On alternate day fasting I found that going on several hour walks or cycling trips on the fasting day was effective and there was no offsetting food intake. Anyone who is overweight can never have true hunger, it is ghrelin mediated and can be quenched with some slightly salted water. Over time I found that going to a ketogenic diet helped remove any hunger on the fasting days. My weight loss experience has been the best ever in my life and I have lost 65 pounds in under eight months. I have gotten more active and there has been muscle mass gain which is partially hiding the fat loss. Intermittent fasting has to be a life style change for people with insulin resistance and pre-diabetic HbA1c. Removing the burden of bread, rice and pasta from the diet is also essential.
Do you have any tips for me... I have a physical agility test coming up. I wanted to do omad. Is it possible to do omad while training for an agility test?
Dr. Jason Fung, you gave me permission to stop eating. Thank you. My entire life I’ve been an overweight athlete. I run and lift weights and have been trying to lose weight for 20 years because I no longer needed the weight. I recently was given not so great news about my health, frustrated, i tried everything except fasting - vegan, keto, Mediterranean, CICO, lumen. I tried fasting once for 5 days in my early 20’s as a challenge to see if I could survive in the event things got tough for me financially. I survived it and forgot about it. My entire life I’ve been told that I need to eat to stay health, I need to eat to have energy, I need to eat to be successful. You told me that those mantras are not true and gave me the key to unlock my weight loss. I’ve only been fasting for a short time but I know I will reach my goal in no time. I’ve already lost 17 lbs in less than 2 weeks mixing up my fasting giving my body just enough carbs to do my sprinting. You are saving my life and adding years to my life. It will not be wasted on me. Thank you for keeping me off medication. I don’t want to contribute to the high cost of healthcare and I certainly don’t want to contribute to overwhelming our medical system.
I applaud and commend you for your desire to not want to contribute to the high cost of healthcare and overwhelming our medical system! Not everyone thinks as you, and you are a true humanitarian. I work in the hospital and see so many sick and ill patients and a majority are under age 50, bedbound, morbidly obese, going blind, on HD (hemodialysis) and it's very saddening. If they were taught Dr. Fung's wisdom, maybe there would only be a few handfuls of stand-alone HD clinics instead of thousands of them across the country. Don't get me wrong, we still need HD for other reasons, but if HD was only used for type 2 diabetes, they'd shut down.
I've known for a number of years now that the more (harder) I exercise, the hungrier I am. While training for a half marathon I gained 10 lbs over 4 months back in 2017. It was a bittersweet victory because it took me weeks after the race to get my appetite under control.
Similar situation with me. I ran an hour of hard cardio every night for the last five years. This caused me to gain 20 pounds due to continuous carbohydrate cravings. Now in just a few weeks of keto pluse active movement (using a step counter). I have lost 25 pounds. Aggressive exericse is counterproductive as we get older.
Thank you for addressing this. There’s almost no content on this topic. Personal experience tells me, the harder I workout, the hungrier I get. It’s counterproductive to weight loss. However, brisk walks along with proper diet is great for fat reduction
Always a pleasure listening to your videos Dr. Fung! I've always swam on and off my whole life. Years ago I needed to lose weight and started swimming daily to lose weight. And I did lose but as soon as my work schedule changed and I couldn't get to the pool every day, I quickly gained it all back. A little over a year ago I found your videos, read your books and have lost over 150 lbs.😁 and I'm still intermittent fasting to maintain. I started back swimming again last spring and now I swim over a mile just twice a week for averall health and I'm never hungry after I swim. I'm now lifeguarding at my pool and was talking to a man last week who is trying to lose weight and swims every day. I briefly told him my story and he was interested in learning more but doesn't do TH-cam so I brought him your The Obesity Code book to read😊. Thanks for all you do. Truly.🙏
Hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions given you’ve been so successful! Did you change your diet to keto? I don’t think I can live without bread! 😉 Was it just a case of IF (how did you deal with hunger) and that’s it or do change other habits? Thanks 😊
October 27, my life has changed forever. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was 265 pre diabetes. The dr that night said to watch your videos. I started watching that night. I went to check my A1c Jan 27,2022. I was 5.3. Which is thanks to what you’re sharing. Bless you for sharing. Not many people share. I share my journey on Facebook and tik tok. Also I’m off met for min, I have lost over 60 pounds. I still eat once sometimes twice per day. But I cut out sugar and flour. I loved my breads and pastry but my health is more important. God bless you for sharing and all glory to God I knocked out type 2 diabetes. This is huge as I lost my grandpa to diabetes, dr amputated his leg and he never come out of the hospital. My dad had that as well but had other complications. So for me to beat this, wow!!! All glory to God!!
This makes so much sense of my extreme weight loss as a teenager on restricted carbs diet and exercising for 3 hours a day for 5 days a week. I had been morbidly obese and lost 65 # when I was 14-15 y.o. That was in the ‘70s when Dr. Irwin Stillman published a book on carb restriction which I was just lucky enough to come across from a neighbor who was excited about a diet (back then everything was a fad diet) that actually worked. I’d been fat all my life and nothing had worked, especially not the advice from registered dietitian fanatics who said you must eat a big healthy high-carb breakfast every morning (oatmeal and several servings of fruit) or you just weren’t really trying to lose weight.
Thank you for this video. It just confirms my own experiences. I lost 25kg with different eating, it took me 5months.I never did any excercises at all and my loss was great every week. But the excercise /weight loss fairytale is very difficult to gsz out of the brain of people.
Dear Dr I am from India, in Aug 2021 I was having 13.5 HBA1C, after listening to your talks I started a 18:6 hour fasting window, it started working on me, thank you for your talks about diabetes
Thank you. I hate exercise. You made my day. I understand now that health is all about the diet basically and some basic light activity like walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, playing badminton. Not about crazy workouts at the gym. I hate that. I hate gym. It's a torture.This video just set me free 🤣
Building muscle mass has a lasting effect on fat percentage. (Lower weight despite muscle being heavier than fat) I was at a normal weight of 66kg for my height, zero sport. I did some moderate weight lifting and went to 62kg while increasing my food portions a bit. For my height, normal BMI range is 55-75kg. Effort to burn calories clearly doesn't work in my experience (I want to snack afterwards), but improving body strength made me move from a soft thin belly to a very lean belly. When I got bored of weightlifting and stopped, 3 months later I was back to 64kg and after 6 months with zero sports I was at 65kg. Some muscle must remain because that 65kg was significantly different on pictures than the 66kg of the start. Overall, this is far from being a game changer. Exercise isn't the way to fix obesity. It's the way to move from a slim soft body to a slim hard body.
