Hi Dr. Ekberg. Can you do a video(s)/series on high protein keto vs keto vs carb cycling and vs cyclical keto? I ask because I'm a young women with HS in my early 30s and hope to have my own family. I started keto to manage HS and hope to lose weight (mostly belly fat) and neither really happened drastically like others have raved about; I also fasted. I felt better, lots of hyperpigmentation lessened especially around my neck, my HS flares decreased but didn't stop and I lose a few inches off my belly. My biggest issue was stress (had it pre keto and trying to manage cortisol) sleep (already had insomnia but it worsened with keto), I think I lost hair but have thick curls so it's not as noticeable; I believe I lost some of my hips lol. But many women said that they weren't losing weight and had similar symptoms and switched to high protein keto and had success. Other women recommend carb cycling if you still have a period like me which I tried but I don't think my digestion likes; trying to figure out how to do it and not feel miserable. Then I also want to do more resistance training and heard about cyclical keto. I'm the midst of all of this I'm never quite sure if I should be limiting my calories or not. There are so many options. I'm new to training and just want a healthy body but want to keep diabetes at bay and HS. I loved keto for mental clarity and aside from the fake sweeteners for my coffee and gluten free keto bread, I ate real food and liked the concept. Any tips, thoughts based on fitness and health goals would be appreciated! P.S. I still have belly fat and less hips from my last attempt at keto. I recently got sick so I'm back on carbs BRAT food at the moment 😢.

@drekberg I was thinking of asking for a prescription of this drug because I’m feeling stuck and my bf is on these drugs and losing weight, but you’ve changed my mind…I can do this on my own and I see my bf on this drug and she’s been constipated for days, she hadn’t pooped for 7 days now and that scares me Thankyou very much

As somebody who has gone from 225 to 190 since April following only what i have learned watching this channel, I'm not impressed by 15 percent weight loss from Ozempic. My entire costs have been walking shoes, the time it takes to walk every day, and to buy better food. Zero loose skin, 2 blood pressure medications ditched, 5 lbs gain in muscle and bone mass, and A1c from 6.3 to 5.0 I cannot imagine spending $1000 per month to deal with Ozempic side effects instead of just buckling down and fixing the problem.

Good for you. You saw what you wanted and went for it. As someone who lost weight the same way, that is the best feeling in the world knowing you did it by yourself. Nobody can take that away from you.

I was on ozempic for type 2 diabetes but was also overweight. I was on it for 4 months and lost 10lbs and it lowered my A1c by 1 point. The reason I stopped taking it was because it was reducing my muscles and not my fat. I'm on carnivore diet now and weight training to build back up my muscles and I lost 50lbs, and lowered A1c to 5.5 since changing my diet. I'm a 63yr old widow.

Many people lose 40% of their muscle mass and it trashes their metabolism when they are no longer on this medication. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in July and reversed it in 3 months with carnivore. Still going strong after 4 months, great labs, great energy and down 40# at age 55.

It amazes me how many doctors don't want to fix the root cause of anything. I found a new physician after losing 60lbs of keto, reversing prediabetes and bringing my blood pressure down. My PCP demanded I stop doing keto, forbid me from stopping unneeded Statins and HBP meds. I found a new doctor by the end of that day, and I've been off all meds for 2 years. Thank you for keeping me motivated. There's always something new to learn!

There are some people who may need more than intermittent fasting and low carb. I was recently placed on a hormone treatment for unresectable neuroendocrine tumors/cancer and the drug inhibits the secretion of glucagon and insulin. Semaglutide stimulates the secretion of glucagon and insulin.

My doctor put me on it. It immediately lowered my blood pressure and my glucose numbers are consistently down around 100 to 120. I was always very active, had a very labor-intensive business, but had a car accident and am now in a wheelchair. I didn't even know it affected weight until I had been on it 3 months and stepped on the scales in the doctor's office and I lost almost 30 lbs!! Being on the drug has regulated my numbers. I no longer have pounding headaches or fear of sugar highs. I've never been a big sweets person. But I've been concerned about what the drug is doing. I've gone off the usual prescribed drugs like statins and blood pressure meds. Still want to wean off of it and am modifying my diet so I can get surgery for my injuries and get out of this chair.

