If you want to learn more about intermittent fasting ♦ Watch This Next: 15 Intermittent Fasting Mistakes That Make You Gain Weight ua-cam.com/video/N1zjLsnHDPo/v-deo.html
Dr. Sten Ekberg watching this video eating eggs spinach sausage avocado olives and a slice of salmon. Yummm... Who needs carbs ! I’m 52. My blood work is great ! Before Keto I had fatty liver. My weight isn’t coming down as I wish , I don’t count micros , something I resent to do as a remnant of weight watcher program.
How do I get all the calories in just one meal? Is it okay if I just eat what I can? I have not been getting hungry until the time to eat or sometimes way into the future.
About a year ago I doubled down on Keto / OMAD ... I lost 115 lbs (Going from 350 to 235). My AIC went from 12.7 to 5.8 ... the doctors at Kaiser were stunned that I had thrown away the insulin and metformin which I knew were killing me. I did as much cardio as I could and I've built up my lower body strength enough to jog... but shin splints kept me from keeping up that intensity. I try to do 30 minutes of medium intensity elliptical every day. Now that I've hit 235 , it's like slamming into a wall, and my AIC is creeping up (now 6.9). Even keeping my sugars under 20g a day, and meals to once a day... I've started to gain weight and I still get ridiculously high blood sugar (like 190). I'm not consuming that many calories in that single meal... usually 1500 or less. I'm kind of stumped as to how to push that needle down and get to healthy weight.
Good on ya, S.W. BEST. I've never smoked and I do ok eating the right foods, but man, alcohol is my Achilles heal. I'm talking I drink about 4-5 G&Ts a week, not a raging alcoholic but probably not helping, either. Did you just make up your mind to stop drinking or did you use a process?
Quit smoking 8th sept ..4 kilo weight gain .doing omd and alternative day fasting ..I find fasting teaches me too control my emotions and reactions to triggers ..When you fast you have to feel the feelings and learn to let it go .Yoga 3 times a week as well as walking everyday
OMAD and Keto has been the magic bullet I've been looking for all my life. Such a shame I've been trashing my body all these S.A.D. years (I'm 64) and yo-yo dieting with no success. Can't see needing more than one meal a day anymore. At 6'-5" and 305 lbs. I began Keto last Sept. I'm now down to 235 and off B.P. meds after nearly 30 years. Want to drop another 10 lbs. or so and know I can stay there for the rest of my life now. Keep up the good fight Sten.
G'day,, well i'm so glad to read this, i thought being nearly 50 it would be so hard to lose weight, they say it's way way harder when old, i'm so glad to know i have a chance :)
I have been on OMAD for over two years. It has helped me with not only weight control but my blood work has been in the safe zones. ( triglycerides in particular) One thing I strongly want to emphasize is the minimalistic aspects of managing the quality of intake. When managing three meals a day it is very difficult to get a good balance in all three of these meals. With one meal I can use the extra time and money to make that meal really count. Also with the mindset of realizing that we do not need any where near the frequency of eating or the amount we consume. I find it laughable now looking back at all of the conditioning we receive about what is important in our everyday life style. All of the lies we bought into, the fear, the paranoia, is just incredible. When I explain to people my life style they just shake their head and look at me like I am going to die. Then they tell me how they could never do this because their body type would not allow it. Then when I laugh and tell them I have maintained this for over two years with only favorable outcome they have no argument except this isn’t breakfast the most important meal of the day. I eat in the evening. Then they say that’s the worst thing you could do is go to bed on a full stomach. First I say yes breakfast for me is the most important meal ,I break my fast at night and it is my only meal. Then I point out that all animals rest after eating and doing excretion while your body should be in repair cannot happen & having all your blood volume preoccupied with digestion takes the resources otherwise needed for excretion. Both these arguments are part of the food industry conspiracy. Getting back to management , shopping for three meals, doing dishes and cleaning up. Waisting water and energy (heating water ,heating food) Addition waist packaging etc. this in itself has taken great stress and energy out of my lifeI now I can use these resources for other problems. When I look around now and listen to people talk about diet & life style I just feel sorry for their misinterpretation of reality.
Standard American diet=Sad, it is so sad how much unnecessary disease and suffering is caused by this.what is also sad is how much of our food that should be good and healthy is not.
I'm losing heaps of weight that i haven't been able to shift in 30 years, and feeling great. All due to your informative, fascinating videos. Its life saving information. I'm so grateful to you.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, my wife and I are now entering two months on OMAD, indeed our lives are tremendously changing for better, all those dizziness, headaches and lots of medications are no more. There is high hope of better life ahead. I stopped taking meds and yet feeling far better than before. We stopped sugar, fructose, honey, all types of bread and preservatives of any kind. Thank you Dr. Ekberg once again for saving the world from the greediness of the food processing industry/ companies and the Pharmatutical companies, these two don't care about human lives, but are only interested in making profits over the number of deaths!!
I started LC and IF in 2013. I dropped from 305 to 275 and stalled. However with the lc my A1C dropped from 12.2 to 6.0+/- and weight stabilized. Still obese however. I tightened up and dropped down to 250+-. Bounced around that weight. I am now an over the road driver, home every other day. I decided to do strict keto and either water fast or OMAD while out, refeeding while home. This has worked astonishingly well. In two months I have dropped to 230. I have leveled off but am weight stable at 230. I still have 70 lbs to lose but this is not a race. I am extremely insulin resistant from 35 years of obesity. I now track blood ketones and glucose. The ketones tell me my fat burning level. Just another valuable tool for watching my body adjust to a healthy way of eating. I have done many 36 hour water fasts, the average time for a round trip 1000 mile drive. I often will eat a very specific 300 calorie keto meal I designed at the 24 hour mark (OMAD). I have done a half dozen 48 hour water fasts and two 72 hour water fasts in these last two months. All of this is what drives a pretty serious and steady weight loss. OMAD and keto really rocks for finally losing weight. And with a keto diet, the fasting is easy (er).
Thank you John Colby for sharing your story. That is so awesome. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Seems like a great idea to fast on the road, so you don't have to eat a bunch of diner food. Try measuring a fasting insulin and calculate your HOMA-IR. That would tell you more about how the IR is changing. Keep it up!
@@drekberg I follow Dr Boz. She uses a ratio of glucose to ketones with the concept that anything under 80 is "fat burning" and under 40 is probably in autophagy. It seems a reasonable concept. It is essentially a proxy for insulin. Low insulin allows high ketones. And yes, avoiding truck stop food can only be a positive. But equally critical is the lack of "social eating" making fasting much easier.
The glucose to ketones sounds interesting. I think its a useful tool, but I've seen people with 100 glucose and 2.5 ketones and fasting insulin of 20 who are not losing a single pound. I'll have to study that some more though.
@@drekberg well as we know in the end calories do matter. That is really the point of the fasting side. If sugar is high and ketones low I will not lose weight because insulin will be high trying to drive the sugar down. IF sugar is low and ketones high then that is a good sign that insulin is low which is required to lose weight. However if I am eating a bunch of fat, at a calorie surplus then I may very well still gain weight. If I get into ketosis and I am fasting then I am almost certainly losing weight. Even that is not certain. If I am highly stressed with high cortisol then it might be possible (short term) to not lose weight. That said it is really hard for the body to not lose weight when fasting. The BMR cannot drop to zero this side of death. No calories in with calories out means weight loss. 😁 The ratio is nothing more than a pair of the more important bio markers, which happen to be opposites of each other. They do tell us a lot about where energy is coming from. More importantly they are markers that I can check without labs.
LISTEN to this guy ! I did ! I went from a size 48 jeans to a size 32 in less than 3 months ! I eat excellent food, and it costs much less because I don't eat as much. I am NEVER hungry, and I feel better. I tried every diet on the market, and it didn't work ! THIS DID ! I am never going back ! If you are tired of people giving you looks at the street every time you go out, follow Dr. Stens advice. Just understand there are side effects. IT will cost you a lot of money to buy new clothes ! 😂 DML.
Game changer for me. Understanding insulin resistance. Huge. My weight is dropping consistently on OMAD and i was able to stop eating 6, 7, 8 times a day. I added a little exercise every day and it works! THANK YOU, 👍
I love OMAD...1) Eat once and done 2) only real fasting protocol in my opinion as you actually fast for awhile not eating 23 plus hours a day 3) cheap way to eat also...16/8 allows very little actual fasting time...I started with that...then The Warrior (20/4) and then OMAD...I think the misconception alot of people have on IF is your fasting window starts the second you set the fork down and swallow your last bite. It doesn't...The post-absorptive state lasts until 8 to 12 hours after your last meal, which is when you enter the fasted state. It typically takes 12 hours after your last meal to fully enter the fasted state. When you're in the fasted state your body can burn fat that has been inaccessible during the fed state. So if you do a 16/8 and you may only actually be in a fasted state 4 hours but on OMAD it is at least 12 hours and as much as 16...
