You're 😊
@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 CZcams 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!!
Has anyone spotted a negative response to this yet? I can't find one!
Now I can't even read all the comments without joining. So many things I would love to listen to, and everybody wants money. I understand that it costs money to do this, but there are still lots of commercials throughout the 30 minutes. Very disappointing ☹️
@@gordonmcculloch8763Try this. “Sugar is as addictive as heroine” seriously lol
I did it for one month, i have a better vision, a better health and i lost 5kg
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 suffered the same problem for Years, l find green world products and my problem was solved and l am getting better every day, yes cutting sugar is beneficial as the doctor says..Green world products help our body to help its self ,fight the the root cause of the problem.
How’s your liver levels now?
Wow 😢❤
Awesome, but how bout having some carp for dinner 😊
Well Said 👏 👏 👏 👏 Steve from Manchester 🇬🇧
I stopped having diet cokes, potato chips, pastries and pancakes, bread, tortillas, processed foods, fast food, fruits, candy, alcohol, chocolate, rice, corn, potatoes, and of course sugar. I have been eating vegetables in the three meals, eggs in the mornings, bacon, chicken, sardines, nuts, cheese, a little milk with my coffee, olives, avocado, meat, and three liters of pure water everyday. This is my first week. I decided to do this because I started with pain in feet and legs. Pain has disappeared and I feel fantastic. I consider this not a diet, but a change of feeding for life.
Énorme, bravo par contre arrêter le sucre transformé oki mais les fruits, celà me paraît excessif
Harikasın❤
Good morning, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 4 months ago. I cut out sugar, grains and processed foods. I have listened to lots of your videos and nutrition etc. By the grace of God , my diabetes has been reversed. I am no longer on meds. Some people will say to me,” what kind of diet are you doing? I tell them a diet is temporary, this is a lifestyle. Thank you Dr Ekberg, for making these videos. It has changed my life.
Can you possibly share how you did it and what are the food and lifestyle you have developed to achieve your goal. I'm also planning to experiment and start cutting or possibly removing sugar in my system.. TIA 😊
@@joshwade737 Good afternoon
@@joshwade737 I just see this message
@@joshwade737 I basically removed all sugar from my diet
@@joshwade737 I usually eat 2 meals a day
12 days in, so far so good. Reversing 65 years of total sugar addiction is a big leap.
Stay strong and I will too!
Great job!
SWEET 😉
I'm 62 and started keto and watching Dr. Ekberg 6 months ago. Huge difference. The more you stick with it the easier it gets. Watch Dr. Unwin from the UK. He's also inspiring.
Well done. It is really hard for the first 2 to 3 weeks, but I promise you that the longer you go without sugar, ( I only eat small amounts of Blackberries, Blueberries or Raspberries, and no other fruit. I don't eat them every da either. I don't eat honey and I have to check cooked chicken slices as these can contain sugar) then the easier it will become and the better you will start to feel.
I gave up sugar 6 weeks ago and I've lost 42lbs so far. I am utterly astonished by this. I did feel very weak for the first few weeks and actually felt like giving up but the weight loss has encouraged me to stick with it. I'll never allow any form of sugar back into my life. It is gone for good.
Congratulations, keep it up. It might be a little hard with the holidays, but it’s worth it long term. 😊
Well done Karen. 👍
@@sabrinapittsley2304 Thank you Sabrina, I have totally lost my taste for sugary things no so I know I'll be fine over Christmas. No going back now.
@@SpamMouse Thanks SpamMouse.
That's Fantastic! Wow - Congratulations!!
I am a living testament that everything you said is true. I did this for 3 months because after 30 days it got so easy. Starting a1c 11.9. Fasting blood glucose over 300. I weighed 325 pounds. After 90 days my a1c was 5.4. Fasting blood glucose was around 90. My weight went down to 260. All in just 90 days. Blood pressure, diabetes, and all of my other health issues including my vision improved. The ONLY thing I did was stop sugar and carbs. Unbelievable.
carbs you mean 100% carbs? even in vegitables? if yes then what did you have. Thanks in advance for sharing with me.
@@abdulwali7578 I did strict carnivore. No veggies. Just meat. And a lot of eggs.
@@perockus2965 thanks Sir
I would really like to know what Dr. Sten eats daily, the portions and how he tendons healthy and fit. I hope that Dr. Sten tells us what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat at a serving, for us to stay healthy instead of only telling us what NOT to eat.
You can pay to a professional nutritionist, don't expect CZcams to solve your life. Nothing personal.
My significant other and I went sugarless about a year ago. We lost a total of 100lbs and are back to our high school weight. And we’ve never been healthier or felt younger! We are both 69 years old. Wish the comment section would permit before and after pics!
