Dear Dr. Ekberg, I finished my first five-day fast two days ago. Days 2 and 3 were difficult, but I somehow scraped through them, took some salt, magnesium and potassium. I have watched dozens of your videos already (they are great!), and I am now on day three on keto, but I have one doubt: Surely our ancestors, between feast and fast, must have depended (at least almost) exclusively on fruit for some short periods (for sure they should have preferred it to fasting, and not have been too picky about the GI of the fruit). Would you agree on this and how would this occasional behaviour show in our long-term health (providing that we are fully healthy when we eat fruit enough to drive us out of ketosis)?

I arrived home on September 5th and noticed a weird feeling in both of my legs below the knees. It's not numbness or tingling; but more like a super thin nylon is on. After days of research and a lot of crying, I started the Keto diet. No carbs, no Peanut M & M, and I've dropped 10 pounds already. And, the pain from arthritis the in my knees feels like it's gone. I've also experienced very dry mouth. I've been worried sick and on my knees praying that it's only pre and not type 2. I'm 62. Aging is not for the faint of heart.

Im 33, skinny and appears to be healthy in other ppl’s eyes. I ate a lot of vegetables, meat and rice. I rarely eat candy believe or not. But I have had problems for like 10 years! I got extremely tired after meals, to the point i had to take naps at work. I also got confused a lot even had kidney spams sometimes and I had bad insomnia. For the past 10 years, my doctors never found out the problems, they always say your blood tests came back fine. It was frustrating that no one can tell me what’s wrong! I had to google around and self diagnose, I suspected I have insulin issues (signs of pre-diabetic). I have been following you since last month. You taught me how to be healthy. I am now taking less carbs, replaced white rice to brown/black rice and have been running daily. I feel like a new person! I listen to your videos when I am exercising and it gives me motivation to stay healthy and feel good. Thank you!

I just needed to stop by and express the highest gratitude for Dr. Ekberg. He is one of my four goto KZread channels for guidance on health and wellness. I thought I was a little “chubby” but had my weight under general control. I went for an annual physical in early august and the first thing is to step on that scale. They usually have me take my sneakers off but said it’s ok I don’t have to. I figured it may show me a few pounds higher but that’s ok. Well this 43 y/o 5’9 guy stepped on the scale and it read a whopping 231 lbs!!!! I was shocked and disgusted with myself. I looked at a picture from a few days earlier and couldn’t believe how much I was lying to myself. I was fat, period. I knew something had to be done, once before in my life I reached 249 and never wanted to be there again, but was slowly creeping back up. With the help of the good dr, and a few others here, I learned all about IF. I started practicing it on august 5th. I began with 16:8 for a few weeks, moved onto 18:6 for a few weeks, then OMAD ever since. I incorporated walking 10,000 steps by week 4 and added some weight training soon after for a 1:40-2:00 workout 6/7 days a week ever since. I weigh myself once a week on Thursday mornings. Every single week after the first weeks crazy weight drop of 12 lbs (???) I lose between 3-4 lbs. my one meal is a hello fresh healthy option most nights that is always delicious. I’m proud to say I currently weighed in this morning at 175.4 lbs, I am 15 lbs from my goal weight where my BMI lists me as “normal weight” vs “overweight” and my starting “obese” weight. I feel amazing, I actually have some slight muscle definition. I went from between a size 38-40 pants down to a 34 and I haven’t had any sizes or weights like this in over 20 years!!! Thank you so much to the penultimate health champion, I actually think I will reach my goal now and I am so grateful for Dr. Sten Ekberg 😀

I had all the symptoms.. but at the same time my blood glucose tests results were normal. I have been on IF for few months now, started with 3 meals a day, 16:8, for few weeks, then 2 meals 18:6 and now omad. I've lost a lot of weight, went from mild obese to healthy BMI. I'm feeling great. Finding this channel has been a great blessing.

Everything you’ve said in this video is 100% accurate as I see this in the medical field I work in and I see this in my families life and in my own. Thanks Doc for this easy to understand explanation.

I went on a low carb diet a few years ago and 95% of my head to toe joint pain went away. Got stronger and more energetic too. It's a permanent diet for me now. A nice side effect, things that used to taste sour or bitter now taste sweet. Plain yogurt for example.

Thank you Dr Ekberg. I was diagnosed with pre diabetes 8 weeks ago. My doctor told me to just cut down a little on sugary drinks and eat less white bread and things would be fine. I came across your videos (among others) and I have to say that you have changed my life due to the advice you have given. I've lost nearly 3 stones (40lbs), feel better than I ever have and I could never go back to what I was doing. I suffered from most of these symptoms you describe and I would advise anyone else who does to make that change asap. You won't regret it.

