I can't be the only one who comes to these vids to read the comments and get inspired. Love the videos too of course but honestly everyone's weight loss journeys are even more inspiring.
Dr Fung..... I was diagnosed diabetic in Dec of 2019 when my A1C reached 6.5 and prescribed Metformin. I was 293 lbs at 5'8" and 56 years old. I saw some of your videos and decided that if I can reverse diabetes with diet, I had to at least try. Well, I took Metformin for 2 days and then stopped taking pills and started IF and Keto. Holy smoke am I glad I found your videos. You and a few other docs on UA-cam have changed my world. I got on the scale this morning at 179lbs, my recent blood work was fantastic and my A1C is now 5.0. Looking and feeling great. My Dr is amazed. She was very open minded to IF and Keto, and told me to keep doing what I'm doing because it is absolutely working. Stay away from carbs. They are poison. Eat only once or twice a day within a limited time window. Your body will thank you in more ways than you can imagine.
I spent too much time knowing I wasn’t over eating, yet having my body stick to a “set weight” no matter what. If I had been more concerning about weight, I probably would’ve been a frustrated yo-yo dieter. However, I was more concerned about maintaining my hour glass figure. I managed to stay around the same weight no matter what I ate. It wasn’t until I ran into your videos, moved to Keto & IF. The weight just fell off. 47 lbs pretty quickly & the last time I saw my endocrinologist, I was down another 18 lbs. He actually asked me why.?. I told him I was continuing IF. He asked me if I could hungry all the time. I told him “no.” If was a very simple to do. I lost my carb/sugar cravings without attempting to. They just disappeared. My only regret is that I can’t afford as much meat as I would like to have because prices have gone sky high since “Covid”. I make too much to receive food stamps, but not enough so that I can afford all the protein I want. Please keep on inspiring people! I appreciate you so much. I know I’m not alone in this…🤗🤦🏻♀️🙄
"The Aetiology Of Obesity," videos of Dr. Jason Fung is a six-part series. Each video is about 1 hr long and in one of those videos, Dr. Fung mentioned how metformin made people gained weight. Since metformin is prescribed to T2DM patients, it's not surprising that they are mostly fat/obese.
I weighed 270, was pre diabetic and my joints were stiff and I was so lethargic. I read Dr. Fung's book The Obesity code and it changed my life. My A1C is normal and I have more energy. Since I have more energy I have been exercising more. I lost 70 pounds so far and feel great. The low carb lifestyle is definitely the way to go.
I'm glad you are feeling better and are getting healthier. Low carb high fat is important to me.. but moreso is fasting. Fasting keeps me in check (food wise), keeps me in a good mood, makes me WANT to exercise, and reduces chronic pain without harmful medications. Important for me daily: fasting, low carb high fat diet, exercise, mental exercise, sleep/ relaxation
Thank you for sharing this! I wasted 20+ years on a low-fat diet, but onwards and upwards. Low carb is a life changer for me and so is The Obesity Code!
Guru Purnima is celebrated every year in India. On this day, people give respect to the teacher who changed their lives . I pay my respect to u Dr Fung. I have seen your videos and started IF 2 years ago. I have lost 25 kgs of weight,my BP medicines gone, Fatty liver also gone. I am 56 years healthy young now. Thanks Dr Jason Fung

I watch Dr. Jason Fung's type two diabetes video it changed my life. I lost over 100 pounds following his advice and common sense. I remember saying to myself this makes sense this fits together like a good puzzle. My type two diabetes is now down to 4.3 started out with keto went to one meal a day now I'm eating clean keto organic it's just a way of life I'm not hungry I can't even stand the smell of fast food anymore
Low carb was the beginning of my journey to health, then IF, adding in some protein in which I was extremely deficient, my blood (glucose levels) sugars are normal, and A1c dropped from 10.4 to 5.3. Doctors like you are 💎! Thank you
It really works! Going keto led me to IF - Two meals a day work days, and OMAD on weekends...No effort required, it happens naturally. I wish this for everyone!
I was an 80s kid and it was drilled in our heads to eat less calories,fat and exercise more and eat all these carbs. I would loose weight but it would eventually come back. It somehow was always my fault cause I just didn’t try hard enough! Now I’m 50 do IF,low carbs and have lost weight and kept it off no problem! You sir are amazing!
If most people just cut back their carbohydrates. And they ate more fish, nuts, eggs and lots of green veg they would get most of the benefits of low carbohydrate without actually cutting out carbohydrates. They could eat the odd bit of fruit, occasional bit of bread and potatoes and they would all get great health responses. Most people are eating starchy and processed carbohydrates every meal.
