Dr. Fung (@drjasonfung), i've always wanted to ask how is Ozempic (and similar) drugs any different, in the end result, than fasting? I asked myself this question, then saw your videos and I am now a regular faster. I've done multiple 3 day water fasts and have lost quite a bit of weight and have managed to keep it off.
Hi Dr.Jason fung. I'm 28 Its been 1 year and I was diagnosed to have medulloblastoma..my treatment regimen for the same is over as of now i.e finished Surgery,chemo and radio Rx for the same. Since it's a malignant tumor and it can recur at anytime and no advanced studies are there for adult medulloblastoma..can I do intermittent fasting? What will be the benefits I gain?pls help
plz make a video about the current research of AHA which claims that IF can increase our risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases by 91%. is it true or not?
Congrats on your 27 kg WOW. Great job staying focused on healing your body. Yes, these Rx weight loss drugs have a ton of major side effects including CANCER and DEATH. channel 60 min Australia has even done reports on this deadly rx drugs warning people not to take it.
I have been on Wegovy for 2 months. I have had none of the negative side effects and it has also drastically helped my anxiety and depression. I have no more cravings for junk food, and I find myself reaching for whole foods more naturally. It is an absolute game changer in my own personal experience.
I was on Semiglutide for a few weeks. It showed me how much I have been eating because I was bored or out of habit. After it I eat more consciously. I'm simply aware of how I feel and what my cravings mean. It simply straighten up my relationship with food. Loosing weight was just a side effect of it
I already fast, I already have gastroparesis and nausea and early satiety .. fasting is the best thing I've found.. but if I have sweets it all goes out the window and I'm starving and I want sugar all day
I just wanna say thank you Mr. Fung. My weight dropped from 100kg to 86kg in 2 months. I am wearing CGM and confirmed every bit of your words. In Hong Kong, lots of people keep wondering why "some people no matter how much they eat , they keep a good body shape and some gaining lots of weight by just drinking water", I think you have solved this myth - IR.
Thank you for all your efforts.... 70lbs lost in 6 months - swimming everyday riding horses again, sleeping at night and excitedly anticipating first grandbaby later this year. 🎉🎉🎉 Feeling like I have a key to stay at a healthy weight for life. fingers crossed 🤞
Thank you for explaining this Dr. Fung! I'm so thankful this was not an option for me when I needed to lose weight. I'm thankful I found your videos, books and lectures to teach me how to control my hunger and lose 160 lbs by eating healthy keto and learning how to fast. ❤️ I'm 60 and three years ago I weighed almost 300 lbs and was a metabolic mess. Now, I'm maintaining great and loving my fasting lifestyle. It's reversed ALL my health issues and I'm medication free 😃. Thank you for all you do for us 😊🙏
Sixty minutes Australia has posted several youtube stories about fatal side effects caused by the GLP-1 meds. I could never use it as I had pancreatitis about twenty years ago.
Thank you Dr Fung for sharing this information. Ozempic may not be for everyone, but it certainly has helped many lose weight and improve their health.
I was on Ozempic for 9 months and it was awful. I had terrible side effects and was in constant pain, although I did lose 35 pounds. It wasn’t worth it at all. Now I fast and eat whole foods and have had much better results, without any pain.
I purchased your book and am half way into it. Total in and get it on the truth of obesity being a hormonal issue. I’m not a “reader” because of the struggle with OCD, but The Obesity Code has my attention and me grasping for the next sentence. Thank you for providing this information to the public. Much love.
I'm going on 62 years old and diabetic and I've a weight problem.....my doctor prescribed me ,ozempic after 2 months of injection i almost died of a heart attack my doctor unprescribe it ....for the 2 months everything that i ate tasted like rotten eggs...5'3"and weighted 220 lbs since my heart attack i change my eating habits i don't eat meats now i weight 170 lbs still got a little way to go but the weight is staying off ... I'm writing this so for people to be aware and those who is taking this just to lose weight there's is a danger.... hope this help someone....stay safe God bless
6:18 This is what I like about Dr Fung: he gets that hunger is central to weight gain/loss, as in the long run hunger determined how much we eat, and thus drives how many calories we consume. It's all about how hungry we are relative to how many calories we actually need. That's why telling patients to count their calories, or to control their portion sizes, or anything like that, is always going to fail, because it leads to hunger. People, in the long run, eat until they are satiated, and that depends on all sorts of factors beyond the exact number of calories they have consumed. Two meals with the exact same calories can have vastly different abilities to curb your hunger.
Exactly, it's far more simpler and reliable to just fast for a specific amount of time. OMAD is a very good strategy as well as going on a water fast for 1-2 days.
Counting calories does work for me.... until it doesn't. It becomes very overwhelming and adds extra mental stress and ends up causing emotional distress because Counting calories constantly keeps food on my brain. I'm so tired of thinking of food all the time
I lost all my weight using fasting (went from an XL to an XS in 6 months) :) BUT a lot of people don’t count calories correctly. All you’re meant to do is eat an appropriate amount for your underlying body size, but you can do this by eating huge amounts of heathy foods that are low in calories in one or two meals each day. You don’t have to be hungry at all, but can still become slim and healthy. If you’re only eating one meal a day but overeating (like stuffing your face with chocolates and ice cream etc) you won’t lose weight. You still have to be aware of what you’re eating. I never counted calories personally, but also entirely changed my diet so I knew I was eating high volume foods lower in calories (like huge salads with steak and many different kinds of plants and vegetables in) :) Counting calories “doesn’t work” only because so many people do it wrong and eat like a tiny slice of pizza instead of a massive steak salad, both of which have the same amount of calories lol
My experience with ozempic was the complete opposite of this. I had no nausea or illness but real food tasted like dirt and I couldn't stop eating junk food. I hadn't eaten junk food in 5 years prior to starting this drug. I gained 20kg in 6 months on ozempic and finally found the courage to just stop taking it despite being told that I need this medication and to keep increasing my dose. I'm now losing weight and feeling great with a clean keto diet. No junk food cravings anymore.
