do appreciate for your valuable videos from Hungary 😍 a former athlete
I am 23 and I have always been heavy, I turned 91 kg this January. People always told me how to lose.
Either it didn't work, or I couldn't keep up.
Finally I started studying about insulin resistance from your videos, got diagnosed with pcos, and adapted a more long term journey. Today I weigh 75 kgs, my goal is 63, but I am taking it slow, doing IF, controlling binges, and I have been much more happier. Thank you!
Thats great! How many kcal you consume per day and how many hours do you fast?
@@nakkiel7 That's the info I want to know because when you put information into a calorie calculator and your really overweight the calories is crazy high along with the macros you need to lose a pound of body weight per week when you IF fast and do keto it is extremely difficult to reach the calories and macros needed
Good for you! Keep going,you got this.
Do you mind sharing your workout routine? I have the same goal in mind right now (just turned 23 and I'm around 88kg with pcos) and controlling my eating has helped a lot but I'm struggling to exercise consistently
@@tropicaldisaster8135 Hey! Okay so what I did was not restrict too much, I am indian so a strict keto diet was impossible. So i started with 16/8 IF, had two meals, two eggs in the morning, and a nice fulfilling dinner at 6. Low carb is best.
As for my workout, intense sessions with pcos is a no no.
I walked for an hour after waking up, did a 5-10 minute HIIT. And a 30-60 minute walk after dinner. It's important to take it slow, I used to walk for half an hour in the beginning, often messed up my diet.
Be patient with yourself, that's the most important part.
Also, lots of water!
Do not listen to people who say you cant lose weight with pcos because i just lost 15 kg.
Also to answer the question above,
Like i said i didn't restrict too much, stayed in a 1000-1300 calorie intake.
I burnt most of it with walking and HIIT.
To summarise:
Walk, water, limit snacking, no heavy restrictions, be nice to yourself.
Is it any wonder those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s struggle with this? We were fed advice for years that low fat and cardio exercise are the keys to long term health success. To discover through time how wrong it all was. Thank you Dr. Ekberg fr taking up the challenge to help the masses.
Rowing is my thing. Watch the news whilst I row, and after 30 min, 300 cals, and no stress on my knees.
20 seconds is not enough recovery. Beginners should start with 10 seconds all out and 50 seconds rest.
I have been living proof of this this year. Started my journey in January. Lost 108lbs and a lot of fat. Intermittent fasting. Cut carbs, sugar, grains, and meat fed the wrong diets. Started the HIIT workouts. It works.
I have battled weight most of my life of 54 years. Nothing worked before I tried this.
So the naysayers cannot affect me on this one.
Superb results. Keep it up :-)
You lost a whole human being in weight! That is amazing! Congratulations!
Great job! And yes the naysayers try their best to muddy things up even when they see the results up close. I don’t understand them.
That's amazing! ❤
I need proof
From 241 to 163 pounds, i am 5'11 working out with bands and using my body, even stevie wonder told me i look good.
Lol
Exercises are fine but for fat loss to occur, a proper diet is a must. Exercising alone can shape your abdominal muscles and make them look good, but ONLY if you melt that layer of fat that is covering them (and your whole body...) I am currently in my third week of following a diet plan I got from Dietarize. I definitely lost some fat. It's slow but steady process. It also comes with a workout plan. You could also find something for yourself. Happy dieting and exercising!!
Kitchen 75% exercise 25%
True. You can't out-train a pizza.
It depends on your metabolic health. If your metabolic health is good, you can reduce it by exercises.
If you look, many youngsters (early 20s) reduce fat cheifly by heavy workouts.
But yes, if you have 0 control on your diet there may be no hope.
Ernährung umstellen+fasten+sport
I periodically return to these videos when I go astray and need to refocus. The no nonsense, clear and practical explanations and advice always brings me back in line as it did today. Thank you!
ET ALORS LES PERSONNES QUI NE SONT PAS DIABÉTIQUES ET QUI STESSE POUR UN ☝️ OUI OU UN NON QUE DEVRAIENT FAIRE EN SE CAS 🙆🏿🙆♂️🙋♀️🙋🏿🙋🏿🙋♂️🙋♂️
Dr Ekberg, unfortunately in the gym I see a lot of HIITT (High Intensity Interval Thumb Training on cellphone) not HIIT…
For me... Cutting carbs and working out was the best way to lose it. (using fasting, keto and carnivore diets helps)
Thank you for showing heavy-set people exercising instead of just muscled or thin people ... it makes me feel it's okay for me to be included as well.
