🔷 Watch This Next: Keto Long Term? Is The Keto Diet Dangerous? ua-cam.com/video/y56dOMtSYAY/v-deo.html How To Do Keto Right ua-cam.com/video/bckjCW4_XnI/v-deo.html
Learning from Dr. Ekberg I startet going on a journy to experience my body better and better. My body gives such clear messages about what is good and what is bad which I had actually my whole life and now I learn more and more to understand those messages. I´m so greatful for all you do, Dr. Ekberg. And thank you, dear body of mine for talking so clear to me now and sorry for all I´ve unknowingly done to you my whole life.
I have a question about the butter, when you say butter do you mean we have to use like the real cream butter? Like land of lakes or the Irish butter? Because I know that stuff like imperial butter and blue bonnet butter is rather processed
Now, here's a doctor doing his part to spread knowledge and help people understand what they are putting into their bodies and the long term results. Totally, free of charge!!
Best thing about this channel is Doc don't post short click bait videos like others who just stretch it to 10 mins to maximize ads revenue instead he makes a full length video and leave no stone unturned to explain what he wants to say. I have replaced my refined Vegetable Oil with Cold pressed coconut oil long ago I think I did the right thing.
@@MReza-nq3pd Well, majority of people are idiots anyway. If you can't hold your concentration more than 10 minutes, that sounds like a problem, maybe consult your doctor about it. The video should be as long as it needs to be, when thoroughly going thorugh the facts and say what you gotta say to convey the most accurate and sufficient information to the listener. These videos could be 2 hours and I would still remain glued to the screen, these are just that interesting, valuable, and information packed videos. This speaks about the quality of Dr. Ekberg's content.
Or maybe the shorter videos are better for people who aren't interested in the detailed biochemistry behind the premise or those who don't have 30 minutes to listen to something that they may not understand or will remember. I enjoy and learn from both.
For the new watchers: Dr. Sten Ekberg's videos are a bit longer than some other similar channel's videos just because he is a great source who explains "Why?" and "How?" questions from the zero buttom, very clearly. Plus, you don't understand how the time goes with full of information.
You have changed my life!! I am losing the weight, looking younger and feeling healthier than I ever have at 48 years old!!! You are such a God Send! Thank You So Much!❤
@@freedomofspeech4461 Thanks!! 😘 I do A LOT of prolonged fasting and strict, Clean Keto. It really has improved my skin and everyone who knows me tells me I'm looking younger. 😊
You're so thorough in your explanations that I feel almost as if I'm in a lecture. I have paper and pen and am taking notes, and I feel like if I watch enough of your videos I will somehow be eligible for some kind of degree or certificate.
Healthy fats: extra virgin coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, red palm oil (make sure it's responsibly sourced), ghee, grass fed butter, grass fed and organic meats, nuts and seeds (moderately as they have slightly more carbs), whole eggs (don't skip the yolks, those are the best part). Feel free to add anything I missed. FlavCity with Bobby Parish is a great resource as well. 😊
Healthy fats: chicken fat, goos fat, pork lard, beef lard, goat fat.... my great-grandparents lived on those fats and lived to be 99 and 103 without ever visiting a doctor.
@@Gesundheit888 true, beef and duck tallow are AWESOME! I make toothpaste for my doggies withduck tallow too. They are super healthy and have the prettiest teefies at the dog park too! 😊🧡
A well-presented lesson on how Keto works from the master himself! What a great video to recommend to everyone who asks me what changes I have done to my lifestyle! (I’ve lost 55kg = 120lbs, and trust me, everyone asks!!) Most who are as obese as I was, at BMI 40, pay little attention to the contents of the food they eat and do not even have the skills or interest to decrypt food labels. At this stage macros means nothing, as you or the signals from your body cannot tell the difference between healthy and unhealthy “food”. All that matters is to eat something that fills your belly when you feel hungry and you want it to taste good and be cheap! (because you are always hungry and want to eat a lot!). Exercise is just stressful; you risk injury if you over do it and going hungry is just torture! Low Carb “Dirty Keto” is a great introduction to a what you will experience from a healthy, “low insulin” diet and make you realise that your battle is not with fat, overeating or lack of exercise but with insulin resistance! Results are next to immediate! You truly do not get it until you feel the changes in your own body, which from thereon will the key motivator! Once your hormones and taste buds start working again, what you want and need, will naturally become different! You will feel great and be full of energy! Moving forward to healthy fats, whole foods and intermittent fasting is then something that will come naturally and will take things to another level!
I finally got mad enough at myself for yoyoing that I started intermittent fasting & combined it with OMAD. Been going strong for two weeks now & have lost 15 lbs, my clothes fit better too.
