I am a clinical hypnotherapist, in practice for nearly 22 years. My primary focus when working with weight-loss clients is, of course, on resolving the unconscious psychological and emotional drivers that cause them to retain excess weight. However, I am also very honest with my clients and I always tell them that physical lifestyle and dietary changes will be necessary. I want to thank Dr. Ekberg for this video, as it is the most concise, easy-to-understand overview of how diet and exercise actually impact health and weight. I will be referring all of my weight loss clients to begin their weight loss program by first watching this video.
I used to be really fat... I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it on Nextlevel diet, which was super helpful at the moment. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff. I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!!
The truth lasts forever and never goes away. We might get distracted and try other things, but for health the rules are simple...not always easy, but always simple. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Here's the summary, you're welcome: 1. Stop Sugar 2. Eat Whole Foods (at least 90% of times) 3. Reduce Carbs 4. Reduce the number of meals 5. Move more 6. Get good sleep 7. Reduce Stress (meditate more)
I've given up drinking alcohol after 20 years of drinking heavily every night I thought it's time for a change, sober 3 weeks atm and eating clean Working out at the gym everyday the weight flying off .
Amen! I can confirm everything you said in this video. Eight years and 26 kg ago I started with LCHF/Keto and now I am 20 years younger, better dental health, no pain in the back or in joints and even my feet looks like a much younger persons. It does work! You make great videos Sten.
Thank you Leif Hall 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! 😄
@@drekberg Dr. Ekberg, I have something I am puzzled by and that is that the thyroid needs insulin and thus carbs to be able to convert T4 to T3 (so I am understanding). It needs other things as well like tyrosine, B vits etc. Do you have any videos regarding how to lose weight but that deal with thyroid health???? My understanding is that LCHF increases stress hormones that impede thyroid production. I am trying to reverse pre-diabetes whilst at the same time eat to heal my goiterous thyroid. This is why I am asking.
@@kewlenjo219 by LCHF are you referring to keto? I’ve always heard that you need to cycle on and off of keto - perhaps your question is part of the reason why.

Dr. Ekberg, my wife and I were at your office today for my first appt. We are huge fans (students) of yours and I am looking forward to improving my health and wellbeing under your guidance. I look foward to seeing you soon.
Please make a video on ... " How to start on a 14 day fasting " ... What to do before fasting (preparation) What to do during fasting (minerals, vitamins, etc.) What to do after fasting (start eating again) many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work 👍
This is the most concise and thorough explaining of weight gain/loss that I've come across - that also encompasses both a scientific and philosophical explanation of having a better relationship with food and health. Sharing this with as many people as I can. Thanks ❤️
Thank you Millionaire Hoy - HoyPRO App. 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. Thanks for sharing the videos. 😄
Dr. Ekberg is so right and I'm a believer. I started after Thanksgiving beginning Dec. 1st with chicken bone broth soup and caught the drs. videos and have lost 25lbs and started to reverse my pre-diabetes condition following the doctors instructions. I did a blood panel a week ago and am down in glucose and other cat as well. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Hello Mr Ekberg, this is a short statement from Germany here. I just wanted to thank you for your videos and motivate you and others to keep that good work up. Just to briefly summarize my story: Found your videos, started low carb + fasting + movement (30 to 60 minuters a day lower to medium effort) and held that up for 10 weeks now. That definately was the second best thing I did in my live, no 1 beeing having children. I was easily abled to loose 13 kg of weight, reduced my blood pressure levels significantly and feel much better now. Although I still think a lot of what is good for me and worked for me might not be true for everybody, I am convinced that your work did and will improve the life of many people. Once the barrier is broken and you get into the habit which becomes a lifestyle, it is really easy to live by these ideas. I am also convinced that these methods can improve your immune system and that this is really helpful when facing a covid infection, as I had to last summer. So thank you for sharing and putting in the effort. Truely appreciated.
Thank you so much for this encouraging video. I have a long way to go but I am making those small steps and I realized I have actually did no. 1 and 2 (give up sugar, eat whole foods). Now I need to reduce carbs and eat less often.
Thanks Doc I started 5 weeks ago today lost 17.5 lbs as I started 16/8 fasting and two meals low carb and eliminating alcohol. I am 63 aiming for 178 lbs so got 33 lbs more to go and thanks for everything you do
@@sdraven9954 You're welcome. Might also want to check out The Croissant Diet (high saturated fat; low PUFA; not necessarily keto): "The Croissant Diet Specification"
What a fantastic video! I have recently gone carnivore and I have eliminated all carbs and even any plants. The reason is chronic inflammation that is causing me to suffer pains in various parts of the body. I’m back in the gym. I’m walking daily and bike riding often and water is my only beverage except for a cup of black coffee in the morning. I’m hoping I will continue to feel better! Thanks again! Love your channel!