Very good points. That's why everyone should do what you've done. Start 16:8 and then go to 20:4 or OMAD if necessary or if you like to see what happens with longer fasting.
@E.S. Slc. You could eat less unless you are trying to keep weight on. If you need the calories you can change up the pattern and eat two meals some days with more calories and mix in some OMAD with less calories.
@@drekberg I'm trying to lose fat but I am afraid of "slowing down my metabolism"? If that's a thing. And sometimes I eat more than I should just for that reason :) We have been thought a wrong way of doing it for so long. Thank you your response and keep up the good work! It helps a lot.
I've been doing some form of intermittent fastingh since August 2019. I started with a 48-hour fast, and then when I went back to feeding, I started doing 1-hour OMAD. Frankly, this was by default because after one modest plate of food, I was stuffed! (My previous normal was TWO full helpings). Also, my palate began to change and as I moved into ketosis, my breath changed (one of the temporary signs of ketosis). Now I have settled in to 16:8 eating because it's less restrictive. I gave up artifical sweeteners and all I drink is water, water + ACV, or black coffee. I started this to reverse my metabolic syndrome (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure). Over the years, due to work stress and insomia, I had packed on 250 lbs onto my 5'6" frame (prior to that I had a muscular 170 lb frame). I went to the doctor a month ago and ALL of my tests were in the normal range (blood pressure, cholesterol numbers, blood sugar). Another measure that was reduced, but still in an abnormal range, was my HA1c because it's an average measure that takes months to normalize. I should point out that I could only be successful at this after leaving my pressure-cooker of a job this past spring. OMAD and intermittent fasting saved my life. Thank you Dr. Ekberg; your videos helped to shepherd me through the process, and I still rely on your expertise.
Excellent presentation! OMAD keto is a marvelous tool and the Gold standard in so many ways. Your body will LOVE you for it. The only negatives are; 1) the long physical adjustment period getting into a keto state without 'wobbles' and being comfortable, 2) the social pressure to EAT; family gatherings, lunch invites etc. Initially, I had to become a recluse just to stay on track. LOL It really is incredible how much emphasis is placed on 'consuming'. And 3) going away on holiday requires planning. I load up a cooler with 'good' oils, macadamia nuts, soft cheeses, avocados and sugar free 100% cocoa bars to ensure most of my calorie consumption is fat. The bright side; if flying for travel, you get to skip all those nasty airport/airline meals (and not miss them). Just be strong, the rewards will blow you away.
Nicely put Phil, The distractions and social pressure is epic when trying to keep to the game plan. I do Keto for diabetic management of which my Doc is fully supportive - but it is despairingly easy to fail to execute in the face of all the distractions. Overall, the benefits have emerged but I could do a lot better.
Very nice explanation. OMAD changed my life. I have done three 5day water fasts and I am on omad diet, all in last 80 days. I feel so much better and healthier. And Ive also lost 24 kgs so far (started on 115 kgs..).
This is one of the very, very best videos I've come across on this subject. The explanation of how this works and why is very lucid - if you're only going to watch one video about why those suffering from obesity are fat and how to do something about it, watch this one. My Story: In July of 2018 my weight was around 27½ stone (385 lbs / 175 kg). I'd been fat for around 20 years. I'd not long turned 55 years old and just by chance I went for a ride on a push bike and found that my knees / ankles didn't hurt - but boy, was I out of condition / puff. I managed half a mile before I had to stop (sweating profusely). Over the next month to 6 weeks or so, I went out and rode around 2 miles (~3km) initially once every 4 days, then once every 3 days. I managed to make my trips ~3 miles (~4.5km). I had lost about half a stone (~7 lbs / 3kg). On August 19 2018, I decided to go out for a ride on a bike EVERY NIGHT (evening). Other than a few nights lost to the weather for more than 8 months, I was out every night. 3 miles a night became 5 miles a night and on the run into Xmas of 2018, my weight had come down to ~24 stone (336 lbs / ~150 Kg) - but even though I had been cycling further and faster and successfully climbing local hills on the bike the weight loss had stalled. WHY? Well, I'd been spoken to like a 5 year old by the staff at local diabetes clinic for years about not eating cakes and biscuits and instead eating "healthy stuff" like cereals and fruit and drinking milk and low fat (which I had actually been practicing, I'll add) and taking exercise... Now here I was putting an hour a night into going out EVERY NIGHT too - and little more coming off. So I went on google. I came across an ordinary American bloke's video called "Butter makes your pants fall off." Enlightening! My 2019 New Year resolution was to put the low carb diet into operation. I bought a diary for the year and began writing down my weight on waking (having been to the loo) & blood pressure. Then How many miles I might ride in the evening and finally my blood sugars during the evening. My weight on 31 December 2018 was 23 stone 8 (=330 lbs ~119.6Kg). I lost over 3 stone (~45 lbs / 20 Kg) in 6 weeks and by 16 July my weight had dropped to this year's low of 16 stone 4 lbs (224 lbs / ~101kg). Currently my weight this morning (at 1 September 2019) was 16/13 (9 lbs / ~4kg heavier) - but I have been enjoying the summer and eating ice cream and not quite going out for a ride every day through doing other things!!! The long and short of why I've added my story is to underline that THIS WORKS! Sten puts into words what I have found out for myself with a little seeding over Christmas and then lots of empirical experience. No one likes being fat and overweight - but now *I know why* and what would be remiss would be not to do anything about it. And as for OMAD / feeling hungry, this man's comments about this are absolutely true too. Although my body periodically suggests I might want to eat, I really don't get hunger pangs like I used to (where it feels like your belly is about to cut your throat). Eating OMAD is something you just get used to. I had previously watched a motivational video on You Tube featuring the late John Rohn in which he'd said "What if you should walk around the block for your good health - and you don't or WON'T?!" along with the punch line *"Come on man - you gotta be smarter than that"* - well thanks to John Rohn and other contributors like Sten on You Tube, I have the way out of the obesity mire. So - if you're fat, do it for yourself. There is a way out, it isn't easy but if you want it enough give it a try and persevere. You are smarter than a couch potato - now you know, now you know!
As a practicing DC for 35 years, I am so grateful for your organized and easily understood videos. They are the basis of my explaining messy concepts to my patients. Thank you so much!
I've been doing omad on and off for over 52 years. I also had high activity jobs,mostly constantly walking for 8 hours never sitting, but have since retired .In the last 2 years with daily walking and exercise I've been able to go from 1000 MG of metformin a day to 0. Omad /fasting works!
Thank you westfield90. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I have been following your advice as well as a couple of others to get healthy by lowering insulin resistance. It started with fear. I have a fatty liver and suffered with hepatitis (cured) and was obese for many years. My doctor read me the riot act but could not lose weight. I started low carb, moderate protein, fat. After one year now I have just started OMAD because after losing 59 pounds I have reached a plateau. I am and have been exorcising how you recommend. I feel great. I am not hungry at all. I am now only overweight and no longer obese. This not a diet. This is a life change. I grew up on homemade pasta. I no longer have any cravings while those around me eat sweets and carbs galore at the dinner table. My blood pressure has come down as a bonus. I still have a way to go but it is a piece of cake. Pun intended. Thanks.
This is to share my weight loss journey to all mediums that inspired me and hopefully can inspire someone else as well. I lost 13 pounds in last 11 months , it sounds slow but I am so glad that I have achieved this through intermittent fasting, 24-48hrs water fasting, LCHF diet and mild exercise. it’s been an amazing journey from 6 meals (3 big and 3 snacks low fat diet) to OMAD (one meal a day). The biggest surprise was that I am losing fat from all parts like arms, belly and hips, but not from my face and bust line which was completely opposite what I experienced 10 years back when I was in UK with LCLF (low carbs low fat) diet and rigorous exercise almost 5-6 hours a week. I enjoyed this transformation as well as but once I was back in India , I couldn’t continue gym and gained back what I lost. Though my lifestyle changed from sugar laden meals to no sugar at all and occasional rice meals as we Indians love eating rice. I was always overweight but i started my weight loss journey in my 30s and now in 40s I was determined to find a sustainable way of losing and maintaining weight. I am glad that my brother introduced me to bulletproof coffee and Keto diet talks on UA-cam. So big thanks to my bro and UA-cam giving us an opportunities to understand the vast and new information on Keto and sustainable weight management options. My Tricks that worked on me are - 0. I plan and cook my food from whole food with saturated fats like mustard oil, coconut oil, clarified butter , butter etc. 0. I make sure that I move around a bit but depends on the day schedule 0. If I have socialising events coming up - I fast the previous day and the following day to hit a balance and I just love it.
Dr. Sten, This is the best explanation I´ve reard about this subject since 3 years ago, when I started keto. I am on OMAD finally since 1 month and feeling that this now is going steady. I am very grateful for the work you´ve given to us and I see it as a precious gift. Thank you very much.
I have learn so much from your videos. Since watching your videos I have done Keto and some fasting I have went from 310 to 265. Have long way to go but I don’t have craving and feeling great.
