I fast 23 hours a day, just one big healthy delicious meal around 4pm. It will be two years in August since I’ve eaten bread, pasta, potatoes, beans, sugar, most fruit etc. Lost 120 lbs, take zero medications and feel great. Zero aches and pains and sleep like a corpse.
That's awesome, what's wrong with beans though? Figured they are good for the fiber etc
Fantastic!
More power to you!!
@@doomrocket they are starchy foods..
Wow, fantastic Chris!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
I cant speak for everyone but im loving the slow deliberate tone he delivers his videos in...no cheap gimmicks..just plain words..thanks
I like the way he sneaks peeks at his notes.
Love this guy. Im 65. Dropped from 380 to 280 . Still got work to do. Just finished a 5 day fast. Actually, no big deal.
How did you do it? Are you diabetic?
Hi how was the 5 days ?
The most I can do is 3 days
I have a million tons of respect for Dr. Fung. He is very genuine, humble, doesn't present himself as a big deal, big shot or a celebrity. His dedication to help people, to educate them, to get them healthier is commendable!
Doc am doing IF24hrs every day while on medication now blood sugar is down to 82mgl but when never l break and the blood sugar ģòes up again which makers me to keep taking drugs every day pls tell me what to do
amen
💯💯💯
Continue with the fasting...the sugar will correct itself @@obiomaumeayo9323
The thing that I'm loving is that I actually spend less time thinking about food...diets usually make me think about food all the time. Just not thinking about food is wonderfully freeing
Starting IF has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Me too!
And the most effective. It spurs the growth hormone and that keeps us younger.

i agree that it is free and simple, you don't have to think what food you have to eat, just drink water if you feel hungry during fasting state
Nobody likes 6 meals a day better than Kellogg’s, Palmolive, and every other facet of the food industry.
6x a day ruined my health
@@bangbaba7395 ruined the majority of people's health
@@WowYouReallyPostedThat - Sad but true ...
@Mykah Shalom yes I remember the idea was to never get hungry because that’s a bad thing. 🤦♀️.
6 meals a day works if you have a use for the fuel. If you are doing something that creates the demand for the building blocks , it works. If you are practicing sedentary zen, it’s not ideal….Then again, if that’s your plan, no food plan really is.
People just eat too much food. Its like its Thanksgiving every day. Fasting feels fantastic!
I have always been a small eater, but I used to eat an extra meal or two, I would often have leftovers; thinking I was doing a good thing by cutting the food in half. I never realized I was down the wrist thing until I heard Dr. Fung. The only thing I’m missing is support. I’m have a be happy for myself. I feel better & noted my weight loss by comparing my weight at doctors’ appointments.
I’ve always gauged my weight by how my clothes look & feel.
guilty
Dr. FUNG is a genuine person....nothing austentstious about him. Wonderful teaching MD.
he needs the nobel peace prize
Ostentatious.
I’m currently fasting, doing OMAD.
Suddenly everyone around me has become a doctor and nutrition expert with their warnings of how dangerous it is 🙄
Lol did a 72 hour fast last week and made the mistake of telling someone and they acted the same way.
I usually do OMAD and then every 2 weeks I do 60-72 hour fast nothing but good results 👍
They’re probably overweight and on meds.
you mom will tell you that will get sick, ulcers etc..haha this is specially hard in our culture where thin means sickly..they view being large is healthy..
@@KhoiGO but what you eat in omad?
Intermittent fasting is spectacular!
isn’t 16 - 18 hours fasting just a kind of exercise for the Glucose storing system?

Some affirmations that I’ve heard and I use them very efficiently. “I am more than my cravings. I am more than my habits. I am more than my hunger. I can do it. I am more than my body. I am more than my mind. I am more than my actions. I can do it.”
I saw my doctor last week, first visit for 3 months. Last time I saw him I stepped on his scales and hit 112 kg which is 12 to 15 kgs too much. He noticed that I had dropped a good bit and so we checked it out and I had dropped bang on 10kgs or about 23lbs.
I told him I had gone Keto in combination with eating only once a day (plus resuming weight training and daily walking) and he was thrilled to see it as he is an advocate of both Keto and IF and he was pleased to see my blood pressure back to 120/75 where it always used to be before I let myself creep up the scale.
Apart from this, the muscle and joint pain I had been experiencing has gone and I have way more energy too. Another few kilos and I will be able to see the athlete that I used to be!
As I am no longer eating carbs my insulin is remaining low and steady and I am not suffering hunger from one meal to the next as there is no spike and drop in insulin to send hunger signals.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung for your wonderful channel
Doctor I lost 10kg in one month. From 84 kg to 74 kg. You are my hero
Please what did you eat and in whic hrs? Thanks
Share us your journey please... will love to hear it
I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 2 months and I’ve changed my diet. I’ve lost 21lbs (was 231lbs) now I’m 210lbs. I plan on losing another 20lbs. Fasting 16/8 has changed my life and I feel so much better. Thanks Doc!!!!!!!! 😀
I weighed in at 314lbs in November of 2015. After seeing my doctor at end of January and weighing in at 296lbs, I got serious about intermittent fasting. I will never eat 3 meals a again. I am under 240lbs and will not stop until I get under 190lbs.🤠
-75 lbs is no joke !!!
