It's all beautiful maths and all theoretical but could you've given us practical implications for us, some conclusions to be drawn

[@krishnannarayanan5252]

Excellent and beautiful explanation. Now I can go for fasting without worry to have a healthy (wealthy--health is wealth) life. Txs doctor

[@drekberg]

It is not theoretical. The practical application is that carbohydrates are stored in the fat tissue along with fat in the exact ration needed to fuel the brain during a fast/starvation. Many people claim that fasting is muscle wasting, but the numbers prove that we don't need to break down protein to provide glucose.

They are suspicious of they great doctors here on KZbin (nurse was brought in to speak to me about eating 5 meals a day and taking my insulin- I just nodded) I decided to use my docs and nurses just to measure my progress. It is slow going for me because my immunotherapy drug also raises glucose. But the tumor went from a mango to now a raisin size so immunotherapy is working. But once I’m off this Keytruda it will be crucial to eat sugar rarely and do clean keto & fasting

Carbs aggravate my diabetes. I needed to lose weight as well. I started monitoring my blood glucose myself, along with my blood pressure. I selected a diet by experimentation to avoid glucose spikes. It turned out to be very similar to a ketogenic diet. I minimize carbs, eating them only in complex form, not processed, and that sparingly. Carbs aren't essential at all. I lost 40 pounds and actually look forward to exercise, which I do a lot! My blood pressure is normal now, and my VO2 max (a measurement of fitness) is well into the "excellent" range for my age.

Fasting (prolonged fasting), and low carb refeeds, have resulted in me losing over 16lbs in 3 weeks! The Math in this video has proven my old biases and fears about not eating enough carbs, to be incorrect. Thank you for your "Geekiness" in working this out! A favourite saying of one of the plant-based Doctors was "the fat you eat is the fat you wear" .... my years of insulin resistance and poor liver beg to differ. I am finally healing.

Then I saw a video by Dr Jason Fung first, and others by you, and I was blown away by your revelations. In short, I have started a holistic approach and discontinued taking the meds. I have lost about twenty five pounds so far. My eyesight has improved (this entire text was written without glasses) and I feel better, enjoying less pain and more energy. Thanks!

@@garvinstewart5511 Nail fungus is a sign of systemic fungal overgrowth. It is something which diabetics and those close to prediabetes are prone to as the fungus thrives on the excess blood glucose. As your sugar levels come down and you continue on keto your fungal overgrowth within the esophagus, intestines, skin, ears and nails will die down and you'll get relief from the root cause. But meanwhile you should take apple cider vinegar 1-2 tbsps in a 750-1000 ml bottle of water and have it with a straw. You can add lime or lemon juice to it too. Also if you cut down dairy you may also speed up your healing. Also try and notice if you have any food intolerances and avoid those for better gut health.

I think you are one of the best expert in getting people to understand, lot of facts, which were blindly believed to follow, specially on the topic of INSULIN RESISTANCE. I really appreciate your deep knowledge over the very principles, and explaining the things so much of authority. all the best sir.

Fantastic video and yes, mind blown away. I will be re-watching this video a few times over. We are so fortunate to have such a genius teacher - who can break down the 'geeky stuff' wtih such clarity. Thank you again!

Fat is my preferred fuel... I carb no more than 40g but average between 6g to 15g carbs a day. IF is a lifesaver.

[@drekberg]

Thank you Robert Hernandez.

[@thesparkster]

Same here, Robert. Some people go into ketosis eating 50 carbs a day, others 20 carbs a day. I've checked various Keto websites and while everyone is different and require different amounts of carb restrictions to enter ketosis, everyone will be in ketosis if they ingest 16 carbs or less. I did not want to gamble and go in and out of ketosis, or guess if I will be in ketosis. By keeping my carbs under 16/day, I'm ensured to be in ketosis. 👍

[@angelgirldebbiejo]

Yes everyone has a fine line of carb limits between being in control and going on a simple carb binge!!! Mine is very low.

[@Iknowurconfused]

Carnivore only,0 carbs and loving it, severe allergic reaction to all carbs and sugar

@@Iknowurconfused carnivore sounds not healthy in long term. you need greens and veggies in your diet.

[@JennyLory]

I love the way you address the topic of carbs being the body's "preferred fuel source" I have long hated that phrase. That language makes it sound as if are the body strongly desires carbs, like is it that has a vested interest in eating carbs. Like one person preferring steak over chicken, or blue over green. They're using the word preferred and people are taking the meaning in that way. It's not as if your body wants the carbs more than something else, it's just the easiest for it to burn. It is just so refreshing to me to finally have someone discuss that topic in this way. I hope more people hear this and understand the difference in the language!!!

Dr. Ekberg, THANK YOU! (a big one; I sincerely appreciate all your effort made and knowledge shared) I've been following your masterpiece content for some time now (hearing your voice almost daily), and had learned so much from you than I could possibly describe. As a result, my own health gained a super-positive momentum, feeling like never before in my life and I want you to know that it's happened only thanks to you. I am so very grateful for all you do, so once again - a BIG THANK YOU!

Love love love this fascinating info! Thank you so much... I’m getting more hooked on Keto omad everyday. It Works wonders for me. I’m doing omad everyday, regular longer fasts and dry fasts, maybe twice a year. Pity not everybody shares my enthusiasm. Lost 7,2kg’s in the last 6weeks, when I started omad again after summer vacation.. 😬

@Fareed Waseem the taste of the food isn't a function of the food, but a function of nerves to tell us what to eat. I won't eat foods from a bakery, nor most packaged foods anymore, its all lies and trickery! Sure it tastes good, but so does the water in a desert mirage. I for one will not be the victim of petty illusions.