I’m grateful for the understanding. For years I felt there was something wrong with me. This information broken down and explained has opened my mind. I finally feel hope. This has helped tremendously.
Thankyou Dr for your clear explanation and valuable information I followed OMAD and no sugar at all... for 2 months and now 76 from 86. Great transformation and feeling like am flying in air. Still going on, for a target to be 66 in another 1 r 2 month. Keep rocking Dr. 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve tried every diet under the sun…but OMAD and keto have changed my life! I would never have thought that I could go 24 hours (or more!) without eating…but I’m losing weight, and feel amazing! Keto recipes are changing for the better, and with the OMAD lifestyle, it’s so much easier. My goal is to get to 48 hours, but with baby steps…thank you for your amazing videos…they make total sense. I’ll never go back to that old outdated way of eating ever again!! 😊
This is so true and totally explains why people, especially women, slowly keep gaining weight when they're in their 30s, 40s or even late 20s...Even if they eat "normally". I had the flattest stomach on the earth until 38 that's because I never ate refined sugar. Since I went back on sugar again I got fatter and fatter even though I didn't eat excessive amounts of calories (most of the time) and walked an hour a day. Now I understand why. Hurried back to keto.
yes, I must see my body as intelligent, I've been on quasi-warrior fluctuating between 16-20 hours of IF for 1.5 months now, preparing my eating schedule to work with my work schedule in order to be on OMAD, I succeeded twice and I did feel amazing afterwards, I am getting there!
Went on Keto/Intermittent fasting 16/8 on Jan 19 this year, started 275 ugly lbs, now after 30 days I am 25 lbs down and on day 2 of OMAD. I am not hungry, I feel great at 70 yrs old and I do not crave sugar like I used to, My goal is to lose over a hundred lbs and OMAD will get me there, thank you Dr Sten!
Listen to him. My husbaand and I lost our extra weight and have kept it off for over three years. We eat three huge meals a day. The trick is to eat what a human being can digest. We do cheat one to three times each week, usually out of politeness.. But, we don't feel the need to cheat. We don't exercise. We have the energy to work hard. I am 73 years old. He is 80 years old.
Dr. Ekberg, your channel has transformed my diet beliefs. The keto challenge is working for me better than you could imagine. I was raised to eat keto but my brain had forgotten it.
Thank you, with your help I now eat 2 meals a day, 1 meal at 3pm and 1 meal at 6pm, and once or twice a week I do OMAD. I know it is the exercise (or lack of) that’s my biggest problem, but I had my first Spinraza injection today, I see the light ahead 😊
Always the clearest, concise, most articulate and informative advice on UA-cam! No doubt about it. Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare and share all of this knowledge with us. Very much appreciated!
Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Thank You Calogero Cassaro so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Well I started omad and it works for me. I made a lifestyle change want to be healthier and I’m also gluten free and have a lot of allergies but I’m working on the lifestyle first. Thanks for not being a bandaid doctor. There are alot of them out there so thank you.
5 years ago i was 195 kilos. i start eating 1 egg and a salat for 6 months. i lost 80 kilos. i stay to this weight for the 5 years stabilize my kilos. now i start omad low carbs and training (1 hour weights lifting per day and 1 hour walk) and lost 6 kilos in 2 months, and i believe i lost more fat because my muscles grow much i am 69 y.o and i am in better condition that was 25 years ago. thanks doctor for your advises
I don't usually watch or listen to lengthy videos that are not of the field of which I research, but I've been watching and listening to your videos, from one to the next for four straight hours. Yes, I've watched a "couple" of other videos on how to lose weights but none seemed to make any connection to my search, however, this is it. I don't regret the hours I spent today (24/09/2019) following through several of your videos, in fact I have you now as my "Health Educator," I will be among others who are and will be greatly benefit from your priceless efforts to put together all the details in to every presentation that you kindly share without demanding any costs to know the rest. You are one of the few amazing and caring human that exists in this money hungry world. Blessings to you and your family. Thank you again...Don't disappear on me brother ;)
Im doing Warrior OMAD where my eating window is no earlier than 4pm and finishes 8pm. I can be flexible with when i eat my one meal. I stick to a lot of green veg, eggs, avocados and some fish or vegetarian proteins. Have lost 22 lbs in the space of a month and consistently lose more weight. I avoid processed carbs like bread pasta and avoid potatos and starchy vegtables. Its the first time in my life i have ever actually lost weight 😊
I have been eating one meal a day for a few weeks now following a 96 hour fast. I haven't lost much weight, maybe a kilo or two. I'm 45yrs old. 240lb. 5ft 10inches. Low amount of exercise due to work commitments. No health problems, none smoker. Tryimg to decide if i should do another 96 hr fast. I eat a full balanced diet. One meal/ day. Thinking about another 48 hour fast and maybe eating every Two days and increasing exercise. Such a mission to lose weight. Hardest thing I have ever done.
Thank you doc for this explanation. Finally I understand how my body works. Maybe I’m thick, but I’m four months going without sugar and almost none carbs, listening to you and other docs on ut, but after this - I understand, I know. Thanks again ❤️
Thank you Liz B. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks so much for your videos... they are such an encouragement to me! Over the years, I felt a lot of stress from my work and, eating according to the Canadian Food Guide, I gained a lot of weight, because of too much carbs. I am certain that I have developed a lot of insulin resistance. I was following the standard advice of my doctor, where I was trying to work out 1 hour a day and eat less, but to my frustration, I was still gaining weight! I finally learned about insulin resistance and the pounds are dropping off without doing any exercise, just by using intermittent fasting. Late last year, I had lost almost 30 pounds just following a keto diet, but I got off the rails at my daughter's wedding, and went back to my old habits. I gained the weight back. I realized that I have to change my lifestyle, not just go on a diet. With the OMAD, I have started back on track and have started losing weight again. I will also be incorporating weight training and some low intensity cardio as well. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I am determined to make the necessary changes to my lifestyle to reach a healthy weight and keep the weight off.
The best explanation of our current dietary eating issues I've heard. It's truly a current day social issue , of following very flawed dietary traditions.
Good afternoon. I watch your program on UA-cam regularly. I must first thank you for your valuable advices. I am a diabetic. I am now following intermittent fasting but not strictly as recommended. I take two meals a day. My first one is lunch at noon and second one is dinner at 9.00 pm. I do 10 units of rapid insulin at noon and 10 units of rapid insulin and 30 units of long lasting insulin every night after dinner. I do not eat carbohydrate like rice, bread or any form of flour since January this year. My lunch and dinner consist mainly of a bowl of salad ( cucumber, laitues, cabbage and carrots). And a piece of chicken, or canned tuna salad, or fish or lamb. Sometimes I take some vegetables along. I take 3 cups of red wine everyday. I do not take whisky or any other drink apart from red wine. My blood sugar fasting is in between 5 and 6.5 most of the time. My HBA1C is in between 6.5 and 7 most of the time. I have a check for HBA1C every six month. Please let me know if Iam on a good path and what I should do to improve. I have tried to stop the wine but Iam not able to. Regards Pavaday
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I finally feel seen. I constantly want to eat, but eat very healthfully & never knew why I was always wanting to eat! Your info on fasting has changed my life! Fasting keeps me from constantly eating & it’s working to make a dent in my weight! I cannot thank you enough!
Thank you Rita Bruno. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Thank you fernando gonzales. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you muchly for this important information. I'm 20/4 Keto, but sometimes I am OMAD, it depends what I've eaten the night before for Dinner, certain foods fill me up so much, that I don't even think about food till hubby says, "What's for Dinner,?" The next night. It happens a couple off times a week. My Hubbies been OMAD for 6 months, & he's lost 45 pounds. We're both convinced that giving up sugar was the best start to changing our lifestyle for the better. Have a Happy Weekend, & take care. ❤🙂🐶
i have been on One time meal a day for over 4 years. I feel great. I hardly ever get sick. I don't call it fasting. This is my regular meal plan. once in a while i eat two times meal if i am with friends.
I wish I had discovered Dr. Ekberg earlier, better late than never though. Started Int. fasting about a year ago and it's been great. Currently trying the OMAD with Keto and exercise to hopefully help get myself closer to my goal weight. I have about 30lbs to drop. I feel my body adjusting nicely to this new lifestyle and love watching these videos to keep me on track, focused, and consuming the right foods.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, I'm 62 having a weigh issue whole my life, even as a baby I was chubby (my mom was a great baker ;) ). I tried so many diets, even recently on Keto for almost a year I didn't loose much weigh. Now after watching your excellent video I understand why!!!! Thank you so much
Thank you HonzaEva for sharing your story. Keep it up! You have to heal first. My next video is something you might be interest in on Friday. Let me know how it goes and you might need to look into intermittent fasting.
You have put together a great introduction to OMAD. Congrats. Very comprehensive in less than 30 minutes. Great! Keeping it 30 minutes or shorter is a must for me.
