@@AnnaPinguin do you use Himalayan sea salt in your water or a mineral supplement while you're fasting? I've seen several people say there are drops you can put in your water.
Here’s my story, two years ago I stopped drinking alcohol stopped eating or drinking any form of sugar. Stopped eating bread grains such as cereals pasta. Started slowly skipping breakfast then eventually lunch. It was hard at first but I was determined to do it. I only eat once a day now. Sometimes I have a cheat meal. Sometimes fast 48 hours sometimes 72 sometimes 24. Starting weight 248 pounds weight as of today 168 pounds. It isn’t easy at first but we’ll worth it. My energy is so good and I can walk without pain in my legs after all that excess weight is gone. And ill be 58 in nine days.
I love fasting. Been obese for 40 years and nothing worked permanently. I never even considered not eating at all. I prayed my heart out and I believe God led me to IF! It's the easiest thing I have ever done. Down 100 lbs and over half way to my goal. I feel better in every way. Don't get hungry hardly ever and when I do, I just wait it out. My longest fast was 7 days. Just came off of a 5-day fast and will do another one starting Monday. I won't ever go back to 3 squares and snacks. I know for sure that I don't need to eat like that anymore. I eat celebratory foods for my birthday and Thanksgiving/Christmas and then it's right back on to fasting. Right now I'm eating only 3 days a week until I hit my goal and then I'll either do OMAD or Alternate Day Fasting. It's the way I can live the rest of my life. By the way, I'm a female and 66 years old and have absolutely no problems with fasting. Love it!!!!
"If" I understand Dr. Fung correctly it is OK for us to have snacks, it just depends on what the snacks are. Basically nothing that will spike our insulin. So instead of just avoiding the obvious things like cookies, also avoid things labaled low fat because to make up for the lack of taste from taking out the fat, they add lots of sugar and carbs. Instead snack on baby carrots (18 on the insulin index) or cucumber slices (17 on the insulin index). I can fast for days easily. My problem is when I come off the fast I over eat AND what I eat is trash. So I'm trying a different approach to weight loss where instead of fasting, or even "calories in calories out" (check out Dr. Fung's video on that), I am going to take Dr Fung's advice and just eat right by sticking to foods that are low on the glycemic and insulin indexes. . . .
The worst thing is these snacks are going to be junk food. Fruit is awful for you, and any packaged food is unhealthy no matter what marketing they put on it.
It sure does work. I've lost 95 pounds since January. I only just started working out! Fasting is extremely powerful. I didn't do Keto, just kept my carbs fairly low. (50-60ish grams per day). I'm a 27 year old female for reference. I started at 287.
@@JoinTheTemple of course! I did the 16:8 method. My eating hours were between 10a.m-6p.m. I started fasting at 6p.m and didn't eat again until 10a.m the following morning. (I just wanted to clarify just in case you're new to fasting!) :) Good luck to you!!
@@tulio3571 It's been a while since I first started but I don't believe so. Our bodies truly thrive off fasting. You'll notice a boost in energy and a mental sharpness if you can hang in there and get past the first two to three days while your body adjusts to the change. 💪
@@baileykeith6650 thank you , i have been fasting mostly 16/8 ,cutting carbs and sugar . it works for sure , the fasting itself is not a problem i have gone 24 hours and could go longer but the brain fog gets to me. Lately i will try taking salt and magnesium . thanks again.
Thank you so much Dr. Fung! You have changed my life! My Fiancé started doing 23 hours fasts daily. He lost 160 lbs! Then I joined in and I have lost 75lbs so far. Not only that, but My PCOS symptoms have greatly improved! We can look forward to a future together now, one that includes children. And we will be able to keep up! You have given us hope. I am so grateful! God bless you!
Hi do you have any recommendations. I have endometriosis and I would like to get healthy with hopes of pain relief. I want to try this but I don't know what to do or where to start.
@@Tryvoie2 I can’t promise you it will solve endometriosis. But being overweight sure is painful in many ways I didn’t even realize, so it should definitely help. What my now husband and I did was just pick one meal a day to eat. We would try to make it roughly 1000-1200 calories, but we didn’t really count. My husband liked to go to a restaurant with the calorie counts on it so he didn’t have to do any calculations. And we took a multivitamin with our meal. Outside of that meal we had only water, and black unsweetened coffee or unsweetened tea. No other food or beverage. It works great! I did it for a year and I hit the 100 lbs lost mark! I started getting a regular period for the first time in my life and am now pregnant with our first child! Fasting is mentally challenging, but if you can just push through the first 6 weeks or so, you begin to forget about it because it becomes a habit. You just have to remind your self that you are not starving. You’ve already eaten this meal and you are now taking from fat stores. Once it becomes a habit, it is in my. Personal opinion, the easiest diet to maintain, because you can eat anything you want. You just have to have it in your eating window. Also, if you can find someone else to do it with you and you, I found the support and accountability very helpful. Good Luck!
@@Tryvoie2 No, we did our normal evening walks we always do, but we didn’t do any extra exercise or change our food choices at all. We didn’t want to do anything that we didn’t see ourselves being able to sustain for the foreseeable future. I am also of the opinion that when you are severely overweight as I was, doing hard exercise is more harmful than helpful to the body. Just do what you need to do to make you feel strong and keep you capable of living your life. I personally recommend OMAD over 16:8 because I have no self control and once my eating window opens, I can’t stop myself until I am very full. So I actually gain weight on 16:8 because I get full, but then later in that window I just keep eating because a bit of room has opened up in my stomach. It was just better for me to not give myself the option to eat for a longer period of time. Plus after a while, I no longer felt hunger outside of my 1 hour eating window. Now that I’m pregnant though, I can’t really keep up the 1 hour window due to nausea and lightheadedness so I’m trying to figure out how to control my portions and I’m really struggling with it. But everyone is different. If you are good at having a couple of portion controlled meals during that window, you’ll probably have more success with it than I did. Try it and see what works for you. I know some people who are very happy doing 16:8.

