Just to let old sten and the rest of you know. This info turned my health around. I had to follow it which is equally important but to Dr Ekberg thank you.
I am a medical doctor, a diabetologist. You and your channel have completely changed my approach to the treatment and to the patients. The patients who follow my (your) advice don't need any medication. Unfortuntely, a lot of people don't wont to hear it. But I don't give up .Thank you very much. Dagmar
Please share with your fellow diabetologists! Most of them are still on the whole grains, fruit and vegetables, and keep increasing your medicine kick.
It’s great to see that older more educated individuals can acknowledge opposing arguments and maybe change their own stances on certain issues. Knowledgeability is hard won so we see many individuals who refuse to let go of their previous held beliefs even in light of the weight of evidence disproving them.
@@mlcarver1739 Exactly. I graduated 25 years ago and nowadays experts present on medical conferences , medical journals and publications still the same diet informations.
I am 53. I have fatty liver, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and protein C deficiency. I did fasting and followed a no carb diet with only 1000 calories per day and only drank water. I DIDN'T LOSE AN OUNCE !!
The AMA and it’s lackeys (the medical fraternity) .. make their huge incomes …. FROM SICK PEOPLE.⬅️ The AMA never warns you about the DANGER of CARBS. THEY PROMOTE CARBS ‼️ . 👹. 😎. ☠️. IMO IMO
Dr Ekberg, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for saving my life. I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic in 2017. Did not have the understanding necessary to control my diet. Gained about fifty pounds and ballooned to about 282 lbs at my highest point in September 2020, along with taking several medications. Somehow ran into one of your videos on UA-cam. I found your explanations to be concise and easy to understand. Using your teachings, I've taken a long journey to restore my health, followed your teachings and went Keto, and now also intermittent fasting (8/16). As of today, I've been able to find much better health. No longer need insulin shots. Blood sugar is 90-110 regularly. Down to 231.2 lbs as of today. Thanks to you, I'm able to continue living and able to watch my kids grow and stay alive for my loved ones. I'm eternally grateful. Thank you again! I look forward to each of your videos and will continue to try to be a good health champion for the sake of my family!
@@ulychun I'm glad I ran into his videos at that time. I was pretty desperate. Taking shots and nearly 300 lbs is not sustainable long term. I fully believe that I would have already suffered some heart attack/stroke if I had not run into Ekberg's videos! Just for the record: I became diabetic despite going to the gym five days a week for one hour each day! There is truth to that saying: The battle for weight loss is won in the kitchen, not the gym. I'm glad this man is able to enlighten us like he does.
I found this man a little more than a year ago. At that time I was a borderline diabetic. I started watching these videos every morning and learning how the body works. I soon started a low carb / high healthy fat diet. I started walking more, preferably 3.5 miles every day. Now, I am proud to report that I am no longer even a pre diabetic! Thank you Dr for all of this valuable information! I pray that everyone that finds you, will discover the balance they’ve been seeking. 🙏🏽
The day I was told I had type 2 diabetes I radically changed my diet overnight. The diabetic nurse offered me drugs for it but I said I can reverse this and I did. Plenty of exercise and a massive reduction of sugar my body fought against what I was doing for a few months and then my body clicked into place. It had accepted the change and I felt fantastic. I could feel that my body was thanking me for putting it back on the right track. 2 years down the road and I wont ever go back to the way I used to be. It was as if I was going cold turkey on sugar and then came out the other side. I feel 30 years younger and I look great too. Those 2 factors will keep me from ever going back down the wrong road. It takes will power I know, but when you see yourself in the mirror looking and feeling the best version of yourself you could ever be, that is far and away better than any sugar fix. Every single day I can feel my body thanking me for doing the right thing.
Thank you mentioning something I think needs to be said more often. The body resists the initial changes so it takes time to get back to normal. That is something I was not getting as I was also diagnosed recently and went cold turkey but my glucose levels were not aligning. I have to keep reminding myself it takes at least three months to get things back to some kind of normal so I will keep plugging away with low carb and lots of exercise.
Thanks for this message, i feel as tho my body is fighting the sudden change too, you hit the nail on the head with your body clicking into place! I feel like mine is trying to click into place too, but needs a little bit more time ❤
After nearly 2 years of watching Dr.Ekberg's videos, I finally understand how the body works. His presentations are clear and concise. I wish they would teach this in early childhood. Thank you.
Thank you Sal Lazuka. 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. 😄
Thank You Irma Kalember. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. I'm in a "figure out what the body needs and explain how it works" career. Nutrition is only one aspect of what the body needs. 😄
I started my journey on December 2023, I’m type 2 Diabetic and my blood sugar was up to 170. I started following your videos and already see a huge improvement in my life
@@unapologeticcook7168 Oatmeal is a grain. Grains are bad for you. Even Complex Carbs. The distinction is complex carbs cause your body burning energy through glycogenesis. You want Keto genesis. You need to starve your body of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are unnecessary for the body. Our body needs Protein and fats. Only trace amounts of carbohydrates. Also, in America, we do not really have starvation. You need to eat to satisfy your liver(which means sugaring insulin) and your kidney. The big idea is your body cannot tell the difference between table sugar and carbohydrates. Your body converts both to glucogenesis. Your body needs to run on protein and fat. By the way fat is satiating. Glucogenesis promotes diabetes and cancer pathways in the mitochondria of the human cell. No potatoes, no rice, no bread, milk and juice have too many carbohydrates. You can test your sugar and ketones in your urine. That is a good starting point. You do not want hyperglycemia or over secretion of insulin. You want maybe one glucose spike a day or zero. You do not want 6 sugar spikes a day with carbohydrates. That is where you get into trouble. 30 years of the great american diet can lead to blindness, amputation. or worse heart attack or stroke. 90 million americans have diabetes. Try bacon, eggs, cheese, nuts, coffee with heavy cream and butter, fish and all meat and salad. Do intermittent fasting
Lol. Yes am eating my whole grains and legumes. You were eating processed carbs. I don’t eat sugar, processed carbs. I eat fruits, brown rice, beans, lentils and i don’t have diabetes
I’m 50 and JUST found out I’m insulin and leptin resistant. My glucose is great. My A1c is great. I’ve been morbidly obese for over 20 years! I’ve tried EVERY diet to no avail. I’ve done all the things! Finally I went to a doctor-referred weight loss clinic and they did the RIGHT tests! I started gaining weight when I became a vegetarian over 20 years ago. I didn’t know anything about protein, and I filled up on carbs. Since then, I have been trying to lose weight. I had no idea!!! Intermittent fasting and keeping my carbs under 100 g or even keto, is what my new doctor has recommended! I love your videos! Now that I know this is not not my fault, I can stop hating myself and start fixing this! Your videos are on the top of my playlist!❤❤❤
Ive lost 130lbs at 65 years old. Was over 400. Just wanted to say thank you for changing my life, and saving it. Ive hooked up so many to your videos when people ask how. You have reduced 1000s of lbs through me
I was very surprised when my friend told me about being diagnosed with diabetes and his Dr from the VA advised to go on keto and fasting. After 7 months, totally reversed now.
For prediabetes and diabetes, many doctors still recommend: 1. reduce sugar 2. wholegrain bread 3. low GI rice 4. reduce saturated fat 5. plenty of fruit 6. plenty of veg Reality: delete sugar, delete grains, delete fruit (except low sugar berries), increase natural sources of saturated fat, add veg for flavour (if not lectin sensitive).
Problem is the reality is hard to stomach for most not terribly ill. How do you enjoy your butter without that crispy piece of bread ? Or the cheese without a good glass of wine (and some delicious sweet grapes) ?
@@radam2818 We have different vices. I've always found grains to be meh. After keto conditioning, grains are now gross. Ice cream is actually hard to quit.
I WAS!!! I did these things and my A1C went from 11.9 to 6.9 in three months!!!!!!!!!! Every word this man speaks is true. I've watched hours of his videos and I'm so glad I did. There are others, but this man is amazing.
@@AA-ho5mg Hey there! Breakfast: coffee, black. water w/ a little lemon - (workout and sauna just before lunch) 0 calories until 2pm or so Lunch: 8oz+ of bacon, cheese, broccoli, and onion omelette with avocado, and hot sauce and sour cream. maybe a few berries and some yogurt at the end. no snacks - or MAYBE some cottage cheese, nuts, and charcuterie. 8pm or so Dinner: 2 chicken legs (thigh and drummy), cooked in butter and salt, with veggies (a varied selection of: green beans, broccoli, carrots, celery, mushrooms, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, etc) cooked in the morning's bacon lard, and chicken drippings (single pan dinner). 1/2 serving of dark chocolate, spoonful of natural peanut butter. done eating by 9 or 10 no drinks besides black coffee and water. 1-2 glasses dry dry dry white wine every few days. 1 extra long fast per week of 18-24 hrs. once per week have a treat, like two bites of a piece of cheesecake or a fruit pastry. But ONLY two or three bites, once per week.
this is just an example. i vary my diet widely, but focus on the macro ratios. some days I'd have a crab meat egg scramble, then a ribeye with cauliflower and cheese, or something. Or, cheese, meats, nuts and berries for lunch, taco meat and dark leafy green salad with avocado and sour cream for dinner. THEN, I started to go broke, and have since learned to eat cheaper. At the time, I was varying things more to keep myself on the plan. It was hard at first. Now I go to Aldi and have to remind myself to eat things OTHER than cottage cheese and irregular bacon :)
@@Admin-qj7me I stopped metformin almost immediately after starting it. I only took it for a week or two. That stuff was nasty for me and there are some studies that suggest it counters the benefits of exercise.
