Hey Dr.. Just curious, what are your thoughts on the Carnivore diet? Thanks much.
Thank You Wildman Samurai. I think it has some advantages, at least for a period of time. I don't personally feel that it would be optimal in the long run, but then again some people do well on it. I might do a video.
@@drekberg That would be awesome.. I've used it for months and then switched back to ketogenic eating.. Both are fantastic for cutting up and energy. Thanks again Dr.😎👊💪
Thanks for all these info. Could you tell me whether 2Mad and low carb diet is safe for pregnant or breastfeeding? Thanks
I am on my 3rd day of OMAD. No pressure for food. Going smoothly. I am just testing my self whether I can do fasting. I used to envy people who could fasting which I am not. Thanks Dr Ekberg for a simple solution for a difficult problem.
Adopted and adapted 2mad as part of my daily living for more than a year now. And my colleagues and friends never failed to tell me "you should not be skipping breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day". Well, I completely agree, I never skip it, I only take it at a later hour - breaking fast at noon time.
It's a western concept. In Asia they mostly just eat when they feel hungry. And then you have Ramadan for Muslim faith. They've always boasted the health benefits.
Well I am Asian and its not true though. They tend to enforce you have to eat 3 meals a day, with breakfast being the most important
I'm 71 and my wife is 68. We've been married nearly 50 years and during that time she has rarely eaten breakfast. I used to keep on to her that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but she wouldn't listen. She believed in eating when she was hungry. Nowadays, I realise she was on the right track and I rarely eat breakfast myself. In our 50 years of marriage she has rarely been ill and always had an amazing amount of energy - she puts me to shame. And she has never had a weight problem. But I have to say, she'll eat any old 'junk food'. Chocolate, biscuits, buns, cake - she has a sweet tooth but everything in moderation. Plus healthy meals as well - we rarely eat processed meals.
I have always been more apt to skip supper, I am a morning eater. Now I feel justified :)
@@brianrowe236 I take care of my 94 year old grandma, and she's been doing (sorta) keto/2mad for over 50 years! She eats at 10am and 5pm, lots of proteins and fats all while limiting carbs (she eats the occasional cookie sometimes though), it amazes me how healthy she is, she comes from a family of 11, all of her family (brothers and sisters), including her 2 daughters, have passed away, she walks with no walkers and she's as healthy as ever, this isn't scientific evidence of anything, but after reading on keto and 2mad, I had an eureka moment when I took a deep look at how my grandma lives, very inspiring in a way and another layer of motivation that I'm doing the right thing
Between Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Eric Berg, we're set.
Don’t forget Dr Fung

I do OMAD on weekdays and 2MAD on weekends - works so well with my lifestyle! I have lost 32kg and now maintaining a healthy weight but I will keep eating this way forever because the health benefits are amazing!
This did not work at ALL for me for losing weight. I had been doing 18:6 for several, several weeks. Then these past 2 weeks did OMAD on M-F then my 2MAD 18:6 on the weekends. I actually GAINED a pound. Going back to my 18:6 for every day because I had been losing weight on that. I think all OMAD does is slow your metabolism down so it's harder to lose weight. I'm convinced that's what happened to me.
@@keithzastrow you definitely have to find out what works for you! Sounds like that's exactly what you're doing. Good luck with your journey!
But do you eat until you are comfortably stuffed like dr Ken Berry advises? If I did that twice a day I'd put on weight. Even with omad I'm a couple of lbs over what I'd like to be. I'm a real slow burner!
@@adelinekeys6582 I eat til I'm full, but not stuffed. I eat pretty healthy. I like to mix things up a bit now, I do a longer fast once a week and an extra day of 2Mad. I think the beauty of the IF lifestyle is you can keep tweaking it until it's working for you and you're getting the results you want. This might not be exactly what someone else is doing.
@@keithzastrowput it down to everyone being different. Definitely works for some people, but also depends on what you’re consuming, one meal a day in low carbs I.e fruits and veg everyone should lose some weight
Started OFAD (one FEAST a day!) 8 months ago. Lost 40 lbs. Waist dropped from 36" to 28". Switched from cows milk to almond milk. Lots of protein, fat, and greens. Minimal carbs. Keep getting asked everywhere I go " How on earth did you manage to reverse aging????" I've inspired dozens of people to start OMAD/2MAD.
Almonds are high in oxylates. I gave up so called suoerfoods that are high in oxylates, lectins last year. Raw goat or cows milk would be better.
