Me personally, I started losing the most weight after reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, a few things you are mentioning in this video are also in the book
I was born in 1959, a teenager in the 70's. We didn't think about food. Seriously, it was something you had to stop what you were doing, interrupt your life, to sit and eat at the table with the family, then do more chores before you went to bed. If you didn't get lunch, oh well, you were busy. If you were slow getting up in the morning and your brother and 4 sisters got all the oatmeal, chances are you had to walk to school without breakfast, and well, tough luck there. Then the brown bag at lunch or you walked back home, grabbed that sandwich you showed and walked back to school. I like a lot of pickles on my bolagna sandwiches.
OMG. So true! Eating used to be something we had to stop what we were doing .. an interruption to actually sit down with others and eat. :D Very well stated!!
I'm in week 4 of OMD, low carbs, zero sugar and better food. I'm off of insulin and oral diabetes medication. The biggest surprise was my blood pressure which fell quite a bit. Jason and others on the internet have done me more good than 20 years of primary care physicians and endocrinologists. I wish I had started sooner.
I think people need to recognise what true hunger feels like, it is different to a craving, boredom, habit, social pressure. Plus realise that it is ok to be hungry sometimes, it is normal and healthy.
The psychological factor goes much further than boredom, habit or social pressure. To many of us, food is a 'mother'-we eat to soothe stress, pain, fatigue, anything. Real hunger and addiction hunger are nothing against the need to compensate.
So true! Also, for a lot of people emotional pain is felt in the region of the solar plexus and this is easily confused with hunger. (Realised this years ago when dealing with a break up)
@@sebastienchamarande5710 agreed. But I just summarised a few points into illustrate the point that social, emotional ans behavioural factors can subconsciously influence the way we eat.
@@benjaminhill01 yep. And when it's nearly dinner time and you are really hungry but save yourself for the meal. Or learn that you don't have to feel stuffed to be satisfied post-meal
Diet industry wants to make money. As Karl Marx said, There is no such crime that capital would not go for the profit. But they are dumb killing us in the process. They can make a sh@t load of money differently.
It's funny when you think about it because it seems we dig ourselves deeper and deeper in search of the cure for being fat. All the while people were rarely fat for hundreds of thousands of years with 0 research or attempt. Sure, most would say the caloric intake was lower but from years of experimenting it seems clear to me that the Randle cycle and carb addiction (which causes snacking) is the issue.
It is simple and always has been. If you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. However that holds people personally accountable and doesn't sell books or plans or dietary supplements very well.
@@Ryan_DeWitt But it isn't just "calories in, calories out". How could it be? What you eat affects your body. How do you know how many calories your body uses each day? Also, a calorie is not necessarily equal to another calorie when it comes to measuring energy content in the food. How is the "calories in, calories out" useful (assuming that it is actually true)?
Recently read his book Obesity Code. At 53, with no exercise (have a foot injury currently) I'm going to hit a 20 pound weight loss inside of 6 weeks. Just two more to go. I've adjusted to the change and love it. Doesn't feel like a diet or suffering. No post meal crash after eating lunch. I quit grazing and snacks. Mind is clear and sharp all day long. Minor digestion issues and the need for an antiacid before bed are gone. The savings is easily $20/day with today's food prices. Save hundreds a month and lose weight? Win-win. Only wish I learned this much earlier in life.
I was a 70's kid. There were no sodas in people's fridge. Sodas were a special treat. No snack cakes or chocolate in the pantry. Mom on rare occasions made some candy or brownies. Snacking during TV rarely happened because we had 3 channels so watching TV all day was not a thing. When we sat and watched TV as a family, if we ate anything it was popcorn or on special nights we had potato chips and dip. Snacking every day just didn't exist.
90's kid here , was the same , it was all about education and culture , i am not American :P ... We had soda once a year and it was on SPECIAL occasion , actually eating sweet things like candies , cakes and so on , was just done on SPECIAL occasions , and i can tell you it was only like once or twice a year
We had soda once a month. We'd all get a single glass each as a treat. The only cakes we got were at birthdays. Chocolate was only really at Easter. Maybe a few more.trests around Christmas, but that was about it.
Hello, I am French and I bought your books in French. I started the IF (16/8) and I lost more than ten kilos and my weight stabilized. I no longer had cravings, I no longer snacked between meals. I only ate at 12 o'clock 'am) and 17 o'clock (pm). I wanted to consult a dietician and in France the doctors are eager to make us have breakfast because they say that it is essential .... my kilos have returned! I have to start all over again. My body reacts very well to the 16/8. Thank you for your books and videos. Cheers from la France in Europe! Be blessed!
Remember what you eat and how you eat plays a big role. Now to the three Hacks.. 1. Keep it Boring (eat natural foods not processed foods). 2. Fat fasting..(allow a period of very high fat foods) 3. Exercise. (Huge benefit is that it takes your mind off food) Final tip - don’t eat all the time.
I was a kid in the 70s too. My Mom would say after dinner, “back away from the trough. The kitchen is closed. Do not come back until 7 AM tomorrow.” It sounds funny but she was serious.
Growing up in the 70s as well, being poor, we at lunch (at school) and dinner whatever Mom cooked. In-between, we played outside and was more curious on how the world worked. That was a time where houses had front porches to hangout. Also we stayed in shape by getting up and changing the channel on TV. Considering there was only 5 stations. As I type from my phone 😉
Remember when you were a kid in the 70's outside in the summer playing all day with neighborhood kids and your mom called you in for lunch or dinner and you got all mad because you didn't want to go ? I can't be the only one.
Yes he is. Truly amazing how much more help he has been in my life than my actual Primary care Physician. She tried to get me to have bariatric surgery, which thankfully my insurance company denied. Listening to Dr Fung, Dr Berg, Dr Berry and Dr Cywes on UA-cam have probably saved my life.
A few years ago my husband quit his job to retrain - we went to living on one wage, mine. So pretty much overnight we stopped all eating out and takeaways. It meant we ate earlier in the evening as well as eating less processed food because we weren't waiting for deliveries. I had our third child 6 months ago and I'm slimmer than when we got married. Time restricted feeding using real foods works!
We didn't call it time restricted or intermittent fasting in the 70's because it was normal. I was 6'6" tall and skinny in my teens. At 45 years old my eating habits got terrible. Eating sweets, fries, and processed foods all day. I ballooned up to almost 300 pounds over a 10 year period. Last year I got tired of being overweight and decided one monday morning things were going to change. One year later I am a healthy 212 pounds.
Congratulations on all the good things. Please detail the postpartum weight loss details despite three kids. Also I ask politely but does some loose skin or flab or distension of belly remain? And what is truly astonishing is you say you are slimmer than when you got married. May I assume you were quite bigger back then, or are you objectively in decent feminine shape now. Please advice. Asking sincerely for someone really important to me. Thank you. :)
Girl you need a better husband. You deserve better. If you have to create 3 kids AND earn the household income to support your kids, your husband is useless. Get a cat to cuddle instead.
It is incredible how following Dr Fung's videos has made such an impact in my life. I'm a male in my 50's and I have been gaining weight to the excess of 30 pounds which sent my blood pressure off the roof and I started having difficulty breathing doing simple things I did before effortlessly. After watching these videos I decided the one a day meal fasting might work for me because I leave for work before 7am and come back home around 6pm to have dinner with my family. In just a week I have lost 7 pounds and my energy level is off the roof. I feel great and I'm planning on keeping this regimen for the rest of my life or at least until I lose 20 more pounds. Lol. Thank you Dr. Fung. You made losing weight logic and simple for all.
Great video, thank you dr Fung. I grew up in the 70’s too. I was always outside playing: hopscotch, french skipping (elastic bands linked together!), on my bike, rope skipping, playing rounders on the green, taking the dog with me across the fields behind our house (now a housing estate)! We didn’t snack either, just 3 meals. Everything seemed to be in moderation, even a balance btw work/family life (my parents had a very tight budget, and I know they both went without a lot)! We had fish n chips on a Friday, dinner was followed by a small pudding, and cake on Sunday’s, ALL homemade. I was a slim child well into my twenties. I remember Mum saying the kitchen was ‘closed’ after dinner (6pm). We didn’t eat again until around 8 a.m, then I walked to school. A great CHILDhood! We live in a very different culture now. Thanks for the walk down ‘memory lane’. And thank you especially, to my incredible, blessed parents, both now in heaven and missed very much.
Oh wow! I've never heard of French skipping, but when you mentioned elastic bands, a long lost (and very fuzzy) memory came back. So I did a search for French skipping and found that it is known by many different names...we called it Chinese jump rope. I had completely forgotten about it...I'm a child of the 60's. Now im IN my 60's!😄😄 I'll be looking for videos of demonstrations, because I honestly can't even remember how it was played. I know I liked it, though. Thanks for dusting off my memory cells.👍🏻😁
Amen. I remember the same. Wow. I walked to school, played when I got home. Rode a bike & swam. We ate 3 meals daily… with eggs & meat, salad with mayo. My school did not have vending machines. We didn’t eat at the movies. This is a shocking reminder! I remember “the kitchen is closed” also😂
Exactly Jason. We ate three meals per day. No snacking after dinner. No snacking in between. We did 12-14 hours of intermittent fasting every night and we didn't even know it! There were only 4 chubby kids in my entire elementary school! Wake up America.
Jason is Absolutely right! That's how we ate! A couple of things I clearly remember my mum saying: "don't spoil your dinner" "no eating away from the table" "you already had dinner"
Yes!! LOL!!! That’s so true…you already had dinner!!! My children think that 3-4 hours after dinner warrants a snack!! I would tell them that they already ate-next time you need to put more on your plate and then I started preparing more items for dinner (just in case them being teenage boys warranted more food). When my sister is around she says that I’m starving them and feels I’m taking their childhood away because I don’t but juice and snacks-I keep food around and tell them to fix a plate if they are hungry in the afternoon. Most times they don’t bother-they just wanted some junk food. BTW my children are slender with flat stomachs and my sis is 100 pounds overweight…along with my nephew.
