Could you make a Keto day meal with lets say. Brocolli, some olive oil, Gras fed, Beef and then some pecans and macadima for extra fat. Could this be a meal
Remember, depending on your size you will lose water mostly. After that I now lose about 3-5 pounds per week consistently. Do not get demotivated if you slow down!!! Best of luck!
Started intermittent fasting 5 days ago. I haven't weighed myself at all yet, but the t-shirt I put on today fits me better than the last time I wore it.
I started 16/8 daily IF about a month ago (loving it!!) I’ve lost a few pounds according to the scale, but WOW do my clothes fit looser. Crazy Pounds lost approximately 6-10 Glucose levels normalizing (from day 1 of the start of fasting) Average resting heart rate down to 72 from 84 I feel MUCH better (physically and mentally) starting to sleep better. I bounce on my Cellerciser 3-5 times a week for 20-30 minutes Can’t recommend IF highly enough 🌿 I’ve found the LIFE IF app (free) to be very helpful I’m 57, female, with an aim to turn around a recent diabetes diagnosis. Med- free is my goal. Also to turn around a long-time autoimmune dysfunction ✅
I just started so far I can only do 18 hours, my goal this week is to reach 20 hours. I use to do this in my 20’s 3 days eat only apples…now pushing 60. Good luck Cheers 🇨🇦
Yeeesss! I was just saying this the other night. On days that I am able to start fasting at around 7pm.. I can push through the morning and get to about 1:30-2pm before I eat my first meal...but on days I had to eat a bit later and don't stop eating until 9pm, I am ready to eat by about 9AM!!! 😩
It is the valley of blood glucose caused by the insulin spike, so simple and at the same time so rare that it is not known... always happen to me but in afternoon nap after having a big lunch...
I started fasting last jan. 2024. My initial weight was 113kg, now my dry weight is 98-99kg every morning. Very knowledgeble YT channel. Thank you Dr. Ekberg. ❤
بسیار ممنون از اطلاعاتی که دادید. مدتیه که روزه داری متناوب رو انجام میدم و حدود ۱۵ کیلو وزن کم کردم. مشکلاتی داشتم که دیدن این ویدئو برام حل کرد. سپاس 🙏
I have been on keto for almost 3 months and have lost 30lbs. I am aiming to lose another 56lbs. Watching this video tells me that I have made a mistake along the way in the sense that I have been losing or not reaching autophagy due to my protein intake. I have been on OMAD for roughly 4 weeks eating 6pm each day fasting 24 hours. My fat intake is pretty high and has not had any problems with hunger in between meals. I now realize that I will need to lower my protein intake to reach better autophagy so that my body eats a higher level of its own fat. Dr. Ekberg. Thank you for taking the time to educate us, mear mortals.
Apparently I too need to reduce the protein intake on IF. So far I have done 24 hrs even 30 hrs but have not busted thru that as yet maybe if I can cut the protein I could .
How I love this man. Happy to say my hubby decided to join my healthy lifestyle 3days ago... He's doing amazing. I for 1 was very happy to discover you. I have lost a little more than 20kgs in just 7months and no saggy skin. I take your advices to heart
On long fasts I drink mct oil in coffee. If I really feel a need to eat I'll eat a tin of sardines in ev olive oil. Those little fish fill you up nicely.
Thanks for the video. I have proved the truth of it. I am now experiencing the amazing result of intermitent fasting for more than one month. My blood glucose level returns to normal level (below 100 mg/dL, and my body weight is reduced from 80 kg to 77 kg. Praise the Lord!
I started this last june 29th ive been going 24 hrs and have taken no insuslin nor metformin my glucose levels are better than when taking meds. 100- 140). Working hard to come down more. Absolutely love it. Thank you doctor God bless!!
Its crazy how information like this is so controversal to many people. I have lived like this (fasting avoiding carbs ) and felt very much alive. However when i used to eat several times a day i would be tired suffer from chronic tiredness unable to focus and be more negative. Thank you for life saving information
It's controversial because it is unhealthy for most people to cut food groups or specific macronutrients out of their diet entirely. Everything in moderation. Ya know, a well-balanced diet? People should still eat carbs, they should just eat them in moderation and favor unprocessed whole grains over refined sugars and flours.
I can eat a bowl of green salad at lunch topped with nuts, avocado and olive oil as dressing. I feel really full but not sleepy after eating. My fullness lasts for 18 to 20 hours, feel great, no lethargic feeling, stable energy, no cravings. I will never go back to eating crappy foods again. I can do IF for long hours and break my fast with nutritious foods high in essential fats. It's easy to remove addiction to toxic foods if one will educate himself first. That way, we can change our perspective of eating. Fasting and keto diet is not a fad. It's a healthy lifestyle.
Is eating chicken considered toxic according to you? Or whole oatmeal with veggies, fruits,liver, pork, cheese ,eggs ect... Your diet is very insufficient for a daily intense and fasted workout so you have a poor lifestyle
@@arnaudjean1159 Educate yourself my friend 😉 If you think that this way of eating is "insufficient for a daily intense and fasted workout" you're going to hate Dr Shawn Baker 😂 He's over 50, eats nothing but meat and does workouts every single day that would put guys in their 30's to shame. Holder of several age records he has lifted over 700 pounds on a zero carb lifestyle 😎 Dr Ekberg knows his stuff and would 100% trust both of them over and above a random UA-cam comment. Please don't take people at their word, look the information up and see the evidence with your own eyes.
Dr Ekberg, thanks for the great video. In my language,kannada, We have distilled wisdom from generations which is encapsulated in a adage or proverb which roughly translated to as- One who eats once a day is a 'Yogi' (A master) , twice a day is a person who is enjoying (bhogi) and thrice a day is a rogi (patient)
The easiest thing to do is to intermittent fast, it requires...nothing, but not eating. The difficulty lies in food choices once it is our time to eat. As a result, with I.F. we learn to appreciate food in a new way.
@@drekberg UNFORTUNATELY I can't eat Avacodo's anymore. They do a number on my stomach. I had no problem with them in the 80's. Love guacamole.. ?? I was doing a lot of fasting and was nice and thin. But I ate carbs. At night I'd have protein. Chicken or turkey. And my aches and pains subsided. I have some sort of chronic fatigue\ pain. I was diagnosed in 70's with D.M earlier reactive hypoglycemia. But over last 15 or more years my blood sugar was testing beautifully for the most part. The last 3 years or so are something different. And now I'm always hungry. Eating. I hate it. But I'm home even more due to COVID AND. OTHER PERSONAL AND MEDICAL ISSUES. NOW IM GOING TO TRY TAKING CHROMIUM Again. ITS NOT IN MY MULTI VIT. ANYMORE . I HATE. EATING ALOT. ESPECIALLY HATE WEIGHT GAIN.. OR JUST GETTING BIGGER. I LIKE BEING SLIM. BUT MUSCULAR.. IM GOING THROUGH CHANGES NOW. W PAIN ETC. BUT THANK GOD I HAVE FOOD. I Actually like fasting.. Was doing quite a bit of it. But not 24 hrs. At least not intentionally.
Thank you very much Dr Ekberg . I started OMAD since July 15 2020 . Lost 51 pounds and I need to lose more but am not worried keto and intermittent fasting became a habit for me . I feel so much energy and I do my workout 3 times a week and I walk almost every day ...
