After I read Obesity Code, I eliminated sugar, added a sugar free protein shake per day with fruit, lots of veg and protein, enjoyed fats like butter, nuts, olives, avacado, oh and no pasta or rice, potatoes on special occasions 😊. I’ve lost 55lbs in 6 months. I don’t count calories at all I just ask myself “what’s the best choice right now”. Oh and I try not to eat at night. For me it’s a sustainable way to eat forever, not a short term diet. Thank you Dr Fung!
Update: I stalled for a long time. Months. Now I’m losing again. Up to 80 lbs. I’m currently trying to up my exercise to everyday instead of every other day. I’m taking a Kung Fu class too.
*Reduce added sugar * stop drinking sugar * Reduce refined grains *Eat moderate proteins * Eating healthy fat * Eating things as they appear in nature ( no procced food) * balance feeding and fasting (when to eat ) All these steps will lead us to a achieve our dreams ....thank you dr Funge🌷🌷...💖💖💖
He forgot to mention that total calories consumed have to be less than calories used up by physical activity. In the end this is the only frigging thing that matters.
@@donwinston no it's not. You should get updated on the counting calories and calories in calories out myth. He explains this quite well in other videos and his books.
This guy is the real deal. Not flogging any supplements, and is actually a medical doctor. On another note - is it just me, or does he always sound a couple of sighs away from finally losing patience 🤔😆
Perfect and great to hear. 70+ lbs here also. You obviously have the two things required. An open mind (that the Gov, 'doctors', and food pyramid are a lie/fraud) and DISCIPLINE. Unfortunately, most lack the later requirement.
Dr. Fong and fasting has changed my life I owe so much to him. This is the only way I have been able to lose weight fairly easily and look good and not have my skin flabby and feel good have a good mind not depressed and try each and every day to be better than the day before. I’m trying to get to one meal a day but it doesn’t come easily I hope that the year 2021 will be that year
but how would we know it if we died briefly and were revived by a leprechaun? Leprechauns are so small and difficult to see that many people think they don't exist.
Alternate aggressive fasting. No food just water for 24 hours, then just lunch and dinner the next day. Then no food for 24 hours, then just lunch and dinner and so on. Did that for about almost 2 months. But I also was eating healthy and working out. Now I just fast every once and a while and have kept the weight off. Total of 75 lbs lost and maintaining my goal weight
@@texas2far Rolling 36’s pretty much. Nice work. I did pretty much the same except I added potassium and sodium to the water on fasting days. 50 pounds down since Jan 3 and it’d be more if I was more disciplined these last 6 weeks.
Every single time I get discouraged about weight loss, I listen to one of Dr. Fung's videos and I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS encouraged that I am on the right path, and not just for weight loss, but for overall health.
hahaha, I looked for his video JUST for this reason. I'm not alone. Hope you've been making progress and even if not we can always start over in a second.
Removing refined grains/sugar and fasting have been game changers for me. I realize now why I was ALWAYS hungry before but barely hungry now. It wasn’t hunger. It was insulin.
Dear doctor you may not fully appreciate how much hope you have given many many people to be healthy. I just want to reiterate my gratitude to you for taking your time to help humanity. And you must be a very busy man. We cherish you for your encouragement and also your expertise because you are a very talented doctor. Thank you
Whopping amount is needed for to get medical degree and to start hospital so it's doubtful that other doctors can accept this free and excellent treatment.
I am losing weight and belly fat for the first time since menopause at 45. I finally have hope for better health. Thank you for giving me a way that actually gives lasting weight loss. It is so simple, and every doctor needs to recommend this process and dump calorie restriction that totally doesn’t work. I am feeling better than I have felt in 20 years!
@@jacquelineb8778 how do you do your alternate day fasting? Eat regularly today then fast the next and break with a meal before bed or do you eat only 500 calories on your non fating day then fast next day for few hours or entire day?
Can we also please acknowledge the obvious lack of jump cuts in all of Dr Fung's videos. Straight talk straight through. Just another small but meaningful observation lending more credibility to the message. Thank you!
Dr. Fung, I am glad that at the top of your list you put the elimination of sugars and refined carbs first, before you worked your way down to fasting. While many can jump into fasting, for others it is difficult. I always find that when you remove sugars and carbs first, and allow your body to acclimate to this way of eating, it makes fasting much easier.
Yes, you'll stay at relatively low fat percentages just by eating real food. Doesn't mean you can get to 12% body fat easily or something, but getting to 20% body fat with nature's foods is easy. Definitely the way to go before attempting fasting. There's no point in fasting if you're just gonna keep stuffing your body with bullshit foods all the time.
@@DrJasonFung I think it’s really interesting how, the minuet I cut out carbs, my caloric intake dropped dramatically. People say to avoid fat because of it’s high caloric density (and other reasons) but overlook its strong satiating effect. I fast for 4 days a week (96 hours) and I feel so much better. I never realized it until now but Eating all the time makes me tired, sluggish ,and uncomfortable. It’s scary to think that if I hadn’t seen your content I would still be feeling that way. The funny thing is I thought feeling like that was normal.
@@user-iw1oj6to4r It's great that u can fast for 4 days. But when I wake up at morning I feel like gas is filled in my esophagus which even exerts some opposite force when i drink water and if I don't eat until noon then i start feeling little burning sensation in upper abdomen region. Here in India, I've heard most doctors recommending to have 3 meals at fixed timings and nobody thinks skipping a meal is healthy (I.F). But one day I skipped Breakfast and Lunch, that whole day I was bloated and finally had my Dinner at 10pm. This is my situation. And i wonder how people can fast for days. Pls guide me because doctors can't help me as they don't consider fasting as a good thing.
In 2 months doing intermittent fasting my waistline is down from 38 to 33!, I used to be 1 X now can wear medium list dome belly fat too pre diabetic 74 yrs old thank you are a bless to millions of people God bless what you are doing yo mankind.
Great advice, really works! I am 63 years and was able to reverse T2 diabetes and lose over 30 lbs to get to normal range. Without feeling deprived or hungry. Maintaining is simple. Hurrah! Thank you so much! Best Dr ever.
Great! I am 60 and since menopause have battled weight big time. I had just recently resigned myself to being a hopeless sugar addict whose future is just being an old fat lady. I have done Weightwatchers successfully many years ago but it is so much cooking and buying ingredients that cant be found and endless exercise. I know all those diets are too high maintenance and wont last. This is a simple, logical approach. I have only started a couple 9f days ago and lost 5 pounds already. I am inspired. Whats even more incredulous about making the scales move is that I cant exercise much due to severe hip osteoarthritis.