Thanks Dr Fung I learned what "meta-analysis" means. . . . . . Heard it a lot, roughly knew the jist. . . . With your help through these videos, I'm in the mainenance phase . . . . down from 100kg, riding between 72-75kg
Thank you Dr. Fung, this was super informative. Over compensation seems like such an obvious result of exercising and homeostasis but you explained this so well. I love your channel! Thanks so much 😊💕
I do OMAD and do 2 hour hill treks fully fasted (at around the 16 hour mark), they certainly don't spike my hunger! If anything the actually dull my appetite which is good :D I can now easily go 23 hours without food or any real hunger. I'm very overweight though so my body has lots of its own fuel to use, haha
Thank You!! This is so true. When I Stopped HIIT started IF then I lost weight. This explains why I was absolutely starving after an intense work out. Stable appetite and wt loss attainable for me with mild exercise.
I workout early in the morning wile fasting. I drink one black coffee and water with real salt or with trace minerals…I drink green tea during my lunch break… I break my fast around 4:30 pm with a bone broth or a little bit protein. I have my regular meal and a “healthy dessert” at dinner around 6:00pm and Thais it. I don’t feel hungry during my fasting and my workouts are good, my muscles are there and I know I’m fixing my health. Thank you so much for all the great information!
The biggest mistake I have made in my life is to fall for the ' exercise your way out of obesity ' idea . When I was young I was very sporting and very slim , bit probably my high carb diet ( pre processed food era ) was already setting me up for hyperinsulinemia . Life got in the way of exercise and I put on weight ( mainly a carb gut ) plus I went ' wholegrain vegetarian ' . So I always tried to exercise my way out of obesity . Never really works unless you become a triathlete or something . I have always enjoyed exercise , but now if I cycle or do long distance hiking I do it for the pleasure and health benefits but not for the weight loss . Eliminating wheat and IF has done more for my waistline in a year than the previous 20 years of huff and puff . I have found that if I am IF then HIIT training ( like 10 mins hard on an exercise bike ) puts my blood sugar in my boots and makes me very hungry ( which probably shows that I am not fat adapted yet ) but lifting weights doesn't . So if I do an extended period of IF then I do the weights . Here is a way to lose weight in the short term - eat less , exercise more 🙂. Here is a way to put on weight in the long term - eat less , exercise more ☹️.
Could you please explain the last sentence? I can relate to much of what you said. I was an athlete most of my life and fell into the exercise hard /eat whatever I mentality as well.
@@MT-yx5cu Hi . I think if you look at all the good studies plus my own experience plus observation , the move more eat less model is largely based on willpower . Either your willpower breaks or exercising intensely causes some injury and then you can't exercise for a while . Result misery ! Rebound obesity is so common under the willpower model . The failure rate of the willpower model is so great that if it was a medicine it wouldn't be approved ! I have recently moved into a new phase in my keto journey - I am no longer obsessed with food ! I seem to be able to choose when I eat . This is something seriously different for me . I still have an appetite so I know that I am not constitutionally ill . If you are someone who can easily eat meat then you are in a better position than me . I didn't eat beef, pork , or lamb for over thirty years and still find it difficult . I can eat salmon , eggs , and poultry though . So my keto journey is a bit more challenging - but still very effective . I find the advice of Dr Fung , Dr Berry , and citizen activist Pastor Dennis to be life changing . Hope this helps .👍
@@MT-yx5cu Another small technical fact I forgot to mention that Dr Fung has taught me is that if you reduce calorie intake your metabolic rate will go down because your body will think that food is scarce . If you fast then your metabolic rate goes up because your body thinks that there is no food so you better get the body ready to search for food . It is this lowering of metabolic rate that leads to rebound obesity .
When in army, mess was only open at meal time & we often missed & no other food could be ordered into the base, nor could go anywhere,or buy any. Just went hungry. And no, they didn’t say next day, you can cut back on exercise.
I completely misread this in my notifications as, "Does Exercise Make Us Happy", and thought YEAH IT DOES! 😅But I do find vigorous exercise helps control my appetite.
Diane, not sure what you mean? Muscles require energy, as does our brain 🧠 (~20% total daily calories), and our other organs consume energy. Fat storage requires little energy. Of course for muscles to burn significant calories, exercise is required. Please exercise a little for your brain, heart, and immune system. I’m only 71, so I can still exercise a couple hours a day.
Fat burns no calories at all. Only muscle tissue burns energy. This is one reason we gain fat as we age (if we are sedentary). We lose muscle naturally as we age, and since it's the only tissue that burns energy, we gain fat. We can off-set that natural fat gain by maintaining our muscle mass (i.e. strength training).
I’ve found that zone 1 and zone 2 cardio, while fasted accelerates fat loss. This is likely because the metabolism is increased while fasting and you are experiencing both ketosis and gluconeogenesis due to the energy demand. At the same time, the appetite remains blunted. Returning to a normal energy consumption after the fast may keep the metabolism boosted for weight loss. The challenge is not to overeat after the fast.
I lift heavy in the mornings (fasted) and then have a high protein, moderate fat/carb breakfast about 2 hours after. I eat again whenever I get hungry (around 4ish) with the meal being just high protein and fat and then I fast dinner. I also try to do a 36 hour fast or OMAD with lots of walking on my rest days (1-2 days a week) to help burn off fat. This routine has helped me to recomp my body by building muscle but still losing fat even though it’s a much slower process than when I did alternate day fasting. When I first started lifting again I was definitely a lot hungrier though and I had to control my appetite so I know Dr. Fung is right!
I do IF 18/6. Every Sunday morning walk with friend 7:30am to 8:30am. Sometimes eat a little at 1pm, but usually wait until 3 or so. Avoid carbs, sugar, junk. Once in a while I have them, but feel yucky after. Over the summer lost 10 lbs, but am stuck now. Still, 5'6 135 lbs is not fat. Also have never had a butt. Maybe this is where my body wants to be. Would like to loose boob size without surgery, so will keep trying to lose more weight. Have to admit, since I started IF, I have never felt better. Heck, it also cuts down on grocery bills!