Love this. I’ve gone down two sizes in a matter of weeks; no hunger but eating nutritious, healthy meals - one solid one per day. My way of intermittent fasting is to postpone meals so I don’t eat more than the one full meal. I do have a “snack” now and then, with a salad or something fermented like pickles or green olives stuffed with garlic from TJ’s or a handful of walnuts. Also, every day I drink a cup of coffee with cacao powder for a mocha flavor (with cream and stevia) and a small square of dark sugar free dark chocolate also from TJ’s. Also I only eat fish and eggs as animal protein. I eat raspberries with plain yogurt and a tbspn of peanut butter as a small meal. Just aware of not eating as much as I did, and no-to-low carbs. Lots of water and green or hibiscus tea.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for about two months, I tried 16-8, 18-6, 20-4, and ADF. I have only lost 7kg. My weight is pretty much like a yo-yo. I did see a more consistent drop this week when I broke my fast with avocado. Am I doing something wrong?
@@huskitty1 once a week to a 1 or 2 day fast and one meal a day. Example i made a wok full of 1kg lean lamb mince,2 cougettes,1 egg plant,1 red onion,500g chestnut mushrooms,half garlic bulb,3 bell peppers,1 tin chopped tomatoes and chilli con carni powder mix 50g and extra water and 125g edamae beans. It's enough foid for 4/5 days. 1 large bowl is very filling. I also did a 3 week fast at the start. The first 6kg/1 stone, 50% is loss of water. Get some electrolite powder when water fasting.get fizzy water. I do cheat with 20ml of elderflower codial per 500ml water but have since quit that of water fasting days. Oh and walking.every other day walk 2 hours.
I came across Dr Ekberg's video on intermittent fasting two weeks ago and tried a 14 hour fast with no problem. So then tried the 16,18,20 and 23 fasts with no problem. I have since settled down to one meal a day and have zero pangs of hunger. Along with this is zero feeling of tiredness and I am not missing food or snacking at all. Blood sugar has decreased dramatically and so has my resting heart rate. Intermittent fasting is absolutely brilliant. Thanks Dr Ekberg for your well researched and explained videos.
I start this in late May and it's now the end of September, I've loss 27.6 lbs so far (164-136.4 = 27.6).....I want to take at least 8 more lbs off. To answer your question, YES YOU CAN DO THIS AND BE SUCCESSFUL !!!
I love the info. I've been T2D for 28 years and when I fast, I don't need to take any insulin injections. It's great and I really don't feel hungry at all at the end of a fast.
One of your videos helped me so much. You explained about sugar/insulin blocking the hormone that tells you you are full and also that hunger pain was just a signal nothing to worry about and that it was safe to eat one meal every other day. I started doing 16:8 and for the last 4 days have done OMAD. I am already walking better and enjoying my journey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My Dietitian suggested I eat at 11:30 am and nothing after 7pm Monday-Friday. I'm eating healthy and exercising. I ate at my normal time Saturday and Feel bloated even though I stayed eating healthy. Definitely feel the difference. Hopefully this will improve. I'm using my fitness pal. I have to continue because I'm pre-diabetic. I can't afford a cheat meal. I regret letting myself get to this point. I still have my dad and my dogs who depend on me. I got tired of feeling like death was upon me.
When I was carnivore, I naturally fasted intermittently. It took a while to understand that each time I ate, I should eat to fullness. Initially, I tried to eat 3 times a day. Finally, I realized I just needed to eat till I was completely full (satiety). Hunger was ravenous and frequent in the beginning, but after a short while, the gaps between eating increased until it became about every 2 days. And oh, I healed my piles. Didn't have another flare up until almost 2 years after I went back to alcohol. Planning to get back on. And get treatment for my addictions.
Anyone wanting to know more about the beginning of carnivore, the rule I found was, eat when you're hungry. Eat till you're full every time. Don't worry, it fades away after a short while (less than 2 weeks for me). Gained muscle and lost more weight while not even working out. A lot of mental clarity and constant energy. Performance in the sack drastically improved tbh. It's great, but I'm currently battling alcoholism so I don't want to mix them cos it's deadly then. Needs to be a pure thing else I find a lot meat with alcohol has some adverse effects.
This is my seventh day of OMAD and feeling wonderful. I take a green salad with kidney beans, olive oil etc and an avocado smoothie and half an hour later some chicken or fish with a little rice for my dinner. I have lost five lbs without any hunger headaches or any lethargy or weakness which was my greatest concern when I started. The difficult part is shopping for and the meal preparation. Making sure everything is on hand at meal time and whether that is sustainable in a household which thrives on carbohydrate rich meals.
This the most comprehensive video on Keto and IF! You’ve made this so easy to understand! So glad the UA-cam algorithm rabbit hole bought me here!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg You are helping me alot. I am a 62 yr old woman my Dr. said I was pre everything bad. I've lost 10 lbs making better food choices, intermittent fast and getting 5000 steps a day checking BP and Blood Sugar. Watching your videos is informative and encouraging Thank You.
Thank you for giving me incredible clarity with this intermittent fasting and keto diet. I started about two months ago but I’m finally doing it probably the most perfect way. I’m excited to lose more weight and gain more health.
This channel has been so incredibly helpful! Understanding the science behind these nutrition and excercise choices makes it feel so much easier to grasp and put into practice. I've started walking 10k steps a day (up to 20k some days) and transitioning into keto/IF and already have lost a few KG but more importantly I feel healthier, have more energy, sleep better and I am so much more calm and mentally clear.
M doing intermediate fasting from last 2 years,only difference is at morning I have a coconut water at 8.00 am as my first thing after yesterday's 6 pm meal .m a pure vegetarian so I have coconut milk,jaggery ,dates, and all sort of vegetables and fruits. And I have reversed my grey hair , and migrane .now it's fells like heaven to live.
Your videos keep me inspired, motivated and remind me of what I can achieve in time. Six years ago I performed my own experiment for a year and lost 38kg, before realising I was actually intermittent fasting. I achieved my goal and body, remaining that way for five years, my body managed to get rid of anything I put in it. But due to complacency and stresses, over the last two years I have gradually gained some of the weight I had lost. Therefore, I know I’ve done it before and will do it again with my goal on its way to be reached by December 2020. Thank you for your honest information...and no advert cuts!
Thx Doc. I have been IF - mostly Omad for 3 months now and gotten frustrated this week and gave up as I had only lost 15 lbs. I been stalled over 2 weeks now at 205. Thx so much for this, I think I have the answer to break through now. Keep up the great, kind work. 👍
Don't rely on the scale. I stalled for three weeks. But clothes I couldn't wear I started to be able to during the stall. Those clothes helped me know I was winning.
I swear to god, thanks to you and dr la rosa i have lost 8kg, my old clothes now fit me, i feel great and eat great. Thank you so much, i am 6 weeks into IF.
One meal a day taking low carb with fish or chciekn and eggs ,salad ,fruits one day other day vegetables an fruits (making burger in home or seeds sandwich). Just started 2 months ago. My weight is good , I am doing for to reverse second D 2 AND prevent from future diseases.
