Hi, thanks for your extremely informative videos! I'm still struggling with getting the information about starches (bad)/ resistant starches (good?) and how to calculate them in the daily intake. Do you have the info on which is which as it is not written on packages? For instance are legumes like chickpeas allowed or not? I've read as well you could eat cold potatoes but I am extremely suspicious!! 😀 Apologies if you have been through this already, I don't see it in your list. If so could you give the link? Thanks! ☺

If you are, you must be working for pharmaceutical companies or your “professional work” is funded by drug companies. I don’t know you but from observing your comments, you are a sloppy careless untrustworthy reader as you totally missed his name for someone else. His last name is Ekberg not Elberg. As a cell biologist you should pay more attention to details or you should review your comments before posting it. After all, you are only accepting “peer-reviewed” materials! Just learn to spell his name correctly next time and save your peer-reviewed comments for your pharmaceutical friends!

Addicted to sugar! pre-diabetic , fatty liver and suffered from insomnia, I started intermittent fasting , eating once a day, then twice a day, said no to junk food, or processed foods! started walking and taking body pump class with weights twice a week. I lost 53 pounds in 7 months. I am 158 pounds , I am so happy now!! I can pick up my grandson and play with him without getting tired. My children are proud of me! I still need to lose like 20 more pounds. The road is steep and narrow. I feel unstoppable! If you feel that you can't do it , take it one day at a time! One hour at the time if you need to. My love and blessings to all of you out there going up this steep hill, you will get there!

[@armadillotoe]

I found that when fasting, always listen to your body. Hunger is usually the worst around your meal times. Hunger will pass. If your body is hurting or feeling "wrong" end your fast and try again. You have to be mentally prepared to fast, and I have poor results if I suddenly decide I am going to fast rather than planing to begin a fast at a certain time. Emotional stress is the worst for me.

Every BODY reacts to food differently and it's up to individual people to listen to how their body responds to carbs, fats, proteins etc. If you plateau in your journey, this is when you evaluate your eating pattern and modify what you think could prevent you from achieving your goals. It is overwhelming but his explanation makes so much sense. I am on a low carb/keto FB page and what plan works for one person may not work for others. People complain often about stalling, Dr. Eckberg gives great insight in layman's terms on what individual should observe within themselves to continue in their success.

Changing things up is so true. I alternate between OMAD and 20:4 just to keep my body guessing. I also find that I feel better and show better results when I extend the fast from 20:4 to OMAD.

It may be something to monitor if someone has issues with insulin to start with.

I think I am on track and doing / feeling great so far. You're very much appreciated :) I should've watched your channel long ago

[@Dina52328]

Sigh 😩, nobody knew losing weight could be so complicated; too much protein not enough protein, too many carbs not enough carbs, too much fat not enough fat, too many calories not enough calories, too much exercise not enough exercise, etc . . . How I long for the days of my stress-free youth when I didn't have to worry about IR, low BMR, hypothyroidism, pre-diabetes, etc. . . . Nevertheless, thank you Dr. Ekberg for providing us with this very important information.

[@mrs.w8193]

Elsa Loebell it’s not, all these diets are FADS. Eat less, move more that’s it. It just gets harder the closer you are to goal weight and when you have lower body fat.

[@soulgalorememories9921]

I have been on OMAD for nearly two months and have lost weight. No scales at the moment, but I can see I have lost weight. The point I would like to raise, is that weight loss doing this seems completely different to the usual diet weight loss. Let me explain, in the past when dieting, the weight loss has been "dramatic"......this current weight loss seems slow and just different. This may be normal, but I am just afraid that I may have already plateaued. I am keen to avoid the scales until I see significant weight loss......the scales have been my enemy for years. This past couple of weeks, I have tried a 48 hour fast....with a "NO FOOD FRIDAY" routine and I am so surprised at how easy it is and how well I feel on the following Saturday. I will just plod on, change a few things from time to time and keep it in my brain that this is a marathon...not a sprint.

[@LilCraftyNook]

Pure gold!! Love how everything is laid out! The plateaus are driving me crazy. I will definitely be more mindful of all 15 of these!! Thanks so much!!😁

WOW! I love your videos and very much appreciate the time and effort you take to produce them. You are such a very good teacher - clear, direct, HONEST and easy to follow. This one really helped to clarify some things for me. Please, for as long as you enjoy KZbin-ing, keep the videos coming. Thank you!

