      I just had my yearly checkup with labs after being carnivore for a little over a year. My blood work has never been better. After more than a year of eating nothing but beef, eggs, and butter. Full of saturated fat. Sometimes a dozen eggs in one day along with 5-6 pounds of ribeye steak, snacking on butter from time to time, and cooking beef fat trimmings. My total cholesterol dropped 17 points. My HDL went up 10 points. My LDL went down 25 points, and my triglycerides went down 113 points. My kidney function improved from 80 to 90. In that year, I lost 150 pounds, reversed type 2 diabetes, reversed high blood pressure, reversed low testosterone, and no longer suffer from autoimmune arthritis issues. I was also able to come off all medications.

She had zero problems until she was put on statins by her doctor at 92. Two years later she had a stroke and it was downhill from there.

    Im a farmers son. My father and his four brothers ate that every morning. They lived a long and healthy life. No illness or overweight. Potatoes beef chicken eggs veg and buttermilk. The eggs and meat was fried in lard alonf with slices of home made bread.They butchered their own beef pork and lamb as well as churning the milk for butter and fresh buttermilk. No pasturised milk straigt from the cows.They grew all their veg kept bees and had a large orchard. They also worked very hard for long hours in all weathers. I can still taste the apple pies stewed rhubarb blackcurrant jam and those honey combs. I never tasted loaf bread until I went to work in the city.

If I'm snacks I'll have nuts and raw vegetables with Greek yogurt as a dip. I've just started (this werkend) doing 1 tblsp apple cider vinegar in water 30 minutes before a meal.

      I’m not sure what habits Toby Keith had, but I would bet that he was a fairly heavy drinker and may have chewed tobacco, both double whammies on your stomach. He died from stomach cancer. He was also overweight, which is one of the top three factors in getting cancer.

Of the 72 Solvents and Chemical's Listed by Environment Canada there was 500 TPDay of ToXic Methanol > Formaldehyde which metabolizes to FORMIC ACID in the Liver then Lactic acid in ALL our Cells! My cellular La kept rising because Bio-diesel uses ToXic Methanol mixed with Restaurant Grease so I was inhaling it on the Roadways! My last day @ work after 3 day's of my body being like a piece of Lead (Hypoxia) my throat mouth and tongue were burning from Formic Acid! (August 13th, 2003)
      We we're inhaling Potassium and I was the 13th onsite to have a Cardiac Event. We were also inhaling Aldehyde the hangover component of Legal Drinking Alcohol, and me being a non-drinker had all the damage of a Hardcore Alcoholic! Damaged Mitral Valve, Fatty Liver and depleted Thiamine! I found Paediatrician Dr.Robert Lonsdale's work on Infantile Apnea which helped greatly with my Apnea as dozens of us were Booked for the Sleep Disorder Clinic but never explained why!
      Thankfully with the help of a Medical Dictionary and my first use of a Computer I first read the late Dr. Betty Martini's paper explaining the Chemical Chain of ToXic Methanol because her calling was educating the Public about Aspartame Disease because of the Formaldehyde component!
      I want to Thank you for your integrity in explaining the pathway to a Keto Diet, as I was into Anaerobic glycolosis because of suffering Hypoxia, my KREB Cycle was damaged and too much Carb intake was metabolising to Lactic acid until I recognized the problem! I met with 3 different Diabetic Educators, but they offered No help!

    Greetings from Venezuela. I started following your videos some weeks ago after taking a blood test that showed me a rise of triglycerides (492mg/dL) and fasting glucose (101 mg/dL). I reduced the amount of carbohydrates that I eat every day, I increased saturated fat and I walked 30 minutes per day. After 3 months I lost more than 10 kilos, my triglycerides decreased to 147, my cholesterol is at 277 and my fasting glucose decreased to 70. I cannot believe it.

I'm 53, have had a series of injuries over the years, and am required to perform heavy physical training for my career. By trial and error I ended up eating certain foods at a certain time...and the results were dramatic. My post workout recoveries were night and day from past...I didnt even feel like I had been at the gym the day prior! This was huge coming from someone who has had an injury seemingly to every part of their body over the years. And the timing for eating also just worked out per my work schedule. And now FINALLY I know WHY it all works!!!
    Yup! Its eating pretty much exactly what you show in the vid...and I eat once a day! LOL! I have sent your vid on to my family members and friends who thought I was nuts / but at the same time when they see me / the build of my body...I'm doing something VERY right!

