Hi Doc, any chance to talk about legumes? I want to go low carb as plant based, not full keto, is legumes ok? Oil free Baked Falafel and hummus are my go to meal to increase my protein intake a bit, and eating nuts and seeds only is redondant... 🙏
Dr Ekberg, I've been on a keto diet for a month now. I started it to get my glucose under control. It was registering 250-350. Now, since I started Keto it is down to 130-150. It will not go below this range. Am I doing something wrong? I take 2,000 mg of Metformin and 1500 mg of berberine. Will it keep me from going into ketosis with the glucose nit going below this 150-130 range?
1. Drink ACV 2. Fermented foods 3. Fiber 4. Up the fats 5. Sleep 6. Exercise / HIIT 7. Reduce Cortisol, stress level needs to go down 8. Cut the carbs 9. Reduce frequency of meals per day 10. Fasting!
Keto and intermittent fasting was a total game changer for me. I cut carbs to about 35 per day, and calories to 1,600 to 1,800. I lost nearly 40 lbs. As I kept pursuing getting down to 135, I hit perimenopause. Then everything came to a halt. I went from losing 4 to 10 lbs per month to about 1. Finally, I did prolonged fasting every week...58 to 65 hours. Then I was able to drop 2 to 3 lbs per week again. I was totally fat adapted because of the ketogenic diet, so didn't totally feel like I was starving. I want to eat, but felt like it was mostly just boredom...a large portion of our lives revolve around food. This wasn't just for weight loss, but also to commit a certain time and dedication to the Lord...He keeps me on it when I want to just quit and eat. It has become special to me...not something I dread, but look forward to...extra measure of grace, and see the scale drop...what could be better! I love Dr. Ekberg's videos. He taught me what fasting does for your body, and how to come off of a prolonged fast. Blessings on anyone who chose to read my story!😇
Joyce June I’m 63 and have metabolic syndrome +type 2 diabetes. My son is a doc and it is frustrating how long I’ve been doing the wrong thing following Western medicine doctors advice! I am finally on the right track now. Hopefully, not too late!!
The way you explain everything makes everyone with little knowledge like me understand the mechanism of the body and enjoy it and it's wonderful. I always open UA-cam hopping to see an uploaded video of you. Thank you for caring about us.
Thank you Hannan Matouri. 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. Right now we try to release the videos Mon and Friday at noon EST. This might change, but that has been the schedule for years.
So well explained in the simplest language most people can grasp. You make hard subjects appear most undestandable to whom it may concern. ( majority of us ). For all your exposés, I and your attentive audience say: thank you so much Dr Ekberg. Believe me, your efforts are most appreciated. Until your next video. Cheers! Marc
Dr Eckberg has Changed my life! Just lost 20 pounds on low carbs and OMAD since the middle of February! I plateaued at 17pound weightloss for a month so went OMAD! Well it worked and I never gave up! I have Hashimotos and have a hard time losing weight! 4 more pounds to my 1st goal! Now wearing everything in my closet and feeling GREAT! This will be a new Life Style for me! The weight loss was quite easy compared to previous attempts! THANK YOU, Dr EKberg! My son lost 70 pounds in a year! My sister is also following your advice and has lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks!
The more I watch Dr. Ekberg's video. The healthier I become. From overweight (83 kg) last Dec.1, to Normal (68 kg) this March. From a 1100+ triglycerides to 150. HDL & LDL also within normal range. BP from 140~150/90~100 to 120-130/70~85. Also lost frequent migraine after starting KETO & IF. Never felt better than before.
This presentation should be given to every school, especially medical schools, the CEO’s and stockholders of practically everything. It will change the way we see things in the stores and hospitals.
Hi Dr. Ekberg! I have been enjoying your videos for several months now and I’m grateful for all I’ve learned. Thank you very much for publishing such great information. I’m 50 years old, have been obese for 25 years, but never thought I was very fat. Then I got diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I am now fasting daily, eating a fraction of the carbs I used to and feeling fantastic. Your videos are a huge help. I’m 5’5” tall and I’ve lost 36 pounds. It’s been life changing. Thank you again!
