I always get alot out of your videos....but this one really resonated with me.
I take pills in the morning but I have to be careful of what I eat with them or.....once I eat....I will lose control and begin eating everything.
Liked. All good except that toxicity causes mutagenesis - cancer. If accurate, I'd love to read some studies. 17-20% has a hereditary component that can be screed by genetic testing from Color Genomics for example. Their genetic counselors are useless but free. Also, cancer may be caught early with Grail's Galleri blood draw cancer screen.
Any advice for someone with a job that demands high physical output all morning? After an hour of work id start feeling awful if i skipped b fast. Maybe a hard reset would change my system?
Please tell me what to do about thyroid cancer having surgery on aug 26. What should I do or eat or drink
Dr Ekberg- Thank you for these videos! I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere... are extended fasts safe for postmenopausal women (who tend to need more calcium, vitamins and minerals on a daily basis)? Thanks in advance.
I watched a lot of Dr. Ekberg’s videos last year. I started eating 2 meals a day. It changed my life. I lost 20 pounds in 6 months without cutting calories or increasing exercises. I feel more energetic and even my mind works better! I’m 70 years old and I am so grateful for Dr. Ekberg’s informative, well explained videos!
I watch Dr Eric Berg more often than Dr Ekberg, but they generally promote the same principles. I'm 58 and I started keto with intermittent fasting nearly a year ago and have had similar results to yourself.................
I'm in my early fourties. Taking Dr. Berg and Dr. Ekberg's advices made me feel like I am teenager in the end. I do 3 days per week & I'm not going to stop fasting.
@@spongebobgrumpypants6862 Dr. Berg brushes over issues while Dr. Stenberg goes into the finest detail of every issue in such a way that everyone can understand.
Yes, I am doing the same type of thing, meaning 2 meals a day.
16 hours of fasting, from 8 pm to noon the following day. At noon, a proper lunch, then at 7 pm a proper dinner. Between these, no eating.
@@spongebobgrumpypants6862 Yes, I think they both adhere to the same ideas.
I can vouch for this! I was lucky as a child in that my parents never forced me to eat the way that my friends parents forced them! I never could eat in the mornings before school and I wasn’t forced to, thank goodness. I only eat when I am hungry which is once or twice a day! My whole life I have eaten this way (not a snacker either) and although people believed I was too thin I am now 62 and have not seen a doctor in 30 yrs and never have weighed over 115lbs- except during pregnancies. Friends ask what my “secret” is to staying healthy and “thin” I never knew I had a “secret” until listening to this😊 I think we push food on children telling them they must eat 3 meals and snacks etc... that is where the (health) troubles begin.
Thank You gsand07. Exactly. We should be more concerned with the quality of food the kids eat than how much and how often. Kids have infinite intelligence built into their bodies as well. 😄
I spent my life trying to GAIN weight! But now as I've been doing IF and some keto to fight diabetes, I've lost 22, down to 112 pounds. 5 ' 5"
bravo 🙌
@@linsteele1820 I'm the exactly the same..I used to force myself to eat even no I wasnt hungry to put on weight...I never realized the damage I was doing...I've been do IM for 6 weeks (18/6) and I'm now off my high blood pressure medication that I have been taking for over 10 years....I will be doin IM for ever
@@drekberg I most whole heartedly agree!😊
My doctor was going to put me on Meformin 4 months ago. My A1C was 6.8 back in April. Just by following Dr Ekberg's recommendations for what not to eat and intermittent fasting, i've dropped 25 lbs and my A1C went from 6.8 to 5.8. in 3 months. And YES, i started spending less money on groceries. I shop the perimeter at the the store and only buy what I need.
I'm getting leaner, and my wallet is getting FATTER. I like that trend.
👍😉
I wish I could get my BG and BP to drop. I’ve lost 17lbs in 30days but my BG and BP are still high. 😕
@@talk3194 only way to do that cut out all food that turns into sugar,, do intermintent fasting with cutting break fast
This channel should be a mandatory requirement for the public education system in every public school in the United States of America! @usedgov
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, you have changed my life in profound ways. I make an honest effort to share the knowledge from your UA-cam channel. Americans have been victimized by the modern agricultural consumer product market. I learned how to eat properly at age 40 listening to the priceless advice on this channel. Cannot thank Dr. Ekberg enough for changing my life. I am a retired US military member, and my body has seen some hard use over the years. The medical and dietary advice from Dr. Ekberg has increased my quality of life by orders of magnitude!
I weigh 147lbs (66.6 kilos) @69" (175.2 CM), I was once 260lbs (117.9 kilos) and slowly dying. Listen to every word this man says and let food be thy medicine!

