Hi Doc,
Can you review millets? I am not sure if they are available in US, but I find them really helpful.
Thank You abhineet chaudhary. Millet is a gluten free ancient grain. Many people do really well with it, but if you are diabetic it is still 70-80% starch. I don't eat it regularly, but we feed it to the birds. đ
What can i eat as breakfast instead of the bread?
@@caroladaniel4190 same question??
We havenât eaten bread, pasta and sugar for 4 years now - both aged 73, all medical vitals doing well, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, vitamins/minerals etc. We exercise every day. Thanks Dr Ekberg.
sure but what a boring life...
Excellent
Wait I'm 13 but if you haven't eaten ANY sugar AT ALL how the heck do you keep your blood sugar up
Liar, if you were that age you wouldn't even know how to use a computer, but to type a comment on youtube.
It is necessary to eat everithing, but in different ways and a normal portsion. Sport sre a must! đđâïžđ€©đ
just want to say that I have followed your advice and you honestly may have saved my life...
I was 287 pounds with a 90 resting heartbeat and a average of 165 / 90 blood pressure WITH medications.
I was just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I saw one of your videos and starting to put your methods into practice. It has been 3 and a 1/2 months and I am down in weight from 287 pounds to 228 pounds! My resting heart rate has gone down to 77 beats a minute! My blood pressure has gone down to 120 / 70 and my blood sugar never goes past 100 even when i eat! (Says around 80 while fasting).
I cannot express my gratitude enough Sir, you have My respect and I truly believe in your truth because I live it!
(My apologies but I am going to post this same comment on your other videos in the hope you will see it or that it may inspire someone else).
Congratulations on the weight loss.
God saved your life. Thank Him. Praise be to God đđ IN JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME AMEN!
Iâm about at that point right now. Iâm a few lbs shy of 300, my resting heart rate is at 95-100. And Iâm starting to show symptoms of pre diabetes. And I eat carbs like crazy, pasta, pizza, rice, instant noodles, and sweets. Iâm going keto omad again cause it worked so well last time. Maybe Iâll comment again in a few months with my progress!
60 lbs in 3 and a half months is HUGE! Congrats! đȘđ»đđ»
Iâm so happy for you. I lost 65 pounds in 2 1/2 month by cutting sodium to less than 2000mg per day and cutting carbs to 30mg per meal and 15mg for my two snacks per day.
I havenât eaten bread in 30 months and itâs one of the best decisions in my life.
I finally gave up sugar, every flour baked items, pastas, and rice. I tried doing this years ago, but couldnât give up my sweets. I knew I was taken in too many carbs because of the way my body looked and how I felt;I got tired of feeling tired and achy. I started a high protein, healthy fats, low carb eating with very little carbsâŠveggies only. What a big difference on how I feel. I also knew that changing my eating habits would help, I just needed to be at that point in my life to want to change it. I love myself for it. â„ïž
We bought a house in 2020 and I had a new kitchen and I went crazy baking. I literally ate those 20 lbs I gained in 6 months with all the baked goods. But now I'm back on track and am making a plan now for the holidays so I don't go nuts again this Christmas.
@@chrissyellem7397 I love homemade baked everything! Lol I probably would have done the same thingâŠglad youâre back on track. đ
Great job! Bread and similar products make me tired, achy, and Itchy. Happy to meat youđ
Since July 21, 2021 I committed to his plan. I was 325 lbs and A1C of 9.0. I am now 257 lbs and my A1C is 4.5. Thank you.
You're welcome. Roy Milner. My pleasure. You did the work on yourself and deserve credit for that. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations! Great job!
Great job!
That's amazing!
Nice
Dr Sten, I am nearly 59 years old, from South Africa. Found your channel end of July. Stopped sugar and starch immediately. Slowly moved to keto from 1 August. Sometimes IF when I reach a plateau. Lost 30.6kg to date. 2kg to go. Off all pain meds for my inflamed joints for weeks already. Depression better, energy amazing. Sinus cleared. No cravings, no hunger! I cannot thank you enough for patiently explaining the benefits of a healthy lifestye with the best choices regarding food.
That is great! What was your starting weight?
Thank you Engela van Tonder. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. đ
@@Charles.Wright Obese! 107.6kg
Good for you. It takes a lot of discipline and willpower to make those radical changes in your life. I hope you keep improving
@@sergiovr3 Thank you!
Iâve not eaten bread for six months. Iâve lost 69 pounds. I feel much better, more energetic and my health has drastically improved. I still have incurable problems but Iâm very happy with my weight loss. Iâm 70 years old.
Iâm 79 year old male, stopped eating bread and biscuits as New Years resolution. To date Iâve lost 14 lbs in weight and I feel really good in myself. I religiously walk 10 miles everyday. My BMI just puts me on the overweight mark (just) for my age and height. My aim is to lose another 10lbs. I have no desire to eat bread anymore. Love these videos.
I stopped eating bread for almost two years now. I am much trimmer (lost 85 lbs), better immune system (have not been sick in the time), and almost never hungry. I feel wonderful!!