Thank you Carlos Roman. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Dr Sten, I found you just a few weeks ago, and I find your explanations so easy to follow and understand. Thanks for that. By the way, the old erroneous concepts about eating 3-4 meals a day, and not skipping breakfast is SO ingrained in most people's minds that is really hard to "show" them this should be the right way to eat. Even people in the medicine field seem to find it hard to believe. Thanks for such a great work!
Worked! Thanks! Husband Omad +keto (after heart attach and insuline resistence) lost almost 60pounds in 2 month ..hard to lose the 20pounds more to go ..walking with heart rate under 120 to see if helps
Thank you so much Dr Sten!! You have helped me recover and get on to a new life. My weight dropped 60 pounds so far, fat percentage from 36 to 26, and my triglycerides from 240 to 120 in just 2 months!!! Following your advise, Keto and OMAD are the reason for this change!!! Also, I forgot my blood sugar went from 250 to 70!!!!!
Well explained. I have Insulin Resistance, Pre -Diabetes, Fatty Liver and Hypothyroidism. I have given up most grains , I am working on rice , potatoes and chocolate. Thank you for attempting to educate us in simple plain language that is realistic.
Another benefit of not eating all the time is your teeth won't be under constant acid attack of carbs and sugar. Quite recently my dentist gave me praise when she asked how I eat and I answered not all the time (no snacks, chocolate bars etc.). IMO no one should drink sugary acid drinks (coke etc.) daily, once a week can be ok. Very good stuff here, I may try to follow Dr. Ekbergs advice because I've gained some weight during last year..
You are my new doctor and I thing you explained much better then all the other Dr I watch all thought more matharical never the less enjoyable thank you
Thank you Mike Gutrugianios. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Who are the 89 people who disapproved of this life-saving knowledge? My guess is: 1. People from the food industry profiting from the first two reasons mentioned. 2. People from the pharmaceutical companies profiting from the sick people that company #1 is producing. Or, 3. People so mentally and physically damaged from the two companies mentioned that can’t even see the difference. Even if you don’t care about OMAD, the information is worth a thumb up!
Since 12th February 2023,I stopped eating 1. Table Sugar 2. Rice ( All types) 3. Bakery Products ( Refined Carbohydrates) 4. Flavored Drinks ( Nescafé, Nestea etc ) 5. Soda drinks ( Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta etc..) & adapted to a 12 hour Fasting at Night. Recorded Fasting Blood Glucose Every Morning and graphed with excel & monitored the fluctuations & managed to maintain it two months average of 96.5 mg/dl. Increased intake of Protein (Chicken, Fish, Eggs,Salmon), Olive oil & Green Leafy Veggies (Mainly Cauliflower, Beans, Okra, Brokali & Parsley). During the day I had some milk with added coffee and dark chocolates ( 50% of Cocoa made in Sri Lanka) & occasionally some curd with one or two teaspoons of Honey. My HBA1c dropped from 9.3 to 5.7 by 12th April 2023 (Within exactly 60 days). Weight loss exactly 8kg. My BMI is exactly 22. I am so happy to bring down My HBA1c to None Diabetic level without any doctor fees, Prescription Drug Fees, Unnecessary Lab Report Fees & without time wasting. I am planning to drop it to 5 by 12 th May 2023. Meantime, I got my Lipid Profile, eGFR (Kidney Function Test), Complete Liver Profile, Full Blood Count & Specially the C - Peptide Report that measured the functionality of pancreas & all reports are almost perfect. My special Thanks going to Prof. Robet Lustig, Dr.Jason Fung, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr.KenDBerryMD, Nature’s path to wellness and My wife for preparing the delicious meals without Carbs.
Reason with facts equals a well done vid. I am 75 and doing what I call a modified keto OMAD diet for a short time then moving on to IF with and increase in carbs. Thanks.
I used to consume red bull couple times a day. 3 meals a day . Snacks in between . Pretty much religious with that eating unhealthy style .... I cut pasta , potatoes,bread and red bulls... I dont miss any of them once I started on low-carb . Then needed another challenge. Went and found keto. Then went from 2 meals a day... to OMAD Within 2 weeks . I feel more energetic ... and feel I can go more than 23 hrs IF . OMAD is treating me well. I'll do this for 4 months which will be October 2019. Look forward to check my weight and health . Its gonna be good . :)

Dr. Sten Ekberg It’s people like you that makes the world a better place. I’ll be sure to share this video when people ask about OMAD. this video can explain it better than me.
Dr Ekberg. Your videos are really brilliant . I always open UA-cam and always watch a couple of hours of your videos. Extremely brilliant and easy to understand. God bless you for sharing this information. I really enjoy your videos . Been on keto and OMAD . Have not tracked my loss (but I can see it on my clothes ) . I find OMAD very good . Used to be able to do this years ago. I find it great to continue with the OMAD. When I loose all the excess weight I'd be very happy . It's a mind set. Soldier on everyone
Just a quick report back.. I was probably 110kg.. started Keto and omad . Then added IF and now fasting for 72hrs on and off . It's now August . I'm down to 95kg . And still going strong
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg, this video series changed my life a lot. OMAD since 6 months now (not on Weekend), lose 18 Kilos from 115 to 97 kg, low sugar/KH, excersise every day I hope that give me some more years of healthy life (i am 65). I think that's priceless....
Getting bitten by a rattlesnake was the key that turned my life around. I fought the battle of T2 diabetes for 40 years. I followed faithfully the directives of the American diabetes Association and countless dieticians and endocrinologists. I was fatter' sicker' and poorer than before I started that journey. Then I was bitten by a rattlesnake and was flown to the hospital in Amarillo, Texas. There I met with the endocrinologist on staff. He told me to watch Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Jason Fung and do what they said. It has been the miracle I have been looking for for decades. Who knew that a snake would be the catalyst!
Love your clear description of what insulin is and how it works in the body and the differences between Type one and Type two diabetes. Thank you for your intelligent talks. So appreciated.
Thank you so much for your videos, I've learned a lot from them. And while I don't usually like to share instructive things (nobody likes a preacher on Facebook 😁) I have shared this video because there are still too many people out there who don't understand the basic mechanisms of weight loss and weight gain and it's just tragic!
Thank you Christine Roulin. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.

Dr. Sten Ekberg watching this video eating eggs spinach sausage avocado olives and a slice of salmon. Yummm...
Who needs carbs !
I’m 52. My blood work is great ! Before Keto I had fatty liver. My weight isn’t coming down as I wish , I don’t count micros , something I resent to do as a remnant of weight watcher program.
Very helpful, thanks!
How do I get all the calories in just one meal? Is it okay if I just eat what I can?
I have not been getting hungry until the time to eat or sometimes way into the future.
About a year ago I doubled down on Keto / OMAD ... I lost 115 lbs (Going from 350 to 235). My AIC went from 12.7 to 5.8 ... the doctors at Kaiser were stunned that I had thrown away the insulin and metformin which I knew were killing me. I did as much cardio as I could and I've built up my lower body strength enough to jog... but shin splints kept me from keeping up that intensity. I try to do 30 minutes of medium intensity elliptical every day. Now that I've hit 235 , it's like slamming into a wall, and my AIC is creeping up (now 6.9). Even keeping my sugars under 20g a day, and meals to once a day... I've started to gain weight and I still get ridiculously high blood sugar (like 190). I'm not consuming that many calories in that single meal... usually 1500 or less. I'm kind of stumped as to how to push that needle down and get to healthy weight.
Dr. Sten Ekberg
I watched all your videos at least twice 😊 they’re simply the best
Thanks a lot
Stopped smoking. Stopped eating bad food and drinking alcohol. Did my first 24hr water fast yesterday. Walk an hour a day. 😁
Excellent
Good on ya, S.W. BEST. I've never smoked and I do ok eating the right foods, but man, alcohol is my Achilles heal. I'm talking I drink about 4-5 G&Ts a week, not a raging alcoholic but probably not helping, either. Did you just make up your mind to stop drinking or did you use a process?
How are you doing bro? Wishing you all the best in life.
Quit smoking 8th sept ..4 kilo weight gain
.doing omd and alternative day fasting ..I find fasting teaches me too control my emotions and reactions to triggers ..When you fast you have to feel the feelings and learn to let it go .Yoga 3 times a week as well as walking everyday
How's it going
OMAD and Keto has been the magic bullet I've been looking for all my life. Such a shame I've been trashing my body all these S.A.D. years (I'm 64) and yo-yo dieting with no success. Can't see needing more than one meal a day anymore. At 6'-5" and 305 lbs. I began Keto last Sept. I'm now down to 235 and off B.P. meds after nearly 30 years. Want to drop another 10 lbs. or so and know I can stay there for the rest of my life now. Keep up the good fight Sten.
Thank you MiHiHemi for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up!
MiHiHemi -Same here bro! In my 60's and wish this info was available so many years ago. Congrats on the weight loss.
MiHiHemi me to. And hurt my children to...
so happy for you!!
