I'm 62 and have a very stressful lifestyle between caring for grandchildren, elderly parents and working as RN in ICU. I've lost 58 pound over the past 5 months through what I've learned from Dr. Fung. I haven't included extra exercise, I just rid myself of bad carbs and sugar combined with intermittent fasting. I'm not even the greatest or strictest at it; but it has helped me lose weight, gain energy and clean up a lot of foggy thinking. Not to shabby considering my circumstances.
Can you tell me what you ate and if you were careful about the quantity. I have to lose ten pounds a month for the next five months and I’m not losing! I know what to do but how do you stay on it how do you convince yourself
I deeply appreciate Dr. Fung with all my heart! I’ve lost 56 pounds in the past year and am able to keep it off as well as keep my blood glucose in the non diabetic range without any medication. I don’t have a budget that can support paying for medical supervision. Because you’re providing your guidance, medical brilliance and truth (with generosity) without charging (greed)
Praise God. So happy for you, keep it up by Gods grace. So grateful for testimonies like this, and doctors who care about health above products like dr. Fung, no one profits off of fasting except for the patient any doctor suggesting this perhaps really means that oath he took. ❤🙏🏼🛐
I am physician Assistant in Ghana. One day a friend who is previously undiagnosed called to tell me his FBS is 20 when he visited the hospital and was on admission and started on isulin. I then told him if he is willing I could help him so he doesn't remain on the medication. Upon discharge he was put on meteor in and invitedme to come in. From the knowledge gathered from DR.Fung and my own knowledge from research, I started him on IF and carbohydrate restriction a d within days he stopped taking the medications and 6 months down the line he has been off medication and A1c has been around 4.5 from 7 or so. Fasting and all that this man talks about works. I am currently enhancing my knowledge through self study and operational research. Thank u Dr.
I'm 79 and Dr. Fung has helped me lose 21 lbs so far without hopping into a cold water bath which would probably stress me out so much I couldn't recover. Changing eating habits is what the older generation needs.
I love his humanistic, compassionate, non-shaming approach to understanding why people may be overweight. His point about certain people assuming a superiority due to body weight is perceptive. His logical and intelligent, medically-informed explanation undermines the repeated calorie reduction argument in a respectful way.
I learned from Dr Fung and Burg starting bavk in 2018. I lost 70 pounds in 4 months. It took me from near cripple in poir health to Crossfit Open 2nd place 60+ althelete in my country. 175 body weight squats and 300 sit ups fit. I have since taken it to 1 meal a day in a 1 hour window and total carmivour. My atheletic preformance and health markers are now even better. I am now 68 years old and are an elite lifter, have not had any medications or had so much as a common cold in 4 or 5 years.
The fitness people have been targeting mostly the young group, they're are just for show. Dr. Fung, I'm living proof you're curing people's chronic illnesses, preventing potential one's and saving lives. Thank you so much!
That’s very true. And for young people, “calories in, calories out” will work temporarily, but they will wreak havoc with their bodies in the long run. Dr Fung’s approach instead heals the body. Following his advice will work for everyone, not just people in their 20’s. They’ll learn in time.
Dr. Fung has changed my life. He explained things in a way that really makes sense. I was obese and couldn't stop binge eating. I was seeing a psychiatrist and thought nothing would help me stop gorging. It was my high sugar and high refined carb diet that kept me from gaining control. Who would ever believe eating much less, healthier food, less often would help me actually feel full?! I've already lost 10lbs, completely natural, and it hasn't been painful at all! I know I'll get back down to a healthy BMI because I have control of the insatiable drive to eat.
I am astoundingly impressed by Dr Jason Fung's deep understanding of this subject. He is amazingly sensitive and compassionate. This world is definitely a better place because of Dr Jason Fung
Thanks to Dr Fung I’ve lost 20 kilos over two years I’ve cut down the carbs no bread no pasta and I use cauliflower rice which is delicious I now enjoy exercise more then ever because I don’t carry so much weigh , I sleep better I’ve stopped snoring I have so much energy and my BP is normal and no more medication I feel so positive and so proud of the way I look I was a waist 38 now 32 I am 66 years of age and I feel like a young boy again
You sound like my husband her did as Dr Fung said by cutting down on his carbs and eating 2x day. Lost 50lbs, no longer on high blood pressure meds,no more sleep apnea, snoring, pain in his ankle that he shattered in his twenties. He feels better now at 75 than when he was in his 50s ! Congratulations continue following Dr Fung and some other really good Dr on TH-cam.
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for over 50 years. I used to tell people that I eat a single meal most days. Usual response from people my age or older: “As a diabetic you must eat SIX SMALL MEALS A DAY!” I have never met anyone so dogmatic about any religion. Of course nobody could give a reason apart from how it’s essential to eat that way to keep my blood glucose constant. I told them I’d need to take insulin either before or after every small meal. Didn’t shake anyone’s faith in SIX SMALL MEALS. Now I mostly just don’t talk about my eating habits. Usually best to keep my big mouth shut.