@@geraldinegarcka5598 watch also Dr. Eric berg. He talk alot regarding KETO tha can be a turn off to many however if you look at the foods the are natural and the big thing is sugars and carbs processed meats like lunch meats other processed foods such as boxed food lipton. Exclude as often as you can those two things. This includes sweet teas even pre bottled green teas are filled with sugar.
"that's why you don't die in your sleep every night" I love Dr Fung. He's just so entirely relatable and real, as well as very informed about the science of the body. Learning so much!
This is exactly how I lost 6 kilos in 4 weeks, in total 10 kilos between April-September during lockdown! Well I did all what he said plus intermitting fasting 18/6. Best diet video in long - well done.
I've been doing keto and fasting, but still having a hard time losing weight. BUT, I still eat artificial sweeteners every day. So as of today, I'm cutting them out. When the doc says they don't work, I believe him.
Do you think sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit that claim natural zero calorie sweeteners are bad? Do they make you gain weight? Or they dont help you lose weight so its okay to eat them?
@@dulminadeeify Low insulin levels = weight loss + fixed insulin issues. Artificial sweeteners raise your insulin. Even if they have no sugar or calories, your insulin still goes up.
I have done steps 1-4 since I was 20 years old. Shop mostly at health food stores. Eat whole foods. Cook myself. Eat lots of veggies and I eat a variety of meats and fish and healthy fat. I am now 64. Over the past 10 years, I gained about 5 pounds a year. Most of it was on my belly. I got to a point (last year) when I realized that I was now OBESE! This did not feel good and it was alarming. I made a decision to lose the weight - not so much because of how I looked - but because I knew that it was affecting all my internal organs, my joints, etc. I had already tried to lose weight (instead of gaining it) for years and nothing worked. I didn't get it because I am NOT someone who eats the garbage that most people do. I drink mostly water and I monitor how much - about 64 - 80 oz. per day. I also drink a warm cup of lemon water in the morning. ANYWAY.... let's just say I have always done a TON of things to keep my body healthy - and YET - I gained the weight. I was about 40 pounds overweight. At that point, I stumbled upon INTERMITTENT FASTING! What a Blessing! It resonated with me so I started to incorporate I.F. into my life. That was about 10 months ago. Slowly the weight has been coming off. I have lost 34 pounds. Slowly is good - as it is the healthiest and most effective way to keep the weight off. I also added walking 3 miles, 5-6 times per week - briskly - so I work up a sweat! I was diagnosed last year with fatty liver disease and was SHOCKED! I don't drink, I don't eat or even purchase sugary foods - junk foods - EVER, etc. Yet I had the beginning of fatty liver disease. Since I started the I.F., that has gone away. Completely. I also know that I.F. can help diabetes. I don't have that issue and never have - but I was probably close to it. AGAIN, I.F. is the BEST way to "lose weight" -- but it's not just about losing weight - it is about helping your body and all the body parts to function well and not have to work harder and sometimes they cannot help you to function anymore if you do not treat them well. THANK GOD FOR I.F. I used to eat breakfast and always felt like I had been drugged. Especially if I ate the "healthy steel cut oats" - no sugar of any kind added - sometimes nuts or blueberries. When I stopped eating breakfast and fast EVERY SINGLE DAY now for 19 hours and have a eating window of 5 hours - THIS has given me my life back!!! I have so much more energy than I did before. I am so happy with I.F. I recommend it to EVERYONE!
Great to hear your story! I know most of us become more insulin resistant as we get older. IF and eating real whole foods, especially meat fish and eggs is changing my health for the better. Now I must increase my daily activity.. I work out but apart from that I'm sedentary doing only about 1500 steps a day if that! 3miles a day is awesome and a goal I need to set myself..
Mr.Raji Nevin, I read your entire comment and felt good. I do not know your nationality, but I am an Indian. Wheat and rice are our regular food. Just want to know, can I include it in my eating window? Also, I am a 51 year old woman. I weigh 86 kgs and fat lot of abdominal fat. Now I notice fat is everywhere....on my upper arms, hips and thighs too. How can intermittent fasting help me? I am sure I am insulin resistant bcoz I have fatty liver and abdominal fat too. How to control hunger? How to politely refuse food when we visit someone? What foods can I eat? Can I have bulletproof coffee while fasting? These are few of my question if you could plz find time to answer them. Thank You.
@@Cloppa2000 Thank you for such a complete story it is very encouraging Dr. Fong is fabulous for sharing fasting with all of us. You are helping us all live longer and healthier by sharing thank you
Give this Dr a Nobel prize he has saved many peoples lives.What he says works I am a testament to this without going into my personal life .Thank God for Dr Jason Fung .
I have tried everything and my weight doesn't come off even when I workout everyday. I'm gonna try fasting now. Thank you Dr Fung for clear instructions
I do 16.8 Fasting Monday to Friday, I do 20.4 Saturday and Sunday, so far I've lost 25lbs in 8 weeks, I start my first meal with full fat organic yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and pecan nuts and a pint of lemon water to wash it down, for my second meal, I'll have two poached eggs on one slice of high fibre wholegrain bread and a pint of lemon water to wash it down, for my last meal I'll have a large salad with lots of green leaf vegetables, with a lean protein such as turkey breast or chicken breast, or a mackrell fillet and of course a pint of water to wash it down, I can honestly say I'm losing weight and I'm not going hungry on this weight loss lifestyle plan, I'm just a little bit pissed off with myself for not doing this years ago, Happy Fasting Everyone x.
6:01 I researched Kellogs Cornflakes many years ago… and when I saw the actual process here in South Africa, I completely stopped eating all cereals etc. (Especially the bleaching process of corn when corn meal is made. It’s fully stripped of all B vitamins, fats etc. So, as you say: it’s a white powder. That’s it.
Just doing 14 to 22 hr fasts for 1.5 months I've lost 30lbs 🎉. I am 40 and will now fast at least 5 to 7 days a week for life now. So many benefits why would you stop! Thank you so much for all your content online Dr Fung. 😊
My wife who is in the medical field was skeptical of IF and remarked, who are these people and where's the research? I told her that Dr Fung is an MD, Her attitude changed after listening to his videos.
@@Patsysmiled Most people in general have a settled science approach to information. I had a Chem professor tell us that education was the continuation of taught ignorance.