I had to laugh at the "keep it boring" hack. I have another: brush your teeth. It's an old Richard Simmons tip and it works for me. Sometimes I am simply bored NOT eating, but before uselessly breaking my fast, I'll thoroughly brush, floss, water pik and rinse with mouthwash. A clean mouth keeps me from eating when I'm not even hungry.😁
Truth. I ate only chicken breast for lunch and ate chicken breast and spinach for dinner and drank water and Diet Pepsi and did IF 16/8 and I lost 17 pounds in 4 weeks. 20 pounds is all I had to lose. How’s that for boring? 😂
Dr., you’re so good at what you do, and the way you deliver your message. Nobody does it like you, with the clarity you provide in your teaching. It’s like you keep pounding the message until we understand. That’s the mark of the best teacher I ever had. So many feel that you are right there with them when they engage in whatever weight loss journey they think could be right for them. You provide unbelievable support and make us feel like, YES…WE can ACTUALLY fast! So many of us NEVER would have even thought about fasting before you came along, much less actually done it! You really are to be commended for what you’re doing for people the world over. Thank you, thank you for MAKING us understand the truth behind our bodies and our weight.
One really important thing Dr Fung doesn't call out specifically is drinks, but I think that's been a HUGE factor. Limiting the number of times you eat per day is great, but if you're sipping sweetened beverages all day it won't make any difference - you're just keeping your insulin sky high at all times. Switch to water, unsweetened tea, herbal infusions, etc!
@@aalegalfocus it's all about the money. MONEY IS THE GREED OF ALL EVIL. Life does not matter when it comes to profits in business affairs. They know sugar is the major cause of health issues face today but nothing is being done to educate people about it. Money talks and people maybe dying but that don't matter. We kill each other for greed, money, and power.
I think what people need to realize with respect to any drink that's not water or plain coffee/tea, is that if you're drinking it, you're actually eating. You look at a lot of the drinks in a place like Starbucks, they're just liquid dessert, and the equivalent of a rather large meal, without any of the nutrients. It doesn't help with your hunger either, so you're basically eating a 4th, 5th meal each day.
I had very old school elderly parents (adopted). I was forced to walk 20 mins back home at lunch time from school to eat a home cooked meal, then walk back fast with my short legs as a child, another 20min (had an hr lunch time!). I wasn't allowed anything in packages, except dry raisins! NO soda either. I hated it, I had no social time with my friends who eat at the cafeteria at school. BUT, they all had health problems too, and overweight or too skinny. My clothing was also restricted, no tight jeans, only loose to preserve my ovaries LOL!! In hindsight now I see that I had a better lifestyle and, in the end, later in life I look younger and better than all of my primary school friends.
I'm 18lbs down (in 3-4 months) using intermittent fasting and a (mostly) whole food diet. I'm now in a healthy weight range. Thank you Dr Jason Fung! **Ladies, if you have a menstrual cycle, remember to weigh yourself in the same part of your cycle so you don't get an unfair reading!
I don't tell myself that I'm fasting, I tell myself that my stomach is either digesting or resting. Psychologically, that works better for me. I don't overeat, just like I don't overfill the tank of my car with gasoline.
People in the 70s weren’t doing “exercise classes” or going to gyms, but they did move around over the course of the day, be it kids walking to & from school, riding bikes for recreation, playing games like Tag!, etc. You’re 100% correct on the frequency with which people now eat out or order food from restaurants. I’m also a kid from the 70s, and going to a restaurant was an occasional treat & a very big deal! Same with the constant snacking, it just didn’t happen back then. If you were hungry between meals, you usually just got a piece of fruit.
Me too born 1960. Three meals a day, whole milk, butter, mayo, bacon and eggs, but my family would not buy sugary cereals. We had to make do with cooked oatmeal (which we covered with brown sugar) or Shredded Wheat. Breakfast was usually light and if you slept in, yeah you missed it. I also walked home for lunch most days and back again. This is true about the snacking. Snacking was something you did on weekends when your parents had people over to play cards.
I’m a 60’s kid, from Russia. The same was true with us, too. Even more. My father used to repeat a popular wise saying: “Eat your breakfast on your own, share your lunch with your friend, and give your dinner to your enemy”. Well, we did eat dinner in our family but it was really small.
I have lost over 54lbs via fasting. I slowly built up from OMAD to 42hr/72 fasts. It's changed my life. I don't obsess about food. I feel amazing, and have found ways to fit it into my life.
I am OMAD and low carb but weight not shifting. I know being sedentary during 15 months of stay home order doesn’t help. I walk 10,000 steps per day, and do some free weights at home. Was 42 / 72 hour fasts the solution? Did you do something else? And how often did you do the longer fast?
@@scubagirl1971 I joined Dr Fungs website The Fasting Method. I was surprised to learn in his program they don't really recommend OMAD, but instead Alternate Day fasting 3 to 4 times a week. Along with eating whole foods, limited sugar and limited refined grains. So I went from OMAD (which I did for about 4 weeks) to alternate day fasting and the weight is melting off. I just make make a fasting plan for the month and make it fit my life. My family and friends have been extremely supportive. I highly recommend joining The Fasting Method and reading all their materials and message boards.
The ‘keep it boring’ is so true, ive started only having rice, steamed fish and veggies every lunch for my omad. I make sure my food is nutritious and not enticing or addictive
I love this guy. My first day was a 16 hour fast. And I was hungry! The beans and rice looked GREAT. By day 4, my stomach had shrunk or so it seemed. And by day 5 it was a one meal a day. But the amazing thing was I didn't miss my snacks. I threw them out and forgot about them. When I think back to how often I was snacking or eating a meal, I am shocked. It was something to do. A commercial was my cue to go to kitchen and get something. I went from 194 to 170 but the best thing was my BP has also dropped by 20 points. I go to bathroom once a night now. Sleep better. And its so nice to have my pants feel comfortable around my skinny waste. I now look at sugar products as poison and am watching the sodium levels. Haven't told doctor yet but have dropped the BP meds. I check my numbers twice a day and actually do not want them any lower. My only meat is tuna or salmon. I have CLL for the second time but am not needing meds yet so any victory at my age is greatly appreciated.
I remember snacking a lot back then but I think I was outside playing so much and running around, riding my bike, running with the dogs out in the country and I didn’t have a cell phone so I was exercising nearly every day much more than the kids of today. So I think cell phones and technology have made us more sedentary.
Children in that era had better metabolism as had adults. There was no where near as much carbohydrates consumed. Even processed foods in that era did not have as much sugar or processed fats in them. People that are physical active for the whole day are going to need 5 or 6 food breaks throughout the day. People that work in an office really should only be eating twice or three times a day. What was very common for my older relatives years ago was three meals a day with a cup of tea in the evening with a small bit of bread/cheese or left over meat. They naturally ate lower calories and less carbohydrates. And they lived a whole life of physical activity and eating less.
@@bighands69 I was more active, way more active but I ate cookies and chips and sugar snacks and home made cake etc. I don’t think it’s one thing but activity for most was more. We were all thin until late 30s in my family
Jason- You are correct, now that I think about it, I was 25 in 1975 and carving out a small homestead. So there was a lot of walking, outside physical activity through work and pleasure. I had horses, gardens, building projects. Yes, often I did not stop to eat lunch if I was in the middle of a project. We did consume a good balance of veggies/dairy/fats/meats, mostly organic. At 72, I am still living that lifestyle, minus the horses, but have slowed down and need to get back into that groove. Need to rev myself up a few knotches! ~ Diane
Growing up in the 60's and 70's with a stay-at-home mom. We were not allowed to eat anything without permission. 3 meals a day and fruit in the summer (swiped off the neighbor's apple tree) or watermelon as a special surprise. Birthday cake and ice cream on birthdays. We could buy penny candy at the general store if we brought a couple of returnable bottles to pay for it but had to walk a couple of miles to get it. LOL We we walked, biked or ran everywhere we needed to go and played outside year round. We were NOT fat.
I’m reading Dr. Fung book An intermittent fasting. It is eye-opening and life-changing. I am up to 19 hours of fasting every day and walking 4 miles and drinking a gallon of water and the difference is palpable. He is spot on when he says it is therapeutic. Thank you Doctor!
In the late 1940s, early 1950s, my sister and I often laid on a blanket under a tree to read a book. We could take a snack sometimes. She and I would cut a head of cabbage in half and eat that while we read. Other times we had an Apple.
Dr. Fung, you have helped me lose weight more than anyone else more than anything else I've tried in my life. I weighed 283 after the pandemic B.S. I was weak and in pain. Now after watching your informative UA-cam videos I understand what to do and I weigh 234. I'm continuing to get rid of fat and I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise. I have less pain and it's easier for me to move, stand up, and complete all the daily tasks and things I need to do everyday. Thanks for being a top notch person! And Dr! God bless you!