Thank You Stormy Mangham so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. If we keep learning and keep sharing and create a new movement of health and a common sense understanding of the body, hopefully we can spread the message to a majority of the world and reduce the massive, needless suffering. 🙏 🏆 😄
I watch it from Romania, for 3 years now...
Why is it that so many people when they discover uncommon wisdom, they always believe that it should be a “mandatory” part of the curriculum used in the public education system? Don’t you realize that’s how so much foolishness ends up in public education to begin with? Think about it!
@@diddy103177 Most of this country is type 2 diabetic and Alzheimer's rates are on a steep rise. It's common knowledge that affluent countries are subject to sub standard food products and health is suffering as a result (namely America). I find it incredibly difficult to find quality food products, especially in rural parts of the country. I also see grossly obese minors more than I have in my entire life (I'm 41 years old). Even in the military where physical performance is a metric for success, quality food options are few and far between. I say it should be mandatory because I want to see prosperous, healthy children and adults in this country. I want American children to learn how to eat properly when they are young so they don't fall victim to this atrocious agricultural industry and die unhealthy, miserable, senile and overweight.
Does that answer your question, or are you just trolling?
The Dr. is a former Olympian that truly cares about his health and well being. I am a retired department of defense employee that genuinely cares about mine. After learning to eat properly in my late 30's I would like to share the knowledge with the younger population because no one was there to tell me I was killing myself for the last 35-40 years of my life.
I think the real problem is deep pocket commercial advertising and impressionable minds. Let's teach them correctly the first time from now on. 🥑
@@diddy103177 Don't lump me in with the masses. I take it as a passive aggressive insult. The validity of Dr. Ekberg's knowledge regarding diet and health are irrefutable. If you had a brain cell firing, you might understand that. If you have not witnessed the decline of human health in the world's affluent countries then you are simply blind or are part of the problem. I want to see healthy intelligent people, right now I see the exact opposite with the rare exception of people like Dr. Ekberg attempting to promote positive change. He deserves credit and His voice should be heard. Troll... 👹
The striking features of Dr. Ekberg is the clarity of presentation, the pace of his presentation and power of simplicity with which facts are presented. The lecture today is a hall of how subject presentations should be done. Take a bow Dr. Ekberg.
Thus the truth about Dr. Ekberg you can say that again
Well said!, Srinivas! The Power of Simplicity! He's got through the mass of complex, false data and got down to the simplicity the underlying causes. What he's done can't be overstated. And then he puts it across so clearly - probably the most reliable indicator that someone knows what they are talking about! 🙂
Agreed! I could literally listen to him talk forever. And the content is brilliantly presented.
Looking at my parents in theri late 70 and early 80's I'm incredibly thankful that they've kept themselves in good shape with exercise and healthy diet and healthy habits. It's such a blessing to have them around in good health and not in pain or in bed or hospital. I think we as parents owe this to our children as well. To have the peace of mind about the elderly parents and not becoming a burden for them. I pray to God to keep me in good health or to take me as soon as I'm about to become a burden. Please everyone try to keep yourself in good health for your sake and for your loved ones sake
Great comment 👍🏼
Look forward to every video! You have kept motivated for over a year! Now OMAD , never hungry, energy thru the roof at age 63! Thank you good doctor...you have been a god-send in my life!! Reversed T2D triglycerides down from 1386 to 200, off all meds except thyroid but that decreased from .325 mcg to .25 ! No hbp any longer. Labs best in 30 yrs!
Thank you Maria ASh for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. The triglycerides (200) indicate that you have a little bit of insulin resistance left to undo. If you keep going they will probably end up below 100. Congratulations. Keep it up! 😄
@@drekberg Yes on the triglycerides but I am thrilled how far they have come down. My A1c I am also working to get lower than 5.1 ...would love see it in the fours . Have more wt to lose to my goal ..about 30 more lbs and I've plateau ed for 3 months . Think I'm going to have to give up the hwc. But I feel so darn good and better than I have in past 20 yrs. Dr. Eckberg....I do believe you saved my life and I am eternally grateful for the knowledge you share!!!
Would you mind telling us what you eat for your one meal a day? Thx.
@@kathrynjanzen5618 I eat mostly beef. Steak, hamburger. Also eat bacon and eggs. Twice a week I will have salmon. Three times a week I may add broccoli, brussel sprouts, or green beans. I always use lots of butter, occasionally use cream cheese sour cream or another type of hard cheese. I do not count macros, I'm too lazy LOL. I eat until I'm comfortably stuffed. My only treat is using heavy whipping cream in my coffee in the mornings. I drink black coffee and water all through the day while it work.
