[@tammyd7400]

@drekberg Arsenic is natural too, but most of us would know that Arsenic is Poison . . . I guess we ought to think of Refined Sugar as Poison, too. My husband pointed at me when you said Withdrawls, LOL . . . Yes, my name is Tammy, and I am a Sugar Addict, and I have replaced a lot of my sugar with Erythritol products like Swerve Confectioner for baking and Swerve Brown for sweetening my hot tea. Lily's is my go-to for sugar-free Milk Chocolate morsels. But I am not sure if this is the best plan, because it still gives me the sweet pleasure . . . Then when I am around Mom, she has ice cream in sugar cones called drumsticks, and I eat 4-5 within 3 days . . . So I know I am on a sugar roller coaster, so like you said, the addiction mimics heroine addiction, and I keep riding the roller coaster. But since I quit using most white sugar in 2020, and I don't eat honey, agave, syrup, molasses, brown sugar, no fruit except strawberries, cut out bread, rarely eat potatoes, and only use bacon grease/lard or olive oil for cooking (no seed oil), I was able to stop using Naproxen anti-inflammatory and my A1C went from 6.0 to 5.3 in 2021. My doctor put me on a prescription of Naproxen for Plantar Fasciitis in 2017 after another car hit my car, and I thought the foot pain would never leave. But after I stopped eating sugar, starch and seed oils in 2021, I have no joint pain since stopping the seed oils and Wheat, and no Pre-Diabetes anymore since late 2020 after cutting out sugar in June 2020 when I turned 50 years old, and that was my milestone that I have to get serious for my health. Now I feel better than I have for years, and if I eat high carb for a few days, I feel the difference within 24-48 hours, pain comes back in my joints and I get a little sick to my stomach. Going around my family who DOES NOT eat Low Carb like my husband and I do is the hardest part. We can go out to restaurants and eat better than I do at my Mom's or Brother's family's house, so now sometimes, we pack a meal or two and eat differently than what they are eating at the same table . . . It makes a BIG difference, and seeing my family is still the BIGGEST CHALLENGE in what I see as a Life Change, NOT a 6-month diet until I hit my target weight. I have to do Low Carb until the day I die, but that's not bad, because I get a lot of bacon, cheeseburgers, snacks of cheese, steak, etc, so I am not going back to High Carb, because I like not having joint pain. And this journey all started with my husband saying, my Mom used to be a nurse and she asked me to look into whether I have Insulin Resistance, and this Dr. Sten Ekberg talks about that . . . So my first Low Carb KZbin video was "3x More Deadly than CANCER and Most People Don't Know They Have It." And we did your Online Course too!! You have saved our lives and we are spreading the word. Thank you from the bottom of my now healthy heart!!

I already did this, and it completely transformed my life in so many ways. I stopped eating processed foods altogether and now only buy raw, plant-based ingredients, preparing everything at home. So, what’s changed? I no longer have high blood pressure, daily headaches, diabetes, or knee pain. I’ve lost 80 pounds over the past 10 months. Anxiety and depression are things of the past, and I genuinely love vegetables now. I can taste fruits and veggies in a way I never could before. I also cut out salt, and I’ve experienced so many other positive changes. My vision has improved, my mood is rock-solid, and my mental clarity has quadrupled.

I am a 70 yr old male, who suffered from fatty liver. I had the problem for three years that i know of. Extreme Itching on my left arm every winter, and mild itching all over. Then one morning i was shocked at the colour of my urine, i checked the whites of my eyes, they were yellow. So after booking a Drs appointment, i searched youtube, and found Sten. In March of this year, i changed my diet, and my exercise, (or the lack of it) I took the cold turkey route, complete keto, no rice, pasta, sugar, potatoes or bread. No alcohol. Yes, i suffered keto flu, and thought i was in total liver failure. I developed pain to my left heel, to the point i could not put any weight on it. I also had pain in my neck and both shoulders. But, as my new found life style took hold, so the pains all vanished. I have lost 30 pounds in weight, my BP is normal and my resting heart rate is slightly above fifty BPM. Because eggs now play a large part in my daily diet, my eye sight has improved. I have Macular Degeneration to my right eye, but instead of a black hole in the middle of my sight, i now have colour. Yes, my vision is still blurred in that eye, but now far more tolerable. For years i suffered fainting type attacks just before lunchtime, but not since i cut out sugar. I no longer have to juggle exercise with meals, i get out of bed, and straight on my cross trainer for a hour. A coffee and a dog walk later, i have my 2 egg omelette breakfast, and then do a very brisk 5 mile walk. I used to have my meals at 1pm and 5pm. I now have a breakfast and dinner, but no lunch. I sleep better, and shorter. When i wake, i am up and ready to go, no laying in to try and make up for a bad nights sleep. After six months, i am now a little more relaxed with my choice of foods, i bought a loaf of bread about a week ago. It will be mouldy before i get to eat it, so i guess my bad habits have left me, and i didn't really notice. After this video, i will be adding some occasional fruit to my daily diet. If you are all wondering why i put such a large comment, then i can tell you, it is to show my gratitude to Sten for getting my death delayed, and my life back on track. Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much.