I am a 65 y. o. Woman. I too have always eaten omd since my childhood. My weight has always been healthy & stable. During my 1st pregnancy I did gain 25 lbs but lost it in a 3 month time frame after our son was born. My mother always loved breakfast and wanted me to eat before going to school, I hated breakfast and I do not routinely care for sweets, fruit is very sweet to my pallette! I crave salty or tart foods. I've come to the conclusion that I have more sweet receptors than the average person. This is a blessing but since I HAD high blood pressure salty foods weren't my friends! Lol .... the keto diet has allowed me to loose 13 lbs & CURE MY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! I no longer need any bp meds! MY HUSBAND'S TYPE 2 diabetes has improved to the point that his blood sugar is under great control & he is only on one med now. My problem is I tried to drop one of the two thyroid meds I have taken for 45 years and ....needless to say I could not stay awake and had to abandon the attempt. I am now concentrating on getting more iodine containing foods and it is helping my energy level! I HAVE Hashemotos and low thyroid. I am searching for a cure for both.
I am type 2 diabetic and my doctor told me to eat 6 meals a day. I barely eat 500-1700 calories a day for years and I am obese. I don't gain but I don't lose. I tried to eat that 6 meals a day but I just can't. I eat 1 meal a day then snack on cheese sticks or have peanut butter crackers. I wish I could figure out why i don't lose weight.
I'm interested to know. Diagnosed late onset adult diabetic. Sux. My doc says I should just dial the insulin to suit the carbs....and I just don't want to do this.
@Koakoa45 Crackers are high in carbs, cut the carbs as Dr Fung mentions. I was a carb lover, cheese and crackers, cut the crackers. I do not buy the so NO TEMPTATIONS. All the best
I spoke to a nutritionist not long ago. She thought the whole fasting thing was nonsense and unhealthy. So I told her my simplified take that fat is stored surplus energy which your body can access in times when there is little or no food. She did not agree, she went on and said that the body would consume muscle and not the fat.... I pitty her clients.
Doctors say the same about nutritionists, that they’re full of nonsense and some of their methods are unhealthy. I stopped going to nutritionist because it’s expensive in buying their supplements. I’ll stick with the fasting and it’s been working for me!
I would have asked her, "If what you say is true why is bariatric surgery the only thing medically proven to repair a damaged metabolism? Also why can type 1 diabetics eat 10,000 calories a day and never store fat?"
Don’t believe what nutritionist saying, they’re worried about loosing money. Thanks to DR. Fung I lost 35 pounds and still loosing. And I didn’t loose any of my muscles. So keep following DR Fung, his great 👍. Thanks again DR Fung👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Dr. Fung! I've lost 62 lbs gain and my A1c down from 6.8 to 5.8 and still dropping both weight and A1C. A couple of tweaks I've made to accomplish this: Switched to cauliflower rice from white and brown; eating window 4-6 hours and sometimes OMAD; drinking 1T Braggs apple cider vinegar in a tall glass of water to keep glucose and insulin spikes lower; wearing a Freestyle Libre CGM so I can see in real time what different foods do to my body. I feel healthy, fit, active and have zero pain, plus clarity of mind I haven't experienced in decades! I'll turn 59 tomorrow and won't have to die young. THANK YOU!

I love listening to anything with Dr. Fung and he has saved my life. He does not know me but he saved my life when I found out that I was diabetic and I thought I was going to die within three days of praying Dr. Funk came up on my TH-cam channel and it was from that first moment of listening to him that my life completely changed and I began a new path and I am no longer a diabetic and it hasn’t even been a year. It took me three months Only to change my score and I cannot thank him enough and I follow him. I listen to him I listen to every podcast he’s on I’m going to probably listen to this one 50 times I don’t know but this is a really good one so thank you so much for having him on your show and talking about this because it’s important that people realize how people can make others look like terrible just because they want to have more people watch the shows
Dr Fung, thank you sir, I have lost over 50lbs in 5 months by fasting and eating whole food plant based and I'm 51 year of age. My bp med is almost discontinued, heart palpitations gone and fasting blood sugar/A1C is great!!! This works,period!!!! You helped me tremendously Sir! Your the best!!!!
Very well done. You are an inspiration to me. I am in the same age range and know that it takes time and a good plan. So, now I have a plan, I have 6 weeks in, and in 7 or so months I may have a similar result. Yea. But I will call it 48 pounds, it sounds like more.
My knees are really bothering me too, so I can relate. I started IF just this Wednesday, Mar. 29/23, to try to get rid of my knee pain. I’m hoping to get the same results as you, and reading your comment gives me some hope. Thank you and congratulations.
Thank you for having Dr. Fung on today! His work has really clarified my understanding of the function of insulin in my weight challenges. I now fast regularly 18-22 hours a day and finally seeing the scale drop as well as reversing insulin resistance.
@@leighannholsenback375 This might help, another long talk but lots of information. Dr Pradip Jamnadas said this 3 years ago in a lecture to some doctors “Fasting For Survival Lecture Dr Pradip Jamnadas”. He breaks it down in such detailed. He’s the best. Other doctors are now catching on and listening. th-cam.com/video/RuOvn4UqznU/w-d-xo.html
@@leighannholsenback375 I'm not this person you asked, but I also rotate between 18-6 and 20-4. To break my fast I have 1/2 an avocado, 2 eggs and a handful of blueberries, plus black coffee. Dinner is what ever protein, and a salad. I eat either 1 pm to 7pm or 3pm to 7pm. I stop eating at least 3 hrs before bed.