I found Dr. Fung and Dr Pradip Jamnadas on UA-cam about a month ago. Using Keto and Intermittent Fasting, my hunger is completely under control. I'm losing weight quicker than I ever did before. I don't even miss bread. I never though that would happen.
Dr. Fung - I’d LOVE for you to have mini segments of ppl who have followed your guidance and how they were successful. Not just their pics but their anecdotes and experience.
Im a FNP. I've reversed 4 men so far. A1Cs to 5s from 9, off all meds. I include your teachings to EVERY patient with insulin resistance...which is a majority of them...it's the way we should eat.
Dr Fung, you’re my go to for educated results and knowledge. You speak clearly and directly. You simply are saving my life! I was a baby of a financially challenged mother whose dr told her to feed me Karo syrup and evaporated milk as a substitute for formula! It unknowingly set me up for disaster and craved sweet from the cradle. Well, guess what? I’m now a insulin resistant diabetic. Your research has changed my life. Keep up the good work!,
How I wish a majority of doctors were similar in preforming their work as you. I also wish our food and drug administration focused more on what’s best for the individual instead of the corporations
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. Thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
I really appreciate your down to earth style and honesty. You are always so easy to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.
The only channel where I like the video even before beginning listening to it, coz I'm quite sure that the content will be superb! Thanks Doctor Fung ❤️
Excellent advice right here. Keto/IF for 3 years, never felt better. Thank you muchly for sharing this important information with us all. Take care & Happy Sunday everybody. ❤️🙂🐶
Thank you for the knowledge you posted in all your videos. After 10 years of struggling with the diabetes now I managed to drop my A1C below the normal range in 3 months. Yipeee...
i noticed that i’m never hungry or craving if i don’t eat carbs. the most carbs i’ll have is maybe 1/4 cup of rice. it’s my fifth day since discovering fasting and i just finished my first 36 hour fast because of low carbs too! 🤗
Watching this on the 3rd day of my current fast! Thanks Jason, for your great work that is helping people all across the world. Props to old Doc Banting too! 😃
Dr Fung, thank you for putting these videos out in the ether. Not only are they massively helpful, you are easy to listen to…. Your delivery keeps it interesting and engaging. Thanks man!
It took me 50 years to become 50 pounds overweight and that began when I graduated high school in 1970 and the low fat/high carb philosophy of eating for good health began along with the obesity epidemic. A glaring cause of this is how little training our doctors receive about nutrition and the history of diet relating to obesity.
Exactly right, and that seems like a crime, to me. I haven't really trusted doctors too much because of it, and when I think of that danged carb-ridden food pyramid put out by the government I could just scream.
Yeah, docs turn over diet stuff to registered dietitians. But it's "fats are bad, salt is bad" and follow the mediterranean diet and eat mostly carbohydrates with low fats, and low protein, and lean meat one or twice a week. And doctors pretty much follow this paradigm too.
Really angers me that I wasted 50 years trying to stay slim and healthy on a low fat diet (and mostly failing dismally - I lost over 50 lbs. many times but always gained it back, plus more. Hopefully this time the weight will stay gone and I will have better health as well).
I stopped eating processed carbs, natural carbs, and all sugar. I've lost 35lbs without really trying. I eat most meats and lots of salads. I'll never go back to junk carbs. The KETO diet worked for me!
Low carb and intermitted fasting saved my life. Your knowledge and videos are spot on. Thank you thank you for making them. More people need to hear the truth.
Thanks for his, Dr Fung. At a recent family gathering some people (you know who they are!) voiced concerns about all the weight I’ve lost and the “wisdom” of cutting out carbs. I will be prepared with this historical perspective on carb consumption next time. 😁
i love your channel. Thank you for giving us an understanding of the history. Please do keep posting this very educational and helpful health related videos.
Dr Fung You are my incentive..thanks to you and all your videos im actually losing weight. I'm up to 18 hours now I watch all you videos learned so much from them . .I feel great , strong going to the gym to do my zumba and strength training twice a week ..my sister offered me apple 🍎 pie with whipped cream on top junky stuff tasted disgusting !! I threw it OUT !! Thank you so much for pulling me thrue this intermittent program ...will stay on this until I lose the weight I want to lose 20 to 25 lbs . Thank you
Much respect @Dr. Fung, you bring so much science and evidence to the table. I watch every video of yours and try to incorporate your advice and wisdom to my daily life.
