Thank you Dr. Sten for all the Fantastic work and education you have provided! I have question for you, could you do an explanation/analysis on the Japanese diet? They have a very Rice/glucose heavy diet and many many recipes calling for sugar in their proteins (like Gyudon, Oyakodon, Teriyaki sauce, etc) yet they live longer and healthier. I would love to know if Rice is still so villainous and offender when examining Rice heavy culture's health? Thank you so much and I hope you continue to share and teach!
I am in!
The thing I found out when I cut carbs is that it's a lot harder to fall asleep. Carbs actually helped me get better sleep
I'm with ya! I've been on the Keto eating plan for 3 months.
I FEEL great!
I am losing weight!
Inflammation is nearly gone! But. . . .
I DO NOT SLEEP!!
Dr. Sten how can you get off of BP Meds when the body is use to the medication?
I was diagnosed with insulin resistance about 20 years ago. I went home and got rid of any sugar in my house. My teenagers were mortified. My condition reversed and I find my attraction to sugar gone as well. I also started to listen to my body and started fasting. I was 296 lbs and now I bounce between 146-152.
Wow!: Great job. Enjoy the rest of your healthy lifestyle. God bless.
Congratulations on your better health!
A tough and worthy decision
I finally said goodbye to all sugery stuff and since then my life is so much better. If I need something baked I use erythrit, no difference to sugar.
Cheers and good luck 💖🦋🇨🇭👍.
Congratulations! That is amazing! That’s what I want-sugar cravings gone!
I just turned 52 a few weeks ago. Three months ago, I reached my heaviest weight ever at around 255 lbs, my blood pressure averaged around 145/90 daily. I had a generally active lifestyle and I thought I ate pretty well but my weight just kept going up and I couldn't figure it out. I decided to make some changes and started skipping breakfast, lunch and snacks and avoiding sugar, bread and starchy foods. After about 3 days, my blood pressure went down to 125/80 and I started to research intermittent fasting and nutrition and started understanding the role of hormones in my overall health..something nobody had ever really explained to me in over 50 years. After about 2 weeks I had lost 10 lbs and started feeling energetic and alive. I went through my kitchen and threw out anything that had the word fructose on the label or if it had more than 5 or 6 ingredients on the label. I quit starches and breads (maybe a little pasta cheating and beer and wine on weekends) and started paying attention to where sugar hides and really eliminate it from my diet. Three months later, I've lost almost 45 lbs, my belly is flat and I feel like I've gained back at least 10 years of my life. I'm convinced that sugar is the devil and has no place in my life. These videos and others have transformed my life.
Good for you. Keep it up. You won't regret it. 🌻🇨🇭👍
💪💪
Thank you for sharing your experience. Great job 💪
Awesome! Congratulations, I hope you continue 👍😊
What did you use instead of beer? Whiskey?
October 1st was 4 months, no processed sugar or processed carbs. I have no desire to go back to the old way, this is so much better! My pro tip, don't be cheep in the spice isle! Curry, cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, yum. To anyone reading, everything he's saying is true! I'm living this! I've lost a total of 32 pounds and counting. I've got the feeling back in my fingertips...that I hadn't had in maybe 15 or 20 years! My skin, omg, is awesome now! I literally feel like I aged backwards! Did I mention never being hungry, it's all true. You owe it to yourself to atleast try this! TAKE THE CHALLENGE! You will not regret it!
Thank you for your wise advice, I am 63 years old, when I was a small child my doctor, Leila Denmark advised me to leave sugar alone, I didn’t heed her warning , but never forgot, my wife and I have cut 75 percent out of our diet and feel great, and are super healthy now, Dr Denmark was one of the first female pediatricians in Georgia, she was so ahead of her time, and did I mention she was 112 years old and healthy when she passed away quietly in her sleep, she was a gift from God to me.
She was actually 114 and 60 days! THIS is why I love the comment section! You learn of little gems like this. Thank you. Indeed you were very blessed to have known such an amazing woman and Doctor.
@@jademichaels5553 she was unbelievable, old school, she would spend time asking questions to get to the root of the problem, not write a prescription for a pill, or pills. I will never forget her tiny lil body, she was the best!!!
Hello doctor. I have to admit that you saved my life. It's been about 30 days since I stopped eating sugar and processed carbs :) Sometimes, about 1-2 a week, I will eat an apple from my garden.
Since I started eating 2 meals a day and sometimes 1 meals a day when I don't feel the need to eat more I feel 100 times better than when I was eating junk food. I got myself into a state where I thought I was going to die. I am 31 years old, 185 cm tall and weighed 163 kg a month ago.
Currently I weigh about 145 kg and I feel like a god. I want to thank you very much for what you have done for me by giving me this wonderful knowledge about the human body and diet
He is a fake doctor without any qualifications
Gratuluję wspaniałego wyniku i silnego charakteru.
You are an inspiration to all! Keep it up! If your mother did this for one week she would never go back. Don't give up on her!
Gratulacje.
