@@marissasofia6286 j'aimerai aussi prendre du poids mais là est le problème comment faire ? le Docteur Fung n'en parle pas , je suis dans le même que vous .
I told my DR in the UK that I was going to do Keto and intermittent fasting. He said don't do it, its dangerous. I no longer take insulin and have lost 60 pounds.
Hope you either gave your Doctor this book to read....or fired him.
@@donkemp8151 Hi Don, This was three years ago, and I am in the UK. I can't choose my DR, I can choose to never see a DR but not what DR I go to. On the upside, I pay nothing for my prescriptions and the health care is offered to all as part of the Govt social services.
In uk there is they are committed to following the NICE guidelines, then there are those who have "special interest" but they still cannot advise as this requires special individual attention on that patient and monitoring on that unconventional pathway. However, when you tell them that your doing this those with special interest want to hear about it, thereby indirect approval/ encouragement. Other advice is "no wrong diet, whatever works for you". So whilst some may know they are not allowed to explicitly encourage you as this does not fit with NICE guidelines.
Congratulations sir, that is awesome.
It's dangerous only to the companies that would otherwise provide you medicines
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
You should probably talk to your pediatrician. Children this age do not get Type 2 diabetes, but they can get Type 1.
My two year old developed type 1 diabetes. He's now 21.
I know 2 kids (children of friends) who were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 3 years old. Youngest that I know of with Type 2 was 9 years old. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor. They probably can do a finger stick glucose test right in their office
I was diabetic since last 27 years with intermittent fasting I have reversed my diabetes in six months. I lost 12 kg and now hba1c is 5.4. Thank you very much Sir..God bless you

I got diagnosed with diabetes September 30, 2021 with an A1C of 7.6 and when I went to the Doctor on 11/17/2021 my A1C was 5.2 all because of intermittent fasting 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌Thank you for saving my life Dr. Fung❤️❤️
Chris thank u
great to hear about your journey. did you follow 16/8 fasting .could you share your fasting routine. thanks
God bless you 🥂
Hi Jacqueline I was also diagnosed in September. What do you eat and how many days do you fast. I would likevto see my diabetes come down.
Woow congrats! May I know whether u took any diabetic medication while fasting? And if so how u did it… thanks
Dr Fung is not only reversing diabetes, he's turning hundreds/thousands of lives around. He asks for nothing. Show your appreciation: buy the merch. I'm a proud owner of a fungster t-shirt!
You are completely right.
Where do you get the t-shirts? I would love to get a couple but I don't see a link in the description or on his website. I did a search and found a bunch but I want the proceeds to go to him. If you have a link to an official website or an official vendor please share it. And are there any that aren't short sleeve? It's winter, I'd rather have two thirds sleeve or long sleeve t-shirt.
Great idea
I have all his books
@@Kyarrix What you are looking for is on this page under Jason Fung's name and picture.
I was diagnosed with type two diabetes 3 months ago. My glucose was 398 and my A1C was 10.2. After 3 months of 16/8 fasting, my glucose was 92 and my A1C went down to 6.1 and I went from 244lbs to 209lbs. Thanks to Dr. Fung's guidance I'm on my way to loose the unwanted weight and have normal blood levels.
Wonderful 👍👌
That's so great!
Will you share what you eat at the end of each day's fast? I have no problem fasting but then am tempted by the wrong foods. 😐
Excellent....
Did you exercise?
Yes, I exercise or 1 hour from Monday to Friday. I realized this has to be my lifestyle from now on and not just a temporary thing.
Felt it a duty for fellow diabetics to come back to this video and give my thoughts. Was diagnosed with type 2 in August 2023 with an A1C of 14.1. I was very scared and videos like this one gave me hope. Happy to report an A1C of 7.8 as I'm typing this comment. Can't thank Jason and other amazing advocates who provide resources like this enough!
If you're on the journey just know there's light at the end of the tunnel but you must be honest with yourself and make the right decisions.
