Swedish Physician Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt Treats Patients With A Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet

Jimmy Moore from http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog interviews Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, a medical doctor from Sweden who is treating patients with obesity, heart disease, and diabetes with a low-carb, high-fat diet (LCHF). He runs the #1 low-carb blog in the world at http://www.kostdoktorn.se and joined a group of American low-carbers on The 3rd Annual Low-Carb Cruise to the Bahamas in March 2010.

Dr. Eenfeldt talks about how he stumbled upon low-carb diets after reading the work of New York Times science writer Gary Taubes and then finding a physician in his home country of Sweden named Dr. Annika Dahlqvist who uses low-carb nutrition to help her patients. Today he is an avid supporter of the science behind carbohydrate-restriction and believes the "low-fat fad" is coming to an end. He shares encouraging words about the "paradigm shift" happening regarding fat and especially saturated fat and that people will soon realize it is the carbs they need to be most concerned about.

Don't miss Dr. Eenfeldt's new book on LCHF coming in the Fall 2010 and join us on the 2011 Low-Carb Cruise to meet him in person.

How about a mike on the speaker or using a compressor in your video editor.

@optahealth Thanks for the suggestions!

we need more doctors in the US like him, thanks so much for the interview, I look forward to learning more about Dr Eendeldt. I agree, "low fat "was the "fad" diet of the 70's . Now,30 years later,obesity became an epidemic in children along with diabetes and high cholesterol. Drs treat the patient's symptom with horrible drugs and a "low fat diet", and they never will be healthy on their own. Sugar gets a free pass, but fat remains the evil demon..so sad.

@Bonnie90505 Well said, Bonnie!

Dr. Eenfeldt was debating with another Swede about the low carb diet, his opponent held an opposite view, the debate was in Swedish. However eating low carb has allowed me to lose more weight than eating high carb and low fat. In fact, its nearly impossible to eat such a diet because most carbs in the Western diet are the refined bad kind.

This guy's got it 100 percent right. He got turned onto LCHF by the brilliant research of Gary Taubes, who is the best ever! I lost almost 20 lbs (wasn't fat to begin with, but middle age WAS doing a number on me!) in 4 mos. after reading Taubes. What the research says is, LDL cholesterol # is not meaningful. What IS meaningful is one's HDL and Triglyceride level. My HDL pre-LCHF? 52. After? 65 (higher HDL is good!) Triglycerides went from 105 to 54 (lower is better).

@PoshPatootie Sorry about the sound! I'll be doing a full-length interview on my Livin' La Vida Low-Carb podcast show later this year where you can hear from Dr. Eenfeldt. He's a soft-spoken man.