If interested, Sally K Norton's book Toxic Superfoods is excellent.
@@caitlinoneill4479 This is really helpful! Thank you!!
Have you reached your weight goals?...Give us an update?
@@jc4evur661 Yes! Maintaining it steadily since I lost it.. I fast almost every day, 18-22 hours.
@@manzur1399 Yo (or Mo) Da Man! 😁
Info starts at 4:30
Omad vs 2 mad starts at 11:00
1) Longer you go Omad, the more insulin sensitivity(better)
2) Omad more autophagy (better).
BUT OMAD HARDER because you can lose too much weight, or have trouble getting all nutrients in in one meal, or get some degestive side effects
Thank you! Saved me so much time.
I thought i was doing OMAD but i guess I was doing 2MAD since i snack after dinner because I get hungry. HMM
Thank you.
I appreciate this!
Michael Roland thank you 🙂
I'm doing omad on purpose since May 2019, dropped 70 lbs so far....
I Reversed cholesterol and triglycerides without medication, also improving blood pressure.
Was your diet ketogenic? Can you please specify your macro split?
@@coolvinay I'd be interested know that too
Well done Chris, what do you drink in the day to avoid to be hungry?
No keto.
I eat seafood, berries and vegetables.
I drink water. Sometimes I have a 3 day water only fast. I fast from midnight to 8pm and an eat window from 8pm to 10pm....🙂
@@coachsanders4036 Thank you for your response
I love OMAD, I've been doing it for five months for weight loss before I plateaued. I stepped up to 2MAD and began losing weight again. I think you really have to listen to your body for what to do next. I feel better than I have ever in my life. I will always find a way to include some sort of fasting in my life. It actually becomes as addictive as eating all the time because you feel so good. Thank you for the fantastic, informational videos. I really believe this knowledge and the application has saved my life and helped me reverse pre-diabetes.
Totally agree. It’s only you yourself that knows your body.
I am 68 years-old, weighed 164 and when I started OMAD and 2MAD Keto one month ago. I lost 11 pounds. I was eating a tremendous amount of carbs and sweets daily. The hardest part of this diet was having to eat more food than I could hold, albeit very high quality food. Amazingly, I've suffered no hunger. At the same time, I had started walking 30 to 45 minutes per day. The results? My short-term memory has returned on steroids as I can think more clearly. I am more energetic than I have been in many years. All my joint and muscle aches and pains have miraculously disappeared. I feel more than 10 years younger, all in one month's time. Do I believe in Dr. Ekberg's advice? Absolutely.
This doctor is amazing .Tks from my heart
Me too.
@bolt
So true! Those doctors don't care about their patient's because they're not family or relatives!
Wow! Inspiring - I want to do this.
I'm 25 and I've been doing OMAD for a month and have lost 31 pounds already. I had 203 pounds, now 173. I'm 5' 11". I feel great. Everybody says I look like a child and I feel glad because of that. I love OMAD. I HAVE MORE ENERGY THAN EVER.
Time u eat?
I get 2mad on omad.
Thank you Von Beer. LOL. 😂I can't believe I missed that when making the video.
😃 don't go mad please. But 2MAD works well too..
So funny. 🤣🤣🤣
Love this comment. 🤣
😂 😂 😂 It's all madness
I HAVE LOST 320 POUNDS ! but Oh my goodness.....I am amazed because I have been doing this omad for some time now but did not know it was a ' thing' .....I started dieting and just ended up eating once a day because I liked it.....one big meal ( but all healthful food) not more than 1200 calories (& even as low as 1000 ) but the quantity of food was massive and thats what I liked about it. I can't believe that what I've been doing has other health benefits. Well, I'm here to say........it works well. I went from an even 450 to 130
Duration ? In how many months/year?
That’s excellent!
Wow, all that loss w/out surgery?
Awesome 🤩
Astonishing story
For those people who begin to plateau and stop losing weight, there is a very easy solution. Start exercising slowly and then when you feel comfortable start doing high intensity training. This combined with fasting will destroy fat.
Thanks i will apply that . Appreciate your experience .
Additionally, you're probably just downregulating metabolism from chronic calorie restriction.
Eat at a surplus for like 2-3 days and then go back and it usually gets fixed
Thank you for the advice for those of us who have plateaued in our weight loss. I eat mostly a ketogenic diet( 20g to 30g carbs per day when eating) although sometimes its just low carb (100g to 150g carbs per day when eating). I must fast at least 3 days if not 5 days to drop a few pounds. I am postmenopausal and gain weight fasting less than 3 days per week. I have 30 pounds to lose.