I am on Ozempic for diabetes. I lost 60 pounds, my cravings for sugary junk foods disappeared and I craved low carb foods and proteins, and felt great. No nausea, no constipation. I was off of it for about 2 years, for insurance authorization reasons, but now am back on it again and doing great. It’s a good drug for my diabetes.
@@Eris1701: wow! Yeah - cuz I’m scared now - hearing some horrible stories - and APPARENTLY: especially once a person STOPS taking it > heart attacks and strokes, etc…!! My doctor JUST STARTED me on it last week - first w/ a low dose > 0.25 - It does sound like Ozempic actually works quite well - I have been pre-diabetic for about 2.5 years - highs and lows …and my family genetics don’t help w/ my overweight, and I’m a female - age 51 - & so all the menopause & hormones are NOT helping me TRYING to lose weight either… & I eat slow and all & go hill walking for a good hour & more almost every day & swimming…. Help!
Wow this is so interesting as there are so many different response to our bodies being on ozempic. I was on it for a year for diabetes2 and on keto with v v low carb. I experienced 1 kg weight loss for the entire year which I gained back with a little more. There was absolutely no change with my blood sugar levels of 13+ daily morning fasting ( during the day my levels were between 3.5-6) . I went off it and tried my mom’s diabetic medication for a day, sugar was down to 8 the next morning!!! Now finally after lots of trial n error I am seeing some results on both weight and glucose drops in morning 5-6.5 🙌🏽🌈💜
Finally! An official video with you about Ozempic. Thanks Dr. Fung. Now do Mounjaro. :) I was in your beta testing fasting groups with Meghan back in the day. I was actually on ozempic for a year and didn't lose anything and actually started to gain weight. My doctor recently switched to Mounjaro and it seems to be working better for me. If you could also do a video about how these drugs affect those that are T2, that would be amazing. You saved my life all those years ago and I value your thoughts. Thank you!
They put my husband on that fir T2D, and it made him violently sick. We threw it in the garbage! I myself an doing OMAD and ketovore and I'm feeling fantastic and loosing weight. Perfectly satiated.
thank you for this. fortunately, i was convinced by you and other youtubers that i should eat only once per day, eat mostly Keto, and fast a couple of days every now and then. i'm never hungry when i do this, and i almost never eat vegetables and try not to eat glutins. so, i'd never take 'ozempic', but the temptation lingered to try something new, just from boredom...
The Fungster strikes again! I love the matter-of-fact Dr. Fung presents data and the easy-to-understand analogies. I lost and have maintained a good weight with IF.
I was on this in Canada over a year and it didn’t do anything for me except keep me sick . I’m not sure if it has to do with me not having a gallbladder? I’m now doing omad and using Berberine. I hope this helps. Thanks for all the information u share with us.
Thanks again Dr. Fung. Your info is clear, direct and humorous. You sure don't want to eat blue cheese if you are tossing your cookies. LOL. You are a national treasure.
Dr. Fung, thank you for speaking out against the conventional grain in the medical community. I’m a nurse practitioner and I was wondering if you could explain the mechanism of muscle loss typically found in long term GLP-1 patients compared to patients who fast tend to have muscle sparing while still achieving lipolysis. Thank you again for all you do!
Can you do another one on Ozempic? Do you like this? Is it replacing insulin for diabetics? And how/when/how often to eat vs intermittent fasting, or not, etc when using Ozempic? Thank you!
I noticed that my toe nails was dark so I went to my doctor's office for some blood work and my A1C was 5.7 that is border line type two diabetes. At the time all I ate was pizza, garlic bread, french fries and burritos. I changed my deit immediately all I aet was chicken, turkey and red snapper fish. I also got some over the counter medicine from Walgreens called doctor Stephanie's (blood suger 24 hours and carb and sugar blocker) weight loss program. I went back to my doctor's office after four months and my blood sugar levels was 91 my A1C was 5.1 I did not have deibetes. My doctor told me I can eat some wild rice and RYE bread if I want so I added those two to my new deit. This is my success story.
Thank you for this Dr. Fung! I really respect and appreciate your work! Can you do more videos about controlling hunger while fasting for those of us not on pharmaceuticals please?
I lost 70lbs in 6 months last year, no loose skin, using fasting and high intensity interval training (following Chloe Tings free UA-cam challenges). I’ve maintained effortlessly for 7 months now, using OMAD and trying to not eat too many processed carbs and refined sugars. Not sure what Mr Fung is going to say about ozempic as just started the video, but it’s extremely expensive and you have to stay on it forever or else you’ll gain the weight back. People who go on it for weight loss are also reporting a huge range of horrific side effects including their g3nitals peeling and worse 😱 On top of that, many have reported very little weight loss. It’s NOT WORTH IT when you can do it naturally and experience lasting health and vitality as a result 💚
@@femme7097I mostly used OMAD but did some ADF and 72s depending on how I was feeling ^_^ I always focussed on my health and nutrition so only fasted as long as I was still feeling strong enough for the HIIT and walking :) I built some muscle during this time using mostly only my own body weight and became a lot stronger and more agile over the course of the 6 months which indicates I was eating enough during my eating windows even during longer fasts 🙏🏻 (some people do it incorrectly and just waste away while reporting a lot of weakness etc, but daily HIIT seemed to be like a “magic key” for me) :)
@@femme7097 omad is just one meal a day. And try to make it a healthy one with healthy fats, protein, good carbs and magnesium. I too lost 50 lbs in just a few months and a total of 80 lbs in a years time. Fasting, working out and good rest is the absolute best thing for your body.
