@@ouroborosbond7412 actually, I'm 60 now also and usually pretty fit but had gained weight during covid eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted as a coping mechanism to deal with losing my dance studio of 20 years to covid. I also just lost 25 pounds in about 3 months from intermittent fasting. I still have my latte every day. I drink Chardonnay if I want. I have been having dark chocolate every day and I eat what I want...I have gravitated to eating OMAD but I am flexible if I want. I do not count calories at all. I just quit eating any of the processed foods I was eating, no sugar (except my chocolate lol) and minimal in what I'm eating. Less carbs. Intermittent fasting and eating protein and fat and less carbs. But I credit mostly the IF. I am almost 5'9" and I weigh 127 and went from 25% BF to 22% and I feel great!

This video is so timely for me right now, as I've just seen Jillian Michaels' videos re: her opinion on keto, and wondered if she knew what she was talking about. Fortunately, I've been following Dr. Ekberg for more than a month, and his explanation makes much more sense.

[@bibilove6277]

You have to understand her. She can’t have all of us loosing weight on our own and building muscle. Just by doing keto or carnivore with Intermittent fasting. Throw in strength training and she is out of business. We have essentially cut out the middleman.

[@olgakim4848]

Or perhaps all the stuff Dr. Ekberg laid out about intermittent fasting in this video is just too complicated for some intellectually lazy TV clown.

[@Rocketscientist66]

Yes Yes Yes!!! Actually we should have a system - those who eat healthy & excercise get tested end of year and they get a huge refund from their health insurance 🤓 That would convince most anybody to change their lifestyle! Something similiar is already happening in China - they take body measurements (mandatory). I‘m talking more on a voluntary basis for democratic countries. It can‘t be fair that everyone has to pay for the people who live a dangerous lifestyle whether it‘s junkfood junkies, drug attics or alcoholics. Every single year more people are getting diabetes, cancer, heart disease ... and every single year the health insurance costs go up. Let‘s spread the word, start teaching our kids to eat healthy. Leave the crappy processed foods and sugary foods to rot on the shelves and in the fast food restaurants. Let‘s turn this around people - then we can ignore people like Gillian, because we are all smarter my friends. And we can take our health into our own hands. It‘s really that simple! Thanks for this great video

[@stefdiazdiaz7067]

Calorie deficit is not wrong, it is just the variables in the calculus changes depending what you feed to the body ( but a deficit still will exist somehow, even if you are eating more calories, it means your body is wasting or burning even more). That is my understanding. Anyways ketocarnivore diet brings fasting and weight lost almost automatically for a lot of people...tigers are very lean animals after all...

Calorie counting works. Calorie deficit is not wrong. If it was, how did I lose weight? How does anyone using calorie counting lose weight?

Great observation! She has always had that really sharp edge, seemingly angry. She is not a doctor and has never studied any type of medicine and has no business opining about this subject. She has done no favors to all of these people on the Biggest Loser.

Of course she's stressed - she's losing money, as she tries to gaslight people away from KETO and IF.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

The fun thing also is that the underlying drive about reaching a percieved normal weight is that we är it as attractive because it signals health, it's probably a deeper instinct than merely fashion of the time. So it's quite absurd how she present her argument. And the bear could often outrun a trained racinghorse in modest distance! (My former SIL, a horseowner saw a bear run uphill and was astounded at the power and speed "teddy" moved upward a steep hill). Tim Spector said in an episode att "The Genius life" about a study they made and found that there 25% difference in gut bacteria with a pair of 18 year old twins who lived together, grew up eating similar meals, genetically pretty much the same. That difference will make a difference in how they tolerate different foods and thus metabolism etc.

[@vwilborn2538]

If I get this right, she failed to help ANYONE (long term) on the biggest loser. So based on that same success rate (which is 0%) , she needs to spread this process to all her converts, to remain relevant. After a while you begin to wonder about the cognitive abilities of Hollywood celebrities or their agendas. I lost more weight with keto and intermittent fasting than the 9 years of having a monthly gym membership at my job. I quit the gym and started Keto / Intermittent fasting and lost 80lbs. She is just wrong.