Thank you for all your info. I was diagnosed with stage 2 diabetes at a A1C of 6.9. Four months ago I started keeping my carbs below 10 and started intermittent fasting and longer fasting like 3, 4,5 and 7 day fasting with OMAD. I’m down 80lbs and now my A1C is 4.7. I also started exercising the way you said to, thanks for your help.
@@scottheldibridle7325 What means carbs below 10 ? How did you lower your A1C from 6.9% to 4.7% ? How many months you need it to lover your A1C ? 4 months ? What you mean : 3 , 4 , 5 and 7 days fasting ? Without any food for 7 days ( just water ) ? Or One Meal a Day ( OMAD ) ? When you eat the OMAD ? By which hour have you eat OMAD ?
I urge everyone to have their friends watch this video twice for understanding! This is one of the best explanations I have seen about the purpose of eating a low carb high, fat diet and clearly distinguishes which fats are healthy, which are unhealthy, and why. Valuable knowledge to improve the health of everyone!!!
Warning!!!! There are GOOD fats and BAD fats! These Dr’s are not releasing the warnings of BAD fats! They are promoting bad fats as if they don’t CLOG YOUR ARTERIES, they do!! While a high fat diet may be helping you lose weight, it is NOT heart healthy! The Atkins diet author, Dr Atkins died of HEART disease!!
Don’t you wish you had teachers like this back in school. He definitely is a life changer if you can get The info stuck in your brain for your lifespan. Amazing
There is a saying: when you are ready to learn, you will find a teacher. I'm not saying the good doctor isn't very good; he is. But maybe many of your school teachers were also,, but you (we all) weren't ready for what they had to teach. Just a thought...
Hi Dr. E, I just saw my doctor today and he is thrilled with my progress since going keto at his suggestion. I discussed my meds with him and told him I had been watching your's and Dr. Fung's channels. He said he thought your's and Dr. Fung's were two of the best channels to learn about diabetes and insulin resistance. I'm a long-time diabetic who's lastest (July 2020) A1C has dropped to 5.5. I was thrilled because I could never get below 6.1 even with lots of meds. Now I only take Jardiance and many days can even skip that. Hoping to be in the 4s at my next labs in January. Information I have learned from you and Dr. Fung has helped me achieve this goal. Thank you so very much.
Both my grandparents lived well into their 70s and they did this by jumping instead of walking. They jumped everywhere they were. The grocery store, the computer store, the laundromat, the kitchen, the soccer stadium, the hallway, the medical clinic, the basement, the hardware store, the fire station, the recording studio, the pantry, the boat ramp, pretty much everywhere.
Dr. Eckberg, I am so Grateful to you. I am on the journey, 460-385 in one year.. had some ups and down mistakes. But diligent. :) I usually have to watch your Vids several times and finally got myself notebook. Thank you,
Thank you for more great content. For Christians, fasting has a double benefit. It is no coincidence we are called to fast and it has benefits for both our spiritual and physical health. I ask everyone to think about that for a moment. God is good! Have a blessed day! 🙂
I really appreciate your clarity. Not everyone can teach well. You are excellent in communicating so that most folks can comprehend. This video finally clarified (no pun intended) WHY good fats are good and bad ones are bad. It also equips a person with what to look for on a label when grocery shopping so you don’t accidentally foods that may appear to be free of bad fats but actually still have them. Thus, you are very understandable as well as helpful in sharing vital information for weight loss and reducing inflammation in the body. Thank you for going into interesting and helpful detail so we can better understand HOW specific food choices impact outr bodies to either heal ir hurt. Best Wishes and keep up the excellent work!
Did anyone else spot the Gremlins reference at 13:22, you need to pause and move frame by frame to see it. Great video Doc, very clear explanations of what not to eat.
The simplicity and clarity with which Dr. Eckberg explains complex matters is pure genius! He has a true gift for teaching that only someone who has a deep knowledge and understanding of a topic can have!
Thanks. My vegan dr lectured me yesterday to only eat grains,fruit,veg. Last time i see him. I went in for eye infection. I've done great the last 2 yrs keto/carnivore
I burnt myself out on keto and on IF...after 2 1/2 years, I felt so exhausted. Just started sleeping all the time. Finally trying the carnivore diet and it's brought me back to life! After only one day, I woke up refreshed, my chronic back pain was gone! No daily headache. I didn't have to struggle out of bed...my 'bad' knee seemed fine, too! I wd encourage anyone to try this for at least a day or 2. My friend had similar results...no more joint pain. My other friend 's a.m. blood sugar went from 400 to 140...that took 4 days. I'm avo-vore actually. I eat a small avocado with every meal. I'll add plant foods back one at a time to see which agree with me and which to avoid. Never going back to that back pain again!