Lost 12 lbs this week. My energy is up, my ADHD symptoms are down (not nonexistent, but much improved!). My anxiety and depression symptoms are gone for the last 3 weeks. 🥰
Mental disorders are also metabolic ones. We are completely what we eat!. My anxiety and depression is also nigh on gone. Also my tics have also improved considerably.
Agree, out of all the longevity, health, diet etc. gurus/influencers his message and strategy is the most simplistic and he looks the best. I think there is something in that! 😊
Dr Fung is the BEST ever! So down to Earth, easy to understand, intelligent and his hard work is for FREE. God bless you Dr Fung for ever n ever!🙏🙏🙏Thank you😇🤩😁💝💝💝
Dr Fung is the most generous with his knowledge and his easy explanation of why and how we can improve our health. Please ask him not to stop helping people.
Thank you for interviewing Dr Fung. I started listening to him 7 months ago. His wisdom on hormones , fasting, & exercise has changed my lifestyle & have finally been able to get healthier & loose weight.
I found a talk by him at the end of last summer. Changed over to fasting and low carbohydrate no sugar and I’m down 55 pounds now. Lower than I ever got before. Sustainable and permanent.
@@dublbz1 same. I found him Jan of this year. Went low carb and started IF, down 45 lbs. I have tons of energy, sleep better, bp is back to normal, migraines gone, and generally in a better mood. Completely sustainable and a permanent change in my life.
Spot on Dr.Fung. The calories mantra keeps getting churned out. Overweight people should stay away from the nut cases who think they are super fit and super thin . Your a positive force. Decent and helpful. Your not selling anything that is why I appreciate and admire you.
I love him. He gets it and that is so rare in our health care system. We're negative because they lied to us, and it mattered. We paid them for answers. They gave us problems that largely lined their pockets. The trust is gone. I can't believe they haven't tried to discredit you. Hard to argue with the truth. It just seems to live. Thanks for all you do. Much appreciated.
I absolutely am grateful to have found Dr. Fung. From someone who has yo yo’d dieted all my adult life and was a calorie counting fanatic, it’s such a blessing to not have to worry about it and still lose weight. -30 lbs lost so far! Thank you 😚
Dr Fung is thinking outside the box.. the way he explains the things about calories, about intermittent fasting are so relevant..He has a great respect of the body..So yes, listen to our body, and talk with your heart and with your wisdom and past experiences..For me Intermittent fasting is a Blessing..it’s a powerful tool that will make you healthy and even more. Thank you Dr Jason Fung for your powerful insights..My body is so happy !! Let’s honor our body. It’s our Temple…
I couldn’t agree more…once I focused on healthy foods that kept me satisfied & stop focusing so much on calories I lost over 100 lbs & kept it off for 5 years…hormones matter more
@Gemini86 I stick with quality meats/fish & eggs with seasonal veggies with very little fruit. Not a struggle to stay weight stable, healthy or full. This way of eating keeps me so satiated that I naturally just fast
Dr Fung is the most empathetic doctor I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. He knows his stuff. He also knows there is more to a person then their putter shell. Let’s try people kinda.
No one in the world like Dr Jason Fung I follow and believe him,very sincere and secure and what he says I cannot compare him to anyone else. He’s careful when he responds and makes sure that his knowledge is there, if he doesn’t know of something he would say I don’t know. He’s the best! God bless him
I’ve lost all my weight 75 pounds and reversed my fatty liver and now it’s about the keto-low carb lifestyle. Thank you, Dr. Fung! I sneak in a Diet Pepsi once in a while for my food slip. I know it’s bad. 😃
God has used Dr Fung to save my mother’s life and has improved my health tremendously. God bless you Dr. Fung and keep up this great job of enlightening us !! Thank you.
Thank you Max for having Dr Fung. I have had so many issues with perimenopause and inflammation. IF is the way to go be honest and I agree calories in and out is not totally true.
I could eat an 8oz steak or an 8 oz piece of cake, but the steak is waaay more satisfying, and I can go for several hours without eating. The cake WON’T satisfy me and I will just want more.
I just started hearing Dr Fung and I love him I finally understand I've been yoyoing diet for the majority of life. And the fact is eat healthy don't eat sugar. Your craving ice cream donuts etc just eat some healthy protein veggies and just be merry the body will do the rest... I love this
His book the obesity code explained in easy terms what happens…it’s so mind blowing that it’s just that easy!…fixing my meatbolic syndrome doing one 42 fast every 5 days and 18:6 otherwise…appetite is slightly less but im eating for nutrition
I am a double board certified physician and we were taught wrongly in Diabetes management. Being a type 2 I lost 140 lbs on Dr Fungs protocol. Thank you for my new life
Thank-you Dr Fung love to hear the insanity of counting just calories. I work with doctors that ask me how I am losing weight. I tell them it’s time, not calories . They look at me and say “it’s always calories in and out’ and I say well I don’t count them. I am picking healthier foods because the longer I stay away from it the easier it gets and my body is burning the fat and stored glucose, and there is a lot of it right now. They are using those prepackaged foods, but I say what is going to happen when you stop buying that food? the weight will just come back. No more temporary, expensive tactics, fasting has let my body rest from all that trash food sold to us on all that insane advertising. You start feeling alive again and in control of your life, and best of all it’s free.
