I give many thanks to Dr. Jason Fung. After reading your book I felt I finally cracked the code for why I felt my full button was broken. That book is saving me in my retired years now. I implemented fasting in my lifestyle along with a ketogenic food management program starting Feb 2022 and now I am 100 lbs down in weight.
Dr. Fung saved my life. No exaggeration. Years of trying a variety of different diets, some under the guidance of doctors(!), my weight went up yearly. I ended up approx. 70 lbs overweight. (Think 225 lbs when a healthy weight is 115 or 125 for my height.) I came across Dr. Fung after trying Noom and seeing the same thing I'd encountered in previous diets. *Intentional Feasting* (what I call Intermittent Fasting) is my new *lifestyle*. Started IF in June of last year and I'm 35 lbs lighter. For the first time in over 3 decades I ended the year at less weight than I started. No more dieting. Just the ease of not snacking between meals. Changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Fung.
You lost weight because you were eating less and burning more so you could eat a good amount on fasting but you lost weight actually through diet and exercise
This man is a godsend for EVERYONE! This is fruitful information and does not cost a dime! I have lost over 10 pounds since Jan 1, 2023, because of rhis mans wisdom and utube videos all over the internet! Thank you, Dr. Jason, you are getting so many people back to the basics of life, and a healthier lifestyle for life! You are a GEM!!! JEAN BREEN

I tried all the freaking diets since the 80's, my friends and family said I had no will power, a few month ago I figured with videos from Dr Sten Ekberg and Dr Jason Fung plus Thierry Casasnovas (French), I am insulin resistant, it's 15 days today I am on a full fast semi dry, dropped 40 pounds, soon will be able to exercise, and accelerate the fat burning, I have all the will power in the world, I now have a good understanding of what I have to do, fasting is not for sissies, it'hard, but I like life good health and my body then the feeling of a full belly!
Fung and Ekberg are my go to sources for learning. I had all but given up when I stumbled across them looking for a way to relieve inflammation. I'm 1.5 months into this journey and have lost 22 pounds and already feel like a new person. Hang in there. I will never turn back. I'm so excited about my future health and yours too. We've got this . BTW... I'm having a blast preparing healthy whole foods.
I get this focus on the food with how the world is today. I have healed myself from Lupus nephritis. I thought the healthy food was the most important, but I realised my mind was. I was strict keto when really sick. The game changer for me was Dr Joe Dispenza. My self hatred and self destruction made me more sick, even though I was living physically healthy. Today, 4 yrs from following Joe. I am lupus free, medication free. I am living my dream with its ups and downs. Learning every day. Pain free and illness free. You create your reality of everything. I wish everyone a happy solstice (21.12). May you have the best life.
I did my first 72h fast earlier in January! It was amazing! Hard at some points, I needed way more electrolytes than expected. But it was doable and I am looking forward to the next one. It has taken time to get to this point
Thank you Lewis for doing this interview. I highly respect Dr Fung and I have followed him for years. I have low functioning kidneys and am trying to get their function increased again through diet and fasting. I was successful when I followed his regime but fell off the Keto fasting wagon. lol. Getting back on it now. Perfect timing for me seeing this interview. Your interviews with a large range of people has never disappointed me. Thanks again. :)
@@ashirabatyah6169 , I did use Golden Rod a few times but not sure if it truly agreed with me. Golden Rod also known as Solidago Virgaurea is supposed to help with many issues as well as being a duiretic. x Thank you for your kind response. Have you got lower functioning kidneys as well ?
I can identify with the office environment. We had a boss who had an eating disorder. In that she did not eat but baked highly appetizing sugary baked goods all the time When she did not have time she brought in boxes of pastries and boxes of chocolates. If most people have these foods within arms reach they will succumb no matter how strong they think they are. I lifted the food and moved it as far from my desk. It turned out she demonized me as a kill joy . She was only a nurturer according to her. She was very underweight never ate anything but a cracker. It used to make me so angry when I was trying to lose weight. So many people equate love with feeding and overfeeding therefore become feeders. I avoid these people like the plague. You would not leave bottles of booze on every desk nor would you leave boxes of cigarettes or cigars. I have seen so many people lose weight and look great since working from home. Which has helped them gain control.
Doc Fung is inspiring, informative and clear,,he should receive the noble prize fpr explaining and making things simple to understand for people not in the medical world..he is also very funny !!
Jason Fung! Thank you for all you do! I discovered you in 20' January and lost 95 lbs. and feel like I can continue this great habit the rest of my like! Side note I had a Heart Attack in 2017 at the age of 47 and 276 pounds and knew i needed to do something major!