Nice
Awesome guys
Keep it up❤
So you're both 69'ers😂
Once you get past the withdrawal symptoms, low or no sugar is the way to thrive! 👍🏽
No sugar, no caffeine
I'm going thru sugar withdrawal atm.
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Stick with it. I did it 1 1/2 years ago, and after a few weeks, I started to see those foods as poison. I don't miss them at all. I healed much of my long-hauler symptoms, and as a bonus, lost 3 sizes. Feeling better than I have in my whole life, in some ways. Oh, and I'm 65. YOU GOT THIS! Oh, and I also started rowing 3 times a day, starting at one minute per session, worked up to 15. If you can walk, do that. My foot injury meant I had to stop walking a lot, it's too painful, but that's all you need. Take care.
@@Meritumas why no caffeine? coffee has it and many of us drink coffee...just asking for myswlf
@@MeritumasCaffeine is fine, just don’t drink any after 3pm. Cutting sugar and carbs and exercising for me created a huge change for me. Before and after pics on my channel. Looks like two completely different people.
I have tried you following your advice for a few months now and believe me am feeling really good and energetic. Thanks a ton for making all those videos and sharing your knowledge with all of us .
I have started this challenge, even before I started watching this video. I’ve been doing it for two weeks now and I already see and feel improvement throughout my body. My vision has improved. My knees are not hurting anymore. I can also feel like my body is less swollen. This video has excellent information
Quitting sugar = FREEDOM
Been doing it for 6 months thanks to you. Lost 67lbs.
What did you use in place of it ?
Not much for 6 months.
Thank you @uzvisheni 😄
I do the same but I am not sure it is healthy way or not
My question is, what to eat. Can you share your typical B, L, and Dinner meal?
I can tell from my experience of cutting out sugar & carbs that I felt a lot better in many ways! My mood improved, like doc said, my vision improved too. I stopped getting weary eyes while driving esp at night. Also, my blood pressure was totally under control without any medicine! All this and many more besides reducing considerable amount weight. I went down from 88Kgs to 68.2Kg now!!
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
I stopped sugars and starches 7 years ago. Lost 50 lbs, and all those benefits have come true.
Well done Jay. 👍
@@SpamMouse thankyou.
Do you eat? I am vegetarian și not much left for me to eat is I take out starches. Thanks
@@stefanflorin4240 yah, mostly meats and veggies. I've been known to order a sub and eat the stuffing and throw away the bun. Same with pizza.
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
I got a six pack after cutting out sugar, sweets, reduced carbs significantly. Ironically I didn’t changed my exercise routine much but I was able to sustain more intensive efforts in each training session.
Not to mention you must have lost belly fat covering them up - great job!
Exactly same here!
How long did it take to see visible results.
@@Deshanhiralall Speaking from my own experience it takes about 3 months to see physical results that are noticeable to others.
@@Deshanhiralall I’m not sure. I only noticed it during spring when I stood in front of a longer length mirror. Most times, I only look at face mirror for shaving.
I think someone else spotted it. I was more concerned about fixing my bloods than rather how I looked.
This is my FOURTH DAY where I do not consume two tablets of Acidominophen out of fear 2 have ab IBS attack. The abstinence is excruciating 4 my brain, but since Dr Sten Eckberg says no, I decided 2 try it. I hope the longevity of my liver will increase this way. Thank u, Dr Eckberg.❤
I have to agree. The best part of the 30 day trial for me as a radiologist was my improved vision. (In addition to weight loss and focus) . Never really thought much about sugar until your lectures. Love your talks and they are changing my lifestyle. Many thanks!!!
I have a friend who has diabetes and RA and other health issues. She went to a nutritionist who told her not to deny herself cake and other foods she likes, told her to just have a smaller piece. This is why people keep eating things that harm them.
She should run away from that Nutritionist
That's definitely a part, but the addiction is a stronger hold for many, regardless of the advice they get!
@@ianstuart5660 But medical advice to keep eating it just because they don't want to tell them the tough truth that any amount is poison and giving them a plan to eliminate it...unthinkable.
Paid and trained to be a big pharma/big food/healthcare industry shill, there's really no other explanation...
Trial and error experimenting with my body liked and didn’t like, I gave up that pyramid years ago.
I started Nov 13. My bloated belly is going down everyday. You're a great inspiration, thanks.
Well done, keep going. 👍
No more farting....LOL.
Right on! I did it last year, and guarantee that a month from now, you won't miss sugar, and the benefits are amazing.
@@jennifermarlow. My big problem was potato chips and chocolate wafers. thanks for the encouragement.
Dr. Ekberg has changed my life! I feel like he has given me the golden key to weight loss and so many other things.
Day #32 ,with no sugar, very low carbs, and no alcohol. I feel amazing. I miss it a little, but I see a big change in my weight, which is motivating me to keep going. I'm so happy i made this change.