Good for you đ
Thank you Justin Hunt for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results.ï»ż Keep it up! đ
đđ
When I went on keto in January 2017. Lost 30 lbs, blood sugar came down to 5.1 from 6.3 , weight 164 to 134. I was almost diabetic.
But you mentioned you havenât been sick and itâs blown my mind that I havenât had a cold or flu since 2017 . I thought that was crazy good !!!
Thanks justin. I will try tomorrow morning .from sri lanka đ±đ° â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
@@HoneyDrake That is fantastic. I had similar results. Keep up the good work.
Been watching for about 3 months now. Watched the top 10 best foods to eat video, also a lot about fasting "what to do and what not to do". I'm 26, 6ft tall and was on the brink of 250lbs December 2022. Your videos, advice and wisdom have changed my life. I'm down to 195lbs as of today Feb 2023, and my goal of 170lbs is feeling very close. I'm confident I will see that sooner than I ever thought, and it's all because of you. Thank you for everything. You gave me confidence, hope, and changed my mindset on how to live a long healthy life. I as well as countless others appreciate you more than you know. Can't thank you enough đ
Congratulations đ Thatâs a huge accomplishment!!
Iâve been off bread now for six weeks for weight loss reasons. What I didnât expect was the lowering of my blood pressure, which went down from 150/90 to about 120/80. It was too high for years and I just gave up trying to lower it. What a nice side effect!
@@surpriseverzamelaar just eat more of the fillings, with a big pile of salad đ I adore bread but feel so much better when I donât eat it. I rarely buy it now. Itâs a âtreatâ but interestingly I donât enjoy it so much now.
Congratulations Burt the Man. "Side Effects" of helping the body work again are called bonuses. đ
I just discovered eggs mixed with a little cheese and put on a chaffle iron which is a smaller version of A Waffle iron For a single person Is my substitute for Bread itâs wonderful Lots of recipes on CZcams they are called chaffles you wonât be disappointed
@@janicepaul9957 also jaffles the iron is called a jaffle iron
Good work bro. I've done it for just over 2 months and having same results. Doc want me to go on blood pressure meds. Cut out carbs and BP is now 120/80.
I started keto a few months ago, the pounds are rolling off and I no longer have joint pain and chronic peripheral neuropathy by getting rid of all the carbs and sugar. I ate brown rice a few times and within 2 hours my legs were very painful and I was so depleted of energy I had to take a nap. Learned my lesson.
I'm over weight, have ibs, and blood sugar used to tank on and off all the time. Husband and I started portion control and keto living ( not super strict keto, lowering carbs/starch and no sugar). It's amazing how much better I feel. Little to no stomach issues, down 30lbs, and haven't had a single sugar issue. I always avoided salad bc I thought I couldn't tolerate it, cut out the junk foods, now I have zero issues with salads and leafy greens
The same happened with me. I had stomach issues but when I modified my diet, it got better. I also do Intermittent fasting, eliminating breakfast. We donât need to eat many times a day, pumping glucose.
Congratulations. I gave up bread and sugar years ago for 6 months and I let someone talk me into having a piece of birthday cake đ. Years later I have been trying to give it up again. I hope this year will be the charm.
@@YolandaisYolandaCooks you can give it up! It truly is an addiction, and a hard one to break! You've got this!
@@YolandaisYolandaCooks I know what you mean. If weâre not careful and we let others convince us to get off plan and then weâre the ones who suffer. I did keto/low carb for 18 months & lost 40 lbs. Then I allowed othersâ influence me and completely stopped eating that way and gain just about all of it back. Iâm gradually making correct decisions until Iâm consistently eating low carb. Wish you the best! Happy New YearđđđđŸđđđđŸđđđđŸ
Good for you. About 4 years ago I started a relaxed Keto diet. Im 5'10 and went from 385lbs to 220lbs in about 14 mths.
Dr. Ekberg I am a four year disciplined follower of intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating (NEVER eat after Sundown) and eating of natural and organic foods and very little bread. It turned my poor health - facing heart and knee surgery - completely around - NO surgery or drugs. You were part of that. I appreciate your informed and clearly and simply reported - for the layman- knowledge and wisdom.
I am 70 years of age. I recently shot my age (70) in a round of golf - a very rare accomplishment. I recently won the 60+ men age group in a 5K hilly cross-country race - beating ALL the 14 men ALL of whom were younger than me. But my average weekly mileage for the past 6 months was only 1.2 miles (hardly anything). Last week I swam 1,700 yards (almost a mile) but it was only the 3rd time that I have swum in the past 2 years. I barely exercise although I was a fit runner/triathlete over a decade ago. How is this possible given I was supposed to have heart and knee surgery 4 years ago?
Our bodies were designed to performed "Olympically" - IF TREATED PROPERLY. I know that I am "preaching (not only) to the choir)" but to one of the choir leaders and an athlete. I want you and your readers to know this bit of hidden critical wisdom.
