Water fasting keeps me awake at night, I tried to use salted water but not helping too much. Do you have any tips to sleep well during water fasting?
@Demenyi Robert. Make sure you use a natural salt like sea salt or pink salt, and also add other minerals like K, Mg, and Ca. Also being fat adapted before starting should help
Dr. Sten Ekberg😊😊 thankful grateful to you for all the self realisation about my body which was damaged few months ago is now reviving for best 🥰🥰🥰🥰Thanks so much
Hi I'm a lean mass hyper responder with high LDL for two years - I do IF 16:8 each day and 22:2 once in a week and I love it :) But - where can I read your source that stated LDL lowers with IF ?
Love your work !!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for sharing all your knowledge. So well explained and accurate..I’ve been putting into practice all your recommandations.
IF was never really a struggle for me as I do Ramadan, but when doing HIIT, I always get dizzy and my sight turns dark and blurry.
For now the days I know I have a HIIT session, I get oats to have enough carbs, but I don’t want to rely on that as I supressed any source of carbs from my meals. Any tips for that?
I was 320 pounds on April 14th, 2022. As of today (November 4th, 2022) I am 223 pounds. I should hit a 100 pound weight loss soon. I walk 8 to 10 kilometers a day and I do the 23:1 OMAD interrmittent fast with an occasional 47:1 two day fast. I am a 61 year old male. I've never felt better in my entire life. My goal is 199 lbs and then to maintain it.
It definitely works. I started intermittent fasting in January 2019 and by July I lost 75 pounds. Now I’m maintaining my weight loss. I feel amazing!
Are you still doing IF? what ratio?
Congratulations to you.
Did you fast at the same schedule everyday?
Kelli Kim: That’s awesome! I recently started (5/30/20) and I feel lighter and I notice my clothes is looser but I won’t weight myself until the end of June 30 to see how much it’s working.
Kelli Kim - that's awesome! Congratulations.
Love your sentence: Whats really hard is getting sick. Its a real eye-opener. Thank YOU.
Aint that the truth. Am watching a friend w advanced diabetes... lost toes,almost lost foot, cripling neauropthy pain, lost complete use of right arm and cannot walk due to major stroke, on cusp of kidney failure... pain killers not wkg. He is suffering more than i could ever have imagined.
I'm 32. Just four months into low carb and fasting, I lost 35 lbs. From 277 to 242. My dad commented on my weight loss today and I just shared this video with him to get him hyped. You've helped me so much, Doc. Bless you so much!! I wish you infinite health and success!
Congrats popcorn and keep up the good work! Im 65 yrs young and started keto and fasting in May 21 and have lost 22 pds which. was all body fat so at 5'11" and 165 im even seeing my 6 pack popping out good for the firsttime in my life! Ill do this for the rest of my lifefor all the obvious health reasons! Keep up the good work!
Congratulations❤🙏
Way to go… Keep up the great work. I’m working on something similar myself and when somebody notices all your hard work and dedication there’s no better feeling in my eyes.
👏🏼 love these remarks!
Great job mate! Wanted to ask for an update 3 years later how are you doing and did you continue the fasting? (If so what kind of fasting did you go for?)
This formula really works. My blood glucose was 576 when I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. Ive been doing keto, light exercise (walking 2 miles a day) and my resting blood glucose is around 120 now. Ive lost 35 pounds in 5 months with another 30 to go. It took around 3 months to lower my glucose and get out of the danger range. I no longer take insulin either. I lost my eyesight when my glucose dropped. It took around 8 weeks for my eyesight to return after my blood sugar stabilized. I’m the healthiest I’ve been in 30 years and improving everyday. Thanks for your videos Doc. You are saving lives and extending lives.