, included avocados. Only about a week. Wd still recommend for anyone to try. In just 2-3 days, I realized wheat def' wasn't for me. Also found that dairy's OK for me. Ev'one's different. Good to check it out first hand! Also ditched coconut oil
Dr. Sten Ekberg THANKS DR EKBERG, I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, MAINLY YOUR PATIENCE IN ANSWERING ALMOST ALL THE COMMENTS, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Henry Kim. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Thanksgiving: corn, rolls with margarine, stuffing , potatoes with margarine, corn bread, bean casserole with mushroom “cream sauce” And a little turkey with corn syrup sweetened cranberry sauce , Apple pie , ice cream , then a good nap. No wonder some of us wake up in the ER .
This will change how i am prep for the holiday dinner or dinners alone. The food and fat can heal or hurt us so what its gonna be??? Go cheap now and pay later or pay up now so later down the road it be a smooth sailing and transitions...
At last ...a food nutrition specialist who speaks in plain simple english that everyone can understand and benefit from. I enjoy the graphics and the pacing of these lectures.
Thank you Teleflex. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.

@@drekberg No thank you, DR. Your channel has made me a more informed food shopper..and more importantly more informed about what foods I put in my body. Keep on informing, and educating us.🤗
@@drekberg Absolutely! The understanding of WHY eating (for example) 'reduced fat yoghurt' is so much worse for all of us than the ordinary /normal 'full fat' one is a lifetime lesson in not flooding one's body with excessive amounts of insulin - which piles fat on, locks it away and then engenders hunger!!! THANK YOU, Dr Sten, for helping all of us understand how this complicated machine known as the human body actually works!!!
@@paulfaulkner6299 Glad you mentioned this comparison .. I get a little confused over this. "Some" low fat/reduced sour creams & cream cheeses the carb counts really aren't that different than the high fat one's. Is it only the low fat yoghurts that you should stay away from?
@@shapienails3067 Hi Shapie. In short, anything with the fat taken out of it will have had some form of sugar (carbohydrate) put in it in its place. eg Low fat cheese - avoid like the plague! We have cave-man bodies. If it was around (meaning the foodstuff you're considering eating) thousands or just even hundreds of years ago (excepting any form of bread) you can have it in your diet. If it was "invented" within the last 60 or so years, leave it alone because you can bet your bottom dollar it will be bad for you !!!!
Dear Dr. Eckberg, on most levels I am in total agreement. The issue of organic and grass fed is where you loose me. When we look at grass fed who is checking to say it’s so. There is so much marketing in this area. Additionally, meat marked as American may very well be coming from South America, Canada, China etc. As long as it’s packaged here in the United States it can be labeled America. Unless one personally is purchasing directly from a farm and checks the feeding and process grass fed may just a way to up the price.
I have learnedt so much from you in less than 3 months on diets, foods, fat, and exercise educations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight.
I added a vibration/oscillation plate to my workouts. It has 60 levels for vibrations and 60 for oscillations and each can be used by itself, thanks to two separate motors. I stand on it, sit on it, do pushups, squats, single leg squats, waist bends, crunches and isometrics by pausing at different positions throughout the exercises, and I swear my strength has improved very quickly. When I first started, I was sore for several days just doing simple movements. I read several articles that said the vibrations and oscillations work the muscles constantly, many times per second, even when you're just standing on it and keeping your balance. Well, they were right. After one month using it everyday for 30-60 minutes each day, the results were incredible. I purchased one named Bio Quake, which was around $200, weighs 45 lbs, and it is very sturdy. Some of the benefits are: weight loss, increased strength, improved circulation, reduced swelling, reduced joint swelling, draining of lymph fluid build-up, toning and building muscle, and improved flexibility. I never used one before, but I am a firm believer now. Combine that with Keto and it is a conditioning winner.
Me too and never hungry...but, lots of residual skin and fat hanging from upper arms and thighs...guess l waited to long to think of my health.. Don't think a 74yr old body can shrink skin any longer :(
Ok, how about lard ? It`s a forgotten food in the west, but central and eastern Europe still uses it - things like salo (unmelted pig lard, salted, sometimes smoked, eaten as a snack, with onion , garlic, bread), smalec - melted and stilled to a paste with graves, to smear on bread. Lard is also often used for frying, or to "grease" boiled buckwheat. Lard+groats, or lard+pea/beans was very popular medieval and renessaince food in central Europe. Often eaten with onion, garlic, and soured vegetables (cabbage, cucumbers, beetroots, etc)
Great video Dr. Ekberg. Your teaching style is unique among all the excellent YT keto channels. It combines a very accessible framework of knowledge with practical examples. For so long we have been told by our doctors “just do this, or take this pill”. Part of the problem is the sad state of nutritional knowledge required of doctors and time constraints. Most med schools still don’t teach even the basics of nutrition. And much of the dietary industry is in the pocket of the large food corporations. I learned many years ago as a young engineer in manufacturing, you build quality in through good design, materials and processes. Our “sick care” industries are built to apply expensive bandaids to broken people following unscientific advice most often provided by the companies and industries that make huge profits “treating” chronic lifestyle diseases. Why would they ever want to change? It is up to the individuals to educate themselves, and their doctors. And to spread the message in a supportive non-judgmental fashion family and friends. I would love to hear more about how you got started on the path to studying medicine and nutrition.
