I have lost 62 pounds following a low carb diet. I think you are such a good resource for those of us trying to change our lives for the better. Thank you
i developed chronic tiredness,brain fog, dermatis on fingers slow healing, eye fog, hypoglycemi effect after 30 of start of exercise in gym on low carb diet, just veggie frozen and meat, i did not cout calories, yes i lose belly but then problems starts.
Thank you for your guidance. On January 2 I will celebrate 5 years of 100 lbs weight loss. I am 64 year old woman living in Ontario Canada. In 1977 I was in high school and taught this. I suffered weight issues most of my adult life. At 58 I finally learned how to eat for my health. It is so good to have found a medical professional that speaks the truth about this disease.
Fantastic! Im about your age and share the same story, in fact in 1976 a doc told me I would DIE if I didnt consume carbohydrates daily. He must have have invested in wheat and corn futures?
I used to live near Fenelon Falls! Need to lose 100, and am 65. Was doing pretty well on the eating, but weight loss is so slow. Sick over Christmas. Time to get back on the band wagon again. Thanks for being a source of hope.
Thank you for uploading, Dr Fung. I have been a supporter of yours for years. I lost approximately 140 lb and I have kept it off. I started at 330 (after being disabled and requiring numerous surgeries) and am now under 180. I am healthy and able to workout, bike, and most importantly do the things I want to do. My goal is in the area of 160 pounds depending how I feel when I get there. It could be more, it might be less. I have shared your videos and books with more people than I can count. Your work is saving lives. Refined carbohydrates, processed food, vegetable and seed oils, added sugars, this is what the majority of people eat in developed nations. As a result our health has degraded and the number of medications virtually everyone takes has increased. We have to turn this around and your work is helping increase awareness. I practice law and share your work with everyone whether it is relevant to the topic or not! If someone needs this information I try to make it available to them. A happy and healthier New Year to everyone
Congratulations 👏🎉! What an inspiration for others! I too lost 160 lbs. by following Dr. Fung and reading his books. I've shared both several times. You are so right, sadly it's up to us to spread the word and be examples of the success. Be well 🙂🙏
@@JohnsonNestorFamilyHi Jessica! We have commented to each other in the past. We're both women, probably similar age and we have both reclaimed our health! If you lived in the Seattle area we could be friends. I've been struggling a little over the holidays. That and world events have me under a lot of pressure. I might have had a little gelato (I shared a single scoop) last night when we went to dinner at a local steakhouse and I may have even had a drink! Still, it breaks keto. I think the key is to be kind to ourselves and when we do eat other things, to enjoy it and not beat ourselves up and then return to good habits the next day. Congratulations on your achievement, you're doing great and you will continue to. Have a wonderful New Year.
Folks, this works. I lost 36 pounds in 5 months in 2023 by cutting out processed foods, consuming low to slow carbs, massively increasing legumes and plant food consumption, with eating a reasonable amount of egg and lean protein most days. I also use intermittent fasting 14 to 18 hours 3 to 4 days per week only, with morning exercise 4 to 5 days per week. Nothing really crazy, it all worked together. Morning glucose down from pre-diabetic to normal. Cholesterol back in normal range.
Your video on diabetes reversal was THE reason I was convinced I can reverse my diabetes if I cut down on carbs. I did exactly that and reversed my T2 DM within 3 months, with zero exercise, and of course without the toxic disease causing pharmaceutical drugs. Thank you so much Dr Fung and have a most healthfully influential year ahead.
@irfansohail1977 Keeping total carbs below 20g daily is a "prescription strength" Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction ketogenic diet. Liberal low-carb (
Fron FRANCE 🇫🇷: Thank You Dr Fung, as a 56 years old and i was at 275lb; i discovered you and fasting, 5 months passed, i have been one month in vacation in Russia where i ate all i discovered, but in France i followed Fasting every day and the result is incredible i am doing OMAD, without hunger, and lost 38Lb, i had uncontrollable coughs every days till you can see my guts, since at least 12 years and nobody helped me, today i don't cough anymore, i have nearly no headache, i can sleep without apnea; still 30lb to lose, i am very confident il will be done in 3 months, OMAD will be my guideline for life. you changed my everyday life ! ! ! ! ! ! thank you.🇫🇷 Merci, grace à vous je me sens mieux.

C'est un point qui était impossible à imaginer mais aujourd'hui tout est ok.

@@SanaPrincesswarrior OMG are you serious .. I can sneeze (hard) like 10x in a row and NO ONE has ever told me that it is related to my blood sugar!! Amazing what you can learn from the net, from helpful people, thank you for sharing
71 year old male. Went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. A1c of 4.6. I eat a very low carb, Less than 20 carbs a day, some days 0 carbs. No processed foods, no seed oils, no sugar. Just finished up a 10 day water fast.
Thank you for mentioning the french paradox. I started gaining weight when i moved from france to england and started eating more potatoes and white bread. Now i have reverted to a heathier diet with more fibre and very few carbs combined with an occasional 3 day fast. I have lost 16 kg and look forward to 2024 and my 70th birthday!
Thanks for posting Dr. Fung. You are saving lives... like mine! I'm 60 and I lost 160 lbs. by reading your books and watching your videos and lectures. I'm loving my keto/fasting lifestyle 🥰! Thanks again
Getting all my carbs from squash or sweet potato and completely eliminating grain, sugar and processed food got me shredded faster than I thought was possible. Now eat 100% meat, fish, eggs, nuts, veg, and squash/sweet potato with a little goat/sheepsmilk cheese here and there. Diet + running every other day and a basic weight/calisthenics routine I have six-pack abs for the first time in my life and would be able to kick the ass of myself from 20 years ago 😂. My basic rule is if you wouldnt find it on an old fashioned family farm, or it has to go to an industrial facility for processing between the farm and the grocery store dont eat it. Just eating simple single ingredient whole foods has completely changed my physique and health and I can't imagine eating any other way now.
Thanks for sharing your regiment .. will be devouring Jason's info as well as your food options and look forward to a positive new year .. Best wishes and congrats
I love a doctor who will take the time to teach patients the truth about food and how it impacts health. Further you assume we are intelligent people who are capable of making good, health based decisions when given the information and data needed. You sir, are a Godsend! Ive lost 47 lbs so far. Heartfelt thanks.
@@schatz1876 that’s what they will say because that’s what they’ve been taught. They will say T2 diabetes is a lifelong sentence so the pharma can benefit. Even my doctor just kept on pushing the pill. No advice on diet or anything and just blamed it on genes. I refused to take the pills. Went keto and intermittent fasting, and all my symptoms were gone. I now eat carbs from veg (moderately) and my last hba1c was normal.