Thanks, Dr. Fung. Last year, I was 220 pounds at 5 ft 6 inches. I am male, early 50s. Thanks to IF and your videos, I a m now 165 pounds. My doctor was so impressed that he is now asking me for tips. On my way to eliminating my BP meds and may even my dependence on CPAP. I was able to do this without even exercising (ie weight training, HIIT). Just my regular walks with the dog. Living day to day with a vision to be my high school weight of 140 pounds. Thanks again Dr. Fung. Proud to be a fellow Canadian.
Back before obesity became a widespread problem, and before the anti-fat craze (and I'm old enough to remember) -- we still ate carbs, but those carbs were unfailingly smothered in fat, either butter or lard (or sometimes egg yolks), with at least 80% of the calories coming from fat. Perhaps equally important, the sources were entirely animal fats. What we now call the Atkins diet was described in my college biochemistry textbook, which was published before 1972. Everything old is new again, often for good reason.
@@Reziac So, are you saying adding a bunch of extra calories on top of the calories already there in terms of fat will somehow through some magic will make you lose weight?
@@Ryan_DeWitt That's not what I said either. What's important is the ratio of carbs to fat. The more carbs, the more insulin, and the more calories get converted to stored fat in your body; the same calories as fat do not have this effect. When carbs predominate, you tend to eat more trying to make up for the energy that was stored rather than used, rinse and repeat until 400 pounds. You can also graph a tidy parallel between phytoestrogen intake (mostly from soy), thyroid decline (which mediates the carb cycle; low thyroid means poor utilization and makes you crave sugar), and increasing obesity. [Yes, my background is biochemistry. This is all first year stuff.]
I have been steadily loosing weight since going low to no carbs in 2016. Sometimes a cheat meal will turn in to a cheat week (or month), and I'll gain back some weight. You can always start back to eating properly. Fasting is also very important. I find that keto and carnivore make fasting very easy.
I used to find it nearly impossible to go most of a day without food, e.g. for Ash Wednesday or Good Friday. Since going low-carbohydrate it’s been easy, though I haven’t yet tried going a whole day without even a single meal, except once before a colonoscopy (fairly easy).
We are not built to live on meat & broccoli! We are starchivores, man is a sugar & salt seeker! U will get all the sugar u need eating vegetables. Fruits, potatoes, whole grains & beans! U can salt the surface of the food & use 1-2 tsp sugar in your oatmeal or coffee. As per Dr. John McDougall.
@@jgrysiak6566 You don’t need any starches or sugars in your diet. Your body can produce every bit of glucose it needs itself from fats and proteins. It doesn’t have to come from your diet. Sugar is addictive and acts like a drug. That’s why “we” crave it. It is literally in every processed food. We are used to it! Salt on the other hand is very important. I never got keto-flu by eating a pinch of salt every time I felt a headache arise. It always went away very quickly.
@@jgrysiak6566 you absolutely don’t need glucose as dietary requirements. Unless you damage your metabolic system then you must have some kind of carbohydrates every 4 hours just to feel normal. Take a note!! , your body able to make just enough glucose 24 hours from fat, protein, ketone,, etc.
@@karasilver5572 , Who told u this? Your muscles & brain require it to function! Keep talking yourself into a meat diet! U will convince yourself of your bad habits! Lol
One naturopathy doctor's book told leave one time meal...dinner or breakfast will help body to repair...also avoid sugars and some bad foods....i followed it..and benefitted in weight control Years later i heard about intermittent fasting and scince...i felt surprised that i was following intermittent fasting unknowingly😮
I am diabetic that was put on a steroid to treat a autoimmune diesease in June. My A1C was already over 7 I saw the impact of steroid on my blood sugar and decided it was time to do something. Dr. Fung is right on the mark. I have lost 40 pounds since middle June and find 24 to 36 hour fasts are easy to do. Benefits are huge besides weight loss. More energy than ever mind more focused. If fhey could put fasting in a box we would see ads all over UA-cam selling it.
Have actually followed advisory from govt, chucked out butter and switched to margarine, coconutvoil with sunflower oil, stopped ghee altogether. Weight just ballooned. Sure recipe for self destruction as bad as substance abuse.
I was 139 woman 5’1 and I went down to 97 pounds on Keto and fasting but, now I am eating heathy carbs. Like sweet potatoes and natural foods to gain weight cause I was getting too skinny. Now I am 114 pounds and look better! This is a learning process journey too! Please everyone don’t give up! Be kind to your body, thanks 🙏 Dr. Fung
I cut out carbs, direct carbs dish as bread and other processed foods and it's great.. I only get carbs now if there are small amounts in cream or some vegetables.. Although, a few years ago I did a lot of weight training and sort of intermittent fasting but I ate a lot of oats. Everyday and protein powders.. it took me nearly 2 years to lose weight and get ripped.. Now it too me under 2 months to lose weight just by cutting out carbs.. zero right training, because I hurt my shoulder. I just walk now, everyday for over an hour 👍👍
I was on a plataue for a year and half. Since I cut out all sugar except fruits, the occasional dark chocolate chips along with processed foods such as chips, crackers, and bread. My weight has started to drop again. It's been slow but steady.