Never stop please. A change of regiment is for life... because of your biology..
HOORAY!!!
2015?
U go. Outlaw
Doing IF since January and down 57lbs. Beat thing I’ve ever done.
Do you follow keto
Congratulations Jeff 🤠
Me since january too but lost “only” 10 kg :-) im over the moon.. and there is no stopping me now.
@@detroitslight hi :-) if i might give you my story, I don’t do keto at all. Just reducing carbs like bread, rice, potatoes, pasta. I kind of lost my appetite for having potatoes on my plate as a part of the meal. I rather have cauliflowers, green beands, leeks.. and salad. But what i do is having something sweet every day. Not with artificial sweetener, something normal, but not much. Tiny bowl of icecream, or spoon of icecream in my coffee, banana, peaches, dark chocolate.. basically anything but not much. I justify it to myself like i saved those carbs from bread, pasta, potatoes, to have this treats :-) Maybe im not loosing weight that fast but definitely changed my eating habits and the amount of food i eat. And this is for life..
@@opuncia2731 did you do OMAD? 10 kgs is amazing btw!!
Obesity is, for most people, a two part problem. Constant Insulin spikes due to meal frequency, and sharp insulin spikes due to excessive sugar. That’s why so many people who have crazy results got them with keto AND fasting. Each attacks their respective problem. Fast for a few days, break your fast with keto for a few days. Rinse and repeat and you will quickly reverse a lifetime’s worth of poor dietary decisions. It’s the combination that is so powerful, in my opinion.
21 pounds gone in 4 weeks, and that’s accounting for water weight.
Congrats!
I follow a starch-based, whole-plant diet. No refined/processed foods. Also do OMAD with 2 hr eating window and 22 hr fasting
I eat 420-480g carbs in that 2 hours and don't have any negative affects
Been looking at different diets, and it seems fasting + time restricted eating is really what works, and people can pick and choose a specific diet to go along with it
Exactly, the combination worked wonders for me. In less than 5 months I lost over 45kg.
water weight -> fat
@@Led.on.UA-cam what do you eat to get that high number in carbs, without having processed food.
@R Jonas, How many days did you fast for? Were you also doing OMAD+Keto?
I'm fasting 24 hours every other day and love it.low carb,no snacks,no sugar. I've read most of your books. I treasure what I have learned from you. You are my mentor and my hero. Thank you I'm so grateful to you. You are so pleasant to watch and read.
Not eating for an entire day is something I'm looking to do soon. Lots of mental hurdles to overcome...
@@nikobellic570 I'm really enjoying it and so is my body it feels so relaxed! I did omad not for me and I did 16/8 for months before I started the 24 hour every other day. Good luck with your journey
I'm still struggling to stop the sweet snacks.
@@unclesteve8091 I have found that if I am not snacking and not eating heavy carbs and absolutley no sugar I have no cravings for anything. Without those things food is not a demon/enemy
@@zensbleexperience3470 Well done, i will also try the same regiment.
I've been fasting for 23 hours a day for about five weeks. I don't weigh myself so I'm not sure how much weight I've lost but just based on how I look and how my clothes fit it's a considerable amount...10-15 lbs minimum. I also feel much better...I sleep better, I have more energy and my digestive system is much less 'moody'.

Love u dr Jason.
Ur voice is so strong.
I followed you lost 20 kg and i am no more taking any medicine for diabetes.
Now my aim is to help other people with diabetes.
I have never had a doctor, nor do I current have health insurance. When I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I was relatively lean because I rode a bicycle hundreds of miles a week. Fast forward to this year with my sedentary life and my weight had gotten up to about 235 pounds on my 5’6-7” frame. My mother has had diabetes for years, and I was not feeling great. So in late May one day I decided not to eat. Then I did not eat a second day. Then I started to learn as much about fasting and the ketogenic diet here on UA-cam. I ended the fast 36 days later, and now I am doing keto OMAD. I am now down over 40 pounds, my blood pressure is way down as well. Hoping to be down to my youthful weight by the time my 60th rolls around in November. With this man’s advice and motivation, I have no doubt I can do it. Thank you Dr. Fung.
You are doing great! It's never too late. It's so good for us
Congratulations! Good that your doing so well.
Wow, awesome! Keep it up! May I ask how you break fasting? I’m doing a three day fast, it’s my first time and I’m wondering how to eat when breaking the fast.
@@griselc.7207 I have only done one fast. But what I did first was drink a cup of bone broth. Then half an hour later I had a green salad with sardines. Then some sauerkraut. Dr, Mindy Pelz said I should have eaten the sauerkraut before the salad. Oh well, I lived to tell the tale.
ua-cam.com/video/8j6nZ1U4LLQ/v-deo.html
I will be 60 in November too 🎉😀
Great information this is working for me too. So far I’m off 3 diabetic meds and have lost 75 lbs. just stay hydrated.
Intermittent fasting has helped me tremendously. Dropped my A1C number from 13.8 to 4.9 in 8 months. 💯❤️
Great on ya lad ! I got my A1C at 4.9 also a few weeks ago !
Well done!! It's amazing how many stories like these you read under IF / keto vids
👍 _Wow ..!_
Wow,how did you do it and what did you do?
