As someone who loves eating I was always hesitant to fast, but I have been doing 1 meal a day for about 6 months now and find I enjoy food so much more!
@MoralSingularity in my opinion, not a doctor, but don't jump from one extreme to another.... Gently transition by quiting snacking between meals. Then start pushing back breakfast till it merges with lunch. Then make sure every fall into what ever eating window you wish to try such as an 18-6.
It's amazing how everyone is an "expert" when you tell them you are fasting and they tell you it's bad. Even though you've (me) have tried everything known to man to lose weight and nothing else works.
This was a really good presentation and it carries more weight since he's a diabetic himself. There are a few "old school" doctors who had it right although most were either ridiculed or ignored. Dr. Richard Bernstein was writing about this in 1997 in his book "Diabetes Solution" which is considered the "diabetic bible" by many. He was one of the original pioneers of LCHF. He's a scientist and a medical doctor. He also has Type I diabetes but his books cover the treatment for Type II as well. He's a remarkable man at the age of 82 long past the average life expectancy of Type I diabetes.
I am one those people who tried a low carb diet that worked for about 2 weeks before plateauing. I had a BMI of 29.5. I was in a weight gaining trend seemingly unstoppable. Problems with reflux and other issues following a colon resection to remove bowel cancer. My General Practitioner said losing weight was easy, if you understood insulin. And fasted. Um. He mentioned a You Tube video to watch. This one. I found several things poignant. Protein stimulates insulin secretion only 60% less than carbs. Fat 95% less than carbs. I have eaten too much protein to make up for my lesser carb intake. But the outstanding learning point for me, was the, "Physiological Stages of Fasting" graph (15 minute mark). I wanted to kick start serious weight loss and ketosis appealed. I went 3.5 days of fasting followed by a stringent low carb high fat diet for several weeks. I have eased off somewhat since then but have lost 10kg in less than two months and attained a 7cm waist reduction as well. No additional exercise. No Gym. That's next on my agenda. I wont go into how I felt during the fast but will say I drank water whenever hungry. Water is a must. I have further to go in my quest for good health. And have the knowledge and track record to achieve it. My GP is Robert Szabo.
Flavored mineral water is fantastic when I'm fasting. I've been taking weight off so easily after starting fasting and when I do break my fast it's with a high fat meal. Watching Jason Fung explain the relationship between insulin and fat burning and storage was the light bulb going off in my head. I finally understood all of the tidbit I was reading about low carb and losing fat, etc.
Academics often have a bias in that they think everyone works in an office at a computer. Working a physical job outside for long hours... this can be a challenge when fasting. At least it was for me. I'm retired now so it is much easier to manage.
Thank you *so* much for this video. It's provided the "missing link" for me... have tried LCHF numerous times, also IF, ADF, OMAD, etc etc... and it's SO hard to shift any weight. I did a 10 day water fast In December which did bring me down 8 kg, but have barely managed to sustain that loss, and now (thanks to you) I know why. At the midpoint of your vid you mention the difference between a normal weighted person with T2D and an "enormous person without T2D" as being that the latter is very good at making lots of insulin. That's me! (I need to halve my weight.) I learned a lot from Dr Jason Fung's "two compartment" video, and I know now that my high base-line insulin is making "emptying the fridge" a very slow process. That's why I'm always tired and wrung out, and almost unable to lose. I figure the answer for me is more fasting, and persevering with LCHF when I *am* eating, and working hard on being very very patient.
It's just a legal thing. If you don't plan on suing him and you want to try it, just ignore it. But if you thot he was god or something and decided to sue him if it didn't work out like he described, then he's protected. Some people... 🤪
13:58 It's important to note that those participating in the dawn to dusk fast during Ramadan were also abstaining from any liquid, including even water.
Osamah Kiwan yes and large amounts of those doing this over eat in the morning and evening before & after sunrise so many tend to gain weight... it’s laughable compared to Taoist or Buddhist fasting from my view of watching this in person... like fasting for pretend.

Doc I have to wonder, have you been genetic tested for MODY diabetes? Your story seems very similar to mine. Except while in my 3rd trimester my insulin requirements went down, I no longer required insulin post prego, but three years later my diabetes came back at the same time my 3 year old was diagnosed. MODY is chromosomal dominant, therefore I was then diagnosed. She doesnt require insulin but we both on our own with no insulin have a1cs around 6 to 7. It varies with time, hormones, and circumstance. There are 11 types of MODY. Check it out
Try the Intensive Dietary Management site. I think they have forums. Also there's the Keto Forum, many keto people fast too. Listen to Jimmy Moore podcast Fasting Talk. He gives lots of fasting tips and advice.
