Is there a frugal home-testing method to get feedback on whether or not I'm eating more protein than I need? I don't want to eat too little. Will BUN be reflected also in the urine, or is there a home test not unlike blood glucose? I'd really like to find my personal requirement empirically. Also, would such a test have confounders such as catabolic activity that leads to later anabolism? Primarily, I recall hearing how resistance training can be temporarily catabolic, and that can raise BUN. PS: Is high BUN with adequate protein inevitable with age, given that we don't process protein as well?

So you’re burning Bridges. 😂 Me too. One thing I’ve learned from moving to different places and seeing different doctors is every doctor 100% think they’re right. I could have two doctors tell me two different things and they both swear they’re right & the other guys wrong. example, when a Doctor said it was OK that I use bio identical estrogen cream because I didn’t have a uterus so my age didn’t matter. Another doctor found out I was using it freaked out said you’re gonna have a stroke! That nobody should be on hormones after menopause. The one thing they both agree on is, don’t go on the Internet to find the answer. But I went looking anyway what else am I supposed to do? I didn’t really find an answer. I did find more information saying don’t take the hormone but just because there’s more of it saying that doesn’t mean it’s right. 🤔

Hey Dr Sten. Today marks 10 weeks no sugar or starchy foods. Tons of green leafy vegetables and healthy fats. I eat between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and have never felt better. You're helping me literally turn back the clock on my 54-year-old body. 💪😃👍

Scrolling through KZread mindlessly like usual and here pops up one of your fasting videos. Thankfully I clicked on it and got inspired. It gave me so much hope to get healthy and happy mentally and physically again. Fasting, a little bit of working out (your abs workout is awesome!) And changing my diet to eat healthy, get rid of all processed food and very very low if no sugar has saved me. I'm down to 176lbs as of this morning thanks to you doing the work to make all these amazing videos. Thank you so much for helping me get my life back! You are the true champion!

I cut out all sugar, except I have a weakness for milk, and this week I tested at 5.3% so I averted diabetes. I will have to maintain the keto diet to stay safe, in other words, I still have diabetes, it will come right back if I go back to the standard American diet. Oh well, my two obese sisters are on dozens of medications per day, plus insulin, and they are still struggling.

Dr Ekberg, I have transformed my life by listening very carefully to all of your videos. I’m 61, have been a T2D for over 20 years, and was quite obese. Since February, I have lost lots of weight by going on a strict keto diet and doing intermittent fasting. Mostly I do OMAD, but switch it up to 2MAD once in a while. I live in Nicaragua, so I haven’t had my A1C done, but plan to the end of April. Everything is going great, I am feeling wonderful with this eating style and lots of walking. The only problem is that my blood sugar is right around 150 all the time. It’s stable, but still so high after all this time. Any suggestions?

I am a female in the middle of my 40s and most of my life my weight has been considered normal according to the average weight published in medical journals, but it was a real struggle to maintain my weight. Each time when I lose control of my portions (which can be easily explained with overconsumption of carbohydrates) i gain few kilos just like that and then the same circle of food restrictions had to be implemented in my daily routine. It is exhausting indeed. I am happy that thanks to your videos here i changed my perception of food and can proudly announce I am on keto now. Started 3 weeks ago and I have never been better. I can see not only I am loosing centimetres of my hips but also my face is rejuvenating as I couldn't even dream of. I look better now than in my 30s. Keep that pace doc. You are a real inspiration for many of us.

Following the advice in the book meant cutting all grains and sugars, as well as dairy and processed foods. After a period of time, dairy could be tried, having given the stomach time to heal. Eating this way fixed many issues for me, and now with IF, I feel renewed! Thank you, Dr. Stan, for teaching us the science, both directly and with your guests.

Very interesting. My husband is type 2 with an insulin pump. Unfortunately he is also in stage 3 kidney failure. Last year his potassium and creatine was very critical. Because of this he is very limited on protein intake and potassium. So, doing the high protein and a cast amount of veggies that have high potassium but are considered very healthy is an issue. His diet is very confusing to maintain. Help!!