@cgbrodie9729 The same thing here. I went keto and Intermittent Fasting 18 hours and lost 40 pounds. The minute I started to add some carbs Sweet potat, black beans and pasta (not much, mind you ) but I started gaining it back. When I stopped Keto and started doing only low carbs, I noticed my cholesterol levels got better though
@@schatz1876 when I was “healthy” and eating heavy carbs, I used to have really bad migraines ever since I was a kid. Since keto and fasting, I feel so much better. No more migraines and my period became regular which was never a case when I was eating carbs.
Happy Ney Year 🎉 At 63 I've been told I'm pre-diabetic and that I'm almost obese going by BMI on the Asian scale. I've bought The Obesity Code & The Diabetic Code plus have been listening to all your videos that I can find. I am on a mission to prove to my VA provider that Metformin is not the only option! Thank you Dr. Fung.
Berberine has proven to be as effective as Metformin. Just switch to two meals a day, never snack, eliminate sugar, walk daily..: you will be rid of it.
As one who got pushed into the Metformin / Ozempic option .. don't do it. Luckily after a short 3 months of using I saw drastic negative issues such as the constipation and severe stomach pain due to not releasing, as well as the muscle loss. People said take a fibre gummy (!) stick with it (!) it's worth it (!)... no it's not. I now am working hard to get back my muscle, never like it was when I was younger, but enough so I can lift myself off the couch and bed, and ensuring I'm back to my body working naturally without gummies. Best of health to your patricia
The first great thing that happened in my life was encountering my now wife Paula of 43 years. The second thing that happened in my life was the discovery of Dr. Fung. I'm type 2 diabetic for the last 25-30 years. I've gone through 3 medical doctors and they all did nothing for me in a significant way. I made a serious decision and put Dr. Fung's words to the test. As of June 2023 I was 260 lbs. and my A1C was 8.1. My specialist doctor prescribed 2 Metformin and 1 Glyburide twice a day. As of Dec 2023 I weighed 213 lbs. and my A1C stood at 6.4. and I'm only take meds as needed. On two occasions I fasted for 4 days at a time. I now experience less depression and my discomfort of hauling around my big gut has ceased. Everyone in my life see a dramatic difference in my mind and body. I stand as a testimony that all that I learned from Dr. Fung WORKS beyond belief. Thank you Dr. Fung!
Since years im struggling with my weight .. low carbs..keto..i did everything.. since i am eating a loooot more carbs.. im loosing fat like there is no tomorrow and im in the best shape of my life !!! ‼️‼️‼️‼️
@rachelbrondel5858 I do bodybuilding and a bit running.. my biggest problem on low carb was getting enough sleep.. i really had problems with sleeping.. and enough sleep is so important for weight loss. Since 1 year I eat a big portion rice with fruits and a whey shake 2-3 hours before i go to bed..( I know it sounds crazy 😄) .. but since then I could sleep so well after the meal and when I wake up my stomach is flat.. i look good..feel so powerfull in the morning and burn the rest of the day a lot more energy as the the years before. Of course.. without any sport maybe this isn't the right way to eat. But it showed me.. all the theory about no carbs in the evening etc. Is bullsh** The rest of the day I eat mostly only meat..fish etc.
@@giovannirusso9837 that’s great. I’m not as active as you are and I’m a short woman looking to get really lean without starving. I don’t know if low carb is best for my situation
@rachelbrondel5858 I only eat 2 big meals..1 big portion of protein after the gym..and 1 carbs+protein in the evening. I don't know how often and what you eat.. but at first i would advice everyone to reduce the number of meals ..better 2 big then 4 smaller .. and of course only clean food ..unprocessed food. And I do 1or 2 days per week of fasting 18-20hours. That helped me a lot . But everyone is different.. you have to find your own strategy 🙂
I am from Bangalore/India... I learned about intermittent fasting first time from you.. and after almost 2 years later , i could overcome the inertia to start that journey... I am on 36th day of OMAD and lost about 6 kgs so far... Thank you so much for the things you have been doing...
Happy New Year to you and your Family, dear Dr. Fung. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us. Your teachings have changed my life for ever and for the best. I am in the best shape of my life at 60! Wishing you all many blessings in 2024.
Thanks Dr. Fung! Read 4 of your books this last month, and been watching you for the last 1 year since I had heart attack. Lost 88 pounds (now I'm 150 pounds for 183 cm guy), in 7 months cured my diabetes type 2 (from A1C at the hospital at the time of the heart attack 10.4, to now 4.02 in only 7 months and keep maintaining it there), cured my "essential" hypertension (without pills), and got rid of a tumor in my right side temple of 19 x 25 mm which I had for the last 4 years praying it won't turn to a malignant one (disappeared right after my second 5 day water fast, I guess autophagy did the job). Right after hospital I started keto diet, intermittent fasting, and on the 7th month I introduced extended fasts (10 days being the longest one I did so far) and keep practicing them for 48 to more hours once or twice a week or every next week. Never felt better in my life! I'm now light, enduring, quick, sharp etc. Dropped the statins 3 months after hospital. My morning insulin is typically around 3 but since I begun one meal a day 3 months ago, it is even 2.6 and two months now to 1.6. Thank you so much!! Can't really repay you for the rest of my life. Thanks to all the youtube doctors like you in the low carb high fat fasting community! God bless all of you!! Love you! Be healthy, happy and prosperous! For over a year I've watched tons of videos like this one from you and other likeminded doctors, and read 10 books so far in the last 2 months (from you, Ben Bickman, William Davis, Malcolm Kendrick, Mark Hyman, Bruce Lipton etc and keep reading more. I love reading and keep piling books at the que. Currently have 5 more books on the subjects waiting to finish the current one I read). For over 7-8 months I started writing on social media about my experience and the knowledge I accumulate. I've become influential for many people and they chose to embark on the same health path. I'm also influential to the people in "real" life who know me - friends and family members. My brother and his wife are long time diabetics type 2 and heavily obese, they now chose to follow my guides and started reading 3 of your books I bought them for Christmas presents.
