I would like to recommend dr Fung for the Nobel Prize for popularization of effective methods to reduce/reverse obesity, diabetes and all other associated maladies (strokes, Alzheimer, high blood pressure etc).
@@0anant0 This is February 2021. I'm recovered diabetic, my last A1C was 5.1. I do not use metformin anymore (nor any other diabetes medication). In 2014 my A1C went all the way to 7.4. Change of diet and intermittent fasting (nothing crazy) reduced my blood sugar to a normal level.
The thing I love most about fasting is that it frees up SO MUCH TIME during my day. When I fast, I am not spending any time shopping or cooking food. I can do other things to get out of the house or distract myself from thoughts about food. Unlike calorie counting, which essentially makes me obsessed with thoughts about food, meal planning, and looking up everything I eat on some app to figure out calories. Fasting is definitely the way to go!
That sounds really disordered. Sorry, seems to be working for you but fasting during the day (starving yourself to save calories for later) sounds like a one way ticket to binge-eating disorder.
@@violetwade6528 Apparently you're behind the information curve regarding Intermittent Fasting. You aren't "saving up calories to eat later"...you are not eating for a specific period of time, then eating within a specific window in order to keep your insulin as low as possible during your fasting window. It's ONLY when insulin is low that your body can access its fat stores and utilize them for energy. You can have whatever you'd like to eat within your eating window...but the hormones ghrelin and leptin prevent you from binging during your eating window. When you Intermittent Fast, you engage all sorts of healthy behaviors AND can reverse Type 2 diabetes which is epidemic in our society today.
And to imply a morbidly obese person is going to fast is Ridiculous! They can’t even cut back do you really see them skipping Any meals? It’s not going to happen especially when they’re use to eating Many times a day.
Make sure and research healthy and science-based dieting. This doctor is a wonderful man to learn from. We ALL should know by Now about the extreme importance of Dumping toxic and disease causing SUGAR.#UGH! BUT, the healthy fats are just as Important. Especially Avoid the processed seed oils, such as canola, peanut, sunflower, soy, ..the list goes on and on. The few good heart- healthy oils include olive, avocado, and coconut oils. The major focus of losing excess weight should be about attaining Good Health!!😉 Good luck, everybody!🤗
crazy story. my dad lost his drivers license 10 Or so years ago because of the diabetes and it wasn't safe for him to drive. he basically pulled a cartman. about 2 years ago at the age of 88 he had quit eating and his alzheimers was reaching a terrible point. we thought he was getting ready to die. this spring his doctor declared him cured of diabetes. he is 90 now so this week I discovered this lecture series and it answered some things we didn't understand. 1. 10 years ago he weighed 230lb, he now weighs under 180lb but he has zero sagging skin. 2. he cured his diabetes 3. his alzheimers is A typical. he still recognizes us all. he seems to remember the past the best but he can still carry on a conversation, and other things, 4. the last check on his heart disease found an unusually healthy heart. thanks for sharing this, I'm looking forward to greatly increasing his fat intake to see if we can bring him back a bit. I myself have started intermittent fast with a keto diet to fix my own diabetes.
The biggest obstacle to fasting is that it requires discipline and willpower. Stopping eating is the same as stopping drinking alcohol or stopping smoking. Denying yourself of pleasure is hard. Overeating is a form of addiction.
It is harder than quitting smoking, because you can quit smoking cold turkey and kind of forget about it eventually, you cannot just quit eating completely.
I'm 55 pounds over weight and it is all my fault. Lazy! Lazy! Lazy! Depression, life, over eatting, not doing the things that kept me in shape. But thank you for this information. I'm on it, fasting. 3, 5, 7 days? I need prayer and encouragement. Self wake up! 145 here I come! 200 to 145? Yes I can! 😊
I agree with those calling for Dr. Fung to receive a Nobel Prize. Rarely in today's healthcare do you have a doctor advise you with cutting-edge (thousands of years old) diet modifications that actually work. Not only that but it's balanced. You can still enjoy an occasional this or that, which is what makes dietary changes so hard long term. Dr. Fung, thank you for putting your patients first and spreading the message that we can and will impact our own health. You are saving me from a life of diabetes and I couldn't be more grateful!
I find that with the money I save on my food budget through fasting, I can easily afford to buy the higher quality foods like organic grass fed / grass finished beef.
He's improved and extended not only the life of my 75 year old father, but me as well when I had to find out how dad was losing all that weight. Dr Fung and Dr Jamnadas are angels here to save us from what capitalism did to our food.
You are right 👍 but I say more 🎉 This man lower my A1c from 7.ish to 5. 0 and I really appreciate it ❤❤❤ Because everyone I knew that had diabetes didn't have a clue 🤷 they were eating rackless 😢 so yea I love Dr. Jason Fung ❤🙏🏿💪 I forgot to say God directed me to him. Thank You God in the Name of Jesus ❤❤❤❤
@tondalea7097 my doctor says he doesn't believe nine fasting!!! I was shocked. The benefits are amazing. Makes me question any advice I get from the doctor now.
I lost 15 kilograms with intermittent fasting, 20:4. But two years later it all started coming back. The doctor said it could be hormones or thyroid, but intermittent fasting is not working for me a anymore. I even started going to the gym for three months and I gained weight 🙁 On the other hand I was just fed up with everything, I went on vacation to Greece for ten days and I ate like a cow there, from dusk till dawn and I lost two kilograms. Something's doesn't add up that's for sure.
I find his lectures remarkable. I am in medical field. When I mention fasting most of my coworkers tell me I am starving myself. I do intermittent fasting with an occasional longer fasts.
Same. Work in a hospital. I told my coworkers I couldn't join their ice cream party because I was fasting. They thought i was crazy. I find people that work at hospitals have the worst diets considering they work in medical field.
People follow their own believes, I.e. CAN'T explore, contemplate anything out of their own truth, regardless of their education, religion, culture, tradition etc. My point, girl you get it! Heng in there and enjoy YOUR way to be healthy! Thumbs up 👍🥰😇
@Belinda Wallace Do you see any changes in your health while doing only intermittent fasting? Since combining intermittent fasting and a one day fasting day what improvements have you seen in your health?
The one thing I've learned about fasting is ...the more you eat, the more you eat. One meal a day is best for me. You make it to dinnr and you r full. Couple hours later u r asleep. Its over. Fill up on decaf hot tea during the day and before you know it's time to leave work
Your on the right track forward now! Every now and then if I start feeling particularly hungry I will eat two times per day. But that doesn't happen very often. It always best to stay attuned to what our bodies are telling us. Most times it's very easy to keep eating down to OMAD. Here's hoping you're still making great progress!😊
Exactly what I’ve been doing!! I love that for the first time ever I have control over food, it gets easier can last sometimes to 8 pm one meal a day! My inflammation went away my knees feel sooo much better can walk up stairs with both legs now , no handrail. Before used one leg, upstairs. Brains feel clear!! Mood uplifted!! God bless
I am a RN who work on a cardiology unit. A large percentage of my patients are Type II diabetics. I understand all of this and I get so pissed off at work... OMG!! And it’s unbelievable how we are so brainwashed to be fixated on our patients’ glucose levels all day long. I have NEVER seen an endocrinologist order a serum insulin level. Ever!! And it amazes me! Thank you so much Dr. Fung for properly educating us on our health! You’re awesome!!
@Erica Smith It's been two years since you posted this, but if you recieve this message I want to say Thank You for sharing that Information. Just Mind-Boggling to be sure!!WOW!!!!
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 you are so welcome! Thank you so much. Since I posted that comment, I’ve moved on from the cardiology unit after nearly 20 years. I couldn’t do it anymore. I am now doing case management where I can educate my patients more effectively. Thank you so much!
It's crazy how hospitals won't let patients have beef, fat, or salt in the cardiac units. But they can have all of the refined carbs they want. You really have to become self educated, it's life or death.
Where were you Dr. Fung when I was young. It would have saved me from yo-yoing all these years. I am thankful to TH-cam Jennifer Scott who recommended your work. You are so clear and make so much sense that I started intermittent fasting a month ago and already feel better with no cravings. It is never too late: I am 77 years old. Thank you.
