What Happens When You Drink 100 Tablespoons of Olive Oil in 10 Days? Dr. Ekberg’s Bold Health Experiment

Why such a bold approach? Dr. Ekberg wanted to test whether eating lots of healthy fats—without processed carbs—would still affect his blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, and inflammation.

🩸 Blood Test Results: The Good, the Bad & the Surprising

After 10 days, Dr. Ekberg did a full blood panel to track what changed. The results were… mixed.

Here’s a breakdown:

✅ Stayed Stable:

  • Blood Glucose & HbA1c: Surprisingly steady, even with all that fat

  • Traditional Cholesterol Markers: LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol barely changed

⚠️ Increased:

  • Insulin & HOMA-IR: Suggesting a rise in insulin resistance

  • CRP (High-Sensitivity): An increase in inflammation