Around 1752 a British lieutenant, Henry Timberlake lived with the indigenous Cherokee indians for about year near the Smoky Mountain area. As a soldier of about 34 years of age, of that heartier era and having walked most of the way from the east coast, he was fit. Yet in his 1800 autobiography, he wrote of how fit the indians were. This was only a small page or two (way in the back as though not that important). He sheepishly reported that even the older women were impressive. As an example, he cited one woman whose age he knew (62) and she was about an inch or so shorter than him. He said she would routinely carrying a lot of weight which he estimated at about 200 pounds. He did not say what she was carrying but I guessed it might have been a yoke across the back neck to carry water (?) He sheepishly admitted that he could not do what that woman was doing. I learned of this man and book in reading that the TN Valley Authority (TVA) used his book to find lost Indian villages - so that they could save archeological artifacts - prior to building the dams and flooding the area in the 1930's. They found him to be extremely accurate. A precise man. So it is unlikely his book was an exaggeration about what he witnessed.
In addition Timberlake reported that he learned that the "elders" included "a noticeable number of people around 150 years of age".... and "still quite active". Contrast that historical fact with today's "modern medicine" culture. Maybe the accounts that Abraham (and others) lived to 175 are true.
And why did Timberlake travel so far mostly on foot. He volunteered to be a "Treaty hostage" for a treaty between the British and the Cherokee - who did not trust the British AT ALL and demanded a "hostage" who would have had a horrible end if the British reneged on the treaty. He lived a long life and passed on these brief but invaluable bits of wisdom from the past.
In the spirit of Mr. Timberlake, keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next tube-of-wisdom.
PS. I will be providing comments to one of your videos on fasting. Two incredible stories beyond even my experience.
Those are some great accomplishments on your part!! THANKS for the positive message!! Have a good day!!
You should really fast for a full 24hrs (drinking only pure filtered water) once a week to get the full cleansing the liver and kidneys require to clear out the toxins they absorb. However, if what you are doing is working for you then more power to you.
I fasted "religiously" in the manner I described for about two years (including no smoking; I was and am still a smoker) and it produced profound beneficial effects.
It's been well over 10 years since I last did it and I believe my body may now be "telling me" I need to return to the practise once again.
Stop eating bread. Unless it is from sprouted, raw, organic, buckwheat, chia, Qinoa, linseeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds.
Let the sun bake it for 3 or 4 hours.
I just bought a copy of "The Memoirs of Lt. Henry Timberlake" after reading your comment. Thanks for the recommendation! I love reading exploits of the explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Just finished "Explorations and Adventures", by the great explorer Henry M. Stanley. What an adventure indeed!
sad thing is being an indian ppl here like to follow west because the mind is set like that and the advancedment in routine activities involving gadgets is killing ppl slowly and greed is filling food with adultration all this and more is reducing lifespan of humans(selfish creatures) and harming the nature as well .i dont see what is the advancement in finding new in tech which leads to death of humans as well as environment .
Giving up bread was probably the single best decision of my life ever, it was also one of the hardest tho, I spent almost 30 years eating at least 2 slices of bread every single day; the first 2 weeks after giving it up, I felt the worst withdrawal I've ever felt in my life, I was very anxious, but those two weeks were the most substantial to my weight loss & health path (I lost like 9kg in those two weeks, just by giving up bread), all my life I was convinced that bread was a staple and I would feel weakness if I gave it up because "I would not have carbs", now that I see this video I'm 100% that it's the best decision I've ever made and after 2 years without bread I feel great and don't miss it at all...
đ
It's the hardest thing to give up. I've happily given up pasta, rice and potatoes for 9 months but still struggling with bread.
@@radicalcartoons2766 please take my exciting advice try making chaffles theyâre on CZcams for keto you can add whatever you want thatâs not carbs basis is eggs and cheddar cheese or any cheese that works for you The recipe say half a cup of cheese but we modify what we like itâs my replacement for bread and I never crave bread because this is great and light so you donât get tired after we eat it
@@radicalcartoons2766 Yes all those foods are super easy for me to give up but bread is hard. My dad gave me a salad from Panera but of course it came with bread and the smell of it I was just struggling. I gave it to my son for his dinner side.
I donât think you lost 9kg in two weeks by giving up 2 slices of bread a day !! 2 slices of bread is very low amount of bread itâs not even 200 calories!! Some people eat a loaf of bread in a day !! Then I could understand losing a few kilograms but not 9 kg in a week not a chance !!
I canât believe your lectures are free. They are very educational.
They have 2.4m subscribers, they earn a lot by people watching these movies like you and me
Sten makes about $5 MILLION annually based on the subscriber count and U foolishly think he is doing it for U n I LOL.
@@dol3980 noooo shiiiittrr really?!?

I'm sure he's not doing it for money. He's doing it to help people. He doesn't have to waste his time. He cares for people. If you don't appreciate the information don't watch.
I'm diabetic and I stopped eating oat, wheat and rice products for over six months now. I've lost around 20 pounds and my energy levels (desire for activity) have noticeably risen. Also, I don't have the intestinal cramps, I used to get daily.
Sorry for asking, what do you eat for breskfast? It is just to get ideas I can copyđ.
Any alternative of oats, wheat and rice???
