Hi Dr Ekberg, thank you very much for your great info! In this video you mention the importance of fiber. There are some doctors though, like dr Boz, and carnivore KZbinrs who claim fiber is bad for you. Could you do a special video on pro's and con's of fiber?

[@ianeckwang9858]

Hi, I remembered from a previous video that you mentioned your daily caloric intake to be around 1600. Your macros in the current video set that at 2500 cal/day. Can you explain the difference? Because the macros do work... the more proteins you eat, the more fat you need to eat. I just can't imagine someone eating 2500 cal/day on OMAD...

Hello Dr.Sten ,do you know Yerba mate tea ? What do you think about it ? I heard a lot about this tea that help with weight loss, before I take , I wanted to get info about it, since other think the it cause cancer. Please tell us , it’ll help a lot

Can you tell us your weight, height and age ? I only ask because you don't look slim, but maybe it is all muscle ?

Prezado Dr. Ekberg, gosto muito de assistir seus vídeos. Tenho uma dúvida relacionada ao seu curso "Blood Work": o senhor tem médicos parceiros aqui no Brasil, de forma que eu possa consultá-los ou eventualmente adquirir os seus serviços no local onde resido? Muito obrigado.

In Jan 2020 I was diagnosed with stage 1 ovarian cancer and went through surgery and 4 rounds of chemo (carbo and taxol).At that time I was already doing a 24 hr fast one day a week, as well as doing LCHF, so for chemo days I would also fast. I had some pretty significant side effects (neuropathy, brain fog) but got through it and was clear for two and a half years. June 2022 I was found to have another mass that had adhered to my colon. It’s the nature of the beast, which is ovarian cancer! Surgery again and a different kind of chemo (carbo and doxil). This time I decided to do a three day fast around chemo because I was told that this chemo could cause hand and foot syndrome and heart problems. I would fast the day before, the day of, and the day after, with just electrolytes. I have had NO side effects whatsoever! It’s like I’m not even having chemo! Sure, three days is hard, but the payoff is incredible. And that first meal after fasting tastes soooo goood! I have my sixth and final round in February and I expect the same results. Thank you Dr Ekberg for being one of those that led me to this lifestyle. I’m not sure I would be here to enjoy my life without your guidance. God bless! Update: My Feb chemo was supposed to be on the 1st but we had an ice storm and the doctor’s office shut down. They finally called me on the evening of the 4th to see if I could come in the next morning. Long story short, I was only able to fast for two days instead of three. Holy cow! What a difference! I had four days of misery with nausea, chills, night sweats, bone pain and back spasms. Three days is really the sweet spot for chemo. I got the results of my follow-up PET scan today and there is no sign of cancer. Yay! I’m off to Hawaii to celebrate!

At 54 I genuinely feel like a 35 year old. 50 pounds to go and I know I will make it. This holiday I ate way too much "junk" and packed on 10 pounds... lesson learned. Thankfully it was mostly water retention I think and I shed it in about a week... other things like sore joints lack of energy and motivation are a thing of the past.

I am a lab rat. I am a heavy man. I am a HEAVY type 2 diabetic without any consequences. I am out of the normal trends. LOL I went in to the hospital 18 years ago for an infected cut. They decided to check my blood sugar... They freaked out! I was at 77 .. no consequences! That is why I have been studied so much! WHY NO consequences???? But it's now at a the point I can't deal with doctors and frankly they can't figure me out! All their usual theories don't work! Still I was obese and out of shape. I wasn't feeling 100%... So I decided to find the best diet for me. What diet did I need??? I extensively studied and learned alot about what you are talking about given that my case is so extreme. I tested on myself to find the best diet ! In the end, DR.Ekberg. I came out with the same conclusions as you. How you are eating is how I eat! I have been doing this for months.First 6 months was cleaning myself. Became fat adapted. Kinda deroxed myself. Last 12 months, I lost 65 lbs. 40lbs away from my ideal weight. All I wanted to say is that This video is the best! It screams adapt to your needs! The video is dead on! My case should tell people to eat this way!

1. Strip Steak 2. Bell Pepper 3. Mushroom 4. Full fat Greek Yogurt 5. Blackberries 6. Flaxseed 7. Avocado 8. Romaine 9. Cauliflower 10. Onion This if I could have only ten foods. Also need to have my full selection of spices (Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Italian seasoning as must haves). I am trying to figure out which of the 10 I would drop for eggs or canned herring. Also need EVVO and vinegar. It really is impossible to make a good diet out of just 10 items. I also use full fat cottage cheese in place of Greek Yogurt and some raspberries in place of the blackberries on occasion. I add sour cream to my salads, but I could do without it.