If you only come here to be called a health champion and listen to that positive music and that brain smiling at the beginning making you happier, that is already worth it. Not to mention the useful knowledge afterwards :)

Once again… dr Ekberg is my religion… found this guy a month ago and I watch him religiously every single day. He keeps me knowledgeable, sane and wary. I thank him so much. Since I started my keto and intermittent fasting watching his videos I’ve been losing weight healthily and happily. I never thought I would be able to have bacon or other fatty foods on a diet, I had a really bad idea of what a diet was. I was 270lbs in the beginning of the year, now I am today as we speak 240lbs. My goal is to be around 190lbs, I’m not starving myself, I’m simply being very focused, I got fat adapted and with that I can go long ways without eating and still have no hunger at all. My wife saw me doing it and being successful and now she is doing and she is also being successful. All thanks to dr Ekberg!
Yesterday I left a comment on your video about fasting. When I got on the scales there was no weight loss after 1 month of fasting and 2 weeks of extended time fasting of 14 to 16 hours. After watching this video today I will add begin 2 meals only and add more fat and absolutely NO CARBS and see if that kicks my metabolism into set point change. I have been 117 -120 lbs for almost 10yrs and always eating healthy. I quit smoking 🚬 16 mos ago and my body "broke" I just slept and slept and slept. Feeling better now and so needing to feel good about myself. I am not giving up on my goal to lose 15-19 lbs. I will be in touch...I have saved this video for future reference. Talk soon Dr. Ekberg. ❤
Dr E, I think you just might be saving my partner's health, one video at a time! His recent HbA1c level has him at pre-diabetes level. The advice from the doctor was to cut down on refined sugar, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, lots of wholegrains, low fat everything, low salt - you know the score! I tried to tell him what a recipe for disaster this approach would be, but his attitude was ' If my doctor and the UK diabetes association say it's right, it must be right '. So I made a playlist of videos, mostly yours and some of Dr Berg and Dr Fung, and just happened to have them playing on the tv when he came home from work just over a week ago. We watched them while we ate our steak and salad. I kept asking if he wanted to turn them off, but he was riveted! He's been low carb for a week (apart from some beer and bread at the weekend) and his belly fat is disappearing rapidly. He's even doing some 16:8 fasts. I can't thank you enough for all the effort and research you put into your videos 😊
Thank you Noodle p for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy for you and your partner. What great results! Keep it up! Please let all of us know what his HbA1c is in 3 months. I have a video on how long it will take to lower the A1c numbers. I hope he watches it and feels more motivated to get healthy.
@@drekberg interestingly they didn't explain what the test actually measures and the letter he received with the results said that he should be re-tested in year! I've told him he has to insist on being tested again in 3 months. I'll try and remember to update here.
@@noodlep2547 yes, we diabetics I'm a type one, we need to check our A1C every 3 months. My a1c is 5.1% like a non diabetic person because I follow a ketogenic lifestyle, it's been always between 5.3 and 5% for almost a year. And I don't need much insulin only injecting once a day. Before i was injecting 6 times a day
@@janesvoboda5564 yes. I've also read Dr. Jason Fung books. And with dr. Ekberg videos I've learned so much. In the place I am right now I feel amazing. And for being a type one diabetic with no overweight and with an A1C of a non diabetic person I think I'm doing great!
This is so helpful. I have under active thyroid and no gall bladder and have fought and lost the battle with weight for 30 years. This is the first time I feel well fed and cared for by this information. I have now lost 26lbs. Here's to success this time
I am doing all the things he suggests at the end of the video for 2 weeks now: keto diet, intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, slow exercising. I am losing weight in a healthy way, I am less tired after work, my allergy got a lot better (1 pill a week instead of every day) and I have never felt better!
This has to be the BEST and EASIEST to understand explanation of metabolism I have ever heard (in 3 years of 4 hours a day youtubes on diet/health). Thank you!!!!
I wrote down all 10 steps and will incorporate them. I've been on keto 2 and a half years, lost 65 lbs and I'm 50 years old. Stopped losing weight and I don't know why.
I fined your Chanel recently and all I am thinking is wow. What was I doing to my body for last 20 years. Sad I didn't find your Chanel sooner. Thank you for opening my eyes
This is so important what he’s saying about the body’s set point. If you have a lot of excess weight, you may find that it’s easy to lose weight until you get to your body’s set point, but difficult to lose weight once you do. I would just encourage you to stick with it because you’ll likely eventually breakthrough if you’re doing intermittent fasting and a healthy non-inflammatory (and even inflammatory triggers can vary from person to person) low carb diet. I’ve found that it’s critical to walk within that fasted state once the metabolic switch has taken place.
