So do medication, vitamins, fish oil, affect this as well? Should I take them all at once?
When I break my fast after 16-18 hours the food tastes great! Problem is that I’m getting heartburn
Not sure if I’m eating too fast
Any suggestions???
I am 48 years old been a type 2 diebetic for bout 10 years now been overweight for just a little longer than that 5.11 height have weighed as much as 325 lbs the last 6 years been 300 to 290. Ok so my blood work came back like i knew it would Cholesterol High, Tryglicerides over 500 and A1c 12... Now in a nutshell April 1st i weighed 289 now April 25th I'm 269 my fasting glucose went from 300's on the first to 78 this morning my energy level is off the roof... Here's what I did, ive been doing the 16/8 sometimes 18/6 and eating nutritious minding my carbs, pretty much exactly what Dr is talking bout in this video and I'm on my way too reverse this disease I'm gonna do this just had to share this is real and it work like a miracle
I’m just coming off an extended water fast and now I am doing OMAD, and it’s been awesome!💯👍
But what if you're doing ADF? On feast day do you double your calories or eat normally?
I have recently started eating just once a day at noon and skipping altogether on Wednesday. It seems a bit extreme but so is my 5’7 350 lb frame. Wish me good luck. Feeling good so far.
Wish my son would be motivated.. yes good luck!
It's not extreme at all.Congratulations
Good work Elijah!
👏👏👏 keep it up!
Good luck, Elijah. 👍You’ve got this!
2 years ago I was +550lbs. With fasting and keto I'm now down to 330lbs. This really works.
Wow, thats fantastic to hear, keep it up!
Good for you I have lost 80 so far took 2 yrs but it works
Congrats!! Amazing job!
That’s amazing! Keep it up for your health!😊
Wow fantastic. Well done
When I feel hunger during a fast, I see it as my body switching to my fat storage and do my best not to disrupt that transition. Pushing my fast even longer.
Saved my life. reversed my type 2 diabetes. Was the first doctor I listened to. I Was 315 lbs. Addicted to sugar, eating 4 ice cream sandwiches at a time..etc. Was dying, with type 2 diabetes out of control. Now Keto, intermitintent fast ing everyday (18-6) and 1 day a week 24 hour fasting. Now 250 lbs. (6'4") No diabetes and feel fantastic. been 10 months. I owe Dr. Fung my life.
Good for you! Glad to hear it! Sounds like you’re doing exactly the right things!
How did you kick your sugar addiction?
@@andreigavrilovutube I made a decision for no sugar. After 3 days it was a breeze but the most important thing is what I replaced all the bad food with. For a while it was Free range pasture raised eggs and canned asparagus. Later Avacados were added and pecans. Pasta and carbohydrates were replaced with meat and leafy green vegetables. Full keto.Oh and I only drink water...ever. It is really not that hard to quit sugar. Or cutting way back on carbs. You feel so great without all the vegetable oil, and breads...its easy really. Tryi t for 1 week. And the thing about Keto is fat is much more satiating which allows you to do 16/8 intermitent fasting.
When I ate breads and donughts and sugar I still was always hungry.
Oh and 1 thing. dont think you can replace sugar with artificial sweetners. This will spike your insulin and the #1 key for me was keeping my insulin levels as low as possible
@@truthorpropaganda9001 Sounds like I'm half way there - 1 year ago I stopped eating all processed SUGAR - chocolate, honey, ice cream... that was difficult, but I quickly felt huge health improvements! The problem is, I still kept eating a lot of Fruits and Carbs... So now it's time for level 2 and to cut down on the Carbs - will be a challenge but glad others went through it))
@@truthorpropaganda9001 you mention no vegetable oil... what do you fry with?
Who is scrolling down and reading whilst listening Our doctor Jason?
Technically I'm not listening to the doctor I'm reading comments lol
@@sugarcan1110 same here😀