G'day,, well i'm so glad to read this, i thought being nearly 50 it would be so hard to lose weight, they say it's way way harder when old, i'm so glad to know i have a chance :)
I have seen many teachers in my life and not many are as good in transfer of knowledge as you. Excellent style of delivery.
Omad has changed my life. Been doing it for 7 months, can’t even think of going back. I am so much happier and healthier
82 yrs. old in Sept. and finally getting the message on weight loss.
Thank you Robert E Hill. Well great. Now that you are middle aged.😀
Robert E Hill Me to, slow learner, I’m 72
82,don"t beat your self up,you obviously know what works!
Never too late! I’m 66 and prediabetic with some pretty serious metabolic disease. But I’m doing keto OMAD and feeling better every day.
It makes no sense that people would give this video a thumbs down. They must be very unhappy people.
Right? It's because they're just stupid! Hmmm, they are probably also Jillian Michaels fans.
Thank you Susan Brownell. I'm sure you're right.
@@NJ-hn4et LOL,,,,,!!
probably vegans
They're the ones who are angry with themselves for being obese and overfeeding their children in turn. One big angry family.
I have been on OMAD for over two years. It has helped me with not only weight control but my blood work has been in the safe zones. ( triglycerides in particular)
One thing I strongly want to emphasize is the minimalistic aspects of managing the quality of intake.
When managing three meals a day it is very difficult to get a good balance in all three of these meals. With one meal I can use the extra time and money to make that meal really count.
Also with the mindset of realizing that we do not need any where near the frequency of eating or the amount we consume.
I find it laughable now looking back at all of the conditioning we receive about what is important in our everyday life style.
All of the lies we bought into, the fear, the paranoia, is just incredible.
When I explain to people my life style they just shake their head and look at me like I am going to die. Then they tell me how they could never do this because their body type would not allow it. Then when I laugh and tell them I have maintained this for over two years with only favorable outcome they have no argument except this isn’t breakfast the most important meal of the day. I eat in the evening. Then they say that’s the worst thing you could do is go to bed on a full stomach.
First I say yes breakfast for me is the most important meal ,I break my fast at night and it is my only meal. Then I point out that all animals rest after eating and doing excretion while your body should be in repair cannot happen & having all your blood volume preoccupied with digestion takes the resources otherwise needed for excretion.
Both these arguments are part of the food industry conspiracy.
Getting back to management , shopping for three meals, doing dishes and cleaning up. Waisting water and energy (heating water ,heating food)
Addition waist packaging etc. this in itself has taken great stress and energy out of my lifeI now I can use these resources for other problems.
When I look around now and listen to people talk about diet & life style I just feel sorry for their misinterpretation of reality.
Standard American diet=Sad, it is so sad how much unnecessary disease and suffering is caused by this.what is also sad is how much of our food that should be good and healthy is not.
I have lost 35 lbs in 12 weeks doing OMAD.
Thank you Code Man for sharing your story. That is great. Keep it up!
Thank you. You are my inspiration! Your videos are amazing.
Thank you so much.
Wow, from the bottom of my heart congratulations and thank you for the inspiration.
Did u still eat in a deficit
I'm losing heaps of weight that i haven't been able to shift in 30 years, and feeling great. All due to your informative, fascinating videos. Its life saving information. I'm so grateful to you.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, my wife and I are now entering two months on OMAD, indeed our lives are tremendously changing for better, all those dizziness, headaches and lots of medications are no more. There is high hope of better life ahead. I stopped taking meds and yet feeling far better than before. We stopped sugar, fructose, honey, all types of bread and preservatives of any kind.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg once again for saving the world from the greediness of the food processing industry/ companies and the Pharmatutical companies, these two don't care about human lives, but are only interested in making profits over the number of deaths!!
I started LC and IF in 2013. I dropped from 305 to 275 and stalled. However with the lc my A1C dropped from 12.2 to 6.0+/- and weight stabilized. Still obese however. I tightened up and dropped down to 250+-. Bounced around that weight.
I am now an over the road driver, home every other day. I decided to do strict keto and either water fast or OMAD while out, refeeding while home. This has worked astonishingly well. In two months I have dropped to 230.
I have leveled off but am weight stable at 230. I still have 70 lbs to lose but this is not a race. I am extremely insulin resistant from 35 years of obesity.
I now track blood ketones and glucose. The ketones tell me my fat burning level. Just another valuable tool for watching my body adjust to a healthy way of eating.
I have done many 36 hour water fasts, the average time for a round trip 1000 mile drive. I often will eat a very specific 300 calorie keto meal I designed at the 24 hour mark (OMAD). I have done a half dozen 48 hour water fasts and two 72 hour water fasts in these last two months. All of this is what drives a pretty serious and steady weight loss.
OMAD and keto really rocks for finally losing weight. And with a keto diet, the fasting is easy (er).
Thank you John Colby for sharing your story. That is so awesome. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Seems like a great idea to fast on the road, so you don't have to eat a bunch of diner food. Try measuring a fasting insulin and calculate your HOMA-IR. That would tell you more about how the IR is changing. Keep it up!
@@drekberg I follow Dr Boz. She uses a ratio of glucose to ketones with the concept that anything under 80 is "fat burning" and under 40 is probably in autophagy. It seems a reasonable concept. It is essentially a proxy for insulin. Low insulin allows high ketones.
And yes, avoiding truck stop food can only be a positive. But equally critical is the lack of "social eating" making fasting much easier.
The glucose to ketones sounds interesting. I think its a useful tool, but I've seen people with 100 glucose and 2.5 ketones and fasting insulin of 20 who are not losing a single pound. I'll have to study that some more though.
@@drekberg well as we know in the end calories do matter. That is really the point of the fasting side. If sugar is high and ketones low I will not lose weight because insulin will be high trying to drive the sugar down. IF sugar is low and ketones high then that is a good sign that insulin is low which is required to lose weight. However if I am eating a bunch of fat, at a calorie surplus then I may very well still gain weight. If I get into ketosis and I am fasting then I am almost certainly losing weight. Even that is not certain. If I am highly stressed with high cortisol then it might be possible (short term) to not lose weight. That said it is really hard for the body to not lose weight when fasting. The BMR cannot drop to zero this side of death. No calories in with calories out means weight loss. 😁
The ratio is nothing more than a pair of the more important bio markers, which happen to be opposites of each other. They do tell us a lot about where energy is coming from.
More importantly they are markers that I can check without labs.
Carnivore makes it easier
LISTEN to this guy !
I did !
I went from a size 48 jeans to a size 32 in less than 3 months !
I eat excellent food, and it costs much less because I don't eat as much.
I am NEVER hungry, and I feel better.
I tried every diet on the market, and it didn't work !
THIS DID !
I am never going back !
If you are tired of people giving you looks at the street every time you go out, follow Dr. Stens advice.
Just understand there are side effects.
IT will cost you a lot of money to buy new clothes ! 😂
DML.
I have been using OMAD for two weeks, and I lose more than 7 pounds.
Thank you Mandy Lum for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up!
Game changer for me. Understanding insulin resistance. Huge. My weight is dropping consistently on OMAD and i was able to stop eating 6, 7, 8 times a day. I added a little exercise every day and it works! THANK YOU, 👍
I love OMAD...1) Eat once and done 2) only real fasting protocol in my opinion as you actually fast for awhile not eating 23 plus hours a day 3) cheap way to eat also...16/8 allows very little actual fasting time...I started with that...then The Warrior (20/4) and then OMAD...I think the misconception alot of people have on IF is your fasting window starts the second you set the fork down and swallow your last bite. It doesn't...The post-absorptive state lasts until 8 to 12 hours after your last meal, which is when you enter the fasted state. It typically takes 12 hours after your last meal to fully enter the fasted state. When you're in the fasted state your body can burn fat that has been inaccessible during the fed state. So if you do a 16/8 and you may only actually be in a fasted state 4 hours but on OMAD it is at least 12 hours and as much as 16...
Very good points. That's why everyone should do what you've done. Start 16:8 and then go to 20:4 or OMAD if necessary or if you like to see what happens with longer fasting.
Great points. That is exactly what I did. However I struggle to consume 2300 healthy calories in one sitting.
@E.S. Slc. You could eat less unless you are trying to keep weight on. If you need the calories you can change up the pattern and eat two meals some days with more calories and mix in some OMAD with less calories.
@@drekberg I'm trying to lose fat but I am afraid of "slowing down my metabolism"? If that's a thing.
And sometimes I eat more than I should just for that reason :)
We have been thought a wrong way of doing it for so long.
Thank you your response and keep up the good work! It helps a lot.
@@EEEBA1 That's why I broadened that to a 2h eating window. That works pretty well for me.