Wow, congrats!! You did it the right way, the only way that has lasting effects.

I did both. I spent 3 months with 4 day IF and a Keto diet when I broke that fast and also took ozempic and did 10k daily walks. I basically halved my resting heart rate, blood pressure, visceral fat percentage and entered the range of pre-diabetic, basically solved a lot of health problems. I understand a sudden shift like that Is not sustainable but the point was to pull me back from an unhealthy edge. I think personally the benefit of ozempic is actually it _lets_ you tackle the other aspects of weight loss, habit forming etc without also having to think about curbing mal-adapted relationships to food and hunger. Like any tool it can be used well or lazily. I think the discussion of it as a dangerous shortcut are equally as overblown as the talk of it as a super drug. Like most things in life, channels like yours are the answer. Knowledge and preparedness. I did my research, I understood the problems and available solutions and tried things until something worked for me.

My wife was on it a couple of years ago and felt very weak and sick the whole time. I would definitely recommend against it.

You are absolutely right, doc and I read you loud and clear. We could take those weight loss medicines all we want, but if we're not working to change our lifestyles and the way we eat, Taking them is pointless. I am on a carnivore based diet Where my only car sources are fresh fruit and a little bit of veggies and that's that And I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. So it's really working for me. Not to mention, my appetite has decreased.

I have lost significant weight for the 1st time really in 15 years. I have lost 100lbs using a glp1 called mounjaro. Prior to taking it i had done LCHF with fasting for 7 months and lost 10lbs and gained back 18lbs. No matter what i did it didnt work. I am still doing LCHF and fasting but adding in the glp1 and everything changed for me. I have multiple chronic issues from t2d, pcos, failed back surgery, fibromyalagia, ect. I agree that to many people take this and dont put in the work. But do be aware there are some people like me who do everything right and completely change their lifestyle and do not get results from that alone. I went from a 12 a1c to a 6 in a year and a half thanks to lifestyle and this medication. I really do believe if people are educated and this medication is only given to people who actually need it then it will be a huge benefit, but there has to be that accountability from the drs as well that they make sure the people taking it are changing lifestyle not just taking this drug as a fad like Hollywood is doing now.

Also the half life makes sense then why you take this 1 time a week.

It has allowed me to totally change my diet. No more carb cravings. I can walk away from sugar. Now I eat no processed foods. People think it's a miracle drug but it's not. You still have to do the work and change your eating patterns. If you don't get your head right and deal with comfort eating Ozempic won't be as helpful as you think. Especially at the lower dose. I stay at 1.0 to get eating right until it becomes a habit. Approved for 3 years. Hoping to just need it for two. Exercise and exercise should reduce the diabetis. So far so good. 8.7 a1c down to 6.2.

