Yea, good luck getting them to teach you that kind of stuff in republican run states when they won't even teach you the real history of the USA, black history, or let you read books on the holocaust. In other words, education has turned into nothing more than a beginners tutorial on how to force mass propaganda on the population.
I'm am a highly insulin resistant type2 diabetic I only eat avocados, olives and organic strawberries when in season. Any other fruits send my glucose levels soaring. Eliminating fruits, higher carb vegetable and starches (ketovore way of eating) has permitted me to lose weight and come off if insulin injections. I am proof that severe insulin resistance can be improved through dietary changes.
Great metabolic health comes from human behavior and that includes eating human food. Keep up the good behavior. Seed oils, Sugars, Carbs and Processed Foods are all non-human food, aka, poison.
@@sylviabriggs4087 Every human who stops eating Seed Oils, Carbs, Sugars and Processed Foods will get healthier and feel better. Exercise, plenty of sunshine and good sleep also helps. This applies to any person.
@@donmullage4065 Thank you. I am 100% driven by health goals. And yes, those goals have become even more ambitious since reaching my initial goal. Now I want even more health benefits, so I have extended my goals even further.
i had a heart attack this last Tuesday. i had a valve 100% block and a stent put in. my sugar was 500 and they told me i be on insulin for rest of my life im 51yr. i got release yesterday and my sugar was 339. i started a intermediate fast and as of right now after eating dinner im at 211. so far its working i ate eggs, bacon, onion, and mushrooms.
My blood sugar was 450 and A1C was 11.8 when i recognize I am diabetic in 2016. I did not eat any carb for 6 month and My blood sugar was not going above 140 and A1C 5.6. This fix last almost 7 years and now I started seen again 200 levels and I needed to repeat strict diet. We are not here in this world to eat and enjoy our life for sure.
To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
Good morning from St. Louis . Thanks for sharing this awesome information. It has helped me lose weight, and I have reversed my diabetes by following your information . My doctor has taken me off all diabetic medication
Great video! I disagree with the blueberry info in a way. I always buy the wild blueberries not the fat and sweet ones. There has to be a big difference between the two. The wild variety are much less sweet and more tart which is supposed to be good. I never see this mentioned when taking about fruit / blood sugar.
Ohh what a great teacher! I am a teacher by training and spent most of my life enjoying that blessing and I truly enjoy each of your videos I have watched. The best class is one where everyone can understand and this is certainly true with your videos/classes. Thanks and God bless you, Dr. E.
Thank you @Tropicalbliss45. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms, we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Thank you so much for producing such empowering content that is extremely relevant to address all the nutritional challenges that plague the modern world. There are so many people who have vast misconceptions about even the most basic nutritional concepts and your channel successfully enlightens people in this realm. I feel that nutritional knowledge is one of the most important areas of knowledge that can change the world for the better in every way. Thank you for filling the void for this information that is so desperately needed by so many people.

They don't sell good avocados anymore... and they're impossible to grow from seed. I need to go back in time and grab a branch from my great uncles' avocado farm in San Diego. That's the only way is to start with a branch.

Thank You @k.prasannavenkateshkasturi2158 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. I will look into making a video on EFA's 🙏 🏆 😄
I love putting avocado on my keto toast with crumbled bacon. I season the avacado with salt pepper, lemon or lime juice then, to make thing easy I use onion powder and garlic powder.
Thankyou Sten for my weekly session at the "University of good Health", your videos and guidance have helped me drop my weight by 18 kg over the past 18 months to a healthy maintainable level, also giving me perfect blood test numbers. My GP and I are both absolutely impressed, I'm mid 70's and "powering" on, definitely a "Health Champion".
Been watching Dr. Ekberg for a rew years now, and i am a completely changed individual. I am a cyclist and my friends cannot understand how i go on early morning rides without eating. Lol! I only eat once a day now. And always before it's dark outside. I wanted to get my weight down from the mid 220's to 200. I now weight 188 and want to go into the 170's and possibly into the 160's someday. I do 3 day fasting sometimes but it's just mistly omad. I also watch and recommend Dr. Eric Bergs channel as well as neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman. You will be amazed at all of the information that you will recieve. Things your primary care Dr. doesn't even know about. Thanks for your information Dr. Ekberg and keep the video's coming please. You should be working for the US health department but they would probably think you're crazy for dismantling their ridiculous food pyramid of high carbs, sugars and starches. 😂😂😂😂
Dr. Ekberg you are one of the best "teachers" I have ever heard. Other non sweet fruit are cucumbers, sweet peppers, okras. People usually think of these as vegetables also. Perhaps if people understood this they would realize that they already get their fruit and veggies when they eat just what they believe to be veggies. Thanks for all you do.
All of the above do actualy contain some Feuctose although the amount in cucumbers can be very low.. not always newer varieties now are quite high in fructose. :(
Hello, Dr. Ekberg, I have been looking for a lexicon to help my express my appreciation and thanks to your extremely educative and informative lectures. I still can't find the words. All I can is may the (almighty) bless you and your efforts!
Dr. Ekberg, I have been getting conflicting theories from doctors about how eggs, chicken, prawns and peanuts impact blood sugar. These are the foods I like a lot but some doctors encourage me to include these generously in my diet while some others warn against having these if I am diabetic. I want to use your advise on it. Thank you for all your insightful videos🙏
Thank You Dr E for all the life-saving info! You are my hero! Your ONE SENTENCE changed my life when I started to watch your videos; " You can not loose weight until you heal your fatty liver." Fructose is the liver killer just like alcohol, I understand now. They CONSTANTLY SAY "You can eat fruits and veggies as much as you like" in any diet program and that IS a very misleading info! I stopped to drink "healthy juices" and a "MIRACLE" happened; in 3 months I lost 25 lbs without changing anything else. Now I will work on to heal my liver more. God bless you!
