      Can you explain why I have worse blood sugars after fasting? I did some extended fasting and became deficient in potassium and magnesium. I'm still having to eat bananas, avocados, coconut water and dark chocolate to compensate. But... I did this to lose weight not because I had hyperglycemia. And now, my blood sugar levels are higher than before I tried fasting. 90 - 105 in the morning, 140s after fruit (excluding berries). Thoughts??

    I'm eating on a 16:8 fasting routine. I first tried it a couple of years ago. I soon felt a lot healthier and I lost a bit of weight. Stupidly, after 3 months I thought it'd be sensible to go back to my old eating habits, even though I often didn't feel hungry I ate at 'regular' mealtimes. I got the weight back and I didn't feel well.
    Finally the penny dropped and I returned to the 16:8 pattern. I feel good now, I eat when I'm hungry and I look slimmer too because my body is re-sculpting me. I'm 77 and feel about 25 years younger. Yay!

    Just yesterday I read an article on Chrome. Recently they have done a study in China. It was a month long study. Not only did most of the people lose approximately 7/8kg during that month but the interesting findings were that the intermittent fasting resulted in changes in the brain. With MRI scans they noted positive changes in the areas of the brain controlling addictions. It also changed people’s control over their appetite. Furthermore the study indicated something fascinating… it positively changed the microbiome of the gut.

So many contractory information exist on the subject, that I stopped the fasting...... wrong decision. Many many thanks again. Note that I follow a keto diet since December 2023 and lost few kilos.

      yep, it's incredible the priority given sometimes to "apps" and "tracking"... those are for sure nice toys, but can be obsessive. Moreover, one first should recognize that the human body has "many brains" already, feedback systems, "algorithms" that we have still to discover, and they work in the background and well if you bring the body back in equilibrium; give the intelligence of the body a chance, it's a bio high tech, much more advanced than the current silicon stuff.

    A year ago, I followed advice from this channel, kicked carbs and sugar. That included snacks and desserts, of course. Once that was done, and the cravings settled, going to OMAD was easy. Just made sure to focus on healthy greens, veg, fish, meat and eggs for that meal and prepare it from scratch. No more ultra processed garbage. Hunger wasn't really an issue without the carb roller coaster. I felt great and was able to go to every second day and stretch the fast several times a month. I started that year wearing 5L. Well, that's all in the trash now, and I'm wearing brand new L size. I have energy to spare, have increased exercise and am building new routines and hobbies. No one is going to convince me intermittent fasting doesn't work, and I am grateful for all the advice each week!!

I started intermittent fasting and over the course of the past 2 years I have done progressivley longer fasts. My longest fast so far is 9 days. Long story short. My A1c is down to 5.3. My Blood pressure is 90/50. My triglycerides are below 100. My resting heart rate has gone from 85 to 66. And my doctor has taken me off of all medications. I now weigh 209lbs. I am 65 years old and I have no aches or pains ever since I let go of sugar through fasting.

    Chimps walk five miles a day foraging for food in the wild. While refrigerators provide convenience, they contribute to our undoing. If we were hunting and gathering, it’s unlikely that obesity would be an issue. Our movement ratio is reduced by our lifestyles.

      You can’t outrun a bad diet. The majority of obesity is caused by insulin resistance, which is due to the junk we eat. So, in order to reverse that, people MUST change their eating habits. There are also many people who have lost hundreds of pounds without any exercise. I’m not saying don’t exercise, but it is not nearly as important as what and when you eat in fat loss.

    I started this IF back in December having watched a few of your old videos. I went from 94kg to now 78kg (I'm 1.74m so I'm targeting 72-73kg). I don't think I ever went over the 28 hour mark without eating but I kept it at one meal a day (when I eat to my heart's content). I do try to keep the food varied and I get my "sugar treats" usually from grapes and other fruit. The weight loss didn't come as a huge shock given that I reduced my alcohol intake by quite a bit along with the IF. But what was truly surprising was the increase in my mental and intellectual capacity, I used to be quite forgetful (to the point that I was starting to get properly worried) but that's all gone. I'm a lot more alert, I sleep better, and I don't feel I'm tormenting myself in any way by sticking to 1 meal a day. Many thanks for all your videos.