I agree and he's catastrophe for the medical community, the vitamin an or supplement companies who depend on the sick and depressed deceased populations to sustain their wealth
@@lindag5076 I’ve been IF since May 1 of this year. I’m down 14 pounds. Well, actually, the first month I didn’t fast, I only cut carbs. I moved into IF in late June, I’m losing 1-2 pounds a week. Two weeks ago I added walking. I’m up to 1-1/2 miles per day. I have really bad knees and will be getting both knees replaced, but I wanted to get healthy and lose weight prior to surgery. I’m eating 2 meals a day for 3 days, then 1 meal a day for 4 days. I did 1 long fast for 55 hours and just started another long fast today. I’m eating eggs, very large salads of fresh greens, vinaigrette dressing, salmon, tuna, chicken, avocado, kale, nuts. Basically, I cut all processed carbs and all fruit. I also use real butter and extra virgin olive oil for my fats. I take Vit D3/K2, Vit B complex, zinc, and potassium supplements.
@@lindag5076 when I first started IF I went from dinner to a late breakfast. Sleeping is 7-8 hours of fast, so I just stretched my breakfast as long as I could. Then once I eat a meal (when I’m doing 2 meals a day) I eat my 2nd meal 4 hours later. Making sure I get good fats in to help me stretch my fast to the next day. Hope this is helpful. It’s just what I am doing.
Got rid of my type two .... Doctor said omg the metformin i prescribed is working like a charm!!!! Im like.... Nope never took it, she yelled at me and said thats very dangerous and that i will forever have diabetes lmao o k ive been doing this for two months and when i eat lots of my carbs on my cheat day my blood sugar stays around 128
I remember I watched this video in 2016 when I had started leaning about Fasting, and 5 years later studying this science, and I watch this video, I'd say this video is the BEST source of information you can learn about fasting. Although Dr, Fung speaks in a casual manager, but there is a lot of information in it, especially when he talks about lowering insulin. Lowering insulin is a huge topic related to fasting and Autophagy.After 5 years of learning and practicing fasting, I say Dr. Fung has one of the best understanding in the science of fasting
I'm right there with you, Ben. My first "fast" was the Master Cleanse about 12 years ago. Then I attempted a water fast about 5 years ago for 23 days and felt the best I've ever felt. Now, I'm looking for sustainability, and Dr. Fung makes it easy to grasp and implement long term.
@ieshiaaa where to learn aboutthe master fast?? 23 days is a long gig time.. id be afraidnid die..!? Teying to get back ninth fasting after time away from it
I got rid of my diabetes and cholesterol within two months of fasting and no carb diet.When I went to see my dr.he was shocked . so was I .Your book is also amazing of course . Very easy to understand with a lot of scientific back up. I have told about your fasting method to many family member and friend who at first were very skeptical but seeing me how healthy and thin I have become, they all following it now! every one is greeting great results. Thank you so much no wonder you are my hero!
I lost 10kg through fasting and I feel SO powerful. I feel so happy and confident it’s unbelievable, didn’t spend a penny on diets and trainers, did it all through fasting :’)
Well done👏just a quick question. Did you feel shaky or get headaches for the first few days ? I tried one day and felt very weird but my husband swears by intermittent fasting. Thanks for your inspiration
Fasting has been a revelation. Jason described my history of reduced calorie diet failure perfectly. I now fast for 2, 3 or 4 days. The big difference is that I don't feel hungry, tired and cold all the time. In fact I go cycling a lot, it's fine especially as I know I'm burning pure fat as I cycle. Thanks Jason. Weight-watchers is a money-making scheme where repeat business is key.
Been doing a 16:8 for about 150 days now, lost 50 lbs. The crazy thing is I've been catching my legs bouncing around when I'm standing still, because my metabolism is ramped up for the first time in my life. Feels amazing
OMG Jacob, I have been doing the same thing! I was wondering what was going on. Thought maybe I was just being anxious, but I have more energy! In the middle of a five day fast ( I hope) .
I did this 3 yrs ago and I was SO excited about how I felt I couldn't sleep... Everytime I stepped on the scale I lost more and more weight. My energy was phenomenal... never felt like that...EVER...It took me 3 yrs of eating the SAD diet after I broke my femur that I gained it back... I'm trying to do it again....but it's a MINDSET...good luck everyone
I did this back in 2019 and lost 40 lbs. Then COVID hit and ruined everything. This Spring I said no more excuses and have been OMAD for 4 months this Thursday. Have to keep up the mindset it's forever-I'm too old to be yo-yo dieting anymore.
I did the fasting without knowing that I was doing it. The reason was I was under stress and all I did was slept, went to work and I had no appetite. I ate only once a day. in 2 months I lost 30lb. But once I was stress free I still kept the weight off because I didn't like to eat as much. I had no health problem and I was able to exercise and much more. before I couldn't walk a mile. I would have rather done it Dr Jason way.
Dr Jason Fung’s book on the complete guide to fasting, changed my life and that of many patients. As a doctor who also struggled with weight and metabolic syndrome, I would usually tell my patients that you can’t cure hypertension or diabetes easily or even at all; but after reading his book, I realized a lot of the teachings were based on convenience, commerce and a culture that sustains pharmaceutical companies, not the actual science. I reversed high blood pressure and worsening obesity without any drugs and achieved a high HDL (good) cholesterol for the first time in a decade. Thanks to “medical fasting”, taking long daily walks and not counting calories
You've changed our lives Jason. Can't even make you understand how our health has changed in an already active life we live. Such an amazing lad you are. Thank you so so much for the gift of sharing your observations.
I fast for 16 hours/8hours feeding window. I do 20/4 when i am having a meal in a restaurant. I absolutely love it. I am a volume eater so having all my meals in a couple hours is great.
@@galemartin3277 Lowering carbs is essential to weight loss. Especially *permanent* weight loss. I don't do full on Keto, I never have. But I have lost weight (about 40 pounds) and kept it off for several years now by eating healthy, IF, and lowering carbs to about 100gms per day! I have maybe 10 pounds left to lose!😊
I am 66. My innerself has been telling me to stop eating so much for about 2yrs! I am diabetic...have a pacemaker...high blood pressure...psoriasis...and along comes doctor Fung and I have finally gained the confidence that fasting will cure my problems. Was taking 80 units of Lantis insulin a day and 30 of lispro a day. I am now to the point that I haven't taken any insulin in almost 2 days and the same with my BP and heart medicine. As long as I walk short periods several times a day and only eat one small meal a day I am seeing promising results
So it's been 2 Years now... Would you be so kind as to share an update -; good or bad. I'm just starting my second week off intermittent fasting and am reading his books
Last year I tried lower calories and low carbs and more exercise, it wasn’t until I did intermittent fasting did my weight started coming off faster. I lost 25 pounds. Beginners mistake is eating too much during your 8 hours of non fasting. 6 months later during holiday I stopped fasting and gained 10 pounds back. Now I am back to training my brain to get back to healthy eating and IF. It 100% works and you can keep the weight off. I used Dr Fung videos for mental coaching.
I've been on the OMAD diet for two weeks and have lost almost 10 pounds. I worked my way through the other fasting levels until I was ready for this one. I fast from 7 pm to 6 pm with a one hour eating window and I find this actually pretty easy with a Higher energy level. I'm down a total 0f 35 pounds in less than 5 months. I'm making this a life style and love it, along with working out, Its amazing
I’ve been fasting for a few months. 18:6 high protein low carbs. Fasting made me appreciate my meals I do eat. Before I had zero control and shoved anything into my mouth. This is the way to live life
I started IF back in 2012 and do it daily between 16-20 hours. This technique has probably had one of the most profound effect on my health. Combine it was exercise and it is extremely potent. Lost around 20kg, feeling great and have never looked back.
TheNovelty8theory nice to hear . I did IF for 4 months and lost 10 kg and was hitting the weights on a fasted state and felt great , heaps energy . I ate between 4 pm to 10 pm but recently I started getting stomach aches and as it's turned out mr doctor says I have an ulcer so I'm disappointed that he told me to eat more regularly to absorb the stomach acids and now I've gone off my IF and I feel terrible so why do u think this happened , I'm wondering if there is a correlation between fasting and ulcers . Also I'm trying to find out if I can keep fasting even with an ulcer . Any suggestions would b appreciated thx
intermittentmaniac strange that, would have thought fasting was a way to reduce stomach acid and actually allow the ulcer to heal more effectively, like a rest period for the digestive system. What was your diet like while doing IF? Could this have been a cause?
