  • What breaks a fast? Does tea, or coffee or cream or sugar break the fast? How about diet soda? Dr Jason Fung discusses what you can take during a fast and how this affects weight loss. These fasting variations can still be very effective for weight loss. Check out my blog at / drjasonfung

      This is Sooooooooooooooooo true,,,,,,,,, but it doesn't only apply to food.. I use to make fun of people that were cheaters on their spouse.. (youtube will censor if I use the word for it) The excuse everyone uses when caught is "It was an accident" ..... They just happen to accidently both be naked in a bedroom all by themselves, and accidently fall into said bed and....... you get the rest of the accidents that happened..... Its a matter of what is important to you.. Not only physically but morally.... We have become a morally bankrupt nation and I believe it was done on purpose.

    I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

      Food , eating can be seen as threatening even a weapon to use against someone. Perhaps your changing your eating habits are bringing up an issue in your husband's life he is using procrastination to not deal with. Maybe ask him if there is something you can do to support him in that he may want to challenge himself with? Then share your progress together not apart.

    I use the tape measure and the scale . Frustratingly , at those times when the scale just won’t budge and I was doing great on my eating , fasting and exercise, I would see the inches go down. I was building muscle and burning fat.
    I always say, “Jeans don’t lie!”

    I started intermittent fasting in September 2019. I sometimes do a 72 hour fast. I cut out sugar pasta bread alcohol. I started jumping rope weight training walking. My starting weight 223 pounds my weight as of today 162 pounds. My lowest weight since I started was 152 pounds but I just thought that was maybe too low so started reducing my fasting window a little. Stopped blood pressure meds my energy is great I feel younger and people say I look like I’m 40 and I’m 57. This really worked for me. There’s rough days at the start, but your health is worth it.

    In 14 months of Fasting I was able to go from Level-2 Obese to Normal Weight (BMI < 25). The last few pounds were the hardest, because they didn't want to go away. I was on a 18 hour fast followed by 6 hour window for 2 meals. I switched to OMAD (One meal a day) to lose the final few pounds. That worked very well. I still want to lose 1 more pound and then I'll switch back to a 18/6 ---> 20/4 pattern to maintain the weight. A year and a half ago I wouldn't have believed this was possible.

    • @BobDiaz123
      @BobDiaz123 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Danielle I suggest you come at it through a series of steps. Go a week or two with 18/6., then go another week or two at 20/4. I find 20/4 challenging, so it's a mind game to bring yourself to follow through. After that pick a day and try OMAD. I find that from 11AM to 2PM it the toughest time, so this is when I exercise. In my case go for a multi-mile walk. That seems to take my mind off the hunger and during the walk, I don't feel hungry. I first tried OMAD as only two days of the week. It was about two months later that I decided to switch to OMAD every day. I'm now about one pound away from my target, so it's only one more week. It is a challenge, but you have to really set your mind to just push hard to do it. I hope this helps.

I'm in my senior years and quite overweight. It has been creeping up for years. I have sleep apnea, recently prescribed steroids for asthma, have rarely used them and not for a while, my chol and blood sugar are creeping up as well. My doc offered meds. I was contemplating taking them. Now I know, after hearing from you that they contribute to increasing insulin, I'm going with the autophagy method. I like the idea of my body eating itself. Makes fasting sound more exciting and not so much like depriving myself of something.

    Thank you so much Dr. Fung for helping me! I started fasting and low carbs for weight loss and to help with my arthritis pain. I'm about 2.5 months in and I feel sooo much better. Even my asthma has improved! Thank you so much for your videos. God bless you

    Thank you Dr. Fung for sharing your knowledge regarding fasting - I’ve learned so much to help me stay consistent and effective. This is a journey and I’ve already seen results in my first 2 weeks.