I am diebetic, what should I eat l
Instead of bread, oats rice, wheat
Sounds like you like myself have celiac disease which is an allergy to gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease.
Please share what you eat for breakfast
Iâve spent hours this year watching and learning from Dr. Sten since April 2021. 67 yrs old and almost 45 lbs lighter. A1C in late August was 4.8. I donât know what it was before April. Worked up to around 70,000 steps a week. Wishing Dr. Ekberg, staff and all his viewers all the best.
Thank You Mark Smith. Congratulations on your progress. I appreciate the feedback. Wishing you all the best as well for the new year.đ
@ìĄ°ì±í Eating Seonghyeon Hello from America brother
@ìĄ°ì±í Eating Seonghyeon hello from germany bro
70.000 steps a week is that not just normal? I mean, can you avoid that if you have a job and a social life?
Man I use to walk 20,000 steps daily at my job and now I miss it... Once winter is gone and weather reaches 45 imma start walking again w daily 15K steps... 70K a week is great actually I wanna get my mom to do this she's 60 and is diabetic though her a1c is normal but she's overweight n I know I can motivate her to loose 30lbs ... I wanna loose 50lbs too
Simply fabulous way of explaining. I tried years ago, first few days are hard, but it does get easier and the results were quick. 6 weeks off bread, 9 kg down. No other restrictions. I even had a bit of chocolate now and then. But now I finally understand the whole mystery behind it. Amazing lecture!!!
Thanks for the encouragement đ
Did you do keto or were you just not eating bread?
This is amazing! I reduced dramatically my bread consumption since the beginning of 2021 starting with more than 4 weeks without any kind of wheat. All your explanation make a lot of sense to me. One of the first thing I notice was that I felt with more energy among other things. Thank you Dr. Sten, You have a new follower here. Greetings from Venezuela!
Last two summers, I committed suicidal by eating tons of watermelon đđąđđ , I bought 10 watermelon đ in one time and ate one each day, it was suicidal, I now quitted watermelon đ and sugar and reduced carbs intakes, my family doctor said my blood sugar is ok.
I keep it up
I thought I would die if I'm not able to eat any kind of bread. Even the smell of freshly baked bread is always calling me to buy a piece. But as I started switching to Keto, I never crave for breads anymore. Even if I was served a variety of bread infront of me, I automatically say no. Never felt any better. And there are some alternatives to bread even when on you're doing Keto. That's what I like better. Health wise too!
I love sandwiches. So, other than big flat leafy greens what do I use instead of bread? Sardine and onion sammies on a collard leaf? Really? BLT on a lettuce leaf? PBJ on a romaine leaf?
I'm 81 and going strong. I just don't ever eat rice, wheat pasta or baked goodies nor do I drink sweet tea or sodas, beer, wine or booze. That should be enough sacrifice. Just a frequent sandwich every week. If not, just shoot me now!
@@leighburville2717 lol, you won already! I had joint pain and eliminated wheat and food from the nightshade food group. The Dr diagnosed me with osteoarthritis and it went away after years of suffering. So I had to.
Thank You Marie Cherrilynn Tan. Congratulations on your results. Bread is a habit and and addiction like most other things. đ
It's been 6 months since I quit gluten, sugar and seed oils and now do cold therapy and i turn 50 next month and have never felt better in my life. Trust me, nothing taste as good and being healthy
I started at 306.8 April 27th 2021. I'm now down to 217 and still goin. No bread, no carbs no alcohol no excersize. Feel Great.
I watched this video 6 months ago and just now for the 2nd time. I thought my first viewing was informative, but after 6 months of Dr. Ekberg and other like minded folks on You Tube, this second viewing really made a much more profound impact on my understanding of the issue. I havenât had a slice of bread, a grain of rice, a single pasta noodle now for 16 months. So I can speak from personal experience, it takes awhile to gradually turn around a lifetime of nutritional ignorance, but the positive impacts of bettering your lifestyle can be noticed within days, weeks and months.
I really appreciate the way Dr. Ekberg presents information and the science he brings. He brings the WHY the Standard American Diet is creating untold, expensive health issues to the world. Thank You Dr. Ekberg!!
Thank you doctor since I followed I stop eating bread and sugary foods and drinks.
I only have a teaspoon of table sugar on my morning coffee.
It was great. I lost 9 kg of weight. I am just 34 year old guy
Iâm off all grains. I feel fabulous. I donât get comatose after eating anymore.
Thank You Renato D'Amico. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations. đ
I love this doctor. His videos are soooo detailed, unbiased and informative
BUT : Serioisally lacks Ă (nuanced) very short resume intro.
Possibly the best video Iâve ever seen on this subjectâŠ..thank you for taking the time to share
I just wanted to tell you that you really changed my life and I intermittent fast and pretty strict keto and I cut out every single bit of sugar no processed foods nothing. You would not believe how good I feel I feel like I did when I was a kid and less energy no aches or pains itâs amazing I wish everybody would watch you thank you
Thank You Charm Farm. I'm thrilled to hear about your success and I appreciate the feedback. đ
Less energy!?
@@larbueno I think he tried to say more energy! now hehee
Awesome I am heading that way to sugar is poison!
