Wow, how long of a fast do u do? I've been intermittent fasting 19/5 & have lost 13 lbs but weight loss has now stalled. It seems like I'm just starving for dinner. How do I get past dinnertime with no dinner into the next day? I sleep better with something in my stomach!
Ya agreed ! Dr Jason Fung is very honest to us. He tell us what is actually happening to us and gave us the proper instructions to get better. Not just want to sell medication drugs to us to make money.
Amen Gary! Dr. Fung also just says it like it is. You don't have to spend any money on anything fancy if you wanna fast. Just simple water, have some tea and replenish minerals to ease the so called keto flu and you will pull through.
Two months ago I fasted for 19 days after acute pancreatitis. Went from 193 to 167 and after two months I’ve only gained back 3 pounds. My stomach shrunk and I eat 1/2 of what I used to and the weight is still slowly but surly coming back off (about 1/2 pound a week). Thank you Dr. Fung for changing my life.
That's interesting. So how much of a reduction is that? I read that mice lose like 20% of their weight in a 24 or 48 hour fast and get all these stem cells. But for a human that's like many days closer to what you did.
Exactly. Fasting not only creates calorie deficit, but it resets your hormones (like insulin, glucagon and leptin) and lowers the thermostat in your body - which prevents you from gaining much fat or weight again.
This is my third day in...feel great! I actually went 19 hrs before breaking my fast and I wasn't hungry until I started eating! it's amazing! Also, my body aches and pains are going away...and I slept great last night. This is magic and it is FREE! I am excited to see where I am in a month! Good luck everybody!
One of the best positives of IF is that it does make you more mindful of what you are eating. I’ve always eaten vegetables, fruits and meats. But, the more greens and other vegetables and fruits I eat now, along with IF, the less food I want. I am fuller on much less now.
It's so amazing how my joints were aching and inflamed. Second week in, doing omad, 20hr fasted I felt no joint pain like magic. Working better than any vitamin!
When I do IF I carry 2 bottles: one has water with some apple cider vinegar for the hunger pangs, and the other has water with himalayan pink salt for my electrolites. So far it's working just fine for me, I managed a 24 hour fast for the first time and I felt good, so i feel motivated to continue experimenting with IF and longer fasts.
@@Honey-Bee-25 IMO it's not needed as long as you include it in your diet, unless you have a potassium deficiency. Just my subjective opinion though, follow the science.

@Golden Calf I thought the same thing but actually it will speed it up. The fasting will force your body to use up the stored fat uv had for years. It regenerates cells and it re programs your body.

Been intermittent fasting for around a month. Starting my first 5 day water fast today. I’m a fitness instructor and everything I’ve been taught in my training, is opposite to what I’m learning myself by having my own fasting experiences. Not entirely sure how I give advice to my clients now whilst knowing that what I’ve been taught, is the opposite of my experience.

Hi Doc before i started low carb diet i am having diovan 320mg for my hypertension then after a month of low carb my doctor reduce it from 80mg, and i am now in 6 months low carb, and stopped my meds for my HB and T2 Diabetic though my doctor said to keep my 80mg HB meds my blood presure now is 120/70.
I needed to get my blood pressure down(175/106) done a 3 day water fast. 1st day the morning ate 4 dates and a banana, the rest of the day just drank water especially when I felt a need to eat, day 2 just drank water, day 3 just drank water, the evening of day 3 I broke my fast with a healthy supper. Blood pressure dropped to 117/82, guess how much weight I lost.... 3 kg, I couldn't believe it. My gp actually took notes as to how I did it. Definitely works, all it takes is strong will power

I can only fast for about 12 hours because I'm on medications that need to be taken with food twice a day. It still works, just slower. So far it's been about eight weeks and I've lost 14 pounds.
@will edwards don’t ever tell someone to stop taking meds. It could be vital for them to stay alive. If you’ve never extensively studied medicine, don’t give medical advice.
@will edwards yes you do. I’m a medical student. I thought similarly to you at one point before studying medicine. It’s very complex and takes years to fully understand. It’s not as simple as “get off medicine”... That’s how you kill people. Really. And medicine has been demonized way too much as of recently. It has been and will be because of medicine and new medical innovations that our human life expectancies increase. Now, if the person is no longer sick to the extent that they no longer need medication, then they should slowly get off the med under medical supervision. Will you tell a type one diabetic to stop taking insulin? No. Why? Because it’ll kill them. Before meds were available for them, many of them couldn’t live to even see 10. Quit the bs.