Thank you HarvardBob. I was always interested in figuring out how to perform better. I quickly realized that medicine had nothing to offer in terms of improving function. Chiropractic was a hands on way to improve function immediately, but as I got into Chiropractic school, I soon got my eyes opened to how important mind and nutrition was in addition to structure. Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra were some of my early influences.😄
Doing IF and keto for 3 years, lost 40 lbs. Last month, I started OMAD, because I was not able to lose weight anymore, and I still need to lose 30 lbs to get my regular expected weight. My waist started to shrink week by week, feeling great again! I eat at 7 P.M., and I consume various types of cheese, veggies, soup, salad (no tomatoes or things high in carbs) but with olive oil, and 2 handsful of pumpkin seeds everyday... counts about 1000-1200 calories. I am happy!
I wished my parents and my grand parents had this fundamental based knowledge. Thanks for sharing. I think we are one of the first generation who a responsible to grow with itand take it to the future.
Thank you Nakota Apache. This generation has more knowledge but also more challenges with more toxicity and worse food than ever before. We can't take health for granted anymore. The ones who learn and apply will be healthier than ever, 😀but the ones who just coast will be sicker than ever.😕
Thank you xixi tan. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
There is just so much infromation in these lectures, that taking notes and going over them is essential if you really want to get a handle on all of this. This is the most important series by Dr. Ekberg and it should be taught in schools and to all adults so we know just how to stay healthy and keep the promoters for bad health and their products out of our lives. This is a termedous service to all of us and there is not even one detail left undone. Never had such a comprehensive understanding of what's going on with our food!!! Thank you Dr. Ekberg, you deserve the Health noble prize!!!! Teach the world!!!!
Excellent video presentation. I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to explain your message fully and don't feel pressured into making sound-bite length videos.

fantastic! based on your videos, I believe all those factories that make bad food and sell them as good stuff should be prosecuted! They are killers and they know it!
Thank you for your very informative and easy to comprehend videos. I binge watch everyday the past two weeks and have learned so much. I’m happy to share that I lost 5 lbs and I’m now fat adapted.
Another excellent one, Dr. Ekberg...I know all these stuff already but still can't resist watching it all the way. You explain it very well in a layman's language.
Great video! The last fat you mentioned, Saturated Fat, is currently my favorite. I mostly eat grass-fed lamb and beef fats (from local farm store). I buy them raw and cook them myself. My sand second favorites are regular grass-fed butter and Ghee (from local farm store). And then last come coconut and olive oils.
We were best in the 50's when you just ate normally not all this obsession with food. Then you just had veg, and some meat if you were lucky. Rationing helped in a way as there was no grazing twenty four seven. No one was obese, fat or overweight. The more you overthink your food intake the more confusing it becomes. We are over satiated.
I wish Dr. Ekberg did zoom consultations. I would love to have a one on one bc I believe everyone is unique and I would love his advice/insight on my life
I’m obese and I’m doing intermittent fasting 20-4 but I’m having trouble getting all my calories/ fat in . Thank you for explaining these are goals, not exact numbers, other than keeping carbs low. I get very full and have been happy with one meal a day. I checked my am glucose it was 108....I didn’t eat anything and checked at 12:00 and it was 116. I’m still confused about blood sugar.
You are doing fine. Why do you think you must get your calories and fats IN? Eat until you are satisfied OMAD and you will be fine. Drink water, walk if you can. Sometimes you may need a mineral supplement. Be sure to get enough sleep.
I have said before, Dr. Ekberg, I marvel at your knowledge and wisdom. I appreciate your ability to explain the intricate in a simplified manner I am able to understand. Thank you.
An outstanding presentation, Doctor! Thank you so much! Could you also explain the benefits of sesame, groundnut and mustard oil? Also, how do they compare to olive and coconut oil?
Can you please make a video on why I’m having panic attacks on keto and IF. Also can you talk about preventing loose saggy skin whilst losing weight on keto.
Thank you Adam Khan. Not an easy one. All I can suggest is that you go slower in reducing the carbs and make sure you don't starve yourself. Anytime you change something your body has to adapt to the new situation.😄
Dr. Sten Ekberg. Thank you for your quick reply. I am consuming healthy fats and quality proteins, also very little carbs come from berries, nuts, avocados. My 4th week on keto and all of a sudden I am experiencing anxiety and panic. Maybe my body is stressed out and has to be adapt.