@@OatmealTheCrazy in short we have to play with our body right? By not doing the same things straight?
@@OatmealTheCrazy in other words, weekend are cheat days?
💯ABSOLUTELY❗ I been doing OMAD with minimize carb intake since last November when I weighed (348 pounds) and OMAD really worked for me I lost about 75 pounds, I'm now (275 pounds) today and this by only OMAD without NO exercise. And I'm still continuing losing weight today! I had serious breathing problems and sleep apnea problems that extremely improved and my health is still improving. OMAD changed my life when my obesity seem impossible to undo. But it's definitely improving and I will make my goal to be under 200 pounds
Did you do HIIT workouts during fasting?
How u doing now
That's great!
Good for you. Keep up the good work.
@@Minickzky98 not much exercise, I did very little walking at times but wasn't that consistent
Currently, I am mixing OMAD with 2MAD. Usually, I do OMAD Monday to Friday, and then on the weekends, I do two meals beginning around noon. And never do I eat at bedtime.
That is great patrick h keep it up.
Me too. Its great!
That's a great idea. I'm going to try your schedule! 😊
Same here. But I mix in 48 hour fasts every once in awhile. Depends on my mood, lol.
I do the contrary/other way around because my job is physically demanding so I can't go to sleep starving at the end of the day. But the weekend I don't feel the need to eat 2 meals let alone even 1 I could pass. I'm afraid if I fast for more than 2 days I eat stupidly on Monday morning before going to work. Thanks for the topic Doctor!
That's how my grandfather hit the 100 years mark!He kept saying that.He just had 1 or 2 meals a day for his entire life.
for the sake of consistency it should be called 0mad; 1mad; 2mad and way2mad
Yesterday I fasted for 48 hours, a new record for me. All I had was water, and I felt great.
You mean day before yesterday lol
Great work tho👍🏻
go for 30 days fast and you will feel like your are floating in clouds....I am on my 8th days now....did 21 days in December...
@@SiddikaKobir water only fast?
I'm Watching Yew, do you take vitamins and electrolytes then? When?
@@lindabanda5960 yes water only...
I’ve been OMAD for 18 months now. I love it and I have no desire to change! I got to my goal weight and now am effortlessly maintaining. I love sitting down and having a huge feast - it feels so much more natural than being hungry trying to limit calories and eating stuff I don’t like that much anyway. I feel totally freed from dieting. Thanks for the info!
Do you do keto?
@@trishna9279 No. I did for a while, but then it didn't seem necessary to maintain the weight I wanted. I don't eat a massive amount of carbs, but they're still on the menu.
I agree completely other ways I tried I was always hungry with minimal results
How many calories can you eat in 1 seating? Do you eat lunch or dinner?
@@lucyc1077 it's different all together you eat when your hungry find your flow and slowly taper it down for your specific needs. I eat super late I eat whatever I want until I'm full full. It works for me as maintaining weight and energy. No cravings. But everyone is different you wont know until you try a few different things
My initial goal to begin keto, 3 years ago, was to lower my A1c. At the time, I was 240lbs. (61, F). I didn't read about fat adaption until after about 2 weeks when I noticed I didn't feel hunger. I still WANTED to eat, mentally wanted food, but wasn't hungry. After 6 mos. I learned a lot about being fat adapted and everything made sense. God bless it. Effortlessly, losing weight, going from 240lbs for more than 20 years (having gone up to 292 at several times) and landing at 150lbs with an A1c of 5.2 (from 8.3).
Now 3 days OMAD, a couple of other 2MAD, with fasting weekly and longer monthly.
Go keto!!!!
Good job!
Ive been on OMAD for 5 years, Mon to Fri and 2MAD Sat Sun. Once you are there and doing it, it just becomes the norm. It’s definitely a lifestyle. I have way more time than others, regaining at least 2 hours a day from jot eating breakfast and lunch. I have very consistent energy too.
On OMAD I was too hungry before the meal and then too bloated after the meal. I hated it. 2MAD is perfect for me. Less hunger before and no bloating after the meals because they are smaller.
Thank you kanenas. Good for you. A lot of people have similar issues. BP coffee instead of the first meal and digestive enzymes for the second can help, but if 2mad works, just do that.