Thanks millions Dr Jason Fung, as a true medical specialist, all your explanations telling us followers to your channels have learned so much more than anyone else 🙏👍😊💕
I f is helping my diabetes a whole lot, along with no sugar, just eating vegetables,fruits, nuts and seeds, doing a lot better and also now have the energy to walk for exercise. I make my own cookies , muffins and all kinds of snacks with almond flour. Make my ice cream with heavy cream and berries, this is the only dairy I use. Almond milk for all other dairy I need. I drink lemon water, then coffee until lunch time. It’s not very hard for me I really don’t want to be on diabetic medicine the rest of my life, that’s my motivation,so far so good. Dr. Bobby Price helped me come to my senses about what I was putting in my body, Also Dr. William Davis, author of “Wheat Belly “.
Respected brother, l would request to please upload another discussion regarding fatigue and lower energy levels and anemia in diabetic patients with ckd. Thank you.
Yeah Good luck with that. It will deplete your electrolytes and give u serious keto flu. Headache Nausea Body aches Low energy. I'm 4 days in on snake juice and bulletproof coffee and still not hungry!... And no side effects.
David Greene I’ve been doing it since October and I feel great. None of what you listed. A true fast is water only. Any time you take in something that the liver has to process you reset the fasting clock. Go ahead and take whatever you want, but it’s not considered a true fast.
@@davegreene1198 today its snake juice, tmw some other dude is going to persuade you into something else, so let me be the one that recommends you the gyro diet , you can eat gyros , and as many gyros as you like but the secret is to fast for 48 hours after . So try my new gyro diet , with your snake diet and your bulletproof coffee .
I have been low carb for 3 months fasting 23/1 for 2 months lost 35 pounds and aic went from 8.5 to 6.5..... I walk 2 or 3 miles a day and weight lift ... this has been a game changer
Dr. Fung really knows what he is talking about. He’s truly helping people. I’m going to start a 7 day fast and if I can go longer to 21 days I will continue. I am curious what green tea does he know is the best quality and when to drink it if you are on a fast? What is Dr.Fung’s take on a dry fast where no water is consumed?
I wish i can meet him one day and thank him personally for how he is revolutinising the health system. God keep this man protect him and his family. Followed his advice on intermittent fasting and i am completely free from diabetics. A1c down from 6.5 to 4.6 in four months
I am very happy to share my results from October 10 I was doing regular work out but unable to loose weight also I was unable to control my hunger, but since I came across concept of calories v/s hormone by Dr fung all my concepts got cleared I have lost my fat by proper life style change now everyone is asking me how I have become so much fit even if I am eating so much
I'm so glad I decided to learn properly and follow the Doc. So far I've lost 55kg thru Fasting. 45kg to go. Alot of trial n error lol but I found what works for me. Long story short, I had brain surgery for IIH had a VP Shunt placed and got sick of this disease ruling me. Tried everything but nothing helped. This did and my Dr monitored me. Still is I want to hit remission soon. This is my lifestyle now Love it. Helps when you get great knowledge from real experts. 💯
I like the 16 hour fast between 5pm to 9am the next day combined with no snacking between meals, less processed junk food, and the weight came right off and I felt much better.
@@henji9165 I just ate three meals between 10am and 6 pm, little carbs, avoid sugar and junk food, more vegetables and lean protein, and drink coffee and tea between meals when hungry.
My A1c is FINALLY normal and it took me about 4 months to start creating my own ketones ... I took ketones to help get me to ketosis ... so far lost 70 pounds
@@RobL358 you’re correct. Especially for people who haven’t done it and go too hard when they try it. BUT, I’ve done multiple extended dry fasts: 1-7 days each. Never had kidney stones ever. I think the way I started and ended each fast was key. I drink apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice and that does the trick. Remember, body fat + your breath literally creates metabolic water when you’re dry fasting. So hydration isn’t necessarily an issue for people with plenty of fat reserves available while dry fasting. Obviously you can only do it for so long before you have to drink some water, but I still think everyone should experience it!