Czas na mnie 😅
@@HorusLuperc Nie ma w tym nic trudnego ani nadzwyczajnego. Dasz radę na 100%💪
I found out by accident, not from my doctor, that I had a fatty liver. Then from studying your channel I realized I have insulin resistance and pre-diabetes. Got a blood monitoring kit and guess what...I was a full blown type II and when I asked my doctor his response was...you weren't bad enough for medicine yet. Damage has already been done but I am working on it still and I accept your challenge and get really serious. Thank you!!!
Happy for you that you figured this out and taking action for a healthier future :)
Thank you
Have courage and good luck.
I'm at a loss for words. Your Dr. is like so many others, unfortunately, including mine. Constantly pushing pills/jabs but never lifestyle changes. As an aside, I read an article the other day that since 1973 Drs. no longer take the oath to "First, Do No Harm". Sad.
Cut your sugars only to what is natural in food and even then cut those down(like only Half a banana for instance), only water and herb teas for drinking, Intermittent Fast schedule, eat meat but reduce how much you eat to keep body from clogging cause it takes the longest to break down, lots of Plants and do HIIT style cardio.
I had the type 2 symptoms so bad at one point I developed nerve pain in feet, vision was blurring and then later right side of body circulation issues came. Those changes are what I did and lost ALL symptoms in 2 weeks and kept it going(circulation returned to normal and nerve pain went away). Blood work proved I didn't have diabetes later (even after those symptoms) so I believe you Can reverse out of that all the way! I'm just a random internet person of course (every body is different and you need to consult Doctor for yours) but that was my experience and maybe some of those changes can do it for you too.
I was addicted to opiates for well over 10 yrs and today I am sober 4 years 7 months. I still attend an outpatient treatment program but in the first months of sobriety, it's common for addicts to eat candy to help elevate some of the withdrawal symptoms. Basically addicts gain weight while trying to stay sober and get past the extreme opiate cravings. Treatment tries to discourage addicts from turning to sugar for comfort but at first they are just happy we are there trying to get sober. They're most concerned with helping us survive the addiction and find lasting sobriety which is AMAZING, don't get me wrong. It's just now I'm struggling to get my body and health back in good shape. That's why I'm grateful for doctors like you and others here on YT giving all of this great information for free, thank you so much for the info you are teaching me and others🤗
@@elvamethe3124 First let me CONGRATULATE you on a huge accomplishment!!!🤗 I completely understand the Suboxone being the culprit of your weight gain...me too😏. I have had some success though with IF and low carb but not keto per say. I was 240 lbs this time last year and I'm at 200 lbs. I got so overwhelmed with all the info out there on IF or I probably would of reached my goal by now. The best advice I can give you is don't give up. If you slip just keep going. Don't look at a slip as "oh no, now I have to start over." Just keep looking for which IF works for your body. Learn about autophagy because when I reach Autophagy, and it usually starts at 18 hrs fasting, my RA and Fibromialgia pain are 80% gone!!!🤔 I have made it to 40 hours fasting and felt amazing. Good luck and God bless you
Proud of you!! Keep up the good work friend :)
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations on your sobriety!
Thank you Mary Folks for sharing your story. I'm thrilled that you have come such a long way and that you are now working on refining it. Keep it up! 😄
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I started watching, listening and practicing your advices, especially in regards to totally cutting off the sugar, since Sep 2021 (roughly a year ago). Having lost 50 lbs, I'm feeling fitter, healthier & stronger than ever. You really are A HEALTH CHAMPION !! 😊😊
Thank you saint or lamb for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Seems that most "medical" doctors know patients wont get better, it's a guarantee of continued stream of income.
@@dorasidrian7482 That's it ... for doctors & big pharma, a patient cured is a customer lost.
Same here! Down about the same amount!
Thank You saint or lamb for joining me in the no sugar challenge and for sharing your experience. I really appreciate you stepping up and helping me in changing the world's paradigm on food and health.😀
I was never a sugar junkie, but definitely loved my carbs!! Three months of no sugar, intermittent fasting and LCHF and I feel better than I have in 30 years. My spondylosis has improved massively, I've evicted my belly fat, said goodbye to my hangry mood swings, found my motivation again and lost 13kg (28lb) in the process. Thank you for your wonderful videos!!! They have helped me so much.
When you speak love your carbs are you saying salads and veggies???
Love this ❤️! I stopped sugar almost two years ago when I started learning about fasting and taking control of my health. By watching videos like these, I've lost over 150 lbs. and completely changed my life! I'm 59, and off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is soooo much better and my asthma is gone. The transformation has been profound. I'm so thankful for all you do and I'm loving my new life! Thanks again 😊👍🙏
Do you eat any fruit?
That is miraculous! Thank you for posting. People need to read through these and learn how many people have gotten their lives back by fasting and cutting carbohydrates and sugar. It is life altering.
That is epically inspiring.
I am now 3 months and ten days with NO sugar. I’ve lost 75 lbs in the last 100 days. Thank you doctor Sten . I keto-intermittent fasting- and extended fasting, it’s the only thing that I’ve found that works for me.
That’s amazing results!!! Congrats Mykoe9
Awesome! Congrats
Can you plz tell the duration gap between your intermittent diet?
@Mykoe9
I did this and had an 11 day migraine. But once I got past that I felt awesome. I noticed a lot less inflamation, I lost about 6 pounds and had a big reduction in body aches.