Well, Dr. Sten. I have watched a couple other people and their videos on pretty much the same topics here. I have sorted out in my mind that I prefer your style of video production. Especially the charts and visual aids. Nothing more Boring than a man or woman sitting at a desk talking and talking. Your charts help to settle things into my brain. I am astonished at how little I knew of the inner workings of the human body. Never heard of the word Autophagy until I began watching your videos. I am closing in on 10 lbs of weight loss. This is a brain booster. Thanks for the well put together videos. No annoying music, well lit , good clear speaking.
Hi Doc, this will be my second time doing intermittent fasting. The first time I lost over 40lbs 4yrs ago but since then I’ve added 2 babies to my clan and now its time to get back on board. Also, I’ve noticed that I’ve been gaining more weight since I delivered my baby a few wks ago. I just weighed in before bed @205lbs and is looking to loose 50lbs. I’m really excited to follow your advise and let’s see where this goes. And by the way I’m new to your channel. Thanks again for the insight.
Probably the best and most comprehensive video I've ever seen regarding keto and intermittent fasting on youtube! I have been doing this for over a year and a half now went from 290lbs to 180lbs 65 years old and not on any meds. Walk 5 miles or so every day and fast every single day minimum of 14 hour but mostly 18+ hour fast. It makes me feel amazing. This is the video that if anyone ask what it is I do to get the results I have gotten I can recommend them to watch! Thanks Doc!
I can’t sleep well if I am very hungry. I like the idea of early dinner and I am not full or hungry when I go to bed. After watching Dr. Ekberg videos, I stop all dairy products or processed nut milk. I stop eating any low fats, low sugar sugar free foods which contain chemical substitutes. Now I really trust Dr. Ekberg because I can see he does his research and offers substantial facts about nutritions and maintaining good health.
I used to intermittent fasting. I felt great. My husband worried to much, I quit. I wish I had kept going. I am going back to it. I want to feel good again.
when i first started fasting 2 years ago, 12 hours felt like a mission. fast forward to date, i only eat dinner every other day and i feel freaking amazing. i’ve always had a toxic relationship with food and maintaining my fitness goals but now it’s almost TOO easy. thank you for all the videos you post, i’ve educated myself watching them. 🙏
I do almost 21 hrs fasting every day,,but eat all carb food and unlimited,,can I loose wait bcs I m gaining weight more than anydays!!!! Then where goes the fasting???😧
After watching many hours of videos about reversing T2D and intermittent fasting over the past week, I really thought I'd learned about all I needed to, but I have to say that this video really added a significant amount of great information. I'm doing 18/6 intermittent fasting, but NOW I know how to really change my noon meal! Thanks so much!
@@geraldinedonnell8574 Hi Geraldine...it's December 2022 me writing this and I started intermittent fasting 6 weeks ago and so far 12 lbs down .How are you doing since you started? Blessings from Scotland 🙏❤️
When you get to the point of having to remind yourself to eat, you know right then you’ve made it. I haven’t had real hunger pangs for over a year now. I couldn’t get to that without dropping the carbs while adding more fatty proteins and I workout while IF but have plenty of energy for lifting good volume. Thanks Doc for all your help.
Another nice video doctor Ekberg. I want to say thank you to you. 3 1/2 months ago I started watching your videos because I had to go to the doctors and get blood pressure medicine prescriptions refilled. As usual he wanted to check my blood for a whole host of things specifically glucose and cholesterol. I told him I already new I was a type 2 diabetic because of the food supply we have in this country. Anyway the results came back and I was a type 2 diabetic and my triglycerides were through the roof. Glycolsylatedhgb was 11.8 Triglycerides were 592,Cholesterol was 245 (Which according to your videos isn't that bad really) HDL 29 LDL 98 Chol/HDL Ratio 8.4 I started a low to no carb, no sugar, no grain diet with acv in water,and I eased into intermittent fasting just like your videos said to do. About three weeks ago I started a omad routine with acv and water twice a day to relieve my hunger at noon and before dinner.I don't know why but a cap of acv in a coffee cup of water does the trick. It has been three months since last tested so this last week I went and got the same tests done again. My Glycolsylated HGB Ratio is now 7.4 my cholesterol is still good at 266 My HDL is 36 LDL is 184 (Just trolly cars that's all they are)But my triglycerides are now at 246. I have also lost 15 pounds and we had to adjust my blood pressure medicine down 5 Miligrams. I am going to continue what I am doing and not go on the statins like the good doctor wants me too and retest in another 3 months. I am also very interested in lowering my inflamation from now until then. So any advice there is welcomed. I have rang the bell and subscribed and can't wait for another life style video from you. Again Thank You Dr Ekberg for being willing to teach us how to live better and longer naturally.
the reason thats why i do fasting now coz i have a allergy and sinus problem..so many food that triggers my sinus..i hope it helps to elliminate my allergy by doing fasting..thank you doctor
Your videos have truly helped me! In three weeks of following your advice I have lost 15 pounds and am feeling better. I finally have the knowledge on how to get and stay healthier. Thank you so much!
Since losing half my thyroid to cancer surgery, I find that despite what my doctor says is adequate hormone replacement, the same keto diet with intermittent fasting that helped me lose weight is no longer producing that effect. Any suggestions?
This is the best explanation why A LCHF combine with IF or OMAD to keep our body in Ketosis at longest time of a day & sustainable. Then doing a longer 2 to 5 days of Fasting is much easier. Bravo!
Brilliant, I am doing 18:6 and will change that meal (and vary its time,)to sprouts, broccoli etc with butter. Then have my protein in the eve. Already lost 30 pounds in 2.5 months but plateaued this week. Last stubborn 5-10 pounds to go.
Hello Dr. Ekburg, I really want to thank you for all your information on health and inspiration. It has really put me on the road to a healthy life and I am trying to spread your knowledge by sharing your videos to all my family and friends. I am currently doing omad 2mad and intermittent fasting and just bought a keton glucose meter and am going to start measuring my Ketones and glucose to see if I can get into some autophagy. Thanks again, and I really appreciate your holistic approach to health and your understanding of the human body's operating systems. Thanks Ken Pugliese
Thank you Gooddogy. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting. I’ve lost 3stone (42lbs) in around 4 months. I started to plateau so I’ve just had three weeks of eating what I wanted. Only gained 4lbs., back to the fasting I go though., you feel so much better when you do the intermittent fasting. Once you’ve broken through the initial stages it does get easier. I do 23/1 intermittent fasting (keto).
I love your videos. I have learned so much from all of them. General Practitioners are not that helpful, they look at parts of the body in isolation, they never view the body as a whole. When the body is out of balance, disorders occur. By correcting one disease with meds, other organs can be thrown out of balance. I have seen this and experienced this over and over. It is so important to understand how your body works and to look after your own health because nobody will do it for you.
Tomorrow will be one month of IF and very low carb. Can't wait to weight myself, but the other bénéfits are already there (no distendesmd stomach or gas, no hunger, no anxiety towards food, less stress , more time to focus on other activities in a.m.)❤
great video, always interesting. I started OMAD once or twice a week 2 years ago and now do it 5 days/week with 18/6 at week-ends. have lost nearly 40kg so far with just another (stubborn) 6kg to lose.