@@wisenige any metabolic water the body produces is so tiny, it just gets breathed out. Dry fasting definitely leads to dehydration over time. I'm not a fan
Thank you in advance :) I am really curious about some other adaptogenic herbs in terms of being safe to not break fast or autophagy . Here are the ingredients in an "alternative coffee " called Rasa, I really love made only with organic adaptogens herbs zero calories, zero carbs , no nutritional count and only these herbs as ingredients : Roasted chicory, burdock, & dandelion roots; eleuthero, shatavari, he shou wu, codonopsis, chaga mycelium, ashwagandha, rhodiola, Ceylon cinnamon, reishi extract* * All certified organic, non-GMO,
I literally watched two people who one was a doctor and the other a professional diet fitness trainer ?!? And they both contradicted each other ... but yo these dudes came at me with facts, evidence , studies, and example .... bruh thank you
This is exactly my style of information. I can actually learn from this and the way it’s presented and supported with published studies, I can trust it too. I love green tea but will drink it more during my IF. I wasn’t aware of the green tea synergy 🎉 more reason to drink green tea ❤ thank you for this!! I’m definitely subscribing as a Doctor of Chinese medicine, clinical researcher, and Active Intermittent Faster I appreciate this episode on so many levels 🙏
I agree. I've experiened that a little bone broth is both soothing and delicious. It totally calms my hunger and stabilizes my system. I just love it and recommend to almost everyone to include it.
Jana Scuderi Hi Jana, this is Carmen from Germany. Do you make your bone broth or can it be store bought? I am doing IF and Keto but After 5 pm I am constantly hungry and have a hard time sleeping because I am so hungry.
@@carmenhofmann6786 Hi Carmen! I have made the broth using poultry carcasses but not with beef bones, so far. We have many brands to choose from at the stores. If you get hungry at night, after your last meal, you can try the broth of course. But also see if adding a little extra fat to your supper will increase your fullness. I also enjoy a cup of roasted grain beverage instead of coffee. It doesn't seem to affect me adversely.
On a multiple day fast my metabolism reduces and body temperature also drops to where is difficult to work outside in the cold. To overcome this I tried eating a 3 to 4 oz. tin of sardines. That seemed to allow my body to produce enough heat to function in the cold but I still seemed to have an effective five day fast. What do you think about this? I don't drink coffee or tea.
You try cruciferous with fats and reduce intake of carbohydrates and do not overdose the proteins. If you overdose proteins your muscles goes to shrink, not your fats. Take one meal per day. On other time if you feel hungry, drink clear water. It took time ower fortnight, and then your fat start burning down. Vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, lemon, egg yolk, fermented products. Not bred, cereals, floor, products with sugar.
Yes. I couldn't get through the night fasting because of no sleep. I drug myself out of bed and ate one king Oscar sardine tin and collapsed back into bed. I felt more light and lost more it seemed like than when I fight through all night and raise my cortisol and feel exhausted. That's the issue with me though, portion control. How to refeed on less than 500 calories
Can you have bone broth during fasting times? Ir can I have tea and add coconut oil? I work from 11-8pm. Get home by 9pm. I’m hungry. Can we personalize customize our fasting/eating hours?
My question is DOES GREEN TEA INTERFERE WITH 'STEM CELLS' IN A FAST? I am skinny and I understand it helps autophagy, but I cannot find whether it helps stem cells. My main reason for fasting prolonged is to heal injuries. I've read things that 'caffeine' may interfere with stem cells, but it's not clear. Most everything about green tea sounds positive, yet some people like Longo and Patrick suggest that it interferes. Anyways I love green tea. Just want to get the most out of the fast. Not drinking it makes it 2X harder I think. I'll pour off the first cup sometimes to decaf a bit so they say.
My understanding is the best way to promote stem cell production is dry fasting with Phoenix Protocol by August Dunning. I just finished it and there was a lot in there on stem cell production.
Keto was too restrictive for me. I now do the OMAD protocol and walk 7 to 10 miles a day and I've never felt better. I eat what I want and I sleep like a baby and the weight keeps falling off. This works with my lifestyle and getting results has never been more satisfying.
@megakids yes, it is time consuming and typically I walk in the early morning - tho I feel the time of day doesn't matter as much as just simply going out and walking. I would recommend starting with 5 miles or 10, 000 steps... this will take a little over 2 hrs to complete.