Chug-A-Lug Doug what happened to ur eyesight and can u explain wat u did to fix it
Paradev Paradev i lost my eyesight because of the rapid drop in blood glucose levels. We have very small blood cells in our eyes. My eyes had became use to the high blood sugar (thick blood). I dropped my blood glucose from 576 to around 100 by cutting out all the carbs and sugar. I drank only water and ate only salad. When my blood sugar dropped my eyes weren’t use to the low blood sugar (thin blood) and my vision went fuzzy and I couldn’t see. I went to a walmart and bought 4x reading glasses so I could read. The strongest reading glasses they had. I went to a eye doctor and got new glasses . Basically coke bottle thick lens glasses for blind people. It was a waste of money. After about 8 weeks , my blood sugar stabilized and my eyes became accustomed to the lower blood sugar (thin blood for the blood cells) my eyesight slowly returned back to normal. I returned the coke bottle glasses and got a new prescription. I can now see better than ever. This scared me because I thought I was going blind. Diabetes is the number 1 cause of blindness. If you have lowered your blood sugar and your eyes are fuzzy, give it 8 weeks or so and your eyesight should return. Of course the official answer is , go see a eye doctor. The diabetes blindness is caused by something called diabetic retinopathy. This is where your retinas actually detach from the back of your eyes. This isnt what I had. It was the blood cells in my eyes readjusting to the new low glucose .If you dont have the money To see a eye doctor, wait until your eyes re-adjust to your new improved healthy blood sugar level and SEE if your eyesight returns. Even after I got the second pair of glasses, my eyesight has even gotten better and i should go get a new scrip. I can see fine without glasses now. I would Say it took about 12 weeks for my Eyesight to come back completely. Again, my blood sugar was extremely high and then I dropped it very fast to around 100 or so. I didnt have a glucose meter when I was pre-diabetic and had no idea My blood sugar was that high or I was that sick.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@chug-a-lugdoug4638 wow look up beat diabetes here on you tube....tell this story there...I'm sure he will want to interview you.
Your story is inspiring, I'm struggling with pre-diabetes and am ready to make major changes to get back into normal range. I had half my pancreas removed 8 months ago and am not producing enough insulin so am hoping intermittent fasting will help.
Boy!!! The pharmaceuticals and foods industry will hate this guy.
This makes so much sense to me.
Before I retired I didn’t eat until 2pm because eating slowed down my thinking (I was an accountant). I got used to it and still do it. We have a name for it now! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
that's interesting
I don’t eat before 5 pm, because of the same reason.
25 pounds in 6 weeks, but as I went to 20/4 the pace of weight loss is really picking up. That is what made a BIG difference for me.
In the first month of IF and low carb diet, I lost 10 pounds. All my blood work shows great results. I will continue IF. Thank you doctor!
After 23 years battling diabetes and HBP I am now free, thanks to your advise and many other great doctors here.
Thank you Kamau Wanyoike for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Îve lost most diabetes meds also... the only one I take now is Jardiance and sometimes Metformin but no more insulin, glicazide, and Ozempic. Always refuse statins once I used Crestor and couldn’t walk properly up or down stairs... still have muscle issues years later.
I started IF about 2 years ago. Friends and family were concerned I'd be anorexic and die! But I'm 50 pounds lighter and was able to get off all prescription meds. I'm 61 and feel better than when I was in my 20's. I've got tons of energy and mental clarity!
That's awesome! What ratio are you doing your IF?
@@YaraPNdeSa I was doing 10am and 4pm, just eating twice a day but that seemed like a hassle. Now I am eating at noon only most days, on Sundays with the family over I usually wait and eat about 5pm. Eating just once a day has given me more time to pursue other things. I enjoy OMAD very much.
Strange as it may seem, I practiced this pattern the whole time I was growing up until early adulthood. When I was 18, I was eating 1 meal a day and stayed a lean, mean 160 lbs until I went into the military where I was forced into the standard American diet. At that point, weight gain became a real problem and has been ever since. It's back to the future for me! Good video!
How are you doing? Are you omad?
Thanks for not being weeny like the ones who “ teach” for money, ego.
I went from 240 to 185 in a year applying these principles. This man is helping alot of people. Thank you sir
That’s wonderful!!!! Good for you taking charge of your own health…
I've been fasting daily for 16-18 hrs a day for the past 9 months. The only times that I've seen weight loss and anti-inflammatory effects are when I was doing keto meals or avoiding refined sugar/refined flour. I've learned that despite fasting and eating in a calorie deficit; if added sugar and flour-based foods are consumed, water retention will occur, inflammation will occur, putting on weight will occur and bloating will occur. So, for me at this point. For example, I've realized that consuming fruits, mashed potatoes, or sweet potatoes or any other whole food is ideal for weight loss and anti-inflammatory effects. Eating refined sugar and bread, in my personal experience is the reason for a failing fasting experience. One can only see benefits when we choose whole foods, free of added sugar or a keto´-like diet. Dr. Ekberg, thanks for sharing knowledge.