I loss 70lbs in 7 months on IF since Covid started and working down to eating one meal a day in a 30 min- 1hour window while eating whatever I wanted like pizza, steak, fettuccine alfredo, shake shack burgers, haagen daz ice cream, crispy creme donuts, carrot cake, etc for dessert. In short I ate whatever I wanted during my strict daily eating window. Now I'm maintaining the weight loss into 2021 on a daily 6-8 hour eating window on mediterranean diet while still enjoying foods I love, walking, limit stress, and rest. All things in moderation is key. We got this
You are Gods gift! I have been so frustrated and confused by people pushing, vegan, carnivore, keto. It’s nice to here a logical approach which makes the most sense! Thank you so much for the work you do and the wisdom you share!
Great video sir! I'm down 30 pounds doing IF. Im on 5/2. I feel good and plan to keep this going as a lifestyle. It's interesting how people don't want to admit that this obesity epidemic has gotten out of hand. I'm doing this for me. So far so good.
Makes complete and total sense .... common sense even. Overeating and eating the wrongs foods doesn't make any sense if we really stop and think about it and quit letting the government and big corp tell us what to put in our bodies.
Dr. Fung, thank you for your work and insights into fasting. I am morbidly obese but over the past year have worked my way into and alternate day fasting lifestyle and while the weight loss is slow it is helping and I feel so much better physically and mentally! Reading your books and watching your videos had been a huge influence on my decision to start fasting. It makes so much more sense physiologically than any of the diet plans i have attempted. I have been obese from young childhood so I know it will take time to heal my body from the insulin resistance it has developed over the years. I am hoping to prevent diabetes and lower my A1C out of the pre-diabetic range as soon as possible.
I start 3 day Fasting every week on September 4rd and loose 20 pounds. I feel great, No RA pain, No leg cramps, Big thanks to DR Jason Fung, God bless you DR. 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
i was overweight once upon a time, tried lots of diets, slimming pills and teas, none of them worked, fortunately someone actually recommended agoge diet to me, never been happy with my weight loss journey
The magic in all of this, is that there is no magic! Just follow the steps and stick to the plan, and you will get there. Thanks Dr. Fung. Your info and books have helped my dad lose the need for insulin and other diabetes meds. His A1C is 5.1 and is doing better.👍🏾
The Dr makes it sound quite simple, it is. The secret is, “does one just talk or execute the plan”? Only a little willpower or effort make it successful.
Dr. Fung it is imperative that you know just how vital your videos and information sharing are to so many! LOVE your take and methods, your books, and all you stand for. You are truly helping people live healthier lives! Hoping you achieve the highest of accolades and feel great knowing how many of us act on your suggestions, and it's absolutely working!
Dr Fung I’ve been following you for years. I am a diabetic and that one time weigh 275 pounds. With an A1 C of 11. I bought your book followed your advice and have seen great success my A-1 C is now 6.3 and my weight is now below 200 pounds. If Covid hadn’t hit I would be farther along on my path but I got lazy. I’ve re-committed to the principles you’ve taught me and I’m using fasting for weight loss and seeing great success I just wish the whole world knew about you. You are awesome and you’re saving lives thank you Dr. Fung.
All the blessings for you, your family and team, Dr Fung. You have no idea the good you've brought to so many people worldwide. After being misdiagnosed and getting wrong treatment for months, and then going through the right treatment for an aggressive lymphoma, I ended up with 121 kg. I've lost more than 40 since I said ENOUGH in late November 2019 and took the decision to gamble all or nothing, to take drastic measures and research and experiment, made many mistakes of course, but kept at it and I found your books, podcast and videos, now January 2021 I'm just 3 kg from my ideal weight. Your work was one of the main pillars of my struggle to get out of the downward spiral my life was falling into. God bless you always.
I have done the same, and with the same result. I also need to pass urine at night much less frequently, and I don't need levothyroxine any more. I'm sure that my 'hormones' are in much better balance.
Dear Jack, I have started doing it week ago and I feel really week in the morning don’t feel like getting out of bed. How did you feel when you started were you also feeling the same initially. Plz help
It's due to a lack of electrolytes. Most people don't take in enough but when you fast your body needs much more. For a calorie free cheaper alternative to sports drinks mix in salt, "no salt" potassium, and baking soda into water daily. Your body will let you know if you need to increase or decrease the amount. If you are having a little diarrhea you've had too much salt. If you're cramping not enough. Check out snake diet on UA-cam. Cole is loud and in your face but truelly is all about helping people get the weight off and heal themselves. 👍
Dr. Fung brings a mixture of both scientific and holistic remedies with regards to overall health and longevity. Dr. Fung is good friends with Dr. Berg and at the end of the day everything leads to insulin resistance and cellular health. I am so very grateful for Dr. Fung, he is brilliant.
Thanks doc , your knowledge helps me , I fasted 78 hours last week , easier than I thought ,wanted go longer but figure I'll ease into it , I lost 3.5 pounds in three days . Anyway sugar is the hardest to quit for me .
Dr Fung you are such an agreeable person to listen to! I feel so happy when I hear you speak and explain everything about health, metabolism and fasting... everything seems so easy and accessible. I wish I could tell you that in person. I really believe you are a kind and smart person. Thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️😍
Thank you sooooooo much I've gone from 346 to 285 by using your channel and working out with all blanc I feel 100% better and feel this is somthing I can do long term your a peach love the channel
Thank you for you’re great videos! I’ve lost 31lbs in 6.5 weeks doing keto and intermittent fasting. What a revelation! Thank you! Everyone needs to hear you! 😊
Thank you for your wisdom Dr. Fung. I ned to lose 100lbs, and finally feel that you approach is something I can follow. Eating small meals throughout the day does not work for me, because, even though I eat nutritious foods, I have difficulty with portion control. I am now eating basically a keto diet, between five and eight p.m.. I am also walking my dog and will ride my bike as weather improves. I am surprised how easy it is to do without eating during the day, when I am busy, I don't even think about it other than to make sure I drink plenty of water from my Berkey. I feel confident your methods will work for me, and look forward to my next doctor's appointment and being able to show that I have actually lost twenty or more pounds. And, I have a walk-in closet filled with beautiful clothes, I know I will be able to fit into once again. That's brilliant! To say nothing about being able to move more freely again. Happy and healthy New Year to you and your family!
Im in rehab and my Dr told me about dr Fung so im new to this any pointers will be appreciated thank you Dr Fung obesity runs in my family unfortunately
Start with a fast from lunch to lunch. After eating lunch, no more eating until lunch the next day. Drink lots of water. 72-hour fast is the gold standard for resetting your insulin levels. Give your body a break from food!