Can you please help me lost weight with hashimoto's disease. I need alot of help. It's hard for me to lose the weight because of the hashimoto's disease. I need to get down to 130 or 135lbs. If I can do it. It will make me very happy.
I also, have post nasal drip. I can get rid of my cough. I cough 24/7. I can't take it anymore. The acid from the back of my throat hurts me bad. I did everything possible for it. But it wont go away. I can't stand it anymore. So please dr. Help me get rid of it. THANKYOU Jodie
@@saraddhyamwmkjh7052 personally I try to avoid carbs but I'm not on keto. potatoes once or twice a week but no fries, bread is a rare treat maybe a roll or a slice or 2 once a month, probably not eaten pasta in a year or more.i do eat other starchy veggies though with my meal.
Dinner tonight: cut up cucumbers (I'm obsessed with them lately), thin, raw red onion rings, sour cream, vinegar, splash of lemon, salt, pepper, garlic. Side of tuna salad with mayo. I'm keto all the way and it's really paying off. I've been losing weight and inches steadily over several months.
Beautiful list. I just started intermittent fasting and I would like to have my first meal with avocado and boiled eggs with some green vegetables this will take me fine to dinner. It also works for my work style as it’s easy to prepare 😊. Thank you so much 😊
Wow , as a Muslim who fast for faith I knew it’s good for me spiritually and did feel it’s effect especially after fasting Ramadan month but didn’t really know why and the details.. no wonder we are urged to fast a whole month during a year and 3 days a month and for those who can even fast two days a week and the best of them which unfortunately it’s rare for Muslim these days to do is to fast every other day.. Am really glad I pumped into this video It made more appreciative of fasting
You can get kidney stone with not drinking water...fasting with no water is crazy....Muslim's fasting is harsh like their other things.. and imagine when that Ramadan thing falls into summer months with long days from sunrise to sunset on hot days..not a sip water...
Congrats on 500k - the only channel on YT I’ve been constantly following for a loooong time now. Most valuable content for everyone who really wants to learn about HOW the body works and how to eat healthy. Thank you @drekberg for sharing your knowledge. This is most appreciated! Greeting from Germany
Recently I had protein shake, milk, egg, yogurt and sometimes lean meat for the morning, then for lunch some vegetables and other Chinese dishes but with no staple food like rice or noodles, go to bed before 11pm, so I don't have to nap in the office and I never feel sleepy in the afternoon, and don't feel hungry outside the eating window.
You'll never get the benefit of intermittent fasting if you still eat crappy/junk food during your eating window. The first thing you must avoid when doing intermittent fasting is sugar and refined carbs because it'll only make you more starving and lethargic during your fasting window..
Thanks. Now I understand why eating an apple during my OMAD gives me a headache. My insulin was probably going up and down like a yoyo. Also, I found that OMAD was not enough after I did ultra short interval running. I guess my body was telling me that it needed more protein to grow. If I don't do interval running, OMAD is no problem.
I never thought I could do intermittent fasting but I think it's the best decision I have ever made. I work 12hr shift and feel the need to eat cause I am always hungry. I prepared my mind to take on this challenge and today is day 3. I get hike at 8pm I do my jump rope and realize my energy level is on fkeek lol. I also do Mrlondon fupa and Chloe challenge. I shower eat my broccoli and chicken and bed time.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for all the work you do to promote health and well being. You have helped me understand the benefits of IF and am so appreciative of the information you present on this channel with visuals and clear explanations! Being vegetarian makes the protein piece more challenging and hope you have videos on that! Thank you so very much!
I have a lot of digestion issues.. sometimes I stop digesting food all together. Either my stomach stops working or everything I eat ends up as diarrhea. On top of that.. depression. I am going on my 4th day of only eating once at 4:30pm every day. My energy is wild ngl.. I have noticed I’m doing things I would put off. I had someone ask if I was on some sort of drug 😒 that’s how much energy we are talking.

Thanks so much!!!
I am 6 days into a 18-6 Intermittent regiment and I feel great and have lost 8lbs. So far, its been awesome
What do u eat.
Great job!!!
Remember, depending on your size you will lose water mostly. After that I now lose about 3-5 pounds per week consistently. Do not get demotivated if you slow down!!! Best of luck!
👌
I am on day 4 and feel fabulous no alcohol for 8 days yehaaaaaaaaa
Started intermittent fasting 5 days ago. I haven't weighed myself at all yet, but the t-shirt I put on today fits me better than the last time I wore it.
Best way to measure progress 🙂 I use few pairs of my Levi’s 501
I started 16/8 daily IF about a month ago (loving it!!) I’ve lost a few pounds according to the scale, but WOW do my clothes fit looser. Crazy
Pounds lost approximately 6-10
Glucose levels normalizing (from day 1 of the start of fasting)
Average resting heart rate down to 72 from 84
I feel MUCH better (physically and mentally) starting to sleep better.
I bounce on my Cellerciser 3-5 times a week for 20-30 minutes
Can’t recommend IF highly enough 🌿
I’ve found the LIFE IF app (free) to be very helpful
I’m 57, female, with an aim to turn around a recent diabetes diagnosis. Med- free is my goal. Also to turn around a long-time autoimmune dysfunction ✅
Nuts: pecan, macademia,
Leafy greens with butter,
bpc,
Butter, evoo, coconutoil,
vegetables,
coconut cream,
Avocado
What is BPC please?
I couldn't find bpc as well please drop what is bpc foods?
@@1thinkboss I think it's Bullet Proof Coffee
@@debwoods5834 Yes.
I'm on day 2 of intermittent fasting. Im already feeling healthier!
I did 3 days but now i want to try 5 days
3 months later - how are you Amy?
That's the placebo effect for ya. Realistically, two days of intermittent fasting isn't enough to have any significant effect.
I just started so far I can only do 18 hours, my goal this week is to reach 20 hours.
I use to do this in my 20’s 3 days eat only apples…now pushing 60.
Good luck
Cheers 🇨🇦
U dont eat any fruit
Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 😊 😊 😊
Exactly
So true
Yeeesss!
I was just saying this the other night. On days that I am able to start fasting at around 7pm.. I can push through the morning and get to about 1:30-2pm before I eat my first meal...but on days I had to eat a bit later and don't stop eating until 9pm, I am ready to eat by about 9AM!!! 😩
It is the valley of blood glucose caused by the insulin spike, so simple and at the same time so rare that it is not known... always happen to me but in afternoon nap after having a big lunch...
I wake up hugry in both cases 😭😂
I started fasting last jan. 2024. My initial weight was 113kg, now my dry weight is 98-99kg every morning. Very knowledgeble YT channel. Thank you Dr. Ekberg. ❤
Update on weight? Rooting for you.
@rutvikrs im at 89-90. Im now on fasting while working out 3 to 4 times a week.
I have bp coffee throughout the day and then 1 meal at nite. Protein and veg. Dropped heaps of weight and am never craving anything. Thanks doc.
this isn't just top 10 foods for intermittent fasting, this is "the complete guide to intermittent fasting." Thanks for the excellent resource, Doc!
K
No
My question is, how much proteins, fruits and vegetables should you eat to meet your daily caloric goals since veggies have so little calories.
Incredible knowledge!! I'm having a ball with this life style change.