@@marianne1959 thankyou. That is close to how I eat except I am at 2 meals a day still. I would like to get to one.
I'm 32 years old and started IF last year, I think it's a great way to find out what your body is deprived of in terms of nutrients but I also tapped into a whole new reservoir of energy, focus, and cognitive function. I once went 30 hours and into my 25th hour, I played a 90 minute football match and I kid you not I felt amazing. I once met a guy who went 72 hours and played a match, his energy level seemed great. It's thanks to people like Dr. Ekberg who put up such amazing content. I will also add by doing IF properly, i see people bashing IF saying it drains their energy and makes them feel weaker. Then they explain their diet and there lies the real answer.
Thank you Samboventures for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I work security jobs back to back on the weekends and I learned I’m way more alert when I fast through those 4 days Friday-Monday. And I need less sleep it’s insane how much energy I have and how alert I am.
I just went 72 hours and felt great BUT if you are already thin, and eat a whole food diet, it is less necessary. Honestly, I lost a little too much weight and got a bit weak. I was mostly plant based. I since added some more meats and work out a little less and feel good again. You really have to listen to your body like he says. I routinely do easy 18:6 water fasts w/2MAD. No worries there.
Are you Keto, Vegan, Carnie?
@@MOAB-UT i do 18/6 daily, a year already. First few months I was losing weight in a scary way, no matter what I eat and how much I eat during eating window. But after 6 months my weight start getting stable with same scale reading in the morning. I am lightly thin, or underweight but very active and healthy. To keep my weight stable I added some healthy carbs in my diet and drink full milk (grass fed organic pasture raised) one glass mix pure cacao at dinner. Yogurt protein A2, full fat cottage cheese (again opt for organic grassfed pasture raised ) are very nutritious and help building muscles. I got good results after a couple months daily consumption. Try to see if work for you
I tried carnivore, Keto, these diets make me uncomfortable and not feeling right, and could be dangerous for some people. Mediterranean is a better choice for me. Everyone is different I guess.
@@Hippy2021 Thanks but IMHO, I don't think your diet is very good at all. I get you lost weight and feel good and all but for me, it is far too much dairy (any dairy is too much) and not enough macro nutrients, organ meats (liver) or fiber. Eggs should be Pastured and soft boiled 4 minutes for max nutrition.
18/6 probably should not be a daily thing either. 3'ish days a week is good. Do you work out much? I do. If I ate like you I would have no energy. It is not winning if you eat very little, fast but are sedentary. We were born to move. I run, lift and get after it. I need fuel. Still my BMI is 20. My BP is 99/66 and bloodwork is excellent and I have plenty of energy.
Regardless, thanks for sharing. I am not trying to be critical- but wanted to give you some things to consider. Sometimes deficiencies do not show up for years. Don't trust me- consult with some experts. I think they will tell you the same. You are doing many things right but you will want to bump up high quality proteins and your macro/micro's. Being THIN is not an indicator of good health. See TOFI and MHO. Your numbers and energy are far better indicators.
The knowledge that fasting is a positive thing which will not hurt you is profound. I have been doing 18/6 IF most days for the last 9 months and also do 42 hour fasts once or twice per month. I just decided to take a couple of days off eating so am on hour 45 right now. I have also eliminated alcohol, added sugar and most processed foods. My A1C has reduced from 6.1 to 5.0, I have lost 70 LB's and all other biomarkers have improved significantly. I have lost weight before being very disciplined using calorie restriction and exercise (the hard way) but I have never felt the way I do now so it would always come back. Now I actually desire being active and to not eat like garbage. I know that I will always have fasting as a tool to keep me where I need to be and I will never go back to where I was. Thank you for all of the great video's and lessons you share!!
Thank you Royce for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I stopped snacking, eating sugar & processed foods and started IF with a low carb diet on June 12th of this year. I’ve lost 25 pounds and I’m within 10 pounds of my ideal weight. My goal isn’t about weight loss, it’s about improving my overall metabolic health. I don’t think I could have done it without watching, and learning from, your videos. I’m eager to see results from my blood work coming up in September. Thanks again! BTW, I’m 66 years old…it’s never too late!
Thanks! Through your guidance, my husband and I have reached our goal weight. You’re our go-to for information on maintaining our good health and you keep it simple! Thanks Sten
Thank You Barbara Phillips so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I have hypothyroidism have lost weight only to gain it back. Walk daily 4.5 miles. Can't lose more than one pound this time. My stomach upper is swollen and hard. My doctor just told me to use Miralax . That has not helped. I think I will just fast for 40 days and see if that turns me around.
