Sir, unrelated to your video but is there a difference between chewing your food from just making it into a drinkable one. Let’s say blueberries, I mix it with kefir or yoghurt blend it then drink. I’m wondering if saliva has anything to do with it. I’m not a health expert, just a normal person who lost weight thanks to your fasting videos.
Jason I know you’re busy a reply would be awesome in my situation. I’m 30 m. I went doctor I had bloods done fasting level 9.2 and hba1c was 5.5 So doctor ordered a gtt test 5.1 fasting at 1 hr 6.2 at 2 hrs 5.2 He recommended to come back in 3 months and test again I’m not sure if this is diabetes or not. I brought a test kick finger prick and following my sugar levels. Last 3 days 5.3 5.5 . 5.8 I’ve changed my diet lost 7 kg and stopped alcohol consumption also. 7 weeks no drink.
Can diabetics fast for more than 24 hours? I came to know that diabetics fasting for 24 hours or more could be dangerous because of the risk of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis risks
Hi Dr Fung, I'm so new to your channel, I find it very interesting and I want to learn, know and fix my condition, without any more meds, I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and recently found out that I'm pre diabetic! Smh but I'm strong and I'm not going to be diabetic with you and God on my side I know I can beat this and get off all meds, Are you here to help me yes or no ?? Lol
All I hear in my diabetes group is you should eat 4 - 6 small meals and eat to keep your blood sugar level. Which of course keeps insulin active in the body. I managed to reverse mine in three months completely doing one meal a day. It's crazy what these doctors, dietitians and quite frankly the American Diabetes Association is telling Type 2 diabetics.
@@gcs7817I don't even think it's that. What kickbacks does a dietitian get? I think they are just just too damn lazy to keep up with new treatments and discoveries.
@@rhiahlMT Guess who visits a dieticians office or a hospital that employs dieticians ? Pharma reps who bring catered food and branded office supplies. And free drug samples … If a patient got healthy , they’d no longer need the services of a dietician
The 6 small meals philosophy was what I was told back in the 80’s. It’s what was believed to be best. The great thing about fasting, especially one meal a day, is that it basically doesn’t matter what you eat for that meal. You don’t have to worry about what you can and can’t have. Give yourself a time limit, usually 1 to 2 hours, to eat what you want then shut off the intake until 22 or so hours later. This is literally life changing.
❤❤❤Dr Fung should have received a standing 10 minute ovation with flowers being thrown at him at the start of his lecture! He has saved thousands of people from amputation, blindness and a slow agonising death.❤❤❤
@planetina5616 I'm always amazed at how he has gone against the rest of the medical community and is actually curing diabetes. The others are cowards and in it for the money. My own doctor is stunningly ignorant and the specialist she sent me to tried to get me on 3 more meds. Had nothing to help lose weight. It's as if they don't know what causes diabetes. SMH
What about Nobel Prize for these group of Chinese doctors who may have found a permament cure to DM? From SCMP news (27 May 2024) In world first, Chinese scientists report cell therapy cure in diabetes case A 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes who needed multiple insulin injections daily was given an innovative cell transplant He has now been insulin-free for 33 months and is not on any other medication, giving hope to other diabetes sufferers For patients battling diabetes, a group of Chinese scientists and clinicians may offer a glimmer of hope. For the first time in the world, a patient’s diabetes has reportedly been cured using cell therapy. The patient, a 59-year-old man who had been living with type 2 diabetes for 25 years, was at serious risk of complications from the disease. He had a kidney transplant in 2017, but had lost most of his pancreatic islet function which controls blood glucose levels, and relied on multiple insulin injections every day.
I followed his advice of fasting for more than a year and the results are amazing. I lost the extra lbs and completely reversed the diabetes I had recently diagnosed with. Now after two years, two meals a day + an hour walk a day solved all my health issues. I am healthy now but I will follow his advice for the most part of my life.
Dr Fung has changed my life, I follow his advice and lost 50 pounds since doing intermittent fasting. I started in April and my health has never been better. I’m off my blood pressure medication and my glucose has returned to normal. I’m so grateful that I have found his UA-cam channel. Thank you Dr Fung
Dr. Jason Fung has saved my life. I was diagnosed with diabetes two last year two days later I found out about Dr. Jason Fung and I started intermittent fasting within six months I remove diabetes two from my life. They wanted me to be on prescription drugs I opted for fasting and paying attention to what Dr. Jason Fung said, and it healed my body, so thank you Dr. Jason Fung you're my hero.
I have my fasting blood glucose at 7.8moll at times is 8.1moll doctors suggested I take treatment and I refused I'm not taking sugar with my tea I sometimes take a teaspoon of honey I'm not big I weigh 68kg can you please advise last year January I fasted for 21 days 6am to 6pm and after 21 days of fasting I checked my blood glucose was very low 2.9moll
Sounds to me like what really happened was you hadn't listened to your medical specialists, then lost weight while fasting, reducing your adipose tissue and thus insulin resistance. Nicola Guess and Nutrition Made Simple are better than Fung. I don't listen to anybody else their information isn't good enough. For example, Dr. Stanfield says there's no benefit to IF beyond caloric restriction. But, if this method works for you, that's all that matters
@@joycekekana1186, Instead of honey, try NOW Monk Fruit it has no affect on your blood sugar levels at all. I use it in my tea and coffee and when making low carb treats which I have once in a while.
I can't afford any meds or doctors, so I started intermittent fasting 2 months ago and all my type-2 symptoms are gone. Down 4 holes in my waist belt and my cost of living is next to nothing, less trips to the store etc etc. Only took me 2 years to finally try it LOL, thanks Jason.
@mtbalot That only confirms that you're now on the right path! 4 hours for 20 seconds Dr. Seems so crazy, the only reason folks put up with must be out of desperation. It's a bit better here in Canada, but I'd still avoid the med system if at all possible. All best wishes to you!
Love Dr. Fung! I'm 60 and I've lost 160 by reading his books and watching his videos and lectures. It reversed ALL my health issues. I'm maintaining great and love my fasting lifestyle 🥰. Thanks for all you do 🙏☺️
I agree Dr Fung has also changed my life. I followed his advice and it has worked for me. Lost 50 pounds since April and will continue to follow his advice and intermittent fasting. Thank you Dr Fung
Yes, I agree! Started Low carb for 3 mths & IF for about 4 mths now. I am off all medications for diabetes, now continuing OMAD & planning to slowly ease into Extended Fasting to maximise Autophagy to reverse multiple diabetic complications I developed due to 24 yrs of misled T2 treatment.
@@bobwong8268 Congratulations to you! I thank God every day for these brave and generous doctors who are willing to share their knowledge with us 🙏🥰. Wishing you continued success and wellness 👍☺️
I was wondering how you did it ? Were you on a carb diet like Atkins ? You can eat eggs meat fish fat wasn’t an issue . Or were you counting calories I’m 67
@@tammyginczycki-vh5do Hi! I got rid of ALL refined carbs and sugars. Just ate real food. I upped my natural, saturated fats that are more filling. Please read Dr. Fung's book The Obesity Code. It explains why we get fat. Also watch his videos and lectures. You can see my story on The Magic of Fasting UA-cam channel 😃👍. Good luck and be well 😊
Hello, what you have been taken? What types of food during the fasting period? Kindly share with me. I have had type 2 diabetes for almost 3 years. We are Muslims and this is fasting month, I fast but I couldn't reverse it. If you kindly share your diet and types of food you were taken during the fasting period. I would appreciate it!
@@rraval6963 I'm currently in the same boat, more or less. I'm currently on 2 1/2 days without eating (I was ill over the weekend & not hungry), and whilst the scale says I lost 5kgs, my blood sugars are still around 7.5-8 (mmol/l, the UK measure). The key to permanently lower blood sugar is weight loss: I've previously done "The Newcastle Diet" - 8 weeks of severely calorie restricted eating, after which I was about 10kg lighter, and - for a while - was technically back to being pre-diabetic. However, unfortunately I let the good work go to waste (waist?) and put the lbs back on, and here we are. Going to try IF properly now, probably OMAD with maybe a 36-48hr fast every few days, depending on how my self control goes...