We all slow down on the production of our ability to make our own HCL for digesting proteins, as we age! Be certain to take a Betaine HCL supplement with the second or third bite of a meal! Along with digestive ENZYMES, as Dr E suggested, should help your body digest the protein the way you did when younger and should! No more bloating! To assist your body this way, everyone should be talking a Multi Vitamin Mineral supplement, to GIVE your body what you’re not getting from our depleted food sources of today’s food! It will also allow your body to get the needed “precursors’ to help you to start making your own HCL to make your digestion better, more efficient and less uncomfortable!
@@drekberg What about BP coffee without the coffee? Just, say, 1 TBSP of MCT oil and 1 TBSP butter... or even just 2 TBSP grass fed butter? (I never got into coffee -- don't like the stuff.) Thanks.
I found I only bloat when consuming mostly a processed food.
How much weight did u lose using 2mad
I feel so blessed to have your channel. Finally we can listen to someone who is smart, honest and not profiting from people ailments and diseases.
Dr Ken Berry is the same ☺
There is nothing wrong with doctor’s promoting their products as long they don’t over do it. Everyone has to pay bills.
@@label1877 It really depends if it's a legitimate benefit rather than taking advantage of gullible desperate people. Snake oil sales people still exist
Halleluja !
99 Sparkles exactly and there is a plethora of them on UA-cam that profit under the guise of being your friend or trying to help but they have a very distinct agenda.
I began OMAD 2 weeks ago. I am overweight with T2 diabetes and am finding it easy to accomplish. I find that I am not often hungry, but when I am, I have tea or broth. I don't have to worry about preparing 3 healthy meals a day and, as I am not a fan of cooking, having to prepare only 1 meal a day is a definite plus. I have lost 15 lbs in my first 2 weeks and I feel so much better already. I have a long way to go, but I feel that this plan of eating will be sustainable for me.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for explaining everything so nicely and thoroughly! It makes so much sense now. God Bless You!
I do 20/4 Monday to Friday and 16/8 on weekends. I feel great, loosing weight gradually and improving health. Another great video doctor. Thanks 🙏💙
Dear Dr I AM 61 year old woman from India and my weight is 72 kg. Iam vegetarian. So far I am not able to reduce weight. Can I do intermittent fasting to lose weight. Pl suggest diet plan
Great idea
I feel great 16 8 never hungry fell worse when i eat and diarhea briefly after the meal Dr Ek berg please advise
Almost same here... I do 23:1 Monday through Friday.. Sometimes even Saturday... And on Sundays I do 18:6...and I feel greatttt!!!!!
Yes I pretty much do this as well. I really enjoy food and it is a great pleasure in life so too much restriction isn't good.
OMAD is the easiest way to eat I’ve ever experienced. I’m never hungry, I’m losing weight and I enjoy preparing one wonderful meal for myself. OMAD makes me very mindful instead of snacking my way through the day or throwing any old thing together and calling it a meal. I feast like royalty!
What hour you eat?
Same on my end. Appreciation & taste of meal is exponentially higher for me. It means much more. Never going back...
Bastini Bast I sit down to dinner between 4:00 and 5:00. I try not be be regimented about it.
How long did it take you to get to that point? I'm 60 lbs overweight. I can make it between 12:00 and 2:00 then something takes over and I eat. And not just once or twice.
Christina Maples I had to be very disciplined for about three days before my hunger went away. The trick for me was keeping my carbs to under. 20 TOTAL grams for the entire day, PLUS eating fatty foods at my meal until I felt completely satisfied. At first it was a lot of calories. But as my appetite went away, I’ve eaten much less. Wishing you success.
Thank you kindly for your time and attention on this extremely important information!!!
Thanks Dr. Ekberg for posting your videos. I'm a 58 year old with no health issues and I regularly exercise, yet I'm finding lots of great points I can pick up on. Your pace and delivery style are just right - and I do love a good whiteboard... Since I found your channel I'm binge watching your videos - probably one of the few times that binging is healthy.
I started OMAD with Keto in October to address T2D diagnosis. This way of eating effectively helped to lower my blood sugar from 500’s to 80-100 range in 3 months. My A1c went from 14.5 to 5.6 and I’m actually really comfortable with one meal a day. It definitely works!
Congratulations
No peels?
March 3rd will be my 1 year anniversary of low carb and IF. I had to work up to it, but now I do OMAD M-F and 16:8 on the weekend. Down 170 with about 50 to go!