Hack number 4. You win the battle of the bulge at the store. If you don't buy it, you won't eat it. I also grew up in the 70's. But my parents gave me and my siblings an afternoon snack and evening snack. So we ate 5 times per day. Snacks were always sugary treats. But we were very physically active and spent a lot of time running around outside. I did not get overweight until I was an adult. I have gone thru phases in my life. Sometimes reading about nutrition and trying to apply info to my life. Earlier this year, I started watching hours of nutrition movies on Prime. Then looked up some of the people from the movies on UA-cam and started watching their videos and reading their info. So much contradictory information, but after hours and hours, I started making sense of it. And I started losing weight. Initially my secret was getting off processed foods. When I was getting off processed foods I had cravings all the time. I fought the cravings with alternative sweet things that were more natural, like trail mix and plain greek yogurt with berries and maple syrup. Once I got off processed foods and my cravings were gone, I started limiting my eating window. Initially did a 18/6, eating twice per day. Then did 23/1 with One Meal A Day. Then I started watching lots of Dr Jason Fung. And I started fasting. Initially I did 48 hour fast. It was amazingly easy for me. I just did a 72 hour fast this past week. It was also easy. I am planning a 96 hour fast this coming week. I expect it to be as simple for me, because I already have the cravings under control. Over the past 3 months I have lost 30 pounds, with 25 of those pounds over the past 2 months. I need to lose 15 to 20 more pounds to be in a healthy range for my size. I will be using fasting along with a low carb diet to get me there. Thank you Dr Jason Fung for providing all the information regarding the benefits of fasting. You have changed my life forever!
I think it's all the snacking. Lots of people are snacking throughout the day. Breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, late night snack. Why the need to snack so much? The food industry promotes this so much, encouraging snacking and normalizing it when it's not necessary unless you have a medical condition.
Just finally finished your book. it's amazing! Been doing 16/8 and a Keto-like diet (Low carb + a few cheats a weeks but not quite as much fat as pure Keto) while reading it and I'm Down 20 pounds in 30 days. I'm only about 10 away from my ideal weight. I'm feeling great. Thanks!
I am on week 3 now f my new life! Fasting had been amazing! I am not eating sugar or carbs , The 1st 5-6 days were the hardest by far after that definitely gets easier down 10lbs only 40 to go! Thank you Jason!
I agree, I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Sweets, chocolate, ice cream, were an occasional treat. The most common English daily drink was a cup of tea, not coffee. My parents grew almost everything they needed, veggies and fruits, except potatoes, because of the space/labour involved. They had a garden and an allotment. My mother cooked every meal, nothing came out of packets. (Some was canned yes, but not packets). I cycled to school. And finally, women didn't work outside the home so much, so they could look after their children's food and health themselves.
I tried fasting 48 hours and I felt amazing. I was expecting to feel lethargic and grumpy but my focus and energy were off the charts! It was like some heavy aura, that I had not noticed before, just lifted.
@@MarkyV83 I quit the fast because I was bored. Hunger was low all throughout. It is interesting to experience "actual" hunger and not just the carb abstinence as well as seeing so clearly how boredom drives most of my bad diet habits.
@@annieabraham8970 Hi...all 3 times 31days consecutively. Record weight loss was 42lbs. Felt very energetic during these fasts. Had trouble sleeping at times because of the elevated energy levels. Worked my way up over the years...Dr. Fung says that the record for fasting is over 380 days!
True story about boring food. During college I ate at the campus cafeteria. I couldn’t afford to go out to eat. At the end of my freshman year I weighed less than when I started college. I escaped the “freshman 10” weight gain. When I moved off campus it was a different story. I am now trying to follow Dr. Fung’s easy to understand advice. Thank you Dr. Fung for all you do!
FINALLY~~a video about weight loss that makes sense. We've had everything from fat free to keto and everything in between shoved down our throats. This makes sense. Thanks.
The hacks are priceless🙏🏻💕I do recall saying to myself "Food is overrated" to control my eyes and brain to want more food! This would help to just feed myself to live... and not live to eat!
It will speed up your metabolism to have a bunch of carbs but not enough to get rid of them all. Your body has to do that to get rid of them or you drop dead. No primitive tribe eats a large amount of carbs, they eat a small amount of total carbs even when the percentage of carbs in diet is high (and it usually is not)
@@LTPottenger Alas, in my case at least, the prescribed approach to "treat" diabetes and a severe autoimmune disease nearly killed me. Not kidding about how grateful I am for finding what worked best to start healing from disease and toxic meds. Finding Dr. Fung and others in the ketogenic space was an eye-opening blessing.
Dr Fung and a few others are informing us in detailed and convincing ways! The result if you follow their advice is nothing short of mind blowing!! Thank you for educating us, Dr Fung! With gratitude!
Thank you Dr Fung for all of your videos. When I first found your videos about a year and a half ago, I thought, finally somebody makes sense. You, Dr Berg, Dr Berry and Dr Cywes have saved my life. I was 300lbs, A1C of 6.5 and just put on Metformin. I also have had a heart attack and have a pacemaker. Since I started watching your videos, I've lost over a hundred pounds, my A1C is down to 5.0 and I feel great. My PCP is in shock. My cardiologist said, whatever your doing, keep doing it. I now eat OMAD and Keto and will never go back to SAD.
Good for you! It’s so sad that those drs you listed couldn’t help get you well. They should be prescribing Dr. Fung videos to their own patients. Keep it up, your best days are ahead and worst days are behind you.
How ignorant of ur cardiologist to not ask WHAT u did to lose the weight. Simply saying "keep doing whatever ur doing" instead of swallowing his pride, maybe he couldve told other patients about ur succes and saved their life. Ugh. So typical.
People also ate together as a family more than we do now. If you're not eating in front of a screen, you're more focused on what you're eating, whether your full/hungry, and the people around you. There's something to be said for rituals and traditions and an obvious connection to connecting with others, but also to our over all health including health weight gain or loss.
Yes, I had that lifestyle he described and was slim. My problems started when my doctor told me that I should be eating six small meals a day to “keep my blood sugar level”.
I'm a 80's kids grow up in the Philippines. I hardly eat because we are poor, I was malnourished and schools have feeding programs for kids like me. We ate rice 3 times a day and our veggies are from my mums garden in the backyard. No take away since there was no take away at all. Our snacks are normally just banana or fruits. And we do a lot of walking, work with our parents. Now I'm in Australia I am obese🙄. Now I'm trying to loss weight and now I just start intermittent fasting it's struggle but I think I can do it.
So true! My mom rarely bought the sugar cereals. Thise were rare treats! Same with eating out, very rare, so would get excited to eat out, it was usually with my grandparents cause my parents didn't have alot of extra money.
I’m 65 and growing up we never got soft drinks unless it was for a birthday party or something like that. I was raised on un sweetened tea and Kool aide. My mom made all our food. Once in a blue moon we might get McDonald’s. We played outside and rode our bikes!
We only had pop at holiday picnics when I was growing up, like the 4th of July or Labor Day. But, even then, before we got any pop, we had to drink a glass of milk first!
Another thing that has changed is that all social events now seem to center around food and there never seems to be any healthy options. Obesity has become a social contagion.
Many healthy societies have social events focused around food. One thing those healthy societies have is their food is focused on fish, non starchy veg and light amounts of fruit.
The snack myth is perpetuated even in the diet industry. Sweet things were only eaten with dinner when I was a kid in the 70s, food was seasonal too so you ate what was in the shops. Less variety of food available too.
We have to realise that the food industry are businesses. They're in it to MAKE money off people. Not to help us. We're bombarded by fast food outlets, cafes, restaurants shops.... Masses of ready made food available now with no input from us other than to wait in a queue. It's absolutely criminal that governments have allowed this to happen to our society. But they get their kickbacks off these food giants in taxes.... It's a billion £$€ industry. Wake up people.
i have young children (begining school next september) and im so thankfull to have found you! I will never pack their lunch with crap! ❤️ + im losing weight and feeling better every day. 16lbs down 😁
A lot of parents can't say no to their kids these days. Not saying no does harm to the child and to the world, kids need to hear no sometimes or they grow up entitled and selfish.
New to the fasting world 🙋🏻♀️ Have only been going a few weeks and have already lost a few pounds. I have followed the 16/8 regimen most days of the week and about once a week I’ve added in a 24 or 36 hour fast. Bone broth has been really helpful when I’ve felt weaker. Excited to learn more and keep going. I have PCOS with insulin resistance and this is one of the only methods that has helped so far to get the weight coming off
I lost weight, kept it off easily, felt amazing from intermittent fasting for 16 hours and eating less carbs. My mistake was ever thinking I could go back to the way I was before and think I could maintain that level of health. I found videos of you being interviewed 4 years ago and I was convinced. I am back now to help me get back on track.
Discos were our saviour during the 70s and 80s non-stop dancing at night - too tired or running late for work the following morning we skipped breakfast - we were intermittent fasting without realising it - lunch was often the only daily staple meal - I often did days/week long juice fasting for health reasons - now we eat out of boredom, socialising, emotional or for taste only
You are so right! I grew up in the 60/70s and I don't remember hardly ever eating a breakfast (except with Saturday morning cartoons!). On Friday and Saturday nites I made myself a pizza (home-made), french fries or frozen banquet chicken and watched TV from 7pm to 1am (when stations did their sign-offs!). Oh, and I also walked everywhere!
So just to be sure, if I ate at 6am today I can't eat again until 6pm tomorrow evening? And can you drink anything, apart from water, during that time?
@@gkm3838 you can drink 0 calorie drinks like tea and coffee (black). But when you do eat, make sure you eat enough (especially protein and fats) to hold off hunger like he says in the video.
@@gkm3838 Don't eat right before or after bed, the whole point is to skip entire days of food. After dinner tonight, don't eat tomorrow at all. It's that simple.
I grew up from the 50's and my kids in the 70's and you are right. We ate 3 squares, no eating outside of the specified times and it was rare to see overweight kids and people in your neighborhood. Plus we didn't have all that processed food and NO high fructose corn syrup or seed oils in our foods. Food was not the center of attention back then. We used lard for frying and baking, much healthier.
Excellent episode, Dr. Fung! Your book about fasting changed my life! So glad that you are on UA-cam sharing your knowledge and experience with the world!
i was surprised and delighted because I have been thinking about what is different now and in 70's when I always weighed 120 # at 5ft6in, he's right ! I had one piece of dry toast at brkfst, maybe lunch as he said or maybe skip and thendinner. nothing after 6pm. luv the fat transition tip because I snack all the time. Thnx!!!