Hello Dr Fung, I am so happy to watch a doctor finally talk about fasting and things to be done by patients instead of giving them medication and let them feel that they can not do anything on their own. THANKS.❤️ Marina from Paris, France
Thank you Dr Fung.. You are the first to talk about IF and make it work...Is the only diet who may become a way of life and eradicate obesity. It did for me ..You alone deserve a Nobel prize..
Thank you Dr Jason F, you're so amazing the way you teach this subject. I get motivated when I watch your videos I intermittent fasting every day. Still learning 66yrs young 47lbs less. I picked up 5lbs in 1 yr. Thank you I feel like I have to restart my thinking to prevent from slipping back to old eating I eat at 5pm once a day. Now I am on a longer fasting time because of Ramadan. Fasting is no problem when I think about how we become healthier. My family was amazed when I went down to 125 from 174, was gaining never weighed overc140lbs. At 66 I will follow your protocol for life. My daughter purchased your book as a gift for me , but its her reading I am watching your videos until I can borrow my book. 😆. Oh! By the way you can be so comical with some things you say, which helps me too enjoy your videos. Blessings too you and your family.
Salam Mr. Jones!! Congratulations on your new found health by intermittent fasting!! It’s wonderful to have Dr Fung teach us how to allow our our insulin levels to get back to normal. I’ve started intermittent fasting for a month and lost 10 pounds and also lost exhaustion, strong food cravings, and joint pain. Islamic fasting has been hard for me in the past, but about 5 years ago I realized headaches and nauseous feelings come from eating sugar foods the day before the fast. This week, I plan to intermittent fast as an Islamic fast also. God willing, it will go nicely. All the best to you. Peace
@@karenbuchert3377 Peace & Blessings, congratulations to you as well. intermittent fasting is such a great way to maintain spikes in cravings and insulin levels. I include limited carbs and no package processed foods. Intermittent fasting as Dr Fong explains has many metabolic benefits. Stay on your health journey because our body is a gift from the creator and should be treated with the highest respect. Enjoy life journey and enjoy Ramadan fasting is not difficult. The Blessings is the goal. As-Salaam Alikum
Problem is even fruits, vegetables are man made. None of the fruits and grains existed as we eat today, existed until man started to "breed" them for sweetness and sugar. Same with meat (grain fed) not good. Omega 3 to 6 ratio is way out of whack.
@@ricos6243 Difficult question to answer. Go for grass fed meats and eggs. Organic vegetables. Minimal fruit as low GI as possible. Is the ideal, but not always possible. But I try to do it as often as I can. Very tough and expensive to do.
I started IF March 1, 2021 and lost 13 1/2 lbs at 54 years of age. I am plant based. I was struggling with processed stuff. I started cleaning up my food. I had been doing 12.:12 and could not lose. I wasn't deliberately doing fasting I just don't eat after dinner. I felt like my body wanted more of this so I started doing IF with my sister. We support each other. I love it. I also exercise at least 3-4 times of week (resistance, strength and aerobic). I notice when I can go longer during the month and when I need to stay at 16:8.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung, since I listened to your videos I lost 8 lbs doing intermitent Fasting very low carb almost nothing sugar thank you am pre diabetic and 74 yrs old
Dr. Fung, thank you so much for all you do for us! I’m on my way to a healthier life. I’m 72 and have been a type 2 diabetic for 50 years. I have learned so much from listening to you and other doctors on u tube . Blessing
I absolutely LOVE you Jason Fung. I am in about to launch myself in the health industry and I direct clients to your material all the time. I have also studied in several relevant fields. I have lost weight in a variety of ways, fasting along with keto / paleo / low carb was by far the easiest and most pleasurable way to do the job. I lost 20kgs in 4 months with ZERO exercise (although I promote strength-based exercise). Keep doing what you are doing. You're brilliant. Thank-you.
I admire Dr Fung ! So grateful to see him winning the battle against western food industry ! Thank you for your common sense , humility and your drive to improve the human conditions , dear Doctor
your way is the only way doc. you saved my life with all this fasting treatment. thnkyou. and thnx for another great video. i watch them when i feel hungry or when im having a craving. it helps me to remember im doing this for my health.
I have lost 6 kg in 6 weeks( I was 70kg for 40 of years ) by followed your advice Dr Fung, my blood pressure and glucose is under control ( my type 2 diabetes) last week my GP took Bendrofluazide off from my prescription, hopefully Metformin my next checkup and I had ordered "The Diabetic Code Cookbook" are on the way. Hope you have a wonderful Chinese New Year. Regards.
Dr. Fung is great. His list is so helpful. Straightforward talk. Love it! Once you get fat adapted, I am, fasting is easy. Not hungry all day. I do OMAD easily. No problems. Not hungry all day. Look forward to my animal based dinner every night. I’m able to do one, two, and even three, day fast with these. I’ve lost 55 pounds in a relatively short period of time.I have a BMI of 24. I’m 63 years old and I’m at my junior high school weight. Work out five days a week which I think is also key to looking good and feeling good. I threw out (donated anything good) bags and bags full of old clothes that were two and three sizes too big for me. That was liberating. I went from 240 pounds down to 185 pounds at 6 foot one. I’m only sharing my story here just to encourage others to stay the course. Keep watching UA-cam carnivore/keto type of videos from all of your normal players, Dr. Barry, Dr. Sheffey, Dr. Baker, Dr. Fung, and influencers like zerocarb, etc., etc. etc. good luck
I like doctors like Jason Fung because everything he says makes a lot of sense. When I first started listening to him, it was almost like a light bulb went off in my head. Almost like I understood it on it Instinct level.
Thanks Dr Fung, I have become a fan of IF thanks to your clear simple explanations. It has been hard for me to shift the 5 kg gained during lockdown as 54 yrs old women, but I will stay en route. I think I need to adjust my macros more and give up the occasional diet coke.

I’m trying to get to one meal a day but it doesn’t come easily I hope that the year 2021 will be that year
I chuckle every time Dr Fung says, “That’s why you don’t die in your sleep every single night.”
but how would we know it if we died briefly and were revived by a leprechaun? Leprechauns are so small and difficult to see that many people think they don't exist.
If you have a cat you do. They're breath stealers.
I know hilarious love it
Or when he talks about muffins.lol
Also love when he says people don't eat sticks of butter. I always laugh and think he does not know me haha
There is a Nobel Prize for Medicine - Dr Jason Fung deserves that award!
I agree!
Absolutly more than that
100%
I agree!
I,m all in for him !
I've lost 69 lbs in 4.5 months thanks to Dr Fung. Life changing!
How? What did you do exactly?