This dr. literally saved my life! For 2 yrs now my A1c has been been between 4.9 and 5.3. 2 yrs ago before finding Dr. Eckberg and Dr Ken Berry. My A1c then was 9.5 and i was feeling horrible.....swollen ankles, tired all the time, severe headaches at night. Now at age 64 i feel 30 yrs younger, have lost 78 lbs to date and have more energy than when i was in my 40's. Other drs did notook at healing but pushing meds. I am off ALL meds now....hbp, statins, metformin and even my thyroid med.
I feel for the older generations that didn’t have these tools and the knowledge we have today. I can get away with the 300-400g of carbohydrates with zero issues because I have grown up listening to these health proponents and found the most important piece of the equation is a strong foundation of movement and exercise. Be strong. Be muscular. Be active.
Thanks for this. A lot of information. I watch your videos regularly and am a subscriber. Overall, I keep my blood sugar around 110-130 and sometimes after a large meal I see it jump way up to around 190-200. What I cannot understand though is why sometimes, for no reason that I can figure out, it drops... precipitously, sometimes to 50-60... Usually in the afternoon and sometimes right after I exercise (which that part I do understand) but often it will drop for no reason in the middle of the day.
@@bobbylee2853 YEs but why? I didn't eat anything, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary to trigger it... that is what I don't get. When I exercise then yes, I am burning calories and my insulin doesn't respond fast enough... I get that but when I am just sitting at my desk working and the bottom drops out...?
Sounds like what I’ve battled for many years - reactive hypoglycemia. Might be a slow first response of insulin, followed by a huge surge. Look up the Nourished by Science channel. He explains a lot of things dealing with blood sugar and insulin. It has really helped me to understand what’s happening to me and what to do to help it. Good luck!
After years of trial and error trying to figure out a proper diet for MY body I can eat avocados, olives, and a few tomatoes. The rest of fruit raises or spikes my blood sugar. Misdiagnosed for years is a thin type two when I’m LADA. I’ve also tried the little bit of lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon) in a water to “cleanse yourself every morning.” My blood sugar went from 85 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl. I’ve tried the raspberry and blackberries also. If I were to eat four- five of those my blood sugar would go from 82 mg/dl to 100 mg/dl in a heartbeat. When I tell Western medical doctors this they don’t believe me. They’re always telling me I’m doing something wrong. (come on now, you’re eating more than that) I’ve learned to ignore them and just use them for blood tests and to prescribe my insulin.
5:4 "Such an informative video! These fruit recommendations are super helpful for managing diabetes. Thanks for sharing these healthy and delicious options!"
As always, good and concise information that we can use to help improve our health. But has anyone noticed / mentioned Dr Sten's reverse writing abilities? I can read upside-down (very good when on the other side of the desk from someone with your files, such as doctor, nurse, lawyer, interviewer, etc.) but writing on-the-fly in mirror image so that it can be viewed by us in this way is definitely a sign of someone with superior mental abilities ;-)
I think the best fruit for a diabetic would be no fruit. Make it really simple by consuming no sugar AT ALL. Do that long enough and the diabetes would go away. Once you get off all medication and have good blood results, then look at low sugar fruit.
Once you get off medication? No, get off the meds ASAP, don't wait for your doctor to take you off the sh!tty substances the pharma industry is selling to us! The rest is correct, except that you can eat the fruits recommended here.
@@captainadams7569 We only need glucose, and that we can make ourselves. You don't need to consume it to have it. You'd be perfectly healthy with a 0% sugar diet. Most of the body can actually run on fat/ketones, and that's a better energy source. But for the parts that require glucose, the body would simply convert some fat to glucose. "Sugar" btw isn't just glucose. It includes fructose, a liver poison we have no reason to consume unless we're starving to death.
Avocadoes and berries are in my daily food intake... yesterday 4 large strawberries were my supper, I had 3 eggs and homemade cheese for brunch with black coffee. I had a good 2mad day 👍
Maqui berry should be one of the best fruits for diabetics to eat. Studies have found that maqui berry extract prevents blood sugar from rising, when taken before a meal; due to the delphinidums in the maqui berries. Green, unripe bananas are also one of the best fruits for diabetics. The resistant starch in green, unripe bananas hasn't converted to sugar yet. So it resists digestion in the small intestine (thereby preventing a rise in blood sugar), and then it feeds the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. And the beneficial bacteria in the gut then help to control your blood sugar.
Thank You @jakkjol4221 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Dr Ekberg, you really, really need to do an hour with Dr Ken Berry. You are both amazing and he always speaks highly of you! You have similar subscription bases and deliver identical messages. Yes he is carnivore, but he promotes Keto above all. His saying for things that are "not great" is less bad. As in vaping is less bad than smoking. Dates are less bad than rice. Great talk today, I really appreciate you!
Dr. Ekberg. I have hypo (but not hashimoto!), as we are at risk of IR because of metabolic syndrome, I am really paying attention; I think everyone should eat as if we had IR! My diet was always quite good, except for holidays, and sometimes overwork/stress eating.. always active, lot of sports, exercised. At age 50, after losing my husband to heart attack (he was running marathons/was very active), I got hypo + realized I have NO space for even slightly more fruit!! Virtually! I really researched everything about the topic, after I realized what it does to our body, no way I will eat something not good.. I do not even want to! At all! Thanks for your videos!
You shouldn’t look at food items in isolation like this as they metabolise differently in combination with each other. For example, add some Greek yoghurt to your fruit - it will flatten the glucose curve from the fruit considerably. Also, if you eat fruit (or any other carbs) after a fibre/protein rich meal - the spike from the carbs will be much smaller. You can also go for a brisk walk right after eating - no spike even following a carb heavy meal! I’ve checked this with a glucose monitor - and that’s coming from someone with a compromised glucose metabolism! Read the book Glucose Revolution. You don’t need to cut out all the foods you love - there are some simple tricks you can use to avoid those spikes. Ps. The only things you need to give up is highly processed foods and added/ refined sugar!
Disagree. A few spoons of fruit seem innocent but they've been bred to be extremely sweet and we've been bred to gorge on only the sweetest, a bad combination. I now prefer plain yogurt, no need for sugar-fruit contamination any more.