Means even if v do 20hr if but consume all food with grains v will not loose wait?????
Please reply
@@saraddhyamwmkjh7052 20 hrs is a very short period of time. If you fast. Make sure to eat whole foods. Avoid man made products.
@@saraddhyamwmkjh7052 I think so. Again because our ancestors didn't have that in their diet. Farming and agriculture is only about 5 thousand years old and in a hundred million year evolution that's a blink. So sad though I love sweet and pastry. 😔
Hm. I lose weight with 16:8 and still eat treats like cake (in smaller portion). Slowly, though. Also, isn't fruits also high in sugar and potatoes is refined starch tho?
@@cryinglaughingemoji1741 A piece of a chocolate cake can have 10 times more sugar than one apple. Also, cake and fruit have completely different kinds of sugar - the one in cake is artificial and we should not want to feed our cells with artificial things and this high dosage of sugar causes a spike in level of sugar in our blood; whereas sugar in fruit tends to be slowly released into our bloodstream because of the fibers in fruit. It sounds like nature already made us a perfect "cake" :))
Also, it has been proven that your skin ages faster if you eat more added sugars.
If you are losing weight without eliminating cake as you said, you probably have a faster metabolic rate and you may not be as insulin resistant as Alex or me, however for your health benefit, you are really better off without the artificial stuff that contain even 3 times more sugar than one apple. Think of it as a poison in a very small dosage. And if you are not gaining weight from it, it does not mean it is healthy for you or anybody. This is honestly something that I try to incorporate into my routine and I will usually have one treat like ice cream once in a week or two. Sometimes I'll have more if I have too many things on my plate, but generally I try to avoid any artificial manmade things including added sugars.
It really works! I use to wake up the morning feeling tired, and it would persist the whole day. Now that I'm doing keto with intermittent fasting I've never had so much energy
From all the videos I've seen... I discovered I had an issue with fasting. I've solved this problem while I was doing a 24h fasting. The next one was a 51h fasting and all I can say is that I felt great like I've never felt in my hole life!!! Not pushing... not thinking... just doing til I feel I had to eat... and it was 51h with peace, softness and joyfulness. It's awesome!!!
51? Wow that's a long time to not eat, I think I would freak out
@@youtoo2233 I thought I would freak out too... But things were happening I found myself ok... Didn't force anything 🤷🏻♂️😉
How many times a week did you do the 24h fasting?
I have been doing intermittent fasting since july 2018, and not very strict , minimum exercise. Onlypositive results. Am sleeping better, lots energy, better looking skin, my journey is not about weight loss but as a result of my healthy lifestyle change I have lost to date 82 lbs of stored fuel.
Very well explained, I am doing IF for about 2 months and removed all kind of sugar from my diet, I lost 30 pounds and my liver enzymes are back to normal.
Praise God !!
30 pounds (13.61 kilogram) in 2 months? 😮
@@angelinabetty 16 lbs in 1 month carnivore, 1 month keto
@@ang123brando8 So you ate no carbohydrates moreover
I did tried and happt w/ it in 2 weeks I lost5 lbs, very lo carb, no sugar only on few berries so far so good getting used to it, I am 74 yrs ols 7 hrs window,11-6 thank you learning a lot God bless you
I transitioned to OMAD too early I think, its been around 3 months and still can feel like eating after 3 hours or so, therefor I stick to 2 meals a day with 4 hours window. I eat ORGANIC and FRESH FOOD ONLY, and typically the second meal is the small one. My diet consists of organic fats: olives, olive oil, avocados, fatty wild caught fish, meat, and organic carbs In the form of vegetables: all sort of leaves and salads. My first meal lasts for an hour and is built of 2 plates. I don't allow any intoxicated items near me and I can see the difference imminently upon elimination. Great Channel, thank you :-)
It’s working for me..I’m 72 yrs old and started fasting 5 months ago with keto and have lost 20 lbs..
It seems to be slow for me but probably because of my age..
Feeling great..I am doing the OMAD...fasting 20-24 hours a day..
No problems...
Because of several health issues that demanded immediate action on my part, I started on the keto lifestyle on Sept. 1, 2020, and implemented IF/OMAD right then. I had already greatly reduced my eating, but I needed to be disciplined about it, and that was the best way for me---just dive into the deep end. I haven't regretted it even for a moment, and only wish I'd been doing keto and IF for years, rather than just the six weeks I've been living it.
