Hi Dr Ekberg, I've watched your videos on and off for a while now, even did an attempt at doing Keto after binge watching your videos for a while (lasted 2 or 3 months, but couldn't keep it up as it was too difficult socially). One thing that I find so incredibly difficult when trying to incorporate the excellent knowledge that you disperse through your videos, is figuring out what to actually eat. I'm a former lifelong vegetarian (now pescatarian as my body does accept fish), which of course is already limiting. Could you do a video about healthy options that I actually CAN eat and drink that is not too unhealthy? I've bought a Sodastream which I use to make sparkling water (which definitely helps me to drink more water and cut down on alcoholic/sugary/caffeinated drinks), but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to eat and drink instead of all the bad options in the supermarket (or restaurants for that matter). There's so many things that are unhealthy going by your videos that I walk through the supermarket/grocery store and practically don't see any options that I can consume! Life is too boring when all I can drink is water, and I'm completely lost at this point regarding what I can actually eat. No bread, no pizza, no pasta, no pastries, no sodas, no alcohol, no fruit beverages and not too much fruit... what's left beyond sushi? Thanks for your great content!

Got a message from the state of California saying that an inexpensive way of eating is by purchasing fruit and vegetables that are in season. The government makes life too expensive to live. The government will give you advice like go and eat the bugs.

[@rredding]

​​@@crazymonkeyVII For a vegetarian (even more so when you are a vegan) it is not too easy. I converted to this: I skip breakfast (intermittent fasting), My lunch or brunch: Yoghurt , Kefirwith strawberries, blackberries, or other berries. Sunflower or hemp seeds, a few spoons of wheat germ, and I mix it with healthy fat like olive oil, cod liver with its own oil or tasteless fish oil high in EPA and DHA. I admit I eat way more red meat than before and in some days it is my only meal. But you can get grilled vegetables or other vegetables. Eat plenty of organic eggs. Boiled or fried sunny side up, or make an English breakfast. But personally I absolutely would avoid being a vegan or vegetarian, healthwise, both for your own health and that of the earth...

@@buckmurdock2500 peer review process require you to submit your paper to a journal. He doesn't have a personal body of work for review, he takes existing works and presents them in a 'simplified' way (search NCBI for NBK545201 as an example). You can look up every point he's mentioned and you'll see works for and against them. The issues are usually methodology of the research. An example is that most research against saturated fat have their sample groups consuming copious amounts of carbs (see NCBI PMC8092457 ) with it and aren't done with individuals who are 'low carb' or in ketosis. It's only recently that these tests are being done with proper methods. (see NCBI 34796724, 34717669). As far as I can infer, reduction diets generally help, especially actions taken to prevent insulin resistance and processed seed oils and excess chemicals in foods aren't beneficial.

I'm currently in Asia and I decided to read my Asian friend's blood sugar one hour after she ate about four to five cups of white rice. I was astonished with the results! Her blood sugar was only 106dl 😮 where as if I had the same amount of rice my blood sugar would have been 250-300 dl. I've already lost one eye behind chronic metabolic dysfunction (uveitis, iritis, high blood sugar, fatty liver related). I don't wanna lose another one.

When I had some of my soup, it was so sweet I couldn't eat it. Only then did I look at the ingredients and found sugar in the middle of the list. And now when I look at ingredients I find sugar in almost everything. I have pretty much quit processed foods. I bought some bite sized frittatas which didn't have grains or sugar but I still found myself craving them after eating one or two. I don't know what the food corporations put in the food to cause this but I know they do it on purpose. The more we eat the more we have to buy from them.

I only eat Organic grass fed, free range chicken & eggs, low carb vegetables, plant based cheese & sour cream, purified water, tea, flavored water, and organic coffee. I don’t even look at packaged foods anymore. No grains, no nuts, no fruit, no dairy, etc. I do purchase primal kitchen mayo and ketchup. Learned how bad High fructose corn syrup is from Dr. Weil years ago. Also years ago stopped consuming anything hydrolyzed. I do the intermediate fasting. I do not over stuff myself. My BMI is in the lower normal range. My weight hasn’t changed EVER but I do still have this fat around my gut. 😡 Oh and I do walk almost every day weather permitting. For those days I can’t get out I have a rowing machine. Last A1c test showed 5.8 The best control I had over my gut and blood sugars when I went on a carnivore diet.

