I just had my yearly checkup with labs after being carnivore for a little over a year. My blood work has never been better. After more than a year of eating nothing but beef, eggs, and butter. Full of saturated fat. Sometimes a dozen eggs in one day along with 5-6 pounds of ribeye steak, snacking on butter from time to time, and cooking beef fat trimmings. My total cholesterol dropped 17 points. My HDL went up 10 points. My LDL went down 25 points, and my triglycerides went down 113 points. My kidney function improved from 80 to 90. In that year, I lost 150 pounds, reversed type 2 diabetes, reversed high blood pressure, reversed low testosterone, and no longer suffer from autoimmune arthritis issues. I was also able to come off all medications.

​@@drekberg Thank you so much for all your videos, Dr. Ekberg. You are one of a very few whose info I trust completely, and bc of your incredibly clear teaching style, I have learned so much from you! And bc I live in NC, I am also hoping to see you in person at your new clinic sometime this year, if I am unable to reverse everything on my own (with your helpful videos & others, ofc.). I have one really important question to ask you, however, before I can feel confident going forward. There is a heart doctor I once had great faith in bc he taught me about lectins, which started me on the path to healing from my arthritis! But he has been pushing the idea for a couple of years now that beef, lamb, and pork ALL contain some kind of "sugar molecule" that in our blood streams leads to heart disease, strokes and even cancer; that it ISN'T saturated fat that has been the problem, ofc, but this sugar molecule instead, after all! And I don't know what to think about this bc I have never heard another carnivore or keto doctor or influencer even mention it, let alone refute it. And it is hard to believe he would jeopardize his own reputation by misrepresenting it! And the lack of anyone refuting it only heightens my concern! So I am appealing to you to please mention this in a future video, or even devote a short video to it, if you have any evidence to invalidate his claim. Your help w this would be very greatly appreciated! I will say, however, that I find it highly suspicious that the only meats that supposedly have this molecule are the ones eaten most commonly, but not goats, bison, elk, etc. Isn't that strange? It's almost as if the animals themselves, or their feed, have been genetically modified to create this problem and force the claims about red meat being cancer causing to be true. AND why would that doctor be the only one who knows something about it? Anyway, again, thank you so much for ALL you do, and thank you for your kind consideration of my request.

I knew I was overweight, and i was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March this year. Because I had watched a lot of your videos, I made a complete dietary change. I wouldn't call it keto per se, but close. I got rid of all carb based & sugar filled foods from my pantry, fridge & freezer (I let the kids have it all), no more grain products etc. I have found a low carb bread but I only eat a couple of slices per week, and some low carb crispbread. I eat eggs, bacon, beef, lamb & chicken, full cream milk & butter for the most part. I had another round of bloodtests done in June and my blood sugar had dropped from 6.8 to 4.6, liver and kidney function were back to normal ( I had previously had fatty liver issues), no protein in urine sample, cholesterol normal. I have lost 12kg in the three months, and hope to lose some more, plus my blood pressure is back to normal. The only downside is that to eat healthy, whole foods is WAY more expensive than convenient fast foods, but I have become a compulsive food label reader just to see what is in my food.

The Doctors were confused when I told them that my improved blood work was not as a result of taking my med but because of me looking at my insulin resistance, intermittent fasting and removal of sugar and seed oils from my diet. Of course they objected to my stopping meds firvthe past 3 months but when I showed them my personal chart, BP moved from140/90 to an average of 124/ 80 and cholesterol 283 to 172 consistently, they took note. I also moved from 173 lbs to 160 without exercising. I just need to make time to exercise for maximum benefits. I have been sharing your posts to most of my friends and some started and are amazed. I am 62 years old and feel like 26 again. Thank you for changing my life and my mindset. May God continue to bless you richly for your marvelous work. Mybprofile pic is me, never did cosmetic surgery or any other procedure. My skin and hair is better than ever I feel great.