Thank you From N.Y. Wow. Super congratulations for sticking with it despite the head aches. And thanks for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Glad you stuck with it!
@@beaupeep The migraine was not unbearable but it was because my sugar addiction was strong. There is sugar in just about everything processed so this makes us eat fresher. To be honest I went back to sugary foods. So I really appreciate this video reminding me that I can do this and so can you.
Quit sugar in May 2021 and my A1C has gone from 5.7 to 4.8 and I have lost 150 lbs. I feel fantastic.
Nice!! What’s your secret
What you eat and do pls
What other stuff you did then quit junk food sugar???what you eat now??
I had my annual physical yesterday after quitting sugar for the last ten months and my doctor was absolutely floored upon seeing me… I had lost 25 pounds, my joint problems had disappeared, my depression was gone, my skin cleared up, no more brain fog, energy levels way up etc….thank you Dr. Ekberg for educating me and keeping me inspired and motivated! I’m trying to spread the word to everyone who comments on how good I look and happy I seem!
What does quitting sugar mean? No added sugar only or,no fruits, bread, pasta, rice....?
@@chinh101 no added sugar, less of everything else than before but haven’t cut those out completely.
@@chinh101 Includes everything you mentioned and more. All simple and complex carbs. Most people following a keto lifestyle gradually reduce the daily intake of carbs. First 100 grams, then 50 and then try to maintain at approx 20 grams per day!
Personally I still eat fruits, still eat brown rice, still eat potatoes and other starchy carbs, but I cut down on it significantly. I started eating more fat and protein, less carbs. No need to get to keto, but lower carb is fine for me. To each their own. Definitely cut out the processed and sugary foods.
Thanks to Sten's videos I now understand how to watch my weight as I get older and the right type of exercise I should do to keep ticking. I remain eternally grateful to him for the fact that we are getting these videos free of charge . Most others will take you on a long winding lyrics about how good they are and finally direct you to a link to buy a product. Hope he remains with us as long as the Queen of England and more!
Thank You Chris Chris. I really appreciate the feedback and congratulate you on your persistence in learning how the body works. The queen certainly hung around for a while. I'll do my best to do the same. 😄
Thank You Chris Chris. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I started eating low carb, intermittent fasting and cut out all sugar, processed foods and refined carbohydrates 5 months ago I lost so far 100 lbs, I feel great and started riding my stationary bike and using my bowflex. My knees need replaced badly but I want to be under 30 BMI which means I have 60 lbs to go but I have no doubt it will happen. On side note I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a A1C of 6.9 when I started living this new lifestyle and now my A1C is 4.7. I don’t tell many people this because I am doing all this for health not for accolades but maybe here it might inspire someone to change too.
Stay after it! You may find that you don't need knee replacements after all. Remember, they only get paid if you replace. What carbohydrates do you still eat. Stay on the bike. It'll make tremendous benefits to your knees also. I'm proud of you!
I keep under 15 carbs most of the time it’s under 10carbs. I would love to say I could not need knee replacement but my knee are completely bone on bone and gouging out bone on both tibia and femur. The VA will be doing my knee replacements.
You should not be shy about telling people what you are doing and the positive effect it's had on your health. I've been trying to keep a friend that had type 2 Diabetes motivated. It's tough because she is an emotional eater and had always been an overeater. Over two years and still working on changing her eating habits by limiting what you're of food is brought into the house. This year she started walking slowly for 20 - 60 minutes a day. I think she's lost 30 pounds and I give her lots of praise for doing something about her health issues.
I'm on Keto and intermittent fasting since 10 months, dropped 30 kg and feeling better than ever. When you start it will be difficult, but push through, it's well worth it! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for sharing this information.
30 kg is a lot good for you.
I started a 30 day no sugar challenge dec1st 0f 21. I lost 50lbs in just a few months. Still maintaining that 50+lbs 10 months later. Although I have relapsed a couple times, ( which proved to me sugars are poison) I am a serious sugar avoider. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I'm 37 and did dirty keto last year, and while I did drop weight, I wasn't as aware of the importance of the hormone side of things. I started doing clean keto about a month ago after going off track for a few months, been watching your videos as a guide to what's important, and I feel amazing. I did my first 48 hr fast this week and wasn't hungry at all and felt great. I got my bloodwork done and I had very high ketone levels and low glucose. My stomach fat is shrinking quickly after most of my life being not sure what to do. Thank you sir, I won't ever be going back after knowing what I know now. Like you said, my brain has physically changed.
What's a dirty keto?
@@enuphsayd9746 dirty keto is unhealthy food that's still almost no carbs, things like hotdogs, processed meat, fast food patties, deep fried food, and the like. Clean keto is low carb veggies, fresh meat from decent sources, good oils like butter and olive oil and none of the damaging seed/omega 6 ones.
@@mikafoxx2717 ah, gotcha! Ty.