@@drekberg I watch a lot of your videos. I thank you. When our world of nutrition is turned on it's head by opportunistic food conglomerates (the food nazis) those of us who can sense a great deception need validation by professionals who are in it for the science. Thank you.
Enlightening. You'll get it straight and right here from this man. Thanks to this channel and others like it, I've lost nearly 50 lbs. in the last 11 months, because I now understand what form good nutrition takes. For decades I yo-yo'd up and down with weight because I didn't understand how to lose weight and, more importantly, keep it off. Those days are gone forever. Thanks for your contribution to my success.
And it's eye opening to lose weight while eating fat! I'm enjoying butter with my omelettes stuffed with green veggies and mushrooms and feta. And some bacon. I'm about 6 weeks in, down 13 pounds. Right now I'm doing my second 40 hour fast. It's incredible.
I have always found your presentations educational, informative and certainly very helpful. I’ve also trusted your apparently well-researched findings and subsequent nutrition recommendations…which have been (personally) much appreciated. I’m also aware how much time and genuine effort you must be devoting to this great service, on our behalf. But I’ve just seen an old video lecture of yours, where you are using “Applied Kinesiology” methods on a volunteer. I must be honest and say it has come as a bit of a surprise to put it mildly. I thought this muscle strength / diagnostic “tool” had been totally discredited years ago? I’ve always considered you to have a very logical and scientific brain. That is why I will continue to watch your weekly videos. But have I been naive?
Good morning Dr. Ekberg another great video. I don't believe in Glycemic index. Although my ALT /( Liver function) is low I don't take fruits except tomato and Avocado. Still adopt low carb diet 20g to 30g & 2MAD. God blessed 🙏
Thanks, Dr Ekberg. I'm from India, we consume a large quantity of other fruits which are available seasonally...like mangoes, jackfruit, grapes, pineapple and chickoo. Bananas and papaya are available almost throughout the year. Avocado, raspberry and blueberries are more exotic, mostly imported and priced exorbitantly. Please make a vdo on the safe quantities of these native fruits we can consume. Thanks.
Dr. Sten Ekberg: your scholarly videos on relevant subjects are matchless. Millions of people are benefiting from your this great work. In these comments, my point is: we have been told by all Keto experts from decades that Ketones are better efficient fuel than carb, and ketones are accepted by brain even without barrier but I was reading a book "Unlocking the Keto Code" which is authored by well-known Dr. Steven R. Gundry. I do hope: you too have already read this book. Dr. Steven R. Gundry argues in his book that Ketones are not a good fuel but ketones help us in another ways, which is: ketones decouple Mitochondria, and then some portion of energy is wasted. Instead of converting excessive energy into fat (which is cause of gaining weight), Mitochondria wastes its some portion, and then weight of person goes down. According to him, in this situation, Mitochondria creates more other Mitochondria in cell, and body becomes efficient. Dr. Steven R. Gundry also tends to show in his book that carb are better fuel than Ketones, and nothing is wrong in eating carbs. He says: Important is to keep eating windows tight. I appreciate, if you can spare some time, and upload your new video which discusses this whole subject in the light of Dr. Steven R. Gundry's book "Unlocking the Keto Code" - thanks
10 years ago I found out the hard way that I’m a type 1 diabetic. Was at work when I had a massive heart attack and went into arrest in the ambulance. Had emergency angioplasty and it was while recovering in hospital that I was given the news. I had all the classic symptoms but was in denial. I was 46 at the time. 10 years on and many thousands of injections later and I’m still soldiering on. Had quite a few hypos but have been able to cope with them. My lowest glucose reading was 1.6 mmol and was surprised I was still conscious. Have severe neuropathy in my legs and feet but my circulation is still good. Chin up to all the newly diagnosed type 1s out there. It’s not the end of the world.
Id like to say even when metabolically healthy,... The impairment has a big effect on life (and the immune system response) from my experience. Great video.
I live in Asia where am i going to get those fruits??? Try talking about different fruits more in line with where people live in the world and what fresh fruit they have access to
I've realized I can't have any criticism of any addict. I too, was and still am a carb/sugar/glucose (?) addict. It too affects my health physically and mentally. Until I changed my diet I was clueless to this. Any little bit of sweet taste makes me want to eat more. Sux, but I definitely had more than my share of anything sweet. Sooooo much better with zero. Absolutely love avocados and olives with no effect.
Always great mechanistic explications, Doc ! Personally, I had to remove all plants from my diet, but I'm used to it now, and it's a joy for my health. Be well! ❤️
You are sp right in so many ways. However most bread has excess added sugar. Subway "breads" used to make their sandwiches is so high in excess sugar it is officially designated as CAKE in Ireland. All the breads sold with burgers (for instance) also have excess sugar way in excess of what might be needed to activate yeast. Most main produced breads no longer have any yeast added they use pure enzymes and need no suhar added at all.
Just wanted to send a thanks to you sir. The information you're providing is very helpful to our lives and more people need it. I especially enjoy learning about how the body works from your holistic approach. Incredible, smart, and there are many people who can benefit from this knowledge.
@drekberg just want to say thank you for what you are doing. i have learned more about my diabetes and how the diet i eat is slowly killing me by watching your videos than i have from being under the doctors in my country for the last 15 years. god only knows how much damage has been caused to my body in the years that i have been mislead and confused by the advice i have been given by those that are supposed to be helping me. I have really struggled to understand why no matter what i have done using the advice from the doctors, my diabetes has been up and down and totally out of control for years. i am able to understand far clearer the things i need to change to get my diabetes under control. i have begun eating leafy greens and avocado as part of my staple diet. im eating the naturally fatty meats and have removed bread, pasta and rice almost completely and i am monitoring the difference in my blood glucose to see how much of a difference these changes are making. i can tell you that my average glucose levels have dropped from just over 17mmol to 5.7mmol within a week of making these changes.. I would love to get a diet sheet from you to help me to create meals that are going to help me, but right now i am just trying to do this by watching the videos. thank you again for your informative videos.