Thanks for all your help, Dr. Ekberg. I am a type 2 diabetic and started following your advice regarding increasing my insulin sensitivity, by lowering sugar/ carb intake as well as intermittent fasting. I also increased my daily activity and exercise routine. I am a 6'1" male and since the beginning of February 2023, I went from 225 lbs down to 193. Ive lost 32 lbs. and it seems like I barely had to try. Your advice, as well as a continual glucose monitor, has changed my life and outlook. I trust your nutritional and diabetic advice over my own physician's, who has done nothing but mislead me when it comes to reversing my diabetes. The medical industry obviously wants to keep us sick.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in March of 2023. My A1C was 12.3 and my blood glucose was 180. I had gestational diabetes so i kind of felt like my blood sugar was an issue. I started Ozempic in April 2023. My A1C went down to 6 in 5 months! My blood glucose has steadily been in the 100s to 120s. My cholesterol has been great! I lost 22 lbs in 6 months. I am physically active. I do cardio and lift weights. I had some nausea, diarrhea, bloating and gas the first 3 months. But since my A1C was so high, my endo and PCP recommended i take Metformin and Ozempic. Metformin gave me stomach cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea. My endo took me off of Metformin and i rarely have stomach issues. Heres the issue, i have now been on Ozempic for one year. My A1C is 6, my blood glucose is good, cholesterol is good. However, the Ozempic is no longer curbing my appetite, curbing my cravings and making me feel full. As far as the side effects.. . Every pill you take has a side effect. Antobiotics give me stomach isues. Anti anxiety meds can cause suicidal thoughts. Statins can cause severe joint pain. Nexium can cause bone loss. So if we are going to talk side effects, remember all meds have side effects. Lastly, the ole "you dont need drugs, just a lifestyle change" argument is SO B.S. I am very fit. I exercise at least 5 to 6 days a week. I lift weights 3 times a week. I battle craving bad carbs. I am post menopausal so i have low energy, problems sleeping, very hungry some days then not hungry others. I eat half of my plate of veggies, lean proteins, and fiber rich foods. It's not that easy! Funny thing is, when i was a child and a teen, i was bony and thin. We walked everywhere. We roller skated 3 times a week, we swam almost every day if not storming. I ate whatever i wanted and barely weighed 100 lbs. Some kids spread rumors that i had an eating disorder. I was teased and picked on. I was told i look like a child in Africa. Now, i am about 15 lbs overweight and people tell me I'm fat. Society puts an emphasis on what womens bodies should look like. And i am NOT having lipo or fat removal or tummytuck, etc. SMDH!

I follow many channels similar to this one. I have to say that Dr. Ekberg has helped me the most. I think he is the best in this field.

Thanks for that dr. Sten. Been dealing with family members who won't listen and now I can explain it better!

I realized how incredibly intelligent the human body is when I started eating low carb whole foods. It changed me and my life in the most amazing way🙂

I started mounjaro (tirzepetide) in January and also started carnivore at the same time. The medication is a godsend, I just worry about long term affects. Since January I have had the following results: Weight: was 380, now 315 A1C: was 9, now 5.8 It definitely changes your relationship with food, bringing on apathy as far as the desire to eat. It also kills cravings for many other things besides food…I no longer drink diet soda or coffee… I just no longer want it. I feel so much better, and so many other bad effects of my diabetes is fading away. I am moving more, and have hope again. Hard to say if it’s the med, carnivore or both. However if the changes you make while taking it are not something you plan to keep in place, you cannot expect to keep the results. For me it’s also about no longer eating processed foods of any kind as well. It’s about weight, but more so about health

If you've watched many of the videos made by Dr Ekberg and read the comments there are thousands of people telling their story of how they had similar results as you describe due to changing to keto or carnivore diet. Many were date prior to the release of these new drugs or didn't mention them so it seemed like they achieved their results primarily due to cutting carbs.

And on low carb too. I am down 80 pounds from 270 to 190 by walking 3 miles daily and eating less than 100g carbs daily. I do take Berberine, but not a clue if that does anything, but its cheap. @@wocket42

Being on the med makes doing carnivore or keto bearable, I was never able to stick with it without ozempic. It really is a miracle drug, it's so annoying to see all these comments from ignorant people about how they did it all without help😅😅😅

I was on Ozempic for several months. After a couple of months, I became nauseous continuously. I am now off Ozempic and no more nauseous feeling.

Comments that I see from all of Dr. Ekberg's videos are usually from older generations and I'm glad that at the age of 25, I'm capable of understanding, following his instructions, and living a healthy lifestyle before everything is too late. My dad (64, probably healthier than me😅) and I appreciate your dedication, Doctor. We talk about you and your helpful tips all the time. God bless you.

I am so glad to see this video!! I have been taking one of these injections called Victoza for 3 months. Lost 5 pounds but I'm also eating nutrient dense food and low carb (under 30 net carbs) and some intermittent fasting. I have only been taking 60% of the prescribed dosage because it causes extreme constipation. I made some kimchi and I am eating it everyday which IS helping a lot.

Great video, there’s no substitute for healthy lifestyle. I’ve went from obese to a healthy BMI. Thank you👍

I definitely appreciate your approach. More people need to listen and do what you say

Dr. Ekberg,I just wanted to say that I really respect your honesty and integrity. ❤

You are most definitely my number one Health Hero Dr. Ekberg.