[@RobertRichterParks]

A recommendations for everyone doing IF. Please start out slowly when you break your fast and avoid it being too fatty. If you consume just a small amount to fast it’ll fill you up in an instant and too fatty content may just result in throat burn and unpleasant sensation of having to vomit. I do 24hrs between my single meal of the day. Just something I’ve comed to realize from my own mistakes. Note. Something great to add to you daily IF journey is organic Rawpowder Wheat grass juice. It contains fibres as only carbohydrates, but since the body can’t break down fiber it won’t ruin your IF or kick you out of ketosis 😊👍🏼

Out of everything he said...l like when he says change it up...change up your type of fasting...change up your exercises and change up the food you consume. ALWAYS be consistent in drinking lots and lots of water 💧 😉

[@brg2743]

With a low thyroid I am not even going to try OMAD. I have been doing IF for almost 8 months and have lost 16 lbs. I have hit a plateau and am working on drinking more water. For some reason, I was dehydrated and having some painc attacks in the early morning hours. I am exercising daily in small chunks due to oesteoarthritis, but toning. I also cut back on carbs and starting finding myself hungry. So forr a few days, I just ate more carbs. Have plateaued for about 3 months. Not stopping unless it becomes a medical glitch. This way of eating is sustainable and seems ok. It works. When I get hungrier on some days, I eat more. Not fighting myself and not thinking it is all or nothing. Just taking it day by day and educating myself on carbs.

Some people have a discomfort or 'gas problem' or so when they go without food for long hours. Is IF okay with that ?

I was one of those people with gas problem...i started 16/8 IF then change it to 20/4 IF after one week..then now OMAD...believe me...you'll get used to it and you will no longer get the gas problem...also my acidity problem reduced way much that before

[@RajeevSharma-tm9yr]

[@mc7685]

I think the carbo phobia is because most people do not eat the whole foods plant based diet. The carbs they eat are store bought bread and bagles, muffins, poatato chips, french fries, all highly processed and full of sugar , salt and oil and carbs. Fasting with whole foods plant based should give the superior result of all. Not high fat, animal protein diet.

I’m doing well with the intermittent fasting. I have lost 7kgs in 6 weeks. I’m getting exercise within pain limits, as I’m getting a knee replacement soon.

[@marieehanes]

Love your videos and learning a lot. But still very confused about the calorie thing. How much is too much and how much is not enough? Is the limit the number of calories you burn every day?

[@JFSRN]

I'm more confused now! So now I need to diet on my IF journey? Too much protein, not enough protein, too much fats,not enough fats, to many carbs, not the right carbs, too many calories,not enough calories....HELP! Lol ....why does it have to be so difficult?

What I try to do now is pick ONE thing and try it for at least six weeks

[@mnayak9348]

He is just saying don’t over do anything about carb, fat and protein, like going after protein powder, bag of chips etc. I don’t count banana a bad carb as he showing banana in picture, since u get lot of potassium and B 6 from banana u do not need to cut nutrition, cut bad food. If you eat 3 banana it is too much. Avoid too much of anything. Balance diet, u good to go. Avoided seeds flour, nuts flour even is good but it will put u on too much fat . Don’t over do good food either. Boil down to one thing eat little less what u want to eat.

I have been seeing some of your videos. I love them. I am a 76yo retired RN. This video was helpful but I don't know what you meant by 18-6. I wish I could have seen your other videos but I have only seen them catch and catch can. I have been able to recognize bologna plans and I can tell that you are telling me factual information. I do ask you to be repetitive with the details. It may be boring for you bur it will help me so much. Thank you again for your help. It is pure gold. P. S. I do like County Life Vlog. It shows a couple in Turkey that produce almost every single bit of their food.

Ive just discovered you. I want to thank you so much for finally explaining so that I could understand, the difference between just reducing cals verses fasting. It has totally confused me for many months. So many people say cals have to be reduced/in deficit to lose weight, while many others, including Dr Jason Fung, say not to do this. I also want to thank you for explaining things so easily and fully. Most people totally confuse me, but Im going through your videos and finally understanding certain things, due to the way you explain them. Thank you so much.

I have fatty liver, it is almost a year ,that I'm working on it, to solve that. I started to watch the videos of dr Berg, and it helped me to understand some things in the food factory, the snacks, the unhealthy way of living. First I stoped eating snacks, then avoid sugar. I started to to feel much better. Than I found you . And some functions in the digasting system started to be more clear and understandable. Thank you for the videos. We should think seriously about our heath, we have only one life, and we are neglecting our body. Today I feel much better and I never going back to eat like I did in the past

Point 6 "Low calorie vs fasting" (6:45) is profound for me , I need to replay it a few times to listen to wat Dr says to properly understand, I'm now doing 16:8 fasting, but every time at my meal times I am conscious not to indulge, may lead me to eating less instead of eating full , cos I'm scared that it may negate the effect of my fasting, not sure if this is a good approach for me or not.