Oh wooow!! I did not know that being a Type 2 Diabetic could inhibit my Ketosis. Maybe that's why I feel like burned macaroni every time I've tried to go into Ketosis. I'll have to study more on this.
He knows what he’s talking about. Love this guy. One of rhe best doctors in rhe field of Nephrology and how to control diabetes. Am doing intermittent fasting. Thanks Dr. Fung. God bless u and your family. Stay safe.
I tend to get constipation aside from not being able to sleep when I drink any kind of tea, why is that so? Any advice would be appreciated on which kinds of tea I could try that would have the same effect as green tea for weight loss.
I'm allergic to caffeine, green tea, black tea, or anything that stimulates my nervous system they trigger panic attacks). Can I still do IF without messing with my metabolism?
2016 Nobel prize in medicine ........Simon points out that cells switch on autophagy in response to starvation. Calorie restriction, such as intermittent fasting in the 5:2 diet or during Ramadan, may help us to live long and healthy lives. It is possible that reducing our calorie intake to 70% of what we have been used to eating will boost our autophagy and help to prevent a wide range of disease. Exercise also promotes more autophagy, as experiments that get mice to run on mini treadmills has shown. Advice to feast on fruit, veg and red wine is hardly new. But thanks to this year’s Nobel prize-winner, our understanding of the science that underpins it is developing all the time. The next step will be drugs, supplements and interventions that could stave off the ravages of ageing and a host of debilitating diseases. We are not there yet, but we are one step closer.
I am curious about green tea. I drink Tazo Zen green tea but it has some extra herbs, etc. No calories. I've been told that I am not clean fasting because it isn't only tea. Has Dr. Fung addressed this? I think I heard him say somewhere that if there are no calories or sweeteners (even artificial) it's OK.
I’m still searching for more info on the mTOR pathway and amino acids and what happens during fasting for autophagy while fasting and taking amino acids. I liked the video but the host was speaking very quickly which may be fine for Fung but perhaps the rest of us need a few extra seconds to understand what’s being said.
Look for Jason Fung's "therapeutic fasting/ autophagy" or just look for Jason Fung and you'll find loads of videos on these topics. He's an expert on fasting.
Thanks Dr Fung..this is the first video I’ve watched of you. I’m a bit confused about how to use bone broth and the amino acid point you brought up. I want maximum autophaghy..so how do I approach consumption of aminos now? Are there other nutrients etc that impede/negatively effect autophaghy? Thankyou 😊
That’s great, but wouldn’t you enjoy a more nutrient dense / healthy diet if you were omnivore? I’m thinking of vitamin B deficiency in particular, as well as the avoidance of inflammatory lectins. What are the reasons why you chose to eat that restrictive, non-evolutionary way?
Patricia Diekroger fair enough,.. but by stating I’m vegan before Anything else she implies that it’s a good thing.... and not that her health would likely improve by coming off such an unnatural diet. No offence meant 🤭 gotta watch out for vegan bias babe
@@patriot20000 I watched a video of 2 doctors (couple) did some experiments on different sugar free sweetener in their black coffee while fasting and most of the sweetener showed they raised their insulins. MCT oil increases ketones and not their insulins. So may be no sweetener while fasting is better.
How about Optimally Organic's Fulvic Ionic Minerals X350 ? I take 7 drops twice daily in approx 300 mm of distilled water, (9 am, then again at 5pm.) I would assume it would be okay on a 40 day water fast ?

Me to, I'm diabetic and can't fast as my meds make me I'll if I don't have them with meal, no diabetic should be fasting
@will edwards don’t ever tell someone to stop taking meds. It could be vital for them to stay alive. If you’ve never extensively studied medicine, don’t give medical advice.
@will edwards yes you do. I’m a medical student. I thought similarly to you at one point before studying medicine. It’s very complex and takes years to fully understand. It’s not as simple as “get off medicine”... That’s how you kill people. Really. And medicine has been demonized way too much as of recently. It has been and will be because of medicine and new medical innovations that our human life expectancies increase. Now, if the person is no longer sick to the extent that they no longer need medication, then they should slowly get off the med under medical supervision. Will you tell a type one diabetic to stop taking insulin? No. Why? Because it’ll kill them. Before meds were available for them, many of them couldn’t live to even see 10. Quit the bs.
drinking water makes me less hungry for a few minutes, but later I'm even more hungry. So I avoid water, it increases my hunger
My own personal thing I do is put in ACV and pink salt. It helps a bunch with hunger. Electrolytes.