May be related to the late hours you were eating? Did you eat up till 10 pm then go to sleep? That will give you acid reflux. It might promote acid production.
I lost 8 kgs, I have tried every diet known to man kind in the past. My intention was to reduce LDL cholesterol and reduce insulin resistance. I refused Statins for thirty years. I fast and feel great 5 days out of 7. have one meal a day and I am a vegan . So thankful to you Dr Fung
Dear Dr. Fung. I've studied your work for about a year and a half before I self-experimented on water fasting. I started with a few short; 3, 5, and 7 day water fast, before going for my ultimate goal, of a 40 day water fast. I thought it would be interesting, to check my blood glucose, twice per day and my blood keytones once per day. I was shocked by my results. My blood glucose never went higher than 96 and no lower than 64 on my blood glucose meter. My blood ketone went as high as 7.4 and simply went back and forth, not going lower than 4.0. Sadly, I only was able to make it to the 36th day of my water fast, due to the most extreme nausea I've ever had in my 51 years of my life, due to contracting COVID-19 from a family member. I broke my water fast with some chicken bone broth. I ended up being hospitalized from COVID-19 Not once was I hungry after the 7th day without food. I lost 48 pounds in the 36 day water fast, and I know, with 100% certainty, I would have gone the remaining 4 days, to fulfill my water fast goal of 40 days, had I not gotten extremely ill. I know water fasting works! Thank you Dr. Fung!
Im amazed by how few followers you have. Proper informative and easily digestable video, this one is gonna be my goto source/link when trying to explain to friends/family why i do fasting (lost 26lb so far). Thank you. Cant wait to get started on "the obesity code" book i ordered of amazon! Keep up the good work :)
God bless Dr. Fung. I have had Type 2 diabetes for about 10 years. Was up to 3 different oral meds and my blood sugar kept going up over time. I've been fasting and eliminating sugar/carbs for a little over a month and i've lost weight and my blood sugar has gone way down. I have stopped taking glipizide and Januvia and am now only on Metformin. My morning blood sugar is consistently under 100. Simply amazing My sugars are better than anytime in the last 10 years.
Keep consistently doing intermittent fasting and keeping your carbs low and very soon you can say 'bye-bye' to metformin as well!! Drugs should only be used as a last ditch effort, when Nothing else will work. Or for a very short period, until your own health-building nutritional lifestyle has a chance to heal your body on its own!😉
I've been living a lie all my life 😭 I even gave up on diets and gain crazy weight. After trying IF cut sugar and carbs I lost 16kg in 2 months... Now I sleep all night, I have more energy, I don't crave sugar (I was a sugar and chips addict all my life), when I eat I don't feel hungry anymore... God Bless you Dr. Fung 🙏🏽 Sir You are my saviour 🙏🏽💜
With 18/6 ours intermittent fasting and low carb diet for 6 weeks now, I don't use insuline anymore, instead of 240u a day. I lost 8 kg and feel super. Dr. Fung, thanks to you for explaning how to overcome my Diabetes type 2. It makes sooo much sense. I have full confidence it will keep working. I eat more fats now, and it works super! Dr. Fung is my hero!
I always get that confused. People are promoting fasting as a diet and I forget to pray and to treat it like it is because it came from the Bible instead of treating it like what the world thinks that it is.
I am so grateful that I found your videos Dr Fung! Now I have listen to your 36 minutes of superinteresting and clear knowledge about fasting. I am so glad. I will listen again tomorrow. I am swedish I need to hear twice to understand everything. My lucky feeling is getting bigger and my worries about diets , and if fasting is ”dangerous” in some way, s getting smaller when I really start to understand how good and easy and normal it is for the body to fast. I am learning thanks to you! Thank you ever so much Dr Fung!
Very Good Dr. Fung. I am in chapter 3 of "The Obesity Code", so far very insightful. I wish I had this knowledge 20 years ago. My mother may still be alive, and I would maybe have a more productive life, physically. I have been doing intermittent fasting now for 2 weeks. Everyone thinks I am nuts, but I feel better, I'm losing weight, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And that light is, reaching my weight goal, being healthy, and never taking Type 2 Diabetic meds ever again. Thanks!!!!
@oneofseven777, I feel exactly the same! My main goal is to reverse my t2D; a) to not take meds for the rest of my life (however long that would have been had I continued down the Metformin/Insulin path)? Incidentally, I was terrible abt taking, which turns out may have been good a thing. And b) associated costs, etc. Added bonus, the wt loss. My Dr actually prescribed me to do the Keto Diet the day I was diagnosed. My have also saved me strictly by accident?! Anyway, I have the same feelings as you. And when I mention this anyone, all very skeptical...and I'm a medical professional! Thank God for Dr. Fung!
Thank you Dr. Fung. You are a Maverick in our society. This information should be used to keep most of our hospitals almost empty. May God speed this timely information to the masses. The revealing knowledge our ancestors knew for centuries. God Bless.
"Reduce calories and increase exercise" will always fail! Giving the body time to fast will not only make you lose weight but also it will restore your health! Thank you. The most valuable lecture I have ever heard. ❤
Bodybuilders are the leanest specimens on the planet and they get that way by reducing calories and increasing exercise, even the natural ones follow this protocol. Fung is wrong on this one big time, both methods are efficient tho fasting definitely yields far more health benefit.
Its so amazing 👏 the hunger goes away by the third day, completely gone and energy goes up. Great strategy to break the Plato stage Thank you Doc Fung, you're a great human being ❤️
I eat once a day in the morning. Fast for the remaining 22 hours. Ate chicken, and vegetables drank water only when thirsty . Been 3 weeks, lost about 20 lbs. I feel great ,but have more to go to pre pregnancy weight about 10lbs left pray for me. 3 kids later my body is still struggling but , working 💪
Jason is such a good teacher, easy to understand explanation , humour, and repetition and good visual aids so we can be de-programmed from our false concepts of weight loss and have that aha moment of realisation of the real truth .
~Thank you so much...I have decided to push food aside except for one meal a day....nurse a cup of coffee through out the day & drink plenty of water. Not even a week....& I feel much better. Have about 40-50 lbs to get rid of & thankful for you because I could not stop binging everyday. Love your podcast & examples.🙂💞
Dear Brittany, I hope you are still doing well with IF and Keto. Years ago, I started Keto to help with my epilepsy. I lost a lot of weight and still weigh what I weighed in college. I had gotten up to 203 pounds and now weigh 110 pounds. God bless you and all that listen to wise teachers like Jason Fung.
@@carlaharker9081 thank you SO much Carla for your kind words!! I am still on track going on 8 months down 80ish pounds from 198 to 126! Your story is inspiring! Congrats on the amazing will power!!
@@akidandherwackyadventures3439 No carbs at all....no sugar ever. Never cheated not once. Nothing processed!! Only whole food. I was 98% meat maybe an occasional strawberry. I only ate 1 or 2 times a day with a minimum of 1 , 18 hour fast. I am 2 years in, was 203 now 120 haven't gained anything back. The 1st 1 or 2 months are the hardest then it gets easier!!! Not only lost the weight be I feel better then I have ever in my life nothing tastes as good as I feel today.
White Okay th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6K7NWahp9y3ir1gVAwysOCHOOPSnWZbw . I got it from my browser's history. I know that it's really frustrating to be over-weighted but all is possible with a strong determination. Good luck…..
It could be the most important video on TH-cam. I fasted all Monday and even did a 30 mile cycle ride. Today I'll eat normally. Thursday I'll fast again. It's taken a week but my body is now happy to burn fat without feeling any hunger-craving. You just need to get over that first week or two, when your body is screaming for carbs. It will stop, trust me (& Jason). If I just reduce calories slightly then my body never stops screaming for carbs.