Also lets not forget that intermittent fasting is not just about losing weight and worrying about calorie intake. But the big part of fasting is to reverse insulin resistance in the cells
Its also about healing what is bad in your body..kidneys, fatty liver, arthritis etc.... not all of us need to lose weight but have health issues. 😢
Exactly!! I have been OMAD for over 5 years not to specifically lose weight. I am much more interested in the autophagy and disease prevention benefits and having better skin, better cardiovascular health, improved mood, and clearer thinking. More defined muscles and greater strength are just added benefits!
It’s plain and simple eat as clean as possible and drink water and coffee no sugar 🤷🏻♀️
@@cinnamongirl3070Exactly
@@jessicamartin248 there will always be sugar and cream in my coffee just like there will always be grass in the fields.
"Fasting is really a time when you allow your body to eat its-own body fat" You said it.
If you eat it, you need to burn it or you will store it.
It's as simple as that.
Yeah, isn’t it amazing and miraculous? We are all still here!
Jason Fung should be awarded the Nobel Prize of « much good done to the rest of humanity ». There isn’t much financial gain to get for him from what he explains , but what he brings to humanity is priceless. And will be measured at the end of his life.
_"And will be measured at the end of his life."_
And still you would give him a Nobel Prize...
Absolutely, what solid, sane and clear direction he gives. Truly rare in a time where big money wants a bite.
Just love this man with his clear and simple breakdown on what could be medical gibberish for many of us… 👏🏽👏🏽💕🙏🏽
Unfortunately that prize has become a joke long time ago, and should be abolished instead.
It’s rarely given to people who really deserve it anymore.
@@Hannah-pc7hg Yep. As soon as Obama got it, everyone knew that award was a joke.
I had recently completed my first 12 day water fast. I had utilized all the foundational information and some from other sources. Due to some health issues specific to myself I struggled a bit but it ended great. Some info:
Personal
-49 Years old
-Hispanic
-10 year Military retiree (for context later). 172 lbs out if boot and 193 at retirement.
-232 lbs
-Consistent BP 132/94
Health issues
-Hypertension (taking meds)
-Gall Bladder removal
-Knee pain
-Early sighs of diabetes
Daily action
-2 liters of water (1 liter smart water in the morning and afternoon and 1 liter in the evening)
-12oz of water /w 1 tsp of salt each morning
-1 probiotic capsule
-1 multivitamin
-1 prescribed potassium chloride pill (I was low to to the diuretic effects of my BP meds)
-BP meds
Progression
Day 1-3: Hunger which started tapering off by day 3 but the mind games with myself to quit were frequent.
-Day 4-5. This is we’re I stopped previously. My gall bladder removal made it so that I had diarrhea while my digestive system emptied itself. Couple that with my BP meds making it a struggle to retain what little salt I tried to keep in my system I got worried. However this time I pushed past it and by the time I was thoroughly ‘empty’ my bile production eventually stopped as did the diarrhea.
- Day 6 and beyond: From this point I experienced all the normal effects. Chills when only a month ago I felt fine in the same temperature. Minor issues getting 6-7 hours of sleep (previous norm) a night with now 5 being the new norm cause I just can’t stay asleep. Feeling wiped after any decent exertion. Case in point I could 3 sets if 100 calf raises and now I struggled to do even 60 total. However each day I say the improvements which only we as individuals notices as we see ourselves in the bathroom mirror every morning.
End results
-206 lbs (26 lbs total loss)
-BP readings were a consistent 107-110/75-79. This was the biggest wow for me. I’m used to losing weight with new work out reqs and such but I hypertension runs on both sides of my family and I was told having to manage it was my new norm given my age.
-2 inches off my my size 40 waist
-Dark skin at the base of my neck disappeared
-Smaller skin tags are the base of my neck also vanished although a few still remain
-Face is more angular (A haven’t seen that in almost 5 years.
End thoughts
The biggest struggle was the unknown. We are all used to being told how things will pan out everyday for many things and even experienced them ourselves from time to time. But to be able to ‘experience’ it drives home the realize of it. I am now confident that I can do this and I will be doing it again a month from now. Information is our best tool for getting started and tailoring a plan specific to our personal situation is the next best thing.
If you’ve read this far I wish you the best in your fasting endeavors. You can do this!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you so much. God bless you 🕊❤️🌱
Thanks for sharing your journey. Very helpful
Amazing! Thank you for sharing! 😊
What is smart water?
To help to empty sooner, and completely; also towards supporting the liver's detoxification function; consider adding coffee enemas (for example in the beginning, middle and end of the fast)? For more info on this: Tony Grandov has an excellent YT presentation about how he had used CE to alleviate his chronic constipation.
I started fasting 14 days ago. I used to snack a lot and now I don't even think about it. I did a protein based diet last year and it took me nearly a year to lose 5 kilos. I'm a 68 year old woman and have now lost 2 kilos in 2 weeks........... I'm not even being very strict and even had some wine at the weekend but all the snacking has stopped. Normally when I sweep the patio I struggle and feel as if I have no strength. This morning I had no problems at all. Fasting is wonderful and I recommend it.
I'm from India. I was 106 kgs & lazy. I'm 6.0 feet tall. After watching your videos on weight reduction & exercise, I've reduced weight to exact 81.0 kgs in 5 months. I walk 5 kms daily on weekdays, 10 kms daily on weekends in a park near my house. My eat in 18-6 window. I used to think its rubbish, how will survive without food. Now i feel, how stupid i was. Hehehe. I love your videos & watch them, like them whenever I get time from my work. The credit to my weight loss goes to you. You're awesome !!
What you eat in your eating window can you share. It's so confusing all are saying low crab and as Indian my normal is roti rice dal sabji salad. Not avacado and others
@@gouravsahnianand8313 After watching dozens of videos & going through lot of descriptions I made my own customized diet. I'll be honest, it was a personal diet. You can't eat everything nutritious & still lose weight. So, i focused on proteins for 15 days, then healthy fats for 15 days, then walking for 5kms daily. When i gained confidence, I increased my fasting period. I'll give you my diet, Breakfast - 1/2 bowl Bottle gourd, Ridge gourd, Apple Gourd, sliced onions & cucumbers mixed salad, 4 spoonfuls of Coriander Vegetable chutney, 1 chapati. That's my breakfast at 12pm. Dinner - same as breakfast at 6pm. Then Keto diet from 6pm to 12pm the next day. I walk 10kms evening 7pm to 9pm with google fit to calculate my brisk walking. 500 metres lap of neighbourhood park in 5 minutes & 30 seconds. i.e. 11mins per km is my speed. In 3 months, I lost 15 kgs...In 4th & 5th month I filled my diet with 1 bowl of pulses or kidney beans daily in breakfast to compensate the proteins in blood. Lastly, 4 litres of water was compulsory in summers & 3 litres of lukewarm water in winters is a must. I'm trying to reach my personal goal of 75 kgs. That's 31 kgs down from 106 kgs of my peak weight. Hope it helps you. I'll suggest you to make a diet according to your own doctor & your determination. I was 100% determined to make a difference in my life. And There are 100's of online videos. But listen patiently for full 45mins or 60mins of Jason Fung, even if it sounds obvious & related to previous videos. I owe my weightloss journey to him. And keep trying to fill nutrients. Hope it helps you. Do make your own chart. Don't copy mine or you'll hurt yourself. Okay.
@@gouravsahnianand8313 vegetables also have carbohydrates but it’s a better type of carb because it’s mixed with fiber and vitamins.
Eat low refined carb. Eat only Roti or rice , not both. Eat double portion of vegetable and dhal and half portion of Roti / rice. This will still give you carbs but allow you feel full because of the fiber .
Thanks for the reply .. I will try my best. I am pure veg (no egg) so was scared about protein but beans and dal will do some help. Didi you take any supplement like in videos they say magnesium and vitd is must ... ?
@@gouravsahnianand8313 yes supplements are a must. VitD, magnesium, potassium, iron ( especially if you are veg) . Protein is important. You can get from nuts, seeds and fats like ghee. Avoid all fruits unless it’s low glycemic. Fruits are a big source of hidden sugars. All sugars are bad for you including “natural” sugars.
I started at 280lbs in March. Today, May 4th, I'm 237.8lbs.
I'm a single mom of a rambunctious 5yr old, who I need to feed even while I'm fasting, so anyone can do this! 🎉
Way to go!!!
You're amazing and don't you ever forget it❤❤❤
Well done lady. Thanks for the inspiration as I'm in a similar situation 🎉
That's AWESOME!! Good for you - keep it up!!! You GOT THIS!!!
Thanks! Down to 226lbs now 🙂. Hoping to be out of 200s by September 1st.
He provided the science and I dropped 40 pounds and reversed my prediabetes diagnosis.
I have been 16-8 hours fasting, with 2 meals a day, for 15 years and have been able to keep my weight stable without hunger.
I wish I knew more about fasting 20 years ago
Same here. Doing keto and fasting for two years now.
I do, generally, 72 hrs of fasting a week, eat lots of veggies, healthy fat, not much proteins, and do HIIT 5 times a week. I lost the 1.5 year about 12 kg but nothing after that.
My weight is stabilized now and even if I want to lose more I can't (?)
Happy anyway. Lots of energy
@@kanetoews7747 better late than never!
@@georgetaladriz1911 I've been ketovore since April 2021 with OMAD and some weeks EOD 40:8, mostly eating beef, bacon, eggs, cheese and butter and the occasional salad or veg stir fry.

