Lose Belly Fat But Don't Believe These YouTube Lies

I'm 58, one year ago I went through a examination for problems with my memory. My family does a lot of dementia so I was afraid of that. Turns out that I had second degree atrophy of the brain due to three medicines that I was taking, one of them for 28 years, but no dementia. I remember having mixed emotions about that conversation. It took several months to stop with those medications, turns out that I'm the same mental mess without them, for good or bad. I stopped smoking in june, cold turkey after 20 years. From the beginning of july I changed my eating habits, no carbs, no sugar, LCHF and IF, OMAD. I began taking vitamin D because the doctor said I was low, but he didn't say that I needed to take other stuff for that to work properly, K, magnesium and zinc. I'm also taking cod liver oil. I've done three 7-day water fasts in those six months. I'm very introvert and used to not leave my apartment if I could avoid it, since august september I try to take a walk everyday, if only for fifteen minutes, anything is better than nothing. But for two months now the daily walk is roughly 90 minutes. For a month now I do 2x25 squats and 2x25 standing push-ups every day. This week I started taking a short walk after my meal and do some exercises with resistance band during the evening to break up the sitting. I can recommend Will Harlow's channel for such exercises. I've lost 20 kg (44 lbs) in 7,5 months, but more importantly I feel clear headed in a way that I had forgotten. I stopped taking statins, the follow up blood test was unfortunately not that great, but I rather have higher cholesterol than the side effects of the statin. Unfortunately the atrophy won't reverse so I'll have to be extra careful with whats left. There are so many people to watch on YT when it comes to health, I stick to Dr Sten Ekberg, a fellow Swede. English is not my first language, obviously, but I hope that I've managed to express myself so its understandable.

Who all love Dr Ekberg and his videos?

No quick fixes. Proper sleep. Control insulin. Control cortisol. Move a lot and do resistance training. Stay happy. Be positive.

FREE The fact that we get free medical videos on YouTube is truly a gift. Thank you Dr. Ekberg

80% of all YouTube videos are click bait videos with nothing valuable in them. Dr. Ekberg is NOT click bait 😊

Dr Sten is one of the best doctors on YouTube! He is clear and realistic. ❤

I was 330+ around 2012. was 205 by 2015. Divorce happened. Jailed all of 2016. Drinking... Was 330 again by 2018. Now Im sober 6yrs, 43 years old, 180-190 depending on my lifestyle, and no one who sees me now wouod ever believe I was 330+ a couple times. But I was. Now I am healthier than when I was in thr USMC infantry as a 19-23yr old....

I’m 50 years old, 182 cm tall. Over roughly 13 months I went from 112 kg to about 85 kg. This was not a quick reset or rapid weight loss. It was a gradual transformation in several phases. Sometimes the weight was dropping, sometimes it stagnated due to fatigue or adaptation, but laboratory markers and body measurements were consistently moving in the right direction. I gradually removed carbohydrates (started a carnivore-style diet), added strength training, frequent short fasts (intermittent fasting) and occasional longer fasts (roughly 33–72 h). The calorie deficit was not constant but cyclical, to avoid metabolic adaptation. Each phase had a different role and purpose. I wasn’t forcing results, but rather observing what my body was doing and working with it — and it worked. In the past I lost weight many times and always experienced the yo-yo effect. This time the process is slower, but stable and sustainable, likely also thanks to the carnivore approach, which works well for me (not dogmatic — I occasionally eat normal food). What makes this convincing for me is that it’s not just subjective: triglycerides/HDL ratio improved from ~0.86 to ~0.34, ApoB dropped from ~1.37 to ~1.03 g/L, CRP decreased from 7.2 to ~2.9 mg/L, HOMA-IR is 0.62 (excellent insulin sensitivity), testosterone increased from 8.7 to ~13.3 nmol/L, and visceral fat has been steadily declining. For me this confirms that it’s not about “burning belly fat”, but about long-term tuning of metabolism, insulin and hormonal balance. Interestingly, as body fat decreased, muscular imbalances became more apparent — the body changes in a complex, non-linear way. That surprised me and reinforced the idea that not pushing too hard and giving the body time is the right path. And this is not the end — I see it as an ongoing process, not a one-time fix.