Amazing how beneficial this information is to a people stuck on a sugar train. Through Dr. Eckberg's videos, I have become more educated about my body, my lab results and food. After losing 25 lbs going from 194 to 169 in six months, my doctor was still telling me I needed to exercise and eat more healthy. I didn't understand then, but I know now that I was Insulin Resistant. These 10 items mentioned in this video have transformed my life and helped me get off the sugar train.
A "life saver"wow! have you not read the new medical research study that pinpoints "increased mortality" linked to the ketogenic diet? I wouldn't call him a "life saver" maybe Dr death.
Dr. Ekberg I just want to say you have been such a great teacher and role model and wanted to say thanks. In Dec 2019 I went in for my yearly physical and my doctor said I was pre diabetic. My count was 6.5 and weight was 240. I refused an nutritionist and said I would change. Did some research and found you videos and went to work. Had three month check-up and dropped 20# and 14 points on my sugar to a 5.0 and now normal. So thanks and keep the videos coming. Rick
AlleluYah!!!! You are the first person who finally said about "Biggest losers" (and it is me...) and about changing the set point of the metabolism! I came to this conclusion by myself and reading a lot about human metabolism... Five years ago i went down from 220 lbs (I'm 5'4" and then I was 49) to 123 lbs (by doing water fasting from 3 days to 21 days during 15 months and do very intensive exercise program)! I was so exited, energetic and happy, but when I've stopped fasting and doing very intensive exercises my weight has started to get back with unbelievable speed!!! And I was eating very little!!! It broke me down very badly... I knew, I could force myself to do anything, but I wanted to live, not to fight something all the time! I've started to read about our metabolism. And I realized one thing: all this information about getting out of the water fast, recommended to drink freshly made fruit/vegetable juices every 2-3 hours, is totally wrong and dangerous, because it is putting your freshly cleaned body into the insulin resistance immediately (because of the sugar in all those fruits) ! I've notice, that after doing this juices for 3-7 days after fasting, I felt such crazy starvation, that I couldn't control it!!! But at that point I had no clue about insulin resistance and only now I understood how harmful was those juices to me and how wrong was all those people who suggested this way to get out of the fast!!! I've stopped doing this, but then I realize about the reset of my "system"... I'm still looking how to do it after fasting and/or how long it will take to do... I'm guessing, that it is very unique way for each person, but this your video has given to me a lot of information! Thank you so much! I'm still trying to find the way how to reset my metabolism after water fast, which I'm planning to do again soon, because this is unbelievable great and fast way to put your life together and be energetic and healthy till the rest of it! Can you give any suggestions, please?.. Best regards! Maria
Dr Ekberg you’re a God sent blessing to all of us who were fortunate enough to discover your channel. Ever since I’ve started following you and your knowledge of healthy eating I feel much better and lots of my health issues have been declining. I used to try all the old ways of eating healthy which I know now that it really wasn’t healthy and it wasn’t improving my health at all diets such as low fat/ no fat mod carbs and proteins and the only bad carbs were eating too much of cookies and candies were bad carbs. We all were thought wrong. That’s why no body could stick to those diets. Lose a few pounds and back to the original wt and bigger. You’re a life changing dr. Thank you
Thank you. So very educational. This knowledge should be taught in schools so that children can better understand what is going on with their bodies and protect themselves from the onslaught of processed diets. I showed my 16 year old the video and he was riveted. As a prediabetic (emotional stress induced), I have learned to monitor my glucose. He is now encouraged to monitor his and is actively encouraged to take responsibility of his food choices, as it became clear for him to see too, how he was on his way to become diabetic, if he continued to eat the foods he enjoyed the most (Macdonalds, chocolates, cookies etc with no vegetables). I'm so happy. So once again, thank you for enlightening me, my son and many others who are benefiting from your guidance and knowledge :)
I'm getting back into your helpful videos, I was 220lbs now I'm 170 lbs height5'8" and still lchf. Keeping up with your videos helps me to stay on track. If I slip and get on the carbs, bang, I can put on a 3 lbs in a couple days. Thanks for your help.
Amazing video!!! This explains so well why diets don't work! You provide the solutions to the problem. Sadly, the body positive movement tells us to give up and be happy being fat bc diets don't work instead of fixing the broken metabolism and getting healthy. Sad. Thank you!!