Dr. Eckberg provides the highest quality videos! One, his topics are very well organized. Two, he gives good illustrations. Three, he is to the point, without giving us unnecessary, extra ‘fillers’, describing the points concisely and clearly and not going on a ‘tangent’. Four, he enunciates the words very clearly without slurring or talking fast like a machine gun, unlike many others do. Almost forgot, he is very factual and analytical. Superb job!
In one year of hard work I reversed my pre diabetes and lost 110 pounds. But best of all I now have knowledge to continue on with confidence. That’s invaluable. Thank you!!!!
HOw did you do it? I didnt catch in this video how to reverse IR other than to stop eating processed sugar. which arent diabetics and pre diabetics doing that anway?
@@kmp101 stop all refined carbohydrates bread pasta rice pumpkin sweet pumpkin - low GI foods, little fruit other than berries, lots of high quality protein and good fats veges and salads - intermittent fasting 16/8, drink 2-3 litres of water, no alcohol, good sleep, 10,000 steps per day, strength training 2-3 times per week, good sleep
I have continued the healthy keto program and intermittent fasting 16/8, and I have completely given up medications for nearly six months now, and my blood sugar readings are very, very impressive.❤❤
Dr Ekberg, I'd like to thank you with All my heart! Without this information I was on the road to early imminent death... I've been very sick since 2018, and because of you and a Naturopathic doctor in my area I'm finally starting to understand the root of my medical issues and feel better! From the bottom of my liver, thank you!! 💕
I discovered this amazing doctor 9 months ago and he changed my life. I’m 57 and for the first time, feel like I’m truly learning how the body actually works. Nine months ago I began a keto lifestyle and IF and today am off almost all medications. The problem I face - and probably a lot of us- is that our own doctors seem resistant to this correct way of reversing our type 2 diabetes and in fact never even mention insulin resistance. Thank goodness for Dr Ekberg!!
Doctors are taught using the pharmaceutical curriculum in medical schools. They are indoctrinated to treating symptoms with drugs, not curing diseases. Some learn the truth faster than others.
If you watch any other doctor, they leave you with so many questions and confusions. but not with this great doctor, he covers every possible corner of the subject he is talking about. Thank you Dr.Ekberg
Thankfully Sten Ekberg was one of the UA-cam channels that I found when I was researching diet for diabetics after being diagnosed in October 2021. After only 3 months of low carb my A1c went from 7.0 to 5.2. Since then I have lost 15kgs (was 80kg), waist now 38" (was 44" - and my waist is now smaller than my hips!!!), stopped my blood pressure drug, my cholesterol numbers are good and my ALT liver function went from 45 down to 22. I had told the doctor that I would not take a statin and metformin and would try diet first. She wanted me to do all 3 and I said you only change one thing at a time. When I saw her 3 months later I said that I hope she suggests diet to her future patients BEFORE suggesting drugs. I will be getting a scan done at the 1 year mark; I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago but was not giving any suggestion about what to do about it.
Thank you Jo Brown for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@tiffgplu2590 His fatty liver will cause high liver enzyme levels. I also had fatty liver. When I went on a keto diet, the reduction in carbs caused my fatty liver to reverse which lowered both my SGOT from 137 to 35 and SGPT from 204 to 57. My SGPT is still above normal (44) but I think it will drop lower the longer I'm on the diet. I was only on the diet for 2 months when I had the labs run. BTW, i started the keto diet to get rid of my fatty liver. I've had it for 20 years too and was scared of needing a liver transplant and my regular doctors weren't giving me any read advice beside telling me to lose weight. I had to find videos like this to figure out that the root cause was carbs.
My mother has T2D. I tried to help her but she refuses to clean up her diet. She rather take meds. I on the other hand refuse to become diabetic. At my heaviest I was 330lbs. High blood pressure, always hungry due to insulin resistance, not feeling good, everything hurt……. Today one year later I am down to 280lbs, blood pressure normal , I am no longer hungry all the time, aches and pains are much less and my brain fog/memory is so much better. All my blood work is now in the normal range to include triglycerides, hdl and ldl. What did I do to change my life? Well I learned about sugar and insulin resistance by listening to videos like this. Then I completely changed my diet. Whole Foods only. Good protein, good fats and low good carbs. No longer eat any processed foods. I also fast 18/6 everyday. I only eat between 12 and 6 and eat two healthy meals. I have to say detoxing from sugar was difficult but after two weeks I was 100% better. Now I can go 18 hour’s fasting without being hungry. Now I workout every other day for two hours-walking and light weights. I am still losing weight and hope in another year or so I’ll be at my ideal weight. Don’t be like my mom. Make changes for a healthy lifestyle. You won’t regret it.
You cracked the weight loss code for me. I'm down 7lbs following these guidelines. Mornings were where I was doing everything wrong. At 55 my insulin resistance is very high in the mornings. I switched to a small serving of high fat high protein snack for breakfast. A decent lunch, and another small high fat high protein dinner. Everything has changed for the better.
@@cristianabarlan7257 I eat a small handful of mixed nuts about every 2 hours and drink water throughout the day. I never get hungry, and the weight continues to drop.
@@wikhart9269 not if the snack is low carb. Nuts in small quantities are low carb and will not spike insulin. It does suppress hunger though which is why my weight continues to drop.
Dr. Ekberg I am 58 years old. I went through menopause in my early 50s. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid about 3 years ago and had two glands removed. I discovered your videos about 4 months ago. I started at 208 lbs (June 2022) and today I am 172 lbs (September 2022) by OMAD at least 18 hours between meals, walking 2 miles at least for days a week, cutting out sugar, limiting carbs to 50 mg per day, cutting out grains and cereals, eating only whole foods (no processed foods). Bp is 124/83 (stopped blood pressure medicine), A1C is 5.3. Lots of energy, feel fantastic and I am eternally grateful for your careful explanation on what the issue was regarding sugar, glucose and insulin resistance.
Thanks Doc, I am 64, went Keto last year. I removed 35 pounds and reversed my arthritis. I was 175# and had trouble getting out of a chair. Now I feel like I did at 35.
@@pkvlogs5891 hope this answer is helpful after such a long time. He is saying decrease your carbohydrates intake fruits and sweet things trigger insulin which is not good for you. Don't snack.
Hello Dr Eckbert. I've been following your work for about 6 months, and you changed my life for better. I've tried few different diets and none of them worked , I think it's because I didn't have a clue how Insulin plays most important role, and you help me understand how important it is. 3 months ago I started Keto/ Intermittent fasting, went slow, from 16/8 to OMAD, since then. I've lost 37 pounds and I never felt better in my life. Thank you so much, you are changing so many peoples lives for better.
Thank you Na Vrh Brda Vrba Mrda for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Doctor, that was the best presentation of ever seen and I learned more then all the supposedly medical professionals telling me what to do, my entire life thank you so much!
Discovering you, changed my life, I am now rid off Fatty liver, my Gout, and I lost more than 20 kilos in less than 6 months, I have been subscribed and following you for almost 6 months as well. I have been prescribed with an Amlodipine 10mg which increased from 5 mg, and now I am off of it, and my blood pressure had been normal without it for 2 months now...Thank you so so much...Please continue with your enlightenment...More Power to you my Doctor,
May l ask was your bp low and high ? Got higher at night? May l ask what you did to get well? I'm lost and trying to understand? Is plant base and veggies ok? Keto? Or carivore? Or did you just stop the sugar and bread ??? Pls would live a little guidance
If most doctors were like you, this world would be a much better place. Thank you for telling the truth, it takes so much courage, dr Ekberg. You are a true hero!
I'm so thankful I discovered your videos a year ago. I'm 48 years old and spent my life counting calories, losing weight, gaining it back plus some. I feel a sense of peace that I have never known. Because of what I have learned from you, not only am I healthy but I can teach my husband and children the right way to eat. My daughter is a senior in high school. She came home last week and said she had a teacher going over health in class. Telling everyone to be sure and eat 3 times a day with snacks and breakfast was the most important meal of the day!🤦♀️ I'm so thankful that my daughter knows better! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for all that you do. Sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you.❤
My friend just lost 20 pounds on a diet that has her eating every 2 hours their food she buys in packages. I said “ you are spiking your insulin constantly “ but I shut up because she is happy

Excellent perspective of the metabolic syndrome. I can’t understand how it is possible that some medical and nutrition schools are still teaching the wrong old school theory. Thank you Very much for this lectures.