Few grain of himolian salt curtails the hunger.
Thanks millions Dr Jason Fung, as a true medical specialist, all your explanations telling us followers to your channels have learned so much more than anyone else 🙏👍😊💕
For a minute I was like wtf, Dr Jason got younger for real!!🔥
Me too🤣
I f is helping my diabetes a whole lot, along with no sugar, just eating vegetables,fruits, nuts and seeds, doing a lot better and also now have the energy to walk for exercise. I make my own cookies , muffins and all kinds of snacks with almond flour. Make my ice cream with heavy cream and berries, this is the only dairy I use. Almond milk for all other dairy I need.
I drink lemon water, then coffee until lunch time. It’s not very hard for me I really don’t want to be on diabetic medicine the rest of my life, that’s my motivation,so far so good. Dr. Bobby Price helped me come to my senses about what I was putting in my body, Also Dr. William Davis, author of “Wheat Belly “.
Been fasting for a week and just don't feel too hungry, always in a state where I could eat more but can easily hold off meals if I have beverages.
In your eating/feeding window you should eat until you’re full - before you fast again.
what do you mean 'been fasting for s
a week? Had no food for seven days?
I am Dr.Fungs apostle , I tell everyone about him who cares about their health
Respected brother, l would request to please upload another discussion regarding fatigue and lower energy levels and anemia in diabetic patients with ckd. Thank you.
Water. I just saved you 12 min of your life.
Yeah
Good luck with that.
It will deplete your electrolytes and give u serious keto flu.
Headache
Nausea
Body aches
Low energy.
I'm 4 days in on snake juice and bulletproof coffee and still not hungry!... And no side effects.
David Greene I’ve been doing it since October and I feel great. None of what you listed. A true fast is water only. Any time you take in something that the liver has to process you reset the fasting clock. Go ahead and take whatever you want, but it’s not considered a true fast.
Thanks
Looking for that comment
Haha :)
@@davegreene1198 today its snake juice, tmw some other dude is going to persuade you into something else, so let me be the one that recommends you the gyro diet , you can eat gyros , and as many gyros as you like but the secret is to fast for 48 hours after . So try my new gyro diet , with your snake diet and your bulletproof coffee .
I have been low carb for 3 months fasting 23/1 for 2 months lost 35 pounds and aic went from 8.5 to 6.5..... I walk 2 or 3 miles a day and weight lift ... this has been a game changer
Congrats! I hope you are still doing well!
Anyone on here do a “water” fast with black coffee and green tea? Recommend any video. This video was great info. Thank you.
Dr. Fung really knows what he is talking about. He’s truly helping people. I’m going to start a 7 day fast and if I can go longer to 21 days I will continue. I am curious what green tea does he know is the best quality and when to drink it if you are on a fast?
What is Dr.Fung’s take on a dry fast where no water is consumed?
Dry fast will ramp up fat burning even faster than with water fasting. Read Phoenix Protocol by August Dunning.
Your explanations are super digestive, I you are the BEST DOCTOR FUNG
I love Dr. Fung's perpetual sense of outtrage. He has a thinly veiled desire to smack nay-sayers upside the head. I can relate.
Lol true
I love it too and also it’s completely righteous. So many people have been misled by doctors for decades now, needlessly suffering.
I wish i can meet him one day and thank him personally for how he is revolutinising the health system. God keep this man protect him and his family. Followed his advice on intermittent fasting and i am completely free from diabetics. A1c down from 6.5 to 4.6 in four months
I am very happy to share my results from October 10 I was doing regular work out but unable to loose weight also I was unable to control my hunger, but since I came across concept of calories v/s hormone by Dr fung all my concepts got cleared I have lost my fat by proper life style change now everyone is asking me how I have become so much fit even if I am eating so much
I'm so glad I decided to learn properly and follow the Doc. So far I've lost 55kg thru Fasting. 45kg to go. Alot of trial n error lol but I found what works for me. Long story short, I had brain surgery for IIH had a VP Shunt placed and got sick of this disease ruling me. Tried everything but nothing helped. This did and my Dr monitored me. Still is I want to hit remission soon. This is my lifestyle now Love it. Helps when you get great knowledge from real experts. 💯
I like the 16 hour fast between 5pm to 9am the next day combined with no snacking between meals, less processed junk food, and the weight came right off and I felt much better.