@@zaratheexplorer8290 100%!!! 😄😄
I think , this world should be thankful for having someone who is actually really concern about our health.
Yes, especially since these "studies" and trials are intentionally designed to make healthy things like IF or keto look bad. Can't have people getting too healthy - then they wouldn't need mountains of medication! It's disgusting. Fung here is a hero.
@@bradleyboyer9979
Hmm. Deep and rational statement
@@bradleyboyer9979 after studying the studies, I found too many didn't actually find what the conclusions say they did. 🙄
They should be, but the powers that be are most likely PISSED because there's no money to be made in fasting or being healthy lol.
I don't trust the majority of MDs, certainly not the VA, which is my only option. MANY of them have NO knowledge of nutrition...EVEN the nutritionists! I've been to several nutritionists over the years. I've never seen one that wasn't overweight or obese. They must have been following what their school taught them!
I was 230 lbs on sept- oct 2021, Im 4’11” and 55 y/o post menopausal female. I began intermittent fasting eating within a 4 hour period ( 1 pm- 4 pm )and restraint my caloric intake . This really works!! Now on February 2022, I am 186 lbs!! Don’t have sweets addiction anymore and feeling energized again, I was not under 200 lbs since high school!! Love this!!
Sept 1 2022. I keep loosing weight, feeling great so far, Im now 172 lbs!! Thanks for so nice comments ☺️
Update october 2022: I’m niw on 172 lbs, some issues with hair loss, but consulting with MD. Otherwise I feel very good thanks for all the encouragement.
I'm very happy for you! It looks like you're doing great. I do have a question though, how hard is it to consistently maintain that window? I don't get home from my office until about 530, and then after maybe some exercise and unwinding I am pretty hungry for dinner. In your time slot, you're already done eating for the day. Also, how do you manage that socially as when you go out with friends?
@@rickatreides2043 thanks for ur reply
Tbh I was doing this kind of customized, I mean, I had a span of 4-6 hours to eat and program it according my work schedule u could do that.I work 7-4 so I get to work, drink only coffee at 8, then I continue working and eat the principal meal or high caloric meal at 12 or 1 pm, then When I get home I go to walk or do simple exercise drink plenty water and eat something light or drink a cup if tea at night. I gave noticed the sugar cravings I had just disappear and without noticed I begin to loose weight. I was so surprised. Adapt this to ur time and lifestyle and u would surely see results. Hope u success!!!
Socially I don’t have issues cause if I had to eat outside I just replace one of my meals and don’t overeat.
@@Sorana44 Thank you for responding to me! I'm going to give it a try. I don't have a great deal to lose but I used to be fairly athletic before and it was much easier. Now, not so much. Thank you for sharing your efforts and results. It's a great inspiration
Amazing! Well done!
I guess my question for you which might be impossible for you to know is, did calorie restriction destroy your metabolism.
Recently started 18/6. It fits family schedule and I can stick to it. I feel fantastic. At least half of each meal is vegetables, sweets are fresh fruit. I can't believe how sugar cravings have disappeared.
How long before your sugar cravings went away? I crave sugar during feeding time.
I crave sugar after eating savoury and when I try to cut it out all together my head aches so badly. Sugar is the food of the devil in my opinion the drug of the modern world 😮 it really should be banned from processed foods
@@mauricelangley5033 get a high cocoa solids dark chocolate 70% or above or very low sugar choc & have a couple of squares of it after your meal it won't spike insulin & will satisfy sweet cravings, it works for me anyway if I really fancy something sweet
Just have to watch the amount of fruit you eat. Hemoglobin A1c does not measure fructose glycating the blood cells. It only measures glucose damage.
@@marynehra502 I was doing that until I found out how high dark chocolate is in oxalates, lead, and cadmium. Oxalates were causing my fibromyalgia and bladder pain issues. I don't know how much a few squares raises insulin, but for me, the dopamine hit makes me crave more than that. Darn!
the cool thing about fasting is that it reduces hunger, which allows greater control over your eating behavior. eating more of the right things and less food overall is a lot easier when your body is willing to go along with it.
I’m fine until I start eating, then the hunger kicks in big time. So I start with oat bran porridge and then hit the protein.
I've been practicing IF for almost a year now (19:5) and believe me....over time of doing this, gorging when you break your fast is so uncomfortable! Also, my palate has become more sensitive to processed food and I actually feel sick if I eat anything that's not fresh. What I do now is I eat the types of food that my grandparents and great-grandparents recognize (fresh, homemade Filipino/Asian dishes). Since doing that, my waist line has gone from 38 (thanks COVID lockdowns!) to 34 and my energy levels have actually allowed me to go back to the gym and get back into weightlifting again. Fasting is something that our ancestors did before food became too convenient. I see it as going back to basics and letting our bodies do what it does naturally.
Absolutely. What our grandparents did. I feel just the same and it helps greatly because
- it is well known
- it is old tradition
*Wut if I Eat a BIG STEAK!!!🔥🔥🔥 After Fasting????*
*Does THAT Raise InSuLin🔥🔥🔥LeveLs?????*
Paul, this is exactly my experience with IF, and eating everything organic and freshly cooked. Healthy colorful veg, berries and good qualtiy protein in 110-120g per day. I make my own cakes, bread, lemon curd and ice cream - all of which can be frozen in single portions and used sparingly. Lots of seeds and nuts and daily 85% cocoa chocolate. Filtered water, curcumin and Vit D with K2 I find my appetite is reduced and when I have eaten 'special treats' on holidays such as Christmas, I feel really icky afterwards. I also have good energy for late '60's and am constantly on the go, enjoying life. I just wish I had learned about this years ago! People should have this knowledge!
Edwig Carol …only problem is that our grandparents were eating great but then changed to, I Can’t Believe it’s not Butter, pre-packaged processed food & seed oils. Then they started to get fat!
@@Justin.Martyr I don’t think it will because if we eat those “2000” calories for example in the form of a fat or protein, those won’t be stored from my understanding. And a nice big fatty steak (which isn’t 2000 calories) will keep you satisfied for quite some time.
Done my very 1st 48 hr fast and it is amazing how great I felt! Brain fog gone at age 62! Going to do it every mo.
Is that how often a person should do a long fast? Once a month? I was just curious. Thank you

