I have been on One-Meal-A-Day intermittent fasting and Ketogenic lifestyle, and once every two weeks I fast for 48 hours. I never get hungry and I lost close to 100 pounds in 2 years, reversed my insulin resistance, hypertension, abdominal adipose, stage 3 kidney disease, full of energy and Metabolic syndrome completely. I followed Dr. Ekberg videos and recommendations daily. I thank Dr. Ekberg improving my health dramatically.

I have never heard anyone explain nutrition so well!! 👍from Australia!!

There is nothing on youtube i anticipate more than the weekly sten ekberg video.

I have 3 cups Italian roast coffee with heavy whipping cream each day. I also drink green tea and water for total of one gallon fluid per day. One pound beef (usually steak medium-rare) with few veggies and berries and occasional fruit. No grain based anything. I do consume anything fermented (not alcohol) such as kraut, pickles, olives, kimchi, yogurt, kefir all plain. No fish except occasional higher grade sardine and mackerel in olive oil, or chicken. I use USA and Italian olive oil !!! I'm basically bed-ridden but use electric chair. I can take a few steps and walk a few feet. I have medication induced COPD with 90% lung loss and several heart and immune system diseases and lymphedema under control due to diet. Before, weight was out of hand for years. I lost 40 lbs the first 6 months on diet. I'm not gaining weight now. I have no more pain or inflammation. Most lives I would not trade mine for! Thank God.

Ive made these mistakes. I weighed 243 now at 162 after years doing intermittent fasting and walking, push-ups and free weights. I feel too good to stop! Thanks for all the help along the way Dr.

I just realized that I’ve unknowingly been fasting for most of my life. I eat dinner around 4-5 pm and don’t eat until 10 or eleven the next day.

The other day I had a craving for some sugar. I've been doing IF for 2.5 years. Pretty consistently OMAD, every now and then I do 2 meals /day and try to keep them within a 6 hour period. So regularly 18 hour IF. I also monitor my blood sugar, I am NOT diabetic or have any health issues at all at 71. So as usual I had not eaten anything and it was like 2 pm, that's about the time I usually measure my blood sugar. Bought these delicious lemon flavored shortbread cookies and joined my son for coffee. My ( glucose) blood sugar is consistently about 83 mg/dl. Well after those cookies it went to 142 mg/dl. Yeah once in a blue moon something decadent is not going to harm you, but just imagine having that everyday. Dr. Ekberg, you keep me striving to get better every day. Thank You!!!

Beef, 20 blueberrys and 2 cups of broccoli. Eat until full. Once per day. I'm 57 but feel 20, last 6 years.

I do carnivore OMAD and am down 293 LBS in 1 year. Thank you. You have helped me along my journey

I go every 3/6 months to the doctor for a full check-up I eat 1 meal every 24 hours, I work as a cleaner and work broken shifts at different locations and always finish work at 6 pm so i used that to my advantage to keep fasting My longest fast was 168 hours, the lowest my insulin had ever been 3.1, and the highest ketose was 6.1 My flaw I eat too much even if healthy so now decided to eat really small meals I enjoy training in the morning on a fasted state Anything is possible just have faith and be consistent God Bless my brothers and sisters

Just because you fast, it doesn’t mean you can eat crappy food, esp those that have a high glycemic load or that significantly raise insulin levels

I absolutely love your videos. I’m 46 years old 6’1 and 35 days ago I was at 284lbs. Today I weighed 258lbs. The weighs just falling off me. Thats 26lbs lost in 35 days and I feel fantastic. All I did was start doing intermediate fasting, lowered my carb intake, and I do a mild workout with just dumbbells and body weight twice a week just to maintain my muscle mass. I have a 6 hour eating window each day and I don’t even get hungry before that window anymore as my body and brain has gotten used to it. On weekends I still maintain my fast/ eating window, but I allow myself more carbs since we usually eat out some on weekends so I do feel deprived. The weighs coming off so fast and my energy levels went from swinging up and down to now I just have steady energy all day. Fad diets are temporary and I’ve tried them all, but this is a way of life. I just had a full physical 3 days ago and my Dr was praising me because my normal high blood pressure that he wanted to put me on medication for is gone, my cholesterol is down to normal levels, now, and as I’ve already said, I went from feeling horrible with no energy for work or to play with my grandkids to feeling absolutely amazing all the time. So I’m not doing a diet. Matter of fact I feel like I can definitely do this the rest of my life without feeling like I’m missing out on the foods I love or eating out with my family and friends on the weekend. The only question is now is how long will it take me to hit my goal weight of 210. I’m betting I hit that goal before next year.

Discipline is the name of the game

So glad you mentioned exercise, it's the missing item in many people's health journey. Have a great weekend. 👍

The anaerobic exercising and stress from late work nights & poor sleep are 3 big things going against me. Had no idea until I watched your video. Thank you.

For 3 months i already loosed 18 kg . Thanks much

A lot of good information packed into a short video! Thanks. Overeating and many of the other things mentioned are quite common for people new to fasting. If not worked through, sadly people get frustrated/tired/hungry and quit. But the rewards once you are experienced are worth the initial struggle.

Thank you. Your number one fan from Kenya 🇰🇪

Great teacher so educational and easy to understand , clear and to the point.
