Dr Fung is the GOAT of the fasting world.
EXACTLY I started watching Mindy Pelz and she referenced Dr. Fung. Read the book, listened to the podcasts he's featured on. He's been a godsend in this whacky world of eating.
Dr. JASON FUNG, Dr. Barbara O'Neil, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas and Dr. Frank Suarez
I just started my spring, three day fast after my meal today. I'll break my fast with our Easter meal. I'll be 61 next month. When I was 57, I was a mess. I was almost 300 lbs, high blood pressure, asthma, and crippling osteoarthritis and bone spurs in my foot and ankle. I could barely walk with a cane, had orthotics, ankle supports and braces up to my knee etc. I was in such pain, I truly thought I was going to have a stroke and not live very long. Covid was just starting and we were in lockdown. I happened upon one of Dr Fung's interviews on TH-cam..it changed my life. I had tried everything else to lose weight and what he said made so much sense to me. I watched more interviews and lectures and read his books.
Learning how to fast and eat healthy keto, I ended up losing 160 lbs., I'm off all medications, my asthma is gone and my osteoarthritis pain is hardly noticeable now. I'm maintaining great and loving my fasting lifestyle 🥰. I'm so thankful 🙏😊
Fantastic Jessica 💖🌟I’ve read many comments like this about Jason Fung. He’s wonderful ~ and so are you for your achievements ❤️
@@gwendawnseto2284 Thank you so much. You can see my story on The Magic of Fasting TH-cam channel. I'm loving my fasting lifestyle 😍
Great job, I'm working on repeating your journey
That's incredible. I'm happy for you!
Amazing! Congratulations!
67 yrs old diabetic 2...three years ago...doctor gave me ADA approved diet list dated 2017, metformin and lipitor.. I ran.....stopped all meds, changed to a holistic doctor and in three months thru old fashion
Atkins, keto, fasting and now keto/carnivore reversed
all metabolic diseases and maintained. Feel great!! Thank you doctors for spreading this message!!! 🎉
Great achievement
Congrats!🎉🎉 This is inspirational on taking charge of our health. Thanks for sharing.
You are an inspiration to us all! Keep spreading the word! Paying it forward 😊🙏
Thank you for such nice replies...I have to say it's a lonely life being healthy! 😂... Appreciate your support! ❤
Dr. Jason Fung, you have saved my life. As a 48 yrs old Asian woman living in Korea, I've just went through a total hysterectomy removal and a toal thyroid gland removal. So, I have very low estrogen levels and thyroid hormone levels. I have incredible doctors who had conducted the surgeories, they have told me it would be very difficult for me to lose weight since I have low levels of estrogen and thyroid which made me so depressed. Then I encountered a podcast interviewing you which led me to start an OMAD KETOGENIC CALORIC DEFICIT DIET. I have lost 13kg (nearly 30 lbs) in 80 days. I walk or do home training for 30 minutes for my brain health and mood. I am now overweight and not obese. I am 160cm 62kg now. I still have a long way to go, and I think this type of diet is a change in my life style and not a temporary diet program. I am happy, well-slept, in a good mood all the times middle aged woman. Thanks to you. I really appreciate what you are doing to the world. You have saved my life! ( Sorry for imperfect English) I tell people around me who are suffering from insluin resistance or weight about you and the books you've written. Thank you.
What a huge accomplishment. All the best in your health journey.
What an incredible story. Congratulations to you! 🙏😊
I tell people when appropriate that eating less is best and as an aside I have eaten one meal a day since 2010 because It makes me feel good.... simple... then I walk away.... I am 73 so I do not want to lose weight ... muscle and fat is the name of the game now..... I eat well, keep moving, am working,,,, enjoy my life... not wealthy, could do with more money,,,, but that keeps me keen
Jason is the voice of reason in this dogmatic space. 👏
Also, on one level
A cane sugar soda
Doesn't make you eat
As much as a corn syrup soda
Both are bad, but, how do you get sugar from corn 🤔
I have a lot of respect for Dr. Fung. When he said,"T he general population has a lower level of Testosteron and I'm not really sure why"? I was perplexed, here he saying all these health issues are diet related, but he is not sure why testosteron level are falling?
He knows exactly why. It's all about what we are being fed by corporate america's food industry.
It's the plastics too. Look up Dr Anthony Jay and the studies he shows.
Fixing hormones is a big one, you cannot reap the full benefits and of good diet if your hormones are off. He’s totally right about this.
When Dr Ben Bikman said that menopausal women become insulin resistant it was eye opening. I wish I had known this ten years ago I would have dropped the carbs immediately. But that wasn’t a popular way of thinking back then, that research was not mainstream and all sorts of “cures” were sold through supermarkets and pharmacies which cost a lot and did nothing.
ICU nightshift nurse here. Thank you for tackling shift work. My circadian rhythm is all messed up. Can't switch on my nights off. Hopefully, can get a morning shift that's not as taxing soon.
My story is yours too. ICU (stressful), overtime to cover shifts (never enough help), lack of sleep, so many reasons my health declined. Lots of weight gained during that time.