Dr. Fung saved my life. I was doing Keto (poorly) and my blood sugar was out of control. I was told that I needed to start insulin and a sulfonurea to increase my endogenous insulin. Instead, I followed Dr. Fungus advice. Intermittent fasting OMAD and a few longer fasts later, my blood sugar is normal. My weight went from 274 pounds to 191.
So glad to see this comment. I’ve been doing keto but my blood sugar is still pretty high, in the higher 100s and I’m looking into doing fasting after watching these fasting videos. OMAD is doable for my lifestyle! Wish me luck 😊
It's interesting, the champions of keto swear by it in terms of blood work for type 2. Good to read that people are getting results just by eating less often. Seems too simple.
Hello from New Zealand. I had an issue with my knee and my physiotherapist said I need to loose weight. He told me about your videos and intermittent fasting. In the last 15 weeks I have gone from 122kg (269lbs) to 110kg (242lbs) by following your advice and exercising. Thank you so much for your fantastic, unbiased advice. I continue to loose weight and am feeling better every day. You are an inspiration. Again...thank you.
If this man ever ran a course at a University, I would sign up in a heartbeat. I could listen to him talk for hours because the way he conveys information is such a good quality that not many teachers have. I would be in it just for the learning and not the grade.
It completely worked for me. I have been a diabetic for almost 30 years. For most of that I’ve been on a lot of daily insulin. My BS were regularly over 300. About 6 months ago I started carnivore and intermittent fasting. First 16:8 then OMAD. Before I started my A1C was 11.5. 6 months later I’m off all insulin and my A1C is 6.5. My blood sugars are normally between 80 and 120. I’m down 80 lbs. Everything he says works.
He is so simple and gives us positive energy!My endocrinologist messed me up! Happy to state that I have reversed my Diabetes by low carbs, intermittent fasting and weekly 24 hours fasting
Thank you Doctor. I diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 months ago with hbA1C results 9. I immediately search on UA-cam and found your video. I practiced the intermittent fasting. Slowly from 12 hours to 20 hours increase 1-2 hours a week. After 4 months yesterday my A1C results is only 5.8. The results is awesome 👍. Surprised the doctor. Doctor just ask me to do the A1C test again 4 months later on May 2024 to make sure it's not rebound. To all those in doubt, my advice is why don't just give yourself a chance to try it out. If it doesn't work, you always can go back to what other doctor told you. (Trust me intermittent fasting 100% work as long it's type 2 diabetes )😊
That explanation of intermittent fasting was as clear and concise as it gets. Great presentation! I've been doing 18/6 for 5 years and it really works well. I even strength train at the end of my fast, all without any ill effects.
Excellent and rational advice from Dr. Fung, as always. He has saved my cousin's life. She was heading for obesity. I sent her several of Dr. Fung's videos. She decided to give IF a try. She has dropped 80 lbs since the beginning of the year. She does an 84-hr fast every month. She is nearly back to a healthy weight. I bet Dr. Fung has saved thousands and thousands of lives with his simple, practical, and easy to follow advice about IF.
Ramadhan terakhir 2023 saya di diagnosis Diabetes type 2. Bacaan HBA1c saya 9.2 . saya terus membuat carian informasi dan menjumpai channel youtube Dr.Jason Fung. Doctor saya di malaysia memberikan saranan untuk menurunkan HBA1c saya di bawah 6.5 Dalam waktu 3 bulan saya berjaya mencapai HBA1c 6.1 saya menantikan HBA1c pada 4 bulan seterusnya. semoga HBA1c saya menurun lagi. Terima kasih , banyak ilmu yang anda kongsikan Dr.Jason Fung.
Thank you Dr. Jason for being one of the very few doctors who are teaching patients how to reverse their diabetes. I've heard that UA-cam and their cronies are censoring your content, but thank you for staying strong and doing your job. Doctors are supposed to help patients become healthy and you are doing that by providing non-pharma options that actually work. I fast regularly and it has strengthened my immune system.
Following intermediate fasting 6 months ago my A1C was 7.2, two months ago it was 6.4, and got rechecked 3 days ago I'm 5.6 I'm not even pre-diabetic. I went from type 2 to pre-diabetic to regular level now! Thank you!
I listened to Dr. Fung's books "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetic Code" several times when commuting to and from work about 5 years ago and implemented his recommendations into my life. I was 195 pounds six years ago. I'm retired now and will be 70 years old in three months, and currently weigh around 165 pounds, fifteen pounds over my weight of 150 when I was 18 years old. I swim daily now for an hour and walk and hike frequently. I occasionally do a 48 or 72 hour fast, but now, my primary fasting routine is to skip breakfast, except for coffee and water and try to limit myself to just one nutritious midday meal of whole, natural home cooked meals. I am not always successful and occasional will fall off the wagon and eat something during the early evening, but I hold to the routine more often than not. I've eliminated almost all added sugar by avoiding processed food from the grocery store as much as possible, and absolutely avoid all the fast food hamburger and ice cream based fast food establishments you see alone the road everywhere. Sugar is so insidious, but it is true that you will learn to live without it the longer you stick to not eating it. I don't want to sound like a fanatic, but you really do have to go "cold turkey" with the sugar. The reality is that after a month or more of total avoidance of sucrose, a taste of the stuff in a soft drink, or other concentrated sucrose delivery system will actually be slightly nauseous. When you get to this point, it is a cakewalk to continue to eschew it. I do not eat snacks, but I do sip on black coffee or coffee with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream throughout the day, in addition to a tall glass of water every couple of hours. Now, I was never diagnosed with diabetes, or severe obesity for that matter, but I was severely overweight. Trying to jog or eat less was not resulting in any success as I got older, and this is why I made these changes. I do feel very good physically now, and am glad I started this lifestyle before I became severely obese.
After reading most (all) of your books, and more, I started fasting 36 hours every other day, beginning 2023 September 01. A bit later, I started 60 hour fasts every 3 days. I'm currently on a 6 day fast, ending tomorrow. As of this morning (2023 November 03, 2 months later), I've lost 32 lbs from 250, my body fat went from just under 30% to just over 25%, and my waist went from49.5" to 40.5". My A1C came down (before I started) from 8 to 6.5 (for most of this year), while taking 2.5 (max dose) Ozempic weekly, Forxiga, and 20-25 units of fast acting insulin 3x/day. I cut the Ozempic and Forxiga cold turkey, and weaned the insulin within a few weeks. At first, I would spike and drastically drop (crash) with even 10 units of insulin for one or two meals (2 meals a day for eating days), so I stopped insulin completely. This is the first time I was able to stay within range (3.9-10) blood glucose 100% of the time for many days at a time. However, lately (even day 5 of 6 day fast), it's been very difficult to keep blood glucose within range. Also, I occasionally use keto strips to monitor ketosis, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Granted, my fasting is not perfect (I eat a few nuts or chips once a day of fasting to to take with a couple meds. I expected to be in ketosis by day 2 of fasting easily, but it's not happening. Why might that be? Despite these 2 concerns (blood glucose levels, ketosis), I'm very happy with what I'm seeing and feeling.
Sounds great. Congratulations! What are you esting on your eating days? May be the reson you´re not in ketosis. Are you keeping your meals keto? It´s totally worth it. Even going carnivore coupled with fasting would help reverse diabetes even quicker.
@@_Pat_1111 Until now, eating days included bacon and eggs, protein drink, amino acid drink, maybe a salad, a "super foods" veggie powder drink, and high fat bran muffins. Starting tomorrow, I plan on temporarily ditching the salad and bacon and eggs. I'm hoping to be consistent in what I eat so I can better predict my weight loss. I do fasted workouts almost daily. Fluids include coffee/tea (no sweeteners), a trace mineral drink with a bit of flavoring from one of those tiny squeeze bottles. It seems to me that, even with the small amount of nuts/chips/crackers (just enough to swallow a few pills - I can't drink them down) would not be enough to maintain high blood glucose, especially on the 2nd day of a fast.