Thank you Lewis for this talk with Dr.Jadon Fung.I started following him as I'm on my journey for better health and weight loss. I am changing the way I was brought up especially around food. 👏💐💕
This is one truthful doctor that deserved to be given a nobel price since 2014 for his development of a sustainable cure for type III diabetes through Intermittent fasting, Exercises and low carbohydrate diet and showing us the Root causes of type III diabetes. I was 105 kg in 2014, but using his advice by 2019, I was 75 kg and free of diabetes with a normal BMI.
Jason is one of my all-time favourite health experts- it's always interesting to hear what he has to say. And Lewis-- Man, you have the innate ability to ask the questions we didn't even know we wanted the answers to. So insightful, So intriguing the answers incited from your questions. Out of all the people I've ever seen giving interviews, including Oprah, Barbara Walters, Ted Koppel, etc.. Lisa Bilyeu and you are simply the best. I just see a level of engagement I don't see --to the degree-- from the others as you bring. Thanks!! : D
I like the hosts background. I love all of Dr. Jason Fungs videos the ones in his office or the ones he has with a planned media clip. All of his information is saving my life.
After WWll we in hungry Netherlands received swedish whitebread to fill the empty stomaches. So people got sick: they needed nutrients which were not in that bread.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung, 2 years ago I was in a deep flare of mast cells activated syndrome, recently moved to the US and hadn’t found a specialist yet. Therefore by myself for surviving. Gained 60 pounds in 6 months. Angio oedema was severe, my O2 saturation was very often around 80. Watching his videos made me understand the benefits of lowering my insuline and my inflammation. Not only did I lose these 60 pounds, but also lowered all my symptoms of food and synthetic fragrances sensitivity triggering my anaphylactic shocks. I am wondering why we don’t find more papers on mast cells activated syndromes and ME improving on low carb diet. As a certified osteopath I am trying to motivate persons in groups (FB), difficult without the support of experts and physicians. Thank youuuu for your huge expertise and motivation!
So true! I accidentally found out after my cat passed away last year, I lost my appetite completely. I wasn't able to eat for several days and got lightheaded. I had to go to work. The only food that was halfway appealing was bland food. Steel-cut oatmeal with berries and a little peanut butter was on hand. It took me a long time to eat a bowl...so filling. I drank a ton of water too. I ate nothing else except oatmeal and raspberries with a tbsp peanut butter. It energized me. Had it 2-3 meals a day and water or black coffee or black tea. On the 4th morning after starting oatmeal, I woke up and felt happy for no reason, euphoric in fact. I told a friend who said you're in a fasted state due to eating nothing for days followed by about 500-600 calories a day for another few days. That sounded about right...hadn't been sleeping, was stressed and fatigued. My cat's death was still there but I was feeling better. I spent the next 5-6 weeks eating oatmeal because I felt mentally clear and high spiritually, not hungry, weak or tired. Lost 16 pounds. Finally I said I should eat...so I added mixed salad greens and raspberries and 2 tsp apple cider vinegar+1cup cold water with a few walnuts. I did this for a couple days, then added steamed veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, then salmon, ground turkey gradually.
Thank you so much for this interesting interview. I am so glad I was in a time when we didn’t have access to process foods. We were poor and we ate out of what we grown in our garden. We ate meat once a week and it was liver with lots of vegetables. So now in my 40s I still continue to eat like this and my children as well. They do snack do, but they eat mindfully and try to be consistent. But with so much food it is hard for our children to stay healthy. I do hope we find a solution for this world wide problem.
Great interview, Lewis! There are always these nuggets that you can find in interviews even if you are hearing the information again. I didn’t realize that you would have less insulin levels raised in the morning, then at night. Fascinating.
I am day 110 lost weight struggle to walk think I was sick from being overweight and over medicated on blood pressure pills. Riding inside bike starting my short walks thanks love both your chats has helped me soo much changing habits eating green clean lots of low carb. Using my fitness pal app is the best too thank you love fasting doing 16/8 sometimes 18 other day 12/14 mostly 16
Great content gentlemen, I'm unable to give 2 hours of my undivided attention to your video, so I might have missed it, but I didn't hear about the importance of sleep. Intermittent fasting has been working for me for a few years. I sleep better if my eating time ends closer to bed time. Each person should do what works best for "you". Keep trying until you figure it out.
Thank you for all the advice. From 110 kg to 81kg and my hba1c from 9.9 to 6.6. I dont have cramps at night anymore. I can walk fast. I feel so light. I do 18/6 and OMAD. I still cannot do 36.
That book is about origins of cancer. What u need is very low carb ans eliminating sugar. I am a cancer survivor, the book is interesting but it won't tell you how to fix yourself if u have cancer.
You might also check out the interview with Dr. Goldhammer. There is a specific clinic here in California that deals with fasting and helping those with cancer. I will definitely say a prayer for you and your husband.
I have just started the cancer code it is gripping. Jason Fung has a way of explaining the whole dynamics of cancer in a way that makes it accessible to anyone who has no medical background. I wish more medical people were like him instead of the mysterious white coat wonders who dont feel there patients warrant explanation or clear precise information.