Love your work and information that you provide!!! I have been Intermittent Fasting and low carb dieting for a month and am down 24 pounds. Thank you so much!!! I had no idea about IF a month ago and would have not given it a try if I had not seen your videos on it and learned that it is a safe way to lose weight.
EXCELLENT HISTORY. THANK YOU. On KETO I have lost 40 kgs and kept it ALL off 3 years now. Transitioning now to carnivore to lose the last 15 kgs to reach my target weight. Thank you Dr. Fung.
I hope your target weight (body composition) is healthy in the long term. Great result with maintaining the fat loss. I can't recommend long term ketogenic diets or "carnivore" due their lower life span effects. However, if it is only to reduce insulin resistance and is short term go for it and all the best.
rereading your book.. its so interesting to me. high fat and moderate protein has been a game changer for me. I am more toned, and leaner due to your protocol. I will never count cals again! God bless you 🙏❤
Dr Jason: you had motivated to loose 12 pounds in only 5 weeks . I was 178.4 and today i was 166 : Fasting ! Wow ! This is simple and spiritual enrichment too
I've been counting calories and trying low carb the last few days. I have PCOS and all of its lovely side effects. I'm trying to improve my fatty liver and lose weight. I've lost 5lbs in 4 days just calorie counting/restricting. Hoping losing 60lbs will help with my PCOS.
@@Calejandre138 i used a TDEE calculator online to figure my calories. I’m short and sedentary so I’m eating 1350 a day. I’ve had cheesecake and Reese’s lol but portion control. So I use a food scale and weigh and track calories on MyFitnessPal. Everything I eat and drink I count. Im trying to start low carb/keto but I’m going slow since I’m a binge eater. Lots of water. And lots of protein.
Thank you so much for all of these knowledge that you are sharing to us im on 20 to 24hrs low carb diet no process food for me and just eat cassava for my carbs and more vegetables and fish for me and im so happy that i actually dont feel hungry at all when i only eat one meal
Alpino's chocolate oats and peanut butter are the best. The fiber keeps my digestion happy, and they keep me full with good protein intake. Plus, they're ridiculously delicious without added sugar. Perfect for anyone craving tasty weight loss!
Thank you, Dr. FUNG! I am in very healthy weight and i learnt about IF and low carb from you about 2 years ago. There r times i drink and let go of myself. But i always know how to come back. I will rewatch your videos when i need help. And now it is a lifestyle. Thank you.. thank you. Do you have a chinese channel so i can share with some asian friends?
Wow...just wow. I am from the UK and have been on a diet since I was 16 years and each year my weight has gone up and up over the years. I have tried so many diets included weightloss surgery which..hey you guessed it..it didn't work! Although I have lost a total of 10 stone...it's not been healthy! I have found your videos and am I am hooked...you make sense! I have started Fasting and plan to cut out refined foods/carbs and eat close to natural foods as possible. I have already cut out Obvious sugar and want to go further...slowly does it.. thank you so much for making these videos..so good to see you are still active. I make UA-cam videos myself under Fat2Health. I shall be sharing my find of your videos to my subscribers. Yesterday I was counting calories..today I am NOT! I would like to stay in touch. 👌🙏🌟👍🦋🦋🦋
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since 1970. Every endocrinologist I’ve had has worshipped carbohydrates and one insisted that if I had under 100 grams of carbohydrates a day I was risking premature death (board-certified endocrinologist). I kept gaining weight and only a nearly carnivore diet has let me lose weight and dropped hemoglobin A1C to around 5 from 6.2 or more.
Would you mind telling me if you're still using insulin? I'm a research chemist and have studied T1D extensively. I know that before the availability of exogenous insulin a very low carb and higher fat diet was the best approach for T1D-along with fasting protocols. But the reason I ask is there are a number os fairly recent research papers that suggest that most type 1 diabetics produce a small quantity of insulin endogenously. But this is suppressed when eating carbs. there is not a lot of support for this science because insulin is big business. So if you're willing, can you tell me. Thanks so much.
Congratulations! I trust you will gain a long health span. I hope you transition to a whole food plant based diet. A strict "carnivore" diet is not conducive to preventing cancer or cardiovascular diseases.