@@elizabethvasquez1024 A healthy sometimes dirty ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting and exercise regularly. No Sugar. Hours of UA-cam videos. Doctor Jason Fung Eric Berg and Ken Berry.
I started intermittent Fasting in March 2021, I wish that I had started a year earlier. After the first few days it has become a very easy and simple way of living.
Totally love IF! It's the greatest thing going and I'll never quit. I've gone from 3xl to large on my way to small. No doubt about getting there and the best part? I'm enjoying it and don't feel the least bit deprived. That's the way to live. Oh, and I'm 65 so age doesn't even matter when you do IF!
Wow 👏😮👏😮👏 did you do the 16 hour or 24 hour?
I am 66 and I would even say that IF for us is the way to manage body weight despite menopause. Two years of very low carbs were not as decisive as Time restricted eating to slow down this trend of fattening. (I had only 3 kg too much but they were very very difficult to lose again: wanted to keep my clothes!!)
Dr. Fung is performing an EXTREMELY valuable public service. No doubt he is helping thousands of people worldwide. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
I've been doing intermittent fasting for several years, mainly for its autophagy benefits. (I'm 72 and don't have a weight problem.)
I first learned about autophagy from Valter Longo's videos and reading about the work of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi.
Bottom line: fasting may have health benefits (via autophagy) that go beyond curing diabetes, critically important as that is.
Longer-term fasting also triggers autophagy, which "cleanses" your body at the cellular level.
Extremely important point - weight loss and diabetes are very important, but there are so many other health benefits!
i wish i can give NOBEL prize for the knowledge you are sharing with us.
Absolutely true. I followed Dr. Fung and lost 85 pounds. 224 to 139 pounds. 62 years old woman, with many different problems, including serious knee pain. I am so, so grateful to people like Dr. Fung and he is like my God, saving humanity
IF, keto and walking have let me shed 58 lbs in the last 4 months. At age 56, I worried it was too late. A few weeks OMAD and then a few weeks ADF, and repeat. Keeping carbs under 20g on eating days, usually under 10g. BP has also dropped from 160/95 to 105/70 and HbA1c has dropped from 5.6 to 4.7. Still 100 lbs to go, but very happy with IF and keto.
Congratulations.🎉🎉 Today is my 10th day doing OMAD. Some days are hard and some are better. I've lost 4.5 kgs/ 9 pounds in that time. I really cannot wait until I build up to ADF. Congratulations once again, I love reading testimonials like yours.
I am 60 years old and have lost over 70 lbs and still have about 50 or 60lbs.
@@omadoutlaw4868 way to go!!!! So so proud of you.
Today is my first day and I’m a bit scared if I’m honest. I’m 58, post menopause and obese. My joints ache, my skin is awful and I’m always out of breath.
I’ve decided to try 18:6 for the first week to see if that’s a good fit.
Question: do I do the same thing every day or do I mix it up with other things such as OMAD?
@@kaycee625 I think you should take it in stages. Without the right food, it would take sheer willpower to go straight to 18:6 and you might give up in a few days.
First, realize that obesity, joint pain and skin issues are classic signs of insulin resistance and inflammation caused by a high carbohydrate diet and lack of regular exercise. So ... remove all sugar, grains, bread, potatoes and processed foods from your diet. Eat only meat and leafy green vegetables, and DON'T cut back on salt. No fruit, no juice, no milk, just water or club soda or coffee/tea without sweeteners to drink (heavy cream is OK but milk is not). Don't be afraid of fatty meat and butter, but throw away any oils and margarine other than olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil. You need more fat in your diet to curb your hunger and replace the calories you don't get from carbs.
You may feel crummy for a few days to a week as your body adjusts to using fat for energy instead of carbs. Eat more salt if you get headaches or nausea.
Second, when you are done feeling crummy you should also notice that you aren't hungry in the morning anymore. If you are hungry, put a few rocks of himalayan salt on your tongue and just roll it around until it dissolves on its own. That will take 15 minutes, distracting you from hunger pangs and the hunger pangs will be gone afterwards.
Third, you are ready for a regular schedule of 18:6 -- basically, skipping breakfast, eating lunch at noon and dinner finishing by 6PM. Don't snack in between meals or after dinner. Water and salt only, black coffee or tea but no cream or sweetener outside mealtimes. You'll probably have lost 10 lbs water weight by now.
Fourth, start walking every day if you don't already. Whatever you have been doing, add 15 minutes more per day of walking. Do that for a week, then go to 20 minutes per day. After two weeks of walking and 18:6 eating just meat and veg and drinking non-caloric and non-sweetened drinks, you may find that you aren't really hungry at lunch. Don't eat just because it is "time" to eat. If you get hungry between lunchtime and dinnertime, do the himalayan salt trick and wait until dinnertime to eat.
That would be my suggested approach to getting to OMAD in 3-4 weeks. Continue extending your walking time each week, careful not to injure yourself, until you are walking 20-30 minutes at a time and two to three times per day.
Fifth, do OMAD for four weeks before attempting ADF and only do ADF for one week before returning to OMAD. For ADF, go back to eating a small meal at noon and another small meal at 6PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, eating nothing on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, just drinking water and eating pinches of salt. Back to OMAD on Sunday and continue OMAD.