Starting right now. Can’t believe I’m addicted to sugar and have let it destroy my health. Fellow Internet people, I could use your positive vibes to help me through this first week of withdrawal. This addiction has been 50 years in the making. Looking forward to being free of joint pain & getting healthier overall. Big hugs to all of you beginning this journey as well & a huge THANK YOU to Dr. Ekberg for his passionate dedication to educating us all.
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!👏🏻🙏🏼
I've switched to carbonated water as my drink of choice. I now find I can't even contemplate drinking even a diet fizzy drink.
I went on carnivore and lost 45lbs, measure yourself, sometimes you lose inches instead of lbs. I snack on bacon when I get cravings\ or eat a whole meal, and feel stuffed. I use a small amount atkins shakes(for creamer, torani sugar free syrup\monk fruit sugar) to add to coffee. I just started possibly my last 30 day challenge to get near my goal weight, good luck to you
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. I’ve been sugar free for about 2 years now and I’m at the point where don’t miss it at all. I walk past the chocolate display in the supermarket, and I feel nothing. 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.
I have pre diabetic. I stop eating sugar, starch, etc for 3 days. Just eating chicken meat, fish & boiled eggs. I got all the benefits that dr.Sten mentioned and even more. Before, I never knew that sugars is so addictive
EXCELLENT!!!! The longer you keep it up the easier it will be!!!
Keep it up 🎉❤ great job!!
You can reverse it by eating all u want but doing rolling fasting
You are a wonderful Doctor and are saying all the things that I've heard before but you have put this all together in one. What is also wonderful are the many comments left here that confirm the huge improvements in health that can be made.
A very clear video on the benefits of cutting out sugar and carbs, something I have been struggling with for over 18 years. In that time I put on 23kg and can hardly walk now at 77yrs as arthritis in back and knee is so painful. This doesn’t help when I want to exercise but have no energy and it hurts. Although Christmas is near, I am going to start a trial of 30 days sugar/carb free and hope to post a comment after then on how I went. New doctor recently did my annual check & said insulin is raised, you need to lose weight. Sounds like this might be my saviour. Thank you Dr Ekberg and to all who commented 👏
At age 70 I have eliminated all sugar, seed oils, processed foods, and 95% of carbs. I have lost 100 pounds and went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. I am off all prescription meds. A1C is 4.6
Me to I’m 72 and went from 44 inch to 34 inch waist.
Awesome!!!!!
Was your BP high prior?
I've tried this like 3 days and my blood sugar level dropped so bad (about 50 and even lower) what should I do? Can't I do that with low blood sugar?
Amazing job! That's a whole new person!
I use to use 5lbs of sugar a month in my coffee alone...then I lived on cereal. I ran 40 miles a week and very active job. I had mysterious stomach problems that doctors couldn't find. Then had a pulmonary embolism for no obvious reason. I cut sugar out and proceeded carbs. Lost a done of weight, I eat one meal a day now. No mysterious pains or joint pain for 2 plus years now.
40 miles a week?
That’s a 3 mile walk twice a day. Imagine having a dog that needs walked twice a day.
My dog is older and arthritic so I take her for 1.5 miles twice a day.
Wow, that's fantastic! So happy you turned it around!
I need this change. I love sweet coffee a few times a day. I am having joint pain and begging to have other problems.
@@LIZBETH_PEREZhi Liz Beth,.. My sister Julie who eats meticulously and is slim and trim. Has changed her diet significantly in order to live longer and feel better and be healthy. BUT she refuses to give up her liquid vanilla coffee-mate creamer.😢
She says it is her only health sin that she commits. 😮
She puts a ton of it in her Coffee ☕ the coffee is very light colored by the time she administers all of the arsenic..... LOL I mean coffee-mate creamer 😊
Who's to say maybe she'll get away with it since her diet is very meticulous, BUT are we Scott free if we have poison in small doses every day?
I wish you the🎉❤
36 YO. I stopped using refined sugar a year ago. My body is now in much better shape and energy level is up.
This is THE BEST video I have seen for explaining benefits of quitting sugar with a breakdown of how it works. Thank you for this! I have been trying to give up sugar for over 3 years and can’t ever seem to make it past a week. I gave up alcohol on my own a year ago and This video could be the inspiration to get that sugar out of my diet. It’s so hard when you live in a household with others that don’t agree with the importance of this change but I want this and I know I am capable! I plan to post back on here after my 30 days! Wish me luck!
It's funny how you describe most of the wrong assumptions and mistakes I made. I started with intermittent fasting and changed the diet to zero sugar. I lost 25 pounds and feel better at 61 than I did in my 40s. Great video.
Same here, since April 2022. I fixed my "long hauler" symptoms, and as a bonus lost a lot of weight (I don't weigh myself, but 2-3 sizes). At 65, feel better than my 40s too. Keep up the great work!