You'll be fine enjoying some tomato soup here and there. It's not a big deal like drinking soda every day or few.

[@Gary65437]

Great explanation of the food Americans eat with very little understanding of what it's doing to your body. I was reminded of the very sad early death of a young girl. A 21-year-old woman with a heart condition is dead after consuming a heavily caffeinated energy drink at Panera Bread that she may have believed was regular lemonade,

[@janetrobertshaw6487]

Sten you are a natural teacher. A God given talent.

[@maryannerivera285]

I learn so much from you. I avoid sugar, grains like the plague, keep carbs to moderate level, and am still pre diabetic. Trying to eat carbs now with some protein, fat, fiber like you recommend.

[@trudyhattendorf1821]

30grams of carbs or less might help you

[@michaelbarry8373]

If you are pre diabetic you should consume NO carbs if you ever want a chance to become insulin sensitive again. At this point that's about what it would take. Add some intermittent fasting too. You need Keto therapy I'm afraid.

[@buckmurdock2500]

maybe one day the light bulb will go on and you'll realize sugar and carbs are not the cause of your pre-diabetes. But then again, maybe it won't.

[@mettamorph4523]

Cut out carbs. No bread tortillas tacos pretzels rice quinoa oatmeal. No pizza. No potatoes. No box cereals. It's a challenge, no doubt, in this carb culture we live.

[@jcribbs9557]

One of the best videos in explaining the basics of insulin. This should be taught in High School so we understand how it works. While people are familiar with the word insulin and may relate it to diabetes, people have no idea what it is and how it works. I think understanding this makes choices of what to eat easier. You find out that you ARE really in control if you understand it.

[@GordyThomas]

A friend of mine calls French Fries 🍟 spoons 🥄🥄 for eating ketchup. That used to be me before I stopped eating it. 😅

[@debiwillis9045]

I feel like I'd fries are good, they need no sauce...but I rarely eat fries

[@itsjustme7487]

Try malt vinegar!! Yummy!

[@skeptical6307]

I make my own ketchup so it's not filled with sugar.

[@tjdeleon13]

Ew ketchup. My nephew loves ketchup. He told me it’s good for him because it is tomatoes. I said really? Let’s read the ingredients. He waited for the tomatoes in the list. It was the last thing and he asked me if it is still good for him with all the other stuff? Hahaha he is only 7. People just need to be educated

[@rodterrell304]

The only reason I eat fries , we all have different tastes, I hate alcohol and have no problem resisting it, but sugar , Now that is when I struggle. Easy for someone that dislikes something to tell someone else to not like it, but it’s easy for them.

Doc I have some cuestions. First of all, the harming part about coffe IS just the sugar that people often ads to It?. Second, What about hole grains?. I mean whole wheat or hole oats or rice, these are packed with Fiber and also have been consumed for thousands of years

[@prasannaperera5190]

About rice, ancient or traditional rice is hardly grown and consuming. Traditional eice can't grow in mass scale, and reaping time is more. High cost,. Because people get used to modern hybrid soft varieties. Traditional rice is not smooth and can't consume much. I'm telling with my experience.

[@MADDLADO1]

Great presentation doc, thank you for your informative uploads !!

[@akbananachucker2441]

Dr. Ekbert, you are the man. Can you please make a video for those of us that have dropped the weight but are still insulin resistant but want to keep doing intermittent fasting and keep our weight or maybe gain a few pounds because we have dropped too much but still keep trying to drop the insulin resistance? I've been buying tallow at the store because someone suggested to bring the fats up but it's not grass fed tallow. I'm afraid I'm doing it wrong. I was adding a small amount of rice but i stopped because I want to fix my insulin resistance. I'm begging you, please. Thanks so much for what you do.

[@Poker_Pirate]

Great video Dr Ekberg. I have already learned all that you’ve stated and try to follow your teachings. It’s a terrible thing how these companies just want to keep feeding the nation “Sugar and other unhealthy products” just to keep making money for themselves. Thank You for your videos and concern to help us become better healthier people.

[@Killerkarotte1]

Bla Bla Bla. Are you seriously so gullible? Dude's not even a medical doctor.