Dr Ekberg, this is probably the most important video you've made! The key is the "set point". Once we fix the body's correct set point, then maintaining the right weight becomes effortlessly automatic. Maybe you should reintroduce and revive this topic in a new video. Fixing the body's setpoint is KEY. Thank you so much for the great health advice. Warm greetings from Italy 🍀💕☀️
This IS the MOST Important video for anyone interested in this subject to watch... without this understanding they are very unlikely to meet their long term goals... you MUST understand what it is you are doing & where you are trying to get to, before you can obtain your goal... less than 1/2 hr will save lives & add better quality to lives if people take the time to watch this important video... thanks Dr. appreciate you
Thank you for all your teaching Dr Stern. My husband & I are watching your videos everyday & learned a lot from you in losing the proper way. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. God bless you more!
Your such an excellent teacher. I’m able to understand so much about metabolism and other health issues because your method of providing clarity is amazing. Thank you so very, very much!
Thanks Doc, it always worth it watching your channel. Some people say intermittent fasting breaks metabolism but your channel explains things in detail. Thank you
I have been on a low calorie/low fat diet for the past 4 years,running 4 km every week day and 10km every weekend day 😢 I haven't gained back the weight but I also kept reducing the calorie intake very often. I used to eat 3 times a day(low calorie meals) + 3 snacks of bananas 😢 I did everything you say that shouldnt be done 😁 I am going to change thanks to your advice 🙏🏻 I just finished 72h water fasting and will start to mix the different intermitten techniques
The BEST video yet for me!! I’m very slow weight loss. im insulin resistant, keto, carnivore. Started keto 8 months ago, lost 65 pounds. Ketones way down every morning. I think that is why my weightloss is so slow.. will the ketones you buy help me? I’m very strick keto OMAD and fasting 24 hrs when I eat. The last 2 weeks I’ve fasted 72hrs and 92hrs. Ketones still low every morning...
Great Program ! Thank you for all the motivation!! It’s extremely helpful I have lost 18 lbs and have stayed this healthy lifestyle for one year - finally something that really works - and I don’t crave sugar or feel too hungry
My body is stuck at 60-63 kg. No matter how many things I have tried, it never changed 😭😭😭 any solution to this please. I am fasting today again and will continue till next for 40 days... I will update you about my progress 🙏
Hi Dr. Im tired of eating junk food from the streets like McDonalds. To avoid the bad stuff and get on track to repair my body, I always go to the supermarket and buy an avocado, tomato and a few slices of chicken/ham at the deli during break from my work. Am I doing something right here?
Now I understand why it is so hard to lose weight! One has to have an iron will and complete understanding of how your body works to be able to be in control of your weight. Not easy!
I am lucky to find your videos since I understand about food and body greater than before and I changed my lifestyle and slowly but surely I see the good results of myself
Thank you, Dr Ekberg. This is fantastic information you have presented. I follow all your presentations and have learned a lot about how to be a health champion. Your presentations are great lectures too. I wonder whether you could introduce a master health course 🤗
So clear. This is the best info out there explaining this set point and what to do. I’ve lost 125 lbs during the last 13 months on IF and keto but am now stuck with 80 more to go. I will try the longer fasts.
You explain things so well, you are really talented! Thank you so much for teaching me about my body and how to improve my health. I watch your videos daily👍
This was the BEST explanation of metabolism I have ever heard as well as tips on how to change it! I will definitely be sharing this with my friends! Thank you very much!
Thank you for your amazing and informative videos. How do you know how many calories you should be eating? If you do IF, do you try and eat all the calories at once? ie on omad? If you do EOD fast, do you eat two days worth of calories at once? I am confused about this. Thanks😊
I agree the body is intelligent and most medical doctors just don't understand that and treat symptoms. Apply what I learned from this youtube channel has gotten me off the bad foods and losing weight but still eating around 3K calories a day. I learned by decreasing my eating during the day down to a small 4 hour window has helped me a lot vs cutting calories with over 35 pounds lost this year so far. I only eat foods that works with the body. Never need to diet and I eat foods that I enjoy that I make in my own kitchen.
Nice video! During the University years, when it was the exam time, some of my colleagues were losing weight, and some of them were gaining weight. Why? It was the same stress period!
@@drekberg so in the end the genetic factor plays a huge role... I heard some people have a "special " gene that seems to make them lose weight harder....
When I was in the army, I never did have snacks. Just the regular three meals a day and I lost 10 kilos during the first month due to the excercises. Most of the other guys bought snacks when ever they could. And, as a consequence they did either not lose weight or gained more! Moreover, they spent their money while I got nice savings. Then, during the university time, some studied more while others enjoyed the "free" time. The first graduated quickly with good grades, while the others spent more time with less good results. Unfortunately, I belonged to the latter group of pupils. 🤥
Dr. E, this the very best explanation I have ever heard!! And i have watched many many videos trying to explain this complicated concept. I hope people follow your advice before it is too late.
