Dr Ekberg, please do a video linked to this one explaining the randle cycle for your viewers. the randle cycle known since the 1960s is the reason and how the body reacts to carbs and fat simultaneously. in essence, never eat carbs and fat together as it will activate the randle cycle in the body which will make you fat and insulin resistant Long term. everyone should know about the randle cycle and how to eat correctly. the human body needs ZERO exogenous carbohydrates in our diets. we produce enough needed for our brains on demand. low carb high fat is the way to eat. low fat high carb will slowly kill you over time. thanks

I fry a couple of stripes in my iron cast pan every morning, then I fry 3 eggs on the rendered fat. I add some vegetables and I get the perfect breakfast.

I always like your content Dr Ekberg. Before I write my novel-long story related to sugar and fat, I want to thank you because you help a lot understanding all this a bit better, so I can help others being able myself to explain how all this works, blood glucose, insuline resitance, metabolic syndrone(all stuff I suffered without relly being conscious outside the fact doctors tried to make me take pressure pills, which I refused before changing my life habits for good and this is the key, NEW HABITS, FOR LIFE) My parents at 75 keeps thinking saturated fat is bad. But they breakfast everyday with bread and margarine and they're sure it's the most healthy way of living.. You said it, it's been an induced belived for generations, so much that I've been addicted to apple juice(back in the days it was still big cans and I could drank 1 or 2 per day) at age of 3-4 years old. Crazy thing if you ask me, they thought they were doing good as it was suggested, sugar, margarine and poly-insaturated fat everywhere(at leats there was a good amount of saturated fat too. Guess what, I've been overweighted for more than 30 years, until a cut carbs of my habits. It wasn't the lack of workout or too much fat, but way too much sugar. But at 75, they just listen to what FDA(or such) suggest and they take what family doctor says as absolute truth and they get a lot of their information from cable tv and new channels. Parents aren't together anymore, so I couldn't influence positively my father with his fear of saturated fat(but there no butter in the house, except for me when I visit them), but he diminished so much the amout of sugar and just that is a huge milestone as he always been a sugar bug but very very active at the same time, which helps having a great heart. Finally, as for my mom, I was able to have a bigger impact to have her cutting canola and other omega-6, diminishing sugar and desserts and even getting her understanding how blood glucose works.(she has a grandson with diabete type 1 who his heatlh has been inpacted so much a 22, because he failed to take care of his insulin and diet for too long that now he has incontinence issues and even vision issues.) Fortunately outside of that sugury part of the diet when I was young, my mom has been at home full time until I was 15(divorce), so we never went to fastfood before and she always cooked healthy food and despite the juice load with carbs, she never bought sodas. Most of the sugar was not coming from her food, but we were adding it form nutella, sugary cereal etc etc etc,a although there was potatos at very meal.

Check out Thomas DeLauer talk about how potatoes can have a much lesser glucose spike depending on how they are prepared, for example microwaved is best, chilled afterwards is even better. To mitigate insulin response, eat AFTER protein, fat &/or fiber, or even just loaded up with protein & fat heavy toppings. I am doing mostly carnivore right now, but I still add about a quarter of a loaded potato a couple times a week for variety (as well as the added benefit of carb cycling). Every body has different needs, so YMMV; try to discover what works best for YOU.

Am so glad you go on to discuss the'big picture'. My husband would read the title and just go for the bacon. He has worked up to 6 stints in his heart and 2in his leg. In past he ate a tray of fat the cooks had cut off pork. For a while he cut back on fat. He was very active until back and knee injuries stopped his running. He is a bread-aholic and never had 'A' piece of candy ( more like a fist full). So glad you point out it's the combo.

I think this guy gets it. Great video. it’s really about the big picture as well. There’s so many foods offered to us that just go together and nobody thinks about. I changed how I do things. There’s a lot of stuff you don’t need to eat. Think society consumes way more sugars and carbs in drinks than they realize too. That’s the hidden stuff that’s so easy to pile up. And nobody’s getting a shortage of fat in their diets. Love the messaging here. Many foods are assumed to be bad just because.

Great point about fat and carbs/sugar together vs vegetable and carbs/sugar... Thank you!

My diet in september 2019 was greek jogurt with lots of coconut rasps, 100-200g smoked bacon or deep fried meat or mozzarella, dark chocolate and steak with beer for dinner. did this for about 45 days. I lost some weight, had good energy and was super productive. And i still think it saved my life to do this right before a big surgery. I upped my ketones with that and was fasting when i woke up for a few days.