@@ibaa7-348 hi sorry for not giving a more detailed answer. It took me around 6 months.
9 months ago started 16-8 intermittent fasting and reduced carbs, not super strict but eat more whole foods and more proteins. Also, walk at least 30 min a day. 30 lbs gone. It’s like magic! Thanks so much for your wisdom and sharing this knowledge.
I know this is an older video but for anyone just starting this is great information, I have been on and off keto for a couple years now and it took some time to be able to fast comfortably. My advice is listening to these people like Jason Ken berry Baker………. And then be patient with the process, your understanding of the balance of eating and fasting and what works for you to be sustainable for you………. After two years I have gone full carnivore and the fasting feeding cycle for me is very easy now……it took time to get there, Jason has so much helpful information as do others mentioned above. Good luck everyone it took time for you to get unhealthy so it also will take time to get healthy, you only get out of it what your willing to put into it. Be patient .
I reversed high insulin, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high platelets in three months by changing my lifestyle. I'm down 55 pounds and loving it, thanks for sharing this information.
What did you do? How did you eat? What did you eat?
Family members slipping comments in ?
@@Whitening-travelTo answer this, most of us do some form of intermittent fasting (I do 18:6) and just as importantly, remove most added sugars (and all sugared beverages, just drink water, but especially during fasting phase as it breaks your fast). Also eat low carbs, especially processed carbs as vegetables are great, and healthy fats. Generally, if you aren't eating a lot of carbs with your saturated fats then saturated fats are fine. My trick to raise my fat intake as too much bacon fat, steak fat etc isn't my style, is to cook a lean fat like chicken, then add a fat, such as cutting a groove in it and stuffing it with feta cheese, then adding olive oil, drizzling it over the chicken after it is cooked.
To summarize: remove most added sugar, drastically lower processed carbs (this definitely includes bread, unfortunately, should probably just ditch the bread altogether) and raise fat and protein intake to feel full by triggering the, "I'm full," hormones.
55 pounds thats like 20 kg!!
@@Feechurdcloser to 25kg
I just eat twice a day between noon and 6pm give or take a half hour. I drink coffee in the morning and water. I eat some desert occasionally but rarely and very little sugar intake at all.
I am 5'3 and since Oct 2021 I have shed almost 60 pounds, from 215 to under 160. I have 10 to 15 pounds to go so I have very little body fat. I just turned 50 last November and this sure helps. It is simple when God is with you. God can be with you if you work with God alone who can take all cravings out of you. Then we can make this permanent and easy. With God there is no fighting the devil, God just makes it FLEE.
I try to do OMAD most of the time but sometimes do 20:4.....and yes I used to make that mistake and even now if I over indulge at a meal I feel SO sick with a stomach ache that it is just not worth it. You really do get used to it and find your sweet spot. I am down 51 lbs so far with about another 50 lbs to go.....2022 will be my year :)...thanks for this info.....
I’m in exactly the same spot Catherine...50 down 50 to go. Must be the name✅💪
@@kathrynhogan3387 LOL....must be :).....
Catherine, in your 4 hour "eating window" do you eat one or two meals? I'm experimenting with 18:6, eating 2 meals.
@@eileenbaird6617 I had been eating 1 meal and recently changed to 2 to see if it helped or hindered my weight loss. Some job stress was also bringing on hunger that I really hadn't had before so I thought adding the second meal would help. I think I will go back to the 1 meal or reduce the size of the meals when I eat 2. It is kind of a work in progress but I was doing well with 1 meal and probably should have left it alone.
Do you have black coffee during your fasting period?
I'm practicing OMAD and I actually notice that I can't eat a lot anymore compared when I was not fasting. I get full very quickly
Saving a ton of money on food!
wow that's awesome !
That's why you shouldn't do OMAD long-term. I learned that the hard way. I did keto and fasting for years and it wrecked my metabolism. You should do IF at least up to 6 months in a year, then go back to regular eating. That would allow your body to get fat-adapted and get the benefits of fasting without crashing your metabolism. Then do extended fast of 10 to 40 days once a year. This annual cycle of IF, regular eating and extended fast is more beneficial and safer than making IF your permanent WOE.
Sounds kinda scary to me.
I am on OMAD too, but i eat 4500 calories in one sitting, this helps me last for 23hrs, while i workout fasted. 95% protein
Smart tips- don't over eat after your fast.
Thank you Dr. Fung for saving my life and happiness. I lost 72 lbs ( down to 128 lbs). I am metabolically healthy with a fast insulin gong from 2.0 to 2.4 and 3. You saved my life.