Dear Dr. Ekberg, Thank you for taking the time to explain these valuable information. Is there a way to get over seasonal depression? That is when I gain additional weight. I admire what you are doing to people and for the care you are offering them.
Your videos are always so fascinating, Dr. Ekberg. Years ago,, I remember complaining that I could gain weight on 1000 calories. Fortunately I was very active and naturally was not eating breakfasts. You've mentioned the 'why' of that in other videos but this one was a reminder again of 'back then'. I'm keto since 1 year and 3 months,, feel good about longer fasts (my max was 36 hours) and understanding the hows and whys of that. You always explain your subject matter best and in patient, detailed clarity. What a great pity that your videos are not in major languages. I have international friends that I would love to send your links to. I think Spanish would be a priority, French, German, Russian...at least as far as the Euro languages are concerned.

Good luck!! You got this!!!
No sugar either!!!
Dr E, I think you just might be saving my partner's health, one video at a time! His recent HbA1c level has him at pre-diabetes level. The advice from the doctor was to cut down on refined sugar, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, lots of wholegrains, low fat everything, low salt - you know the score! I tried to tell him what a recipe for disaster this approach would be, but his attitude was ' If my doctor and the UK diabetes association say it's right, it must be right '. So I made a playlist of videos, mostly yours and some of Dr Berg and Dr Fung, and just happened to have them playing on the tv when he came home from work just over a week ago. We watched them while we ate our steak and salad. I kept asking if he wanted to turn them off, but he was riveted! He's been low carb for a week (apart from some beer and bread at the weekend) and his belly fat is disappearing rapidly. He's even doing some 16:8 fasts. I can't thank you enough for all the effort and research you put into your videos 😊
Thank you Noodle p for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy for you and your partner. What great results! Keep it up! Please let all of us know what his HbA1c is in 3 months. I have a video on how long it will take to lower the A1c numbers. I hope he watches it and feels more motivated to get healthy.
@@drekberg interestingly they didn't explain what the test actually measures and the letter he received with the results said that he should be re-tested in year! I've told him he has to insist on being tested again in 3 months. I'll try and remember to update here.
@@noodlep2547 yes, we diabetics I'm a type one, we need to check our A1C every 3 months.
My a1c is 5.1% like a non diabetic person because I follow a ketogenic lifestyle, it's been always between 5.3 and 5% for almost a year. And I don't need much insulin only injecting once a day. Before i was injecting 6 times a day
Beat Diabetes is another great resource. Many testimonies of
People who have used low carb and their A1C results. Before and after going low carb.
@@janesvoboda5564 yes. I've also read Dr. Jason Fung books. And with dr. Ekberg videos I've learned so much. In the place I am right now I feel amazing. And for being a type one diabetic with no overweight and with an A1C of a non diabetic person I think I'm doing great!
This is so helpful. I have under active thyroid and no gall bladder and have fought and lost the battle with weight for 30 years. This is the first time I feel well fed and cared for by this information. I have now lost 26lbs. Here's to success this time
I am doing all the things he suggests at the end of the video for 2 weeks now: keto diet, intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, slow exercising. I am losing weight in a healthy way, I am less tired after work, my allergy got a lot better (1 pill a week instead of every day) and I have never felt better!
You and the other BERG explains everything so clearly thank you sir appreciate you very great information
I love he say everybody is not the same ,learn your own body with guide lines.
This has to be the BEST and EASIEST to understand explanation of metabolism I have ever heard (in 3 years of 4 hours a day youtubes on diet/health). Thank you!!!!
Praying helps a lot with stress
I wrote down all 10 steps and will incorporate them. I've been on keto 2 and a half years, lost 65 lbs and I'm 50 years old. Stopped losing weight and I don't know why.
I fined your Chanel recently and all I am thinking is wow. What was I doing to my body for last 20 years. Sad I didn't find your Chanel sooner. Thank you for opening my eyes
This is so important what he’s saying about the body’s set point. If you have a lot of excess weight, you may find that it’s easy to lose weight until you get to your body’s set point, but difficult to lose weight once you do. I would just encourage you to stick with it because you’ll likely eventually breakthrough if you’re doing intermittent fasting and a healthy non-inflammatory (and even inflammatory triggers can vary from person to person) low carb diet. I’ve found that it’s critical to walk within that fasted state once the metabolic switch has taken place.