@@tryingToBeHealthy I'm 51. I try to eat around 40 carbs net but don't count them as much. I do it more by the look of the things because I've been in fitness and bodybuilding for 25 years and already knew foods and their content. Probably I have days with less than 40 grams and days with 50-60 or a bit higher. However, right after the hospital I immediately stopped eating anything with or from flour and anything with or from sugar - absolute zero, no matter if it's breads and stuff or dishes containing them. The effect was immediate - 1 - 1.5 kg per week every week. I lost 28 kg only in the first 6 months and I was not yet fully keto while still learning and finding out about it and the intermittent fasting. By then, I was still eating at least 3 apples a day, but while I was learning more about keto I stopped eating all fruits and since then I only eat a fruit very rarely. Then, on the sixth month after the hospital I started doing extended fasts as well. But I too was amazed how effortlessly and continuously I was loosing weight week after week and so were those around me. I keep record in a book week by week and still recording in it every Saturday morning my weight and waste line. Helps me keep on track. I can't tell you how happy I am and how good and positive I feel about myself with this amazing transformation. I'm forever grateful to Dr. Fung and others like him whom I watch and read. If you can, I highly recommend you to read his books, they are on another level compared to the videos.
@@stefanogilermo8261 Thank for the details. I don't want to be on keto, its hard for me, I just need to lose weight and I am loosing, and unsure how many max carbs I needed to lose weight. When you had heart attack, what was your eating pattern before ? How were your HDL and LDL levels?
@@tryingToBeHealthy I was eating like pig for the last 2 years prior to the hear attack. Mostly highly refined foods and carbs. But I was already diabetic but didn't know it because for many years I was eating every 3 hours + 4 protein shakes a day and lots of carbs. My cholesterols were fine in the hospital but you know most doctors are ignorant about cholesterol and scared, they put me on statins which I rejected on the 4th month after due to their side effects. It's not about the numbers, it's about their relation to one another that's important, and the specific type - whether or not they are oxidized - and most labs don't measure them.
@@stefanogilermo8261 thanks for additional info, this helps. I am taking rosuvastatin 5 mg for 2 years and now 10 mg since I am obese and my hs-crp is 7.75. My HDL is 30 for few years now and it did not go up, other numbers are in limit. I am 42 with no family history , with IF lost 8 lbs in 5 weeks, I am scared, I have small kid. I do take 30 mins 3 times a week exercise that I just started. I have quit processed food and was not consuming much of them before 1-2 times a week. This summer had a blast for 3 weeks, unlimited processed food, someone came to visit me from home country and then quit that . Now I use minimally processed foods, chicken, fish, vegetable salad and fruits, I am scared - there are lot of advises. I am not trying keto, I am not trying carnivore, Just minimizing carbs and eliminating processed carbs with being more active, will it help?
I am 64 and have fatty liver and thrilled my friend sent me your videos. She is teaching me how to eat healthy. I will watch your videos for sure ! Hope to make a big difference in my life by loosing weight and eating healthier for life. One day at a time !😊❤
I started following Dr Fung's advice and lost 44 pounds. Unfortunately, I lapsed in my low carb IF habits and regained part of that weight. I'm back on track again and look forward to successful weight loss and just feeling so much better overall. I am glad to see new videos with Jason Fung. Need to watch, watch, and watch again to stay focused on my health.
I also have gotten off track (numerous times) but am now 100% back on track, as well. One thing that has really helped is to watch a psychologist from Montreal (The Road to Health - Keto Done Right). She watches the videos of Jason Fung, Ken Berry, Ben Bikman, etc. and then further breaks the information all down and gives valuable information on how to keep getting the results that you want and living the life that you want to live. I really recommend watching Violet's videos! She gives credit to Jason Fung for educating her with his videos, and lost 80 pounds in 5 months. That was six years ago. I think you will find her material to be extremely helpful in staying on track.
I have a bachelor's in nutrition, earned in the 90s. Avocado, coconut oil, and ketosis were viewed as harmful, and pasta and bread were promoted as healthy complex carbs.
At 57 years old I am living my healthiest life! I started IF in 2017 when I came across Dr Fung. I have never been overweight, but had terrible gut issues and my mental health suffered terribly. I eat high fat, high protein and minimal carbs. My weight has been around 116-119 lbs for 6.5 years. Dr Fung you are a legend!! 🤩
Hi Debbie, 59 year old woman here. I quit smoking cold Turkey 3 months ago to better the Afib, which has worked well till now. I gained 7 kgs and was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and now have about 25 kg total to loose to get to a healthy weight. I have just started IF, adding extra leafy greens for fibre gives me terrible diarrhea. I am very sensitive gut wise. How did you do this and are these leafy greens a must to counter the insulin resistance and lose weight on IF? I'd appreciate your input? Tx. Caroline
Thank you for your delivery of this information in a logical and non-preachy or judgmental way. You never try to scare or shame people, just offer incredibly persuasive, fact-based information to follow a healthy path. Much appreciated!
My goal for 2024 is to cleanup my diet. It's a fasting Monday for me, I have been fasting on Mondays for the past 2 months. I have had less cravings since I started watching my carbs.
As always Dr Fung, your information is spot on! appreciate you taking the time to educate us and lead us to better health in a simple way! forever grateful! 😘😊
Dr. Fung this has turned my R A and rosacea around. Your information has been invaluable to me. At 65 and 63 my husband and I are on this lifestyle. I am in no pain and his type 2 diabetes is now non existent. Thank you for sharing this information. It is life saving. What really touched me personally was I watched a video recently and on your shelf is a picture of The Sacred Heartbof Jesus. Bless you for all you do.
Thank you so much for your teachings Dr Fung. Your research on insulin resistance and intermittent fasting opened the eyes of cutting edge doctors, and in turn brought the knowledge to all those that bother to look for a solution for their health issues. I wish you and all your loved ones a fantastic New Year 🥳🥰
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Fung. My doctor recommended your work to me. I went from 192lbs to 162lbs. It is simple, I viewed numerous videos of your work, and then I made my charts accordingly to what foods can be eaten, when and how, it worked wonders. Like anything it's take some adjusting at first. I was in tuned by day 8...❤
Reduced refined carb consumption in our house. husband and I are both down a pant size and only since September. I find it fairly easy to IF ( not eating between 8pm at night and 10am or even noon) as long as I consume enough protein and fat. Following the food pyramid I was never able to lose weight. Very thankful to find people in the Keto and carnivore space. Wishing everyone a healthy new year!🎊🎊
I remember restaurant signs used to advertise “get your carbs here” and being on Weight Watchers wondering how I was going to be able to eat 11 servings of carbs, but no meat.
Love all your videos. Ive been Fasting 18 to 22 hours a day for 4 years now! It's because of you. Also, I've been a vegetarian over 30years. It has always been about health for me.