Thanks for all your help and informative videos. Have you done one on foods that we should eat after a stomach virus? The BRAT system is in opposition of your general messaging, so I was wondering if you had good suggestions on what to eat coming off the chucks and runs?
Sir, I regularly watch your video and learnt a lot . Thank you so much. I need help, I get itching all over the body, start from feet. I started stopping some allergic foods but still not helping me. If you can help me to find out the solutions. Thanks
Your infinitely articulate you tube information is spoken in excitingly constructed sentences and expressed in excellent American English. The flow of thoughts shows perfect clarity in explaining the processes which helps the eager listener to very easily absorb your ideas even if he or she is a novice of the medical world. It would be most wonderful if this invaluable information were made available by getting translated into Indian and other world languages e.g Hindi/Marathi and other Asian languages.This would provide access to over a billion humans to the benefits flowing from your original concepts of the practical realities of how their own body really works and easily understand in their mother tongue as to how to successfully optimize its essential functions in a simple way.
My wife is pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. We asked her doctor about going low carb, and they said it would not help her reduce her blood sugars, and that she must take Metmorfin. The doctor said that the reason why her blood sugars would not go down even if she went low carb is due to her placenta producing hormones. What is your take on that, Dr Ekberg?
@@addyresendiz9016 I eated a lot of fat. Instead of skinny milk I drank fat milk and after every meal I would go for a walk. I made a u-turn while a was pregnant. And zero sugar of cause
I used to consume 3 dates a day for iron and energy, but unfortunately they inject sugar in them so they can be sweet and plump so i stopped eating it as it raised my blood sugar, i sometimes have sml green apple and sprinkle cinnamon on it
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
I feel totally validated. #1 on my list has been avocados, and #2 olives, while I crave a date a few times a month. I've been pondering the value of fermenting fruit juice to remove the sugar and turn it into some sort of alcoholic drink.
@@captainadams7569 With a hydrometer you can measure the sugar and predict the final percent of alcohol with accuracy. In general fruit juice will ferment to 4-6% alcohol, in a similar range as beer.
@@kaakrepwhatever You may be correct, I drink plenty of Kombucha, which is green tea, black tea, sugar and fruit juice. According to the research I’ve done the alcohol yield is only 0.5 percent.
♥️👍🏻😇🥑😍 Thank you Dr. Ekberg for this video and I know it's supposed to be about diabetes but I wish you would have mentioned that those people who have kidney stone or have a propensity to get them should not eat any avocados, raspberries, or blueberries because of their High OXALATE content. Maybe you can make a different video of which fruits , and food are good to eat if you have kidney stones. Thank you and God bless.♥️👍🏻😇🥑😍
Thank you for this video, Dr. Eckberg! I learned a lot, and love your visual illustrations! On another subject, if you don’t mind, I have read about studies that five dried prunes a day are great for bone density. I have osteoporosis, age 62. I recently got my Dexascan results which show a worsening of scores for my hip. Last one was in 2018. I need to know if in my situation it would be good to eat these daily. I don’t want to go on medication which is what they recommend. I had been on one med raloxifen for a long while, and stopped due to reading about side effects of potential blood clots. I am not on any medication for any health conditions at all, and I don’t want to start now. Just eating right foods and serious weight bearing exercises. Lifting heavier weights gradually. I’ve been doing my research on exercise. I want to give this a try before meds. I’d appreciate your opinion on dried prunes addition. Again, sorry to jump in on the comments with this. I truly value your opinion. Thank you! Hope you’re having a great day!!!
Sweet taste etc - Yesterday I came close to buying a big tub of Ice-cream - Am I ever glad that common sense kicked in as I would have devoured it in short order - very glad indeed.
My question is: do we need fruits at all? This is a scientific question. Basically all fruits do contain fructose.. Which ingredients of these 10 fruits cannot be supplied via other means? Think about it

They make keto bread with 2g net carbs. It tastes okay..... but it's expensive.
I would say 37 million diabetics in America is a very conservative estimate. And I know it's an estimate.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 sourdough bread is good and cheaper
This stuff should be taught in primary/ high school so people are more conscious about their health.

I disagree with the blueberry info in a way. I always buy the wild blueberries not the fat and sweet ones. There has to be a big difference between the two. The wild variety are much less sweet and more tart which is supposed to be good. I never see this mentioned when taking about fruit / blood sugar.
I agree. I also don’t agree with the Apple analysis. He only mentions honey cris. He should’ve given and alternative apple such as Granny Smith 🍏
Thank you, Dr. E and people in the comments, I just got diagnosed and I'm really scared but you all give me so much hope!
Ohh what a great teacher! I am a teacher by training and spent most of my life enjoying that blessing and I truly enjoy each of your videos I have watched. The best class is one where everyone can understand and this is certainly true with your videos/classes. Thanks and God bless you, Dr. E.
Thank you @Tropicalbliss45. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms, we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄

Thank you so much for producing such empowering content that is extremely relevant to address all the nutritional challenges that plague the modern world. There are so many people who have vast misconceptions about even the most basic nutritional concepts and your channel successfully enlightens people in this realm. I feel that nutritional knowledge is one of the most important areas of knowledge that can change the world for the better in every way. Thank you for filling the void for this information that is so desperately needed by so many people.

This is by the most informative with compelling and Concise health information presented by Dr Ekberg; truly professional and kind. Thank you ❤
I am so grateful for this, I keep wishing I could see a 30 day meal plan that Dr Ekberg completed. It would really help me shop/consume better. Thanks Dr E!
THANKYOU, DR. BERG FOR,THE INFO ,1O FRUITS FOR DIABETES. . KAHIT 3 MAN LANG I CAN BUY IT, LIKE, AVOACODO, LEMO OR SUHA,PAPAYA,, OLIVES CANNOT BUY IT, PINEAPPLE, OR PINYA.THATSMIT, GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. ❤❤❤
I eat olives and avocados most days , almost daily ! Thank you for all the info ! ❤🙏
Thank you @balabalakrishna9960 😄
They don't sell good avocados anymore... and they're impossible to grow from seed. I need to go back in time and grab a branch from my great uncles' avocado farm in San Diego. That's the only way is to start with a branch.