I can vouch and say I’ve tried both approaches. The long cardio sessions made me gain weight, while the short HIIT sessions have an immediate impact and allow me to lose weight quickly (and make me feel great!). Good news for all of us who don’t have 2 hours to spend at the gym!
This time last year, I was eating clean and watching my macros and calories. I was also exercising. For 5 month at 200lbs I lost no weight and was having a breakdown. I am now on my 5th attempt at keto and 3 weeks in, no exercise yet and I have barely lose any weight this time. I am down only 4 pounds in 3 weeks but as of this morning I am down some inches. I'm 38 and really frustrated I can't lose weight. I need to lose 40pounds so I can carry a baby to term (I hope. It will be my first) I think my body is just offed at this point after 2 decades of disordered eating, and chronic dieting. However, I am 18 months sober as of today so I'm doing something right. I desperately need this weight off
@@samanthakelly4222 Push yourself to do intermitent fasting. As for exercise do sprinting for 15 seconds and rest for a minute between each set for 5 sets.
i can vouch aswell and say the opposite just causually walking around 10k steps per day while fasting melts fat like butter and easy to stay consistent unlike hiit.
@@anbessa21 both approaches work mostly depending on what you like doing better and or body type. Hiit or sprint and walk like i suggested can be done two or three times a week while walking 10k has to be done everyday and takes longer.
@@samanthakelly4222 Hi, Samantha. Sounds like you've come a long way and I am rooting for you. You might consider reaching out to Dr. Ekberg or someone like Dr Cywes or Dr. Berry (who also have youtube channels). These Docs speak our language and can professionally analyze your unique situation. (Telemedicine.) I'm impressed that you are working so hard and I'd bet one of these guys could guide you to the next level. Good luck and God Bless!
I really love the way how you explain all these important matters in such an understandable way!
Thank you Milou Stapelkamp. 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. 😄
And in an enjoyable way too😊
I agree!
@@drekberg I was diagnosed with LBBB (frequency dipendent), so my heart stop working properly when hit 140. I'm 48. Is there another way to make it without going too high in frequency?thanks
@@drekberg i havent watched it yet, so i hope i am wrong, but........ YOU CAN NOT LOSE BELLYFAT IN 5 MIN. IT TAKES CALORIE DEFICITE TO LOSE BELLY FAT
Dr. Sten! Thank you so much for being an incredible teacher! I have taken your advice (nutrition and exercise-wise) the last month and my results already are incredible!!! And more importantly, my mental health has improved so much. I didn't realize how much stress all the other info on the internet was causing me- and trying to find the truth was difficult. I love your videos and please keep making more! 💕
I genuinely think this is one of the best explained fitness videos on UA-cam.
The instant you change your mentality you have changed your entire life ✊ ✊ ✊ ✊ ✊
Thank You 🦅Mehran Hashmi:motivational speaker🦁 😄
Absolutely!!
All you have to do is cut out sugar, that’s it good luck
Carbs are sugar.
I love being called a health champion 🥰
You are the Master for all health issues! Love watching and learning from your videos!
I would love to see a video focusing on menopausal women and how lack of estrogen changes everything with weight loss and exercise. 😉
I agree w/the request for a video that focuses weight management and belly fat for menopause... I never had belly fat until and need assistance on getting rid of it!
Look up dr.mindy she is amazing,,, everything concerning womens health including keto , menopause ect 👍💗
@@saritareynolds8258 dr.mindy on utube , she is amazing..😍👍
I’m post meno and have lost 30 pounds this year basically sitting around doing very little other than working. Give keto one month, you’ll find that it’s easy to maintain and you will lose weight even without estrogen.
@@therealhellkitty5388 I absolutely agree with you 👍...same happened to me , I'm 49 and just started keto with intermittent fasting 2 weeks ago , I'm totally amazed...16lbs lost already
It has to be tried to be believed!!! 🙋♀️💗
Last 2 months, I started fasting, jumping rope and boxes and for the first time in my life, started burning fat, you nailed it Dr. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was working, short intense workouts. My blood pressure also dropped from stroke level to normal, no drugs.
Welp, that's me out then, as the vaccines have messed with my heart
@@bigglyguy8429 messed up with many. Take care bro.
Consult experts regarding the best routine regarding your situation
Burpees are deadly to me.