QUESTION : my 80-yr old mom has been diabetic for 25 years or so, she has horrible eating habits and an insulin pump. She sometimes has dangerously low dips in the middle of the night (40 😳😱). Is there any way to EASE her into fasting? Also, when her sugars start to drop (100-70) then they plummet. She thought the pump would help normalize the crazy ups and downs (she’s had it five years) it has not. Thank you for all your information, much appreciated 💜
Thanks Dr Fung! As soon as I heard delayed gastric emptying, vomiting came to mind because I vomiting when I can't adequately digest whatever I've eaten. Intermittent fasting and carnivore = no hunger pangs.😊
Dr Fung, could you please make a video explaining the interaction of natural sweetener (stevia, monk fruit etc.) and our insulin level post ingestion? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
These videos are so informative. Thanks Dr. Fung for the way you so clearly present important health information. I am truly greatful. I would like to add something to the conversation. It's important to eat nutrient dense foods and get away from the common nutrient depleted foods in the (SAD) Standard American Diet. Fake foods that are high in calories, low quality and have little to no nutritive value. (It's mostly grains, seedoils, sugar, sodium and chemicals) Our bodies need and crave vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids, flavinoids, phyto chemicals and other compounds easily assimilated by our bodies, only found in Nature not a Labratory. These vital nutrients are not in, but taken out of processed foods for shelf life and profits. Not to mention all the toxic chemicals and additives in coporate mass produced "food products... they call it "food product" because legally and technically it's not food. We are all sick, fat and hungry because we aren't getting what the body is craving for and that's Critcal Nutrients in their proper un- molested form. Grow as much of your own food as possible in living soil and buy locally from farmers using regenerative farming practices. Avoid eating Corporate frankenfoods. Good health To all on this Earthly Journey. 😇✌️ (edit) Had to laugh at the ad that ran during this video for a 1 month supply of Ozempic for $225.00... Thats insane. Don't be fooled, Fasting is better for you and dosent have the side effects 89% of people are experiencing. Please spend your hard earned money on nutrient dense food instead.
So glad I discovered Dr Fung! I have lost 30kg through fasting and earing whole foods, no drugs, no surgery, no expensive programs or ineffective supplements! I've kept the weight off now for over a year. I wish everyone thinking of trying Ozempic would just try fasting first!
And here comes my story: this is my fifth week on ozempic..the first four i had some nausea and rush on skin like big mosquitoes had bitten me. Fifth week and this all has vanished. My cravings for chocolate have vanished i eat a lot more healthily and i have no cravings for junk food at all. Also i took up exercising. I have lost already five kilos. I am diabetic type 2 and i also have hasimoto which is a metabolic syndrome and means my body takes longer to metabolise food and sugar. My doctor is very careful and i trust her so with caution and regular check ups i am on the ozempic journey. Let's see how it goes so far all good
Not just North America Jason... its the whole first world! I am on Ozempic here in Australia. It is very hard to fill a prescription sometimes, but most of the time I can buy it. I have found that I get the satiety but not the other two side-effects. I have never had nausea on it. Over my intermittent fasting, strict carb intake and Ozempic use, I have lost (and am still losing slowly) more than 30kg.... it feels so good to know that I am able to keep the weight off ... I have been on this way of life/eating for 2 years now. Thank you Jason, you have been a major part of my journey!
@@rachkate76you don’t know that! Maybe for some people it has but it might not for this person. No one can say for certain how an individual will respond on or off a medication. There’s no need to be so negative towards someone. There was absolutely no reason to make that comment.
I have always deal with binge eating currently taking Mounjaro and let me tell you this is no hunger suppression for me I need to add low carb intermittent fasting and some extended fast. My weight loss has been so slow because of PCOS and insulin resistance.
I have no problem with intermittent fasting (18-6) and a low carb diet. My problem is late night snacking because I have a bad habit of going to bed very late. Around 12 midnight, I get the munchies or cravings and I end up snacking. The bad thing is that I’m not even hungry and just do it out of boredom and/or habit. On my last Dr’s visit, he suggested I take Ozempic to lose weight but I declined it. I don’t need meds to help me feel full. I do get full with my normal portions of food. It’s just the bad habit of late night snacking that ruins any effort I make to do my intermittent fasting effectively. I also need to be more active. As a borderline diabetic I need to get a grip and make some lifestyle changes soon. ☹️
Snacking at night is a hard habit to break but it can be done. I trained my body a little at a time beginning with no eating past 9pm and before sunrise. Years later I have no desire to eat at night. Absolutely none. Ghrelin waves are intense around 4-5 pm. But even fasted, by 6 pm ghrelin calms down and I'm good for the night.
I used to have the same eating at night problem. I never got ahead of it until we moved our large meal to 3 to 4 hours earlier in the day. This was not possible until I retired (my husband had already retired). I was willing to try this, but doubted it would work. I’m not that hungry at 2pm, but we eat the main meal of the day by 2pm on most days. The first few days I was still hungry late evening, but then 3 to 4 days in, the evening hunger DISAPPEARED. I was shocked. I seldom experience hunger or “munchies” now, and it’s great. I hated that feeling. I still mentally know what’s in the fridge or the pantry, but I have no desire to get up and eat. If your lifestyle permits eating your main meal much earlier, give it a try.
Thanks for sharing. You make a good point about that mental power. Most of us, especially those of us who follow Dr Fung and Meghan Ramos, know what to do and just a bit of honesty gets to the root of our problems. We all need to get a grip and be honest with the type of food, how much we eat and when we eat. Once we do this, then is about respecting ourselves and our decision to get healthy and stay healthy. I am saying this to myself😅 our minds are incredible, I am trying to make that mental switch myself.
I have this very problem, it's sooooo annoying. I eat very healthily and have zero cravings all day then night comes and I find myself marching in and out of the kitchen. It's totally due to a bad habit, I have zero hunger. I will train my brain to get used to the new " no food after 9 pm routine" . It will be an herbal tea or NOTHING.
Dr Fung, may i ask a question related to ozempic with fasting? I do water fast for 48-hours weekly for weightloss, I noticed that the benefits of fasting lies in lowering insulin, but ozempic produce insulin? how does that work? should i do my fast together with Ozempic? thank you.
Hey Dr Jason is there anyway you could do a UA-cam video on being “insulin deficient”? My father has lost a lot of weight and is very malnourished. I would like to know a healthy way for him gain weight while being a diabetic
Now I am doing intermittent fasting on daily basis and not fasting on certain special day, and only eat when hungry and stop before feeling full. Feel better in live and has more energy. I don't want to do extended fasting yet because I still 18 years old which mean I still in growth phase.
If you think Dr. Jason Fung is okay with Ozempic, you missed his words in the end. He said something a long the line "there are other ways that activated the same receptors, GLP1" 😂 He did sneaky way to say "you dont need this drug."
