[@theophilusconnor]

It’s “easy” to fix those issues: diet and exercise. 4 months of diet and a little more exercising and my weight dropped 220 to 180, blood pressure 140/90 to 120/80, blood sugar A1C 7.7 to 5.8, and cholesterol 220 to 160. I almost totally cut out bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, sugar, soda and fast food from my diet. I craved soda for a while, I remember that.

[@rmcf3972]

@@theophilusconnor what are you eating then?

[@theophilusconnor]

@@rmcf3972 Back then I ate mainly meat (very little beef, though), sardines, vegetables, eggs, fruit, and salad... often had a large bowl of oatmeal with dried cherries and walnuts for breakfast, a pound of steamed vegetables every day (no added salt or cheese or butter). No fried food, no french fries, no cheeseburgers ever. If I had pizza it was very thin crust and would toss away half the crust anyway. A few crackers and peanut butter for a snack. 2 oranges and 2 apples about 4 nights a week. Overall it wasn't too hard. I didn't starve myself, just ate less fat and carbs (diet was motivated by diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes). I'd say I cut my food intake by 1/4 to 1/3, and walked a good bit more. I lost 20 lbs the first month, then 20 more over the next few months. At 180 I felt light, but was also weak and kinda skinny - didn't like the feeling. I'm back up to 210 now, and eating a more typical, unhealthy American diet, including fast food and desserts and potatoes, etc.

I'm not a "conspiracy-thinker" , but seeing how much sugar is dumped in this world to all people, I start to wonder: WHY and to what purpose the industry keeps on doing this? Is it all just for the money? Is the sugar industry in fact also the owner of the pharmaceutical industry (and a hand full of politicians!)? I mean, is the solution to this problem brought to us by the same people that CAUSED all the health problems, so they can make money on both sides? Well, there's a thought!

If you really like a fizzy drink, squeeze a quarter of an orange or half a lime into a glass and fill it up with Soda water. Soda water has no sugar in it. I have a lime tree so I quite often do that with my limes. So if you drink a liter of fizzy drinks during a summer gardening session.... You've only consumed a single orange or a couple of small limes. The tart citrus is more refreshing than anything sweet.

Hello Dr Eckberg, we missed you. Yes, drinks are very tricky , have lots of hidden sugars and artificial ingredients.

Hi Dr. Sten, My name is Nizar and since I discovered your channel, I became addicted to your contents and the way of presenting the health subject made me realize many health factors and even how corrupted the food industry we live in all over the globe. What I would like to say is thank you for changing my mindset by getting healthy rather than thinking only to lose weight. This is really the secret that is hidden to most people. Being healthy is difficult to me before with all the temptations out there in every corner and in every occasion. People eat McDonald's now a days and order apple juice with the meal and they think they ate a normal nutrius meal. I have changed my mindset as it became the new foundation stone for the life style and I am really happy, why ? Because I don't feel deprived any more and even not hungry, instead more focused and healthier. All those past years we were living in an ignorance and watching our beloved ones get diagnosed by diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, cardio vasculaire diseases, and the list goeas on and on and on... Thinking that it is eventually every person path way and there are now ways to get out it or live healthy for the rest of our lives.

[@gingermonroe4153]

Wow exceptional post Mindset very good wording🎉

[@KoshN]

1. How about Bubly? I'm talking about regular bubbly, the kind with zero sweetener of any kind, and no caffeine. I prefer Blackberry, Orange, Lemon, Mango, Raspberry, etc.. Orange and Lemon are impossible to find anymore. 2. I was always used to having coffee with Cremora or Coffeemate creamer, and standard table sugar. I brew my coffee very strong, using 1.8 to 2.0 times as many beans as recommended, dark roasts, fresh ground right before brewing. In a 24 oz. Thermos of that coffee, I used to use 4 teaspoons of sugar and 12 teaspoons of creamer. Over the years, I've cut back to 2 teaspoons of sugar and 8 teaspoons of creamer. I'll have one of those Thermoses of coffee per day. I always preferred powdered creamer because it didn't make the coffee cold. 3. Soda - I prefer regular 7UP and Canada Dry Bold, both of which have high fructose corn syrup. However, AT MOST I have one 12 oz. can every other day. 4. Gatorade - I only drink regular Gatorade, Orange, 20 oz., AT MOST one a day and only that much on the hottest, most humid summer days. If it's not super hot and humid, the only reason I'll have it at all is to take it a sip with vitamins so they go down more easily. Gatorade seems to be slippery and causes vitamins to go down without getting stuck in my throat. 5. Iced Tea - I like Pure Leaf Iced Tea with Lemon, 16.9 oz.. It has regular sugar. If I have one of those, it's at most one a day. I NEVER drink what they call sweet tea because it's far, far, far too sweet for me. Other than coffee, of the things I listed above, if I have one kind, I won't have any of the other kinds. 6. Beer - I drink regular beer, e.g. Sam Adams Boston Lager or one of their seasonal varieties like Oktoberfest, Jack-O, Old Fezziwig, Porch Rocker, etc., and at most I'll have one or two of those before bed, and not every night. Usually it ends up just being one beer before bed.

One summer I got in the habit of having (original) Coke instead of coffee. I kept a carton of cans in the fridge at all times; as a result I drank 2-3 cans a day nearly every day. After awhile I started getting the most unbelievable muscle cramps that would come almost out of nowhere. Absolutely excruciating and unstoppable for several minutes at a time. Stopped drinking Coke. Stopped getting cramps.

