@drekberg Arsenic is natural too, but most of us would know that Arsenic is Poison . . . I guess we ought to think of Refined Sugar as Poison, too. My husband pointed at me when you said Withdrawls, LOL . . . Yes, my name is Tammy, and I am a Sugar Addict, and I have replaced a lot of my sugar with Erythritol products like Swerve Confectioner for baking and Swerve Brown for sweetening my hot tea. Lily's is my go-to for sugar-free Milk Chocolate morsels. But I am not sure if this is the best plan, because it still gives me the sweet pleasure . . . Then when I am around Mom, she has ice cream in sugar cones called drumsticks, and I eat 4-5 within 3 days . . . So I know I am on a sugar roller coaster, so like you said, the addiction mimics heroine addiction, and I keep riding the roller coaster. But since I quit using most white sugar in 2020, and I don't eat honey, agave, syrup, molasses, brown sugar, no fruit except strawberries, cut out bread, rarely eat potatoes, and only use bacon grease/lard or olive oil for cooking (no seed oil), I was able to stop using Naproxen anti-inflammatory and my A1C went from 6.0 to 5.3 in 2021. My doctor put me on a prescription of Naproxen for Plantar Fasciitis in 2017 after another car hit my car, and I thought the foot pain would never leave. But after I stopped eating sugar, starch and seed oils in 2021, I have no joint pain since stopping the seed oils and Wheat, and no Pre-Diabetes anymore since late 2020 after cutting out sugar in June 2020 when I turned 50 years old, and that was my milestone that I have to get serious for my health. Now I feel better than I have for years, and if I eat high carb for a few days, I feel the difference within 24-48 hours, pain comes back in my joints and I get a little sick to my stomach. Going around my family who DOES NOT eat Low Carb like my husband and I do is the hardest part. We can go out to restaurants and eat better than I do at my Mom's or Brother's family's house, so now sometimes, we pack a meal or two and eat differently than what they are eating at the same table . . . It makes a BIG difference, and seeing my family is still the BIGGEST CHALLENGE in what I see as a Life Change, NOT a 6-month diet until I hit my target weight. I have to do Low Carb until the day I die, but that's not bad, because I get a lot of bacon, cheeseburgers, snacks of cheese, steak, etc, so I am not going back to High Carb, because I like not having joint pain. And this journey all started with my husband saying, my Mom used to be a nurse and she asked me to look into whether I have Insulin Resistance, and this Dr. Sten Ekberg talks about that . . . So my first Low Carb KZread video was "3x More Deadly than CANCER and Most People Don't Know They Have It." And we did your Online Course too!! You have saved our lives and we are spreading the word. Thank you from the bottom of my now healthy heart!!

I am a 70 yr old male, who suffered from fatty liver. I had the problem for three years that i know of. Extreme Itching on my left arm every winter, and mild itching all over. Then one morning i was shocked at the colour of my urine, i checked the whites of my eyes, they were yellow. So after booking a Drs appointment, i searched youtube, and found Sten. In March of this year, i changed my diet, and my exercise, (or the lack of it) I took the cold turkey route, complete keto, no rice, pasta, sugar, potatoes or bread. No alcohol. Yes, i suffered keto flu, and thought i was in total liver failure. I developed pain to my left heel, to the point i could not put any weight on it. I also had pain in my neck and both shoulders. But, as my new found life style took hold, so the pains all vanished. I have lost 30 pounds in weight, my BP is normal and my resting heart rate is slightly above fifty BPM. Because eggs now play a large part in my daily diet, my eye sight has improved. I have Macular Degeneration to my right eye, but instead of a black hole in the middle of my sight, i now have colour. Yes, my vision is still blurred in that eye, but now far more tolerable. For years i suffered fainting type attacks just before lunchtime, but not since i cut out sugar. I no longer have to juggle exercise with meals, i get out of bed, and straight on my cross trainer for a hour. A coffee and a dog walk later, i have my 2 egg omelette breakfast, and then do a very brisk 5 mile walk. I used to have my meals at 1pm and 5pm. I now have a breakfast and dinner, but no lunch. I sleep better, and shorter. When i wake, i am up and ready to go, no laying in to try and make up for a bad nights sleep. After six months, i am now a little more relaxed with my choice of foods, i bought a loaf of bread about a week ago. It will be mouldy before i get to eat it, so i guess my bad habits have left me, and i didn't really notice. After this video, i will be adding some occasional fruit to my daily diet. If you are all wondering why i put such a large comment, then i can tell you, it is to show my gratitude to Sten for getting my death delayed, and my life back on track. Dr. Ekberg, thank you so much.