بسیار ممنون از اطلاعاتی که دادید. مدتیه که روزه داری متناوب رو انجام میدم و حدود ۱۵ کیلو وزن کم کردم. مشکلاتی داشتم که دیدن این ویدئو برام حل کرد. سپاس 🙏
Animal foods: Fatty Fish, Grass Fed Meat,Eggs
Fatty Nuts: Macadamia Nuts, Pecans
Leafy Greens, Cabbage, Non Starchy Vegetables
BulletProof Coffee
Fat: Butter, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil
Coconut Cream
Avocado
He said Animal food is not great for autophagy
Full fat Greek yogurt ok?
Thank u
@@justthinking526 That's fine. But.. many people are lactose intolerant, even more so then carbs.
Thank you for posting the list
I have been on keto for almost 3 months and have lost 30lbs. I am aiming to lose another 56lbs. Watching this video tells me that I have made a mistake along the way in the sense that I have been losing or not reaching autophagy due to my protein intake. I have been on OMAD for roughly 4 weeks eating 6pm each day fasting 24 hours. My fat intake is pretty high and has not had any problems with hunger in between meals. I now realize that I will need to lower my protein intake to reach better autophagy so that my body eats a higher level of its own fat. Dr. Ekberg. Thank you for taking the time to educate us, mear mortals.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Congratulations!
Apparently I too need to reduce the protein intake on IF. So far I have done 24 hrs even 30 hrs but have not busted thru that as yet maybe if I can cut the protein I could .
How I love this man. Happy to say my hubby decided to join my healthy lifestyle 3days ago... He's doing amazing. I for 1 was very happy to discover you. I have lost a little more than 20kgs in just 7months and no saggy skin. I take your advices to heart
Today is my 5th day of IF, and i lost 3kg already. Motivated to continue...😉💪🏻
Wow way to go!!
On long fasts I drink mct oil in coffee. If I really feel a need to eat I'll eat a tin of sardines in ev olive oil. Those little fish fill you up nicely.
Thanks for the video. I have proved the truth of it. I am now experiencing the amazing result of intermitent fasting for more than one month. My blood glucose level returns to normal level (below 100 mg/dL, and my body weight is reduced from 80 kg to 77 kg. Praise the Lord!
I started this last june 29th ive been going 24 hrs and have taken no insuslin nor metformin my glucose levels are better than when taking meds. 100- 140). Working hard to come down more. Absolutely love it. Thank you doctor God bless!!
Its crazy how information like this is so controversal to many people. I have lived like this (fasting avoiding carbs ) and felt very much alive. However when i used to eat several times a day i would be tired suffer from chronic tiredness unable to focus and be more negative. Thank you for life saving information
It's controversial because it is unhealthy for most people to cut food groups or specific macronutrients out of their diet entirely. Everything in moderation. Ya know, a well-balanced diet? People should still eat carbs, they should just eat them in moderation and favor unprocessed whole grains over refined sugars and flours.
I can eat a bowl of green salad at lunch topped with nuts, avocado and olive oil as dressing. I feel really full but not sleepy after eating. My fullness lasts for 18 to 20 hours, feel great, no lethargic feeling, stable energy, no cravings. I will never go back to eating crappy foods again. I can do IF for long hours and break my fast with nutritious foods high in essential fats. It's easy to remove addiction to toxic foods if one will educate himself first. That way, we can change our perspective of eating. Fasting and keto diet is not a fad. It's a healthy lifestyle.
do you have a very physically straining job?
Is eating chicken considered toxic according to you?
Or whole oatmeal with veggies, fruits,liver, pork, cheese ,eggs ect...
Your diet is very insufficient for a daily intense and fasted workout so you have a poor lifestyle
Thank you Cristie Canicosa. That's awesome
Tell me how, I feel like a train wreck !
@@arnaudjean1159 Educate yourself my friend 😉 If you think that this way of eating is "insufficient for a daily intense and fasted workout" you're going to hate Dr Shawn Baker 😂 He's over 50, eats nothing but meat and does workouts every single day that would put guys in their 30's to shame. Holder of several age records he has lifted over 700 pounds on a zero carb lifestyle 😎 Dr Ekberg knows his stuff and would 100% trust both of them over and above a random UA-cam comment. Please don't take people at their word, look the information up and see the evidence with your own eyes.
Dr Ekberg, thanks for the great video. In my language,kannada, We have distilled wisdom from generations which is encapsulated in a adage or proverb which roughly translated to as- One who eats once a day is a 'Yogi' (A master) , twice a day is a person who is enjoying (bhogi) and thrice a day is a rogi (patient)
The easiest thing to do is to intermittent fast, it requires...nothing, but not eating. The difficulty lies in food choices once it is our time to eat. As a result, with I.F. we learn to appreciate food in a new way.
Thank you Singing Mama. So true. Real food tastes amazing. Anything but high fat tastes dry.😂
Singing Mama I agree. There’s nothing more tiresome to me than preparing & cooking food 😀
Eating and DRINKING calories.
But yes, no pain and lots of gain.
Really easy to do.
Is it okay to do IF while maintaining weight and have a little bit high carb diet? (I am asian but i do cardio daily)
@@drekberg UNFORTUNATELY I can't eat Avacodo's anymore. They do a number on my stomach. I had no problem with them in the 80's. Love guacamole.. ??
I was doing a lot of fasting and was nice and thin. But I ate carbs. At night I'd have protein. Chicken or turkey. And my aches and pains subsided. I have some sort of chronic fatigue\ pain.
I was diagnosed in 70's with D.M earlier reactive hypoglycemia. But over last 15 or more years my blood sugar was testing beautifully for the most part. The last 3 years or so are something different. And now I'm always hungry. Eating. I hate it. But I'm home even more due to COVID AND. OTHER PERSONAL AND MEDICAL ISSUES. NOW IM GOING TO TRY TAKING CHROMIUM Again. ITS NOT IN MY MULTI VIT. ANYMORE . I HATE. EATING ALOT. ESPECIALLY HATE WEIGHT GAIN.. OR JUST GETTING BIGGER. I LIKE BEING SLIM. BUT MUSCULAR.. IM GOING THROUGH CHANGES NOW. W PAIN ETC. BUT THANK GOD I HAVE FOOD. I Actually like fasting.. Was doing quite a bit of it. But not 24 hrs. At least not intentionally.
Thank you very much Dr Ekberg . I started OMAD since July 15 2020 . Lost 51 pounds and I need to lose more but am not worried keto and intermittent fasting became a habit for me . I feel so much energy and I do my workout 3 times a week and I walk almost every day ...
Love this. I’ve gone down two sizes in a matter of weeks; no hunger but eating nutritious, healthy meals - one solid one per day. My way of intermittent fasting is to postpone meals so I don’t eat more than the one full meal. I do have a “snack” now and then, with a salad or something fermented like pickles or green olives stuffed with garlic from TJ’s or a handful of walnuts. Also, every day I drink a cup of coffee with cacao powder for a mocha flavor (with cream and stevia) and a small square of dark sugar free dark chocolate also from TJ’s. Also I only eat fish and eggs as animal protein. I eat raspberries with plain yogurt and a tbspn of peanut butter as a small meal. Just aware of not eating as much as I did, and no-to-low carbs. Lots of water and green or hibiscus tea.
