Dr Fung has changed my life and my family too!! My General Surgeon, Dr. Stephen Hopkins and my R N daughter in Sonora, Ca have used Dr Fung’s intermittent fasting for years & tell their patients about this. Steve has worked at the wound care center dealing with many diabetics and advised patients to follow Dr. Fung’s program. Dr Fung deserves many awards for what he has done in medicine for all people. I pray God will bless him & his family. He has improved my life and saved me from serious depression and stroke.
After reading Dr. Fung’s “The Obesity code” mainly motivated by losing my father because of diabetes complications (including Alzheimer) I started a 16/8 eating schedule and keto diet, 3 months after I’m 15kg down and feeling awesome, still 10kg to loose but the path is now clear to me, please listen to this guy, he knows a few things about metabolism! Cheers from Uruguay!
@@Di_Pola i echo that. Please listen to this guy. Also listen to Dr. Lustig. Dr. Fung will tell you fructose is bad, and Dr. Lustig will tell you exactly *how* bad....
I am keto and have listened to Dr Fung and your channel alot. I finally understand the calorie in and calorie out. It’s about insulin. I mean I have heard it but couldn’t quite grasp it since I am not really trying to lose weight. It finally clicked. Thanks guys. Awesome work you both do.
I went from 90 kg down to 73kg and then put some on for a while no rush down to get down to 70kg... But it was a big surprise how easy it is to put weight back on
“Brilliant Man”, I love listening to his common sense !!! Dr. Fung and Ben Bikman are TWO people who speak logically about what is really going on in our bodies🎉 Thank Dr.Jason Fung❤
Dr. Makes this all so doable. He isn’t dogmatic and is able to be where people with metabolic issues are. He gives reasonable alternatives. I am not diabetic and don’t ever want to be, but my family is, and I am implementing Dr. Fung and your advice not to ever be. The point is he makes is so doable. I am slowly getting my older sister (who is diabetic now) on board. She has started listening to you guys. I am so excited, because she told me last night…”yeah, this isn’t too scary”. Makin progress guys 🥰…and she has me to cheer her on. I steered her to you and now you guys can do the teaching. Can’t tell you how relieved I am that she is starting to listen. I know,she can do it.
He help me a lot regarding fasting… I was able to avoid taking any prescriptions for diabetes. Instead I intermittent fasting, fasting , educate on diet , side effects of prescriptions on diabetes. When I lose 15 lbs from intermittent fasting, i started to get my menstrual cycle every month than being very irregular…
Wow, well done! I would have wished for more details on dieting during cancer treatment, but I really liked the questions you asked and the space you gave him. Thanks and kind regards from Vienna/Austria!
@@garyglynn9945 it's not a loss of will power. Your body is trying to get enough nutrition from the nutrient deficient diet. It's not loss of will power it is a sad, never ending display of your body trying to demand nutrition and being provided crap.
It has! It has to do with the food industry making the bad stuff highly palatable and people keep eating even after their body is telling them they’re full.
Type 2 Diabetes. In Italy, almost 4 million people suffer from it, with a progressively increasing trend. It affects 21% of people over 75. The prevalence increases with age (it is 2% in people under 50 and almost 9% among those aged 50-69). It is more frequent among men than among women (5.1% vs 4.2%) and in the socio-economically disadvantaged population groups due to education or economic conditions. Less than one patient in three has had their glycated hemoglobin checked. Italians affected by type 2 diabetes are about 6% of the population, that is, almost 4 million people. It is estimated, however, that to this number could be added about 1.5 million people affected by the disease not yet diagnosed.
Lumen has really bad reviews. I wish. Dr. Jason haven't advice something which has highly bad customer reviews due to return policies and sending defect products without accepting free return shipping...
@@pericasutic8238 Yes he was..in a loose sense though. He qualified as a Dr of Medicine after five years of Uni..however..he never went on to practice. He went into Medical journalism.
Question. If I still have joint pain and need to dull it temporarily, what type of OTC pain reliever is acceptable or what is the best alternative. Are opioids like codeine worse than taking aspirin or Tylenol?
I have to take Ozempic to lower my blood sugar as a diabetic type 2, but I'm planning to get off it ASAP. Thank God in Italy as a diabetic, one can get it for free, via national healthcare service.