I've been doing some form of intermittent fastingh since August 2019. I started with a 48-hour fast, and then when I went back to feeding, I started doing 1-hour OMAD. Frankly, this was by default because after one modest plate of food, I was stuffed! (My previous normal was TWO full helpings). Also, my palate began to change and as I moved into ketosis, my breath changed (one of the temporary signs of ketosis). Now I have settled in to 16:8 eating because it's less restrictive. I gave up artifical sweeteners and all I drink is water, water + ACV, or black coffee. I started this to reverse my metabolic syndrome (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure). Over the years, due to work stress and insomia, I had packed on 250 lbs onto my 5'6" frame (prior to that I had a muscular 170 lb frame). I went to the doctor a month ago and ALL of my tests were in the normal range (blood pressure, cholesterol numbers, blood sugar). Another measure that was reduced, but still in an abnormal range, was my HA1c because it's an average measure that takes months to normalize. I should point out that I could only be successful at this after leaving my pressure-cooker of a job this past spring. OMAD and intermittent fasting saved my life. Thank you Dr. Ekberg; your videos helped to shepherd me through the process, and I still rely on your expertise.
Excellent presentation!
OMAD keto is a marvelous tool and the Gold standard in so many ways. Your body will LOVE you for it. The only negatives are; 1) the long physical adjustment period getting into a keto state without 'wobbles' and being comfortable, 2) the social pressure to EAT; family gatherings, lunch invites etc. Initially, I had to become a recluse just to stay on track. LOL It really is incredible how much emphasis is placed on 'consuming'. And 3) going away on holiday requires planning. I load up a cooler with 'good' oils, macadamia nuts, soft cheeses, avocados and sugar free 100% cocoa bars to ensure most of my calorie consumption is fat. The bright side; if flying for travel, you get to skip all those nasty airport/airline meals (and not miss them). Just be strong, the rewards will blow you away.
Nicely put Phil, The distractions and social pressure is epic when trying to keep to the game plan. I do Keto for diabetic management of which my Doc is fully supportive - but it is despairingly easy to fail to execute in the face of all the distractions. Overall, the benefits have emerged but I could do a lot better.
Very nice explanation. OMAD changed my life. I have done three 5day water fasts and I am on omad diet, all in last 80 days. I feel so much better and healthier. And Ive also lost 24 kgs so far (started on 115 kgs..).
This is one of the very, very best videos I've come across on this subject. The explanation of how this works and why is very lucid - if you're only going to watch one video about why those suffering from obesity are fat and how to do something about it, watch this one.
My Story: In July of 2018 my weight was around 27½ stone (385 lbs / 175 kg). I'd been fat for around 20 years. I'd not long turned 55 years old and just by chance I went for a ride on a push bike and found that my knees / ankles didn't hurt - but boy, was I out of condition / puff. I managed half a mile before I had to stop (sweating profusely). Over the next month to 6 weeks or so, I went out and rode around 2 miles (~3km) initially once every 4 days, then once every 3 days. I managed to make my trips ~3 miles (~4.5km). I had lost about half a stone (~7 lbs / 3kg). On August 19 2018, I decided to go out for a ride on a bike EVERY NIGHT (evening). Other than a few nights lost to the weather for more than 8 months, I was out every night. 3 miles a night became 5 miles a night and on the run into Xmas of 2018, my weight had come down to ~24 stone (336 lbs / ~150 Kg) - but even though I had been cycling further and faster and successfully climbing local hills on the bike the weight loss had stalled. WHY?
Well, I'd been spoken to like a 5 year old by the staff at local diabetes clinic for years about not eating cakes and biscuits and instead eating "healthy stuff" like cereals and fruit and drinking milk and low fat (which I had actually been practicing, I'll add) and taking exercise... Now here I was putting an hour a night into going out EVERY NIGHT too - and little more coming off. So I went on google. I came across an ordinary American bloke's video called "Butter makes your pants fall off." Enlightening!
My 2019 New Year resolution was to put the low carb diet into operation. I bought a diary for the year and began writing down my weight on waking (having been to the loo) & blood pressure. Then How many miles I might ride in the evening and finally my blood sugars during the evening. My weight on 31 December 2018 was 23 stone 8 (=330 lbs ~119.6Kg). I lost over 3 stone (~45 lbs / 20 Kg) in 6 weeks and by 16 July my weight had dropped to this year's low of 16 stone 4 lbs (224 lbs / ~101kg). Currently my weight this morning (at 1 September 2019) was 16/13 (9 lbs / ~4kg heavier) - but I have been enjoying the summer and eating ice cream and not quite going out for a ride every day through doing other things!!!
The long and short of why I've added my story is to underline that THIS WORKS! Sten puts into words what I have found out for myself with a little seeding over Christmas and then lots of empirical experience. No one likes being fat and overweight - but now *I know why* and what would be remiss would be not to do anything about it. And as for OMAD / feeling hungry, this man's comments about this are absolutely true too. Although my body periodically suggests I might want to eat, I really don't get hunger pangs like I used to (where it feels like your belly is about to cut your throat). Eating OMAD is something you just get used to.
I had previously watched a motivational video on You Tube featuring the late John Rohn in which he'd said "What if you should walk around the block for your good health - and you don't or WON'T?!" along with the punch line *"Come on man - you gotta be smarter than that"* - well thanks to John Rohn and other contributors like Sten on You Tube, I have the way out of the obesity mire.
So - if you're fat, do it for yourself. There is a way out, it isn't easy but if you want it enough give it a try and persevere. You are smarter than a couch potato - now you know, now you know!
Great post, mate! Very encouraging. Keep up the good work, and may you inspire those around you to also take better care of their health.
As a practicing DC for 35 years, I am so grateful for your organized and easily understood videos. They are the basis of my explaining messy concepts to my patients. Thank you so much!
I've been doing omad on and off for over 52 years. I also had high activity jobs,mostly constantly walking for 8 hours never sitting, but have since retired .In the last 2 years with daily walking and exercise I've been able to go from 1000 MG of metformin a day to 0. Omad /fasting works!
What meal? A salad? A hamburger? How many calories in this meal?
You have become my favorite channel on UA-cam. You advice makes so much sense and you explain it so well. Thank you
Thank you westfield90. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I have been following your advice as well as a couple of others to get healthy by lowering insulin resistance. It started with fear. I have a fatty liver and suffered with hepatitis (cured) and was obese for many years. My doctor read me the riot act but could not lose weight. I started low carb, moderate protein, fat. After one year now I have just started OMAD because after losing 59 pounds I have reached a plateau. I am and have been exorcising how you recommend. I feel great. I am not hungry at all. I am now only overweight and no longer obese. This not a diet. This is a life change. I grew up on homemade pasta. I no longer have any cravings while those around me eat sweets and carbs galore at the dinner table. My blood pressure has come down as a bonus. I still have a way to go but it is a piece of cake. Pun intended. Thanks.
Ur way of explanation is truly amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you pankaj kumar. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Dr Sten I am new to your channel and I did my first OMAD today and feel fantastic! Thank you for educating me more!
This is to share my weight loss journey to all mediums that inspired me and hopefully can inspire someone else as well.
I lost 13 pounds in last 11 months , it sounds slow but I am so glad that I have achieved this through intermittent fasting, 24-48hrs water fasting, LCHF diet and mild exercise. it’s been an amazing journey from 6 meals (3 big and 3 snacks low fat diet) to OMAD (one meal a day). The biggest surprise was that I am losing fat from all parts like arms, belly and hips, but not from my face and bust line which was completely opposite what I experienced 10 years back when I was in UK with LCLF (low carbs low fat) diet and rigorous exercise almost 5-6 hours a week. I enjoyed this transformation as well as but once I was back in India , I couldn’t continue gym and gained back what I lost. Though my lifestyle changed from sugar laden meals to no sugar at all and occasional rice meals as we Indians love eating rice. I was always overweight but i started my weight loss journey in my 30s and now in 40s I was determined to find a sustainable way of losing and maintaining weight. I am glad that my brother introduced me to bulletproof coffee and Keto diet talks on UA-cam. So big thanks to my bro and UA-cam giving us an opportunities to understand the vast and new information on Keto and sustainable weight management options.
My Tricks that worked on me are -
0. I plan and cook my food from whole food with saturated fats like mustard oil, coconut oil, clarified butter , butter etc.
0. I make sure that I move around a bit but depends on the day schedule
0. If I have socialising events coming up - I fast the previous day and the following day to hit a balance and I just love it.
The greatest explaination of how food and the body works ever.
I did a fast once, hardest hour of my life!
Dr Sten, it's a blessing
To have become your
Acquaintance. Have
No words to thank you
Enough.
Dr. Sten, This is the best explanation I´ve reard about this subject since 3 years ago, when I started keto. I am on OMAD finally since 1 month and feeling that this now is going steady. I am very grateful for the work you´ve given to us and I see it as a precious gift. Thank you very much.
I have learn so much from your videos. Since watching your videos I have done Keto and some fasting I have went from 310 to 265. Have long way to go but I don’t have craving and feeling great.
I’m grateful for the understanding. For years I felt there was something wrong with me. This information broken down and explained has opened my mind. I finally feel hope. This has helped tremendously.