Dr Fung… I have a question that I’m struggling to find the answer to. Is it safe to do IF and prolonged fasts if you have had a partial thyroidectomy (but not currently on any medication)?
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment, if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
Thank you so much Dr Fung for the information. I learned a lot from you however I do have a question. I'm trying 16:8, but I feel a bit shaky and sometimes chillin. I am not diabetic. What do you think I should do or take to avoid these effects? Thank you and more power.
I was on trizepatide and was doing great But I wasn’t eating enough or drinking water, Big Mistake on my part, I was so constipated i thought I was going to die , Now this past week my Dr put me on Semiglutide and all it has done is make me Sleep my days away , I felt drugged, and depressed. I am going to talk to my Dr this week and get back on trizepatide and drink lots of water and eat fiber and protein .
ozempic is a diabetic drug like viagra is a heart medication. after 6 months on oz, strict 1800cal/day recommended healthy lower carb diet it drove me to runaway diabetes, depression, and lethargy. my gi shut down, nausea and dizziness every day and gained fat. the "healthy" carbs prevented ketosis, super fai. so back to metformin, keto-ish, and testing every food to find my fail foods. every treatment has a bunch of *.
Hi Dr.Jason fung. I'm 28 I almost recovered from medulloblastoma.. finished Surgery,chemo and radio Rx. Since it's a malignant tumor and it can recur at anytime and no advanced studies are there for adult medulloblastoma..can I do intermittent fasting? What will be the benefits I gain?
Dear Jason. I have been on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting for three months now. Lost 15kg's. Goal is the cure from type 2 diabetes that was diagnosed five years ago. I was thinking of doing a check up on my levels after 6 months. Would that be enough time pass for this? Also, is one allowed to have any cheat days at all or does it abolish all the work for a long time?
IF, low carb, calorie counting, and working out (weights+cardio) 5 days per week helped me lose about 30 lbs in 2021 and has kept me from gaining anything back. But, I was stuck at 220 lbs and nearly 30% body fat. I was constantly hungry and tired except for my fasting period (8pm - 12 noon the next day, every day). I went on tirzepatide in March 2024 and lost another 20 pounds so far with no changes in behavior. My energy and hunger levels are drastically improved. The fat is being deleted rapidly, it’s almost unbelievable. I’m no longer obese and my body fat percentage is trending down linearly and rapidly. I think you are totally right about what is causing obesity for most people, but I also wonder if some of these new incretin mimicking drugs can really help people like me break thru the metabolic sabotage, and can dovetail nicely with intermittent fasting, eliminating processed foods, increasing exercise, etc.
When you are diabetic or pre diabetic nothing helps with weigh loss. Your hormone insulin has pooped out. Which is one reason someone like me doesn't pay for the drug. Second is my bmi which is 32 because even on keto for a year and eating once a day, I lost less than ten pounds. My insulin HORMONE isn't working. Wouldn't matter what I try. That's science, it's on paper and my blood panels show I'm in amazing health and eating healthy EXCEPT my hormone pooped out. So it's not really fair to blanket what you blanketed. You're very lucky to be able to fast and stay small. Careful because the HORMONE poops out for alot of women in middle age which is why we get fat. Just saying.. Research more you will learn more.
@@usernwn7qe I don't know... Insulin is just a hormone but look at what it can do. You may be right though, I'll research. I've actually read The Obesity Code and I'm all for the advice there and treating diseases with diet.
I have a question regarding blood glucose levels rising during exercising, would that technically break a fast? I recently came across the “Glucose Godess” and I have learned ALOT about Glucose and its effect on the body. I highly recommend everyone to check it out because it will make a huge difference on your overall health and her “hacks” are extremely easy to implement.I have been easily combining them with intermittent fasting. Anyway, apparently the liver releases glucose into the blood stream in order for muscles to get energy when a person is fasting and that had me wondering if that technically breaks a fast.
Thank you very much for all the info on your channel, it is very helpful. Can you please make a video about 'diabetic pregnancy' and how to solve it while pregnant. And what about the hulp of thiamin (B1), zinc and magnesium supplements? Thank you very much.
It worked well for 3 months or so, then I started getting hungry again. Never had any slow down on the pooping. The fullness part still happened at meals, where I would get full fast, but my subconscious quickly figured out that if I ate small snacks, I could do it without feeling full. I gained 7-8 lbs back pretty quickly of the 33 I had lost. But I think I would have gained a lot more without the Ozempic. I think it still is working to produce insulin release. I am still on it and have recommitted to no snacking and no eating until noon 5 days a week, and have gone back to low carb. After a week I am down 3 lbs. My goal is still 22 lbs away
I started mounjaro and lost 50 pounds went from 260 to 210 about 5 months at a point where I think I should stop. I changed my diet more meat and less calories, carbs.

smart choice
I just saw it. Kinda scary and sad to those who passed.
This was the best explanation of the whole phenomenon I have come across. Thank you so much.
I am happy to see you back and active. For a while (years ago) there were some videos that had me thinking you had gotten hacked.
Thank you, Doctor, for the wonderful effort
Thank you Dr Fung for sharing this information. Ozempic may not be for everyone, but it certainly has helped many lose weight and improve their health.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 it'll help them become bankrupt and put them six feet under in a few years. BANK ON IT!
Incredible Doctor! A Real Doctor, Not A Technician With A 'Doctor' Title.
I was on Ozempic for 9 months and it was awful. I had terrible side effects and was in constant pain, although I did lose 35 pounds. It wasn’t worth it at all. Now I fast and eat whole foods and have had much better results, without any pain.
I purchased your book and am half way into it. Total in and get it on the truth of obesity being a hormonal issue. I’m not a “reader” because of the struggle with OCD, but The Obesity Code has my attention and me grasping for the next sentence. Thank you for providing this information to the public. Much love.
Also, I’m fasting about 17 hrs a day, having great results and feeling wonderful. Again, much appreciation.
