Hearted Youtube comments on Dr. Sten Ekberg (@drekberg) channel.

  1. I have said for many years, that the United States is the best in the world at processing food. I didn’t realize until recently that this a curse not a blessing.

  2. I can tell you what happened to my body after giving up all sugar for 30 days. I lost 12 pounds from 189 to 177. 9 months later I weigh 145, am off statin drugs, my blood work is off the charts good and I feel alive!

  3. Ever since I discovered this man last year he has changed my family's health and diet/lifestyle. So grateful! Hopefully we can travel to your clinic one day!

  4. Thank you for clearing this up. It’s sad that when so many people have had such great success with intermittent fasting, such as myself. It’s sad that they want people to fail and go back to hurting themselves. Please those of you that has gotten off of meds and your health has improved ignore all this nonsense and continue your health journey.

  6. Dr. Ekberg, I can’t imagine the time you have to spend preparing your very informative videos. Appreciate them so much as I know you have your “day job” and still manage to provide us all this knowledge…simply thank you! Always looking forward to Friday mornings to view your videos. 🙏 thank you!❤️

  7. I recently did my A1C test. It was 6.3 I was elated. My Doctor however said I need to have some complex carbs. She said I should have some for breakfast. I don’t eat breakfast anymore. I didn’t tell her this. She asked what diet I’m on I said the one that my body needs.I told her my body doesn’t like carbs so I eat as little as possible. It’s allergic to sugar so I’ve totally stopped eating any sugar. I felt like she was scolding me instead of recognizing my hard work and dedication to better health.I was on a crap load of meds. I’m on 4 metformin 2 in the morning 2 at night. I stopped my cholesterol meds. My cholesterol result was fantastic, I also stopped my high blood pressure meds because I was constantly dizzy , when I took my blood pressure it was low. So after monitoring for awhile I stopped taking it and my dizziness went away. My body is the most important source of information, I’ll always listen to it. I started my lifestyle change in early December, after being sick every day from a new diabetes medication. I’m 54 years old and have had diabetes for 14 years now. I wish my Doctor at the time of diagnosis told me I’ve the power to reverse my condition instead of saying this is a progressive disease.

  8. I just started my 6th week of carnivore. To get adjusted, I ate cheese and milk the first 3 weeks. For week #4 I quit the dairy and I'm feeling so good now. I've lost 13 lbs. in the first 5 weeks. My morning fasted blood glucose went from 305 to 86 in just 5 weeks. I love carnivore.

  10. HI Sten.. I'm a 56 year old Australian women. I have spent my entire life believing and grew up with "fat is EVIL" . I have had a weight problem all my life..i found you about 8 weeks ago and you have changed my life. I have lost 12kgs and feel great..I have learnt so from your incredibly wonderful channel. You put everything together so clearly. Love your work! What an amazing gift you give. Thank you so much.😁

  11. It's interesting that many governments actively try to destroy immune system of the population by banning sports, saunas or even walking in the fresh air. Let alone the emotional part.
    874
  12. Genetics loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.
    872
  13. After a year with the Keto lifestyle and down 80lbs, I've learned eat to live not live to eat. I can now be social without making junk food part of the equation. That includes alcohol too.
    870
  14. I lost 30kg in 10 weeks simply by cutting out bread and potatoes and sugar. I eat one meal a day now, sometimes I will have a snack during the day. Eating whole foods fish, veg, eggs, I do walking and exercise each day but I don't go crazy. 10 weeks I went from 130kg to 100kg. These videos should be seen by everyone. Brilliant ❤

  15. This guy is an absolute master in getting the message accross. A teacher of the highest degree. Listening leading to real understanding and therefore correct application of the information should be the true goal of the neophyte.

  19. I decided to support this channel because the effort put to help people by dedicating time in educating people should not go unnoticed. Your patience and the way you transmit clearly and detailed your knowledge and experience in the subjet is admirable. You channel has helped me so much there is no way to thank you enough.