@@JanetSmith900 I'm a taxpayer. But I get free diabetes medications and urine and blood tests and some exams. On the rest of tests and exams I pay a small fee, like everybody else. It's not like the US thank God.
Sorry, i live in Italy, sadly Italy is following in US footsteps. Living longer not being healthy is not a success. Most of our elderly, and middle aged lately too, take a lot of medications to keep them alive.
Love this video and Dr. Jason Fung is amazing, but holy shit I got so much anxiety hearing all of those (I think Outlook?) work pings while I'm sitting at my desk lol
Weight lifting helps a great deal. You don't have to lift big weights. You could try a pyramid circuit like 5lb for 12 reps, 8 lbs. for 8 reps and 10 lbs. for 5 reps. for example. Do that 3 times for your arms and shoulders, etc. Check out the "Fat Burning Workout" by Joyce Vedral.
I have history of asthma and sinus in past when i was young......from last 20 years i am not facing any such problems. But last year i start intermittent fasting and i feel than when i fast it triggers my past health problems. I was in doubt but after so many times now i am sure that it only happens on my fasting days. Please clear my doubts. Is there any solution or precautions about that
I prefer to IF and just eat clean. I usually only eat chicken breast (once in a whole fish) not much beef because for some reason if I have beef I won’t lose any weight. Once I go back to only chicken, I can lose weight.
Simply said, no starch and no sugar as they require insulin to metabolize. Fast 18 hours per day and eat in a 6 hour window as the fasting period requires no insulin. For weight loss, advance to eating only dinner 3 days a week, so fast 22 hours a day and eat 2 hours. If you want more weight loss, fast 3 full days a week. Most important: Trust the process. God bless.
I very much buy into most of the things you say and have had good weight loss results from fasting. The thing I don't understand is your claim about people not losing muscle tissue when fasting. People pretty much seem to lose muscle tissue whenever they eat hypocalorically, no matter what the method. Numerous studies have shown this, and the experience with the "biggest loser" showed exactly this: People lost a lot of muscle tissue starving although they were very obese. In the end, their metabolism had slowed down significantly. Can you give me a hint how you reconciliate your theory with these findings?
You said that sympathetic tone brings to weight loss. If this is true, how come the cortisol that is being released as a sympathetic response, brings to insulin elevation and weight gain?
Should you brisk walk after a meal or before? I have started eating mostly meat two meals mostly bacon eggs and red meat. Finding my portions are not big. But I would be 20 and 4 hour window maybe 5.. So wondering if walking after food makes your body use up more energy rather than beforehand.
I have read that there is a bigger metabolism boost from exercise following a meal, than before the meal. It was in a metabolism diet book that promoted walking or some other exercise for a short time (10-15 minutes) after 2 or 3 meals in the day, rather than exercising for longer, only once a day, in order to get a higher metabolic benefit.
@@Katz1950 yes, what's so funny? I don't need luck, after losing over 40 kgs, diabetes medications along the way and clearing fatty liver and pancreas, I'd be an idiot or suicidal to go back eating that stuff.
@@Katz1950I used to laugh at the idea of carnivore too - then actually started looking into it.. then implemented it. You wouldn’t believe the massive beneficial changes it’s had on my entire body and even my mental health. It seems “impossible” and “silly” when you first hear about it.. like the dumbest thing ever. But once you learn the true benefits it becomes very difficult to deny that it’s actually one of the healthiest ways most humans could ever eat.
Well look at it this way, if you fasted and want to eat a good amt, do omad next day, one really good meal. Maybe 800 calories, you're still in a deficit.
I have been doing 18/6 for over a year since I first encountered Dr Fung. My BMR is ~1800 kcal and my exercise is about 600kcal so that is 2400kcal I need to eat. I am a keto lacto-ovo-vegetarian. Do you have any idea how much you have to eat in 6 hours when you get the majority of you calories from MUFAs? I basically gorge for my first meal (I am sort of 1.5 MAD) and then have a smaller second meal in the last 2 hours. I consciously pig out just to get my 2400 kcal. I have been stable at a BMI of 17.8 for 8 months. I should explain that I eat considerably more carbs than the average ketogenic diet would (2× more) but because of IF and metabolic flexibility I am in ketosis again about 4 hours after my eating period ends. I spend 12 hours/day burning ketones. This higher carb budget allows me to eat an apple a day as well as berries and (not every day) bananas (all organic of course)
I've been OMAD mostly ketovore for 3 yrs. Me dr hungry anymore, lost 80 lbs, reversed t2d and feel great . BUT ...still have 50 lbs to lose and have stalled for over a year 😞. Tried adding meal, i cteasing fat, decreasimg fat, potein sparing,....all of it. Nothing is working.