He is my favorite dr. Waching his videos makes me hopeful and sure that one day my omad will work for sure i will never quit. But its frustrating when its pletue. Please give me hope to overcome my pletue
Dr, god saved me through you! I can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful books and podcasts you have done. I was infertile for 9 years caused by PICOS. Guess what after i did intermittent fasting i got twins and within 9 months i was pregnant again!!! You are so amazing Dr Fung. Stay blessed ❣️
I’ve only been doing IF for two weeks and my waistline has gone down so much. I feel energetic and I don’t have brain fog anymore. Thank you Dr. Fung for sharing your knowledge. You’ve changed my life! 🙏
@@caroledrabble3404 Mamma G said she is using IF, intermittent fasting. So it's about fasting, not the food itself. {But following a high fat, low carb plan makes it easier to start fasting after you get fat-adapted.)
i'm mostly here for the comment section to read about the success stories from people because that's the kind of positive energy i enjoy. keep going guys, you're all doing amazing. also my two cents on how to stay motivated: don't see fasting as a means to a goal but as a complete lifestyle. i'm not fasting to reach a number on a scale, i just want to live healthy and fit into the clothes i like and as a bonus positive side effect, spend way less money on junk food or snacks
Cheapest Diet… EVER!!!! ♥️ (😬 please don’t smack me around for this… I’m a true believer and disciple of IF and extended fasting. Breast Cancer Survivor of 5 years; PBWF advocate; down 121lbs from 254. But, you gotta LOVE 💕 how inexpensive it is to heal yourself!!! Currently, my Chemo is running at $16,548 each month. - Gotta LOVE ❤️ a good insurance company, too) - Nothing but gratitude 🙏
@@AnnaPinguin I stopped eating all processed food. Cook everything at home when I can. I drink crystal light once in a while when I eat. I do have bread, rye, lower in carbs I found. My carb limit is 20g per day. Also have for 12 hours, I eat, and fast for another 13 and eat again. If I feel hungry, I just have an ice decaf coffee with one splender for taste. I eat good fats. Meats, chicken, pork. No rice, unless brown rice. No white potatoes or breads unless it’s rye. It’s working for me and feel good.
The best thing that's happened lately is to see Dr. Fung more active on TH-cam. His videos should have subtitles in all different languages so non-English speakers could have the chance to learn from such an honest doctor. Keep it up, Doc!
My 14 year old daughter has started fasting. She just survived her stage 3 cancer diagnosis this March. The treatment that has saved her life took away her very fit body in a matter of a few weeks. She gained around 50 lbs. She says it’s hard to look in the mirror bcuz she doesn’t recognize herself overweight and without hair. She says fasting helps deal with the nausea from her medication and she just feels better. She does a 16/8 & a OMAD. I just want her to feel happy and good in her body again, so I’m supportive of her choice. Is fasting okay for a teen recovering from cancer?
You are a great person Dr. You helped me a lot. I am trying your way of fasting and for sure I am expecting results and I will be the most happiest person in this world as I have tried so much to loose weight but it was happening very slowly and the weight was coming back all the time. But for sure I have a revelation from your videos. May God bless you Dr. Testimonials are really encouraging. Thank you.
Absolutely it is good for her and NO SUGAR. Sugar feeds cancer cells. I too survived cancer and it has been over 14 years. Congratulations on her success. She is doing the best thing for herself that she can.
@@virgoteaze No. Your daughter is absolutely doing the right thing. Her body has survived a trauma. You are absolutely correct when you say the treatment that saved her life changed her body but it is only temporary. Her body will adjust and heal but it takes time. I now eat Carnivore or a meat based keto way of eating .It has been the best thing ever. It allows the body the rebuild and eliminates any possible food sensitivities. There is a web site called meat heals rx that has so many inspiring testimonies. Unfortunately mainstream media and even the drs will say otherwise but when you survive something like that you need to take your health into your own hands and follow your instincts. When I was getting chemo there would be trays of sugared donuts around and I just could not believe it. I eat a meat based diet and exercise on a cellerciser. It is a small trampoline and works to heal every cell in your body. Quick and easy and gives you oxygen, Cancer cannot exist in an oxygen rich environment. No sugar because sugar feeds cancer. They use a sugar solution in PET Scans because it makes cancer cells visible. Sad that these simple measures are not in treatment. Please fell free to reach out again. Not only have I gotten through cancer almost 15 years ago but I am a nurse. I have learned more through my own journey than I ever did in school about cancer. I wish you both the best and speedy healing and recovery for your daughter.
Doctor Fung is the best. I readed "The Obesity Code" in the beginning of august, decided to try fasting mid august, fast foward 4 months later and im down 60 lbs. from XL clothes to M. Now I fast every day 20:4, OMADS and 2 times a month I do a 48/72 hr fast and I feel better than ever. Doctor Fung is an absolute genius.
@@gulnorapomfret9769 During my fast I only drank water, black coffee (with no sugar/cream/artificial sweeteners) and tea (green tea mostly). And I ALWAYS avoided sugary drinks, even when I wasn’t fasting.
It never made sense to me that people would say you're going to lose your muscle mass when you lose weight because if you actually lose weight your body should be eating your fat not your muscle. So this totally makes sense. Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation.

Dr Fung I have lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks by doing nothing more than 16/8 IF and lowering carbohydrates. You are simply amazing and your channel is a true blessing to us to struggle with weightloss!!!
Thank you doctor Fung. Having been a type two diabetic for over 23 years I am now off all 170 units of insulin and 2,000 mil of Metformin. I’m down 45 lbs. This is a result of intermittent fasting 16-20 hours a day and also some extended fasts of 72 hours. I also eat under 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. Although after 9 months of this lifestyle my BS’s aren’t where I’d like them to be, overall I’m healthier at 65 then I was at 45 years old. It gets discouraging sometimes when the numbers don’t improve as fast as you’d hoped but I’m determined to keep moving forward with this lifestyle and looking forward to one day being able to say I’ve finally beat diabetes. Thank you for all you share here on your channel and for your amazing book “ The Diabetes Code”.
I started in July 2022 at 200lbs...I am now 35 lbs lighter!! Fasting has changed my life. I'm also no longer pre-diabetic, my thyroid is back in normal range, my plantar fasciitis went away and my joints don't hurt anymore. I'm 52 and also did this with zero exercise!
For close to 5 decades, I subscribed to the theory that exercise was the route to weight loss and weight control. Total fiction. Thank you Dr. Fung for “The Obesity Code”. I started IF (20/4 occasionally 23/1 one meal a day) at 205 pounds and I’m now, 7 months later, at 160 pounds. Thanks you Dr. Fung.
I’m doing my ADF schedule, just pass 20hr. Just wanna say thank you for all those who sharing their success story. It really give me energy and vibe needed to push through my fast.
I'm on a relatively light 16-8 fast for the past year 7 days a week. I've kept my carbs to under 50g per day and I've lost 84 lbs in the past 12 months. A1C dropped from 8.4 to 5.5 (without medication) and I'm off my BP meds too.
Intermittent fasting definitely works! I’ve lost 18 pounds in 3 months. Also did low carb but not Keto per day. Not one day of exercise due to an injury. I plan on starting exercise soon.
Thank you for explaining everything the way you do, Dr.Fung. I've been fasting for about 2 and a half months now. I do 36 hour fast with 24 hours off. Everything has gotten better! I've lost weight...30 lbs, more energy, sleep better and my blood sugars has gotten so much better that my insulin dose has been decreased by more than half! Thank you!