Thankyou Dr for your clear explanation and valuable information
I followed OMAD and no sugar at all... for 2 months and now 76 from 86. Great transformation and feeling like am flying in air.
Still going on, for a target to be 66 in another 1 r 2 month.
Keep rocking Dr. 🙏🙏🙏
When people ask me how I have lost weight I will send them the link to this video. Excellent!
I watched all your videos they’re very well explained I liked listening do your advise thank you
Thank you Mazal Benamor. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
I’ve tried every diet under the sun…but OMAD and keto have changed my life! I would never have thought that I could go 24 hours (or more!) without eating…but I’m losing weight, and feel amazing! Keto recipes are changing for the better, and with the OMAD lifestyle, it’s so much easier. My goal is to get to 48 hours, but with baby steps…thank you for your amazing videos…they make total sense. I’ll never go back to that old outdated way of eating ever again!! 😊
In my humble opinion, this is one of the most influential videos on the topic, I have ever seen, greatly appreciated!
This is so true and totally explains why people, especially women, slowly keep gaining weight when they're in their 30s, 40s or even late 20s...Even if they eat "normally". I had the flattest stomach on the earth until 38 that's because I never ate refined sugar. Since I went back on sugar again I got fatter and fatter even though I didn't eat excessive amounts of calories (most of the time) and walked an hour a day. Now I understand why. Hurried back to keto.
yes, I must see my body as intelligent, I've been on quasi-warrior fluctuating between 16-20 hours of IF for 1.5 months now, preparing my eating schedule to work with my work schedule in order to be on OMAD, I succeeded twice and I did feel amazing afterwards, I am getting there!
Went on Keto/Intermittent fasting 16/8 on Jan 19 this year, started 275 ugly lbs, now after 30 days I am 25 lbs down and on day 2 of OMAD. I am not hungry, I feel great at 70 yrs old and I do not crave sugar like I used to, My goal is to lose over a hundred lbs and OMAD will get me there, thank you Dr Sten!
How did you get on with your goal?
Listen to him. My husbaand and I lost our extra weight and have kept it off for over three years. We eat three huge meals a day. The trick is to eat what a human being can digest. We do cheat one to three times each week, usually out of politeness.. But, we don't feel the need to cheat. We don't exercise. We have the energy to work hard. I am 73 years old. He is 80 years old.
Dr. Ekberg, your channel has transformed my diet beliefs. The keto challenge is working for me better than you could imagine. I was raised to eat keto but my brain had forgotten it.
Thank you, with your help I now eat 2 meals a day, 1 meal at 3pm and 1 meal at 6pm, and once or twice a week I do OMAD. I know it is the exercise (or lack of) that’s my biggest problem, but I had my first Spinraza injection today, I see the light ahead 😊
That's exciting. We'll hope for the best
Always the clearest, concise, most articulate and informative advice on UA-cam! No doubt about it. Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare and share all of this knowledge with us. Very much appreciated!

I don't usually watch or listen to lengthy videos that are not of the field of which I research, but I've been watching and listening to your videos, from one to the next for four straight hours. Yes, I've watched a "couple" of other videos on how to lose weights but none seemed to make any connection to my search, however, this is it. I don't regret the hours I spent today (24/09/2019) following through several of your videos, in fact I have you now as my "Health Educator," I will be among others who are and will be greatly benefit from your priceless efforts to put together all the details in to every presentation that you kindly share without demanding any costs to know the rest. You are one of the few amazing and caring human that exists in this money hungry world.
Blessings to you and your family. Thank you again...Don't disappear on me brother ;)
Im doing Warrior OMAD where my eating window is no earlier than 4pm and finishes 8pm. I can be flexible with when i eat my one meal. I stick to a lot of green veg, eggs, avocados and some fish or vegetarian proteins. Have lost 22 lbs in the space of a month and consistently lose more weight. I avoid processed carbs like bread pasta and avoid potatos and starchy vegtables. Its the first time in my life i have ever actually lost weight 😊
I have been eating one meal a day for a few weeks now following a 96 hour fast. I haven't lost much weight, maybe a kilo or two. I'm 45yrs old. 240lb. 5ft 10inches. Low amount of exercise due to work commitments. No health problems, none smoker. Tryimg to decide if i should do another 96 hr fast. I eat a full balanced diet. One meal/ day. Thinking about another 48 hour fast and maybe eating every Two days and increasing exercise. Such a mission to lose weight. Hardest thing I have ever done.
Thank you doc for this explanation. Finally I understand how my body works. Maybe I’m thick, but I’m four months going without sugar and almost none carbs, listening to you and other docs on ut, but after this - I understand, I know. Thanks again ❤️
Thank you Liz B. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks so much for your videos... they are such an encouragement to me! Over the years, I felt a lot of stress from my work and, eating according to the Canadian Food Guide, I gained a lot of weight, because of too much carbs. I am certain that I have developed a lot of insulin resistance. I was following the standard advice of my doctor, where I was trying to work out 1 hour a day and eat less, but to my frustration, I was still gaining weight! I finally learned about insulin resistance and the pounds are dropping off without doing any exercise, just by using intermittent fasting. Late last year, I had lost almost 30 pounds just following a keto diet, but I got off the rails at my daughter's wedding, and went back to my old habits. I gained the weight back. I realized that I have to change my lifestyle, not just go on a diet. With the OMAD, I have started back on track and have started losing weight again. I will also be incorporating weight training and some low intensity cardio as well. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I am determined to make the necessary changes to my lifestyle to reach a healthy weight and keep the weight off.
Dr. Stern you're suxh a great teacher. Got full understanding of the concept of insulin resistance. Thanks
Thank you Derrick Akonumbo. Also check out 6 secrets to reverse insulin resistance
The best explanation of our current dietary eating issues I've heard. It's truly a current day social issue , of following very flawed dietary traditions.
Thank you @stevewhalen6973 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
@drekberg Your Welcome Sir . I'm fortunate to have discovered you and much healthier because of that .
Thank you dearly. 👍
You are great at explaining our bodies’ functions and how to achieve good health!! Thank you so much!
Lost 6 lbs one week omad three days and walked 7 miles
I’ve forwarded this video so many times to family and friends. Fantastic explanation of how insulin and nutrition work. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Good afternoon. I watch your program on UA-cam regularly. I must first thank you for your valuable advices. I am a diabetic. I am now following intermittent fasting but not strictly as recommended. I take two meals a day. My first one is lunch at noon and second one is dinner at 9.00 pm. I do 10 units of rapid insulin at noon and 10 units of rapid insulin and 30 units of long lasting insulin every night after dinner. I do not eat carbohydrate like rice, bread or any form of flour since January this year. My lunch and dinner consist mainly of a bowl of salad ( cucumber, laitues, cabbage and carrots). And a piece of chicken, or canned tuna salad, or fish or lamb. Sometimes I take some vegetables along. I take 3 cups of red wine everyday. I do not take whisky or any other drink apart from red wine. My blood sugar fasting is in between 5 and 6.5 most of the time. My HBA1C is in between 6.5 and 7 most of the time. I have a check for HBA1C every six month. Please let me know if Iam on a good path and what I should do to improve. I have tried to stop the wine but Iam not able to.
Regards
Pavaday
Today OMAD First time.....IT IS great...i'm so satisfied....thank you very much
Super clear and complete. I want everyone in the world to watch this .
Thank you Andrea Roach. "Everyone in the world". I have no objection.😄
Been on Omad for 5 weeks first few days were hard but I feel I can now sustain it and I feel so much better.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I finally feel seen. I constantly want to eat, but eat very healthfully & never knew why I was always wanting to eat! Your info on fasting has changed my life! Fasting keeps me from constantly eating & it’s working to make a dent in my weight! I cannot thank you enough!
Thank you Rita Bruno. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help me help more people by sharing the videos. 😄
Carnivore helps to feast and then fast
Tried the OMAD diet about two months ago and I haven’t went back. It is a game changer.
Always like the way you explain things in terms we can understand. Thanks, Dr. Ekberg 👍
Thank you fernando gonzales. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you muchly for this important information. I'm 20/4 Keto, but sometimes I am OMAD, it depends what I've eaten the night before for Dinner, certain foods fill me up so much, that I don't even think about food till hubby says, "What's for Dinner,?" The next night. It happens a couple off times a week. My Hubbies been OMAD for 6 months, & he's lost 45 pounds. We're both convinced that giving up sugar was the best start to changing our lifestyle for the better. Have a Happy Weekend, & take care. ❤🙂🐶
Thank you Maxi Bake for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up!
@@drekberg Certainly will keep it up. Thank you. Take care. 👍🤗❤🙂🐶
@Paul nmn Exactly. Take care. 👍🤗❤🙂🐶
Now, I forget to eat. I mean someone like me who live to eat, now eat to live. Keto, intermittent fasting and fasting.
i have been on One time meal a day for over 4 years. I feel great. I hardly ever get sick. I don't call it fasting. This is my regular meal plan. once in a while i eat two times meal if i am with friends.
how easy he can explain such a complex matter
Thank you Alex Manners.