@@adamkhan402 if I may share from my own experience, when i started keto over 3 years ago, i used to get heart palpitations the first couple of months. Increasing my magnesium helped me a lot. Especially with muscle cramps & quality of sleep. I used to take 200mg twice per day (morning & at bedtime) Make sure you stick to the diet. Don't go in & out of ketosis. Your body needs time to detox & adapt. Usually after 2-3 months you'll be fully adapted & will feel totally energized. Also regarding the loose skin, weight training will help but depending on how long you were overweight, how much weight you lose & how fast, some loose skin is inevitable. But i've noticed over the past 3 years, my skin seems tighter overall. If the loose skin is around your belly, it may not fully disappear, but think of it as your "belt-of-glory" 😉💪
That's a job for a therapist, psychologist, seriously, no joke. Mine came back recently with all what's going on, I do keto and IF since November 2019, symptoms started 3 months ago.
I cringe whenever I walk past the cakes in my supermarket's bakery section. Not only do they use that Crisco based icing, but these days they put so much food-coloring in it that you can actually taste it. And there's often more icing than cake! Yuck!
@@rosemarycooper1572 I live in Germany and we've been to Austria many times, but I'm not tempted by any of the sweets there, or anywhere really. I gave up coffee last month though, and that's hard to pass up. My husband makes it every morning. 😭
i have been on a keto/carnivorish diet and switched to ultra high fat low protein. I dropped 10lbs in only 10days. a solid pound EVERY night 😱🤯😳 and i wasn´t very overweight... more than with waterfasting
I thank you for all your hard work that go into you research and videos. Great quality, such good information and one of the best presenters of the material. Respect Dr.. Eckberg.
your videos are very enlightening. it deserves to be translated into my mother tongue so that other people have the opportunity to have this knowledge 👌 I'll do it when I'm free. Great job Dr. Ekberg 👏

The battle is with fat,,, the fat stuck on your waist,, it's there because the cells are already full of fat,,,
I finally got mad enough at myself for yoyoing that I started intermittent fasting & combined it with OMAD. Been going strong for two weeks now & have lost 15 lbs, my clothes fit better too.
This man is becoming my favorite hero !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Accurate (in my opinion) and direct, non confusing info... brilliant...
Thank you Darren Thompson. I'm glad to hear it. 😄
Thank you for all your info. I was diagnosed with stage 2 diabetes at a A1C of 6.9. Four months ago I started keeping my carbs below 10 and started intermittent fasting and longer fasting like 3, 4,5 and 7 day fasting with OMAD. I’m down 80lbs and now my A1C is 4.7. I also started exercising the way you said to, thanks for your help.
Are you taking any medication?
@@jeffreyzeitz1568 no
@@scottheldibridle7325 What means carbs below 10 ? How did you lower your A1C from 6.9% to 4.7% ? How many months you need it to lover your A1C ? 4 months ? What you mean : 3 , 4 , 5 and 7 days fasting ? Without any food for 7 days ( just water ) ? Or One Meal a Day ( OMAD ) ? When you eat the OMAD ? By which hour have you eat OMAD ?
I urge everyone to have their friends watch this video twice for understanding!
This is one of the best explanations
I have seen about the purpose of eating a low carb high, fat diet and clearly distinguishes which fats are healthy, which are unhealthy, and why. Valuable knowledge to improve the health of everyone!!!
I usually share Dr. Ekberg on fb.
Warning!!!!
There are GOOD fats and BAD fats!
These Dr’s are not releasing the warnings of BAD fats! They are promoting bad fats as if they don’t
CLOG YOUR ARTERIES, they do!!
While a high fat diet may be helping you lose weight, it is NOT heart healthy!
The Atkins diet author, Dr Atkins died of HEART disease!!

Don’t you wish you had teachers like this back in school. He definitely is a life changer if you can get The info stuck in your brain for your lifespan. Amazing
There is a saying: when you are ready to learn, you will find a teacher. I'm not saying the good doctor isn't very good; he is. But maybe many of your school teachers were also,, but you (we all) weren't ready for what they had to teach. Just a thought...
Why unhealthy foods are always cheap and healthy foods are always expensive 😭
Apparently it's only like that in america u-u
Because of the biggest buyers of chemicals and medication/hormones are farmers. And it backfires on the consumers
That's not true
Hi Dr. E, I just saw my doctor today and he is thrilled with my progress since going keto at his suggestion. I discussed my meds with him and told him I had been watching your's and Dr. Fung's channels. He said he thought your's and Dr. Fung's were two of the best channels to learn about diabetes and insulin resistance. I'm a long-time diabetic who's lastest (July 2020) A1C has dropped to 5.5. I was thrilled because I could never get below 6.1 even with lots of meds. Now I only take Jardiance and many days can even skip that. Hoping to be in the 4s at my next labs in January. Information I have learned from you and Dr. Fung has helped me achieve this goal. Thank you so very much.
I think you and Dr Eric Berg should make a collaberation video together! The power of two 👍🏼
ICE-ICE-BERG! Very cool idea!