I saw your video around February this year, I went straight into a 62 hour fast after never fasting before. Maybe I should of built up to this with shorter fast, thats me though. What was remarkable was how my back pain went down to practically nothing, I slept like a baby with deep peaceful dreams and I had mental clarity at times that was amazing. The day after I broke the fast and started to eat again I felt like I was 20 years ago, my thoughts everything. It was a amazing.
Doc this is one of my favorite videos now. I remember going for my yearly at the beginning of this year, and my primary saying "your livers numbers decreaed, all your numbers went down significantly, Good Job!" I had lost weight and began fasting. Thanks Doc! You're the best man...
I am insulin resistant in my early 50s, eating too much and eating junk. I was diagnosed with prediabetic in my 60s, A1C vary from 5.6-5.7 blood glucose 107-117, up and down for over a decade. The only reason my test results hold me at prediabetic level is that I am very active, exercise and practicing sports all my life since I was a kid. I started IF last year, 16-20 hours daily, eating healthy, walking 2 hours daily, hiking weekends. Last week my tests came back with A1C 5.5, blglucose 99. I expected it lower than that but I am right at the border limit. May be my age, am now 70. I heard older people and elderly have a different measurements and that show higher than younger people. Isn't it? I strongly believe exercise is very important and necessary for a healthy life.
@@georgesmkhu8290 thank you. Am working on it. More resistance training and more walking. I am glad to let you know I got blood glucose fasting test this morning with a reading 75. Previous many days was below 90.
Mary, you sound just like me! I am 68 and pre diabetic. I am curious what diet/book/ you used as a guide on what to eat.If you have any advice to share I would love it. I am active, walk a lot. I also work. So, I know it’s my diet. Thank you.
Hi Sten, Lee here in Atlantic City New Jersey. I have been watching most of your videos for awhile and I have learned a lot. I read a lot, I am a avid bookworm, and I am always reading a variety of subjects including the latest trends and discovered facts in health and biology. You definitely know what you are talking about and it is my pleasure to listen to you telling it like it really is concerning caring for your body. My experience with doctors is that most are lazy with their diagnosis and also obviously not knowledgeable about their specialties. Very frustrating trying to find a good doctor and to even have a conversation. Fortunately I have been lucky enough to have been healthy most of my life. But now that I am a "senior citizen" my body is going through challenges and changes. The reality is that it's best to just be proactive in my health care and constantly educate myself so I know what to do to stay healthy because from what I've seen and heard the health care industry is not interested in helping people stay healthy or become healthy because that's bad for business. So I want to say thank you for your thoughtfulness and education in your videos. I continue to learn a lot. I appreciate your time and effort to help us to be aware of how to get healthy and stay healthy. Oh yeah, I am now 69.
Hej dr Sten. Gillar alltid dina videor. Mycket bra information. Önskar att jag hade kunnat den här informationen tidigt i livet. Jag har inte levt nyttigt. Jag har operat hjärtat nyligen, när jag var 39. Mindre kul. Jag har levt/ lever låg kolhydrat nu. Och försöker leva nyttigt. Tack så mycket, för det du gör.
Completely random comment - anyone else impressed by the way he's able to seemingly write backwards without any issues? Quite possibly just a trick of the camera and editing but my brain focused on that so heavily for a minute or two that I had to watch back the video to actually listen to what he said 🤣 (thanks adhd)
Love your work Dr. Ekberg you never disappoint. My health has tremendously improved because of your work...Always looking forward to your videos every Friday. May God continue blessing you and your work❤
If your watching, I love your videos. So so helpful, thank you, I love you. You are the shiznit. I've been living this for 3 month's. No processed sugar or processed carbs for 3 months, I've lost 28 pounds and I feel amazing.

@@deedee2218 I switched over to omad with my only meal at 2-3 PM and paired it with keto. Used AG1 to supplement whatever I was missing or could not eat and got the majority of my animal protein from eggs. The rest comes from pea, hemp, nuts + actual food. Net carbs never go over 25. I was also exercising fasted every day
I used to think the AMA, NIH, CDC and FDA looked out for the people. Boy, was I wrong. They only look out for big pharma. That's why people working in these organizations go back and forth, making big bucks. Also, big pharma provides the majority of the funding for these organizations. Thank goodness for this site.
There just could not be a more perfect explanation. Thank you for this thorough explanation in layman's terms. It's beyond appreciated and will force me to make the appropriate changes to my diet. ❤
Insulin resistance (is a surviival mechanism). - overload meaning eating too much sugar and carbs) Causes 1. Sugar 50% glucose and 50% fructose and alcohol (fatty liver) 2. Carbohydrates and starches Reverse:: 1. Don't eat sugar and don't drink alcohol 2. Know your carbs intake (e.g.. 30 grams a day mostly from green leafy, veggies, berries, nuts) 3. Do not eat more than you need ( 12 oz of meat and 1 aTbsp of butter per meal) 4. Distribute your food properly during the day 5. Know your supplements needed
Thank you soooo much Dr Ekberg, I have struggled for 30 years with my weight, I finally understand what your saying, and I am losing weight, I have lost a hundred pounds before, and lots of pounds on top of that… it’s a miracle. I am losing this extra weight for the last time. God bless you
Have diligently studied overcoming IR in books, lectures, UA-cam, and the web for the past 4 years and this was a scintillating, excellent video. Next time I present a talk on IR, hopefully I can emulate you.
Truly a remarkable piece of work, his explanatory skills are so well developed, admirable indeed, if you want to save your life listen to this guy, thanks to him I incorporated gradually walking, IF, OMAD and low carb life style. Med free for over a year now and my Dr says is like a miracle. well the miracle was starting to make a difference and listening to Dr Eckberg.

Thank you Dr . You make us understand so beautifully. I feel so wise after listening to your detail explanation and I highly grateful to you. Gratitude from India
I like this guys approach. He does a good job at breaking down the problem and even pointing out the faults of the allopathic approach to problems with medications. As a physician myself, I’ve always used a holistic approach to diabetes and insulin resistance. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the people I see for diabetes are extremely reluctant to change their lifestyle as to their diet and exercise. That to me is the absolute most important factor when it comes to this topic. I have seen people reverse their condition with and without medication. The key is their attitude about how they will live their lives.
I'm a little confused .l have pcos and some say it's insulin issues. Does one do keto or carnivore? And if have fatty liver and suggestions ? I worried as online they say help with insulin but l see lots if salads ? Are salads OK? Fiber? Whom can you recommend cause lm don't want to die like my grandpa diabetes and liver issues
Please look up what foods you can eat on a Keto diet!! Yes you can eat salads! Strawberries raspberries blackberries plums etc. grass fed butter olive oil, lots more! Please look into it . Also cauliflower cabbage runner beans, french beans, courgette olive oil.😊
I quit Cokes and sugar or trying man it's difficult ,thanks doc for doing these videos I lost 12 pounds , fasting more and more .thanks for all you share
Thank very easy to understand and do. I just started after a mini stroke. I'm ready for the challenge. I'm driven to getting my health back with your help. So thank you and God where ready to go. Thanks for the video.
Lot of Learnings from you for last 2 years. In due course i was able to reverse my own IR and now I help many people around me to reverse many metabolic disorders. I am so thankful for all the stuff I had learnt from you. Feeling grateful.
Thank you Celebrating Life with Muthu. Most people think they know something when they have had the slightest exposure to a topic, but I don't think you really know something until you can explain it to someone else. You have obviously taken it to a higher standard and I salute you for it. I wish there were millions of people like you who could help spread the message about health. 😄
I appreciate that he doesn’t vilify the body. The body is amazing and many of its parts: cholesterol, insulin, fat, and hormones are framed as the bad actors when in reality what we eat, and the chemicals polluting our water, air, and foods, are harming us and the body is doing the best it can.
Thank you for video and teaching true health by choosing the right diet. I do have type 2 diabetes since 11 years, starting with 12,1% hb1Ac and an erysipelas at my foot, right-hand side. I managed to decrease my hb1Ac down to 6% in 3 or 4 years. But I had a hard time to get my weight down to a more healthy level. I got frustated and eventually fall back in bad habits in my diet and stopped taking my drugs (Metformin and others). Last december I got an erysipelas on the other side and went to the hospital. My hb1Ac was 12,6% and I had to start taking insulin. This was a punch in my face and I understood, I had to something, before they had to amputade one or more toes. I found the concept of intermittent fasting and lchf diet. It took me a few weeks to adapt. But it worked. After 4-5 month I could stop taking insulin and now, after 8 month, I lost 20 kg (45 lbs) weight (still 35 kg to much) and could even reduce the amount of Metformin. Everything with the advice of a PhD. My question: Does it make sense to continue taking Metformin (currently 500mg - 0 - 1000mg). Does it has an effect on blood glucose, when eating lchf diet?
For years I had bleeding ulcers, put me into the intensive care twice and once caused a mild heart attack..........got bad advice from doctors that didn't help and I believe aggravated it .......been watching you for two years now following your advice.......no gut issues.......thank you thank you thank you Dr.
