Almost incredible! I have barely heard about Dr Boz’s sardine fast and so was just now deciding to write my experience in the comments, when this video came up. See, I’m an American, who’s lived with my Norwegian wife, here in Norway for 40 years (!) and I think I’m very accurate when I say that I have eaten about 3-4 King Oscar sardines in extra virgin olive oil for an average of, say, 27 days a month all these years! I gave up other brands very quickly. Then here’s my “secret” for how I’ve loved them so much: I have a plastic storage box with cut up white onions handy and eat a few of these onion bits alongside the sardines and I simply love the flavor. (Take it from an “expert”!)

I have been eating King Oscar sardines since childhood. I have been working a few years at one of their many factories when they made them here in Norway. So did my mom a few year and my grandmother for most of her adult life, and they both got 95 and 97 years old before they passed away naturally. It is one of the cleanest fish you can eat today. No preservatives at all. Just pure wild caugth fish and virgin olive oil cooked in the tin can. If you have problems getting used to eating the Sardines(which is Atlantic Brisling named Sardines in the purpose of marketing), keep them in the fridge and eat them cold at once you take them out of the fridge. That reduce the smell some people don't like.

I started eating sardines from looking into keto, and I adore them. I like the cheap ones in water, and then I add them to curry sauce! Toss in some boiled veggies and pour the whole thing over rice! I also love how soft they are. I'm healing from full-mouth dental extractions (getting implants), and mashed sardines have saved my life.

I give Dr.Boz credit for getting me to finally try sardines. I hate that I have spent my entire life listening to other people say how gross they are. I love them and mackerel. I think they are milder in taste to tuna and I actually like them better than tuna. Thank you so much Dr. Boz!

[CitEnthusiast]

Had my daughter buy sardines when I started really getting into your advice. They sat there for a month before I decided it was time. not nearly as bad as I'd made it in my mind. Yes, a strong odor, don't take these to the office! LOL But they are super food, amazing how they work at reducing appetite while getting the ketones started. Thanks for this advice Dr. Boz!

hi Dr., BOZ, I'm kind of new watching your videos and I don't see you talking about fruit, it must be because fruits are sugar bombs, i checked my glucose after eating a mango and my sugar was way up there so we decided to stop eating fruits, we also decided to ditch the fruit basket, when we feel like eating fruit we just walk the super market and get an apple or a peach, but only one now i eat sardines like twice a week, i prepare like sardine tacos with onions and cilantro and jalapenos but i use romaine lettuce no tortillas, beef tacos on romaine are not bad either. I think its great that i found you videos, my ac1 went down to 5.7 from 7.6 since last September my doctor says might cut down on my medicine if it gets lower. I wanted to thank you for all the effort and all the work you do. stay well, stay safe, and be happy

Here in Finland, far away, we have a local fish called "muikku" in Finnish.
Sardines are probably okay, but it's worth looking into local opportunities to eat good quality fish.

[JeannieBauske]

You're so right. I just started with the King Oscar and so much tastier. Love you bunches.

[disqusrubbish]

Make sure the olive oil in the can is (1) actual olive oil, and (2) if it is, make sure it's not some low grade version of olive oil. Just get them packed in water and drain them well. Omega-3's galore.

A good way to eat sardines is as follows: Put the sardines in a bowl, squeeze in the juice of a lemon, add half an onion - finely chopped. Mash with a fork and consume.

I discovered King Oscar too. They are so much better because they are not strong! My favorite ingredient to add is Tajin Clasico. That bite of lime is a really nice note. I can not eat sardines any old time, to make the hunger go away and I have them on auto-delivery from Amazon! And my Vitamin D3 is way up!

Fresh caught sardines grilled with salt in Matosinhos, Portugal Is the true game changer! Later, take the tour at the Nuvi sardine plant...

[davidmusicmaker]

I love them! I eat either sardines, mackerel, or salmon about four times a week. Very satiating, especially with some steamed or boiled leafy greens on the side. A small serving of berries and a chunk of dark chocolate for dessert, and I'm good to go.

After 4 months of tracking my blood glucose with a Stello GCM I had plateaued with both reducing my BG and with weight loss. While my clothes were fitting better nothing else budged. And hitting the Dr. Boz ratio? Forget it. So I got fed up and decided to "go drastic" and do a three day sardine "fast". The results were very good. My BG came down, I lost 5 pounds, and I felt great. All I had were sardines with a little hot sauce, black coffee and tea, and water. What I noticed as well was some knee pain I'd been dealing with went away. I wouldn't want to do this every week, but I think I will do this once a month as a reset. I got my sardines at Costco, skinless and boneless in olive oil.

I absolutely love the tiny sardines that are available under several
different brands. They make for the perfect lunch and I could most
likely live on them for quite a number of days with no complaints.

I love the "Tiny Tots" brand. Yum, Yum, Yum...

[VoiceofApollos]

EXACTLY the brand I buy (especially the Mediterranean version).

[keithharrison]

Two things I find go well with Sardines, because many things don't, is Sea Salt and Apple Cider Vinegar. My routine is to add a couple of good pinches of Sea Salt, consume around half the tin and most of the salt, then add a lot of Apple Cider Vinegar, which finishes it off nicely. Almost two dishes in one in effect, and I look forward to it. I'm not a particular fan of anything that tastes too fish, but this works well and removes even the slightest hint of fish.

Hey, Doc. At 2:54, you misspelled LEAD. I think. Gotta research now.

Dr. Boz, I made sardine provolone ravioli. Found a recipe for sardine dip/spread with some cream cheese, based the stuffing on that. I thought it was great but the rest of the family didn't appreciate it!

[lynnferriman]

Lemon juice helps. I now love sardines..thanks doc