I have type 1 diabetes, and I’ve been doing keto, intermittent fasting and working out 45 mins to an hour a day EVERY day and my A1C has dropped to 5.8 from an 8. I also only take 6 units of insulin a day now down from about 24. My doctor always told me that because I have type one diabetes I can eat what I want, I just have to take more insulin. Crazy!

This actually blew my mind. 🤯 I immediately cut out everything bad and it was alot of stuff. I think I was/am prediabetic. I am a 64 year old female. My tingling, fatigue, numbness and joint pain are GRADUALLY decreasing. I started Keto Oct. 1, 2021. I have none of the other symptoms. I am 100% in. I am now drinking Zevia.

I recently started to really focus on reading the ingredients on packages and discovering 90% of the food in our stores are loaded with added sugar and harmful chemicals that can lead to so many health issues in a long term. I encourage you all to start reading ingredients. Thank you so very much Doc! Have a great weekend!

The larger belly also comes from your liver being full of glucose and enlarged. Reducing carbs burns up excess glycogen (glucose) in the liver and makes it smaller.

Hey, fasting twice a week really helps you with controlling your insulin. Look up the benefits of fasting. I do it because the benefits outweigh the annoyance of not being allowed to eat what l want, when l want. Putting your body first once a week is the most humbling thing to do for yourself.

I’ve had tingling and numbness in my hands and arms for years, never realized it could be a sign of pre-diabetes.

Dr Sten Ekberg you are the first doctor that has talked about real numbers for diabetes being a maths man and studied my diabetes for over 8 years and have controlled my diabetes by diet from an A1C of 86 down to 43 mm mmols / mol. The average normal non diabetic was 5.233 % with half being below this number and half being above this number up to 5.8%. As you can see I am familiar with both scales 5.8% = 40 mmol/mol. Diabetes is a ladder we all climb and it’s a ladder we can decend. I do love your lectures o keep up the good work

Genius presentation! The absolute best way of explaining the issue. I have been concerned about this issue for a number of years because I work long hours and occasionally binged on junk foods for a period of time and then become pre-diabetic. I usually realign my diet and my blood sugar drops back to the normal range. But I need to consider getting my blood sugar lower and not repeating this dangerous cycle. Thanks Doctor Sten, very much appreciated.

So happy I found this video. I'm 28 but recently have noticed my vision seeming to be worsening quickly, been tired for years, circulation worrying and just remembered I did some blood tests a couple months ago. My A1C is 5.5, time to make some changes

I had no prediabetes symptoms, by the time symptoms started appearing, I was in the 400’s. Good news is, I brought it down to normal levels with no meds. I no longer have diabetes unless I turn the switch on by eating too much carbs again

Greatly appreciated those videos from Dr Ekberg. All of them were explained clearly in layman terms to help me understand how the body really works. And most importantly, help me to manage health effectively. With the information provided through this channel, I have the confident to start keto diet 2 months ago. Definitely my waistline is slimming down slowly, but other parts of my health problems like insomnia is not going away yet. I am so glad to know that 5.7 is bother line whereas my the paper of my blood test showed "within normal range". Luckily, I am doing the right things on time to reverse insulin resistance. Thank you Dr Ekberg for your good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless all of us 😇😇😇😇. Cheers🌅😀

Because i have an athletic body, and make regular exercise, i always thought that i could eat and drink just about everything, apart from avoiding too much meat and fat (that turns out not to be as bad as it supposed to)...i've also been through a lot of stresses, which is an external factor, anyways, i've been getting a few warnings from my body that things are not quite alright, symptoms that come so slowly that at first you don't pay much attention to. You (and a few others) have helped me a lot geting back on track without going to see a doctor that may just want to stuff you with pills and having you coming back regularly, just like a dishonest mechanic. Very appreciated for what you do, Doc!

@@drekberg I'm a Brit living in South Carolina, preventative health care is almost scoffed at here, it's almost like it's easier to treat an issue than to prevent it, but obviously it's a money thing. Far more money in treating a patient than not having one to begin with. When you make our health part of a "for profit" system then the money will always take priority. However my national health underpaid UK Doctors made many mistakes just with me growing up. Getting sent away from the Doctors with a broken leg, in 2 places no less, having a filling implode and then the crown used to fix it failed. I got sent to hospital with a blocked heart valve, turned out I had appendicitis and thankfully the surgeon caught it. Got sent home from the Doctors with internal bleeding, he thought it was diarrhea, I was later rushed to the hospital.