Age 72, been fasting and dry fasting for 9 years now, avatar picture is me at my 60 yrs of age, look pretty much the same now but thinner and more muscular. I do light exercise, I get hungry after but either power thru it or simply time it carefully with my eating - which I dont do at the same time everyday. Thx Dr Fung as always!
@@katk.8751 No I dry fast as long as possible each day, always a minimum of 12 hrs, at 14 now, then I may drink electrolyte water, later I eat if I so desire, never 3x a day, OMAD. When I got a UTI after being brutally beaten and raped in Dec, I went the natural route w/uva ursi herb, D-Mannose in electrolye water, Uricalm, but omgosh you have to drink sooo much water. So then I used my knowledge and dry fasted for 66 & 1/2 hours and it was gone, snap! The first time I did a DF for 3 days my age spot faded. Yes it returned tho it is smaller but DFing is the healer of all healers to me. That's great you did a five day!! Very freeing isnt it? As is fasting in general!
Thanks for the video. Maybe in the future you can add to this one by tying in how fasting might help with the compensation problem if your body is burning fat. Thanks again!
I agree with this. I’ve experienced an exception. I find that people I train that had large muscles in the past. As they resistance train, can make skeletal muscle gains much faster. Their hunger increases proportional to the exercise. So no calorie deficit. But as muscle size increases, their metabolism increases giving them a huge advantage when they calorie restrict and fast. It’s frustrating to others that train hard, fast properly and don’t get the same results. I read diet books. Many many diet books!!! Jason Fung’s are the best. It’s not even close. Save your time and go straight to this guys books.
I lose more weight fasting than working out but! my energy comes from working out so I learn to do both in the way I benefit from it. I workout on my fasting window.
I started exercising and weight lifting 6 months ago... at the beginning I was ravenous after each workout. at the beginning of getting into shape... now that i am more physically fit, my appetite is decreasing after the workout... I actually don't want to eat after the exercise... when I started I would come home and eat a bunch of food.... so... patience.. get in shape... getting in shape is the biggest different... I'm age 60
Exercise Induced Anerexia . Thanks for enlightening us Dr jasok as i always wondered how my hunger goes down soon after an exercise and today i got myself cleared on my doubt
People always over estimate how many calories they expend on a workout and underestimate how much they eat. Many years ago when I found out I was expecting, my dr said in the first few weeks you only need abt an additional 250 calories a day essentially a glass of milk & an apple. Not an excuse to pig out on junk food
I accept that data show what Dr Fung is saying is true. It wasn't true for me. At different times in my life when I went back to exercise, aerobics, Zumba, pump, whatever, I lost a lot of weight, which is even better than it sounds because I also built heavy lean muscle. I didn't get hunger spikes either. Now that I'm quite senior and can't work out because of injuries I keep slim with keto and intermittent fasting and that definitely works too.
I agree with you and Jason! I think the answer is what state is you body in while exercising. If one is carb addicted exercising with increase appetite. But if one is metabolically flexible or in ketosis , one can exercise and control appetite! I have completed a 45 min HIIT workout 24 hours into a fast and continued fasting for another 10 hours. I didn’t empty the fridge when I broke the fast!
I'm a rather small person. Exercise allows me to eat more food and not gain weight. It's all a matter of balance. Obviously, I still need to eat a healthy diet. If I ate tons of processed food, I couldn't move enough to burn the calories. However, my regular exercise and a moderate carbohydrate diet, I can easily maintain my weight. According to my Fitbit, I go from needing only 1200 calories a day if I don't exercise to nineteen hundred when I do. That is a big difference.
Back in the days of high school I was working out almost every day and was always extremely hungry and ate 5 times a day + snacks, it was a decent amount of food. After hurting my back I quit exercising but my appetite stayed the same and I started to gain weight. It took me some time to readjust my daily food intake to keep my weight still and reduce my appetite. I also noticed that now, even without daily workouts, if I go to swimming pool for instance or do any other activity, my appetite increases for the next day, then it becomes normal again.
Hi dialysis patient here since I was 8 years old. My dietitian‘a have always been anti fast and anti keto. Every time I mention it they call it a trend or a fad. I just ignore them and wish I could have Jason fung as my doctor.
This is my struggle. Love to exercise but makes me v hungry and negates my wt loss. Im going to curtail it until i reach my normal wt. Dont give up! IF works. I was 208 7 mths ago. Now 175. However I will not give up dancing!
i lost about 70 pounds in about 7 months by doing low carb/keto. After id lost it i started walking, in the last 12 months ive only lost another 10 pounds. I definitely eat more when i go walking
On the contrary...exercise dampens your appetite for hours to you lose weight...plus the mental health and high you get from exercise fights depression
I wrestled in highschool and the main thing that would help me lose weight was when I would not eat ! I got all the excersize I needed when I would wrestle someone else !
It would make sense that more energy expenditure would induce hunger. After all, a species whose desire for consuming energy was completely decoupled from the amount of energy that they expend would be a species that would be wiped out quite quickly. It would be like a car manufacturer producing cars in which the fuel gauge does not in anyway reflect the level of fuel in the tank. The car manufacturer would be quickly out of business when all their customers have vehicles that stall in the middle of the freeway. That is why intense exercise makes the endeavor to reduce caloric intake so difficult. While many do it, they do it by marshaling significant willpower to ignore their hunger signals. As the statistics prove, and as the avid gym goers who stay overweight year after year prove, despite a herculean effort at the gym, using exercise as a tool for weight loss is, with the exception of the most disciplined among us, an exercise in futility.
A perfect companion video would look at the compensatory response to fasting. We all know one of the common criticisms of fasting is "If you skip breakfast, it will just make you overeat at lunch". Is that really true? What if you skip breakfast and lunch? Hunger has an upper limit and so does satiety. What ratio of fasting to feeding is needed to ensure the larger meals don't overcompensate for the fasting? What if we want to maintain or even gain weight while fasting for its other benefits? I'm sure this has been covered before in your books and videos, but it would be nice to see it summed up side by side with this video.