Thank you for your meal suggestions from TJ. Very helpful at the beginning of my journey 😊.
I will try coffee with coca powder also.
P
I’ve been intermittent fasting for about two months, I tried 16-8, 18-6, 20-4, and ADF. I have only lost 7kg. My weight is pretty much like a yo-yo. I did see a more consistent drop this week when I broke my fast with avocado. Am I doing something wrong?
@@huskitty1 once a week to a 1 or 2 day fast and one meal a day. Example i made a wok full of 1kg lean lamb mince,2 cougettes,1 egg plant,1 red onion,500g chestnut mushrooms,half garlic bulb,3 bell peppers,1 tin chopped tomatoes and chilli con carni powder mix 50g and extra water and 125g edamae beans. It's enough foid for 4/5 days. 1 large bowl is very filling. I also did a 3 week fast at the start. The first 6kg/1 stone, 50% is loss of water. Get some electrolite powder when water fasting.get fizzy water. I do cheat with 20ml of elderflower codial per 500ml water but have since quit that of water fasting days. Oh and walking.every other day walk 2 hours.
I came across Dr Ekberg's video on intermittent fasting two weeks ago and tried a 14 hour fast with no problem. So then tried the 16,18,20 and 23 fasts with no problem. I have since settled down to one meal a day and have zero pangs of hunger. Along with this is zero feeling of tiredness and I am not missing food or snacking at all.
Blood sugar has decreased dramatically and so has my resting heart rate.
Intermittent fasting is absolutely brilliant.
Thanks Dr Ekberg for your well researched and explained videos.
Hey thanks for your comment. What are your meals looking like on OMAD? How many calories are you consuming and in what forms?
been watching your vids for 3 weeks or so now. Down 17 lbs in 2 weeks of fasting/keto dieting and I’m getting even more disciplined.
You are not only very, very professional and a tremendous communicator, you are a fantastic
I start this in late May and it's now the end of September, I've loss 27.6 lbs so far (164-136.4 = 27.6).....I want to take at least 8 more lbs off. To answer your question, YES YOU CAN DO THIS AND BE SUCCESSFUL !!!
I love the info. I've been T2D for 28 years and when I fast, I don't need to take any insulin injections. It's great and I really don't feel hungry at all at the end of a fast.
One of your videos helped me so much. You explained about sugar/insulin blocking the hormone that tells you you are full and also that hunger pain was just a signal nothing to worry about and that it was safe to eat one meal every other day. I started doing 16:8 and for the last 4 days have done OMAD. I am already walking better and enjoying my journey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
yeah i love all the benefits, lost some weight, my chronic pain got better,
but the best thing is, i havent seen a grocery store in weeks.
My Dietitian suggested I eat at 11:30 am and nothing after 7pm Monday-Friday. I'm eating healthy and exercising. I ate at my normal time Saturday and Feel bloated even though I stayed eating healthy. Definitely feel the difference. Hopefully this will improve. I'm using my fitness pal. I have to continue because I'm pre-diabetic. I can't afford a cheat meal. I regret letting myself get to this point. I still have my dad and my dogs who depend on me. I got tired of feeling like death was upon me.
I have started keto diet and followed by intermediate fasting as result in 3 months I lost 20kg body weight. I am very excited. Thanks Dr.
When I was carnivore, I naturally fasted intermittently. It took a while to understand that each time I ate, I should eat to fullness. Initially, I tried to eat 3 times a day. Finally, I realized I just needed to eat till I was completely full (satiety). Hunger was ravenous and frequent in the beginning, but after a short while, the gaps between eating increased until it became about every 2 days.
And oh, I healed my piles. Didn't have another flare up until almost 2 years after I went back to alcohol. Planning to get back on. And get treatment for my addictions.
Anyone wanting to know more about the beginning of carnivore, the rule I found was, eat when you're hungry. Eat till you're full every time. Don't worry, it fades away after a short while (less than 2 weeks for me).
Gained muscle and lost more weight while not even working out.
A lot of mental clarity and constant energy. Performance in the sack drastically improved tbh.
It's great, but I'm currently battling alcoholism so I don't want to mix them cos it's deadly then. Needs to be a pure thing else I find a lot meat with alcohol has some adverse effects.
@@someguyO2W what side effects. My husband is battling alcoholism and a full blown carnivore diet
The most humble doctor I have ever seen.
Seriously.
This is my seventh day of OMAD and feeling wonderful. I take a green salad with kidney beans, olive oil etc and an avocado smoothie and half an hour later some chicken or fish with a little rice for my dinner. I have lost five lbs without any hunger headaches or any lethargy or weakness which was my greatest concern when I started. The difficult part is shopping for and the meal preparation. Making sure everything is on hand at meal time and whether that is sustainable in a household which thrives on carbohydrate rich meals.
This the most comprehensive video on Keto and IF! You’ve made this so easy to understand! So glad the UA-cam algorithm rabbit hole bought me here!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg
You are helping me alot.
I am a 62 yr old woman my Dr. said I was pre everything bad. I've
lost 10 lbs making better food choices, intermittent fast and getting 5000 steps a day checking BP and Blood Sugar. Watching your videos is informative and encouraging Thank You.
I m doing intermittent fasting from few days and trust me after few days you just get used to the routine. You dnt even feel hungry in the morning. 💪
Thank you for giving me incredible clarity with this intermittent fasting and keto diet. I started about two months ago but I’m finally doing it probably the most perfect way. I’m excited to lose more weight and gain more health.
@Richard Breeze and why would you be watching this channel if you really belive skipping breakfast is not healthy? Say whaaaat?
This channel has been so incredibly helpful! Understanding the science behind these nutrition and excercise choices makes it feel so much easier to grasp and put into practice. I've started walking 10k steps a day (up to 20k some days) and transitioning into keto/IF and already have lost a few KG but more importantly I feel healthier, have more energy, sleep better and I am so much more calm and mentally clear.
@ @
I agree!
I'm on my 26 hours fasting while watching this, planning to EF for 48 hours, thanks Dr Ekberg for this video,it motivates me
Starting IF tomorrow , 12/10 I’ll check back in a week!
M doing intermediate fasting from last 2 years,only difference is at morning I have a coconut water at 8.00 am as my first thing after yesterday's 6 pm meal .m a pure vegetarian so I have coconut milk,jaggery ,dates, and all sort of vegetables and fruits. And I have reversed my grey hair , and migrane .now it's fells like heaven to live.
I started do ing IF and the OMAD every second day which I started this week. Hmm let’s see how I go
How u go :)??
@@mrsalimx5 it was hard after a week. So I stopped OMAD and now just doing IF. As a result I am losing more weight just on IF.
@@Ozziemick ok without calories restriction ?
@@Ozziemick That's awesome! IF for the win!
Your videos keep me inspired, motivated and remind me of what I can achieve in time. Six years ago I performed my own experiment for a year and lost 38kg, before realising I was actually intermittent fasting. I achieved my goal and body, remaining that way for five years, my body managed to get rid of anything I put in it. But due to complacency and stresses, over the last two years I have gradually gained some of the weight I had lost. Therefore, I know I’ve done it before and will do it again with my goal on its way to be reached by December 2020. Thank you for your honest information...and no advert cuts!