Sten!… I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I have been going through terrible brain fog for over ten years now, more akin to derealisation. I have cut out sugar for three weeks but my brain function has returned! I can’t believe it. I thought I was getting early onset dementia, it’s been that bad. Thank you so much for you life changing work, it’s hugely appreciated. 🙏
Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I following your advices for years. I'm 55, weight 128lb, 168cm tall. I have my 6 pack abs back. I do 2MAD, sometimes OMAD. I eat no sugar and starch, sometimes cheat.
Thank You William Wong. Sounds like it is working. If you are insulin sensitive and metabolically flexible you can make exceptions once in a while.😄
@@drekberg Yes, Sir. It really works. I feel really good and full of energy everday. All of my little health problems has been all gone. I started my calisthenics journey. Doctor, many many thanks.
Thanks Dr. Eckberg! Could you do a follow-up video on HOW to do a 30 day no-sugar challenge? I'm sold on the WHY but I still don't feel like I know HOW to eat zero sugar, especially when complex carbs are included.
YES IM CONFUSED AS WELL ..PLANTS OK? FRUIT? VEGGIES??????
I’m already doing it. Extremely hard. I keep feeling the need for something sweet. Bp down. A1c down. Sleeping better. Worth it big time. Couple it with omad.
Thank You 24 Bellers. Good for you. It will be so worth it. 😄
I quit sugar about 2 years ago. I remember the first week being very tough- got cravings and bad headaches, but by week 2, all my sugar cravings were gone and I've done it ever since. I feel much, much better.
I love how detailed and of good quality these videos are, thank you!
Thank You Arieluma. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
1 year ago my Blood Sugar A1C was 11.6
Today it's 5.7. weight was 260 now 178. I eat 2 meals a day +- . Thanks to Stan I eat 0 sugar only carbs from whole foods. My life "health" is better than I can remember in years I'm 68 I don't experience cravings unless I have something that contains sugar , mostly natural sugars from a piece of fruit
Same here 😀
Wow, that’s so great! Good for you!

My daughter and I began this journey 13 months ago, guided largely by your videos. I have lost over 40 pounds with very little effort or discomfort. We restrict eating to between 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm and keep our carb and sugar intake very low. We stick to healthy fats and quality proteins and vegetables. My knees haven’t felt this good in years. Thank you for the valuable information you share!
You have laid out good sound advise and I really appreciate it. Most of the people on here say "totally give up sugar". Which is very hard to do and maintain. Your way of eating is the perfect fit for those who can't go "cold turkey"!
Thanks for sharing. I stopped sugar almost 5 years ago and life is amazing, I feel more energetic and calm.
Thank you Dr. I am 34 and have been watching your channel for 5-6 months. I've lost 20 lbs. I feel more energetic than ever. I also keep sharing your videos to others. :) You're doing a great job!!!
Your videos and your thoroughness have been a huge blessing in my life. I had diabetic keto acidosis back in May. I slowly Changed what and how I eat starting exercising as well. About a week ago I got to OMAD and my sugar is stable. A bit higher than I want but I'm becoming less insulin resistant. I've been eating a keto diet about 3 months now as well.
Thanks for sharing the information. My experience is that cutting down on total carbs is key to reversing arthritis, joint pain, digestive, brain fog, and general health. At age over sixty decline can be rapid if problems are ignored or the wrong remedy applied. Sugar is hidden in most foods. It takes time to reverse symptoms and a change in lifestyle. Hope this comment helps.😎
Thank you as I needed to hear that!
Dr Ekberg just wanted to say thank you.I have been watching your videos for more than a year now and I have improved so much in terms of my health after I came to know what is insulin resistance, how you are dependent on carbs and intermittent fasting. I do intermittent fasting and twice a week OMAD. I reduced from 165 lbs to 85 lbs. As a layman had no idea what this insulin resistance is and how time restricted feeding can improve you. We need people or doctors like you who are on a mission to serve mankind in this way. Most of the doctors prescribe drugs but you taught us what is healthy life style. Please keep on posting such type of content so that many people like me can understand physiology and take initiative to improve our health. In our culture they say God resides in you and taking care of your health is the biggest priority.
AWESOME refresher course. I have started running astray, but, freshly motivated. Edit: I found your channel in late May of 2021 and both my wife and I have lost 60 pounds in first 5 months. We started slacking and now have both gained back around 10 to 15 pounds. I was really weak and now have more energy and generally feel better. I started a (hopefully) 3-5 day fast the day before yesterday and am finishing day 2 in 8.5 hours. yay
Good luck!! You can do it!! :)
@@YouOnlyLiveHans Thanks!!!
Nice, longer fasting really helps. You can do it! I believe in you? 💪
@@ewakraft5770 Thanks!!!
Good luck! It’s so important to not think these are steps to take temporarily, isn’t it!
I’ve never tried longer than a 23 hour fast, which I do daily. Is it difficult? What do you think?
Yes, I love the testimonies from people. They encourage me and keep me more positive. 👍
I really needed this today. Perfect timing. Thanks always Dr. Ekberg! Sharing too.