My doctor isn't convinced that keto and IF are the way to live, but he isn't the one experiencing all the stupidity of how I've mistreated this body for over six decades, so I'm going to continue with keto, not the SAD, which is what he thinks I "should" be following (that was what was ruining my health in the first place!)
I only started 16:8 3 weeks ago and I m already 280 -> 263lbs
Congratulations!
i started 16-8 then to OMAD then i did few 72 hours in last month and now back to OMAD and back starting to 48 hours fasting , best tool ever , to keep ur weight down, fit, healthy , my financial condition doesnt allow me to see doctors or any medical purchase , so fasting has become my best friend
I just did a 52 hour fast, but I was aiming for 72. I will try again in a few weeks. Till then I'll stay OMAD.
Found this video about a months ago and dabbled with IF. I've lost 16 pounds and i wasn't as disciplined about it. I'm motivated now to stick to 18/6 and incorporate more Keto. Great Video!
Man I love YOU for your WISDOM on her HEALTH ❤️ when I was younger I fast more, but some people said it will make you sick .I am glad some health experts have got back to fasting.I always tried to keep my weight down , but I am glad that you are showing people HOW to fast 💯💯💯 You're SAVING LIVES 💯 MAY God continue blessing YOU. I am fasting.I love it makes feel better. Small one meal a day if I am not fasting for days ,and weeks makes makes me feel better and fasting makes me feel so much BETTER 💯 with real food. Thank you for helping people and America. I love YOU ❣️ keep it up ❤️.
Yes!!!! Teaching the HOW is what i needed!
Hi thanks dr Ekberg
I’m on intermittent fasting (20-4) for last 4 years and two months ago I start the keto omad diet to lose more weight
I lost total of 35kg and my body fat is under %10 I’m 50 years old . I felt better and healthier than ever before,never got sick since I start the intermittent fasting so I decided to keep it as life style
Amazing. Well done you!
Dr. Ekberg, Jack LeLanne would have LOVED the way you teach and how much you give and care. Keep up the excellent work.
Currently going on a 90-91 hour fasting. This is the longest I’ve ever gone, and I’m *_really_* looking forward to eating tomorrow. I keep thinking of what I want to eat, and see myself eating, so I don’t think I can go longer than 90ish hours without eating.
Sounds like you made my mistake. Be careful of the refeeding syndrome. Eating after multi day fasts have to be very light and small for several days.
@@SCharlesS
Excellent advice
This is one of the best video for someone who never try Intermittent fasting. I have been doing IF for a little more than 4 months & I lost 20 lb. It has been the least painful & easiest way to lose wt, mainly fat. The best thing is I feel so good. The back pain that caused me tossed & turned while sleeping before IF, the pain is gone. I look & feel great, & I lost those brain fog, & I don't feel that I get hijacked by hunger or low blood sugar. If you reach a plateau on wt lost, then have a longer fast once or twice per yr, such as 24 - 36 hr. I am 54 yr old, & feel better than I was 40 to 30s. My next challenge is to try keto diet & 5 days water fast. Guys who want to lose wt & feel great, try IF. It is not hard at all. It changed my life for the better. Thanks Dr. Ekberg.
60lbs lost using intermittent fasting so I know it works.
Teacher John congrats❤️
Sara Fagerhøi Kjøle it works best with lowcarb, no sugar diet. You can be able to lose weight with eating sugar while IF but it is not healty. I lost 14kgs with IF as well. Trying to get into ketosis.
@Sara Fagerhøi Kjøle I just tried to eat as healthy as possible during my feeding window. No other diets.
It definitely works, I will never go back to my old ways
Do you combine with workout?
You are a blessing, Dr. Ekberg for people who are not zombied by the commercialized medicine... also an evidence that Swedish people are among the most intelligent ones... Thanks for the great work and effort!
Thank you V. Uzunov. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
... except Greta.
Except the Netherlands 😀. Lol. But great vlogs dr. Ekberg. Keep on posting!
@@echtalion Greta is right about what she's saying though, that we should listen to scientists (who do know what they are talking about, she doesn't claim to be an expert on the topic herself) and treat the problem of global warming induced by green house gasses seriously. It's science where the basics can be understood by most people with half a brain who are dedicated to learn about it. This goes for much of the nutritional advice Eckberg is putting up too and a lot of what he teaches can be practiced on a diet consisting of healthy and reasonably sustainable largely plant based whole foods, which I try to do myself as a supposedly somewhat intelligent Swede.