I did this in the past and lost weight. I forgot how much but it works. I'm on a water fast at the moment. On day 6 and have lost 14 pounds. I plan to do 16/8 once I'm done to continue my journey
I had success with OMAD, then I got impatient and went for longer fasts but I created a bad relationship with food by having long fasts and binge eating. It threw my body out of whack because I stopped eating at a similar time each day. I’ve managed to get back on track with OMAD by balancing my hormones as I consistently eat once per day at around 5pm. Fasting is great but don’t over do it. Like everything it’s moderation :)

I started 10 to 6pm a week ago. I am so happy as I ha e lost 1kgs and no craving and most importantly feeling better so looking forward to December fit body loading. Well done to you dear.
Two months ago, I had my labs done after one and a half year of not visiting the doctor due to Covid precaution. The results came back with high blood pressure, type two diabetes and high cholesterol. I told my brother about it, and he suggested watching videos Dr. J Fung. As of today, started fasting a month ago, I've lost 11lbs. My jeans that I couldn't fit into for years slip right up. Thirty more pounds and I should be at my ideal weight for my height. My fasting plan goes as follow: My last meal is between 5 and 6pm. My first meal is between 12 to 1pm, two meals per day. In addition, I cut out dairies, reduce my race consumption by 75% each meal and *ABSOLUTELY* no fast food, junk food and sugary drinks. My girlfriend started with me and she also lost 11lbs so far (in a month).
GREAT ADVICE Dr. Fung! Thank you so much, this has helped me so much!!! I've lost 50 lbs started out with 16:8 Now I'm doing 18:6 five days a week, and 20:4 two days a week. . . BETTER and faster results. :)
Dr. Fung thank you for the very clear explanation of what happens during fasting. My primary reason for fasting is for my fellowship with Jesus Christ and over the years I am learning the plethora of other benefits it causes in our bodies also. Thank you, thank you 😊
Started about a month ago doing the 16/8 method and I’m starting to lose weight! I’m not perfect, I have cheat days but it’s STILL working!! I also have way more energy, less pain & I’m not as hungry anymore! Love this!!! Thank you Dr. Fung!

Love you Dr. Fung. I started to water fasting with confidence for watching your videos and learn a lot from you. I have lost 1 kg per day and keep swimming while fasting. And feel really good. I'm obese, prediabetic, and with PCOS and I need to loose at least 25 kg, but the fasting is wonderful and give me hope in my health journey. I've been with gynecologist, nutriologist, bariatric, endocrinologist for years and haven't resolve any one of my health problems, only mantein the symptoms a little under control, but the bottom problems are still there, stronger than ever.
Hey, I went through 2 water fast for a week time. Someone like me need some magnesium supply to prevent muscle cramp and irregular heart beat. I took himalayan salt and some electrolyte powder. Hope it works for you too.

Wow, you are my inspiration. I am 53 with the slowest metabolism ever. Its taken me 4 months to lose 24 lbs with IF and keto. Hoping I find a way to speed things up a bit. Glad to see you are progressing in your 60's.
@@ballen772 I’m 50. What sped up for me is dairy free/nut free and strength training. My fasting is 17-20hrs daily. Minimum 100g protein. Beef & salmon usually, I cheer you on! Keep at it!!! Takes awhile then hormones start working better. ✨
Already lost 3 diabetes medications in 7 weeks including insulin, glicazide and Ozempic. Lost 12-13 pounds so far also but doing Ketogenic diet also. 8-16 intermittent fasting 3-4 days a week
I have started ADF after binge watching your lessons. Lol. I was already down 4 lb in less than a week. I downloaded the PDF from your clinic's website and sent it to my mother who is a newly diagnosed diabetic. Told her that if she wanted to do your program that I would pay for it. I also gave two copies to my personal trainer. I am a nurse so what you are teaching just makes so much sense to me, and seems so simple and common sense. It actually makes the fasting easier, when reminded of the science behind it. I am so grateful to have learned a new way of living thanks to you. You've definitely helped me to break a generational curse of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Blessings to you and yours.
This is by far the easiest thing I’ve tried for weight loss. I have my meal between 2-3 pm which is halfway through my day. I have not been hungry. I thought I would eat more at the one meal, but find I can’t eat any more than a normal meal. I am only on week 2 but have already lost 2lbs. I have not had any cravings. I like the saving of time, effort and money too. I wish I’d found this a long time ago! Thank you!
Thank you for the clarity on electrolyte levels during fasting: so many "experts" tell us that we nee to supplement. You are simply the best, Dr. Fung!
ya i was always concerned about that but now im at peace with it also maybe thats why people can live on a carnivore diet without supplements idk but sounds logic cause when this statement is true for fasting i dont see why it should be diffrent for this carnivore diet thing still dont know if i should try this diet
I cannot thank u enough Dr. Fung. I have been following your videos for the last 2 years. I have lost weight, reduced my blood sugar (Type 2 diabetes) and gotten off of 2 of 3 diabetes meds. God bless u.
I just started experimenting with this when I came across Dr. Berg's videos. I came down 10 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. Can't see it yet, but that's what the scale says, lol.
Another good metric to monitor is waist size. I've been really interested to watch how my waist reduces with fat loss. And I'll be equally interested to as I put on some muscle - expecting my weight to go up with a stable waist size
DR. Fung where have you been all my life!? You have changed my entire life for good. My IBS, joint and muscle pain, and extra weight is gone!!! I thank my lucky stars for you sir.🙏🙌 #DrJasonFungTrueDoctor
I live in a country where a lot of people think that if they explain things so that everyone can understand, it lowers their reputation for being clever. "If everyone can understand my subject, then I'm nothing special." However, my view is that it's only the very clever people that can break things down and explain them in simple words that everyone can understand. This video shows you what I mean.
i just started again for a week and a half, lost 7 lbs already! It makes miracles! gonna go back to my old weight back in 2013!!! been a while i’ve been slacking and making poor choices for my body!
I lose 10 kgs in 3 months by intermittent fasting and my A1c dropped from 6.6 to 5.2 . Further tryglisreds and cholesterol also come dome enormously. Thanque Jason fung sir
Thanks to Dr. Fung I started 16:8 as a beginner. I feel great and light after a week and I don’t crave for food as I did before. Going to keep doing it
So easy to understand. I enjoy your more technical lectures, but so appreciate the simple, straight forward explanations with grafts. Also love the individual stories. Consider taping or interviewing the individuals. So inspiring!. Thank You Dr. Fung.
You are 1 of the smartest doctors and if the smartest! You are literally changing so many lives and saving so many lives! You are a real true hero! Thank you seriously for being such a great man and teaching us the truth and what is correct! We have been mislead for so long and so many have suffered and died! I watched so many family and friends suffer from diabetes and die. I myself personally am losing so much weight as well since I just started doing OMAD! You are a man of the people and I sir salute you! Please continue to help the people and do videos educating us. For all of you finding success and getting back your health, congratulations and keep going, you got this, now your whole life will be changed for the better because you now finally are getting the truth! What a wonderful time to live in some ways!
Thank you Dr. fung, i was skeptical at first because after I lost few pounds I used to get platue. I started watching you I was determined to do it . I lost 10ibs in a month and half.I have 10_15 IBS to go. Thanks again 🙏🏿
I started fasting on accident about three weeks ago... I say on accident because the first week of fasting wasn't really intentional, I was just feeling really depressed and I didn't feel like doing anything, even eating... So that's when I learned that I really could make it through the day without eating, so I kept fasting... Now in about three weeks, usually eating one meal a day, my 3XL shorts have become too big and I had to search for my old 2XL shorts...
My doctor just prescribed Intermittent Fasting with Low Carb for me to Lose Weight as a Menopausal Woman, age 52. The work you are doing, Dr. Fung, is percolating to the Medical Community the world over - I live in Houston Texas, and when she prescribed this for me with how Menopause Sucks for women and that realistically, we need to eat less and move more, and Intermittent Fasting is the way to go.
I have a massive appetite. I am overweight and in my 50’s. I’ve always been small and healthy but now…well, I talked to my doctor about an appetite suppressant and he asked me if I thought about fasting. I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t think I could do it with my big appetite it it totally works for me. I’ve combined it with a low carb diet and I have lost over 30 pounds in no time. I’ll admit I cheat a lot. I love my potato chips and refuse to give them up. I’ve reduced it to a weekly treat and now I’m ready to go biweekly to push me a bit harder.