I wish i found this guy years ago. There's genuine research and science to back up his claims! My mum has very early on set dementia and just by giving her cod liver oil capsules and resviratrol each day she's much brighter ✨️ and less forgetful. Thank you doctor! X
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! Finally, an explanation of why calories in, calories out doesn't always work! I started cutting way back on sugar and carbs, eating more veggies and meat, and moving more 2 weeks ago and, already I feel better. And that makes me want to continue. Thank you so much for your understandable videos! Than you for giving of your time, talent and knowledge!
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. Wonderful Original videos can only come from someone with intense passion to share the secrets of healthy life, and compassion towards the fellow beings, and nature! I am extremely thankful for all your work and, keep up the good work!
Amazing video as always sir. I always look up to you for insulin resistance, and better habits. I've been doing intermittent fasting for a while now, only eating between the hours of 12 PM - 7PM. Thanks for saving my life. I started in August at 256 pounds, and today I was at 205.
Thank you DevildogTV 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! 😄
Dr.Ekberg , this is just to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. In less than one month of discovering you here,I have learned a lot of things I wasn't even taught in Med.school. I have also learned about intermittent fasting from you and it's been great so far. Thank you once again!

Doctor, you saved my life in just the past few weeks. I've lived in vegan myth for more than 20 years and now I'm so ready to remove all my issues watching every clip of your videos. Thank you.
a great Video! i startet out in late 2019 to loose my belly fat, i startet to gain muscle, i reduced the meals to two per day, after getting fitter, the smoking started to get less "necessary", now, with 48 years old, i'm more fit and flexible than the last 20 years. all in all, i only can underline and back up everything in the video! Thx for the great work in explaining the Connections of how we function!
You are making a major contribution to humanity with this information. It will empower thousands (millions?) of people to make positive changes because we have started understanding the science of what is happening in our body and our brain.
Incredible presentation. Dr. Sten Ekberg is correct about humans needing to eliminate processed foods and eat a natural diet that all animals need to eat.
I feel better now, the last few months, than I ever did. Maybe 10xs better than what I felt at fifty when I was burned out, 70 pounds heavier, and thinking I was at the end of the road. I get all this now, you, my good Doctor, are an excellent teacher, and whoever works on these videos I would commend, this work being able to hold my attention back when I didn't have the ability that now seems to have been restored. I am thinking the agribusiness growers/processors know exactly what they are doing, the fatter people get the higher the profits. I'll put in a good word on this movement idea. Keeping a garden provides much, add in a few foraging trips in the wild, fishing, and I also hunt, all in a natural ethical manner, and movement becomes associated with food. This is working for me. And I want more of it! Excellent video, highly informative yet easy to understand, and ends with a directive to act.
Thank you Rick Larson 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! 😄
You are correct, even "organic certified" foods are suspect. I began my grow own food journey in 2019 and began seeing a much healthier me, by 2020 I was looking years younger. Last October I had to move to Socal fishbowl where I have buy all my food so I buy organic as much and follow same eating habits, sleeping even more now (8 hrs), walk & hike since more time on hands BUT have picked up weight, got civil that lasted 6-7 weeks, fell down twice...weaker maybe stressed/toxic, unhappy here.
Thank you so much for this. This hits so close to home 😢 because one of my close family is struggling this way, they are morbidly obese and people can be so cruel judging them, not understanding the struggle they are having, even their own parents can be nasty to them. I know that they try so hard, and I'm trying to encourage them, I will share this with them. I really just wish people will stop fat shaming learn to be less judgemental and show more compassion and empathy instead of disdain😔.
I really needed this one today, man. Thank you so much for this. I got a little off track, and this totally made me regain focus. I love all of your videos. Again, thank you so much.
Love you sweet dear Dr. the information is absolutely wonderful but sometimes I’m just on overload and I want to get to the end of the story and just know what to do. Big hug!.... Well now I’ve listen to the end and I’m so thankful… Sometimes I have just listened to so many videos I don’t know where to begin. Thanks again.
I reduced eating out and increased intermittent fasting and I’ve already lost 10 lbs without any exercise and I still eat some crappy things but it’s so much better for me to slowly phase out bad foods, my last food crutch is soda. I am in the process of phasing it out with carbonated water which I really enjoy.
Try Zevia friend. We switched a few years ago. My husband was very slow to the change, but jumped in when he saw so many other improvements. They brand is excellent in so many ways ways. Really good soda, sweetened with stevia root!! Order the sample pack from Amazon and try them out!!
Excellent video. I'm a 52 year old woman. I'm weigh 237 lbs and am struggling to lose weight. I exercise regularly, an hour 5 days a week. Not losing any weight. I have to do better with food. Sugar addict..