Hey, i’m also doing intermittent fasting and have a question. How long did it take you to lose 25 pounds and what were the primary meals you ate during that time? Thx in advance!
En realidad mal llamada "" dieta cetogenica^. Es entender que es cambiar hábitos alimenticios y dejar descansar a nuedtro motor digestivo y regular nuestra glucosa o resistencia a la insulina por eso es 16/:8; o el tiempo de ayunar que se quiera adoptar agregándole la eliminación de azúcar, carbohidratos y ultraprocesados en CERO es fantástico y regeneración celular y físico este hábito es lo más SANADOR !!!
Thank you Dr. Sten. I cut out all sugars (including fruit and complex carbs) last April, and am here to say a big YES to the 30 days. I had already given up grains, and never ate a lot of 'sweets'. The cravings only last a few days, but after a few weeks, I started to see sugar as poison, and actually don't want any of the things that are unhealthy. No cravings, except !! when I smell bread toasting. It's just "one of those things", and no big deal. After 1 1/2 years, I feel better at age 65 than I did at 40. My post-CVD syndrome is much much better, and the bonus is that I've lost weight and now slim and trim. I also started rowing every day, thrice a day, and lifting weights. As a woman, following mainstream medical advice, I was grazing, 5 meals per day, low fat. I figured my gender and age meant I would never be more fit after menopause. Not true! Your channel is so excellent, and I love being greeted as a champion. xx from Canada
How can you give up oats? Ate thick cut rolled today cooked with cinnamon nutmeg and allspice, .5 t, .25 t, .25 t.
Excellent and made me feel really great!
You go girl❣️
@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 I love rolled oats with brown sugar and milk/cream. My health is more important to me, though. But you do you! :)
@@bigestfan7 Thank you. :)
@@jennifermarlow. I would give up sugar before whole grains, but you do you.
I wonder how it feels like to be 100% healthy
Total happiness probably.
Hi Doc. i have type2diabetes, fatty liver and tiny gallstones. when I saw this video. I dropped sugar and most carbs in my diet. After 7 days I lost almost 5kg, feel better and my FBS is from 187mg/dL to 121 now. All in 7 days. Thank you so much❤.
Day 60 at carnivore and coffee diet. No more gum disease, weight loss, sexual performance increase, mental focus. I was just going to do it for 45 days but it has changed into a life style for me
No coffee you mean ? I quit coffee 4 months ago and my sleep is so much better ...
I stopped all manner of sugar for 30 days. I had headache for over a week which surprised me because I thought it would only be 3 days or so.
My pant size is down. My blood pressure is down. My focus is up and so is my mood. Feels like a great reset.
As a Registered Nurse I whole heartedly agree! This program motivates me ! Thank you …
I am 74. I stopped all table sugar (including foods with sugar) and alcohol six months ago but otherwise ate what I wanted - continued with starch. I walk 45 to 60 minutes every day.
During this time I have felt all the benefits you describe and steadily lost weight (fat, not muscle) at a rate of a pound a week - i.e. 30 lbs to date (14 kg) - belt-size 3" less. I do not see this as a "diet" - it is healthy living and I plan to continue this till I die at 105.
congrats from Poland and good luck on your path!
May you go till 110!
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. Oh and I love your Euvexia Eulyte!You pretty much saved my life and I cannot thank you enough.
last january i stopped eating all sugars, grains and fruit. within 2 months i was no longer diabetic. i also no longer have a fatty liver and i've lost over 40 pounds.
Hi what did you replace it with? I would love to try but that sounds like theres not much left to eat, just veggies...
What did you eat?
@@ashlenephilander5360
Meat.
Going to do this Dr Sten
Thank you so much for making the reasons for staying away from sugar so clear! Enough is enough. 🙏🏻
I had blood pressure that was through the roof (200/117 or thereabout most days). I was overweight and had belly fat.
I quit sugar in all forms so no table sugar, no fruits, no rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, etc. I am down from 87 kgs to 65 kgs. Belly fat gone. Blood pressure normal (normally below 130/85 most of the time) and my overall health has improved tremendously including restored lung function. I had been diagnosed with asthma and at one time used inhalers. After dropping sugar in all forms my lung function is now normal. I am 57 years old.
Keep up the good work you are doing. You are saving lives.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.
I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely 👍👍👍
Amen!
Good info, not a Dr though@@musikraft249
And yet there’s probably loads of stuff on the internet dissing his methods and education. I’m not going to look for it… I have proven results, that’s all I need.
Totally agree!
Clones are created to destroy humanity
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. I do have a small bowl of oats before the gym. I know this carb meal causes inflammation in the body but it does fuel me well for a workout, and next day it’s back to zero carb again, and I’m still getting stronger every week 👍
@@chrisgilling543hey question, how do you eat your oats? With water or milk? And as far as i’m concerned doesn’t grain also include a tiny bit of sugar?