I’ve always wondered why exercise suppresses my appetite but when I work as a massage therapist, after giving a massage therapy session, I am very very hungry and I specifically crave carbs.
I train pretty hard every day. Went to Hawaii for nine days. I still worked out but reduced by 2/3 or 3/4. I lost 6 pounds in the nine days. Blew my mind. It must have been this.
Dr. Fung, I wonder if you would care to comment or do a piece on the association / correlation (if any) between hyperinsulinemia and men's prostate health? Enjoy your channel and have devoured your books. Thanks
Absolotly true in my opinion exercise is good for healthy body and for keep every piece in body flexible and also for the mood and oxygene the cells and take out the negative energy .........ect but to loose weight we must do it with food and intermitting fasting so loose weight first than start doing exercise regulary as nice programme by choosing the nice and good time to do it without forgotten while you do your programme to keep a helthy life style 👍♥️ Thank you 😇😇😇
Thanks Dr Fung, absolutely brilliant video!! Yes I do find that intense workouts make me feel hungry! Walking and strength training doesnt increase my appetite 🤣🤣
I find when I get regular exercise my mood is so much better that I eat less. Could this be because all my exercise gives me pure joy? So I’d love to know whether there are studies that differentiate between people who consider exercise as punishment and those who feel the joy of a working body.
Thanks, i was doing half effort exercising thinking it was helping, in the past it definitely didn't. I tried a dedicated a year to this try, gym 5-6 times a week 1 to 2 hours. Medium intensity. ZERO weight loss. I was eating the weight right back in. Super disappointed. Now i'm going to try again. But high fat, protein, lower carb. OMAD. I'm 2 weeks into this but have light exercies only. Need to ramp up the loss.
When exercise each time I gained weight. Last time I gained 20 pounds. Last time I was going to gym and I had a personal trainer. Waste of money and time.
Gaining weight via exercise is not necessarily a bad thing. Building up muscles means your weight might go up as muscles are more dense than body fat. In turn, more muscle mass not only means better balance and strength but also an ability to eat more healthy foods that we love without gaining more weight in the long run. Building muscle via exercise is how I am mitigating rapid weight loss.
Weight lifting is fine to do fasted, the calories burned are negligible. Doing long intense cardio while fasted will burn a bunch of muscle and spike cortisol like crazy and make you hungrier. HIIT or moderate paced cardio where you don't breathe hard are much better for your health.
Human, it’s unlikely that you burn proteins. Our bodies recycle ♻️ 100-300 g of amino acids daily, just from replacing dead cells, etc. Our bodies are too smart to consume precious healthy muscles. Peace.
@@cps_Zen_Run You do. When I stopped running 15 miles a week my body exploded with muscle because I stopped constantly burning it. Now I bench 150 dbs and 400+ flat bench. When cortisol and insulin are high at the same time, you burn collagen. That is the main cause of cellulite in women.
When I trimmed up several years ago someone at work asked me if the training I was doing for a bike ride fundraiser was the reason for my weight loss. I said no it was my change in diet. The person seemed disappointed - I think the idea of exercising off all the fun food is very appealing to people…. Unfortunately not true
Swimming makes me hungry, that is because of the temperature difference between body and water therefore burning calories to maintain core temperature. Walking, resistance training don't.
Yep. When I was young and thin and exercised a lot, rode a bike to work it made no difference to my weight. It firmed up my body very nicely, and it meant I had endurance but my weight never changed. If it didn't affect t my weight when I was thin why would it affect my weight when I was bigger?
If you were fitter when you were younger, then you perhaps could put the same effort in for say two hrs a day, as you now use on thirty minutes a day. For me anyway, the fitter I am the more likely exercise is to kill my appetite, as opposed to increase it. However when I tried to do a similar amount after I'd healed from a broken foot, my appetite increased. I think what he's trying to say is don't rely on exercise for weight loss, and the harder the exercise is, the more you push yourself, the more likely it will be that hunger increases
I eat the most on rest days. If I don’t exercise for a few days then my appetite is ferocious for those few days and I mean huge carb and sugar cravings. Exercise seems to suppress my appetite!
When you excercise a total body maintenance must be to maintain healthy mobility Muscles Joints flexibility high fiber dried basil leaves and dried oregano leaves made into a powder added to multivitamin shake mix and wow your body work outs are maximized
This answer only applies to me but No..excercise doesn't make me hungry because I eat plenty of complex fiber meaning not just flaxseed but oregano and grains and beans fiber is not for bowels but for regulating carbs and liver maintenance and much more fiber controls your appetite by slowly breaking down food which stops your appetite for a day or two..

When I first started doing intermittent fasting, I discovered that doing a workout was an effective way to help me extend my fast.
On alternate day fasting I found that going on several hour walks or cycling trips on the fasting day was effective and there was no offsetting food intake. Anyone who is overweight can never have true hunger, it is ghrelin mediated and can be quenched with some slightly salted water.

My weight loss experience has been the best ever in my life and I have lost 65 pounds in under eight months. I have gotten more active and there has been muscle mass gain which is partially hiding the fat loss. Intermittent fasting has to be a life style change for people with insulin resistance and pre-diabetic HbA1c. Removing the burden of bread, rice and pasta from the diet is also essential.
Yes definitely, made me less hungry to go for a walk or clean. Keeping busy during your hungrier times the key
Do you have any tips for me... I have a physical agility test coming up. I wanted to do omad. Is it possible to do omad while training for an agility test?
Same here. My hunger disappears when I exercise (swim) while fasting. I also get energized.
Dr. Jason Fung, you gave me permission to stop eating. Thank you. My entire life I’ve been an overweight athlete. I run and lift weights and have been trying to lose weight for 20 years because I no longer needed the weight.

Great job, just keep doing 3-4 day fasts and you will take it as far as you wanna go.
I applaud and commend you for your desire to not want to contribute to the high cost of healthcare and overwhelming our medical system! Not everyone thinks as you, and you are a true humanitarian. I work in the hospital and see so many sick and ill patients and a majority are under age 50, bedbound, morbidly obese, going blind, on HD (hemodialysis) and it's very saddening. If they were taught Dr. Fung's wisdom, maybe there would only be a few handfuls of stand-alone HD clinics instead of thousands of them across the country. Don't get me wrong, we still need HD for other reasons, but if HD was only used for type 2 diabetes, they'd shut down.