It seems to keep happening, particularly to men. They are eating the "prudent diet" of oats, rice, grains, vegetables, very low fat, ("lean" white meat, probably) and they are coming down diabetic by their late 30s. It is then determined they have been "eating correctly," that it is just bad luck. Come on folks, when is it going to be generally realized that high carb and "lean protein" (dog whistle for plant protein, evidently) is an unnatural diet for humans? High carb and lean protein is naturally insulinogenic. It's the Sumo wrestler diet.
Love your presentation. I have 2 questions. Will a teaspoon of miso paste or vegemite mixed in hot water break a fast? Are there any doctors in the Geelong region of Victoria on board with therapeutic fasting?? I would love to know.
I would love to refer my mom to your clinic, as being as she's on medication she would not try something like this without a doctor's supervision, but unfortunately your clinic is on another continent... Can you recommend any doctor/dietitian combo offices in Virginia, USA?
+Random Guy thanks. I've actually managed to move some body fat with LCHF and 2 days of fasting. Most breakfasts are bullet proof coffee which adds more good fats and it all seems to be working. I appreciate your reply
From what I've heard from some others such as Nasha Winters, it takes a while for the Liver and other organs to let go of all their fat stores and the chemicals they are holding inside. Sometimes you may get symptoms that make little sense while these organs are letting down their fats. But it passes. Sounds like that may have happened for you. @S Five There are def a few Keto-Trolls on this page. Just report them. Let them run back to their Big Ag and Big Pharma Overlords and pant and get sweet little pats on their heads.
seems to be hard to get good info on this, but if i am fairly lean, athlete and dont want to incur significant muscle loss (i am probably 7-8% bf) what is the time frame i can/should fast. currently i do 40-44hours once per week and eat otherwise high calories in about 3 meals per day (i am/have been keto adapted for quite a while, hence fasting is easy) on the remaining days. in short i am looking to capitalize on health benefits from fasting but also interested in maintaining strength and speed performance, any suggestions, how frequently, how long the fast can/should extend? any links are welcome?
If you are on a keto diet and eating enough protein on your feeding days, you should not lose lean mass while fasting due to production of Growth Hormone.
Megan Ramos (Jason Fung’s business partner) had lost all the weight she wanted and was essentially healthy except for osteopenia. She wanted to strengthen her bones and muscles, so she’d fast about 72 hours to increase growth hormone and get autophagy benefits for health, then on that third day, before she broke her fast, she’d life heavy weights to failure. Not only did she build muscle, but she reversed her osteopenia. She did this once a week. I’ve hear several people say that three days is all you really need for health benefits if you’re pretty healthy to begin with. You could also do 5-7 day fast once a quarter or once a year to get any extra benefits, like stem cell production, et.
Some people go for weeks... only water. Listen carefully to the video, start short, 1 day, then 2, to get accustomed. Or try alternate or intermittent fasting if you really want to try.
Try doing keto. Eating sub 10g carbs. Get ketone strips to test. It's much easier to go from ketosis to fasting than being out of ketosis into fasting.
Lita Santos If you have fat stores on your body then that is where you will get energy from just the same as when you are on keto and not doped up on insulin. Your digestive system will have time to rest and heal while you fast. I take MCT oil / coconut oil (bio available to brain), desiccated liver tablets (fast energy), and saltstick tablets (if you feel aches or cramps while you fast then you need something like this) with water when I fast.
Not in a true fast, but there are some who do to help them through their fasting, if they’re struggling. It will stop autophagy because of the protein, but many of the benefits, such as fat loss, and stem cell production may be present.
Do the 7 primal moving pattern (lift weights), do cardio, stretch, frequent meals according to ur metabolic type and experiment with different types of foods from the same macronutrient until u find ones that works for u and rotate them, the more expansive the diet the better and insulin spikes will be the thing of the past. Fasting is good for spiritual practices and meditation, and vitality increase. but if u fast then jump back on screwed up macro-nutrient ratio and the wrong type of foods for ur body u will jump right back to crashes from insulin spikes, and u will actually create more trouble than benfit, u will be depleted of resources and weak and u will be an easy target for parasites. what they don't tell about fasting thousands years ago is that those ppl were advance in spirtuality and they honed in the skill of absorbing energy from the environment around them, thus they can stay fasted for longer, and when they eat they eat food that was extremely nutrient dense with a lot of life force. unfortunately now our foods are depleted so we need as much resources as we can get, not to mention the pollution and all the shenanigans, ur body needs constant resources to cleanse it self, but the the right resources not the wrong ones.