I was also been following ur advice about low carb keto and I was 82 and 68 it was great my diabetes also without medication thanks
I'm going on 62 years old and diabetic and I've a weight problem.....my doctor prescribed me ,ozempic after 2 months of injection i almost died of a heart attack my doctor unprescribe it ....for the 2 months everything that i ate tasted like rotten eggs...5'3"and weighted 220 lbs since my heart attack i change my eating habits i don't eat meats now i weight 170 lbs still got a little way to go but the weight is staying off ... I'm writing this so for people to be aware and those who is taking this just to lose weight there's is a danger.... hope this help someone....stay safe God bless
6:18 This is what I like about Dr Fung: he gets that hunger is central to weight gain/loss, as in the long run hunger determined how much we eat, and thus drives how many calories we consume. It's all about how hungry we are relative to how many calories we actually need.
That's why telling patients to count their calories, or to control their portion sizes, or anything like that, is always going to fail, because it leads to hunger. People, in the long run, eat until they are satiated, and that depends on all sorts of factors beyond the exact number of calories they have consumed. Two meals with the exact same calories can have vastly different abilities to curb your hunger.
Exactly, it's far more simpler and reliable to just fast for a specific amount of time.
OMAD is a very good strategy as well as going on a water fast for 1-2 days.
too bad the drug actually is riddled with adverse effects that destroy your health once you reach your consumption goals.
About calories.....
ua-cam.com/video/BFLt9RXY0ww/v-deo.htmlsi=8vNlxE7IwwySNJuw
Counting calories does work for me.... until it doesn't. It becomes very overwhelming and adds extra mental stress and ends up causing emotional distress because Counting calories constantly keeps food on my brain. I'm so tired of thinking of food all the time
I lost all my weight using fasting (went from an XL to an XS in 6 months) :) BUT a lot of people don’t count calories correctly. All you’re meant to do is eat an appropriate amount for your underlying body size, but you can do this by eating huge amounts of heathy foods that are low in calories in one or two meals each day. You don’t have to be hungry at all, but can still become slim and healthy.
If you’re only eating one meal a day but overeating (like stuffing your face with chocolates and ice cream etc) you won’t lose weight. You still have to be aware of what you’re eating.
I never counted calories personally, but also entirely changed my diet so I knew I was eating high volume foods lower in calories (like huge salads with steak and many different kinds of plants and vegetables in) :)
Counting calories “doesn’t work” only because so many people do it wrong and eat like a tiny slice of pizza instead of a massive steak salad, both of which have the same amount of calories lol
My experience with ozempic was the complete opposite of this. I had no nausea or illness but real food tasted like dirt and I couldn't stop eating junk food. I hadn't eaten junk food in 5 years prior to starting this drug. I gained 20kg in 6 months on ozempic and finally found the courage to just stop taking it despite being told that I need this medication and to keep increasing my dose. I'm now losing weight and feeling great with a clean keto diet. No junk food cravings anymore.
I had a very similar experience. I lost an appetite so all I would eat is total crap. Lol
I am on Ozempic for diabetes. I lost 60 pounds, my cravings for sugary junk foods disappeared and I craved low carb foods and proteins, and felt great. No nausea, no constipation. I was off of it for about 2 years, for insurance authorization reasons, but now am back on it again and doing great. It’s a good drug for my diabetes.
Wow
@@Eris1701: wow! Yeah - cuz I’m scared now - hearing some horrible stories - and APPARENTLY: especially once a person STOPS taking it > heart attacks and strokes, etc…!! My doctor JUST STARTED me on it last week - first w/ a low dose > 0.25 - It does sound like Ozempic actually works quite well - I have been pre-diabetic for about 2.5 years - highs and lows …and my family genetics don’t help w/ my overweight, and I’m a female - age 51 - & so all the menopause & hormones are NOT helping me TRYING to lose weight either… & I eat slow and all & go hill walking for a good hour & more almost every day & swimming…. Help!
Wow this is so interesting as there are so many different response to our bodies being on ozempic. I was on it for a year for diabetes2 and on keto with v v low carb. I experienced 1 kg weight loss for the entire year which I gained back with a little more. There was absolutely no change with my blood sugar levels of 13+ daily morning fasting ( during the day my levels were between 3.5-6) . I went off it and tried my mom’s diabetic medication for a day, sugar was down to 8 the next morning!!! Now finally after lots of trial n error I am seeing some results on both weight and glucose drops in morning 5-6.5 🙌🏽🌈💜
Thank you for making this video. I’ve seen several videos on this topic, and this one was the most informative!
This is pure solid gold Thanks for sharing Dr Fung
Thank you for the analysis. It is always interesting to learn more about other medical tools to reduce weight.
I was always hungry being on the Keto-diet. Now that I am taking Ozempic it's much better. I can intermittent fast much easier.
Finally! An official video with you about Ozempic. Thanks Dr. Fung. Now do Mounjaro. :) I was in your beta testing fasting groups with Meghan back in the day. I was actually on ozempic for a year and didn't lose anything and actually started to gain weight. My doctor recently switched to Mounjaro and it seems to be working better for me. If you could also do a video about how these drugs affect those that are T2, that would be amazing. You saved my life all those years ago and I value your thoughts. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this!!😀l love Dr.Fung. It is cool that you were part of his first group of test subjects
They put my husband on that fir T2D, and it made him violently sick. We threw it in the garbage! I myself an doing OMAD and ketovore and I'm feeling fantastic and loosing weight. Perfectly satiated.
I love Rr Jason Fungs videos. They give me so much hope!
Best explaination of Ozempic‘s effects 👌
♥️ Dr Jason Fung …. He has changed my life ♥️ Thank you, Dr Fung
How GLP-1 and Ozempic actually works: ua-cam.com/video/BvIMCyHPpDI/v-deo.html
thank you for this. fortunately, i was convinced by you and other youtubers that i should eat only once per day, eat mostly Keto, and fast a couple of days every now and then. i'm never hungry when i do this, and i almost never eat vegetables and try not to eat glutins. so, i'd never take 'ozempic', but the temptation lingered to try something new, just from boredom...
The Fungster strikes again! I love the matter-of-fact Dr. Fung presents data and the easy-to-understand analogies. I lost and have maintained a good weight with IF.
I was on this in Canada over a year and it didn’t do anything for me except keep me sick . I’m not sure if it has to do with me not having a gallbladder? I’m now doing omad and using Berberine. I hope this helps. Thanks for all the information u share with us.