Dr. Fung, I am so happy to have found your videos. Very informative and broken down in simple terms. Thank you. I have only been working on this for 10 days and am currently on a 18/6 IF schedule. I have also removed all "carbs" (rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.) with the exception to those that are in vegetables. Unfortunately, I do not think that I have reduced my calorie intake. My glucose testing is dropping gradually on a daily basis. I suspect that the carbs in my salads are slowing that progress. I only use EVOO and ACV, but the salads themselves are fairly large. I suspect they are about 3 - 4 side salads. What can I say, it is hard to make a small side salad.
I can't be the only one who comes to these vids to read the comments and get inspired. Love the videos too of course but honestly everyone's weight loss journeys are even more inspiring.

You changed my life Dr. Fung. I lost 130 lbs and have kept it off folliwing your guidelines
How I wish a majority of doctors were similar in preforming their work as you. I also wish our food and drug administration focused more on what’s best for the individual instead of the corporations
The knowledge you share with us is some of the most useful i have ever learned in my life. Thank you!
Yessss
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. Thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
Dr. Fung, I have the utmost respect for you. I’m so grateful for all you have taught me.
I really appreciate your down to earth style and honesty. You are always so easy to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.
The only channel where I like the video even before beginning listening to it, coz I'm quite sure that the content will be superb!
Thanks Doctor Fung ❤️
Excellent advice right here.
Keto/IF for 3 years, never felt better.
Thank you muchly for sharing this important information with us all.
Take care & Happy Sunday everybody. ❤️🙂🐶
Thank you for the knowledge you posted in all your videos. After 10 years of struggling with the diabetes now I managed to drop my A1C below the normal range in 3 months. Yipeee...
i noticed that i’m never hungry or craving if i don’t eat carbs. the most carbs i’ll have is maybe 1/4 cup of rice. it’s my fifth day since discovering fasting and i just finished my first 36 hour fast because of low carbs too! 🤗
Make sure your electrolyte are in balance as they can go out of wack pretty easily after prolonged fast
Chinese people have eaten rice for thousands of years & they are slim & trim.. Eat lotsa rice with no butter or oil!
@@mutarrsrtrawally6753 , yes, put some pink salt on tongue for electrolytes!
@@jgrysiak6566 …The Himalayan pink salt ?
@@jgrysiak6566 - Real butter is OK but canola oil is not good.
Watching this on the 3rd day of my current fast! Thanks Jason, for your great work that is helping people all across the world. Props to old Doc Banting too! 😃
Thanks for continuing to do these for us, Dr. Fung. Love ya, man! 😃
I'm so glad you're still making videos I've learned so much from you
Dr Fung, thank you for putting these videos out in the ether. Not only are they massively helpful, you are easy to listen to…. Your delivery keeps it interesting and engaging. Thanks man!
I love Dr. Fung's approach, information, and style. I have been doing it for about a year. Thank you, Jay
It took me 50 years to become 50 pounds overweight and that began when I graduated high school in 1970 and the low fat/high carb philosophy of eating for good health began along with the obesity epidemic. A glaring cause of this is how little training our doctors receive about nutrition and the history of diet relating to obesity.
Because u are overeating & eating lotsa rich food!
Exactly right, and that seems like a crime, to me. I haven't really trusted doctors too much because of it, and when I think of that danged carb-ridden food pyramid put out by the government I could just scream.
Yeah, docs turn over diet stuff to registered dietitians. But it's "fats are bad, salt is bad" and follow the mediterranean diet and eat mostly carbohydrates with low fats, and low protein, and lean meat one or twice a week. And doctors pretty much follow this paradigm too.
@@James-dt7ky That "recommendation" alone should be criminal
love the lighting makes the video quality immaculate. The blue shirt is on point. Thank you for the usual information.
Really angers me that I wasted 50 years trying to stay slim and healthy on a low fat diet (and mostly failing dismally - I lost over 50 lbs. many times but always gained it back, plus more. Hopefully this time the weight will stay gone and I will have better health as well).
Because u are eating lotsa refined carbs & sugars. Eat whole food, nothing processed. WFPB diet
Same here! I'm thankful I finally 'discovered' low carb, but I do wish I'd discovered it sooner :)
I wish you all the best and hope you'll get there
We all did. Just learned of keto, low-carb and fasting last year.
Good luck
God, thank you to bring this amazing doctor to the world ❤️
Can’t agree more ….
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amen!
I stopped eating processed carbs, natural carbs, and all sugar. I've lost 35lbs without really trying. I eat most meats and lots of salads. I'll never go back to junk carbs. The KETO diet worked for me!
The Obesity Code was life changing, thank you for putting all I needed to know in that book Dr. Fung.