    I knew I was overweight, and i was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March this year. Because I had watched a lot of your videos, I made a complete dietary change. I wouldn't call it keto per se, but close. I got rid of all carb based & sugar filled foods from my pantry, fridge & freezer (I let the kids have it all), no more grain products etc. I have found a low carb bread but I only eat a couple of slices per week, and some low carb crispbread. I eat eggs, bacon, beef, lamb & chicken, full cream milk & butter for the most part. I had another round of bloodtests done in June and my blood sugar had dropped from 6.8 to 4.6, liver and kidney function were back to normal ( I had previously had fatty liver issues), no protein in urine sample, cholesterol normal. I have lost 12kg in the three months, and hope to lose some more, plus my blood pressure is back to normal. The only downside is that to eat healthy, whole foods is WAY more expensive than convenient fast foods, but I have become a compulsive food label reader just to see what is in my food. I also do OMAD or 2MAD, because I decided to only eat when I am genuinely hungry, not because the clock says it is a meal time.

      ​@@drekberg Thank you so much for all your videos, Dr. Ekberg. You are one of a very few whose info I trust completely, and bc of your incredibly clear teaching style, I have learned so much from you! And bc I live in NC, I am also hoping to see you in person at your new clinic sometime this year, if I am unable to reverse everything on my own (with your helpful videos & others, ofc.).
      I have one really important question to ask you, however, before I can feel confident going forward. There is a heart doctor I once had great faith in bc he taught me about lectins, which started me on the path to healing from my arthritis! But he has been pushing the idea for a couple of years now that beef, lamb, and pork ALL contain some kind of "sugar molecule" that in our blood streams leads to heart disease, strokes and even cancer; that it ISN'T saturated fat that has been the problem, ofc, but this sugar molecule instead, after all!
      And I don't know what to think about this bc I have never heard another carnivore or keto doctor or influencer even mention it, let alone refute it. And it is hard to believe he would jeopardize his own reputation by misrepresenting it! And the lack of anyone refuting it only heightens my concern!
      So I am appealing to you to please mention this in a future video, or even devote a short video to it, if you have any evidence to invalidate his claim. Your help w this would be very greatly appreciated!
      I will say, however, that I find it highly suspicious that the only meats that supposedly have this molecule are the ones eaten most commonly, but not goats, bison, elk, etc. Isn't that strange? It's almost as if the animals themselves, or their feed, have been genetically modified to create this problem and force the claims about red meat being cancer causing to be true. AND why would that doctor be the only one who knows something about it?
      Anyway, again, thank you so much for ALL you do, and thank you for your kind consideration of my request.

I am happy to inform you that you have changed my perspective on diet and the way I interpret " good foods and bad foods." As a result of following your program I am off blood pressure medication, and cholesterol meds. The Doctors were confused when I told them that my improved blood work was not as a result of taking my med but because of me looking at my insulin resistance, intermittent fasting and removal of sugar and seed oils from my diet. Of course they objected to my stopping meds firvthe past 3 months but when I showed them my personal chart, BP moved from140/90 to an average of 124/ 80 and cholesterol 283 to 172 consistently, they took note. I also moved from 173 lbs to 160 without exercising. I just need to make time to exercise for maximum benefits. I have been sharing your posts to most of my friends and some started and are amazed. I am 62 years old and feel like 26 again. Thank you for changing my life and my mindset. May God continue to bless you richly for your marvelous work.

I am just now starting to take my health really seriously and am researching the exact right changes for me and my body. I know that cutting out sugar and simple carbs are good for anyone, so there's no controversy there. For me, cutting out breads and pasta will be much harder than cookies and ice cream (which I love). The feeling of satisfaction after a meal for me comes from pasta and bread really. I assume that there are very low carb versions of some of these things I can hopefully keep in my diet. I do love meat - but I am afraid I'd get sick of it if that was all I ate. I don't hear much mention of pork (other than bacon of course). I love a good pork tenderloin which I enjoy with broccoli regularly. I hope this is a good choice. What about extra virgin olive oil? I have been using this a lot lately with turmeric, pepper, and cayenne for the blood and digestive benefits.
    Probably the most frustrating part of researching all of this is that there are doctors right here on YT with millions of devoted followers all claiming that their advice is the way to go - and yet they conflict with each other in a lot of ways. So who to listen to? The bloodwork report in this video is a huge plus and really shows the results of the various experiments. So I am trusting you and your advice.

      I'm 65 and I've literally tried EVERY diet under the sun. I was astonished to learn IF I was craving sugar/carbs eating some fat (bacon, cheese, butter, prime rib fat) would quickly alleviate "the sugar cravings". I suspect this is because my body associates carbs to fat due to a long history of eating processed foods.
      Try it!

      Doctors' information is valuable, but anecdotal evidence from tens of thousands of people is useful too. Read comments under a video from Dr Berry, or Dr Chaffee. Notice how many obligate carnivores came from keto. Try keto for 90 days, then try carnivore for 90. THEN eat vegetables and see how you feel.