Thanks Dr Jason a lot. I love your detailed informative videos. Please keep the good work coming.
Thanks again Dr. Fung. Your info is clear, direct and humorous. You sure don't want to eat blue cheese if you are tossing your cookies. LOL. You are a national treasure.
A great talk. I would like to see an update on what problems may arise.
Dr. Fung, thank you for speaking out against the conventional grain in the medical community. I’m a nurse practitioner and I was wondering if you could explain the mechanism of muscle loss typically found in long term GLP-1 patients compared to patients who fast tend to have muscle sparing while still achieving lipolysis. Thank you again for all you do!
Can you do another one on Ozempic? Do you like this? Is it replacing insulin for diabetics? And how/when/how often to eat vs intermittent fasting, or not, etc when using Ozempic? Thank you!
I noticed that my toe nails was dark so I went to my doctor's office for some blood work and my A1C was 5.7 that is border line type two diabetes. At the time all I ate was pizza, garlic bread, french fries and burritos. I changed my deit immediately all I aet was chicken, turkey and red snapper fish. I also got some over the counter medicine from Walgreens called doctor Stephanie's (blood suger 24 hours and carb and sugar blocker) weight loss program. I went back to my doctor's office after four months and my blood sugar levels was 91 my A1C was 5.1 I did not have deibetes. My doctor told me I can eat some wild rice and RYE bread if I want so I added those two to my new deit. This is my success story.
Thank you for this Dr. Fung! I really respect and appreciate your work! Can you do more videos about controlling hunger while fasting for those of us not on pharmaceuticals please?
well balancing your blood sugar first is the best way to not every get hungry while fasting
I lost 70lbs in 6 months last year, no loose skin, using fasting and high intensity interval training (following Chloe Tings free UA-cam challenges). I’ve maintained effortlessly for 7 months now, using OMAD and trying to not eat too many processed carbs and refined sugars.
Not sure what Mr Fung is going to say about ozempic as just started the video, but it’s extremely expensive and you have to stay on it forever or else you’ll gain the weight back. People who go on it for weight loss are also reporting a huge range of horrific side effects including their g3nitals peeling and worse 😱
On top of that, many have reported very little weight loss.
It’s NOT WORTH IT when you can do it naturally and experience lasting health and vitality as a result 💚
What fasting method did you use?
@@femme7097one meal a day. OMAD
@@femme7097I mostly used OMAD but did some ADF and 72s depending on how I was feeling ^_^ I always focussed on my health and nutrition so only fasted as long as I was still feeling strong enough for the HIIT and walking :) I built some muscle during this time using mostly only my own body weight and became a lot stronger and more agile over the course of the 6 months which indicates I was eating enough during my eating windows even during longer fasts 🙏🏻 (some people do it incorrectly and just waste away while reporting a lot of weakness etc, but daily HIIT seemed to be like a “magic key” for me) :)
@@femme7097 omad is just one meal a day. And try to make it a healthy one with healthy fats, protein, good carbs and magnesium. I too lost 50 lbs in just a few months and a total of 80 lbs in a years time. Fasting, working out and good rest is the absolute best thing for your body.
Peeling??? 😮
QUESTION : my 80-yr old mom has been diabetic for 25 years or so, she has horrible eating habits and an insulin pump. She sometimes has dangerously low dips in the middle of the night (40 😳😱). Is there any way to EASE her into fasting?
Also, when her sugars start to drop (100-70) then they plummet.
She thought the pump would help normalize the crazy ups and downs (she’s had it five years) it has not.
Thank you for all your information, much appreciated 💜
Thanks Dr Fung! As soon as I heard delayed gastric emptying, vomiting came to mind because I vomiting when I can't adequately digest whatever I've eaten. Intermittent fasting and carnivore = no hunger pangs.😊
Biology is the master of mind and matter. Great video !
Dr Fung, could you please make a video explaining the interaction of natural sweetener (stevia, monk fruit etc.) and our insulin level post ingestion? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Easy, its the same as sugar just worse.
These videos are so informative.
Thanks Dr. Fung for the way you so clearly present important health information.
I am truly greatful.
I would like to add something to the conversation.
It's important to eat nutrient dense foods
and get away from the common nutrient depleted foods in the (SAD) Standard American Diet. Fake foods that are high in calories, low quality and have little to no nutritive value. (It's mostly grains, seedoils, sugar, sodium and chemicals)
Our bodies need and crave vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids, flavinoids, phyto chemicals and other compounds easily assimilated by our bodies, only found in Nature not a Labratory.
These vital nutrients are not in, but taken out of processed foods for shelf life and profits. Not to mention all the toxic chemicals and additives in coporate mass produced "food products... they call it "food product" because legally and technically it's not food.
We are all sick, fat and hungry because we aren't getting what the body is craving for and that's Critcal Nutrients in their proper un- molested form.
Grow as much of your own food as possible in living soil and buy locally from farmers using regenerative farming practices.
Avoid eating Corporate frankenfoods.
Good health To all on this Earthly Journey.
😇✌️
(edit)
Had to laugh at the ad that ran during this video for a 1 month supply of Ozempic for $225.00...
Thats insane.
Don't be fooled,
Fasting is better for you and dosent have the side effects 89% of people are experiencing.
Please spend your hard earned money on nutrient dense food instead.
So glad I discovered Dr Fung! I have lost 30kg through fasting and earing whole foods, no drugs, no surgery, no expensive programs or ineffective supplements! I've kept the weight off now for over a year. I wish everyone thinking of trying Ozempic would just try fasting first!
Good to hear! The whole foods is important and often overlooked when people "go keto" or start to fast.
Great insights. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting topic cant wait for the next video.
I really like how you compare the 2 with Alcoholism! Very good point.
Tks .
And here comes my story: this is my fifth week on ozempic..the first four i had some nausea and rush on skin like big mosquitoes had bitten me. Fifth week and this all has vanished. My cravings for chocolate have vanished i eat a lot more healthily and i have no cravings for junk food at all. Also i took up exercising. I have lost already five kilos. I am diabetic type 2 and i also have hasimoto which is a metabolic syndrome and means my body takes longer to metabolise food and sugar. My doctor is very careful and i trust her so with caution and regular check ups i am on the ozempic journey. Let's see how it goes so far all good
Thank you for this! Can’t wait for the next video 🙂
Could you please do one on monjaro please.😊
Thank you Dr. Fung.