@@amanduswestin9211 Greta is a child and you are a fool and her parents are insane.
This is true, this works!, As a testimony, I've been watching this channel to learn about this topic, and long story short, I lost 22 pounds! As simple of that! Now everyone is asking me what's my secret, and I always told the same, low carb diet and intermittent fasting! Thanks Dr Ekberg! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Thank you Alexis David Villegas Torres for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up!
I don't understand low carb... Every food i see has carb... Even chia seeds. what shall we do? eat meat every day?
Every step you shared is beneficial.
In my experience, Number 3 and 10 are the best. Helped me a significantly.
Reduced carb intake and fast 23 hours but eat as much calories as I needed in my feeding time. I
was able to reverse my insulin resistance.
Before that I was doing IF and OMAD for six months but was puzzled when my blood test revealed I was pre-diabetic, that was because I stiil consume high carbs in my eating window. But after adopting extremely low carb and increased healthy fat consumption, my fasting blood glucose dropped close to the lowest of normal range, triglycerides dropped, HDL increased, now feeling way better than I was before.
Thanks a lot for sharing Doc Ekberg. You are actually helping a lot of people and I’m one of them.
Hey were you eating sugar at that 6 month period ? And how many mins you used to exercise ?
Maybe it was because of sugar not carb and by carb what do you mean which food items ?
I'm so happy I discovered you, doctor Ekberg!! You are truly AMAZING!!
Thank you for sharing all this precious info. Chapeau and all my respect from Montreal, Canada!!
I do OMAD 5 days a week and eat lunch and dinner on weekends. That's now just my way of life. Couldn't be healthier and have maintained a 40kg weight loss for 4 years now. And low carbs...
BEAUTIFLY and SMART !!! Way of explaining things. Dr. Ekberg. I can't say it enough. You are simply the BEST !!!!
It is the first week of my 2 day 24 hour fasts. I am fasting M,W all month. I eat dinner on these days- for ex...if I eat Sunday at 7pm...I won't eat again till Monday 7pm. Tuesday is 'normal'. I had no leg pain the first day after...I'm starting to believe in the benefits. We will see how I feel end of month, but I may move to 2 meals a day on my off days. I will also say, I really savor and enjoy my food more because I am truly hungry when I eat it. I also make better choices. I am hoping at the end of this to reduce inflammation in a sports injury, increase my discipline, and I wouldn't mind dropping a few vanity lbs...
It could be hard... If you dont care about yourself! It is not hard! I am so happy that I discovered fasting. I started it 3 months ago and there no way back! Thanx to You and Markus Rotkrantz! In less than 3 months I'm gone from 86kg to 75kg. I have 1. type diabetis, 182cm and just turned 50. Health become better, joint pains are gone. Thanx again!!! Great videos! 👍👍👍
indeed, "what is really hard is getting sick", thank you Dr. Ekberg. I love the way you explain the dynamics of fasting and making it reasonable & healthy.
Several.months ago, my husband & I realized we were fasting 12-14 hours without even trying. We weren't super hungry, nor trying to lose weight. Now that I've watched several of Dr Ekberg's videos, I'm easing into longer periods of IF to break thru what I think must be IR. I rarely get hungry, but I've had to get used to the idea of eating moderate protein & high fat. The proof that it works (initially) has been in that I don't get hungry. I'm easing into longer intervals of fasting & I'll try the BP Coffee! Before discovering Dr E's videos, I had noticed that I felt much better when I didn't eat for 12 + hours of time. Now I know why!
I have been doing 16:8 fasting for many months and have been greatly benefited from it. You are teaching it so systematically, so efficiently, and so wonderfully that i want to thank you and congratulate you and thank you for doing the job so incredibly well. I am sending the link to a few friends! Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg! I am so happy to have found you. I actually listen to your videos without stopping midway through out of boredom or because the speakers are just hard to listen to or follow. You are a great teacher and because of you, I now understand why I had excess blubber that wouldn't go away. I am counting calories but within that I have cut by two thirds the amount of carbs I eat. No breads or pasta and less sweets. Still have sweets but very little. I went from 210 to 170. Need to lose 35 more. I am trying hard to expand my 10 hour non eating window to 18.