@Nancy-ko2zv yes I ride my bicycle everyday... cause I'm old (57) and I need some activity. I eat 3 eggs for 1st meal of the day... 3 hrs later I have an avocado... 3 hrs later I have grrek yogurt with berries... for dinner I have protein and a vegetable or two... always something green leafy... if I'm still hungry I'll have some of a large arugula salad. If I'm snacks I'll have nuts and raw vegetables with Greek yogurt as a dip. I've just started (this werkend) doing 1 tblsp apple cider vinegar in water 30 minutes before a meal. It sure curbs my appetite! I concentrate on whole foods... protein and lots of water. I stalled too... but the scale has started moving again.

Thank you for this!!! For the past several months I have been eating a certain way that seemed completely crazy to my family...but it worked for me. I'm 53, have had a series of injuries over the years, and am required to perform heavy physical training for my career. By trial and error I ended up eating certain foods at a certain time...and the results were dramatic. My post workout recoveries were night and day from past...I didnt even feel like I had been at the gym the day prior! This was huge coming from someone who has had an injury seemingly to every part of their body over the years. And the timing for eating also just worked out per my work schedule. And now FINALLY I know WHY it all works!!! Yup! Its eating pretty much exactly what you show in the vid...and I eat once a day! LOL! I have sent your vid on to my family members and friends who thought I was nuts / but at the same time when they see me / the build of my body...I'm doing something VERY right!

Этот случай является исключением из общего правила.

[@RobCLynch]

Same here. I've been keto for three years and I fast for 19 hours every day. If everybody did what I did, the food industry would collapse, because I don't buy 98% of what the supermarkets sell. I lost 103 pounds in the first 10 months and I've kept it off ever since. If I go on holiday for a week, I'll relax slightly for that week - though I remain sensible. On my last three all-inclusive holidays, I've gained 5 pounds of weight and lost it inside two weeks once I've returned home. If I was to sum it up, I would say that my body is at peace now and that I am eating what it was designed to eat. The added bonus is that I literally avoid the cost of living crisis, because the food that I buy is deemed as high fat and unhealthy and is thus avoided by most people in the first place. Keep up the good work and keep sharing.

[@nevastrong2850]

Agree on the cost of food. We cut out many items & our grocery bill is much less. I used to eat chips every afternoon when I got home from work.

[@maldy4604]

I’m starting to see my 6 pack after a month of eating nothing but fatty foods with salt, protein and very very low carbs. The most carbs I’ve had was a little over 30 grams but I strive to keep it under 20 grams. This result was also due to an hour of exercise about 4-5 times a week. I’m a mechanic in the military. For pt, I bike to our company (about a mile) I also bike to work which is about a mile there and back. A mile to the gym and back. With all that said, the results are also, my skin looks brighter, my anxiety is practically gone (I’ve had 3 anxiety attacks in my entire life. 2 resulted to a trip to the ER). I’ve also had trouble sleeping due to hyperventilating before going to bed. That changed after eating carnivore. It’s definitely a life changing experience.

[@Samzo2002]

Funny you say this, I’ve noticed this as well when I eat fatty foods and a high animal based diet I’m so calm. I’m guessing the fat replenishes the nervous system and makes it strong so you feel no fear.

[@brianpaul98]

@brianpaul98 0 seconds ago A lot of what you're saying on the carnivore diet is because you cut the sugar. I started the carnivore diet at the beginning of November and I have nothing but good results. If nothing else cut the sugar that's where all the anxiety and lack of focus comes from. Stop for a minute and start looking at everything that contains sugar and keep in mind you should ONLY be eating about 25g a day.

[@not_glad]

One interesting little nugget I found out through experiment, and please note this isn't the holistic effect but a part, is you tend to consume more choline on this diet. I didn't really know anything about choline before but it truns out is really important for brain function, there's quite a lot in eggs and meat/fish. I now keep a back up choline supplement incase I'm not able to eat those things for any reason, it completely eliminates brain fog (at least in my experience).

I stopped everything, sat on the couch playing video game, watching KZbin videos (not this one, obviously), and just staring into the abyss of the internet. I ate and drank anything that could help get me numb. I pretty much gave up. I became obese and am on BP meds and recently started cholesterol meds. I was trying to start back at the gym, but my knee is arthritic and I can't walk on it for a long period of time - hoping the new way of eating will help a little bit, and one of the worst things - edema. I get up all through the night going to the bathroom now. I have been eating "right" for about 1.5 weeks, and in that short amount of time, I am feeling better. I have to keep going. I want to get on the IF, but I am not good at that - yet.

