    My grandmother used to take the fat that we cut off from our steaks & pork chops, go to the stove and fry it up some more so it'd be crispy. She also ate 2 eggs in the morning sometimes with bacon, sometimes on toast. Then she'd eat 1 or 2 hard boiled egg for snack and eat steak, chicken fish or porkchops for dinner. She only lived up to 99 years old and died in her sleep. She never had any health issues, not even arthritis.

    I'm a 43 years old dentist from Sweden. I feel the same way as other people already have expressed - there's so much gross disinformation, not least from the authorities that we should be able to trust. In Sweden we had our food pyramid being taught when I grew up with a rec 8 slices of bread daily for instance. Margarine was marketed as the healty alternative to evil butter and so on. It's really pretty horrible how generations have been taught a lie and now obesity and diabetes/CVD and also cancer is such a big problem. Well duh - you told us to eat ourselves to those diseases for decades.
    Anyway a great big thank you! to Dr Ekberg for sharing and teaching freely on UA-cam how it really is.

    My cholesterol is 320. I’m 54, lost 40 lbs and weigh 107 at 5’1”. My ratios are all perfect. My HDLs are extremely high. I even got off blood pressure meds. I walk daily and lift weights 3X a week. I didn’t believe my doctor that I was ok so last summer I paid $89 to get an ultrasound of my arteries in my chest to check for calcium. I was very worried. My score was 0. I fast daily and eat 1-2 meals a day. I don’t eat sugar (only 1 small serving of berries daily). I eat eggs, fish, veggies, avocado, under nut butters, but no processed food and only olive oil and one or two small servings of a keto-friendly carb.
    I feel like a teenager and have so much energy I enjoy walking 90 minutes a day. I don’t know what to do with my energy!! Thank you so much for all you are doing to help people.

    I am 71 years old doctor of education from Finland. I feel ashamed for two reasons after seeing Dr. Sten Ekberg's video. Firstly, the mentioned international research was conducted against the principles of scientific studies. Secondly, I have believed the results of that research for years, which meant I had taught my students the "truth" of how dangerous eggs can be for your health!
    I have followed Dr. Ekberg’s videos for a while and have now, for several weeks, enjoyed from three to four eggs every day (fried with butter and coconut oil) and feel very good.

    Having been a dietitian for over 35 yrs. I want to thank Dr. Ekberg for teaching physiology and nutrition facts. I feel badly that for many years I was teaching patients certain information that I now know was incorrect! It was the information I learned straight from the textbook which I now know was heavily influenced by big Pharma and big Agri and food manufacturers. 😕
    Over time I became so disgusted that I left the profession and went back to school to become a psychotherapist! But, fortunately, now that I have had time to understand where all the misinformation was coming from I feel more prepared than ever to guide people in terms of their diet and lifestyle.
    Physiology is a science with extremely important information and needs to be understood in order to understand health as it relates to diet.

    After suffering from health problems for years i started seeing a holistic doctor. I started eating foods cooked with lard, ghee and olive oil. I cut out bread, pasta, and rice entirely. There were also some vegetables which i had intolerances. I was very fearful of fatty foods and eggs. But it worked. I eat pasture raised eggs and meat, I lost 60 pounds the first year and have kept it off in the 3 years since. I am at a healthy weight, but would like to lose a bit more for vanity purposes. Overall, i feel better than i did when i was in my teens and 20s. No more stomach issues, bloating, weight gain. I think what amazes me is when others ask me, and i tell them, and they recoil at the thought of eating real fats. Their dietitians tell them to eat bread, that it's part of a "healthy" diet. I shake my head. Our IS bread isn't even real bread, it's not healthy at all. It's scary eating real fats at first and it's extremely hard cutting out refined sugar and bread, but it will change your life

    Nothing drastic, but slowly changed my diet and kept walking watching his videos on cholesterol and diet.
    Two years later my cholesterol dropped from 199 to 165. I can now walk almost 3.6 miles every other day depending on heat in the summer here in Alabama and don't even breath hard! I've dropped close to 30 pounds and it has touched every aspect of my life.
    Last week when I got my hair cut I asked for my senior discount. The girl checking me out said she was sorry for forgetting as I didn't look like a senior.