Do you do One meal a day in your fasting or you so pure water fasting?
So let's hear an update
I've known for a number of years now that the more (harder) I exercise, the hungrier I am. While training for a half marathon I gained 10 lbs over 4 months back in 2017. It was a bittersweet victory because it took me weeks after the race to get my appetite under control.
Similar situation with me. I ran an hour of hard cardio every night for the last five years. This caused me to gain 20 pounds due to continuous carbohydrate cravings. Now in just a few weeks of keto pluse active movement (using a step counter). I have lost 25 pounds. Aggressive exericse is counterproductive as we get older.
Indeed, extreme exercise can disrupt homeostasis!
2 hrs after my workout
I'm starving!!
In 3 years have lost 150 lbs……thanks for the education!!!b
Thank you for addressing this. There’s almost no content on this topic. Personal experience tells me, the harder I workout, the hungrier I get. It’s counterproductive to weight loss.
However, brisk walks along with proper diet is great for fat reduction

Hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions given you’ve been so successful! Did you change your diet to keto? I don’t think I can live without bread! 😉 Was it just a case of IF (how did you deal with hunger) and that’s it or do change other habits? Thanks 😊
My three pillars of weight loss are:
1. Carbohydrate restriction
2. Intermittent fasting
3. Resistance training*
* 50% at/ below aerobic threshold
I love the tooth brushing analogy. Exercise is good for us. But it is not the main factor in weight loss/ weight management.
I’ve never lost weight exercising but I’ve gained muscle so my body looked more toned and still weighed almost exactly the same.
Hello Dr. Fung & Good Morning . Stay happy , healthy, wealthy and wise to everyone watching . Happy Sunday 😊🤍🌸🎀
October 27, my life has changed forever. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was 265 pre diabetes. The dr that night said to watch your videos. I started watching that night. I went to check my A1c Jan 27,2022. I was 5.3. Which is thanks to what you’re sharing. Bless you for sharing. Not many people share. I share my journey on Facebook and tik tok. Also I’m off met for min, I have lost over 60 pounds. I still eat once sometimes twice per day. But I cut out sugar and flour. I loved my breads and pastry but my health is more important. God bless you for sharing and all glory to God I knocked out type 2 diabetes. This is huge as I lost my grandpa to diabetes, dr amputated his leg and he never come out of the hospital. My dad had that as well but had other complications. So for me to beat this, wow!!! All glory to God!!
great job!
I always found that going for a long walk was a great distraction from hunger.
Walking is the best and only exercise you need to help with fat loss.
I agree with this. This is why i keep my workouts at aerobic zone. If i do intense or huffing puffing exercise i feel fatigue and very hungry.
This makes so much sense of my extreme weight loss as a teenager on restricted carbs diet and exercising for 3 hours a day for 5 days a week. I had been morbidly obese and lost 65 # when I was 14-15 y.o. That was in the ‘70s when Dr. Irwin Stillman published a book on carb restriction which I was just lucky enough to come across from a neighbor who was excited about a diet (back then everything was a fad diet) that actually worked. I’d been fat all my life and nothing had worked, especially not the advice from registered dietitian fanatics who said you must eat a big healthy high-carb breakfast every morning (oatmeal and several servings of fruit) or you just weren’t really trying to lose weight.
Unfortunatly it was fat not muscles.
Exercise is effective only for 45 mins . 3 hrs is unnecessary
Thank you for this video. It just confirms my own experiences. I lost 25kg with different eating, it took me 5months.I never did any excercises at all and my loss was great every week. But the excercise /weight loss fairytale is very difficult to gsz out of the brain of people.
Good day! Dr. Fung. Have a great day.
Dear Dr I am from India, in Aug 2021 I was having 13.5 HBA1C, after listening to your talks I started a 18:6 hour fasting window, it started working on me, thank you for your talks about diabetes
What is your HBA1C now? Just curious.
Thank you. I hate exercise. You made my day. I understand now that health is all about the diet basically and some basic light activity like walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, playing badminton. Not about crazy workouts at the gym. I hate that. I hate gym. It's a torture.This video just set me free 🤣
Weight is such a dynamic tracking system. Measuring your body will be much more accurate.
Morning Dr Fung!!..ty for all your humanitarian information 💚
Building muscle mass has a lasting effect on fat percentage. (Lower weight despite muscle being heavier than fat)
I was at a normal weight of 66kg for my height, zero sport. I did some moderate weight lifting and went to 62kg while increasing my food portions a bit. For my height, normal BMI range is 55-75kg.
Effort to burn calories clearly doesn't work in my experience (I want to snack afterwards), but improving body strength made me move from a soft thin belly to a very lean belly.
When I got bored of weightlifting and stopped, 3 months later I was back to 64kg and after 6 months with zero sports I was at 65kg. Some muscle must remain because that 65kg was significantly different on pictures than the 66kg of the start.
Overall, this is far from being a game changer. Exercise isn't the way to fix obesity. It's the way to move from a slim soft body to a slim hard body.
Thanks Dr Fung
I learned what "meta-analysis" means. . . . . . Heard it a lot, roughly knew the jist. . . .
With your help through these videos, I'm in the mainenance phase . . . . down from 100kg, riding between 72-75kg
Thank you Dr. Fung, this was super informative. Over compensation seems like such an obvious result of exercising and homeostasis but you explained this so well. I love your channel! Thanks so much 😊💕
I do OMAD and do 2 hour hill treks fully fasted (at around the 16 hour mark), they certainly don't spike my hunger! If anything the actually dull my appetite which is good :D I can now easily go 23 hours without food or any real hunger. I'm very overweight though so my body has lots of its own fuel to use, haha
Thank You!! This is so true. When I Stopped HIIT started IF then I lost weight. This explains why I was absolutely starving after an intense work out. Stable appetite and wt loss attainable for me with mild exercise.
I workout early in the morning wile fasting. I drink one black coffee and water with real salt or with trace minerals…I drink green tea during my lunch break… I break my fast around 4:30 pm with a bone broth or a little bit protein. I have my regular meal and a “healthy dessert” at dinner around 6:00pm and Thais it. I don’t feel hungry during my fasting and my workouts are good, my muscles are there and I know I’m fixing my health. Thank you so much for all the great information!