You have an extra ordinary power of narration. Strong, sharp points. Thank you doc
Thank You Celebrating Life with Muthu. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Great video Dr., I am still fasting it's been over 2 years now. I have lost 105lbs of fat but not losing anymore weight, so just doing it for health benefits now.
When I used to have breakfast in the morning, I will be hungry 3 hours later. I had started having one meal a day (OMAD) 4 months ago and had gone from 84kg to 78kg (and I am only 171cm tall) and I don't feel hungry until I have arrived home from work. This had also saved some time and money too.
So simple and logical; completely the opposite of what we've been told for decades.
I do OMD, keto, I look forward to making dinner with the wife. I never get hungry. Thanks doc!!
Hi doctor it’s me again! Haven’t written been so busy. God bless u!That is so true about fasting,so true! I have a sis in the Lord at my church. They said she had cancer. In our church we do the 3-5 days fasting 3times a year. Well she does the fasting with all those who want to. We never force. We tell them how healthy it is for our body,but never knew all u have taught n said on ur videos. Wow!Omgosh! That is so awesome! Especially when we heard u say it. Her cancer never grew! Praise God! N thank u for all the info u teach us n bless us with! I tell everybody I come in contact with about u. God put’s the right people in our path to help us. U were it in our path by God! Be healthy,strong n vigorous,n live long!
My family doesn't really understand why my husband and I do fasting. I think this is such a good summary that I will send it to them! Thanks very much.
I lost 80 pounds 18 months ago, it took six months. If i had to say or pick one thing that changed my thoughts on food and diet was ^ this guy ^ ............ Sten is a genius and his presentation is fantastic. It is ok to be hungry ! I am 57 years old, I weigh what I did when I joined the USMC in 1983, 169lbs !
Congratulations!
That is rapid weight loss. Be careful about your gallbladder- lost mine doing the same. Lost less over longer period- docs later told me...yeah, don't do that. Lesson learned. Best to go slow and steady.
Started watching Dr Berg's and Dr Ekberg's vids on fasting and keto 2 months ago. I've dropped 12kg and I feel great. Many thanks Dr E!
Yes, they are both excellent.
@@antonboludo8886 what a coincidence. Today I went to download Dr Berg's free course and I had to sign up and do all these different things so I backed out of his website I was not happy about his switch and bait that's the way I saw it anyway I'll stick with Dr Ekberg
@@deadmanswife3625 Better to choose one.
Dr. Ekberg is a Decathlete, after all.
@@antonboludo8886 yes
I love Dr. Berg and Ekberg💞💞💞
All you said doctor is 100% true. Hunger Is a habit...I used to feel hungry and tired every 4 hours even though I am in a sedintary lifstyle but now after I choose and practise intermittant fasting it become a routine for me to eat one big meal every 24 hours with a 48 hours fast once or twice every month and my energy level is much better than before....this last video motivated me to go for the 72 hours fast very soon.
Thank you doctor for enlighting us with your knowldge.
Thank you Nabil H.. 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. 😄
practiCe
@@drekberg understanding the WHYS do make a difference, thank you so much❤️❤️
Dr. Ekberg speaks the truth. I am almost at a 20 pound weight loss in just two months. My progress is steady and I haven't felt sick at any time. Decreasing the frequency of eating to only once a day has helped me to lose weight and enjoy richer and more satisfying foods when I do eat. I love this OMAD diet! I don't feel deprived at all and believe it or not I still get full really fast even eating only once a day. It does save a lot of time and energy not having to worry about preparing meals three times a day. I really hope that Dr. Ekberg considers writing a book because he is truly saving lives with this information.
Wow, just WOW! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for these incredibly helpful videos. I've been working up to 18 hours and this video is so inspiring. I'm goning to prepare my family first and then try to do more fasting. 24 hours first and then work my way up to 3-5 days. Thank you for such clear and concise information.
You gotta love it: "Watch your weight",....."OK, I'm watching it". Cracked me up. Have you thought about stand up? Dr. Ekberg, you have no idea how much you have helped my wife and me. Three years of watching your vids and we both believe you added a few years. Thanks.
Thank you Wilhelm Taylor. I'm happy you caught that and I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for sharing your success and helping inspire others. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I've been following your advice now for several months and I'm amazed, as is my doctor, with the results. I am totally off the diabetes medication and weight is slowing dropping. I am currently doing a month of OMAD and it is amazing how wonderful I feel. Thank you, so much, for sharing this information via UA-cam. There is no way a doctor in my life would have told me all that you have revealed here! Again, thank you!!
Nancy, best name in the world !!!! ♥
Most docs know less than your dog groomer about nutrition- facts.
congras , God Bless You
Wow! Great video. I've been doing Dr. Ekberg's healthy keto with Intermittent fasting for 7 weeks now. It's everything he says it is. Life is easier eating healthy in a 6-hour window and I'm back to my preferred healthy weight. Thank you Dr. Ekberg 😊.