This would get you 8 weeks into an IF and keto lifestyle and typically see you shed 30 lbs. Your skin, joints and breathing should improve along the way, and your energy level will improve when your body finally accepts fat is the only fuel it is going to get.
OMAD will seem normal and you can insert a week of ADF every so often, challenge yourself with a 72 hr fast once a month, etc.
Dr. FUNG is by far a lifesaver to me. I began on fasting intermittently a year ago I preached to my family how good I felt and how successful it was they watched me they saw me and now they’re all doing it every family member is now doing intermittent fasting and thank you Dr. FUNG you saved my life from a TIA and I have not had an incident since intermittent fasting I still have a long ways to go but it is a journey every day I learn something new about my brain my body thank you so much Dr. FUNG
Keep the faith! IF is definitely worth it. I was never really an over eater, but couldn’t lose weight to safe my soul. I took a strenuous step aerobics class & reshaped my body; lost several sizes; but didn’t lose a pound. I joined WW as a support friend & stuck with the diet, but I was into week 6-7 before losing a single pound. I ended up looking like I lost more than anyone else in the group. People would constantly ask me how much I had lost. I just used my Mona Lisa Smile & kept quiet.
With IF I lost 37 lbs pretty quickly, and have lost 13+ pounds since (more slowly.). My endocrinologist has never said “good job!” Instead he says things like I’m not sure that works, or I don’t think it’s healthy, even “Aren’t you hungry all the time?” He could use a few months of IF, maybe that’s why he’s not a fan… 🤷🏻♀️
🤭🤦🏻♀️🙄
That's cool! I'm trying to get my family into it too, but they're so carb and sugar addicted. It's frustrating honestly.
@@msfrankie631 Isn’t that a shame that you are standing in front of him, weight down, labs better, feeling better and he still cannot support you. That’s more personality than medical science.
@@whatthesamhill5682 Yeah, it sucks. I had to take myself off insulin.
He didn't save your life he helped you, you're the one that saved your life! If you hadn't of Taken action nothing would have happened, knowledge without action leads to nothing. Give yourself a big pat on the back good job!
Simply amazing Dr. Fung. I have lost 33 pounds in 6 months following IF
been doing I.F, have been able to loss 125 pounds. thanks for all the information
I have been I F for the past 2 years and I dont think I will ever go back to the Standard American Diet(S.A.D.) I have lost around 50 - 60 lbs. I used to have Gynoclomastia (Man Boobs) from around age 12 - 38 and no matter what I did I couldnt get rid of it and was very ashamed of my body and often wore 2 or 3 shirts to try to hide it as much as possible but it was still noticeable, after 2 years of I F they are now gone and I can comfortably walk around in a tank top or just 1 shirt. I wish I would of learned this a long time ago and Im glad I didnt get any kind of surgery which would of cost thousands, I owe it all to people like Jason Fung educating those who will listen and try it out. Thank You Jason Fung
You are an. Angel on the planet to help people live healthy life style
It is such a relief not having to watch what you eat at all when you fast. Advantage number 3 (Simplicity) I think is a really big one.
Yes! This is such a big thing for me! I do try to focus on eating healthy foods in general and avoid processed foods etc, but otherwise I don’t worry about it.
I'm at target weight through IF, now maintaining the same weight through 18h fasting. I eat anything I want between 10am and 6pm and the weight stays stable. A revelation after 40 years of yoyo dieting.
I'm really glad I did keto before attempting to fast. Getting off the refined carb train was key to being able to fast successfully. I've never been a breakfast person so that helped as well. It was kicking the carb cravings that was the hard part for me. I remember 20 years ago I only ate one meal most days, usually dinner, jogging 5 miles every morning, resistance training 3 days a week. I don't think I ever felt better than I did then. Not sure why I ever stopped. I do remember everyone giving me grief that I was starving myself. I guess I allowed myself to be convinced what I was doing was harmful to my health. I am so glad Dr. Fung and others are educating people that fasting isn't harmful and is, in fact, a healthier way to live. It would have been nice to have this as general knowledge 20 years ago. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Ballooned to 220 lbs at my heaviest, 203 in March 2020, currently 148, still have about 15-25 left to lose (5'4", almost 60 yo). It's been a slow process but not really difficult. The most important and impressive thing is how much better I feel, not just the weight loss but also my arthritic aches and pains are gone. Even 20 years ago at 130-135lbs I still had arthritic pain, stiffness, etc. It was something I figured would just be a part of life for the rest of my life. Ditching the sugar, flour, other refined carbs, potatoes and rice has greatly reduced the inflammation and no more pain. Who knew!?
@ Cat Patrick, Well done,
I am really struggling to ditch the sugars and flour. Any tips?