Low carb and intermitted fasting saved my life. Your knowledge and videos are spot on. Thank you thank you for making them. More people need to hear the truth.
Thank you for sharing such positive Info.
Thanks for his, Dr Fung. At a recent family gathering some people (you know who they are!) voiced concerns about all the weight I’ve lost and the “wisdom” of cutting out carbs. I will be prepared with this historical perspective on carb consumption next time. 😁
i love your channel. Thank you for giving us an understanding of the history. Please do keep posting this very educational and helpful health related videos.
Thank you Dr Fung. Your videos are informative and encourage me to eat healthy. I enjoy listening to you. You are adorable! 😀
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you Dr Fung.
Im so always looking forward to your videos , doctor ! Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Fung , we love you! ❤️
I love you Dr Fung. Love your knowledge and how you’ve shared it with us all. Been fasting for about a year and a half.
I just stay away from flour, sugar and things in boxes. Imo nothing will change until the cholesterol theory of heart disease goes away.
🎁 even presents😀
@@debann2864 oh I guess you can have a present.
@@wednesdayschild3627 😆
Great nutshell - flour, sugar and things in boxes.
Dr Fung
You are my incentive..thanks to you and all your videos im actually losing weight. I'm up to 18 hours now I watch all you videos learned so much from them .
.I feel great , strong going to the gym to do my zumba and strength training twice a week ..my sister offered me apple 🍎 pie with whipped cream on top junky stuff tasted disgusting !! I threw it OUT !! Thank you so much for pulling me thrue this intermittent program ...will stay on this until I lose the weight I want to lose 20 to 25 lbs .
Thank you
Much respect @Dr. Fung, you bring so much science and evidence to the table. I watch every video of yours and try to incorporate your advice and wisdom to my daily life.
We love 💘 you dr . Fung thank you for all the info you share with us !!!
Preach!!! Thanks for appealing to logic with clear evidence and history like all medicine should
I love love your channel. Thank you soooo much the low carb diet has helped me in the last seven months I’ve lost 35 pounds. Thank you
Thanks, Dr. Fung. Last year, I was 220 pounds at 5 ft 6 inches. I am male, early 50s. Thanks to IF and your videos, I a m now 165 pounds. My doctor was so impressed that he is now asking me for tips. On my way to eliminating my BP meds and may even my dependence on CPAP. I was able to do this without even exercising (ie weight training, HIIT). Just my regular walks with the dog. Living day to day with a vision to be my high school weight of 140 pounds. Thanks again Dr. Fung. Proud to be a fellow Canadian.
Your amazing information has changed my life thank you. I wish I had found this earlier in life
Back before obesity became a widespread problem, and before the anti-fat craze (and I'm old enough to remember) -- we still ate carbs, but those carbs were unfailingly smothered in fat, either butter or lard (or sometimes egg yolks), with at least 80% of the calories coming from fat. Perhaps equally important, the sources were entirely animal fats.
What we now call the Atkins diet was described in my college biochemistry textbook, which was published before 1972.
Everything old is new again, often for good reason.
my grandma, she ate fats with everything. no, she wasn't thin but she lived to 99..
Maybe, just maybe smothering the carbs in fat added a lot more calories and that increased calorie consumption is what makes people fat.
@@Ryan_DeWitt My point was just the opposite.
@@Reziac So, are you saying adding a bunch of extra calories on top of the calories already there in terms of fat will somehow through some magic will make you lose weight?
@@Ryan_DeWitt That's not what I said either. What's important is the ratio of carbs to fat. The more carbs, the more insulin, and the more calories get converted to stored fat in your body; the same calories as fat do not have this effect. When carbs predominate, you tend to eat more trying to make up for the energy that was stored rather than used, rinse and repeat until 400 pounds.
You can also graph a tidy parallel between phytoestrogen intake (mostly from soy), thyroid decline (which mediates the carb cycle; low thyroid means poor utilization and makes you crave sugar), and increasing obesity.
[Yes, my background is biochemistry. This is all first year stuff.]
I have been steadily loosing weight since going low to no carbs in 2016. Sometimes a cheat meal will turn in to a cheat week (or month), and I'll gain back some weight. You can always start back to eating properly. Fasting is also very important. I find that keto and carnivore make fasting very easy.
I used to find it nearly impossible to go most of a day without food, e.g. for Ash Wednesday or Good Friday. Since going low-carbohydrate it’s been easy, though I haven’t yet tried going a whole day without even a single meal, except once before a colonoscopy (fairly easy).
