I love Dr. Fung! His videos started me on my journey two years ago through fasting to get rid of snacking. I then continued onto to a Keto diet, then onto Carnivore. Eleven months into Carnivore I am continuing to fast 16 to 18 hours every day. I now am weighing what I did in high school (at age 63). I feel like I have my life back. If it wasn’t for Dr. Fung and all the Keto and Carnivore influencers out there, I have doubts I would be where I am today. It’s never too late to start taking control of your health. Thank you for interviewing Dr. Fung!
I don't follow influencers. The word makes me almost cringe. If by that you mean knowledgeable people like Dr Jason Fung, Dr Anthony Chaffee, then we're talking about health care professionals not influencers.
They all influence me whether they have MD behind their name or not. Even Dr. Berry refers to his fellow colleagues as influencers. Kerry from Homestead How does not have a health degree but he definitely influences me. There is no disrespect behind how I worded my comment.
Influencers influence you to start or continue doing something.
Fasting, Keto and now carnivore works for me and I feel Great👍
I feel fantastic when fasting. There are times I keep on fasting because I am not hungry when my eating window opens. My energy stays at a higher level. Ive always believed we dont need to be eating all day and dont need 3 meals a day. Its too much food.
Most days, one meal is enough for me.
There’s still hope for the humanity with pioneering healthcare champions like Dr Eric Westman and Dr Jason Fung.
I like your name on here, lowcarblowdrama
Absolutely
A low carb diet & fasting is what worked for me. I found Dr. Fung when I looked up Fasting for Diabetics.
worked for me too
Only thing that has worked for me too. 62 yo female who has been doing daily intermittent fasting with no carb/Carnivore for 9 months. Went from 185 to 143. Feeling great. Dr. Ken Berry and Dr Jason Fung are both a wealth of information on this topic.
Same here , Dr Fung teaching impacted my health in a very positive outcome
@@whatwverishsjg
☺️I'm glad to see people getting results when lowering their calorie intake.
Dieticians told everyone they had to eat 6 times a day. It was dieticians who went after Tim Noakes and Gary Fettke
Hopefully not all dietitians. The nutrition courses I've taken nearly all have a plant based bias but some people can think for themselves and don't worship their degree.
I fasted for two weeks and had blood work done at the end of the second week. My Glucose went from 115 to 80. My triglycerides dropped over 100 to ~162; however, my cholesterol shot through the roof and now my doctor's nurse, who I have never spoken to, recommended a prescription for statins based this single situation. I'm slated for another test in a few months, but no way am I going on statins when the non-fasting test done less than a month earlier (higher triglycerides, higher glucose since I ate protein 3 hours before the test, much lower total chol + LDL and higher HDL) less than a month prior. I think the problem is doctors these days don't really know how the body works, don't have the latest study data in their purview, and don't know their individual patient's situations. They just look at numbers and make decisions based on the data in front of them without contextual awareness.
Good point. They don't get their averages from folks who have fasted for two weeks, that's for sure. Wonder where those averages do come from....
Dr. Ken Berry says if you’re getting a blood test, to only fast for 12-14 hours beforehand, so don’t do an extended fast, because it can mess with all sorts of numbers.
And you’re right about doctors not knowing how the body works or the big picture. First off, Dr. Berry talks about LDL in lower carb/keto/carnivore people where 1/3 decreases, 1/3 stays the same, and 1/3 increases. I’ve also heard Drs (maybe Ovadia or Bikman) talk about how statins are useless, except for maybe people who have already had a heart attack, and research is saying that higher cholesterol is protective, especially as one gets older. Not to mention, what is high is determined by mostly unhealthy people eating a SAD, so that could very well differ quite a bit in those eating lower carb. Also, I forget who said it, but I remember one doc saying statins address the wrong part of cholesterol if you’re trying to prevent heart attacks, and that the drug companies manipulated the numbers to make it seems as if they’re more effective than they are.