Mr please contact with me i am type 2 diabetic but if i do fasting my sugar level goes down so ho should I do fasting
I was diagnosed April 2023… very scary but Dr Fung’s cookbook for diabetics and these videos give me hope!
Thanks for the update. I was just told by a nurse that IF would cause my A1C to go higher.
I was never a diabetic. But I started this year on the verge of obesity and am ending this year on the verge of optimal weight. Thank you Dr Fung for your books and videos!
Unbelievably grateful, an ICU nurse here, I have slowly weaned myself off from 3 BP meds and 1 diabetic med. it took me 5 months of low carb, keto, time restricted eating and truly understanding all your discussions. I have reversed all that, my BP 110/60 blood sugar so controlled. I feel so good. For years, they were just increasing my medications, with minimal focus on what truly works. There is so much obesity, HPN, dialysis -renal failure, heart attacks, strokes, cancer all around us which brings so much pain...Please let us continue to educate our love ones and society. Dr. Fung my hero! Thank you 🙏 .....
Wow
Thank you for your service.
Wow, amazing evolution! As a nurse you probably see first hand all the problems that come with metabolic syndromes. I'm happy for you
I was on 2000mg of Metformin. I reversed my T2D with HEALTHY Keto and Intermittent Fasting lifestyle. ❤
Thank you Dr Fung
How long did it take?
I'm trying to avoid Metformin, my husband takes it and the side effects are awful. I would rather die than take that stuff. I'm following Dr.Fung and trying intermittent fasting.
Awesome 👏🏾
@@lindadoran6062 I feel the same way. Metformin is a completely anti-social drug. I do the I.F. as often as I can and have cut sweets, refined carbs and processed foods almost completely. (I eat a lot of meat and salad) I have lost 14kgs in 6 months as I am doing it slowly. My blood sugar has been fine! Good luck, it works!
I take 1000mg metformin and I have not had any issues at all. But most definitely I'm going to try fasting and eating in a 12 hour window breakfast and dinner. Two granola bars and water at around noon but I'm going to try an all protein diet. Wish me luck.
I can't tell you how many diabetics say I can't fast, it drops my glucose. Duh! I've asked have you called your doctor? No. Well call them, it's probably time to lower your medication. "Oh, no. My doctor wants me on this med." Ding Ding Ding..... you don't need it. I can fast 2 days now and it really helps. My levels stay normal. I've never pushed it past 2 days though. I got through Thanksgiving eating what I wanted, just smaller portions and no problems. Just fasted two days before. My glucose did go up a bit, around 120 at one point, but came slowly back down. I'm fasting since last night and back down between 80- 100, no meds.
It's hard for some to challenge their doctor.
@@dort5436 Apparently, it is for some people. I don't see it as a challenge though. When mine started dropping I called and told them I was dropping into the 60s and couldn't keep it higher. They started pulling me off meds and the next visit, I'd gone from 12.6 A1C to a 5.3 A1C.
The doctor was like, I'm glad you listened to the dietitian. Didn't have the heart to tell him I look at the pamphlets, all the other stuff they were going on about said F* that. Got up, threw it in her wastebasket and walked out. Haven't looked back. If I'd have followed their advice, I'd still be on meds. Of course they didn't bother to tell me I had diabetes for four years after it showed on the blood tests so, I didn't trust a word any of them said.
I don't ask my doctor. I do fast for religion reason and TD2. It helps a lot
There is a big difference between type 1 and type 2. if you mess up with type 1 you will ☠ Type 2 is the one that doesn't require meds. Keto diet is perfect along with Intermittent fasting.