@@curtisalex456 Honestly what worked best for me was cutting them out cold turkey. Trying to ease off didn't cut it. If you can gradually reduce them that would probably be better but a little sugar led me to wanting more sugar, a little pasta made me want another serving, you get the idea. If it wasn't in the house and I couldn't cook with it or use it, I couldn't eat it. Yes, I got the "keto flu" but I knew that was just my body adjusting to the lack of carbs and struggling to retrain itself to find an alternative source of fuel. After a few weeks I didn't miss the sugar, bread, pasta at all. Monk fruit is my favorite sweetener for coffee and tea because black coffee is just yuck to me 😂. Low carb wraps and tortillas have been a life saver, things I once ate on bread or buns I use the tortillas instead. One thing I did for the first three days was just eat protein, no carbs at all. Eggs, meat, butter and cheese, that was it. Kept these as a staple and started adding a few veggies like broccoli, asparagus, baby spinach, cabbage, cauliflower. After a few of weeks of that I began using the wraps and tortillas. Good luck on kicking the carbs! If this sugar, bread and pasta addict can do it I'm fairly certain anyone can. 😊
Exactly, my situation,
So grateful for Dr. Fung. 2 favorite videos are the 36 minute one with coffee cup on podium that is must see 1st called 2 compartment dilemna second one is 720p fung with plate of salad showing 7 minutes long. Changed my life. Opened my eyes. Set me free. Starting a few days keto made it very easy to go into fasting without any hunger. The month of January 2019 I dropped 20 pounds with a 3 days fast then an 8 day fast and a final 3 day fast. 2 friends have lost 130 combined and kept it off with OMAD.
@Cat Patrick
I am fasting 20 hrs 7 days a week trying to really get rid of right hip arthritic pain. Its lightened up but the stiffness is there. I don't do carbs. I can barely eat a whole plate. I'm so desperate to lose 100 started at 324 on June 15, 2021. Needed encouragement thanks for your story. Pray for me.
Wow I am so impressed with all your stories. On June 5, 2021 I ended up in emergency with excruciating arthritic hip pain and weighed in at 324 pds, 63 yrs old. So mad at myself. On June 15th I started keto because they won't do a hip replacement until my BM is under 40. I'm doing much better with pain but still have stiffness. I do feel amazing my clothes are much loser. I refuse to weigh because I want no disappointments. Just need encouragement. I'm doing 20 hrs fasting 7 days a week. Should I go to 23 hrs. Also went from 3 hrs sleep to 8 hrs sleep. Love you Dr. Fung. One other thing I grill all my food but notice I can't eat a lot now. Maybe half a plate. Please pray for me.
Good luck!
Love your videos. I’m down 37 lbs since 1-1. I usually IF 18:6 with keto/ carnivore. One cheat meal a week.
Exercising regularly now. My goal is 7-17 more lbs. Slow and steady wins the race. 60 years young. 💜
i wish i knew about IF about 30 years ago. do physicians or drug companies not want us to possibly be healthier? 😉 the answer to all your questions is 🤑🤑🤑🤑💲💲💲💲
Exactly greed if they cant make money they are against it.
They want you sick and heavily medicated. But we need to take charge of our health and lose the dependency on doctors. If we keep blaming doctors we are giving them the power.
@@JCX-9 well said
I realized that T2 & HBP meds are chemicals that I put into my body and decided to get rid of it. I do OMAD, became more physically active Doing weights & power walks and is now meds free for almost a year, though I still have quarterly blood test. A big THANKS to this doctor where I first learned about fasting. He needs to be commended 👍👍👍
@Engelbert Humperdinck If you think obesity is caused by "overeating," then you didn't watch the clip. Shame on you.
People switch to keto/low carb and IF because they can easily stay on it, lose weight, turn their life around, and get off a ton of meds - because the body has repaired itself.
I used herbal tea (no sugars, sweetners or milk)to burn ceramides, did 16:8 intermittent fasting, changed my diet and did workouts. My fasting dropped from 28 to 6 in 4 weeks. Still dancing around 6 .2 and 6.9 (fasting)and 4.7 to 5.6 (4 hours after meal) within the day. Lost 6kgs. Im still struggling to adapt but it is worth it. Blurry vision all gone. Thanks Doc.
The ever flexible body is wonderful. 18/6 IF now, after 2 years, seems so easy and so routine. Sometimes I'll do 21 hrs with no issues, and I don't even feel hungry. That's the longer term results of IF. It's really not that hard.
With the increase in grocery prices this is the way to go 😂😂
Omg....i said the same
Day 13 of 30 day fast. 13.8 pounds so far. Will ease back to food. Will do alternate day fasting then omad.tried fasting previously but was not educated.have done my research. I weigh myself every day. This inspires and motivates me. I'm doing this for my health and well being. 66 yes old, no prescription drugs, no blood pressure issues, no smoking or drinking. Finally found what works for me.
Since doing OMAD, I’ve noticed a lot less inflammation in my joints and muscles. I was in a lot of pain. It’s almost like your whole body has some form of gout when you eat too much. This is gone now.
Most people are just jumping into intermittent fasting way too quick. It's a gradual process you need to implement over time, and the reason you are starving doing it, is because you have taken bigger leaps than your body can adapt to. 👊💥
Indeed. Was my mistake. Too quickly, too impatiently, with too much willpower. I now am tuning the times i eat only with: mindful awareness. And see: i begin to fit my meals within a circadian rhythm that my body signals to me. I am listening.
It is important as i am neither diabetic nor overweighted. I want simply fitness back.
What has come naturally and effortless, is when i take the last meal of the day: between 16:00 - 1700. (Two meals a day.. the other meal 11:00).