If you’re watching these videos and thinking about starting tomorrow, just start right now. It won’t always be perfect, but a year from now you’ll wish you started today!
lizziesf87
Great encouragement! More and more of us succeeding will help the word spread! 😉
Long live Dr Egberg!!!
Starting my journey to insulin sensitivity and a healthier lifestyle!!
I started doing IF 3 years ago.I began with 16/8 and then 18/6 which is my favourite. Once I had done several 20/4 I tried my first OMAD and I now do OMAD for 7 days once a month throughout the year. Once you are fat-adapted it is easy to do OMAD. I have done a lot of 48 hour fasts and once a year I do a 5 day fast. I can't recommend IF ,OMAD, etc highly enough. And it all started when i first watched one of Sten's videos.. The best health/wellness channel on YT !!
OMAD is my way of life now. I actually enjoy my meals more now.
@MiHiHemi hello. Curious, when you do omad, how much do you eat and how long do you eat? Timewise. Thanks
@@LordStanley94 eat all your food in one hour, also you eat till satisfaction, you'll be satisfied anyway because fitting all the basic ingredient in your food will make your plate full. Eat your veggies first then your main course because the main course will make you full and you might not be able to finish your veggies
@@chisomodimmegwa3479 thank you Chisom. If you don't mind, what do you eat. At the monent (and for some time now, I am at 21 or 22/ 2. What time do you usually eat. I eat anywhere between 3-5 pm or 4- 6 or 630
So true! I take my time too like I’m making a mukbang video lol ha
I also try that omad but i feel so much hungry and im very sensitive if someone talking to me and i hate that way😔😔😔
Raised on 3 meals a day. I’m a big guy and used to FEEL like I was going to die if I didn’t. After going KETO, I started eating less and less due to reduced appetite. Eventually, I found that all I needed was one meal a day and SOME days.... I feel as if I could skip eating altogether. Crazy to think that I, such a big guy, could be content with one meal a day. I lost 65lbs without any exercise at all, (too busy working). I drive for a living, and thus, I’m not as active as I’d like to be... so KETO together with Intermittent Fasting was the easiest way I’ve ever found, to drop a lot of weight.
Thank you for sharing your success. May I ask how many calories during your meal?
What a top notch video this is !!! Superbly explained in easy and understandable steps that put fasting into perspective and gives us the expertise to tackle eating in a sensible, healthy way. Well done Dr. !!!!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on health 💯
Great video. I’ve seen too many similar presentations to remember and this is probably the best for those seeking clarity and information.
Dear Dr, Ekberg I do OMAD in the last 4 month and will continue so far I lost 45 lbs. OMAD also helped me stop smoking. Thank you sir.
How does it work? I'm trying to stop smoking.

Very simple informative breakdown. Thank you!!
OMAD for work/school days, 2MAD on the weekends.
I love this
My best friend, pre-diabetic, just asked me yesterday why this works and how to get started. Sending a link to this excellent, and easy to understand, presentation right now. Thank you 😊💖
I’m so grateful to you. Thanks for you accurate and clear information. You are so great!
I love the way you explain the subject
Thanks for your effort and Mission
You present the information in a organize way and go true it step by step
Seems to me this is one of Sten's best: Emphasis on health over weight loss; huge time savings with OMAD (as well as costs); and the fact that it's actually quite easy to do. (No suffering, folks.) Benefits in 24 hrs--absolutely true--noticeable difference in very few days...plus OMAD is a major contribution to our wasteful habits and over-taxed planet. Try it, try it--you'll only be glad,
Depends on the menstrual cycle. Don't fast when bleeding. Please.
Emma 2mad is where it’s at girl.
@@skyejacques would you like to elaborate or point me to more info? i need more female specific information on this
@@skyejacques It's harder to do OMAD, but 2MAD is fine during the menstrual cycle. You won't lose due to bloating, which feels frustrating. Drinking electrolyte water will help. It is mainly the loss of salt and water that makes it more difficult I think. Plus, my daughter found it harder to do her workouts (she felt dizzy--maybe dehydrated?) but still could take walks. She said if felt like the keto flu again. We treated it the same way. LOTS of water and salts. The weight fell off after she finished her cycle. She was doing OMAD. 2MAD wasn't a problem.
You do feel the difference within a week of adapting the one meal a day lifestyle I feel so lighter and more refreshed
This is the most useful channel on UA-cam when it come to health benefits! Thanks a lot Dr. Sten Ekberg! You are a real gem!