He’s so right. I was NEVER allowed in the kitchen between meals not even after school. The only time I ate a snack after school was if mom wasn’t there but she always made sure she was at that time of day. We literally got in trouble if we were caught going in the cupboards. My mom made us wait until dinner.
Time restricted eating and eating whole foods works. My husband and I can attest to it, we have lost over 100 lbs collectively in 20 months. Hubby went from 315 lbs to 230 lbs, he is 6’2. I went from 176 to 148, and I’m 5’3”. We have cheat meals, we drink wine occasionally, we go to social events and have cheat meals there, or on vacation we do a lot of cheat meals and drinking. Even with that we are able to lose the weight back because we restrict our eating timeframe, sometimes we do OMAD (one meal a day), and we eat whole foods (meaning we cook our meals, but a good portion of it is uncooked, like salads or fresh veggies). We are actually on vacation now in Maui, and we’ve been eating out half the time, drinking way too much wine, and I can tell the difference in my energy, my mood. Looking forward to coming home, going back on the routine, and really going hard on the restricted time eating and cooking/making all our meals (with the exception of events), also going dry (no alcohol) until our 40th bdays in about 2.5 months, we really want to have optimal healthy going into our 40s.
Your story resonated with me. I hear you're succeeding with TRE and OMD, at home, with occasional "cheating" meals which I take to be special occasions maybe with each other or friends. I do this too. What stands out to me is: why can't we stick with TRE and OMD even when on vacation? What is compelling is to over-indulge and overeat when away from our routine? You even said you can't wait to get back to your routine because you had low energy and weren't feeling well. Why Do We Do This To Ourselves? I do this too and don't understand the compulsion and lack of control managing my TRE and OMD when away from home. Congrats with your successes! Wish me luck with mine. I've lost 20# and have maintained it for 6+ months. Now I'm looking for that kick-in-the-rear to lose the remain 25. Fasting Rocks!!
I am 63 and listened to a lot of smart guys …. Few would really be what I call fascinating. You’d be one Jason. I admire your taking in the establishment . I am really interested with that part of Christianity. Christ doing same thing. Walking his own way. In country music Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson became themselves by doing same thing. In my thinking and writing I have done it for years. Lonely place at time , totally worth it. Keep up the good work ! I am revisiting your material now because it is lent and I am doing a keto diet w a coach. Your material is honestly over their heads but will be invaluable for me over next 37 days as I refresh my concept of “ when “ I eat . Blessings from green valley AZ! And thank you for your beautiful contributions to our world .
Thank you... this advice has helped me so much .... down 35 pounds now... it’s staying off and I don’t work that hard for it either. I do however eat one meal a day and my energy is great. What a difference you have made Dr Fung! I am so grateful to you... best news ...my Dr asked me how I lost the weight ( being hypothyroid and hysterectomy and all I should be struggling with the best of them right?) I was... but not anymore! This is crazy how our Dr’s do not tell this simple change ... it’s so healthy and helpful to make this change in your life. At least my Dr was open to getting my information so she can pass it on to her other patients who are struggling. I was so happy to hear that. She is a young Dr too ... I told her to tell her patients to watch Dr Jason Fung videos and I MADE NO APOLOGIES FOR THAT ADVICE EITHER! At least she was interested and I told her she might be the first Dr to see results drug free from her patients! I have been the example you talk about Dr Fung so my circle of friends can see the difference! You are a hero in my circle! Thank you! Just ...THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The average Doctor prescribes medication out of need and for Big Pharma. They get free samples from drug companies all the time to use on 'Guinea Pig' patients.
I love that you went to grade 13 Dr. Fung:) Food was better tasting back in the 70's, mum's were home and there was more homemade meals.. I am addicted to your channel, glad I found you. I need help with weight loss, it's really bringing me down:(
Just sharing from a regular guy starting at a relatively good level: I am very little overweight, 61 m, bodyfat around 24. Blood pressure and pulse ideal. So no need for drastic weight or fat loss but my goal is bodyfat around 20, which seems optimal for my age. I started IF 12/12, stopped sweets, low carb, more fat and protein, little healthy snacking, good sleep, 2-3 moderate strength workouts at home, 1-2 fitness trails, additional walking and core and mobility training, often just short sessions. No alcohol at all of course, never was much anyway. My wasteline is moving, weight loss slow but happening, energy level very good, mood also. I take blood test 1-2 a year. I might move to IF 14/10, maybe 16/8, but doubt I can or need to do long fasting, while for many people this is probably more helpful. Thank you.
I ate the same lunch for 8 years. Steaming hot white rice, chilli chicken, coconut milk spicy gravy, lots of raw vegetables as condiments. I craved this lunch everyday for years. I didn't get tired of it. I suppose I should opt for something less interesting and stick to it so that I can learn the meaning of getting bored of my daily meals.
Check out my take on why unprocessed foods are so unhealthy - ua-cam.com/video/FPfE-D_53uU/v-deo.html
you sure you mean ‚unprocessed foods are unhealthy‘? 😳
@@paperjourni8964 Is Homer Simpson posing as Jason Fung here? 🍔 🍟 🌭 🍕
Can i lose weight while fasting with no exercise??
Definetly a typo. Funny the editing team haven't caught that. 😋
@Jason Fung …
you have a pretty serious typo “(un)processed foods are so unhealthy” - it should read “processed or ultra processed foods…etc)
Me personally, I started losing the most weight after reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, a few things you are mentioning in this video are also in the book
I was born in 1959, a teenager in the 70's. We didn't think about food. Seriously, it was something you had to stop what you were doing, interrupt your life, to sit and eat at the table with the family, then do more chores before you went to bed. If you didn't get lunch, oh well, you were busy. If you were slow getting up in the morning and your brother and 4 sisters got all the oatmeal, chances are you had to walk to school without breakfast, and well, tough luck there. Then the brown bag at lunch or you walked back home, grabbed that sandwich you showed and walked back to school. I like a lot of pickles on my bolagna sandwiches.
OMG. So true! Eating used to be something we had to stop what we were doing .. an interruption to actually sit down with others and eat. :D Very well stated!!
The infamous line mom's every where would say...." no snacking , you'll spoil your dinner" .😊❤
I'm in week 4 of OMD, low carbs, zero sugar and better food. I'm off of insulin and oral diabetes medication. The biggest surprise was my blood pressure which fell quite a bit. Jason and others on the internet have done me more good than 20 years of primary care physicians and endocrinologists. I wish I had started sooner.
Also, I've lost 15 lbs and I'm more active. Still working on exercise, it has been a struggle.
@@johnmorrison2226 Keep up the good work. 😊
Nice to hear, good luck 👍
congrats!!! :)
Lower blood pressure- good deal.less med is always a good thing.plus I can observe, u prob feel better.
I think people need to recognise what true hunger feels like, it is different to a craving, boredom, habit, social pressure. Plus realise that it is ok to be hungry sometimes, it is normal and healthy.
You're right. It's not starvation when you've had a meal a few hours ago and your stomach is no longer full.
The psychological factor goes much further than boredom, habit or social pressure. To many of us, food is a 'mother'-we eat to soothe stress, pain, fatigue, anything. Real hunger and addiction hunger are nothing against the need to compensate.
So true! Also, for a lot of people emotional pain is felt in the region of the solar plexus and this is easily confused with hunger. (Realised this years ago when dealing with a break up)
@@sebastienchamarande5710 agreed. But I just summarised a few points into illustrate the point that social, emotional ans behavioural factors can subconsciously influence the way we eat.
@@benjaminhill01 yep. And when it's nearly dinner time and you are really hungry but save yourself for the meal. Or learn that you don't have to feel stuffed to be satisfied post-meal
The diet industry wants us all to believe that this is super complex. I love how Dr Fung helps us see that it is actually very simple.
Diet industry wants to make money. As Karl Marx said, There is no such crime that capital would not go for the profit. But they are dumb killing us in the process. They can make a sh@t load of money differently.
It's funny when you think about it because it seems we dig ourselves deeper and deeper in search of the cure for being fat. All the while people were rarely fat for hundreds of thousands of years with 0 research or attempt. Sure, most would say the caloric intake was lower but from years of experimenting it seems clear to me that the Randle cycle and carb addiction (which causes snacking) is the issue.
It is simple and always has been. If you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. However that holds people personally accountable and doesn't sell books or plans or dietary supplements very well.
So does the FITNESS industry.
@@Ryan_DeWitt But it isn't just "calories in, calories out". How could it be?
What you eat affects your body. How do you know how many calories your body uses each day? Also, a calorie is not necessarily equal to another calorie when it comes to measuring energy content in the food. How is the "calories in, calories out" useful (assuming that it is actually true)?
I grew up in the 70's too. Portion sizes are much bigger these days than they were then.
Recently read his book Obesity Code. At 53, with no exercise (have a foot injury currently) I'm going to hit a 20 pound weight loss inside of 6 weeks. Just two more to go.
I've adjusted to the change and love it. Doesn't feel like a diet or suffering. No post meal crash after eating lunch. I quit grazing and snacks. Mind is clear and sharp all day long. Minor digestion issues and the need for an antiacid before bed are gone. The savings is easily $20/day with today's food prices. Save hundreds a month and lose weight? Win-win. Only wish I learned this much earlier in life.
I was a 70's kid. There were no sodas in people's fridge. Sodas were a special treat. No snack cakes or chocolate in the pantry. Mom on rare occasions made some candy or brownies. Snacking during TV rarely happened because we had 3 channels so watching TV all day was not a thing. When we sat and watched TV as a family, if we ate anything it was popcorn or on special nights we had potato chips and dip. Snacking every day just didn't exist.
Me too we only had cake on a Sunday and that was home made..