I loved this compilation it was interesting it was honest and it was lovely to hear two people have an intelligent conversation without trashing or trolling anything or anyone - loved it - thank you so much made the morning traffic grind go by so quickly
People in the 1920's and 30's were working harder too! Housewives were using wringer washing machines and hanging clothes on the line and mopping their floors by hand instead of using machines. There was just more work to every day living then than there is now.
Yes very true. We live in an obesogenic environment….sedentary jobs, endless technological gadgets to occupy our free time, and automated machines for anything that requires effort. Then add in ultra processed food that gets you hooked that is available 24/7. No wonder the world is getting fatter.
Dr. Fung puts so much common sense into weight loss. I really appreciate this, and providing so much simplicity without hype or trying to sell us something & doing this for free is so refreshing!
We were trained as kids to eat 3 meals a day, and we train our kids to eat 3 meals a day. Hunger has little to do with it, its the habit that needs to be addressed. How many people eat only because the clock tells them to eat? I know I did.
Me too. I literally feel like something is off or wrong without dinner, even if I’m not hungry. It’s like I don’t know what to do so I eat, because that’s what I have done all my life. The momentum of habit is stronger than intention or desire to change
This doctor is so encouraging. Such good info on real solutions. I did Dr Mindy's 72 hr sardine challenge and it helped with curbing sugar cravings so fasting is not as horrific or torturous as I thought it would be.
It's 9th day with OMAD. Now I could avoid eating food in front of me, it's tough, I think it may take another 30 days to adjust and regain energy level. 90kg weight right now. Trying to adopt it as a lifestyle.....
I am SO glad to see Dr Fung getting the attention he deserves. He was the first one who was BRAVE ENOUGH to challenge the whole diet and weight loss culture. He has helped me a lot.
I hate when some keto people tell people not to fast because it’s bad for you they go against doctor Fung who has a practice and a degree and he is helping so many people. It has been proven that fasting can be very healing for the body I can’t stand when they criticize this doctor I really am going to unfollow those people who criticize him.
Don’t be to hard on them, they quite haven’t got it yet. Just like me I totally believed everything they told us about the Covid vaccines that they were good, now we’re finding out different. Give them time hopefully they one day will open their eyes and see that fasting is good for us.
Dr Fung is so kind and diplomatic. I’m skinny, but my husband is overweight. When we grew up, I was bombarded with large meals every day, but my husband never had enough food. I think some of it’s caused by food deprivation when people are growing up, now, as adults they eat as much as they can, while they can. 🤔
I’m so torn. Fitness ppl who takes protein powder all the time told me I should not skip my breakfast even if I’m not hungry as it will slow down my metabolism and affect my muscle mass but I trust Dr fung advice
I was born in 54. We ate many times a day growing up on the farm . Early breakfast then milked and fed the cows. Snack mid morning went back out cleaned the barn by fork and shovel. Ate dinner(noon) back outside worked in the field had snack(usually sandwhich and sweets) around 3pm cont in field til 5 fed and milked cows again. Came in had supper. Got bath for bed had snack before bed. We stayed thin. As the years went on things became more automated and we were told fat we were eating was bad. The combination made us all gain weight. Blamed it on having kids and getting older.. Dr fung is spot on
Love Dr. Fung and his common sense approach to weight loss. This series of interviews recorded at different times basically goes over the same questions multiple times and I was baffled why the interviewer would do this. I could only watch half way thru this because of the time wasting factor.
Agree for sure. Funny thing when I was a young person no one hardly was overweight and none of us paid any attention to calories , carbs, how much or what we ate SO yes as Dt aging said it’s a systems problem - we weren’t set up to be overweight and we weren’t and now society is
Oh Dr we Love. You!! God as my witness I don't eat after 6 pm. And eat between. 12 to 6 pm. I stop eating fried foods; low carb; junk food;. Desserts !! But the weight is so slow to come off!! Thank you for the respect you give to us. I'm 69 maybe my metabolism is just slow? Thanks
Try some longer fasts. 24 hours once a week. Maybe eventually do 36 hours once a week. I go from 8 pm Monday to 8am wed once a week. By Wednesday morning, I don’t even want to eat food and I’m completely energized and focused . I’ve lost 16 lbs in 2 months, and I’m 10 lbs from my goal. Fasting is the key and it’s unbelievably good for your health too.
I’ve been to a specialist for weight loss because I was gaining SO much weight and my family doctor referred me to the specialist. All he said to me was to keep track of my calories for one week and went back to see him. No other tests. He told me to stay at 1700 calories per day but I still didn’t drop any weight. He told me to eat less calories and I was still gaining. He said “ummmm I don’t know what went wrong” so I stopped seeing him. My husband kept saying there must be something else other than counting calories. After watching Dr. Fung’s videos, I went for tests and I found out that I’m diabetic and high cortisol levels. I’m glad I found these videos or the specialist will just give me the “what went wrong?” All he told me was to reduce calories. Thank you Dr. Fung
Thank you Dr you have helped me so much m hubby and. Have lost 20 lbs nd ppt it oo3 years Akko you low carb and intermediate fasting. But now I’m stuck e swim 3 days a week for 1hour . We do 16 hours fasting daily. We have been eating more bad carbs I’m sure that’s whhyyim stuck . ❤️

I tried to eat that 6 meals a day but I just can't. I eat 1 meal a day then snack on cheese sticks or have peanut butter crackers. I wish I could figure out why i don't lose weight.