So much commonsense yes we did eat less in the 60’s and 70’s and we didn’t eat sugar laden foods, sure we had cordial, cake and biscuits but they were a treat and chocolate was Easter or Christmas. We have become a consumer society and it’s affecting our health in so many ways. Thank You thoroughly enjoyed this.🍉🥑🍳
I don't have much weight to lose but fast daily, eating one meal a day. I have a very physical job but still have bags of energy (I carry it everywhere i go 😉) and my body doesn't have to cope with digestion while I'm working. I am also freed from the chore of making lunch to take to work. It's a win-win-win!
Dr Fung's discussion is absolute pure knowledge explained simply and crystal clear. Just one little inaccuracy regarding the fact that when you skip a meal or two or begin a prolonged fast, your body does not tap directly into your stored fat.... it draws energy from your glycogen storage for several days. Infact... when I begin a prolonged fast, it takes me time, even more than a week to fully pull out energy from my body fat and during those days, I have very low energy and quite some hunger. It takes time for me to really start producing ketones. It's NOT after 3-4 days for everyone. Thank you for the great interview. Greetings from Italy and Happy New Year 🥂🍾
Avoid carbs for as long as possible BEFORE your fast. During a fast, you need electrolytes. The body does require these during this time. Try to make sure you take magnesium and potassium every day, and take about 1/2- 1 full teaspoon of sea salt everyday, as well. You can divide this up throughout the day, and just dissolve it in your water. Good luck on your fasts!
Thanks a lot Lewis for a great interview Dr Fung I love you my energy is back since 2018 you are an amazing researcher 💜🧡❤️💙Scientist without complicating science Yes IF & OMAD is the answer
I am a lazy person, and quick feeling cold, but the moment I come up from the chair I feel less cold, and while doing something you do not think about the cold nor about food. So, I give myself a stump on the butt (not really) and say: I should not be so lazy, and promise something nice, like an apple, a puzzle, a serie-episode (after 4hours of biking). Do be friendly to yourself. Smile, and be proud and thankfull for any succes.
Today is day 99 of my fitness journey and I have lost a total of 22 pounds. I was originally 228 pounds and I am now 206. I hit the gym no less than five days a week and I continue to eat healthy every day, no cheat days! After while, it became easy (as if I was on auto pilot) and I did not think twice about going to the gym or what to eat. Just try not to complicate the process. Once you start seeing results and you prove to yourself that you are disciplined, it’s all about consistency from there on in. I posted a few videos on my channel about my journey, and I post daily on my Instagram, and I hope to inspire others! Omar
@@melissaholder4231 keep working hard and don’t look back! The first couple of weeks might be tough but once you fight through them and start seeing results, you will feel absolutely amazing.
I was 20 in the mid 70's, and all my friends and family and I were like stick insects. We spent our whole lives out side, ate 3 home cooked meals a day, (nothing processed) & walked everywhere & drank water. We were heavier however than our stick thin parents and grand-parents. Things have certainly changed since then. Enormously so.
I like what Dr.Fung was pointing to: circumstances causes change in habit. A relative recently asked me how is it DNA of humans are more oriented milk fat than fruits. I gave a lot of thought and realized that humans were not accommodated to fruit sooner because it is only with machinery and slavery were we able to clear large tracks of lands and proceed on the road of very high fruit production and consumption. So availability of fruit in large quantity relative to availability and DNA adjustment to milk fat has been recent. Consequently we are more adjusted to milk fat, strange as that seems.
Vegetables are nutrious and good fibre. Eliminate all packaged foods..look up glyciemic index and load. Avoid some veg but eat plentiful salads and greens
Great interview. I would like to know Dr. FUNGS opinion on fasting for female hormones. I am following Dr Mindy Pelz for fasting for hormones. (FAST LIKE A GIRL) and would love his view on fasting, and women x love these doctors that continue to question the mainstream narrative and stay open to learning. And sharing this much information for ABSOLUTELY free. Wow. Thank you Dr Fung.
I'm on 24 hr. intermittent fasting, I found that after about a week of only eating every 24 hrs. it becomes easy to fast. I don't know why but it becomes very easy to go 24 hrs.
Due to my work I eat only once a day by time constraints. I used to eat so often in school but now I work I eat once a day and I don't miss the mealtimes at all. Once a day is just fine, I have no hunger for a second meal. It really works, the body settles into the habit and all of a sudden it's no Biggie, where someone eating 6 times a day would imagine us to be constantly starving.

One thing i come across a lot is people assuming that the body is independent from thought and emotions. Also, not all bodies are the same, nor does one size fit all regarding dietary needs. What also needs to be addressed is that extra weight does not always equal dis ease or is caused from diet alone.