90's kid here , was the same , it was all about education and culture , i am not American :P ... We had soda once a year and it was on SPECIAL occasion , actually eating sweet things like candies , cakes and so on , was just done on SPECIAL occasions , and i can tell you it was only like once or twice a year
So true and we were more active. We played outside a lot. We actually had to walk to the TV to change the channel. 😂
Our snacks were from a bushel of apples in season or oranges. Walked everywhere...rain, snow or sun. Always outside playing.
We had soda once a month. We'd all get a single glass each as a treat.
The only cakes we got were at birthdays. Chocolate was only really at Easter. Maybe a few more.trests around Christmas, but that was about it.
Hello, I am French and I bought your books in French. I started the IF (16/8) and I lost more than ten kilos and my weight stabilized. I no longer had cravings, I no longer snacked between meals. I only ate at 12 o'clock 'am) and 17 o'clock (pm). I wanted to consult a dietician and in France the doctors are eager to make us have breakfast because they say that it is essential .... my kilos have returned! I have to start all over again. My body reacts very well to the 16/8. Thank you for your books and videos. Cheers from la France in Europe! Be blessed!
Dr.J. Fung is the best doctor in World .He deserves Noble Prize for saving life of hundreds of diabetes patients.

Remember what you eat and how you eat plays a big role. Now to the three Hacks..
1. Keep it Boring (eat natural foods not processed foods).
2. Fat fasting..(allow a period of very high fat foods)
3. Exercise. (Huge benefit is that it takes your mind off food)
Final tip - don’t eat all the time.
Exercise makes me hyper hungry 🙁
How long can I fat fast?
I am in fat burn mode but not dropping lbs. I’m at 1200 calories a day. Female 62, 158 lbs. weight doesn’t budge and I exercise daily
@@christinegauthier591 sounds like me have been intermiting fasting for over a year Still obese
Sounds like you’re not eating enough calories so your body is holding on. Up the calories and see what happens
I was a kid in the 70s too. My Mom would say after dinner, “back away from the trough. The kitchen is closed. Do not come back until 7 AM tomorrow.” It sounds funny but she was serious.
I was a young mom in the 70’s and I used to say “kitchen’s closed!”
My mum use to say kitchen's closed too, I'm a 80s kid.
Growing up in the 70s as well, being poor, we at lunch (at school) and dinner whatever Mom cooked. In-between, we played outside and was more curious on how the world worked. That was a time where houses had front porches to hangout. Also we stayed in shape by getting up and changing the channel on TV. Considering there was only 5 stations. As I type from my phone 😉
Kids played Outdoors a Heck of a lot more back then, most times it was for hours and hours....... Yup, A LOT More!!!😜
Same 😂😂 thats crazy.
All this is true
LOL
Remember when you were a kid in the 70's outside in the summer playing all day with neighborhood kids and your mom called you in for lunch or dinner and you got all mad because you didn't want to go ? I can't be the only one.
“The government didn’t tell you what to eat. Your MOM told you what to eat.” That made me laugh aloud for so many reasons.
Also high fructose corn syrup wasn't in everything we ate. Now it's in everything.
This right here.
god im bullish on luna
I bought some beef jerky that was sugar coated. It's everywhere.
Bingo. 👍❤🙂🐶
Watch the documentary called "King Corn". It's a very revealing look at why high fructose corn syrup is being loaded into so many foods.
Jason Fung is a godsend.
Yes he is. Truly amazing how much more help he has been in my life than my actual Primary care Physician. She tried to get me to have bariatric surgery, which thankfully my insurance company denied. Listening to Dr Fung, Dr Berg, Dr Berry and Dr Cywes on UA-cam have probably saved my life.
Indeed..God sent
A few years ago my husband quit his job to retrain - we went to living on one wage, mine. So pretty much overnight we stopped all eating out and takeaways. It meant we ate earlier in the evening as well as eating less processed food because we weren't waiting for deliveries. I had our third child 6 months ago and I'm slimmer than when we got married. Time restricted feeding using real foods works!
We didn't call it time restricted or intermittent fasting in the 70's because it was normal. I was 6'6" tall and skinny in my teens. At 45 years old my eating habits got terrible. Eating sweets, fries, and processed foods all day. I ballooned up to almost 300 pounds over a 10 year period. Last year I got tired of being overweight and decided one monday morning things were going to change. One year later I am a healthy 212 pounds.
Congratulations on all the good things. Please detail the postpartum weight loss details despite three kids. Also I ask politely but does some loose skin or flab or distension of belly remain? And what is truly astonishing is you say you are slimmer than when you got married. May I assume you were quite bigger back then, or are you objectively in decent feminine shape now. Please advice. Asking sincerely for someone really important to me. Thank you. :)
Girl you need a better husband. You deserve better. If you have to create 3 kids AND earn the household income to support your kids, your husband is useless. Get a cat to cuddle instead.
It is incredible how following Dr Fung's videos has made such an impact in my life. I'm a male in my 50's and I have been gaining weight to the excess of 30 pounds which sent my blood pressure off the roof and I started having difficulty breathing doing simple things I did before effortlessly. After watching these videos I decided the one a day meal fasting might work for me because I leave for work before 7am and come back home around 6pm to have dinner with my family. In just a week I have lost 7 pounds and my energy level is off the roof. I feel great and I'm planning on keeping this regimen for the rest of my life or at least until I lose 20 more pounds. Lol. Thank you Dr. Fung. You made losing weight logic and simple for all.
Great video, thank you dr Fung. I grew up in the 70’s too. I was always outside playing: hopscotch, french skipping (elastic bands linked together!), on my bike, rope skipping, playing rounders on the green, taking the dog with me across the fields behind our house (now a housing estate)! We didn’t snack either, just 3 meals. Everything seemed to be in moderation, even a balance btw work/family life (my parents had a very tight budget, and I know they both went without a lot)! We had fish n chips on a Friday, dinner was followed by a small pudding, and cake on Sunday’s, ALL homemade. I was a slim child well into my twenties. I remember Mum saying the kitchen was ‘closed’ after dinner (6pm). We didn’t eat again until around 8 a.m, then I walked to school. A great CHILDhood! We live in a very different culture now. Thanks for the walk down ‘memory lane’. And thank you especially, to my incredible, blessed parents, both now in heaven and missed very much.
Oh wow!
I've never heard of French skipping, but when you mentioned elastic bands, a long lost (and very fuzzy) memory came back.
So I did a search for French skipping and found that it is known by many different names...we called it Chinese jump rope.
I had completely forgotten about it...I'm a child of the 60's. Now im IN my 60's!😄😄
I'll be looking for videos of demonstrations, because I honestly can't even remember how it was played. I know I liked it, though.
Thanks for dusting off my memory cells.👍🏻😁
@@jaytee2642 I loved Chinese Jump rope!!
Amazing story!!! This is how we all grown up before 90’s.. I am very very sad to see sick and fat kids now. I hope that society wake up!
So true❤
Amen. I remember the same. Wow. I walked to school, played when I got home. Rode a bike & swam. We ate 3 meals daily… with eggs & meat, salad with mayo. My school did not have vending machines. We didn’t eat at the movies. This is a shocking reminder! I remember “the kitchen is closed” also😂
Exactly Jason. We ate three meals per day. No snacking after dinner. No snacking in between. We did 12-14 hours of intermittent fasting every night and we didn't even know it! There were only 4 chubby kids in my entire elementary school! Wake up America.
In 7th grade I could still fit into my favorite skirt from grade 1😊😊😊😊 it's one of a very few Lil kid things I still have😊
Jason is Absolutely right! That's how we ate! A couple of things I clearly remember my mum saying: "don't spoil your dinner" "no eating away from the table" "you already had dinner"
Good! Also no getting into the fridge after lunch. Go outside and play.
and "wait until breakfast" and "go outside and play, or just sit there, but get out of the kitchen" I was a scrawny kid. we ALL were!
We only had dessert on Sunday's and my mom made something from scratch. Cookies, pie, cake. One serving and that was it.
Yes!! LOL!!! That’s so true…you already had dinner!!! My children think that 3-4 hours after dinner warrants a snack!! I would tell them that they already ate-next time you need to put more on your plate and then I started preparing more items for dinner (just in case them being teenage boys warranted more food). When my sister is around she says that I’m starving them and feels I’m taking their childhood away because I don’t but juice and snacks-I keep food around and tell them to fix a plate if they are hungry in the afternoon. Most times they don’t bother-they just wanted some junk food. BTW my children are slender with flat stomachs and my sis is 100 pounds overweight…along with my nephew.
@@red5462 I love this tradition.
I had to laugh at the "keep it boring" hack. I have another: brush your teeth. It's an old Richard Simmons tip and it works for me. Sometimes I am simply bored NOT eating, but before uselessly breaking my fast, I'll thoroughly brush, floss, water pik and rinse with mouthwash. A clean mouth keeps me from eating when I'm not even hungry.😁
I've done that, too!
That has worked for me too. Not when I'm really hungry, but when I'm craving a snack.
Whoa! I never thought of that. That is a great hack I’ve got to try 🤩🙌
Truth. I ate only chicken breast for lunch and ate chicken breast and spinach for dinner and drank water and Diet Pepsi and did IF 16/8 and I lost 17 pounds in 4 weeks. 20 pounds is all I had to lose. How’s that for boring? 😂
That's what people with eating disorders do
Dr., you’re so good at what you do, and the way you deliver your message. Nobody does it like you, with the clarity you provide in your teaching. It’s like you keep pounding the message until we understand. That’s the mark of the best teacher I ever had. So many feel that you are right there with them when they engage in whatever weight loss journey they think could be right for them. You provide unbelievable support and make us feel like, YES…WE can ACTUALLY fast! So many of us NEVER would have even thought about fasting before you came along, much less actually done it! You really are to be commended for what you’re doing for people the world over. Thank you, thank you for MAKING us understand the truth behind our bodies and our weight.