Understanding the science is the easy part of weight loss, thanks to your clear presentations! The hard part is self discipline to follow the science. But we all can accomplish something positive if we really want to. Stay educated and motivated and great results will follow!
I began to watch your vỉdeo just a couple of day ago. Yet, i have learned a precious thing. That is never give up hope about reversing one's poor health. Thank you for your great help.
Thanks for explaining these things in a way that’s easy to understand! 5 months into this lifestyle, quickly lost 20 pounds, cut my blood pressure medicine by half and weaned myself off of the antidepressants that I’ve been on for the last 10 years. Something about IF is a mood elevator.
Good video, I'm thin-fat and 64 year old. I try to get less stomach fat and rebuild my muscles again. I will start up the regular training again. I don-t get enough sleep but I working on getting back to normal.
The easiest way to lose belly fat is minimum 18 hour fast, and keto. If you have stubborn belly fat, getting your carbs close to zero is most effective. If carnivore diet is too extreme, you can add in nutrient dense foods that are still very low carb like avocado and leafy greens. Next is HIIT, sleep minimum 8 hours quality sleep, and get rid of crappy stressful people for 2 weeks 🤣🤣🤣🤓🤓
Great video! Have you ever thought of doing a video on where the fat goes when it’s burned\ how the amount of fat cells never actually diminish? So someone who was once overweight has a higher chance of returning as a result of harbouring less fat, but the same amount of fat cells? For instance, when I go off keto, I puff up like a balloon despite having lost a tremendous amount of weight. Thanks again!
It can be so frustrating after losing 100+ pounds to get stuck about 20 pounds early, or to even gain back 10 or 15! This is true even if you know that the 10 or 15 is mostly or all muscle. You can know that your body is changing, and even see it in the mirror, but to still see the fat you want to get rid of can be maddening. Then, if you're not careful, bad habits can creep in. The temptation is to "double down" and "work harder." It seems like sometimes what's necessary is to take a stress vacation and be good to yourself.
Love all your videos, but this one really helped me understand what my body is doing. How it is responding to my weight loss. I just told my husband that I felt like my body was processing food /carbs better after 6 months of working to better my blood sugar levels. I couldn't understand why. Knowing now that these changes can show up over time helps. It was like my body flipped a switch. I am down 51 pounds and am looking forward to adding more items on your list. Refining my food choices more and moving are next. I have Lupus so moving has been last on my list.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Ekberg! Thanks to your videos I learned so much, changed my lifestyle, educated myself in a way that is not only accessible but also extremely accurate and true - my body proved it, my wonderful health proved it, I continue to follow what I learned from you and the results are available. Stay safe and thank you, again!

I am deep into my IF+Keto routine and still 10 pounds away from my ideal weight (already lost 20 pounds pretty effortlessly). The fat on my belly that used to be hard as rock has turned soft like cotton. Still I am stuck at my current setpoint and just cannot lose weight any further. I have tried these but nothing's worked:- 1. Tried almost 0 carbs for a couple of days to smash down the setpoint 2. Tried water fast for 2 days straight. 3. Tried to increase the intensity and duration of weight training. 4. Increased low-intensity cardio duration. 5. Increased fiber and protein intake by a little. 6. Increased the duration of Parasympathetic breathing exercise. 7. Tried Yoga stretches and increased the intake of Cod liver oil. 8. Increased the duration of sunbathing as well as exposure. 9. Increased the frequency of probiotic foods like homemade curd and pickles. I don't know what else I can try to lose those last 10 pounds. Any recommendations are most welcome :D
Seems like you are in the right track, I would love to add something that would solve it for you because I think you are being very methodical and thoughtful , I suppose all I can recommend is staying the course you are on with an increased focus on patience? You got this
keep on with the keto and IF, ive lost a lot more weight than you had to and ive had loads of stalls , i kept on doing the same thing and the stalls went and the loss started again.
I was at the same position as you until I managed my stress level and sleep time and quality. These two may be as important as eating whole food and moving during the day.
Wooow…I’m someone who has lost 95lbs from 245 to 150lbs. I'm 19 and 5’9” I always had that thought of why am I able to eat so much if not the same at my current weight compared to when I was 245. U answered that in this video it’s the hormones, etc. I have not gained weight and have been successful to maintain it for 1 1/2 years now. lol, all my friends look at me funny when I’m able to eat a 20oz steak with Brussel sprouts and a baked potato. And we’re all the same weight but they were never above 150lbs. This is so crazy. Thank u Dr. Sten
These are some of the best science explainers I've ever seen, especially for any non-scientist. I'm so glad to see this caliber of instruction on the internet, considering what else is out there in 2022...