If someone has been fasting, or is LC/keto/carnivore, then they are in fat-burning mode. What the lab measures for cholesterol is actually lipoprotein nutrient transporters that also contain cholesterol. When in fat-burning mode, fat is packaged into LDL by the liver as a fuel source for your cells. So it's completely normal that in fat-burning mode LDL production goes high. If you want to get a lower measurement, just go out of fat-burning mode before the next test by eating a couple of high-carb meals the day before. Your body will switch to carb-burning mode so the liver will reduce LDL production and your doctor will be happy with the resultant lab test.
I'm not a scientist, but it seems to make sense that your cholesterol/fats went up while fasting. If you are bringing fat out of the cells for energy, which happens while you are while fasting, is it surprising that there is more cholesterol being shuttled about?
Statins KILL
God Bless Dr. Jason Fung! He has changed the lives of so many people. Actually he has saved the lives of so many people! 🙏🙏
I tell my kids I was in high school sports last two years of the 70s and first two years of 80s, and we went to track practice without a snack! 😱we didn’t have water bottles. We had a fountain. Then I went home after two hours and I didn’t eat then either!😨We waited for my dad to get home from work before eating dinner. Nobody died! Say it isn’t so!!! When my kids were in soccer and baseball, I hated that I was expected to bring a sweet snack and sugary drinks for after practice.
Amazing isn’t it - the food industry has a lot answer for
Yes! This is it.
I did regional gymnastics and would train after school. No water bottles. Snacks? What on earth was that? We had a sandwich or 2 for school and that was it. Then dinner was at 7 or 8 pm.
My teenagers are grown now, but the constant need to stuff their faces really irked me.
We need to revert back to the good old days ..we didn't eat or snack whenever and no drinking all day long
The only time we had 'snacks' was when playing basketball in a tournament, and we had orange slices for hydration. Ah, the Wonder Years! Sad that it's true.
Fasting and the Carnivore diet has helped me tremendously!
***Update***
Went to my doctor. I'm down 25 pounds. I told her about how I fast a couple of times a week. She was like, "Starving yourself isn't the answer...." blah, blah, blah.
Her advice went in one ear and out the other.
Fasting works for me!!!!
It’s so weird how people always frame fasting as starving yourself. I need to lose weight. Clearly I’m not starving. 😂
Some doctors are idiots
They had they perseverance to get through med school and that’s the end of their qualifications
@@Merknilash100%
Some don’t have any common sense at all. For too long people have put Dr’s up on a pedestal and saw them as Gods. I stay far away from these indoctrinated Big Pharma pill pushers.
@@MerknilashTHIS. And their arrogance. Oh my god.
I started intermittent fasting 133 days ago after viewing several videos of Dr Fung. I have dropped from 196 lbs to 169lbs. My triglycerides went down from 370 to 80. My fasting blood sugar dropped from 112 to 98. My A1C dropped from 6.2 to 5.7. I have been doing a 16:8 IF regiment. I made subtle changes in terms of what I am eating such as using Stevia Select vs Splenda and using Prymal coffee creamer vs Coffeemate creamer. Those changes in the morning for coffee has decreased my insulin response I believe. I am 5’5” and am a busy physical therapist. I feel so much better and think I stopped the progression of becoming a type 2 diabetic. I can not thank Dr Fung enough for helping me understand how and why IF works. I am now empowered to change my health and well being and hopefully can be a motivator for my patients I work with.
I am a Plastic Surgeon from Philippines. Patients have a hard time believing me when I say LC diet because of my specialty. I started embracing LC since 2018
Where are you from??
Do you tell them they will have to give up their RICE? I had a Philippina coworker say she’d rather die than give up her rice. 😳
@@DebraRN1195 Always. If she does not give up I say wait till your glucose start going up and your waistline start widening more. Either way she has to change her wardrobe. Either way she spenda more. In the Philippines rice is now expensive and one can save by not buying rice.