Hi.... First of all let me say that I am a huge fan of your researches and your guidance. And of course your video that you provide us with so much information. I agree with everything Dr Fung is saying. For a year or so I've been doing some deep down research on weight loss and fasting and found out that everything Dr Jason Fung is saying is right and the proof is my self. I am healthy and I was before. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Thank you Dr. Fung for this informative video, you were the first physician to go against the established nutrition dogma; a true disruptor! Keep up the great work, happy new year!
Great resource and information many of my patients follow these recommendation and are having amazing results. Thank you for all you do for the community.
Thirty thousand two hundred and five views in 10 hours. You're a ROCK $TAR! We Love You, Dr. Fung...I have bought three of your books and will be buying more and telling others.
I appreciate your content a lot, Dr. Fung. Been watching your videos for about a month now, and find them super helpful, along with videos from Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Boz. Great having access to such knowledgeable and transparent professionals.
Ive read both your books dr fung and they helped me lose a lot of weight. Id like to add though, that we really shouldn't get carried away with bashing carbs. We need to make a distinction between processed foods, those with a ton of high fructose corn syrup, normal carb heavy foods like potatoes, brown rice, and natural fruits. The only bad foods are the processed ones. Everything else is ok, and that includes potatoes and brown rice. The problem is that almost all foods are processed in some way. To add a note, its only when you are metabolically healthy and your body is capable of using these different sources of energy that eating natural carbs and fruits is completely fine. If on the other hand, you are diabetic after years of poor eating habits, then you need to fix that first, which means going low carb or fasting and completely eliminating all processed food until you fix your health issues
You are being very nice saying that "none of this was very obvious at the time". Thank you for all you do in the community for health and nutrition information. Hope you have a great year
I started my keto journey after reading Dr Fung’s book, The Diabetes Code”. 3 years later, 50 pounds lighter, off my diabetes meds (dr supervision) and I’m strong and healthy. And I’m 65 years old! If it’s not real food I strictly avoid it. Read the ingredients…if they have a bunch of ingredients put it back.
Happy New Year Dr Fung. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about how sugar, processed foods and starches are unhealthy! I love your videos and your books!
I have lost 31 pounds in 3 months, started at 230 pounds currently at 199 pounds, going low carb combined with 16:8. Low carb and intermittent fasting works! Also, very little exercise.
Hi Doc, I appreciate your love to heal people with diabetic . I started to encourage my husband to listen follow the instruction to lower his blood glucose . Thanks again and god bless your work and let Jesus continue to help you to help others to heal inside out . God bless you and your family always
I was diagnosed with type 2 a couple years ago, started on metformin then added ozempic, started losing weight, dropped the metformin because it made me throw up so much, continued losing weight and when I got to a 60 pound loss, I hit a plateau and eventually gained almost all of that weight back. Now, my husband has just been diagnosed with type 2 and started on metformin but had a bad reaction after 3 days. They're putting him on Jardiance and plan to prescribe Ozempic after he's been on the Jardiance a while. I just started this week with a fire in my belly to lose this damn weight again but KEEP it off, and have lost about seven pounds in six days so far but I know thats not sustainable and after watching a couple of Dr Fungs videos, I now get WHY calorie counting doesn’t work. I've ordered his Diabetic Code book, should be here in a week or so, but I'm determined to get me and hubby healthy! I'm fifty now and he's 49, if we don't make some drastic changes, we won't be here long and I don't want my kids to go through that and I don't want to lose my husband! It's literally do or die for us at this point. I get a bit overwhelmed with all the you can have this but not that, and all the different info out there. Sounds like Keto might be the best bet overall but as a newbie, its somewhat intimidating when it comes to knowing how and what to cook and all that. And how to manage a sweet tooth. Like my snack today was 20 grapes but I see now that grapes are bad, lol. Wish us luck!
I have lost 62 pounds following a low carb diet. I think you are such a good resource for those of us trying to change our lives for the better. Thank you
Congratulations! Do you eat nature's carbs like sweet potato, root veggies and low glycemic veggies or are doing keto?
i developed chronic tiredness,brain fog, dermatis on fingers slow healing, eye fog, hypoglycemi effect after 30 of start of exercise in gym on low carb diet, just veggie frozen and meat, i did not cout calories, yes i lose belly but then problems starts.
@deathamdx6 what problems start ?
🎉Congrats, his books are helping me change my attitude towards food and when I eat.

I suffered weight issues most of my adult life. At 58 I finally learned how to eat for my health. It is so good to have found a medical professional that speaks the truth about this disease.

Thank you for uploading, Dr Fung. I have been a supporter of yours for years. I lost approximately 140 lb and I have kept it off. I started at 330 (after being disabled and requiring numerous surgeries) and am now under 180. I am healthy and able to workout, bike, and most importantly do the things I want to do.
My goal is in the area of 160 pounds depending how I feel when I get there. It could be more, it might be less.
I have shared your videos and books with more people than I can count. Your work is saving lives.
Refined carbohydrates, processed food, vegetable and seed oils, added sugars, this is what the majority of people eat in developed nations. As a result our health has degraded and the number of medications virtually everyone takes has increased.
We have to turn this around and your work is helping increase awareness. I practice law and share your work with everyone whether it is relevant to the topic or not! If someone needs this information I try to make it available to them.
A happy and healthier New Year to everyone
good job. I lost 13 pounds from 130 to 117. I was not overwait but I want a better fasting glucose.
Congratulations 👏🎉! What an inspiration for others! I too lost 160 lbs. by following Dr. Fung and reading his books. I've shared both several times.
You are so right, sadly it's up to us to spread the word and be examples of the success. Be well 🙂🙏
@@JohnsonNestorFamilyHi Jessica! We have commented to each other in the past. We're both women, probably similar age and we have both reclaimed our health! If you lived in the Seattle area we could be friends.
I've been struggling a little over the holidays. That and world events have me under a lot of pressure. I might have had a little gelato (I shared a single scoop) last night when we went to dinner at a local steakhouse and I may have even had a drink! Still, it breaks keto.
I think the key is to be kind to ourselves and when we do eat other things, to enjoy it and not beat ourselves up and then return to good habits the next day.
Congratulations on your achievement, you're doing great and you will continue to. Have a wonderful New Year.
Well done to you! 👍👍👍
@@busylane Thank you so much!
Folks, this works. I lost 36 pounds in 5 months in 2023 by cutting out processed foods, consuming low to slow carbs, massively increasing legumes and plant food consumption, with eating a reasonable amount of egg and lean protein most days. I also use intermittent fasting 14 to 18 hours 3 to 4 days per week only, with morning exercise 4 to 5 days per week. Nothing really crazy, it all worked together. Morning glucose down from pre-diabetic to normal. Cholesterol back in normal range.