I understand speaking with your doctor completely but I feel like my doctor set me up for a lifelong of diabetic complications. I was diagnosed with T2D back in October and my A1C was over 14 and my blood sugar was 353! I was a chronic smoker also which doesn’t help with sugar levels. I changed my diet, stopped smoking and never took the insulin or metformin prescribed to me but never told my doctor this. Then I came back for a check up and they were super happy when they seen my fasting sugar wasn’t high but low at 82. Then I told them I didn’t take the medication and you should’ve seen their faces! I changed my diet and do fast but Im also still finding the diet that works best for me and my sugar levels. I believe I’m in control of my diabetes now I’m trying to get completely rid of it. I’ve also been losing weight steadily too. Thanks to you and the other people spreading the TRUTH about this condition that’s reversible.
Dr. Fung...i did talk to my doctor. The only help was getting from my own doctor was to send more prescriptions to the pharmacy for profit,not to help me with my health. I almost die few weeks ago becouse my doctor rise the mg's of one of the prescription,i even told my dr.that those meds was give me heart palpitation,and chest pain. Din't listen,and still rise up my meds. Well, when i saw my self in so much danger from my own dr, i decide to start taking control of my own health. So i did. Back in july i start keto diet with intermitted fasting. Now we are in september. I was 218lbs then...now after few weeks i weight 185lb. I feel great,sleep better,no more high sugar,no more chest pain. I also just start with OMAD fasting,i feel even better. I watch your videos talking about autophagy,and that's how fasting clean body from inside out. Even my skin it's shiny like a baby buttom. And i am 51 years old,i feel like i am in my 20's. Thank you dr. Fung. God bless you and your family.👌👌👌👌👌
I have reversed(Controlled?) type 2 diabetes through intermittent fasting. When I did my blood work in April 2021, I was shocked to know that my FBS was 315 and HBA1C is 12.4. That was a wake up call. I wasn't extremely obese(178cm, 83-84 kg) but over weight. The doctors immediately put me into metformin. After watching Dr. Eric Berg and Jason Fung, I started 16 hours intermittent fasting(not really full Keto though) and started walking 8k-10k steps a day. I started noticing significant improvement in my sugar control(FBS dropped to 86-90 with medication). Then I went ahead and dropped the medication around mid June. When I checked my HBA1C in September, it has dropped to 5.7 and FBS/Random blood sugar are in healthy range. Below are the changes I have made to my life style
- Started IF(16/80 by skipping breakfast(I was never a breakfast guy)
- Completely stopped taking sugar. Replaced sugar with Stevia(for the tea or protein Shake)
- We eat a lot of rice as part of our food habit. Reduced the portion of rice and added more protein/veggies
- I am a software engineer with inactive life style. So started walking 8K-10K steps a day. Tried to include it as part of the lifestyle(walking while taking the calls etc. )
- Included more protein in the form of whey supplement(Vegetarian for most part)
- Reduced 8-10 Kg due to all the changes
- Started a bit of resistance training
- Right now my HBA1C is 5.7 and fasting blood sugar anywhere between 90 - 110
Hopefully its a permanent change, not a transient one. Writing this hoping it could motivate someone.
Wonderful sir 👌👌👌👍 really it's amazing good effort, great work, bringing the things into action is very difficult but you have achieved and motivating others, thankyou sir 🙏🙏🙏
@@rajurajasekaran2688 Thanks. Among all the different diet/eating patterns , I felt intermittent fasting is easy to implement and stick on to it for longer duration.
Yes correct sir thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
@sankar P hi, day before diagnosed with type 2 but i am thin age 36 because of software job i believe.. Totally down now.. Not sure what should be the starting the point as we are completely depend on rice.. Fasting -120 and pp - 176 and hba1c -8..Thought of starting with walking and intermittent fasting of 12:12..can you pls help with rice alternatives because if I lose weight I will be on underweight..Doctor said no need of medications as of now and try for lifestyle changes for a month
@@ponirulayi2197 don't worry. Your situation is not as bad as mine. I am not an expert but can suggest some based on my personal experience. Since you are on lighter side , try to get enough calories even though you are doing intermittent fasting. Reduce the portion of rice and replace it with protein/fat. As far as rice substitutes, try local millets. They are generally lower in glycemic index
I reversed my T2 diabetes with very low carb & daily 18:6 fasting 2 years ago. I’m off all meds with an a1c of 5.2. It can be done but does take ongoing effort. Good luck to everyone
What meals and timing did you use..do u make videos?