Thank you doctor for the valuable videos. I started fast with 2 meals a day by skipping breakfast in 2018. It was for my son’s wedding so that I can fit in a nice dress that I liked. Within 2 months my BMI got to normal, I shredded 10 lbs and well fit in size 4-6. Lately. I was not just forgot to fast. However I had been eating all day long was fruits and refined carbs such as breads and buns, chow-fun, chow-mein. I thought it was healthy, because I wasn’t eating rice, wasn’t drinking sweet boba teas and cokes. I didn’t realized the fruits also made me fat because of the fructose. I was fatter in an unhealthy way that I had lots of water retention. From size 4 to 12 in a short time. My heart beat went down because was not enough blood to supply to that xx cell. Thank you doctor Jason Fung’s intermittent fast lecture. I love he said “don’t count calories”. One can of soda drinks has 1000 calories does not equal to one bowl of green broccoli that also has the same amount of calories. This make so much Sense. I again applied IF one to two meals a day for 2 months and now get back to my size 4 dress and have a normal BMI again. Thank you doctor. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m on my way to try 90 days canavore with doctor Ken Berry to get more health benefits, thanks so much doctorsssssss. As I ate more meat and fish now, my heart rate is stronger and had been back to normal at 60s + . However, I experienced minor acid reflux as I’m adapting to more meat diet. Thanks doctor Fung for the 2 spoon of ACV mixed with Water to drink before meal. That helped get rid of my acid flux temporary now. Will see… never say THANKS enough. Love ❤❤❤
Agree. That was the first time ever I began to understand this process, it just made sense. Meanwhile for 20 years doctors and diabetic educators been explaining it to me but it went over my head. Watched Dr Fung and Butter Bob Briggs and It's like I'm finally understanding everything. Wonderful men.
After reading doctor Jason's book about intermitten fasting, I have lost 25 lbs mainly from working out and intermitten fasting. I also watch calories intake while shredding extra pounds. When I hit plateau , I added fasting hours and drank so much water. I felt amazing during the fasting period. I was able to maintain my weight during Thanksgiving because I did 20 hours fasting before and after Thanksgiving. I also noticed that I no longer have migraines. I'm not sure if it has to do with my water intake (96 oz min/ day), or the fact that I eat cleaner and fast 16 hours daily. It's amazing and I wish I had done fasting sooner. Thank you doctor Jason!!
Fasting and a whole food plant based diet had me loose 42lbs in 13 weeks. I eat an early breakfast and lunch by 11 am and fast for 20 hrs a day. I have cheat days too, but am mostly vegan. Dr Micheal Gregor has been a blessing also on teaching my the right foods to eat. I started at 241 now I'm 199, will go to 160 lbs. I'm 51 and for the first time in months I have had no random palpitations and my knee arthritis is so much better, and my bp med is half already. I asked a physician why they don't encourage this lifestyles, I was told" we see way too many patients and the time isn't there, and most people don't wanna hear that, just want a pill". How eye opening, you really have to take your health in your own hands!!! I wish all here well!!!
Solid video! When I fast I love watching videos that explain the science of it. I have NAFLD and I just got off a 46 hr fast. Trying to reverse this disease through fasting, exercise and nutrition.

I have a TH-cam channel and I’m basically documenting my journey to health so if you subscribe there will definitely be an update on there ... I currently went for blood work and now I’m going to see my doctor and then I’ll ask her for an ultrasound to check my NAFLD
I am 70 yrs old. Does fasting work less well on my age group? If so, on average, by what percentage is the difference in hormonal increase ( i.e., growth hormone, adrenaline, etc.)
Clear, concise and helpful!! Thankyou for helping me build trust with the process, not to mention enlightening on so many things!!! Must watch for all!!
You are THE BEST!! You helped me a lot, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism / Hashimoto’s and fasting reallly helped me a lot ( I cheat sometimes 😆).. thank you Dr Jason, Fung ♥️❤️♥️
For more science on why fasting works, check out this video - th-cam.com/video/5hVX0Aot92k/w-d-xo.html
Wow thank you Dr.
Do you think fasting and keto will help Xanthelasma? I have a large on on each upper eyelid.
my problem with fasting is that I do not tolerate , get dizzy , nausea,headache. with more than 4 hours.
@@AnnaPinguin have you been checked for or have diabetes. Sounds like you may have hypoglycaemia when you don’t eat. .
@@AnnaPinguin do you use Himalayan sea salt in your water or a mineral supplement while you're fasting? I've seen several people say there are drops you can put in your water.
Here’s my story, two years ago I stopped drinking alcohol stopped eating or drinking any form of sugar. Stopped eating bread grains such as cereals pasta. Started slowly skipping breakfast then eventually lunch. It was hard at first but I was determined to do it. I only eat once a day now. Sometimes I have a cheat meal. Sometimes fast 48 hours sometimes 72 sometimes 24. Starting weight 248 pounds weight as of today 168 pounds. It isn’t easy at first but we’ll worth it. My energy is so good and I can walk without pain in my legs after all that excess weight is gone. And ill be 58 in nine days.
Congratulations!!!
Do you a lot of loose weight?