Alternate aggressive fasting. No food just water for 24 hours, then just lunch and dinner the next day. Then no food for 24 hours, then just lunch and dinner and so on. Did that for about almost 2 months. But I also was eating healthy and working out. Now I just fast every once and a while and have kept the weight off. Total of 75 lbs lost and maintaining my goal weight
@@texas2far Thank you!
@@plum_loco just listen to your body and keep a strong mind. You can do it. God bless.
@@texas2far
Rolling 36’s pretty much. Nice work. I did pretty much the same except I added potassium and sodium to the water on fasting days. 50 pounds down since Jan 3 and it’d be more if I was more disciplined these last 6 weeks.
Protect this man at all cost!!!!
I made my goal weight today! Thank you so much! And slowly but surely my blood sugar is going down.
Awesome!! Keep up the good work; YOU CAN DO IT!! Much love and encouragement from Iowa, USA.
Thank you soo much dr. Fung.. 16 Kg in 2 months. Not prediabetic anymore. From Indonesia.
This guy is one of the BEST PHYSICIANS in the World.....I love this guy!!!!!
Every single time I get discouraged about weight loss, I listen to one of Dr. Fung's videos and I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS encouraged that I am on the right path, and not just for weight loss, but for overall health.
yeah I just started fasting this week and I'm still watching all the videos I can lol
hahaha, I looked for his video JUST for this reason. I'm not alone. Hope you've been making progress and even if not we can always start over in a second.
@@Whiteboard7 Thanks! Yeah, it does help to not only listen to videos like this, but also words of encouragement from others.
Same! Started a “fasting” playlist so I can go back and watch the videos that’s encourage me.
@@daringgreatly8473 Good for you! And wishing you the best on your fasting journey.
Removing refined grains/sugar and fasting have been game changers for me. I realize now why I was ALWAYS hungry before but barely hungry now. It wasn’t hunger. It was insulin.
It was insulin. 🎉 That's exactly what I learned from Dr.Fung. He did a seminar long ago that's life changing. It's here somewhere on YT.
"The alternative would be to skip it completely, which is always an option." I love that he said that about breakfast 😊
Yes! I love that he said that too!
Dear doctor you may not fully appreciate how much hope you have given many many people to be healthy. I just want to reiterate my gratitude to you for taking your time to help humanity. And you must be a very busy man. We cherish you for your encouragement and also your expertise because you are a very talented doctor. Thank you
Well said.
So true. Genuine...and not money hungry
Whopping amount is needed for to get medical degree and to start hospital so it's doubtful that other doctors can accept this free and excellent treatment.
Amen
You are absolutely right. He explains clearly and precisely in simple words. Great
I am losing weight and belly fat for the first time since menopause at 45. I finally have hope for better health. Thank you for giving me a way that actually gives lasting weight loss. It is so simple, and every doctor needs to recommend this process and dump calorie restriction that totally doesn’t work. I am feeling better than I have felt in 20 years!
Great Job!
Virginia, at age 54 I can relate ! I do alternate fasting now but eased into it and I feel great
Try ray peat approach !
@@jacquelineb8778 how do you do your alternate day fasting? Eat regularly today then fast the next and break with a meal before bed or do you eat only 500 calories on your non fating day then fast next day for few hours or entire day?
@@anir8023 Whats that?
Can we also please acknowledge the obvious lack of jump cuts in all of Dr Fung's videos. Straight talk straight through. Just another small but meaningful observation lending more credibility to the message. Thank you!
Dr. Fung, I am glad that at the top of your list you put the elimination of sugars and refined carbs first, before you worked your way down to fasting. While many can jump into fasting, for others it is difficult. I always find that when you remove sugars and carbs first, and allow your body to acclimate to this way of eating, it makes fasting much easier.
Yes, you'll stay at relatively low fat percentages just by eating real food. Doesn't mean you can get to 12% body fat easily or something, but getting to 20% body fat with nature's foods is easy. Definitely the way to go before attempting fasting. There's no point in fasting if you're just gonna keep stuffing your body with bullshit foods all the time.
Great point!
@@DrJasonFung I think it’s really interesting how, the minuet I cut out carbs, my caloric intake dropped dramatically. People say to avoid fat because of it’s high caloric density (and other reasons) but overlook its strong satiating effect. I fast for 4 days a week (96 hours) and I feel so much better. I never realized it until now but Eating all the time makes me tired, sluggish ,and uncomfortable. It’s scary to think that if I hadn’t seen your content I would still be feeling that way. The funny thing is I thought feeling like that was normal.
@@user-iw1oj6to4r It's great that u can fast for 4 days. But when I wake up at morning I feel like gas is filled in my esophagus which even exerts some opposite force when i drink water and if I don't eat until noon then i start feeling little burning sensation in upper abdomen region. Here in India, I've heard most doctors recommending to have 3 meals at fixed timings and nobody thinks skipping a meal is healthy (I.F). But one day I skipped Breakfast and Lunch, that whole day I was bloated and finally had my Dinner at 10pm. This is my situation. And i wonder how people can fast for days. Pls guide me because doctors can't help me as they don't consider fasting as a good thing.
@@user-iw1oj6to4r my husband always needs a ‘rest’ after eating because he eats what he shouldn’t 🤷🏼♀️

Great advice, really works! I am 63 years and was able to reverse T2 diabetes and lose over 30 lbs to get to normal range. Without feeling deprived or hungry. Maintaining is simple. Hurrah! Thank you so much! Best Dr ever.
Great! I am 60 and since menopause have battled weight big time. I had just recently resigned myself to being a hopeless sugar addict whose future is just being an old fat lady. I have done Weightwatchers successfully many years ago but it is so much cooking and buying ingredients that cant be found and endless exercise. I know all those diets are too high maintenance and wont last. This is a simple, logical approach. I have only started a couple 9f days ago and lost 5 pounds already. I am inspired. Whats even more incredulous about making the scales move is that I cant exercise much due to severe hip osteoarthritis.
@@geraldinegarcka5598 watch also Dr. Eric berg. He talk alot regarding KETO tha can be a turn off to many however if you look at the foods the are natural and the big thing is sugars and carbs processed meats like lunch meats other processed foods such as boxed food lipton. Exclude as often as you can those two things. This includes sweet teas even pre bottled green teas are filled with sugar.
I notices how he didn’t say exercise. He knows that diet is the most important part of any weight loss journey.
Because you will lose weight even without exercise
Exercise will help though
@@mjkaelsy5002 exercise will just speed up results imo.
Yes he’s correct, 80% is food 20% exercise
You need keep your body toned it’s healthy

I fell off the wagon over Christmas. Have put on roughly 4kg. Getting back to it today.