This information is what I needed 30 years ago! No worries….. got it now!! Thank you kindly Sit! Priceless!💎
Both my grandparents lived well into their 70s and they did this by jumping instead of walking. They jumped everywhere they were. The grocery store, the computer store, the laundromat, the kitchen, the soccer stadium, the hallway, the medical clinic, the basement, the hardware store, the fire station, the recording studio, the pantry, the boat ramp, pretty much everywhere.
70’s isn’t very old.
Dr. Eckberg, I am so Grateful to you. I am on the journey, 460-385 in one year.. had some ups and down mistakes. But diligent. :) I usually have to watch your Vids several times and finally got myself notebook. Thank you,
Thank you for more great content. For Christians, fasting has a double benefit. It is no coincidence we are called to fast and it has benefits for both our spiritual and physical health. I ask everyone to think about that for a moment. God is good! Have a blessed day! 🙂
And for Muslims, fasting is for cleansing the soul & the body and building character & discipline.
@@Rachidasister what building characters are you talking about? 🤔
Amen 🙏🏼
Amen 🙏🏽 yes, very true! God is awesome 👏🏽
Fasting is part of both Judaism and Islam.
I really appreciate your clarity. Not everyone can teach well. You are excellent in communicating so that most folks can comprehend.
This video finally clarified (no pun intended) WHY good fats are good and bad ones are bad. It also equips a person with what to look for on a label when grocery shopping so you don’t accidentally foods that may appear to be free of bad fats but actually still have them. Thus, you are very understandable as well as helpful in sharing vital information for weight loss and reducing inflammation in the body. Thank you for going into interesting and helpful detail so we can better understand HOW specific food choices impact outr bodies to either heal ir hurt. Best Wishes and keep up the excellent work!
Did anyone else spot the Gremlins reference at 13:22, you need to pause and move frame by frame to see it. Great video Doc, very clear explanations of what not to eat.
I searched to see if anyone else noticed this. I thought I was going crazy, lol
i saw it at normal speed and i thought, was that a Gremlin? Yes!
See it lol
I did😂😂😂
The simplicity and clarity with which Dr. Eckberg explains complex matters is pure genius! He has a true gift for teaching that only someone who has a deep knowledge and understanding of a topic can have!
Thanks. My vegan dr lectured me yesterday to only eat grains,fruit,veg. Last time i see him. I went in for eye infection. I've done great the last 2 yrs keto/carnivore
Thank you G Kemp. Good for you.😄
@@drekberg Dr Exberg what are the FASTING hours please share.
I burnt myself out on keto and on IF...after 2 1/2 years, I felt so exhausted. Just started sleeping all the time. Finally trying the carnivore diet and it's brought me back to life! After only one day, I woke up refreshed, my chronic back pain was gone! No daily headache. I didn't have to struggle out of bed...my 'bad' knee seemed fine, too! I wd encourage anyone to try this for at least a day or 2. My friend had similar results...no more joint pain. My other friend 's a.m. blood sugar went from 400 to 140...that took 4 days. I'm avo-vore actually. I eat a small avocado with every meal. I'll add plant foods back one at a time to see which agree with me and which to avoid. Never going back to that back pain again!
What do you eat and how are you doing now?
Are you not like KETO Diet ? What about colorectal cancer with high proteins and high fats ? Low fibers make colorectal cancer .
, included avocados. Only about a week. Wd still recommend for anyone to try. In just 2-3 days, I realized wheat def' wasn't for me. Also found that dairy's OK for me. Ev'one's different. Good to check it out first hand! Also ditched coconut oil
@@luk5827 I'm now low carb, but not Keto. I was fasting too much

@@drekberg No thank you, DR. Your channel has made me a more informed food shopper..and more importantly more informed about what foods I put in my body. Keep on informing, and educating us.🤗
@@drekberg Absolutely! The understanding of WHY eating (for example) 'reduced fat yoghurt' is so much worse for all of us than the ordinary /normal 'full fat' one is a lifetime lesson in not flooding one's body with excessive amounts of insulin - which piles fat on, locks it away and then engenders hunger!!! THANK YOU, Dr Sten, for helping all of us understand how this complicated machine known as the human body actually works!!!
@@paulfaulkner6299 Glad you mentioned this comparison .. I get a little confused over this. "Some" low fat/reduced sour creams & cream cheeses the carb counts really aren't that different than the high fat one's. Is it only the low fat yoghurts that you should stay away from?
@@shapienails3067 Hi Shapie. In short, anything with the fat taken out of it will have had some form of sugar (carbohydrate) put in it in its place. eg Low fat cheese - avoid like the plague! We have cave-man bodies. If it was around (meaning the foodstuff you're considering eating) thousands or just even hundreds of years ago (excepting any form of bread) you can have it in your diet. If it was "invented" within the last 60 or so years, leave it alone because you can bet your bottom dollar it will be bad for you !!!!