@@bigglyguy8429I slowly lost 53 pounds at 77 with no exercise, less than 5 grams of carbs. It truly works. I had COVID
Tusen tack Sten! Du är bäst! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Jag uppskattar dina videos oerhört mycket.
I can only say thank you. The effort you put in this is priceless
Thanks! I needed this! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
This man and Dr Jason Fung have it all figured out perfectly! Thank you for taking the time to educate us with true, proven information! Consistent high insulin levels is the problem !
Du är den bästa av alla som förklarar fettförbränning
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg, I’ve been on keto and intermittent fasting for 6 weeks, some very light exercises and I went from 178 to 164lbs in just 6 weeks. My goal wasn’t to lose weight because I wasn’t overweight at 178, I wanted to diet for health benefits and your videos greatly helped me. Hope everyone will achieve their personal goals. I also quit using added sugar
A friend recommended your videos, Dr. Ekberg, and I wish to join the chorus of those thanking you for your informative, easy-to-understand channel. I’ve been doing my best to stick to a Keto diet since March of this year, and while I have been largely successful, combining it with regular exercise, the information you provide has helped me kick it past a certain plateau, and I feel better than I have in decades as I gradually and sanely continue towards my goals. Slow and steady… with HITS!… wins the race. This is great info. Thank you again.
Dr. Ekberg, A year and half ago I got some blood work done and I was told I am pre-diabetic also they told me I had chronic inflammation and my blood pressure was out of wack so I had a whole lot of symptoms that came with that. My doctor (at the time) prescribed a whole pharmacy of drugs for me to take for all the symptoms including chronic knee pain because my weight at this time was 280 lbs. I did not want to take any medication so I decided to do more research and that's when I came across your channel and decided to use the information you are providing and put them into practice, A year and half later my A1C went from 6.5 to 4, I went from 280 lbs to 170 lbs .. my knee pain went away, my blood pressure is normal, I have lots energy and feeling really good.. the Information you provide ranges from nutrition to how to exercise so I am very well educated in how to keep my cortisol low even when Im stressed because we are human and life happens but I am well aware how the body reacts so I meditate to keep myself calm. I can't thank you enough, I didn't have to spend a single dollar on anything except the food that I eat, which I had to eat anyway and my grocery budget got cheaper because I am not buying snacks anymore, just whole foods and good fats.... Thank you is not enough, you have changed my life... and for that you have my eternal gratitude.
I have so much respect and gratitude towards this man. I've learned a tremendous amount and lost 20lbs since I started watching and putting his knowledge into play. Thank you Doc
Congratulations on your new clinic Doctor Ekberg
So many videos of burning fat online but this one is the one that is explained really well.
your science on diet and fitness is so easy to understand,
also keep me in high spirit to do them exercise everyday,
because while I'm not improving much, but I'm definitely on track, I'm in it for a "long run", thanks 💪🏼😊
Thank you, Dr. for giving away so much. You are always right on the money. Nothing you say is ever wrong or irrelevant. All people need to do is to listen, relisten, take note; now, go out there and do it. Simple as that.
No one else brings such detail in addition to bigger picture issues all in one easily digestible package. Ekberg for life.
Dr. Ekberg, I was blessed with good genetics. Always worked out and had good athletic ability. The one thing I was missing was the nutritional side of eating and caring for your body. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. You are changing and saving many lives!
Dr Eckberg, you are certainly changing lives, bringing health to the global community. This video reflects my life. I’m eating for disease, systemic sclerosis. I’m very strict with my diet intermittent fasting and now one day on top of the intermittent fasting alternate weeks and the other alternate weeks two days fasting on top of intermittent fasting. After 5 years I can now see and feel the wheels turning back to better health although I far from out of the woods, no complacency. Everything in this video and thanks to your other videos that have helped my understanding and what to further do if I wasn’t doing it due to lack of awareness - you’ve been key to my health. Now I know why my body has gone from muscle wastage due to no exercise and then disease diagnosis to trying to turn things around and things being slow to now seeing the benefits, high muscle mass coming back, fitness levels, less fatigue etc as I’m doing strength high intensity workouts using my body weight and my body is beginning to work now which I use to think I would drop with a heart attack as my heart rate would go up quickly and sweating quickly but my body seems to be adapting, naturally of course, I started gently but kept pushing a little. Before I was incapable of exercising initially some many years back. Lucky for me part and parcel is muscle memory as use to exercise extensively. I’m never going back to bad health and the bad food pattern and certain foods we’ve been led to believe are healthy due to profit. It can be done but boy it’s damn harder than hard but now the benefits are beginning to make it become easier. I even fel like I can put my disease in remission and one day get rid of it. I’ve lost almost 3 stones and a lot of belly fat where my son says I’m beginning to look athletic and can see muscle through belly even though still fat but it’s no longer sagging over my trousers. My aim is to get rid of total belly fat as this is the significance of disease onset or made worse by clogging organs. Until then will things really start to fall into place. Thank you as your videos and the way you deliver them is quite magical from the outset, very interesting but importantly, you care enough to save lives. I’m from UK which shows you are reaching the global community. You should know you are quite amazing.