[@lindamon5101]

Blackberry seeds are just not. Blueberries

[@ChuckCanada1]

Meat. Salt. Water. Done. Don't make excuses- you can make a diet out of three items. Everyone wants so many options but nobody wants to do the work. If you want to be healthy be healthy, dont say its impossible to pick a diet with fewer than ten items. For those of us who want to be healthy, sometimes it is 3 items- meat salt water. Stop making excuses. If you want to really be healthy you can not have your cake and eat it to. Sadly that's just that for some people.

@@ChuckCanada1 A diet has to be sustainable. Also eating is part of enjoyment of life. I am pretty happy with my keto diet, and I feel that I can maintain for the rest of my life. I am not giving up vegetables, full fat dairy, or blackberries. Without those then I will eat things that are really unhealthy for me. I have more desire for my yogurt/flaxseed/blackberry than I do for a piece of cheesecake for example.

[@pennyk1943]

@CLAUDIA STEVENS, I wish you the best in your journey to better health💪I’m in my sixties and started intermittent fasting over two years ago. It was hard at the beginning because I’m a carb addict but two years later I’m doing great. When you fail and you will because these are eating patterns we are used to DON’T GIVE UP! Start by not saying how many pounds you want to loose. Just start doing it, slowly eliminate the harmful foods, oils etc. it’s absolutely great that you are walking because it is a must for your mental health too. If you want keep a food journal at the beginning. After two years, my blood work is better than my younger years, my skin looks great for my age and not swollen and when people who hadn’t seen me for some time (Covid) say wow, don’t you eat anymore? That’s because my body was swollen/ bloated. My food is eggs, butter, bacon,olive oil, olives, goat feta cheese, beef, fish, some chicken🤢,spring mix,onions ,blueberries , homemade bread for my eggs,homemade chicken soup. Very simple menu. I stopped eating nuts(rarely) and other vegetables because they were bothering my gut( no gallbladder). This doctor is a great instructor so follow his videos. Another to check for ladies is Dr. Mindy Pelz. Good luck, Happy New Year❤️💪🥳

U can lose 15lbs in 2-3 weeks if u really want. cut out ALL PROCESSED FOODS AND SUGARS and cut down on your complex carbs if you eat a lot. that alone u will see a big improvement. Increase your servings of fruits and vegetables.

[@electronnick8358]

Great job

[@MrHaggyy]

@@tjgrafiks he is in his 70!!! If he loses 15 lbs in 2 weeks his doctor will die of a heart attack. It really depends on his initial weight and remaining fitness. 1-2 lbs per week is more than enough. If his body is used to a lot of carbs, and you cut them out he will get sick. Never advise an elderly person to change his nutrition or exercise drastically in a short time. Their bodies need much longer to adapt. What do you expect him to do to get in an 800-1000kcal deficit if his expenditure is around 1200-1400kcal?? Run a 10k every single day for 3 weeks???

Eating just dinner (which is sometimes breakfast food 🤪😋) and just having some nuts during the day, gave me more free TIME and the FREEDOM of being 0 dependent on food.

Bless you for your good work Dr. Ekberg! I found your most useful video of “10 Things to do first before you start Keto” (I may have the name wrong) helped me to set goals, especially the “how you are not going to fail” goal. I needed to learn about how the body works and to realize the harm that prescription drugs do to our natural, critical processes. I now take certain supplements, and use natural foods, green tea (with ginger, turmeric, mint, chamomile) to compensate or substitute, and now I actually feel a lot better and more energetic than I ever felt in my whole life! You are right, in that we need to take mini holidays, and enjoy food, but be aware of going on a real skid and losing ground that we worked so hard for. I still have not overcome Type 2 Diabetes completely, but lost a lot of weight and I definitely do not experience all the awful effects of it, unlike several members of my family. Instead, I really feel like starting something new, i.e. getting some education, (even though I am 68 this year and have some difficulty walking). I must give God glory, in that my prayer, and those of others, plus studies of the Scripture and following what they say have released me from some bondage that was holding me back. I definitely felt it release when I awoke one morning, at the end of December. May everyone be as happy and peaceful as I am. God’s Blessings from Canada to you and your family 🇨🇦

She said too much fasting interferes with my hormones, causing imbalance. I have trouble raising Progesterone even taking 200 mg most nights. I say most bc randomly, I will miss a dose on purpose once or twice a month to change things. I do the same with nutrients too. It seems more natural as nothing in nature is consistent 100%.

@@nataliajimenez1870 yes, I was doing HIITS for some time...but HIITS can rise cortisol too and don't suit me anymore. Now, in menopause, I'm doing slow pilates and ballet. Those suit me best now.

Hi, Dr. E. Really enjoyed this video. It was less scientific/technical and more personal. Loved the humor at the end. A few foods I enjoy that weren't mentioned: cucumber, almonds, sunflower seeds. Anything negative about them or are they just not your favorites? Thanks for your content.