Thanks as always Jason ! Love your content !
Please release the separate video ASAP, please and thanks 😅
Not just North America Jason... its the whole first world!
I am on Ozempic here in Australia. It is very hard to fill a prescription sometimes, but most of the time I can buy it.
I have found that I get the satiety but not the other two side-effects. I have never had nausea on it.
Over my intermittent fasting, strict carb intake and Ozempic use, I have lost (and am still losing slowly) more than 30kg.... it feels so good to know that I am able to keep the weight off ... I have been on this way of life/eating for 2 years now.
Thank you Jason, you have been a major part of my journey!

Also you didn't lose weight because of Dr Fung but because of Ozempic
As soon as you stop taking it all the weight comes back.
@@rachkate76you don’t know that! Maybe for some people it has but it might not for this person. No one can say for certain how an individual will respond on or off a medication. There’s no need to be so negative towards someone. There was absolutely no reason to make that comment.
@@trixie9777 are you off your meds?
Grow up and go educate yourself on it.
Don’t gaslight people due to your own ignorance!
I have always deal with binge eating currently taking Mounjaro and let me tell you this is no hunger suppression for me I need to add low carb intermittent fasting and some extended fast. My weight loss has been so slow because of PCOS and insulin resistance.
Resourceful insights. Thanks for sharing
I have no problem with intermittent fasting (18-6) and a low carb diet. My problem is late night snacking because I have a bad habit of going to bed very late. Around 12 midnight, I get the munchies or cravings and I end up snacking. The bad thing is that I’m not even hungry and just do it out of boredom and/or habit.
On my last Dr’s visit, he suggested I take Ozempic to lose weight but I declined it. I don’t need meds to help me feel full. I do get full with my normal portions of food. It’s just the bad habit of late night snacking that ruins any effort I make to do my intermittent fasting effectively. I also need to be more active. As a borderline diabetic I need to get a grip and make some lifestyle changes soon. ☹️
Snacking at night is a hard habit to break but it can be done. I trained my body a little at a time beginning with no eating past 9pm and before sunrise. Years later I have no desire to eat at night. Absolutely none. Ghrelin waves are intense around 4-5 pm. But even fasted, by 6 pm ghrelin calms down and I'm good for the night.
I also have the same issue of munching at night because it foxnuts, almonds or now chocolates. And weight isn’t reducing at all
I used to have the same eating at night problem. I never got ahead of it until we moved our large meal to 3 to 4 hours earlier in the day. This was not possible until I retired (my husband had already retired). I was willing to try this, but doubted it would work. I’m not that hungry at 2pm, but we eat the main meal of the day by 2pm on most days. The first few days I was still hungry late evening, but then 3 to 4 days in, the evening hunger DISAPPEARED. I was shocked. I seldom experience hunger or “munchies” now, and it’s great. I hated that feeling. I still mentally know what’s in the fridge or the pantry, but I have no desire to get up and eat. If your lifestyle permits eating your main meal much earlier, give it a try.
Thanks for sharing. You make a good point about that mental power. Most of us, especially those of us who follow Dr Fung and Meghan Ramos, know what to do and just a bit of honesty gets to the root of our problems. We all need to get a grip and be honest with the type of food, how much we eat and when we eat. Once we do this, then is about respecting ourselves and our decision to get healthy and stay healthy. I am saying this to myself😅 our minds are incredible, I am trying to make that mental switch myself.
I have this very problem, it's sooooo annoying. I eat very healthily and have zero cravings all day then night comes and I find myself marching in and out of the kitchen. It's totally due to a bad habit, I have zero hunger.
I will train my brain to get used to the new " no food after 9 pm routine" . It will be an herbal tea or NOTHING.
Very good explanation of hunger thanks

Happy Valentine's Day Dr Jason fung
Next question .. can a person be on extended fast on Ozempic or will it concentrate and kill the liver?
When has a pricey pharma product NOT had serious side effects??
It’s a peptide, not a drug. It’s not metabolized in the liver or kidneys. So you should be okay.
Dr Fung, may i ask a question related to ozempic with fasting? I do water fast for 48-hours weekly for weightloss, I noticed that the benefits of fasting lies in lowering insulin, but ozempic produce insulin? how does that work? should i do my fast together with Ozempic? thank you.
Hey Dr Jason is there anyway you could do a UA-cam video on being “insulin deficient”? My father has lost a lot of weight and is very malnourished. I would like to know a healthy way for him gain weight while being a diabetic
Can you please suggest things that don’t involve ozempic and other artificial weight loss methods?
Dr Fung has many videos on intermittent fasting. Was very helpful. Check them out
Does Semaglutide raise Insulin or cause the release of Insulin, and thereby increase or sustain Insulin resistance? Thank you!!
That’s a good question.
I have this same question too!
He’s not endorsing it. He’s saying it controls hunger. You can also control hunger by doing intermittent fasting. Which by the way is FREE.
Now I am doing intermittent fasting on daily basis and not fasting on certain special day, and only eat when hungry and stop before feeling full. Feel better in live and has more energy. I don't want to do extended fasting yet because I still 18 years old which mean I still in growth phase.
If you think Dr. Jason Fung is okay with Ozempic, you missed his words in the end. He said something a long the line "there are other ways that activated the same receptors, GLP1" 😂
He did sneaky way to say "you dont need this drug."
On another video he said he was fine with Ozempic I have to say I was very disappointed
Your first 5mins was the best explanation I've gotten about ozempic. I learned people have no self-control
Can't wait for the next video!!!
Dr Fung… I have a question that I’m struggling to find the answer to. Is it safe to do IF and prolonged fasts if you have had a partial thyroidectomy (but not currently on any medication)?
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment, if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
es ua-cam.com/video/faUrjc3PZ3Q/v-deo.html
Nice video.Thanks.