Well done. It is really hard for the first 2 to 3 weeks, but I promise you that the longer you go without sugar, ( I only eat small amounts of Blackberries, Blueberries or Raspberries, and no other fruit. I don't eat them every da either. I don't eat honey and I have to check cooked chicken slices as these can contain sugar) then the easier it will become and the better you will start to feel.

This is THE BEST video I have seen for explaining benefits of quitting sugar with a breakdown of how it works. Thank you for this! I have been trying to give up sugar for over 3 years and can’t ever seem to make it past a week. I gave up alcohol on my own a year ago and This video could be the inspiration to get that sugar out of my diet. It’s so hard when you live in a household with others that don’t agree with the importance of this change but I want this and I know I am capable! I plan to post back on here after my 30 days!

I gave up sugar 6 weeks ago and I've lost 42lbs so far. I am utterly astonished by this. I did feel very weak for the first few weeks and actually felt like giving up but the weight loss has encouraged me to stick with it. I'll never allow any form of sugar back into my life. It is gone for good.

I had blood pressure that was through the roof (200/117 or thereabout most days). I was overweight and had belly fat. I quit sugar in all forms so no table sugar, no fruits, no rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, etc. I am down from 87 kgs to 65 kgs. Belly fat gone. Blood pressure normal (normally below 130/85 most of the time) and my overall health has improved tremendously including restored lung function. I had been diagnosed with asthma and at one time used inhalers. After dropping sugar in all forms my lung function is now normal. I am 57 years old. Keep up the good work you are doing. You are saving lives.

When I started Keto in March 2020 the pandemic was a benefit to me in some ways. I wasn't going to holiday get togethers. There was no candy floating around the office. I could just make and eat my own food. Now 3/12 years later Thanksgiving is a breeze. I truly have no interest in eating the pies and sugary treats. I have no interest in eating all the carby side dishes. I think many of us truly do get used to it and do get to feeling completely fulfilled with the low carb lifestyle. So I hope you don't give up on the idea. You may have decided to eat sugar at Thanksgiving. You may decide to do it again at Christmas. But you don't have to do it every day in between. You don't have to wait til New Years day, Just do your best every day during the holidays. There is a very good chance if you stick with it you will stop making those decisions to eat sugar. You will feel and look so much better. Your cravings will be in the past. Next year it won't be difficult at all. BUT,nif you go low carb and then start eating all the low carb desserts and snacks you are not going to be able to get to that place where the cravings are in the past. It will be much easier and faster to get there if you don't go for the keto treats. Just eat real food simply prepared.

The cravings only last a few days, but after a few weeks, I started to see sugar as poison, and actually don't want any of the things that are unhealthy. No cravings, except !! when I smell bread toasting. It's just "one of those things", and no big deal. After 1 1/2 years, I feel better at age 65 than I did at 40. My post-CVD syndrome is much much better, and the bonus is that I've lost weight and now slim and trim. I also started rowing every day, thrice a day, and lifting weights.

Hang in there! The best thing I ever did for my self 5 years ago was to adhere to a ketogenic diet! I lost a lot of weight(65lbs), my joint pain went away and my energy and general well being went way up. There are so many great foods you can eat that are simple to make and your taste buds really do change. I am now “ fat adapted”, so I can eat some carbs if I’m out for dinner at someone’s house or at a restaurant without it affecting me. I mostly use intermittent fasting now to reap benefits and stick to a lower carb diet. In my experience, everything Dr. Ekberg has said, is true, has been life changing for me and best of all, I’ve been able to make it a life style not just a “diet”. Be careful of all the “naysayers”!