I'm interested to know. Diagnosed late onset adult diabetic. Sux. My doc says I should just dial the insulin to suit the carbs....and I just don't want to do this.
@Koakoa45 Crackers are high in carbs, cut the carbs as Dr Fung mentions. I was a carb lover, cheese and crackers, cut the crackers. I do not buy the so NO TEMPTATIONS. All the best
Love how sensible and down to earth and non-egotistical Jason is 😊
I spoke to a nutritionist not long ago. She thought the whole fasting thing was nonsense and unhealthy. So I told her my simplified take that fat is stored surplus energy which your body can access in times when there is little or no food. She did not agree, she went on and said that the body would consume muscle and not the fat.... I pitty her clients.
Doctors say the same about nutritionists, that they’re full of nonsense and some of their methods are unhealthy. I stopped going to nutritionist because it’s expensive in buying their supplements. I’ll stick with the fasting and it’s been working for me!
I would have asked her, "If what you say is true why is bariatric surgery the only thing medically proven to repair a damaged metabolism? Also why can type 1 diabetics eat 10,000 calories a day and never store fat?"
So ignorant. They don’t get this taught in medical school.
Maybe after you lost all your fat you might burn calories.
Don’t believe what nutritionist saying, they’re worried about loosing money. Thanks to DR. Fung I lost 35 pounds and still loosing. And I didn’t loose any of my muscles. So keep following DR Fung, his great 👍. Thanks again DR Fung👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
@@D_A_Marv if your successful you won’t need her that fuels their response!
Dr.Fung just helps us to get out of The Matrix.
God Bless Him! 🙏✨
After me “dieting” without success for over 50 years, your comment above is so well said. Sooo true. Thanks.
Thank you, Dr. Fung! I've lost 62 lbs gain and my A1c down from 6.8 to 5.8 and still dropping both weight and A1C. A couple of tweaks I've made to accomplish this: Switched to cauliflower rice from white and brown; eating window 4-6 hours and sometimes OMAD; drinking 1T Braggs apple cider vinegar in a tall glass of water to keep glucose and insulin spikes lower; wearing a Freestyle Libre CGM so I can see in real time what different foods do to my body. I feel healthy, fit, active and have zero pain, plus clarity of mind I haven't experienced in decades! I'll turn 59 tomorrow and won't have to die young. THANK YOU!
I’m considering a cgm to monitor glucose, do you feel it works well for you ??
Proud of you
So AWESOME!!
@@Stephenmichaelwellness what’s a cgm
@@stephaniesamra7960 continuous glucose meter. It is attached to your arm so you do not have to prick your fingers to get a reading. One CGM lasts for 14 days.
I love listening to anything with Dr. Fung and he has saved my life. He does not know me but he saved my life when I found out that I was diabetic and I thought I was going to die within three days of praying Dr. Funk came up on my TH-cam channel and it was from that first moment of listening to him that my life completely changed and I began a new path and I am no longer a diabetic and it hasn’t even been a year. It took me three months Only to change my score and I cannot thank him enough and I follow him. I listen to him I listen to every podcast he’s on I’m going to probably listen to this one 50 times I don’t know but this is a really good one so thank you so much for having him on your show and talking about this because it’s important that people realize how people can make others look like terrible just because they want to have more people watch the shows
Dr Fung, thank you sir, I have lost over 50lbs in 5 months by fasting and eating whole food plant based and I'm 51 year of age. My bp med is almost discontinued, heart palpitations gone and fasting blood sugar/A1C is great!!! This works,period!!!! You helped me tremendously Sir! Your the best!!!!
That's really awesome!!
I'm 71 and over the past 8 months I've lost 22kg, mostly through intermittent fasting.
Very well done. You are an inspiration to me. I am in the same age range and know that it takes time and a good plan. So, now I have a plan, I have 6 weeks in, and in 7 or so months I may have a similar result. Yea. But I will call it 48 pounds, it sounds like more.
Could you share what have you been eating as you follow intermittent fasting?
Been fasting 20 hours a day since May 2022, lost 20 pounds so far and my knee pain is gone! Thank you for this great information!
Your knee is gone?! 😂
How many meals do you eat in the 4 hour window?
@@cristinacaministeanurealtor 1 meal, 1 snack, and a coffee with creamer.
That sounds great. Was it eating for a 4hr window.. sounds hard, but I reckon you get into routine. Are you still at it???
My knees are really bothering me too, so I can relate. I started IF just this Wednesday, Mar. 29/23, to try to get rid of my knee pain. I’m hoping to get the same results as you, and reading your comment gives me some hope. Thank you and congratulations.
Thank you for having Dr. Fung on today! His work has really clarified my understanding of the function of insulin in my weight challenges. I now fast regularly 18-22 hours a day and finally seeing the scale drop as well as reversing insulin resistance.
Can you share with me what your eating or when you are eating… I surely need some help
@@leighannholsenback375 This might help, another long talk but lots of information. Dr Pradip Jamnadas said this 3 years ago in a lecture to some doctors “Fasting For Survival Lecture Dr Pradip Jamnadas”. He breaks it down in such detailed. He’s the best. Other doctors are now catching on and listening. th-cam.com/video/RuOvn4UqznU/w-d-xo.html
@@leighannholsenback375 I'm not this person you asked, but I also rotate between 18-6 and 20-4. To break my fast I have 1/2 an avocado, 2 eggs and a handful of blueberries, plus black coffee. Dinner is what ever protein, and a salad. I eat either 1 pm to 7pm or 3pm to 7pm. I stop eating at least 3 hrs before bed.
