I started eating sardines from looking into keto, and I adore them. I like the cheap ones in water, and then I add them to curry sauce! Toss in some boiled veggies and pour the whole thing over rice! I also love how soft they are. I'm healing from full-mouth dental extractions (getting implants), and mashed sardines have saved my life.

[@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove]

White rice? That sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

[@sararatliff7707]

@@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove Technically yes. I'm not quite fully keto yet. I'm in the searching and planning stage at the moment, slowly adding more acceptable foods and not going back to the less acceptable ones. Rice is the hardest of all to let go of. I love curry and sushi.

[@joan.nao1246]

Congrats on every step you're making 🎉​@@sararatliff7707

[@armchairtin-kicker503]

Although rice sounds good, it defeats the purpose. You might as well eat your sardines with a lollipop.

[@RRMarkham]

​@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove -- A good online dr I follow (sorry, I've forgotten if it's Dr Berg or just who) said rice is fine *if* you cook it the day before, and refrigerate it. By the second day its carbs are much less easily absorbed. I've been doing that awhile now, and my blood sugar doesn't react to 1-day-old (reheated) rice like it does to freshly cooked!! 😋

[@cmonarrez1513]

hi Dr., BOZ, I'm kind of new watching your videos and I don't see you talking about fruit, it must be because fruits are sugar bombs, i checked my glucose after eating a mango and my sugar was way up there so we decided to stop eating fruits, we also decided to ditch the fruit basket, when we feel like eating fruit we just walk the super market and get an apple or a peach , but only one now i eat sardines like twice a week, i prepare like sardine tacos with onions and cilantro and jalapenos but i use romaine lettuce no tortillas, beef tacos on romaine are not bad either. I think its great that i found you videos, my ac1 went down to 5.7 from 7.6 since last September my doctor says might cut down on my medicine if it gets lower. I wanted to thank you for all the effort and all the work you do. stay well, stay safe, and be happy

[@lorraine-77]

If you really want to eat a piece of fruit have cheese first or something high fat before you eat your fruit and it doesn’t let the sugar hit your bloodstream so fast

[@arivirtanen3122]

Here in Finland, far away, we have a local fish called "muikku" in Finnish. Sardines are probably okay, but it's worth looking into local opportunities to eat good quality fish.

[@jonorway65]

Almost incredible! I have barely heard about Dr Boz’s sardine fast and so was just now deciding to write my experience in the comments, when this video came up. See, I’m an American, who’s lived with my Norwegian wife, here in Norway for 40 years (!) and I think I’m very accurate when I say that I have eaten about 3-4 King Oscar sardines in extra virgin olive oil for an average of, say, 27 days a month all these years! I gave up other brands very quickly. Then here’s my “secret” for how I’ve loved them so much: I have a plastic storage box with cut up white onions handy and eat a few of these onion bits alongside the sardines and I simply love the flavor. (Take it from an “expert”!)

[@jonorway65]

(And Mackerel in tomato sauce also is a favorite in Norway, and even the kids are wild about it!)

I absolutely love the tiny sardines that are available under several different brands. They make for the perfect lunch and I could most likely live on them for quite a number of days with no complaints. I love the "Tiny Tots" brand. Yum, Yum, Yum...

[@disqusrubbish5467]

Make sure the olive oil in the can is (1) actual olive oil, and (2) if it is, make sure it's not some low grade version of olive oil. Just get them packed in water and drain them well. Omega-3's galore.

[@Oggiwara1]

I have been eating King Oscar sardines since childhood. I have been working a few years at one of their many factories when they made them here in Norway. So did my mom a few year and my grandmother for most of her adult life, and they both got 95 and 97 years old before they passed away naturally. It is one of the cleanest fish you can eat today. No preservatives at all. Just pure wild caugth fish and virgin olive oil cooked in the tin can. If you have problems getting used to eating the Sardines(which is Atlantic Brisling named Sardines in the purpose of marketing), keep them in the fridge and eat them cold at once you take them out of the fridge. That reduce the smell some people don't like.

[@hazy9785]

Thank you.

[@Gnarshredder]

Oh, excellent advice. I must try that.

[@brendakemp9060]

Do they still have the heads?

[@stevetonnesen3666]

My Grandparents on my dad's side were both immigrants from Norway, so my dad and all the rest of us enjoyed King Oscar sardines for as long as I can remember. They are definitely the best tasting, but yes, a little bit on the higher price side. Do not buy the Aldi ones, as they are cheap and packed in soybean oil. There are other other great sardines out there too, but they are more 'sardiney' smelling.

[@hazy9785]

@brendakemp9060 No.

[@JeannieBauske]

You're so right. I just started with the King Oscar and so much tastier. Love you bunches.