It's not many times I'm impressed however watching this really caused me to say wow I need to ask - do you know about the recent discovery people all over this planet are seeing improvement I learned about this from reading website take a look now search google for ralfs remedy method
For 10 days I’ve cut obvious sugars (cookies, ice cream, etc.), and fasted from 8pm-12:30pm. I’ve lost 2 lbs. Now I’m going to start also focusing on cutting carbs. One thing I’ve already noticed is that I definitely have more energy!
My personal experience is freedimnfrom FEAR OF HUNGER. Then one learns to respect hunger as biological need and emotional need. One learns to respect the body and show it by not burdening it by dumping excess food exploiting organs to do over work. This begins lifestyle modification based on cognitive change through knowledge based eating. Dr. Is a catalyst for many. Thank you
Love your ides. Makes so much sense. I can t loose weight the so called normal way. I tried IF for one week with a 16/8 fasting window. I lost 2.4 lbs. I think IF is the answer . It really works. Thanks.
Thank you!!! I’ve been fasting for two weeks now, no artificial sugars, just water, no fast food and no eating from sunrise to sunset and other things. I actually am converting to vegetarian and maybe one day full on vegan and I stumble onto this video. This really helps me put things into perspective. I’m fasting for spiritual reasons but during this fast I realized my eating habits need to change. Thank you for this information. You’ve gained another new follower.
Don't go vegetarian, please. God gave us K9 teeth for a reason. You will be starving yourself of vitamins and minerals.Dont fall into the trends of veganism. It's not healthy.
What a great video. I saw the length, I saw that it was just some guy talking, and I thought it'd be boring, but then I was engrossed throughout the whole thing. You're amazing at giving speeches, and you definitely succeeded in convincing me to fast. I really appreciate your work here, thank you for making this!
I started intermittent fasting and lost 30 lb but I had to stop for a medical procedure and gained it all back! Now I'm starting over on a 12-hour fasting cycle so I can take my medication with food. It was really easy to lose the first time and I didn't get hungry so I have high expectations that I will be successful again. Thank you Doctor Fung!
Thankyou for exposing the insidious trap of diet calorie restrictions with lots of exercise. It never works in the long time and makes the situation so much worse. It looks like we're the problem, failure, but it's not us. This false information is causing so much sorrow and failure and blame. People just think we just aren't following the advice given but many of us do and try so hard for so long and then blamed, shamed, looked down upon and self esteem plummets.
as humans,we are very stupid...we clean ours home and after this,in homes we stay better because these are cleaner but...we dont clean that home...wich is our body!!! crazy!! I follow every day,intermittent fasting for about 18/20 hours and every two weeks I do a fast with only water for 3 days and..my life changed in better,my body also changed,my insulin response and all my health and mind changed! if I tried to do in other way as in my past,all goes bad,so fast,intermittent fasting,are the best way to go for my life.Thanks for all your help and details Dr Jung,you are right in all ;-)
I am following intermittent fasting method suggested by Dr Jason Fung and really feeling good. Just 3 weeks back I started intermittent fasting and by now lost about 2.5 kg. My target is lonnnnggg away as more 25 kg's to loose really tough time for me. Thanks Dr Jason for telling this method to the world as this method don't costs anything
I'm so happy w my doctor he said what are you doing!? I told him intermittent fasting, calories, low carb and working out.... He was such a nice supporting doctor he told me Just Do It!!!!! Lol 😆..... I feel like he is a great doctor and now he watches Dr.Jason haha
It works, I needed to lose 15 pounds, so far I’ve lost 8 with 16/8 fasting and high protein/fat and low carbs. Thanks 🙏 it’s so easy compared to low calorie diets. Now I’m trying full day fasting.
it literally gets easier. your ghrelin hormone goes way up. 18 hours was daunting to me, just last week i did 40 hours of a fast and only broke the fast because i needed something to drink before going to the pub hahaha. i wasn't even hungry.
i was recommended to watch your videos today and i felt this. i was constantly feeling depressed at my weight loss journey; gaining weight despite eating lesser than before and working out minimally twice, thrice per week. giving this another try! thank you.
been 2 month and have been doing omad with a ketogenic diet.. first week my feet was no longer swollen and l could wear my shoes. l started at 261 and after 2 months 243. l am feeling better and have not had any gout since l started. Also no eating and sleeping during the day, fasting keeps me awake. l did start omad because of health reasons and happy to see results in a short time.

I would like to recommend dr Fung for the Nobel Prize for popularization of effective methods to reduce/reverse obesity, diabetes and all other associated maladies (strokes, Alzheimer, high blood pressure etc).
I bet
Agree.
And Canada's highest civilian honor -- and also to Cole
@@0anant0 This is February 2021. I'm recovered diabetic, my last A1C was 5.1. I do not use metformin anymore (nor any other diabetes medication). In 2014 my A1C went all the way to 7.4. Change of diet and intermittent fasting (nothing crazy) reduced my blood sugar to a normal level.
@@annawarner1078 Wow! What a motivating story! Very commendable! 👍
The thing I love most about fasting is that it frees up SO MUCH TIME during my day. When I fast, I am not spending any time shopping or cooking food. I can do other things to get out of the house or distract myself from thoughts about food. Unlike calorie counting, which essentially makes me obsessed with thoughts about food, meal planning, and looking up everything I eat on some app to figure out calories. Fasting is definitely the way to go!
And constantly cleaning kitchen 😄
Hello, what protocole you are following? (5:2, 16:8, etc)
@Kane Can you say "extreme gas"???
That sounds really disordered. Sorry, seems to be working for you but fasting during the day (starving yourself to save calories for later) sounds like a one way ticket to binge-eating disorder.
@@violetwade6528 Apparently you're behind the information curve regarding Intermittent Fasting. You aren't "saving up calories to eat later"...you are not eating for a specific period of time, then eating within a specific window in order to keep your insulin as low as possible during your fasting window. It's ONLY when insulin is low that your body can access its fat stores and utilize them for energy. You can have whatever you'd like to eat within your eating window...but the hormones ghrelin and leptin prevent you from binging during your eating window.
When you Intermittent Fast, you engage all sorts of healthy behaviors AND can reverse Type 2 diabetes which is epidemic in our society today.
Governments won't promote fasting because it's free, everyone should be taking note of this health advice
Thank you Dr. Fung, for actually promoting something that doesn't cost the consumer anything. It shows that you really do care about humanity!
So true. He deserves to be recognised for his work. Saving people from the hands of the drugs companies takes a kind hearted person to do.
He sells books. He sees patients. It's not like he's getting nothing out of it.
And it's hugely GOOD for you!!
And to imply a morbidly obese person is going to fast is Ridiculous! They can’t even cut back do you really see them skipping Any meals? It’s not going to happen especially when they’re use to eating Many times a day.
It’s rather shocking! Doctors typically focus on profit maximization. Dr Fong’s heart isn’t is his wallet.
The primary reason diets are promoted imo comes down to the fact that when you diet, companies and gurus can make money off you. Fasting is FREE.
Exactly. This is free and saves money
I read the book by the person who founded weight watchers .It was a hoot! weight watchers is dumb .Dr Fung is smart
I think I counted 25,692 uses of “right?” That’s a whole lot of fasting, right???
Make sure and research healthy and science-based dieting. This doctor is a wonderful man to learn from. We ALL should know by Now about the extreme importance of Dumping toxic and disease causing SUGAR.#UGH! BUT, the healthy fats are just as Important. Especially Avoid the processed seed oils, such as canola, peanut, sunflower, soy, ..the list goes on and on. The few good heart- healthy oils include olive, avocado, and coconut oils. The major focus of losing excess weight should be about attaining Good Health!!😉 Good luck, everybody!🤗
@@barbaramoran8690 I skimmed that book.
crazy story. my dad lost his drivers license 10 Or so years ago because of the diabetes and it wasn't safe for him to drive. he basically pulled a cartman. about 2 years ago at the age of 88 he had quit eating and his alzheimers was reaching a terrible point. we thought he was getting ready to die.
this spring his doctor declared him cured of diabetes. he is 90 now
so this week I discovered this lecture series and it answered some things we didn't understand.
1. 10 years ago he weighed 230lb, he now weighs under 180lb but he has zero sagging skin.