@@WuZU84M3 I eat 2 meals (at 12noon & at 6pm) and keep my food very simple. Lunch is eggs with bacon or sausages and dinner is meat/fish with steamed veg or a green salad. I have greek yoghurt, nuts or 90% chocolate as a snack immediately after the meal ie no snacking all day long.
hey cris whats your secret on reverse diabetes,im trying no carbs at all but sometimes my sugar still high...what do i need?is walking a great add on or change my diet again..
@@MsTony1402 Did you ever get really low blood sugar from the fasting or medicine?
@@Myeternalperspective I used to only be on Metformin and fasting didn‘t cause low blood sugar. Now I‘m no longer on any meds so don‘t have any low blood sugar issues. Best to check with your doctor if you take any other meds than Metformin as they may cause dips in your blood sugars
215 lbs to 180 lbs I'm off insulin. I only have to take metform... Thanks God. Dr F you are the best! 30 lbs more to go....I believe in God the healer.
My father reversed his diabetic neuropathy thanks to you. His A1C is normal too. No more shaking.
I'm praying this will help my neuropathy as well
I was pre-diabetic. A1C was 5.9. Doing IF lost 74lbs in 14 months. My A1C is now 5.1. I eat Keto/low carb & walk/cycle for exercise.
My doctor recently told me I no longer need to take Metformin as my sugar levels have dropped below the diabetes level. Did this with healthy diet and exercise jn about 4 months. So pleased. Thank God 😊
What were you eating, if you can share. What kind of exercise too
Type 2 diabetic past 30 years. I "graduated" almost ten years ago from over 300 units a day of Humalog in an insulin pump to Humulin U-500 (which is unbelievably expensive) so as to not run thru so much insulin each day, gained 100 pounds...multiple health problems ensued... One day I had had enough, simply disconnected from my insulin pump, completely changed my eating COMPLETELY, went low carb AND IF. I am off all insulin, Lost 108 pounds, I'm mobile, healthy and happy. A1c two weeks ago was 5.8. I weigh 161 pounds and 5'7". My endocrinologist is pleased although he didn't recommend my changes, he is stuck prescribing drugs and 'managing' diabetes.' I've never felt better. Wish I had done this 20 years ago. I'm 70. Thanks Doc.
Congratulations 👏it's never to late for doing good to ourselves and pas to other's your story. Keep going.
What did you do when you had high blood sugars? Currently I’ve stopped insulin and I’m at 400+
As you advised, I did talk to my endocrinologist before starting to fast. I am obese at 78 kgs for my height, Type 2 diabetic, Hypothyroidism thyroidism & PCOS and ofcourse the MDD( December 2021).He downright refused to help me with my medications saying that I shouldn't fast and had laid an obnoxious diet consisting of everything I don't want to eat. I started with 12 hr IF anyways.. Gradually to OMAD in 6 months. I was on OXRAMET 5/1000 twice a day and I myself shifted to once a day just 20 minutes before my OMAD.
After 8 months,
I am down to 64 kgs, energy levels are better.
the blood sugar is better than it was before.
I moved left from obese to overweight.
I get my periods every month without any medications.
I still have a long way to go to achieve my normal BMI.
Only if the doctors here in India were more open to IF, it would help so many of us to get rid of medications but then that's the catch! Nobody would go to them 😁
Great story 👏 I hope that now day's you are doing well 😀
Dr. Fung's books got me off heavy insulin & metformin despite being a ten year diabetic. But I had to get my Endo MD to let me extend ''alternate'' day water-only fasting up to 42 hours for 21 days 'alternately' which was a total of only 11 fasts in between ten feeding days. Since then, I'm now down 146 pounds. TY Dr Fung.