So happy that I found you! My husband and I are trying to revise our diet for better health! Your videos are very helpful! thank you.
Thanks. PLEASE INFORM IN PART OF YOUR VIDEO ABOUT EPA OMEGA 3 FROM PLANT SOURCE AS I AM VEGETARIAN. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON ALA FROM FLAXSEED OIL TO EPA/DHA IN OUR BODY IN DETAIL AND SIR HOW ON EARTH THAT THESE SHAOLIN MONKS WHO TAKE LOW FAT DIET AND ARE VEGETARIAN END UP GETTING DHA/EPA FROM THEIR DIET.

I love putting avocado on my keto toast with crumbled bacon. I season the avacado with salt pepper, lemon or lime juice then, to make thing easy I use onion powder and garlic powder.
You are diabetic and you eat toast?? That's insane.
@@nonrepublicratshe said “ Keto toast “
Tomato and avocado with a sprinkle of lime and salt, best fruit ever!
Thank you @AlruMoToRiderz. Delicious 😄
And olive oil 😋😋😋

Thankyou Sten for my weekly session at the "University of good Health", your videos and guidance have helped me drop my weight by 18 kg over the past 18 months to a healthy maintainable level, also giving me perfect blood test numbers. My GP and I are both absolutely impressed, I'm mid 70's and "powering" on, definitely a "Health Champion".
Been watching Dr. Ekberg for a rew years now, and i am a completely changed individual. I am a cyclist and my friends cannot understand how i go on early morning rides without eating. Lol! I only eat once a day now. And always before it's dark outside. I wanted to get my weight down from the mid 220's to 200. I now weight 188 and want to go into the 170's and possibly into the 160's someday. I do 3 day fasting sometimes but it's just mistly omad. I also watch and recommend Dr. Eric Bergs channel as well as neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman. You will be amazed at all of the information that you will recieve. Things your primary care Dr. doesn't even know about. Thanks for your information Dr. Ekberg and keep the video's coming please. You should be working for the US health department but they would probably think you're crazy for dismantling their ridiculous food pyramid of high carbs, sugars and starches. 😂😂😂😂
KETO+IF=INTELLIGENCE
and DR STAN HAS IT!🌟
RESPECT✊
Dr. Ekberg you are one of the best "teachers" I have ever heard. Other non sweet fruit are cucumbers, sweet peppers, okras. People usually think of these as vegetables also. Perhaps if people understood this they would realize that they already get their fruit and veggies when they eat just what they believe to be veggies. Thanks for all you do.
All of the above do actualy contain some Feuctose although the amount in cucumbers can be very low.. not always newer varieties now are quite high in fructose. :(
It's ridiculous to say cucumbers and bell peppers are fruit. They are veggies.
Good morning Everyone! And thank you Dr Ekberg for content to help us live a healthy active life! 💛
You are welcome @robinsnestradio. Thank you for watching. 😄
Boy! A lot of video editing work goes into these things -- very nicely done
Hello, Dr. Ekberg, I have been looking for a lexicon to help my express my appreciation and thanks to your extremely educative and informative lectures. I still can't find the words. All I can is may the (almighty) bless you and your efforts!
Dr. Ekberg, I have been getting conflicting theories from doctors about how eggs, chicken, prawns and peanuts impact blood sugar. These are the foods I like a lot but some doctors encourage me to include these generously in my diet while some others warn against having these if I am diabetic. I want to use your advise on it. Thank you for all your insightful videos🙏
Thank You Dr E for all the life-saving info!
You are my hero! Your ONE SENTENCE changed my life when I started to watch your videos;
" You can not loose weight until you heal your fatty liver."
Fructose is the liver killer just like alcohol, I understand now.
They CONSTANTLY SAY "You can eat fruits and veggies as much as you like" in any diet program and that IS a very misleading info! I stopped to drink "healthy juices" and a "MIRACLE" happened; in 3 months I lost 25 lbs without changing anything else. Now I will work on to heal my liver more.
God bless you!
Another fruit that could have been added to the list of best fruits, my favorite is of course cucumber. Thank you Dr Eckburg for all you do!
Cucumber is definitely a vegetable. Thats why
This dr. literally saved my life! For 2 yrs now my A1c has been been between 4.9 and 5.3. 2 yrs ago before finding Dr. Eckberg and Dr Ken Berry. My A1c then was 9.5 and i was feeling horrible.....swollen ankles, tired all the time, severe headaches at night. Now at age 64 i feel 30 yrs younger, have lost 78 lbs to date and have more energy than when i was in my 40's. Other drs did notook at healing but pushing meds. I am off ALL meds now....hbp, statins, metformin and even my thyroid med.
I have been with you for 4 years and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart…. By the way I am from Sweden
I feel for the older generations that didn’t have these tools and the knowledge we have today. I can get away with the 300-400g of carbohydrates with zero issues because I have grown up listening to these health proponents and found the most important piece of the equation is a strong foundation of movement and exercise. Be strong. Be muscular. Be active.
Thanks for this. A lot of information. I watch your videos regularly and am a subscriber. Overall, I keep my blood sugar around 110-130 and sometimes after a large meal I see it jump way up to around 190-200. What I cannot understand though is why sometimes, for no reason that I can figure out, it drops... precipitously, sometimes to 50-60... Usually in the afternoon and sometimes right after I exercise (which that part I do understand) but often it will drop for no reason in the middle of the day.
Your pancreas is dumping a big load of insulin too fast.
@@bobbylee2853 YEs but why? I didn't eat anything, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary to trigger it... that is what I don't get. When I exercise then yes, I am burning calories and my insulin doesn't respond fast enough... I get that but when I am just sitting at my desk working and the bottom drops out...?
@@kl0wnkiller912 Insulin needs to be removed from the bloodstream when it’s job is done. Maybe insulin is staying in the bloodstream too long?