So with fasting how many meals you usually take in a day? With 18 hrs fasting I take two good meals and I think i'm overeating?
Your video on diabetes reversal was THE reason I was convinced I can reverse my diabetes if I cut down on carbs. I did exactly that and reversed my T2 DM within 3 months, with zero exercise, and of course without the toxic disease causing pharmaceutical drugs.
Thank you so much Dr Fung and have a most healthfully influential year ahead.
How did you do this ? I am on low csrb but still couldn't reverse the diabetes?
@irfansohail1977 Keeping total carbs below 20g daily is a "prescription strength" Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction ketogenic diet.
Liberal low-carb (
What was your A1C levels?
@oula89 Don't remember exactly. It's been a while, but it was around 59mmol. The latest was 30mmol
@LowCarbLowDrama just noticed that when on low carbs sugar remain normal the moment I eat half a chapati or only half bowl of rice it shoots up ? Why
Fron FRANCE 🇫🇷: Thank You Dr Fung, as a 56 years old and i was at 275lb; i discovered you and fasting, 5 months passed, i have been one month in vacation in Russia where i ate all i discovered, but in France i followed Fasting every day and the result is incredible
i am doing OMAD, without hunger, and lost 38Lb,
i had uncontrollable coughs every days till you can see my guts, since at least 12 years and nobody helped me, today i don't cough anymore, i have nearly no headache, i can sleep without apnea; still 30lb to lose, i am very confident il will be done in 3 months, OMAD will be my guideline for life.
you changed my everyday life ! ! ! ! ! ! thank you.🇫🇷 Merci, grace à vous je me sens mieux.
Plus de baguettes, plus de Croissants?

@@epicurean1868 bonjour Épi oui. C'était tres difficile de se passer de la baguette 🥖, des croissants🥐 et des pains au chocolat ( pas de chocolatine ici 😆🥞) . C'est un point qui était impossible à imaginer mais aujourd'hui tout est ok. J'ai abandonné l'idée de voir le boulanger chaque jour, je me suis fâché avec Mr Panzani et je rends de moins en moins visite à l'oncle Ben's qui se déplace toujours sur son taureau ailé 😁

Coughing is a diabetic and high blood sugar symptom , so is chronic sneezing
@@SanaPrincesswarrior OMG are you serious .. I can sneeze (hard) like 10x in a row and NO ONE has ever told me that it is related to my blood sugar!! Amazing what you can learn from the net, from helpful people, thank you for sharing
71 year old male. Went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. A1c of 4.6. I eat a very low carb, Less than 20 carbs a day, some days 0 carbs. No processed foods, no seed oils, no sugar. Just finished up a 10 day water fast.
You’re a beast!
Why not eat any carbs?. Completely live in a restricted world
You had diabetes?
Know what is restrictive? Hauling around an extra 100 pounds.@@davidgreene8608
@@davidgreene8608he's doing good seems healthy and it's working for him.
Thank you for mentioning the french paradox. I started gaining weight when i moved from france to england and started eating more potatoes and white bread. Now i have reverted to a heathier diet with more fibre and very few carbs combined with an occasional 3 day fast. I have lost 16 kg and look forward to 2024 and my 70th birthday!
Thanks for posting Dr. Fung. You are saving lives... like mine! I'm 60 and I lost 160 lbs. by reading your books and watching your videos and lectures.
I'm loving my keto/fasting lifestyle 🥰! Thanks again
That's really incredible! @jessicajohnson4087 how did you start and what was your regiment for fast and feast days?
WOW!
@@kimaffleck7943 Thanks! It's been fantastic 😃💪👍
Getting all my carbs from squash or sweet potato and completely eliminating grain, sugar and processed food got me shredded faster than I thought was possible. Now eat 100% meat, fish, eggs, nuts, veg, and squash/sweet potato with a little goat/sheepsmilk cheese here and there. Diet + running every other day and a basic weight/calisthenics routine I have six-pack abs for the first time in my life and would be able to kick the ass of myself from 20 years ago 😂. My basic rule is if you wouldnt find it on an old fashioned family farm, or it has to go to an industrial facility for processing between the farm and the grocery store dont eat it. Just eating simple single ingredient whole foods has completely changed my physique and health and I can't imagine eating any other way now.
Impressive!😬
why run every other day? did you try other timings? 1every3? every day?
Thanks for sharing your regiment .. will be devouring Jason's info as well as your food options and look forward to a positive new year .. Best wishes and congrats
I love a doctor who will take the time to teach patients the truth about food and how it impacts health. Further you assume we are intelligent people who are capable of making good, health based decisions when given the information and data needed. You sir, are a Godsend! Ive lost 47 lbs so far. Heartfelt thanks.
Hi Dr. Jason! I wish more doctors are like you. I reversed my diabetes after following your advice. Thank you.
@cgbrodie9729 apparently we don't "reverse" our diabetes we go into remission according to endocrinologists. At least that's what my endo said
@@schatz1876 that’s what they will say because that’s what they’ve been taught. They will say T2 diabetes is a lifelong sentence so the pharma can benefit. Even my doctor just kept on pushing the pill. No advice on diet or anything and just blamed it on genes. I refused to take the pills. Went keto and intermittent fasting, and all my symptoms were gone. I now eat carbs from veg (moderately) and my last hba1c was normal.
@cgbrodie9729 The same thing here. I went keto and Intermittent Fasting 18 hours and lost 40 pounds. The minute I started to add some carbs Sweet potat, black beans and pasta (not much, mind you ) but I started gaining it back. When I stopped Keto and started doing only low carbs, I noticed my cholesterol levels got better though
@@schatz1876 when I was “healthy” and eating heavy carbs, I used to have really bad migraines ever since I was a kid. Since keto and fasting, I feel so much better. No more migraines and my period became regular which was never a case when I was eating carbs.
@cgbrodie9729 That is amazing that your periods became regular all from omitting carbs. There has got to be some kind of correlation to that.
Happy Ney Year 🎉 At 63 I've been told I'm pre-diabetic and that I'm almost obese going by BMI on the Asian scale. I've bought The Obesity Code & The Diabetic Code plus have been listening to all your videos that I can find. I am on a mission to prove to my VA provider that Metformin is not the only option! Thank you Dr. Fung.
Berberine has proven to be as effective as Metformin.
Just switch to two meals a day, never snack, eliminate sugar, walk daily..: you will be rid of it.