I wish I had discovered Dr. Ekberg earlier, better late than never though. Started Int. fasting about a year ago and it's been great. Currently trying the OMAD with Keto and exercise to hopefully help get myself closer to my goal weight. I have about 30lbs to drop. I feel my body adjusting nicely to this new lifestyle and love watching these videos to keep me on track, focused, and consuming the right foods.
I really love your ability to educate clearly and thoroughly. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, I'm 62 having a weigh issue whole my life, even as a baby I was chubby (my mom was a great baker ;) ). I tried so many diets, even recently on Keto for almost a year I didn't loose much weigh. Now after watching your excellent video I understand why!!!! Thank you so much
Thank you HonzaEva for sharing your story. Keep it up! You have to heal first. My next video is something you might be interest in on Friday. Let me know how it goes and you might need to look into intermittent fasting.
Carnivore is better than keto for weight loss
What a wealth of knowledge you are. Thank you
After 23 months on LCHF, I really notice the hunger cravings that are induced when I "slip" & consume sugars/starches.
Same with me. When I stay truly low carb, very little hunger. Add carbs, hunger increases.
Carbs = insulin = storage = less fuel available = cravings.
You have put together a great introduction to OMAD. Congrats. Very comprehensive in less than 30 minutes. Great! Keeping it 30 minutes or shorter is a must for me.
Thank you Carlos Roman. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
An outstanding presentation which should be available in every medical school and GP surgery in the country.
Your videos blow my mind. So perfectly explained! Thank you!
Well explained Sir! Subscribed, very interesting
I've been doin keto for a year and omad for about 2 months and holy holy I've never felt better.
Dr Sten,
I found you just a few weeks ago, and I find your explanations so easy to follow and understand. Thanks for that. By the way, the old erroneous concepts about eating 3-4 meals a day, and not skipping breakfast is SO ingrained in most people's minds that is really hard to "show" them this should be the right way to eat. Even people in the medicine field seem to find it hard to believe. Thanks for such a great work!
Worked! Thanks! Husband Omad +keto (after heart attach and insuline resistence) lost almost 60pounds in 2 month ..hard to lose the 20pounds more to go ..walking with heart rate under 120 to see if helps
Thank you Elena Truman for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Dr Sten!! You have helped me recover and get on to a new life. My weight dropped 60 pounds so far, fat percentage from 36 to 26, and my triglycerides from 240 to 120 in just 2 months!!! Following your advise, Keto and OMAD are the reason for this change!!! Also, I forgot my blood sugar went from 250 to 70!!!!!
Basically, everything we were taught about fat and dieting wrong. Thank you for making this video.
Well explained. I have Insulin Resistance, Pre -Diabetes, Fatty Liver and Hypothyroidism. I have given up most grains , I am working on rice , potatoes and chocolate.
Thank you for attempting to educate us in simple plain language that is realistic.
Man is the only species which has a fridge.
Thank you Declan McArdle. 😀
Thank you Homer Simpson
Very wise observation
Not true, my monkey has two. My dog has a freezer. Donkeys have had refrigeration since they were invented in Mexico in the 1040's.
Another benefit of not eating all the time is your teeth won't be under constant acid attack of carbs and sugar. Quite recently my dentist gave me praise when she asked how I eat and I answered not all the time (no snacks, chocolate bars etc.). IMO no one should drink sugary acid drinks (coke etc.) daily, once a week can be ok.
Very good stuff here, I may try to follow Dr. Ekbergs advice because I've gained some weight during last year..
You are my new doctor and I thing you explained much better then all the other Dr I watch all thought more matharical never the less enjoyable thank you
Thank you Mike Gutrugianios. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
OMAD is giving me my life back
I can't thank you enough, Doc you're a life saver ❤️
Who are the 89 people who disapproved of this life-saving knowledge? My guess is: 1. People from the food industry profiting from the first two reasons mentioned. 2. People from the pharmaceutical companies profiting from the sick people that company #1 is producing. Or, 3. People so mentally and physically damaged from the two companies mentioned that can’t even see the difference. Even if you don’t care about OMAD, the information is worth a thumb up!
Since 12th February 2023,I stopped eating
1. Table Sugar
2. Rice ( All types)
3. Bakery Products ( Refined Carbohydrates)
4. Flavored Drinks ( Nescafé, Nestea etc )
5. Soda drinks ( Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta etc..)
& adapted to a 12 hour Fasting at Night.
Recorded Fasting Blood Glucose Every Morning and graphed with excel & monitored the fluctuations & managed to maintain it two months average of 96.5 mg/dl. Increased intake of Protein (Chicken, Fish, Eggs,Salmon), Olive oil & Green Leafy Veggies (Mainly Cauliflower, Beans, Okra, Brokali & Parsley). During the day I had some milk with added coffee and dark chocolates ( 50% of Cocoa made in Sri Lanka) & occasionally some curd with one or two teaspoons of Honey.
My HBA1c dropped from 9.3 to 5.7 by 12th April 2023 (Within exactly 60 days). Weight loss exactly 8kg. My BMI is exactly 22. I am so happy to bring down My HBA1c to None Diabetic level without any doctor fees, Prescription Drug Fees, Unnecessary Lab Report Fees & without time wasting.
I am planning to drop it to 5 by 12 th May 2023.
Meantime, I got my Lipid Profile, eGFR (Kidney Function Test), Complete Liver Profile, Full Blood Count & Specially the C - Peptide Report that measured the functionality of pancreas & all reports are almost perfect.
My special Thanks going to Prof. Robet Lustig, Dr.Jason Fung, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr.KenDBerryMD, Nature’s path to wellness and My wife for preparing the delicious meals without Carbs.
Reason with facts equals a well done vid. I am 75 and doing what I call a modified keto OMAD diet for a short time then moving on to IF with and increase in carbs. Thanks.
Thank you Chuck Kolb.
I used to consume red bull couple times a day. 3 meals a day . Snacks in between . Pretty much religious with that eating unhealthy style ....
I cut pasta , potatoes,bread and red bulls... I dont miss any of them once I started on low-carb . Then needed another challenge. Went and found keto.
Then went from 2 meals a day... to OMAD Within 2 weeks . I feel more energetic ... and feel I can go more than 23 hrs IF . OMAD is treating me well. I'll do this for 4 months which will be October 2019. Look forward to check my weight and health . Its gonna be good . :)
It works! :) after years of trying everything.
Oh.. by the way, fasting is given in the Bible and other answers.
Very well organized and concise. Sharing with my friend’s and family! Thank you!
Thank you Leslie A Harden. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Thank you Doctor for such a wonderful video and a wonderful explanation!
I feel really clever after watching this. I understand better how our body work. Thanks Doc!
Thank you Adi Picograf. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Dr. Sten Ekberg It’s people like you that makes the world a better place. I’ll be sure to share this video when people ask about OMAD. this video can explain it better than me.
Doc, is there any future plan to make an explanation video about The Zero Carb/full carnivore phenomenon?
Not really, but I'll keep it in mind.😀
Dr Ekberg. Your videos are really brilliant . I always open UA-cam and always watch a couple of hours of your videos. Extremely brilliant and easy to understand. God bless you for sharing this information.
I really enjoy your videos . Been on keto and OMAD . Have not tracked my loss (but I can see it on my clothes ) . I find OMAD very good . Used to be able to do this years ago. I find it great to continue with the OMAD. When I loose all the excess weight I'd be very happy . It's a mind set. Soldier on everyone
Just a quick report back.. I was probably 110kg.. started Keto and omad . Then added IF and now fasting for 72hrs on and off . It's now August . I'm down to 95kg . And still going strong
Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg, this video series changed my life a lot. OMAD since 6 months now (not on Weekend), lose 18 Kilos from 115 to 97 kg, low sugar/KH, excersise every day I hope that give me some more years of healthy life (i am 65). I think that's priceless....
Getting bitten by a rattlesnake was the key that turned my life around. I fought the battle of T2 diabetes for 40 years. I followed faithfully the directives of the American
diabetes Association and countless dieticians and endocrinologists. I was fatter' sicker' and poorer than before I started that journey. Then I was bitten by a rattlesnake and was flown to the hospital in Amarillo, Texas. There I met with the endocrinologist on staff. He told me to watch Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Jason Fung and do what they said. It has been the miracle I have been looking for for decades. Who knew that a snake would be the catalyst!
Love your clear description of what insulin is and how it works in the body and the differences between Type one and Type two diabetes. Thank you for your intelligent talks. So appreciated.
Thank you so much for your videos, I've learned a lot from them. And while I don't usually like to share instructive things (nobody likes a preacher on Facebook 😁) I have shared this video because there are still too many people out there who don't understand the basic mechanisms of weight loss and weight gain and it's just tragic!
Thank you Christine Roulin. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