Thank you! Would you educate us on the topic of improving circulation in the lower extremities please?
My goodness, it couldn't have been explained more plainly. This is one video that needs to be shared with people we care for.
Dr. Sten...you have given an additional lease of life to many viewers with your valuable advice time and again.. Thanks so much
So encouraging to me! This video came at the right time that I’m on 36hours fasting! I’m going to take it to 48+ and see how it goes.
Thanks so much dr.Sten E. for your wonderful teachings and encouragement 😇🙏🏼
If going 48 hours you might as well extend it to 56-60 hours. Simply start your fast after an evening meal. 48 hours later it's time for another evening meal. Instead go to bed and eat in the morning. 👍
You are welcome Dorothy Oputa. Thank you for watching. 😄
@@njsongwriter I’ve done 72 and continued with 18:6, 19:5, 20:4 and OMAD
Those helped manage my menopause life tremendously…..
@@dorothyoputa7627 I've done numerous longer fasts since I first discovered low carb/keto/carnivore a few years ago, and though I've fasted as long as 9 days, I found that 3 days (72 hours) was the best balance of length, ease of fasting and benefit, in my opinion. I didn't really notice any additional benefit to the longer fasts. And going longer can start to wear on your nerves, whereas 3 days seems more doable mentally.
Dr Sten, thank-you for putting it all together so cohesively and easy to understand with another life saving video.
I noticed your channel in spring this year. You grabbed my attention by saying, 'It's not your fault!'. That was so good to hear. I have cut out sugar, wheat products and breakfast, and I have greatly reduced carbohydrates. I have increased healthy fats and the quality of ingredients in my home cooking. I have spent 20 minutes on every sunny day this summer, swimming outdoors. I have just done one 36 hr fast and plan to continue with longer fasts, and I have begun breathing exercises for stress. Your advice is good. I have dropped a dress size and my aches have improved enormously. I am hopeful now about being able to balance my thyroid hormones naturally and stop taking medication, so I am going to have another blood test and consult my doctor. I feel confident that it can be done. I think that you should be nominated for an award, as another viewer suggested. I'll be spreading the word where I can.
I totally agree with you !! I am following as much as I can your advices !!
so glad i found this channel, this is the kind of in-depth, scientifically backed nutrition information i've been looking for.
Never get tired of listening to you dear Dr Ekberg

Thank You Tropicalbliss45. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Thanks to watching these videos I started OMAD 2 months ago. I lost 23 lbs so far and feel fantastic. I have already cut down on one of the 2 medications I take for diabetes and I know if I continue I’ll get off the other as well. I’m the type of person who goes all in once I’m very educated on something and that happened thanks to these videos. Otherwise, I would have been skeptical and even paranoid of the dangers of it because of what I’ve grown up hearing from doctors for so many years. Now, when I’m at work I feel full of energy and sharper than ever. Last year I struggled horribly with no energy, lots of brain fog, and high sugars, and all the symptoms that my diabetes was causing. I’m so glad there’s people out there like you who want to help. My husband has also lost 30 lbs because of this and his blood pressure has finally fallen to a normal number. This video is going in my favorites to remind me in the future of what actually works because it does. Thank you.
Incredible story... thx
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your work on YT, it is truly life saving. I am Asian and have cut rise out of my diet and have been doing a low carb diet with intermittent fasting. I have lost 10 lbs, I more energetic and more focused. Thank you.
Another simply explained video Sten, I started watching yours and dr Eric Berg videos a few months back, I have completely changed my outlook on food, I used to take sandwiches and crisps and a bit of fruit to work everyday thinking there was no other alternative, was only gaining weight with a job that requires long hours of sitting, now all I have for the week is prawns chicken sausage beef boiled eggs strawberry’s raspberry’s and plain yogurt - I eat all this cold of course which I’ve had to get used to but you guys are game changers I’ve lost so much weight since cutting out bread everyday so thank you and I will continue to watch your videos and spread the word about you.
THANK YOU DR. EKBERG !!! You and Everything you are teaching us is absolutely “INVALUABLE” ✨
When you have success with eating healthy (low carbs, greens, no sugar or processed food) and intermittent fasting, how long does it take for your body to reset the set point? I've lost 27 pounds since June 10th of this year. I started at 195 and I'm currently 168. By the way, your videos have changed/saved my life.
Did you get your question answered ?