How long have you been on this schedule?
@@A1FBG_Mexico about 8 weeks, went from 217 to 200 pounds.
@@jamespn What do you eat on your second food?
@@henji9165 I just ate three meals between 10am and 6 pm, little carbs, avoid sugar and junk food, more vegetables and lean protein, and drink coffee and tea between meals when hungry.
So you fast everyday 16 hours from 5pm to 9am?
My A1c is FINALLY normal and it took me about 4 months to start creating my own ketones ... I took ketones to help get me to ketosis ... so far lost 70 pounds
congrats can you share it
what’s a normal A1C?
What you did for normal A1c plz share
What ketones did you take
Thankyou dr yes il increase green tea
BEST FAST = only water and if dizzy/tired you can add salt. Thats it.
Dry Fasting edges it out in my opinion. But obviously you can water fast longer
@@wisenige Dry fasting can cause kidney stones. Not a good idea. Always stay hydrated with plenty of water while fasting.
@@RobL358 you’re correct. Especially for people who haven’t done it and go too hard when they try it. BUT, I’ve done multiple extended dry fasts: 1-7 days each. Never had kidney stones ever.
I think the way I started and ended each fast was key. I drink apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice and that does the trick.
Remember, body fat + your breath literally creates metabolic water when you’re dry fasting. So hydration isn’t necessarily an issue for people with plenty of fat reserves available while dry fasting. Obviously you can only do it for so long before you have to drink some water, but I still think everyone should experience it!
@@wisenige any metabolic water the body produces is so tiny, it just gets breathed out. Dry fasting definitely leads to dehydration over time. I'm not a fan
@@wisenige That's nuts . Your body needs water.
His voice is so nice.
So green tea basically???
Thank you in advance :) I am really curious about some other adaptogenic herbs in terms of being safe to not break fast or autophagy . Here are the ingredients in an "alternative coffee " called Rasa, I really love made only with organic adaptogens herbs zero calories, zero carbs , no nutritional count and only these herbs as ingredients : Roasted chicory, burdock, & dandelion roots; eleuthero, shatavari, he shou wu, codonopsis, chaga mycelium, ashwagandha, rhodiola, Ceylon cinnamon, reishi extract*
* All certified organic, non-GMO,
Sounds delightful.
Thank you. Going to check that out
I literally watched two people who one was a doctor and the other a professional diet fitness trainer ?!? And they both contradicted each other ... but yo these dudes came at me with facts, evidence , studies, and example .... bruh thank you
Thank you Dr.Fung you're a Hero!
Thanks H.V.M.N for this great informations!
I love you guys!
This is exactly my style of information. I can actually learn from this and the way it’s presented and supported with published studies, I can trust it too. I love green tea but will drink it more during my IF. I wasn’t aware of the green tea synergy 🎉 more reason to drink green tea ❤ thank you for this!! I’m definitely subscribing as a Doctor of Chinese medicine, clinical researcher, and Active Intermittent Faster I appreciate this episode on so many levels 🙏
I agree. I've experiened that a little bone broth is both soothing and delicious. It totally calms my hunger and stabilizes my system. I just love it and recommend to almost everyone to include it.
Jana Scuderi Hi Jana, this is Carmen from Germany. Do you make your bone broth or can it be store bought? I am doing IF and Keto but After 5 pm I am constantly hungry and have a hard time sleeping because I am so hungry.
@@carmenhofmann6786 Hi Carmen! I have made the broth using poultry carcasses but not with beef bones, so far. We have many brands to choose from at the stores. If you get hungry at night, after your last meal, you can try the broth of course. But also see if adding a little extra fat to your supper will increase your fullness. I also enjoy a cup of roasted grain beverage instead of coffee. It doesn't seem to affect me adversely.
Jana Scuderi thank you so much for taking the time to respond and help!have a happy new year!
@@carmenhofmann6786, You too😉
Great Information, thank you! What is the name of the crystallizes green tea that Dr Fung, talked about. Thanks!