I don’t need to keep doing it anymore and I don’t miss it. Stick with it my friend. Your body will thank you for it.

I have started this challenge, even before I started watching this video. I’ve been doing it for two weeks now and I already see and feel improvement throughout my body. My vision has improved. My knees are not hurting anymore. I can also feel like my body is less swollen. This video has excellent information

I can tell from my experience of cutting out sugar & carbs that I felt a lot better in many ways! My mood improved, like doc said, my vision improved too. I stopped getting weary eyes while driving esp at night. Also, my blood pressure was totally under control without any medicine! All this and many more besides reducing considerable amount weight. I went down from 88Kgs to 68.2Kg now!!

I can say that I experienced all of these benefits as I took the challenge 2 years ago as an experiment. I was surprised how quickly things changed for me. What made the difference for me was Dr. Ekberg's explanation gave me a more clear understanding of how the body works.

Recalling the detailed explanations helps me reinforce my new practices.

I quit sugar 3 months ago thanks to your videos. I’m 24lbs lighter- partly thanks to my health club membership which I never would’ve had the energy to even get myself to before. I really thought swapping all my coffees with milk and sugar for green tea with stevia would leave me lethargic and struggling through each day. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I feel great. The most surprising difference to me was was going from daily use of painkillers for arthritic type aches and pains to almost never needing pain relief because all the inflammation has gone. Thank you so much. I encourage everyone to try this. Some fruit is now back in my diet but added sugar is gone for good!

@@HollywoodConnection-JAST thanks. I did one 88 hour fast. Generally I eat an evening meal each day and a snack a few hours before that of 4 corn thins (crackers) with butter and kimchi. Or cheese, homemade coleslaw, hummus, whatever is in the fridge. If I’m really hungry in the morning I’ll have porridge (oatmeal) made with milk, stevia, and berries or a banana. Maybe twice a week. No other snacks. This works for me and I don’t feel hungry or deprived so I’m sticking to it 🙂

I love this information and it has helped me on my new path. I was diagnosed in august 2023 with a pre-diabetic condition, the next day I made the conscious decision to change my lifestyle. I have not stopped, from staying hours at the supermarket reading labels to watching info on line, I have completely erased sugars from my diet. I only buy foods that either help or that are borderline acceptable with sugars (-4 grams) and 6 months in, apart from having lost 25 lbs, I feel much better and I feel more energetic. Anybody can do this, all it takes is will power and focus. I don’t say that it was easy, but if you put your mind into it, you will succeed, guaranteed. Thank you

Dr. Ekberg has changed my life! I feel like he has given me the golden key to weight loss and so many other things.

I have pre diabetic. I stop eating sugar, starch, etc for 3 days. Just eating chicken meat, fish & boiled eggs. I got all the benefits that dr.Sten mentioned and even more. Before, I never knew that sugars is so addictive

Perhaps you should reexamine your choice to be vegetarian. Ruminant animals have multiple stomachs, they can digest and make bioavailable the nutrients in plants. As a human being your cecum (a part of your digestive system) is not suited to make those nutrients bioavailable. It doesn't matter how many nutrients are in kale if your body isn't equipped to get it from the plant into your blood stream in a form your body can use. @@stefanflorin4240

36 YO. I stopped using refined sugar a year ago. My body is now in much better shape and energy level is up.

A very clear video on the benefits of cutting out sugar and carbs, something I have been struggling with for over 18 years. In that time I put on 23kg and can hardly walk now at 77yrs as arthritis in back and knee is so painful. This doesn’t help when I want to exercise but have no energy and it hurts. Although Christmas is near, I am going to start a trial of 30 days sugar/carb free and hope to post a comment after then on how I went. New doctor recently did my annual check & said insulin is raised, you need to lose weight. Sounds like this might be my saviour. Thank you Dr Ekberg and to all who commented 👏

Yea what he said about the taste buds is absolutely true . I quit all sugar and carbs about three years ago , lost 57 pounds and so many foods taste amazing now . I enjoy eating more so now . .