I have the impression that we humans generally eat too much, even if it's healthy food. as soon as we watch tv or sit down we just have to have something in our mouth, right?
As important and specific as all your other videos have been which complement this video, this one is the most vital and all-encompassing you've produced. I can not thank you enough Doctor.
I've been struggling with the belly fat loss. I have lost over 10kg in the last 3 months but I still have belly fat and love handles. Going to carry on with the intermittent fasting and will have a look at this video
First on - last off. I went from 224 to 157, and only lost the belly fat when I dropped below 165, which was my weight when 17 years old. NO belly fat at 17, and NO belly fat now at 69.
Another brilliant presentation of what goes on with being healthy Doc! I try to keep up with your hints and advices and yesterday I noticed amazing thing - I weight 1,5 kilogram more but my waist shrinks like mad, what I see in mirror is outstanding. I exercise around 3 times a week and I feel more resistant and powerful, mentally also thanks to meditation. Muscles build up and show up. I started in August 2021 and I believe that in May 2022 I will get to my dream shape and condition of health.
Thank you KingOfWesteros 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 recently decided to stop eating snacks like chocolate and chips, cause my walking pants had gotten hard to button. So far it’s been surprisingly easy. Been a couple months. Decided not to exercise in addition cause I have experience of that combined with watching what I eat makes me extremely hungry. I have gone from 77 kg to 72,5 so far. Goal is 69. I used to be underweight back in the day. Ate loads of chocolate and chips, and regular meals, but also worked as a waitress plus had dance lessons twice a week. So I figured, if I wanna lose weight, but not exercise, it should still be really effective dropping the chocolate and chips. I’m really hoping I won’t rubber band back up when (if) I reach my goal. But have the plan of weighing in every morning, and if I’m 70+, I’m not allowed to snack that day. Might set goal to 65, which used to be my comfort weight. If body allows it with my low effort approach. Wish me luck.
Hi. Good luck I know you can do it. Because you were skinny before. Aim for 65kg trust me that's when you will look really attractive to guys and will show. Don't worry if you have some down there we love it.
Dilyan - bf is attracted to me regardless thankfully:) but wanna be a bit healthier. I’m 180 tall. My lowest was 54 kg, and my “usual “ used to be a steady 60. Was on the skinny side. 65 probably best.
Thank you for the amazing content doctor. I have been IF on and off for about 3 years but I am trying to keep up on it as a lifestyle after watching your detailed videos. Would you recommend IF for nursing moms?
The best and honest way to understand the loose weight process through the hormone balance into our body. Everybody that struggles loosing weight should listen this content.Thanks Doc.
Dr. Ekberg, first I want to tell you how much I appreciate your very clear explanations of what promotes good health in these videos. One would think this should be sufficient for viewers to watch, learn and follow. But honestly, I am struggling here in my late 40s to get started. Do you have a particular video that helps someone like me take first steps? If not, I'm sure many others would benefit from such a guide. Your work here is such a treasure to your viewers. Thank you!

You are the best Dr STEN EKBERG. Simple to simplicity.
Dr. Ekberg, my wife and I were at your office today for my first appt. We are huge fans (students) of yours and I am looking forward to improving my health and wellbeing under your guidance. I look foward to seeing you soon.
Hi John Khan. Sorry I missed you, but I'm sure Dr. Smith took great care of you. I look forward to meeting you guys as well 😄
This video is the right balance between high science and making it understandable. Very good job thank you.
Please make a video on ... " How to start on a 14 day fasting " ...
What to do before fasting (preparation)
What to do during fasting (minerals, vitamins, etc.)
What to do after fasting (start eating again)
many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work 👍
Thank you! This video describes me, I just lost weight down to 200 and I'm 6'4". Thank you so much for your well informed and useful guide.
Congrats Ken
Good job!
You're welcome. Ken S. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
This is the most concise and thorough explaining of weight gain/loss that I've come across - that also encompasses both a scientific and philosophical explanation of having a better relationship with food and health. Sharing this with as many people as I can. Thanks ❤️
I’m here and subscribed because of you. Thanks coach! 🤍
@@allaroundhome That's so awesome. Thanks Spiritual Chick ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Millionaire Hoy - HoyPRO App. 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. Thanks for sharing the videos. 😄
Thank You That Spiritual Chick. Welcome to the channel. 😄
I agree with you! I wish my parents would watch. They’re still stuck in the past where if you’re overweight, it’s due to gluttony and sloth.