January is a perfect month for fasting, unless, you or your children have January birthdays
It's like August ;)
You’re not the only one! 😜
What did you eat/drink?
I got a stomach flu Christmas Eve, so I did a natural fast several days....actually ended up loosing a couple of pounds these holidays😂😂
Good Luck
"that's why you don't die in your sleep every night" I love Dr Fung. He's just so entirely relatable and real, as well as very informed about the science of the body. Learning so much!
"You don't see a package of granola bars growing on a tree" 😂. I really love Dr. Fung's analogies.
😂😂😂 thx for dumbing it down for us Dr Fung. That sounds sarcastic, but I mean it. He needs to dumb it down for us!
Yes he makes me chuckle. He has his funny moments.
Eat lotsa fruit off of trees!
Right lol thankful for him
Except money tree 😂
This is exactly how I lost 6 kilos in 4 weeks, in total 10 kilos between April-September during lockdown! Well I did all what he said plus intermitting fasting 18/6. Best diet video in long - well done.
Did you workout
I've been doing keto and fasting, but still having a hard time losing weight. BUT, I still eat artificial sweeteners every day. So as of today, I'm cutting them out. When the doc says they don't work, I believe him.
Do you think sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit that claim natural zero calorie sweeteners are bad? Do they make you gain weight? Or they dont help you lose weight so its okay to eat them?
@@dulminadeeify Low insulin levels = weight loss + fixed insulin issues. Artificial sweeteners raise your insulin. Even if they have no sugar or calories, your insulin still goes up.
@@dulminadeeify Those are natural sweeteners. Monk fruit has zero calories.
I see that you mentioned zero calories--sorry about that. Monk Fruit does have carbs but it's okay on a Paleo diet.
@@VoraciousLime oh really? I thought these artificial sweetner that are natural and no calories or sugar...has no impact on insulin...
I have done steps 1-4 since I was 20 years old. Shop mostly at health food stores. Eat whole foods. Cook myself. Eat lots of veggies and I eat a variety of meats and fish and healthy fat. I am now 64. Over the past 10 years, I gained about 5 pounds a year. Most of it was on my belly. I got to a point (last year) when I realized that I was now OBESE! This did not feel good and it was alarming. I made a decision to lose the weight - not so much because of how I looked - but because I knew that it was affecting all my internal organs, my joints, etc. I had already tried to lose weight (instead of gaining it) for years and nothing worked. I didn't get it because I am NOT someone who eats the garbage that most people do. I drink mostly water and I monitor how much - about 64 - 80 oz. per day. I also drink a warm cup of lemon water in the morning. ANYWAY.... let's just say I have always done a TON of things to keep my body healthy - and YET - I gained the weight. I was about 40 pounds overweight. At that point, I stumbled upon INTERMITTENT FASTING! What a Blessing! It resonated with me so I started to incorporate I.F. into my life. That was about 10 months ago. Slowly the weight has been coming off. I have lost 34 pounds. Slowly is good - as it is the healthiest and most effective way to keep the weight off. I also added walking 3 miles, 5-6 times per week - briskly - so I work up a sweat! I was diagnosed last year with fatty liver disease and was SHOCKED! I don't drink, I don't eat or even purchase sugary foods - junk foods - EVER, etc. Yet I had the beginning of fatty liver disease. Since I started the I.F., that has gone away. Completely. I also know that I.F. can help diabetes. I don't have that issue and never have - but I was probably close to it. AGAIN, I.F. is the BEST way to "lose weight" -- but it's not just about losing weight - it is about helping your body and all the body parts to function well and not have to work harder and sometimes they cannot help you to function anymore if you do not treat them well. THANK GOD FOR I.F. I used to eat breakfast and always felt like I had been drugged. Especially if I ate the "healthy steel cut oats" - no sugar of any kind added - sometimes nuts or blueberries. When I stopped eating breakfast and fast EVERY SINGLE DAY now for 19 hours and have a eating window of 5 hours - THIS has given me my life back!!! I have so much more energy than I did before. I am so happy with I.F. I recommend it to EVERYONE!
Great to hear your story! I know most of us become more insulin resistant as we get older. IF and eating real whole foods, especially meat fish and eggs is changing my health for the better. Now I must increase my daily activity.. I work out but apart from that I'm sedentary doing only about 1500 steps a day if that! 3miles a day is awesome and a goal I need to set myself..
Mr.Raji Nevin, I read your entire comment and felt good. I do not know your nationality, but I am an Indian. Wheat and rice are our regular food. Just want to know, can I include it in my eating window? Also, I am a 51 year old woman. I weigh 86 kgs and fat lot of abdominal fat. Now I notice fat is everywhere....on my upper arms, hips and thighs too. How can intermittent fasting help me? I am sure I am insulin resistant bcoz I have fatty liver and abdominal fat too. How to control hunger? How to politely refuse food when we visit someone? What foods can I eat? Can I have bulletproof coffee while fasting? These are few of my question if you could plz find time to answer them. Thank You.
Mr nevin thank you for your testimonial on IF. It helps people like me to keep on trying. Thank you sir.

I have tried everything and my weight doesn't come off even when I workout everyday. I'm gonna try fasting now. Thank you Dr Fung for clear instructions
I was in the same boat. Now I'm down 20 lbs. On the fung
I do 16.8 Fasting Monday to Friday, I do 20.4 Saturday and Sunday, so far I've lost 25lbs in 8 weeks, I start my first meal with full fat organic yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and pecan nuts and a pint of lemon water to wash it down, for my second meal, I'll have two poached eggs on one slice of high fibre wholegrain bread and a pint of lemon water to wash it down, for my last meal I'll have a large salad with lots of green leaf vegetables, with a lean protein such as turkey breast or chicken breast, or a mackrell fillet and of course a pint of water to wash it down, I can honestly say I'm losing weight and I'm not going hungry on this weight loss lifestyle plan, I'm just a little bit pissed off with myself for not doing this years ago, Happy Fasting Everyone x.
6:01 I researched Kellogs Cornflakes many years ago… and when I saw the actual process here in South Africa, I completely stopped eating all cereals etc.
(Especially the bleaching process of corn when corn meal is made.
It’s fully stripped of all B vitamins, fats etc.
So, as you say: it’s a white powder. That’s it.
Just doing 14 to 22 hr fasts for 1.5 months I've lost 30lbs 🎉. I am 40 and will now fast at least 5 to 7 days a week for life now. So many benefits why would you stop! Thank you so much for all your content online Dr Fung. 😊
I started IF last month in December as my New Years resolution. I figured if I got a head start, I'd be more likely to keep it going. So far so good!