2. he cured his diabetes
3. his alzheimers is A typical. he still recognizes us all. he seems to remember the past the best but he can still carry on a conversation, and other things,
4. the last check on his heart disease found an unusually healthy heart.
thanks for sharing this, I'm looking forward to greatly increasing his fat intake to see if we can bring him back a bit.
I myself have started intermittent fast with a keto diet to fix my own diabetes.
Wow amazing history ❤️good luck 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
“Pulled a cartman?” Want to understand what he did but don’t understand this phrase.
@@hischild3759 so long ago I don't even remember commenting.
Basically he fasted so long that his body ate all the bad bits in his brain
@@hischild3759 South Park reference- Cartman- eats everything and does no physical activity.

Kim, how is your dad doing and how’re you doing? My mom has brain diminishing issues. I’d like to try this method for her.
The biggest obstacle to fasting is that it requires discipline and willpower. Stopping eating is the same as stopping drinking alcohol or stopping smoking. Denying yourself of pleasure is hard. Overeating is a form of addiction.
It is harder than quitting smoking, because you can quit smoking cold turkey and kind of forget about it eventually, you cannot just quit eating completely.
As a ex smoker I totally agree. I strongly believe that fasting is easier for ex addicts.
@@majo3796 Harder than drinking and smoking. Need food to survive and it sucks
so true. I stopped and started at least 3 times. I need discipline. 😢
It depends. As soon as I learned the benefits of fasting I was so excited that I did a 72 hour fast (even though I had never fasted before)
I listen to you almost everytime I'm fasting. pushes me through.
me too! I listen to his videos throughout the day to stay on track. i
I watch his videos when I eat my one meal a day. Keeps me from craving bad foods and feeling good for doing the right thing...finally.
Me too
Same here 👍
I❤ how listening and reading about fasting and others success motivates me to continue IF
The fridge and freezer analogy is GOLD! So simple and easy to understand.
I'm 55 pounds over weight and it is all my fault. Lazy! Lazy! Lazy! Depression, life, over eatting, not doing the things that kept me in shape. But thank you for this information. I'm on it, fasting. 3, 5, 7 days? I need prayer and encouragement. Self wake up! 145 here I come! 200 to 145? Yes I can! 😊
Wishing you all the best 💕
❤❤
Any uodate, hope you are overcoming it.
Darn right you can!! How are you doing now?
Stay strong and stick with it❤
You can do it!!!!
I agree with those calling for Dr. Fung to receive a Nobel Prize. Rarely in today's healthcare do you have a doctor advise you with cutting-edge (thousands of years old) diet modifications that actually work. Not only that but it's balanced. You can still enjoy an occasional this or that, which is what makes dietary changes so hard long term. Dr. Fung, thank you for putting your patients first and spreading the message that we can and will impact our own health. You are saving me from a life of diabetes and I couldn't be more grateful!
I find that with the money I save on my food budget through fasting, I can easily afford to buy the higher quality foods like organic grass fed / grass finished beef.
TRUE, TRUE, TRUE!!!!!
Right...
Me too!!!! You are so right!!!
What’s a good fasting food plan.?
@@ET-ri4dt I would start out by just skipping breakfast at first :)
This man should have MILLIONS of subscribers. A low-cost effective way to lose weight which many humans can benefit from. I love this man!
He's improved and extended not only the life of my 75 year old father, but me as well when I had to find out how dad was losing all that weight. Dr Fung and Dr Jamnadas are angels here to save us from what capitalism did to our food.
Unfortunately people think this is extreme and the average doctor will say the same ! Fasting =life !
You are right 👍 but I say more 🎉 This man lower my A1c from 7.ish to 5. 0 and I really appreciate it ❤❤❤ Because everyone I knew that had diabetes didn't have a clue 🤷 they were eating rackless 😢 so yea I love Dr. Jason Fung ❤🙏🏿💪 I forgot to say God directed me to him. Thank You God in the Name of Jesus ❤❤❤❤
@tondalea7097 my doctor says he doesn't believe nine fasting!!! I was shocked. The benefits are amazing. Makes me question any advice I get from the doctor now.
Dr. Fung is leading people out of the matrix!
Isn't it incredible how we can essentially break free from the unhealthy habits we have just by not eating?
Amazing.
I lost 15 kilograms with intermittent fasting, 20:4. But two years later it all started coming back. The doctor said it could be hormones or thyroid, but intermittent fasting is not working for me a
anymore. I even started going to the gym for three months and I gained weight 🙁 On the other hand I was just fed up with everything, I went on vacation to Greece for ten days and I ate like a cow there, from dusk till dawn and I lost two kilograms. Something's doesn't add up that's for sure.
@@jelena7440 maybe its all in our mind!!!!!

Dr Jason Fung is an incredible individual. His fasting technique has profoundly transformed my life, and the results-have been extremely rewarding.
It works!!!!! 52yr old, lost 80lbs in 7.5 months!!!
What time do u eat and what did u eat when u broke the fast ?
Congratulations!!!
WOW
I find his lectures remarkable. I am in medical field. When I mention fasting most of my coworkers tell me I am starving myself. I do intermittent fasting with an occasional longer fasts.
Same. Work in a hospital. I told my coworkers I couldn't join their ice cream party because I was fasting. They thought i was crazy. I find people that work at hospitals have the worst diets considering they work in medical field.
People follow their own believes, I.e. CAN'T explore, contemplate anything out of their own truth, regardless of their education, religion, culture, tradition etc. My point, girl you get it! Heng in there and enjoy YOUR way to be healthy! Thumbs up 👍🥰😇
@Belinda Wallace Do you see any changes in your health while doing only intermittent fasting?
Since combining intermittent fasting and a one day fasting day what improvements have you seen in your health?
"They don't do reunions"... SUCH A GREAT POINT!!!
The one thing I've learned about fasting is ...the more you eat, the more you eat. One meal a day is best for me. You make it to dinnr and you r full. Couple hours later u r asleep. Its over. Fill up on decaf hot tea during the day and before you know it's time to leave work
Your on the right track forward now! Every now and then if I start feeling particularly hungry I will eat two times per day. But that doesn't happen very often. It always best to stay attuned to what our bodies are telling us. Most times it's very easy to keep eating down to OMAD. Here's hoping you're still making great progress!😊
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 thanks! Same to you. :)
I do the same thing!!!!😄
Exactly what I’ve been doing!! I love that for the first time ever I have control over food, it gets easier can last sometimes to 8 pm one meal a day! My inflammation went away my knees feel sooo much better can walk up stairs with both legs now , no handrail. Before used one leg, upstairs. Brains feel clear!! Mood uplifted!! God bless
I am a RN who work on a cardiology unit. A large percentage of my patients are Type II diabetics. I understand all of this and I get so pissed off at work... OMG!! And it’s unbelievable how we are so brainwashed to be fixated on our patients’ glucose levels all day long. I have NEVER seen an endocrinologist order a serum insulin level. Ever!! And it amazes me! Thank you so much Dr. Fung for properly educating us on our health! You’re awesome!!

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 you are so welcome! Thank you so much. Since I posted that comment, I’ve moved on from the cardiology unit after nearly 20 years. I couldn’t do it anymore. I am now doing case management where I can educate my patients more effectively. Thank you so much!
It's crazy how hospitals won't let patients have beef, fat, or salt in the cardiac units. But they can have all of the refined carbs they want. You really have to become self educated, it's life or death.

Hi, what is the update on fasting you started in January this year?
@@niaola4019 Hopfully Nancy Issa did well, I tried to start IF but have failed 🙄
@@lindag5076 I’ve been IF since May 1 of this year. I’m down 14 pounds. Well, actually, the first month I didn’t fast, I only cut carbs. I moved into IF in late June, I’m losing 1-2 pounds a week. Two weeks ago I added walking. I’m up to 1-1/2 miles per day. I have really bad knees and will be getting both knees replaced, but I wanted to get healthy and lose weight prior to surgery. I’m eating 2 meals a day for 3 days, then 1 meal a day for 4 days. I did 1 long fast for 55 hours and just started another long fast today. I’m eating eggs, very large salads of fresh greens, vinaigrette dressing, salmon, tuna, chicken, avocado, kale, nuts. Basically, I cut all processed carbs and all fruit. I also use real butter and extra virgin olive oil for my fats. I take Vit D3/K2, Vit B complex, zinc, and potassium supplements.