Another signal of my body: no carb at all at the second meal but please a little bit at 11:00. (After 2 years of VLCHF diet i know that "very low" carb is too low for my biology)
What is interesting is that my body is too stressed by short fastings ( but with no reserves, not surprising) but it happens that I feel "Go for skipping a meal!" And then it is great, a kind of rest and cleansing.
Awareness is better than willpower.
Thank you Dr Fung, I lost 25 pounds since I started fadting 18-6, OMAD and Low carb. I started ln november 2020.
Dr. Fung gives me hope - I’m a morbidly obese person and the three GPs I’ve seen over the last years always point to surgery as the best solution to manage my health issues. Utilizing Dr. Fungs fasting recommendations, I’ve lost a substantial amount of weight. Watching Dr. Fungs videos motivates me to stay the course and continue my progress. Huge thanks to the good Doctor for all he does!
Good on you brutha. Look at it as a blessing in disguise. Mastering yourself is the prize. We're all conditioned into habitually eating. Once you break that habit & connect the dots you realise anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I suggest trying prolonged fasting such as 1 full day, then 3 full days, even 7 days. You'll learn alot about yourself & what's possible by doing them.

I'm fasting two days at a time. I'm a type two diabetic. No meds or insulin. I also do Omad. My goal is to get down my weight and kick my type 2 to the curb. My sugars are around 106 and 120. It spikes about to 178 at night regardless. It won't get me down, I'll keep with it. I've only been fasting for about a month.
Your library of videos are not only a great information resource but are a place to go for motivation, inspiration and support.
Fasting intermittently gives huge benefits to one’s body. As Dr Fung say it’s easy once you start practicing, feel very comfortable physically. This is actually a great way to have a healthier lifestyle. Thank you Dr Fung for showing us this great way to have
achieve a healthy life style.👍👍👍❤️❤️
Always a pleasure to find you here, teaching, explaining the " why " and " how " and that without any confusion. Everybody can understand what you are talking about and that is fantastic. Thank you Dr. Fung.
This person has changed my life.thank you so much i am promoting your msg to world about fasting.
The Great Trinity: Dr Fung, Dr Eckberg, Dr Lustig.
Works for me! The only ingredients I add are the 3Ds. Desire, dedication, and discipline! 😁
I've done IF my whole life without knowing it had a name lol!
Word of advice... Take caution if you have or had an eating disorder. It's easy to slip into dangerous territory if you are prone to disordered eating.
Sounds like my 85 yr old father who still walks and lives a great life ,ditto my mother they did it more with discipline
Yes! Dr Fung had warned. But I did not listen. So I had a relapse.. but I learned from it. And came back to balance. No fasting through willpower! but instead a mindful time restricted eating. That works well.
And i have subscribed to the App of Dr Jud Brewer on Mindful eating. Great help!
My Mom has a ton of health issues. Diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, reflux, pain all over and arthritis in her ankle. With this arthritis I got her, her "doctor" recommended to stiffening the joint. She was so afraird that finally she started listening to me and startet a Low Carb diet and a fasting window of 12, then 14h.
Now (after only 6 months) she is off a lot of her medications, loses weight and her ankle gets better. And now she has the energy and want's to go to 16h fasting window. I am so proud of her.
Thank you Dr. Fung, you changed my life and no my mothers.
Greetings from Germany :O)
Bondage to food has significantly decreased since begining IF/OMAD. I am certainly more mindful, but more in control instead of captivated by eating and snacking and hooked on carbs/sugar. 🙌🙌
Totally agree,Erin.🤠
vary up your eating time and it will reduce even more
*Jason Fung; Always says that a 16-Ora Fast is Good Enuff!!! BUT*
*You Must go 5-days🔥🔥, just to GET One Stem CeLL!!!!*
I've done a 16:8 fast five to six times a week since April of 2021. Lost 33 lbs and so many inches. Jeans that I couldn't dream of fitting into back then now fit. I have a whole new wardrobe in my existing closet. I dropped all the "big carbs" of potatoes, pasta, bread, rice, and anything with sugar in it (cereals, cookies, candy, soda, etc.). Feel fantastic!
You are a life saver Dr. Fung! Thank you for sharing another inspirational story. Her's is similar to mine. I'm 58 and down 95lbs. so far following your suggested LCHF diet and IF. I feel so alive and well! These videos keep me motivated. Thank you for all you do!
wow Jessica great job !
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 Thank you so much! I'm off my blood pressure meds and my osteoarthritis pain is so much better I'm able to be active again, swimming! My asthma is pretty much non-existent. Soooo thankful. Needless to say I'm a much happier person...so my husband's thankful too! 😆😉
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 hey there, ive been fasting for a wk now, just curious how weight loss is going.
I have over 100 to lose..ty!
@@CotafayeI had 30 lbs to lose and I lost it; good luck. Remember if you have other health issues like iodine deficiency you will NOT lose even a single pound because thyroid gland is responsible for metabolism so if thyroid is underactive (HYPO) due to iodine deficiency you will not lose weight.
I was raised old school ! So IF - has changed my life 🙏🏻 keep up the healthy work ! Gracias from the Windy City !