Great lesson. Please keep getting the information out. I enjoy listening to you every day. Keto-IF 16-8
Take heed of this man’s advice! I used to weigh 146kg and lost 75kg back in 2020. Fasting in conjunction with whole foods is a pot belly’s kryptonite. On top of the benefits Dr Ekberg mentions, you cannot lose. Look after yourselves folks 👍
Eating like you discuss in this video has changed my life. Lost 35 pounds and have maintained it for 3 years and have never felt better. Great video Dr Sten!
Dr. Ekberg thank you for the great video. I wish all who follow great success on the journey to health. I have adopted most of these protocols to my life and have had great success. My only disappointment has been trying to convince family and friends. It's so difficult for me to see them decline in health when all they have to do is try it. It's free.
I started intermittent fasting back in March...best thing I ever did for myself.
Thank you for all the great info
I have watched many videos by so many doctors on UA-cam. I have to say, none, none even comes close to Doctor Ekberg. I have to move to Georgia so I can attend his conferences. Keep it up Dr. Ekberg.
Wow! All your videos always make my day. I learnt about you from my son in July last year. For more than thirty (30) yrs, I suffered from an acute both low and high blood sugars. One year down the line, my life is hale and hearty. You are full of wisdom and objective in your teachings. You are really amazing.
This is one of the best and should be watched as a refresher every once in a while.
Thanks Dr. Ekberg!
When fasting for three to five days for the first time, isn't it a good idea to monitor blood pressure and possibly blood glucose?
My wife and I each lost over 40 pounds following keto. We are in our 70s. We got covid about six weeks ago. My wife had it for a week but then had a lingering cough. I only had symptoms for two days.
Don’t know if she’ll find it helpful, but Marshmallow Root : 1 capsule/ day FINALLY got rid of my Covid cough that would not go away... even months later. 2 weeks and it was gone. Maybe it’ll help her also?
Glad you are doing well! I had lost about 150lbs on Keto when I contracted C, and I feel my lack of extreme symptoms was due to my body being in a healthier state. 🙂👍
Glad to hear u recovered. I'm 68. 10 days ago started keto. Still learning the ropes. Lost 4 lbs. Still need to loose >10.
People fast ALL the time! Have been for hundreds of years. JUST FAST! Don't worry about it. It is natural and after 3 days, the hunger disappears and you get tons of energy. You will be happy you fasted. JUST DO IT!
Very helpful information. I used to fast a lot for spiritual reasons. I didn’t know it had so many good health benefits as well. Thank you.
My issue I had are to long to list! But if you do what this guy is telling you, ( in all of his videos) I promise you, you will start living your best life!!! Good stuff Doc!… God Bless You and thank you for saving my life!
Great video! I cut out almost all carbs and sugars, and started fasting around 18 hours a day, a year ago after watching these videos. I wasn’t fat but I was thin and a little blubbery and I had bad liver readings. I’ve always eaten healthy and didn’t know which way to go. After doing this, I can see the difference and my liver is much better last reading. I don’t know if it’s connected but I feel so much healthier and I’ve lost my blubber!
Tks doc, been If now for 2months.
Lost 6kg in 3 weeks.
Just finished my second 3days fasting last week.
Still feels amazing 👏
Dr. Sten, Absolutely LOVE your videos. Not only do you give the very best advice on YT but you make it so interesting and easy to follow. Thank you!
Agreed, excellent video yet again. Dr. Sten Ekberg's videos are a must watch. 🙏🙌
One of your best breakdowns of what I've been doing thanks to you. Thanks Doc!
Like always, very helpful advice. Thank You Dr Sten!!🌺
Thanks again Doc. I have been on keto for 4 months, lost 20 pounds and lots of joints pain. I stopped loosing weight, started 0 carbs and the weight loss came. 😊
Dr. Eckberg - thanks for EVERYTHING you do!!
I think the 15:30 mark of the video is the MOST important portion for EVERYONE to watch, rewind, watch, rewind and watch again!
Thanks again!!
Ekberg.
Perfect type of video to share. Great reminder for me as well. Thanks Dr. Ekberg!
Thank You LisaR Nichols. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Following the advice given by Dr Ekberg I've graduated to one meal per day, (omad), and since November 2021 to the present have shed 16 kg, (90kg down to 74kg), I'm 72 years old and going great.
So happy I found you ! This WORKS !!!
And it’s not hard to do at all - ease into it and stay with it - I’m down 20 lbs
Great video Dr. Ekgerg. You are truly a blessing as you share your vast knowledge on the human body with the world. I used to give out 5 UA-cam personalities to friends and colegues who want to know what I've been doing with my health. Now, my list is down to 1. You. Please don't stop! One critique... It looks like your studio lighting got changed recently. It is harsher than before. Maybe since you added the new writing board? Softer lighting would help with the overall look of your excellent videos. Thanks again!