I was 240lbs. With fasting and keto and 30 minute walking exercise I'm now down to 180lbs. A1c 5.3
Beautiful
Something that may help others here is I've started using a divided plate. 8 1/2 inches, by Corelle. The large divided area is for vegetables, and the smaller divided areas are for protein and EITHER a starch or a fruit.
Once I've finished that plate, I'm done eating for the day, period.
That means I don't have to count calories, only measure the food into their 3 correct spaces.
If I eat soup, the bowl sits in one of the divisions, and I don't get to put anything else in that spot. If it is a bean soup or a cheese soup, it fits in the protein spot. If it is a noodle soup it fits in the starch/fruit spot.
Yes, sometimes I have a sandwich. It gets cut in half and 1 half goes in the protein spot and 1 half goes into the starch/fruit spot.
Yes, sometimes I have an all-in-one meal, like a veggie and bean lasagna, lol. I just do the best I can, and don't eat it often, HAHAHA!
Anyway, that's how I handle the calories question.
If I am going someplace where cake is expected (wedding, birthday) then I eat a salad before I go, and allow myself a slice of cake, but no ice cream. Or I allow myself a scoop of ice cream but no cake.
Also, I can't always eat at the same time every day. so my fasting times might vary. It can't always be 23 hours exactly.
The fast was made for man, not man for the fast. I keep myself to that 8 1/2 plate ALMOST every day.
I've noticed that ever since I started fasting 16:8, my hunger has actually decreased and I don't snack as often. When I see candy/chocolate now I can resist it. My will power has definitely become stronger! Also I've noticed when I'm on a fast routine I eat more simple and more clean.
Just go through the withdrawal of fats & chocolate & u will no longer crave them. They will just be a pleasant memory
Been fasting for about 3 years now.intermittent and 48hr to 72 hrs once a month. I am down 100 lbs.
*I FAST ONE DAY, ALL DAY🔥🔥!!!!*
*& then on GORGE🔥🔥 on Second Day!!!!*
*BUT: OnLy on NON Sugar🔥🔥 HEALTHY FOODS!!!!*
Most insulin is in bread, meat, dairy and processed foods. If you also go 75% raw and 100% organic vegan you will be healthy a loooooong time
My appetite has definitely changed as well, I can't eat nearly the same amounts of food in one sitting as I used too. I see this change as a positive thing because I used to overeat all the time!
Dr Fung saved my life when I read the Obesity Code (audio, at work!) 3 years ago. 50lbs, and many phases of restricted eating, and low carb lifestyle later, I am so grateful. I would follow this man to the moon and back. He is a Saint!

I was 80kgs in 2018. I started fasting incorporated with a fasted workout that was really very effective. I'm still doing it until now. Current weight 53kgs.
What type of fasting did u do? Can u please elaborate
@Class V A Maths 20:4 fasting, I eat once a day. I end my fasting at 6 pm. I eat healthy foods, avoid oily foods, and sugary and have fewer carbs. I do a lot of hiit workout. After I shed all those fats , I started to add weights to my workout to tone.
@@vickyambersely3898 Thanks for your reply. I weighed 79 kg. Now I am 74kg in 2 months. Hoping to get to 60 kg