We are not built to live on meat & broccoli! We are starchivores, man is a sugar & salt seeker! U will get all the sugar u need eating vegetables. Fruits, potatoes, whole grains & beans! U can salt the surface of the food & use 1-2 tsp sugar in your oatmeal or coffee. As per Dr. John McDougall.
@@jgrysiak6566 You don’t need any starches or sugars in your diet. Your body can produce every bit of glucose it needs itself from fats and proteins. It doesn’t have to come from your diet.
Sugar is addictive and acts like a drug. That’s why “we” crave it. It is literally in every processed food. We are used to it!
Salt on the other hand is very important. I never got keto-flu by eating a pinch of salt every time I felt a headache arise. It always went away very quickly.
@@jgrysiak6566 you absolutely don’t need glucose as dietary requirements. Unless you damage your metabolic system then you must have some kind of carbohydrates every 4 hours just to feel normal. Take a note!! , your body able to make just enough glucose 24 hours from fat, protein, ketone,, etc.
@@karasilver5572 , Who told u this? Your muscles & brain require it to function! Keep talking yourself into a meat diet! U will convince yourself of your bad habits! Lol
I love your videos and the way you teach!
One naturopathy doctor's book told leave one time meal...dinner or breakfast will help body to repair...also avoid sugars and some bad foods....i followed it..and benefitted in weight control
Years later i heard about intermittent fasting and scince...i felt surprised that i was following intermittent fasting unknowingly😮
The man who changed my health and well being, thank you Dr Fungster
I am diabetic that was put on a steroid to treat a autoimmune diesease in June. My A1C was already over 7 I saw the impact of steroid on my blood sugar and decided it was time to do something.
Dr. Fung is right on the mark.
I have lost 40 pounds since middle June and find 24 to 36 hour fasts are easy to do. Benefits are huge besides weight loss. More energy than ever mind more focused. If fhey could put fasting in a box we would see ads all over UA-cam selling it.
Have actually followed advisory from govt, chucked out butter and switched to margarine, coconutvoil with sunflower oil, stopped ghee altogether. Weight just ballooned. Sure recipe for self destruction as bad as substance abuse.
Your not only amazing dr, educator and very good researcher thanks for all knowledge sharing dr. Fung..god bless..
I was 139 woman 5’1 and I went down to 97 pounds on Keto and fasting but, now I am eating heathy carbs. Like sweet potatoes and natural foods to gain weight cause I was getting too skinny. Now I am 114 pounds and look better! This is a learning process journey too! Please everyone don’t give up! Be kind to your body, thanks 🙏 Dr. Fung
It did work, ty. Glucose normal, bp normal, no meds, thanks to you.
Dr Fung, what you teach and share with your books and this channel has helped me more than you know. Thank you for your work.
I cut out carbs, direct carbs dish as bread and other processed foods and it's great.. I only get carbs now if there are small amounts in cream or some vegetables..
Although, a few years ago I did a lot of weight training and sort of intermittent fasting but I ate a lot of oats. Everyday and protein powders.. it took me nearly 2 years to lose weight and get ripped..
Now it too me under 2 months to lose weight just by cutting out carbs.. zero right training, because I hurt my shoulder.
I just walk now, everyday for over an hour 👍👍
Thanks for sharing these details. Big fan of your content and writing.
Dr Fung I love your videos I am down 50 lbs as of today and owe so much to you and your knowledge of keto . Ty so much ! ❤️
I was on a plataue for a year and half. Since I cut out all sugar except fruits, the occasional dark chocolate chips along with processed foods such as chips, crackers, and bread. My weight has started to drop again. It's been slow but steady.
Love your work and information that you provide!!! I have been Intermittent Fasting and low carb dieting for a month and am down 24 pounds. Thank you so much!!! I had no idea about IF a month ago and would have not given it a try if I had not seen your videos on it and learned that it is a safe way to lose weight.
Thank you so much Dr Fung!
EXCELLENT HISTORY. THANK YOU. On KETO I have lost 40 kgs and kept it ALL off 3 years now. Transitioning now to carnivore to lose the last 15 kgs to reach my target weight. Thank you Dr. Fung.
I hope your target weight (body composition) is healthy in the long term. Great result with maintaining the fat loss. I can't recommend long term ketogenic diets or "carnivore" due their lower life span effects. However, if it is only to reduce insulin resistance and is short term go for it and all the best.
You are amazing! Watching you from Bulgaria 🇧🇬❤️! The info you share is soooo important!
Love Bulgaria. Good fresh food there also
rereading your book.. its so interesting to me. high fat and moderate protein has been a game changer for me. I am more toned, and leaner due to your protocol. I will never count cals again! God bless you 🙏❤
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you.