Dr. Ekberg is so right and I'm a believer. I started after Thanksgiving beginning Dec. 1st with chicken bone broth soup and caught the drs. videos and have lost 25lbs and started to reverse my pre-diabetes condition following the doctors instructions. I did a blood panel a week ago and am down in glucose and other cat as well. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Hello Mr Ekberg,
this is a short statement from Germany here. I just wanted to thank you for your videos and motivate you and others to keep that good work up. Just to briefly summarize my story: Found your videos, started low carb + fasting + movement (30 to 60 minuters a day lower to medium effort) and held that up for 10 weeks now. That definately was the second best thing I did in my live, no 1 beeing having children. I was easily abled to loose 13 kg of weight, reduced my blood pressure levels significantly and feel much better now. Although I still think a lot of what is good for me and worked for me might not be true for everybody, I am convinced that your work did and will improve the life of many people. Once the barrier is broken and you get into the habit which becomes a lifestyle, it is really easy to live by these ideas. I am also convinced that these methods can improve your immune system and that this is really helpful when facing a covid infection, as I had to last summer. So thank you for sharing and putting in the effort. Truely appreciated.
22:49 'stress is your perception of the world outside'.
I ❤️ that one!
Thank you so much for this encouraging video. I have a long way to go but I am making those small steps and I realized I have actually did no. 1 and 2 (give up sugar, eat whole foods). Now I need to reduce carbs and eat less often.
Thanks Doc
I started 5 weeks ago today lost 17.5 lbs as I started 16/8 fasting and two meals low carb and eliminating alcohol.
I am 63 aiming for 178 lbs so got 33 lbs more to go and thanks for everything you do
Hello Health Champions ! It's sooo encouraging !!
Thank You Sharda Jadhav. I love hearing that. Keep it up. 😄
Gaining knowledge instead of gaining weight now that I discovered your channel. I recommend to my patients too!
0:01 "Why is it almost impossible to lose belly fat?" Seed oils. See: Chris Knobbe and Tucker Goodrich.
Thank you for this comment. Hadn't heard of Chris Knobbe. Just watched one of his videos. Literally eye opening.
@@sdraven9954 You're welcome. Might also want to check out The Croissant Diet (high saturated fat; low PUFA; not necessarily keto): "The Croissant Diet Specification"
Great holistic and philosophical ideas on the subject of balance as it applies to health. Thank you!
I followed this advice for 3 months.. I lost 15kg and I feel great!! BP reduced from 119/80 to 105/75.. Thank you very much Dr.Ekberg!!!
119/80 is not morbid, isn’t it?
@@mrmeeseeks4588 no it's actually a perfect bp. I wish mine was that high. I'm low 100 or 90s and doesn't feel great
What a fantastic video! I have recently gone carnivore and I have eliminated all carbs and even any plants. The reason is chronic inflammation that is causing me to suffer pains in various parts of the body. I’m back in the gym. I’m walking daily and bike riding often and water is my only beverage except for a cup of black coffee in the morning. I’m hoping I will continue to feel better! Thanks again! Love your channel!

I wish i found this guy years ago. There's genuine research and science to back up his claims! My mum has very early on set dementia and just by giving her cod liver oil capsules and resviratrol each day she's much brighter ✨️ and less forgetful. Thank you doctor! X
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! Finally, an explanation of why calories in, calories out doesn't always work! I started cutting way back on sugar and carbs, eating more veggies and meat, and moving more 2 weeks ago and, already I feel better. And that makes me want to continue. Thank you so much for your understandable videos! Than you for giving of your time, talent and knowledge!
Vegetables are carbs too. Just not simple carbs.
I must say in most cultures with a traditional diet it is very frequent for middle age people to have excess of fat.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. Wonderful Original videos can only come from someone with intense passion to share the secrets of healthy life, and compassion towards the fellow beings, and nature! I am extremely thankful for all your work and, keep up the good work!
Amazing video as always sir. I always look up to you for insulin resistance, and better habits. I've been doing intermittent fasting for a while now, only eating between the hours of 12 PM - 7PM. Thanks for saving my life. I started in August at 256 pounds, and today I was at 205.
Thank you DevildogTV 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! 😄
Fantastic job!!
Nice work!!
Wow! Great Job
Dr.Ekberg , this is just to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. In less than one month of discovering you here,I have learned a lot of things I wasn't even taught in Med.school. I have also learned about intermittent fasting from you and it's been great so far. Thank you once again!
Thank you dina nwanali. 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, or school haha, 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. 😄
Stop all sugars and all carbs, it worked for me. I have lost 24 pounds in three months, and all the weight lost has been on m belly
Doctor, you saved my life in just the past few weeks. I've lived in vegan myth for more than 20 years and now I'm so ready to remove all my issues watching every clip of your videos. Thank you.
Lol how could you be vegan for so long? Crazy
a great Video!
i startet out in late 2019 to loose my belly fat, i startet to gain muscle, i reduced the meals to two per day, after getting fitter, the smoking started to get less "necessary", now, with 48 years old, i'm more fit and flexible than the last 20 years.
all in all, i only can underline and back up everything in the video!