"a fortune of energy"! In 2013 I started at 305 lbs and a1c of 12. Low carb and if got me to 275 and a1c under 7 with metformin. Looong plateau. Then keto helped get me into the 240 s. Then I started driving "over the road". Now I eat keto and fast for 48 hours and then refeed. 3x per week. I am now 215 and dropping like a rock! Great stuff. 180 is the goal and is finally in sight and possible. No real hunger, plenty of body fat to keep me going.
Intermittent fasting was a great discovery. It relaxes the body, so going from 16/8 to 18/6, now I'm planning the OMAD. Your way of explaining is very inviting, inspiring as well as comforting.
I'm starting Monday for sure
Thank you soo much! Well explained. Now I understand whats is going on. This video means a lot to me in this moment.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg for your in depth analysis on health matters. I really appreciate. Watching you from Africa Kenya.
Intermittent fasting has helped me improve my digestion and start managing my weight. Dr. Ekberg is the BEST at explaining how to implement healthy practices and why. Thank you so much, Dr. Sten!!!
Dr. Sten, It has occurred to me that the amount of preparation and time you put in to your presentations makes them clear and powerful. Watching your videos is a good use of time. Thank you for your commitment to quality as well as the volume of work that you have done.
I really appreciate how you clarify the technical information and break it down so well. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I have had a stubborn cough that wont go away for several months now. When i started IF of 2 meals a day on 18:6 pattern, my body started expelling a lot of mucous. After expelling the mucous within 24 hours, my long time cough was gone. I am now on OMAD and looking forward to longer fasting days. My body adjusts every 5 days to longer fasting. I love this.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I've been listening you only for 2 months but I am already have some incredible improvements . I was 128 pounds and I lost 8 pound for 1 month so easily. First week I was hungry for sugar and food but then I loose this feeling. I trained my body . May God bless you for your kind heart!
Spot on as always. Another great synopsis!
I've been diagnosed with Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I stopped eating sugar. I'm doing my best to eliminate carbs. I've never been an over-eater, in fact for most of my life I have eaten only one meal a day any more than that and I feel bloated. I had a cup of black coffee this morning, and the last time I ate was 24 hours ago (dinner time yesterday). I'm not hungry at all but I catch myself looking in the fridge for no reason. Then I close the door and walk away. I keep wanting to extend the length of time I don't eat but I need something to sip and keep me from the habit of eating just because it's dinner time.
I just drank some water with a little lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, and I made a cup of tea to sip. Now I just need to stay out of the kitchen.
The best explanation i've found. Thank you
I'm really grateful for your talks.. Thank you for explaining things sooo clearly...🙏🙏🙏
Yep. Me also
Thanks a lot Dr Ekberg, you have such a great informative! 👍❤️
Excellent Summary, thanks. I started with 16/8 and have been shrinking that eating window to 4 hours. For breakfast now I have a bullet coffee ( grass fed butter and MCT ) and a cocktail of 1 gm NAC, 1 Gm Lycine, 3 Gms Taurine and Creatine Monohydrate. My stomach seems well satisfied with that. Since I don't want to lose any more weight ~ I'm really happy with going from 90 to 75 Kgs without muscle loss ~ I'll follow your advice of alternating days. So then I can have Breakfast at 2 pm. lunch at 6 pm with supper an hour latter.
By far the best breakdown of IF going. Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
Brilliant. Understanding the science behind it makes it much easier for me now. Thank you.
Wow!!! This is the best video I've seen so far. I have been on keto for 22 months and lost 65 lbs. I feel better than I did at 25 and I am now 50 years old. I have tried the 16-8 and it is great. I am now working towards the OMAD. Thanks for your video. This clarifies a lot of things and especially helpful for people who are new to this. I wish I had this video when I first started. Subscribed!!
Same here, I'm now 50 and recently found out my numbers are out of control so I'm doing some major changes
Did you ever make it to OMAD?
@@dalehart7238 Still working on it
Thank you Dr.Ekberg. I followed your plan in another video about IF. Your 16:8 plan really works for me. After completing my first week I see my first results that are very encouraging. I am getting rid of extra weight, don't feel hungry or tired. My fasting high blood sugar is finally going down. Helping our bodies is what we all need to do.