Sounds like what I’ve battled for many years - reactive hypoglycemia. Might be a slow first response of insulin, followed by a huge surge. Look up the Nourished by Science channel. He explains a lot of things dealing with blood sugar and insulin. It has really helped me to understand what’s happening to me and what to do to help it. Good luck!
Excellent channel. Thank you. Long time subscriber here
Thank you @derrick8224. I appreciate the support 😄
may God protect you. you are the one who is very rare . thank you very very much
After years of trial and error trying to figure out a proper diet for MY body I can eat avocados, olives, and a few tomatoes. The rest of fruit raises or spikes my blood sugar. Misdiagnosed for years is a thin type two when I’m LADA.
I’ve also tried the little bit of lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon) in a water to “cleanse yourself every morning.” My blood sugar went from 85 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl.
I’ve tried the raspberry and blackberries also. If I were to eat four- five of those my blood sugar would go from 82 mg/dl to 100 mg/dl in a heartbeat. When I tell Western medical doctors this they don’t believe me. They’re always telling me I’m doing something wrong. (come on now, you’re eating more than that)
I’ve learned to ignore them and just use them for blood tests and to prescribe my insulin.
Excellent information thank you! . What about strawberries? Where do they fall in the list?
I like strawberries with lots of fatty sour cream.
Thanks Doctor for your great talk and the very useful information!!
5:4 "Such an informative video! These fruit recommendations are super helpful for managing diabetes. Thanks for sharing these healthy and delicious options!"
As always, good and concise information that we can use to help improve our health. But has anyone noticed / mentioned Dr Sten's reverse writing abilities? I can read upside-down (very good when on the other side of the desk from someone with your files, such as doctor, nurse, lawyer, interviewer, etc.) but writing on-the-fly in mirror image so that it can be viewed by us in this way is definitely a sign of someone with superior mental abilities ;-)
I think the best fruit for a diabetic would be no fruit. Make it really simple by consuming no sugar AT ALL. Do that long enough and the diabetes would go away. Once you get off all medication and have good blood results, then look at low sugar fruit.
Once you get off medication? No, get off the meds ASAP, don't wait for your doctor to take you off the sh!tty substances the pharma industry is selling to us!
The rest is correct, except that you can eat the fruits recommended here.
I eat berries. Never have been on medication and my last A1C was 4.5.
The human body needs sugar,
There’s nothing wrong with any fruit or any natural food. The problem is that people eat more than they need.
@@captainadams7569 We only need glucose, and that we can make ourselves. You don't need to consume it to have it. You'd be perfectly healthy with a 0% sugar diet. Most of the body can actually run on fat/ketones, and that's a better energy source. But for the parts that require glucose, the body would simply convert some fat to glucose. "Sugar" btw isn't just glucose. It includes fructose, a liver poison we have no reason to consume unless we're starving to death.
This guy is way over my head. But I enjoy trying to learn. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Ditto! 🥰
Thanks as always for the amazing information and help for health, Dr. Ekberg.
You are welcome @justniceguyfurkan9007. Thank you for watching. 😄
Avocadoes and berries are in my daily food intake... yesterday 4 large strawberries were my supper, I had 3 eggs and homemade cheese for brunch with black coffee. I had a good
2mad day 👍
WOW! To say the least
Maqui berry should be one of the best fruits for diabetics to eat. Studies have found that maqui berry extract prevents blood sugar from rising, when taken before a meal; due to the delphinidums in the maqui berries.
Green, unripe bananas are also one of the best fruits for diabetics. The resistant starch in green, unripe bananas hasn't converted to sugar yet. So it resists digestion in the small intestine (thereby preventing a rise in blood sugar), and then it feeds the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. And the beneficial bacteria in the gut then help to control your blood sugar.
Where do you get Maqui berries?
@@julieellis6793 they grow mostly in South America. Some say (anecdotally ) that Gogi berries have the same effect.
Thanks!
Thank You @jakkjol4221 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I really enjoy your videos. Great work.
Thank you @gershhayes796 😄
Dr Ekberg, you really, really need to do an hour with Dr Ken Berry. You are both amazing and he always speaks highly of you! You have similar subscription bases and deliver identical messages. Yes he is carnivore, but he promotes Keto above all. His saying for things that are "not great" is less bad. As in vaping is less bad than smoking. Dates are less bad than rice. Great talk today, I really appreciate you!
Hello.
What about strawberries? I guess they fall into the better category as well
Thank you for this amazing video! I learned so much about how to eat healthier
Well put together and well documented.
Dr. Ekberg. I have hypo (but not hashimoto!), as we are at risk of IR because of metabolic syndrome, I am really paying attention; I think everyone should eat as if we had IR! My diet was always quite good, except for holidays, and sometimes overwork/stress eating.. always active, lot of sports, exercised.
At age 50, after losing my husband to heart attack (he was running marathons/was very active), I got hypo + realized I have NO space for even slightly more fruit!! Virtually! I really researched everything about the topic, after I realized what it does to our body, no way I will eat something not good.. I do not even want to! At all!
Thanks for your videos!
You shouldn’t look at food items in isolation like this as they metabolise differently in combination with each other. For example, add some Greek yoghurt to your fruit - it will flatten the glucose curve from the fruit considerably. Also, if you eat fruit (or any other carbs) after a fibre/protein rich meal - the spike from the carbs will be much smaller. You can also go for a brisk walk right after eating - no spike even following a carb heavy meal! I’ve checked this with a glucose monitor - and that’s coming from someone with a compromised glucose metabolism! Read the book Glucose Revolution. You don’t need to cut out all the foods you love - there are some simple tricks you can use to avoid those spikes. Ps. The only things you need to give up is highly processed foods and added/ refined sugar!
Disagree. A few spoons of fruit seem innocent but they've been bred to be extremely sweet and we've been bred to gorge on only the sweetest, a bad combination. I now prefer plain yogurt, no need for sugar-fruit contamination any more.
Mulberry , java plum, guava, phalsa, jujube, indian gooseberry, elephant apple are also great for diabetics
Excellent great job.thanks for the edification.