But he has actually big difficulties to manage his bloodsugar. My parents eat mostly healthy (a lot of vegetables, often from the own garden, meat from well raised animals..) but they also eat a lot of pasta, patatoes, rice, self baked bread (with good quality flower, whole grain and so forth..), self made apple pies, self made cookies and other sugary things. My dad has to begin his day with an apple, cereals in apple juice to get some energy in the morning.. After nearly each meal, my father is depleted for an hour or two - but I don't know if he, as his stomach isn't "normal" any more, could go away from those sugary things? Would it be possible even for him, to try out a sugar free diet? I also see his mood very affected during the day.

What about trying a potato that is boiled and cooled down? It will stil be easy for him to digest, but the sugar spike will be less.

@@maiaallman4635: as a type 1 diabetes now with CKD... My neurologist recommends low to no protein, but it is difficult to manage because I was not getting enough proteins or carbs. I was literally suffering from malnutrition. I had to have a small potato and increase my proteins..., what is the point if I am so weak that I have to stay in bed wasting away with better kidney function 🤷🏼‍♀️

I went from am A1c of 9.0 to 5.5 by diet change. Gone are Sodas, sweets, most but not all carbs (moderation is the key), exercise and no snacking or eating after 6pm. Drinks of choice are now Unsweetened iced Tea, Hot Green tea, purified water or a little coffee in the morning. Sometimes just hot tea in the mornings. Does this mean I don’t have an occasional dessert? No, it doesn’t. Instead of an entire slice of cake or Pie, I have one bite. I still enjoy an occasional potato or rice. But just a very small potato (not a 12oz baked potato) or about a Tbsp of rice is acceptable to me. My fasting sugars are normal It’s about discipline. It’s about Give and take adjustments. Life doesn’t have to be an “All or Nothing” proposition. Binge eating is not allowed. Be smart, be disciplined.. Diet modification takes time. It takes time to develop New habits and forget the old habits.

Thank you Dr Ekberg for this great information on health

Great vid; thank you

I've lost 20kg in 4 months by reducing carbohydrates in diet (110kg to 90kg). I still eat some bread & rice but I try to limit it. I run, walk & cycle for exercise, I always thought I needed to eat something before exercising, now I exercise while fasting, turns out I didn't need those carbs for breakfast. Thanks for your advice and your channel.

Thank you, thank you for this wonderful video. I am diabetic and have tried controlling my glucose by essentially eating as you described. But recently I was hospitalized with a superbug bacterial infection that almost killed me, pneumonia, UTI, skin breakdown, it was bad. I have resisted insulin during the past 5 years since I was diagnosed, but all the doctors insisted I have supplementary insulin injections because the treatment for the superbug included massive intravenous antibiotics sessions, and they were right, during every session, my numbers skyrocketed, so insulin based on my numbers, plus anticoagulants. It was painful, took 10 days to beat it, I'm now recovering at home. But I never wanted to go on insulin, ever. Today I'm fasting, my glucose is at 100, but based upon what you have advised us in this video, I've realized that my doctors actually advocate many of these myths. Have you any suggestions to aid in my recovery? Also, while in hospital, they provided meals that follow the US guidelines, also something I've learned to circumvent in favor of green vegies and lean meats and avocado. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.❤

Your blood sugar may be extra high right now because of stress, cortisol is how your body upregulates blood sugar production - usually because it thinks it needs extra for running away from something.. having stress over a superbug could be making it way worse

Good stuff Doc!

Hello Doctor I have been watching your videos recently and it greatly helped me , thank you very much.

This is an interesting topic, particularly for me. I have always battled stress and obesity. for the last 23 years I have also had Diabetes. I have done this diet and that diet with mediocre temporary results - but combined with the Gym - at one stage I was getting fit and down 40kg. But that diet was self devised since I found no nutritionist who would stray from the routine. Having several chronic disorders, they would restrict the advice to the one specifically prescribed. If Diabetes, then I was handed the same old leaflets, weighed and glucose measured - and sent on my way. Upon reaching home, reality was that I needed some dietary compromise - and professionals these days are incapable of compromise. So I expect their training is restricted to knowing which collection of leaflets to dispense for what, and not about what is actually the best approach the patient can take for what collection of conditions. I do not bother with nutritionists now. The best I have managed is on a self devised diet, which would send a professional into apoplexy - but it is the one that reduced 40kg and got me fit. So I have some experiences, good and bad. I attempted carnivore some time back, but found it expensive, and some changes made me panic. So off diet again. But recently I decided to attempt a carnivore KETO. It is not 100% meat with fat (but very close to it). Weight is plummeting, with no cravings, no HYPOs, maintaining energy and focus - but also NOT HUNGRY. I have long wondered / doubted many of the collection of prescribed pills I have. They seem not to do any good. But now I have to consider, "should I eat - even when not hungry - in order to take doubtful pills as per label instructions?" I hate taking pills for the sake of taking pills and for being COMPLIANT.. Bear in mind my doctor has fed me politically directed and medically unsound advice - I cannot depend on him. So sorry for this long saga, but maybe another viewer might find these thoughts interesting and perhaps useful. I am not medically trained - it is not advice - but details my journey of taking responsibility and making my own judgements for health.