Perhaps the best video I've ever seen about sugar/nutrition. So clear and concise..............Thank you
Thanks Dr. Ekberg. Yours is my Go To and Point To channel that I share with all my loved ones and colleagues :)
Thank You Abhishek Bali. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Thanks to YOU & your LIVESAVING ADVICE...the best of the best...i have been doing this challenge everyday for 3 years 2 months now...saying goodbye to Type 2 diabetes & all the complications it brings about !!! NO WORDS CAN EVER BE ENOUGH TO THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE ♡♡♡
My husband and I cut out as much sugar as possible and our blood work has gone from horrible to normal! My husband was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and now he’s no longer diabetic. I’ve lost 38 pounds. He’s lost about 70 pounds. It’s a lifestyle change and it is so worth it!! Thank you for all the information you give us! Tremendous help!! God bless!!
I have been sugar free and sweetener free for 9 weeks now and I identify with so many of the points/benefits you have mentioned. It has been one of the best decisions I have made. Liked and shared so others can hear about the benefits of eliminating sugars.
I had started OMAD 5 months ago and what I discovered is that my body had adapted to this and I don't feel hungry until the evening where I have my meal. I am guessing that when I do periodic fasting for 48 hours, my body will adapt to this ad well.
When I used to have breakfasts at about 7am, my stomach was growling and asking for me at about 10am.
Hello eddy, would you be able to share what you eat in your omad diet? Do you take any carbs? Or just protein and fats? Thanks 😊
@@89paulvarun I found it almost impossible to fast when eating carbs... High fat diet helps me fast much easier.
@@89paulvarun sorry for the late reply. I generally don't eat much carbs. The meal that I had this evening is a steak and a large bowl of salad which consisted of some lettuce, cherry tomatoes, alfalfa, small amount of cheddar cheese. The dressing was balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Thank you, Doctor, your calm presentations are always informative and inspirational. In the 60s and 70s, I always denied giving my family sugar, when they visited me, calling it "white poison"! I was considered most peculiar. Vindication at last!
"White poison!" made me smile. I'm going to use that, thank you 😊
It IS poison!
Ha ha ha… i call it legalized crack.
Thank You Hilary Miles. White poison is exactly what it is. 😄
@@drekberg Just yesterday I wrote 'sugar IS disease!' My attitude has really made a big adjustment, thanks to Dr. Sten going into the why & how. Dietary fat & cholesterol are NOT the enemy, hidden sugar is. I don't consume soda or pastries or add sugar, but still ate hidden sugar & carbs. Awareness is key.
Almost four years now without sugar and that’s sugar of any kind, within a year my eye auroras, bouts of severe heart racing that would last up to 45 minutes, i could go on but those were the scariest have all ended, I’m 65 and feel in my 30’s!
Thanks for your videos.
I'm doing it. I started 2 days ago, so this was a great nod to continue and to pay attention to the changes. Thanks!
Growing up, our kitchen table was 4' wide and 18' long. My mother made wedding cakes and I spent my childhood scraping frosting off that table because it was always covered with cakes. I'd go to school, sit at my desk, and try to rest my chin on my hand and couldn't because all I could smell was sugar. That was just one frosting related chore. I don't have any desire to put sugar in my mouth!😁
Thanks Dr. Ekberg!
Thank you Marty Rose for sharing your story. I'm glad that you didn't succumb to it. Keep it up! 😄
I've been following your channel for fasting & keto to try & reverse my type 2 diabetes & I've been well on my way. Cutting out the sugar was step one for me & it worked wonders.
I have been on Keto since around when I moved house around March-April. I went in for my blood test a few weeks ago and my a1c is just over 50, where it was 125 this time last year, and I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Also had suffered back injuries in the lumbar region from wear and strain for several years. This past month, I have felt the best I have been in years, like I could go how I used to with my job and life. This channel was instrumental in me recovering and becoming healthy again, cause it gave me all the information I needed to decide this was the way to go, and learn the ways to make Keto work, and dialling down the carb intake. It honestly feels night and day how I felt then and now.
More people need to know about things like this because it has effectively helped my recovery by leaps and bounds.
Thanks for your fantastic explanation. I am 21 years old and I have quit eating sugar since 2021. I feel great because by cutting out sugar you are energetic. so I HIGHLY recommend everyone to get rid of the sugar.
Such wonderful explanation. Thanks a ton doc
I've never heard someone explain it so well and so simply. thank you.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much for your video.
It is so true, I gave up sugar 4 years ago and I will never go back to feeling so bad.
Thank you for saving my life!
Going on 10 weeks now. Lost 40lbs, my bones don't feel tired in the morning. My arthritis in my should no longer bothers me. I have oodles of energy. Hands down the best decision I ever made.
I have cut almost all added sugar out of my diet and restricted fruits for pretty close to a year. I have also made other changes but believe fasting and no sugar are the two biggest reasons why I feel like a new person. My A1C went from 6.1 to 5.0. An interesting side-effect is that when I treat myself to an apple or strawberries on occasion, it tastes absolutely amazing and so much better then it used to. I have no desire to to eat a desert or something with a ton of sugar.
Extremely articulated and informative. Very easy to understand and accesible to anyone who has no knowledge of any of this whatsoever, like me. Thank you.
I like the new board! As always, I appreciate your knowledge and the way you share it. Thank you
I've been sugar free and very low carb for about four years, starting at 54 years old. I've only recently introduced occasional berries and small seasonal fruit, and I've been high protein for a while. It (low carb) totally changed my life.
