most amazing teacher i have seen so far and your, info has given me the guidance i needed to fix my metabolism and leave diabetes behind, and i am for ever grateful. thank you :-) now if i could only get over my 32 hour fasting limit... salt water doesn't help to shut up ghrelin any more and, i tried to cheat with doing a fat fast, but after i have oil's and or butter, an hour or two later i still feel hungry, i am currently doing OMAD on carnivore, i want to get to one meal every 48 hours and do this for a year in order to revers insulin resistance, any tip's?

Hey Sten, i am extremely thin. Almost underweight. But, i am also diabetic. Will OMADs still work for me? I fear further weight loss which I i easily do. I exercise regularly as well. Kindly advise.

I've been doing OMAD since 2019. There are so many benefits to eating this way. I have learned a lot about my body, nutrition and energy in doing so. I love it and definitely intend to continue this as a lifestyle. I used to think hunger would just get progressively worse and worse until eat, but the opposite happens. I no longer get hungry throughout the day. I've done away with the need to snack and I don't have to be a slave to fast food when traveling. Preparing food is a joy, now. I can put thought into what I eat and eat more deliberately. When I lay out my plate, I can get a total view of what I am putting into my body for the day.

Had a few tea cup and one coffee during the day and its ok, also excersise helps makes me last longer without eating. In terms of weight loss i went from 120kg to 76kg in like a year maybe 10 months but keep in mind it was after retiring from pro rugby eating 6 times a day lol, now im at 86kg looking muscular and feeling better than ever.

@walkwithme After a couple weeks I felt like I had a pretty good system down and it started becoming easier, but it wasn't really until 2-3 months that it really became comfortable.

Right on Doc! I went on a OMAD regime this time last year, I'm down >25lbs and sitting right at my ideal weight. My wife and I found that occasionally when meal time rolled around we weren't really hungry yet. Those days are when we skipped another meal and just waited 'til the next day (48 hour fast) to eat. That will absolutely break any plateau in weight loss and you'll start heading down again. This video is right on the mark!

Being a type 2 diabetic who has an enlarged heart and has had a heart attack and stroke, I am surviving quite well eating just one Carnivore meal a day. I am hardly ever hungry and rarely crave unhealthy foods. When I do get either feelings, I eat more protein. I realized that happens only when I haven't eaten enough protein that preticuler day. Once in a while, I add ounion, garlic, and cheese to my all protein meals. Not only has my weight and diabetes improved, but my brain fog is completely gone, and my energy level has also greatly increased. I love watching your videos because they truly follow my lifestyle.

I've been prepping my body into omad and I'm in the last stretch of doing a 72 hr fast. Because I prepped towards it, it's not been as hard.will revert back to omad to mix things up and then either do occasional 48 or 72hrs here and there😉

I started following 3.5 months ago after one video caught my eye. It had a screen shot with a tag “blurred vision”. I watched it and it changed my life. I can’t believe how beneficial the fasting has been. Lately i noticed how much sharper my mind it too. I was getting used to being forgetful. Now I’m actually surprised how well I focus multi-task. At 62 this has been like being reborn. Weight is coming off slowly. I have had blood work done and it’s better than ever. I’m fortunate that I didn’t have a lot of issues but the blurred vision is completely gone and I have increased night vision like I did when I was much younger. Thanks for what you provide in these videos. Life saving and life changing.

I find this fascinating the way our bodies expect/learn. I have never felt like eating breakfast, but as you said , people say you must eat breakfast. So I would make myself eat breakfast and would be hungry at work by 9/10 am. Since retiring and learning about fasting and the keto way of eating I never have breakfast and I am not hungry until about 2pm. I have lost about fourteen pounds (I am 140 lbs) and am happy with my weight. I am sixty nine and live in a second floor apartment with stairs, so I have to carry my shopping up two flights of stairs, which I can do, sometimes it makes me a bit breathless but I consider this to be my daily weight bearing exercise. Thank you for all the good information you give.