@@lindag5076 when I first started IF I went from dinner to a late breakfast. Sleeping is 7-8 hours of fast, so I just stretched my breakfast as long as I could. Then once I eat a meal (when I’m doing 2 meals a day) I eat my 2nd meal 4 hours later. Making sure I get good fats in to help me stretch my fast to the next day. Hope this is helpful. It’s just what I am doing.
It definitely works, I lost 134 lbs with Keto and IF

AlvinaRayne Well done babe!!
oscar sanchez I would love to have heard that conversation!
I remember I watched this video in 2016 when I had started leaning about Fasting, and 5 years later studying this science, and I watch this video, I'd say this video is the BEST source of information you can learn about fasting. Although Dr, Fung speaks in a casual manager, but there is a lot of information in it, especially when he talks about lowering insulin.
Lowering insulin is a huge topic related to fasting and Autophagy.After 5 years of learning and practicing fasting, I say Dr. Fung has one of the best understanding in the science of fasting
I'm right there with you, Ben. My first "fast" was the Master Cleanse about 12 years ago. Then I attempted a water fast about 5 years ago for 23 days and felt the best I've ever felt. Now, I'm looking for sustainability, and Dr. Fung makes it easy to grasp and implement long term.
@ieshiaaa where to learn aboutthe master fast??
23 days is a long gig time.. id be afraidnid die..!? Teying to get back ninth fasting after time away from it
I just love this guy. He is so smart and he is funny. He is easy to listen too and he makes so much sense.
thats because he is a man , if he were female ,he wouldnt make any sense at all ! also he would just sound like he is nagging you !
Lynette Gayle-Turpin agreed.
I know he’s so cute and chubby
I got rid of my diabetes and cholesterol within two months of fasting and no carb diet.When I went to see my dr.he was shocked . so was I .Your book is also amazing of course . Very easy to understand with a lot of scientific back up. I have told about your fasting method to many family member and friend who at first were very skeptical but seeing me how healthy and thin I have become, they all following it now! every one is greeting great results.
Thank you so much no wonder you are my hero!

Fantastic example

Fasting has been a revelation. Jason described my history of reduced calorie diet failure perfectly. I now fast for 2, 3 or 4 days. The big difference is that I don't feel hungry, tired and cold all the time. In fact I go cycling a lot, it's fine especially as I know I'm burning pure fat as I cycle. Thanks Jason. Weight-watchers is a money-making scheme where repeat business is key.
Makes perfect common sense which I so appreciate. Thanks Dr. Fung!
I was just watching one of his vids though where he said it was important to rest and not exercise during fasting?

What was your eating like within your eating window
I did this 3 yrs ago and I was SO excited about how I felt I couldn't sleep... Everytime I stepped on the scale I lost more and more weight. My energy was phenomenal... never felt like that...EVER...It took me 3 yrs of eating the SAD diet after I broke my femur that I gained it back... I'm trying to do it again....but it's a MINDSET...good luck everyone
I did this back in 2019 and lost 40 lbs. Then COVID hit and ruined everything. This Spring I said no more excuses and have been OMAD for 4 months this Thursday. Have to keep up the mindset it's forever-I'm too old to be yo-yo dieting anymore.
Exactly!It 's a mindset!And:fasting is NOT starving!
StArted OMAD yesterday right after I saw your page .I feel better right away, now it's my second day. Thanks Dr. Fung.
I did the fasting without knowing that I was doing it. The reason was I was under stress and all I did was slept, went to work and I had no appetite. I ate only once a day. in 2 months I lost 30lb. But once I was stress free I still kept the weight off because I didn't like to eat as much. I had no health problem and I was able to exercise and much more. before I couldn't walk a mile. I would have rather done it Dr Jason way.
Yes Dr. JASON FUNG and DR. Pradip Jamnadas are simply the BEST!!!
This is the ONLY weight loss talk we’re ever going to need. It has it all! Thank you so much Dr Fung🙏👍🏻
Every dieter says this about every diet.
Dr Jason Fung’s book on the complete guide to fasting, changed my life and that of many patients. As a doctor who also struggled with weight and metabolic syndrome, I would usually tell my patients that you can’t cure hypertension or diabetes easily or even at all; but after reading his book, I realized a lot of the teachings were based on convenience, commerce and a culture that sustains pharmaceutical companies, not the actual science. I reversed high blood pressure and worsening obesity without any drugs and achieved a high HDL (good) cholesterol for the first time in a decade. Thanks to “medical fasting”, taking long daily walks and not counting calories
That book is incredible.
You've changed our lives Jason. Can't even make you understand how our health has changed in an already active life we live. Such an amazing lad you are. Thank you so so much for the gift of sharing your observations.
edu Me Fung, the Alexander Fleming of our era
I fast for 16 hours/8hours feeding window. I do 20/4 when i am having a meal in a restaurant. I absolutely love it. I am a volume eater so having all my meals in a couple hours is great.
kellie anglin I'm a feast or famine type eater so I feel you there! congrats on unlocking the power of fasting.
Did you do keto as well?
@@galemartin3277 Lowering carbs is essential to weight loss. Especially *permanent* weight loss.
I don't do full on Keto, I never have. But I have lost weight (about 40 pounds) and kept it off for several years now by eating healthy, IF, and lowering carbs to about 100gms per day! I have maybe 10 pounds left to lose!😊
I am 66. My innerself has been telling me to stop eating so much for about 2yrs! I am diabetic...have a pacemaker...high blood pressure...psoriasis...and along comes doctor Fung and I have finally gained the confidence that fasting will cure my problems. Was taking 80 units of Lantis insulin a day and 30 of lispro a day. I am now to the point that I haven't taken any insulin in almost 2 days and the same with my BP and heart medicine. As long as I walk short periods several times a day and only eat one small meal a day I am seeing promising results
My inner self brought me here too. Things are always working out for us. Best of all things for you. ❤
Well done you x
So it's been 2 Years now... Would you be so kind as to share an update -; good or bad. I'm just starting my second week off intermittent fasting and am reading his books
This is easily one of the best videos explaining intermittent fasting!
Last year I tried lower calories and low carbs and more exercise, it wasn’t until I did intermittent fasting did my weight started coming off faster. I lost 25 pounds. Beginners mistake is eating too much during your 8 hours of non fasting. 6 months later during holiday I stopped fasting and gained 10 pounds back. Now I am back to training my brain to get back to healthy eating and IF. It 100% works and you can keep the weight off. I used Dr Fung videos for mental coaching.
I've been on the OMAD diet for two weeks and have lost almost 10 pounds. I worked my way through the other fasting levels until I was ready for this one. I fast from 7 pm to 6 pm with a one hour eating window and I find this actually pretty easy with a Higher energy level. I'm down a total 0f 35 pounds in less than 5 months. I'm making this a life style and love it, along with working out, Its amazing
Wow, that’s great!
@@leisure057blank3 I'm now down a total of 75 lbs . Thanks
Can you talk about the levels of fasting? How do I start?
Do you work out before or after having your one meal
I’m down 22 pounds in 6 weeks doing OMAD and light exercise and I feel amazing. I have so much more energy even when I haven’t eaten in 20 hours.
I’ve been fasting for a few months. 18:6 high protein low carbs. Fasting made me appreciate my meals I do eat. Before I had zero control and shoved anything into my mouth. This is the way to live life
That’s right same with me!!
I started IF back in 2012 and do it daily between 16-20 hours. This technique has probably had one of the most profound effect on my health. Combine it was exercise and it is extremely potent. Lost around 20kg, feeling great and have never looked back.