I can t miss my berries but they keep me of the other fruits which I only eat as a treat now every once I a while like once a month an apple, pear or banana. Blueberries and strawberries mainly and raspberries in June when they are homegrown.
@@ronnyvbk I've been putting organic blackberries, raspberries or blueberries in my collagen shake while they're in season. If not berries, then a half a rice cake, in the shake after my workout along with lean fish or shrimp.
Also, while out walking, I've been grabbing tiny apples (like 2-inch diameter) off neighbors' trees. The idea for me is not to do it year round or more than about 20 net carbs. Otherwise, I've been so low carb that I surely have high gluconeogenesis daily, and I want to make that it's a feature of fasting, rather than perpetual. I'm trying to ease toward "low carb" from keto, but I'm still avoiding seed oils, grains and almost all fruit. I may have some moderately starchy vegetables again (like squash), having quit them for a while.
I watched this video last year... ive lost a hundred pounds since,,, ive shown friends and family too,,,, it works, Thank you for work
Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining how food affects our bodies and especially offering detailed explanation about how storing and releasing of fat works. This is the best video I have come across explaining the cause - effect relationship so well!!! Your chanel is absolutely fantastic and such a health treasure!
I’m went sugar and carb free mow 32 days, and it has made a huge difference. I recommend trying this to anyone who’s thinking about quitting. Go for it !
I experiences cut of sugar more then 6 month and consume more protein also good fat. I experiences some beneficiary of it like memory function running well, growth hair more fast, no more tooth ache and skin looks shine.
.
That's true what you teaching Dr Ekberg.
Thank you for your channel to help us has right knowledge about nutrition, hormones, how ours body part when to respon with any food, drinks we intake.
.
Stay spread the right things about wellness.
Thank you
(Theo R.)
Thank You Theo Vio. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I started on the keto way of eating and doing IF (two meals a day, 18 hrs of fasting) 4 1/2 years ago and everything Dr. Ekberg said is true about sugar. I'm 73 now, I'm on no meds, the arthritis in my hands and knees is gone completely, my dental visits are a breeze - no cavities and the teeth cleaning takes only a few minutes, I seem to always be in a good mood (contrary to my pre-keto days!) and I have no craving for sweets and I was a sugar junkie before! It's all true! The hardest part is just getting through the first month or so.
That's fantastic to hear and know. Do you eat whole food carbohydrates? If so, what are they? The minimal teeth cleaning time has me very intrigued.
@@barefootandbeltless Yeah, I've cut out all PROCESSED foods and grains, but I eat organic veges and some of them have trace carbs. I see no way to get around that without stopping eating! And as far as the teeth, I'm actually amazed also! This started after a couple of years into this way of eating! The dental hygienist used to pry and scrape my teeth and the gums would bleed, but that's all in the past now! She's remarked about it as well! If it ain't broke, no need to fix it!!
@@questfortruth665 that's great to hear. So no taters though?
i really love how you explain everything, not many people have this kind of "gift" . greetings from Poland
Great video. Will do this challenge. Thanks so much for sharing your great knowledge Dr Ekberg 👍
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹.. how are you doing and how is the weather condition like?
This was the last motivation I needed to begin my keto journey again. Thank you very much!
I used to be absolutely addicted to sugar to the point where I'd just dump it into coffee or eat it straight. and it was really messing up my mental and physical health. Went low carb 7 years ago and completely cut out added sugar. It was really hard for the first year. Seriously felt like withdrawing from a drug but now I've trained myself so I don't even want sweet things anymore. It's so liberating.
Ok Dr Ekberg ...I accept your challenge! I'm not over weight ...yet..but do seem to have slipped into bad eating habits...so Thanks for the reminder! Much love & appreciation from England 💖
Bravo! It's not just information you provide but life changing guidance altogether. I stopped all sugar and refined carbohydrates and feel much much better. I used to believe that if I exercised enough (which I do) that I could eat anything I wanted. Big miscalculation on my part. I simply cut out sugar and carbs and viola the weight came down to where I should be. I needed a new belt.
Going on 4 years without sugar and very low carbs. I was around 145mg/dl now under 90. Took about 3 weeks to break free from that stuff. An interesting side effect to getting healthier was that I lost 85 pounds.
That’s amazing!!
I see lots of titles, eliminate sugar, etc & testimonies about how good it was for them to give up. However, practically speaking, what do you eat? Do you have any simple recipes, menu ideas?
That is excellent to hear! I’m one year into low carb no sugar or grain. I’ve started going mostly just meat, eggs, and organ meat this last month since it really helps me feel truly satiated and just even toned and good all the time. I’ve got about 18 pounds left to reach a “normal” BMI. I have been obese the majority of my life. I never thought getting below 200 pounds was even possible for me. It truly feels like a miracle. I was searching for the true answer to losing weight the last ten years. Nothing I tried worked until I educated myself on the carbohydrate content of the foods I chose. Now I just keep burning fat. It is incredible.
@@singingwindrider9881 Loads on yt. Sten even has some.