Very informative video. For the past 3 year's I adopt low carb diet along with intermittent fasting after watched your video and other expert. Manage to reverse IR to 3.4ulu/mL .God blessed 🙏.

@Wendy Swain I honestly wasn't sure I was going to make it. I had to rationalize to myself that I'm not going to die and that this discomfort is temporary. My children having a healthy father that can run around with them and not be absent simply because I was out of breath was no longer going to be an option.

I'm old enough to remember when the science didn't recognize non alcoholic fatty liver disease at the beginning of the introduction of processed foods in the supply (USA) I know of many people called liars by the medical community when diagnosed with fatty liver who never took a drink. 😢😮 For them, it was devastating. No apologies ever issued. No, we were wrong.

I’m now realizing that my dad, who died of liver cirrhosis, had NAFLD. His doctor would ask him if he was still drinking. My dad would answer, I’m trying to drink more, meaning water. He was not treated properly (medically) His doc was convinced he was an alcoholic. My dad never drank alcohol, but could finish a pound of fudge in one sitting! We were never given any answers as to why he had cirrhosis. I’ve always believed it was his job as a machinist and being exposed to various metals, or a chromosomal trait. Now, I’m convinced it was the sugar that killed him! He also had heart disease. Thanks so much for educating me!

“Don’t let your feelings betray you” (from Jedi teachings) should be changed to “Don’t let your taste buds betray you”. Everyone is addicted to the “nice” taste of carbs and sugar. Our taste buds (for sugar) is so out of whack to what it should be.

@@KAT-dg6el current taste buds (that have been wrecked by SAD) are very different to those of many thousands of years ago. Taste buds could save one’s life by preventing them from eating something diseased or contaminated when they can taste something is off. Since many ppl are so addicted to sugar and carbs, their taste buds will think/sense that normal and healthy fresh food is just wrong for the body - it wants that sugar hit. Your work mates will be much sicker than you in the future unless they change their ways and follow your example. Unfortunately they have to make that decision to change and all we can do is set a good example for them.

@@VeritasEtAequitas sugar is also definitely much more addictive than heroine and cigarettes. People’s taste buds are so messed up, they can’t drink plain water - it has to be a soft drink. They can’t skip chips. It’s only once one’s taste buds have been restored to normal that they will think SAD foods taste too sweet and awful. You are right about SAD foods also provide comfort - food companies need addicts to help them maintain their profits.

There are many things that most people tolerate well in moderation and which like you said, help provide some variety to food, but which can have devastating effects on some people who are sensitive.

Soon as I ad anything plant I get stiff again. The other day I had a piece of pecan pie and a bunch of things started to hurt where I almost couldn't lift weights. Tried it a gain 2 days latter just to see and again it was horrible. They say iceberg lettuce is mostly water. Well it does the same thing to me. It's not a placebo effect I don't think.

It was the MOST impressive presentation on IR I've ever watched! I thought I knew enough about it but thanks to dr Ekberg, I realised my grasp on the subject was superficial at most. I have a MSc and PhD - I'm an engineers by training - so, I know how to read and interpret data but there is so much disinformation about it (on purpose or by ignorance) that a bright light such as dr Ekberg is a bless very welcome and needed on the subject! I used to watch your videos regularly for years but this one deserves a sterling praise! Thanks dr Ekberg! You are doing what MD were supposed to to but don't. Be proud and be happy🙏🏻