Dr Fung you are the best at explaining how fasting works. I began listening to you in 2020. I did the one meal a day for 6 months and lost 50 pounds
I also learned to eat real food instead of the proceeds junk too
Makes me think things like slimfast and weight watchers are just hyped up money making fads that don't really work. With IF, for the last 4 weeks I've only eaten once a day and lost 25lbs. Very simple, cheap and easy. Weight training a few days a week, walking everyday. No muscle loss. Very impressed with this method of weight loss at 52years of age. Wish I'd done this years ago.
I agree 👍. I wish I had known about this year's ago too!
Weight Watchers, etc, were all based on the "science" at the time. Unfortunately, that sciene was WRONG. but WW has not changed its model. I'm waiting for all the weight-loss businesses to disappear because you can do low carb/keto yourself.
I'm furious because I keep hearing about drugs that cause weight loss. Something else that costs a lot, and doesn't work as well. Big Pharma must be sooooo annoyed.
Big Congrats Gary you have lost more weight in 1 month than I have in over 1 year.I average 4 x 3 hourly walks each week.I did 4 weight training sessions per week and tried to track my Macro each day often eating 3 meals plus 3 snacks.I could never lose weight despite doing what the Instagram Fitness Industry said.Not fasting yet not sure where to start
I agree Gary! This makes so much sense and it works!
IF is the only thing that's helped my nausea during my pregnancy. I'm lowering my carbs but not enough to be 'low carb' yet. But cutting out carbs at dinner and a short fast in the AM has worked for me where nothing else was.
At first IF is hard. But once your body get used to it. it feels pretty amazing and you Will be doing it effortlessly, as a part of your habit. Your body Will "fight back" if you try to get back to your old eating habit (eating all the time).
Started on this fasting lifestyle change in May 2020 and never looked back. I now do OMAD except sometimes on weekends switch to 16:8. Never felt better and all my blood work is the best it’s been in a decade.
when do you have your one meal?
@@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311 - usually an early dinner
Fasting gives you ultimate control of your body and your health. It is one of the greatest discoveries I have made. I applaud everyone in their journey towards healthy living. Thank you Dr. Fung for all of your diligent efforts and helping me overcome my struggle with Diabetes and Fatty Liver. Eight months in, I am 40 lbs. lighter and I am off all four medicines for T2D. My last A1C was 5.1. Cheers!
I’m doing alternate fasting and I love it. I’m feeling so much better. Grateful and so thankful to Dr. Jason Fung. 😄💜
This Doc is the best
He advertise no products and just gives away so much info at no cost he's a God Sent I love this guy ❤️
Thank you lovely Dr Fung . I am truly enjoying ‘variant ‘ fasting and experiencing Autophagy in its truest sense . After 4 weeks , I have so much energy and I am alert and becoming lighter .
I lost 7 lbs now - only 5 more lbs to go so I am back to my 1976 weight of 7 stone .
With my love , respect and blessings for all your teachings .
IF since April ..love it !!! Never looked or felt this amazing 💯😉
Thanks Dr Fung. You’ve been an inspiration to me. My weight was creeping up in my late 40s. Was getting into the 180s. My ideal weight (I’m male , 5’10”), which I’m at now, is about 160. My shirts were getting tighter and belly getting bigger, and I hated it. I learned about IF and started daily 8/16 fasting and continued every day for a year. I also changed my diet to a Mediterranean type with loads of veggies, fruit, pulses, nuts. The extra weight melted away in the first few months. I didn’t have a scale, didn’t really worry about how fast I was losing weight since I knew I was on a healthy path. After one year, I switched to three meals a day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner with no snacking. Same healthy diet with lots of veggies of all colors. My chronic pain and arthritis is almost gone and I feel much better mentally. I’m actually eating a little less than when I was fasting per se.
To stay motivated, I think about human evolution, about the foods that were available during our development as a species and shaped our dna. I eat the whole plant foods we are made to eat. In this light, the idea that I should have a bowl of ice cream most evenings seems crazy.
I realize this isn’t as impressive as those people who have lost much more. But I say my health headed in the wrong direction and knew I would become like relatives of mine who never got on the right track. It’s been 2.5 years since I started all this and my weight is the healthiest possible, I love my diet, and I hope others don’t have to be obese before they start a healthy lifestyle.
You were smart to make a change at 20 lbs over your desired weight. I kick myself now for allowing so much weight to pile on!
Were u diagnosed of arthritis
Fasting is the only way in order to make a person happy and healthy! Thanks Dr Jason Fung for this video.
When I cannot pee because I have prostate problems, I didn’t go to my Doctor. Instead I immediately fast for five days and sleep a lot and felt so much relief after 5 days. Knowing the science of fasting helps me a lot.
i started this month to eat every other day, and now i'm super healthy 😍
Im 39 lbs down in 5 months. I use adf and intermittent fasting. I will be at my goal weight in 6 months of fasting. (Which is another 12 lbs.) I feel strong at the gym. And pretty good doing cardio. Thank you Dr. Fung. I tell lots of people about your books.
That is a GREAT one Jason... all consolidated down yo a 10 min vid
(I listen to all your lectures, even the long ones from many years ago) You are changing my Life but some of my friends and family are too impatient to watch the long ones, so this is perfect. Thank you for your efforts 🎉 (70 pounds to date, and reconnecting to a life-long love of working with horses, which I lost long ago due to the obesity) 🐎
Dr. Fung is a lifesaver for me. After years and years of yo yo dieting. IF is free. It’s effective. IF and Keto. Thank you Dr Fung!