I would like to do the same thing but I can't have foods that are high and fat and I know keto lets you have things like butter and but I can't have all that high fat stuff either so it's like I have to cut out carbs but I have to be on a low carb and low fat at the same time and I have to restrict my sodium as well. I know pretty strict diet but that's what I have to do. I know it's going to be difficult but doctor's orders so I got to figure out what foods I can eat without adding a lot of the junk!
I stopped eating bread(wheat in particular) 40 years ago. It changed my life; digestive problems, gas, IBS, bloating, anxiety - all gone. I prove it occasionally by having a bread session. There is no doubt about it.
"40 years ago" wow. A long time ago.
It's been about 2 years since I have cut out gluten and it helped a lot with depression/anxiety and brain fog.
I suffer ibs ,I love bread but I really must cut it out altogether. I see it helped you thank you.
I suffer from all these what else did you do I need to gain weight
The best pizza I ever ate was 40 years ago in NYC. There is no way it would taste that good now. Things are so processed with horrible chemicals there's no point in trying to eat bread products.
@Brushcrawler What do you know about the subject? It's nothing new. I am neither a doctor nor an illusionist. I speak from actual experience as do others. Amazing isn't it? Food affects the brain - who would have thought!
I appreciate Sten, the enormous amount of research and presentations you give us. Enhancement to our lives.
Great video. Broke down all the complicated details very well, so easy to understand and also useful graphic representations. Thanks đ
You're welcome K A. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.đ
You should tell the older folk, I am in my mid 70's, the difficulty with starting this change in life style. I adopted this different way of looking at food in June 2021. My life has been extremely difficult with the changes. 70 plus years of pouring junk in this body. It does not give up easily. The pain, the incredible cramping and weakness as the body rids itself of toxins is not for the faint of heart.
My Grandmother will be 90 on the 27th; she is still sharp as ever, has not eaten bread since her 20's. As kids we always thought it was weird when we ordered pizza and grandma only ate the toppings, now I see she was onto something!
Thank You Durka Durk. Smart grand-ma đ
Happy birthday grandma đ” †Bless us with ur knowledge đ đ
My grandma lived to the age of 98, and she ate bread all the time. Weird, huh?
my grandma ate everything, and she loved Cheerios and died at 103.5 with her mind still sharp...my grandfather was a vegetarian and passed at 85
I make my own bread using organic seeds. I have noticed a huge difference alone on that. But I only eat bread twice a week. I eat Whole Foods as a main diet so I donât have digestive issues ever with eating bread in moderation. But yes I agree our food in the last 50 has gotten worse. Thank you for the valuable info!!! God bless â€

Did you stop fruit and sweet things things like that too For your blood pressure to drop?
@@elinmansson5535 I never had fruit in my life but I stopped the very few croissant đ„ and coke drinks too. Also no đș beer fore three weeks as it has a higher glicemic index than sugar (110). Months later i dropped from 78 kg to 62 and my blood pressure and cholesterol dropped back to good levels. I check all including triglicerid frequently in the comfort of my home.
Exactly 4 years ago today, 12/24/2017, I began Keto and OMAD/IF. I stopped all grains and white starches including potatoes and pastas. Also stopped seed oils. Today, at 69 years old, my gut health has never been better. I have also been at normal BMI since August 2017. Everything Dr Ekberg says here, and in his other videos, is true. Agree, 'just try it' for 30 days, then go from there. Thanks Dr. Ekberg for all you do in helping us, and your excellent videos!
Hi. I'm a 69 male also. I don't eat bread now but I'm six months eating museli every morning (with cow's milk) which is made up of wheat, other grains, seeds and dried raisins etc. I've had health issues recently and I'm taking new medication. I feel tired which may be caused by the all museli breakfast but I blamed the new medication. I would be grateful if you would post here what Foods you actually eat.
Your fitness is admirable. Well done.
Hej Dr Ekberg! Tack för dina fantastiska inlÀgg som Àr sÄ pedagogiska & lÀrorika. Jag undrar bara om det finns möjlighet om översÀttning pÄ svenska. Mvh /L
I'm on my way with revamping my diet due to overweight and intermittent digestive issues. I definitely have had leaky gut, probably most of my life without being able to recognize it. Dr. Ekberg's lectures keep me tuned in to myself and motivate me to keep going. I am currently giving up grains as a staple (just about totally despite cultural immersion) and reducing all sugars. I am also actually enjoying intermittent fasting. One's body really gets used to it and it feels quite empowering. I think I just moved into more effective satiety, now that Dr. Sten named it for me. I am excited to see what happens next as I have about 35 - 40 pounds to lose, age 66.
To fatten animals, feed them grains. Works on humans too. Letâs make Health our priority for 2022.
Thank You Carey Stoneking. Well said. Let's grow the tribe of Health champions in 2022. The world needs a new paradigm. đ
You are right about that watched a episode on Oprah a few years ago and they would put holes in cows and shove grain in the stomach to fatten them up faster to slaughter them.