@@HunterChristianDarkmanI would rather you maintain the eggs, and salad and inculcate liver in your diet routine. Ideally vegetables should be chewed since it contains the fiber rather than in powder or blended. Add more fermented food to your diet and probiotic yogurt for your gut biome, stay healthy.
try keto coffee, my version is 1 cup of black coffee, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of whipping cream blend it up until frothy. Do not add sweetener. Helps dull the hunger depression.
@@DanielDuedu Thanks, I appreciate the advice. (I've never had a problem with gut bacteria, and when I tried probiotic anyway, I ended up with an upset stomach!)
Also because of Dr Fung I started with intermittent fasting.. as a result it kept me away from junk food during the fast. Then I eliminated sugar and carbs in addition to intermittent fasting. fasting got easier. finally I went meat based and it made fasting very easy.. I'm doing one full meal in a day or OMAD. And sometimes I do 3day fasting I don't schedule when to fast or when to break the fast. I use a stop watch to check how many hours since I had a meal. A stopwatch is very useful for me because when the cravings hit, the stopwatch tells me it is just a fake hunger. I also use a ketone breath meter it shows whether I'm fat burning or not.
Thank you Dr. Fung! Thank you! I had a new year's (2023) resolution to become type 2 diabetes free completely. I was inspired by your videos and started watching since December 2022. After doing fasting (16 hrs fasting a day, 8 hrs eating window) for 5 months, I did my blood work and went to my family doctor for consultation on results. My doctor was so surprised to see that I was completely out of diabetes. I lost 7 kg. She did not prescribe any more medicine. I used to take 3 tablets everyday. Currently I am doing 14 hrs of fasting and maintaining my body weight. So, thanks again! You have changed my life! BTW, I am a 52 yrs of old (he/him).
Yep. It's that easy. I'm an RN and I tell ALL my type 2 DM patients to do this (who in turn follow up with me). It works. I'm not diabetic but I've lost 40 lbs this year doing 2MAD.
I eat one meal a day, but I lack exercise. I need to exercise. I couldn't believe my numbers. I barely eat anything with carbs sometimes I do get a little sugar. But I think the exercise and burning off the energy is very important.
8:37 You're sharing that graph made all the difference to me 4 years ago. It is still a powerful reminder today as I successfully manage/maintain a healthy weight.
I feel my higher power led me to your channel yesterday. I am 37 years old. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in which my doctor told me absolutely NOTHING to actually better my condition and i was absolutely terrified!! I've been continuously sick and on antibiotics for the past 6 months straight and lost over 30 lb in the process yet my sugar was continuing to rise. I am not obese. I have never been obese. I did not consider myself to have a terrible diet until actually learning and realizing what the things they put in our food does to us I am a single mother with two young children. I honestly thought I was dying. I was so sick and could not get over it and was watching my body right in front of my eyes. Deteriorate with no medical professionals offering anything to cure the problem just treat all symptoms. I just want to thank you and may our higher power and universe watch over you and bless you for having the courage to speak out and speak up and help people live. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I couldn't thank you enough. I feel as if I have hope for the first time in a long time and that feels truly amazing. I will begin my fasting journey today and will update my results. Thank you so much. You are a true blessing
Thanks to Dr. Fung I lost 80 lbs over 8 months. I eventually got up to multi-week prolonged fasting. Twice I fasted for thirty days and have never felt better in my life. There are so many benefits. I have the freedom to eat when I want and not because I think I have to. I can play with my diet and always have a tool to reset and get back to where I’d like to be before I experiment again. I can buy nicer clothes because my weight will be stable for the rest of my life now that I know how to fast. Thank you Dr. Fung.
Good luck, 👍 I wish you well. This Dr is brilliant he’s saving people’s lives. Fasting sounds hard, but having diabetes is hard too. I love it when he said, fasting is cheap, no shopping no clean, up how good is that.
I have type 2 diabetes and intermediate fasting brought my A1C from 11 down to 6.0 to 6.3 consistently for over a year and my glucose from 250 down to the 120 to 130 range consistently for over a year. I have also lost 62 lb
I am so glad I found your channel. When I was younger (late teens/early 20's) I ate 1 meal a day because I wasn't hungry - I had insulin resistance but my weight although too heavy was stable and I had no other medical problems. Got married in my early 20's and ate 3 meals a day as that's what my husband did - then high bp, high cholesterol, PCOS was "discovered". Late 20's had my baby and again eat 3 meals a day as breast feeding - more weight piled on (it's postpartum weight don't worry about it). Then came metformin - higher and higher doses but not diabetic as fasting blood sugars were 5.8. Still piling on the weight despite calorie controlled diet - then I discovered Keto - amazing weight came off so easily but had a t-wave inversion - it's Keto that's done that I was told, so back to low fat and still the weight came on - fast forward to my late 30's - 1st attack of psoriatic arthritis, 1st attack of gallbladder problems, mental & physical breakdown in 2004 - 16 weeks on the nut ward - never really recovered so couldn't go back to work. 40's - you're diabetic and insulin resistant so upped the metformin - higher and higher doses of insulin (long term and short acting as well as Liraglutide). Emergency removal of gallbladder, 4 days in ITU. Early 50's emergency admission to hospital December - February of 2023 - put on a DNR and my daughter told to prepare to say goodbye to me. COVID, flu, pneumonia, COPD, AF, basically very sick lady. By the time I left hospital I had got the Drs to reverse my DNR, worked really hard with therapists and left hospital fairly well and convalesced at home - took me 6 months but back to my pre hospital fitness but I did it. Beginning of October 2023 there is a nationwide (England) shortage of liraglutide and that family of drugs - basically been told tough just put up with it. Blood sugars are regularly 20 - 25 overnight and during the day - blurred vision, fatigue just feeling not well. Up popped one of your lectures on UA-cam - well what can I say. Started my fasting journey about 2 weeks ago - just 2 x days of OMAD initially and blood sugars are OK sitting about 9 on OMAD days but still about 15 on 3 meals a day - still really good from where I was - no blurred vision and although still tired - feeling better. This week I am doing 3 days of OMAD and 4 days of 3 meals a day - blood sugars on OMAD days average about 8, 3 meals a day they are sitting at about 10 - much much better. Next week will be 4 OMAD days until I reach 7 days - that's my goal anyway. I would like to do this with my Endocrinologist's support (I am getting blood work done next week) but not sure how to introduce the subject - do I just write to him and just give him your channel and say go watch ? Do I just wait until I see him in December and say - hey see what I've managed to do ? Any help or guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. So, so glad I found your channel, it really is changing my health. Not weighed yet as that's not a priority for me (although important) - I will weigh after 4 weeks and then every 4 weeks afterwards.
@samjones9465 - Dr. David Unwin (and his wife, Dr. Jen Unwin) are in Southport, England. There are many UA-cam videos about them. Their patients have done so well with their recommendations (low carb, fasting) and no longer have Diabetes. Here is some information from Diet Doctor about him: He is "known for pioneering the low-carb approach in the UK. ...In 2015, he was made a UK Royal College of General Practitioners expert clinical advisor for his dedicated efforts within the areas of patient communication and type 2 diabetes.... From 2017 to 2018, his practice saved 57,000 pounds on drugs for type 2 diabetes. hypertension, and other conditions by offering patients a dietary alternative to medications... Dr. Unwin's work has been covered by BBC, New Scientist, Daily Mail, and The British Medical Journal". Perhaps Dr. Unwin's practice can recommend an Endocrinologist if your present Endocrinologist is not on board. Hope this helps.

When you went low-fat, that doesn't mean high-junk is ok. You were clearly eating a crappy diet. The answer is not gonna be found here with Dr Bacon. But I agree with fasting. But you also need food that are easy on your system that provide high vitamins, not a bunch of fat and protein. Go high-fruit, potatoes & vegetables.