Thanks for the great talk. Re history, Muslims have been advised to fast since the 6th century AD. In fact, you probably find most Muslims fasting on Monday and Thursday as prescribed by the Prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic tradition, Prophet David himself faster every other day.

omar38317 That has nothing to do with studies themselves. He just used the fact that the mental disease that your parents gave you has some positive side effects.
Winston : If you keep your body in ketosis, it will continue to burn fat coming either from the fat you consume or your own body fat. Your body can store 500-600 g of glycogen (from carbs), which is roughly equivalent to 2,000 kcal, but it has access to more than 40,000 kcal from body fat, even if you are lean.
Weigh yourself daily before and during the fast, and if you lose too much, stop the fast. Wait until you regain the weight before fasting again (I'm presuming that if/when an otherwise healthy body dips underweight that it'll "automatically" prompt you to eat enough food to top itself up to its preferred weight without you having to "work at it"/force yourself to eat more).
Winston Healthy lean person has about one month reserve of fat. You can easily fast for a day or two. When you fast your HGH goes up so you won't loose muscle, and when you eat your fat cells 'recharge'. You are lean because you have very effective fat storage system(assuming that you're healthy). It does not mean that you are near starving.
If you are lean but in the "normal" BMI you'll be fine fasting for a few days. But if your BMI is bellow 20 you shouldn't fast for longer than 24/36 hours.
When you eat alot of fats and very few carbs on a regular basis, your liver will turn the fats into Ketones. You burn the Ketones. If you have plenty of body fat, let your body consume its own fat for a while. If you don't and you don't want to lose more fat, then increase your dietary uptake of fats. I'm currently taking in over 300g of fat/day to maintain weight while I'm working out. I weigh 125lbs and am undergoing Chemotherapy.
1Q - silly Q, Alcohol = Sugar, same metabolic pathway... www.70GoingOn100.com the Centenarian Diet, or maybe 128, the Hayflick limit, … or if a Ray Kurzweil fan then this is a Moot Point …
Every person is different and shouldn't blindly follow one diet. Everyone should try different diet and choose that fit them best e.g. Rob Szabo is probably is insulin resistance by genetic makeup. Insulin resistance isn't caused by carbohydrates, but by energy overload - to much calories and insulin resistance is adaptation to energy overload.
In our society, energy overload is usually caused by CARBS. Our government pushes carbs through the food pyramid and through food subsidies. Meat and vegetables don't receive as many subsidies as corn and wheat do. Most people don't go around overloading on expensive meats.
Since insulin is released when we eat carbs, it's ridiculous to think insulin resistance is not related to carb intake. I've heard many people say they insulin resistance is caused by high fat diet, but fay is the one micronutrient that does not spike insulin. These doctors have actually measured insulin response to different kinds of food. It's not guesswork.
Insulin resistance is from saturated fat and intracellular fat blocking insulin receptors. The insulin-obesity theory is dead, see Stephane Guyenet. Don't confuse refined carbs with healthy complex carbs and required fiber for gut health.
As someone who loves eating I was always hesitant to fast, but I have been doing 1 meal a day for about 6 months now and find I enjoy food so much more!
I went from 16-8 to one meal a day and feeling really good with a lovely big late night dinner!
Saoirse Sheridan My husband practiced one meal a day and he lost 40 lbs. He just had his medical checkup and everything is normal 👍👌😘

52.4 lbs down in 22 weeks using a Dr. Fung fasting protocol and low-carb.

Insulin lowers your blood sugar which prompts the body to look for food.
Low blood sugar, because you don't fast and train your's body to burn fat, unstead sugar 24/7.
4 or 5 days consecutive without one morsel of food?
Some people go for weeks... only water. Listen carefully to the video, start short, 1 day, then 2, to get accustomed. Or try alternate or intermittent fasting if you really want to try.
thank you - doing IF for about a month. but the longest i can go is 27 hours once. I don't think I can even go one whole day without food.
Try doing keto. Eating sub 10g carbs. Get ketone strips to test. It's much easier to go from ketosis to fasting than being out of ketosis into fasting.
I have been doing keto for 4 weeks now. still can't imagine going so many days without eating at all.