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, however, I did stop sugar altogether and am still reaping the best health benefits. I am 61 yrs now and have never been as healthy as I am now. I lost over 15 kg, and yes my taste buds have changed. I can't eat sweets now, I also noticed that white rise, white potatoes and pasta do raise my sugar level, therefore I eliminated that as well and also got good benefits. There is an issue when one goes out to restaurants, so I don't go out either. My advice to you is if you want to get into good health, listen carefully to this clip, it's exactly right what he says. Everything starts in the brain and strong will. Do yourself a favour take good care of yourself and take a practical approach. Thank you for this clip Dr. Sten
Finally! I found someone who has given us some exception in eating as per our metabolism rather than restriction. Otherwise! I watched few doctors put restiction without clarity.
Thank You!
Covered really well.
I can say that I experienced all of these benefits as I took the challenge 2 years ago as an experiment. I was surprised how quickly things changed for me. What made the difference for me was Dr. Ekberg's explanation gave me a more clear understanding of how the body works.
Recalling the detailed explanations helps me reinforce my new practices.
I quit sugar 3 months ago thanks to your videos. I’m 24lbs lighter- partly thanks to my health club membership which I never would’ve had the energy to even get myself to before. I really thought swapping all my coffees with milk and sugar for green tea with stevia would leave me lethargic and struggling through each day. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I feel great. The most surprising difference to me was was going from daily use of painkillers for arthritic type aches and pains to almost never needing pain relief because all the inflammation has gone. Thank you so much. I encourage everyone to try this.
Some fruit is now back in my diet but added sugar is gone for good!
Good Job Jenny 🎉❤
Well done!
I kept coffee but switched to stevia and heavy cream, delicious!
congrats --So you didnt give up food entirely, just sugar and starches.. noted... what are some of your go-to foods whenever you get hungry...like snack foods? Nuts? berries? Etc?
@@HollywoodConnection-JAST thanks. I did one 88 hour fast. Generally I eat an evening meal each day and a snack a few hours before that of 4 corn thins (crackers) with butter and kimchi. Or cheese, homemade coleslaw, hummus, whatever is in the fridge. If I’m really hungry in the morning I’ll have porridge (oatmeal) made with milk, stevia, and berries or a banana. Maybe twice a week. No other snacks.
This works for me and I don’t feel hungry or deprived so I’m sticking to it 🙂
I stopped as much sugar intake as possible for 2 months now and lost 19 lbs, in combination with trans fat. The taste of any sweet is too much for me now and I’m glad, you have done a lot for me , thanks !
I just love the way you explained all of this. So calm and knowledgeable. I am going to do the 30 day challenge and journal my experience. A+
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 lost 90 lbs cutting sugar and carbs. Easiest weight I ever lost. No gym has been able to do this for me. Now I enjoy long walks with my wife. I was able to reverse type 2 diabetes, get off cholesterol meds and blood pressure meds. No more Cpap machine.
❤
Enjoy the pace, and good animated speaker. Good dress and excellent use of the background and foreground display. Good concise and great content. Kudos on excellent example of teaching.
I stopped eating sugar for 30 days I was feeling weak and was trying to eat but I controlled myself by not eating any of the sweets but instead I started taking banana in my diet I saw the benefits i became more active , no pains . After watching your video I felt I am on the right track
Thank you for sharing such an informative video
I needed to hear this after Thanksgiving.. I've been avoiding sugars in all forms for 2 months and seen such positive changes in terms of pain reduction, my physical performance as an athlete and weight loss but the last week I back-slid due to festivities. I enjoy the detailed explanation that helps us understand how sugars work in our bodies. Please do not change your approach Dr. Ekberg.
We had brunch and I had french toast with bourbon maple syrup. After years of not having anything this indulgent, I forgive myself and you should forgive yourself too. We're human, not saints.
As did I! I've watched enough of Dr. Ekberg's videos that I "know" this stuff basically but it helps me stay strong hearing it again in a little different way.
Yep I had a candy binge ..peanut butter cup binge and got a refund on all the misery. The pain is real. Great motivation for me.
🌿 Maybe not so surprizngly, after a few years without sugar or processed food, I found a lot of the stuff I used to like not very tasty anymore. 🤔 😉.. 👍
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.
I went 90 days without sugar and it was the best time of my life. I guess because of convenience I started slowly adding it in... bad mistake. Gained 60 lbs back. I'm definitely a sugar addict. I've known for years. I've been insulin resistant for years. I'm ready to take this challenge seriously!
You can do this.
@francesb6758 thank you...I haven't given up!
I am also a sugar addict... and now I never eat sugar in any form and never felt better
Great experience improving your life without medication 💊 !!!!!! Congratulations!!