Beautiful. Way to go!
Lost 12 lbs this week. My energy is up, my ADHD symptoms are down (not nonexistent, but much improved!). My anxiety and depression symptoms are gone for the last 3 weeks. 🥰
You go girl!!! 👏👏🔥🙌
Mental disorders are also metabolic ones. We are completely what we eat!. My anxiety and depression is also nigh on gone. Also my tics have also improved considerably.
Dr. Fung looks younger every time I see him. What a testimoney to his health practices!
How old is he?
@@sharonallison8991 Apparently, he was born in 1973. If that's true, then he turns 49 this year.
Agree, out of all the longevity, health, diet etc. gurus/influencers his message and strategy is the most simplistic and he looks the best. I think there is something in that! 😊
Yes, agree! He's living evidence of his methods!
Yeah! He looks 14
Dr Fung is the BEST ever! So down to Earth, easy to understand, intelligent and his hard work is for FREE. God bless you Dr Fung for ever n ever!🙏🙏🙏Thank you😇🤩😁💝💝💝
Dr Fung is the most generous with his knowledge and his easy explanation of why and how we can improve our health. Please ask him not to stop helping people.
Thank you for interviewing Dr Fung. I started listening to him 7 months ago. His wisdom on hormones , fasting, & exercise has changed my lifestyle & have finally been able to get healthier & loose weight.
I couldn't agree more Doctor fung brilliant what he talks about works 100% i am personally living proof.
why other Doctor's don't get it.
I found a talk by him at the end of last summer. Changed over to fasting and low carbohydrate no sugar and I’m down 55 pounds now. Lower than I ever got before. Sustainable and permanent.
@@dublbz1 yes its works brilliantly ben.
@@dublbz1 same. I found him Jan of this year. Went low carb and started IF, down 45 lbs. I have tons of energy, sleep better, bp is back to normal, migraines gone, and generally in a better mood. Completely sustainable and a permanent change in my life.
I really like Dr Fung and his practices. I commend you on the great questions for him to get the most out of the interview.
Couldn't thank Dr. Fung enough. Easily lost 30 lbs in 2 years and have kept it off after following his 16:8 fasting guidelines.
Me too!!! -30 lbs lost since 10/2021 and kept it off with 16:8 fasting!! 🤗
@@EmilyLucille523 and what do you eat ?
@@mariamoraismorais3560 I eat whatever I want in my eating window but I have noticed I don’t gain when I stay away from processed and sugary snacks.
I tried IF and it didn't work for me. I have developed bulimia and still didn't lose weight
Spot on Dr.Fung. The calories mantra keeps getting churned out.
Overweight people should stay away from the nut cases who think they are super fit and super thin .
Your a positive force.
Decent and helpful.
Your not selling anything that is why I appreciate and admire you.
I love him. He gets it and that is so rare in our health care system. We're negative because they lied to us, and it mattered. We paid them for answers. They gave us problems that largely lined their pockets. The trust is gone. I can't believe they haven't tried to discredit you. Hard to argue with the truth. It just seems to live. Thanks for all you do. Much appreciated.
The trust is gone.
WOW!!! What Dr Fung said in the first 3 minutes of this interview!!! Such a knowledgeable and COMPASSIONATE Doctor!!!
First time watching your programs. Dr. Fung is a fountain of information and a great guest on your show.
He is the one who opened up the world of intermittent fasting to me
Dr Fung is so kind and wise. Thank you for helping me understand the science. You are a great teacher.
I absolutely am grateful to have found Dr. Fung. From someone who has yo yo’d dieted all my adult life and was a calorie counting fanatic, it’s such a blessing to not have to worry about it and still lose weight. -30 lbs lost so far! Thank you 😚
I love this doctor!! He speaks the truth and actually cares about people and their health!!
Dr Fung is thinking outside the box.. the way he explains the things about calories, about intermittent fasting are so relevant..He has a great respect of the body..So yes, listen to our body, and talk with your heart and with your wisdom and past experiences..For me Intermittent fasting is a Blessing..it’s a powerful tool that will make you healthy and even more. Thank you Dr Jason Fung for your powerful insights..My body is so happy !! Let’s honor our body. It’s our Temple…
You should read Dr. Fung’s books if you love his videos. As he says, they are probably in your library, if not, ask why not. He’s a genius.
I couldn’t agree more…once I focused on healthy foods that kept me satisfied & stop focusing so much on calories I lost over 100 lbs & kept it off for 5 years…hormones matter more
@Gemini86 I stick with quality meats/fish & eggs with seasonal veggies with very little fruit. Not a struggle to stay weight stable, healthy or full. This way of eating keeps me so satiated that I naturally just fast
@@missboone8144 what time did you eat or time frame? Did you skip days of eating?
Dr Fung is the most empathetic doctor I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. He knows his stuff. He also knows there is more to a person then their putter shell. Let’s try people kinda.
No one in the world like Dr Jason Fung
I follow and believe him,very sincere and secure and what he says I cannot compare him to anyone else.