  22. My mother died from type 2 diabetes in 2020. My younger brother if a full blown diabetic. My uncle has lost his eyesight from diabetes. Intermittent fasting, eating as clean as I can, and exercise are the things I’m doing to make sure I’m not affected by type 2 diabetes. Thanks for the information Dr. Ekberg.
    829
  23. This video should be mandatory for all doctors that started practicing in the past 20 years. 🇺🇲👍
    827
  24. We need more accessible keto restaurants.

  25. Been doing this for a year. Lost 50lb and put on a great deal of muscle. The only exercise I do is moderate paced walking. Every single organ has improved by measures of magnitude like a fountain of youth. I am 50 years old and have a six pack again. I can't wait to see what next year brings.

  26. In the states you have the SAD and here in Britain we have the SUK (standard United Kingdom) diet. Both acronyms are very telling.

  27. Perfectly timed lecture for me. My Father just died a few days ago from cancer 💔. Seeing my parents deteriorating health and starting to see similar symptoms in myself is what started me on this health journey that brought me to low carb, one ingredient foods, return to exercise and making great efforts to reduce my stress levels that were astronomical. I feel like a new person. I wish more folks would open their eyes to what is slowly killing them over time. Eat at home with the best quality ingredients that are possible for you to get. Avoid eating out as almost all restaurants use garbage ingredients. Learn to cook! If it's in a package or a box, avoid it. If you have an addictive personality, get addicted to nature and/or any form of art to keep yourself busy. It's not easy sometimes. But as for myself, my goal is healthspan with my lifespan. Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year.

  28. Your explanation that our body has to use glucose first instead of fat because too much glucose will be dangerous to the body makes sooo much sense! It is not the body 'prefers' glucose, but the body is trying to remove glucose from the blood... chronic excess of glucose is the root of all problems!
    815
  29. That's a coincidence. At the time of posting I am at 100 hours of fasting. I hope you have some good things to say...
    815
  30. I am pre-diabetic and my MD wanted me on Metformin immediately. Of course I would need to see him every 3 months for 7 minutes forever. Get the idea? Did not agree and did not start the drugs. I increased my physical activity, reduced carbs to no more than 100 grams per day. Go on short calorie restriction weekends and lo and behold my a1c is now 5.6.. He said what have you been doing? He's the Doctor and now I am teaching him how to reverse pre diabetes and help with diabetes. Go figure...
    813
  31. I’ve been intermittently fasting for months, recently started fasting over the weekends, not eating from Thursday night all the way to Sunday night, it’s tough but it gets easier every time I do it. I am coming to a year now since I started my health journey, I lost 40kg of fat, and feel my best. God bless you Dr. Sten Ekberg.
    812
  32. Dr. Ekberg, I wish you could be front page news. We, as a society, desperately need this information. It would help our "sick care" system if only people would heed your teaching. Hopefully you are not discouraged by others disdain for what you teach. Thank you for teaching us to be health champions. Some of us (many) are truly paying attention, and gaining good health. Have a great weekend!
    805
  33. I've felt bad about not exercising but have never felt bad about exercising after doing it. The hardest part is starting.
    803
  34. dr. Sten, I have finished my intermittent fasting, I cut out carbs in a very large amount, I stopped sugar, I stopped flavorings, I stopped breading, I stopped colorings, I stopped artificial sweeteners, I stopped starchy foods. I arrange my meal times well and even plan one day one meal, I drink enough, my physical condition is improving, thank you and I love you. ❤

  36. It's the food manufacturers that benefit from 3 meals a day ( plus snacks ).

  37. Stuck in ‘100 years ago’ thinking covers much of the advice put out by the majority of governments, health authorities and doctors. If you want to look after your health you have to educate yourself - the state wont help. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thank you for helping that educational process! 🙏🏻
    798
  38. I’ve been fasting for 8+ years and have never felt better. 60lbs down and thriving. Highly recommend
    797
  39. We’ve been lied to for years. I think the hardest part of doing IF is reversing all the story’s we’ve been fed.
    795
  40. Watching Dr Ekberg’s videos makes me feel like I’m attending a university class in health sciences 😊. He masterfully explains his concepts in a no nonsense manner and drives his points across so smoothly. He’s a delight to listen to!😊