THANK YOU , DOCTOR! I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED TAKING AN OZEMPIC ! I THINK, I CAN WORK ON MYSELF TO LOOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT A MEDICINE !

I was on Mounjaro for 5 months. I was sick for five months. Nothing tasted good. I lost a little weight, but I lost a lot of muscle mass. I also had a horrible time with constipation. It has taken me two weeks to get back to normal. Interestingly, it took four days in the bathroom before I got rid of all my “waste” while I was on this drug.

Thank you Dr. Ekberg, you simply explain things and tell it like it is. I appreciate you so much!!

I've been following your channel for a few months now and I'm making positive progress. It appears to me that the best way to lower blood sugar is to stop consuming sugar, so simple.

Thank you Dr Ekberg! After discovering you, you have educated me so much over the last couple of months, I cannot praise you enough! Im telling everyone I know to look you up and get educated and get their health back or on track! Not only have I lost weight I feel healthy, happy and confident and dont worry about health because you have taught me how to nourish and look after my health and nutritional needs ... Huge gratitude Respect and Admiration to you Dr Sten 👍🏻 ❤️🇬🇧💯

You're the blessing, dr Ekberg. I have no problem whatsoever, but I learn a lot from you! Thank you very much. Greetings from south of France.

I am overweight and have been considering this option. Did my research and know the basics of how the medicine works but I wanted to try low carb and fasting before throwing in the towel. I just started and i'm hoping for the best. Dr Ekberg: Tack för intressant innehåll. Din kanal är en guldgruva!

I can relate to being so desperate because nothing works, every diet bounces back and you get blamed for lack of willpower. So I definitely am not going to judge those who feel the need to resort to such drugs. Luckily, I've discovered IF+LC, and now I know how to keep the weight I want, with excellent fitness levels too. And I have to thank dr. Ekberg (among others) for having taught me this way of life. It was like being in a cage, with plenty of "doctors" telling me to search for a door on one end, while the exit was exactly on the opposite side.

I really appreciate this information. I have been taking ozempic since January and it has been life changing for my diabetes. The fear of losing control and eating too much food is gone. It has silenced the eternal clamor in my brain for food. I can only eat real food. I love vegetables and fruit more than I ever have. My body is responding to food the way it is supposed to. And yes I am using a drug to get there but I really think something was broken in my body. My diabetes got so out of control and nothing was working that used to work for me. My stomach seems to be making plenty of acid as it burns and I feel nauseous when I get hungry.

Well spoken, Sten. Thank you

Thank you for your clear, balanced, and detailed videos; in a sea of conflicting information, it is so helpful to find good teachers and credible advisors. I took Ozempic but supplemented it with intermittent fasting and a "ketovore" diet; incredibly, I dropped from 240 lbs to 190 in 8 weeks, and my a1c dropped from 12.0 to 6.9. I was fearful of dependency on Ozempic, so I went off it just before the holidays, and sadly, I also fell off the wagon with my diet, so I returned to 220 lbs over December and January. I watched your video because I was tempted to resume the Ozempic; however, I do believe that most of my weight loss was due to my dietary improvements, not the medication. Therefore, I have resumed my ketovore diet and already started losing weight again, and for the first time, I am adding exercise to my regimen by shooting for 10,000 - 15,000 steps/day with a weighted vest. Without Ozempic, my weight loss may be slower, but I hope to avoid side effects and adopt healthy habits that will produce lasting results.

Strange how when I opened this video, before Sten said anything, I was subjected to an advertisement for this very drug - amazing! By the way Sten I love your videos. They are very informative.

How long before the commercials start with "If you took the weight loss drug blah blah blah and experienced the serious problems of whatever, then contact the Law offices of "Insert name here"?

One of your best videos ever! Appreciate your honesty !!!