Pique Tea Crystals
Green tea on an empty stomach makes me nauseous
monkeybearmax Me too. It even makes me dizzy if I have tea in an empty stomach
Me too, it makes me puke.
Me as well. Makes me feel foggy, faint, and nauseated.
I have to mix green with mint or another herbal, can't take it alone.
Caffeine/ coffee
Great information. What tea did Dr. Fung mentioned, peak tea?
On a multiple day fast my metabolism reduces and body temperature also drops to where is difficult to work outside in the cold. To overcome this I tried eating a 3 to 4 oz. tin of sardines. That seemed to allow my body to produce enough heat to function in the cold but I still seemed to have an effective five day fast. What do you think about this? I don't drink coffee or tea.
You try cruciferous with fats and reduce intake of carbohydrates and do not overdose the proteins. If you overdose proteins your muscles goes to shrink, not your fats. Take one meal per day. On other time if you feel hungry, drink clear water. It took time ower fortnight, and then your fat start burning down. Vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, lemon, egg yolk, fermented products. Not bred, cereals, floor, products with sugar.
Yes. I couldn't get through the night fasting because of no sleep. I drug myself out of bed and ate one king Oscar sardine tin and collapsed back into bed. I felt more light and lost more it seemed like than when I fight through all night and raise my cortisol and feel exhausted. That's the issue with me though, portion control. How to refeed on less than 500 calories

So buy "Peak Tea" for the concentrated catechins? The one in the plastic bottles at convenience stores, and unsweetened?
Gabriella Victory pique tea crystals
Where do I buy the Ptea? Trying to set up myself to start fast. Thanks Dr. Fung you’re an amazing Doctor! God bless you!
Love listening to Dr Fung
Learned a lot from Dr . Fong. He motivated me. Will fast 24 days a week of 24 hrs.
What if your not over weight and your thinned instead. But with type 2 diabetes does fasting work or make it worse.
Can you have bone broth during fasting times? Ir can I have tea and add coconut oil? I work from 11-8pm. Get home by 9pm. I’m hungry. Can we personalize customize our fasting/eating hours?
Been on matcha for 4 yrs now. Reduced migraine 90%. Miss coffee. My health is most important. 😄
Dr. Fung is one of my favourite humans.
My question is DOES GREEN TEA INTERFERE WITH 'STEM CELLS' IN A FAST? I am skinny and I understand it helps autophagy, but I cannot find whether it helps stem cells. My main reason for fasting prolonged is to heal injuries.
I've read things that 'caffeine' may interfere with stem cells, but it's not clear. Most everything about green tea sounds positive, yet some people like Longo and Patrick suggest that it interferes.
Anyways I love green tea. Just want to get the most out of the fast. Not drinking it makes it 2X harder I think. I'll pour off the first cup sometimes to decaf a bit so they say.
My understanding is the best way to promote stem cell production is dry fasting with Phoenix Protocol by August Dunning. I just finished it and there was a lot in there on stem cell production.
Dry fasting isn't recommend for most amd no evidence fry fasting is best@@Star_Light_4
Keto was too restrictive for me. I now do the OMAD protocol and walk 7 to 10 miles a day and I've never felt better. I eat what I want and I sleep like a baby and the weight keeps falling off. This works with my lifestyle and getting results has never been more satisfying.
@megakids yes, it is time consuming and typically I walk in the early morning - tho I feel the time of day doesn't matter as much as just simply going out and walking. I would recommend starting with 5 miles or 10, 000 steps... this will take a little over 2 hrs to complete.
Don't worry about your calories. Intermittent fasting, one meal a day, high natural fat, plus carnivore equals massive body fat loss.
I've lost over 50lb in 7 months exactly this way!
I'm down 30# in 2 months also!
Dr. Jason is the best!
10 cups a day is kinda like normal consumption for asian. You brew 2 pots and you just finish it through out the day
Race does matter, but only when it comes to health? That is racist.
@@Trthsker24 no it's obviously cultural. I have Asian friends who do the same. Very good way to get water into the body imo.
Singing Mama lol calm down
Singing Mama whoa chill i mean its what culturally do, we just drink a lot of tea. I mean i brew a pot or two day just for myself.