Every word you said is so true!
Totally agree ☺️
Dr berry
One really important thing Dr Fung doesn't call out specifically is drinks, but I think that's been a HUGE factor. Limiting the number of times you eat per day is great, but if you're sipping sweetened beverages all day it won't make any difference - you're just keeping your insulin sky high at all times. Switch to water, unsweetened tea, herbal infusions, etc!
Water, tea, or coffee works great! I avoid anything sweet or sugar bc your blood glucose will spike high.
Definitely. The popularity of Starbucks drinks & bubble tea has really increased the amount of sugar & calories we drink.
@@aalegalfocus it's all about the money. MONEY IS THE GREED OF ALL EVIL. Life does not matter when it comes to profits in business affairs. They know sugar is the major cause of health issues face today but nothing is being done to educate people about it. Money talks and people maybe dying but that don't matter. We kill each other for greed, money, and power.
I think what people need to realize with respect to any drink that's not water or plain coffee/tea, is that if you're drinking it, you're actually eating. You look at a lot of the drinks in a place like Starbucks, they're just liquid dessert, and the equivalent of a rather large meal, without any of the nutrients. It doesn't help with your hunger either, so you're basically eating a 4th, 5th meal each day.
Absolutely agree. Don't drink your sugars so to speak
I had very old school elderly parents (adopted). I was forced to walk 20 mins back home at lunch time from school to eat a home cooked meal, then walk back fast with my short legs as a child, another 20min (had an hr lunch time!). I wasn't allowed anything in packages, except dry raisins! NO soda either. I hated it, I had no social time with my friends who eat at the cafeteria at school. BUT, they all had health problems too, and overweight or too skinny. My clothing was also restricted, no tight jeans, only loose to preserve my ovaries LOL!! In hindsight now I see that I had a better lifestyle and, in the end, later in life I look younger and better than all of my primary school friends.
I'm 18lbs down (in 3-4 months) using intermittent fasting and a (mostly) whole food diet. I'm now in a healthy weight range. Thank you Dr Jason Fung! **Ladies, if you have a menstrual cycle, remember to weigh yourself in the same part of your cycle so you don't get an unfair reading!
I don't tell myself that I'm fasting, I tell myself that my stomach is either digesting or resting. Psychologically, that works better for me. I don't overeat, just like I don't overfill the tank of my car with gasoline.
People in the 70s weren’t doing “exercise classes” or going to gyms, but they did move around over the course of the day, be it kids walking to & from school, riding bikes for recreation, playing games like Tag!, etc.
You’re 100% correct on the frequency with which people now eat out or order food from restaurants. I’m also a kid from the 70s, and going to a restaurant was an occasional treat & a very big deal! Same with the constant snacking, it just didn’t happen back then. If you were hungry between meals, you usually just got a piece of fruit.
Me too born 1960. Three meals a day, whole milk, butter, mayo, bacon and eggs, but my family would not buy sugary cereals. We had to make do with cooked oatmeal (which we covered with brown sugar) or Shredded Wheat. Breakfast was usually light and if you slept in, yeah you missed it. I also walked home for lunch most days and back again. This is true about the snacking. Snacking was something you did on weekends when your parents had people over to play cards.
He's so right! In the 70s, no one ate between meals, and no one had 'seconds'..... ( Second helpings).
I’m a 60’s kid, from Russia. The same was true with us, too. Even more. My father used to repeat a popular wise saying: “Eat your breakfast on your own, share your lunch with your friend, and give your dinner to your enemy”. Well, we did eat dinner in our family but it was really small.
Interesting ..
That was brilliant quote mate.
That is such an interesting saying!
I heard those Russians would drink their breakfast, lunch and supper then and now😚
That's funny, in Dutch there's a similar saying: "Eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a prince, and eat dinner like a beggar".
I have lost over 54lbs via fasting. I slowly built up from OMAD to 42hr/72 fasts. It's changed my life. I don't obsess about food. I feel amazing, and have found ways to fit it into my life.
Happy for you Lauren! I’m think I’m getting more done; less time shopping for food, less time preparing and cleaning.
Hey beautiful ❤️🌹?
Hope you having a great day
I am OMAD and low carb but weight not shifting. I know being sedentary during 15 months of stay home order doesn’t help. I walk 10,000 steps per day, and do some free weights at home. Was 42 / 72 hour fasts the solution? Did you do something else? And how often did you do the longer fast?
@@scubagirl1971 I joined Dr Fungs website The Fasting Method. I was surprised to learn in his program they don't really recommend OMAD, but instead Alternate Day fasting 3 to 4 times a week. Along with eating whole foods, limited sugar and limited refined grains. So I went from OMAD (which I did for about 4 weeks) to alternate day fasting and the weight is melting off. I just make make a fasting plan for the month and make it fit my life. My family and friends have been extremely supportive. I highly recommend joining The Fasting Method and reading all their materials and message boards.
@@scubagirl1971 I did, please you sound nice. Who are you please
I remember those days no snacking lots of sunshine, thank you Dr Fung💞
The ‘keep it boring’ is so true, ive started only having rice, steamed fish and veggies every lunch for my omad. I make sure my food is nutritious and not enticing or addictive
Dr Jason Fung..needs an award for the lives he has changed..he provides simple free info....to better your health
I love this guy. My first day was a 16 hour fast. And I was hungry! The beans and rice looked GREAT. By day 4, my stomach had shrunk or so it seemed. And by day 5 it was a one meal a day. But the amazing thing was I didn't miss my snacks. I threw them out and forgot about them. When I think back to how often I was snacking or eating a meal, I am shocked. It was something to do. A commercial was my cue to go to kitchen and get something. I went from 194 to 170 but the best thing was my BP has also dropped by 20 points. I go to bathroom once a night now. Sleep better. And its so nice to have my pants feel comfortable around my skinny waste. I now look at sugar products as poison and am watching the sodium levels. Haven't told doctor yet but have dropped the BP meds. I check my numbers twice a day and actually do not want them any lower. My only meat is tuna or salmon. I have CLL for the second time but am not needing meds yet so any victory at my age is greatly appreciated.
You can always snack on boil eggs, nuts, veggies etc.
“ Keep it boring”, loved this, and sooo true!!!! Great info and advice. Thanks for all you do Dr. Fung.
That was mind opening for me. It makes so much sense.
I remember snacking a lot back then but I think I was outside playing so much and running around, riding my bike, running with the dogs out in the country and I didn’t have a cell phone so I was exercising nearly every day much more than the kids of today. So I think cell phones and technology have made us more sedentary.
I was a candy monster....
There was a lot more walking in those days too. Most families only had one car.
Me too. Chips. Cookies. Homemade cake. But I ran all day outside
Children in that era had better metabolism as had adults. There was no where near as much carbohydrates consumed. Even processed foods in that era did not have as much sugar or processed fats in them.
People that are physical active for the whole day are going to need 5 or 6 food breaks throughout the day. People that work in an office really should only be eating twice or three times a day.
What was very common for my older relatives years ago was three meals a day with a cup of tea in the evening with a small bit of bread/cheese or left over meat. They naturally ate lower calories and less carbohydrates. And they lived a whole life of physical activity and eating less.
@@bighands69 I was more active, way more active but I ate cookies and chips and sugar snacks and home made cake etc. I don’t think it’s one thing but activity for most was more. We were all thin until late 30s in my family
Best tip I learned from Dr Jason is to keep my meals boring and it worked for me, I no longer eat a lot.
Jason- You are correct, now that I think about it, I was 25 in 1975 and carving out a small homestead. So there was a lot of walking, outside physical activity through work and pleasure. I had horses, gardens, building projects. Yes, often I did not stop to eat lunch if I was in the middle of a project. We did consume a good balance of veggies/dairy/fats/meats, mostly organic. At 72, I am still living that lifestyle, minus the horses, but have slowed down and need to get back into that groove. Need to rev myself up a few knotches! ~ Diane
Growing up in the 60's and 70's with a stay-at-home mom. We were not allowed to eat anything without permission. 3 meals a day and fruit in the summer (swiped off the neighbor's apple tree) or watermelon as a special surprise. Birthday cake and ice cream on birthdays. We could buy penny candy at the general store if we brought a couple of returnable bottles to pay for it but had to walk a couple of miles to get it. LOL We we walked, biked or ran everywhere we needed to go and played outside year round. We were NOT fat.
What an amazing and humble person this doctor is. God bless him 🙏🌷
I’m reading Dr. Fung book An intermittent fasting. It is eye-opening and life-changing. I am up to 19 hours of fasting every day and walking 4 miles and drinking a gallon of water and the difference is palpable. He is spot on when he says it is therapeutic. Thank you Doctor!
In the late 1940s, early 1950s, my sister and I often laid on a blanket under a tree to read a book. We could take a snack sometimes. She and I would cut a head of cabbage in half and eat that while we read. Other times we had an Apple.
You painted a lovely picture with the way you wrote this I could visualize it quite vividly. Thanks for sharing.
How did that cabbage taste? I can't imagine a kid from today snacking on veg!
I can’t imagine snacking on a raw cabbage! Healthy as it may be. 😄
Simpler times though, food wise and in every other way.
Growing up, I knew a girl that ate raw onions like they were apples!
Now kids also have An Apple, the iPhone version.
Dr. Fung, you have helped me lose weight more than anyone else more than anything else I've tried in my life. I weighed 283 after the pandemic B.S. I was weak and in pain. Now after watching your informative UA-cam videos I understand what to do and I weigh 234. I'm continuing to get rid of fat and I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise. I have less pain and it's easier for me to move, stand up, and complete all the daily tasks and things I need to do everyday. Thanks for being a top notch person! And Dr! God bless you!
Hack number 4. You win the battle of the bulge at the store. If you don't buy it, you won't eat it.