Congratulations ! 👏
Big Congrats.At 6 4 and 300lbs it is time for me to start.Any tips most helpful.Goal is to lose 50lbs in a year by learning how to fast
Hi, do you/did you have a fatty liver when you started? Also, how long did it take to see good bs results? I’m a week in and bs is hovering at 185-205.
@@wendylm4770 I hope my answer inspires you. Of all the books, web articles, videos & even a TED Talk, the only doc who finally rescued me was Ken Berry, MD's OLD video on fatty liver.

I recently got diagnosed with Diabetes, my A1C was 8.5, fasting blood sugar was 8.0, I have been fasting now (16 hour fast at least) for about 3 weeks. My morning blood sugar is consistently low 6's or high 5's. This morning it was 5.7. I have also lost 15 lbs during the last month. I was 221lbs a month ago, this morning I was 206.5lbs. The fasting is working for me better than expected. I also exercise at least an hour a day (walking and running). My skin is better I notice, i was getting some weird watery pimples in my scalp and now they are gone. I have more energy and sleep better. My resting pulse on my apple watch says about 47-51 usually. I was over 60. I am 58 years old and feel pretty good. I will keep it going. Also eat minimal carbs.

Got my A1C down from 12.6 to 4.9 in 3 months and my insulin resistance has GREATLY improved. Have not had a recent fasting insulin test but I plan on getting one soon.
I’m ready to reverse my type 2!!! I just shared this video on my FB page because I want other people out there to know that you can reverse type 2.

Stick with it and you will be successful! You are on your way! 👍🙂

Well some people eat less avoid diabetes.
How about insulin? Work or not?
How about pancreas? Does it insulin or not?
I spoke with my doctor last Friday. She doesn't believe in fasting for type 2, I'm doing it anyway. I'm looking forward to my blood work in 3 months. She will be shocked when she sees my A1C.
Yes 👏 you prove that Doctor wrong! Best of luck 🤞🏼
Yes my doctor told me I was not to try the intermittent fasting even after I told him that my brother is off insulin after IF and low carb diet and I wanted to try the same! So I did it anyway and he is so pleased with my weight loss and sugar levels but he will not change my medication !!
same to the doctor which i went last month...she said not eating will not doing any good...medication is a must...i hate her
Trust me when I tell you Doctors can be wrong, trust your gut and go for it! Fasting is one of the best medicine in this life!

YESSSS
Since discovering Dr. Fung’s videos and purchasing both the Diabetes Code and the Obesity Code, I’ve been alternate day fasting and eating less than 50 grams of carbs a day and eating more unsaturated plant fats. I’m more satisfied with my food than I have been in years and I’ve lost 30 pounds in just over 5 weeks. I’m so grateful to Dr. Fung.
I skipped step one because my doctor doesn't believe in "starving" yourself and fad diets (He has great things to say about meds though!). I rejected his referral to a weight loss "nutrition specialist" since I knew it would be the typical calorie counting, moderate carb, low fat, low salt diet. Four months later into Keto+IF and taking free advice from "UA-cam doctors", I am down 70lbs, blood sugar and cholesterol levels are all normal. Doctor is still trying to shrug it off 😆. He also seems to know nothing about insulin resistance. I gotta find a new doc!
you are right about some of the docs.
Hi. Your doc knows nothing about insulin resistance?!?!?! Wow. That’s a huge event in the body that makes all the physiological tragedies start!! Congratulations on your accomplishments!! So happy for you. Yes, find a new doctor. Actually, your new life has probably cut out doctors from your future, except annual checkup stuff!!! 😎👍🏼
Find a good diabetic dietitian
Same here bro😂
I had gestational diabetes during both my pregnancy and that’s why I started intermediate fasting. A1C normal 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you.
I lost 12 pounds with intermitent fasting. ..thanks Doctor Fung.
Once I began IF and ketovore, I began having difficulty keeping my CGM as health insurance and Medicare say you have to be on insulin for reimbursement of costs. Course now with following your protocol and no longer on meds, I’m being punished by Medicare. How do they get away with dictating what we need to keep monitoring our diabetes! We need insurance changes
Ironic right? They only love you when you're sick....