You are welcome @Revel136. Thank you for watching. 😄
@@drekberg I watch a lot of your videos. I thank you. When our world of nutrition is turned on it's head by opportunistic food conglomerates (the food nazis) those of us who can sense a great deception need validation by professionals who are in it for the science. Thank you.
Enlightening. You'll get it straight and right here from this man. Thanks to this channel and others like it, I've lost nearly 50 lbs. in the last 11 months, because I now understand what form good nutrition takes. For decades I yo-yo'd up and down with weight because I didn't understand how to lose weight and, more importantly, keep it off. Those days are gone forever. Thanks for your contribution to my success.
And it's eye opening to lose weight while eating fat! I'm enjoying butter with my omelettes stuffed with green veggies and mushrooms and feta. And some bacon. I'm about 6 weeks in, down 13 pounds. Right now I'm doing my second 40 hour fast.
It's incredible.
The info about how the GI is calculated is quite enlightening.

@Eugene_Sucks why do you care? And what does that have anthing to do with weight loss? Enlighten me with your wisdom.
@@phiberoptik232*
I have always found your presentations educational, informative and certainly very helpful. I’ve also trusted your apparently well-researched findings and subsequent nutrition recommendations…which have been (personally) much appreciated. I’m also aware how much time and genuine effort you must be devoting to this great service, on our behalf. But I’ve just seen an old video lecture of yours, where you are using “Applied Kinesiology” methods on a volunteer. I must be honest and say it has come as a bit of a surprise to put it mildly. I thought this muscle strength / diagnostic “tool” had been totally discredited years ago? I’ve always considered you to have a very logical and scientific brain. That is why I will continue to watch your weekly videos. But have I been naive?
Good morning! my weekly dosage of knowledge.
Thank you @alejandroescarcega9288 😄
Good morning Dr. Ekberg another great video. I don't believe in Glycemic index. Although my ALT /( Liver function) is low I don't take fruits except tomato and Avocado. Still adopt low carb diet 20g to 30g & 2MAD. God blessed 🙏
Thank you @balasandarkalieannan300 😄

Thanks, Dr Ekberg. I'm from India, we consume a large quantity of other fruits which are available seasonally...like mangoes, jackfruit, grapes, pineapple and chickoo. Bananas and papaya are available almost throughout the year.
Avocado, raspberry and blueberries are more exotic, mostly imported and priced exorbitantly.
Please make a vdo on the safe quantities of these native fruits we can consume. Thanks.
Coconut is OK
Mango?
I enjoy your vedeo sir.very informative and wonderful style of teaching
Thank you @bakhtawarshah5411 😄
Dr. Sten Ekberg: your scholarly videos on relevant subjects are matchless. Millions of people are benefiting from your this great work. In these comments, my point is: we have been told by all Keto experts from decades that Ketones are better efficient fuel than carb, and ketones are accepted by brain even without barrier but I was reading a book "Unlocking the Keto Code" which is authored by well-known Dr. Steven R. Gundry. I do hope: you too have already read this book. Dr. Steven R. Gundry argues in his book that Ketones are not a good fuel but ketones help us in another ways, which is: ketones decouple Mitochondria, and then some portion of energy is wasted. Instead of converting excessive energy into fat (which is cause of gaining weight), Mitochondria wastes its some portion, and then weight of person goes down. According to him, in this situation, Mitochondria creates more other Mitochondria in cell, and body becomes efficient. Dr. Steven R. Gundry also tends to show in his book that carb are better fuel than Ketones, and nothing is wrong in eating carbs. He says: Important is to keep eating windows tight.
I appreciate, if you can spare some time, and upload your new video which discusses this whole subject in the light of Dr. Steven R. Gundry's book "Unlocking the Keto Code" - thanks
Great video Dr. Ekberg! Hope you have an awesome Friday!
Thank you @angelfriend3710. Same to you 😄
10 years ago I found out the hard way that I’m a type 1 diabetic. Was at work when I had a massive heart attack and went into arrest in the ambulance. Had emergency angioplasty and it was while recovering in hospital that I was given the news. I had all the classic symptoms but was in denial. I was 46 at the time. 10 years on and many thousands of injections later and I’m still soldiering on. Had quite a few hypos but have been able to cope with them. My lowest glucose reading was 1.6 mmol and was surprised I was still conscious. Have severe neuropathy in my legs and feet but my circulation is still good. Chin up to all the newly diagnosed type 1s out there. It’s not the end of the world.
Id like to say even when metabolically healthy,... The impairment has a big effect on life (and the immune system response) from my experience. Great video.
I live in Asia where am i going to get those fruits??? Try talking about different fruits more in line with where people live in the world and what fresh fruit they have access to
I've realized I can't have any criticism of any addict. I too, was and still am a carb/sugar/glucose (?) addict. It too affects my health physically and mentally. Until I changed my diet I was clueless to this. Any little bit of sweet taste makes me want to eat more. Sux, but I definitely had more than my share of anything sweet. Sooooo much better with zero. Absolutely love avocados and olives with no effect.
Always great mechanistic explications, Doc !
Personally, I had to remove all plants from my diet, but I'm used to it now, and it's a joy for my health. Be well! ❤️
Do you have HFI then?
@@williamarmstrong7199 Do you mean hereditary fructose intolerance?
You are sp right in so many ways. However most bread has excess added sugar. Subway "breads" used to make their sandwiches is so high in excess sugar it is officially designated as CAKE in Ireland.
All the breads sold with burgers (for instance) also have excess sugar way in excess of what might be needed to activate yeast. Most main produced breads no longer have any yeast added they use pure enzymes and need no suhar added at all.
thanks Dr Sten ! awesome video and god bless you for your contribution
Just wanted to send a thanks to you sir. The information you're providing is very helpful to our lives and more people need it. I especially enjoy learning about how the body works from your holistic approach. Incredible, smart, and there are many people who can benefit from this knowledge.