The side effects of Ozempic ie the slow digestion is similar to the side effects of GERD without the weight loss which I developed after a family bereavement.I find your advice invaluable,i now do intermittent fasting,eat grass fed meat, raw milk , raw cheese , grass fed butter,no seed oils and I add spices to all my food, my friend who is a type 2 diabetic and loves her pure orange juice and cold breakfast cereal everyday things I’m crazy

NP here. There were other recent concerns that were identified by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Their data shows that GLP-1 agonists, like Ozempic, can lead to delayed gastric emptying, increased risks for regurgitation and higher episodes of pulmonary aspiration, which can be fatal. For these reasons, it is recommended that people getting elective surgeries (not emergency surgeries) talk with their providers about stopping their GLP-1 agonists prior to undergoing these elective surgeries. Great video as usual 😃!

This is so interesting. Thank you for making it and all your presentations clear and easy to understand, Dr. Ekberg. I’m amazed at the food choices people make. Cars line up at coffee houses and wait 30 minutes to order a 600 calorie “coffee” that’s really a milkshake with alittle bit of coffee. I haven’t always made the best choices but I’m doing a lot better! You are a real blessing to many. I have learned a great deal from you. I’m inspired to live better and share your information!

Great video ! I am coaching people to loose weight (without med) and few of them asked me about it. I live in Israel and since 2 years this med has a huge success. I know few people who took it and got back the weight after 3 months when they stopped. So they started to take it again… then their body rejected it completely. It made them so sick that they could not take it anymore. Thank you very much for your explanations about the mechanisms. Now I will have a scientific base to tell my customers why I never used it in my program. It’s one thing to be logical and faithful to good ethic but it’s even better when you can have science to back you up! Very useful video. I am taking the opportunity to thank you for transferring me passion of how works our body and metabolism. And It also saved me ! You gave me knowledge to create my own program to loose weight and to get back my ability of short term memory which became very blair and I felt I was starting to really decline. I went from starting to forget to turn off the light of the bathroom from time to time, to never turn it off anymore, ever ! Now my short term memory is back to normal, specially after one fasting of 6 days which I did with slow long cooked fresh curcuma in water with black pepper, English pepper and ginger and a bit pink salt. I drank it warm during 6 days. It was the 3rd time I did fasting but this one made all the difference : the first day when we start to eat again, instead of eating vegetables like it’s recommended, I was craving for meat! So the first 2 days I eat good tasty assado and entrecote (grass eaters from Argentina) full of good tasty fat, and I really felt a huge boost if my short term memory, since then I am turning off all lights! And I felt rebuilt ! I am sure that according to what is our goal we are trying to achieve through fasting, we can adjust the first food we eat when we break the fast. I am also a health journalist for a French magazine, so It also improved my concentration back to normal. I was having hard time to write 3 lines… and now, I can write for 1 hour very easy, it all come to my mind the way it should be written. The meat made an enormous difference. The 2 other same fasting I did before, I broke it with vegetables the first day, a bit fruits the second day… like it is usually recommended but it was no improvement on my brain. If you would like to explore this way, please contact me. English is not my mother tongue, so I apologise by advance for any mistakes.

Having a correct life style is much healthier than getting the correct medicine…thank you Doctor for sharing your knowledge.! ❤

Jeez. Nice annuity, pharma. I can personally attest that improving the quality of food reduces cravings. I have followed your advice, skip breakfast each day (my version of IF) and have dropped 10% of my body weight and feel better than ever. I eat less, have dropped almost all of my medications and those issues with pain, autoimmune, brain fog, etc are so much better. I also get sick less frequently. I just got off of a cruise and have been so happy that some of my metabolic flexibility has returned. I skipped breakfast on the cruise but then ate to satiety. Other than some headaches I didn’t have ill effects or gain weight. I am back on your plan now than I am home and will continue to make progress as next I will start to work on your body course. Thank you for breaking this down!

Thanks Dr. , you are 200% right.

Amazingly explained, thank you.

I love the med! I lost 30 with low carb changed my lifestyle and I know that could lose the next 40 lbs on my own, but I still decided to do this med after so much success on my own. no side effects. Regarding rebound it’s statistically the same as rebound as diet.. which is exactly why if you do the med, you have to REALLY change your relationship with food, just like diet becomes your way of life.

Excellent video. Thank you!