[@natashamudford4011]

Hey, Doc. At 2:54, you misspelled LEAD. I think. Gotta research now.

[@richardboreiko]

I came across a KZbin video recipe that I think works with the carnivore diet and makes sardines taste delicious! 1 can cheap sardines, drained. Put sardines into a bowl and mash them up with a fork. Add three eggs and stir them into the sardines. I took the outer rings of a medium onion and diced them, melted some ghee and added the onions until they were translucent, then added salt & pepper to the eggs, mixed well, and poured into the pan where the onions were, mixed once again with the flipper to get an even distribution of the onions, covered and cooked for 2-3 minutes. Put the result on a plate and cut it up into bite size pieces. Delicious!

[@kimberlyl.9383]

I give Dr.Boz credit for getting me to finally try sardines. I hate that I have spent my entire life listening to other people say how gross they are. I love them and mackerel. I think they are milder in taste to tuna and I actually like them better than tuna. Thank you so much Dr. Boz!

[@CitEnthusiast]

Had my daughter buy sardines when I started really getting into your advice. They sat there for a month before I decided it was time. not nearly as bad as I'd made it in my mind. Yes, a strong odor, don't take these to the office! LOL But they are super food, amazing how they work at reducing appetite while getting the ketones started. Thanks for this advice Dr. Boz!

[@mrnick0925]

Put a splash of apple cider vinegar on them. Let it sit for 20 seconds. Smell is gone and flavor is good! Try it!

​Polar brand comes in jars if you can tolerate the little Brislings.

[@gr8hmz]

I discovered King Oscar too. They are so much better because they are not strong! My favorite ingredient to add is Tajin Clasico. That bite of lime is a really nice note. I can not eat sardines any old time, to make the hunger go away and I have them on auto-delivery from Amazon! And my Vitamin D3 is way up!

[@hazy9785]

That's fantastic! Congratulations!

[@JP1AO]

I love sardines. More specific King Oscar sardines. Another food that really brings up my ketones is egg salad. Just egg and mayo. 85g of sardines is 240 cal, 14g protein, 1g carb, and 20g of fat. 85g of egg salad is 223 cal, 8.7 protein, 1 carb, and 20g of fat. If you are worried about the mayo ingredients make your own. I know eggs are spendy right now but it's one of my favs. I make up an 18egg batch about every 3rd day. Now if I could keep the rest of the family out of it it would last longer. That is the best part about sardines. Nobody else will eat them. :)

[@VoiceofApollos]

EXACTLY the brand I buy (especially the Mediterranean version).

[@jb11547]

Dr. Boz, I made sardine provolone ravioli. Found a recipe for sardine dip/spread with some cream cheese, based the stuffing on that. I thought it was great but the rest of the family didn't appreciate it!

[@keithharrison1453]

Two things I find go well with Sardines, because many things don't, is Sea Salt and Apple Cider Vinegar. My routine is to add a couple of good pinches of Sea Salt, consume around half the tin and most of the salt, then add a lot of Apple Cider Vinegar, which finishes it off nicely. Almost two dishes in one in effect, and I look forward to it. I'm not a particular fan of anything that tastes too fish, but this works well and removes even the slightest hint of fish.

[@davidmusicmaker]

I love them! I eat either sardines, mackerel, or salmon about four times a week. Very satiating, especially with some steamed or boiled leafy greens on the side. A small serving of berries and a chunk of dark chocolate for dessert, and I'm good to go.

[@j22dave]

Fresh caught sardines grilled with salt in Matosinhos, Portugal Is the true game changer! Later, take the tour at the Nuvi sardine plant...

A good way to eat sardines is as follows: Put the sardines in a bowl, squeeze in the juice of a lemon, add half an onion - finely chopped. Mash with a fork and consume.

Some of the ladies in my group suggested putting the can in the fridge and try them cold. That greatly reduced the smell. Once I can get a food past my nose, I can taste it. Id did get the cheap ones because if I ended up throwing it away I didn't want to waste my money. My favorites are Wild Planet in organic olive oil, with or without lemon, and Seasons brand filets from Costco. Top with lemon pepper.

[@jerrywest7068]

Love King Oscar sardines and salmon in olive oil. I mix in a few chopped red onions. No rise in glucose on CGM.

[@janetgies8698]

I buy Minsley brand Sardines at Costco. The olive oil is not “virgin” but they are skinless (skin ain’t bad) and they are not presented as “intact” fish - more like pieces. Most importantly I mix them with my daily Wild Caught Salmon with vegetables. They don’t really taste like much. ❤🎉😊

[@rtired7908]

After 4 months of tracking my blood glucose with a Stello GCM I had plateaued with both reducing my BG and with weight loss. While my clothes were fitting better nothing else budged. And hitting the Dr. Boz ratio? Forget it. So I got fed up and decided to "go drastic" and do a three day sardine "fast". The results were very good. My BG came down, I lost 5 pounds, and I felt great. All I had were sardines with a little hot sauce, black coffee and tea, and water. What I noticed as well was some knee pain I'd been dealing with went away. I wouldn't want to do this every week, but I think I will do this once a month as a reset. I got my sardines at Costco, skinless and boneless in olive oil.