You’re an excellent teacher. I’ve been learning so much from you about how the human body functions and why specifically certain foods & exercises will work and it’s completely changing the game for me. Thank you so much! 🤗🤗
Sir, you are a real life superhero! Giving all this information for free to help people improve their health is truly noble. You have my respect for life.
Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for doing what you do!
Excellent, credible information & well-presented. I’m a firm believer in HIITs vs long, fatiguing workouts. Thanks, Dr. Ekberg. You’re a great professor.
Congratulations on your new facility!! I thank you for all the invaluable information that you provide. Listening to you and putting into action has improved my health tremendously. My BP is 110 over 80 now ,it was Like 170 over 120 and all over the board. Before, I used 5lbs a month of sugar in my coffee, plus all the donuts and useless carbs. I thought I was healthy because I was a runner ,then in July of 2020 I had a massive pulmonary embolism and almost died. That is how I found you and Dr. Berg. I can't thank you enough.
This is by far ine of the most balanced, informative and educative channels on YT. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You need to be in a calorie deficit, if you are not in a deficit, you will not lose weight. As soon as I clamped down on the calories, and reducing all the fat, you will not lose weight. I quit carnivore after a year of the scale not budging. I am eating high fiber, high super lean protein, under 20 grams of fat. Lost 6lbs in 10 days. Plus, my cholesterol came down from 275 to 221.
Thank you so much for your videos. All my life I've enjoyed learning anatomy and physiology so I can use that knowledge to be as healthy as possible. It has been a long time since I have been interested or able to add to my knowledge. Your videos have changed that for me. Thank you and God Bless you. Keep up the good work, there are people who need to learn what you are teaching. You are improving lives my brother.
Your integrity mixed with intelligence and knowledge puts you on your own health scale at number 4. Love your work 💕
I really love the way you discuss things by simplifying everything..you make it sooo easy to understand..thank you so much.I have been endorsing you to my friends every time they tell that i finally lose weight and moment they ask me what I did,I just tell them your name
Thank you for sharing the beautiful truth and debunking all the mainstream “ health advice “.
Truly changing lives!!
I’m so grateful for your videos. I learn so much and apply the knowledge you share to my life daily. Thank you. You have helped me immensely.
Being obese and yo-yo dieting my whole life all the while killing myself at the gym for decades I finally got my fasting insulin levels checked and everything FINALLY fell into place. I dug into the research and found Sten Ekberg and his many life saving videos.
Before the pandemic hit I was on an extreme workout regimen. I had been training Krav Maga for years and had gotten really fit and strong. I thought, I'll lose weight and learn to fight. Well I learned to fight but didn't lose much weight. After the initial weight loss stopped and started edging back, I just increased intensity and hours (more of the same will work right?). Right before the lockdown I was up to 15 hrs of training a week. Well on my way to becoming a black belt in Krav Maga. But the weight wasn't coming off anymore and started to creep back up (it's fine, you're just making muscle and it's offsetting, don't worry about it). My diet was ok. Mostly "healthy" but I allowed myself the occasional treat and a few beers here or there (why not? I trained hard at the gym, burned lots of calories, I deserve a reward)....you know the Standard American trying to get fit Diet.
After Covid hit, I got super depressed. No more workouts and specially close quarter hand to hand combat and jiujitsu. I regained everything I had lost training Krav Maga and then some. Completely stopped caring about diet and exercise. Ballooned back up almost matching my all time highest weight. It was horrible. After a death in the family and even worsening depression I felt absolutely horrible and hit rock bottom and finally decided to act on the diagnosis of having high insulin levels.
That was 7 months ago. I am now down 70lbs. I feel absolutely amazing. I am never hungry anymore, where before I was sure I had a food addiction. I have tons of energy. Digestion has never been better. I go on looong hikes (usually in a fasted state), weight lifting and occasional short heavy bag HIIT sessions (got to keep up some fighting ability for when I finally get back to training Krav). I will start adding uphill sprints soon, the knees are feeling better.