You got this!
Did you stick to it ? Still fasting ?
My wife who is in the medical field was skeptical of IF and remarked, who are these people and where's the research? I told her that Dr Fung is an MD, Her attitude changed after listening to his videos.
Good on your wife, the people in the medical field are usually most set in thier ways and are not open to alternative theories
The people working in health care are the most dogmatic people 😳

Great job!
I loss 70lbs in 7 months on IF since Covid started and working down to eating one meal a day in a 30 min- 1hour window while eating whatever I wanted like pizza, steak, fettuccine alfredo, shake shack burgers, haagen daz ice cream, crispy creme donuts, carrot cake, etc for dessert. In short I ate whatever I wanted during my strict daily eating window. Now I'm maintaining the weight loss into 2021 on a daily 6-8 hour eating window on mediterranean diet while still enjoying foods I love, walking, limit stress, and rest. All things in moderation is key. We got this
You are Gods gift! I have been so frustrated and confused by people pushing, vegan, carnivore, keto. It’s nice to here a logical approach which makes the most sense! Thank you so much for the work you do and the wisdom you share!
Great video sir! I'm down 30 pounds doing IF. Im on 5/2. I feel good and plan to keep this going as a lifestyle. It's interesting how people don't want to admit that this obesity epidemic has gotten out of hand. I'm doing this for me. So far so good.
What is 5/2?
Makes complete and total sense .... common sense even. Overeating and eating the wrongs foods doesn't make any sense if we really stop and think about it and quit letting the government and big corp tell us what to put in our bodies.
Dr. Fung, thank you for your work and insights into fasting. I am morbidly obese but over the past year have worked my way into and alternate day fasting lifestyle and while the weight loss is slow it is helping and I feel so much better physically and mentally! Reading your books and watching your videos had been a huge influence on my decision to start fasting. It makes so much more sense physiologically than any of the diet plans i have attempted. I have been obese from young childhood so I know it will take time to heal my body from the insulin resistance it has developed over the years. I am hoping to prevent diabetes and lower my A1C out of the pre-diabetic range as soon as possible.
I start 3 day Fasting every week on September 4rd and loose 20 pounds. I feel great, No RA pain, No leg cramps, Big thanks to DR Jason Fung, God bless you DR. 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
great!
Impresive. I have done this only for 8 days and I have lost 1.5kg
Thank you so much for the continued support!
i was overweight once upon a time, tried lots of diets, slimming pills and teas, none of them worked, fortunately someone actually recommended agoge diet to me, never been happy with my weight loss journey
The magic in all of this, is that there is no magic! Just follow the steps and stick to the plan, and you will get there. Thanks Dr. Fung. Your info and books have helped my dad lose the need for insulin and other diabetes meds. His A1C is 5.1 and is doing better.👍🏾
The Dr makes it sound quite simple, it is. The secret is, “does one just talk or execute the plan”? Only a little willpower or effort make it successful.
Dr. Fung it is imperative that you know just how vital your videos and information sharing are to so many! LOVE your take and methods, your books, and all you stand for. You are truly helping people live healthier lives! Hoping you achieve the highest of accolades and feel great knowing how many of us act on your suggestions, and it's absolutely working!
Dr Fung I’ve been following you for years. I am a diabetic and that one time weigh 275 pounds. With an A1 C of 11. I bought your book followed your advice and have seen great success my A-1 C is now 6.3 and my weight is now below 200 pounds. If Covid hadn’t hit I would be farther along on my path but I got lazy. I’ve re-committed to the principles you’ve taught me and I’m using fasting for weight loss and seeing great success I just wish the whole world knew about you. You are awesome and you’re saving lives thank you Dr. Fung.
You are so good. I am a biochemist and admire your simplistic way of explaining. God bless you
All the blessings for you, your family and team, Dr Fung.
You have no idea the good you've brought to so many people worldwide.
After being misdiagnosed and getting wrong treatment for months, and then going through the right treatment for an aggressive lymphoma, I ended up with 121 kg.
I've lost more than 40 since I said ENOUGH in late November 2019 and took the decision to gamble all or nothing, to take drastic measures and research and experiment, made many mistakes of course, but kept at it and I found your books, podcast and videos, now January 2021 I'm just 3 kg from my ideal weight.
Your work was one of the main pillars of my struggle to get out of the downward spiral my life was falling into.
God bless you always.
I've been doing intermittent fasting for about 18 months and lost about 8 pounds, but my waist has reduced from 36" to 32" and lost my man boobs.
I have done the same, and with the same result. I also need to pass urine at night much less frequently, and I don't need levothyroxine any more.
I'm sure that my 'hormones' are in much better balance.

It's normal mate. It's called Keto flu, we all had it. In another few days it'll go away, so don't worry too much about it.
I thi k ur scale is broken
It's due to a lack of electrolytes. Most people don't take in enough but when you fast your body needs much more. For a calorie free cheaper alternative to sports drinks mix in salt, "no salt" potassium, and baking soda into water daily. Your body will let you know if you need to increase or decrease the amount. If you are having a little diarrhea you've had too much salt. If you're cramping not enough. Check out snake diet on UA-cam. Cole is loud and in your face but truelly is all about helping people get the weight off and heal themselves. 👍
Successive fasts seem to get easier and I feel much better overall. Here's for a year of fasting excellence.

That’s unhealthy
Lol...losing weight is unhealthy. Ok.
Thank you for your wisdom Dr. Fung. I ned to lose 100lbs, and finally feel that you approach is something I can follow. Eating small meals throughout the day does not work for me, because, even though I eat nutritious foods, I have difficulty with portion control. I am now eating basically a keto diet, between five and eight p.m.. I am also walking my dog and will ride my bike as weather improves. I am surprised how easy it is to do without eating during the day, when I am busy, I don't even think about it other than to make sure I drink plenty of water from my Berkey. I feel confident your methods will work for me, and look forward to my next doctor's appointment and being able to show that I have actually lost twenty or more pounds. And, I have a walk-in closet filled with beautiful clothes, I know I will be able to fit into once again. That's brilliant! To say nothing about being able to move more freely again. Happy and healthy New Year to you and your family!
Im in rehab and my Dr told me about dr Fung so im new to this any pointers will be appreciated thank you Dr Fung obesity runs in my family unfortunately
Start with a fast from lunch to lunch. After eating lunch, no more eating until lunch the next day. Drink lots of water. 72-hour fast is the gold standard for resetting your insulin levels. Give your body a break from food!