Great video as always! It is funny to see clickbait title "Top 10 secrets"- but that's how the algorithm suggests videos. Your videos have so much more in depth knowledge than the title suggests. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
I walk an hour every day. My glucose has gone to 135. I eat lots of vegetables and chicken. I’ve lost muscle and weigh 94 lbs. I have Hashimoto, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis and di not what to do. I think I have insulin tolerance. My primary doesn’t have a clue about all these health issues of mine. My blood test shows normal. I measure my glucose and it doesn’t seem normal. Thank you for your thorough explanation of Insulin’s resistance. I will continue to follow your savvy channel
To challenge orthodoxy with critical thinking, leads to deeper understanding. I believe that you, Dr Ekberg, provide the necessary analytical tools that viewers can use to make their lives better. Thank you for turning knowledge into wisdom.
Thank you tom g. 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. 😄
No sugar is mainly what he’s suggesting and low carbs I’m thinking. I do agree. Eg sugary drinks and pastry and such . Do hope this help. It has helped me.
Wow. So glad you are here and are talking about this! You are a life saver❤. I learned the past year I was insulin resistant. It took me a while to have me realize it. I had gained 35 pounds when I turned 72 due to bad eating habits and a broken ankle. I have now lost the weight the hard way. I got sick from a diet plan and turned to did intermittent fasting. The diet plan I went on is called slim 4 Life. It is a good plan but not if one is insolent resistant. It actually made me very sick. It involved 3 healthy meals, their snacks in between meals and fruit 2 times a day along with their pills. I am so insulin resistant that I really cannot eat without gaining weight. I realize now that I have been insulin resistant for a few years. I talked with my doctor about it last January who didn’t suggest doing anything about it. I don’t think I was taken seriously. I believe for me this started when I became post menopausal. I am now 73 years old. People have told me for years I’ve always looked 15 years younger than whatever age I am at the time but my health needs help. I want to reverse insulin resistance. ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr! So clear and understandable 🙏🏻You are so helpful. I have been low-carb for about 5 months; BP down, 13% of body weight lost!
@@arvindacharya4274 true that...basically it's all about profits with this company's and food franchise and restaurants and big pharma...if ur healthy and free of health problems and don't depend on there drugs , and addictive food then there against that..
Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg. You broke this down perfectly for a common man like myself. Keep fighting the good fight. I value your videos they are saving lives.
I was never told about insulin resistance. I am an ICU RN and only learned about it after I was diagnosed with diabetes. Researching it and on labs my total insulin in blood was doubled from normal. Lab done by my request. Diabetes doesn’t run in my family. So have made changes to diet
Dear Dr. Sten Ekberg Three years ago, I discovered that my A1c was 15 and my fasting sugar level is high, as well as after eating. In emergency I was put on insulin injections, but I was feeling a sharp drop in my sugar level to the point where I lost control of my nerves and my body as a whole Then I saw to my doctor and asked for a c-peptide test, the result was 1.8. He asked to stop the insulin( I only took it for three days 8 units dropped to 6) and put me on Janumet and also I was feeling a sharp drop in my sugar level !! After suffering for the month I read about the keto diet and watched your amazing videos and after three months my A1c was 6.6 then 5.4 after another three months and the result of the Homa IR was 0.58% and the fasting insulin was 2.7. and fasting glucose was 87 at the same test of homa ir Now, fasting sugar levels always under 99, and after eating, do not exceed 120 and sometimes 95 I am out of the keto or low carp diet for two years and I eat some fruits and very little brown bread and boiled basmati rice I have been eating average meals in quantity for nearly two years !! What is the explanation for this case, especially when I am out of the keto diet and things seem normal and I do not have any known symptoms of diabetes or even insulin resistance?! My last A1c 5 months ago was 4.4%. Sorry for the length, but I wanted to share with you my experience... Please guide me what should I do and what is my condition?!
So happy to have found you Dr. Ekberg, everything just makes so much sense now, followed your advice for 3 months now and I feel amazing and have lost over a stone in weight 😀 finding it hard to get other people to listen though, people are just so defensive towards carbs it's insane 😂
Well done. It is truly worth it. I've lost a total of 2 stone in 10 months. I was recently carrying groceries weighing 1 stone and realised that I had lost twice that amount and thought how much my knees and lower back must be appreciating not carrying around all that extra weight.
Yes. People are very defensive of bread and sugar. Once I started telling people I no longer ate bread or sugar, they began delivering cookies, candy, and bread to my door! No joke. My neighbors panicked when I told them I no longer eat bread. They thought I would die without bread. Unbelievable.
The biggest secret I learned from your videos is that every food has its harmonal effect . I have been messing around with calorie deficit crap. now i know why i was not losing fat but muscle and weak body until I saw your videos on intermittent fasting and high fat diets thanks for helping and my belly is shrinking day by day I was stuck at 100 and in three weeks with OMAD and weight training today my weight is 91 KG 😀
Dr. Ekberg could you possibly do a video on leaky gut, I know a lot of people are said to have it, and you do such a wonderful job at explaining everything so precisely. I enjoy your videos so much and I send them to all my friends and family.Thank you for all your wonderful videos keep them coming
Dr Ekberg thank you for being such honest physician Also if this contributes, my years of researching has let me to believe that our body is capable to breakdown the fat we eat into glucose as it needs, so there is no need of eating sugar or carbs, also we tend to metabolise fat way easier than carbs. Thank you sir
Thank you ďr Ekberg You were my first inspiration I leave here my experience not to get pride, because even God do not like this, but to encourage people. As others, by their writings, encouraged me. They gaved me hope and strength. My turn now. A1c From 10.7 to 6.2 within 2 months, then 4.9 within 3 months more. 64yo. I lost 22kg. From 100 to 78 today. Mostly omad. Once a month 48 hours fasting, walking 4-6 km a day. No more than 50g of carbs a day except some experiments. I WISH FROM DEEP MY HEART TO ALL THEY TRY FOR THEIR HEALTH FULLY SUCCESS SOON. DO NOT GIVE UP HAVE FAITH.
Can I ask you from where you get all of this info? Awesome way of explaining, you should be a teacher. Well in one way you are. You are teaching through your channel and I am one of your student. Thank you for making us healthier in a natural way.
I love your videos and have gotten so much from them, that being said…where are the 10 tips to reverse insulin resistance? I caught 1 (don’t ingest so many carbs) and must have missed the rest.
Thanks to you and recent researches I have lowered my high cholesterol and blood suger level and yet I'm steel trying to decrease it more ...3 months ago my fbs was 376 my a1c 10 . Cholesterol was 386 ...believe it after 3 months my Fbs 150 cholesterol 299 a1c 8.8 ...simply I have changed my style of life you were right
I am convinced that this is what caused my condition. The doctors have told me they have no idea what causes it. However I am off of medication and they have told me it's gone now. I think fasting and low carbs are the answer. I just gotta get the rest of the weight off.
I'm 57 years old. And I remember back when I was a child. My mother heard that cooking on fat is unhealthy so she cooked on sunflower seeds oil. Why was fat thrashed and flower and sugar favorit. In ,50 years to how many people was recommended not to use fat. Today I'm cooking on fat, using butter and olive oil. I feel good ( little ower weight but ok)
If you want to see how the anti-fat hysteria/myth started, watch Nina Teicholz's videos on the topic. The villain of the story is one of the greatest quacks of all time.

Please share with your fellow diabetologists! Most of them are still on the whole grains, fruit and vegetables, and keep increasing your medicine kick.
It’s great to see that older more educated individuals can acknowledge opposing arguments and maybe change their own stances on certain issues. Knowledgeability is hard won so we see many individuals who refuse to let go of their previous held beliefs even in light of the weight of evidence disproving them.

Dr Ekberg, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for saving my life. I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic in 2017. Did not have the understanding necessary to control my diet. Gained about fifty pounds and ballooned to about 282 lbs at my highest point in September 2020, along with taking several medications. Somehow ran into one of your videos on UA-cam. I found your explanations to be concise and easy to understand. Using your teachings, I've taken a long journey to restore my health, followed your teachings and went Keto, and now also intermittent fasting (8/16). As of today, I've been able to find much better health. No longer need insulin shots. Blood sugar is 90-110 regularly. Down to 231.2 lbs as of today. Thanks to you, I'm able to continue living and able to watch my kids grow and stay alive for my loved ones. I'm eternally grateful. Thank you again! I look forward to each of your videos and will continue to try to be a good health champion for the sake of my family!
Thanks for your honest and emotional testimony ! I fully relate to your experience ! Thanks to Dr Ekberg !
@@ulychun I'm glad I ran into his videos at that time. I was pretty desperate. Taking shots and nearly 300 lbs is not sustainable long term. I fully believe that I would have already suffered some heart attack/stroke if I had not run into Ekberg's videos! Just for the record: I became diabetic despite going to the gym five days a week for one hour each day! There is truth to that saying: The battle for weight loss is won in the kitchen, not the gym. I'm glad this man is able to enlighten us like he does.
Dr. Ekberg is not kidding when he talks about life saving videos!
WOW! That's pretty awesome 😎
what a champ
I found this man a little more than a year ago. At that time I was a borderline diabetic. I started watching these videos every morning and learning how the body works. I soon started a low carb / high healthy fat diet. I started walking more, preferably 3.5 miles every day. Now, I am proud to report that I am no longer even a pre diabetic!