[@markwalker5543]

I’m going to make this short and sweet. For years I’ve exercised off and on I would lose a little weight, but once I stopped it would come back. My highest weight was 255 lbs. I’m 6 feet tall. Most people would not have considered me fat they would call me solid. I had 3 ahh moments, first I went to a gym for an evaluation the trainer said losing weight is more about what I eat than exercise, then a couple of years later I went to join a gym closer to home I thought I was in pretty good shape. The trainer had me do a few exercises I felt like I was going to puke up my guts. Then my doctor told me my blood pressure was a little high. These were my wake up calls. I’m not sure how or when I started intermittent fasting, but it was a total game changer. I went from 255 lbs. to maintaining 200 lbs. I notice my body would fight me at 200lbs, my goal was to get to 180, so 2 months ago I decided to cut sugar out of my diet no more cakes and cookies. I’m now down to 180 all of my weight markers are green except for my subcutaneous fat, I may need to get to 175. I would have never thought I could lose my gut (visceral fat) I have. I went from an extra large to a medium. My stamina has never been better. This is my testimony to intermittent fasting. P.S. I remember buying and drinking cartons of orange juice, never drinking soda thinking it was healthier. I’m so glad people can be educated on things that I was ignorant too. Thank you 🙏🏽 😊

[@Philantrope]

I like your explanations so much. Learning about OMAD was like a paradigm shift in my thinking about my eating behavior. Never thought this would be possible on a regular basis. I started doing this and after 3 days I can say: I'm not really hungry, I've lost 2.5 kg and I'm feeling better. So I'm planning to go on with this. Another habit change is to watch at least one of your videos a day to keep my motivation alive. Thanks & wish you all the best! ❤👌😊

Yeah but you don't really need medical supervision when you practice any kind Regiment of fasting... the reason you should not get doctors involved who don't understand the concept of fasting because they will tell you to stop. That's the problem with a lot of doctors he want you to be sick they don't want you to practice fasting.. example of a couple years ago there was a video on KZbin from the channel called the doctors there was a guy named Cole who had a very high amount of people who practice fasting and lost over 70 lb. Regardless of all the results these doctors kept saying that fasting is dangerous is dangerous that they should stop it.. the consulate did not listen to the person that was on the podcast they kept saying medical study medical study medical study that fasting is dangerous but they were referring to a study that never published not to mention it was never peer-reviewed about two days ago dr. Eric Berg actually discussed the study how it's completely absurd that people are using this study as an example to say that fasting is dangerous.. if you were to write a paper on fasting and you use that medical study you would get a big fat fail on your paper because that medical study has no information whatsoever all of it is is a abstract with no real scientific data attached to it

[@victoriastroud4820]