@Marz, congratulations 🎉. It might sound easy, but I sure know from experience it isn't.
I was 69kgs, now stuck at 64.
My goal is at most, 58kgs. Wish me 🤞🏻
343 lbs in April 2022. Today 248 lbs. fasting and complete change of habits and food. Feeling great.
I am in this journey also and seeing you succeeded is great to hear. Similar story. Could you please expand more on you experience and best tips? How are you roght now?
Very interesting. I’m doing a 18/6 fast/eat and was worried I wasn’t eating enough calories. But really my body is getting enough calories cause it is getting them from my body fat. Excellent , thank you. The more you know…..
Our stored fat is also stored energy 🙌
But we should also focus on very nutritious food so we don’t lack of vitamins
Thanks for this important reminder....it kinda sneaks up on me sometimes.
are you losing wieght?
@@emmapasqule2432 doing fasting and low carb i lost 28lbs in 28 months. Im seeing a womens hormone specialist now though and i have to eat a lot more than i was. My body was burning muscle for energy. But she also has me doing fasting even though my protein/carbs/calories have been increased. Fasting and carb cycling are tactics for weight/fat loss she uses as well. Im still in the detox phase so i have not experienced the fat loss yet, but trying to play the long game. .
I started fasting 18:6 for the last two months and I’ve lost 40 pounds. I also do two 72 hour fasts twice a month. I’m loving my new lifestyle.
How many meals do you have a day
Congratulations! It works! Down 30 lbs in 4 months....20 to go..
me same, though i do 72hours every week, np, but when l eat OMAD, l do eat alot! all nutritious foods though. my weight is not my concern, although it is ~10% lighter than normal.also exericse while fasted works for me, eat like a healhty pig omad ok l think
Great job!
Me too! I used 2 days fast/1 day feed routine to lose most of my weight, but transitioned to 18/6 when I was ready to slow down and get to maintainence. It's kept me at my goal for 2 years now, but I must say those first months, after doing 2 fast/1 feed for so long, 18/6 made me feel like I was eating all the time.
This is a great clarification for me. I was under the impression that during OMAD that I should try to eat a full days worth of calories. It's often felt like too much, so this simplifies the process.
Yes, it does. I thought the same. Didn’t want to lower my metabolism.
Let’s party!
Thank you Dr Jason Fung. I started your Intermittent Fasting program 16/8. My weight went from 94 to 85kgs in 5 months. The funny thing is I still take rice for lunch and no gym at all.
YEESSS. My 1st attempt omad 1 year ago, I was eating as much as possible in my one meal so that "I wouldn't feel hungry and be tempted to eat later." Only to find myself PISSED I was only maintaining my weight, not losing. It wasn't until my current second attempt at fasting that I'm eating a regular sized meal and stopping when I get that first signal I'm full, even if I have more on my plate. (sometimes I eat a little more if it's too delicious 😅) and that change has not only been of course, helping me lose weight. I'm surprisingly LESS hungry than I was the 1st attempt. It's been going great so far 1 month in!
Hey! That's amazing. With my first attempt I could lose some weight with apple cider vinegar and even with carbs I was fat adapted. But I left it for some reason and now with my second attempt I am not losing any. Even if you ate less did you get hungry later? Or did that affect your health in anyway?
@@gargijadhav202 Now I only get hungry about 3 hours before my eating window. Which is totally normal and expected to happen. And I can hold out and keep myself busy or distracted for 3 hours. 👍🏼 So far I've been kinda half assing keto 🤣 I'll have some cards here or there like breaded chicken. But I'm not having say a serving of rice, potatoes, or pasta. And on foods I'm not having dense creamy dressing like ranch. HOWEVER there are plenty of times I've just wanted some ramen or my sister made sweet potatoes dessert and I had that as part of my meal. And I eat the starchy foods LAST so that when I get full, I get full on the high fat and protein stuff FIRST. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good! 💖 Oh! And another thing, I now know that if I had a carb heavy meal and not fat adapted anymore, I'm DEFINITELY going to be more hungry the next day. And because of that I can remind myself "I only FEEL ravenous because I had carbs, I can wait it out like any other day. 😤" that helps me stay motivated. Hope that answers your question.
@@MochaxMatcha that's awesome. Thank you so much! That's definitely helpful.
Yes lots of us must make that mistake at the beginning.. it is a learning process..
By me (BMI normal but bad glucose homeostasis) i felt a psychological emotional stress at the end of even a short fasting (want to lower my insuline level) : i couldnt convince myself that all my needs were covered. and felt ravenous when taking my first meal, breaking the fast.
So i stopped fasting.. was a disturbance but have kept keto or very low carb perfectly well.. and no snacking of any sort for 3 years now.
Now I prepare it.. i must feel self-confident and at peace.. no forcing, no tension (of course 0 g carb a day before..to have a better start. )
so i can break the fast, keeping my emotional balance .
Hedonic food is such a thing (mother..)
But there is a hedonic fasting too.. i guess . The fasting state can be really pleasant..
@@gargijadhav202 I think the key to stay full and not starve the rest of the day is to eat low carb and get your body used to that first. Obviously, no sugar including fruits and grains. Once you lower your blood sugar and insulin levels, fasting is easy peasy! and to keep yourself full without simple carbs, you need to eat healthy fats like olives, nuts and avocados with lots of leafy greens and fiber.
I really needed to hear this...been over indulging when I break my fasts and not seeing any progress, actually regressing 😞 now I know why...thank you!!
I don't think it's necessarily a question of calories, just don't break your fast with fast carbs like sugar, grains
How are you going now
He doesn't mention drinking water in between meals. Do you drink water between meals? I do.
The best way to overindulge is to remove distractions, slow down, chew your food slowly, taste, smell, and savor your food and mealtime. Make it a special experience for YOU to in-joy.
Makes sense but the moment you deny yourself of something you’ll start craving it which is why people won’t stick to it. Add exercise to your fasting so you create a caloric deficit and still get your sweet fix …..just don’t go mad.
I am excited to find your videos. I am 75, female, 5'2", weight is currently 183 (down from 189). I am T2 diabetic. The fasting began as a response to not being able to get insulin for 2 weeks. I have learned so much about fasting, glucose, body reactions. Thank you.
I've been doing intermittent fasting everyday since July last year. Started at 72kg to now 66kg at 10% body fat. I train for 10 minutes each day doing HIIT at 5am. I feel great, amazing focus which helps me to be super productive. The only thing that I might not be doing right is, I eat like a beast, no restriction during the eating period. Sometimes I only eat OMAD but never exceed 24 hours. Today I'm going for 48 hours!. I feel normal, pretty easy to do.
It's a lifestyle that I've adopted, I'm never going to stop.
Don't wait, start your journey now, build a good habit, habit becomes lifestyle. You can do it! Too many great health benefits to not adopt this lifestyle.
"no restriction" as in you still eat sugar and carbs? If so, seems self defeating to keep your insulin and blood sugar high.
If you're only eating fatty meat/fish and low carb/low glycemic fruits n veggies, keep it up!
@@Jeff.78 you're right I don't do keto diet. I now do weight training so I eat a lot of carbs. I'm now at 64kgs and still do 16/8 IF on daily basis.
It's a lifestyle that can give me the best of both worlds and I feel amazing everyday.
I think folks think of fasting as the highest level change that is needed. The most fundamental part is if we eat healthy we will carry a normal amount of bodyfat. The two most important parts of eating healthy are eating real foods(no processed foods), and not eating very often(fasting). I've found that if one combines fasting with eating real foods, you don't need to worry about calories, overeating, undereating, anything. Eating twice a day and only real foods, a person will get healthy, and they will loose bodyfat. Easy to understand, challenging to implement, life changing when you do.
That is true. Jason Fung's explanations may be the aha moment discouraged people need for motivation to begin that simple way of life.
What you are claiming is incorrect. I am yet to find the magician who will explain to me how calories that you ate magically disappear somewhere in your body. If you eat more than you burn, calories will be stored as fat. That’s a fact. The effect that really helps you making those assumptions is that real food has way less sugar and therefor way less calories than processed food. Also when you fast, your stomach will become smaller and you will feel full after eating less. All in all, most people will simply not manage it to eat more than 2000 calories in one meal every day. That’s why they lose weight. Fasting merely controls where the energy comes from that’s being burnt and has other beneficial effects. But it’s not the reason for losing weight.
@@followp I could have written this comment five years ago. I was totally a calories in-calories out guy, so I know how you feel. You've come up with plenty of reasons why fasting might work, everything but the primary reason: a hormonal approach to fat storage. Keep at it.
@@Lance54689 i guess you dont know how i feel. i fast around 22hrs daily so i do get it. you didnt answer my question tho. what happens to a calory that you ate but you dont burn? if you have ever ran for an hour straight and burnt 800 calories, if you have expirienced the amount of work your body can do within an hour by burning 800 calories, you should ask yourself where the hell those 800 calories go when you dont burn them... when you eat 2800 calories daily and only burn 2000.... how is fasting gonna help?
@@followp Water fasting properly is like a reboot to your entire system. It helps many people lower their insulin, desire for junk food, alcohol, smoking, and can help one eat smaller portions.
You have changed my life. You have been gifted conveying the massage. I understood what you said and it worked. I was 5,7,, with 185lbs, diabetic type 2, with blood pressure and cholesterol. I started IF , 16_8 on Oct 23 , 2021, then I put 24 hrs, 6 days in a stretch, only to come back to 18_6 to have peace at home and family. They are all against it.

It doesn't, calorie deficit is mandatory, you can't lose weight without it. ua-cam.com/video/oQozapYLpsk/v-deo.html
@@Red_Carnation Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you burn as your body performs basic (basal) life-sustaining function.

You don't get an exact number.
@zeeski7454 They have a machine at some of the fancier gyms that trainers use to take your inbody results. One of those results I your BMR along with body fat percentage. Body fat should be the main criteria that people focus on losing and not so much their weight as weight fluctuates with water retention and other factors.