I have taken to Intermittent fasting and the occasional extended fast once in a while. When I do eat I eat till I'm FULL. No more stopping eating before I'm full, that noise NEVER worked for me. I eat lots of fatty protein, usually wild fish and forage fed and grassfed meats, cheeses, creams and eggs. Lots of avocados, greens, cruciferous veggies and healthy fats. I find doing intermittent fasting allows me to consume more high fiber veggies without the extra carbs knocking me out of ketosis. I can even have an apple or even a few plums or some keto ketchup or keto BBQ sauce now and my ketones barely budge. Fasting has given me more flexibility and tolerance of carbs. But when my ketones do dip, fasting brings them right back.
10 weeks ago I quit smoking cigarettes. I felt so confident in my appetite control, diet and eating windows that I decided to quit that nasty habit. "Oh you'll gain weight..." I instead lost 10lbs since quitting nicotine. I can partake in occasional marijuana consumption and guess what? No munchies. It was never about my appetite, it was always sugar and carb cravings.
I am now nearing my all time low adult weight and soon I will break through and finally lose the bulge once and for all. And I'm doing it with eating rich foods till I'm absolutely full, by walking and skipping a few meals here or there. Who would've thought?
The medical, pharmaceutical and fitness industries can go jump in the lake. Thanks for decades of torture and bad info.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg for what you do.
- Health Champion
Awesome work! Congrats to you! 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
here's to another 7 months! cheers
Good for you!!!!!
Yes, you are a Champion!! You've inspired me to follow your routine. Hope I can stick to it!!
I want to thank you for your time and your expertise. I love how you explain things in a clear and easy to understand format. ❤
This may be the most captivating topic yet
This was explained simply yet throughly. Anyone could understand and get inspired and motivated to start their weight loss journey. Thanks Doctor :)
Thank you so much, after watching one of your videos I've started intermittent fasting and it's really working for me, now I need to start exercising (have been walking lots) and this is just what I needed to hear, thank you :-)
Hei Søta Bror. Har akkurat oppdaget kanalen din! Masse flotte råd for en middelaldrende mann med halvveis forsømt helse. Dette gir motivasjon for et sunnere liv. Takk så mye!
It's nice to see the diet/exercise ratio explained according to different metabolisms for a change.
I have been living proof of this this year. Started my journey in January. Lose 105lbs and lots of fat. Intermittent fasting. Cut down on starches, sugars, grains and meat due to eating the wrong diet. Start a HIIT workout. It works. I have battled with weight for 56 years of my life. Nothing worked before I tried this. So the naysayers cannot influence me on this. Thanks Dr.
@365 Why does this sound suspiciously like the review left by Donald Bellar. I love and have enormous respect for Dr. Ekberg but these reviews seem fake. Why would you do this?
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for this motivating video with the simplest exercises.
Thank You Anjali Agrawal. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I love the way the concepts are described in these videos. So clear and concise. Thanks so much.
Thank you, I confirm I have been doing this now for 3 weeks (resistance training) and the benefits are coming.
Happy to have your video again! Thanks Doctor!
Thank You Terufumi Siu. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I can't help but press like on all your videos! Too good Doc!
Thank You AD Blaze. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
So glad I found you! Your clear teaching is invaluable. Thank you!
Dr. Ekberg you have a great encouraging manner. I’ve recently had bloods done all is well except for raised cholesterol. I’m 56 I’ve lost 2 stones on fasting since Feb this year. I heard your videos about Cholesterol. I’m hoping my weight will stabilise as will my cholesterol. Thank you for imparting your valuable knowledge I am very grateful to you 🙏🏾
Thank you Dr Ekberg! So much insight into the mechanics of our energy usage in HIIT. I am 72 and have to take care of my knees! Thank you for your great videos! 🙌
You can do HIIT in a chair, so it's gentle on your knee.
Your videos never disappoints!!
The in depth explanations behind this wisdom is priceless
Dr.Sten knocking it out of the park, as usual!
I have been following your recommendations for fasting and low carbs. It's really helping and I used that as an excuse to stop exercises, that I hate doing anyways.
Now, because you say I should do exercise, I will.