You can do it again Tammy, you know already how wonderful it felt on the other side of sugarworld.
I have hypertension. I was 113 kg last month Feb 2024. Then I adjusted my eating habbits by doing IF in the first week, OMAD 2nd Week, then increaaed fasting time to 2 to 3 days in the laat weeks. The result is stunning. I lost 10 kg. and lowered down my BP.
My aim is to get off my BP medication. Your videos really helped me understand more about my body and health. Thanks! Keep doing these informative videos. 🎉
Thank you, you turned my life around. I adopted intermittent fasting and completely eliminated all types of sugars, including those found in fruits, milk (lactose), glucose, dextrose, and so on. I also avoided all artificial sweeteners and drinks labeled as ‘diet’. However, natural sweeteners like Stevia and Monk Fruit were used sparingly as alternatives. My intake of carbohydrates (net carbs), starch, and grains was strictly limited, aiming to reduce them to as close to zero as possible, if not completely to zero.
By adhering to a modified Mediterranean/Paleo/Keto diet, I managed to reduce my A1C from 7.2 to 5.0 without any medication and have successfully maintained it. I lost over 40 pounds in less than three months and decreased my fasting glucose from 167 to 71. I successfully managed to eliminate my chronically high blood pressure, reducing it to the 70/120 range or even lower. Additionally, I was able to normalize my triglycerides and cholesterol levels.
I never feel hungry and I enjoy the food I consume. This diet has not only given me greater mental clarity but also increased my energy levels. It’s important to note that this should be combined with at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily.
There’s no need to be inflexible or obsessive about this. The key is to remain vigilant and generally adhere to the guidelines. While everyone is different, it’s important not to use this as an excuse to deviate from the plan. Consistency is crucial for this approach to work effectively, so try to avoid any deviations.
I stopped eating sugar 18 months ago after watching one of your videos and lost weight and had all of the health benefits you described here too. 😎
After I watched many of your videos, I stopped eating sugar products as mentioned in this video since September. My blood sugar drops from 110 to 75 and losing 15lbs. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Llevo 2 meses sin carbohidratos, sin azúcar , sin frutas , y mi cuerpo a cambiado a niveles extremos y la pérdida de peso a sido sobrenatural 🙌🏻
Felicidades!
Animo para continuar y muchas bendiciones!
I cut out sugar, got used to it in 3 days and now I don't want any sugar. My energy and morale are better. Thank you.
Today is day1. My reading last night was 600. It was 506 the night before that. I feel terrible, and just had a second heart stent a few weeks ago, at 55 years old. I just can’t live like this anymore. I’m looking forward to seeing big changes! Thanks for the inspiring video.
You can and will do it! Cutting out sugar and introducing intermittent fasting (gently) will totally transform your whole life. Best to you in your process!
One day at a time. Cheering you on.
@@crystalspencer8603 Thanks
Wanting the best for you! Keep going!
Your blood sugar was 600?
Live changing is right. I started this 14 months ago. I've lost 80 lbs. I wasn't eating candy or pastries where the sugar is obvous, but there was so much hidden sugar, and I was carb heavy. Better than that, I've recently had my blood work done at my annual physical. Everything Dr. Ekberg says is true. I was pre-diabetic and had a fatty liver. My previous doctor never even mentioned either. I guess she thought "well, she's morbidly obese,so I won't waste my time". My new doctor brought up my charts because I'd lost so much weight, that's when I found that out. NOW, all of my blood work is beautiful, normal ranges on everything, AND, I no longer even need blood pressure medication. The only thing I take is a good quality multi-vitamin just to make sure I'm not missing any micro-nutrients. I was happy for the weight loss - feeling so much better just due to that, but I didn't know if all of the other claims would be true. they absolutely are! Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I've learned so much from you, having to resort to my own research to improve my health. We're blessed to have you to educate us.
Gave up sugar about 3 months ago. It wasn't really all that difficult to give it up, I always was pretty health-conscious in my diet. I am a 76 year young woman.The first thing I noticed, within a week, was that my skin became smoother. I have a variety of bumps on my skin, and they are slowly melting away. I have had neuropathy in my feet for the past 5 years. That has improved a lot: no longer that feeling of ants crawling around under my skin. Especially noticeable at night. I also have fewer aches and pains in my joints. I lost a few pounds, but not as significantly as others are reporting. I have a lot more energy, and that feels great. I have been pre-diabetic for about 6 years. Next month I'm due for a blood test, and I'm optimistic that my a1C will be down. I really feel that I have turned over a new leaf in my life, and can't imagine that I will ever eat any other way.
Excellent video - that (finally) explains the different types of sugars, their impacts on health, their relationship to carbs and strategies for different body types. Thank you for making this simple and clear.