Dear Dr. Eckberg, on most levels I am in total agreement. The issue of organic and grass fed is where you loose me. When we look at grass fed who is checking to say it’s so. There is so much marketing in this area. Additionally, meat marked as American may very well be coming from South America, Canada, China etc. As long as it’s packaged here in the United States it can be labeled America. Unless one personally is purchasing directly from a farm and checks the feeding and process grass fed may just a way to up the price.
I have learnedt so much from you in less than 3 months on diets, foods, fat, and exercise educations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight.
I am delighted to FINALLY see someone else who hates the 'icing on the cake' metaphor!!!
I added a vibration/oscillation plate to my workouts. It has 60 levels for vibrations and 60 for oscillations and each can be used by itself, thanks to two separate motors. I stand on it, sit on it, do pushups, squats, single leg squats, waist bends, crunches and isometrics by pausing at different positions throughout the exercises, and I swear my strength has improved very quickly. When I first started, I was sore for several days just doing simple movements. I read several articles that said the vibrations and oscillations work the muscles constantly, many times per second, even when you're just standing on it and keeping your balance. Well, they were right. After one month using it everyday for 30-60 minutes each day, the results were incredible. I purchased one named Bio Quake, which was around $200, weighs 45 lbs, and it is very sturdy. Some of the benefits are: weight loss, increased strength, improved circulation, reduced swelling, reduced joint swelling, draining of lymph fluid build-up, toning and building muscle, and improved flexibility. I never used one before, but I am a firm believer now. Combine that with Keto and it is a conditioning winner.
Dr Ekberg is a great teacher. He has become one of my goto sources of quality information on health and diet related content.
“Icing on the cake” equals the “final nail in the coffin”
you can use butter to make icing
Always great advice 👍
I'm doing Intermiting fasting and keto and down 70 lbs since December 🙂
Gary what are the FASTING hours you are doing
Me too and never hungry...but, lots of residual skin and fat hanging from upper arms and thighs...guess l waited to long to think of my health..
Don't think a 74yr old body can shrink skin any longer :(
@@denasharpe2393 hi i think vitamin E helps.take it internally and applying Vitamin E enriched oil on your skin helps...
Ok, how about lard ?
It`s a forgotten food in the west, but central and eastern Europe still uses it - things like salo (unmelted pig lard, salted, sometimes smoked, eaten as a snack, with onion , garlic, bread), smalec - melted and stilled to a paste with graves, to smear on bread. Lard is also often used for frying, or to "grease" boiled buckwheat.
Lard+groats, or lard+pea/beans was very popular medieval and renessaince food in central Europe. Often eaten with onion, garlic, and soured vegetables (cabbage, cucumbers, beetroots, etc)
Great video Dr. Ekberg. Your teaching style is unique among all the excellent YT keto channels. It combines a very accessible framework of knowledge with practical examples. For so long we have been told by our doctors “just do this, or take this pill”. Part of the problem is the sad state of nutritional knowledge required of doctors and time constraints. Most med schools still don’t teach even the basics of nutrition. And much of the dietary industry is in the pocket of the large food corporations. I learned many years ago as a young engineer in manufacturing, you build quality in through good design, materials and processes. Our “sick care” industries are built to apply expensive bandaids to broken people following unscientific advice most often provided by the companies and industries that make huge profits “treating” chronic lifestyle diseases. Why would they ever want to change? It is up to the individuals to educate themselves, and their doctors. And to spread the message in a supportive non-judgmental fashion family and friends. I would love to hear more about how you got started on the path to studying medicine and nutrition.
Thank you HarvardBob. I was always interested in figuring out how to perform better. I quickly realized that medicine had nothing to offer in terms of improving function. Chiropractic was a hands on way to improve function immediately, but as I got into Chiropractic school, I soon got my eyes opened to how important mind and nutrition was in addition to structure. Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra were some of my early influences.😄
Well done Dr. Sten Ekberg. You are extraordinary. Thanks
Greatest teacher of our time, thank you and God bless you all.
So agree!!
This video is by far the best video I have ever watched.
Doing IF and keto for 3 years, lost 40 lbs. Last month, I started OMAD, because I was not able to lose weight anymore, and I still need to lose 30 lbs to get my regular expected weight. My waist started to shrink week by week, feeling great again! I eat at 7 P.M., and I consume various types of cheese, veggies, soup, salad (no tomatoes or things high in carbs) but with olive oil, and 2 handsful of pumpkin seeds everyday... counts about 1000-1200 calories. I am happy!
Thank you Atalay Ant for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
What does OMAD mean??