He’s careful when he responds and makes sure that his knowledge is there, if he doesn’t know of something he would say I don’t know. He’s the best! God bless him
I’ve lost all my weight 75 pounds and reversed my fatty liver and now it’s about the keto-low carb lifestyle. Thank you, Dr. Fung! I sneak in a Diet Pepsi once in a while for my food slip. I know it’s bad. 😃
Omg diet Pepsi is my weakness and diet door beer
Intermittent fasting + low carb healthy fat is the winning combination for weight lost. Keeps insulin down and burns fast like crazy!
How long did it take you to reverse fatty liver?
God has used Dr Fung to save my mother’s life and has improved my health tremendously. God bless you Dr. Fung and keep up this great job of enlightening us !! Thank you.
Love dr. Fung! I have improved my health following his advice! He is very knowledgeable and compassionate!
Dr. Fung's work speaks for itself. Much love to him for sharing & helping me lose 45 lbs & getting my health back in a happy, high-carb way!
Thank you Max for having Dr Fung. I have had so many issues with perimenopause and inflammation. IF is the way to go be honest and I agree calories in and out is not totally true.
I could eat an 8oz steak or an 8 oz piece of cake, but the steak is waaay more satisfying, and I can go for several hours without eating. The cake WON’T satisfy me and I will just want more.
I just started hearing Dr Fung and I love him I finally understand I've been yoyoing diet for the majority of life. And the fact is eat healthy don't eat sugar. Your craving ice cream donuts etc just eat some healthy protein veggies and just be merry the body will do the rest... I love this
You are the best Dr .. being a doctor myself I have learned so much . Thank you n love you
Dr Fung makes so much sense. Thanks for the interview.
I love Dr Fung. He explains everything so clearly.
Esteem and respect
to Dr J Fung.
Very much appreciated.
Best regards from Italy
🍀💖🕊️☀️
Absolutely think Dr Fung is a star, his compassion, intelligence and humour is inspiring..thank you Sir🎉
We Love you Dr. Fong !!! Thank you for what do you do for us. Intermittent fasting it’s working for me🙏🙏❤️
Dr fung is the best . He knows what he is talking about i agree with him fasting is the best thing u can do to improve your health 👍
His book the obesity code explained in easy terms what happens…it’s so mind blowing that it’s just that easy!…fixing my meatbolic syndrome doing one 42 fast every 5 days and 18:6 otherwise…appetite is slightly less but im eating for nutrition
The interviewer said that they were running out of time like 20-minutes into the interview and I see there's more than an hour left to the video.
I am a double board certified physician and we were taught wrongly in Diabetes management. Being a type 2 I lost 140 lbs on Dr Fungs protocol. Thank you for my new life
Thank-you Dr Fung love to hear the insanity of counting just calories. I work with doctors that ask me how I am losing weight. I tell them it’s time, not calories . They look at me and say “it’s always calories in and out’ and I say well I don’t count them. I am picking healthier foods because the longer I stay away from it the easier it gets and my body is burning the fat and stored glucose, and there is a lot of it right now. They are using those prepackaged foods, but I say what is going to happen when you stop buying that food? the weight will just come back. No more temporary, expensive tactics, fasting has let my body rest from all that trash food sold to us on all that insane advertising. You start feeling alive again and in control of your life, and best of all it’s free.
I loved this compilation it was interesting it was honest and it was lovely to hear two people have an intelligent conversation without trashing or trolling anything or anyone - loved it - thank you so much made the morning traffic grind go by so quickly
People in the 1920's and 30's were working harder too! Housewives were using wringer washing machines and hanging clothes on the line and mopping their floors by hand instead of using machines. There was just more work to every day living then than there is now.
Yes very true. We live in an obesogenic environment….sedentary jobs, endless technological gadgets to occupy our free time, and automated machines for anything that requires effort. Then add in ultra processed food that gets you hooked that is available 24/7. No wonder the world is getting fatter.
Dr. Fung you have changed my life!!
We need more Dr like Dr Fung 🙏🏾 🙌 👏🏾
Love Dr. Fung. He saved my life. This presenter is totally into his looks. Don’t listen to him. I am only watching for Dr. Fung.
💛Dr F the louder they boo the better YOU are
Dr Fung is the best!!!
Tnx doctor fung🎉🎉❤
Thank you Dr Fung you’re beyond intelligent and helpful
Dr. Fung puts so much common sense into weight loss. I really appreciate this, and providing so much simplicity without hype or trying to sell us something & doing this for free is so refreshing!
We were trained as kids to eat 3 meals a day, and we train our kids to eat 3 meals a day. Hunger has little to do with it, its the habit that needs to be addressed. How many people eat only because the clock tells them to eat? I know I did.
Me too. I literally feel like something is off or wrong without dinner, even if I’m not hungry. It’s like I don’t know what to do so I eat, because that’s what I have done all my life. The momentum of habit is stronger than intention or desire to change
This doctor is so encouraging. Such good info on real solutions. I did Dr Mindy's 72 hr sardine challenge and it helped with curbing sugar cravings so fasting is not as horrific or torturous as I thought it would be.
👍🏽👍🏽 Dr Fung is the best out there are far as the science 🧬 behind true permanent weight loss and health!
It's 9th day with OMAD. Now I could avoid eating food in front of me, it's tough, I think it may take another 30 days to adjust and regain energy level. 90kg weight right now. Trying to adopt it as a lifestyle.....
I am swinging between 82 to 85kgs . You must be "too much" focused on target 🎯.