I stopped eating sugar 18 months ago after watching one of your videos and lost weight and had all of the health benefits you described here too. 😎

After I watched many of your videos, I stopped eating sugar products as mentioned in this video since September. My blood sugar drops from 110 to 75 and losing 15lbs. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.

Hi Doc. i have type2diabetes, fatty liver and tiny gallstones. when I saw this video. I dropped sugar and most carbs in my diet. After 7 days I lost almost 5kg, feel better and my FBS is from 187mg/dL to 121 now. All in 7 days. Thank you so much❤.

I stopped eating sugar for 30 days I was feeling weak and was trying to eat but I controlled myself by not eating any of the sweets but instead I started taking banana in my diet I saw the benefits i became more active , no pains . After watching your video I felt I am on the right track Thank you for sharing such an informative video

Live changing is right. I started this 14 months ago. I've lost 80 lbs. I wasn't eating candy or pastries where the sugar is obvous, but there was so much hidden sugar, and I was carb heavy. Better than that, I've recently had my blood work done at my annual physical. Everything Dr. Ekberg says is true. I was pre-diabetic and had a fatty liver. My previous doctor never even mentioned either. I guess she thought "well, she's morbidly obese,so I won't waste my time". My new doctor brought up my charts because I'd lost so much weight, that's when I found that out. NOW, all of my blood work is beautiful, normal ranges on everything, AND, I no longer even need blood pressure medication. The only thing I take is a good quality multi-vitamin just to make sure I'm not missing any micro-nutrients. I was happy for the weight loss - feeling so much better just due to that, but I didn't know if all of the other claims would be true. they absolutely are! Thank you Dr. Ekberg. I've learned so much from you, having to resort to my own research to improve my health. We're blessed to have you to educate us.

Hello , doctor Ekberg. I quit smoking years ago (heavily addicted , 2 pack a day) . Alcohol free 2 years (not alcoholic in a major way) I fast daily - Why is the sugar such a problem ? Is it because it is the last vice/ pleasure ? I gotta get into it . Gotta man up. Wish me luck and even better strength.

Great job with transformation so far! HUGE accomplishments! The reason, if I may, you are struggling with sugar isn't will power, it's very likely gut disbiosis such that you have more "bad guys" than good in your digestive system. And the bad guys send neurotransmitters to your brain that SCREAM for sugar to keep them alive. The good guys don't live on that crap so they don't ask for it. So if you bite the bullet (again) with sugar and cut it out long enough your bad guys will be starved out to a degree that their messages for sugar no longer outweigh your good guys' messages sent to your brain for cruciferous vegetables. I kid you not! Just knuckle down on the sugar long enough and you'll shut off those incessant messages for it. Best to you!

Depends upon your health goals? If your seek loss of excess body-fat, sugar will via insulin STOP fat burning while filling your blood with so much sugar the body can not use it so it will be stored for future use, first in the liver then muscles then limbs/torso in a pattern to ensure balance and maintained mobility, the body is clever about such things. You have achieved a lot, dumping sugar will be well within your reach. Keep going. 👍

@@SpamMouse The body is clever indeed

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, however, I did stop sugar altogether and am still reaping the best health benefits. I am 61 yrs now and have never been as healthy as I am now. I lost over 15 kg, and yes my taste buds have changed. I can't eat sweets now, I also noticed that white rise, white potatoes and pasta do raise my sugar level, therefore I eliminated that as well and also got good benefits. There is an issue when one goes out to restaurants, so I don't go out either. My advice to you is if you want to get into good health, listen carefully to this clip, it's exactly right what he says. Everything starts in the brain and strong will. Do yourself a favour take good care of yourself and take a practical approach. Thank you for this clip Dr. Sten