[@trifivegarage8683]

Dr Eckberg you're so on point as always thank You! I ate 6 small meals a day for years. Then i reached a plateau. When i tried IF and researched insulin resistance and your teachings. That's when I started to lose again. I'm eating close to the same foods and calories. But I eat them in two larger meals instead of 6. I dropped 20 pounds following IF. Currently at 186! 👍

I haven’t actually tried fasting intentionally, but I naturally eat late. My first meal is usually @1pm or 2pm sometimes later. So if say, I stopped eating the night before @8pm I think I’ve met the necessary steps for 16/8 intermittent fasting. I haven’t really been seeing the same results people talk about after they actually intended to fast though. I’ve lost weight, but it’s been through calorie counting. It’s also not as much as others calorie counting or using other weight-loss methods. (30lbs) I’ve only recently begun looking at the carbs I take in and my protein and fat intake on the food tracker app I use. Is there more you have to do to fast? I don’t tend to eat anything or drink anything (that’s not water) until I eat my first meal. Sometimes I won’t even drink water. Since I’ve been trying to cut down on the unhealthy food I have been making mostly healthy food throughout the week. Only having unhealthier choices on the weekends if at all. What am I missing if I was to seriously try to add intermittent fasting to what I already do?

Once again I really appreciate your efforts trying to educate us and clarify facts to all of your followers Thank you Sir

Thank you Dr. Ekberg for explaining Intermittent Fasting where it makes logical sense. I’ve been following your KZbin videos for a while and you are the first person to break it down piece by piece, with visuals (I’m a visual learner) and I get it. I’ve been following keto and IF for several years but now I actually understand HOW it works so THANK YOU! Light bulb moment and you’re right, I am not a bear!

Thank you for all you do! You have an incredible way of sharing important information and are very appreciated. My body THRIVES on keto/low carb and IF!!

[@CFLavertu]

The quality of the food has a HUGE impact on the calories out! And the size of your meal has the BIGGEST impact on hunger. Eating a ton of low calorie vegetables with a decent amount of protein got me to finally be able to control my weight and bring it to where I always wanted it!

[@SRose-xm4qh]

I believed this mindset for years. Did Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc etc. You name it, I tried it! I lost weight yes, but I was miserable and gained it all back multiple times; with multiple programs. If you’re eating food that’s bad for you, even with a caloric restriction, you will eventually mess up your hormones and it’s a vicious cycle from there. Choose a low carb for life like I did. Finally lost weight the correct way with a keto lifestyle. I won’t gain the weight back this time, either because I’m eating correctly. Thank you! 🙏

I just watched your video again and got an advertisement for heath candy bars. LOL. I hate to say this but if you looked as good as this julienne michaels lady and you told people they could eat 6 times a day, more people would listen to you. The world we live in. My guess is julienne michaels knows nothing about insulin resistance, nutrition or diabetes. It has been my experience (as a diabetic) that everything you have said in this video and your other videos is spot on accurate. Thanks again for all you do. You are saving lives.

Thank you Chug-A-Lug Doug. Heath candy. Lovely! I guess I have to work on my looks, or am I too old or not female enough? 😂 Thank you for confirming my teachings with your experience.

[@chug-a-lugdoug4638]

Dr. Sten Ekberg I’ve learned to view everything on youtube with skeptical optimism. Most of these channels do more harm than good by telling people what they want to hear. For obvious reasons. Thanks to you, I can see again and I’m no longer shooting my self in the stomach with a hypodermic three times a day. My doctor (who I had trusted with my health) was speechless the last time I was in his office. They had me jump on the scale twice because they couldnt believe how much weight I have lost. His professional advice was “just keep doing whatever you are doing”. Lol. I bet he watches the julienne michaels channel. 😉

[@genjobee]

Personally, I’d be more apt to believe an Olympic decathlete than a celebrity trainer. You know what I mean?

[@C.Church]

Why? They're both fit and display their lifestyle on their bodies. I'm more apt to believe someone willing to follow the evidence and adapt accordingly. But maybe that's just me.