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Great - they taste better in olive oil but better to eat the skin and bones. Look around and you can find whole sardines in olive oil (I don't like soy oil). I eat straight from the can, as is.

[@humanyoda]

How much did you eat a day?

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

I like them too, especially for eating straight from the can. I'll take the spines out of the other ones when I want to cook them.

[@Nedyalss]

I have tried several kinds, but those that are SKINLESS and BONELESS are by far the best. I like the Seasons brand that I can get at Costco (particularly when I can catch them on sale!!)

[@disqusrubbish5467]

The bones are calcium...

[@Anunnasboy]

Sometimes, Old men prefer cheap sardines in mustard or tomato or hot sauce.

[@WKR79]

The best way to eat sardines is to open the can and use a spoon to scoop them out and eat them. I love them and have been eating them for years. I like the GV plain ones in water. The foo-foo ones are actually less appealing to me, but then I am a fish person.

[@TheTriciaLife]

What I don’t eat my cats will! I did buy the king Oscar’s and they are not that bad. I squeeze lime and soy sauce or lemon.

[@ed7519]

Those are a bit more pricey. Isn't smoked food bad for you though?

[@lostwarriorwandering]

@@ed7519 you can get them at under $3 per can, so I’m good with the price. There’s a little bit of controversy with the fact that they’re lightly smoked, but after researching it I decided it’s okay. I barely taste a smoke to the flavor, so I believe that it really is a light smoke.

Perhaps consider frying with coconut oil or avocado oil since olive oil doesn't have a very high heating point. You can still drizzle the olive oil on after you put them on the plate.

In Germany, I can only find canned sardines in sunflower oil. None in water, none in olive oil. I was avoiding them for months bc I didn't want to consume seed oils but finally I broke down and bought a dozen cans. We'll have to wait and see if the good of the sardines outweighs the bad of the seed oil. But they taste great. I can eat them every day and never tire of them. Mix them up with some fresh lemon juice and sprinkle a bit of Himalayan salt and it's a gourmet meal in my book.

[@benoitlamarche7455]

I sometimes filter out the soybean oil and then add my olive oil with a pinch of salt. I usually can recover 2 table spoon of original soybean oil from one can. Better than eating the whole initial quantity!

Dr Boz, I live in Portugal, yes you can buy Sardinhas in a tin and i do eat these, however nothing beats the Peixe Fresco cooked over coals, the oils keep the Sardinhas moist and incredibly flavoursome.

I ate King Oscar Sardines for years but my TSH remained out of range (aprox 5.4 on my last 3 annual physicals). I discontinued them altogether and within a few months my TSH had moved back into range. Sardines do contain mercury so keep that in mind.

[@Anunnasboy]

During lockdown I mostly lived on them allwinter

the life cycle of a sardine makes it not possible to farm so no artificial pellet fed. they are all wild eating their natural diet. they have a short life span and are low on the food chain so they don't concentrate mercury like a fish that eats other fish or has a long life span. about the only pollutant i would be concerned about would be micro plastics as they live in the modern ocean. microplastics are everywhere so not really an issue above any other food. Just make sure they are not packed in oil. i can only find them packed in soybean/canola oil. you can get them packed in water. legend has it you can get them packed in olive oil however then you also have to trust who ever supplied the oil is not lying. best to just get them in water. even 2000 years ago cheaper oils have been sold claiming to be olive oil.

Food is to fuel one's body. Food is NOT for pleasure, nor is food for fun, boredom, or to fill a void. Meat, eggs, and organ meats are essential for health and are the staples of human existence for centuries ❤

Canned sardines are generally considered a healthy food choice. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin D, and minerals like calcium, which contribute to overall health, including heart health and bone strength. However, there are certain situations where consuming sardines may not be advisable. One key concern is their purine content. Purines are naturally occurring substances found in many foods, including fish, meat, and some vegetables. When purines are broken down in the body, they produce uric acid. A high intake of purines can lead to elevated uric acid levels in the blood, potentially contributing to conditions such as gout. If you have a family history of gout or have been diagnosed with high uric acid levels, it may be wise to limit your intake of purine-rich foods, including canned sardines. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian to determine the most suitable dietary choices for your specific health situation.

Fish is highly in Selenium which counteracts the mercury. God knew what he was doing ❤

King Oscar Mackeral in Olive Oil. Way more Omega 3 than sardines and far more delicious.

[@ICDeadPeeps]