Been keto for ten weeks and omad for a week. 42lbs lighter, mental health issues are on the mend and back at the gym. Another 28lbs and I’ll be where I want to be. Thank you for all the invaluable help and advice.
One of my favorite videos that you have made. Glad I found your Channel
Thank you very much Dr Sten Ekberg, i am here to give my testimonial. i passed through lots of your teachings about weight loss and finally i decided to go for 2 meals a day for one week and then i switched to OMAD for another 3 weeks. i lost 5.3kg about 12lbs in only one month. i dropped from 97.3kg to 92kg. i combine OMAD with evening walking exercice. Thank you very much for your teachings, your saving many lives of people around the globe.
Update?
I am already following OMAD /2MAD alternatively. Thanks 🙏 for all your previous videos. They helped me tremendously. With ❤️from🇮🇳🇴🇲
Thanks Doc. After 20yrs of study this may well be the most practical and to myself, influential explanation I have seen. This is the sort of decision based info the world needs. Thank U. I would love to see a video on 7day water fast with aggressive supplementation. I have a radical protocol I'm going to try out... experimentation time!!!
This is an awesome video! This is the video that needs to be shared when you want to explain the benefits of fasting/OMAD/2MAD. It has it all!! Thanks Doc Ekberg!
Finally some one talks about two meals a day!!! Am so grateful... Thanks doc
Brilliant ! I didn't know the half of this. Thankyou !
I do appreciate the depth of explanation the Dr. Sten provides, as well as his hair style.
I can hear your message much more than others who post on these topics, thank you!!
Great talk. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for 10 years. But Omad for only about a year. It was hard in the beginning, but got used to it after about 2-3 weeks. Now I do omad Monday through Thursday and 2mad Friday through Sunday. I’m feeling fantastic.
How many ounces of protein do you eat for your OMAD??
@@debrasankofag5506 I really don’t count my calories during my one meal. I just eat when I’m full. I restrict eating between 6 and 8 pm. It’s the best and only meal of the day.
Do you eat low or regular amounts of carbs?
@@rodrigobelfort280 I try to eat low carb. Mainly vegetables as my carbs. But with Omad you can be flexible since you’ll have calorie deficits most days.
I like your system. I’m trying for Omad. every day but it’s too difficult.
Excellent explanation of the various options! Thank you! I listen to my body, rather than having hard-and-fast rules, so eating between noon and six works well for me. I might try OMAD when the weather warms up; winter seems difficult.
I just want to thank you for all your efforts and caring heart. You are a Blessing for my wife and I. We will be sharing your wisdom with all our loved ones. 3 weeks now I am Omad for 3 days now no issues. The wife on 2mad. In 3 weeks time I have lost 10lbs, she as lost 6lbs and we feel Great! I use to carry a little seat when I walked for a period of time that unfolded to take a rest and for pain in my back, last week I walked all day (10hrs) with small breaks without my seat (which I forgot) at the San Diego Zoo and still going strong!
Thank you and God Bless you Sir.
I have been using the OMAD from the offset, and done 2 x 48 hours and 1 x 72 hours over 3 weeks and 4 days. Watched many of your videos and followed your advice as best I can. And also your exercise ideas too! I wanted you to know that I have lost 9kg, improved my muscle definition, and have so much more energy than in many years. I’m 56 years of age, and my skin has improved immensely. In less than a month! Incredible! Thank you so much. 🙏. I was doubtful, but it’s incredible how quickly my body adapted. I have another 11kg to go….! 🙌👌😀
Clear explanation. Thank you. Been doing alternative day fasting and now switched to five day fast (on day three.) It is so true that once you are fat adapted, and with some fasting practice, it really does get easier.
It's so hard to imagine how someone would give you a dislike.. You always answer all the questions in my head with your great videos
hind Alfalahi If you see any ‘dislike’ it’s probably from Jillian Michaels.
@@KeepingOnTheWatch 😂🤣😁
It's often that those people just don't want certain videos to show up in their recommendations, and clicking the dislike feature will stop them showing up.
You probably disliked the video yourself , this is just your alibi
People who check “ Dislike” are hired goons from the Big Carb Factories like Kellogg’s and Quaker Oats and Pepperidge Farms, etc.👎
As always great information, thank you for an excelent job!
Thanks Doc! Longevity to you! Cheers!☺ from PH
probably one of the best videos I have seen regarding weight loss and how to keep weight off. Big thanks doc
I feel so blessed and grateful for the knowledge I can get from such wonderful educators as Dr. Ekberg! If I'd been taught how my body really works and what it actually is as a kid I wouldn't have developed a massive eating disorder that affected my life enormously! They should teach this at schools so that children know how their bodies work and prevent all kinds of health issues in their future!!!