Same here, I thought I can overeat with healthy foods, I was losing weight, but very slowly. Then in 2020 I started eating junk food and drink beer. What a mistake. Went from perfect weight back to Mr. belly. :))
I like how Jason expresses himself. I feel more energised watching his videos, and ready put into action his thoughts.
Thank you so much! This information really helped me a lot. I was doing OMAD and just started Alternate Day Fasting and this is my second fasting day. Yesterday was my first "eat" day and I had to force myself to eat. I tried to eat extra since that's what I have kept watching people say to do. Now I know I'll be just fine not overeating. It was crazy when my 40 hour fast ended I didn't crave all the foods I craved on my fasting day. I couldn't believe my sweet craving was gone! Now that is amazing!! Once again thanks for the information!
Finding Jason channel last year saved my life and was a miracle from God.i was prediabetes but after following his method even my doctor was amazed at the postive changes in my blood sugar levels.Thank you very much Dr Jason,I love you
Yea, Jesus was also a fan of fasting. Just saying.
I've found that since starting IF, that when I do eat again, I hit a satiety level very quickly when I refeed. I could never FEEL when my body told me I was " full" before because I'd abused it for so long it didn't work anymore! Now, because of the IF, I have started to respect the signal that Im full and stop eating. This is something I could never do before because I was a food junkie!! 😫 IF has given me a chance to gain control over my eating, rather than have Food control me- which was my biggest problem all along! I LOVE IF, and Dr. Fang's advice and tutorials have helped greatly!
This is the first biggest difference I noticed in myself. I used to never feel full with 1 serving and always took seconds and sometimes thirds…. Lol I know. Now I feel so full I struggle to finish my first servings. I’ve lost 5kg in 1 month :))
Same here!!!

Dr.Fung .. I want to say thank you .. because your knowledge and insight really helped me transform myself ... I once was obese and depressed. But a few years ago, i read your books and i began to change the way i ate and lived..not only has fasting helped me my body physically... but healthy eating , and losing weight has helped me turn a corner and now I no longer suffer from depression .. Perhaps a study could be done on the effect of a healthy diet on mental health ...
Recently I've seen more and more doctors and experts saying that what we eat, when we eat, and how we eat, affects our mental health big time. I think that the mental health is going to be the next focus for future researchers.
Talking from experience I've noticed a huge difference in my mental health (positive difference), and I'm sure the big part of it is because of the type of food I eat and intermittent fasting I do.

@@mk6455 no I do two full meals a day and fast 18/6

My experience verified everything that Dr. Fung stated here. I need to lose 10 lbs to get my BMI down to 25.0 again. Started a low carb diet and 16/8 IF last Sunday. I also exercise 5x a week (brisk walking or jogging 4 miles). By Friday that week I had lost just over 5 lbs. Low carb + IF + exercise is a good recipe for weight loss.
The first 5-7lbs. Lost on low carb is water, but keep it up, it will fall off, great job!

Dr Jason Fung is the only online doctor I trust.l I am a 51 year old woman in menopause and I have a better body now than I did when I was 21. Fasting and non processed food is the key for me. Thank you for your videos x
I started fasting 6 weeks ago. I have not had a drop of sugar and eat one meal, mainly protein and I have a second snack sometimes 3-4 hrs later, fruit or a few nuts. I have lost 15 lbs so far. I feel better then ever and I’m 59 years of age. I still have 20 additional pounds to go and feel confident that this is a lifestyle change and because I have no real cravings or hunger, it’s very doable.
great job, try to time your "snacking" a bit like if you eat your meal at 1 pm, try to eat your snack about 5-6 hours later. so you have 2 fasting windows per day :)

Eggs has low calories and no carbs ..... Eat your greens ..... My one meal a day .... I eat until I am full .... No process ... No grains .... Bread .... Potatoes .... Rice ..... Oats ..... It all turns to sugar ...
Yesssssssss
Completely corrected my mindset about fasting. Thank you for the clarity.
I aways come back here when I’m doing my monthly 5-7days fast. Thankfully my husband has joined me this time, so I’m happier whilst doing this.
Back story, I was about 80kg in January this year (2023) and now in October, I am down to between 57-62kg depending on where I am in my menstruation cycle. I am feeling fabulous and always doing physical activities including weight lifting and running…all of which I’m building into a new sustainable habit.
This may be hard for many but starting is the biggest challenge, then being consistent is when you’ll see results you can appreciate.
Can you please tell me what's better 5 days or 7 days fast for weight loss?
This is exactly the mistake I’ve been making! Thank you thank you. I feel this will change everything for me. Being more mindful to eat normally and not feel I need to pack enough calories within my one meal a day. You have no idea how much you’ve change le my life since I read your Obesity Code Book. 2 months fasting now and I’m loving this lifestyle. So much more sustainable.