😮 wow!! That’s really sad,and unfair :/.
Multiply me by all improving diabetics on Medicare
if enough people could get off insulin to affect the CGM mfr’s bottom line, perhaps they would make them affordable enough to maintain w/o insurance.
I fasting everyday 16 to 18 hours my blood sugar is normal.and I exercise two hours everyday and eat healthy diet. That’s why my type two is reversed for four years now. Thank you Dr.Jason Fung.you help and educate us a lot!
If you eat carbs or sugar ,not like everyday but regularly did your sugar spike?
Congratulations
There is a natural ' concern ' in his voice...so reassuring.
Amazing man saving 1000s of lives
Thank you Dr Fung! No diabetes but I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is better and my asthma is practically non-existent! Fasting is an incredible way to improve health. Thanks to you, I've now lost over 138 lbs since just about a year ago! I've started a new job as a lifeguard....at 58 years old😲! My life has changed and I feel so well! So I treated myself to ordering some Pique tea 😁😁! Thanks for all you do.
Great! That tea is so good
@@pilaraguilar1201 That's what I've heard! I'm looking forward to it. Thanks 😊
@Tohar Baap Yes, I eat a low carb high fat diet. All non inflammatory foods. With intermittent fasting. Thanks 😊
Well done !!
@@gloriasaliba3395 Thank you!
Been doing 18:6 for almost 4 months and am down 30+ pounds; A1C went from 8+ to currently 6.3 and continuing to decrease on a rolling 90-day average without any meds. Biggest fasting challenge for me was first week, but now it has become habit and I'm planning on starting OMAD in mid-May.
I am 74, recently diagnosed with haemochromatosis, knowing my liver was suffering, I started intermittent fasting, 12/12 for 4 days then 14/10 a week then 16/8 I've stayed with 16/8 but often go 18/6, I have had 3 venesections at fortnightly intervals, and my ferritin which was 1138 as come down to 400 ish, which is amazing, and if it is due to intermittent fasting another reason to just love this lifestyle x x x
Thank you Dr. Fung for such all your encouragement.
There is a trick to eating pasta, potatoes and rice so not to raise blood sugar and I tried it and it works. You cook them then do NOT eat them until 24 hours have passed (refridgerate) then the starch in them CHANGES to an undigestable form. Then upon reheat they do not change back but remain undigestable and therefore have very little effect on blood sugar. Also, a tablespoon of vinegar before meals helps with blood sugar also :)
So true about the the carbohydrates cook those and leave in the fridge overnight before using will not affect your blood sugar
@@titep8065 Wowww I got to try this! What if I put brown bread in fridge?
Very true! That’s how I eat my carbs! I refrigerate them 24 hours and I don’t reheat thrm. I eat them cold.
Do you freeze after cooling or just refrigerate
All of this is true! I tried that the other day. My blood sugar was fine. I drizzle just a bit of vinaigrette on salads now and my blood sugar stays stable.
After changing my diet to lower carb, trying different cinnamon supplements, my #'s went down drastically by doing that (200 to 107 over a one yr period), but I was still staying in the prediabetic #'s. The best thing by far to keep my fasting blood sugar at 99 or less is Intermittent fasting!! 16-18 hrs fasting, 8-6hr eating window. So no bfast for me, which I was doing anyway, but I eat lunch & dinner. It's been amazing to see my FBSL #'s stay in the 90's when I really stick to that 16/8 IF. Even if I dont eat totally Low carb... I was floored by that.
Were you taking any diabetic medication as well?
@@Myeternalperspective nope, I have never taken any diabetes meds. I was prescribed Metformin, but nvr took it. I wanted too see if changing my diet would fix the issue first.
That’s awesome Shante!! You are amazing - keep up the good work.
@@shantechavis2489 awesome 👌 👏 👍🏿
This is encouraging!