Thank you so much Dr Fung for the information. I learned a lot from you however I do have a question. I'm trying 16:8, but I feel a bit shaky and sometimes chillin. I am not diabetic. What do you think I should do or take to avoid these effects? Thank you and more power.
I was on trizepatide and was doing great But I wasn’t eating enough or drinking water, Big Mistake on my part, I was so constipated i thought I was going to die ,
Now this past week my Dr put me on Semiglutide and all it has done is make me Sleep my days away , I felt drugged, and depressed.
I am going to talk to my Dr this week and get back on trizepatide and drink lots of water and eat fiber and protein .
ozempic is a diabetic drug like viagra is a heart medication. after 6 months on oz, strict 1800cal/day recommended healthy lower carb diet it drove me to runaway diabetes, depression, and lethargy. my gi shut down, nausea and dizziness every day and gained fat. the "healthy" carbs prevented ketosis, super fai. so back to metformin, keto-ish, and testing every food to find my fail foods. every treatment has a bunch of *.
Thank you Dr Fung, as always, a great explanation 👍 (Btw, I caught that on screen burp - lol!)
Hi Dr.Jason fung.
I'm 28
I almost recovered from medulloblastoma.. finished Surgery,chemo and radio Rx.
Since it's a malignant tumor and it can recur at anytime and no advanced studies are there for adult medulloblastoma..can I do intermittent fasting?
What will be the benefits I gain?
What are your opinions on Tirzepatide in conjunction with fasting?
Dear Jason. I have been on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting for three months now. Lost 15kg's. Goal is the cure from type 2 diabetes that was diagnosed five years ago. I was thinking of doing a check up on my levels after 6 months. Would that be enough time pass for this? Also, is one allowed to have any cheat days at all or does it abolish all the work for a long time?
Dr Fung: can we reverse diabetic condition (HBA1C: 10.3%, Creatine: 2.73, Age 67 yrs) thru fasting. Kindly suggest
IF, low carb, calorie counting, and working out (weights+cardio) 5 days per week helped me lose about 30 lbs in 2021 and has kept me from gaining anything back. But, I was stuck at 220 lbs and nearly 30% body fat. I was constantly hungry and tired except for my fasting period (8pm - 12 noon the next day, every day).
I went on tirzepatide in March 2024 and lost another 20 pounds so far with no changes in behavior. My energy and hunger levels are drastically improved. The fat is being deleted rapidly, it’s almost unbelievable. I’m no longer obese and my body fat percentage is trending down linearly and rapidly.
I think you are totally right about what is causing obesity for most people, but I also wonder if some of these new incretin mimicking drugs can really help people like me break thru the metabolic sabotage, and can dovetail nicely with intermittent fasting, eliminating processed foods, increasing exercise, etc.
I’ll save my money and not risk any side affects. Fasting is the only way that has worked for me.
Thank you for posting this. Fasting is really the only real solution
When you are diabetic or pre diabetic nothing helps with weigh loss. Your hormone insulin has pooped out. Which is one reason someone like me doesn't pay for the drug. Second is my bmi which is 32 because even on keto for a year and eating once a day, I lost less than ten pounds. My insulin HORMONE isn't working.
Wouldn't matter what I try. That's science, it's on paper and my blood panels show I'm in amazing health and eating healthy EXCEPT my hormone pooped out. So it's not really fair to blanket what you blanketed.
You're very lucky to be able to fast and stay small. Careful because the HORMONE poops out for alot of women in middle age which is why we get fat.
Just saying.. Research more you will learn more.
This sounds like a tool to help you fast - if it makes you not feel hungry.
Eating lots of fat helps you fast.
@@emh8861that makes no sense. Your body is already eating fat when you’re fasting. If you don’t have fat in your body it’s not safe for you to fast.
Are there issues when food sticks in your stomach? Seems like that is unhealthy?
I think Prof. Robert Lustig was warning about Ozempic that it could cause permanent gastroparesis.
That's great! More doctor visits and life time support that would bring thousands of dollars from each patient.
Yeah for a tiny tiny minority it may but since it is a hormone it´s most likely extremely safe.
Yes. I am not sure why this channel (being paid?????) is discussing (promoting) a super profitable bad drug as a solution? I will unsubscribe 😮
@@usernwn7qe I don't know... Insulin is just a hormone but look at what it can do. You may be right though, I'll research. I've actually read The Obesity Code and I'm all for the advice there and treating diseases with diet.
I heard news the death of one lady due to taking this drug
Dr Fung can you explain how epic affects metabolism
Dr Fung, you are the best. This was such a clear, concise explanation. Thank you
Doesn’t this drug increase insulin secretion? Could this have a detrimental effect to a diabetic?
I have a question regarding blood glucose levels rising during exercising, would that technically break a fast?
I recently came across the “Glucose Godess” and I have learned ALOT about Glucose and its effect on the body. I highly recommend everyone to check it out because it will make a huge difference on your overall health and her “hacks” are extremely easy to implement.I have been easily combining them with intermittent fasting.
Anyway, apparently the liver releases glucose into the blood stream in order for muscles to get energy when a person is fasting and that had me wondering if that technically breaks a fast.
Thank you
Great! And no side effects 😃😃😃
Thank you very much for all the info on your channel, it is very helpful. Can you please make a video about 'diabetic pregnancy' and how to solve it while pregnant. And what about the hulp of thiamin (B1), zinc and magnesium supplements? Thank you very much.
I thought it worked by also lowering insulin resistance?.?.?
It worked well for 3 months or so, then I started getting hungry again. Never had any slow down on the pooping. The fullness part still happened at meals, where I would get full fast, but my subconscious quickly figured out that if I ate small snacks, I could do it without feeling full. I gained 7-8 lbs back pretty quickly of the 33 I had lost. But I think I would have gained a lot more without the Ozempic. I think it still is working to produce insulin release. I am still on it and have recommitted to no snacking and no eating until noon 5 days a week, and have gone back to low carb. After a week I am down 3 lbs. My goal is still 22 lbs away
What about side effects? İs it a safe drug ?
I started mounjaro and lost 50 pounds went from 260 to 210 about 5 months at a point where I think I should stop. I changed my diet more meat and less calories, carbs.
So have you stopped taking it? If so, how is it going? If not, what is your plan?