Grains are cheap if you want to have a calorific surplus, you want to spout some conspiracy that grains are making you fat while many that have subsisted of them for long without obesity issues are ignored.
@@dallysinghson5569 Thing is with bread it's that it's not filling, it has no nutritional value so you overeat without thinking. You eat a steak and you are full. You can down a large pizza alone and still feel hungry, even if you are full of food. I personally have no issues eating rice, but wheat products bloat me and I feel tired. Occasional slice of cake is fine but if I eat wheat products daily - it drains me and my joints are sore.
@@kruger4444
I find opposite, rice NEVER fills me regardless if brown or not. Bread must be wholemeal for it to be fulfilling. Apples/fruit, etc, are not fulfilling for me. It varies from person to person but what is frustrating is seeing people that are so dogmatic in this whole "anti-carb" thing we have going on here. No shortage of these Atkin diet folk banging on about the evils of carbs when in actuality they were eating junk carbs rather than wholemeal.
30 days is a good start. I did that 4 years ago, and my reversal of multiple gut issues (bloating, cramping, frequent diarrheia , IBS, reflux), was so dramatic, I've been keto+IF ever since. I was keeping a food & symptoms diary at the time, and results of going ultra low carb/no bread etc. was obvious. Bless you Dr. Ekberg for putting this message out!
You're welcome. Robnord1. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I developed a problem with insulin, being tired, overweight, and high blood pressure. My primary position has tried, but has not been able to resolve my problems.
I decided to search for an explanation about problems that I did not understand. Someone needed to explain things in such a way that they were understandable, somehow or another I found you! I try to watch one of your videos every day. A few of your videos I have had to watch twice and one video I had to watch it three times. I am limiting sugar to about 3 tablespoons a week. Anything with alcohol is totally gone my love for baking bread is suffering because I have totally quit eating bread because of your videos. When things normalize, and I feel good again, as I should, then I shall eat bread again.
I appreciate the clarity of your teachings. Thank you.
Sadly, I found out I had Celiac disease about 10 yrs ago. The transition from a wheat gluten diet to a non gluten diet was extraordinarily difficult. Celiac also causes various sensitivities to other types of gluten and just some other foods in general. If you eat in restaurants there is no way to avoid accidental gluten no matter how hard you try. It takes me about a week to recover from eating hidden gluten and it is not pleasant.
Thank You Jeff Scott. What makes it difficult is that we have a culture based on grain. It shows up at every turn. It simplifies things if food is just "meat and veggies" like humans have always eaten. đ
Similar story. Coeliac is unique, as diseases go, in that once you stop eating the poison that triggers its symptoms (gluten), recovery from the damage is rapid, with even the gut fully self-repairing in less than 2 years. I wish I'd discovered I was coeliac decades ago. The damage is systemic and the symptoms so varied it can be difficult to make the necessary connections. And coeliac often occurs with other immune system related diseases, which further muddies the waters
How do test for celiac disease
I have the same issues with bread and pasta. Now eating gluten free. Replaced with plain rice. Started eating more of a Japanese diet using gluten free soy. Cut out sugars. Eating fermented and pickled fruits and veggies.
â@@jtobit Try making a food diary research safe foods for celiac disease. Only eat approved non processed foods and sugar. If it helps. Go to your Doctor tell them the way your body has acted after eating grain free for 30 days. Write a diary five days before you start The days before you start you will have noticed signs and symptoms that improve during the 30 days. Sleeping habits. Digestion. Bowel movements. Write everything down. If you can take your own blood sugar. Blood pressure and sats during this time. It's all evidence that will help your Doctor to see if you need a referral to a specialist. This video is extremely useful. I have auto immune response to gluten. Joint pain and swelling and IBS.
I stopped eating breads, sometimes it's unavoidable, but overall I've stopped. I eat whole foods, fruits and vegetables. I also eat A LOT of organic plain yoghurt everyday which has been a game changer.
My stomach is flat, I've lost excess weight, no more bloating and close to zero gas.
Not to mention, I feel amazing.
which organic plain yoghurt you get ?
What else do you eat give me ideas
The Organic Yoghurt I eat is local to my country (South Africa). I buy it from a shop called Woolworths. All that it has is organic full cream milk, two types of live cultures and plant based stabilizers. There are no preservatives so you have to eat it within 3 days of opening.
So for breakfast I eat this yogurt with a banana, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.
For lunch I'll have some protein(boiled egg, ostrich, chicken etc), salad, avo and fold it in a wrap( cauliflower ).
Then for dinner, anything healthy really. Chicken salad, steak, curry, stirfry etc.
Portion sizes are also key. Stop eating until you get that feeling of been full. Don't go for seconds. 3 smaller portions of meals a day is more then enough. Within 2 weeks your stomach will shrink and you will feel like you no longer need to eat as much anymore and the hunger pains will go away.
Trust me once you change your diet and stay mentally strong, the rest will follow.

Congratulations!
im glad you werent a fan of bread like me..so this choice is sooo much easier for you. I love sandwiches, burgers,chx sandwiches, almost everything i eat is sandwiched between bread, just like sugar, water is so boring..i need flavor. and ill never want to give up these foods/drink. so il always have this problem. my only solution is dry fasting like 3 days out of the month to balance out.