Hello , doctor Ekberg. I quit smoking years ago (heavily addicted , 2 pack a day) . Alcohol free 2 years (not alcoholic in a major way) I fast daily - Why is the sugar such a problem ? Is it because it is the last vice/ pleasure ? I gotta get into it . Gotta man up. Wish me luck and even better strength.
@@pepperprepper5120 You too.
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. You have achieved a lot, dumping sugar will be well within your reach. Keep going. 👍
@@allhimwithme5115 Thank you
@@SpamMouse The body is clever indeed
Started Keto and watching Dr. Ekberg 6 months ago. Every thing he says in this video is true. Never felt better.
I'm starting today! Thanks❣
I switched to Ezekiel bread, it is spouted and no sugar 👍 I used it during gestational diabetes and it never elevated my morning glucose. I use that now instead of bread 99 percent of the time.
I will take this challenge and I will come back in 30 days , thank you for answering a lot of my questions.
When i was diagnosed with NIDDM my HbA1c was 6.9. I stopped using table sugar, and anything sweet. Then after 3 months my HbA1c was 5.5 then 5.1 after another 3 months. Now, im used to no sugar and I'm on intermittent fasting. Thank you, I learned a lot from this channel.
Yea what he said about the taste buds is absolutely true . I quit all sugar and carbs about three years ago , lost 57 pounds and so many foods taste amazing now . I enjoy eating more so now . . Had some leftover Halloween candy . .Reeses peanut butter cups which was always my favorite , so I thought I would have a ''cheat day '' . Man that candy tasted like crap . I couldn't believe it , that was my favorite for fifty years .
If I'm taking things seriously I can't perform CHEAT DAYS. Because cheat days turn into cheat weeks and cheat months, in other words I find it extremely hard to get back on track 😊
2 years into a carnivore diet I still think carbs are delicious, but I also recognize they don't trip the satiation trigger, either. I now view carbs as 'not a sustainable program', and just avoid them on that basis.
10 days today feeling light body fresh mood
I will come after 2 month to review you guys
I stopped eating sugar for almost 2 months and my eyesight is doing great, no more redness and cloudy visions. Thanks for these great information.
In the case of someone who is already showing signs of dementia, it is still helpful to remove sugar and the quick carbs from the diet. I am listening to this because I need to share it with someone who is living with a dementia spouse
"Fast Like a Girl" (which isn't just for women because men can follow the post-menopausal/no-cycle advice) has a 30-day Brain Health fasting schedule. It's hard core, though, with prolonged fasting involved so the person would have to be willing to build up to it and then be committed to a fasting lifestyle. If I had any signs of dementia I'd be on board, but I guess I can't assume everyone would be.
Yes, benefits at any stage!
Yes. Though it can be very hard if there is mental decline already to convince about changes to diet, this is magnified in all medical healthcare where they find it hard to feed people the BEST diet was just feed them the easiest diet, than means sugar.
@@allhimwithme5115IS this a real eating program? OR should I say fasting program? AND is it called "Fast like a girl"?
Call me blonde, but, well I am, and was born that way, so what do I do?😅😊
Sincerely TAMI 🙋🏼♀️
@@SpamMouse Definitely. Ever been to the dementia wards of hospitals or nursing homes?
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!
Hopefully you will lose the cravings quickly!
Natasha. Thank you.
Sorry I meant Natasa
Hang in there, you can do it. I cheer you on❤
@@soyouthinkyouknowme2063 Thank you so much.
Good post. I quit sugar over 30 years ago. People my own age now always ask why I don't look their age. That is why. Sugar tears up all kinds of body parts.
Such an excellent informative video. One week no sugar or carbs and intermittent fasting. Its been rough, but manageable. Lots of water and salt is my advice if you're a typical 250 lb American male.
I've done that. Started with a carnivore diet for 30 days, then switched to a low carb diet. Didn't really have any cravings. Fasting glucose eventually dropped from 106 mg/dl to 87 mg/dl. My most missed foods are Frenchy fries and tater tots.
Tater tots are the bomb. Watched hubby eat a plate full the other day.
I was almost sugar addicted eating chocolates and cakes regularly. After watching one of your videos I stopped eating sweets in June 2022. First two weeks was a bit challenging, I admit, but now I am free and I love it. I don't buy sweets any more and I eat something sweet rarely just on occasions. I feel much better now with more energy, cleaner skin and I feel the taste of food better. Thank you for your lecture ❤
I gave up all sugars, Alcohol, complex carbs, and anything processed 35 days ago and do an 18-6 fast. I was sick the first 5 days like opioid withdrawal but since feel great, have loads of energy, sleeping great, and have lost 17 pounds. Cheers
could u gives us a diet guide? thanx and congrats
Whole foods Red Meat and nonstarchy vegetables 3-4 times a week once a day. Fish or chicken and vegetables 3-4 times a week. Nothing processed, no sugar , no alcohol. Restricted eating time period. Down 38 lbs, never feel tired or hungry anymore. from 10am- 4pm Cheers @@user-li8ky5cz8c
I am starting today, will feedback when I have succeeded with my 30 days without sugar, I am a sugar addict but I know I can do this. Thank you Dr.