[@jdmosaics]

I wish there was some form of regulation on how much sugar can be used in products… it is detrimental to humans and costing the World Health billions of dollars in health care…. I saw the other day Sprite is now making a sugar free Lemonade but it has caffeine added! Really ridiculous!

[@jdmosaics]

@@Killerkarotte1he is much more knowledgeable than your expert advise I am guessing? 🤔

[@nygrl6102]

[@MsLilyPickles]

You have literally changed my life and the lives of my children with your educational content. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

[@SpamMouse]

Although you didn't highlight in detail humans are really poor at differentiating real-hunger from thirst and will often eat when they just need water. Sadly the fast-food choices are never salad (laden with water) and often carb-based thus creating a desire for more water that is given more food. The lesson I applied when re-learning about food has been drink more water and treat a bulk of manufactured food items as not-fit-for-human-consumption. Have great weekend Dr Ekberg.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Yeah, if I'm stuck somewhere and haven't had food all day, I usually go for diet soda and a lettuce wrapped A&W burger. It's not the best, but it's liquid without sugar, and protein and fatty acids from grass fed cows.. could do much worse.

I ate all of these in my 10-30's. Compound that with skipping meals and sedentary lifestyle. I'm now 33 without a gallbladder. It had empyema and was a Merezzi type. Too late for my poor gallbladder but I can still save my liver! I'm like a baby all over again as it looks like everything I know from nutrition from my medical background is wrong, or at least half-truths. Your videos help me get a more informed opinion on what I should do about my own body. Thank you so much for your videos,

I am starting my venture into weight loss. No doubt, sugar will be hardest to cut. Hopefully, sugar substitute in coffee will be ok. This guy is great. Learning so much.

[@HuFlungDung2]

I'm suspicious of these sparkling flavored waters that are becoming so popular. Since they apparently contain nothing but water and natural flavoring, but nothing is shown on the ingredients list, I suspect they are 'rounding down' this natural flavor. I've heard elsewhere that natural flavor could be glutamate based, like a derivative of aspartame or MSG. So how would we find out what these so-called natural flavors are?

[@luluperlamillado6271]

My blood glucose level is lower since watching your health tips and lost considerable weight,feel healthier and have more energy.Thank you Doc.Sten Ekberg.

[@grovermartin6874]

Dr. Ekberg, many years ago I read a study that suggested that we accumulate all the adipose cells we'll ever have very early in life. The idea was that weight gain consisted of each cell enlarging, versus adding more fat cells. Given my huge appetite and low fat body, that made sense for me, because our mother put just enough food on the table to take the edge off hunger, but never enough to feel full, as pointed out by a friend. What have you heard/read about the idea of adipose cell numbers?

[@dianetrue2396]

Fantastic explanation of these unnecessary evils. Keep them away and thrive!!❤ thanks Dr Ekberg. Your presentation is awesome 😊

[@robertmuntz799]

Dr. Ekberg, Thank you so much for this video. Very informative.

[@leighearnshaw8353]

I love the way Dr Ekberg speaks, he doesn't sugar coat it, excuse the pun, and everything makes sense and can be cross checked. He puts it in a straightforward way and does not sensationalize his language like so many 'experts' on YT. He spells it out without condescension. This lifestyle is so easy to maintain, and shop for, now i avoid so many isle in the supermarket its great. Haven't felt hungry yet...😁

[@tammyd7400]

I didn't see Fruit Smoothies on this list, but I would put Fruit Smoothies on the "Soda" list #1 Worst Violators. There were things in here I hadn't even thought of yet, so thank you, Dr. Ekberg!! Always thoughtful, educational information in a well-presented platform. I recommend you to friends and strangers all the time!

[@tammyd7400]

I've told coworkers and people in the grocery store about your 3x Deadlier than Cancer and Most People Don't Know They Have It (IR) Video to over 30 people since I first saw it in 2020. I turned 50 years old June 2020 and knew I had to change, because I was on the way to Diabetes because I did a slow creep over 20 years, up to 6.0 A1C. I believe you Saved My Life. I have been at 5.3 to 5.4 A1C for almost 3 years, which means that I am avoiding damage to my internal organs!! Thank you, @DrStenEkberg!!

Also, most of the sugary sauces have Maltodextrin. Maltodextrine has twice the glycemic index of sugar! Sugar glycemic index is 60, Maltodextrine has a glycemic index of 110! It spikes insulin doubly!