I also grew up in the 70's. But my parents gave me and my siblings an afternoon snack and evening snack. So we ate 5 times per day. Snacks were always sugary treats. But we were very physically active and spent a lot of time running around outside. I did not get overweight until I was an adult.
I have gone thru phases in my life. Sometimes reading about nutrition and trying to apply info to my life. Earlier this year, I started watching hours of nutrition movies on Prime. Then looked up some of the people from the movies on UA-cam and started watching their videos and reading their info. So much contradictory information, but after hours and hours, I started making sense of it. And I started losing weight.
Initially my secret was getting off processed foods. When I was getting off processed foods I had cravings all the time. I fought the cravings with alternative sweet things that were more natural, like trail mix and plain greek yogurt with berries and maple syrup. Once I got off processed foods and my cravings were gone, I started limiting my eating window. Initially did a 18/6, eating twice per day. Then did 23/1 with One Meal A Day. Then I started watching lots of Dr Jason Fung. And I started fasting. Initially I did 48 hour fast. It was amazingly easy for me. I just did a 72 hour fast this past week. It was also easy. I am planning a 96 hour fast this coming week. I expect it to be as simple for me, because I already have the cravings under control.
Over the past 3 months I have lost 30 pounds, with 25 of those pounds over the past 2 months. I need to lose 15 to 20 more pounds to be in a healthy range for my size. I will be using fasting along with a low carb diet to get me there. Thank you Dr Jason Fung for providing all the information regarding the benefits of fasting. You have changed my life forever!
'keep it boring' is the best advice. this is a feature of staying slim, not a bug
I think it's all the snacking. Lots of people are snacking throughout the day. Breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, late night snack. Why the need to snack so much? The food industry promotes this so much, encouraging snacking and normalizing it when it's not necessary unless you have a medical condition.
When I worked in a daycare besides the meals, the kids had a morning and afternoon snack too.
Just finally finished your book. it's amazing! Been doing 16/8 and a Keto-like diet (Low carb + a few cheats a weeks but not quite as much fat as pure Keto) while reading it and I'm Down 20 pounds in 30 days. I'm only about 10 away from my ideal weight. I'm feeling great. Thanks!
I am on week 3 now f my new life! Fasting had been amazing! I am not eating sugar or carbs , The 1st 5-6 days were the hardest by far after that definitely gets easier down 10lbs only 40 to go! Thank you Jason!
I agree, I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Sweets, chocolate, ice cream, were an occasional treat. The most common English daily drink was a cup of tea, not coffee. My parents grew almost everything they needed, veggies and fruits, except potatoes, because of the space/labour involved. They had a garden and an allotment. My mother cooked every meal, nothing came out of packets. (Some was canned yes, but not packets). I cycled to school. And finally, women didn't work outside the home so much, so they could look after their children's food and health themselves.
Ditto
Don’t eat all the time
exercise
fat fasting
keep it simple by eating same foods
@@msmontana1961 you can eat frozen butter chips with Himalayan salt sprinkled on them, coconut oil in coffee, this is what I do.
These hacks work 100%. I wish I had known this stuff when I was young.
I tried fasting 48 hours and I felt amazing. I was expecting to feel lethargic and grumpy but my focus and energy were off the charts!
It was like some heavy aura, that I had not noticed before, just lifted.
That’s great, what made you quit? I guess fasting can be hard socially
Have fasted up to 31 days 3 times in the past...nothing but good results.
@@curtc2194Wow, awesome! was this 31 days straight fast or total of 3 times
@@MarkyV83 I quit the fast because I was bored. Hunger was low all throughout. It is interesting to experience "actual" hunger and not just the carb abstinence as well as seeing so clearly how boredom drives most of my bad diet habits.
@@annieabraham8970 Hi...all 3 times 31days consecutively. Record weight loss was 42lbs. Felt very energetic during these fasts. Had trouble sleeping at times because of the elevated energy levels. Worked my way up over the years...Dr. Fung says that the record for fasting is over 380 days!
True story about boring food. During college I ate at the campus cafeteria. I couldn’t afford to go out to eat. At the end of my freshman year I weighed less than when I started college. I escaped the “freshman 10” weight gain. When I moved off campus it was a different story. I am now trying to follow Dr. Fung’s easy to understand advice. Thank you Dr. Fung for all you do!
I had 20 meals/week back in freshman yr un buffet sett8ng. I gained over 20 lbs 😢
FINALLY~~a video about weight loss that makes sense. We've had everything from fat free to keto and everything in between shoved down our throats. This makes sense. Thanks.
The hacks are priceless🙏🏻💕I do recall saying to myself "Food is overrated" to control my eyes and brain to want more food! This would help to just feed myself to live... and not live to eat!
That's because they told us eating small meals 6 times a day would speed up our metabolism for weight loss.
one of the biggest lies right next to 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'
boy that makes it so much harder
Exactly!!! The deadliest lie pushed on most diabetics and the rest of society.
It will speed up your metabolism to have a bunch of carbs but not enough to get rid of them all. Your body has to do that to get rid of them or you drop dead. No primitive tribe eats a large amount of carbs, they eat a small amount of total carbs even when the percentage of carbs in diet is high (and it usually is not)
@@LTPottenger Alas, in my case at least, the prescribed approach to "treat" diabetes and a severe autoimmune disease nearly killed me. Not kidding about how grateful I am for finding what worked best to start healing from disease and toxic meds. Finding Dr. Fung and others in the ketogenic space was an eye-opening blessing.
Dr Fung continues to be a national treasure.
These videos keep me motivated. Thank you Dr. Fung for all you do!!
Dr Fung and a few others are informing us in detailed and convincing ways! The result if you follow their advice is nothing short of mind blowing!! Thank you for educating us, Dr Fung! With gratitude!
Thank you Dr Fung for all of your videos. When I first found your videos about a year and a half ago, I thought, finally somebody makes sense. You, Dr Berg, Dr Berry and Dr Cywes have saved my life. I was 300lbs, A1C of 6.5 and just put on Metformin. I also have had a heart attack and have a pacemaker. Since I started watching your videos, I've lost over a hundred pounds, my A1C is down to 5.0 and I feel great. My PCP is in shock. My cardiologist said, whatever your doing, keep doing it. I now eat OMAD and Keto and will never go back to SAD.
Good for you! It’s so sad that those drs you listed couldn’t help get you well. They should be prescribing Dr. Fung videos to their own patients. Keep it up, your best days are ahead and worst days are behind you.
@@karend.9218 no, those are the drs that helped me along with Dr Fung
How ignorant of ur cardiologist to not ask WHAT u did to lose the weight. Simply saying "keep doing whatever ur doing" instead of swallowing his pride, maybe he couldve told other patients about ur succes and saved their life. Ugh. So typical.
Good job.
People also ate together as a family more than we do now. If you're not eating in front of a screen, you're more focused on what you're eating, whether your full/hungry, and the people around you. There's something to be said for rituals and traditions and an obvious connection to connecting with others, but also to our over all health including health weight gain or loss.
Thank you. We also used to play outside..in dirt...I know shocking!
Yes, I had that lifestyle he described and was slim. My problems started when my doctor told me that I should be eating six small meals a day to “keep my blood sugar level”.
I'm a 80's kids grow up in the Philippines. I hardly eat because we are poor, I was malnourished and schools have feeding programs for kids like me. We ate rice 3 times a day and our veggies are from my mums garden in the backyard. No take away since there was no take away at all. Our snacks are normally just banana or fruits. And we do a lot of walking, work with our parents. Now I'm in Australia I am obese🙄. Now I'm trying to loss weight and now I just start intermittent fasting it's struggle but I think I can do it.
Since I subscribed I no longer watch and listen to anyone on youtube.
May God keep you and your family safe Dr.
I only watch and listen to you Dr.
Chips and pop wére a weekly/monthly treat and the bottles were 6 Oz and not 1/2 gallons.
Yeah, & bags of chips are as big as a Toddler too. 👍❤🙂🐶
So true! My mom rarely bought the sugar cereals. Thise were rare treats! Same with eating out, very rare, so would get excited to eat out, it was usually with my grandparents cause my parents didn't have alot of extra money.
I remember getting chips and snack crackers mostly when we were on a long road trip. And, eating out was a rare, rare, rare treat.
I’m 65 and growing up we never got soft drinks unless it was for a birthday party or something like that. I was raised on un sweetened tea and Kool aide. My mom made all our food. Once in a blue moon we might get McDonald’s. We played outside and rode our bikes!
We only had pop at holiday picnics when I was growing up, like the 4th of July or Labor Day. But, even then, before we got any pop, we had to drink a glass of milk first!
I agree 1000% that we should view food only as fuel, and not for pleasure, as we do now.😬🍕🍔🍟🌭🍿🥓🥚🧇🥞🍳🧈🥐🥨🥯🧀🥗🥪🌮🍖🥩🍗🥩🥠🍣🍇🍎🍍🍌🍋😬😬😳😨😲🤐😱🤐🤐🤐🙄😶😑🤔🤨😳😳😳🥺🥺🥺😢😢😭😭🤧🤧🤢🤢🤮🤮
Another thing that has changed is that all social events now seem to center around food and there never seems to be any healthy options. Obesity has become a social contagion.
ua-cam.com/video/NOcZEaAB6fA/v-deo.html
Many healthy societies have social events focused around food. One thing those healthy societies have is their food is focused on fish, non starchy veg and light amounts of fruit.
This makes 100% sense..... remembering the 60's & 70's !!!❤
The snack myth is perpetuated even in the diet industry. Sweet things were only eaten with dinner when I was a kid in the 70s, food was seasonal too so you ate what was in the shops. Less variety of food available too.
ua-cam.com/video/NOcZEaAB6fA/v-deo.html
We have to realise that the food industry are businesses. They're in it to MAKE money off people. Not to help us. We're bombarded by fast food outlets, cafes, restaurants shops.... Masses of ready made food available now with no input from us other than to wait in a queue. It's absolutely criminal that governments have allowed this to happen to our society. But they get their kickbacks off these food giants in taxes.... It's a billion £$€ industry. Wake up people.