Dr, fung thank you so much. I was a pre diabetic and now my morning sugar level is normal , within 70 and 90 every morning over a year now. And also through your teaching, i did advice my two friends who are diabetic and they are all free from diabetes no more insulin shots. We all appreciate u so much. Is our prayer that u stay long on earth to help more people.
Dr Fang makes so much sense!!! People say you need to eat all the time because they wanted to sell you their processed foods so they can make profit.
Love you dr Jason fung.you r saving millions of lives
Considering how much bad information I’ve gotten from doctors. I am surprised that you’re surprised that we don’t trust doctors like we used to. or instance, just eat less go on the American diabetes diet and you lose weight it’s perfectly safe I’m glad to hear that you are more educated and understand that it is not perfectly safe.
Watching these two talk and geeking out about a topic they know very well brings a smile to my face. It's kind of like when Tony Stark and Bruce Banner talk about science.
Their passion is infectious and you can listen to them for hours.
I remember how good I felt when I fasted before a colonoscopy. It was an eye-opener for me and I use it often now, just to feel better.
I felt like absolute crap from a colonoscopy.
@@AnnabellaRedwoodthat’s because you shit too many nutrients out after they give you the diarrhea juice
Dr. Fung whom many of my friends worked with when he had a traditional nephrology practice is so sharp! Especially in comparison to this Doctor Who could probably use a prolonged water fast. This isn’t a dig, fasting really does sharpen the brain
Gave dr Fung’s diet book to two doctors. Both really liked it! Can only inspire a few st a time.
Awesome Doctor Fung and Doctor Westman ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello my dear ❤ how are you feeling today hope you’re having a great day? Are you one of my best fan ?

Remember the Little House on the Prairie books? They were always doing chores before breakfast.

Fun fact:
In Spanish, the word for breakfast is ‘desayuno’, which is composed of des = “un” and ayuno = “fast”. So breakfast is an “un-fast”.
The word in English is break fast. Breakfast, break fast. It's intended to mean breaking your fast it doesn't matter when we eat it. Our brake fast meal can be at 2:00 p.m. or at 6:00 p.m.. It is primarily the cereal manufacturers who are responsible for the idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Well I'm not sure about that. Farmer, for example, left early in the morning & didn't eat anything but a lite supper when they returned home late st night. So breakfast was the most important. IDK if factory workers were given lunch breaks either before the advent of labor laws in the 1930s
@@mariad1151farmers ate some breakfast and had a HEARTY dinner at noon
Then supper later at 5ish
They ate ALOT and burned thru it
Even a factory worker wasn’t using near the energy amounts that farmers and other laborers were
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I don't know about that...3 meals
In Estonia, the word for breakfast means literally "morning food". Historically, the heaviest meal here has always been at around noon and the lightest in the evening, when farmers came back from the fields. This started changing because of urbanisation during the 20th century. Fun fact from our part of the world: one was never supposed to go outside before eating a little something as it was believed that it brings diseases, death and misfortune if you hear birdsong with an empty stomach. This was because the migrating birds were believed to spend the winter in the underworld.
Thank you!
You two are absolutely fabulous doctors. Hope you've considered teaching at medical schools. Thank you so much for putting this information on UA-cam making it available for us who feel a little lost after visiting the doctor's office.
I think they both do. Dr Westman is at Duke University in North Carolina. Not sure if Dr Fung does or not.
Thank you both!
Great video! 👍🏽
Thank You both🙏❤️
I started my health endeavor with Dr. Jason Fung and reading his books. I use a combination of IF/TRE (16/8) and LC. As a former T2D, this works for me. I don’t eat highly processed foods anymore.
Great discussion by two of the best!
I wish everyone could listen and comprehend this information. Thanks for the interview, and both of your continued work and support in this very important area.
This was a great interview. ❤💜
So interesting and informative by two leading experts, very enjoyable, listened whilst relaxing with my eyes closed. Jo UK 🙂
Thank you Dr Fung for your info on fasting, Thank you Dr Westman for your info on ketogetics

Love this interview ..from South-Africa where poor Dr Tim Noakes live
Two good doctors leading the way.