How long did it take?
I love fasting. Been obese for 40 years and nothing worked permanently. I never even considered not eating at all. I prayed my heart out and I believe God led me to IF! It's the easiest thing I have ever done. Down 100 lbs and over half way to my goal. I feel better in every way. Don't get hungry hardly ever and when I do, I just wait it out. My longest fast was 7 days. Just came off of a 5-day fast and will do another one starting Monday. I won't ever go back to 3 squares and snacks. I know for sure that I don't need to eat like that anymore. I eat celebratory foods for my birthday and Thanksgiving/Christmas and then it's right back on to fasting. Right now I'm eating only 3 days a week until I hit my goal and then I'll either do OMAD or Alternate Day Fasting. It's the way I can live the rest of my life. By the way, I'm a female and 66 years old and have absolutely no problems with fasting. Love it!!!!
Agree!!!
You give me hope
I met with my Dr. Today told her I was fasting . She told me to eat snacks. Getting a new Dr.
As long as you’re not pregnant or breast-feeding or perhaps 10 years old LOL…
Sure way to keep you fat! Smart move on getting a new doctor. Share Dr. Fung's info.
"If" I understand Dr. Fung correctly it is OK for us to have snacks, it just depends on what the snacks are. Basically nothing that will spike our insulin.
So instead of just avoiding the obvious things like cookies, also avoid things labaled low fat because to make up for the lack of taste from taking out the fat, they add lots of sugar and carbs. Instead snack on baby carrots (18 on the insulin index) or cucumber slices (17 on the insulin index).
I can fast for days easily. My problem is when I come off the fast I over eat AND what I eat is trash. So I'm trying a different approach to weight loss where instead of fasting, or even "calories in calories out" (check out Dr. Fung's video on that), I am going to take Dr Fung's advice and just eat right by sticking to foods that are low on the glycemic and insulin indexes. . . .
You could eat meat snacks like beef jerky all day but if you don't feel the need then why do it?
The worst thing is these snacks are going to be junk food. Fruit is awful for you, and any packaged food is unhealthy no matter what marketing they put on it.
It sure does work. I've lost 95 pounds since January. I only just started working out! Fasting is extremely powerful. I didn't do Keto, just kept my carbs fairly low. (50-60ish grams per day). I'm a 27 year old female for reference. I started at 287.
May I ask what fasting regimen you used?
@@JoinTheTemple of course! I did the 16:8 method. My eating hours were between 10a.m-6p.m. I started fasting at 6p.m and didn't eat again until 10a.m the following morning. (I just wanted to clarify just in case you're new to fasting!) :)
Good luck to you!!
@@baileykeith6650 did you have any problems with brain fog and low sugar. Thanks
@@tulio3571 It's been a while since I first started but I don't believe so. Our bodies truly thrive off fasting. You'll notice a boost in energy and a mental sharpness if you can hang in there and get past the first two to three days while your body adjusts to the change. 💪
@@baileykeith6650 thank you , i have been fasting mostly 16/8 ,cutting carbs and sugar . it works for sure , the fasting itself is not a problem i have gone 24 hours and could go longer but the brain fog gets to me. Lately i will try taking salt and magnesium . thanks again.
I’ve lost 77lb so far with fasting for an entire year. I went from 277lb to 199lb. I’m only 29lb away from a healthy BMI.
Amazing! Congrats! I have to lose 30lbs. Thank you for the inspiration.
Yay! Congrats, keep up the good work!!!
That's amazing congrats
Wow so impressive. So proud of you. Keep up the good work- on to a healthy lifestyle and longevity, yay!!😍
So you only had water for the whole year?🙄
Thank you so much Dr. Fung! You have changed my life! My Fiancé started doing 23 hours fasts daily. He lost 160 lbs! Then I joined in and I have lost 75lbs so far. Not only that, but My PCOS symptoms have greatly improved!
We can look forward to a future together now, one that includes children. And we will be able to keep up! You have given us hope. I am so grateful! God bless you!
Hi do you have any recommendations. I have endometriosis and I would like to get healthy with hopes of pain relief. I want to try this but I don't know what to do or where to start.
@@Tryvoie2 I can’t promise you it will solve endometriosis. But being overweight sure is painful in many ways I didn’t even realize, so it should definitely help. What my now husband and I did was just pick one meal a day to eat. We would try to make it roughly 1000-1200 calories, but we didn’t really count. My husband liked to go to a restaurant with the calorie counts on it so he didn’t have to do any calculations. And we took a multivitamin with our meal. Outside of that meal we had only water, and black unsweetened coffee or unsweetened tea. No other food or beverage.
It works great! I did it for a year and I hit the 100 lbs lost mark! I started getting a regular period for the first time in my life and am now pregnant with our first child!
Fasting is mentally challenging, but if you can just push through the first 6 weeks or so, you begin to forget about it because it becomes a habit. You just have to remind your self that you are not starving. You’ve already eaten this meal and you are now taking from fat stores.
Once it becomes a habit, it is in my. Personal opinion, the easiest diet to maintain, because you can eat anything you want. You just have to have it in your eating window. Also, if you can find someone else to do it with you and you, I found the support and accountability very helpful. Good Luck!
Thank you for your response. I'm 70lbs over weight right now. I want to do the 16:8. Did you guys make healthier food choices and did you exercise?
@@Tryvoie2 No, we did our normal evening walks we always do, but we didn’t do any extra exercise or change our food choices at all. We didn’t want to do anything that we didn’t see ourselves being able to sustain for the foreseeable future.
I am also of the opinion that when you are severely overweight as I was, doing hard exercise is more harmful than helpful to the body. Just do what you need to do to make you feel strong and keep you capable of living your life.
I personally recommend OMAD over 16:8 because I have no self control and once my eating window opens, I can’t stop myself until I am very full. So I actually gain weight on 16:8 because I get full, but then later in that window I just keep eating because a bit of room has opened up in my stomach. It was just better for me to not give myself the option to eat for a longer period of time. Plus after a while, I no longer felt hunger outside of my 1 hour eating window.
Now that I’m pregnant though, I can’t really keep up the 1 hour window due to nausea and lightheadedness so I’m trying to figure out how to control my portions and I’m really struggling with it.
But everyone is different. If you are good at having a couple of portion controlled meals during that window, you’ll probably have more success with it than I did. Try it and see what works for you. I know some people who are very happy doing 16:8.
Great job!! May Jesus continue to help you through everything!