So glad I found your channel - so much easier to change things when you understand why things happen.
all that info for FREE? wow!!!! thanks Dr. Ekberg
BONUS---- IM STARTING 'IF' NOW....
Amazing how beneficial this information is to a people stuck on a sugar train. Through Dr. Eckberg's videos, I have become more educated about my body, my lab results and food. After losing 25 lbs going from 194 to 169 in six months, my doctor was still telling me I needed to exercise and eat more healthy. I didn't understand then, but I know now that I was Insulin Resistant. These 10 items mentioned in this video have transformed my life and helped me get off the sugar train.
you are awesome at explaining how the body functions and does what it does .
Hello- your lectures are magnificent. I have lost 7kg in 7weeks. Greetings from Europe. Thank you.
This man is a life saver.he has helped me heal my body thank you and keep up the good work
A "life saver"wow! have you not read the new medical research study that pinpoints "increased mortality" linked to the ketogenic diet? I wouldn't call him a "life saver" maybe Dr death.
Dr. Ekberg I just want to say you have been such a great teacher and role model and wanted to say thanks. In Dec 2019 I went in for my yearly physical and my doctor said I was pre diabetic. My count was 6.5 and weight was 240. I refused an nutritionist and said I would change. Did some research and found you videos and went to work. Had three month check-up and dropped 20# and 14 points on my sugar to a 5.0 and now normal. So thanks and keep the videos coming. Rick
Hello doc. Sten. How do you know if your body has adapted to burning fat?
Wow...Thank you Sr.. and God bless you.
AlleluYah!!!! You are the first person who finally said about "Biggest losers" (and it is me...) and about changing the set point of the metabolism! I came to this conclusion by myself and reading a lot about human metabolism... Five years ago i went down from 220 lbs (I'm 5'4" and then I was 49) to 123 lbs (by doing water fasting from 3 days to 21 days during 15 months and do very intensive exercise program)! I was so exited, energetic and happy, but when I've stopped fasting and doing very intensive exercises my weight has started to get back with unbelievable speed!!! And I was eating very little!!! It broke me down very badly... I knew, I could force myself to do anything, but I wanted to live, not to fight something all the time! I've started to read about our metabolism. And I realized one thing: all this information about getting out of the water fast, recommended to drink freshly made fruit/vegetable juices every 2-3 hours, is totally wrong and dangerous, because it is putting your freshly cleaned body into the insulin resistance immediately (because of the sugar in all those fruits) ! I've notice, that after doing this juices for 3-7 days after fasting, I felt such crazy starvation, that I couldn't control it!!! But at that point I had no clue about insulin resistance and only now I understood how harmful was those juices to me and how wrong was all those people who suggested this way to get out of the fast!!! I've stopped doing this, but then I realize about the reset of my "system"... I'm still looking how to do it after fasting and/or how long it will take to do... I'm guessing, that it is very unique way for each person, but this your video has given to me a lot of information! Thank you so much! I'm still trying to find the way how to reset my metabolism after water fast, which I'm planning to do again soon, because this is unbelievable great and fast way to put your life together and be energetic and healthy till the rest of it! Can you give any suggestions, please?.. Best regards! Maria
Dr Ekberg you’re a God sent blessing to all of us who were fortunate enough to discover your channel. Ever since I’ve started following you and your knowledge of healthy eating I feel much better and lots of my health issues have been declining. I used to try all the old ways of eating healthy which I know now that it really wasn’t healthy and it wasn’t improving my health at all diets such as low fat/ no fat mod carbs and proteins and the only bad carbs were eating too much of cookies and candies were bad carbs. We all were thought wrong. That’s why no body could stick to those diets. Lose a few pounds and back to the original wt and bigger. You’re a life changing dr. Thank you
Thank you. So very educational. This knowledge should be taught in schools so that children can better understand what is going on with their bodies and protect themselves from the onslaught of processed diets. I showed my 16 year old the video and he was riveted. As a prediabetic (emotional stress induced), I have learned to monitor my glucose. He is now encouraged to monitor his and is actively encouraged to take responsibility of his food choices, as it became clear for him to see too, how he was on his way to become diabetic, if he continued to eat the foods he enjoyed the most (Macdonalds, chocolates, cookies etc with no vegetables). I'm so happy. So once again, thank you for enlightening me, my son and many others who are benefiting from your guidance and knowledge :)
I'm getting back into your helpful videos, I was 220lbs now I'm 170 lbs height5'8" and still lchf. Keeping up with your videos helps me to stay on track. If I slip and get on the carbs, bang, I can put on a 3 lbs in a couple days.