I think a TV show with Dr Fung would help a lot of folks and even save a lot of lives!
The man has wonderful credibility and integrity. Thank you so much Doc!

Thank you Dr Jason F, you're so amazing the way you teach this subject. I get motivated when I watch your videos I intermittent fasting every day. Still learning 66yrs young 47lbs less. I picked up 5lbs in 1 yr. Thank you I feel like I have to restart my thinking to prevent from slipping back to old eating I eat at 5pm once a day. Now I am on a longer fasting time because of Ramadan. Fasting is no problem when I think about how we become healthier. My family was amazed when I went down to 125 from 174, was gaining never weighed overc140lbs. At 66 I will follow your protocol for life. My daughter purchased your book as a gift for me , but its her reading I am watching your videos until I can borrow my book. 😆. Oh! By the way you can be so comical with some things you say, which helps me too enjoy your videos. Blessings too you and your family.
Salam Mr. Jones!! Congratulations on your new found health by intermittent fasting!! It’s wonderful to have Dr Fung teach us how to allow our our insulin levels to get back to normal. I’ve started intermittent fasting for a month and lost 10 pounds and also lost exhaustion, strong food cravings, and joint pain. Islamic fasting has been hard for me in the past, but about 5 years ago I realized headaches and nauseous feelings come from eating sugar foods the day before the fast. This week, I plan to intermittent fast as an Islamic fast also. God willing, it will go nicely. All the best to you. Peace
@@karenbuchert3377 Peace & Blessings, congratulations to you as well. intermittent fasting is such a great way to maintain spikes in cravings and insulin levels. I include limited carbs and no package processed foods. Intermittent fasting as Dr Fong explains has many metabolic benefits. Stay on your health journey because our body is a gift from the creator and should be treated with the highest respect. Enjoy life journey and enjoy Ramadan fasting is not difficult. The Blessings is the goal. As-Salaam Alikum
To quote the great Jack Lelanne "if man made it, don't eat it."
Loved that Guru
Problem is even fruits, vegetables are man made. None of the fruits and grains existed as we eat today, existed until man started to "breed" them for sweetness and sugar. Same with meat (grain fed) not good. Omega 3 to 6 ratio is way out of whack.
@@fromthepeanutgallery1084 So if it's all bad what do you eat?
@@ricos6243 Difficult question to answer. Go for grass fed meats and eggs. Organic vegetables. Minimal fruit as low GI as possible. Is the ideal, but not always possible. But I try to do it as often as I can. Very tough and expensive to do.
I started IF March 1, 2021 and lost 13 1/2 lbs at 54 years of age. I am plant based. I was struggling with processed stuff. I started cleaning up my food. I had been doing 12.:12 and could not lose. I wasn't deliberately doing fasting I just don't eat after dinner. I felt like my body wanted more of this so I started doing IF with my sister. We support each other. I love it. I also exercise at least 3-4 times of week (resistance, strength and aerobic). I notice when I can go longer during the month and when I need to stay at 16:8.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung, since I listened to your videos I lost 8 lbs doing intermitent Fasting very low carb almost nothing sugar thank you am pre diabetic and 74 yrs old
I enjoy watching Dr Fung's videos. Simple, clear and to the point. A welcome reminder to the basics !
Glad it was helpful!
Dr. Fung, thank you so much for all you do for us! I’m on my way to a healthier life. I’m 72 and have been a type 2 diabetic for 50 years. I have learned so much from listening to you and other doctors on u tube . Blessing
Salad dressings contain high sugars levels too!
And are so easy to make for yourself!
I absolutely LOVE you Jason Fung. I am in about to launch myself in the health industry and I direct clients to your material all the time. I have also studied in several relevant fields. I have lost weight in a variety of ways, fasting along with keto / paleo / low carb was by far the easiest and most pleasurable way to do the job. I lost 20kgs in 4 months with ZERO exercise (although I promote strength-based exercise). Keep doing what you are doing. You're brilliant. Thank-you.
I admire Dr Fung ! So grateful to see him winning the battle against western food industry ! Thank you for your common sense , humility and your drive to improve the human conditions , dear Doctor
Wisdom always seems so simple. Thank you, Dr. Fung!!!
I just want to say thank you Dr Fung !
You really changed my life and leaded me to the best way for better health!
Thanks Dr. Fung and may you have a healthy and happy 2021.
your way is the only way doc. you saved my life with all this fasting treatment. thnkyou. and thnx for another great video. i watch them when i feel hungry or when im having a craving. it helps me to remember im doing this for my health.
I have lost 6 kg in 6 weeks( I was 70kg for 40 of years ) by followed your advice Dr Fung, my blood pressure and glucose is under control ( my type 2 diabetes) last week my GP took Bendrofluazide off from my prescription, hopefully Metformin my next checkup and I had ordered "The Diabetic Code Cookbook" are on the way.

Happy new year Dr. Fung. I am your regular follower.
Dr. Fung is great. His list is so helpful. Straightforward talk. Love it! Once you get fat adapted, I am, fasting is easy. Not hungry all day. I do OMAD easily. No problems. Not hungry all day. Look forward to my animal based dinner every night. I’m able to do one, two, and even three, day fast with these. I’ve lost 55 pounds in a relatively short period of time.I have a BMI of 24. I’m 63 years old and I’m at my junior high school weight. Work out five days a week which I think is also key to looking good and feeling good. I threw out (donated anything good) bags and bags full of old clothes that were two and three sizes too big for me. That was liberating. I went from 240 pounds down to 185 pounds at 6 foot one. I’m only sharing my story here just to encourage others to stay the course. Keep watching UA-cam carnivore/keto type of videos from all of your normal players, Dr. Barry, Dr. Sheffey, Dr. Baker, Dr. Fung, and influencers like zerocarb, etc., etc. etc. good luck
I like doctors like Jason Fung because everything he says makes a lot of sense. When I first started listening to him, it was almost like a light bulb went off in my head. Almost like I understood it on it Instinct level.
Thanks Dr Fung, I have become a fan of IF thanks to your clear simple explanations. It has been hard for me to shift the 5 kg gained during lockdown as 54 yrs old women, but I will stay en route. I think I need to adjust my macros more and give up the occasional diet coke.
Thanks for sharing the Knowledge, Dr Fung.
Many Blessings to You and Yours
Same to you!
Thank you, Dr Fung. I love how you talk gently to us, explaining the essentials.
Thanks a lot Dr. J. Fung. You are the best of all Doctors.Thanks Loving God. 🤟💖👍