I reversed my type two with a healthy diet intermittent fasting 16 hours daily and exercise two hours daily. My A1C is 4.8 and 5 sometimes never go up.Thank you Dr. Jason 👏👏
ramzan is good for fasting 30 days fasting ur entire body become relex and rest during fast and dibaties reverse also proud to be muslim MASHALLAH SUBAHANALLAH ❤MUHAMMAD PBUH we love you ❤
As.a muslim with diabetes, i have to fast during the entire month of ramdan. 30 days of no water and no food from sunrise to sunset. I felt great great on no medication.
I read the Obesity Code, the Diabetes Code, have been listening to almost all podcasts and interviews with dr Jason Fung and can't get enough... Let his wisdom spread.
Greatly appreciate all of your videos .. right amount of time for a lecture .. 15m not like others that go for hours .. keep up the great work DR.. FUNG
I had an appointment with my doctor a month ago. He came running in the room with - “I’ve got great news” !!! He said I no longer have type 2 diabetes & I was his first patient that cured my illness by stopping all (7) medications. I just cut out all carbs & sugars. I do fast often. My a1c went from 14 to 7.
I don’t know why my doctor still says I have diabetes when I got mine down low like that as well. She repeats the mantra that once a diabetic always a diabetic. I don’t consider myself a diabetic anymore but I’m now known by all my doctors as diabetic- biggest regret I have is not losing weight and fasting before I crossed that line.
My a1c is 5.6 and my doctor just filed my results without calling me. The reception said to continue taking my metformin wow. Thank-you Dr. Fung for all your videos
I do NOT like to fast as I enjoy food. However, the benefits of fasting to help the body are undeniable. So I partake in a 36 hour fast every week or two with no issues. The rest of the time I eat at 12 noon and dinner at 6pm so an intermittent fast in reality. No snacking. This has worked wonders along with a Ketovore diet with heavy emphasis on meats and carbs under 20 a day. Feeling great and I am at the same weight as 30 years ago.
Worked for my husband. An A1C of 10 at the start to 5 in less than a year. He's been backed off most of his meds. I think he takes one or two Metformin.
I went from 34 inches to 28 inches in 3 months doing IF, I love the flexibility as I really like to FEAST every now and then :D , really appreciate people like Dr. Fung who makes it so simple to understand.
I started fasting 6 months ago, my A1C dropped from 8.0 to 6.0 in 3 months. I'm going in for a checkup this week, I'm crossing my fingers there will be more improvement.
My ex has T2D and her doctor gives her insulin. I often wonder why her medication is increasing every visit to the doctor. She's a nurse and just follows the doctors instructions even though she is aware of her insulin resistance.
Had a lap band, had to have it out, complications. 3 small 1 cup size meals a day. 6 years of hell. Sick all the time. Nausea every second of the day. GERD so bad that a specialist told me I was going to get throat cancer if I didn't have it out. IF OMD. Losing weight. Bipolar, Fybromyalga, Thyroid problems so much better I'm enjoying life again. All these studies that say it's bad for you are paid by companies that produce food for excessive consumption. I wish I knew about Intermittent Fasting back in 2012 before I had the Laproscopic Band and had to have it out 2018. I cant believe I feel so good even with my mental and health issues. Thanks Dr Fung for improving my life. Keep spreading the science and message
Hey Dr Fung, MD here, God bless you, your take on the science and expanding our knowledge and horizons is absolutely great, correct, and of utmost importance - thank you
I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t come across the 2 Keto Dudes podcast, which led me to Dr Fung, Dr Berg and others. What a relief to be told, with research and experience to back it up, that you don’t HAVE to have type 2 diabetes. That perhaps you can prevent horrific diseases like Alzheimers and cancer. These lectures and videos fill me with hope. Thank you thank you Dr Fung 🙏 🙏
Thank you Dr J Fung for touching many lives. Learnt a lot from listening and watching your videos. God Bless you. My A1C 6.9 and after 5 months dropped to 5.7 ❤
As a kid, I found eating a chore. As an adult, I ate healthy but sparingly. Now I am learning that without knowing I was intermitting fasting. No wonder I have always maintained a healthy weight and body.
Dr Jason’s book explains it all.My Doctor didn’t have the time or inclination to tell me about intermittent fasting.Wanted to sell me metformin Thank You Dr Fung - your advice works
Jason once told us that a 7 or 8 year old kid told him when asked “ How would you do it to lose weight?” the kid replied “ just don’t eat!” And that’s when he realized that fasting is simply not eating! ✌🏼😎👍🏼
I'm a 72 year old woman and not diabetic, but I was wondering what the daily macros should be when intermittent fasting? Right now I'm following 40-30-30 macros and 1100 calories a day. I'm also weight training. People think I'm in my fifties. I've just started fasting. 5pm-12pm
I started doing I F for almost a month is working like a charm my fasting glucose levels in the morning were 275 to 325 even with insulin they were always high now after a month they are 140 to 155 and im feeling better do t get me wrong in the beginning was hard always hungry at night. Thant you Jason they should give you the novel prize

Have you did a video about ppl with hypothyroidism and fasting ❓
Sir, unrelated to your video but is there a difference between chewing your food from just making it into a drinkable one. Let’s say blueberries, I mix it with kefir or yoghurt blend it then drink. I’m wondering if saliva has anything to do with it. I’m not a health expert, just a normal person who lost weight thanks to your fasting videos.
Jason I know you’re busy a reply would be awesome in my situation.
I’m 30 m.
I went doctor I had bloods done fasting level 9.2 and hba1c was 5.5
So doctor ordered a gtt test
5.1 fasting at 1 hr 6.2 at 2 hrs 5.2
He recommended to come back in 3 months and test again I’m not sure if this is diabetes or not.
I brought a test kick finger prick and following my sugar levels.
Last 3 days 5.3 5.5 . 5.8
I’ve changed my diet lost 7 kg and stopped alcohol consumption also. 7 weeks no drink.
Can diabetics fast for more than 24 hours? I came to know that diabetics fasting for 24 hours or more could be dangerous because of the risk of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis risks
Hi Dr Fung, I'm so new to your channel, I find it very interesting and I want to learn, know and fix my condition, without any more meds, I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and recently found out that I'm pre diabetic! Smh but I'm strong and I'm not going to be diabetic with you and God on my side I know I can beat this and get off all meds, Are you here to help me yes or no ?? Lol
All I hear in my diabetes group is you should eat 4 - 6 small meals and eat to keep your blood sugar level. Which of course keeps insulin active in the body. I managed to reverse mine in three months completely doing one meal a day. It's crazy what these doctors, dietitians and quite frankly the American Diabetes Association is telling Type 2 diabetics.
Congratulations! All lies to keep you sick, very very sad!
The medical profession is like the tobacco industry … they want you hooked on their meds , surgeries and treatments and not about healing
@@gcs7817I don't even think it's that. What kickbacks does a dietitian get? I think they are just just too damn lazy to keep up with new treatments and discoveries.
@@rhiahlMT
Guess who visits a dieticians office or a hospital that employs dieticians ? Pharma reps who bring catered food and branded office supplies. And free drug samples …
If a patient got healthy , they’d no longer need the services of a dietician
The 6 small meals philosophy was what I was told back in the 80’s. It’s what was believed to be best. The great thing about fasting, especially one meal a day, is that it basically doesn’t matter what you eat for that meal. You don’t have to worry about what you can and can’t have. Give yourself a time limit, usually 1 to 2 hours, to eat what you want then shut off the intake until 22 or so hours later. This is literally life changing.
❤❤❤Dr Fung should have received a standing 10 minute ovation with flowers being thrown at him at the start of his lecture! He has saved thousands of people from amputation, blindness and a slow agonising death.❤❤❤
Yes!
How lame was that applause at the beginning?!!
He deserves a huge welcome!
@planetina5616 I'm always amazed at how he has gone against the rest of the medical community and is actually curing diabetes. The others are cowards and in it for the money. My own doctor is stunningly ignorant and the specialist she sent me to tried to get me on 3 more meds. Had nothing to help lose weight. It's as if they don't know what causes diabetes. SMH
We are fortunate to live among a giant in the arena of intermittent fasting medicine
What about Nobel Prize for these group of Chinese doctors who may have found a permament cure to DM?