[@denisruskin348]

I'm glad you explained the ''Athelete in his/her 20s'' part. I would go into that category as I excercise daily, sometimes even twice, but then I also like chocolate, candy, pastries. I know it's unhealthy, there is no doubt about it, but seeing that it affects me less than say a 50 yo mildly obese office worker without excercise does help morale. Nevertheless, I should cut more on these types of food, but I already reduced the amounts I consume, so that's a good start.

So here's the question; grains/carbs-Are all grains not good? Example: I make the small bran muffins. All Bran buds, wheat bran, oat fiber, oats, wheat flour, ground flax, unsweatened applesauce, 1/4 cup molasses, spices. Works out to a ratio of carbs to fiber 4:1. I say very healthy-what do you say?

If you want condiments but don’t want sugar, chemicals or artificial sweeteners, try primal kitchen products. Organic too. I’m not an employee or sponsored, nor do i use them all the time, it’s just a suggestion that i know is a good choice. I’ve been completely added-sugar free since 2019. Also oil free, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. My blood work has been incredible. HappyNew Year! You got this!

I eat organic, steamed vegetables most meals including breakfast. I use vegan mayo, organic tahini, olive oil, etc. I also include hemp and flax seeds. I also eat a soft-cooked egg for breakfast. I make bread with coconut/almond flour. I put in spices, nuts, seeds and sometimes Lily's 55% dark chocolate chips. Plenty of KZbin recipes.

[@TheFriscoBassAce]

I've cut out ALL of those bad foods with the exception of bbq sauce that I cut with water to make a thin baste on the rare occasions that I grill some chicken legs, and 95% Cacao dark chocolate that I have as a treat for the potassium.

I have a short sad story. Back then when my daughter was in school. Ok, this was not the high school no, it was the small school ok the students was around 10 years young. Ok, she got to be the class president. Ok, I never went to school in the US and this was now in CA. So ok, one day my daughter asked me to go with her ( ok, I had my day of ) from work but ok, so I went with her and we stopped at the Safeway to get like 2 boxes of donuts. I asked her that why are you getting donuts, she answered and said, this is for the students who don't eat brakefast at home so they eat donuts and drink coke for breakfast. And I said, do they eat and do you pick up these donuts like everyday so they can have this to eat. And she said yes dad, they eat this like everyday................................wow, I was chocked ! I never have seen or heard of a thing like this. I grew up in Scandinavia eating oatmeal, with bananas eating healthy7 food at home and even in school we had like home cooking. Dr. Ekberg knows if he grew up in Sweden and went to school there so anyway, I was chocked. And thank God that my daughter did eat at home her breakfast and healthy her growing up. So sad for so many American kids growing up eating junk and so much sugar etc etc. Ok, it is what it is every country has it's own whatever that means. Very sad.

[@thommyrubin1866]

A bowl of whole milk, green peas, beet root, leek, garlic and a pinch of salt instead of cereals for breakfast. Add some boiled or scrambled eggs on the side.

Tjena! Sten: it seems that most of your advice is targeted at US and US manufactured foodstuff for the domestic inland market. However, a lot of these is not even allowed sold or to be imported to Europe fro resale because of disputed additives. Even inside Europe there is more restrictions within, depending on national rules about... amount of additives and allowed amounts of steroids, pesticides, antibiotics. It is a jungle and gives the impression that ALL "powdered. preserved, concentrated" etc. food in shop is bad. Well a lot is.. ie Greek cheeses is so chocking full of steroids and antibiotics that you if you were an athlete you would fail a doping test eat that crap but far from ALL is so. What I suggest: Another thread about how to make and eat the same important food thing by yourself and both save money and health! Would not that be nice?

I learned a lot today!I always do with your videos.When I earned a B.S. inn dietetics in the mid 90's, the low fat craze was in full swing and later , as a W.I.C. nitritionist, the base of the food pyramid was carbs. ( It's even worse now. I hear Froot Loops are included now!)The diabetic diet was low carb and low fat to prevent heart disease, but I argued that fat and protein mitigate the blood sugar spike from simple carbs. Somehow, with all those nutrition and biochem classes, I totally missed the point about the fact that it is insulin which controls the storage of fat as well as carbs. Thank you.