@@Carnivore1959 try 18/6 keto lacto-ovo-vegetarian. 4 eggs 1 avocado 100g of nuts Bok choy/asparagus/broccoli/zucchini/brussels sprouts 1 apple Handful of blueberries 8floz of plain kefir 3 cups of coffee 20g of 100% chocolate 8 floz of homemade (must be homemade) tart Kombucha 1 large salad + nutritional yeast That's my diet. No limit on how much weight I can lose, I am sitting here at a 17.8BMI and don't want to go below that because that is actually already a hair below the normal range (i am 60 yrs and weigh 3lbs more than when I was 20) I supplement with 500 IU vit D 100ug k2, glynac (1500mg nac/1500mg glycine), l-argenine, zinc, algae based DHA and EPA and liposomal sulforaphane.
I was stalled for a year and what helped me was to add a 48 hr fast every week (I like to go from noon Sunday to noon Tuesday). And I'm consistent with 10K steps a day
So insulin inhibits lipolysis and we are unable to retrieve the stored “calories” in the liver….what if I am on high dose of insulin (long acting) due to t2dm which I usually jabbed at dinner , results in the insulin level remains high in my body for the whole night until next morning, will fasting be pointless for me since my insulin level is always high? Please kindly give me an idea😢
I really think Dr Fung is great and he has helped so many people! I just wish that he would stop repeating how stupid he thinks other people are. It becomes hard to listen to.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for 4 years. I’ve lost 5 pounds of muscle and developed osteoporosis. I am now skinny-fat. Perhaps IF is not appropriate for post menopausal women.
By “intermittent fasting” I’m assuming you mean 2-3 unhealthy meals without any real exercise? So you’re experiencing what any normie experiences eating a poor diet with a lack of exercise. Or you didn’t actually do IF at all and are just saying that you did for some strange reason.
Fasting 18-20 hours with 2 meals a day is better than multi day fasting, no need for a 24 hr fast. Just stop overeating, be consistent in getting adequate nutrition every day.
Listen - I was truly into IF. I found this guy called Cole who recommended extended fasting and drinking only “snake juice” or salt water. I fasted for 2-3-4 days at a time. I thought I lost so much weight. I compared my stats. I went from 24% body fat to 39% body fat. I lost so much muscle. I regained the fat and not the muscle. Don’t listen to these idiots.
@@umashitole1787 not at all. I don't count calories when I eat. I just eat until I am stuffed every day. I know I am absorbing 2400 calories because I know how many I am burning and that my weight is staying stable. I do not count how many calories I eat.
@@DebbieTDP of course, but you're changing the *type* of food to include a massive quantity of carbohydrates and also fructose (in the sauce). Intermittent fasting has as a pre requisite, that one is not consuming poison. That should go without saying. In the absence of consuming poison, you can eat as much food (food not poison) during the eating window as you feel like, because your leptin will be working fine (since you haven't consumed posion to disable it) and you will feel full precisely when you have consumed the bodies caloric deficit. The entire point is that once you stop poisoning yourself, the body regulates consumption consistent with caloric demand and you will not need to count calories. This is the state I am in and I just eat until I am full and I never put on a single pound. When not poisoned the body regulates calories, no counting needed.
@@homomorphic Thank you for letting me know what I know since many years. I don't eat poison since 2019. And fasting 😅 You probably didn't understand my reply.
Call me cynical but I think these studies carried out by academics are deliberately misleading. Who is the main financial contributors to all these ‘studies, with the most to lose if we all eat proper food and become healthy? Surprise, surprise, big agriculture and big pharma.
@@kathykay6602 I think what you mean is that high insulin levels are the devil. I agree. As others alluded to, however, insulin is a vitaly important hormone. High insulin levels are the devil, not insulin itself. If you had no insulin you'd be a type 1 diabetic and would need to inject insulin to stay alive.