Nice to see you again Amy. I signed up for the wait list. I think I could use support to stick to keto. Been straying with sweets and starches. And sure there are things in my life I'd like to change or achieve but have not been successful changing them yet. So don't think I am putting health as my focus to avoid them since health is important too. Just frustrated on many levels and sugar and starch are easy to get and a quick short term fix.
I have the Dr Fung fasting book - it's incredibly interesting and useful.
New to fasting but love it!
Thank you, Dr. Westman and Dr. Fung. I have learned so much from your YT videos.
Hello
Im currently on day 29 of a 40 day water fast. I have never felt better.
Edit: I am likely going to extend my fast beyond 40 days but as of yet I haven't decided for how long.
curious if you are doing this on your own or are you at a fasting clinic?
@@denisecohn2974 On my own. This is my 4th time around. I was thinking about starting one actually.
Every year, I do an end of year 40 day fast. Good for you!
WOW!
Keep us posted
Excellent video series- extremely informative. Lately I’ve been fasting for 18-20 hours a day before engaging in a low to no carb meal. I feel better than ever! Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
Thanks Dr. Westman for challenging Dr. Fung on this issue. I understood what you were trying to do, and I read his whole book The obesity code, because I'm dealing with I believe hyperinsolemia and excessively overweight. I didn't have an issue with my sugar, but blood pressure was the issue, and a lot of inflammation, and water retention. So I knew something was wrong, I do think the carb count is still important to be mindful of, along with intermittent fasting so to speak, because it does count what you eat during the times you are feasting, and I get fasting is good to keep your insulin down, but when it's raised, what you're eating is super important.
You both are in my list of health heroes.
Where are you from?
Whu are you constantly interupting Dr Jason Fung...give the guy a chance to speak
God bless these two doctors! big pharma are certainly not happy with having people that teach us to cure any disease through the power of our body healing itself with the way we eat ❤ God bless!
I useally fast only eating 2mad. But right now Im with Bronchitis and have to eat to take the meds. Im going to go to once a day as soon as Im well. Thank you for these discussions, they are invaluable! I dont eat many carbs, maybe just 5 a day when I do.
Oh my goodness, docs who speak nuance! Since I'm familiar with you both I already knew this and credit both of you for over 5 years of eating keto, now carnivore, and fasting. Thank you for all you do.
@drwestman...@adaptyourlife....I respect you so much, but please stop interrupting your guest when valuable information is being provided.
Basically I’m giving a like just for the two of these men having a chat…. 💚💚💚💚💚
Since I turned 40, fasting (IF) every day the way I used to doesn't work for me anymore. I now eat fast according to my cycle, and it's been so beneficial. I eat way more healthy fats, and I eat healthy carbs on certain days, too.
I’ve been looking into fasting and trying out OMAD for a while. I have an inbody scale so I’m interested is seeing what the results will be over the next few weeks.
I’m near Toronto and love Jason Fung. The early Christians/Jews fasted 2 days per week from sundown to sundown the next day. Isaish 58:8 says our health will quickly be restored with fasting
Interesting
Is it dry fasting? Because it is very similar to the Islamic fast,
I am fasting our Islamic fast on monday and thursday from sundown to sunset,a dry fast of course we have two meals one at sunset and the other we can skip it if we want (before sundown)
and I am getting good results my numbers are becoming more normal.
Interesting interview. Love to see Jason work with some pro bodybuilders during their bulking phase or pro powerlifters trying to reach 400+ lbs.
***** the easiest way I have found to fast for weight loss… 90 pounds for me is a rolling fast. What this is is you stop eating and start a timer, you go as long as you comfortably can, for me that’s usually 72 hours. Stop the timer. You have a meal that satiates you, I’m vegan so for me it’s usually a large salad with beans or lentils tofu and an olive oil vinaigrette. Then you start the timer again and go for as long as you comfortably can. For me that’s usually another 72 hours. Rinse and repeat.