After being diagnosed t2d I started to make my own ketchup. Its really easy to do and by doing it myself I can control what goes into it. All I do is to combine some tomato sauce, a little tomato paste, a little apple cider vinegar, and allulose for the sweetener. I will also sometimes put a dash of something in it for heat but not always.

Question reg. potatoes: I read, that it's better for the body to 1) boil potatoes 2) let them cool down 3) heat them again as you like it. The rationale is, that the cooling process changes the starch (=glucose). I've never heard that before, have any of you?? I ate it twice so far & felt great the next day. Though the whole meal was close to ideal: fish, home made garlic sauce, Greek salad & oven potatoes. The potato texture was a tiny bit different, more doughy . The medical reason behind for me is high blood pressure, which I developed as side effect of medication. Tipp: If you have blood pressure spikes too: betroot juice works wonders for me. It's a temporary effect of ca. 12-24 hours and takes maybe an hour to kick in. I borrowed a basic smart watch that measures vitals very 30 min & shows statistics in an app. I love it

[@denniskoh4940]

Dr Ekberg, I've been watching many of your videos in the past 2 years... we started our low carb diet a few years ago but it took a while to refine and adapt over time. Now my wife and I are eating pretty much like most of those meals you described in this video! Only difference is probably ours is skewed a little more with proteins especially for me as I'm invoolved with more strength training in calisthenics. Really glad to watch this video as it gave me a good guide as to whether we are or rather should I say close in eating right. I just havent worked up my mind to go that heavy into fats on a daily basis. But certainly shedding the "conventional" wisdom ingrained in the last few decades by dropping carbohydrates -- especially processed and starchy ones has been the best thing to happen health wise.

Just my opinion, alcohol of any type or any amount should not be allowed into the lifestyle just as we wouldn't accept only one cigarette per day. There is zero benefits to alcohol. I've noticed many of the LCHF docs will say limit dairy but one drink of whiskey per day is ok, which leads me to believe they leave room in their diet for doctors social drinking occasions.

[@ninaalexa6163]

So informative. I appreciate the list of things that we can eat. My doctor told me that I’m carb intolerant so they are truly evil for me. I thought avocados were considered fruits. I may be wrong.

[@drekberg]

Thank you @MoniezTable for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Avocados and tomatoes are botanically classified as fruit, but in "common speak" people refer to them as vegetables, because they are less sweet than most fruit. Thanks for watching.😄

Romaine is great for hydration. I find that after a morning jog on a fasted-state, munching on a bunch slows down time for me so that I can listen to my body and decide whether or not I want breakfast. I also don’t think it kicks me out of ketosis (since the calories are so low) if I happen to be fasting.

[@ginaseville9009]

You are correct Dr. Some of the doctor are not really know how to interprete and dont know what action to be taken. Really I have learned a lot from all your videos. Thank you

[@revview5594]

Been on Keto & IF 28 months. I've found no negative consequences of testing flexibility, e.g., Keto ice cream as long as not satisfying cravings, nor from pizza (thank you for the recipe today), so seeing it in print, so to speak, really spells out how far we can go. The body needs to take a break from homeostasis and everyone's needs are different; unique not just to their own goals (e.g., weight loss vs weight gain vs muscle-building vs cellulite-reduction) but also to how their own body reacts. We thus owe it to ourselves to self-educate and Dr Ekberg helps us get to that level of knowledge.

Thank you for this video!! It is very encouraging. Hopefully, once I reverse my IR, I can occasionally eat some of the foods I miss on Keto. I'm very seriously considering the carnivore diet for a month or so to see how I do.

[@papadavewatson]

Don't make the mistake of thinking you can return to "normal" after reaching your goal. The people who say that keto doesn't work try to reach a weight and then go right back to what got them fat to start with. A "new normal" is what is needed.

[@ShanYalesTale]

"There's a comment section down below so you can vent and let it all out" 😂 LOVE IT Dr. Ekberg!!!

[@mts4611]

This was great to watch. I definitely know I'm on the right track food wise. I also eat the majority of the things listed here, with the exception of yogurt. I ate that so much when I worked in-office that now that I work from home, I'm burnt out on it so I've abandoned that one a bit. The homemade pizza - I was THRILLED to see you mention making it with tortilla. That's exactly how I've always done mine because its light and gives me that same thin crust type effect without worrying about all the grease and calories loaded onto one if I were to order it. I use 95% veggies and will throw pepperoni on there periodically. Still better than ordering it carry out.

I thought there was a lot of great data to suggest they promote longevity? Are fermented foods really that important? Thanks for the great and informative content!

[@DaHellCZ]

Great question, would love to hear the opinion on that too. From what I heard about beans, the way you prepare it is important. At first you should soak it overnight before preparation. Then there was some other thing but I don't remember and want to do a research on that. And for fermented foods, all I heard was they are all godly foods full of nutrients. So I'm surprised doctor is not mentioning that.