The biggest mistake I have made in my life is to fall for the ' exercise your way out of obesity ' idea . When I was young I was very sporting and very slim , bit probably my high carb diet ( pre processed food era ) was already setting me up for hyperinsulinemia .
Life got in the way of exercise and I put on weight ( mainly a carb gut ) plus I went ' wholegrain vegetarian ' . So I always tried to exercise my way out of obesity . Never really works unless you become a triathlete or something . I have always enjoyed exercise , but now if I cycle or do long distance hiking I do it for the pleasure and health benefits but not for the weight loss . Eliminating wheat and IF has done more for my waistline in a year than the previous 20 years of huff and puff . I have found that if I am IF then HIIT training ( like 10 mins hard on an exercise bike ) puts my blood sugar in my boots and makes me very hungry ( which probably shows that I am not fat adapted yet ) but lifting weights doesn't . So if I do an extended period of IF then I do the weights . Here is a way to lose weight in the short term - eat less , exercise more 🙂. Here is a way to put on weight in the long term - eat less , exercise more ☹️.
Could you please explain the last sentence? I can relate to much of what you said. I was an athlete most of my life and fell into the exercise hard /eat whatever I mentality as well.
@@MT-yx5cu Hi . I think if you look at all the good studies plus my own experience plus observation , the move more eat less model is largely based on willpower . Either your willpower breaks or exercising intensely causes some injury and then you can't exercise for a while . Result misery ! Rebound obesity is so common under the willpower model . The failure rate of the willpower model is so great that if it was a medicine it wouldn't be approved ! I have recently moved into a new phase in my keto journey - I am no longer obsessed with food ! I seem to be able to choose when I eat . This is something seriously different for me . I still have an appetite so I know that I am not constitutionally ill . If you are someone who can easily eat meat then you are in a better position than me . I didn't eat beef, pork , or lamb for over thirty years and still find it difficult . I can eat salmon , eggs , and poultry though . So my keto journey is a bit more challenging - but still very effective . I find the advice of Dr Fung , Dr Berry , and citizen activist Pastor Dennis to be life changing . Hope this helps .👍
@@MT-yx5cu Another small technical fact I forgot to mention that Dr Fung has taught me is that if you reduce calorie intake your metabolic rate will go down because your body will think that food is scarce . If you fast then your metabolic rate goes up because your body thinks that there is no food so you better get the body ready to search for food . It is this lowering of metabolic rate that leads to rebound obesity .
Thanks for the novel
@@jason5265 You are more than welcome ✌️
When in army, mess was only open at meal time & we often missed & no other food could be ordered into the base, nor could go anywhere,or buy any. Just went hungry. And no, they didn’t say next day, you can cut back on exercise.
I completely misread this in my notifications as, "Does Exercise Make Us Happy", and thought YEAH IT DOES! 😅But I do find vigorous exercise helps control my appetite.
I’ve learned about you from a Brazilian podcast with Rodrigo Polesso. I live in Toronto and I’m such a fan! Thanks for your teachings, Dr. Fung.
I’ve always heard that muscle burns more calories at rest than does body fat. Plus, I’m too darned old to not exercise.
Diane, not sure what you mean? Muscles require energy, as does our brain 🧠 (~20% total daily calories), and our other organs consume energy. Fat storage requires little energy. Of course for muscles to burn significant calories, exercise is required. Please exercise a little for your brain, heart, and immune system. I’m only 71, so I can still exercise a couple hours a day.
Fat burns no calories at all. Only muscle tissue burns energy. This is one reason we gain fat as we age (if we are sedentary). We lose muscle naturally as we age, and since it's the only tissue that burns energy, we gain fat. We can off-set that natural fat gain by maintaining our muscle mass (i.e. strength training).
I’ve found that zone 1 and zone 2 cardio, while fasted accelerates fat loss. This is likely because the metabolism is increased while fasting and you are experiencing both ketosis and gluconeogenesis due to the energy demand. At the same time, the appetite remains blunted.
Returning to a normal energy consumption after the fast may keep the metabolism boosted for weight loss. The challenge is not to overeat after the fast.
what's the heart rate for zone 1 and 2?
@@jacksonmay153 It’s a personally calculated stat. Look it up.
I lift heavy in the mornings (fasted) and then have a high protein, moderate fat/carb breakfast about 2 hours after. I eat again whenever I get hungry (around 4ish) with the meal being just high protein and fat and then I fast dinner. I also try to do a 36 hour fast or OMAD with lots of walking on my rest days (1-2 days a week) to help burn off fat. This routine has helped me to recomp my body by building muscle but still losing fat even though it’s a much slower process than when I did alternate day fasting. When I first started lifting again I was definitely a lot hungrier though and I had to control my appetite so I know Dr. Fung is right!
This explains so much... thanks doctor.
Thank you Dr Fung. Very clear explanation.
Thanks for the information
I do IF 18/6. Every Sunday morning walk with friend 7:30am to 8:30am. Sometimes eat a little at 1pm, but usually wait until 3 or so. Avoid carbs, sugar, junk. Once in a while I have them, but feel yucky after. Over the summer lost 10 lbs, but am stuck now. Still, 5'6 135 lbs is not fat. Also have never had a butt. Maybe this is where my body wants to be. Would like to loose boob size without surgery, so will keep trying to lose more weight. Have to admit, since I started IF, I have never felt better. Heck, it also cuts down on grocery bills!
Age 72, been fasting and dry fasting for 9 years now, avatar picture is me at my 60 yrs of age, look pretty much the same now but thinner and more muscular. I do light exercise, I get hungry after but either power thru it or simply time it carefully with my eating - which I dont do at the same time everyday. Thx Dr Fung as always!
I have done 5day dry fast. What is your regiment? Do you alternate between dry and water?
@@katk.8751 No I dry fast as long as possible each day, always a minimum of 12 hrs, at 14 now, then I may drink electrolyte water, later I eat if I so desire, never 3x a day, OMAD. When I got a UTI after being brutally beaten and raped in Dec, I went the natural route w/uva ursi herb, D-Mannose in electrolye water, Uricalm, but omgosh you have to drink sooo much water. So then I used my knowledge and dry fasted for 66 & 1/2 hours and it was gone, snap! The first time I did a DF for 3 days my age spot faded. Yes it returned tho it is smaller but DFing is the healer of all healers to me. That's great you did a five day!! Very freeing isnt it? As is fasting in general!