Such an informative video and cuts through all the noise on the internet about omad and 2mad. Thank you Dr Sten 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and know how with us.
Usually fast for 16+ and then eat two meals within 4 hour period, no meals after that just water. It works.
Thank you Moe X. That's close to OMAD
That's basically a 20/4 fast :)
2 meals in a 4 hour period is 20 hours of fasting lol so yeah 16+4
That’s true it’s more like 20hrs or OMAD but somehow I feel full and the psychological hunger disappears when you eat two meals in a shorter period. Also, don’t feel hungry afterwards and keep in mind dinner is off the table as it’s consumed earlier than usual.
I'm curious, are you hungry at your secound meal? I struggle with that a lot. Because on one hand you should not eat when you are not hungry, but I should get a certain amount of food in. And if I do that I'm far from hungry at the time for dinner - this concept still puzzles me.
I find OMAD pretty easy. I find it easier if I eat around 5pm or 6pm for about an hour because I am still full when I go to bed and not hungry when I wake up. I then start to feel a bit hungry around 12pm to 3pm but not enough for me wanting to eat. The mild hunger then normally goes away and by 5pm or 6pm comes around I am ready for a feast but no hunger pangs
Thank you for your comment. I can totally relate. I’ve naturally fell into eating around 5-6 pm. Feeling great. And yes a few hunger signals about 2-3pm. I’m glad to hear the similarities.
I have to say, that naturally I also moved to 5-6 pm when I come home from work. Some hunger cravings I overcome usually with coffe.
Same here
Same here. 6pm works best for me
This is my eating time pattern daily. I think it's the best time for us (who's taking OMAD diet) to eat because it makes our sleep better without insomnia and it feels good when waking up. Hunger strikes at 2pm onwards but not that bad, I just drink water till 6pm and *tadaaa* it's the best time of the day 😁😁
I am happy that I found this channel. I am 55 years old, 5 feet 5 inches and I weigh 60kg. Doing OMAD has helped me to reverse prediabetes.
Thanks so much for your teaching Dr Ekberg.. you inspired me a lot.. I just started fasting and I am getting better results. I feel good, energetic and losing weight. God bless you.. I also thank you for letting us and the community in general know about the harmful foods that the businesses sell to us without us knowing the long consequences that may arise after eating those food. Keep your good job.
So true... I find myself mentally hungry after dinner, but I'm completely fine (not hungry) at all in the morning.
Thanks Dr. sten. I never imagined myself on 2 meals a day for fear of being hungry. Since I started on it all the cravings are gone. On my second week and have lost 4kgs and mental alertness throughout the day is amazing.
Wow, great teaching, you have changed my life. Understanding the mechanism will produce lasting change for me, thank you. I am 49, growing some belly fat, bodily fat, feeling lethargic and unmotivated and finding it hard to resist chocolate. Now that I understand insulin resistance in its entirety I will change my eating habits forever. It starts with sugar. It starts with intermittent fasting. It starts with 2mad/Omad. It starts with HIIT and other recreational exercise. I am on the path.
Thanks for sharing Dr Eckberg ❤👍, i am doing alternate OMAD and 2MAD during the weekend and 3 meals on Sunday with family...💕
The first 12 hours is the hardest..
The next 12 hour is easier.
once past 24 hours body do not crave for carb anymore
You're absolutely correct
True. I can fast longer than 24hrs now
Yes. I can fast 48 hours easily.
I once fasted for five days. The first two days for me was dreadful but on the third day I woke up with more energy I've ever had in my life. Nothing like being in deep ketosis and running on your body fat for fuel.
I prefer two meals to one if one is doing this long-term.
My favourite doctor. He saved my life, plus when someone starts addressing you by calling you a health champion, how could you not just sit your toosh down and listen?
Hey Doc, just wanted to throw a big "thank you" out there for all the videos you put up
Ran across intermittent fasting on a machinery channel, and found it pretty easy since I was recouperating from a motorcycle accident (making food was a hassle...)
Quit using artificial sweeteners and cut back carbs about the same time, and lost 50 lbs without any dramas
Ran across your channel and found I was doing a bunch of what you recommend. And whaddya know - seems to work!
No longer get so weak and shaky if I'm not stuffing food in my face every 2 hours.