I gave up bread for 90 days when I did the paleo diet with a friend. The pain associated with my spinal disease greatly diminished.
I love all of your videos. They are truly eye opening. Wanting to see changes in my overall health, my eating habits have really changed because of you and now I feel better than ever. Thank you for posting this. I was wondering if you could make a video on rice based pasta? â€
Thank U Dr. I knew some of what U R Talking about.But I Gave up so many foods but went back to bread & glutin.I am not loosing weight.Now I am going to give up bread! Your program is WONDERFUL!
I started eating bread over the last 3 weeks due to surgery recovery and being off my regular regimen...I ate those hard flat dense breads called "health" bread and pumpernickel. Now I am getting asthma and mucous build up--even had to take asthma meds 2x. I am glad I did this as a test just to underscore why I don't eat it.
Thank You Fadista. Yes. You just proved to yourself where you are on the sensitivity scale. đ

I have left wheat grain since 4 years. Every time when i was asked "why" i have no scientific logic except wheat has caused me stomach pain, headaches, food craving all the time and high weight. I came across this video and i have my answers. Thank you sir that is a very comprehensive video a detailed account on wheat. I admire your efforts.
Great vid. Went cold turkey on gluten 4 years ago (wheat, barley, rye, etc) due to excessive back and groin pain and it changed my life. It was by far the best thing I ever did for quality of life. I lost weight with no effort, back and joint pain went away, skin problems cleared up and my mind was clearer. I know I sound like an infomercial, but it is what it is. Your explanation of the slow to digest element of wheat/many grains (and gluten) makes a ton of sense and the Pinsa, invented in Italy in the early 2000s is a great option for those that love pizza but hate the bloated/full feeling. While Pinsa is not gluten free, the wheat/rice/soy combined with a sourdough starter and long fermentation creates a easily digestible dough that someone with NCGS can like enjoy. I much appreciate your channel as I've been fighting the cholesterol scam since I was playing college soccer with a 300+ TC and a roommate was a research assistant and aware of unpublished studies. The pharma industry has way too much control and I've been pushing back since the early 80s. Now, in my late 50s I'm at my college soccer weight, run with the 30 year old's and enjoy an active mountain lifestyle with very little "training" routines. I just wish I had gotten off gluten decades ago, it would have saved me a ton of discomfort. Thanks for all you contribute and your courage to push back.
This is so awesome ! I'm discovering this channel but this one video in itself is such a high value message, summarizing with clarity and visual aids everything that I had already heard through my journey among natural health professionals. Can't wait to discover other postings.
A thousand thanks from France !

You're welcome Running with Scissors. My pleasure. Thanks for watching.đ
No One was able to provide such a complete info. After 3 years of research I knew but was not able to understand how the gut stress effects blood vessels to shrink and put whole body under the same kind of stress. Thank you so much for this complete picture of whats really going on inside the body it helped me understand my health even better.... Now I'm able to put & connect all the pieces together to create an optimal health condition for myself.
This video is the ultimate 'IBS for dummies', a treasure trove of knowledge about relation between nutrition and gut issues which even many of the so called doctors are ignorant of. Dr. Ekberg you are awesome!
After reading 'Wheat Belly', I have stopped eating bread and grains in general for few month now and seen nothing but good results: My IBS is gone and my chronic dry eyes is much improved. Salad, nuts and meat all the way!
I stopped eating bread three years ago, along with most other carbohydrates. It has helped my Type 2 diabetes tremendously.
Any alternatives or do you just go hungry?
The upside to not buying bread, sugar or junk food is that I had money to buy something I really love, pecans! Just got home from grocery shopping with my daughter and it was harder than I thought it would be to not buy bread,etc. but I did it!
I just bought a whole pound of pecans yesterday!!!! They are very healthy
How do you not go hungry?
@@Jimmy911ism who says i don't. When did going/being hungry for a few hours become a bad thing? I remember being hungry all the time growing up. We ate three meals a day with no in between snacks (for the most part) didn't eat past 6 o'clock and i didn't have a weight problem, had loads of energy and slept like a rock.
@@jerikropp6394 I remember those days! We'd have cereal or toast in the morning, walk about 3km to school, have a meat pie from the canteen/sandwiches from home, walk 3km home, play/do chores then a cooked dinner at 6pm, more play, bed at 8pm/9pm.
When working, even if it's physical, I'm usually standing up or kneeling down, not running around... yet I get hungrier than when I was at school. Right now I'm on the dole again due to the pandemic - I'm hungrier still!
Thanks for this very helpful advice. I've stayed away from bread, pasta, rice or any other processed carbs for 4 years and I feel great.
Thank you so much for the explanations you provide about the body and food. I've only begun cutting out sugar and bread in the past two weeks and can't believe the results. I've struggled with bloating for years and had no idea how quickly it would go away after cutting out bread. I'm an athlete and run about 20 miles a week and race 5ks periodically. Should I be worried about performance with the reduced carbs? I'm a 49 year old healthy female. I'd love to see a video about how this way of eating effects runners. Thank you so much!!!