I love this information and it has helped me on my new path. I was diagnosed in august 2023 with a pre-diabetic condition, the next day I made the conscious decision to change my lifestyle. I have not stopped, from staying hours at the supermarket reading labels to watching info on line, I have completely erased sugars from my diet. I only buy foods that either help or that are borderline acceptable with sugars (-4 grams) and 6 months in, apart from having lost 25 lbs, I feel much better and I feel more energetic. Anybody can do this, all it takes is will power and focus. I don’t say that it was easy, but if you put your mind into it, you will succeed, guaranteed. Thank you

Dr Ekberg I just wanted to share my amazing transformation in only 4 Months. I’m a 53 year old male 6 ‘2. My Triglycerides were 1920 yes that’s correct 1920. My A1C was 12.9. My doctor recommended that I go on a statin immediately as my risk of heart attack or stroke was very high. I reluctantly agreed but I also started following your advice and went on a high fat low carb diet. I also swam for 15 minutes daily.I quit alcohol, bread, sugar and soda. After one Month my weight dropped from 248 lbs to 225 lbs. I stopped taking the statins after 1 Month as my fasting blood sugar was always in the 80’s. After 4 Months I was at 188 lbs. I returned to my doctor with my new bloodwork results. Triglycerides still a little high but now at 275. A1C at 5.4! That was 6 weeks ago. I cannot thank you enough for putting me on this path. I lost 60 lbs but more importantly I can almost keep up with my grandkids in a foot race again! My wife also joined me during this time and has had very similar result. I mostly skip breakfast and Lunch and eat chicken,wild salmon,grass fed beef farmed chicken eggs and grass fed cheese. I just do not feel the same cravings that I used to get with all of the processed junk.Looking forward to my next bloodwork in 6 weeks.

[@melaniemcgarry5271]

Hang in there! The best thing I ever did for my self 5 years ago was to adhere to a ketogenic diet! I lost a lot of weight(65lbs), my joint pain went away and my energy and general well being went way up. There are so many great foods you can eat that are simple to make and your taste buds really do change. I am now “ fat adapted”, so I can eat some carbs if I’m out for dinner at someone’s house or at a restaurant without it affecting me. I mostly use intermittent fasting now to reap benefits and stick to a lower carb diet. In my experience, everything Dr. Ekberg has said, is true, has been life changing for me and best of all, I’ve been able to make it a life style not just a “diet”. Be careful of all the “naysayers”! Some of my closest friends and family tried to sabotage my journey, but they all see how much healthier I am now. Good luck on your journey!👏🏻🙏🏼

It's worth persisting as I now get told my eyes are sparkling and I'm only been off sugar for 3 months. You will need to read labels as there is hidden sugar in places you'd never expect so you may end up cooking from scratch more. You can still have some alcohol but there are restrictions.

It can be hard at first for sure. But after you get into the routine, it becomes easier to go without sugar.

People ask me if I miss sugar, and I tell them that I ate a lifetimes worth of chocolate up until I was in my 40’s. I’ve been there, and done it. I don’t need to keep doing it anymore and I don’t miss it. Stick with it my friend. Your body will thank you for it.

Great job with transformation so far! HUGE accomplishments! The reason, if I may, you are struggling with sugar isn't will power, it's very likely gut disbiosis such that you have more "bad guys" than good in your digestive system. And the bad guys send neurotransmitters to your brain that SCREAM for sugar to keep them alive. The good guys don't live on that crap so they don't ask for it. So if you bite the bullet (again) with sugar and cut it out long enough your bad guys will be starved out to a degree that their messages for sugar no longer outweigh your good guys' messages sent to your brain for cruciferous vegetables. I kid you not! Just knuckle down on the sugar long enough and you'll shut off those incessant messages for it. Best to you!

Depends upon your health goals? If your seek loss of excess body-fat, sugar will via insulin STOP fat burning while filling your blood with so much sugar the body can not use it so it will be stored for future use, first in the liver then muscles then limbs/torso in a pattern to ensure balance and maintained mobility, the body is clever about such things.

I LIVE this challenge every single day. I lost 130 lbs the first year and I feel so much better in too many ways to describe, I have what feels like limitless energy and my mental clarity is greatly improved. My diet consists of mainly meats and salmon, eggs, some cheeses and a few pecans. That's it, I don't need anything else. I was diabetic, my bloodwork was a wreck with triglycerides over 500 and my blood sugar was out of control, A1c was 8.8 and blood glucose was as high as 600 at one point, even with 100 units of insulin and 1,000 MG of Metformin a day it would not go below about 130. Now my A1c is 4.9, everything else is where it belongs.

My diet is much the same as yours too, every day just scrambled eggs, salmon, broccoli and walnuts/pecans/Brazil nuts. Everything the body needs right there.