My husband is down 12 pounds (he started mid-March). He's off his blood pressure tablets and his anti-coagulant - he had 2 separate clots in his lower leg. This way of eating is fantastic.

I finally started changing my diet from a standard American diet to carnivore in January. I went straight into one meal a day, but I still had my daily energy drink which I was already phasing from a high amount of sugar to just sugar alcohol, but eliminated anything other than water after about a month. I'm a bit over 90 days in and I've lost about 50 pounds. I eat primarily steaks and I get some bacon once in a while. I'm fitting into shirts from when I was in the 82nd Airborne (2000-2004). I know at my peak the VA had me at 251 in my street clothes in June 2020, but was probably around 230-235 when I changed my diet. This morning I am 184.7 lbs. My blood pressure has also dropped dramatically from 147/91 to an average of 105/76. I have to admit, one of the main reasons I decided to go all in was because I watched several of Dr Ekberg's videos explaining how the body uses the foods you eat and what it really needs. He breaks things down more than probably any other channel on KZbin. Combined with information from several other Drs on KZbin and other people on the carnivore diet, I had to try it. There is absolutely zero chance I'll be returning to a standard American diet. A friend of mine was intrigued and she's already down 11 lbs and about 20 points of blood pressure after a little over 30 days. We really need a proper study on Keto/Carnivore so we can reverse 50 or so years of misinformation on diet because we are definitely not getting healthier as a society trying to follow the guidelines.

Dr Ekberg I have been insulin resistant for more than 2 decades.. When I was 23 I had a pituitary tumor that was removed. My body has always been an endocrine wreck. I didn't understand any of this until I started listening to you. Doctors keep telling me that there is a connection between insulin resistance and female hormonal imbalance. It even causes PCOS which I suffer from. I've had endometriosis since I was 13 and I'm 43 now. The hormonal imbalance due to insulin resistance even caused anxiety and depression. Despite all of these things I had two babies. But I've been sick most of my life. I have known many Doctors but no one like you. They cannot compare. I'd love to hear your advice for us ladies on female issues. What dietary plan do you suggest to keep our hormones in balance... To prevent estrogen dominance causing endometriosis. There are many women suffering from it. Are there any foods we should avoid that create a greater risk for breast cancer? How does hormonal imbalance due to insulin resistance cause PCOS and changes in female brain chemistry? What is the difference in Keto for men and Keto for women? Will you please do a few videos on these? You are the most brilliant man I ever came across. Thank you for being such a wonderful man. We all adore you very much.

I started Keto in March. Not only am I down 25 pounds, but I am sleeping better, and I have a ton more energy. I have never been a huge sweets person, but I loved bread and potatoes.

My husbands doctor is so worried about cholesterol numbers-it’s irritating!? Many blessings for being willing to experiment on yourself!!?? You are loved!!🥰

Hello Lil Crafty 👋… How are you doing?😊

[@timshepherd4626]

Dr. Ekberg for president! This mans wisdom and ability to explain it in a way ordinary folks can understand is life changing. Great job sir, keep the smart health tips coming!

[@bellaaustralia7815]

Dearest Dr Sten. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication, I appreciate you. I am trying hard to eat your way, it makes sense of course. My addictions may be years of working through to eventually win but will win in the end. Regards Bella

[@angelfriend3710]

Thank you for this video Dr. Ekberg. It is important information because I tend to quit my ketogenic lifestyle when I go on a two week vacation to visit family. I eat out a lot, and I'm not careful because I do keto all the rest of my year. This video made me a little scared. I'm not thinking about how all that is hurting me, so thank you for changing my focus about vacation eating. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@drekberg]

Thank you @angelfriend3710 😄

I do the same but I still fast 16:8. I cant go to like India and not enjoy the curries and street foods. I just eat small portions and skip rice or bread always. There is ghee in everything.