Thank you Dr for all of this valuable information! I pray that everyone that finds you, will discover the balance they’ve been seeking. 🙏🏽
Congrats! 👍🥂 Bravo! You motivated me.

@@ryangalvan1669 Yes, thats something I'd like to know as well!😂😅😂
THAT'S AMAZING!!!😊😊😊
The day I was told I had type 2 diabetes I radically changed my diet overnight. The diabetic nurse offered me drugs for it but I said I can reverse this and I did. Plenty of exercise and a massive reduction of sugar my body fought against what I was doing for a few months and then my body clicked into place. It had accepted the change and I felt fantastic. I could feel that my body was thanking me for putting it back on the right track. 2 years down the road and I wont ever go back to the way I used to be. It was as if I was going cold turkey on sugar and then came out the other side. I feel 30 years younger and I look great too. Those 2 factors will keep me from ever going back down the wrong road. It takes will power I know, but when you see yourself in the mirror looking and feeling the best version of yourself you could ever be, that is far and away better than any sugar fix. Every single day I can feel my body thanking me for doing the right thing.
Thank you mentioning something I think needs to be said more often. The body resists the initial changes so it takes time to get back to normal. That is something I was not getting as I was also diagnosed recently and went cold turkey but my glucose levels were not aligning. I have to keep reminding myself it takes at least three months to get things back to some kind of normal so I will keep plugging away with low carb and lots of exercise.
I feel the same way.
Thanks for this message, i feel as tho my body is fighting the sudden change too, you hit the nail on the head with your body clicking into place! I feel like mine is trying to click into place too, but needs a little bit more time ❤
After nearly 2 years of watching Dr.Ekberg's videos, I finally understand how the body works. His presentations are clear and concise. I wish they would teach this in early childhood. Thank you.
Me too. I have learned so much. I feel like I want to go in nutrition career. He is so awsome.
My goodness no, they can’t teach that in schools. It would bankrupt the pharmaceutical industry. And our poor PCPs. 😉

@@allfunnydogsstories2129 yup…we can’t have that. Millions of jobs. Trillions of Dollars.
I started my journey on December 2023, I’m type 2 Diabetic and my blood sugar was up to 170. I started following your videos and already see a huge improvement in my life
I went from diabetic to non diabetic in 4 months. Do not eat any carbohydrates at all. You can do it. Your life is in the balance.
Even complex carbs? What about oatmeal?
@@unapologeticcook7168 Oatmeal is a grain. Grains are bad for you. Even Complex Carbs. The distinction is complex carbs cause your body burning energy through glycogenesis. You want Keto genesis. You need to starve your body of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are unnecessary for the body. Our body needs Protein and fats. Only trace amounts of carbohydrates. Also, in America, we do not really have starvation. You need to eat to satisfy your liver(which means sugaring insulin) and your kidney. The big idea is your body cannot tell the difference between table sugar and carbohydrates. Your body converts both to glucogenesis. Your body needs to run on protein and fat. By the way fat is satiating. Glucogenesis promotes diabetes and cancer pathways in the mitochondria of the human cell. No potatoes, no rice, no bread, milk and juice have too many carbohydrates. You can test your sugar and ketones in your urine. That is a good starting point. You do not want hyperglycemia or over secretion of insulin. You want maybe one glucose spike a day or zero. You do not want 6 sugar spikes a day with carbohydrates. That is where you get into trouble. 30 years of the great american diet can lead to blindness, amputation. or worse heart attack or stroke. 90 million americans have diabetes. Try bacon, eggs, cheese, nuts, coffee with heavy cream and butter, fish and all meat and salad. Do intermittent fasting
@@unapologeticcook7168oatmeal still raises sugar and insulin. It’s also a gluten food. That can cause leaky gut and stomach issues.
Those raise your blood sugar as well.
Lol. Yes am eating my whole grains and legumes. You were eating processed carbs. I don’t eat sugar, processed carbs. I eat fruits, brown rice, beans, lentils and i don’t have diabetes
Dear Doctor, the only and biggest problem is that most doctors do not approach this matter as they are supposed to like you do. Thank you so much.
I’m 50 and JUST found out I’m insulin and leptin resistant. My glucose is great. My A1c is great. I’ve been morbidly obese for over 20 years! I’ve tried EVERY diet to no avail. I’ve done all the things!
Finally I went to a doctor-referred weight loss clinic and they did the RIGHT tests!
I started gaining weight when I became a vegetarian over 20 years ago. I didn’t know anything about protein, and I filled up on carbs. Since then, I have been trying to lose weight. I had no idea!!!
Intermittent fasting and keeping my carbs under 100 g or even keto, is what my new doctor has recommended!
I love your videos! Now that I know this is not not my fault, I can stop hating myself and start fixing this! Your videos are on the top of my playlist!❤❤❤
Ive lost 130lbs at 65 years old. Was over 400. Just wanted to say thank you for changing my life, and saving it. Ive hooked up so many to your videos when people ask how. You have reduced 1000s of lbs through me

Well done, keep it up for another 50lbs at least.
Fantastic!!!
Congratulations!👏👏
Have you needed skin reduction therapy? Have you done colonics or coffee enemas?
I was very surprised when my friend told me about being diagnosed with diabetes and his Dr from the VA advised to go on keto and fasting. After 7 months, totally reversed now.
Thank You Sharon Tharp. You ran into an enlightened doctor. Congratulations 😄
Tell your friend congratulations
Wow! I wonder if he or a relative tried it and saw it works?
That doc is a keeper!
Your so lucky. Those doctors are very rare.
For prediabetes and diabetes, many doctors still recommend:
1. reduce sugar
2. wholegrain bread
3. low GI rice
4. reduce saturated fat
5. plenty of fruit
6. plenty of veg
Reality: delete sugar, delete grains, delete fruit (except low sugar berries), increase natural sources of saturated fat, add veg for flavour (if not lectin sensitive).
So keto/ketovore?
Problem is the reality is hard to stomach for most not terribly ill. How do you enjoy your butter without that crispy piece of bread ? Or the cheese without a good glass of wine (and some delicious sweet grapes) ?

What were you eating for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
@@AA-ho5mg Hey there!
Breakfast: coffee, black. water w/ a little lemon - (workout and sauna just before lunch)
0 calories until
2pm or so Lunch: 8oz+ of bacon, cheese, broccoli, and onion omelette with avocado, and hot sauce and sour cream. maybe a few berries and some yogurt at the end.
no snacks - or MAYBE some cottage cheese, nuts, and charcuterie.
8pm or so Dinner: 2 chicken legs (thigh and drummy), cooked in butter and salt, with veggies (a varied selection of: green beans, broccoli, carrots, celery, mushrooms, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, etc) cooked in the morning's bacon lard, and chicken drippings (single pan dinner). 1/2 serving of dark chocolate, spoonful of natural peanut butter.
done eating by 9 or 10
no drinks besides black coffee and water.
1-2 glasses dry dry dry white wine every few days.
1 extra long fast per week of 18-24 hrs.
once per week have a treat, like two bites of a piece of cheesecake or a fruit pastry. But ONLY two or three bites, once per week.
this is just an example. i vary my diet widely, but focus on the macro ratios. some days I'd have a crab meat egg scramble, then a ribeye with cauliflower and cheese, or something. Or, cheese, meats, nuts and berries for lunch, taco meat and dark leafy green salad with avocado and sour cream for dinner.
THEN, I started to go broke, and have since learned to eat cheaper. At the time, I was varying things more to keep myself on the plan. It was hard at first. Now I go to Aldi and have to remind myself to eat things OTHER than cottage cheese and irregular bacon :)
Did you stop the metformin after reversing or before?
@@Admin-qj7me I stopped metformin almost immediately after starting it. I only took it for a week or two. That stuff was nasty for me and there are some studies that suggest it counters the benefits of exercise.

Dr Ekberg, I'd like to thank you with All my heart! Without this information I was on the road to early imminent death... I've been very sick since 2018, and because of you and a Naturopathic doctor in my area I'm finally starting to understand the root of my medical issues and feel better! From the bottom of my liver, thank you!! 💕
I discovered this amazing doctor 9 months ago and he changed my life. I’m 57 and for the first time, feel like I’m truly learning how the body actually works. Nine months ago I began a keto lifestyle and IF and today am off almost all medications. The problem I face - and probably a lot of us- is that our own doctors seem resistant to this correct way of reversing our type 2 diabetes and in fact never even mention insulin resistance. Thank goodness for Dr Ekberg!!
Well they would literally go out of business if they treated everybody correctly ;) Most doctors nowadays are totally hypocritical.
The only thing my 'doctor' does for me is drive up my blood pressure!
m
Doctors are taught using the pharmaceutical curriculum in medical schools. They are indoctrinated to treating symptoms with drugs, not curing diseases. Some learn the truth faster than others.
Did you have high blood pressure ? Could l ask what you dealt with ?