I am Polish and 10,15 cups is normal for me as well 😁
Oh wooow!! I did not know that being a Type 2 Diabetic could inhibit my Ketosis. Maybe that's why I feel like burned macaroni every time I've tried to go into Ketosis. I'll have to study more on this.
He knows what he’s talking about. Love this guy. One of rhe best doctors in rhe field of Nephrology and how to control diabetes. Am doing intermittent fasting. Thanks Dr. Fung. God bless u and your family. Stay safe.
I tend to get constipation aside from not being able to sleep when I drink any kind of tea, why is that so? Any advice would be appreciated on which kinds of tea I could try that would have the same effect as green tea for weight loss.
Some Teas have caffeine that’s why you can’t sleep
You are just great Dr Fung!

2016 Nobel prize in medicine ........Simon points out that cells switch on autophagy in response to starvation. Calorie restriction, such as intermittent fasting in the 5:2 diet or during Ramadan, may help us to live long and healthy lives. It is possible that reducing our calorie intake to 70% of what we have been used to eating will boost our autophagy and help to prevent a wide range of disease. Exercise also promotes more autophagy, as experiments that get mice to run on mini treadmills has shown.
Advice to feast on fruit, veg and red wine is hardly new. But thanks to this year’s Nobel prize-winner, our understanding of the science that underpins it is developing all the time. The next step will be drugs, supplements and interventions that could stave off the ravages of ageing and a host of debilitating diseases. We are not there yet, but we are one step closer.
Hi! What is that 5:2 diet you mentioned?
Glad I watched this
Jason is simply Fung-tastic!
🤣
Lmaoo
Agreed!! He’s funging amazing!!
God bless u dr Jason fung. A lot of love from India
I use lime water.
Add some natural salt like Pink Himalaya
I use lemon water and 1 green tea bag. 👍 It really helps control my hunger at night.
I am taking notes
I am curious about green tea. I drink Tazo Zen green tea but it has some extra herbs, etc. No calories. I've been told that I am not clean fasting because it isn't only tea. Has Dr. Fung addressed this? I think I heard him say somewhere that if there are no calories or sweeteners (even artificial) it's OK.
I’m still searching for more info on the mTOR pathway and amino acids and what happens during fasting for autophagy while fasting and taking amino acids. I liked the video but the host was speaking very quickly which may be fine for Fung but perhaps the rest of us need a few extra seconds to understand what’s being said.
Look for Jason Fung's "therapeutic fasting/ autophagy" or just look for Jason Fung and you'll find loads of videos on these topics. He's an expert on fasting.
What tea would you recommend for this effect. I heard something like P tea? But I am not sure.
Thanks Dr Fung..this is the first video I’ve watched of you. I’m a bit confused about how to use bone broth and the amino acid point you brought up. I want maximum autophaghy..so how do I approach consumption of aminos now? Are there other nutrients etc that impede/negatively effect autophaghy? Thankyou 😊
Dr. Fung does say bone broth is acceptable, however, if you want the best fasting benefit water with a little bit of salt is better he says.
Are vitamin supplements necessary during a 4-7 day fast?
I'm vegan and I do OMAD and water-only fast 4 days every 6 weeks.
TheWodeh peace- What’s OMAD?
@@lisag2627 One Meal A Day
That’s great, but wouldn’t you enjoy a more nutrient dense / healthy diet if you were omnivore? I’m thinking of vitamin B deficiency in particular, as well as the avoidance of inflammatory lectins. What are the reasons why you chose to eat that restrictive, non-evolutionary way?
@@hgm8337 Maybe she enjoys more living her life Her way instead of Your way.
Patricia Diekroger fair enough,.. but by stating I’m vegan before Anything else she implies that it’s a good thing.... and not that her health would likely improve by coming off such an unnatural diet. No offence meant 🤭 gotta watch out for vegan bias babe
So what is a good source of green tea extract, in a sufficiently concentrated form I can just pop a capsule in the morning and get a good benefit?
Can we use stevia to sweeten beverages and is lemon water ok
From all the videos I have watched - No sweeteners - lemon water ok
Don't see why not since it doesn't affect insulin.
@@patriot20000 I watched a video of 2 doctors (couple) did some experiments on different sugar free sweetener in their black coffee while fasting and most of the sweetener showed they raised their insulins. MCT oil increases ketones and not their insulins. So may be no sweetener while fasting is better.