As one who got pushed into the Metformin / Ozempic option .. don't do it. Luckily after a short 3 months of using I saw drastic negative issues such as the constipation and severe stomach pain due to not releasing, as well as the muscle loss. People said take a fibre gummy (!) stick with it (!) it's worth it (!)... no it's not. I now am working hard to get back my muscle, never like it was when I was younger, but enough so I can lift myself off the couch and bed, and ensuring I'm back to my body working naturally without gummies. Best of health to your patricia
Thank you so much Dr. Fung!!, I can't see my life without fasting now, blessing to all!!! Let's have a healthy and fun 2024!!🎉
Such a lovely man. I could watch his TED talks over and over again. Happy New Year Dr Fung x
Do you have a link to that Ted Talk? I’m having trouble finding it.
The first great thing that happened in my life was encountering my now wife Paula of 43 years. The second thing that happened in my life was the discovery of Dr. Fung.
I'm type 2 diabetic for the last 25-30 years. I've gone through 3 medical doctors and they all did nothing for me in a significant way. I made a serious decision and put Dr. Fung's words to the test.
As of June 2023 I was 260 lbs. and my A1C was 8.1. My specialist doctor prescribed 2 Metformin and 1 Glyburide twice a day. As of Dec 2023 I weighed 213 lbs. and my A1C stood at 6.4. and I'm only take meds as needed.
On two occasions I fasted for 4 days at a time.
I now experience less depression and my discomfort of hauling around my big gut has ceased.
Everyone in my life see a dramatic difference in my mind and body.
I stand as a testimony that all that I learned from Dr. Fung WORKS beyond belief.
Thank you Dr. Fung!
What a beautiful comment. I wish you and your family all the best ❤❤❤
Since years im struggling with my weight .. low carbs..keto..i did everything.. since i am eating a loooot more carbs.. im loosing fat like there is no tomorrow and im in the best shape of my life !!! ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Can you tell me what you eat? I’m struggling to reduce my calories on low carb diet
@rachelbrondel5858 I do bodybuilding and a bit running.. my biggest problem on low carb was getting enough sleep.. i really had problems with sleeping.. and enough sleep is so important for weight loss. Since 1 year I eat a big portion rice with fruits and a whey shake 2-3 hours before i go to bed..( I know it sounds crazy 😄) .. but since then I could sleep so well after the meal and when I wake up my stomach is flat.. i look good..feel so powerfull in the morning and burn the rest of the day a lot more energy as the the years before. Of course.. without any sport maybe this isn't the right way to eat. But it showed me.. all the theory about no carbs in the evening etc. Is bullsh**
The rest of the day I eat mostly only meat..fish etc.
@@giovannirusso9837 that’s great. I’m not as active as you are and I’m a short woman looking to get really lean without starving. I don’t know if low carb is best for my situation
@rachelbrondel5858 I only eat 2 big meals..1 big portion of protein after the gym..and 1 carbs+protein in the evening. I don't know how often and what you eat.. but at first i would advice everyone to reduce the number of meals ..better 2 big then 4 smaller .. and of course only clean food ..unprocessed food. And I do 1or 2 days per week of fasting 18-20hours. That helped me a lot . But everyone is different.. you have to find your own strategy 🙂
I am from Bangalore/India... I learned about intermittent fasting first time from you.. and after almost 2 years later , i could overcome the inertia to start that journey... I am on 36th day of OMAD and lost about 6 kgs so far... Thank you so much for the things you have been doing...
Happy New Year to you and your Family, dear Dr. Fung. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us. Your teachings have changed my life for ever and for the best. I am in the best shape of my life at 60! Wishing you all many blessings in 2024.
Low carb and low sugar has helped me lose weight, less joint pain, more energy. I am 47 year old female. I just started end of August 2023.
Thank you... Thank you ... Thank you . ..
Repetitive reinforcement is helpful (at least for me ! ) in making positive changes 🙏💪
Glad you are making videos again. Thank you for your work. You helped me shed 55 pounds of excess and change my lifetstyle. Happy new year!
Me too
Thanks Dr. Fung! Read 4 of your books this last month, and been watching you for the last 1 year since I had heart attack. Lost 88 pounds (now I'm 150 pounds for 183 cm guy), in 7 months cured my diabetes type 2 (from A1C at the hospital at the time of the heart attack 10.4, to now 4.02 in only 7 months and keep maintaining it there), cured my "essential" hypertension (without pills), and got rid of a tumor in my right side temple of 19 x 25 mm which I had for the last 4 years praying it won't turn to a malignant one (disappeared right after my second 5 day water fast, I guess autophagy did the job). Right after hospital I started keto diet, intermittent fasting, and on the 7th month I introduced extended fasts (10 days being the longest one I did so far) and keep practicing them for 48 to more hours once or twice a week or every next week. Never felt better in my life! I'm now light, enduring, quick, sharp etc. Dropped the statins 3 months after hospital. My morning insulin is typically around 3 but since I begun one meal a day 3 months ago, it is even 2.6 and two months now to 1.6.
Thank you so much!! Can't really repay you for the rest of my life. Thanks to all the youtube doctors like you in the low carb high fat fasting community! God bless all of you!! Love you! Be healthy, happy and prosperous!
For over a year I've watched tons of videos like this one from you and other likeminded doctors, and read 10 books so far in the last 2 months (from you, Ben Bickman, William Davis, Malcolm Kendrick, Mark Hyman, Bruce Lipton etc and keep reading more. I love reading and keep piling books at the que. Currently have 5 more books on the subjects waiting to finish the current one I read). For over 7-8 months I started writing on social media about my experience and the knowledge I accumulate. I've become influential for many people and they chose to embark on the same health path. I'm also influential to the people in "real" life who know me - friends and family members. My brother and his wife are long time diabetics type 2 and heavily obese, they now chose to follow my guides and started reading 3 of your books I bought them for Christmas presents.
Great. How many carbs you eat, can I see effect if I keep my carbs under 80-100 g per day. How old are you now? Jut curious.
@@tryingToBeHealthy I'm 51. I try to eat around 40 carbs net but don't count them as much. I do it more by the look of the things because I've been in fitness and bodybuilding for 25 years and already knew foods and their content. Probably I have days with less than 40 grams and days with 50-60 or a bit higher.
However, right after the hospital I immediately stopped eating anything with or from flour and anything with or from sugar - absolute zero, no matter if it's breads and stuff or dishes containing them. The effect was immediate - 1 - 1.5 kg per week every week. I lost 28 kg only in the first 6 months and I was not yet fully keto while still learning and finding out about it and the intermittent fasting. By then, I was still eating at least 3 apples a day, but while I was learning more about keto I stopped eating all fruits and since then I only eat a fruit very rarely.