If you watch any other doctor, they leave you with so many questions and confusions. but not with this great doctor, he covers every possible corner of the subject he is talking about. Thank you Dr.Ekberg
Try Dr Eric Berg. He has 2500 videos out to date!
Adapt Your Life channel is good. And so is Dr Ken Berry.
Thankfully Sten Ekberg was one of the UA-cam channels that I found when I was researching diet for diabetics after being diagnosed in October 2021. After only 3 months of low carb my A1c went from 7.0 to 5.2. Since then I have lost 15kgs (was 80kg), waist now 38" (was 44" - and my waist is now smaller than my hips!!!), stopped my blood pressure drug, my cholesterol numbers are good and my ALT liver function went from 45 down to 22. I had told the doctor that I would not take a statin and metformin and would try diet first. She wanted me to do all 3 and I said you only change one thing at a time. When I saw her 3 months later I said that I hope she suggests diet to her future patients BEFORE suggesting drugs. I will be getting a scan done at the 1 year mark; I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago but was not giving any suggestion about what to do about it.
That's amazing news..
Would love to know how to. Lower liver levels mine is 70-80 sgpt and 45-50 sgot
Thank you Jo Brown for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
@@tiffgplu2590 His fatty liver will cause high liver enzyme levels. I also had fatty liver. When I went on a keto diet, the reduction in carbs caused my fatty liver to reverse which lowered both my SGOT from 137 to 35 and SGPT from 204 to 57. My SGPT is still above normal (44) but I think it will drop lower the longer I'm on the diet. I was only on the diet for 2 months when I had the labs run. BTW, i started the keto diet to get rid of my fatty liver. I've had it for 20 years too and was scared of needing a liver transplant and my regular doctors weren't giving me any read advice beside telling me to lose weight. I had to find videos like this to figure out that the root cause was carbs.
Which of your successful methods should we focus on implementing the most to get off of hypertension meds ????
80 kg weight with a waist of 44?
My mother has T2D. I tried to help her but she refuses to clean up her diet. She rather take meds. I on the other hand refuse to become diabetic. At my heaviest I was 330lbs. High blood pressure, always hungry due to insulin resistance, not feeling good, everything hurt……. Today one year later I am down to 280lbs, blood pressure normal , I am no longer hungry all the time, aches and pains are much less and my brain fog/memory is so much better. All my blood work is now in the normal range to include triglycerides, hdl and ldl. What did I do to change my life? Well I learned about sugar and insulin resistance by listening to videos like this. Then I completely changed my diet. Whole Foods only. Good protein, good fats and low good carbs. No longer eat any processed foods. I also fast 18/6 everyday. I only eat between 12 and 6 and eat two healthy meals. I have to say detoxing from sugar was difficult but after two weeks I was 100% better. Now I can go 18 hour’s fasting without being hungry. Now I workout every other day for two hours-walking and light weights. I am still losing weight and hope in another year or so I’ll be at my ideal weight. Don’t be like my mom. Make changes for a healthy lifestyle. You won’t regret it.
You cracked the weight loss code for me. I'm down 7lbs following these guidelines. Mornings were where I was doing everything wrong. At 55 my insulin resistance is very high in the mornings. I switched to a small serving of high fat high protein snack for breakfast. A decent lunch, and another small high fat high protein dinner. Everything has changed for the better.
Can you give a example of a day eating please 🙏i have some problem and also i am very hungry always
@@cristianabarlan7257 I eat a small handful of mixed nuts about every 2 hours and drink water throughout the day. I never get hungry, and the weight continues to drop.
@@cristianabarlan7257 having a snack every 2 hours spikes insulin. Dr.boz ist very interesting also.
@@wikhart9269 🙏
@@wikhart9269 not if the snack is low carb. Nuts in small quantities are low carb and will not spike insulin. It does suppress hunger though which is why my weight continues to drop.
Dr. Ekberg I am 58 years old. I went through menopause in my early 50s. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid about 3 years ago and had two glands removed. I discovered your videos about 4 months ago. I started at 208 lbs (June 2022) and today I am 172 lbs (September 2022) by OMAD at least 18 hours between meals, walking 2 miles at least for days a week, cutting out sugar, limiting carbs to 50 mg per day, cutting out grains and cereals, eating only whole foods (no processed foods). Bp is 124/83 (stopped blood pressure medicine), A1C is 5.3. Lots of energy, feel fantastic and I am eternally grateful for your careful explanation on what the issue was regarding sugar, glucose and insulin resistance.
Thanks Doc, I am 64,
went Keto last year. I removed 35 pounds and reversed my arthritis. I was 175# and had trouble getting out of a chair. Now I feel like I did at 35.
Great job; keep it up 👍
Thank you for sharing. It's encouraging for others to hear.
Hello can u tell me inshort and easy way what is he saying thank you it wil be very helpfull to me
@@pkvlogs5891 hope this answer is helpful after such a long time. He is saying decrease your carbohydrates intake fruits and sweet things trigger insulin which is not good for you. Don't snack.
I'd like to know how did you reversed your arthritis. Since I have told not to eat meat because of the uric acid that will make 😮earthritis worse.
Hello Dr Eckbert.
I've been following your work for about 6 months, and you changed my life for better.
I've tried few different diets and none of them worked , I think it's because I didn't have a clue how Insulin plays most important role, and you help me understand how important it is.
3 months ago I started Keto/ Intermittent fasting, went slow, from 16/8 to OMAD, since then.
I've lost 37 pounds and I never felt better in my life.
Thank you so much, you are changing so many peoples lives for better.
Thank you Na Vrh Brda Vrba Mrda for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Doctor, that was the best presentation of ever seen and I learned more then all the supposedly medical professionals telling me what to do, my entire life thank you so much!
What do you think of different blood types and diets? Like O positive being meat eaters?
Discovering you, changed my life, I am now rid off Fatty liver, my Gout, and I lost more than 20 kilos in less than 6 months, I have been subscribed and following you for almost 6 months as well. I have been prescribed with an Amlodipine 10mg which increased from 5 mg, and now I am off of it, and my blood pressure had been normal without it for 2 months now...Thank you so so much...Please continue with your enlightenment...More Power to you my Doctor,
May l ask was your bp low and high ? Got higher at night? May l ask what you did to get well?
I'm lost and trying to understand? Is plant base and veggies ok?
Keto? Or carivore? Or did you just stop the sugar and bread ??? Pls would live a little guidance
If most doctors were like you, this world would be a much better place. Thank you for telling the truth, it takes so much courage, dr Ekberg. You are a true hero!
I'm so thankful I discovered your videos a year ago. I'm 48 years old and spent my life counting calories, losing weight, gaining it back plus some. I feel a sense of peace that I have never known. Because of what I have learned from you, not only am I healthy but I can teach my husband and children the right way to eat. My daughter is a senior in high school. She came home last week and said she had a teacher going over health in class. Telling everyone to be sure and eat 3 times a day with snacks and breakfast was the most important meal of the day!🤦♀️ I'm so thankful that my daughter knows better! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for all that you do. Sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you.❤
Excellent sharing this vidio top 10 secrets to Reverse insulin resistance Naturally. Thanks again Dr.Ekberg
My friend just lost 20 pounds on a diet that has her eating every 2 hours their food she buys in packages. I said “ you are spiking your insulin constantly “ but I shut up because she is happy
Actually young people probably should eat frequently ..but everybody over forty should do omad
I never get tired of listening to you, Dr. Ekberg! And I always learn something new! Bless you! You are improving and saving lives everyday!
Thank you FleurElise. 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. 😄
Excellent perspective of the metabolic syndrome. I can’t understand how it is possible that some medical and nutrition schools are still teaching the wrong old school theory. Thank you Very much for this lectures.
Absolutely. Then again they don't make money on healthy people.
I saw your video around February this year, I went straight into a 62 hour fast after never fasting before. Maybe I should of built up to this with shorter fast, thats me though. What was remarkable was how my back pain went down to practically nothing, I slept like a baby with deep peaceful dreams and I had mental clarity at times that was amazing. The day after I broke the fast and started to eat again I felt like I was 20 years ago, my thoughts everything. It was a amazing.
Because they want sick people who are on meds. And they actually want suffering
@@annashealthylifeeverything8583 Right $$
Yes they do. I have to school my nurse now! THEY are so far in with big pharma,who are all for profit@@annashealthylifeeverything8583
The way this doctor analyse ideas are highly scientific
What do you recommend as a diet?
What should we eat?
You're talking all around it.
GO ON KETOGENIC
Doc this is one of my favorite videos now. I remember going for my yearly at the beginning of this year, and my primary saying "your livers numbers decreaed, all your numbers went down significantly, Good Job!" I had lost weight and began fasting. Thanks Doc! You're the best man...
I am insulin resistant in my early 50s, eating too much and eating junk. I was diagnosed with prediabetic in my 60s, A1C vary from 5.6-5.7 blood glucose 107-117, up and down for over a decade. The only reason my test results hold me at prediabetic level is that I am very active, exercise and practicing sports all my life since I was a kid. I started IF last year, 16-20 hours daily, eating healthy, walking 2 hours daily, hiking weekends. Last week my tests came back with A1C 5.5, blglucose 99. I expected it lower than that but I am right at the border limit. May be my age, am now 70. I heard older people and elderly have a different measurements and that show higher than younger people. Isn't it?