These videos has changed my life
This man is a true healer. We need more people like him.
Dr.Jason Fung. Millions thanks to your hard work.
Fasting prevented me from going from a pre-diabetic state and Metabolic Syndrome and PCOS to Type 2 Diabetes. I now am normotensive, my Hgb A1c is well within normal range. I've lost 55 lbs and still working to lose another 30lbs. I feel better at 72 than I did at 35 and 45! I am forever glad that a friend told me about Jason Fung and intermittent fasting.
OUTSTANDING!!! TY JASON!!!
Thank you Fungster! You are saving lives.
As always, great information, easy to understand!
Love your analogy it makes sense. Thank you Dr. Fung.
I truly admire you Dr. Fung for being so open about this and other illnesses. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr.Fung!!! God bless you and your family!!!🙏🏽❤️
Thank you Dr Fung! I love being motivated to do the right thing! Plus understanding this disease
Thank You Dr. Fung I have been following you for 3-4 month's now you advise is amazing I have reversed my T2D off of all med's and energy and attitude increased again may thanks!
Just my own experience but it's worked such a miracle for me...I'm 65 and on the 5th of December '21 I left a 2 year abusive relationship and was faced with a bit of forced poverty lol. For the period till now my diet consisted of two loaves of wholegrain bread, 2 cucumbers, 6 tomatoes, a lettuce and a small piece of cheese per month. Every month. Mind you I lost my appetite completely, only returning now. I found the doctor's video at the perfect moment. I fasted and followed OMAD. A sandwich for supper (and lots of tea & coffee with 1/2 sugar inbetween) and 5 or six green beans which I had growing at my gate as a treat during the day. Well I've lost 32 lbs till now and honestly? The amount of food we consume is really not necessary. Eat to live. I've tried to lose this weight and mass for 30yrs without success but it just melted away. The occasional hunger pangs? Ignore them, they don't last long. Gratefully I am now able to afford a slight improvement in my diet but still only cook twice a week, small meal and the rest my previous ingredients. I've read about pre diabetes, metabolic syndrome, visceral fat etc and was afraid, very afraid. So all in all I guess I'm grateful for the situation I found myself in for forcing me to change my eating habits..and for helping me to achieve this goal. I feel incredibly good but now need a whole new wardrobe lol from extra L to Medium in 4 1/2 months. You can do it!
well done ! Happy for you .
@@chuanenglim3954 thank you so much! It's been an amazing journey.
Dr Jason fung is real hero... God bless you and your family..
Thank you for teaching. I was type 2 I started interment fasting 36 hours twice a week.after 1 month I am no longer taking metformin for 15 years . I continue fasting to loose weight.Thank you so much. I feel so much better you are wonderful.
I'm fasting for at least 15 hours, I've lost 2st and my sugars are in 6 range usually 6.1, doctor at diabetic clinic t9ld me to reduce the amount of metformin I take, im soooo glad I found your videos on UA-cam
thank you for this wonderful explaination
Thank you again Dr Fung! Just using common sense to explain how are body works! Love it!
Goal day!!! Thank you Dr. Fung...today I achieved a normal BMI. Your videos were a massive part of my journey from morbid obesity.
Congratulations!
Hi Mike!! Super congratulations!! You have really changed your life to achieve a normal BMI!!! I’ve recently started intermittent fasting for a month and have lost 15 pounds. I’m planning to keep going to achieve a normal BMI, also! Dr. Fung’s videos have been great!! Again, congrats to you!!!
Yes! I read his book in November 2020. “I turned off the faucet “, full keto, IF. Lost 70 pounds, off three diabetes medications and one triglycerides medication. My A1c from 8 to 5!
I really appreciate your unagitated, clear, easy and structured way of talking about the issue, trying to help people. thanks!
Thankyou so much. You are an angel Dr.fung.
Thanks so much doctor I really enjoyed this video
Thank you for your clear explaination of what T2D is and how to avoid the problem.
Love your work!