I don’t know that many people can go through a 72 hour fast to start
Wow, the diabetes medication and fast food ads were all over this one. Look the other way! Nothing here to see! Too funny!😂 Thanks for the great information!
How about the relevance of CKM s? Measuring ketones could motivate sufficiently long fasting and show that energy is there in the shape of ketones .
Thanks Jason I saw you on a program years ago. Started on keto and lost 60pounds . Now carnivore and never felt better. My friends think I am nuts!❤
Congratulations on you weightloss and all the positive changes
People will definitely think you are nuts but it's typically folks that don't want to address their obesity and like eating garbage. Facts. Keep on and keep the blinders on and don't even talk to people about what you are doing. We have to do what works for us as individuals.
These interviews are great, but if I could just have one critique it would be to stop interrupting the interviewee when they're talking. Let them finish their thought before jumping in. Just my unsolicited 2 cents worth.
So many people do that, they want everyone to know how smart THEY are, vs. letting the guest expert have the floor. Kinda pathetic.
Thank you for this info. I, currently on a 3 day fast. All the doctors, nutritionist,dieticians always recommended carbs on my eating plans even though I told them that carbs increases my glucose levels. When I finally through process of elimination reduced carbs to 0-7g my diabetes levels are now normal🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have lipedema and fibromyalgia , high cholesterol and would like to lose about 30kg. Still cannot keep weight off even tho I eat between 1500-2000 calories , I’m on protein and fat only. No veg nd no fruit. Any advise from anyone with similar issues that can help would be appreciated.
When I fast I have more energy & clarity. Fasting has help me tremendously♥️🌷♥️
Will the lab was be recorded?
Dr. Fung, 104lbs, 5.2 workout daily, problem i have is A1c 7.2. should i do the diet you recommended?
I’m having a hard time getting enough protein in if I only eat once a day. How is it possible?
I could have done without all the interruptions.
Two medical heroes here.
Too much interruption...but good overall.
Yom Kipur is 25h full fast including water and there are few more during the year ...
No water during Yom Kippur
Do you have any advice for Typ 1 diabetics? I obviously give myself less insulin but seem to bloat after about sixteen hours, and when I finally eat again, I need to inject a lot more insulin to digest the same amount of food. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks for your great video knowledge that sounds very logical
I always look at obesity as a symptom of chronic hyperinsulinemia, just as CV disease, T2D, Alzheimer's, NAFLD, many cancers, etc. are symptoms of hyperinsulinemia. Obesity is NOT the disease. It's just another symptom albeit a very visible one.
Disagree. Check out Ben Bikman. Many obese are not insulin resistant & many thin folks are. Depends on your fat storage system & whether or not fat cells expand or proliferate. If they proliferate, you can stay relatively healthy.
Obesity has more to do with fashion than it does with ones health. A body builder is technically obese. But even when you're talking about body fat it doesn't tell you much about a person's health. Unless you specify where the fat is.
@@rawmilkmike Yup BMI should not be used because it is basically useless....fat % is far more useful.
@@rawmilkmikeThat depends upon the definition of obesity that you look at. Obesity is having too much body fat, which is different than being overweight or having a high BMI. The BMI and body weight charts fail in that they don’t take into consideration the body composition and should ever only be used as a screening technique. Your eyes can easily tell you the rest of the story.
@cherylbouschor7641 Very few doctors are good at spotting illness simply by looking at someone. For the lay person, it's even more difficult. Most people will assume someone is unhealthy just because they look fat. Doctors are often guilty of this.
How do i fi 31:43 nd a doctor in my area to help me manage my health with this type of doctoring?
Feeling inspired...... besides gluten and other bad carbs, bad processed oils and food, what else can I avoid to improve health and well being, constitution, longevity, immunity, mental and brain health?
Strength training 2-3 times per week
Dr Sten Ekberg (here on YT) is all about this as well, brilliant guy, lots of yays & nays there too.