Then, on the sixth month after the hospital I started doing extended fasts as well. But I too was amazed how effortlessly and continuously I was loosing weight week after week and so were those around me. I keep record in a book week by week and still recording in it every Saturday morning my weight and waste line. Helps me keep on track.
I can't tell you how happy I am and how good and positive I feel about myself with this amazing transformation. I'm forever grateful to Dr. Fung and others like him whom I watch and read. If you can, I highly recommend you to read his books, they are on another level compared to the videos.
@@stefanogilermo8261 Thank for the details. I don't want to be on keto, its hard for me, I just need to lose weight and I am loosing, and unsure how many max carbs I needed to lose weight. When you had heart attack, what was your eating pattern before ? How were your HDL and LDL levels?
@@tryingToBeHealthy I was eating like pig for the last 2 years prior to the hear attack. Mostly highly refined foods and carbs. But I was already diabetic but didn't know it because for many years I was eating every 3 hours + 4 protein shakes a day and lots of carbs.
My cholesterols were fine in the hospital but you know most doctors are ignorant about cholesterol and scared, they put me on statins which I rejected on the 4th month after due to their side effects.
It's not about the numbers, it's about their relation to one another that's important, and the specific type - whether or not they are oxidized - and most labs don't measure them.
@@stefanogilermo8261 thanks for additional info, this helps. I am taking rosuvastatin 5 mg for 2 years and now 10 mg since I am obese and my hs-crp is 7.75. My HDL is 30 for few years now and it did not go up, other numbers are in limit. I am 42 with no family history , with IF lost 8 lbs in 5 weeks, I am scared, I have small kid. I do take 30 mins 3 times a week exercise that I just started. I have quit processed food and was not consuming much of them before 1-2 times a week. This summer had a blast for 3 weeks, unlimited processed food, someone came to visit me from home country and then quit that . Now I use minimally processed foods, chicken, fish, vegetable salad and fruits, I am scared - there are lot of advises. I am not trying keto, I am not trying carnivore, Just minimizing carbs and eliminating processed carbs with being more active, will it help?
I am 64 and have fatty liver and thrilled my friend sent me your videos. She is teaching me how to eat healthy. I will watch your videos for sure ! Hope to make a big difference in my life by loosing weight and eating healthier for life. One day at a time !😊❤
Happy New Year Dr. Jason. Perhaps you have kept me healthy / alive at my 77th. 4ever grateful and to Dr. Amen for the past 10 years
DR FUNG is #1 for me in diet advice and nutritional advice professionalism! He is persuasive and articulate. Thank you Dr. Fung!!
It’s great that you’re back with snippets 👍😊
I started following Dr Fung's advice and lost 44 pounds. Unfortunately, I lapsed in my low carb IF habits and regained part of that weight. I'm back on track again and look forward to successful weight loss and just feeling so much better overall.
I am glad to see new videos with Jason Fung. Need to watch, watch, and watch again to stay focused on my health.
Alternate day fasting and you lose 10 pounds fat in. Month
You can do it! Sometimes we fall to learn how to get back up again. We believe in you! ✨✨
Good for you! New year, new opportunities! Be well!
@@Acquisition1913 That's my keto/fasting lifestyle now. Plus I throw in prolonged fasts here and there 👍
I also have gotten off track (numerous times) but am now 100% back on track, as well. One thing that has really helped is to watch a psychologist from Montreal (The Road to Health - Keto Done Right). She watches the videos of Jason Fung, Ken Berry, Ben Bikman, etc. and then further breaks the information all down and gives valuable information on how to keep getting the results that you want and living the life that you want to live. I really recommend watching Violet's videos! She gives credit to Jason Fung for educating her with his videos, and lost 80 pounds in 5 months. That was six years ago. I think you will find her material to be extremely helpful in staying on track.
I have a bachelor's in nutrition, earned in the 90s. Avocado, coconut oil, and ketosis were viewed as harmful, and pasta and bread were promoted as healthy complex carbs.
That's because the food industry fund the nutrition centres. If you go off script from what you are taught you lose your license.
Oh my! Thank you Dr. Fung. For sharing your knowledge to the world and for the courage.
At 57 years old I am living my healthiest life! I started IF in 2017 when I came across Dr Fung. I have never been overweight, but had terrible gut issues and my mental health suffered terribly. I eat high fat, high protein and minimal carbs. My weight has been around 116-119 lbs for 6.5 years. Dr Fung you are a legend!! 🤩
Hi Debbie, 59 year old woman here. I quit smoking cold Turkey 3 months ago to better the Afib, which has worked well till now. I gained 7 kgs and was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and now have about 25 kg total to loose to get to a healthy weight. I have just started IF, adding extra leafy greens for fibre gives me terrible diarrhea. I am very sensitive gut wise. How did you do this and are these leafy greens a must to counter the insulin resistance and lose weight on IF? I'd appreciate your input? Tx. Caroline
Thank you for your delivery of this information in a logical and non-preachy or judgmental way. You never try to scare or shame people, just offer incredibly persuasive, fact-based information to follow a healthy path. Much appreciated!
My goal for 2024 is to cleanup my diet. It's a fasting Monday for me, I have been fasting on Mondays for the past 2 months. I have had less cravings since I started watching my carbs.
As always Dr Fung, your information is spot on! appreciate you taking the time to educate us and lead us to better health in a simple way! forever grateful! 😘😊
Dr. Fung this has turned my R A and rosacea around. Your information has been invaluable to me. At 65 and 63 my husband and I are on this lifestyle. I am in no pain and his type 2 diabetes is now non existent. Thank you for sharing this information. It is life saving. What really touched me personally was I watched a video recently and on your shelf is a picture of The Sacred Heartbof Jesus. Bless you for all you do.
Thank you Dr Fung
You are a life saver
Thank you so much for your teachings Dr Fung. Your research on insulin resistance and intermittent fasting opened the eyes of cutting edge doctors, and in turn brought the knowledge to all those that bother to look for a solution for their health issues. I wish you and all your loved ones a fantastic New Year 🥳🥰
How I love potatoes. They are the thing I miss most about keto/carnivore.
Same, never met a potato I didn't love. 😅
I eat potatoes, lost 38lbs eating them
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Fung. My doctor recommended your work to me. I went from 192lbs to 162lbs. It is simple, I viewed numerous videos of your work, and then I made my charts accordingly to what foods can be eaten, when and how, it worked wonders. Like anything it's take some adjusting at first. I was in tuned by day 8...❤
What did your chart look like
@callie672 please share your chart
Dr. Fung my Canadian hero .