Carole Drabble I'd like to know as well, it is helpful to learn how others start
@@caroledrabble3404 Mamma G said she is using IF, intermittent fasting. So it's about fasting, not the food itself. {But following a high fat, low carb plan makes it easier to start fasting after you get fat-adapted.)
Pat - thank you so much for replying xxx
Mama g, you say you no longer have brain fog ,what did you take or they just disappeared? Thanks
i'm mostly here for the comment section to read about the success stories from people because that's the kind of positive energy i enjoy. keep going guys, you're all doing amazing. also my two cents on how to stay motivated: don't see fasting as a means to a goal but as a complete lifestyle. i'm not fasting to reach a number on a scale, i just want to live healthy and fit into the clothes i like and as a bonus positive side effect, spend way less money on junk food or snacks

Wow! What fasting regimen are you doing? 16/8? Alternate day?
what did you do???? how many hours of fasting per day??? and how did you cope with the hunger???
Well done!
@@AnnaPinguin I stopped eating all processed food. Cook everything at home when I can. I drink crystal light once in a while when I eat. I do have bread, rye, lower in carbs I found. My carb limit is 20g per day. Also have for 12 hours, I eat, and fast for another 13 and eat again. If I feel hungry, I just have an ice decaf coffee with one splender for taste. I eat good fats. Meats, chicken, pork. No rice, unless brown rice. No white potatoes or breads unless it’s rye. It’s working for me and feel good.
The best thing that's happened lately is to see Dr. Fung more active on TH-cam. His videos should have subtitles in all different languages so non-English speakers could have the chance to learn from such an honest doctor. Keep it up, Doc!
I lost 12 kgs in 3 months with 18-20 hours fasting daily except on the weekends. All the credit goes to Dr Jason Fung! Thank you
My 14 year old daughter has started fasting. She just survived her stage 3 cancer diagnosis this March. The treatment that has saved her life took away her very fit body in a matter of a few weeks. She gained around 50 lbs. She says it’s hard to look in the mirror bcuz she doesn’t recognize herself overweight and without hair. She says fasting helps deal with the nausea from her medication and she just feels better. She does a 16/8 & a OMAD. I just want her to feel happy and good in her body again, so I’m supportive of her choice. Is fasting okay for a teen recovering from cancer?
You are a great person Dr. You helped me a lot. I am trying your way of fasting and for sure I am expecting results and I will be the most happiest person in this world as I have tried so much to loose weight but it was happening very slowly and the weight was coming back all the time. But for sure I have a revelation from your videos. May God bless you Dr. Testimonials are really encouraging. Thank you.
Check out Dr Vincent Longo. He talks about fasting and cancer and yes it does help.
Absolutely it is good for her and NO SUGAR. Sugar feeds cancer cells. I too survived cancer and it has been over 14 years. Congratulations on her success. She is doing the best thing for herself that she can.
@@theresajopson4157 did you ever go back to eating sugar?
@@virgoteaze No. Your daughter is absolutely doing the right thing. Her body has survived a trauma. You are absolutely correct when you say the treatment that saved her life changed her body but it is only temporary. Her body will adjust and heal but it takes time. I now eat Carnivore or a meat based keto way of eating .It has been the best thing ever. It allows the body the rebuild and eliminates any possible food sensitivities. There is a web site called meat heals rx that has so many inspiring testimonies. Unfortunately mainstream media and even the drs will say otherwise but when you survive something like that you need to take your health into your own hands and follow your instincts. When I was getting chemo there would be trays of sugared donuts around and I just could not believe it. I eat a meat based diet and exercise on a cellerciser. It is a small trampoline and works to heal every cell in your body. Quick and easy and gives you oxygen, Cancer cannot exist in an oxygen rich environment. No sugar because sugar feeds cancer. They use a sugar solution in PET Scans because it makes cancer cells visible. Sad that these simple measures are not in treatment. Please fell free to reach out again. Not only have I gotten through cancer almost 15 years ago but I am a nurse. I have learned more through my own journey than I ever did in school about cancer. I wish you both the best and speedy healing and recovery for your daughter.
Doctor Fung is the best. I readed "The Obesity Code" in the beginning of august, decided to try fasting mid august, fast foward 4 months later and im down 60 lbs. from XL clothes to M. Now I fast every day 20:4, OMADS and 2 times a month I do a 48/72 hr fast and I feel better than ever. Doctor Fung is an absolute genius.
Did you drink during your fast?
@@gulnorapomfret9769 During my fast I only drank water, black coffee (with no sugar/cream/artificial sweeteners) and tea (green tea mostly). And I ALWAYS avoided sugary drinks, even when I wasn’t fasting.
Thank you for your response 🙂
That’s fantastic!
But isn’t that simply starving yourself?
It never made sense to me that people would say you're going to lose your muscle mass when you lose weight because if you actually lose weight your body should be eating your fat not your muscle. So this totally makes sense. Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation.
You’re the best Dr. Fung. As a student who just took Biochemistry, you have a great way of explaining something so difficult.

Dr Fung I have lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks by doing nothing more than 16/8 IF and lowering carbohydrates. You are simply amazing and your channel is a true blessing to us to struggle with weightloss!!!
Thank you doctor Fung. Having been a type two diabetic for over 23 years I am now off all 170 units of insulin and 2,000 mil of Metformin. I’m down 45 lbs. This is a result of intermittent fasting 16-20 hours a day and also some extended fasts of 72 hours. I also eat under 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. Although after 9 months of this lifestyle my BS’s aren’t where I’d like them to be, overall I’m healthier at 65 then I was at 45 years old. It gets discouraging sometimes when the numbers don’t improve as fast as you’d hoped but I’m determined to keep moving forward with this lifestyle and looking forward to one day being able to say I’ve finally beat diabetes. Thank you for all you share here on your channel and for your amazing book “ The Diabetes Code”.