    Hello Dr Eckberg , I m from Yugoslavia, i remember, everyone i knew eat eggs , never heard on TV or anywhere that eggs were bad for you, there was also saying "svako jutro jedno jaje organizmu snagu daje" in translation: "every morning one egg gives your body strength" :) lol
    My Grandma had her chickens , a every morning she would fetch 2 eggs, whisked them in the cup and i would drink it :)
    Again, thank you so much for what you're doing, i learned so much from you and you're the reason i lost over 50 lbs and live very healthy life.
    Greetings

I apologize for my pathetic attempt at writing in slovenian. We spoke slovenian at home until mom and dad passed. Dad just last year at 97 years old and mom at 82 twelve years ago. I had a triple bypass in 2012 and was prescribed 4 different drugs. I weighed 108 kg or about 238 pounds back then. I've been watching Dr. Eckberg for quite some time and have incorporated many of his dietary suggestions into my routine. I now weigh 167 pounds, walk an average of 12k steps per day, and often much more. Eat grass fed, organic foods, and drink a LOT of water. Basically, if it has a bar code, I don't eat it, or closely scrutinize the ingredients. Very, VERY rarely do I eat out as it's difficult to find 'clean' food restaurants. I no longer take ANY prescription (or any recreational) drugs. I also do 14 day nothing-but-water fasts twice a year - and feel fantastic. My PCP as well as cardiologist are bereft of apropos retort when evaluating my blood work. They just shake their heads and tell me to "Just keep on doing what you're doing"

Thankfully my D.O. advised trying Keto, and I also found your videos/advice. Three years later, weight loss of 100 pounds, blood pressure normal without meds, cholesterol ratio and LDL all healthy. I eat average of two eggs per day, along with what I consider to be a diet of "real food." Requires discipline, but oh man, I have never felt better. Tusen tak!

    Thank you for making this video. In my mid 40’s (10 years ago) my doctor prescribed blood pressure medicine and statins. After a year or so I really didn’t feel well (soar joints), stool problems. I was exercising 2 to 3 times a week. So I thought I was doing ok.
    I decided to stop taking the medication and increased my exercise rate to 6 to 7 times / week (90 minutes of vigorous exercise every day). After one month, my pain was gone, stool issues gone, my blood pressure was down to target levels and the best part, I eat all the fatty foods I want. I fast every day t’il noon and cut a lot of sugar out of my diet.
    I’m in better shape today with more energy than when I was in my 20’s (less party’s).

      I had the similar experience to you.
      I had high blood pressure all my life. The HBP did not affect my life in functions as I knew. Twenty years ago, my doctor saw my blood pressure was high and prescribed medication.
      The side effects from the HBP medication was very bad. I was dizzy, lacking energy, feeling like half dead. The doctor changed the medication, but still had the same side effects. I just stopped taking the hbp medication and started exercising 5 days a week and 1.5 hours a time. I had a very healthy life with energy and good sleep. I also jogged 7 miles every morning.
      Then 6 years ago, my doctor (another one) suggested that I take the HBP medication. I told the doctor my previous experience with the HBP medication. Then he scared me by saying that if I didn't take the medication, my kidneys would be damaged and cause more problems. So, I took his advice and started to take Lisinopril. Later he added Hydrochlorothiazide on my medication.
      About 6 months later, when I was jogging, I started to feel uncomfortable and turned into pain in my knees. I kept jogging. I thought it was the daily jogging that wore off the cartilage. I also got pain in my big toe joints. I reduced my jogging distance, but the problem did not go away.
      Two years ago, when I was jogging, I sprained my left ankle. First, I did not take it very seriously. Then one week later, the pain spread to both of my knees. I was sent to a hospital and saw a foot doctor. He X-rayed me and could not find any abnormality; He gave me an orthopedic boot. He said that in just a couple days you will be fine.
      Two days later I had excruciating pain in my knees. I was taken to a hospital by an ambulance. I had gout, a type of arthritis, and ended up at the hospital for 11 days. The doctor realized that the HBP medication Hydrochlorothiazide caused the problem. I stayed with another patient in the same room. When I talked to him. He immediately pointed out the hbp medication was the culprit.
      Ling story short, I stopped taking high blood pressure medications. Now my both knees are back to normal, and I do jog and exercise.
      From my own experience, I believe that some health related problems may be caused by the medications.