@@davidwasilewski I'll be honest and say that I got off the wagon a bit, but I'm back on OMAD now. I think having something to drink other than water helps. I like diet soda or a cup of hot tea with stevia. Keep your eye on the prize. Look forward to your one meal and incorporate a treat into it maybe. Like tell yourself, if you wait til your designated meal time to eat, you will get a small cookie or something as a reward. And be hard with yourself--if you mess up, you take that reward away. I find having a motivator like that helps me so much. Nothing I'm tempted by during the day seems to be worth losing my nighttime treat. Just figure out a system that works for you. I find it's easiest to wait til evening for my meal, rather than eating first thing or at lunch because eating just makes me want more later. Nighttime is always when I'm having cravings. So pick an eating time that fits you based on when you're most vulnerable to being tempted by food. Keeping yourself busy is important too. It make the time pass faster. I often don't even have hunger pangs unless I'm bored, not busy, or just thinking about food actively. Also, if I eat too late/too much, I will have hunger pangs first thing when I wake up, so I try to avoid that. I think just monitoring how your body reacts and adjusting accordingly is a good strategy. Good luck, it gets easier and easier the more you do it! It's really not that bad. It helps with self-discipline, which we could all use some more of IMO.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:29 🔄 *Hunger is a conditioned expectation based on habits, and the body adapts to changes at the cellular level by making adjustments in tissues, enzymes, hormones, mitochondria, and neurological pathways.* 02:13 🔄 *Change is not hard; it is inevitable and constant. The body is constantly changing, adapting, and making new synapses, even if you may perceive yourself as staying the same.* 06:49 🏋️‍♂️ *The body adapts to various activities, like increasing blood capillaries and red blood cells for endurance, creating calluses for guitar playing, or building bone in response to weight-bearing exercises.* 13:31 🍽️ *Eating once a day (OMAD) can lead to fat burning, as the body, in the absence of frequent meals, transitions to using fat for energy after initially burning carbohydrates.* 18:02 🔄 *After 30 days of OMAD, physiological adaptations occur, reducing hunger, improving metabolic health, and possibly resulting in weight loss. Blood glucose and insulin levels tend to decrease, reducing the risk of chronic degenerative diseases.* 20:44 ⏰ *OMAD offers time savings, stable energy, mood improvement, and increased freedom from a structured feeding schedule. It allows for more focus on creating quality meals and can lead to a positive impact on overall well-being.* 21:36 ⚖️ *Breaking plateaus in weight loss or metabolic improvements can involve incorporating longer fasts alongside OMAD. Experimentation with eating patterns should be based on individual needs, and adjustments can be made as goals are achieved.* 22:59 🔄 *Change is easy and inevitable. It is crucial to recognize that you have the power to recreate yourself, and maintaining a mindset open to change is key for long-term health and well-being.* Made with HARPA AI

With the greatest respect to all of the listeners, the information here is presented in a clear, concise and coherent manner. I think that collectively we can contribute by liking the video, all the best to everyone either way.

I used to believe I had to eat 3 to 4 meals a day because that's the way I grew up knowing . In my culture rice 🍚 & flour is a way of life used to eat flour in morning, rice for lunch rice for dinner 🍽 or flour sometimes . I'm sure I was pre diabetes even had some of the symptoms . See after watching yr videos 📹 I'm eating 1 meal a day & the thing is I'm not feeling hungry the way I used to I'm off the flour, sugar, rice & I feeling great . Many thanks to u Dr Ekberg 🙌 🙏 ...

Started intermitting fasting 3 weeks ago, starting weight was 344, lost 22 pounds so far, never thought the weight would come off so fast. Started the first week with 16/8 then, then the second and third week I was doing one meal a day and felt great. Getting much easier and am planning to keep on doing OMAD.

I stopped eating sugar in Sept '21, and have lost @ 30#, and near my HS weight of 141# at 56 yo. At 18:00 you mention less hunger when doing OMAD, and I agree. I'm eating more calories in that one meal, just to ensure I get enough nutrients, otherwise I'm forcing myself to eat twice. It's pretty amazing.

[@gykg3202]

I am Hungarian and its insane how my country is spelled almost like hungry. In fact one time someone at the grocery store asked me where my accent was from and replied that Hungary. She responded: “me? No I just ate” 😀

[@kaycee625]

Been OMAD and very low total carbs since August 2021 and lost 29 kgs. Reversed many detrimental health problems and feel much better. My family are all carb addicts and it’s been necessary to make a total mental shift. I’m seeing the benefits.

[@pratestv]

Only 6 months of healthy keto + intermittent fasting = 30 pounds (13,6 kgs) lighter and steatosis (NAFLD) changing from severe (level 3) to moderate (level 2). Thank you so much Dr. Berg, Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Jason Fung, you all have been so important in my life as source of real information/inspiration. I'm still at the beginning of this journey, but it is amazing to feel I am at the right path, at last.