I went from 200 to 150 in 6 months.
Dr. Fung rarely responds to our comments on these videos, but I do hope he at least reads some of our responses. There’s one thing I wish he would do for all of his followers that I haven’t seen him do. What is it? Well, it’s simply doing regular question and answer videos with people like you and me. I can’t count the number of times I’ve wished I could ask him a quick question about something that I’ve never seen him mention. I’m sure we have all wished we could ask him a quick/simple question. I love these videos, but it would be so helpful if he would just take our questions a couple of times a month for 10 to 15 minute videos. I’d love not only having my questions answered, but seeing the answers to other people’s questions as well. Dr. Fung, would you PLEASE start doing some question/answer videos with your readers/followers/fans? It would be soooo helpful to us all! 😊
Join his membership! He does live Q&As usually once a month. He asks for questions in advance or he answers them from the live chat. 😁
@@JohnsonNestorFamily: Thanks, Jessica. I guess that’s the thing to do, but I really don’t want to pay for something I’m doing just fine at for free. I’d just like to be able to ask a few questions sometimes that I’m sure we have all wondered about at some point.
@@pocopico7409 I understand. In my case, I have been self employed most of my working life and not able to afford health insurance. The information I've learned from his videos have all or mostly corrected my health issues. I'm so thankful he takes the time to teach us what other doctors won't. For $5.00/mo..... that's pretty cheap healthcare 🙂. If I had to go into the doctor, it would be much more. I know every situation is different. That's just why I joined. Please take care
@@JohnsonNestorFamily: Oh, just $5 a month, huh? That would be worth it if I could get some questions answered. How hard is it to get him to answer questions? 😀
Does he have a website or somewhere you could write??
Been IF and LC for 12 weeks and down 12 kilos
Love this Man!
He has changed and saved so many lives
Plus He is such a pleasure to listen to 😊❤️
You have helped so many people, including myself.
Been following your advice since October 2015.
Life changing.
Thank you so much!
Wishing you all the best, Dr. Fung!
In January i was 96 Kg with a heigh of 187 cms. Now i'm 78 Kg. IF of 20h +/-
65lbs in 6 months at age 53, oh yeah fasting works!!!
The best thing about fasting is that doesn't cost a thing! And it works
I do the 5:2 fasting it works for me on my fasting days I eat 500 calories the rest of the days I eat normal Michael Mosley called the fast diet the 5:2 fasting is the best method for me
Because of this man I have a control of my pancreas! Thank you dr fung
@ADMIN Jason Fung no thanks!
Jason your videos removed all the diet guessing from my life. I truly appreciate everything you share 🙏🏼
Excellent honest advise. Thanks Dr. Jason Fung, You are the best of all Doctors in the world. May God bless you always.
I'm recovering from binge eating disorder & as part of the treatment programme I'm taking part in, we're not actually allowed to "diet" But I'm desperately overweight. So i spoke with my therapist & she's given me the ok to carry on with my intermittent fasting. For me, it's about mindset & in my head intermittent fasting gives me just enough level of control that I need, but I don't find it restrictive like other diets. I can eat healthy & still eat pretty much what I want. But that time restriction, for me, is so much easier to achieve than a food restriction. Besides, I'm basically fasting while I'm sleeping so for me it's working perfectly. Another thing, fasting gives me something that I've never had with any other "diet" & that's clarity of mind. I'm calmer emotionally, I have more energy & I'm not starving & I'm not obsessing about food. Less likelihood of my relapsing into a binge again
The best part of IF is flexibility. I've lost about 80 lbs mostly by eating out. I'm not hard on myself since I know I have the will power to do fasting for 5 days easily if I want to. I can eat McDonald's and still make progress by making some slight adjustments like ordering 2 double cheeseburgers and make it into a 4 patty cheeseburger. That'll keep well fed until the next day and still make progress.
@@JohnSmith-kx8lu 80lbs is my dream goal. Well done you! Thank you for your comment 😊
Good to see you, Doc. Always bringing the great content and hope 🙏 Out here in Cali, we’re only getting leaner and healthier 😎🌴 thank you for everything you do
Thank you so much Dr Fung. You are going so much good. I appreciate you more than I can express!
All I have to say is a thank you to Dr. Fung. Two weeks ago my PCP had urged me to go into the ED because my sugar was 500+. After altering my diet and adding an exercise routine, my blood sugars are average 120. My physician continues to push me to take insulin or other forms of medication.
All these reasons are SPOT on! I will be honest I started back in April and it has been a slow go. I just got to 10 lbs off now with exercise, 16:6, OMAD sometiems. But honestly speaking there are other benefits I have noticed. My sleep has improved(still working to get it back), I was having some female issues, self correcting too, my skin is clearere, muscle mass increase too. Slow and steady and patience, but I have been consistent!
If you want faster weight loss, all you have to do is eliminate alcohol and replace most of your sugars, grains, and starches with more fatty meat, beef preferably. Don't reduce total calories or you will slow your metabolism, just replace carb calories with extra fat and protein.
Thanks for sharing Liz's story, a very positive testimony♥
Thanks Dr Fung for sharing your knowledge with us. You are truly helping the human race 🤗