I am SO glad to see Dr Fung getting the attention he deserves. He was the first one who was BRAVE ENOUGH to challenge the whole diet and weight loss culture. He has helped me a lot.
I thought it was Dr Atkins and he got a lot of backlash from everyone!
I love Dr Fung!!! I love your work, thank you so much!
God bless this amazing man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hate when some keto people tell people not to fast because it’s bad for you they go against doctor Fung who has a practice and a degree and he is helping so many people.
It has been proven that fasting can be very healing for the body I can’t stand when they criticize this doctor I really am going to unfollow those people who criticize him.
Don’t be to hard on them, they quite haven’t got it yet. Just like me I totally believed everything they told us about the Covid vaccines that they were good, now we’re finding out different. Give them time hopefully they one day will open their eyes and see that fasting is good for us.
Dr Fung is so kind and diplomatic. I’m skinny, but my husband is overweight. When we grew up, I was bombarded with large meals every day, but my husband never had enough food. I think some of it’s caused by food deprivation when people are growing up, now, as adults they eat as much as they can, while they can. 🤔
Thank you so much, you helped me so much and I share your videos with so many people. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
I’m so torn. Fitness ppl who takes protein powder all the time told me I should not skip my breakfast even if I’m not hungry as it will slow down my metabolism and affect my muscle mass but I trust Dr fung advice
If they're working out all the time and you're not, what those fitness people say doesn't apply the same.
Intermittent fasting helps your body clean out damaged cells and fat, and eats up excess skin, so you don't end up with saggy skin after losing weight
I was born in 54. We ate many times a day growing up on the farm . Early breakfast then milked and fed the cows. Snack mid morning went back out cleaned the barn by fork and shovel. Ate dinner(noon) back outside worked in the field had snack(usually sandwhich and sweets) around 3pm cont in field til 5 fed and milked cows again. Came in had supper. Got bath for bed had snack before bed. We stayed thin. As the years went on things became more automated and we were told fat we were eating was bad. The combination made us all gain weight. Blamed it on having kids and getting older.. Dr fung is spot on
Loved this interview so much information 👍🏻thanks for the respectful comments you both make when you talk about overweight people 🎉
What a great Dr.
Very inspirational, intelligent man.
A woman in TH-cam says she fasted for 50 days!!! WOW to her will power
I have taken his advice I was 17stone of muscle and I'm now a cocktail stick so happy with the results.
What a human ❤
Love Dr. Fung and his common sense approach to weight loss. This series of interviews recorded at different times basically goes over the same questions multiple times and I was baffled why the interviewer would do this.
I could only watch half way thru this because of the time wasting factor.
When I crave processed food I understand why, thank you Dr Fung. I must have eaten a processed food to have set up the craving. 🤯
Ad hominem attacks are a sign of a weak argument. Good on Dr. Fung for staying above the fray
Best DR EVER! Ty
Agree for sure. Funny thing when I was a young person no one hardly was overweight and none of us paid any attention to calories , carbs, how much or what we ate SO yes as Dt aging said it’s a systems problem - we weren’t set up to be overweight and we weren’t and now society is
👍👍thanks much dr fung for sound science & your positive attitude
I respect you both so much!! Thank you for great information💚
Oh Dr we Love. You!! God as my witness I don't eat after 6 pm. And eat between. 12 to 6 pm. I stop eating fried foods; low carb; junk food;. Desserts !! But the weight is so slow to come off!! Thank you for the respect you give to us. I'm 69 maybe my metabolism is just slow? Thanks
Try some longer fasts. 24 hours once a week. Maybe eventually do 36 hours once a week. I go from 8 pm Monday to 8am wed once a week. By Wednesday morning, I don’t even want to eat food and I’m completely energized and focused . I’ve lost 16 lbs in 2 months, and I’m 10 lbs from my goal. Fasting is the key and it’s unbelievably good for your health too.
The medical is subverted like all other systems we have today... Thank you for your honesty and knowledge, we need more like Dr. Fung.
I’ve been to a specialist for weight loss because I was gaining SO much weight and my family doctor referred me to the specialist. All he said to me was to keep track of my calories for one week and went back to see him. No other tests. He told me to stay at 1700 calories per day but I still didn’t drop any weight. He told me to eat less calories and I was still gaining. He said “ummmm I don’t know what went wrong” so I stopped seeing him. My husband kept saying there must be something else other than counting calories. After watching Dr. Fung’s videos, I went for tests and I found out that I’m diabetic and high cortisol levels. I’m glad I found these videos or the specialist will just give me the “what went wrong?” All he told me was to reduce calories. Thank you Dr. Fung
SO like the Knowledge
Dr. Fung has WOW 👏 !!
Thank you Dr you have helped me so much m hubby and. Have lost 20 lbs nd ppt it oo3 years Akko you low carb and intermediate fasting. But now I’m stuck e swim 3 days a week for 1hour . We do 16 hours fasting daily. We have been eating more bad carbs I’m sure that’s whhyyim stuck . ❤️
Water 💦 is fine for dehydration, but it’s the lack of electrolytes that need to be added. 👍🏽🧬
Dr. Jason Fung, thank you for Actually, Genuinely CARING
Thank you for sharing your important message. I appreciate your insight and knowledge.
Love both Max and Dr. Fung! Ty for posting!
