Have increased my high fat foods, ( olive oil on everything, full fat organic milk instead of low fat milk etc.), reduced my wheat based foods, reduced fruits and increased vegetable and cut out all sugary foods like chocolate and sweet biscuits. ( Did not drink soft drink or eat ice cream before ). Never feel hungry. After a large keto breakfast this morning I missed lunch and just had a cup of peppermint tea instead. Not only do I have more energy, I also feel much brighter mentally. So does eating more saturated fats rather than eating less fat help you loose weight and make you healthier? Sure does! PS.

[@pierre4246]

You allude to this in the end and I think it is worth emphasizing. We can still eat carbs and lose weight. I have lost weight by doing 3 things: 1) dramatically cutting sugar and alcohol, 2) skipping breakfast every day and 3) go out for 40 minutes (at least) walk every day. When I eat, I still eat potato, pasta and cake occasionally. I also fixed my sleep apneas. It is not Earth shattering life changes, but, combined, they are getting me back on track to slow (~ 2kg lost per month) but steady weight loss. BP is down as well. Thanks for your work to educate people on metabolic science. This should be taught in school!

[@WhereRweNow]

Again, a well presented video. Love your explanations and simplifications of what our ancestral diets were and how our body functioned during this time compared to the introduction of grains and how carbohydrates is affecting us in an unnatural way - inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes...the list goes on....

[@skinnydee1886]

Dr. Ekberg you're the best! This is the greatest explanation ever! I'm a 63 year old woman, and in 7 days I'll be 64. I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighed 115 pounds before my diet. I've been type 2 diabetic for the past 18 years, 16 of which I was on Glucophage pills. Only 6 months ago I was taking 2000 mg Glucophage daily. I put myself on a low-fat low-carb diet and lost 17 pounds; I was already very slender, and had no weight to lose; now am very skinny with 98 pounds. I'm consuming many types of nuts, seeds, and lots of steamed vegetables. Every day I drink smoothies that were made with few fruits, lots of greens and vegetables. I eat chicken, eggs, lamb, and most seafood, and I drink lots of water. I'm very happy because I was able to stopped the Glucophage pills that I had been taking for the past 16 years, but I need to put on a little weight. Dr. Ekberg, please sir, can you give me some advice on how to safely put back on my 17 pounds, or at least 10. Thank you sir and God bless.

[@brzk1106]

Hi Dr. Ekberg, just wanted to let you know, that your knowledge, objectiveness on nutrition topics and the information you are giving people for free is incredible. With your help, I'm not confused anymore to lot of articles or youtube videos put out there from people spreading knowledge based on half-truths or opinions. I would love to hear your motivation why you are doing this channel? Wish you all the best.

[@flhtcui2]

Thank you Dr. Ekberg for taking the time to add to the discussion. Keto for me: lost 104 pounds with food and lifestyle change. Sustainable for the last 6 months. reversed type 2 diabetes, no more blood pressure pills and no longer worried about Cholesterol!! Never felt better. Keto on but learn about healthy carb refeeding.

My daughters and my husband and me did keto for only four months and we are getting healthier by the day!!!!!!! Thank you for another great video!!!!

[@ivermec-tin666]

Point of clarification. The body will not utilize fats simply because they are more abundant in your diet than carbohydrates; unless you have depleted your glycogen stores, which means that you are eating 5% or less of your total calories in the form of carbohydrates. This is a critical point, and the primary reason for practicing a ketogenic diet rather than a "balanced" diet. The objective is to condition the body to utilize stored body fat as a fuel source. This depends upon the mitochondrial machinery being in place, and the body will only build that machinery when it is necessary to do so. This is why there is a fat adaptation period when adopting a ketogenic diet.

[@MrDavidknigge]

I read this and it was like white noise in my brain. I don't hate you or what you said This speaks more about me than it does you. Have a nice day.

[@ivermec-tin666]

@@MrDavidknigge Was there a question? Where did I lose you? The point is this: the body will handle fuel in this order, in descending order of priority; 1) alcohol, 2) glucose, 3) carbohydrates, 4) fats. Fats will be tapped as energy stores only after the first 3 categories have been fully depleted. This is why combining sugar and fat in the same meal is unhealthy. This is why keto is fundamentally different from a "balanced" diet.

[@drekberg]

Thank you for your clarification. You are making some very good points, and I would completely agree with the fact that the body will not burn much fat in the presence of carbohydrate and insulin. However, it always burns a mixture of all fuel. You don't have to completely deplete the stores of carbohydrate before you burn fat it is just that insulin heavily/strongly pushes the balance toward fat storage rather than fat burning. I completely agree that sugar and fat together is a very bad combination. That is why it is such a joke when they do a study, by cutting carbs from 400 grams to 200 grams calling it a "low carb" diet and concluding you don't lose weight on low carb.