Bread is gone out of my life, for about one week now I started taking my carb intake very seriously because I can tell I have an insulin issue, I have skin tags, I canât lose weight even though Iâve tried IF, I have a hanging belly, and I just havenât been feeling my best for a while, all that while spending hundreds on food at Whole Foods monthly, soo back to the drawing board I go.....This video showed up right on time. đ
Try stop eating , drink protein shakes and take vitamins that have b12.
Let your body start eating the fat to stay alive instead of letting it have food .
Drink lots of water
Activated charcoal probly works!
This was great. I heard on Chef's Table that Modern Wheat at the grocery store only has about 6 percent of the nutrients that real fresh baked Wheat Bread has. I also know that if I ever want to lose weight, cutting out bread for me is literally a fast track. Everyone's body is different but wow. No beer or bread on top of running a few days a week really worked for me personally.
The rushed process takes out all the good stuff. Bread used to take a lot longer to make.

Can't be grateful enough for your wisdom, knowledge and passion! Thank you
I haven't eaten bread for 8 weeks. And out of all the carbs I've cut, bread was the hardest. I work long hours including nightshifts and putting some toast on at 2am was such a morale boost and an easy go to. I don't get cravings for cereal, pastry or potatoes but sometimes I miss bread. But I'm enjoying feeling healthier too much to break. I hope...

My husband Steve has stopped eating bread completely. He used to experience horrendous trapped gas which caused his abdomen to become rock hard. He would also feel nauseous and would belch continually for anything up to 3 hours!! Since he stopped eating bread his life has been transformed.

Mr. Ekberg ...
I've been trying to fight A LOTTA different cravings, habits, addictions regarding foods and liquids...
but now I've become addicted to watching, listening and learning from your videos !!! đđ
(Wrote "day 14" in my logbook this morning (6th of July 2022) of 18:6 IF/OMAD with close to NO processed foods: "If you can't read it, don't eat it!" type of (literally) raw materials for dinner. Yes, a lotta water goes in the toilet (insulin level going down), yes, a LOTTA "noise" between my ears about all the "good stuff" I'm going to eat ... but no.
I WILL push through these. Disheartening that it may take MONTHS ... but what is life if your heart stops working ...
Cigarettes is a tuff one, but motivation is growing daily! Fortunately I can KEEP drinking coffee with this approach to getting healthier! đ
Went from 100 kg to 95, but that was the easy part of peaing excess water every 15 minutes, but now I go for the "hard to get" fat around the belly in the next month or two.

Great lecture. Quite recently, on my own body, I became convinced not to eat bread. For a long time I have had shortness of breath that I would liken to asthma. I notice that the bread is the cause, but I also suspect the dairy products. I haven't eaten bread for several weeks and I can see a significant improvement. Nights slept peacefully with a deeper, calm breath. This lecture will motivate me to persevere and change my eating habits. Thank you very much.
Quitting bread and cereal was easy - never really enjoyed eating them. But the sugar cravings are much harder to keep away.
Everytime I eat a lot of wheat products especially bread, my face swell up and after a few days it goes away. These days after consuming bread or other wheat products I feel good but bad afterwards.

Great lecture! Gave up bread for the past year - feel great and donât even miss it anymore.
I had trouble with wholemeal bread to the point I often felt very ill so cut out the wholegrain but switched to white bread. It's changed my life. I feel so much better but bread is the lazy way.

I am a 54 yo American male of Irish/Scottish ancestry, standing 5'5" and on 1 Dec weighed 204.7 pounds - the heaviest of my life (left h.s. at 127lbs).
For the entire month of December 2021 (31st today) I ate only a vegetarian diet. Additionally, I made most food, avoiding highly processed food which included breads. My only (primary) source of sugar was raw honey. My dairy intake consisted of kefir, yogurt, cheese and eggs.
What were my findings?
1) appetite reduction, as well as zero cravings for meat or sugars
2) abdominal regularity (no bloating or discomfort)
3) energy increase
4) decreased joint stiffness or pain
5) better quality sleep
6) my waist and abdomen have decreased in circumstance (I measure and weigh tomorrow).
However, on one occasion (23 Dec) for dinner I had a few slices of vegetarian pizza and within 10 mins my abdomen blew up as if I had a basketball under my shirt - it was tight as a drum - and lower abdominal pain followed, along with gas and a less than firm bowel movement the next morning.
For the 31 days of January 2022 I will fast, ingesting water only. I did this December 2020, with amazing results. Then in February I'll return to a vegetarian diet and afterwards access my health. At that time I'll slowly transition back to an omnivorous diet by introducing one type of meat each month beginning with fish in March, poultry in April, beef in May and pork in June. My findings will determine a permanent lifestyle change.
Thank you for this very insightful presentation. Your information will help determine my future dietary choices.
Would love to hear a monthly update on your results,
One full month water fast??
I have a life threatening wheat allergy, so it was really fun and interesting to learn about the things I should be benefiting from with NO wheat in my diet. Thanks for the fun science lesson.