There was a couple of doctors here in Nova Scotia, that were 'in hot water' in the 80s and 90s. They were not focusing their practice completely on allopathic medicine, using nutrition and a more 'whole patient' approach. They were MDs, and people would travel a long way to attend their clinic. I believe the College eventually drove them out. It's great that we have educators like yourself and Dr. Fung so readily available now. Thank you, what a great collaboration.
The pharmaceutical industry has created a major, major industry at the peoples expense! So many are deceived out there. 😢
Should I be concerned that my RT3 is “high” (per my doctor) due to fasting?
If eating breakfast makes you want to eat all day than your eating the wrong foods for breakfast. I eat a big breakfast, egg and meat, cheese omelette with avocado, kimchi and olives. And I'm not hungry until dinner at 3 or 4 than I'm full untill next day.
I lost 100lbs doing keto. Relaxed and gained 20lbs back. Keto didnt work so well 2nd time round so I started OMAD and 20g of carbs but still didnt lose the extra weight so i started R72s. I regained the weight I'd lost with my first meal. I then did a 16 day water fast but felt ill so gave up. I'm starting carnivore today.
Love fasting blended with ketovore, but through 100 pounds of weight loss also lost a great deal of lean body mass. Muscle. Very difficult to drop large amounts of weight, and hold onto needed muscle.
I started my journey 4 years ago with 320 pound. Loosing more or less 2 pounds per month doing a 1 to 5 days fast by the end of the month whatever is required to loose my 2 pounds. 3 times per week resistance training and I increased my lean body mass by a great deal. Lost till now also 100 pounds with 16/8 intermittent fasting and 2 meals a day
20 pounds to go and I will be happy
Different carbs effect people differently my husband is diabetic started eating rice each day and lost weight + some intermittent fasting but not able to eat any bread he immediately puts on weight ok with baked potatoes
No longer diabetic after 27 yrs losing the reversed it
pls stop interrupting Dr Fang 😮😅
Fung. Dr. Fung
Do yall take multivitamins when you fast?
using my blood sugar test strips found out that potatoes, corn , rice ,and oatmeal and grains shot my sugar way up high for 5 hours , went from 9.1 to 4.3 in 6 days hurray 😎
Oatmeal is the healthiest. High in fiber and lowers cholesterol
@@Joemil271incorrect
Same.
If you cook potatoes, rice, beans, and pasta, allow them to cool down completely, then chill them in the refrigerator a few hours before eating them, you will convert them from simple carbs into resistant starches that are then slowly digested, reducing glucose spiking by 30-40+%. Cook, cool, chill, then eat hot or cold. Reheating these converted starches doesn't alter their new resistance levels at all. So, cook a big batch of rice, pasta, beans, and potatoes, store them in the fridge and add them to recipes/meals over the course of a week to enjoy them without the unwanted extra starch.
@@tuss1252 It was debunked by someone on youtube. He used glycometer or smth.
I am concerned about fasting times in the elderly after hearing Dr. Donald Layman on with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. He believes that the elderly (and I am 71) should not fast for periods longer than 24 hours and eat 4 meals a day because our weight loss may likely include lean muscle mass which will be hard to gain back. I lost weight quickly on keto when I first started 4 years ago but the amount included lean muscle mass which I could not afford to lose and it's taken time and work to regain it.
There needs to be more emphasis about what are appropriate fasting periods for the elderly as well as the importance of protein for us rather than just weight loss.
Well, yes, we need more nuanced information
based on science. I agree with you.
I am not able to fast because I used to starve myself. I would be too hungry if I had to fast. I've lost a lot of weight on carnivore and gotton off one diabetes tablets without fasting. I would encourage elderly people to eat more meat, and go low carb then fast a lot. Or at least they need to be monitored by doctors. You don't want falls, you don't want cracked heads from low blood pressure from fasting.
I'm no doctor but the idea of eating 4 meals a day.... doesn't that, according to this video, mean you are going to keep your insulin levels high? Also, I think at the end of the day the question isn't about fat or protein, it's about eating nutrient dense whole foods and listening to your body.