Just did a 36 hour fast last week, gonna try adding that into the mix once every couple weeks or so
Now, taking your advice about seed oils and phasing those out...
Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Recently started IF slowly transitioned from 16-8 to 18-6 to 20-4 to OMAD, but weight loss was still slow. Thanks for explaining, I’m going implement ADF for faster transition to weight loss and health 🤩
I am T2D, I drink coffee in the morning and 2MAD eating lunch between 11:30-1:00 as allowed with work schedule. I eat my dinner before 7 pm. So far it has been working and my blood sugar has dropped to 70-95!!! One of my last readings before doing this was 300! This Change alone is amazing! Also have NAFL, hoping liver enzymes drop too. And I have lost 20 lbs so far as well. Thanks for all your info!!!
So perfectly explained-thank you!!!
My last blood test I came in at over 620 for triglycerides ... really high. My overall cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels were good, but because of the triglycerides, I've been placed on 60mg Atorvastatin Calcium per day. Well, after doing some research, that number was very alarming for me, so I'm doing something about it. Cutting way back on alcohol and carbs, and now I'm intermittent fasting! Your videos not only make sense to me, but you have actually provided me with a roadmap to better health ... and I couldn't be more excited and thankful!!! Can't wait for my next bloodwork ... THANK YOU!!!
Really loving the alternating days of 2MAD/OMAD- seems to really agree with me. So many wasted years feeling horrible- wish I had known all this years ago but better late than never and definitely never too late to feel great. Thanks for sharing your time and wisdom!
Been doing 2mad for a year, this winter I can't recall even having a sniffle
Sir, you are amazing. You give so much clarity.
I love your lectures, Dr. Ekberg. A lot of things are becoming much clearer. I do OMAD a lot of the time, and it's perfectly fine for me. Thank you for doing what you do..
Keto OMAD for 5 years now. Best health decision I ever made...
So weird to me how ppl talk about weight loss but never talk about female menstruation. This is a huge factor in weight loss or lack of and a big part of hunger or decrease in hunger. I don’t stress when I plateau around ovulation or before my period because I track my bodies differences. I also know a few days after ovulation I will lose that water weight, but during I will hold onto it. Ovulation also brings on serious hunger for me so I really need to be disciplined.Hormones play a huge role in weight loss especially for females and nobody talks about this. Track your cycle because this will help rationalize your bodies weight loss and you’ll know the best weeks to work out harder and when to relax
Very interesting point of view, but all bodies are different. I don't plateau or gain during ovulation neither do I feel more hunger. I only gain about 1 pound of water weight a day before my period and it's instantly gone a day after. I feel no cravings or moodswings during my period either. Maybe people aren't talking about it because it's not a common problem? I don't know
I've been told to not fast when bleeding. I have PMDD so yes
Check out Dr.Mindy Pelz. She talks about it, and how it affects the hormones, and what fasting protocols to follow.
Exactly. I get super bloated and hunger cravings
I get hungry too during.ovulation. Sometimes i binge. I shld probably go for 2mad instead of omad during this time. Thanks for sharing
Excellent! Extremely informative.
THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT AND VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO..I'VE LEARNED ALOT FROM IT AND FROM YOU AS WELL ! THANKS SO MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOU. 😊
I decided to do the hard core route omad and its a week today. I have experienced all sorts of side effects from heart burn,running stomach, hunger pangs, I think even high pulse. My body is fighting me but the benefits are too greater to miss out. Everyday I feel stronger and less hungry. Never thought this was possible. Thank you.
Life changing stuff! Thank you Sten. I started on OMAD before watching this and now I have more certainty about my goals. I've been on it about 5 days and I'm already feeling so much better. Blood pressure is improving, heart is getting healthier and just overall health improvement. I'll stay on it until I reach my target :)
My blood pressure increased!
Blood pressure increased.
Your videos are so interesting and factual and an oasis for good health!
The first time I've really understood the principle. Thanks a million.
Thanks for your lessons. You speak so clearly that I don't miss a word, being Italian.
Ma juseppe, hai cominciato a digiunare minkia
Frequent eating means your insulin stays higher all day, even with Keto foods. Insulin is a 👉FAT👈 producing hormone.
Insulin is a fat storage hormone...
Thank you Dr Ekberg, you have helped me immensely! I started with 2mad and now have worked my way to omad and find it very easy to do. Insulin resistant I'm sure, but menopause threw me over the edge. Weight loss seems slow, but sticking to it.