Day 1 - it was willpower and willpower alone. Days 2 and 3 - the worst emotional crash ever. I cried almost continually and was exhausted beyond belief. By day 4 - Dr. Sten Ekberg was my least favorite person on the planet. But by day 7 - the only way I can describe it is that inside my body, like my blood actually felt ‘clean.’ My gut felt ‘clean.’ It was almost euphoric. And I’m sure it wasn’t euphoria, but to me it felt that way. And at that point, I knew this is how I want to feel and how I want to take care of my body. I’m still in the 30-day challenge. I truly believe that quitting sugar and carbs cold turkey is the only way. And I am amazed how complacent I was through most of my life when it comes to the eating ‘norm.’ Stumbling upon Dr. Ekberg has been the most amazing eye-opener for me. With each video I watch, I am that more amazed at what I did not know and what all of us humans-who eat food-need to know for our health.

Quitting sugar = FREEDOM

Dr Ekberg I just wanted to share my amazing transformation in only 4 Months. I’m a 53 year old male 6 ‘2. My Triglycerides were 1920 yes that’s correct 1920. My A1C was 12.9. My doctor recommended that I go on a statin immediately as my risk of heart attack or stroke was very high. I reluctantly agreed but I also started following your advice and went on a high fat low carb diet. I also swam for 15 minutes daily.I quit alcohol, bread, sugar and soda. After one Month my weight dropped from 248 lbs to 225 lbs. I stopped taking the statins after 1 Month as my fasting blood sugar was always in the 80’s. After 4 Months I was at 188 lbs. I returned to my doctor with my new bloodwork results. Triglycerides still a little high but now at 275. A1C at 5.4! That was 6 weeks ago. I cannot thank you enough for putting me on this path. I lost 60 lbs but more importantly I can almost keep up with my grandkids in a foot race again! My wife also joined me during this time and has had very similar result. I mostly skip breakfast and Lunch and eat chicken,wild salmon,grass fed beef farmed chicken eggs and grass fed cheese. I just do not feel the same cravings that I used to get with all of the processed junk.Looking forward to my next bloodwork in 6 weeks. Oh and I love your Euvexia Eulyte!You pretty much saved my life and I cannot thank you enough.

Enjoy the pace, and good animated speaker. Good dress and excellent use of the background and foreground display. Good concise and great content. Kudos on excellent example of teaching.

I just love the way you explained all of this. So calm and knowledgeable. I am going to do the 30 day challenge and journal my experience. A+

I LIVE this challenge every single day. I lost 130 lbs the first year and I feel so much better in too many ways to describe, I have what feels like limitless energy and my mental clarity is greatly improved. My diet consists of mainly meats and salmon, eggs, some cheeses and a few pecans. That's it, I don't need anything else. I was diabetic, my bloodwork was a wreck with triglycerides over 500 and my blood sugar was out of control, A1c was 8.8 and blood glucose was as high as 600 at one point, even with 100 units of insulin and 1,000 MG of Metformin a day it would not go below about 130. Now my A1c is 4.9, everything else is where it belongs.

If I had any signs of dementia I'd be on board, but I guess I can't assume everyone would be.

I was then able to try the intermittent fasting and it was so amazingly easy. I just didn't feel hungry at all. I lost 25 pounds in this time, which was a really pleasant surprise for me as I have struggled to loose weight. My skin got better and my pain was reduced.

Your blood sugar was 600?

Excellent video - that (finally) explains the different types of sugars, their impacts on health, their relationship to carbs and strategies for different body types. Thank you for making this simple and clear.

Gave up sugar about 3 months ago. It wasn't really all that difficult to give it up, I always was pretty health-conscious in my diet. I am a 76 year young woman.The first thing I noticed, within a week, was that my skin became smoother. I have a variety of bumps on my skin, and they are slowly melting away. I have had neuropathy in my feet for the past 5 years. That has improved a lot: no longer that feeling of ants crawling around under my skin. Especially noticeable at night. I also have fewer aches and pains in my joints. I lost a few pounds, but not as significantly as others are reporting. I have a lot more energy, and that feels great. I have been pre-diabetic for about 6 years. Next month I'm due for a blood test, and I'm optimistic that my a1C will be down. I really feel that I have turned over a new leaf in my life, and can't imagine that I will ever eat any other way.