Thanks for your help.
Amazing video!!! This explains so well why diets don't work! You provide the solutions to the problem. Sadly, the body positive movement tells us to give up and be happy being fat bc diets don't work instead of fixing the broken metabolism and getting healthy. Sad. Thank you!!
Dr Ekberg, this is probably the most important video you've made! The key is the "set point".
Once we fix the body's correct set point,
then maintaining the right weight becomes effortlessly automatic.
Maybe you should reintroduce and revive this topic in a new video. Fixing the body's setpoint is KEY.
Thank you so much for the great health advice.
Warm greetings from Italy 🍀💕☀️
This IS the MOST Important video for anyone interested in this subject to watch... without this understanding they are very unlikely to meet their long term goals... you MUST understand what it is you are doing & where you are trying to get to, before you can obtain your goal... less than 1/2 hr will save lives & add better quality to lives if people take the time to watch this important video... thanks Dr. appreciate you
Thank you for all your teaching Dr Stern. My husband & I are watching your videos everyday & learned a lot from you in losing the proper way. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. God bless you more!
Your such an excellent teacher. I’m able to understand so much about metabolism and other health issues because your method of providing clarity is amazing. Thank you so very, very much!
You have a way of simplifying concepts so that an average person can easily understand. Great work
Great content- thank you Dr Ekberg ! This is really helpful.
Thank you Anna Graf. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
The best explanation _ever_ on this subject... I am sharing this video with everyone! Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Thanks Doc, it always worth it watching your channel. Some people say intermittent fasting breaks metabolism but your channel explains things in detail. Thank you
I have been on a low calorie/low fat diet for the past 4 years,running 4 km every week day and 10km every weekend day 😢 I haven't gained back the weight but I also kept reducing the calorie intake very often. I used to eat 3 times a day(low calorie meals) + 3 snacks of bananas 😢 I did everything you say that shouldnt be done 😁 I am going to change thanks to your advice 🙏🏻 I just finished 72h water fasting and will start to mix the different intermitten techniques
The BEST video yet for me!! I’m very slow weight loss. im insulin resistant, keto, carnivore. Started keto 8 months ago, lost 65 pounds. Ketones way down every morning. I think that is why my weightloss is so slow.. will the ketones you buy help me? I’m very strick keto OMAD and fasting 24 hrs when I eat. The last 2 weeks I’ve fasted 72hrs and 92hrs. Ketones still low every morning...
Great Program ! Thank you for all the motivation!!
It’s extremely helpful I have lost 18 lbs and have stayed this healthy lifestyle for one year - finally something that really works - and I don’t crave sugar or feel too hungry
Thank you so much doctor . You explain every words are very clearly . 💐
You have changed me and my husband life, millions thx to your informative sessions 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍 You’re one of the best teacher ever.
My body is stuck at 60-63 kg. No matter how many things I have tried, it never changed 😭😭😭 any solution to this please. I am fasting today again and will continue till next for 40 days... I will update you about my progress 🙏
Hi Dr. Im tired of eating junk food from the streets like McDonalds. To avoid the bad stuff and get on track to repair my body, I always go to the supermarket and buy an avocado, tomato and a few slices of chicken/ham at the deli during break from my work. Am I doing something right here?
Bingo! Unlocking metabolism of mine... 😍😍😍 A big thanks Doc Sten!
Thank you so much, this is what i've been looking for all this time
Dr. Ekberg is my most trusted you tuber. Always making life-saving well organized videos.
Easily one of my favorite videos of yours. Very well organized and prepared. Laid out clear and concise.
Thank you Dr Ekberg. Please keep teaching.. you are very needed
Excellent video, complex concepts were very simply explained.
Dr thanks so much change my life
your teaching is so so so amazing for me …. thank you will nevere be enough Dr Sten … THANK YOU !
Excellent explanation again Dr. Ekberg !!
Great you explain the in's and out's, it would be great to keep it short and clear.
Super insight ! I am on the way! 9kgs lost and falling. I am not often even that hungry 💪😁
Now I understand why it is so hard to lose weight! One has to have an iron will and complete understanding of how your body works to be able to be in control of your weight. Not easy!
I find the more I understand something, the more I learn, the easier it becomes...and less 'willpower' is needed.