Thx for the great work in explaining the Connections of how we function!
This channel has really made a difference in the overall health of my life, TY!
You are making a major contribution to humanity with this information. It will empower thousands (millions?) of people to make positive changes because we have started understanding the science of what is happening in our body and our brain.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you for putting so much effort into getting this message out!!
You're welcome Buckshot Productions. My pleasure. Thanks for watching 😄
Incredible presentation. Dr. Sten Ekberg is correct about humans needing to eliminate processed foods and eat a natural diet that all animals need to eat.
I feel better now, the last few months, than I ever did. Maybe 10xs better than what I felt at fifty when I was burned out, 70 pounds heavier, and thinking I was at the end of the road. I get all this now, you, my good Doctor, are an excellent teacher, and whoever works on these videos I would commend, this work being able to hold my attention back when I didn't have the ability that now seems to have been restored.
I am thinking the agribusiness growers/processors know exactly what they are doing, the fatter people get the higher the profits.
I'll put in a good word on this movement idea. Keeping a garden provides much, add in a few foraging trips in the wild, fishing, and I also hunt, all in a natural ethical manner, and movement becomes associated with food. This is working for me. And I want more of it!
Excellent video, highly informative yet easy to understand, and ends with a directive to act.
Thank you Rick Larson 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! 😄
You are correct, even "organic certified" foods are suspect. I began my grow own food journey in 2019 and began seeing a much healthier me, by 2020 I was looking years younger. Last October I had to move to Socal fishbowl where I have buy all my food so I buy organic as much and follow same eating habits, sleeping even more now (8 hrs), walk & hike since more time on hands BUT have picked up weight, got civil that lasted 6-7 weeks, fell down twice...weaker maybe stressed/toxic, unhappy here.
@@soniag4516 Bad news... :-(
Thank you so much for this. This hits so close to home 😢 because one of my close family is struggling this way, they are morbidly obese and people can be so cruel judging them, not understanding the struggle they are having, even their own parents can be nasty to them. I know that they try so hard, and I'm trying to encourage them, I will share this with them. I really just wish people will stop fat shaming learn to be less judgemental and show more compassion and empathy instead of disdain😔.
I really needed this one today, man. Thank you so much for this. I got a little off track, and this totally made me regain focus. I love all of your videos. Again, thank you so much.
Love you sweet dear Dr. the information is absolutely wonderful but sometimes I’m just on overload and I want to get to the end of the story and just know what to do. Big hug!.... Well now I’ve listen to the end and I’m so thankful… Sometimes I have just listened to so many videos I don’t know where to begin. Thanks again.
I reduced eating out and increased intermittent fasting and I’ve already lost 10 lbs without any exercise and I still eat some crappy things but it’s so much better for me to slowly phase out bad foods, my last food crutch is soda. I am in the process of phasing it out with carbonated water which I really enjoy.
Try Zevia friend. We switched a few years ago. My husband was very slow to the change, but jumped in when he saw so many other improvements. They brand is excellent in so many ways ways. Really good soda, sweetened with stevia root!! Order the sample pack from Amazon and try them out!!
Excellent video. I'm a 52 year old woman. I'm weigh 237 lbs and am struggling to lose weight. I exercise regularly, an hour 5 days a week. Not losing any weight. I have to do better with food. Sugar addict..
You cannot exercise yourself to good health. Rather, you need to start eating real food again. Fake food destroys your health.
Understanding the science is the easy part of weight loss, thanks to your clear presentations! The hard part is self discipline to follow the science. But we all can accomplish something positive if we really want to. Stay educated and motivated and great results will follow!
The water-dam analogy was spot on! Love all your videos. Hopefully, one day I can make it to your office.
Just found your videos and I love the content. Thank you
Thank You Shawn Staley. Welcome to the channel. I'm so glad you find it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I began to watch your vỉdeo just a couple of day ago. Yet, i have learned a precious thing. That is never give up hope about reversing one's poor health. Thank you for your great help.
''We don't have to teach the water to flow towards sea level.'' Priceless. Thank you.
Amazing talk and clarity
Thanks for explaining these things in a way that’s easy to understand! 5 months into this lifestyle, quickly lost 20 pounds, cut my blood pressure medicine by half and weaned myself off of the antidepressants that I’ve been on for the last 10 years. Something about IF is a mood elevator.
That's amazing! SO glad that you were able to wean off the medication, that's no small feat!

Good video, I'm thin-fat and 64 year old. I try to get less stomach fat and rebuild my muscles again. I will start up the regular training again. I don-t get enough sleep but I working on getting back to normal.