Thank You Sal Lazuka. Those are very humbling words. Thank you for the critique. I had to reduce the lighting for the light board to work properly. I'll see if there is a way to soften it. 😄
I have tried counting calories, cutting back and counting servings. They all worked for a short time period. So far, intermittent fasting 16 hours fasting/ 8 hours feeding period (usually two meals only) or one meal a day has worked for me. There is hunger involved, but it is way more subtle and manageable.
This is by far the most impressive and informative video I have seen! Thank you so much Dr Ekberg!
I had Pneumonia really bad in January of this year. I was in the hospital for a while. Which is one of the reasons I am watching your channel and even others like it. Other issues in my body were reveled. Such as a fatty liver. My liver numbers are looking a lot better for sure.
I'm so glad you highlighted this stereotype, of obesity being the "cause". They might be correlated, but obesity doesn't cause it!! That's why many "healthy BMI" people die from the same issues. They eat poorly and think they'll be fine.
1:40 it's all connected!
One of the best health channels, everything professionally explained but also simple enough to understand for the average person. I lost 15 lbs with this method, no excercise required.
Snacks and sipping on coffee all day had me 15lbs above my desired weight.
This information is for free, it can save life and save you money on food, yet most people won't do it because they love food more than their life. Intermittent fasting changes my life.
This info is so clear! Thank you. Love the counter regulatory hormone part.
Great Presentation. You're good at writing in reverse on your glass board. Thank you for all you do, bringing this information to the world.
Exactly - 2 meals a day at 1 PM and 5 PM - is what I’ve settled on after eating keto for nearly 4 years. I ate one meal a day for most of that time, but found that I had better energy with 2meals. I’ve fasted 3 days a few times during this time and thanks to this video have a better idea why I should do more multi day fasting. I’m about to turn 80 and working hard to keep healthy with exercise. Thanks for putting the whole thing in context. Love the transparent ‘blackboard’ which eliminates the age old problem of having to turn your back on the audience!
I eat from 1pm to 5pm,4 hours window. I don't have 2 meals, but one meal that last 4 hours.😁
I was so intrigued with figuring out the transparent board, I missed all the information and had to watch again. Maybe my brain will work better once I've been eating this way for a while. I started two days ago.
The best advice ! Thanks Dr Sten Ekberg !
Thank You Simon Grech. 😄
Thanks Dr Ekberg so much for all your years of awesome informational videos. I was IR with type 2 diabetes. Just happened one day, my doc says A1C is 9.6 put on metformin 2000mg. Its been 4 years and my A1C is 5.7 and no meds...even hypertension is gone and no more of those meds either. Thanks so much...you saved me. My favourite video is Dawn Phenomenon: High Fasting Blood Sugar Levels On Keto & IF lol i still watch it all the time! Luv it!
This is the BEST Dr. Ekberg video yet. Saved to my favorites!
100% agree :) I have tried both methods and fasting is amazing. Recently did a 3 day fast after build up to it from 18,24,48... up to 84 hours. It really taught me a lot. 3 days is my sweet spot and on regular days I do the two meals a day. This is now my lifestyle and it is so easy.
I’ve been doing that for a few months two meals a day. I’ve never been a snacker so that is also easy for me. I love it so so much and my body loves it.
Thank for sharing Diane B. It is so much easier than the majority realize. 😄
@@drekberg Yes it is. Every time people wonder and ask they just don’t understand it and they’re worried I am starving myself by only eating two meals.
Thanks so much for all your videos. Learning more every time!
All of these in a simple and understanding manner. Thank you!
Life changing advise!! Thank you Dr Ekberg!
My mother in law was diagnosed with diabetes/insulin resistance. I recommended her to try IF, but her Doctor warned her from getting eating disorder and especially from low carb... how brainwashed someone can be, who is responsible for the health of patients.
According to Doctors recommendations she should avoid eating fat food, and still can eat whole-grain pasta (better than conventional pasta). She got less information about insulin in general and was offered to take pills and having a normal life.
Unfortunately, chronic illness has become a profit center for the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and processed food industries. As long as you stay sick, they all make money. As one keto advocate put it: we don’t have a healthcare system - we have an illness maintenance system. The USDA and our doctors recommend a diet that makes us sick, the food industry insures that we become addicted to the unhealthy diet, big pharma prescribes drugs to treat the symptoms but not the root cause - many of which have side effects requiring addition drugs in an unending cascade, and then we’re back to the doctor for more bad advice in a vicious but profitable (for them) cycle.
Metabolically healthy. Love it!