[@olivia8979]

When I started Keto in March 2020 the pandemic was a benefit to me in some ways. I wasn't going to holiday get togethers. There was no candy floating around the office. I could just make and eat my own food. Now 3/12 years later Thanksgiving is a breeze. I truly have no interest in eating the pies and sugary treats. I have no interest in eating all the carby side dishes. I think many of us truly do get used to it and do get to feeling completely fulfilled with the low carb lifestyle. So I hope you don't give up on the idea. You may have decided to eat sugar at Thanksgiving. You may decide to do it again at Christmas. But you don't have to do it every day in between. You don't have to wait til New Years day, Just do your best every day during the holidays. There is a very good chance if you stick with it you will stop making those decisions to eat sugar. You will feel and look so much better. Your cravings will be in the past. Next year it won't be difficult at all. BUT,nif you go low carb and then start eating all the low carb desserts and snacks you are not going to be able to get to that place where the cravings are in the past. It will be much easier and faster to get there if you don't go for the keto treats. Just eat real food simply prepared.

Perhaps you should reexamine your choice to be vegetarian. Ruminant animals have multiple stomachs, they can digest and make bioavailable the nutrients in plants. As a human being your cecum (a part of your digestive system) is not suited to make those nutrients bioavailable. It doesn't matter how many nutrients are in kale if your body isn't equipped to get it from the plant into your blood stream in a form your body can use. @@stefanflorin4240

Our son had reading problems. After two weeks without sugar he read his first book. As a family we helped him by following the same programme. I truly noticed the difference in my ability to concentrate at work. To this day our son avoids most sugars and notices the bad effect when he deviates from his regular eating programme.

Wow. That’s an amazing amount of weight. That’s 83 lbs. I’d be thrilled if I lost 10, but used to need 20 off, now it’s more like 30, almost 40 lbs. That’s how much I gained the past few years, I hate what happened to my body, but I’ve got normal blood pressure cholesterol levels and not diabetic….NAFLD? Who knows, maybe it’s why I’m so exhausted in the mornings, but then I’m super energetic evenings at if at the gym. Very energetic overall. But sugars and bunch of snacks are weighing me down this past few years. I can’t fit into any of my old clothes any more. I’m 40 lbs more than I want to be. So I think I’ll start on Thursday with cutting out sugars. It won’t be easy, wish me luck!

@@lovemagicandroadEl comienzo es muy difícil, te recomiendo comer abundante hasta saciarte, pero únicamente carnes y vegetales, guisados con grasas animales (gee, tocino, etc. No con aceites vegetales de cocina) una buena comida te permite ayunos de 8 o 10 horas, o brincar la cena hasta el día siguiente, con lo que terminas comiendo solo 1 o 2 veces por día sin pasar hambre, los primeros 2 días tienes hambre entre comidas hasta que tú hígado se acostumbra a consumir la grasa de tu cuerpo, pasado ese tiempo, el hambre es moderada y no va acompañada de ansiedad y necesidad de comer inmediatamente. Eso te permite terminar tu trabajo o actividades que distraen tu mente, y comer hasta el término de estas, hacer ejercicio también quita el hambre cuando tu hígado ya está adaptado a quemar grasa. No incluyas ningún postre, ni tortilla, cereales, ni ningún almidón porque las 8 o 10 horas sin hambre se convierten a 2 o 3 horas, si te da hambre vuelve a comer, pero únicamente carne y verduras que no eleven el azúcar en sangre, generalmente hojas, tallos y unos pocos frutos como el aguacate, los berrys, y el pepino. No comas frutas muy dulces ni la papa, la zanahoria, el camote, la remolacha, y los tubérculos que son raíces que elevan la glucosa en sangre y activan las hormonas del hambre Te deseo éxito y mucha suerte, la adición al azúcar no es fácil de controlar, pero los resultados valen la pena

I have been off almost all carbs over 2 years. Here's my observations: 1. Lost 6kg off a 64kg starting weight. I'm for the first time the same weight as I was when in college over 30 years ago. 2. I don't get hungry much. I eat 1 main meal and can eat nuts and drink vegetable juice for the other "meal". 3. When I do get hungry, it's a very slight feeling, like "hmm, l'd like some food" not "if I don't eat, I'll die!" 4. I have no food cravings. I enjoy my food, but I don't crave anything in particular, especially sweet foods. 5. Every bit of eczema I used to suffer badly from has cleared up. 6. Osteoarthritis that plagued my right shoulder so bad that I couldn't turn a steering wheel disappeared. Instead, I can now swim 40 laps in the pool. 7. I have not fallen sick in 2 years. I tested positive for Covid last Christmas, but had almost no symptoms except for a slight scratchy throat. I went cycling the day I tested (to my surprise) positive.

I stopped eating sugar and radically reduced carbohydrate intake to minimum 8 weeks ago. It was very hard at first, but after about 2 to 3 weeks all my cravings went and my desire for sugar and carbohydrate was minimal. I was then able to try the intermittent fasting and it was so amazingly easy. I just didn't feel hungry at all. I lost 25 pounds in this time, which was a really pleasant surprise for me as I have struggled to loose weight. My skin got better and my pain was reduced. But the last two days I regret eating just a little bit of dried fruit and all those old cravings have come back. Sugar is really so addictive. So I have to go cold turkey all over again!