I enjoy listening to you, you have a very relaxing voice and energy. 👍
Thank You Change Name. I'm so glad you like it and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
You look younger than in your 4 year old videos, this is proof that your method works. 😍👍 Thank you for this outstanding presentation.
The easiest way to lose belly fat is minimum 18 hour fast, and keto. If you have stubborn belly fat, getting your carbs close to zero is most effective.
If carnivore diet is too extreme, you can add in nutrient dense foods that are still very low carb like avocado and leafy greens.
Next is HIIT, sleep minimum 8 hours quality sleep, and get rid of crappy stressful people for 2 weeks 🤣🤣🤣🤓🤓
Thank You The 5 Minute Body. LOL. 2 weeks, then what? 😄
@@drekberg I don't have that answer🤣🤣 perhaps focusing on meditation will relax our stress response to such people (?) Or even better box breathing 🤓
@@ThePrimal.Podcast you should have made the video.
2 weeks without crappy, stressful people?
Sounds splendid!
Resistance training more than HIIT.
thank you dr. stan, what you do here on youtube is helping alot of people to get better health and better life.
Great video!
Have you ever thought of doing a video on where the fat goes when it’s burned\ how the amount of fat cells never actually diminish? So someone who was once overweight has a higher chance of returning as a result of harbouring less fat, but the same amount of fat cells?
For instance, when I go off keto, I puff up like a balloon despite having lost a tremendous amount of weight.
Thanks again!
Love you Sir. Can you Please make a video about optimization of SLEEP? THANKS
It can be so frustrating after losing 100+ pounds to get stuck about 20 pounds early, or to even gain back 10 or 15! This is true even if you know that the 10 or 15 is mostly or all muscle. You can know that your body is changing, and even see it in the mirror, but to still see the fat you want to get rid of can be maddening. Then, if you're not careful, bad habits can creep in. The temptation is to "double down" and "work harder." It seems like sometimes what's necessary is to take a stress vacation and be good to yourself.
Thank You Carbage Man. It is all about balance. 😄
Try going back to the basics of Keto. Clean keto. The body needs to confusion. Try it. ❤️
@@gayle2850 Already there.
Thanks. Great video. I feel like I need to go start farming.
I need to go through this piece of information for couple of times before unstandindg it to some extent. Thanks for comprehensive information.
Thank You Ace Leaf. Just focus on the principles. The more videos you watch the more you will see it starting to fit together. 😄
Thank you i learned something new today i lost 20 kg and I gained it back again I'm not happy nobody to blame but myself. Appreciate your video 🙏
Love all your videos, but this one really helped me understand what my body is doing. How it is responding to my weight loss. I just told my husband that I felt like my body was processing food /carbs better after 6 months of working to better my blood sugar levels. I couldn't understand why. Knowing now that these changes can show up over time helps. It was like my body flipped a switch. I am down 51 pounds and am looking forward to adding more items on your list. Refining my food choices more and moving are next. I have Lupus so moving has been last on my list.
Thank You Tabitha Helt. I'm glad you are being patient and seeing results. With Lupus, gut health and avoiding food sensitivities is key. 😄
Everything you explain makes good sense. Thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Ekberg! Thanks to your videos I learned so much, changed my lifestyle, educated myself in a way that is not only accessible but also extremely accurate and true - my body proved it, my wonderful health proved it, I continue to follow what I learned from you and the results are available. Stay safe and thank you, again!

In an ocean of negativity your channel is a refuge.
Thank you for the positivity and valuable information ...
I am deep into my IF+Keto routine and still 10 pounds away from my ideal weight (already lost 20 pounds pretty effortlessly). The fat on my belly that used to be hard as rock has turned soft like cotton. Still I am stuck at my current setpoint and just cannot lose weight any further.
I have tried these but nothing's worked:-
1. Tried almost 0 carbs for a couple of days to smash down the setpoint
2. Tried water fast for 2 days straight.
3. Tried to increase the intensity and duration of weight training.
4. Increased low-intensity cardio duration.
5. Increased fiber and protein intake by a little.
6. Increased the duration of Parasympathetic breathing exercise.
7. Tried Yoga stretches and increased the intake of Cod liver oil.
8. Increased the duration of sunbathing as well as exposure.
9. Increased the frequency of probiotic foods like homemade curd and pickles.
I don't know what else I can try to lose those last 10 pounds. Any recommendations are most welcome :D
Seems like you are in the right track, I would love to add something that would solve it for you because I think you are being very methodical and thoughtful , I suppose all I can recommend is staying the course you are on with an increased focus on patience? You got this
keep on with the keto and IF, ive lost a lot more weight than you had to and ive had loads of stalls , i kept on doing the same thing and the stalls went and the loss started again.