I strongly believe exercise is very important and necessary for a healthy life.
Muscle building is critically.. build muscle and let it use its capacity to pull in all the glucagon
@@georgesmkhu8290 thank you. Am working on it. More resistance training and more walking. I am glad to let you know I got blood glucose fasting test this morning with a reading 75. Previous many days was below 90.
Mary, you sound just like me! I am 68 and pre diabetic. I am curious what diet/book/ you used as a guide on what to eat.If you have any advice to share I would love it. I am active, walk a lot. I also work. So, I know it’s my diet. Thank you.
@@Hippy2021 How long did you fast before your test?
How long did u fast befors test?? U still getting below 90 bro?@@Hippy2021
Hi Sten, Lee here in Atlantic City New Jersey. I have been watching most of your videos for awhile and I have learned a lot. I read a lot, I am a avid bookworm, and I am always reading a variety of subjects including the latest trends and discovered facts in health and biology. You definitely know what you are talking about and it is my pleasure to listen to you telling it like it really is concerning caring for your body. My experience with doctors is that most are lazy with their diagnosis and also obviously not knowledgeable about their specialties. Very frustrating trying to find a good doctor and to even have a conversation. Fortunately I have been lucky enough to have been healthy most of my life. But now that I am a "senior citizen" my body is going through challenges and changes. The reality is that it's best to just be proactive in my health care and constantly educate myself so I know what to do to stay healthy because from what I've seen and heard the health care industry is not interested in helping people stay healthy or become healthy because that's bad for business. So I want to say thank you for your thoughtfulness and education in your videos. I continue to learn a lot. I appreciate your time and effort to help us to be aware of how to get healthy and stay healthy. Oh yeah, I am now 69.
Whew !
Hej dr Sten.
Gillar alltid dina videor. Mycket bra information. Önskar att jag hade kunnat den här informationen tidigt i livet. Jag har inte levt nyttigt. Jag har operat hjärtat nyligen, när jag var 39. Mindre kul. Jag har levt/ lever låg kolhydrat nu. Och försöker leva nyttigt. Tack så mycket, för det du gör.
Completely random comment - anyone else impressed by the way he's able to seemingly write backwards without any issues? Quite possibly just a trick of the camera and editing but my brain focused on that so heavily for a minute or two that I had to watch back the video to actually listen to what he said 🤣 (thanks adhd)
Thank you, Dr. Sten. You are literally empowering people with knowledge to save their own lives. What higher achievement can a person realize in life?
Love your work Dr. Ekberg you never disappoint. My health has tremendously improved because of your work...Always looking forward to your videos every Friday. May God continue blessing you and your work❤
If your watching, I love your videos. So so helpful, thank you, I love you. You are the shiznit. I've been living this for 3 month's. No processed sugar or processed carbs for 3 months, I've lost 28 pounds and I feel amazing.
Thank you Book Worm for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I think the fact you are writing backwards is the most impressive info in this video.
Dr Sten. You are an Angel. I liked, subscribed & commented on your channel. That is least i can do. You deserve all the Love and appriciation in the world 🌎. Thank you so much for an indepth understanding on the topic. Me and my 2 siblings are dealing with Type 2 diabetes and metabolic issues. So we come out of it soon. Lots of love and Respect from Pakistan.
Been watching his videos for a few months now and I got my fasting mmol/l down from 5.7 to 4.3!
That is amazing. How did you do it?
@@deedee2218 I switched over to omad with my only meal at 2-3 PM and paired it with keto. Used AG1 to supplement whatever I was missing or could not eat and got the majority of my animal protein from eggs. The rest comes from pea, hemp, nuts + actual food. Net carbs never go over 25.
I was also exercising fasted every day
I used to think the AMA, NIH, CDC and FDA looked out for the people. Boy, was I wrong. They only look out for big pharma. That's why people working in these organizations go back and forth, making big bucks. Also, big pharma provides the majority of the funding for these organizations. Thank goodness for this site.
So True!
There just could not be a more perfect explanation. Thank you for this thorough explanation in layman's terms. It's beyond appreciated and will force me to make the appropriate changes to my diet. ❤
Insulin resistance (is a surviival mechanism). - overload meaning eating too much sugar and carbs)
Causes
1. Sugar 50% glucose and 50% fructose and alcohol (fatty liver)
2. Carbohydrates and starches
Reverse::
1. Don't eat sugar and don't drink alcohol
2. Know your carbs intake (e.g.. 30 grams a day mostly from green leafy, veggies, berries, nuts)
3. Do not eat more than you need ( 12 oz of meat and 1 aTbsp of butter per meal)
4. Distribute your food properly during the day
5. Know your supplements needed
Thank you soooo much Dr Ekberg, I have struggled for 30 years with my weight, I finally understand what your saying, and I am losing weight, I have lost a hundred pounds before, and lots of pounds on top of that… it’s a miracle. I am losing this extra weight for the last time. God bless you
I actually pressed the liked button even before the video started - thank you doctor, you are inspirational and a saviour on my health journey🙏🏻👏🏻👍
Have diligently studied overcoming IR in books, lectures, UA-cam, and the web for the past 4 years and this was a scintillating, excellent video. Next time I present a talk on IR, hopefully I can emulate you.
Truly a remarkable piece of work, his explanatory skills are so well developed, admirable indeed, if you want to save your life listen to this guy, thanks to him I incorporated gradually walking, IF, OMAD and low carb life style. Med free for over a year now and my Dr says is like a miracle. well the miracle was starting to make a difference and listening to Dr Eckberg.

Thank You Enis. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Thank you Dr . You make us understand so beautifully. I feel so wise after listening to your detail explanation and I highly grateful to you. Gratitude from India
I like this guys approach. He does a good job at breaking down the problem and even pointing out the faults of the allopathic approach to problems with medications. As a physician myself, I’ve always used a holistic approach to diabetes and insulin resistance. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the people I see for diabetes are extremely reluctant to change their lifestyle as to their diet and exercise. That to me is the absolute most important factor when it comes to this topic. I have seen people reverse their condition with and without medication. The key is their attitude about how they will live their lives.
I'm a little confused .l have pcos and some say it's insulin issues. Does one do keto or carnivore? And if have fatty liver and suggestions ? I worried as online they say help with insulin but l see lots if salads ? Are salads OK? Fiber? Whom can you recommend cause lm don't want to die like my grandpa diabetes and liver issues
Please look up what foods you can eat on a Keto diet!! Yes you can eat salads! Strawberries raspberries blackberries plums etc. grass fed butter olive oil, lots more! Please look into it . Also cauliflower cabbage runner beans, french beans, courgette olive oil.😊
I quit Cokes and sugar or trying man it's difficult ,thanks doc for doing these videos I lost 12 pounds , fasting more and more .thanks for all you share
Thank very easy to understand and do. I just started after a mini stroke. I'm ready for the challenge. I'm driven to getting my health back with your help. So thank you and God where ready to go. Thanks for the video.
Lot of Learnings from you for last 2 years. In due course i was able to reverse my own IR and now I help many people around me to reverse many metabolic disorders. I am so thankful for all the stuff I had learnt from you. Feeling grateful.
Thank you Celebrating Life with Muthu. Most people think they know something when they have had the slightest exposure to a topic, but I don't think you really know something until you can explain it to someone else. You have obviously taken it to a higher standard and I salute you for it. I wish there were millions of people like you who could help spread the message about health. 😄
I appreciate that he doesn’t vilify the body. The body is amazing and many of its parts: cholesterol, insulin, fat, and hormones are framed as the bad actors when in reality what we eat, and the chemicals polluting our water, air, and foods, are harming us and the body is doing the best it can.
Thank you for video and teaching true health by choosing the right diet. I do have type 2 diabetes since 11 years, starting with 12,1% hb1Ac and an erysipelas at my foot, right-hand side. I managed to decrease my hb1Ac down to 6% in 3 or 4 years. But I had a hard time to get my weight down to a more healthy level. I got frustated and eventually fall back in bad habits in my diet and stopped taking my drugs (Metformin and others). Last december I got an erysipelas on the other side and went to the hospital. My hb1Ac was 12,6% and I had to start taking insulin. This was a punch in my face and I understood, I had to something, before they had to amputade one or more toes. I found the concept of intermittent fasting and lchf diet. It took me a few weeks to adapt. But it worked. After 4-5 month I could stop taking insulin and now, after 8 month, I lost 20 kg (45 lbs) weight (still 35 kg to much) and could even reduce the amount of Metformin. Everything with the advice of a PhD.
My question: Does it make sense to continue taking Metformin (currently 500mg - 0 - 1000mg). Does it has an effect on blood glucose, when eating lchf diet?
For years I had bleeding ulcers, put me into the intensive care twice and once caused a mild heart attack..........got bad advice from doctors that didn't help and I believe aggravated it .......been watching you for two years now following your advice.......no gut issues.......thank you thank you thank you Dr.