From SCMP news (27 May 2024)
In world first, Chinese scientists report cell therapy cure in diabetes case
A 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes who needed multiple insulin injections daily was given an innovative cell transplant
He has now been insulin-free for 33 months and is not on any other medication, giving hope to other diabetes sufferers
For patients battling diabetes, a group of Chinese scientists and clinicians may offer a glimmer of hope. For the first time in the world, a patient’s diabetes has reportedly been cured using cell therapy.
The patient, a 59-year-old man who had been living with type 2 diabetes for 25 years, was at serious risk of complications from the disease. He had a kidney transplant in 2017, but had lost most of his pancreatic islet function which controls blood glucose levels, and relied on multiple insulin injections every day.
I followed his advice of fasting for more than a year and the results are amazing. I lost the extra lbs and completely reversed the diabetes I had recently diagnosed with. Now after two years, two meals a day + an hour walk a day solved all my health issues. I am healthy now but I will follow his advice for the most part of my life.
That is fantastic. I would like to do the same thing.
Dr Fung has changed my life, I follow his advice and lost 50 pounds since doing intermittent fasting. I started in April and my health has never been better. I’m off my blood pressure medication and my glucose has returned to normal. I’m so grateful that I have found his UA-cam channel. Thank you Dr Fung
So happy for you ☺️🙏!
Nice. Are you doing keto along with your fasting?
What is your FBS usually when you wake up ?
Dr. Jason Fung has saved my life. I was diagnosed with diabetes two last year two days later I found out about Dr. Jason Fung and I started intermittent fasting within six months I remove diabetes two from my life. They wanted me to be on prescription drugs I opted for fasting and paying attention to what Dr. Jason Fung said, and it healed my body, so thank you Dr. Jason Fung you're my hero.
Well done!
I hope I found him 20yrs ago after I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes in 2004
I have my fasting blood glucose at 7.8moll at times is 8.1moll doctors suggested I take treatment and I refused I'm not taking sugar with my tea I sometimes take a teaspoon of honey I'm not big I weigh 68kg can you please advise last year January I fasted for 21 days 6am to 6pm and after 21 days of fasting I checked my blood glucose was very low 2.9moll
Sounds to me like what really happened was you hadn't listened to your medical specialists, then lost weight while fasting, reducing your adipose tissue and thus insulin resistance. Nicola Guess and Nutrition Made Simple are better than Fung. I don't listen to anybody else their information isn't good enough. For example, Dr. Stanfield says there's no benefit to IF beyond caloric restriction. But, if this method works for you, that's all that matters
@@joycekekana1186, Instead of honey, try NOW Monk Fruit it has no affect on your blood sugar levels at all. I use it in my tea and coffee and when making low carb treats which I have once in a while.
I can't afford any meds or doctors, so I started intermittent fasting 2 months ago and all my type-2 symptoms are gone.
Down 4 holes in my waist belt and my cost of living is next to nothing, less trips to the store etc etc.
Only took me 2 years to finally try it LOL, thanks Jason.
I do 16hr + 24 hour mix, eat lunch and dinner, then only dinner some days. 36hr becomes easy but the 48 is kicking my ass.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Amazing, big congrats. You're only missing a bunch of problems by skipping Doctors and meds!
Thanks so much, Its a 4hr wait to see a doctor for 20 seconds, he is printing out prescriptions before I finish my sentence😖
@mtbalot That only confirms that you're now on the right path! 4 hours for 20 seconds Dr. Seems so crazy, the only reason folks put up with must be out of desperation. It's a bit better here in Canada, but I'd still avoid the med system if at all possible. All best wishes to you!
Thanks Ian, you know the BEST thing about fasting? No washing Bludy dishes🤣
This dr is everything when it’s about diabetes and fasting. He has absolute clarity on these subjects.
amen! Dr. Fung is a hero for diabetes care. Excellent information that is easy to understand.
Sugar MD is also good source.
@@susieinthecountry4434 I totally agree, Dr Fung is the best!
No. diabetes is just a matter of: fat takes 3 days to leave the blood. And too much fat in the bloodstream causing blood sugar to resist insulin
i see no clarity i dont count calories? huh?
Love Dr. Fung! I'm 60 and I've lost 160 by reading his books and watching his videos and lectures. It reversed ALL my health issues. I'm maintaining great and love my fasting lifestyle 🥰. Thanks for all you do 🙏☺️
I agree Dr Fung has also changed my life. I followed his advice and it has worked for me. Lost 50 pounds since April and will continue to follow his advice and intermittent fasting. Thank you Dr Fung
Yes, I agree! Started Low carb for 3 mths & IF for about 4 mths now.
I am off all medications for diabetes, now continuing OMAD & planning to slowly ease into Extended Fasting to maximise Autophagy to reverse multiple diabetic complications I developed due to 24 yrs of misled T2 treatment.

I was wondering how you did it ? Were you on a carb diet like Atkins ? You can eat eggs meat fish fat wasn’t an issue . Or were you counting calories I’m 67
@@tammyginczycki-vh5do Hi! I got rid of ALL refined carbs and sugars. Just ate real food. I upped my natural, saturated fats that are more filling.
Please read Dr. Fung's book The Obesity Code. It explains why we get fat. Also watch his videos and lectures.
You can see my story on The Magic of Fasting UA-cam channel 😃👍. Good luck and be well 😊
my wife reversed type II diabetes and I reversed high blood pressure though healthy eating and interment fasting. Thank you so much Doctor Fung!!
great 👍
Hello, what you have been taken? What types of food during the fasting period? Kindly share with me. I have had type 2 diabetes for almost 3 years. We are Muslims and this is fasting month, I fast but I couldn't reverse it. If you kindly share your diet and types of food you were taken during the fasting period. I would appreciate it!
Did your wife Reverse it permanently???
reversed my T2D from 7.6 to 5….fasting insulin from 20 to 3…lost 70lbs, feeling amazing 👍🏼
That's impressive, well done. I wish UA-cam had taught me this 50 years ago LOL.
To be fair, 7.6 to 5 doesn’t really sound like a hard job. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I start at 9 and spike to 15-18 and get to 7 or 8 at best…?
Is it possible to have carbohydrates diet after remission?
@@rraval6963 I'm currently in the same boat, more or less. I'm currently on 2 1/2 days without eating (I was ill over the weekend & not hungry), and whilst the scale says I lost 5kgs, my blood sugars are still around 7.5-8 (mmol/l, the UK measure).
The key to permanently lower blood sugar is weight loss: I've previously done "The Newcastle Diet" - 8 weeks of severely calorie restricted eating, after which I was about 10kg lighter, and - for a while - was technically back to being pre-diabetic. However, unfortunately I let the good work go to waste (waist?) and put the lbs back on, and here we are. Going to try IF properly now, probably OMAD with maybe a 36-48hr fast every few days, depending on how my self control goes...
@@rraval6963I think @0331usmc32 meant the HbA1c dropped from 7,6 to 5. Did you by any chance mean your glucose levels in mmol/l ?
Dr. Jason Fung is a true man of medicine. If only people understood the power of fasting, the world would be a much healthier place.
And a happier place as well…

Dr. Fung saved my life. I was doing Keto (poorly) and my blood sugar was out of control. I was told that I needed to start insulin and a sulfonurea to increase my endogenous insulin. Instead, I followed Dr. Fungus advice. Intermittent fasting OMAD and a few longer fasts later, my blood sugar is normal. My weight went from 274 pounds to 191.
So glad to see this comment. I’ve been doing keto but my blood sugar is still pretty high, in the higher 100s and I’m looking into doing fasting after watching these fasting videos. OMAD is doable for my lifestyle! Wish me luck 😊
It's interesting, the champions of keto swear by it in terms of blood work for type 2. Good to read that people are getting results just by eating less often. Seems too simple.