I can recommend investing in an air fryer. So easy to do a nice steak, or chicken fillet or salmon fillet etc, with some nice salad or buttery steamed veg. Easier while figure out more complex recipes. Make sure your spice cupboard isn't lacking either.
It's actually super easy. I rarely get hungry after 3 months.
@@singingwindrider9881 I am with you on this! I wasn't eating processed food anyway because I am allergic to soy but to go "no sugar" seems impossible! I have tried trust me!
as suggested at 23:20 to comment about good experiences after cutting off Sugar:
for the past 4 months I've cut off sugar and been lowering carbs and increasing good fat (without increasing animal protein) and saw the following benefits:
a. my A1c went back to normal healthy range
b. I've lost ~15% of my body weight and almost completely lost my stubborn belly fat
c. I don't feel cravings for anything sweet every couple of hours. also don't feel the drop of mood that I used to feel a while after eating sugar. (there was a spike up and then a spike down which felt terrible)
* please note that what worked *for me* - might not work for others, and my comment is not a suggestion or advice of any kind. just my personal experience as Dr. suggested to comment it.
Is there a reason why you don't increase animal protein?
@@hexlad430 in *my* case it is in order to avoid chronic kidney disease.
In general, eating a plant based diet with few (or none) animal products as possible is the healthiest diet for *me*
@@whiteeye2121movalik Humans have a much simpler digestive system than most or all herbivores. We also can't produce all our nutrients from only plant food, meaning we need supplements for b12 and such for vegans to simple by able to live. Our stomach acid strength and shortness of intestine is closer to that of a lion than a goat. After inventing hunting millions of years ago, proto-humans quickly adapted to that as a significant part of their diet, especially in the winter when nothing else was available before preserving was invented. We eat carbs to fatten up for winter, protein and fat for the winter, which opens up the door for body fat burning in ketosis.. I don't see why one of our main adaptations that made us human would make excluding that healthier. I can see why some do it for preventing animal mistreatment, but their misleading and contradictory health comments on it often makes others health worse.
You explain things so well. I am pre-diabetic and definitely addicted to sugar. Your video has motivated me to make major changes to my diet. Thank you.
Beautifully explained! 💖💖
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg for sharing this!
Another great and timely video Doctor!! Thank you!!
You are welcome Carnivore Diet Mike. Thank you for watching. 😄
Now I've been living the last seven years without sugar, cooking from scratch (LCHF) and this video is proof that I'm going in the right direction.
Good stuff Doc! You gave me that challenge 2yrs ago and saved my life! Thank you and god bless you! Your the best!
I really appreciate all the good information you put out there. Thank you
I went keto-vore in January 2022. Haven't had sugar since then. I alternated keto-vore, IF, OMAD and long-term fasting. I just came down from a 30 day, water-only fast (where, without meds, my Blood Glucose remained in the 80s.
I still have a long way to go, but I have a really interesting side effect:
I asked a friend who is on a similar journey, "When I can I ever have sugar again?" He said, "On your birthday." That was in February. My birthday is in November. At the time, it felt like a horribly long way to having sugar. Here it is October. My birthday is in about a month. **I HAVE NO DESIRE TO EAT SUGAR AT ALL** The idea is actually mildly repulsive to me.
You *CAN* break that addiction - to the point that you *never* want to go back to it!
Thanks so much for this video Dr Ekberg, I really needed to see this. I have recently slipped back into eating far too much sugar and carbs, and am in danger of regaining all the weight I lost over the past 15 months, over 40lbs. The modern diet and lifestyle are so terrible, that people think youre crazy when you say you don't eat sugar and heavily regulate carbs, or if you tell them you're eating once a day, and for me at least, this has made it hard to stick to, despite knowing the real benefits. No more sugar and processed carbs for me 😊
Peer & family pressure is hard to resist. You and your health are worth it ✊️
I did this a year and a half ago after watching some of your videos. I lost a stone and a half and felt much better, keeping the weight off for over a year. Recently I’ve slipped, so I’ve restarted this and I’m now on Day 2. Already I’m not craving sugar so much. Your videos have changed my life. Thank you for making this vital information accessible to all. It is much appreciated.
Avoiding sugar and carbs (and I'm a sugarcane farmer's daughter) and intermitting fasting are giving me my life back. I'm healthier in every way. I realized I was a metabolic wreck and got myself to the appropriate doctor. I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance. Keto and Intermittent Fasting, not medicines, are curing that and helping me lose weight, and both my mental acuity and physical fluidity are excellent. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for everything you do! You've helped more people than you know.
Agreed, reducing the amounts of sugar in favour of healthy food in general keeps your sugar levels more stable. I have Type 1 Diabetes and when I was diagnosed at 28 years old, I spent almost 2 years without injecting insulin by just controlling the food. The problem is that I was avoiding carbohydrates and sugar at all costs to compensate for the lack of insulin, and I ended-up developing problems in one of my kidneys 😅. There is no perfect solution... so I'd say balance is the key and eating healthier is always a plus. Thanks for the video (btw, I was diagnosed during my time living in Lund, Sweden!)
Not to pry, but why did avoiding carbs cause a problem in your kidney?