    My doctors have been trying to get me to take statins for a number of years and I just keep telling them no. I'm not concerned about it and not interested in taking something so harmful to my body for dubious reasons. I tell my doctors "how do you know my cholesterol isn't just naturally higher than other people's anyway?" It was the same with PPIs, I had an ulcer at the top of my stomach years ago and they told me I had GERD and gave me PPIs which I took, they were useful to help the ulcer heal, but I read so many bad things about them that I stopped taking them. The day after I stopped I had a cup of instant coffee (which I used to drink 4 or 5 times a day) and instantly got acid and thought I wonder if it was the instant coffee all along. I stopped drinking it and my problems all stopped. It was the coffee causing it. But my doctor would have had me on those PPIs for the rest of my life probably and never even bother to ask me even one question about my diet. Same with statins, once you get put on them they would just keep you on them for life. It's a money-making scam for pharma and I'm not interested.

Walmart eggs are different in ways hard to describe a complete list of and a certain Tyson chicken breast product started having small chunks of gristle throughout, meaning it was processed in to me, and now it doesn't taste like chicken anymore. I also question the taste of whole milk now and have for a while. I know that the Walton boys of Walmart continually manipulate their manufacturers to do things to reduce costs so they make more profit, so I'm going to change grocery stores to see if the products are better from elsewhere.

    Thank you Dr. Stan, for another great presentation. I have watched many of your informative videos in the past month since I saw my doctor and received an elevated LDL report from my blood work. I am 63 and about 40 pounds overweight, mainly I expect, from the beer I drink and the junk I had been eating. Zero fast food in the past 6 weeks. Doctor wanted to put me on a statin drug which I declined. Since the news of my high LDL, I have discontinued my 2 pickled eggs every morning for the past 18 months, and switched to a small bowl of steel cut oatmeal every morning. I walk my dog twice a day but have gotten back on my treadmill to walk at a brisk pace for 30 minutes 3 mornings every week. I work up a good sweat then jump in the pool, then the shower and off to work. Got rid of the vegetable oils and Pam spray for my cooking hobby, and switched to Chosen Foods avocado oil and cooking spray, plus more EVOO. I cut out most sweets, and replaced with mixed nuts for snacking. Good to know I can bring my beloved pickled eggs back into my diet in moderation. I pickle the eggs with pickled jalapenos, turmeric, onion & garlic powders. I eat a lot of steamed broccoli with butter, salt and pepper, as well as cauliflower, and Romaine & celery salads with chicken for lunch. I love to eat, so portion control is a big challenge for me. I never use any margarine, always butter mixed with EVOO in cooking. Occasionally I will take a tablespoon of EVOO before bed, as I heard that is good for lowering LDL. Hoping these changes in my diet will slowly bring my LDL back in line. I take zero prescribed or over the counter meds. Does it sound to you that I am on a better path now? Thank you again for your great work!

    We have drugs - statins - which reduce LDL cholesterol. So if high LDL cholesterol was responsible to heart disease, then statins would have a dramatic effect. You would expect very few or any of those who take statins to get heart disease because you have removed the cause. Actually, statins have a very tiny effect in reducing heart disease in those who have no prior CVD, so there must be something else going on.

    I live in Korea and I just did the medical preventive visit that you can do every two years. The study from Korea you quoted uses the data from those visits I believe. My husband ended up showing a little bit more cholesterol than "allowed", so this video is reassuring. And for insuline resistance, it was so hard to get it checked. The first clinic where we did the visit straight up refused, saying that it was useless as they were testing fasting blood sugar levels. I insisted but they just refused. I insisted we go to another clinic for additional bloodwork, and there as well they told me that I didn't need it, citing the same reasons. I insisted, saying that my husband's grandfather died from diabetes, and that my own father has it as well, and only then they accepted to do it. It's crazy that I had to go to that extent to receive a service I was willing to pay for. I don't like the fact that I have to justify anything. If I want something and I can pay for it, what is it to you?
    So, we can keep on dreaming to have insuline resistance added to that study for now. They are still very reluctant to do those tests. They believe that blood sugar levels are enough.

    You don't always tell the full facts!! I started listening to you a year ago and i fit nicely into my 36 inch waist motorbike jeans. Today i had to send back my new 30 inch waist ones as they were too big. You never tell people their new clothes wont fit!!!😂😂

    When autophagy kicks in, it's like my body shrinks, and my skin feels like a young boys skin. I just feel so comfortable in my skin after that 18th hour. I'm addicted to this the same way I used to be addicted to earing. This is my lifestyle now. It's well, well rooted.