Have you tried Hiit cardio ? Hiit training 2 times a week should do it !!! Dr Berg has excellent videos on hiit training.
I was at the same position as you until I managed my stress level and sleep time and quality. These two may be as important as eating whole food and moving during the day.
Keep trying
Wooow…I’m someone who has lost 95lbs from 245 to 150lbs. I'm 19 and 5’9” I always had that thought of why am I able to eat so much if not the same at my current weight compared to when I was 245. U answered that in this video it’s the hormones, etc. I have not gained weight and have been successful to maintain it for 1 1/2 years now. lol, all my friends look at me funny when I’m able to eat a 20oz steak with Brussel sprouts and a baked potato. And we’re all the same weight but they were never above 150lbs. This is so crazy. Thank u Dr. Sten
Love this video so much! Exactly what I needed today. I feel like I’m on my way!
These are some of the best science explainers I've ever seen, especially for any non-scientist. I'm so glad to see this caliber of instruction on the internet, considering what else is out there in 2022...
Me too!! He's a gem😊
I have the impression that we humans generally eat too much, even if it's healthy food. as soon as we watch tv or sit down we just have to have something in our mouth, right?
Hi dr. Ekberg. Thank you for the valuable information
As important and specific as all your other videos have been which complement this video, this one is the most vital and all-encompassing you've produced. I can not thank you enough Doctor.
Respect. You just keep reminding me to do the right thing whenever I watch your videos.
❤️ from South Korea/Canada/Phil
Thank you Dr Sten for another excellent teaching session. I always come away feeling encouraged and empowered to change. It’s working!!
Good Stuff ..Losing weight can be a tough battle unless you are willing to cut down on unhealthy foods and do simple exercises.
I've been struggling with the belly fat loss. I have lost over 10kg in the last 3 months but I still have belly fat and love handles. Going to carry on with the intermittent fasting and will have a look at this video
You need to work out on top of diet to lose any belly fat
Very good complete explanation..thanks
First on - last off. I went from 224 to 157, and only lost the belly fat when I dropped below 165, which was my weight when 17 years old. NO belly fat at 17, and NO belly fat now at 69.
Joe how did you do it
There is hope for me then
Yup last to put in, first to go too!
My bottom could use some roundness. My bust could too!
Nope. Never. 🤦♀️
Remove the obstacles, and health will flow again-simplistic but genius concept!!
Another brilliant presentation of what goes on with being healthy Doc! I try to keep up with your hints and advices and yesterday I noticed amazing thing - I weight 1,5 kilogram more but my waist shrinks like mad, what I see in mirror is outstanding. I exercise around 3 times a week and I feel more resistant and powerful, mentally also thanks to meditation. Muscles build up and show up. I started in August 2021 and I believe that in May 2022 I will get to my dream shape and condition of health.
Thank you KingOfWesteros 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! 😄
How are things going
I have learned more from your videos than any book or other supposed experts. You validate so much of what I have suspected all my life.
I recently decided to stop eating snacks like chocolate and chips, cause my walking pants had gotten hard to button. So far it’s been surprisingly easy. Been a couple months. Decided not to exercise in addition cause I have experience of that combined with watching what I eat makes me extremely hungry. I have gone from 77 kg to 72,5 so far. Goal is 69.
I used to be underweight back in the day. Ate loads of chocolate and chips, and regular meals, but also worked as a waitress plus had dance lessons twice a week.
So I figured, if I wanna lose weight, but not exercise, it should still be really effective dropping the chocolate and chips. I’m really hoping I won’t rubber band back up when (if) I reach my goal. But have the plan of weighing in every morning, and if I’m 70+, I’m not allowed to snack that day. Might set goal to 65, which used to be my comfort weight. If body allows it with my low effort approach.
Wish me luck.
Hi. Good luck I know you can do it. Because you were skinny before. Aim for 65kg trust me that's when you will look really attractive to guys and will show. Don't worry if you have some down there we love it.
Dilyan - bf is attracted to me regardless thankfully:) but wanna be a bit healthier. I’m 180 tall. My lowest was 54 kg, and my “usual “ used to be a steady 60. Was on the skinny side. 65 probably best.
Dilyan - and thanks for the well wishes :)

Dr. Ekberg, first I want to tell you how much I appreciate your very clear explanations of what promotes good health in these videos. One would think this should be sufficient for viewers to watch, learn and follow. But honestly, I am struggling here in my late 40s to get started. Do you have a particular video that helps someone like me take first steps? If not, I'm sure many others would benefit from such a guide. Your work here is such a treasure to your viewers. Thank you!
I am in my 50’s and what I started to do is just try the 16:8 fasting. I try to narrow my window and I miss breakfast and it has worked for me.