1. What we eat
2. How often we eat
Both of these have changed massively in the past 20+ years, so so true.
I was a fat kid even in the 50s. Dr. Fung saved my life. Thank you.
i have young children (begining school next september) and im so thankfull to have found you! I will never pack their lunch with crap! ❤️ + im losing weight and feeling better every day. 16lbs down 😁
Mom, can I have a snack?
No, it'll spoil your supper.
I didn't even think of food as a kid
I still say that to my little kids.
It's true except fruit in my case eating fruit was out snack growing up in the 80s twice a day. What happened to this?
ua-cam.com/video/NOcZEaAB6fA/v-deo.html
A lot of parents can't say no to their kids these days. Not saying no does harm to the child and to the world, kids need to hear no sometimes or they grow up entitled and selfish.
I see lots of Instagram videos of US mums organising their fridges and larders. The amount of snacks sweets and juices they show are quite staggering.
New to the fasting world 🙋🏻♀️ Have only been going a few weeks and have already lost a few pounds. I have followed the 16/8 regimen most days of the week and about once a week I’ve added in a 24 or 36 hour fast. Bone broth has been really helpful when I’ve felt weaker. Excited to learn more and keep going. I have PCOS with insulin resistance and this is one of the only methods that has helped so far to get the weight coming off
Dr, Fung you are simply a LEGEND !!! ❤
Gosh, my first guess was disco! Each dance song lasted 15 to 20 minutes - quite the work out. Guys used to drop while the girls danced on!
ua-cam.com/video/NOcZEaAB6fA/v-deo.html
I lost weight, kept it off easily, felt amazing from intermittent fasting for 16 hours and eating less carbs. My mistake was ever thinking I could go back to the way I was before and think I could maintain that level of health. I found videos of you being interviewed 4 years ago and I was convinced. I am back now to help me get back on track.
Discos were our saviour during the 70s and 80s non-stop dancing at night - too tired or running late for work the following morning we skipped breakfast - we were intermittent fasting without realising it - lunch was often the only daily staple meal - I often did days/week long juice fasting for health reasons - now we eat out of boredom, socialising, emotional or for taste only
ua-cam.com/video/NOcZEaAB6fA/v-deo.html
You are so right! I grew up in the 60/70s and I don't remember hardly ever eating a breakfast (except with Saturday morning cartoons!). On Friday and Saturday nites I made myself a pizza (home-made), french fries or frozen banquet chicken and watched TV from 7pm to 1am (when stations did their sign-offs!).
Oh, and I also walked everywhere!
Do as many 36 hour fasts as possible. You won't regret it. Also eat lots of protein foods like eggs that really fill you up for not much calories.
So just to be sure, if I ate at 6am today I can't eat again until 6pm tomorrow evening? And can you drink anything, apart from water, during that time?
@@gkm3838 you can drink 0 calorie drinks like tea and coffee (black). But when you do eat, make sure you eat enough (especially protein and fats) to hold off hunger like he says in the video.
@@aprilp7744 Thank you April P
@@gkm3838 Don't eat right before or after bed, the whole point is to skip entire days of food. After dinner tonight, don't eat tomorrow at all. It's that simple.
@@LTPottenger Thanks
I grew up from the 50's and my kids in the 70's and you are right. We ate 3 squares, no eating outside of the specified times and it was rare to see overweight kids and people in your neighborhood. Plus we didn't have all that processed food and NO high fructose corn syrup or seed oils in our foods. Food was not the center of attention back then. We used lard for frying and baking, much healthier.
Simple real ingredients is what we had. Now they add sugar corn WHEAT and preservatives to all processed foods.
We didn't have any refrigerators and my mother used to cook fresh meals every time...
and Industrial Seed Oils that cause more hunger and are very inflammatory
@@KJB0001 Yes. I always try to buy unprocessed.
Excellent episode, Dr. Fung! Your book about fasting changed my life! So glad that you are on UA-cam sharing your knowledge and experience with the world!
Hey beautiful ❤️🌹?
Hope you having a great day
LOVE how simple you keep this Dr. Fung. Definitely a major key to weight loss success!
i was surprised and delighted because I have been thinking about what is different now and in 70's when I always weighed 120 # at 5ft6in, he's right ! I had one piece of dry toast at brkfst, maybe lunch as he said or maybe skip and thendinner. nothing after 6pm. luv the fat transition tip because I snack all the time. Thnx!!!
Every new video of Dr Fung gives me motivation to lose weight 🙏 keep uploading even if the information is repeated
He’s so right. I was NEVER allowed in the kitchen between meals not even after school. The only time I ate a snack after school was if mom wasn’t there but she always made sure she was at that time of day. We literally got in trouble if we were caught going in the cupboards. My mom made us wait until dinner.
Time restricted eating and eating whole foods works. My husband and I can attest to it, we have lost over 100 lbs collectively in 20 months. Hubby went from 315 lbs to 230 lbs, he is 6’2. I went from 176 to 148, and I’m 5’3”. We have cheat meals, we drink wine occasionally, we go to social events and have cheat meals there, or on vacation we do a lot of cheat meals and drinking. Even with that we are able to lose the weight back because we restrict our eating timeframe, sometimes we do OMAD (one meal a day), and we eat whole foods (meaning we cook our meals, but a good portion of it is uncooked, like salads or fresh veggies). We are actually on vacation now in Maui, and we’ve been eating out half the time, drinking way too much wine, and I can tell the difference in my energy, my mood. Looking forward to coming home, going back on the routine, and really going hard on the restricted time eating and cooking/making all our meals (with the exception of events), also going dry (no alcohol) until our 40th bdays in about 2.5 months, we really want to have optimal healthy going into our 40s.
Your story resonated with me. I hear you're succeeding with TRE and OMD, at home, with occasional "cheating" meals which I take to be special occasions maybe with each other or friends.
I do this too. What stands out to me is: why can't we stick with TRE and OMD even when on vacation? What is compelling is to over-indulge and overeat when away from our routine? You even said you can't wait to get back to your routine because you had low energy and weren't feeling well.
Why Do We Do This To Ourselves? I do this too and don't understand the compulsion and lack of control managing my TRE and OMD when away from home.
Congrats with your successes! Wish me luck with mine. I've lost 20# and have maintained it for 6+ months. Now I'm looking for that kick-in-the-rear to lose the remain 25.
Fasting Rocks!!
I am 63 and listened to a lot of smart guys …. Few would really be what I call fascinating. You’d be one Jason. I admire your taking in the establishment . I am really interested with that part of Christianity. Christ doing same thing. Walking his own way. In country music Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson became themselves by doing same thing. In my thinking and writing I have done it for years. Lonely place at time , totally worth it. Keep up the good work !
I am revisiting your material now because it is lent and I am doing a keto diet w a coach. Your material is honestly over their heads but will be invaluable for me over next 37 days as I refresh my concept of “ when “ I eat . Blessings from green valley AZ! And thank you for your beautiful contributions to our world .
Holaaaa!!!
Thank you Dr. Fung. Your advices are very well appreciated!!
I actually really enjoy listening to this doctor. I never imagined i could listen to a doctor without getting bored,but this doctor is amazing.
Thank you... this advice has helped me so much .... down 35 pounds now... it’s staying off and I don’t work that hard for it either. I do however eat one meal a day and my energy is great. What a difference you have made Dr Fung! I am so grateful to you... best news ...my Dr asked me how I lost the weight ( being hypothyroid and hysterectomy and all I should be struggling with the best of them right?) I was... but not anymore! This is crazy how our Dr’s do not tell this simple change ... it’s so healthy and helpful to make this change in your life. At least my Dr was open to getting my information so she can pass it on to her other patients who are struggling. I was so happy to hear that. She is a young Dr too ... I told her to tell her patients to watch Dr Jason Fung videos and I MADE NO APOLOGIES FOR THAT ADVICE EITHER!
At least she was interested and I told her she might be the first Dr to see results drug free from her patients!
I have been the example you talk about Dr Fung so my circle of friends can see the difference! You are a hero in my circle! Thank you! Just ...THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The average Doctor prescribes medication out of need and for Big Pharma. They get free samples from drug companies all the time to use on 'Guinea Pig' patients.
While munching the entire bag of pop corn, I hear his first hack- don't eat all the time. 😫😫. Thank you Dr. Jason for such an informative video.
I love that you went to grade 13 Dr. Fung:) Food was better tasting back in the 70's, mum's were home and there was more homemade meals.. I am addicted to your channel, glad I found you. I need help with weight loss, it's really bringing me down:(
Just sharing from a regular guy starting at a relatively good level: I am very little overweight, 61 m, bodyfat around 24. Blood pressure and pulse ideal. So no need for drastic weight or fat loss but my goal is bodyfat around 20, which seems optimal for my age. I started IF 12/12, stopped sweets, low carb, more fat and protein, little healthy snacking, good sleep, 2-3 moderate strength workouts at home, 1-2 fitness trails, additional walking and core and mobility training, often just short sessions. No alcohol at all of course, never was much anyway. My wasteline is moving, weight loss slow but happening, energy level very good, mood also. I take blood test 1-2 a year. I might move to IF 14/10, maybe 16/8, but doubt I can or need to do long fasting, while for many people this is probably more helpful. Thank you.
I ate the same lunch for 8 years. Steaming hot white rice, chilli chicken, coconut milk spicy gravy, lots of raw vegetables as condiments. I craved this lunch everyday for years. I didn't get tired of it. I suppose I should opt for something less interesting and stick to it so that I can learn the meaning of getting bored of my daily meals.
Recipe? Lol