Why isn't there enough help from RNs and NPs? @@Avoid_Low_Frequency
@@Avoid_Low_Frequencybless you for your service to critically ill
Thank you for your service to ZICU critically ill
@suzanbak1 thank you. It is overwhelming but really fulfilling.
Nice to see that he’s still practical and honest. Good person!
Tested positive for covid 3x at age 63-64 bc i work in healthcare office at nirsing home. Absolutely zero symptoms. But...i did get to work from home for 14 days each positive test 😂. Carnivore since age 62 , not even a cold in last 3 yrs.
If you had no symptoms...how did u know to test?
@@MarkDimalanta we were required in the nursing home where I am employed.
I'm plant based, clean , no processed eater... This brilliant man saved my life... Thank you Jason BIG TIME !
Your health may lose a lot on just a plant base. Search Dr. Elizabeth Bright vids for hormone balance
Plant based is a mistake though.. animal products are so important.
Plants/carnivore are both needed
What's not, are processed foods
Plants also aren't necessarily "clean" if they were cultivated using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (same sentiment for meat and dairy).
If someone wants to stand a chance of eating clean, they need to avoid synthetic compounds (eat organic, certified by a quality organisation, and endocrine disrupting and carcinogenic compounds).
It's a shame Dr Fung doesn't touch on this, even if it's not a topic he's familiar with.
Dr Fung's comments on muscle loss around the 34:00 mark was very interesting. I think he broke it down very well.
It has been shown that eating meat raises your testosterone levels. Dr Anthony Chaffe is a neurologist on TH-cam who has treated patients with a carnivore diet and has raised his patient's testosterone levels this way. Also doing weight resistance exercise.
I’ve always felt better low carb/low to no salt, but I couldn’t sustain it-because I wasn’t eating enough fat. I wish I knew that I was listening to my body and was on the right track, but just needed to add more fat to my diet.
I have been doing IMF since January, after doing the Daniel fast, for 21 days with my church. I have lost 20 pounds, my AIc went from 6.4 to 5.9y.The doctor wanted to know what I was doing differently. Thanks to Dr Jamnadas in Orlando and Dr Fung in Toronto. I have listened to about a dozen of their videos combined.
I was especially proud of my 3 day water only fast. And is working my mind to do a 5 day. Felt great with an almost high.
Yes Dr. Pradip Jamnadas and Dr. Jason Fung but don't forget Dr. Barbara O'Neil as well
Dr. Fung, i listened to you and I used fasting in the beginning of my weight loss. A few 48 hour, but mostly OMAD. I think it was very useful for me , I had a lot of fat to loose and I did. I had to learn about how to break the fast and Dr. Berry's opinion was to eat eggs at first, then after an hour or two you could eat meat. It's always about having a food plan. That plan needs to be focused on whole, healthy food. My thought process then and now is what will be nurishing and I scrutinize most food that comes in a box or bag as poison when ingredients listed are unknown. I mostly eat meat and eggs because it's so easy. If good keto vegetables are available I'll eat them. All the old carb loaded foods I always liked and ate are gone and I don't miss them. I'm in a really good place, a new way of eating.
Hello from East Tx +++=Go Carnivore fo LIFE!!!++++Marvin
Got a call yesterday, his mom (my ex) had a heart attack, stint blah blah. She is diabetic, over weight though not to bad, poor blood pressure control, metabolically unfit, traveling right down the path of way to many folks.
In the US, they have a number of magnesium sprays that don't have the gut side effects. They also have Vitamin D2/K3 patches which seems to really help in dark climates or with overweight people...fasting is lots easier when I get enough VitaminD2/K3 and the patches bypass my tricky stomach.
The continuous/daily habit of processed food and fast food causes most of the problems for most people. That’s why I like intermittent fasting and OMAD
I have been fasting since Jan 2024, vary length of fast and my HbgA1c went up from 5.5 to 5.8 why is this. I am obese and have lost 10 pounds since starting this lifestyle. I feel great. I do a lot of 17 hrs. fast or greater and have done one 36 hr. fast love it.
Couple of things to consider
If you have fatty liver, during your fasting periods your liver can be off loading fat deposits by converting liver fat to glucose. This can increase a1c, but is a healthy adaptation.
Also, a1c is flawed. It assumes red blood cells live about 100 days, but really they can live from 80 to 130 days. Fasting can increase the lifespan of your red blood cells, and bias a1c to the high side. Again this is a healthy adaptation
I'd suggest a cgm. It's really the only way to see what's really going on
Your body is converting belly fat to glucagon. You are forcing your body to live off yourself, which is good. A1C's will vary. You are still in a safe range. I am a type 1 diabetic. And when I fast, I still take insulin. It's because my body is digesting stored sugars in my fat. I've lost almost 40 lbs in 10 months. I was 185, and now sit around 148-151.
You are doing the right thing. Just continue and your body will eventually adapt.