The elderly generally don't eat enough protein period. TRE is better for them but they might just benefit from more protein and then doing some resistance training. If no resistance training, you lose muscle because your body sees no need for it.
If older people eat enough protein amd lift weights rhey can build muscle. A lady at our gym looks fantastic, she is 70 and has the best arma of any woman of any age in there. She does IF too. Use it lose it, but you have to fees it protein.
Well u look pretty good for 71 :) I'm a mere 70. Rapidly achieved my ideal weight on high fat ketovore. Lost fat but not muscle as I maintain some weight training, and know my supplements. Protein powder, creatine monohydrate etc. I'm happy with 16/8 IF which gives you most of the benefits. I'll occasionally do a 24 hour fast if I feel my body needs a reset. These docs give great advice but you have to do what's right for you.
pov: I wished we could get rid of the archaic word 'calorie' and replace it with 'energy' and energy should be on par with carb gms. comments welcome!
Why does it take all day to lower my glucose when I'm doing keto OMAD, and eating enough protein on a nice salad for dinner the night before? My number stays in the high 90's.
Insulin resistance means your body isn’t as good at reducing your glucose and takes longer to do it
So you are describing a classic symptom of insulin resistance
Fasting and continuing this diet should reduce that
I generally fast intermittently on my carnivore diet (a large steak & eggs lunch generally) - Carnivore Diet leaders recommend to eat enough meat until you're satiated - These habits will (at least) [1] Lead you towards your optimised weight (from either direction); & [2] Improve your general metabolism & microbiome. At 58, I have lost ~26kg (from 130 to 104) with daily/moderate exercise in 4 months, on this diet. I had also been fasting whole days twice per week (Mon+Fri), but recently I've changed to (Thu+Fri) - A ~70hour fast! Perhaps this measure is too severe for this podcast, but reason is to experience autophagy benefits, which is supposed to kick in after 48 hours. 🐄
I eat very little red meat and pork. Very high in fat and cholesterol
My doc, also from Toronto, is completely ignorant about reversing T2 diabetes, keto or low carb, and even intermittent fasting. More education is needed for docs on this critical subject. Just prescribing drugs without tackling the underlying disease does not solve the problem. I've been learning from Dr. Fung for 2-3 years now and do OMAD and IF, with great results. I also strength train fasted. This collab was really useful and fun to listen to. Dr Fung recommends max 50g of carbs/day..interesting.
They prefer subscribing pills
Most mainstream doctors are… indoctrinated -so to speak-to all the wrong stuff and can’t let it go.

❤❤ to Jason Fung & W for caring for people❤️❤️. You can just tell these Drs luv their patients & want to help them. 🥼
I’m surprised there is so much controversy about fasting among doctors….
Carnivore does work but fasting and low carb is easier.
I lose weight on carnivore but I can't do it full time but there are days that it just happens
Fasting has been amazing since I discovered it, but the recent news in the media that claims its a cardiovascular risk, heart disease risk among others, what do any doctors think?
That is a lot of bs! Watch what dr. Ken Berry has to say about that topic on YT.
Poorly designed and poorly concluded study per several medical professionals.
i don't remember anyone recommending eating 10-12 meals/day. He says people in ICU weren't eating. Not true, they were getting calories through IVs
They got hydration via IV. Not calories. I am an ICU nurse w 30+ yr employment in ICU.
Or a feeding tube.
@@joandmary0815 They sure can if the IV has sugar in it, which is common.
I never eat junk like sodas.. Cookies.. Cakes.. Candy.. Only eat twice a day.. Cook most of my meals.. The worst I eat is potatoes and occasional sub sandwich or hot dog on the road.. Not very often.. Still fat.. So I'm doing a 50 day fast (not my first long fast) and going back to my high school weight.. Hopefully
24:26 why not? actually being in ketosis has many benefits for the health, and even more so if you do it on carnivore)
I look at your fasting video. That you. Still didn't mention if you drink water.