Hello from New Zealand. I had an issue with my knee and my physiotherapist said I need to loose weight. He told me about your videos and intermittent fasting. In the last 15 weeks I have gone from 122kg (269lbs) to 110kg (242lbs) by following your advice and exercising. Thank you so much for your fantastic, unbiased advice. I continue to loose weight and am feeling better every day. You are an inspiration. Again...thank you.
If this man ever ran a course at a University, I would sign up in a heartbeat. I could listen to him talk for hours because the way he conveys information is such a good quality that not many teachers have. I would be in it just for the learning and not the grade.
I agree! Jason Fung should be awarded An Order Of Canada medal!
It completely worked for me. I have been a diabetic for almost 30 years. For most of that I’ve been on a lot of daily insulin. My BS were regularly over 300. About 6 months ago I started carnivore and intermittent fasting. First 16:8 then OMAD. Before I started my A1C was 11.5. 6 months later I’m off all insulin and my A1C is 6.5. My blood sugars are normally between 80 and 120. I’m down 80 lbs. Everything he says works.
6.5 still makes you a diabetic. Your work is not done yet.

He is so simple and gives us positive energy!My endocrinologist messed me up! Happy to state that I have reversed my Diabetes by low carbs, intermittent fasting and weekly 24 hours fasting
Thank you Doctor. I diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 months ago with hbA1C results 9.
I immediately search on UA-cam and found your video. I practiced the intermittent fasting. Slowly from 12 hours to 20 hours increase 1-2 hours a week. After 4 months yesterday my A1C results is only 5.8.
The results is awesome 👍. Surprised the doctor. Doctor just ask me to do the A1C test again 4 months later on May 2024 to make sure it's not rebound.
To all those in doubt, my advice is why don't just give yourself a chance to try it out. If it doesn't work, you always can go back to what other doctor told you. (Trust me intermittent fasting 100% work as long it's type 2 diabetes )😊
diabetes is actually precursor to kidney disease, renal failure ( domino effect ).., thus “iF” , low carb, no junk diet is preventive👍
Thank you, but what about type 1 diabetes?
Question, when did you fast and what did you eat
@@marianjogela7267type 1 is different because there is no insulin in the body. Type 2 is too much insulin... just the opposite
When you know better, you do better. Doctors included. Thank you, Dr. Fung, for continuing to share this information.
That explanation of intermittent fasting was as clear and concise as it gets. Great presentation! I've been doing 18/6 for 5 years and it really works well. I even strength train at the end of my fast, all without any ill effects.
Nice ! 👌
18:6, 20:4 “iF” makes workouts efficient👍
Excellent and rational advice from Dr. Fung, as always. He has saved my cousin's life. She was heading for obesity. I sent her several of Dr. Fung's videos. She decided to give IF a try. She has dropped 80 lbs since the beginning of the year. She does an 84-hr fast every month. She is nearly back to a healthy weight. I bet Dr. Fung has saved thousands and thousands of lives with his simple, practical, and easy to follow advice about IF.
Dr. Fung is a true legend and very honest Physician
I our religion as a muslim we always been encourage to fast twice a week beside fasting during the month of ramadan. m
I believe fasting saved my life! Dr. Fung is my hero 😊❤
Ramadhan terakhir 2023 saya di diagnosis Diabetes type 2. Bacaan HBA1c saya 9.2 . saya terus membuat carian informasi dan menjumpai channel youtube Dr.Jason Fung. Doctor saya di malaysia memberikan saranan untuk menurunkan HBA1c saya di bawah 6.5
Dalam waktu 3 bulan saya berjaya mencapai HBA1c 6.1
saya menantikan HBA1c pada 4 bulan seterusnya. semoga HBA1c saya menurun lagi.
Terima kasih , banyak ilmu yang anda kongsikan Dr.Jason Fung.
Thank you Dr. Jason for being one of the very few doctors who are teaching patients how to reverse their diabetes. I've heard that UA-cam and their cronies are censoring your content, but thank you for staying strong and doing your job. Doctors are supposed to help patients become healthy and you are doing that by providing non-pharma options that actually work. I fast regularly and it has strengthened my immune system.
Wow+
Following intermediate fasting 6 months ago my A1C was 7.2, two months ago it was 6.4, and got rechecked 3 days ago I'm 5.6 I'm not even pre-diabetic. I went from type 2 to pre-diabetic to regular level now! Thank you!
I listened to Dr. Fung's books "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetic Code" several times when commuting to and from work about 5 years ago and implemented his recommendations into my life. I was 195 pounds six years ago. I'm retired now and will be 70 years old in three months, and currently weigh around 165 pounds, fifteen pounds over my weight of 150 when I was 18 years old. I swim daily now for an hour and walk and hike frequently. I occasionally do a 48 or 72 hour fast, but now, my primary fasting routine is to skip breakfast, except for coffee and water and try to limit myself to just one nutritious midday meal of whole, natural home cooked meals. I am not always successful and occasional will fall off the wagon and eat something during the early evening, but I hold to the routine more often than not. I've eliminated almost all added sugar by avoiding processed food from the grocery store as much as possible, and absolutely avoid all the fast food hamburger and ice cream based fast food establishments you see alone the road everywhere. Sugar is so insidious, but it is true that you will learn to live without it the longer you stick to not eating it.
I don't want to sound like a fanatic, but you really do have to go "cold turkey" with the sugar. The reality is that after a month or more of total avoidance of sucrose, a taste of the stuff in a soft drink, or other concentrated sucrose delivery system will actually be slightly nauseous. When you get to this point, it is a cakewalk to continue to eschew it.
I do not eat snacks, but I do sip on black coffee or coffee with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream throughout the day, in addition to a tall glass of water every couple of hours.
Now, I was never diagnosed with diabetes, or severe obesity for that matter, but I was severely overweight. Trying to jog or eat less was not resulting in any success as I got older, and this is why I made these changes. I do feel very good physically now, and am glad I started this lifestyle before I became severely obese.
After reading most (all) of your books, and more, I started fasting 36 hours every other day, beginning 2023 September 01. A bit later, I started 60 hour fasts every 3 days. I'm currently on a 6 day fast, ending tomorrow. As of this morning (2023 November 03, 2 months later), I've lost 32 lbs from 250, my body fat went from just under 30% to just over 25%, and my waist went from49.5" to 40.5". My A1C came down (before I started) from 8 to 6.5 (for most of this year), while taking 2.5 (max dose) Ozempic weekly, Forxiga, and 20-25 units of fast acting insulin 3x/day. I cut the Ozempic and Forxiga cold turkey, and weaned the insulin within a few weeks. At first, I would spike and drastically drop (crash) with even 10 units of insulin for one or two meals (2 meals a day for eating days), so I stopped insulin completely. This is the first time I was able to stay within range (3.9-10) blood glucose 100% of the time for many days at a time. However, lately (even day 5 of 6 day fast), it's been very difficult to keep blood glucose within range. Also, I occasionally use keto strips to monitor ketosis, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Granted, my fasting is not perfect (I eat a few nuts or chips once a day of fasting to to take with a couple meds. I expected to be in ketosis by day 2 of fasting easily, but it's not happening. Why might that be? Despite these 2 concerns (blood glucose levels, ketosis), I'm very happy with what I'm seeing and feeling.
Sounds great. Congratulations! What are you esting on your eating days? May be the reson you´re not in ketosis. Are you keeping your meals keto? It´s totally worth it. Even going carnivore coupled with fasting would help reverse diabetes even quicker.
@@_Pat_1111 Until now, eating days included bacon and eggs, protein drink, amino acid drink, maybe a salad, a "super foods" veggie powder drink, and high fat bran muffins. Starting tomorrow, I plan on temporarily ditching the salad and bacon and eggs. I'm hoping to be consistent in what I eat so I can better predict my weight loss. I do fasted workouts almost daily. Fluids include coffee/tea (no sweeteners), a trace mineral drink with a bit of flavoring from one of those tiny squeeze bottles. It seems to me that, even with the small amount of nuts/chips/crackers (just enough to swallow a few pills - I can't drink them down) would not be enough to maintain high blood glucose, especially on the 2nd day of a fast.