Incredible!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I am lucky to find your videos since I understand about food and body greater than before and I changed my lifestyle and slowly but surely I see the good results of myself
Thanx a lot for very useful tips Doctor!
Thank you, Dr Ekberg. This is fantastic information you have presented. I follow all your presentations and have learned a lot about how to be a health champion. Your presentations are great lectures too. I wonder whether you could introduce a master health course 🤗
Very informative. Thanks Dr. Ekberg!
So clear. This is the best info out there explaining this set point and what to do. I’ve lost 125 lbs during the last 13 months on IF and keto but am now stuck with 80 more to go. I will try the longer fasts.
And I love it when he refers to us as health champions!
Yes very Interesting it makes sense. Thanks for this breakdown.
Hi. You've just found the best health UA-cam channel on planet earth. Have a nice day.
You explain things so well, you are really talented! Thank you so much for teaching me about my body and how to improve my health. I watch your videos daily👍
This was the BEST explanation of metabolism I have ever heard as well as tips on how to change it! I will definitely be sharing this with my friends! Thank you very much!
I don't know how much I can appreciate you..........may the almighty God bless you abundantly.......i now know the reasons to why I don't chop weight.
Very good .. thank you Dr. Sten
Great intelligent information. Many thanks 😁
Thank you for your amazing and informative videos. How do you know how many calories you should be eating? If you do IF, do you try and eat all the calories at once? ie on omad? If you do EOD fast, do you eat two days worth of calories at once? I am confused about this. Thanks😊
Thank you so much Dr Sten , you are the best teacher
Hi Dr. Ekberg. Thanks so much for the video . For me, green tea /Matcha made me to lose a lot of weight as well.
That is great May Far. So glad you found something that works for you.
Really appreciate everything you do !!
brilliant, as always, Dr Ekberg!
I agree the body is intelligent and most medical doctors just don't understand that and treat symptoms. Apply what I learned from this youtube channel has gotten me off the bad foods and losing weight but still eating around 3K calories a day. I learned by decreasing my eating during the day down to a small 4 hour window has helped me a lot vs cutting calories with over 35 pounds lost this year so far. I only eat foods that works with the body. Never need to diet and I eat foods that I enjoy that I make in my own kitchen.
Thank you David Bloyd.
Thanks Dr Sten Ekberg , We love you
Thank you Doctor, I finally understand my problem! You are fantastic! :)
Nice video! During the University years, when it was the exam time, some of my colleagues were losing weight, and some of them were gaining weight. Why? It was the same stress period!
Stress act differently on different persons! Some overeat under stress n some eat poorly!
Thank you mihaela marcu. @Sharda Jadhav has a great answer. Also there are tremendous genetic differences.
@@drekberg so in the end the genetic factor plays a huge role...
I heard some people have a "special " gene that seems to make them lose weight harder....
When I was in the army, I never did have snacks. Just the regular three meals a day and I lost 10 kilos during the first month due to the excercises. Most of the other guys bought snacks when ever they could. And, as a consequence they did either not lose weight or gained more! Moreover, they spent their money while I got nice savings.
Then, during the university time, some studied more while others enjoyed the "free" time. The first graduated quickly with good grades, while the others spent more time with less good results. Unfortunately, I belonged to the latter group of pupils. 🤥
I used to eat almost all the time before exams, because of trying to catch up too hard.
Dr. E, this the very best explanation I have ever heard!! And i have watched many many videos trying to explain this complicated concept. I hope people follow your advice before it is too late.
A well-balanced perspective of the ups and downs of metabolism👌
Dear Dr. Ekberg,
Thank you for taking the time to explain these valuable information. Is there a way to get over seasonal depression? That is when I gain additional weight.
I admire what you are doing to people and for the care you are offering them.
Danke für die wunderschönen Videos
Your videos are always so fascinating, Dr. Ekberg. Years ago,, I remember complaining that I could gain weight on 1000 calories. Fortunately I was very active and naturally was not eating breakfasts. You've mentioned the 'why' of that in other videos but this one was a reminder again of 'back then'. I'm keto since 1 year and 3 months,, feel good about longer fasts (my max was 36 hours) and understanding the hows and whys of that. You always explain your subject matter best and in patient, detailed clarity. What a great pity that your videos are not in major languages. I have international friends that I would love to send your links to. I think Spanish would be a priority, French, German, Russian...at least as far as the Euro languages are concerned.
Thank you so much. It is a great service to humanity. I am grateful you