I was a teen during that time & there are a few issues. One they changed the food pyramid from 6-7 helpings of grains to 11. Then fat free became a thing, they got the coconut oil out of movie theatre popcorn, but another big issue is women started to go to college in droves & in the ‘professional categories’ accounting, law, medicine rather than secretary, hairdresser etc & with mom working she did not want the kid playing outside, they would get into trouble. So the kid is inside, & now microwaves are in everyone’s house so instead of the kid eating an apple or maybe even a sandwich if it’s a teen boy, now they’re eating micro popcorn, pizza etc. and no one to remind them what a serving is or they had enough. The three meals & 2 snacks came abt in the 80s when the premise was the process of eating/digestion raised your metabolism. But as a skinny kid & teen if I ate 1500 calories it was 300 breakfast, 400 lunch, 500 dinner & two 100 cal snacks, you were hungry & you needed the snack because you weren’t taking in enough calories at the meal to get you to the next meal
@lewishowes I want to address something that society puts on parents here. Children today spend more time inside on phones and games. Yes. But we do not have a society thar creates a safe outside play environment. When a child can get stolen and murdered by the man who delivers your packages you can't feel safe letting them be outside. And they begin to hear of this stuff too so they turn to the inside on their own choice as well. They don't want to go outside after a while. They are addicted to their routine of phones etc. The parents get blamed. But we also have terrible grandparents who are so self involved they don't even call these kids. Many of today's families are living far from the hometown village and are very isolated. Instead of constantly blaming the kids and the parents we need to address the causes not just attack the symptoms. Mom of 2 out.
As a parent I'm not going to take the risk. When you wake u0 to hear the news that a child the same age and gender as your own has been murdered by a pedo you just don't say: I will roll the dice, that won't happen to me.
Ummmm you're blaming society are you not? Grandparents etc...? Maybe figure out how to get your kids exercise. Have them join fav sports teams, or ballet if you have girls, keep them active. Go on hikes with your kids, go camping, go bike riding together, go on walks together. If your worried about danger leaving kids outside to play, then be outside with them! Problem solved. If grandparents aren't calling, have you addressed it with them? Maybe have your kids call them once in a while.
I was told as a kid if i did not want much for tea but wanted sweets later, i would have been told if i could not eat all my tea if could not have sweets....
I'm curious.. is there an age when it's too young to IF? Children probably should be eating more, no? I completely understand all these principles for adults, but how should we feed our children? Also, I'm in my 50's and play aLOT of tennis and other activities. I don't have any issues skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch, but I'm constantly hungry late in the day/ evening... should I increase food intake while IFing?
Back in the day I remember if I had a fresh loaf of bread out of the oven and I had some garlic butter available I would consume the whole loaf....I wonder what my blood sugar number was back then.....
Hi Barbara, one of my friends had this issue and was exploring L-carnitine and L-glutamine supplementation, so maybe you could speak to your doc about those options (they're also super affordable), kindest, Dave
We lose hair due to shock.(diet changes, seasonal, etc) How long have you been doing the IF etc? Usually the hair loss slows down once we adjust to lifestyle change. Mine did. Now I'm back to normal. Maybe get your nutrient levels checked? Increase protein--add in collagen/protein powder- may be what will help.
Depends. Type 2, yes, it is ok to fast. In fact, those with T2 can reverse their diabetes by fasting. But if you're on insulin, you'll need to check with your Dr. Going too low can be deadly.
I, Baked Some Wing Dings Honey Garlic Parmesan I, also added some Different Herbs to it. I, Had a Bottle of Ice Mountain Water and a Cup of Fa¡r Life Milk 1 Lime Jello with Pinnaples.1 Cup of V-8 1/2 Tsp of Sea Salt and Lime. Do You, Think I, ate to much?
Very Informative! It’s very sad to see so many obese children. Unfortunately not everyone can afford nutrient dense food. Processed food equals sickness and early death.
"Unfortunately not everyone can afford nutrient dense food." THAT is a HUGE part of this -- the food deserts (that some corporations create ON PURPOSE, with healthy food even more expensive in the one grocery store, let's say, in the less "well-appointed" neighborhood) ... where it's almost like eating healthily has become a LUXURY
Every single word that Dr. Fung says, is so logical and makes total sense. Thank you for sharing this with more people.

Love that mindset
It IS a feast every OMAD!
What was your feast window. Just curious if you did 16/8 or OMAD or ADF
He's absolutely correct!!! I reversed my type 2 diabetes and lost 86 pounds in 3 months just fasting and walking.
Ma i ask what you ate during meal times
Tell us more details. Like how much u walk daily. Other details…….
Wow! Great!!!
Please share details, what did you do?
You lost weight because you were eating less and burning more so you could eat a good amount on fasting but you lost weight actually through diet and exercise
Walk 30 minutes daily, do intermittent fasting, eat Whole foods and be consistent.