@@HunterChristianDarkmanI would rather you maintain the eggs, and salad and inculcate liver in your diet routine. Ideally vegetables should be chewed since it contains the fiber rather than in powder or blended. Add more fermented food to your diet and probiotic yogurt for your gut biome, stay healthy.
try keto coffee, my version is 1 cup of black coffee, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of whipping cream blend it up until frothy. Do not add sweetener. Helps dull the hunger depression.
@@DanielDuedu Thanks, I appreciate the advice. (I've never had a problem with gut bacteria, and when I tried probiotic anyway, I ended up with an upset stomach!)
Also because of Dr Fung I started with intermittent fasting.. as a result it kept me away from junk food during the fast. Then I eliminated sugar and carbs in addition to intermittent fasting. fasting got easier. finally I went meat based and it made fasting very easy.. I'm doing one full meal in a day or OMAD. And sometimes I do 3day fasting
I don't schedule when to fast or when to break the fast. I use a stop watch to check how many hours since I had a meal.
A stopwatch is very useful for me because when the cravings hit, the stopwatch tells me it is just a fake hunger. I also use a ketone breath meter it shows whether I'm fat burning or not.
Yeah, I can go on a complete fasts for days now, with no food and no drinks. I just completed a 50-hour fast. I'm aiming to get 6-pack abs. 😂
Thank you Dr. Fung! Thank you! I had a new year's (2023) resolution to become type 2 diabetes free completely. I was inspired by your videos and started watching since December 2022. After doing fasting (16 hrs fasting a day, 8 hrs eating window) for 5 months, I did my blood work and went to my family doctor for consultation on results. My doctor was so surprised to see that I was completely out of diabetes. I lost 7 kg. She did not prescribe any more medicine. I used to take 3 tablets everyday. Currently I am doing 14 hrs of fasting and maintaining my body weight. So, thanks again! You have changed my life! BTW, I am a 52 yrs of old (he/him).
Yep. It's that easy. I'm an RN and I tell ALL my type 2 DM patients to do this (who in turn follow up with me). It works. I'm not diabetic but I've lost 40 lbs this year doing 2MAD.
What is 2mad?
@jessicamarquez702 2 meals a day. I do 18:6 which means I fast for 18 hrs and then eat my 2 meals a day within a 6 hr feeding window. NO SNACKS.
I eat one meal a day, but I lack exercise. I need to exercise. I couldn't believe my numbers. I barely eat anything with carbs sometimes I do get a little sugar. But I think the exercise and burning off the energy is very important.
I owe you my 30 lbs weight loss, thank you so much Dr. Jason Fung. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
8:37 You're sharing that graph made all the difference to me 4 years ago. It is still a powerful reminder today as I successfully manage/maintain a healthy weight.
Dr. Jason Fung fasting to reverse diabetes is an eye opener for me. It worked out. Thanks for being genuine and sharing this knowledge and truth.
I feel my higher power led me to your channel yesterday. I am 37 years old. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in which my doctor told me absolutely NOTHING to actually better my condition and i was absolutely terrified!! I've been continuously sick and on antibiotics for the past 6 months straight and lost over 30 lb in the process yet my sugar was continuing to rise. I am not obese. I have never been obese. I did not consider myself to have a terrible diet until actually learning and realizing what the things they put in our food does to us I am a single mother with two young children. I honestly thought I was dying. I was so sick and could not get over it and was watching my body right in front of my eyes. Deteriorate with no medical professionals offering anything to cure the problem just treat all symptoms. I just want to thank you and may our higher power and universe watch over you and bless you for having the courage to speak out and speak up and help people live. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I couldn't thank you enough. I feel as if I have hope for the first time in a long time and that feels truly amazing. I will begin my fasting journey today and will update my results. Thank you so much. You are a true blessing

Thanks to Dr. Fung I lost 80 lbs over 8 months. I eventually got up to multi-week prolonged fasting. Twice I fasted for thirty days and have never felt better in my life. There are so many benefits. I have the freedom to eat when I want and not because I think I have to. I can play with my diet and always have a tool to reset and get back to where I’d like to be before I experiment again. I can buy nicer clothes because my weight will be stable for the rest of my life now that I know how to fast. Thank you Dr. Fung.

Good luck, 👍 I wish you well. This Dr is brilliant he’s saving people’s lives. Fasting sounds hard, but having diabetes is hard too. I love it when he said, fasting is cheap, no shopping no clean, up how good is that.
I have type 2 diabetes and intermediate fasting brought my A1C from 11 down to 6.0 to 6.3 consistently for over a year and my glucose from 250 down to the 120 to 130 range consistently for over a year. I have also lost 62 lb
Dr. Fung is the real deal, the nerd of doctors on this topic. If your algo brought this video up, you should like, subscribe and binge his content.

I am so glad I found your channel. When I was younger (late teens/early 20's) I ate 1 meal a day because I wasn't hungry - I had insulin resistance but my weight although too heavy was stable and I had no other medical problems. Got married in my early 20's and ate 3 meals a day as that's what my husband did - then high bp, high cholesterol, PCOS was "discovered". Late 20's had my baby and again eat 3 meals a day as breast feeding - more weight piled on (it's postpartum weight don't worry about it). Then came metformin - higher and higher doses but not diabetic as fasting blood sugars were 5.8. Still piling on the weight despite calorie controlled diet - then I discovered Keto - amazing weight came off so easily but had a t-wave inversion - it's Keto that's done that I was told, so back to low fat and still the weight came on - fast forward to my late 30's - 1st attack of psoriatic arthritis, 1st attack of gallbladder problems, mental & physical breakdown in 2004 - 16 weeks on the nut ward - never really recovered so couldn't go back to work. 40's - you're diabetic and insulin resistant so upped the metformin - higher and higher doses of insulin (long term and short acting as well as Liraglutide). Emergency removal of gallbladder, 4 days in ITU. Early 50's emergency admission to hospital December - February of 2023 - put on a DNR and my daughter told to prepare to say goodbye to me. COVID, flu, pneumonia, COPD, AF, basically very sick lady. By the time I left hospital I had got the Drs to reverse my DNR, worked really hard with therapists and left hospital fairly well and convalesced at home - took me 6 months but back to my pre hospital fitness but I did it. Beginning of October 2023 there is a nationwide (England) shortage of liraglutide and that family of drugs - basically been told tough just put up with it. Blood sugars are regularly 20 - 25 overnight and during the day - blurred vision, fatigue just feeling not well. Up popped one of your lectures on UA-cam - well what can I say. Started my fasting journey about 2 weeks ago - just 2 x days of OMAD initially and blood sugars are OK sitting about 9 on OMAD days but still about 15 on 3 meals a day - still really good from where I was - no blurred vision and although still tired - feeling better. This week I am doing 3 days of OMAD and 4 days of 3 meals a day - blood sugars on OMAD days average about 8, 3 meals a day they are sitting at about 10 - much much better. Next week will be 4 OMAD days until I reach 7 days - that's my goal anyway. I would like to do this with my Endocrinologist's support (I am getting blood work done next week) but not sure how to introduce the subject - do I just write to him and just give him your channel and say go watch ? Do I just wait until I see him in December and say - hey see what I've managed to do ? Any help or guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. So, so glad I found your channel, it really is changing my health. Not weighed yet as that's not a priority for me (although important) - I will weigh after 4 weeks and then every 4 weeks afterwards.
Wow! What a journey you've had! Good luck as you heal!
Thank you so much@@deliapfenninger4285
@samjones9465 - Dr. David Unwin (and his wife, Dr. Jen Unwin) are in Southport, England. There are many UA-cam videos about them. Their patients have done so well with their recommendations (low carb, fasting) and no longer have Diabetes. Here is some information from Diet Doctor about him: He is "known for pioneering the low-carb approach in the UK. ...In 2015, he was made a UK Royal College of General Practitioners expert clinical advisor for his dedicated efforts within the areas of patient communication and type 2 diabetes.... From 2017 to 2018, his practice saved 57,000 pounds on drugs for type 2 diabetes. hypertension, and other conditions by offering patients a dietary alternative to medications... Dr. Unwin's work has been covered by BBC, New Scientist, Daily Mail, and The British Medical Journal". Perhaps Dr. Unwin's practice can recommend an Endocrinologist if your present Endocrinologist is not on board. Hope this helps.