[@maaikewilhelmina1457]

And if there is not enoughfat left in the body, what should I do, eat more fats or go off keto?

[@ronromeo9914]

Thank you Dr.Ekberg, For your clear explanation. The ketogenic diet is not about losing weight,it is about healthy natural eating as our ancestors did. Losing weight is a by product bonus.

On Keto I stopped bloating. No diarea or constipation.I have reached an ideal body weight. My eyesight is better,sharper and vibrant colours like more pixels. I don't need to sleep as much. My mind is sharper. My moods are enhanced. Eating one balance keto meal a day, I eat less, quality and overall it is cheaper than mainstream diet. I have also an increased stamina and maintain a mental will extensively. Very obvious on long road trips. And thank you to have shown me the way to Keto.

[@rubyc.4311]

I’ve been on ketogenic diet for almost 3 months and have lost a little over 20 pounds. I like that it’s low carb and sugar and that it’s healthier. However, my only complain about it is that there’s a very limited allowed fruits and veggies to eat. I love fruits I grew up with that has high in sugar like mangoes and pineapple. Once I reach my goal weight, I would like to go on a healthier diet with no food restriction. I would stay on low carb and sugar as possible and have portion control. I hope this would work for me. Thank you for all your informative videos. I learn a lot from you🙂

[@davidmciver9483]

These videos harp on losing weight. After about 6 months of Keto, at 67, I am working hard to maintain my weight at my college level. I am never hungry and could easily go 24 hours without eating. I have stopped doing that level of fasting because I can’t lose any more weight.

[@lucyburr5516]

Do you watch Dr. Ken Berry’s videos? He has one in which he says that keto/carnivore diets are normative, meaning you lose weight on it if you need to. If you need to gain, you will. If you are at a healthy weight, the weight loss stops. (I haven’t been on it long enough to know!)

[@Ewaabb]

The first thing that dissapeared from grocery stores when Covid hit was frozen foods. Fridges were empty. There was plenty of raw foods still available. That told me a lot about what people eat...

[@joellenhousego4639]

The keto diet (clean version) has done wonders for me and my husband. I no longer suffer from insomnia, and my anxiety is vastly improved. My husband's hypoglycaemia has stabilized. We both have more energy and our moods have improved. I've tried a lot of things, including anti-anxiety medications, but didn't like the side effects. Finally, we have found a way of life that is healthy for us. It's not hard to stick to it, because we feel full and satisfied, thanks to avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, cheese, fish etc. I tried making a chocolate cake using stevia, but we didn't even really want to eat anything that tasted sweet. Sugar cravings go away quickly. And a good night's sleep has no price.

If the skin is dry that is the one time polyunsaturated fats are a good idea such as fish oil with some good essential fatty acids. For fuel stick with the politically incorrect saturated fat.

[@mitchbaker8989]

- Can't lose - Can't sustain - Not healthy All three of these have been preached to me by my doctor. I'm convinced that a large portion of the medical industry views keto as a threat. Do your research! Thousands if not millions of people are off all of their medications after committing to a ketogenic lifestyle, including myself. If you are considering keto, don't let the opinions of others deter you. If you commit for just 2-3 weeks, the increased energy levels, reduced appetite, weight loss, and mental clarity will give you all the justification you need. Let the results speak for themselves!

[@e.k.1215]

Great perspective on Keto, I eat some carbs to stay out of this diet, but avoid processed ones. Since I reduced carbs, lost and kept off the weight. I think fasting is a more important part of my life that regulates me over carb reduction. Thanks again for the great content and perspective.

I have been working with a nutritional therapist and that had helped me quite a bit but it wasn't until I started the keto diet four months ago that I'm down 20 lbs and my leaky gut and sibo have literally healed to the point where I can now eat eggs, milk and other foods that I was allergic to because of leaky gut. I'm probably not going to start in on the dairy or the grains because I want to stay healthy but I am excited about being able to eat an egg ! hallelujah thank you Doctor God bless you

So unfortunate that Drs. do not provide comprehensive handouts on lifestyle changes and video resources for Metabolic conditions. Instead, we have to stumble around to find gems such as Dr. Ekberg's videos.

[@kicknadeadcat]

I'm at a point in keto where I am fat adapted. I do a cyclical keto now. I eat small amount of carbs before I go to the gym and sometimes after. I bake my own bread and make my own pasta. I ferment the dough for at least 24 hours usually around 30. That way the enzymes can convert the starch to sugar which feed the yeasty boys. So I have my bread and eat it too.

I love your clear, logical approach, Dr. Ekberg. I do better on keto, but to your point, I still have two hangups: 1) research from older days that showed that saturated fat in the diet could be measured in the blood and presumably deposited in the veins within hours of consumption. 2) more recent studies by neuro scientists stating that saturated fat impairs the brain's capacity to create new neurons. I would be so appreciative if you addressed these two. Thanks!