Yes!!! Do it and results will be seen in its true form. I did it and it work.
Perfect answer 👌

@ty Ty yes! I can attest that this has worked for me. I hop on my elliptical for at least 30 minutes after dinner 😄🎉

This is one truthful doctor that deserved to be given a nobel price since 2014 for his development of a sustainable cure for type III diabetes through Intermittent fasting, Exercises and low carbohydrate diet and showing us the Root causes of type III diabetes. I was 105 kg in 2014, but using his advice by 2019, I was 75 kg and free of diabetes with a normal BMI.
Jason is one of my all-time favourite health experts- it's always interesting to hear what he has to say. And Lewis-- Man, you have the innate ability to ask the questions we didn't even know we wanted the answers to. So insightful, So intriguing the answers incited from your questions. Out of all the people I've ever seen giving interviews, including Oprah, Barbara Walters, Ted Koppel, etc.. Lisa Bilyeu and you are simply the best. I just see a level of engagement I don't see --to the degree-- from the others as you bring. Thanks!! : D
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂
I have so much respect
Jason Fung. Enjoy listening to this wise man.
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for listening. 🧡
Thank you so i much for inviting this genius dr. I really appreciate it Lewis. ❤
Dr Jason Fung got me started about over year ago down 135 pounds, feeling great.68 yrs old.Thank you Lewis for this great guess!!!!
Dr Fung is brilliant!!!❤
Absolutely!
I like the hosts background. I love all of Dr. Jason Fungs videos the ones in his office or the ones he has with a planned media clip. All of his information is saving my life.
Thanks!
You're welcome,thank you for watching🧡
After WWll we in hungry Netherlands received swedish whitebread to fill the empty stomaches. So people got sick: they needed nutrients which were not in that bread.
Emotional eating is huge in our society
Eating has become so much more rewarding since IF. There is so little in the world that I can control, at least I can control when I eat!
Jason makes so much sense and the science easy
Thank you Dr Jason Fung, 2 years ago I was in a deep flare of mast cells activated syndrome, recently moved to the US and hadn’t found a specialist yet. Therefore by myself for surviving. Gained 60 pounds in 6 months. Angio oedema was severe, my O2 saturation was very often around 80. Watching his videos made me understand the benefits of lowering my insuline and my inflammation. Not only did I lose these 60 pounds, but also lowered all my symptoms of food and synthetic fragrances sensitivity triggering my anaphylactic shocks. I am wondering why we don’t find more papers on mast cells activated syndromes and ME improving on low carb diet. As a certified osteopath I am trying to motivate persons in groups (FB), difficult without the support of experts and physicians. Thank youuuu for your huge expertise and motivation!
Best quote…”The mental clarity of STARVATION”❤😊
So true!
I accidentally found out after my cat passed away last year, I lost my appetite completely. I wasn't able to eat for several days and got lightheaded.
I had to go to work.
The only food that was halfway appealing was bland food.
Steel-cut oatmeal with berries and a little peanut butter was on hand.
It took me a long time to eat a bowl...so filling.
I drank a ton of water too.
I ate nothing else except oatmeal and raspberries with a tbsp peanut butter.
It energized me. Had it 2-3 meals a day and water or black coffee or black tea.
On the 4th morning after starting oatmeal, I woke up and felt happy for no reason, euphoric in fact.
I told a friend who said you're in a fasted state due to eating nothing for days followed by about 500-600 calories a day for another few days.
That sounded about right...hadn't been sleeping, was stressed and fatigued.
My cat's death was still there but I was feeling better.
I spent the next 5-6 weeks eating oatmeal because I felt mentally clear and high spiritually, not hungry, weak or tired. Lost 16 pounds.
Finally I said I should eat...so I added mixed salad greens and raspberries and 2 tsp apple cider vinegar+1cup cold water with a few walnuts.
I did this for a couple days, then added steamed veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, then salmon, ground turkey gradually.
I don’t need weight loss but help with my overall energy level.
Thank you so much for this interesting interview. I am so glad I was in a time when we didn’t have access to process foods. We were poor and we ate out of what we grown in our garden. We ate meat once a week and it was liver with lots of vegetables. So now in my 40s I still continue to eat like this and my children as well. They do snack do, but they eat mindfully and try to be consistent. But with so much food it is hard for our children to stay healthy. I do hope we find a solution for this world wide problem.
You're welcome,thank you for watching🧡
Thank you Dr. Fung for saving lifes.❤ your prudent advice.
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
He is jem of a person.. Great interview many thanks
Great interview, Lewis! There are always these nuggets that you can find in interviews even if you are hearing the information again. I didn’t realize that you would have less insulin levels raised in the morning, then at night. Fascinating.
Love Dr. Fung! Thank you!
Thanks for being here!
Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion
So happy you are enjoying the content. I would love for you to follow my page and leave me a review here:

Listening to him gets me back on track. Recharged. 😊
Wonderful informations! Thank you.
I am day 110 lost weight struggle to walk think I was sick from being overweight and over medicated on blood pressure pills. Riding inside bike starting my short walks thanks love both your chats has helped me soo much changing habits eating green clean lots of low carb. Using my fitness pal app is the best too thank you love fasting doing 16/8 sometimes 18 other day 12/14 mostly 16
Great content gentlemen, I'm unable to give 2 hours of my undivided attention to your video, so I might have missed it, but I didn't hear about the importance of sleep. Intermittent fasting has been working for me for a few years. I sleep better if my eating time ends closer to bed time. Each person should do what works best for "you". Keep trying until you figure it out.
Thank you!
@53:09 potatoes are not a refined carbohydrates. Only so if made into chips and fries etc
Thank you for all the advice. From 110 kg to 81kg and my hba1c from 9.9 to 6.6. I dont have cramps at night anymore. I can walk fast. I feel so light. I do 18/6 and OMAD. I still cannot do 36.
Amazing interview; informative,exciting,doable,and positive ! My husband has Cancer and I will get the Cancer Code ASAP.
That book is about origins of cancer. What u need is very low carb ans eliminating sugar. I am a cancer survivor, the book is interesting but it won't tell you how to fix yourself if u have cancer.
You might also check out the interview with Dr. Goldhammer. There is a specific clinic here in California that deals with fasting and helping those with cancer. I will definitely say a prayer for you and your husband.
I have just started the cancer code it is gripping. Jason Fung has a way of explaining the whole dynamics of cancer in a way that makes it accessible to anyone who has no medical background.
I wish more medical people were like him instead of the mysterious white coat wonders who dont feel there patients warrant explanation or clear precise information.

Thank you so much.
🙏🙏
So much commonsense yes we did eat less in the 60’s and 70’s and we didn’t eat sugar laden foods, sure we had cordial, cake and biscuits but they were a treat and chocolate was Easter or Christmas. We have become a consumer society and it’s affecting our health in so many ways. Thank You thoroughly enjoyed this.🍉🥑🍳
Just come off. a 28-day Fast/Detox and I have been doing this for a while I realized that the first three days are the most challenging.
Day three is the worst! But after day 3, wow amazing willpower
Lewis they had told everything I would like to say so I'd like to say you are GREAT!
Appreciate you and your support🧡
I don't have much weight to lose but fast daily, eating one meal a day. I have a very physical job but still have bags of energy (I carry it everywhere i go 😉) and my body doesn't have to cope with digestion while I'm working. I am also freed from the chore of making lunch to take to work. It's a win-win-win!
To me, salmon , brie cheese and wine are comfort foods :)
🙌
Dr Fung's discussion is absolute pure knowledge explained simply and crystal clear.
Just one little inaccuracy regarding the fact that when you skip a meal or two or begin a prolonged fast, your body does not tap directly into your stored fat.... it draws energy from your glycogen storage for several days.
Infact... when I begin a prolonged fast, it takes me time, even more than a week to fully pull out energy from my body fat and during those days,
I have very low energy and quite some hunger.
It takes time for me to really start producing ketones.
It's NOT after 3-4 days for everyone.
Thank you for the great interview.
Greetings from Italy and Happy New Year 🥂🍾
Fantastic interview
Thank you so much Dr Fung! You’re the BEST!!! and Thank you Lewis, I love your podcast!
🧡
Question-how do we deal with nausea and stomach pains in the morning when trying to fast?
Avoid carbs for as long as possible BEFORE your fast. During a fast, you need electrolytes. The body does require these during this time. Try to make sure you take magnesium and potassium every day, and take about 1/2- 1 full teaspoon of sea salt everyday, as well. You can divide this up throughout the day, and just dissolve it in your water. Good luck on your fasts!
Thanks a lot Lewis for a great interview Dr Fung I love you my energy is back since 2018 you are an amazing researcher 💜🧡❤️💙Scientist without complicating science Yes IF & OMAD is the answer
You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
So much great information!! Thank you both!
You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
I am a lazy person, and quick feeling cold, but the moment I come up from the chair I feel less cold, and while doing something you do not think about the cold nor about food. So, I give myself a stump on the butt (not really) and say: I should not be so lazy, and promise something nice, like an apple, a puzzle, a serie-episode (after 4hours of biking). Do be friendly to yourself. Smile, and be proud and thankfull for any succes.
How do I manage intermiiten fasting once I achieve my ideal weight
I am fasting but I was hung up on calories in calories out. This is understandable thank you.
Really love this interview. Great questions…great content. A brilliant guy.❤
Today is day 99 of my fitness journey and I have lost a total of 22 pounds. I was originally 228 pounds and I am now 206. I hit the gym no less than five days a week and I continue to eat healthy every day, no cheat days!