When you went low-fat, that doesn't mean high-junk is ok. You were clearly eating a crappy diet. The answer is not gonna be found here with Dr Bacon. But I agree with fasting. But you also need food that are easy on your system that provide high vitamins, not a bunch of fat and protein. Go high-fruit, potatoes & vegetables.
I reversed my type two with a healthy diet intermittent fasting 16 hours daily and exercise two hours daily. My A1C is 4.8 and 5 sometimes never go up.Thank you Dr. Jason 👏👏
What was your diet??
Are you able to eat carbs now without spiking
ramzan is good for fasting 30 days fasting ur entire body become relex and rest during fast and dibaties reverse also proud to be muslim MASHALLAH SUBAHANALLAH ❤MUHAMMAD PBUH we love you ❤
As.a muslim with diabetes, i have to fast during the entire month of ramdan. 30 days of no water and no food from sunrise to sunset. I felt great great on no medication.
• I did a 5-day fast - twice. Interesting experience. Very therapeutic 😌
I love five day fasts.
I read the Obesity Code, the Diabetes Code, have been listening to almost all podcasts and interviews with dr Jason Fung and can't get enough... Let his wisdom spread.
Greatly appreciate all of your videos .. right amount of time for a lecture .. 15m not like others that go for hours .. keep up the great work DR.. FUNG
I just finished day 4, feel great, super high energy, been up from 4am to 10pm, worked a full day, feel great still.
I share your videos with anyone who will listen. Thanks for all you do.
I don’t share any videos with my closed-minded overweight diabetic family member
@@NotReal20245 those are the people that need this kind of video the most.
The world needs more doctors like you, doctor - who really want to do good for their patients.
He articulated his presentations very well.
I had an appointment with my doctor a month ago. He came running in the room with - “I’ve got great news” !!!
He said I no longer have type 2 diabetes & I was his first patient that cured my illness by stopping all (7) medications.
I just cut out all carbs & sugars. I do fast often. My a1c went from 14 to 7.
I don’t know why my doctor still says I have diabetes when I got mine down low like that as well. She repeats the mantra that once a diabetic always a diabetic. I don’t consider myself a diabetic anymore but I’m now known by all my doctors as diabetic- biggest regret I have is not losing weight and fasting before I crossed that line.
@@d2d2d28change doctor
My a1c is 5.6 and my doctor just filed my results without calling me. The reception said to continue taking my metformin wow.
Thank-you Dr. Fung for all your videos
Love you Dr. Jason Fung. You changed my life and I tell everyone about you. Amazing man and I appreciate you, thank you.
Dr fung disserve noble award for reversing diabetes by intermittent fasting practice ..best wishes , lots of love from chennai India.
Fasting means less entropy production. It means the first step to longevity.
The BEST & MOST LOGICAL explanation ever!
dr, Fung is doing great. More power to you. Keep the good work up!
I do NOT like to fast as I enjoy food. However, the benefits of fasting to help the body are undeniable. So I partake in a 36 hour fast every week or two with no issues. The rest of the time I eat at 12 noon and dinner at 6pm so an intermittent fast in reality. No snacking. This has worked wonders along with a Ketovore diet with heavy emphasis on meats and carbs under 20 a day. Feeling great and I am at the same weight as 30 years ago.
Learning from you has literally saved my life! Thank you! I love how you teach, doc.
Dr Fung, all i can say is, thank you, you saved my life.
Worked for my husband. An A1C of 10 at the start to 5 in less than a year. He's been backed off most of his meds. I think he takes one or two Metformin.
I was cycling across India
I got a blood clot in my right calf muscle
The pain was super bad. I just fasted for
48hrs. All pain left
I went from 34 inches to 28 inches in 3 months doing IF, I love the flexibility as I really like to FEAST every now and then :D , really appreciate people like Dr. Fung who makes it so simple to understand.
I started fasting 6 months ago, my A1C dropped from 8.0 to 6.0 in 3 months. I'm going in for a checkup this week, I'm crossing my fingers there will be more improvement.
Hey can you update here now thanks
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
Doctor Fung is a rockstar!! Thank you for all the good you do on this world !!!
My 91 year old dad reversed his diabetes permanently.
nice 👍!!
how long did he have it
This man saving humanity right here.
THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!!!!
The man - the legend .. Dr Jason Fung !! Thank you for all you do !
Thank you for the video Dr Fung. Hope you are keeping well. 😊❤😊
My ex has T2D and her doctor gives her insulin. I often wonder why her medication is increasing every visit to the doctor. She's a nurse and just follows the doctors instructions even though she is aware of her insulin resistance.
This is fantastic information thank you!!!!!!!!
Talking about feeling better after listening to this
Had a lap band, had to have it out, complications. 3 small 1 cup size meals a day. 6 years of hell. Sick all the time. Nausea every second of the day. GERD so bad that a specialist told me I was going to get throat cancer if I didn't have it out. IF OMD. Losing weight. Bipolar, Fybromyalga, Thyroid problems so much better I'm enjoying life again. All these studies that say it's bad for you are paid by companies that produce food for excessive consumption. I wish I knew about Intermittent Fasting back in 2012 before I had the Laproscopic Band and had to have it out 2018. I cant believe I feel so good even with my mental and health issues. Thanks Dr Fung for improving my life. Keep spreading the science and message
The Jardiance commercial before this started made me laugh. 😂
At least half the commercial I see on tv is for these scam meds
I was doing so well and fell off the wagon so I came here for the knowledge and motivation, I'm determined
Thank you for your videos 🙏
Good pep talk and reminder of the basics. Sometimes we just need a refresher.
Hey Dr Fung, MD here, God bless you, your take on the science and expanding our knowledge and horizons is absolutely great, correct, and of utmost importance - thank you
I love this man!!! He speaks simplicity!!!
Jason fung is a Super doc🙏
I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t come across the 2 Keto Dudes podcast, which led me to Dr Fung, Dr Berg and others. What a relief to be told, with research and experience to back it up, that you don’t HAVE to have type 2 diabetes. That perhaps you can prevent horrific diseases like Alzheimers and cancer. These lectures and videos fill me with hope. Thank you thank you Dr Fung 🙏 🙏
Thank you Dr J Fung for touching many lives. Learnt a lot from listening and watching your videos. God Bless you. My A1C 6.9 and after 5 months dropped to 5.7 ❤
As a kid, I found eating a chore. As an adult, I ate healthy but sparingly. Now I am learning that without knowing I was intermitting fasting. No wonder I have always maintained a healthy weight and body.
Have a good day Dr.jason
Dr Jason’s book explains it all.My Doctor didn’t have the time or inclination to tell me about intermittent fasting.Wanted to sell me metformin Thank You Dr Fung - your advice works
Jason once told us that a 7 or 8 year old kid told him when asked “ How would you do it to lose weight?” the kid replied “ just don’t eat!” And that’s when he realized that fasting is simply not eating!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
I'm a 72 year old woman and not diabetic, but I was wondering what the daily macros should be when intermittent fasting? Right now I'm following 40-30-30 macros and 1100 calories a day. I'm also weight training. People think I'm in my fifties. I've just started fasting. 5pm-12pm
thank you Dr. Fung.
I started doing I F for almost a month is working like a charm my fasting glucose levels in the morning were 275 to 325 even with insulin they were always high now after a month they are 140 to 155 and im feeling better do t get me wrong in the beginning was hard always hungry at night. Thant you Jason they should give you the novel prize
How many hours do we have to fast and what food can we take after the fasting
Simple and logic explanation to continue my fasting routine :)
So I dropped 130lbs , your work helped me thanks! :)
I lost 50 Lbs and started loving the challenge. I love walking and making the needle move.
This is the best summary I ever heard from Dr Jason.