Thanks for the video. Maybe in the future you can add to this one by tying in how fasting might help with the compensation problem if your body is burning fat. Thanks again!
I agree with this. I’ve experienced an exception. I find that people I train that had large muscles in the past. As they resistance train, can make skeletal muscle gains much faster. Their hunger increases proportional to the exercise. So no calorie deficit. But as muscle size increases, their metabolism increases giving them a huge advantage when they calorie restrict and fast. It’s frustrating to others that train hard, fast properly and don’t get the same results. I read diet books. Many many diet books!!! Jason Fung’s are the best. It’s not even close. Save your time and go straight to this guys books.
Dr.Fung you are the best. Thank you and God bless you 🙏 ❤
I lose more weight fasting than working out but! my energy comes from working out so I learn to do both in the way I benefit from it. I workout on my fasting window.
Fasting is for weight, gym is to build muscle
I started exercising and weight lifting 6 months ago... at the beginning I was ravenous after each workout. at the beginning of getting into shape... now that i am more physically fit, my appetite is decreasing after the workout... I actually don't want to eat after the exercise... when I started I would come home and eat a bunch of food.... so... patience.. get in shape... getting in shape is the biggest different... I'm age 60
Exercise Induced Anerexia . Thanks for enlightening us Dr jasok as i always wondered how my hunger goes down soon after an exercise and today i got myself cleared on my doubt
It took me years to realize exercise wasn’t the key to weight loss.
People always over estimate how many calories they expend on a workout and underestimate how much they eat. Many years ago when I found out I was expecting, my dr said in the first few weeks you only need abt an additional 250 calories a day essentially a glass of milk & an apple. Not an excuse to pig out on junk food
Thank you for always keeping us informed. 💕
I accept that data show what Dr Fung is saying is true. It wasn't true for me. At different times in my life when I went back to exercise, aerobics, Zumba, pump, whatever, I lost a lot of weight, which is even better than it sounds because I also built heavy lean muscle. I didn't get hunger spikes either. Now that I'm quite senior and can't work out because of injuries I keep slim with keto and intermittent fasting and that definitely works too.
I agree with you and Jason! I think the answer is what state is you body in while exercising. If one is carb addicted exercising with increase appetite. But if one is metabolically flexible or in ketosis , one can exercise and control appetite! I have completed a 45 min HIIT workout 24 hours into a fast and continued fasting for another 10 hours. I didn’t empty the fridge when I broke the fast!
I'm a rather small person. Exercise allows me to eat more food and not gain weight. It's all a matter of balance. Obviously, I still need to eat a healthy diet. If I ate tons of processed food, I couldn't move enough to burn the calories. However, my regular exercise and a moderate carbohydrate diet, I can easily maintain my weight. According to my Fitbit, I go from needing only 1200 calories a day if I don't exercise to nineteen hundred when I do. That is a big difference.
Back in the days of high school I was working out almost every day and was always extremely hungry and ate 5 times a day + snacks, it was a decent amount of food. After hurting my back I quit exercising but my appetite stayed the same and I started to gain weight. It took me some time to readjust my daily food intake to keep my weight still and reduce my appetite.
I also noticed that now, even without daily workouts, if I go to swimming pool for instance or do any other activity, my appetite increases for the next day, then it becomes normal again.
Thanks for another great video. Exercise doesn’t make me hungry, Fat adapted and usually omad.
That’s cool. I jogged for 2 hours than fasted 24 hours. Only drank water and couple of cups of green tea! Didn’t even feel hungry.
Thank you Sir.Regards
Thanks
People!!!!!
Move and do IF
💯
Hi dialysis patient here since I was 8 years old. My dietitian‘a have always been anti fast and anti keto. Every time I mention it they call it a trend or a fad. I just ignore them and wish I could have Jason fung as my doctor.
I love exercising it helps with my mental keeps me happy
good for you 😊
This is my struggle. Love to exercise but makes me v hungry and negates my wt loss. Im going to curtail it until i reach my normal wt. Dont give up! IF works. I was 208 7 mths ago. Now 175. However I will not give up dancing!
i lost about 70 pounds in about 7 months by doing low carb/keto. After id lost it i started walking, in the last 12 months ive only lost another 10 pounds. I definitely eat more when i go walking
Thank you for another excellent video 👍🏻
God bless u. Love u.
On the contrary...exercise dampens your appetite for hours to you lose weight...plus the mental health and high you get from exercise fights depression
If you do intense exercise you will be extremely hungry. Most people don't push themselves much.
It depends on the individual. All kinds of exercise, including very high intensity, only had benefits for me and appetite was suppressed, not spiked.
Brilliant as always !
I wrestled in highschool and the main thing that would help me lose weight was when I would not eat ! I got all the excersize I needed when I would wrestle someone else !
It would make sense that more energy expenditure would induce hunger. After all, a species whose desire for consuming energy was completely decoupled from the amount of energy that they expend would be a species that would be wiped out quite quickly. It would be like a car manufacturer producing cars in which the fuel gauge does not in anyway reflect the level of fuel in the tank. The car manufacturer would be quickly out of business when all their customers have vehicles that stall in the middle of the freeway. That is why intense exercise makes the endeavor to reduce caloric intake so difficult. While many do it, they do it by marshaling significant willpower to ignore their hunger signals. As the statistics prove, and as the avid gym goers who stay overweight year after year prove, despite a herculean effort at the gym, using exercise as a tool for weight loss is, with the exception of the most disciplined among us, an exercise in futility.
A perfect companion video would look at the compensatory response to fasting.
We all know one of the common criticisms of fasting is "If you skip breakfast, it will just make you overeat at lunch". Is that really true? What if you skip breakfast and lunch? Hunger has an upper limit and so does satiety. What ratio of fasting to feeding is needed to ensure the larger meals don't overcompensate for the fasting? What if we want to maintain or even gain weight while fasting for its other benefits?
I'm sure this has been covered before in your books and videos, but it would be nice to see it summed up side by side with this video.