[@HJC1950]

My guess is that drinking too much Coke or any soft drink actually causes dehydration which leads to muscle cramps.

Also, about 10 years ago I stopped drinking caffeine free Diet Coke which I drank for nearly 25 years!! Was so addicted I drank about 6-8 cans a day and yes it was mindlessly drinking. Disgusting. Also in January 2022, I stopped adding fruit juice to my filtered water and replaced it with fresh lemons and limes. That’s all I drink now all day and night. Along with other diet changes like avocado salads and Greek yogurt w fresh berries I’ve lowered my A1C from pre-diabetic 6.5 to current 5.4 over a span of about 2 years.

25 years ago, I was addicted to Diet Coke when it had aspartame in it. I had no conscious limit and drank many of them a day. Slowly, I started getting weak & shaky, almost MS-type symptoms. I ran into a researcher at work one day who was doing a paper about aspartame and it’s neurological effects on humans. I read the paper & decided to stop drinking Diet Coke. To my surprise, the neurological symptoms I had reversed in less than 3 weeks. I only drink water, coffee with stevia & real heavy cream (2 cups in the morning), or unsweetened tea. I’m convinced that all these drinks are slowly killing us in one way (sugar) or the other (chemicals).

[@dr.strange6458]

Do not use stevia, aspartame or other sugar substitutes as they are TRANS molecules which your body cannot digest; which means they produce free radicals..Free Radicals become cancer. The body can only digest CIS molecules such as regular organic sugar, however a healthy choice is brown sugar, but use it to a minimum. I learned to drink my tea with no sugar which I love and coffee with a little bit of milk. Cheers.

In my Country. (Mexico) drinking Coke is like you saif, a way of life. Back in that time when I was little, being so poor was a benefit for me. Because we drink coke in the one and only meal of the day, occasionally and we had to split it with my other siblings and cousins, so we didn't get to drink much. Here in the U.S. When I was young I use to drink soda, but just ocassionaly. I have no idea but I never really liked it. 5 years ago I started to drink more unsweetened tea and tisanes. I love my tea plain. No sweetener added. When I drink coffee I sweetened with stevia or sucannat, but I don't like it too sweet. My problem is that I love cookies.

When I got home and looked at the ingredients I found out there was actually NO almond in it at all Mostly sugar,and almond flavor ! Need to be VERY CAREFUL with this stuff ! Mike.

Thank you very much Dr. Ekberg for your free KZbin health videos. I hope you could make another version of your good and bad food healtn videos for us seniors. The version should be shorter (not more than 20 mins for easier retention of information. Less technical terms, shorter explanation and witn a brief text summary of the main information at the end of the video. Thank you for your consideration Dr. Ekberg. God bless !

I’m 65 and I can remember my grandfather telling me and my grandma when we was walking to the grocery store for her not to get one of them dopes I swear he called cokes and I remember him complaining that other people that worked around him drinking and things all day long and couldn’t do the job.

[@drekberg]

Thanks for sharing @stephendavidcavuoti6548. You come from a long line of wise folks. 😄

@@drekberg when was the last time you drank full fat coke?

[@danielwarpaint1963]

Because it was common to add Bromide to the drinks. People would feel tipsy but the real damage was to the thyroid. If Iodine is low, Fluoride, Chloride, Bromide or other Halides will reside there. We've always been poisoned for different reasons but it's much worse today.

My grandparents also called sodas dopes...of course my grandma remembered the time when coca-cola had actual cocaine in it, so the term was accurate when she was a child.

My jaw just dropped!

[@ericbibeau5631]

Great video. One needs to also highlight that such drinks are not only bad for your body but are sold in single use containers, so these chemical cocktails are bad for your body and the earth.

[@drekberg]

Thank you @ericbibeau5631. That's a good point. 😄

[@j.daniels7429]

Single use containers are not bad for Earth when used by responsible people.

A friend of mine dropped 60 pounds in less than a year. The only change he made to his diet was, he eliminated drinking Coca-Cola. But there was a problem. He had to buy all new clothes.

I had a real struggle to stay away from coca Cola, especially the vanilla edition. But now that i have changed my habit, and replaced it by water, the craving has gone away and i also lost a few pounds as well.

[@karenhill9495]

Yes it is addictive but when health starts to fail it is easier to quit the junk food and drinks .

[@VadimkaMr]

basically drink clean water .. and that's it

[@drekberg]

Good for you @VadimkaMr. 😄

[@swisstroll3]

Some water, or maybe it is sometimes, water is great. Other times not so much.

[@milenadivljak9387]

I drink filtered water.

[@milenadivljak9387]

With a little salt.

[@alanclarkson1921]

Thank you for this video Doctor. Very informative. I'm retiring, and want to get on a healthier course. I've spent 35 years as a truck driver, so you know my diet hasn't been good. I'm ready to start a healthier, happy retirement. Thank you again. Looking forward to more of your videos.

This is the best channel I have seen regarding nutrition. I'm 38, with following his videos and some knowledge I've had prior to these videos (which is congruent with what he says) I went from a blood pressure from 140/90 to just under 120/80 in over a week. Cut out all bad food overnight, I measured my blood pressure 5 times a day, I could see it fluctuate down-wards every day. For the last 3 days it has been an average below 120/80. I did have minor migraines and hunger pangs but I think that is just due to my body adapting not eating so much sugar and processed carbs.