After while, it became easy (as if I was on auto pilot) and I did not think twice about going to the gym or what to eat. Just try not to complicate the process.
Once you start seeing results and you prove to yourself that you are disciplined, it’s all about consistency from there on in.
I posted a few videos on my channel about my journey, and I post daily on my Instagram, and I hope to inspire others!
Omar
Congratulations 🙌
@@lewishowes thank you🙏 can’t wait to see the next hundred days of progress! 💪
Wow. I'm on day 7. Congrats
@@melissaholder4231 keep working hard and don’t look back! The first couple of weeks might be tough but once you fight through them and start seeing results, you will feel absolutely amazing.
Wishing you better health and both physical and mental strength on your life journey. Congratulations.
Thank you so much love you both ❤

Great discussion - I'd like to hear how underweight cancer patients could incorporate fasting into their tool box.
Thanks for being here!
I was 20 in the mid 70's, and all my friends and family and I were like stick insects. We spent our whole lives out side, ate 3 home cooked meals a day, (nothing processed) & walked everywhere & drank water. We were heavier however than our stick thin parents and grand-parents. Things have certainly changed since then. Enormously so.
I like what Dr.Fung was pointing to: circumstances causes change in habit. A relative recently asked me how is it DNA of humans are more oriented milk fat than fruits. I gave a lot of thought and realized that humans were not accommodated to fruit sooner because it is only with machinery and slavery were we able to clear large tracks of lands and proceed on the road of very high fruit production and consumption. So availability of fruit in large quantity relative to availability and DNA adjustment to milk fat has been recent. Consequently we are more adjusted to milk fat, strange as that seems.
There was very little mention of vegetables and fruits which are both carbs but do have fiber and I would like to know more about that subject
Vegetables are nutrious and good fibre. Eliminate all packaged foods..look up glyciemic index and load. Avoid some veg but eat plentiful salads and greens
Choose berries over bananas oranges etc 10:15
I lost 10lbs in just 1 month. Fasting is amazing. No carbs no sugar. I ate 1 meal a day between 10-12pm. Fast for 3days during my period.
Was looking in oat and almond milk are it's heavily processed
Love and respect .
Is there any research that says too little carbs in the form of fiber will affect the gut microbiome in a negative way? Thanks
Great interview. I would like to know Dr. FUNGS opinion on fasting for female hormones. I am following Dr Mindy Pelz for fasting for hormones. (FAST LIKE A GIRL) and would love his view on fasting, and women x love these doctors that continue to question the mainstream narrative and stay open to learning. And sharing this much information for ABSOLUTELY free. Wow. Thank you Dr Fung.
I'm on 24 hr. intermittent fasting, I found that after about a week of only eating every 24 hrs. it becomes easy to fast. I don't know why but it becomes very easy to go 24 hrs.
Due to my work I eat only once a day by time constraints. I used to eat so often in school but now I work I eat once a day and I don't miss the mealtimes at all. Once a day is just fine, I have no hunger for a second meal. It really works, the body settles into the habit and all of a sudden it's no Biggie, where someone eating 6 times a day would imagine us to be constantly starving.
I agree 💯
My, Breakfast 2 Eggs and 2 piece of Toast and Sasages.Coconut Water & Milk Snack: Pecans and Hot Chocolate with Marshmellows Drizzles with Carmel. 2 Meals 1 Snack
My comfort foods are healthy foods.
Definitely your environment ...this is why we gain weight during the holidays. Alternate Day Fasting is saving my life!!
It is SAD when you have to worry about getting GOOD FOOD to eat Growing up I didn’t have to but now I have to too much evil to deal with now
Temptation
Its a full time battle against the clever ways Processed Food try to maximise sales.
One thing i come across a lot is people assuming that the body is independent from thought and emotions. Also, not all bodies are the same, nor does one size fit all regarding dietary needs. What also needs to be addressed is that extra weight does not always equal dis ease or is caused from diet alone.
dr fung!!! 👏👏👏
I was a teen during that time & there are a few issues. One they changed the food pyramid from 6-7 helpings of grains to 11. Then fat free became a thing, they got the coconut oil out of movie theatre popcorn, but another big issue is women started to go to college in droves & in the ‘professional categories’ accounting, law, medicine rather than secretary, hairdresser etc & with mom working she did not want the kid playing outside, they would get into trouble. So the kid is inside, & now microwaves are in everyone’s house so instead of the kid eating an apple or maybe even a sandwich if it’s a teen boy, now they’re eating micro popcorn, pizza etc. and no one to remind them what a serving is or they had enough. The three meals & 2 snacks came abt in the 80s when the premise was the process of eating/digestion raised your metabolism. But as a skinny kid & teen if I ate 1500 calories it was 300 breakfast, 400 lunch, 500 dinner & two 100 cal snacks, you were hungry & you needed the snack because you weren’t taking in enough calories at the meal to get you to the next meal
How much time between meals is recommended, then?