My daughter is so pleased I’m staying healthy for her. Your messages, and channels like yours, help me on this path to avoid the dementia both parents suffered. 👍

Hello Dr. Sten, All that you covered is absolutely >90% truth.
I am a living testimony on these road, all one needs is "ROD" (Routine-Order-Discipline)
Be blessed.🙏
Tack Sten, jag uppskattar dina videor enormt :)
Thank You Dr Ekberg - I'm 70 and 6 weeks in. Have experienced all you say will or might happen. Life changing. I've not felt this good in a long while. Thank you again. I love the scientific way you explain things in an easy-to-understand presentation.
I got diagnosis with LADA earlier this year. Instantly gave up all refined sugars and have never felt or been in better shape in all my adult life.
This is the absolute best video I have watched on this subject. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I have not eaten sugar, grains, or starches in 12 years. After so much time, it is a habit. It was easy to pass up all those sugary, starchy, high-carb Thanksgiving foods. I am not a slave to food and it is a great thing. I think part of my success is that I have never had a "cheat" day. Cheat days just keep you hooked. You are rewarding yourself with the very thing you want to stop.
True statement
I’m so glad you posted this again Dr. Sten. I NEED this to boost my determination to cut out sugar. I’ve got to wait for family to leave and then get serious. I felt SO GOOD when I did keto for a year. I totally went off the wagon and fell back into old habits. Turning 65 this month and it’s time to change for my health’s sake.
Kim, have you read "Fast Like a Girl?" I'm 52 and my mom 77 - it's changed our lives dramatically.
You can do it Kim!
@@allhimwithme5115 actually I’m reading it right now! I like Dr. Mindy and I’ve listened to many of her CZcams videos so I’m enjoying the book now 👌🏼👌🏼😃
Thank you for the encouragement everyone! I WILL DO IT!!
Im taking the challenge 30 days with no sugar starting today 1/18/24 will post updates. Thank you Dr.
Third time try for last 3 years I am in low carb no sugar. Today is week two successfully completed, and I am on proper clean Keto , feeling good, feeling less hungry, my fasting time naturally increasing from 12 now to 20 hours . I must say first 10 days or so was not that easy , craving, headache, diarrhoea and etc . But I stayed motivated by your videos as well as other few Keto pioneers in the CZcams . I was sleeping only 2-4 hours a night due to high stress. But now I am sleeping straight 7-8 hours which is very unusual for me . I believe it is combination of 5k of 1 hour walk in nature first thing in the mornings every single day past two weeks , complete sugar free diet and taking additional supplement such as ashwaganda. I have lost 2k in two weeks but still to go another 10 kilos. But I want to concentrate on body composition rather than scale as I am also doing moderate weight training. Just wanted to say big thank you so much knowledge you provide to us through your channels and the most amazing is that is accessible any time of the day and it is free
Thank you Dr Ekberg!! I was extremely addicted to sugar and actually lost my father to diabetes. Thanks to you're informative videos, I have eliminated refined sugar from my diet for almost 3 months. I've lost over 20lbs and feeling great! I have combined this with intermittent fasting (usually 16/day). I no longer have cravings for sugar and refined carbs. THANK YOU!!
I stopped all sugars 9 months ago, when I started the ketogenic diet. I lost 40 lbs, reversed my pre diabetes and never felt better. Now I can't tolerate any kind of sweet, even the likes of Splenda. I also stopped all alcohol. I feel better in my 40's than I did in my 20's
Started 3 Oct 2023, cut sugary food...donuts, cakes, pastries etc(daily desserts!) At first there seem so little range of food to eat until Dr Sten's video on his food choices for a week then I got creative.
Lost 5 kg, n aiming for more. The skin breakouts at the scalp also disappeared (i was contemplating seeing a doc but decides to cut sugar first). After understanding abt glucose, fructose, fatty liver, insulin issues n how the body burns fat. Somehow felt much more empowered to stick to whole food always n eat short hours. When missed once or twice, dont beat yourself up, go for reset!
The videos at first seem very long to me, but the info captures my attn. Thank u, Dr Sten. Hope millions more watch your videos too!
I've done this challenge before. I lost 18kls in 3months. Frm almost 10meds to now 2. Maintaining my 60kls body weight. Still on the diet that helped me lose that "18kls". I looked 10yrs older but feel 30yrs younger. I am 54. Now i looked and feel good. Gained some muscle. Plan to do it again become 50kls or less