Can I please ask you losing weight that fast is it causing loose flabby skin as thats what worries me.
I had success with OMAD, then I got impatient and went for longer fasts but I created a bad relationship with food by having long fasts and binge eating. It threw my body out of whack because I stopped eating at a similar time each day. I’ve managed to get back on track with OMAD by balancing my hormones as I consistently eat once per day at around 5pm. Fasting is great but don’t over do it. Like everything it’s moderation :)

Two months ago, I had my labs done after one and a half year of not visiting the doctor due to Covid precaution. The results came back with high blood pressure, type two diabetes and high cholesterol. I told my brother about it, and he suggested watching videos Dr. J Fung. As of today, started fasting a month ago, I've lost 11lbs. My jeans that I couldn't fit into for years slip right up. Thirty more pounds and I should be at my ideal weight for my height.
My fasting plan goes as follow: My last meal is between 5 and 6pm. My first meal is between 12 to 1pm, two meals per day. In addition, I cut out dairies, reduce my race consumption by 75% each meal and *ABSOLUTELY* no fast food, junk food and sugary drinks. My girlfriend started with me and she also lost 11lbs so far (in a month).
My favorite part of these videos is the testimonials. Can we hear more of their stories please?
GREAT ADVICE Dr. Fung! Thank you so much, this has helped me so much!!! I've lost 50 lbs started out with 16:8 Now I'm doing 18:6 five days a week, and 20:4 two days a week. . . BETTER and faster results. :)
Dr. Fung thank you for the very clear explanation of what happens during fasting. My primary reason for fasting is for my fellowship with Jesus Christ and over the years I am learning the plethora of other benefits it causes in our bodies also. Thank you, thank you 😊
Started about a month ago doing the 16/8 method and I’m starting to lose weight! I’m not perfect, I have cheat days but it’s STILL working!! I also have way more energy, less pain & I’m not as hungry anymore! Love this!!! Thank you Dr. Fung!

Hello ma how are you doing
I have started ADF after binge watching your lessons. Lol. I was already down 4 lb in less than a week. I downloaded the PDF from your clinic's website and sent it to my mother who is a newly diagnosed diabetic. Told her that if she wanted to do your program that I would pay for it. I also gave two copies to my personal trainer. I am a nurse so what you are teaching just makes so much sense to me, and seems so simple and common sense. It actually makes the fasting easier, when reminded of the science behind it. I am so grateful to have learned a new way of living thanks to you. You've definitely helped me to break a generational curse of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Blessings to you and yours.
This is by far the easiest thing I’ve tried for weight loss. I have my meal between 2-3 pm which is halfway through my day. I have not been hungry. I thought I would eat more at the one meal, but find I can’t eat any more than a normal meal. I am only on week 2 but have already lost 2lbs. I have not had any cravings. I like the saving of time, effort and money too. I wish I’d found this a long time ago! Thank you!
Thank you for the clarity on electrolyte levels during fasting: so many "experts" tell us that we nee to supplement. You are simply the best, Dr. Fung!
ya i was always concerned about that but now im at peace with it also maybe thats why people can live on a carnivore diet without supplements idk but sounds logic cause when this statement is true for fasting i dont see why it should be diffrent for this carnivore diet thing still dont know if i should try this diet
Down 218lbs since January 2019.
everybody can say that, please give us some details
You down more weight than my total weight...
Awesome congratulations
Keep it up. Great!
Awesome job, what was your regimen?
I cannot thank u enough Dr. Fung. I have been following your videos for the last 2 years. I have lost weight, reduced my blood sugar (Type 2 diabetes) and gotten off of 2 of 3 diabetes meds. God bless u.
I just started experimenting with this when I came across Dr. Berg's videos. I came down 10 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. Can't see it yet, but that's what the scale says, lol.
Another good metric to monitor is waist size. I've been really interested to watch how my waist reduces with fat loss. And I'll be equally interested to as I put on some muscle - expecting my weight to go up with a stable waist size
@@iainmillar1532 Just broke a plateau. Yea and Phew!
Me too
DR. Fung where have you been all my life!?
You have changed my entire life for good. My IBS, joint and muscle pain, and
extra weight is gone!!!
I thank my lucky stars for you sir.🙏🙌

Best explanation of the effect of fasting on TH-cam. Thanks
His voice is so soothing.
I live in a country where a lot of people think that if they explain things so that everyone can understand, it lowers their reputation for being clever. "If everyone can understand my subject, then I'm nothing special."
However, my view is that it's only the very clever people that can break things down and explain them in simple words that everyone can understand. This video shows you what I mean.
Just about the best explaination on how fasting works!
i just started again for a week and a half, lost 7 lbs already! It makes miracles! gonna go back to my old weight back in 2013!!! been a while i’ve been slacking and making poor choices for my body!
Thanks for starting videos again!!! I kept checking youtube for your videos but now I see you're updating again.
Thanks! Hopefully will have weekly videos.
I lose 10 kgs in 3 months by intermittent fasting and my A1c dropped from 6.6 to 5.2 . Further tryglisreds and cholesterol also come dome enormously. Thanque Jason fung sir
Thanks to Dr. Fung I started 16:8 as a beginner. I feel great and light after a week and I don’t crave for food as I did before.
Going to keep doing it
Thank you Dr. Fung for sharing your knowledge with me. All the information you give me is priceless. God bless you for blessing others.
So easy to understand. I enjoy your more technical lectures, but so appreciate the simple, straight forward explanations with grafts. Also love the individual stories. Consider taping or interviewing the individuals. So inspiring!. Thank You Dr. Fung.
I love this short, to the point video.
You are 1 of the smartest doctors and if the smartest! You are literally changing so many lives and saving so many lives! You are a real true hero! Thank you seriously for being such a great man and teaching us the truth and what is correct! We have been mislead for so long and so many have suffered and died! I watched so many family and friends suffer from diabetes and die. I myself personally am losing so much weight as well since I just started doing OMAD! You are a man of the people and I sir salute you! Please continue to help the people and do videos educating us. For all of you finding success and getting back your health, congratulations and keep going, you got this, now your whole life will be changed for the better because you now finally are getting the truth! What a wonderful time to live in some ways!
Thank you Dr. Fung you have sa reserved seat in heaven 🙏🏻🍻💯😘
The clearest explanation about this subject Ive ever listened to here in TH-cam. Im happy to have found you Dr. Fung.
Thank you Dr. fung, i was skeptical at first because after I lost few pounds I used to get platue. I started watching you I was determined to do it . I lost 10ibs in a month and half.I have 10_15 IBS to go. Thanks again 🙏🏿
I started fasting on accident about three weeks ago... I say on accident because the first week of fasting wasn't really intentional, I was just feeling really depressed and I didn't feel like doing anything, even eating... So that's when I learned that I really could make it through the day without eating, so I kept fasting... Now in about three weeks, usually eating one meal a day, my 3XL shorts have become too big and I had to search for my old 2XL shorts...
Thanks Dr. Jasong Fung. God bless you more!
I started OMAD on 1/1/2021. Today is 1/31/2021 and I lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks.
My doctor just prescribed Intermittent Fasting with Low Carb for me to Lose Weight as a Menopausal Woman, age 52. The work you are doing, Dr. Fung, is percolating to the Medical Community the world over - I live in Houston Texas, and when she prescribed this for me with how Menopause Sucks for women and that realistically, we need to eat less and move more, and Intermittent Fasting is the way to go.
Dr , you are incredible . Can’t stop listening to your info !! Keep up the good news , it doesn’t go to waste !
I will bet that Dr. Fung's videos have saved many lives, including mine.
Thank you Dr. Fung, following your advice I’m down 38 pounds on the year. Omad 5 days a week with extended 72 hour when I need to drop a few pounds.
I have a massive appetite. I am overweight and in my 50’s. I’ve always been small and healthy but now…well, I talked to my doctor about an appetite suppressant and he asked me if I thought about fasting. I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t think I could do it with my big appetite it it totally works for me. I’ve combined it with a low carb diet and I have lost over 30 pounds in no time. I’ll admit I cheat a lot. I love my potato chips and refuse to give them up. I’ve reduced it to a weekly treat and now I’m ready to go biweekly to push me a bit harder.
Thank you for all you do Dr. Fung!! We greatly appreciate all of your information and videos. You are literally a lifesaver!