Same
Dr Jason: you had motivated to loose 12 pounds in only 5 weeks . I was 178.4 and today i was 166 : Fasting ! Wow ! This is simple and spiritual enrichment too
Great video again Dr Fung!!!!
I've been counting calories and trying low carb the last few days. I have PCOS and all of its lovely side effects. I'm trying to improve my fatty liver and lose weight. I've lost 5lbs in 4 days just calorie counting/restricting. Hoping losing 60lbs will help with my PCOS.
I have it also how many calories are you doing a day? I find if I eat any type of carb I gain 😟 what foods are you sticking too?
@@Calejandre138 i used a TDEE calculator online to figure my calories. I’m short and sedentary so I’m eating 1350 a day. I’ve had cheesecake and Reese’s lol but portion control. So I use a food scale and weigh and track calories on MyFitnessPal. Everything I eat and drink I count. Im trying to start low carb/keto but I’m going slow since I’m a binge eater. Lots of water. And lots of protein.
@@swimvain Apples open up your liver pathways. Try eating an apple when you crave the sweets 🙂
Thank you so much for all of these knowledge that you are sharing to us im on 20 to 24hrs low carb diet no process food for me and just eat cassava for my carbs and more vegetables and fish for me and im so happy that i actually dont feel hungry at all when i only eat one meal
Make short clips as well thanks a such kind of informative and fruitfull knowledge
Alpino's chocolate oats and peanut butter are the best. The fiber keeps my digestion happy, and they keep me full with good protein intake. Plus, they're ridiculously delicious without added sugar. Perfect for anyone craving tasty weight loss!
Thank you, Dr. FUNG! I am in very healthy weight and i learnt about IF and low carb from you about 2 years ago. There r times i drink and let go of myself. But i always know how to come back. I will rewatch your videos when i need help. And now it is a lifestyle. Thank you.. thank you. Do you have a chinese channel so i can share with some asian friends?
Thank you Dr. Fung! 😀
Thanks!
Wow...just wow. I am from the UK and have been on a diet since I was 16 years and each year my weight has gone up and up over the years. I have tried so many diets included weightloss surgery which..hey you guessed it..it didn't work! Although I have lost a total of 10 stone...it's not been healthy! I have found your videos and am I am hooked...you make sense! I have started Fasting and plan to cut out refined foods/carbs and eat close to natural foods as possible. I have already cut out Obvious sugar and want to go further...slowly does it.. thank you so much for making these videos..so good to see you are still active. I make UA-cam videos myself under Fat2Health. I shall be sharing my find of your videos to my subscribers. Yesterday I was counting calories..today I am NOT! I would like to stay in touch. 👌🙏🌟👍🦋🦋🦋

Thank You! So Much! Your Information Is Really Helping Me!
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since 1970. Every endocrinologist I’ve had has worshipped carbohydrates and one insisted that if I had under 100 grams of carbohydrates a day I was risking premature death (board-certified endocrinologist). I kept gaining weight and only a nearly carnivore diet has let me lose weight and dropped hemoglobin A1C to around 5 from 6.2 or more.
So glad you found the right path.
Would you mind telling me if you're still using insulin? I'm a research chemist and have studied T1D extensively. I know that before the availability of exogenous insulin a very low carb and higher fat diet was the best approach for T1D-along with fasting protocols. But the reason I ask is there are a number os fairly recent research papers that suggest that most type 1 diabetics produce a small quantity of insulin endogenously. But this is suppressed when eating carbs. there is not a lot of support for this science because insulin is big business. So if you're willing, can you tell me. Thanks so much.
Congratulations! I trust you will gain a long health span. I hope you transition to a whole food plant based diet. A strict "carnivore" diet is not conducive to preventing cancer or cardiovascular diseases.
Dr. Fung, I am so happy to have found your videos. Very informative and broken down in simple terms. Thank you. I have only been working on this for 10 days and am currently on a 18/6 IF schedule. I have also removed all "carbs" (rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.) with the exception to those that are in vegetables. Unfortunately, I do not think that I have reduced my calorie intake. My glucose testing is dropping gradually on a daily basis. I suspect that the carbs in my salads are slowing that progress. I only use EVOO and ACV, but the salads themselves are fairly large. I suspect they are about 3 - 4 side salads. What can I say, it is hard to make a small side salad.
Thank you for another informative video :)
keep the momentum dude!
Love your informative videos. Thank you for changing the game.
Very interesting Dr. Fung! Thank you!
The key to a good future is usually within the past
Excellent as usual. So much commonsense.
Amen Dr. Fung! Excellent video!