@drekberg just want to say thank you for what you are doing. i have learned more about my diabetes and how the diet i eat is slowly killing me by watching your videos than i have from being under the doctors in my country for the last 15 years. god only knows how much damage has been caused to my body in the years that i have been mislead and confused by the advice i have been given by those that are supposed to be helping me. I have really struggled to understand why no matter what i have done using the advice from the doctors, my diabetes has been up and down and totally out of control for years.
i am able to understand far clearer the things i need to change to get my diabetes under control. i have begun eating leafy greens and avocado as part of my staple diet. im eating the naturally fatty meats and have removed bread, pasta and rice almost completely and i am monitoring the difference in my blood glucose to see how much of a difference these changes are making. i can tell you that my average glucose levels have dropped from just over 17mmol to 5.7mmol within a week of making these changes..
I would love to get a diet sheet from you to help me to create meals that are going to help me, but right now i am just trying to do this by watching the videos.
thank you again for your informative videos.
Thanks for all your help and informative videos. Have you done one on foods that we should eat after a stomach virus? The BRAT system is in opposition of your general messaging, so I was wondering if you had good suggestions on what to eat coming off the chucks and runs?
Consuming nightshades 🍅 might be bad for some or most people, including those with diabetes.
Thank you for sharing with us. May be one day you talk about sourdough bread?
Sir, I regularly watch your video and learnt a lot . Thank you so much. I need help, I get itching all over the body, start from feet. I started stopping some allergic foods but still not helping me. If you can help me to find out the solutions. Thanks
As usually great each word. Thank you!!!
❤ watching listening your Channel Dr Sten Erkberg thsnks a lot for thè health information . Love and appreciate .
Probably the best breakdown I have seen on glycemic index
Your infinitely articulate you tube information is spoken in excitingly constructed sentences and expressed in excellent American English. The flow of thoughts shows perfect clarity in explaining the processes which helps the eager listener to very easily absorb your ideas even if he or she is a novice of the medical world. It would be most wonderful if this invaluable information were made available by getting translated into Indian and other world languages e.g Hindi/Marathi and other Asian languages.This would provide access to over a billion humans to the benefits flowing from your original concepts of the practical realities of how their own body really works and easily understand in their mother tongue as to how to successfully optimize its essential functions in a simple way.
My wife is pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. We asked her doctor about going low carb, and they said it would not help her reduce her blood sugars, and that she must take Metmorfin. The doctor said that the reason why her blood sugars would not go down even if she went low carb is due to her placenta producing hormones. What is your take on that, Dr Ekberg?
I need answers to this 😭
@@addyresendiz9016 I eated a lot of fat. Instead of skinny milk I drank fat milk and after every meal I would go for a walk. I made a u-turn while a was pregnant. And zero sugar of cause
I used to consume 3 dates a day for iron and energy, but unfortunately they inject sugar in them so they can be sweet and plump so i stopped eating it as it raised my blood sugar, i sometimes have sml green apple and sprinkle cinnamon on it
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Nice list at the end. I wonder where strawberries would be on the list?
What about green apples? I really like those full green sour type ones.
I feel totally validated. #1 on my list has been avocados, and #2 olives, while I crave a date a few times a month. I've been pondering the value of fermenting fruit juice to remove the sugar and turn it into some sort of alcoholic drink.
You might look again at Problem #3 (10:45) for the discussion about fructose metabolism vs alcohol metabolism.
Yes!!!! On olives and avocado!!!!!
Fermenting fruit juice will only yield about 0.5 % alcohol.
@@captainadams7569 With a hydrometer you can measure the sugar and predict the final percent of alcohol with accuracy. In general fruit juice will ferment to 4-6% alcohol, in a similar range as beer.
@@kaakrepwhatever You may be correct, I drink plenty of Kombucha, which is green tea, black tea, sugar and fruit juice. According to the research I’ve done the alcohol yield is only 0.5 percent.
♥️👍🏻😇🥑😍 Thank you Dr. Ekberg for this video and I know it's supposed to be about diabetes but I wish you would have mentioned that those people who have kidney stone or have a propensity to get them should not eat any avocados, raspberries, or blueberries because of their High OXALATE content. Maybe you can make a different video of which fruits , and food are good to eat if you have kidney stones. Thank you and God bless.♥️👍🏻😇🥑😍
Very Interesting !! Although you don't have Strawberries on this list. I thought they were quite low as well
100% Rock solid information and advice as usual👍
Thank you @plumairalbannach8492 😄
Thank you for this video, Dr. Eckberg! I learned a lot, and love your visual illustrations! On another subject, if you don’t mind, I have read about studies that five dried prunes a day are great for bone density. I have osteoporosis, age 62. I recently got my Dexascan results which show a worsening of scores for my hip. Last one was in 2018. I need to know if in my situation it would be good to eat these daily. I don’t want to go on medication which is what they recommend. I had been on one med raloxifen for a long while, and stopped due to reading about side effects of potential blood clots. I am not on any medication for any health conditions at all, and I don’t want to start now. Just eating right foods and serious weight bearing exercises. Lifting heavier weights gradually. I’ve been doing my research on exercise. I want to give this a try before meds. I’d appreciate your opinion on dried prunes addition. Again, sorry to jump in on the comments with this. I truly value your opinion. Thank you! Hope you’re having a great day!!!
So helpfull. Thank you so much
Merci infiniment docteur bravo Bravo pour cette superbe vidéo
Honey crisp apples are engineered to be ultra sweet. Choose Granny Smith Red Delicious or Gala
God bless you doc
Thx Dr. great video as always. Have a great weekend Dr.Ekberg.
Sweet taste etc - Yesterday I came close to buying a big tub of Ice-cream - Am I ever glad that common sense kicked in as I would have devoured it in short order - very glad indeed.
My question is: do we need fruits at all? This is a scientific question. Basically all fruits do contain fructose.. Which ingredients of these 10 fruits cannot be supplied via other means? Think about it
Is there any relaxation for prediabetics for having other fruits or they have the same restrictions and limitations?
Thank you for great info, but what about oxalates (and other veg problems) esp in avocado, fruit with small seeds that you eat, etc
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you! This has been getting a bit confusing. I eat meat, tomatoes, berries, melons and peaches.