Thanks for explaining so the regular person can understand God bless 🙏
Thank you Dr Fung! Love the analogies, makes so much sense. Great t-shirt Fungster! :)
I really appreciate you keeping this simple. I started fasting and I really enjoy it. Lost a lot of weight. Unfortunately I got watching some serious fasting channels that got me so confused and worried about very minute details that I almost quit. Keep it very simple is my strategy. And if I start to get too complicated, I eat and start again in a few days.
Hey Dr. Fung, thanks for your videos. My A1c is now 5.3. Down from 7.9 three months ago!
Thank u so much, Dr. Fung
Brilliant. Presentation is on point and to the subject matter. Keep this up
Crushing it Dr Fung 🧐💪🏻
Great fridge/freezer/car gas tank analogy. This is probably the most general complete video I have seen on IF and how to do it safely. The only problem is trying to even get to see a doctor in these post covid pandemic times if you are indeed on medication.
Great refresher, after thanksgiving I needed a reset.
Excellent, doctor 🙏
I absolutely LOVE how you explain things about our bodies. I wish that I had YOU as a Professor in college for ALL my classes. I would have ACED them all. Now it's time for me to get started on taking care of myself, my body and educating my family. By living by example. Thanks again, Dr. Fung😉
Best videos in the whole world !
Thank you so much Dr. Jason Fung !!
Ultimate big respect
I am very thankful to you Dr Jason
You are giving great knowledge to the people
Thanks Doc. I'll do it.
Thanks Jason your discourses on intermediate fasting for type-2 diabetes worked and also discovered I had a fatty liver from corn syrups sugar and got my liver cleaned and cleared from fasting, this is what caused my diabetes and now I'm in reverse and no longer need Metformin big gracious thanks for this free discourse thats worth thousands of dollars Thanks again for this miraculous discourse..
Thanks Dr. Fung. My Fasting Sugar was 317 last month. I went on intermittent fasting with one small modification and after one month today it is 183. Though still a more reduction needed but O am happy that it miraculously down from 317. You are blessed Dr. May God give you everything good you want.❤❤❤❤
You're the best doc.
If and Keto have effects beyond diabetes. Since I started, I've lost 40 lbs (205 to 165), stopped metformin, Glimiperide, Lisinopril (blood pressure), Sotalol (AFIB), Linzes (constipation) and lab results are all better than before. I also have less alergies and have stopped getting tonsil stones. Wheat can cause alergies and bacteria feeds on sugar to create tonsil stones. My insulin levels were low normal (3.5Miu/L). type 2 diabetes insulin is typically 8x normal (
Dr. Fung thanks for for these gem of videos. I was diagnosed with diabetes and fatty liver in June this year. I adopted intermittent fasting and did not take any medication prescribed to me. Lost weight from 71 kgs to 64 kgs now. Blood test result today - No diabetes and No fatty liver! . LDL is a bit raised though but very happy and thankful to you.
LDL going up is actually good. Don’t look at individual cholesterol numbers, look at them in terms of their ratios with each other… Total Cholesterol, Remnant Cholesterol, HDL, Triglycerides, etc. Must look at the big picture
Thank You So Much. Your Explanations Are So Clear. I Have Been Following Your Instructions, Along With My Endocrinologist. Again Thank You.
I really find the videos useful. I like that they are just 10 minutes or so, as well.
Jason....Excellent video. I watch many of your videos over and over again - so much to learn. I'm down 20 pounds, do 16/8 or 18/6 every day and feel so much better! Thank you!!
Good job. Keep it going.
Hi Dr Fung greetings from Germany!
Really love your content.
I read your book the obesity code, it changed my whole outlook on Obesity. In my webinars I always recommend your book.
As a weight loss coach I'm more effective now in helping my clients.
Thanks again Dr Fung!!
You put it so simply. Easy to understand. Thank you.
Awesome information. Your knowledge is truly fantastic. Keep doing what you do. You are helping thousands of people. May God continue to bless you...