[@Futura2500]

I do exactly the same on vacation normally to Greece, i can't not enjoy all the greek food, so for 2 weeks i always break Keto/ low carb im not changing that tbh. also going to cornwall in June for 5 days - have to have a real cornish pasty and cornish ice cream, cream teas etc.

Ty for your videos! They are very helpful & educational. I fasted 7 days ,drinking water, zero cal sparkling water, & 2oz pickle juice each day. I need to lose weight & keto was hard to stick to. It's much easier for me to fast than to stick to a perm diet. Anyway, the 7 day fast kick started me in the right direction. My addiction for high carbs almost completely went way & much more manageable. I'm allergic to wheat! With 30min walking, I lost 2 lbs a day. Then, to end the fast, I had avocado, kimchi, chicken broth & a tsp of peanut butter spaced apart. I feel much better & have less pain all over. Pants are roomier & I now feel I can stay on keto. Ty again!

I have reduced my A1c from 74 to 38mmol since the new year following a Keto, OMAD and varied fasting lifestyle - I have so much more energy and have lost 3 and a 1/2 stone. So it really does work - thanks to you and the KZbin Keto community for saving my life, feet and eyes! 😊❤

[@mariaberry6874]

Thanks for doing these experiments. I have been low carb for a year and carnivore for a month. Never yet had ketones over 0.3. Your health must be amazing. Congratulations. I am inspired to keep going.

[@BeefNEggs057]

Try fasting or the sardine fast. Eat nothing but sardines for 36 hrs (time starts on the first can). Also Bulletproof MCT oil in your coffee. Be sure you don’t have sneaky carbs like creamer or anything with Maltodextrin. Most keto products aren’t actually okay to eat if you want high ketones and weight loss/autophagy. One other thing. Be sure you add fat to your meat. High protein just converts to glucose giving you and insulin spike and ketones go down.

[@dodyh657]

​@@BeefNEggs057 Why sardine fast? What ITS correlation with ketones production?

[@BeefNEggs057]

@@dodyh657 Well, it’s zero carb, high fat fish that has all the omega 3s you need in 1 can and your sure as heck aren’t going to overeat them but you can eat a can whenever you are hungry. Overeat anything and you get an insulin spike (kills Ketone production). Man it worked for me. Hot sauce is your friend. Be sure it doesn’t have sugar in the ingredients of course. You could do a water fast if you’re up for it but most people aren’t there yet. It’s an intermediate step perhaps. Sardines are definitely a super food to eat anytime though. Best kind of fat known to humanity.

[@martinepeters9891]

​@@dodyh657 please hop over to Dr. Boz her channel to learn more about WHY sardines will do the trick to bump up your metabolism and ketones. Long term low ketones can be caused by too high cortisol or too high protein and thus too much gluconeogensis.

[@martinepeters9891]

​@@BeefNEggs057 the sardines have the highest short chain fatty acids and create ketones by the liver without any delay in other body systems.

[@diydiva3190]

the first 3 days after starting Keto I was sick with withdrawl from carbs and sugar.. Now I feel great, it's only been two weeks so mostly water weight is gone but I'll keep it up.

[@jbr84tx]

I've always heard, and it makes sense to me, that eating a lot of saturated fat - fat that is solid at room temperature - will clog your arteries, just like it clogs your drain pipes. So too much bacon fat and butter causes strokes and heart attacks. Has this been proven untrue?

[@JohnPiperBoots]

@jbr84tx - So what is the takeaway? I too have been taught high sat fat causes this disease but Dr Ekberg has demonstrated that Keto diet, high fat low carbs have positive results on health overall. I am leaning towards Dr Ekberg's research. What say you? Thanks. The markers before, junk food and then after results prove truth for health. IMO 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@canobiggs]

Thank you for doing such great research by experimentation on yourself.

[@jtsra7]

Dr. Sten have you already done a video on what happens to a person doing "Cheat Days" yet? One day where they claim even eating on keto, we can eat anything, like Dwayne Johnson's cheat days with extreme amount of carbs. Can our body really truly handle just one day of eating a diet like that every week?!