How did you go?
Thx Doc. I have been IF - mostly Omad for 3 months now and gotten frustrated this week and gave up as I had only lost 15 lbs. I been stalled over 2 weeks now at 205. Thx so much for this, I think I have the answer to break through now. Keep up the great, kind work. 👍
Hey Lori, check dr. Mindi's video for things you can do when you reach a plateu during fasting. Realy helpful tips.
Don't rely on the scale. I stalled for three weeks. But clothes I couldn't wear I started to be able to during the stall. Those clothes helped me know I was winning.
I swear to god, thanks to you and dr la rosa i have lost 8kg, my old clothes now fit me, i feel great and eat great. Thank you so much, i am 6 weeks into IF.
One meal a day taking low carb with fish or chciekn and eggs ,salad ,fruits one day other day vegetables an fruits
(making burger in home or seeds sandwich).
Just started 2 months ago.
My weight is good ,
I am doing for to reverse second D 2 AND prevent from future diseases.
Well, Dr. Sten. I have watched a couple other people and their videos on pretty much the same topics here. I have sorted out in my mind that I prefer your style of video production. Especially the charts and visual aids. Nothing more Boring than a man or woman sitting at a desk talking and talking. Your charts help to settle things into my brain.
I am astonished at how little I knew of the inner workings of the human body. Never heard of the word Autophagy until I began watching your videos.
I am closing in on 10 lbs of weight loss. This is a brain booster.
Thanks for the well put together videos. No annoying music, well lit , good clear speaking.
Hi Doc, this will be my second time doing intermittent fasting. The first time I lost over 40lbs 4yrs ago but since then I’ve added 2 babies to my clan and now its time to get back on board. Also, I’ve noticed that I’ve been gaining more weight since I delivered my baby a few wks ago. I just weighed in before bed @205lbs and is looking to loose 50lbs. I’m really excited to follow your advise and let’s see where this goes. And by the way I’m new to your channel. Thanks again for the insight.
spell loose correctly to start...
So how are you doing on your journey to lose 50 pounds?? Please let us know. And congratulations on the birth of your baby!
Probably the best and most comprehensive video I've ever seen regarding keto and intermittent fasting on youtube! I have been doing this for over a year and a half now went from 290lbs to 180lbs 65 years old and not on any meds. Walk 5 miles or so every day and fast every single day minimum of 14 hour but mostly 18+ hour fast. It makes me feel amazing. This is the video that if anyone ask what it is I do to get the results I have gotten I can recommend them to watch! Thanks Doc!
I can’t sleep well if I am very hungry. I like the idea of early dinner and I am not full or hungry when I go to bed. After watching Dr. Ekberg videos, I stop all dairy products or processed nut milk. I stop eating any low fats, low sugar sugar free foods which contain chemical substitutes. Now I really trust Dr. Ekberg because I can see he does his research and offers substantial facts about nutritions and maintaining good health.
I used to intermittent fasting. I felt great. My husband worried to much, I quit. I wish I had kept going. I am going back to it. I want to feel good again.
when i first started fasting 2 years ago, 12 hours felt like a mission. fast forward to date, i only eat dinner every other day and i feel freaking amazing. i’ve always had a toxic relationship with food and maintaining my fitness goals but now it’s almost TOO easy. thank you for all the videos you post, i’ve educated myself watching them. 🙏
I do almost 21 hrs fasting every day,,but eat all carb food and unlimited,,can I loose wait bcs I m gaining weight more than anydays!!!! Then where goes the fasting???😧
After watching many hours of videos about reversing T2D and intermittent fasting over the past week, I really thought I'd learned about all I needed to, but I have to say that this video really added a significant amount of great information. I'm doing 18/6 intermittent fasting, but NOW I know how to really change my noon meal! Thanks so much!
You are welcome johngmccune. My pleasure 😄
I’m still confused after black coffee we can have salad with extra virgin oil ovacado and veggies and that prolongs fast.

When you get to the point of having to remind yourself to eat, you know right then you’ve made it. I haven’t had real hunger pangs for over a year now. I couldn’t get to that without dropping the carbs while adding more fatty proteins and I workout while IF but have plenty of energy for lifting good volume. Thanks Doc for all your help.

Another nice video doctor Ekberg. I want to say thank you to you. 3 1/2 months ago I started watching your videos because I had to go to the doctors and get blood pressure medicine prescriptions refilled. As usual he wanted to check my blood for a whole host of things specifically glucose and cholesterol. I told him I already new I was a type 2 diabetic because of the food supply we have in this country. Anyway the results came back and I was a type 2 diabetic and my triglycerides were through the roof. Glycolsylatedhgb was 11.8 Triglycerides were 592,Cholesterol was 245 (Which according to your videos isn't that bad really) HDL 29 LDL 98 Chol/HDL Ratio 8.4
I started a low to no carb, no sugar, no grain diet with acv in water,and I eased into intermittent fasting just like your videos said to do. About three weeks ago I started a omad routine with acv and water twice a day to relieve my hunger at noon and before dinner.I don't know why but a cap of acv in a coffee cup of water does the trick.
It has been three months since last tested so this last week I went and got the same tests done again. My Glycolsylated HGB Ratio is now 7.4 my cholesterol is still good at 266 My HDL is 36 LDL is 184 (Just trolly cars that's all they are)But my triglycerides are now at 246. I have also lost 15 pounds and we had to adjust my blood pressure medicine down 5 Miligrams.
I am going to continue what I am doing and not go on the statins like the good doctor wants me too and retest in another 3 months. I am also very interested in lowering my inflamation from now until then. So any advice there is welcomed. I have rang the bell and subscribed and can't wait for another life style video from you. Again Thank You Dr Ekberg for being willing to teach us how to live better and longer naturally.
the reason thats why i do fasting now coz i have a allergy and sinus problem..so many food that triggers my sinus..i hope it helps to elliminate my allergy by doing fasting..thank you doctor
Your videos have truly helped me! In three weeks of following your advice I have lost 15 pounds and am feeling better. I finally have the knowledge on how to get and stay healthier. Thank you so much!
Since losing half my thyroid to cancer surgery, I find that despite what my doctor says is adequate hormone replacement, the same keto diet with intermittent fasting that helped me lose weight is no longer producing that effect. Any suggestions?
This is the best explanation why A LCHF combine with IF or OMAD to keep our body in Ketosis at longest time of a day & sustainable. Then doing a longer 2 to 5 days of Fasting is much easier. Bravo!
Glad it was helpful!
Annoying Acronyms!
Brilliant, I am doing 18:6 and will change that meal (and vary its time,)to sprouts, broccoli etc with butter. Then have my protein in the eve. Already lost 30 pounds in 2.5 months but plateaued this week.
Last stubborn 5-10 pounds to go.
This information about eating the right food has changed my strict diet..been vegan for 6 years..
Hello Dr. Ekburg, I really want to thank you for all your information on health and inspiration. It has really put me on the road to a healthy life and I am trying to spread your knowledge by sharing your videos to all my family and friends. I am currently doing omad 2mad and intermittent fasting and just bought a keton glucose meter and am going to start measuring my
Ketones and glucose to see if I can get into some autophagy. Thanks again, and I really appreciate your holistic approach to health and your understanding of the human body's operating systems. Thanks Ken Pugliese
Thank you Gooddogy. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting. I’ve lost 3stone (42lbs) in around 4 months. I started to plateau so I’ve just had three weeks of eating what I wanted. Only gained 4lbs., back to the fasting I go though., you feel so much better when you do the intermittent fasting. Once you’ve broken through the initial stages it does get easier. I do 23/1 intermittent fasting (keto).