TheNovelty8theory nice to hear . I did IF for 4 months and lost 10 kg and was hitting the weights on a fasted state and felt great , heaps energy . I ate between 4 pm to 10 pm but recently I started getting stomach aches and as it's turned out mr doctor says I have an ulcer so I'm disappointed that he told me to eat more regularly to absorb the stomach acids and now I've gone off my IF and I feel terrible so why do u think this happened , I'm wondering if there is a correlation between fasting and ulcers . Also I'm trying to find out if I can keep fasting even with an ulcer . Any suggestions would b appreciated thx
intermittentmaniac strange that, would have thought fasting was a way to reduce stomach acid and actually allow the ulcer to heal more effectively, like a rest period for the digestive system. What was your diet like while doing IF? Could this have been a cause?
Might be your diet that's causing the stomach ulcers. What kinds of food do you eat?
@@intermittentmaniac3943 Look into Master Cleanse. I think it originally was for a person with ulcers.
May be related to the late hours you were eating? Did you eat up till 10 pm then go to sleep? That will give you acid reflux. It might promote acid production.
I listen as I get ready for work to keep motivation for the day. So helpful. Doing every other day fasts.
+Jason Fung Good to see you're uploading your videos on youtube again Jason. Thank you :)
I lost 8 kgs, I have tried every diet known to man kind in the past. My intention was to reduce LDL cholesterol and reduce insulin resistance. I refused Statins for thirty years. I fast and feel great 5 days out of 7. have one meal a day and I am a vegan . So thankful to you Dr Fung
LDL is bunk. But a1c is a very important marker.
Dear Dr. Fung. I've studied your work for about a year and a half before I self-experimented on water fasting. I started with a few short; 3, 5, and 7 day water fast, before going for my ultimate goal, of a 40 day water fast. I thought it would be interesting, to check my blood glucose, twice per day and my blood keytones once per day. I was shocked by my results. My blood glucose never went higher than 96 and no lower than 64 on my blood glucose meter. My blood ketone went as high as 7.4 and simply went back and forth, not going lower than 4.0. Sadly, I only was able to make it to the 36th day of my water fast, due to the most extreme nausea I've ever had in my 51 years of my life, due to contracting COVID-19 from a family member. I broke my water fast with some chicken bone broth. I ended up being hospitalized from COVID-19
Not once was I hungry after the 7th day without food. I lost 48 pounds in the 36 day water fast, and I know, with 100% certainty, I would have gone the remaining 4 days, to fulfill my water fast goal of 40 days, had I not gotten extremely ill. I know water fasting works! Thank you Dr. Fung!
did you take vitamins or anything like that. i only made it 11 days i was on the verge of gaining at work and i was out of breathe everytime i moved.
Motivating me to continue up to 80 hours. The best I’ve ever heard…. Looking at it several times. Thank You!
Nobody has mentioned my problem which is when im hungry i find it hard to sleep at night, do others have this problem and how do they manage it?
Im amazed by how few followers you have. Proper informative and easily digestable video, this one is gonna be my goto source/link when trying to explain to friends/family why i do fasting (lost 26lb so far). Thank you. Cant wait to get started on "the obesity code" book i ordered of amazon! Keep up the good work :)
Your methods make good sense and your humor and approach is so down to earth. Thank you Dr Fung.
Been doing IF since Sept. 2020 and have lost 19 Kilos since... want to lose another 7. Thank for this Dr. Fung.
Hi Anne, what type of fasting did you do?
@@Blaublahblue She said she's been doing IF (Intermittent Fasting).
@@leniobarcelos1770 I meant what schedule of IF
God bless Dr. Fung. I have had Type 2 diabetes for about 10 years. Was up to 3 different oral meds and my blood sugar kept going up over time. I've been fasting and eliminating sugar/carbs for a little over a month and i've lost weight and my blood sugar has gone way down. I have stopped taking glipizide and Januvia and am now only on Metformin. My morning blood sugar is consistently under 100. Simply amazing My sugars are better than anytime in the last 10 years.
Keep consistently doing intermittent fasting and keeping your carbs low and very soon you can say 'bye-bye' to metformin as well!! Drugs should only be used as a last ditch effort, when Nothing else will work. Or for a very short period, until your own health-building nutritional lifestyle has a chance to heal your body on its own!😉
Starting my first 24 hr fast tomorrow. Been doing 16:8. Wish me strength. 😎
I've been living a lie all my life 😭 I even gave up on diets and gain crazy weight.
After trying IF cut sugar and carbs
I lost 16kg in 2 months... Now I sleep all night, I have more energy, I don't crave sugar (I was a sugar and chips addict all my life), when I eat I don't feel hungry anymore...
God Bless you Dr. Fung 🙏🏽
Sir You are my saviour 🙏🏽💜
Deep gratitude to this person, he’s changing my life for better!
Say right as much as you want Dr you’re saving lives
With 18/6 ours intermittent fasting and low carb diet for 6 weeks now, I don't use insuline anymore, instead of 240u a day. I lost 8 kg and feel super. Dr. Fung, thanks to you for explaning how to overcome my Diabetes type 2. It makes sooo much sense.
I have full confidence it will keep working. I eat more fats now, and it works super! Dr. Fung is my hero!
While fasting to lose that weight, add Prayers to it and strengthen your spiritual walk with God.
I always get that confused. People are promoting fasting as a diet and I forget to pray and to treat it like it is because it came from the Bible instead of treating it like what the world thinks that it is.
Wonderful suggestion Omotola!! I have added prayer & it has added massive meaning, & also yielded success losing weight.
I'm gonna have to pass. I do just fine w/o all the God stuff but if it works for you then more power to you❤
Absolutely
Amen to that 🙏
I am so grateful that I found your videos Dr Fung! Now I have listen to your 36 minutes of superinteresting and clear knowledge about fasting.
I am so glad. I will listen again tomorrow. I am swedish I need to hear twice to understand everything. My lucky feeling is getting bigger and my worries about diets , and if fasting is ”dangerous” in some way, s getting smaller when I really start to understand how good and easy and normal it is for the body to fast. I am learning thanks to you!
Thank you ever so much Dr Fung!
Very Good Dr. Fung. I am in chapter 3 of "The Obesity Code", so far very insightful. I wish I had this knowledge 20 years ago. My mother may still be alive, and I would maybe have a more productive life, physically. I have been doing intermittent fasting now for 2 weeks. Everyone thinks I am nuts, but I feel better, I'm losing weight, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And that light is, reaching my weight goal, being healthy, and never taking Type 2 Diabetic meds ever again. Thanks!!!!
i also wish i had known about this few years back😔😞 i lost my father to high insulin dose n medication
Yes me too,I don’t want to take pills or stick myself with a needle or loose my legs
@oneofseven777, I feel exactly the same! My main goal is to reverse my t2D; a) to not take meds for the rest of my life (however long that would have been had I continued down the Metformin/Insulin path)? Incidentally, I was terrible abt taking, which turns out may have been good a thing. And b) associated costs, etc. Added bonus, the wt loss. My Dr actually prescribed me to do the Keto Diet the day I was diagnosed. My have also saved me strictly by accident?! Anyway, I have the same feelings as you. And when I mention this anyone, all very skeptical...and I'm a medical professional! Thank God for Dr. Fung!
Oh my goodness. Me too.
Thank you Dr. Fung. You are a Maverick in our society.
This information should be used to keep most of our hospitals almost empty. May God speed this timely information to the masses. The revealing knowledge our ancestors knew for centuries. God Bless.
Thanks Dr. Fung! I watched one of your podcasts about five years ago. I was diabetic. Fasting enabled me to lose weight and reverse my diabetes.
"Reduce calories and increase exercise" will always fail!
Giving the body time to fast will not only make you lose weight but also it will restore your health!
Thank you.
The most valuable lecture I have ever heard. ❤
Bodybuilders are the leanest specimens on the planet and they get that way by reducing calories and increasing exercise, even the natural ones follow this protocol. Fung is wrong on this one big time, both methods are efficient tho fasting definitely yields far more health benefit.
@@AzBboy we are not all bodybuilders
Its so amazing 👏 the hunger goes away by the third day, completely gone and energy goes up.
Great strategy to break the Plato stage
Thank you Doc Fung, you're a great human being ❤️
I eat once a day in the morning. Fast for the remaining 22 hours. Ate chicken, and vegetables drank water only when thirsty . Been 3 weeks, lost about 20 lbs. I feel great ,but have more to go to pre pregnancy weight about 10lbs left pray for me. 3 kids later my body is still struggling but , working 💪
Jason is such a good teacher, easy to understand explanation , humour, and repetition and good visual aids so we can be de-programmed from our false concepts of weight loss and have that aha moment of realisation of the real truth .