Once again I must thank you Dr. Ekberg for the information you present and the outstanding way you do it. You are changing lives. 🙏🏼
I am doing OMAD, and I like it a lot. I will share this with my family and friends. Thank you Dr Ekberg
Thank you again Mette. I'm so glad to see you are watching several videos. You're an expert by now.😀
Thank you! One of the most helpful videos.
Thank you J S. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
I found out about it in a strange way. At the time I haven't heard about intermittent fasting. I love ballet and my favorite Russian dancer was always slim with beautiful body. When he retired from dancing which meant reducing most the activity (his new job was being a rector of ballet academy) he started gaining weight. He gained considerable amount. Then few months later at the interview he was slim again. When asked how he slimmed down so fast he said he ate until 3:00 and then didn't eat for the rest of the day. And suggested it to his students as well. I started researching it and started doing it myself. Lost 20 pounds so far in few months. So I am very grateful to Nikolai, not only my favorite dancer but a great person :)
Цискаридзе, I presume?😊
@@dilyaramarsh7770 Easy to deduct :) There is only one rector of Vaganova Academy with the name Nikolai

Thank you for your videos. I fasted 18-20 hrs a day, 2 to 3 days a week, for just overvq month. Lost 12 lbs and feel great! I am 61 and I have pretty much the same figure I had at 18. Also feel much healthier.
This is great I do omad and after a few days I adapted well my resting heart rate has dropped 6 beats a minute since I started omad 4 weeks ago. 😀
Thank you so for explaining in an easy to understand way.
Excellent advice thank you so much I’ve been fasting and Keto dieting and stopped taking my T2D drugs which I’ve been on for over 25 years. Life is wonderful again. From Canada.

Actually, I found listening to the entire video VERY informative. I‘ve heard laying off of sugar increases one’s attention span 😂
Thank you
Thanks !!
I have been following your programs for several months now and l have actively been Inter. Fasting for over 6 months now , 23.5 / 1 . The results , with daily walking for exercise , has been tremendous , l have lost a lot of weight and l feel terrific . Thankyou Dr. Ekberg .
Dr...you are just a treasure, everything you saying is happening to me exactly as you said. Never had a problem with weight or a lot processed food, but I realized that am not healthy. I changed my diet to every food you mentioned and I feel better every week.
Been doing this for a little while. Think I am going to take the plunge today n go past 24 hours. It's been so easy lately at the 20-4 fast lately so I think I am ready. Thank you for all the info Dr.Eckberg you have stumped my dietician 😇
You are a wonderful speaker with not rushing your explanations to us. Thank you, Doctor. I've exceeded my weight loss goal by a few pounds but decided to continue and take off an additional 7 pounds more to get to 140 pounds. You gave me something to think about now regarding maintenance by doing omad and 18/6. I've been doing omad and fasting for 48 hours 1 to 2 times a month. I've lost 38 pounds in almost 4 months. (I'm sure it'll be 40 pds in 4 months 😀)
I am a life testimony for kito and Omad ..lost 55 lb @6 months ..thanks for Dr. Ekberg 🙏🙏
Fasting is a game-changer. I did the bullet-proof coffee today and it helped me go through to 20hrs when I usually just manage 16 - and it was easy! Thank you for all of your very helpful videos. Much appreciated.
All I can say is intermittent fasting works well for me. I started in July of last year at a weight of 190 lbs. For two decades, no matter how much I exercise, my weight would never get below 180 lbs. After doing IF for 3 months, and not exercising anymore or less than I did before, I got to the weight of 165 lbs - the same weight I was while I was in high school, 30 years ago.
Over the past several months I've been mostly eating one meal a day with some occasional extended fasts. Since I only eat one meal a day most of the time, I am more mindful about eating higher quality and more nutritious food. I do, however still like to enjoy life, so I apply the intermittent fasting principle to dessert: I only eat dessert once per week.
Amazing information on IF. Actually I was so scared of fasting but once understand the science behind this, it's getting easier to accept and practice. Thank you Dr Sten.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for this really practical and most easily understood video on intermittent fasting. It brings me back again on track.
Thanks Dr your the best lecturer ever. If only you were my teacher at university.
an outstanding presentation.thank you.
All of this info makes very good sense!
Thank you Karol Iyer. 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. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I love IF. I discovered 30 years ago - long before the term IF was ever heard of - that my body simply likes it better if I only feed it twice a day rather than the standard "3 squares."