I went carnivore back in December and ate lots of raw, fatty, bacon to get as much fat as possible. Just thought I'd let you know that I was able to easily remember my dreams after about 2 weeks where as before I was eating lots of carbs and couldn't remember any dreams. This is important for those of us that are working with a spiritual teacher who can take us on Soul Travel journeys out of the body. Lots of insights into life can come from dreams so remembering them is handy. I'm able to get a far better rest when sleeping also. It feels like a very deep and healing type of sleep. I'm even dreaming and remembering them between 10 minute hits of the snooze button. I guess the saturated fat in bacon really helps the brain. I'm able to buy sugar free bacon from a local butcher. I wake up a lot earlier in the morning feeling fully refreshed and ready to go. So lots of improvements from a high fat carnivore diet although I still have nerve problems in the hands. I'm a 64 yo guy. Thanks so much for your ongoing excellent explanations of health.

Great information video. Thanks for sharing.

You are so awesome! I have learned so much from you and benefited muchly. Thank you!

I am a living proof of your point, Dr. Ekberg. With very few exceptions, I have 2 slices of bacon, 2 fried eggs and sallad every lunch since at least 10 years. I drink a tall glass of water with a Tsp each of ACV and pure lemon juice to it , with a few drops of fluid stevia added. I am 80 y o now, and I feel great. To my own surprise I still look forward to that lunch every day (no breakfast). I started eating this food the day I learned not to be scared of saturated fat but embrace the LCHF life style. My knee artrosis disappeared almost completely, my blood pressure dropped to normal without pills, and I got rid of my stubborn warts. No way I'll stop eating my bacon and eggs if I am not forced to for some reason.

Good morning and thank you Dr. Love waking up to see a new video from you. Love me some bacon. What is your stance on turkey bacon? 🤔

Great video Dr. Ekberg. Just wondering what is wrong with the nitrates.

I've been dieting/losing weight since the 1st of January. 22Kg lost, and now in a healthy BMI range. I only found your channel a month ago or so, and it has helped me kick myself out of a plateau. THe first 5-6 month I was doing the calorie restriction thing that everyone recommends, it was hard I was having to do do 1000 calorie workouts on my bike in the evening to meet my target....although I found that skipping breakfast made it easier to eat less during the day(now I know why). Anyway, I'm wondering if months of calorie restriction has suppressed my BMR, is there a way to check this that doesn't involve medical professionals (I'm not sure that's a service that's even offered here in the UK). Is there a way to kick a suppressed BMR back up to a decent level? If so could you do a video describing that. All the videos I've seen on youtube is how to start losing weight avoiding crashing your BMR, what if you've already crashed it?

I love this guy. He gives people hope and leaves out the guilt trip. Rational. Non-judgmental. Seems like he really cares about helping people to understand how they can change their lives.

I like your delivery, Its direct and makes sense. I've been eating low carb for a year and feel great. I'm curious about alcohol, if I have 1.5-2.5 oz. of scotch after work, what is that doing to my body, liver, everything?

That is so much information to hear and try to understand.

This may be a bit premature, but I have been a vegetarian for 5+ years but recently made the hard choice to start incorporating bacon into my Keto diet, which I have been on now for about 5 weeks, due to having episodes of severe low blood sugar crashes - although I noticed Keto (before I introduced bacon) was helping me not have the sugar crashes, I was still having bouts of low blood sugar symptoms (anxiety, foggy, disoriented/confusion/not able to think properly and 0 mental/physical energy) between meals and sometimes after a meal... That being said, tonight was my 5th meal including bacon and I have noticed feeling gradual improvements with each meal that I have bacon. I started noticing since this morning's meal that I actually have steadier energy levels between my two meals for the first time and I feel I have mental/physical energy that continues even after I eat that I haven't experienced in maybe a year or more - I had forgotten what it was like to feel I have energy for years now... Only just now realizing the difference. I feel more me for the first time in maybe years (just hadn't noticed because I was so used to it). So I have NO idea why this is occurring for me (I know meat provides essential nutrients many vegetarians/vegans have to find another way to get) but I feel so relieved that the bacon not only seems to be giving me more energy, it seems to be keeping my blood sugars balanced. Read about it, not sure how. Just so grateful. I feel like I am getting my life back, as crazy as that may sound. Although I am still adjusting to doing something that is against my morals in regard to the well-being of animals, I learned that sometimes for your health, you may have to make these choices against your morals... I thank the beautiful animal for how he/she is helping me heal and better my health.