Thank you doctor for the valuable videos. I started fast with 2 meals a day by skipping breakfast in 2018. It was for my son’s wedding so that I can fit in a nice dress that I liked. Within 2 months my BMI got to normal, I shredded 10 lbs and well fit in size 4-6.
Lately. I was not just forgot to fast. However I had been eating all day long was fruits and refined carbs such as breads and buns, chow-fun, chow-mein. I thought it was healthy, because I wasn’t eating rice, wasn’t drinking sweet boba teas and cokes. I didn’t realized the fruits also made me fat because of the fructose. I was fatter in an unhealthy way that I had lots of water retention. From size 4 to 12 in a short time. My heart beat went down because was not enough blood to supply to that xx cell.
Thank you doctor Jason Fung’s intermittent fast lecture. I love he said “don’t count calories”. One can of soda drinks has 1000 calories does not equal to one bowl of green broccoli that also has the same amount of calories. This make so much Sense.
I again applied IF one to two meals a day for 2 months and now get back to my size 4 dress and have a normal BMI again. Thank you doctor. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m on my way to try 90 days canavore with doctor Ken Berry to get more health benefits, thanks so much doctorsssssss. As I ate more meat and fish now, my heart rate is stronger and had been back to normal at 60s + . However, I experienced minor acid reflux as I’m adapting to more meat diet. Thanks doctor Fung for the 2 spoon of ACV mixed with Water to drink before meal. That helped get rid of my acid flux temporary now. Will see… never say THANKS enough. Love ❤❤❤
The legend, was waiting for the fridge and deep store analogy. That's what made me really fully understand how it works years ago.
Agree. That was the first time ever I began to understand this process, it just made sense. Meanwhile for 20 years doctors and diabetic educators been explaining it to me but it went over my head. Watched Dr Fung and Butter Bob Briggs and It's like I'm finally understanding everything. Wonderful men.
After reading doctor Jason's book about intermitten fasting, I have lost 25 lbs mainly from working out and intermitten fasting. I also watch calories intake while shredding extra pounds. When I hit plateau , I added fasting hours and drank so much water. I felt amazing during the fasting period. I was able to maintain my weight during Thanksgiving because I did 20 hours fasting before and after Thanksgiving. I also noticed that I no longer have migraines. I'm not sure if it has to do with my water intake (96 oz min/ day), or the fact that I eat cleaner and fast 16 hours daily. It's amazing and I wish I had done fasting sooner. Thank you doctor Jason!!
Fasting and a whole food plant based diet had me loose 42lbs in 13 weeks. I eat an early breakfast and lunch by 11 am and fast for 20 hrs a day. I have cheat days too, but am mostly vegan. Dr Micheal Gregor has been a blessing also on teaching my the right foods to eat. I started at 241 now I'm 199, will go to 160 lbs. I'm 51 and for the first time in months I have had no random palpitations and my knee arthritis is so much better, and my bp med is half already. I asked a physician why they don't encourage this lifestyles, I was told" we see way too many patients and the time isn't there, and most people don't wanna hear that, just want a pill". How eye opening, you really have to take your health in your own hands!!! I wish all here well!!!
I wouldn’t take Dr Gregor too seriously. Many people have ended up very sick following his advice.
I'm sooo Happy to see you making videos again
Solid video! When I fast I love watching videos that explain the science of it. I have NAFLD and I just got off a 46 hr fast. Trying to reverse this disease through fasting, exercise and nutrition.
Hi, I know your comment is a year old, but I've been diagnosed with NAFLD as well. Wondering how long it took you to have a normal liver again.
Thank you for sharing! I too am curious how this is going for you?
How are you now?
@@brittanyg6796 hey! For some reason this is appearing on my notifications! I have not tested it since I started fasting. With the entire pandemic things for a hectic! But I will be testing it soon! I have a TH-cam channel and I’m basically documenting my journey to health so if you subscribe there will definitely be an update on there ... I currently went for blood work and now I’m going to see my doctor and then I’ll ask her for an ultrasound to check my NAFLD
I really like how he speaks, it's so natural!!
He's an excellent teacher!
Thanks Dr J. F it's work for me I feel 30 yrs younger,
Great content. I'd love to hear your take on IF and thyroid function.
I am 70 yrs old. Does fasting work less well on my age group? If so, on average, by what percentage is the difference in hormonal increase ( i.e., growth hormone, adrenaline, etc.)
This is a really great video. Easily explained, respects the listeners while educating. Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Dr fung! You are a rockstar!
Clear, concise and helpful!! Thankyou for helping me build trust with the process, not to mention enlightening on so many things!!! Must watch for all!!
Thanks Dr Fung for your advice on intermitted fasting I join the many and yes I am seeing results.Thanks again
You are THE BEST!! You helped me a lot, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism / Hashimoto’s and fasting reallly helped me a lot ( I cheat sometimes 😆).. thank you Dr Jason, Fung ♥️❤️♥️