@@haileynichelle8343 No problem at all! It turns out that high-protein diets can cause problems to your kidneys over time. Keep in mind that I was avoiding carbs intake at all costs, eating mostly natural walnuts, chicken, and similar. This helped me avoid injecting insulin, but after two years, I started to have pain in my lower back and inside one of my legs. I was being studied at Karolinska at the time (not so many people with Type 1 Diabetes live fine without insulin) and they had already warned me about it, which was confirmed with a blood analysis. Since then, a bit of insulin, some carbs here and there whenever I want to, and healthy as a rock 🤙
@Sergio RG If you eat a lot of protein you MUST also eat a lot of healthy fat (olive oil, butter, animal fats). THAT was definitely the mistake you made, eating only white low fat meat! And not that you gave up carbs. Lots of protein without fat makes sugar levels go way up. Together with fat it doesn't.
I additionally recommend you watch the videos of Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Berg. Like Dr. Ekberg genius doctors.
Dr. Berry teaches how to do a carnivore diet properly with autoimmune disease. Good luck!
May I say from what you said it appears excessive protein intake caused kidney issues, not carb avoidance. Carbs are supposed to be replaced with fats, not proteins. Excessive protein is turned into carbs. Fats are insulin neutral.
@@sanjavukovic169 Yup, I was following a high-fat, high-protein diet (hence, the walnuts et al.). Everything in excess is bad, regardless of what it is, so balance is always key.
Thank you 🙏🏼 Beautiful explanation
Thank You My Pinay in America. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Thank you Dr. Eckberg!!! This has been life changing information! You are gift to us!
Great info as always Dr.!
When people talk about sugar , they think it’s about sweet food…..but milk and bread have tons of sugar
I have done this during 40 days. No added sugar, almost no carbs. For desserts only berries and a little bit peanut butter. And I lost 6 kg without work out, felt strong and healthy and safed a lot of money)) I am going to do it again, still few kgs to go.
To those who struggle: the hardest part is the first week, afterwords very easy and really worth of it.
Amazingly explained. Thank you 🙏🏼
Dying longer! You got a chuckle out of me. I have been doing keto for the last 3 years but a just notice my blood pressure went up 150/100 around that all the time any suggestions? Love your channel!
Just went to Europe and walked 5 to 7.5 miles a day there and ate very little or no carbs. Black coffee, fruits and veggies, meats, (no orange or apple juice), and in small portions and plenty of water to stay hydrated, I lost 10 pounds. I got sick in Berlin (PM 2.5 too dense there), but recovered when we were in Scotland, breathing fresh, clean air north of Glasgow. Walked in castles there over 5 miles, felt great [also climbed 11 flights of stairs in the Neuschwannstein Castle.] Most I ever walked was during the funeral procession of Elizabeth II in London, 7.5 miles. I do notice the difference in many of the side effects. I am Type 2 diabetes, and not on medications, but manage to keep my levels under 300. Still not good. My chess game is good, not grandmaster level, around 1600. Today it's under 200 mg/dL. Thanks for the valuable information. Cutting my sugars out and exercise more, more fats and protein, go ketogenic. Used coconut oil in my coffee to put in MCT in my diet.
Thank you Craig Billingsley. Thanks for sharing. You are on the right track. Keep it up and keep learning. If you haven't yet, make sure you check out my video library. There are over 400 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 czcams.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
I follow a ketogenic diet and stumbled upon this video.
My husband and teenage twins listened to it. Their response?
One drew up a 30 days chart where we all tick off the days we ate no sugar.
The other summarized your talk into a study map.
So now the whole family is doing 30 days!
I don't eat sugar, but consume alcohol(which turns into sugar). So no alcohol for me for 30 days🤔😳
Thank you for an inspiring video, Dr👏
I decided to stop drinking today, after noticing liver problems. Have you done well on your 30 day no alcohol challenge?
Tequila 100% agave no sugar no csrbs.
dry white wines have very little sugar so you can chose them
I stopped eating sugar and processed carbs in the summer. Gave up bread as well. The result is awesome! Thank you, doctor Ekberg!
I love this new style of presentation where you are behind transparent board. Super slick.
Content remains top notch.
I done this for 15 days no suagar no processed food and i loose 6 kg weight in just 15 days while i was already a skinny guy but the benefits i got was wonderful i was
Amazed to seeing benefits . My body was rejuvinate completely and I feel like flowing water .. but due to loss of weight I quit this
Thank You जुल्मी जाट. Then start it back up and add some whole food carbs. Not everyone needs to be very low carb, but sugar doesn't do anybody good. 😄
@@drekberg i am still on no sugar or very less sugar diet less than 3 to 4gm daily ... but sir my ldl cholestrol always high didnt understood why it is ??

Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹.How are you doing today and how is your weather condition like?
Thank you so much Sir!
You are welcome RebirthLB. Thank you for watching. 😄
Thank you, Dr.! What an important video for us all. I never realized all of the ill effects of sugar. This was a real eye opener and has motivated me to eliminate sugar from my life. Thank you. Thank you for sharing with us this important health information and to be able to have this information free of charge is the best part. Thank you Dr. for making time out of your busy schedule to do these videos. And kudos to you also for being so good at writing backwards for us!!!