These videos are so much more helpful than any info I have heard. On my journey to get control of my health. Thank you so much Dr. Sten!!
The free content you provide is life changing, thank you so much . Blessings to you and yours

Great video as always! It is funny to see clickbait title "Top 10 secrets"- but that's how the algorithm suggests videos.
Your videos have so much more in depth knowledge than the title suggests. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
Excellent job of explaining in layman’s terms what insulin resistance means.
Thank you.
I didn’t see that you explain how to reverse insulin resistance. I was waiting till the end!!!
I walk an hour every day. My glucose has gone to 135. I eat lots of vegetables and chicken. I’ve lost muscle and weigh 94 lbs. I have Hashimoto, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis and di not what to do. I think I have insulin tolerance. My primary doesn’t have a clue about all these health issues of mine. My blood test shows normal. I measure my glucose and it doesn’t seem normal. Thank you for your thorough explanation of Insulin’s
resistance. I will continue to follow your savvy channel
To challenge orthodoxy with critical thinking, leads to deeper understanding. I believe that you, Dr Ekberg, provide the necessary analytical tools that viewers can use to make their lives better. Thank you for turning knowledge into wisdom.
extremely well explained in a perfectly logical way. you just added several years to my life. thanks doc!

No sugar is mainly what he’s suggesting and low carbs I’m thinking. I do agree. Eg sugary drinks and pastry and such . Do hope this help. It has helped me.
Sir. You are of the few people on this planet that I consider a Genius. 100% Respect.
Wow. So glad you are here and are talking about this! You are a life saver❤. I learned the past year I was insulin resistant. It took me a while to have me realize it. I had gained 35 pounds when I turned 72 due to bad eating habits and a broken ankle. I have now lost the weight the hard way. I got sick from a diet plan and turned to did intermittent fasting. The diet plan I went on is called slim 4 Life. It is a good plan but not if one is insolent resistant. It actually made me very sick. It involved 3 healthy meals, their snacks in between meals and fruit 2 times a day along with their pills. I am so insulin resistant that I really cannot eat without gaining weight. I realize now that I have been insulin resistant for a few years. I talked with my doctor about it last January who didn’t suggest doing anything about it. I don’t think I was taken seriously. I believe for me this started when I became post menopausal. I am now 73 years old. People have told me for years I’ve always looked 15 years younger than whatever age I am at the time but my health needs help. I want to reverse insulin resistance. ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr! So clear and understandable 🙏🏻You are so helpful. I have been low-carb for about 5 months; BP down, 13% of body weight lost!
Just basically go the opposite what the government is recommending...sounds about right
Lemme just replace the word government with companies
@@arvindacharya4274 true that...basically it's all about profits with this company's and food franchise and restaurants and big pharma...if ur healthy and free of health problems and don't depend on there drugs , and addictive food then there against that..
Spot on 🙏
Thank You Varela manila. 😄
Government, more so corporations. They are the ones that are profiting off us.
Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg. You broke this down perfectly for a common man like myself. Keep fighting the good fight. I value your videos they are saving lives.
I was never told about insulin resistance. I am an ICU RN and only learned about it after I was diagnosed with diabetes. Researching it and on labs my total insulin in blood was doubled from normal. Lab done by my request. Diabetes doesn’t run in my family. So have made changes to diet
Dear Dr. Sten Ekberg
Three years ago, I discovered that my A1c was 15 and my fasting sugar level is high, as well as after eating.
In emergency I was put on insulin injections, but I was feeling a sharp drop in my sugar level to the point where I lost control of my nerves and my body as a whole
Then I saw to my doctor and asked for a c-peptide test, the result was 1.8.
He asked to stop the insulin( I only took it for three days 8 units dropped to 6) and put me on Janumet and also I was feeling a sharp drop in my sugar level !!
After suffering for the month I read about the keto diet and watched your amazing videos and after three months my A1c was 6.6 then 5.4 after another three months and the result of the Homa IR was 0.58% and the fasting insulin was 2.7. and fasting glucose was 87 at the same test of homa ir
Now, fasting sugar levels always under 99, and after eating, do not exceed 120 and sometimes 95
I am out of the keto or low carp diet for two years and I eat some fruits and very little brown bread and boiled basmati rice I have been eating average meals in quantity for nearly two years !!
What is the explanation for this case, especially when I am out of the keto diet and things seem normal and I do not have any known symptoms of diabetes or even insulin resistance?!
My last A1c 5 months ago was 4.4%.
Sorry for the length, but I wanted to share with you my experience... Please guide me what should I do and what is my condition?!
I'm on day 53 of my strict carnivore way of eating and feel great. 64 years old, 6 ft tall, 172 lbs. No meds whatsoever, not even aspirin.
Wow that’s great. U go you
Spread the word, criminal "health care" scammers need to be exposed
Thank You Patrick H. 😄
My husband did the same doing Dr Eric Westman’s Keto diet.
I’m full carnivore and it is truly the fountain of youth
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dr Ekberg. This world needs a bit more Dr's like you! Appreciated.
So happy to have found you Dr. Ekberg, everything just makes so much sense now, followed your advice for 3 months now and I feel amazing and have lost over a stone in weight 😀 finding it hard to get other people to listen though, people are just so defensive towards carbs it's insane 😂
Well done. It is truly worth it. I've lost a total of 2 stone in 10 months. I was recently carrying groceries weighing 1 stone and realised that I had lost twice that amount and thought how much my knees and lower back must be appreciating not carrying around all that extra weight.
Yes. People are very defensive of bread and sugar. Once I started telling people I no longer ate bread or sugar, they began delivering cookies, candy, and bread to my door! No joke. My neighbors panicked when I told them I no longer eat bread. They thought I would die without bread. Unbelievable.
Excellent. I feel like a farmer smarter then most American doctors. Studying your work.
Very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant! I've, finally, been informed of what IR truly is. I appreciate it, Dr. Ekberg!
Dr Ekberg is the true “Health Champion”!! Thank you for sharing all that knowledge with us!!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Thank you! What a great teacher, imagine if this was taught in high school???
The biggest secret I learned from your videos is that every food has its harmonal effect . I have been messing around with calorie deficit crap. now i know why i was not losing fat but muscle and weak body until I saw your videos on intermittent fasting and high fat diets thanks for helping and my belly is shrinking day by day I was stuck at 100 and in three weeks with OMAD and weight training today my weight is 91 KG 😀
Dr. Ekberg could you possibly do a video on leaky gut, I know a lot of people are said to have it, and you do such a wonderful job at explaining everything so precisely. I enjoy your videos so much and I send them to all my friends and family.Thank you for all your wonderful videos keep them coming
Dr Ekberg thank you for being such honest physician
Also if this contributes, my years of researching has let me to believe that our body is capable to breakdown the fat we eat into glucose as it needs, so there is no need of eating sugar or carbs, also we tend to metabolise fat way easier than carbs.
Thank you sir
Thank you ďr Ekberg
You were my first inspiration
I leave here my experience not to get pride, because even God do not like this, but to encourage people.
As others, by their writings, encouraged me. They gaved me hope and strength. My turn now.
A1c From 10.7 to 6.2 within 2 months, then 4.9 within 3 months more.
64yo. I lost 22kg. From 100 to 78 today.
Mostly omad. Once a month 48 hours fasting, walking 4-6 km a day.
No more than 50g of carbs a day except some experiments.
I WISH FROM DEEP MY HEART TO ALL THEY TRY FOR THEIR HEALTH FULLY SUCCESS SOON.
DO NOT GIVE UP
HAVE FAITH.
Pill$ and needle$. Knowledge gets in the way of that.
Can I ask you from where you get all of this info? Awesome way of explaining, you should be a teacher. Well in one way you are. You are teaching through your channel and I am one of your student. Thank you for making us healthier in a natural way.
I love your videos and have gotten so much from them, that being said…where are the 10 tips to reverse insulin resistance? I caught 1 (don’t ingest so many carbs) and must have missed the rest.
No, it was clickbait 😤
From 120kg down to 65kg, thank u for sharing your knowledge about IF ❤️
How fantastic - keto?
Thanks to you and recent researches I have lowered my high cholesterol and blood suger level and yet I'm steel trying to decrease it more ...3 months ago my fbs was 376 my a1c 10 . Cholesterol was 386 ...believe it after 3 months my Fbs 150 cholesterol 299 a1c 8.8 ...simply I have changed my style of life you were right
Without drugs ....only food and fasting
I am convinced that this is what caused my condition. The doctors have told me they have no idea what causes it. However I am off of medication and they have told me it's gone now. I think fasting and low carbs are the answer. I just gotta get the rest of the weight off.
I'm 57 years old. And I remember back when I was a child. My mother heard that cooking on fat is unhealthy so she cooked on sunflower seeds oil. Why was fat thrashed and flower and sugar favorit. In ,50 years to how many people was recommended not to use fat. Today I'm cooking on fat, using butter and olive oil. I feel good ( little ower weight but ok)
If you want to see how the anti-fat hysteria/myth started, watch Nina Teicholz's videos on the topic. The villain of the story is one of the greatest quacks of all time.