Thank You hudsonvie. 😄
Came back to this video because I have fallen off track..gained half of my weight back 😭 I felt so well and no cravings. I have no thyroid yet I lost effortlessly w/ fasting and keto.. Seriously thinking about making an appointment I live in the west coast but I know it would be worth it. Would love to see a video on people with no thyroid. Thank you Dr. Ekberg ❤
Can you share what made you fall off? Life challenges? Only if you're comfortable to share. It's not my business.
I am on keto 18:6 2MAD. Plus swimming for 3 months. Lost 17 kg. Less aches and pains. Thks from Brazil.
Good morning Doc. I started to watch last year. I love these videos. I have learned so much from videos. Thanks so much Doc.
You are welcome Irma Kalember. Thank you for watching. 😄
I agree with 99% of what is presented here and applaud the information getting out to so many who may benefit from it. One of the things he says in this video is how large spikes in insulin are damaging, therefore it's counter productive to fast ( skip breakfast, or lunch etc) and then have a large flood of calories. This is the hardest part about fasting for me is controlling that urge to eat more once the fast period is over. Working on it though.
Hi, I have been doing IF 6/18 hours, for a year now, lost 25 kg, bloodwork best it has been ever. I experienced what you said, the key to not have a surge of insulin and the hunger that follows is to combine IF with a low-carb diet. Try it, it is very easy and works.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
You're having a positive impact on those of us motivated learn and implement better ways of eating.
I've been learning so much from you.
Love the new Glass see through marking board. Also love the video. I am implementing this into my life now. Thank you.
While I still do three meals, I find I feel so much more balanced eliminating snacks altogether
Thank You Fitness Plate. If it works... 😄
Great communication Doctor! Thank you so much!
Thank you for all that you do, I have stopped eating carbs, added sugars and processed foods and I feel amazing, my weight is better and my backne is gone. I never feel tired anymore it's like I'm running on unlimited energy. I am fat adapted now and never going back. Implementing OMAD now too
As a 70+ year old senior. I want to pack on about 10 lbs of lean muscle through bodybuilding~but to do that requires a eating a greater amount of protein, higher carbs, and more frequent (small) meals. I already lost 25lbs following your metabolic recommendations. I am naturally of medium build with a long history of being athletic and as a wholly natural bodybuilder. But
how do I balance good health with this goal? (the goals seem to go in opposite directions!)
I fast every day until 2pm. My last meal is at 6pm. I eat only 1 meal. I fast because I want to be close to God too. God bless you.
kep faring amd ull meet god lol
@@gustavcrossbow2805 you shouldn't laugh about it. That is not nice. God love good heart and humble people. Just remember that. God bless you.
My husband recommended Dr. Ekberg ‘s channel to me a few weeks ago while he was already doing omad for a while. I started OMAD basically straight away, was 62kgs now 57kgs for just over 3 weeks, not only that but I feel so good, so energetic, I ate a lot of food on that one meal per day, real food, no junk food. Now I’m so ready for 2 days fasting. Thanks again Dr. Ekberg. You deserve a Nobel prize.
Fabulous help and advice. Bless your heart for sharing.
Hello Dr.Ekbert, you have really change my life! I'm fasting 20-4 more than 6 months and recently i did a 72 hours fasting, no problem. I stopped the 3rd day not because i was hungry but because i felt to run out of energy , or thought so! Anyways, as you have already said, it's really not that big a deal to stop eating for a couple of days :)
Thank you very much
Panos Anas,
It's Dr. Ekberg, NOT EkberT.
@@skinnydee1886 ok sorry, my bad, thanks :)
You are a life saver, thank you so much, you are so right
Due to the busy summertime planting and harvesting of food, natural food, I haven't done any all day fasts for awhile. I just have too much ultra nutritious food to eat! I've also been socking some food away via lacto ferment, gallons and gallons, so the winter is made too. I have been sticking to two meals a day of the recommended food choices and feel fantastic. I have more sustaining energy now, at age 61, than I ever did. I'll do more three day fasts in winter, its easier not having to carry food around on those ice fishing trips I embark on. Thanks again!
On spot Dr. Ekberg - thumbs up.
Dr Ekberg, I am truly admire your dedication. I am following you for many years, and you had videos about fasting numerous times. But each one of them is different, highlighting the problem from a different perspective. It seems like that you just keep educating us until we all start listening and change our life, our health for the better. I certainly did mine, and as you said it was life changing. Please don’t stop! 🤗
Thank You Frankston Safranek. You are a great student who realize that the same student will hear the same or a similar message differently at a different time because if you desire to learn you evolve. People who think they got it because they recognize certain phrases, never really get it. I won't stop until the world "gets it."😄