I love your videos. I have learned so much from all of them. General Practitioners are not that helpful, they look at parts of the body in isolation, they never view the body as a whole. When the body is out of balance, disorders occur. By correcting one disease with meds, other organs can be thrown out of balance. I have seen this and experienced this over and over. It is so important to understand how your body works and to look after your own health because nobody will do it for you.
I enjoyed watching this video. Understood clearly. Greetings all the way from Zambia, Central Africa.
Tomorrow will be one month of IF and very low carb. Can't wait to weight myself, but the other bénéfits are already there (no distendesmd stomach or gas, no hunger, no anxiety towards food, less stress , more time to focus on other activities in a.m.)❤
great video, always interesting. I started OMAD once or twice a week 2 years ago and now do it 5 days/week with 18/6 at week-ends. have lost nearly 40kg so far with just another (stubborn) 6kg to lose.
Nice work! You can do it.😄
Can you please help me lost weight with hashimoto's disease. I need alot of help. It's hard for me to lose the weight because of the hashimoto's disease. I need to get down to 130 or 135lbs. If I can do it. It will make me very happy.
I also, have post nasal drip. I can get rid of my cough. I cough 24/7. I can't take it anymore. The acid from the back of my throat hurts me bad. I did everything possible for it. But it wont go away. I can't stand it anymore. So please dr. Help me get rid of it. THANKYOU Jodie
Please tell me ,,can we do whole carbs meals on omad and loose wait??any idea
@@saraddhyamwmkjh7052 personally I try to avoid carbs but I'm not on keto. potatoes once or twice a week but no fries, bread is a rare treat maybe a roll or a slice or 2 once a month, probably not eaten pasta in a year or more.i do eat other starchy veggies though with my meal.
Thanks, Dr. Ekberg. Your videos help keep me focused as I continue to encourage my family to appreciate keto and fasting.
Wonderful! I'll keep them coming
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, I have been doing OMAD for a month. Loving it.
Dinner tonight: cut up cucumbers (I'm obsessed with them lately), thin, raw red onion rings, sour cream, vinegar, splash of lemon, salt, pepper, garlic. Side of tuna salad with mayo. I'm keto all the way and it's really paying off. I've been losing weight and inches steadily over several months.
Really it helped me in 3 weeks looked a great difference in weight and full of energy thanks for sharing valuable knowledge
What are you eating every day please post below. Thank you so much stay happy👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👍👍
What a blesing is to have Dr Ekberg's health related videos, he has clarified many things for me, I am very grateful for teachings. Blessings.
Beautiful list. I just started intermittent fasting and I would like to have my first meal with avocado and boiled eggs with some green vegetables this will take me fine to dinner. It also works for my work style as it’s easy to prepare 😊. Thank you so much 😊
Thanks so much Doc. Now I am in peace knowing what best to serve my system during my IF. You speak very clear
cranberries, pumpkin, horseradish, garlic, hot spices, redish, backweet, sunflower seeds, etc
What do you think about cheese… is it really bad for pushing insulin up??
Thank you...excellent communicator. I learn something every time I watch.
I’ve just started IF and hope it will work for me too; great video, amazing presentation. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
I'm learning to live healthy....thank you!!!

Nobody can explain it as you! Thanks so much for all your amazing work! Greetings from Germany!
Wow , as a Muslim who fast for faith I knew it’s good for me spiritually and did feel it’s effect especially after fasting Ramadan month but didn’t really know why and the details.. no wonder we are urged to fast a whole month during a year and 3 days a month and for those who can even fast two days a week and the best of them which unfortunately it’s rare for Muslim these days to do is to fast every other day.. Am really glad I pumped into this video It made more appreciative of fasting
I like your idea of fasting 2 times a week.i tried 16 hours window eating for 6 months the problem is i look sooo skinny .
I never added the dots. My Muslim friends eat well after fasting and none of them are obiese
You can get kidney stone with not drinking water...fasting with no water is crazy....Muslim's fasting is harsh like their other things.. and imagine when that Ramadan thing falls into summer months with long days from sunrise to sunset on hot days..not a sip water...
Christians should have 3 weeks of fasting before Christmas 😂 ... but no longer as December became a month of feasting 😂
Congrats on 500k - the only channel on YT I’ve been constantly following for a loooong time now. Most valuable content for everyone who really wants to learn about HOW the body works and how to eat healthy. Thank you @drekberg for sharing your knowledge. This is most appreciated! Greeting from Germany
I agree; it's so logically presented.
Recently I had protein shake, milk, egg, yogurt and sometimes lean meat for the morning, then for lunch some vegetables and other Chinese dishes but with no staple food like rice or noodles, go to bed before 11pm, so I don't have to nap in the office and I never feel sleepy in the afternoon, and don't feel hungry outside the eating window.
Sounds great!
What about celery, carrots, cucumber, radish and tomato. I eat all of these vegetables in a salad.
Great teacher. One of my video musts each day. From a grateful 72yo Australian. Thanks very much Sten.
Hello Doctor what is your meal plan in a regular day and when you have day off ?
You'll never get the benefit of intermittent fasting if you still eat crappy/junk food during your eating window. The first thing you must avoid when doing intermittent fasting is sugar and refined carbs because it'll only make you more starving and lethargic during your fasting window..
Thanks. Now I understand why eating an apple during my OMAD gives me a headache. My insulin was probably going up and down like a yoyo. Also, I found that OMAD was not enough after I did ultra short interval running. I guess my body was telling me that it needed more protein to grow. If I don't do interval running, OMAD is no problem.
Ive been intermittent fasting for weeks. And i dont have much energy. Do you have any suggestions?
Would adding heavy cream to coffee break a fast... Is it a good source of fat, and is autophagy kept?
I never thought I could do intermittent fasting but I think it's the best decision I have ever made. I work 12hr shift and feel the need to eat cause I am always hungry. I prepared my mind to take on this challenge and today is day 3. I get hike at 8pm I do my jump rope and realize my energy level is on fkeek lol. I also do Mrlondon fupa and Chloe challenge. I shower eat my broccoli and chicken and bed time.
What’s your body type?
Dr. Ekberg,
thank you for all the work you do to promote health and well being. You have helped me understand the benefits of IF and am so appreciative of the information you present on this channel with visuals and clear explanations!
Being vegetarian makes the protein piece more challenging and hope you have videos on that!
Thank you so very much!
I have a lot of digestion issues.. sometimes I stop digesting food all together. Either my stomach stops working or everything I eat ends up as diarrhea.
On top of that.. depression.
I am going on my 4th day of only eating once at 4:30pm every day. My energy is wild ngl.. I have noticed I’m doing things I would put off. I had someone ask if I was on some sort of drug 😒 that’s how much energy we are talking.
I can do BPC during winter... But during hot sultry summers in india i take lemon tea.. it's refreshing and doesn't heat up the body