I also have SI joint issues so I am not very active so my weight loss was while sitting in my recliner!! I am OMAD and ketovore and I eat my meal around 6pm. Plenty of animal protein and plenty of animal fats with low-carb veggies, I have fried (in bacon fat and avocado oil) over 150 pounds of cabbage since October. We also eat onions, asparagus, and legumes along with salads. My husband is much more active and has lost 120 pounds and also lost his meds going from A1C of 6.4 to 5.3. I am not hungry during the day, rarely have snacks (clean healthy) and of course, we love sardines for a pick-me-up when longer fasting. I have added iodine drops to my daily intake. I hate math so why count calories. Weight Watchers and Diabetes are now pushing Ozempic because their plans don't actually work, WW has fat instructors so how can they say their point system works!!

      Calorie restriction becomes an ALL DAY EVENT that revolves around all the things I can eat and can’t eat and nonstop calculations. I did calorie restriction plus macro calculations for every meal for months. I saw no significant weight loss/health improvement and actually was pretty stressed. Calorie restriction causes you to only view food as its sum of calories and “can I fit it in my daily allowance,” not “is this nourishing for me.” That is absolutely not the case with fasting. It’s a mindset shift.

Despite that, my fasting insulin level have gone from 81 to 36 in 3 months, A1C finally below 6.0. The weight's not coming off, but I chalk that up to not being fully LCHF/2MAD, high stress job and life, and not enough regular exercise. Progress is a process...

    I struggled for years with gallbladder sludge, stones and attacks that would end with me in the ER and a doctor telling me to have my GB removed. I also had terrible IBS, constipation, fissures and hemorrhoids, GERD and SIBO.
    The irony of that is that was while I was on an organic, whole-foods, plant-based diet, fresh fruits, veg, grain, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc. No SAD or seed oils and never any fast foods.
    Through years of that and an elimination diet, I finally healed by going 90-95% animal based, low carb. Eating 60% healthy fats healed my gut, SIBO, gallbladder and and whole host of other issues I had with hormones including migraines. No matter how hard I tried to be healthy with a plant based diet, I was unable to get enough quality protein and fats and the gut issues from all that fiber was literally killing me.
    I only fast overnight. Sometimes longer and sometimes shorter. It is more about the food in the diet that is what has brought about the changes. Eat real, minimally processed animal based food if you want to give your body the building blocks it needs.

      Thank you @user-ny8yw4un8q. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. We are now dubbing the audio in multiple languages including Hindi if you know some people who prefer that. It should be available for this mornings video in a few minutes. 😄

      @@drekberg Thankyou sir
      Yes, I think dubbing in Hindi would be great since before that I had some friends and relatives who have a little language barrier and thus I transcribed your knowledge and delivered them to my best
      But now I think the true authenticity and explanation structure would help them to understand even in a better way

    I enjoy the feeling at the end of a 24 hour fast. Any weight loss is an added bonus. Do it once or twice a week just for the sensation of clarity and focus. Plus breaking the fast makes the food taste just that much better.

    This video should go in your greatest hits playlist Dr. Ekberg. Thanks for all the good advice you’ve been giving us over the years. I’ll continue to share your ideas with my friends and family. Because of the mainstream media and big pharma, It’s a tough sell, but I do have a brother-in-law who is following your lifestyle. This makes me feel really good. 🎉. Joy, joy!

    I am +50 and I did a 3-day water fast. It basically reset my eating habits. I kept eating simple foods afterwards and here 43 days later, I went from 85.35kg to 80.40 kg. I also put some visible muscle on in the process. I just eat simple and for fuel now. Eggs, veggies, meat, cottage cheese which I make myself, sauerkraut which I also make. Nuts, dark chocolate, peas and such. Just simple foods. I do eat some fruit now and then... I made good use of many of your advices! Hello from a Dane :)

    Superb video! Especially appreciate your points about sugar's addiction and how it lights up the brain. Your third point about examples of concrete actions to take sets your video apart from all the others on the dangers of sugar. Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you very much indeed!