You should hold your breath for 2000 seconds. Recommendation from Dr. Werzel
You are the most talented doctor on internet Dr. Ekberg. Thank you for your videos
Thank you Eyad Ghuzlan. 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. 😄
This makes so much sense You do a great job explaining
Simply love it !! Tons of thanks Dr. Ekberg🙏
Thank you for this! I have changed my diet because of my desire and your information. I’ve lost 5lbs doing nothing but changing my hormones and interval training. You are saving lives!
Thank you TheGodParticle for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
What if I do weights will that build hormones or do I have to do intervals?
I've been riding my bike 45" 7 days a week and my weight stopped dropping months ago. I love this. I will build in 5" max effort from now on. Thank you Dr Ekberg!
Your weight probably leveled off cause you built muscle to replace fat. Just keep doing what he said and what your doing. But cut caloric intake slightly like only 300 calories a day it will more than likely help. I just cut sugar and belly fat melted away. But yet I weigh the same.
Started watching last March and lost 60 pounds, had to have back surgery in the winter and fell of the fasting train but I'm back omad right now and just keep changing up. I have put 15 pounds back on but I feel good at this weight thank you. Still watch all your videos
Wow. Perfectly explained. Unfortunately most people get addicted to the mellow, warm fuzzy cardio they've always done, and will just dismiss this because high intensity is hard.
Trust me, low level cardio is pushing my body beyond my strength 💪🏼 🙏🏼
Thank you for the education.
You're welcome Xan He. My pleasure. Thanks for watching 😄
Thanks Dr. Ekberg! Love your videos. Keep going to doing this great content. I’m sure you helping a lot of people getting healthier.
We highly appreciate the effort Dr. Ekberg, you are the champion!!
What a great video! I work in a physical therapy & rehabilitation office and see a lot of injuries, so I just worry about that very last part, because people believe the "no pain, no gain" motto and wind up really pushing their actual abilities and limits way too far, damaging and ripping soft tissues and hurting their joints. Other than that, this is excellent advice!
I read somewhere that to build muscle you have to tear flesh to rebuild, creating muscle. Is this accurate? It sounds barbaric.
“Even though it’s very unpleasant to run into a tiger” , yes sir, Dr. Sten. I would call that VERY unpleasant. 🤣 I’m truly thankful and grateful for the information you provide. You’re helping millions!
These make total sense to me - thank you!
Incredibly useful and well presented information right here. Love it. Thanks doctor E!
I didn't know HIIT could be so simple. I'm excited to try this out 🙏🏼
It's great as the results are better health and increased athleticism. My favorite now is to throw the football, run routes with friends. The sprints with the added challenge of catching the football are fun.
This was the best explanation of hormones vs diet I’ve seen in YEARS. And explaining the difference between HIIT and simple aerobic exercise.
You are a gift to humanity.
YaY🎉 Yes, I can do a short intense workout! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for this information..🌹
Do push up, pull up and squads to failure. 10-15 min to totally exhaust yourself but there is no sour tomorrow. 3 days to train and 1-2 day to rest. In two months the outcome will surprise you...
Good idea Vadime Sharak.
This is a full body workout and it's all you need. I do them every other day as many as I can In 15 to 20 minutes.
What if only 6 7 pushups burnout me,🙂
this will only work on someone who never exercised in their life, it's a good cardio though but not good way to get muscles.
Squads till failure seems a bit risky :P
I started watch your videos last year. I went from 125kg to 90 in less than 3 months. Dina videos är väldigt lärorika och du förklarar på ett riktigt bra sätt. Jag har sett alla dina videos sen jag började prenumerera på din kanal! Mycket bra kanal! Mvh
Congratulations. Could you please describe to me how you exactly managed to loose these 35kg?
Thank you very much. Wkr. Stan (Netherlands)
I agree with the previous comment. Thank you so much for spending the time to give us this information. I’ve turned dozen of people on to your channel
Great visualizations. Solid information as usual. Thank you.
I don't have weight to lose. But the topic is captivating. Thanks for choosing it as a topic.
Thank You Ace Leaf. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
This is why I love basketball. Sometimes I’m stationary, just hitting jump shots. But, then I can do quick sprint, cuts, and moves that really get my heart rate up while doing something I’ve always loved. I do it for at least an hour a day, and it’s helped me so much. Thank you for your help in understanding health
Yeah, basketball is definitely a HIIT sport but you can also make it more of the cardio type, depending on what you choose to practice.
The biggest key is do what you love. That is a big motivator. They just add more walking in your day. Plus run up stairs.
I'm delighted to come across this channel, truly life-changing information. thank you