When i was diagnosed with NIDDM my HbA1c was 6.9. I stopped using table sugar, and anything sweet. Then after 3 months my HbA1c was 5.5 then 5.1 after another 3 months. Now, im used to no sugar and I'm on intermittent fasting. Thank you, I learned a lot from this channel.

I went 90 days without sugar and it was the best time of my life. I guess because of convenience I started slowly adding it in... bad mistake. Gained 60 lbs back. I'm definitely a sugar addict. I've known for years. I've been insulin resistant for years. I'm ready to take this challenge seriously!

Bonjour Dr Ekber, Je suis vos vidéos depuis la France, je vous trouve remarquable dans vos conseils, bravo et merci de nous informer...! Cordialement Charly

10 days today feeling light body fresh mood I will come after 2 month to review you guys

I have been off almost all carbs over 2 years. Here's my observations: 1. Lost 6kg off a 64kg starting weight. I'm for the first time the same weight as I was when in college over 30 years ago. 2. I don't get hungry much. I eat 1 main meal and can eat nuts and drink vegetable juice for the other "meal". 3. When I do get hungry, it's a very slight feeling, like "hmm, l'd like some food" not "if I don't eat, I'll die!" 4. I have no food cravings. I enjoy my food, but I don't crave anything in particular, especially sweet foods. 5. Every bit of eczema I used to suffer badly from has cleared up. 6. Osteoarthritis that plagued my right shoulder so bad that I couldn't turn a steering wheel disappeared. Instead, I can now swim 40 laps in the pool. 7. I have not fallen sick in 2 years. I tested positive for Covid last Christmas, but had almost no symptoms except for a slight scratchy throat. I went cycling the day I tested (to my surprise) positive.

Wow Dr. Ekberg...is it a coincidence that you show this video after Thanksgiving? I'm going back to keto and intermittent fasting. I can't handle all the crazy eating forever. All I know is my body feels so much better on keto, and the weight comes off. Thank you for your teaching! Please keep the videos coming. So many people rely on them!

Had only a table spoon of pumpkin pie no crust and table spoon banana pudding over Thanksgiving. Getting back on keto today. You will be OK

I stopped as much sugar intake as possible for 2 months now and lost 19 lbs, in combination with trans fat. The taste of any sweet is too much for me now and I’m glad, you have done a lot for me , thanks !

I've done this "challenge".... IT WORKS AS TOLD...100%

I lost 90 lbs cutting sugar and carbs. Easiest weight I ever lost. No gym has been able to do this for me. Now I enjoy long walks with my wife. I was able to reverse type 2 diabetes, get off cholesterol meds and blood pressure meds. No more Cpap machine.

I’m so glad you posted this again Dr. Sten. I NEED this to boost my determination to cut out sugar. I’ve got to wait for family to leave and then get serious. I felt SO GOOD when I did keto for a year. I totally went off the wagon and fell back into old habits. Turning 65 this month and it’s time to change for my health’s sake.

Thank you for the encouragement everyone! I WILL DO IT!!

I enjoyed this video. Really helpful for everyone. Put more videos please. Thank you.👍🙏