No one, and I mean no one should be having 5 meals a day. You're constantly spiking your blood sugar and having an insulin response every time you eat. Not good for your body or longevity.

@@martykirby7311 I completely agree with you! - I should have been more specific - I meant that night was my 5th meal in 3 days; 2 meals a day. I sometimes had to do 3 meals a day to keep my low blood sugar up, but now down to two 😊

9 years clean, whole food plant based OMAD 20-22IF until I did a 180°from one day's meal to the next day's meal. Holy Crappola! Had not an inking of what this would do. I twas a WOWZA. I knew while I was eating that first carnivore meal something big & life changing had happendd. I went from vegan to not vegan by the time I had eaten a pound patty of organic grass fed beef. I HAVE TO NOW MAKE MYSELF EAT PLANTS.

So I went to a diet that included more bacon which I was previously afraid of, along with reduced carbs and two years later got a lipids test. My cholesterols we're in line for the first time in recent decades. Statins did nothing for me but this worked.

This was very interesting. Thank you.

Just an FYI. Dr Berry MD has myth busted the nitrate scare.

Great topic. I eat bacon almost everyday. I like bacon with an avocado; or I eat bacon with Brussels sprouts, or just eat bacon along.

Love you. Can you please make a Video about how to eat vegetables For Most nutrients and lowest antinutrients? (Cooking,fermenting)

Can you do a video on daily drinking (3 or 4 beers) and insulin. Your videos are great doc. Keep them coming

Before watching this, I just have to say -- I have, for the last year and a half, been eating 7-9 strips of bacon 4 or so times per week. I hope I don't croak from it! I love bacon... and eggs...

I've been doing the BBB&E diet (Beef, Butter, Bacon & Eggs) for the past 3 weeks, and my energy has shot through the roof. In fact, I woke up early and jumped on my rowing machine and did a 10k session, which is the first time it's been possible for me to do since 2017! More importantly, my blood sugars are under control. The most obvious side effect is that I don't have to run to the bathroom every couple of hours. I thought it was due to the diuretic I'm on, but turns out it was just because I was trying to flush out all the sugar from my blood stream. That sugar was also what was making me so lethargic I could barely do one kilometer on my rowing machine. Now I'm alert, sleeping soundly, and looking forward to my labs next month (instead of dreading it) when I get my next checkup.

great informative video! thanks Dr:)

I had to pause the video and write, you are so amazingly great as an educator. I sit my son down and have him watch videos like this when I can so he can learn about the foods he puts into his body and he can completely understand at thirteen, what he needs to know. It is so hard in our society with all the garbage out there to know what to eat and not eat. I have always told him to eat foods closest to whole food. But, it is better coming from an educated person about why something is good or bad, not just eat this not that. He needs the understanding for himself and not just the "stop eating this", because mom said so. I am one of those people that has to have almost no carbs to lose weight and finally understand that now. I need to look through your library and see if you have a video on dairy.

My niece took a Nutrition degree, she commented shortly after graduation that margarine is healthier than butter. I think they use outdated textbooks.

If that was my niece I'll sever all ties with her.

I don’t know if it’s healthy or not but the breakfast that gives me lasting energy right through to super, skipping lunch is a cup of coffee with cream and a half dozen strips of bacon. It’s also a delicious combination.

Great video Doc, loved it 👌 👍 😀 👏

🥓 video was Great 👍 thanks for the Middle of the road Approach 😀

With the current price of bacon in Canada, I don’t know how anyone could afford such a treat every day…also one must consider the difference in quality and sustenance in all the bacon products that are offered

I just finished my first day of complete fasting and I feel great.

The BBBE diet has been all the rage lately in the low carb/keto/carnivore communities. Beef/Butter/Bacon/Eggs are really nearly impossible to overeat, as they are so high in protein & fat, which are extremely satiating. Great post =)

The issue of nitrates is a fallacy also. The USDA limits the amount of nitrates that can be added to cured meats. Very small amounts. Green leafy vegetables have much more nitrites/nitrates than any realistic amount of bacon one would eat.

Absolutely, also watch Dr Berry's video on bacon and nitrates. We make way more in our body than we could possibly consume because our body needs them. So true that it is a fallacy. People need to start seeing the truth.