It doesn't work that way. The old videos explain everything.
I’ve always wondered why exercise suppresses my appetite but when I work as a massage therapist, after giving a massage therapy session, I am very very hungry and I specifically crave carbs.
I train pretty hard every day. Went to Hawaii for nine days. I still worked out but reduced by 2/3 or 3/4. I lost 6 pounds in the nine days. Blew my mind. It must have been this.
Hello Doc,
I keep waiting for your video. Please wish me luck as after following your guidance I have shifted from 2mad to OMAD...
May God Bless You
All the best to you, Antara Mohanta. Be sure to eat enough on OMAD, paying attention to highly nutritious foods.
@@AzaleaBee Thank you for such support
Great knowledge 👏
Exercise definitely makes me hungry which is why I like to exercise at night. That way I can just shower and get to bed if it gets to be too much 👌🏻
Very nice explain sir God bless you and your family
Dr. Fung, I wonder if you would care to comment or do a piece on the association / correlation (if any) between hyperinsulinemia and men's prostate health? Enjoy your channel and have devoured your books. Thanks
longer fasts 72+ hours will reverse it, and other bad growths like tumors. He talks about it in some of the videos and books.
@@LTPottenger Thanks! I will try to find.
Very informative thank you for making this video
Absolotly true in my opinion exercise is good for healthy body and for keep every piece in body flexible and also for the mood and oxygene the cells and take out the negative energy .........ect but to loose weight we must do it with food and intermitting fasting so loose weight first than start doing exercise regulary as nice programme by choosing the nice and good time to do it without forgotten while you do your programme to keep a helthy life style 👍♥️
Thank you 😇😇😇
Exercise doesn't really make me hungry, especially in the summer time. It's hot and humid, where I live and that also kills my appetite.
TY; committed to being a 🐌!
Thanks Dr Fung, absolutely brilliant video!! Yes I do find that intense workouts make me feel hungry! Walking and strength training doesnt increase my appetite 🤣🤣
I find when I get regular exercise my mood is so much better that I eat less. Could this be because all my exercise gives me pure joy? So I’d love to know whether there are studies that differentiate between people who consider exercise as punishment and those who feel the joy of a working body.
I Feel The Same As You.
I Love Zumba…
I am soooo hungry after my workouts!
Exercise makes me ravenous, it’s easier for me to fast than exercise.
I also lost weight on fasting than exercising.
Thanks, i was doing half effort exercising thinking it was helping, in the past it definitely didn't. I tried a dedicated a year to this try, gym 5-6 times a week 1 to 2 hours. Medium intensity. ZERO weight loss. I was eating the weight right back in. Super disappointed. Now i'm going to try again. But high fat, protein, lower carb. OMAD. I'm 2 weeks into this but have light exercies only. Need to ramp up the loss.
When exercise each time
I gained weight. Last time I gained 20 pounds. Last time I was going to gym and I had a personal trainer. Waste of money and time.
Gaining weight via exercise is not necessarily a bad thing. Building up muscles means your weight might go up as muscles are more dense than body fat. In turn, more muscle mass not only means better balance and strength but also an ability to eat more healthy foods that we love without gaining more weight in the long run.
Building muscle via exercise is how I am mitigating rapid weight loss.
Weight lifting is fine to do fasted, the calories burned are negligible. Doing long intense cardio while fasted will burn a bunch of muscle and spike cortisol like crazy and make you hungrier. HIIT or moderate paced cardio where you don't breathe hard are much better for your health.
Human, it’s unlikely that you burn proteins. Our bodies recycle ♻️ 100-300 g of amino acids daily, just from replacing dead cells, etc. Our bodies are too smart to consume precious healthy muscles. Peace.
@@cps_Zen_Run You do. When I stopped running 15 miles a week my body exploded with muscle because I stopped constantly burning it. Now I bench 150 dbs and 400+ flat bench. When cortisol and insulin are high at the same time, you burn collagen. That is the main cause of cellulite in women.
@andria quest lots of protein, low carb, and regular 36+ hour fasts
When me fasting and go to gym, I felt less hungry than stay at home all day
When I trimmed up several years ago someone at work asked me if the training I was doing for a bike ride fundraiser was the reason for my weight loss. I said no it was my change in diet. The person seemed disappointed - I think the idea of exercising off all the fun food is very appealing to people…. Unfortunately not true
I lost quite abit of weight from intermittent fasting
Swimming makes me hungry, that is because of the temperature difference between body and water therefore burning calories to maintain core temperature. Walking, resistance training don't.
Thanks Dr!🌻🌻🌻
Please subtitulos en español
Thx u!!
When u exercise it's hard to lose weight ? That's how my body works. I don't know why. But when no exercise so easy to lose weight
Yep. When I was young and thin and exercised a lot, rode a bike to work it made no difference to my weight. It firmed up my body very nicely, and it meant I had endurance but my weight never changed. If it didn't affect t my weight when I was thin why would it affect my weight when I was bigger?
If you were fitter when you were younger, then you perhaps could put the same effort in for say two hrs a day, as you now use on thirty minutes a day. For me anyway, the fitter I am the more likely exercise is to kill my appetite, as opposed to increase it. However when I tried to do a similar amount after I'd healed from a broken foot, my appetite increased. I think what he's trying to say is don't rely on exercise for weight loss, and the harder the exercise is, the more you push yourself, the more likely it will be that hunger increases
I go for a morning walk in a fasted state (IF) and it always makes me not hungry at all
謝謝！
I eat the most on rest days. If I don’t exercise for a few days then my appetite is ferocious for those few days and I mean huge carb and sugar cravings.
Exercise seems to suppress my appetite!
When you excercise a total body maintenance must be to maintain healthy mobility Muscles Joints flexibility high fiber dried basil leaves and dried oregano leaves made into a powder added to multivitamin shake mix and wow your body work outs are maximized
This answer only applies to me but No..excercise doesn't make me hungry because I eat plenty of complex fiber meaning not just flaxseed but oregano and grains and beans fiber is not for bowels but for regulating carbs and liver maintenance and much more fiber controls your appetite by slowly breaking down food which stops your appetite for a day or two..
Exercise fasted then eat as long after that as you can manage & make it OMAD (one meal a day) & healthy keto - trust me you’ll lose weight.