    I have been fasting for close to 2 weeks. Yesterday I had 2 slices of bread, eggs and an avo. I had the worst night in a long time. I broke out in hives and I itched till woke up and bathed. I realised that the only thing I hadn't had in weeks is bread.

    I have discovered this channel about March 30th and started intermittent fasting and eliminated junk carbs. I've been eating bacon & eggs for years and was stable at 216. Here it is the 21st and I weigh 205. I'm 5'11" and the ideal bmi says 160. I am not worried about getting that thin. But I feel more energized already and am going to make this a lifetime habit. I figure once I completely master this program my weight will settle exactly where it needs to be.

      Hi Peter, I was 221 January 2022, today I am 170.6. took 6 months to lose 50 pounds and I have kept it off for almost a year. Dr Ekberg is excellent and offers wonderful scientific data! I found this the most effortless thing I have ever done... once I made the decision to give up carbs. I would like to lose 5 more and then turn it all to muscle and actually gain a little. But I am enjoying my life as a different person and that makes me feel amazing!

      My boyfriend is 180 at 5'7" and looks great but looks gaunt at 165. I don't care what the BMI chart says, 160 at 5'11" is skinny and unattractive. 200 is a good weight at 6' for most men. In my opinion, at your height, anything below 190 would be pushing it. But it all boils down to how you feel in your own skin.

    Hello Dr Ekberg, this is the first video that I have watched of yours and it was unbelievably educational. I myself am on what I would call a dirty carnivore diet because going cold turkey on sugar, carbs, veg, fruit, grains, nuts etc is really not something I want to do.
    What I would love to see is a video explaining why eating fat doesn't make you fat. It's all about how the body processes and discards unneeded fats that's interesting.
    Thank you again and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.

    Thank you for the video. I do have a question: while transitioning from burning carbs for body fuel, to instead burning fat for fuel, how do you maintain energy levels so you can work out / function? I hear so many tell of feeling terrible on a Keto diet, until their body adjusts. One of my friends told me he felt SO badly, he had suicidal thoughts (as he got depressed). Obviously, if starting a Keto diet, one would like to avoid feeling terrible, while waiting for the body to adjust. Thank you

    • @mandyking803

      I believe I heard Dr Berry say the bad feeling you get is because your body is withdrawing from carbs. A bit like ‘cold turkey.’ Not 100% sure though.

    • @boots7859
      @boots7859 Před 8 měsíci +5

      Biggest reason is when you start Keto, the first 4-5 days will deplete most of the glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscles.
      As you hit peak depletion, you'll notice urinating a lot more fluid than you're taking in. Don't even need to get Keto strips to test.
      Salt and other electrolytes are flushed from the body with water, and since there is a lot of excess fluid being shed, same goes for the salt and electrolytes.
      Compared to how most people were eating before Keto, they have flushed out a ton of sodium, and are not getting most of it from processed food anymore. Hence body/blood osmosis is flipped to a low sodium state, which has all sorts of weird effects on cells/organs/mind. If you drink more water in the phase, because you are sodium deficient your body will not want to retain that water and will excrete. And along with excreting it, more salt/electrolytes, making you more deficient, and less able to retain water, vicious circle.
      Min RDA for salt is 2300mg EVERY day. Thats 1 Teaspoon of salt in your water.
      Keto-flu is the moniker for this, and throwing a tsp of salt, some concentrated lemon and a magnesium and potassium supplement in a liter of water can flip that frown upside down in 15-20 min.

    Dr. Sten, it was alarming to see how damaging a 10 day SAD diet was for your body and amazing how you were able to reverse your blood work numbers in only a month. You have helped me to keep on track; 2MAD, eating more or less what you've suggested. I have lost half a stone (prob water weight - only been a fortnight) but I'm encouraged to keep going and hopefully ease my painful hip-flexor muscles. Thank you so much.

    I am so thankful I found this channel. I have got a long ways to go. I had some catastrophic events in 2019 and 2020. I stopped everything, sat on the couch playing video game, watching CZcams videos (not this one, obviously), and just staring into the abyss of the internet. I ate and drank anything that could help get me numb. I pretty much gave up. I became obese and am on BP meds and recently started cholesterol meds. I was trying to start back at the gym, but my knee is arthritic and I can't walk on it for a long period of time - hoping the new way of eating will help a little bit, and one of the worst things - edema. I get up all through the night going to the bathroom now. I have been eating "right" for about 1.5 weeks, and in that short amount of time, I am feeling better. I have to keep going. I want to get on the IF, but I am not good at that - yet.