He does not recommend prolonged fasting. He recommends a 72- 96 hour fast as a limit. This range is a limit commonly referenced by others. Prolonged fasting like the magician in a clear cube for 40 days is not recommended.
@@desmomotodesmomoto2033 This is BS! If you have ever had cancer (I have, fasted 18 days prior to my surgery to reduce the tumor size for best shot at debulking) and had to use Dr. Seyfrieds cancer fasting proticol, you would know forst hand what you said is rubbish! Tanking adrenals takes cronic (months/years of repetitive body abuse) of more then just fasting. So many other factors here from high sugar, high cortisol, no sleep etc...Don't blame fasting for what other behaviors are doing!

8 floz of homemade (must be homemade) tart Kombucha
1 large salad + nutritional yeast
That's my diet. No limit on how much weight I can lose, I am sitting here at a 17.8BMI and don't want to go below that because that is actually already a hair below the normal range (i am 60 yrs and weigh 3lbs more than when I was 20)
I supplement with 500 IU vit D 100ug k2, glynac (1500mg nac/1500mg glycine), l-argenine, zinc, algae based DHA and EPA and liposomal sulforaphane.
Fasting?
@@jodyjackson5475 if he's omad he's fasting 🤷🏻♀️🫣
I was stalled for a year and what helped me was to add a 48 hr fast every week (I like to go from noon Sunday to noon Tuesday). And I'm consistent with 10K steps a day
@@nataliajimenez1870 ty....i will try that!
"You don't have to be in ketosis to lose weight", WHAT? I'm super confused, that is the ENTIRE goal of the ketogenic diet, is it not?
What’s the call device about body fat
What to do you gain weight back
So insulin inhibits lipolysis and we are unable to retrieve the stored “calories” in the liver….what if I am on high dose of insulin (long acting) due to t2dm which I usually jabbed at dinner , results in the insulin level remains high in my body for the whole night until next morning, will fasting be pointless for me since my insulin level is always high? Please kindly give me an idea😢
By t2dm do you mean type 2 diabetes? They are giving you insulin for type 2 diabetes? Fire your doctor.
i lost fat weight from feeding & working my muscle not starving it to lose fat
I've lost 74kg from 150kg, built muscle, no longer use wheelchair, all thanks to fasting. Starving isn't the same as fasting bud.
I really think Dr Fung is great and he has helped so many people! I just wish that he would stop repeating how stupid he thinks other people are. It becomes hard to listen to.
I’ve been intermittent fasting for 4 years. I’ve lost 5 pounds of muscle and developed osteoporosis. I am now skinny-fat. Perhaps IF is not appropriate for post menopausal women.
Doubtful. Probably what you ate or didn't eat during those 4 years. Probably didn't lift heavy weights either.
Fasting must be done with feasting. Eat 3,000 calories from fat & protein on your non fasting days.
Women tend to eat 800-1200 calories.
By “intermittent fasting” I’m assuming you mean 2-3 unhealthy meals without any real exercise? So you’re experiencing what any normie experiences eating a poor diet with a lack of exercise. Or you didn’t actually do IF at all and are just saying that you did for some strange reason.
Check out Dr. Mindy Pelz who teaches woman who have a cycle and who is going through Menopause how to fast. Definitely worth it!
Women have to fast differently. Dr Mindy Pelz is a good person to check out for this.
Why is this host wearing those sunglasses indoors?
They are not sunglasses. They are blue light blocking glasses
2000 calories of what?
Twinkies
No starches and no sugar.
@@averyintelligence 😂😂
Fasting 18-20 hours with 2 meals a day is better than multi day fasting, no need for a 24 hr fast. Just stop overeating, be consistent in getting adequate nutrition every day.
You don’t get the benefits of HGH, BDNF and deep autophagy unless you fast for at least 24 hours
Are you 'clicking' somthing in the video? I keep hearing a clicking noise.
I hear it too
Is it true that is easier for the body to burn muscle as it only takes 30 min instead of taking energy from fat which takes around 5 hrs?
😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Listen - I was truly into IF. I found this guy called Cole who recommended extended fasting and drinking only “snake juice” or salt water. I fasted for 2-3-4 days at a time. I thought I lost so much weight. I compared my stats. I went from 24% body fat to 39% body fat. I lost so much muscle. I regained the fat and not the muscle. Don’t listen to these idiots.
That cannot be true. You don't start losing muscle maybe two weeks into it.
@@yvesouza514 I have no reason to lie about it. I fasted off and on for a long time. Muscle loss and poor body composition can happen with fasting.
25mins in the thirty day protocol - sorry not to be precise. xx
GLP-1 antagonist? Cmon man.😆
What about those who has bypass and can not eat only 1 meal ? Solutions ?
Focus on protein, less carbs or no carbs if you can. When you don’t eat carbs you don’t spike your insulin so is like fasting but still eating.
Carnivore
Is it not just like calorie counting
@@umashitole1787 not at all. I don't count calories when I eat. I just eat until I am stuffed every day. I know I am absorbing 2400 calories because I know how many I am burning and that my weight is staying stable. I do not count how many calories I eat.
He knows that very well...
He's been saying that for ages.
Of course if you fast 18 hours than you eat 4 portions of lasagne it doesn't work 😅
@@DebbieTDP of course, but you're changing the *type* of food to include a massive quantity of carbohydrates and also fructose (in the sauce). Intermittent fasting has as a pre requisite, that one is not consuming poison. That should go without saying.
In the absence of consuming poison, you can eat as much food (food not poison) during the eating window as you feel like, because your leptin will be working fine (since you haven't consumed posion to disable it) and you will feel full precisely when you have consumed the bodies caloric deficit.
The entire point is that once you stop poisoning yourself, the body regulates consumption consistent with caloric demand and you will not need to count calories. This is the state I am in and I just eat until I am full and I never put on a single pound. When not poisoned the body regulates calories, no counting needed.
@@homomorphic
Thank you for letting me know what I know since many years.
I don't eat poison since 2019. And fasting 😅
You probably didn't understand my reply.
@@DebbieTDP well yes, I figured, but you did mention lasagna ;-)
Call me cynical but I think these studies carried out by academics are deliberately misleading. Who is the main financial contributors to all these ‘studies, with the most to lose if we all eat proper food and become healthy? Surprise, surprise, big agriculture and big pharma.
Insulin is de Devil!
No,it's not. Have you not learnt anything ??
Too frequent feeding of sugar and refined carbs is the devil
@@kathykay6602 I think what you mean is that high insulin levels are the devil. I agree.
As others alluded to, however, insulin is a vitaly important hormone. High insulin levels are the devil, not insulin itself. If you had no insulin you'd be a type 1 diabetic and would need to inject insulin to stay alive.
Everything is the devil to you, mama!
Prolonged fasting = cortisol+adrenaline = adrenal fatigue = slowed metabolism = insomnia, weight gain, depression, low libido, hair loss...etc
He does not recommend prolonged fasting.
He recommends a 72- 96 hour fast as a limit. This range is a limit commonly referenced by others.
Prolonged fasting like the magician in a clear cube for 40 days is not recommended.
@@livincincy4498 96 hours? Say bye bye to your adrenals.
@@desmomotodesmomoto2033 This is BS! If you have ever had cancer (I have, fasted 18 days prior to my surgery to reduce the tumor size for best shot at debulking) and had to use Dr. Seyfrieds cancer fasting proticol, you would know forst hand what you said is rubbish! Tanking adrenals takes cronic (months/years of repetitive body abuse) of more then just fasting. So many other factors here from high sugar, high cortisol, no sleep etc...Don't blame fasting for what other behaviors are doing!
Fung is a crank.
Why substitute real food for bars and packaged food?!?🫣
I'd rather not eat. 🤐
Watch the videos on ultra processed foods on UA-cam. Very interesting.
@@4LuvOfGAIA I don't eat processed foods. I was talking about the nutrition used in the studies mentioned by Dr Fung
@DebbieTDP It wasn't clear by your comment. You asked why eat if you can't eat bars and packaged foods?
@@4LuvOfGAIA ?
I'm not a native English speaker but my comment was in correct English. Are you a native English speaker?!?
If you reread it maybe you'll understand what I meant.
@@4LuvOfGAIA I wonder if you watched and understood what Dr Fung explained in this video...🤔