[@galaxyofcorgi]

Great lecture. I have been struggling with pre diabetes inherited from my beloved family and digestive issues. I slowly introducing IF to let my body fix the GI issues and hope to control the diabetic situation. The guidance is excellent and well prepared. Thank you. ❤

Hi Doc This is my first day of the thirty day I’ve been doing two meals and already feeling much better. Thank you for all of your talks. I have MS and it’s been a journey to better health

[@carlbruhn1772]

Good Luck to you. First week is toughest. I used avocado every day to give a healthy fat dose to help ward off hunger. Works great.

Hi Hyacinth, my sister has MS and stubbornly protests that nothing can change her symptoms. Could you tell me if your symptoms have lessened? Thanks

Hi I am also an MS patient(the pic is not me ;-) . Do hou follow a specific dietwhile doing OMAD? Id be glad to learn more about your experiences.

[@johnthompson16]

If you have ms I recommend that you cut out all meat & dairy. Good luck!

[@KeanBurke]

Started intermittent fasting about a month ago at about 286lbs, 10 days ago I switched to OMAD, I’m now down 25lbs for the month. I’m 6’4 and my goal is 190-200lbs then add muscle to get to 215/220.

[@anniemac7545]

I have been Omad and keto for almost 9 years now. I'm 64 and I was pre diabetic before starting. I have maintained my weight loss and reversed my pre diabetes, and weigh the same as I did in my 20's - 52 kg. I believe your tummy has a memory, it expects food when it's been programmed to eat. I certainly feel more vital and bright. Humans have changed the food they eat thanks to food industry, and think back to prehistoric days we ate when we could, not at routinely three times a day.

Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for your videos. Since I stared my intermittent fasting journey in July I have ditched 40lbs. I feel so much better without the weight. Eating in the middle of the day and not in the evening has all but eliminated my Gerd symptoms.

[@Yeap3114]

Your way of explaining these things is simple and to the point. I sent the video to a friend of mine who says she can't sleep if she doesn't eat something.

I've been on low carb OMAD for 3.5 years and it's fantastic. Helps me to stay skinny without counting calories. Not to mention the health benefits.

[@robbyt5893]

What is low carb for you? Can you please tell me what carbs you do eat on OMAD? Thx.

[@KatieZeldin]

​@@robbyt5893 My meal is early in the day, it typically ends before noon. Also I exercise (not more than 20 min a day) and I do stuff around the house. So I let myself have 50-70 gr. carbs a day. Honestly, sometimes it's even refined carbs. But whatever they are, it's my cooking, never store bought. And I am very careful not to overeat them.

[@robbyt5893]

@@KatieZeldin Thank you. I am still eating too much rice and potatoes. And I don't weigh/count carbs. Maybe I should start doing that.

[@robhalverson1983]

I've been watching Dr Berg and you for a few months now. I started eating one meal a day since the day before christmas. That was about 3 weeks ago I lost 16 lb so far. But I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow I only weigh myself twice a week.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

It was really nice and efficient to switch to eating once a day. Took about a week for me and I generally feel very peaceful and low stress all the time for some reason. Significant weight loss if I eat zero carbs but it's tough to get all the minerals and salts. Either supplement or eat a huge amount of veges.

[@lizlou7601]

I love omad! No hunger full of energy! 55 here looking 25!

[@davidroberts6151]

I've been doing omad for a few months now. Started with keto diet and lost 65 lbs, then gradually moved my meals together until I finally just want to eat one meal. I feel better all day and my labs came back excellent. I've never had good results from blood work before and I am 54. I recommend low carb and 1 meal a day to anyone struggling with health issues.

[@guibox3]

Been doing OMAD-Keto for 5-6 days a week for the last 5 weeks. Never crave and rarely hungry, even when I don't get to eat as much as I would like for that one meal. What amazes me is how easily my body adapted. I was off keto for about 7 months eating typical SAD food. When September started I didn't even transition. I went bang into OMAD AND Keto and had no problems at all.