Thanks, Dr Jason for this video. It's educating for those of us who are in the fasting period.
I’m enjoying my current water/coffee fast right now, 38 hours and counting. Feeling great. Staying busy
I was just asking this very question. When fasting, can you still drink coffee and water? I’m assuming you can?
@@JuneBugginTrucking it’s my go to!!! Water, coffee and Himalayan salt
@@JuneBugginTrucking u can i believe that u just need to stay away from the cream and sugar
coffee is okay but you might want to pay attention to how you react to it as your fast continues. the acids in coffee arent so great in a long fast because your liver is already at max work load and coffee adds additional acids that have to be broken down by the liver. as long as you are feeling fine its typically not a problem though.
Staying busy is the key to success. I save projects for fast days and they speed by. I don't even notice the lack of food.
Makes a lot of sense. I challenged myself to do ADF this month and, after week 2, I started to see results.
I love how Dr. Fung is so direct and straightforward. For person like me I really need to hear exactly what I should be doing and Dr. Fung really tells me that. Thank you for being so blunt in a really positive way. I definitely learnt a lot from this video.
Big take away for me that even if I fast for 20 hours it does not mean that I can eat “whatever I want” in my four hour window.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung!
You speak truth clear and sincere, without any hidden interests.
I think your books should be in every school to teach kids about the importance of food and how it can nurture or get us sick.
Fasting is my most successful way to deal with many health challenges. For awhile, the advice to have "fast days and feast days" was my excuse to overeat between fasting. And eating a little more during times of intense exercise does seems to be okay. However, fasting more and longer has proven helpful, and breaking fasts by eating clean and in modest amounts is definitely yielding the best results.
I've been intermittent fasting for a few weeks now. I'm down 100lbs after 2 years. Now I want to step it up.
Your videos made me feel comfortable fasting. I'm in 40 hours so far. I'll go as long as I feel comfortable doing it. I feel pretty good. In fact I ran 2 miles this morning. Thank you. I'm down 3lbs in under 2 days.
lets go, we can do it. this is my 3rd day and i already lose 3kg. i do 23:1. i only eat during that one hour in a small bowl with a healthy meal. and i do eat few watermelon whenever i feel hungry or wanna snack on something. and it feel so awesome. barely feel hunger and i cant even finish a small meal inside my bowl now. its really help control my eating
@@fikri6950 I agree. It's difficult to eat too much when you eat good food.
How do you break a fast that long? Tips? I’m on a 5 day right now and worried about breaking it because the last time I did a 4 day fast I was running to the bathroom every 5 mins 😅😅😅
@@LisePlansandJournals - use bone broth or chicken broth, give it about 1/2hour, then have a hard boiled egg.
Then the next day, you can do the same thing, and after the egg, maybe have a little beef.
I don't think you're supposed to exercise during the fast
Thank you Dr Fung! I’m new to your channel and it’s pulling it all together for me. Thank you!
This is my 3rd week of alternate day fasting and it's been really easy for me
80 lbs gone thanks to you... I Love you, Dr Fung!
Why is it so difficult for these other UA-cam fasting gurus to explain it this simply? These are flawless explanations lol
The only person who can explain things simply is the one who understands them 100% himself/herself. It is partial knowledge that hides behind jargon
Insulin is not your friend. Keep it off as much as possible. This essentially means carbs are going to instantly stop weight loss. If you consume them, for the next 5 hours everything you eat gets stored as fat. If you must eat carbs, keep it isolated from when you eat other calories. Like an ice cream bar. 5 hours no eating, one bar, another 5 hours no eating. But really, no ice cream bars! Lol This is the, "if you need to cheat, at least be smart about it" method. For the most part, vegetables and meat. Avocado mayo is good for you. And tasty.
@@anthonylosego Thanks! Good to know
@@anthonylosego BS! The insulin hypothesis has already been debunked many times! You do you though and keep believing whatever you want lol!
@@Hat65 please supply references to this proof. Thanks.
Thank you so much for what you do. The information you freely share has given my life back to me. No words to properly express my gratitude to you Dr. Fung.
Oh my gosh! This important information can make all the difference for me. I’ve been doing 20:4 with extremely slow progress! Eat normally when you open your window. 💡 I always struggled to get all the calories I thought I needed in my 4 hour window and for sure always worried that if I didn’t, my metabolism was going to suffer. Thank you 🙏🏼 Dr. Jason Fung. Putting this into practice right away starting tomorrow after opening my window.
Same here, and wasn't losing.
I was doing it all wrong too! My OMAD was huge . Never lost weight!
Thank you Dr Fung for all of the information. You have helped me more than you know!
This week's video is a good wake-up call for me 🤔🧐
*Wut if I Eat a BIG STEAK!!!🔥🔥🔥 After Fasting????*
*Does THAT Raise InSuLin🔥🔥🔥LeveLs????*
For me too!
I started 16:8 two weeks ago and now 17:7. Not snacking was very hard for me at first. I’m now trying to fill up on water and get used to the hunger pangs. I’m not seeing much of a change in weight yet but I’m really trying to be mindful and patient.
How many calories are you eating daily?
Middle of a 7 day fast…I feel great, spikes of energy, some insomnia but progress in flexibility. Can literally feel the inflammation move out of my body…been fasting in variations for about year and half.
You're an inspiration. I hope I can do that someday. I've been easing into it... lost 8 lbs but have plateaued although I keep losing inches. Perusing through these UTube videos is educational, inspiring and motivating. Trying to find my way to move from 27 BMI to 20 BMI. Today I learned that I do not have to worry about undereating; I trust Dr. Fung.
Stay awesome, Dr. Fungi! Thank you for your hard work.
This is EXACTLY the video that I needed, Dr. Fung! I have the most success doing lower carb and one meal a day, but I was worried that eating at a calorie deficit (which I do) was slowing my BMR. I'm so happy this isn't true. Thank you so much for the information!
Yeah, all the bros keep telling me I’ll lower my bmr, but the research keeps telling us that longevity is a game of blood sugar and calorie restriction
God bless this man! He repeats himself constantly in so many different forums. I wouldn't be able to keep that pace up all these years on the same thing.
I LOVE Dr Fung and his wonderful teaching.
Thanks Jason been fasting 20 / 4 all the time with the occasional 24 hour fast. Lost 60 pounds never felt better. Going to move up to occasional 48 to 72 hour fasts to loss even more weight and lower my blood pressure. I have been over eating after fasts but learning to eat slower and drinking more water during meals. Once again thanks.
How long have you been doing this.
2 -1/2 years
This is the first time someone is spelling it all out on this matter. When you think about it, it's common sense but those who have weight issue have eating issue that might trigger feeling deprived when skipping a meal, hence overeating unintentionally but unconsciously. I should've been reminded of this and got it clearly in the head when I started a year ago...
I am on OMAD and am sometimes guilty of overeating. I feel just reducing my sugar intake by about 90% and only eating once a day is a huge improvement on the several times a day that I was eating sugar.
OMAD and working out on a heavy resistance day a cardio day followed by a day off schedule has enabled me to shrink my waist by 6 inches in twelve months while maintaining strength and muscle mass. Doing this at the age of 61 and not finding it difficult has been amazing. Wish I had known this year's ago.
My biggest problem has been consuming enough quality protein in one meal to allow good muscle recovery.
Snacking on sweet foods was poison to me. I was starting to show signs of insulin resistance and increasing blood pressure. This was worrying as I am the only adult in my family who is not diabetic.
I am an older father and want to see my little ones grow up. Having seen the effects of diabetes spiralling out of control in those around me I now believe this should be part of health education in schools.