~Thank you so much...I have decided to push food aside except for one meal a day....nurse a cup of coffee through out the day & drink plenty of water. Not even a week....& I feel much better. Have about 40-50 lbs to get rid of & thankful for you because I could not stop binging everyday. Love your podcast & examples.🙂💞
Where has this information been all my life?! Thank you so much for sharing.
I am overweight... Started fasting and cut 99% of carbs out. I have lost almost 20 in a month. Feel SO much better. I can I do it you can!
I started eating in deficit and lost 25lbs. Now I have been doing IF for a month but lost only 2 pounds. Its so discouraging.
Dear Brittany, I hope you are still doing well with IF and Keto. Years ago, I started Keto to help with my epilepsy. I lost a lot of weight and still weigh what I weighed in college. I had gotten up to 203 pounds and now weigh 110 pounds. God bless you and all that listen to wise teachers like Jason Fung.
@@carlaharker9081 thank you SO much Carla for your kind words!! I am still on track going on 8 months down 80ish pounds from 198 to 126! Your story is inspiring! Congrats on the amazing will power!!
@brittanyolson5235 can you tell me exactly what you did? I'm 6 weeks in and only 4 pounds
@@akidandherwackyadventures3439
No carbs at all....no sugar ever. Never cheated not once. Nothing processed!! Only whole food. I was 98% meat maybe an occasional strawberry. I only ate 1 or 2 times a day with a minimum of 1
, 18 hour fast. I am 2 years in, was 203 now 120 haven't gained anything back. The 1st 1 or 2 months are the hardest then it gets easier!!! Not only lost the weight be I feel better then I have ever in my life nothing tastes as good as I feel today.
You save my life Dr Jason Fung! You care truly for your patients.
White Okay th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6K7NWahp9y3ir1gVAwysOCHOOPSnWZbw . I got it from my browser's history. I know that it's really frustrating to be over-weighted but all is possible with a strong determination. Good luck…..
Don’t eat and walk a mile or two several times a day. Consume green tea (cold brew)
It could be the most important video on TH-cam.
I fasted all Monday and even did a 30 mile cycle ride. Today I'll eat normally. Thursday I'll fast again.
It's taken a week but my body is now happy to burn fat without feeling any hunger-craving.
You just need to get over that first week or two, when your body is screaming for carbs. It will stop, trust me (& Jason).
If I just reduce calories slightly then my body never stops screaming for carbs.
What day is it now?
You’re doing alternate day fasting?
Thank you. So simple, but we have been brainwashed for years. The penny has dropped, the Eagle has landed, so grateful x
Every one that wants to live longer and better quality of life should watch all of Jason's Video's. Priceless free information.
He is just amazing! I love him and his sense of humor!!!
It's not many times I'm impressed however watching this really caused me to say wow I need to ask - do you know about the recent discovery
people all over this planet are seeing improvement I learned about this from reading website take a look now search google for ralfs remedy method
he is a good communicator.
so fucking true .. !!!
Exactly. I am in debt with him. Lost 70 pounds with IF and feeling healthy and fantastic!
For 10 days I’ve cut obvious sugars (cookies, ice cream, etc.), and fasted from 8pm-12:30pm. I’ve lost 2 lbs. Now I’m
going to start also focusing on
cutting carbs. One thing I’ve already noticed is that I definitely have more energy!
I am water fasting every other day and keto when I eat. It’s working awesomely for me
My personal experience is freedimnfrom FEAR OF HUNGER. Then one learns to respect hunger as biological need and emotional need. One learns to respect the body and show it by not burdening it by dumping excess food exploiting organs to do over work. This begins lifestyle modification based on cognitive change through knowledge based eating. Dr. Is a catalyst for many. Thank you
Love your ides. Makes so much sense. I can t loose weight the so called normal way. I tried IF for one week with a 16/8 fasting window. I lost 2.4 lbs. I think IF is the answer . It really works. Thanks.
keep at it. if you utilise lower carb diets + hiit workouts your body will become a fat burning machine
I absolutely love the way you break down the fasting process.
I am so glad I finally found you on YT. You literally change my life. Thank you!
Thank you!!! I’ve been fasting for two weeks now, no artificial sugars, just water, no fast food and no eating from sunrise to sunset and other things. I actually am converting to vegetarian and maybe one day full on vegan and I stumble onto this video. This really helps me put things into perspective. I’m fasting for spiritual reasons but during this fast I realized my eating habits need to change. Thank you for this information. You’ve gained another new follower.
Don't go vegetarian, please. God gave us K9 teeth for a reason. You will be starving yourself of vitamins and minerals.Dont fall into the trends of veganism. It's not healthy.
What a great video. I saw the length, I saw that it was just some guy talking, and I thought it'd be boring, but then I was engrossed throughout the whole thing. You're amazing at giving speeches, and you definitely succeeded in convincing me to fast. I really appreciate your work here, thank you for making this!
I started intermittent fasting and lost 30 lb but I had to stop for a medical procedure and gained it all back! Now I'm starting over on a 12-hour fasting cycle so I can take my medication with food. It was really easy to lose the first time and I didn't get hungry so I have high expectations that I will be successful again. Thank you Doctor Fung!
It's a show about nothing!
❤️ George Constanza is so smart but, you, Dr Jason are the man! Thank you. Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
"The problem with the calorie theory is just like... it's wrong." Perfect summary and introduction.
Thankyou for exposing the insidious trap of diet calorie restrictions with lots of exercise. It never works in the long time and makes the situation so much worse. It looks like we're the problem, failure, but it's not us. This false information is causing so much sorrow and failure and blame. People just think we just aren't following the advice given but many of us do and try so hard for so long and then blamed, shamed, looked down upon and self esteem plummets.
I enjoy Dr Fung lectures. They motivate the hell out of me. Thanks
Same
as humans,we are very stupid...we clean ours home and after this,in homes we stay better because these are cleaner but...we dont clean that home...wich is our body!!! crazy!! I follow every day,intermittent fasting for about 18/20 hours and every two weeks I do a fast with only water for 3 days and..my life changed in better,my body also changed,my insulin response and all my health and mind changed! if I tried to do in other way as in my past,all goes bad,so fast,intermittent fasting,are the best way to go for my life.Thanks for all your help and details Dr Jung,you are right in all ;-)
I am following intermittent fasting method suggested by Dr Jason Fung and really feeling good. Just 3 weeks back I started intermittent fasting and by now lost about 2.5 kg. My target is lonnnnggg away as more 25 kg's to loose really tough time for me. Thanks Dr Jason for telling this method to the world as this method don't costs anything
I'm so happy w my doctor he said what are you doing!? I told him intermittent fasting, calories, low carb and working out.... He was such a nice supporting doctor he told me Just Do It!!!!! Lol 😆..... I feel like he is a great doctor and now he watches Dr.Jason haha
Same here. My doctor supports my intermittent fasting with the keto diet.
It works, I needed to lose 15 pounds, so far I’ve lost 8 with 16/8 fasting and high protein/fat and low carbs. Thanks 🙏 it’s so easy compared to low calorie diets. Now I’m trying full day fasting.
it literally gets easier. your ghrelin hormone goes way up. 18 hours was daunting to me, just last week i did 40 hours of a fast and only broke the fast because i needed something to drink before going to the pub hahaha. i wasn't even hungry.
Dr Fung Best Advice ever. I have had great success losing weight 80 lbs so far and A1C 10.5 to a 6.1 and getting better.
i was recommended to watch your videos today and i felt this. i was constantly feeling depressed at my weight loss journey; gaining weight despite eating lesser than before and working out minimally twice, thrice per week. giving this another try! thank you.
been 2 month and have been doing omad with a ketogenic diet.. first week my feet was no longer swollen and l could wear my shoes. l started at 261 and after 2 months 243. l am feeling better and have not had any gout since l started. Also no eating and sleeping during the day, fasting keeps me awake. l did start omad because of health reasons and happy to see results in a short time.