Thank you as always Jason ! your voice bringing us the 'voice or reason' has transformed so many lives !!
Reduced refined carb consumption in our house. husband and I are both down a pant size and only since September. I find it fairly easy to IF ( not eating between 8pm at night and 10am or even noon) as long as I consume enough protein and fat. Following the food pyramid I was never able to lose weight. Very thankful to find people in the Keto and carnivore space. Wishing everyone a healthy new year!🎊🎊
Happy New year to all of you ✨.. Thank you so much Dr Fung I am your hardcore fan 😊
I remember restaurant signs used to advertise “get your carbs here” and being on Weight Watchers wondering how I was going to be able to eat 11 servings of carbs, but no meat.
I just read both your books. Will start second daily fasting immediately and a low carb diet. I think you just saved my life. Thank you
Thank you Dr. Fung, I appreciate your time and help with my diabetic management!🎉
I unironically love the thumbnail 😂 Great message inside the video as always, thank you Dr. Fung!
Love all your videos. Ive been Fasting 18 to 22 hours a day for 4 years now! It's because of you. Also, I've been a vegetarian over 30years. It has always been about health for me.
Are you still vegetarian? No meat? No fish?
I hope you supplement vitamins B-12, B-6 etc
Very nutrient deficient food you eat
God bless you and your work dr Jason fung
Danke!
Thanks so much!
Hi....
First of all let me say that I am a huge fan of your researches and your guidance. And of course your video that you provide us with so much information.
I agree with everything Dr Fung is saying. For a year or so I've been doing some deep down research on weight loss and fasting and found out that everything Dr Jason Fung is saying is right and the proof is my self. I am healthy and I was before.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
The thumbnail image is the best. Great, smart, serious doc. Listen to this guy carefully if you have blood sugar issues.
I found you on another gentleman's channel and I am so happy that I have encountered your work.
Thank you Doc.
Blessings to You and Yours, for 2024...as to everyone else✌
Thank you Dr Fung, for your enlightening videos.
May you have an awesome 2024!
It's wonderful to see that Dr. Fung has made another video.
Glad to see you back on TH-cam! Have missed your posts!
Thanks Dr Fung. I'm on OMAD for a couple of days now since I saw your videos. I already feel the difference and feel a lot better.
Thank you Dr. Fung for this informative video, you were the first physician to go against the established nutrition dogma; a true disruptor! Keep up the great work, happy new year!
Dr Fung, changing lives
Great resource and information many of my patients follow these recommendation and are having amazing results. Thank you for all you do for the community.
Dr Fung you are a saviour
Thirty thousand two hundred and five views in 10 hours. You're a ROCK $TAR! We Love You, Dr. Fung...I have bought three of your books and will be buying more and telling others.
Dr. Jason Fung, thank you so much! I love your books
I appreciate your content a lot, Dr. Fung. Been watching your videos for about a month now, and find them super helpful, along with videos from Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Boz. Great having access to such knowledgeable and transparent professionals.
Ive read both your books dr fung and they helped me lose a lot of weight. Id like to add though, that we really shouldn't get carried away with bashing carbs. We need to make a distinction between processed foods, those with a ton of high fructose corn syrup, normal carb heavy foods like potatoes, brown rice, and natural fruits. The only bad foods are the processed ones. Everything else is ok, and that includes potatoes and brown rice. The problem is that almost all foods are processed in some way.
To add a note, its only when you are metabolically healthy and your body is capable of using these different sources of energy that eating natural carbs and fruits is completely fine. If on the other hand, you are diabetic after years of poor eating habits, then you need to fix that first, which means going low carb or fasting and completely eliminating all processed food until you fix your health issues
I love Jason Fung!!!
Soo awesome! Thank you very much. Love the analytics.
You are being very nice saying that "none of this was very obvious at the time". Thank you for all you do in the community for health and nutrition information. Hope you have a great year
I started my keto journey after reading Dr Fung’s book, The Diabetes Code”.
3 years later, 50 pounds lighter, off my diabetes meds (dr supervision) and I’m strong and healthy.
And I’m 65 years old!
If it’s not real food I strictly avoid it. Read the ingredients…if they have a bunch of ingredients put it back.
Happy New Year Dr. Fung and family. God bless
Happy New Year Dr Fung. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about how sugar, processed foods and starches are unhealthy! I love your videos and your books!
Good job, nice message

Lost 47lbs in 4 months, first 15 due to undiagnosed t2d. Last 32 in 2 months from low carb. Never hungry anymore. Love it.
i love listening to dr Fung
I have lost 31 pounds in 3 months, started at 230 pounds currently at 199 pounds, going low carb combined with 16:8. Low carb and intermittent fasting works! Also, very little exercise.
Thanks for the information... loved the new thumbnail.
Happy 2024 to you and yours, Dr Fung. Thank you.
Thank you for continuing to post videos on nutrition. They have proven to be very helpful to me.
This was excellent and so informative. Thank you!
Thanks my dear you are absolutely right well done.

You don't rest a single day!!!😅😅😅 Happy new year Dr Fung. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.🙏🙏🙏🙏
So glad to see you making videos again!
Happy New Year Dr Fung
Great content Doc. Thank you!
This is an important study and I would love to see the same study to include Keto subjects.
Glad you made new video again
I was diagnosed with type 2 a couple years ago, started on metformin then added ozempic, started losing weight, dropped the metformin because it made me throw up so much, continued losing weight and when I got to a 60 pound loss, I hit a plateau and eventually gained almost all of that weight back. Now, my husband has just been diagnosed with type 2 and started on metformin but had a bad reaction after 3 days. They're putting him on Jardiance and plan to prescribe Ozempic after he's been on the Jardiance a while. I just started this week with a fire in my belly to lose this damn weight again but KEEP it off, and have lost about seven pounds in six days so far but I know thats not sustainable and after watching a couple of Dr Fungs videos, I now get WHY calorie counting doesn’t work. I've ordered his Diabetic Code book, should be here in a week or so, but I'm determined to get me and hubby healthy! I'm fifty now and he's 49, if we don't make some drastic changes, we won't be here long and I don't want my kids to go through that and I don't want to lose my husband! It's literally do or die for us at this point. I get a bit overwhelmed with all the you can have this but not that, and all the different info out there. Sounds like Keto might be the best bet overall but as a newbie, its somewhat intimidating when it comes to knowing how and what to cook and all that. And how to manage a sweet tooth. Like my snack today was 20 grapes but I see now that grapes are bad, lol. Wish us luck!