@lewishowes I want to address something that society puts on parents here. Children today spend more time inside on phones and games. Yes. But we do not have a society thar creates a safe outside play environment. When a child can get stolen and murdered by the man who delivers your packages you can't feel safe letting them be outside. And they begin to hear of this stuff too so they turn to the inside on their own choice as well. They don't want to go outside after a while. They are addicted to their routine of phones etc. The parents get blamed. But we also have terrible grandparents who are so self involved they don't even call these kids. Many of today's families are living far from the hometown village and are very isolated. Instead of constantly blaming the kids and the parents we need to address the causes not just attack the symptoms. Mom of 2 out.
Their loss but they may come around later in their lifetime. They will learn it later if not now
As a parent I'm not going to take the risk. When you wake u0 to hear the news that a child the same age and gender as your own has been murdered by a pedo you just don't say: I will roll the dice, that won't happen to me.
Ummmm you're blaming society are you not? Grandparents etc...? Maybe figure out how to get your kids exercise. Have them join fav sports teams, or ballet if you have girls, keep them active. Go on hikes with your kids, go camping, go bike riding together, go on walks together. If your worried about danger leaving kids outside to play, then be outside with them! Problem solved. If grandparents aren't calling, have you addressed it with them? Maybe have your kids call them once in a while.
Don’t eat products with sugar and gluten. Rice , potatoes,pasta have lots of sugar.
I eat potatoe but not all the time, have limits. Yes its shows in your body and you see the weight creeps up fast!
I eat potatoes every day.
If you’re fasting you can still eat that just don’t over eat it
habits are absolutely HUGE for me
I was told as a kid if i did not want much for tea but wanted sweets later, i would have been told if i could not eat all my tea if could not have sweets....
I'm curious.. is there an age when it's too young to IF? Children probably should be eating more, no? I completely understand all these principles for adults, but how should we feed our children? Also, I'm in my 50's and play aLOT of tennis and other activities. I don't have any issues skipping breakfast and sometimes lunch, but I'm constantly hungry late in the day/ evening... should I increase food intake while IFing?
Back in the day I remember if I had a fresh loaf of bread out of the oven and I had some garlic butter available I would consume the whole loaf....I wonder what my blood sugar number was back then.....
Me too, my diet used to be 90% carbs, it was appalling. Bread and pasta were my main foods.
@@xxxAyereaxxxdo you notice any difference with less bread and pasta
What about artificial foods/ drinks?
How do I stop the hair loss
I love the diet I have lost 33 lbs. But the hair loss scares me
Thanks barb holton
Hi Barbara, one of my friends had this issue and was exploring L-carnitine and L-glutamine supplementation, so maybe you could speak to your doc about those options (they're also super affordable), kindest, Dave
Are you eating enough protein?
@Barbara Hilton…I eat all kinds of nuts. Walnuts, pecans, pistachios & almonds…Biotin helps! Also take a high quality cod liver oil. Good luck.
Did you have your tonsils removed?
We lose hair due to shock.(diet changes, seasonal, etc) How long have you been doing the IF etc? Usually the hair loss slows down once we adjust to lifestyle change. Mine did. Now I'm back to normal. Maybe get your nutrient levels checked? Increase protein--add in collagen/protein powder- may be what will help.
How can you fast safely if you’re diabetic or it doesn’t matter if your diabetic? 14 hr fast is safe for a diabetic to follow.
Depends. Type 2, yes, it is ok to fast. In fact, those with T2 can reverse their diabetes by fasting. But if you're on insulin, you'll need to check with your Dr. Going too low can be deadly.
I think people know how they live. Just don’t care about themselves anymore.
I, Baked Some Wing Dings Honey Garlic Parmesan I, also added some Different Herbs to it. I, Had a Bottle of Ice Mountain Water and a Cup of Fa¡r Life Milk 1 Lime Jello with Pinnaples.1 Cup of V-8 1/2 Tsp of Sea Salt and Lime. Do You, Think I, ate to much?
Thank you!!!

Thank You ⛪️ For this Topic
Very Informative! It’s very sad to see so many obese children. Unfortunately not everyone can afford nutrient dense food. Processed food equals sickness and early death.
"Unfortunately not everyone can afford nutrient dense food." THAT is a HUGE part of this -- the food deserts (that some corporations create ON PURPOSE, with healthy food even more expensive in the one grocery store, let's say, in the less "well-appointed" neighborhood) ... where it's almost like eating healthily has become a LUXURY
Sorry. Not true. My daughter feeds her kid healthy foods, and they eat less garbage, no cereals, etc and they live cheap. She shops smart.
Does anybody still snack when IF
What does he consider Whole Foods. So many different opinions on this word.
Biggest take away. Each person can do something about own health.