Thank you Dr Ekberg, after watching your *stop sugar for 30 days challenge* video I have learned so very much from you I hope you don't mind me sharing my journey over the last few years, I'm hoping it might help at least one person or perhaps hundreds. Where to begin. Between 2010-2020 I was dx'd with HypErparathyroidism, Fibromyalgia, kidney stones, NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), Sacriolitis, Appendicitis, I had a couple of TIA's + more. In 2017 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes too. In 2020 I was rushed to hospital, apparently I looked like the Michelin Man. I just wanted to sleep, I wasn't really aware of what was happening, eventually I was told that I had developed Decompensated Cirrhosis, Acute kidney injury, Ascites, Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis, Anemia and Malnutrition, oops nearly forgot Hepatorenal Syndrome! They took 7.5 litres of fluid from my stomach, I was filled full of Antibiotics, human plasma and blood transfusions etc, I had been taken off all my usual medications (filled a whole A4 size ruled paper). The withdrawal from that was terrifying! Apparently, if I hadn't got to hospital the consultant said "you probably only had 2 days to live). WHY am I telling everyone this? It's because I wish someone would have told me to take the NAFLD very seriously, no one did! If someone had said that by reducing my sugar and fat intake it could help your liver enormously, perhaps even reverse the fatty liver. Only after a phone call with a consultant (Covid, so no hospital clinics running) did I find out that already having Fatty Liver and then being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes can accelerate the 4 stages of liver disease, in my case it was straight to Decompensated Cirrhosis. It can take up to 30yrs to go from Fatty Liver to End Stage Liver Disease, me, just yrs! If anyone reading this is diagnosed as having NAFLD PLEASE do all that you can to avoid the experience I had, 3 yrs on I am still in shock! I'm still coming to terms with it all, I swing from yes, today I am going to do all the right things to get better, other times it's what's the point... I just want to thank Dr Ekberg, I haven't processed the type 2 Diabetes yet but this is the first video I have watched which explains the relationship between the sugar I am addicted to and what this addiction has done to my organs - even my skin is involved. So sorry for the length of this post, I sincerely hope it can help someone, take care for now x

i have started watching your videos about 18 months ago…i call them “lectures” it’s really amazing how you can teach us about our health and food…you’re so charming…thank you for your efforts… i kept on healthy life style for about a year and i can’t describe how my life changed…i used to mention the three titles you’re speaking about in this videos “mood, focus and energy” unfortunately i couldn’t keep going due to some sad circumstances…i live in a war zone country and we suffer the lack of healthy nutrition…there only olive oil and eggs are available here beside some leafy greens like cabbage and lettuce so it’s difficult to keep going on just those four ingredients…

Your explaination is very loud and clear sir, i love it very well❤

I cut out sugar, got used to it in 3 days and now I don't want any sugar. My energy and morale are better. Thank you.

Amazing ❤❤❤. I started your challenge and I have to tell you that I was weighing 200 Lbs and now my weight is 158.2 Lbs. I am 63 years old and don't feel pain like I used to. BTW, everything hurts at 63. My eyesight is much, much better and now I need a new prescription 😂. My belly fat is GONE and I'm full of energy. I do have a problem, my family continues to eat sweets and I am tormented by this still. I do not use Metformin or blood pressure medications any more. Thank you for helping me with your advice.

I've sent this video to a few of my friends. If they would only listen... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. My vision improved after my first extended fast. I got into Keto because I experienced a hospitalized hypertensive crisis. Now, I take no meds whatsoever. Thank you! Keep spreading the word.

So weird that I thought because I work hard, I was physically fit, but now I realize at 64 that I can no longer eat what I want. I thought all the pain I was experiencing was just the result of age, but I changed up my diet and the knee pain, especially, is gone. My Achilles tendons are better and no more dizziness. People are in denial and/or think they can't change old habits. There's no question that I was going to change my habits because I got a little taste of the pain-free life after identifying the problem and dieting. I have experienced withdrawal, but kept telling myself that it's temporal.

I gave up all sugars, Alcohol, complex carbs, and anything processed 35 days ago and do an 18-6 fast. I was sick the first 5 days like opioid withdrawal but since feel great, have loads of energy, sleeping great, and have lost 17 pounds. Cheers

So informative (as always)! I wonder, for the fruits, what percentage of glucose and fructose they have?

My daughter is so pleased I’m staying healthy for her. Your messages, and channels like yours, help me on this path to avoid the dementia both parents suffered. 👍

I gave up refined sugar in April 2022. I never thought I'd lose the craving especially for chocolate but I have. There is always hope. Give it a go.

This was highly informative. Thanks for sharing this Doc.