There is just so much infromation in these lectures, that taking notes and going over them is essential if you really want to get a handle on all of this. This is the most important series by Dr. Ekberg and it should be taught in schools and to all adults so we know just how to stay healthy and keep the promoters for bad health and their products out of our lives. This is a termedous service to all of us and there is not even one detail left undone. Never had such a comprehensive understanding of what's going on with our food!!! Thank you Dr. Ekberg, you deserve the Health noble prize!!!! Teach the world!!!!
Agreed I have a notebook too😊
Thanks Dr. Ekberg, Prior to this video I thought Keto was meat only. Being mostly a plant eater I am inspired!
We so need nutrition taught in schools!! Maybe for older kids, it could go in depth. Not just in elementary school, but again in middle & HS.
Excellent video presentation. I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to explain your message fully and don't feel pressured into making sound-bite length videos.

Thank you Jose Ignacio. The many useless videos out there are one of my greatest motivations to make something better. I'm glad to hear you liked it.😄

Thank you for your very informative and easy to comprehend videos. I binge watch everyday the past two weeks and have learned so much. I’m happy to share that I lost 5 lbs and I’m now fat adapted.
Another excellent one, Dr. Ekberg...I know all these stuff already but still can't resist watching it all the way. You explain it very well in a layman's language.
When did Ekberg start keto as for 58 he looks decent but look at Lenny Kravits at 56 and look's awesome, he is supposedly vegan.
Just imagine all these lessons were taught to our kids from the beginning of school!
Excellent, thanks/merci ! NB: there's actually a small mistake on that graphic at 12:10. Who has seen which one? 😉

I was able to engage keto on me by eating 12 boiled eggs a day. After 3 weaks? 12 kgs down
Great video!
The last fat you mentioned, Saturated Fat, is currently my favorite. I mostly eat grass-fed lamb and beef fats (from local farm store). I buy them raw and cook them myself. My sand second favorites are regular grass-fed butter and Ghee (from local farm store). And then last come coconut and olive oils.
13:22 ...Gremlin insert was really hard to catch and pause on :-D
Thank you for your clear, concise and informative videos. Will you please do a video on resistant starch? I appreciate you!
We were best in the 50's when you just ate normally not all this obsession with food.
Then you just had veg, and some meat if you were lucky.
Rationing helped in a way as there was no grazing twenty four seven. No one was obese, fat or overweight. The more you overthink your food intake the more confusing it becomes.
We are over satiated.
I am going to re-evaluate my eating habits. Thanks for all this useful information. 👍

Essential Fats was my nickname in college.
I’m obese and I’m doing intermittent fasting 20-4 but I’m having trouble getting all my calories/ fat in . Thank you for explaining these are goals, not exact numbers, other than keeping carbs low. I get very full and have been happy with one meal a day. I checked my am glucose it was 108....I didn’t eat anything and checked at 12:00 and it was 116. I’m still confused about blood sugar.
Maybe you have insuline resistance
You are doing fine. Why do you think you must get your calories and fats IN? Eat until you are satisfied OMAD and you will be fine. Drink water, walk if you can. Sometimes you may need a mineral supplement. Be sure to get enough sleep.
I have said before, Dr. Ekberg, I marvel at your knowledge and wisdom. I appreciate your ability to explain the intricate in a simplified manner I am able to understand. Thank you.
An outstanding presentation, Doctor! Thank you so much!
Could you also explain the benefits of sesame, groundnut and mustard oil? Also, how do they compare to olive and coconut oil?
Can you please make a video on why I’m having panic attacks on keto and IF.
Also can you talk about preventing loose saggy skin whilst losing weight on keto.
Thank you Adam Khan. Not an easy one. All I can suggest is that you go slower in reducing the carbs and make sure you don't starve yourself. Anytime you change something your body has to adapt to the new situation.😄
Dr. Sten Ekberg. Thank you for your quick reply. I am consuming healthy fats and quality proteins, also very little carbs come from berries, nuts, avocados.
My 4th week on keto and all of a sudden I am experiencing anxiety and panic. Maybe my body is stressed out and has to be adapt.
@@adamkhan402 if I may share from my own experience, when i started keto over 3 years ago, i used to get heart palpitations the first couple of months. Increasing my magnesium helped me a lot. Especially with muscle cramps & quality of sleep.
I used to take 200mg twice per day (morning & at bedtime)
Make sure you stick to the diet. Don't go in & out of ketosis. Your body needs time to detox & adapt. Usually after 2-3 months you'll be fully adapted & will feel totally energized.
Also regarding the loose skin, weight training will help but depending on how long you were overweight, how much weight you lose & how fast, some loose skin is inevitable. But i've noticed over the past 3 years, my skin seems tighter overall.
If the loose skin is around your belly, it may not fully disappear, but think of it as your "belt-of-glory" 😉💪
That's a job for a therapist, psychologist, seriously, no joke. Mine came back recently with all what's going on, I do keto and IF since November 2019, symptoms started 3 months ago.