Thanks for your information for shift working. I gained 40 pounds after working the overnight shift because it took me 6 months for my body to adjust which added more arthritis in knees. It didn't help that I was going through menopause. I haven't been able to fast past 10 hours but that plus low carb and getting more sleep, after a year I have now lost 50 pounds. All this information is helping make those changes.
I'M 74 WITH t2 ďiabetic highly in need to your books Please show me the way.

Everyone talks about how improving metabolic health with diet, fasting etc can balance hormone. What about it creating an imbalance? I’m doing keto and intermittent fasting and some longer fasts as I have cancer. But I’ve not yet gotten my period(not pregnant) and I’m thinking it’s the 18:6 fasting. I’d like to somehow starve the cancer but keep my period if possible. After beating cancer…I want at least one child. I hope it will come back.
Hey Jason, best Intermittent Fasting book I can get
I Love You All
Allulose apparently is a GLP-1 rare sugar that suppresses appetite and improves insulin sensitivity by decreasing blood glucose and insulin. This is opposite of Ozempic which encourages the body to increase insulin. I take a bit of allulose in my coffee each day esp on my fasting days and it helps a LOT. I love the decrease of appetite. But it is dose dependent and I have great pleasure in eating on my re feed days. Have you started to encourage the use of allulose? It's a great addition to my IF lifestyle.
For someone who is always hungry and have to measure my eating at carnivore diet because I'll overeat., I feel not being hungry at all like dr. Fing says with ozempic would be wonderful.
Do you use Ozempic injections.
Ok so I started the intermediate fasting and I didn't stop my three day a week full body training program. I dropped below 190 and then held at 185 and then went to 176 and dropped to 169 . I can't afford to drop that low and absolutely did I look smaller and got told I was looking sickly. I went from looking like I worked out to actually not appearing that way
Im an expert on my own body. Thank you Crouch and Della Reese.
Trying to cure kidney and liver damage and enlarged prostate. 2 months carnivore. Lost 35lbs but my sugars are still high. UK based. Would these medications Candesartan
Dapagliflozin
Tamsulosin
slow down my metabolic health recovery ???
Prescribing ozempic is a crime
Does 18 to 20 hour fasting remove biofilms heavy metals and mycotoxins
Rice and sugar. lol. Being Asian, when we were poor that’s what we ate.
Im 43 and its really hard losing weight and I got to the gym 4 days out of the week. Fasting for 6 days allowed mr to lose 15lbs but now i gained it all back. Im cutting carbs completely until it's a day that I train. Im just over it at this point
You sound like me. I 39 and struggled to loose weight my whole life. I always joke that the average person can run a mile a day and loose weight then I'd have to run 5. And if I stop I put it all back on.
However, I switched to a carnivore 80/20 diet, eventually UPPING my calories to about 2000+ a day and the weight just falls off. I don't exercise and unfortunately live a very sedimentary life, but of yesterday I'm down 50lbs in 6 months.
Now here's the tricky part, I didn't loose weight during 3 months, but I did my body measurement starting 3 months into the diet and was recording once a month. During that three month period I still lost almost 9 inches! I think when you're eating well, and adding exercising would be a help, you're gaining muscle and loosing fat. And that might be what's happening to you.
You can do it. Keep intermitent fasting and avoid. Rice, sugar, pasta, potatoes and all kind of breads. Stay away from all prosseced foods!!! Im 49 and I lost 47 pounds in 7 months. From size 16 to size 10
Low carb has been around since the beginning of time. It was feast or famine.
Can fasting help with lipedema?
😉👍❤️
Does honey in black tea break a fast? My goal is OMAD. I’ve been drinking black tea and honey without thinking it might be breaking the fast.
Honey and agave are sweeter than table sugar so I would think it does.
I wanna get with his calorie argument, but every time I’m low carb/keto and I bring nuts into the house, my weight loss goes right out the door. Too many damn calories right there.
Well don’t bring home nuts. They are to easy to over eat.
It may not be the calories. Your body is having a hormonal response to the nuts.
Nuts contain carbs in addition to protein and fat.
if you have weight to loose...you can not eat nuts.
Once you have gotten to your ideal weight..nuts are fine.
Unless you eat them mindlessly like lollies.....
anything in extreme excess is over loading the body. it can only utilize so much energy.
I can't eat nuts. Because I don't know when to stop. 😞
I ate nuts n yogurt while losing. But now I'm trying to eliminate them to see if there is any difference as I have a mild case of rosacea that I didn't have when I was younger.
Yesterday I noticed my throat felt a little itchy as I ate a couple while putting them in hubby's yogurt. My brother is allergic. I've read they can be inflammatory, so I'll see ...
Important to note that Fung admits to not being a sex hormone expert. Advising to have your hormones checked after menopause is not going to be productive. Don’t expect your estrogen level to be anything other than low after menopause. That’s expected. HRT can be helpful for many people, and if you are in menopause and have symptoms, you don’t need your hormones checked to get this treatment, just ask your doctor if you’re a candidate for it.
Why am I losing so slowly? I'm doing omad my RA pains are gone. I am 3 months now on fasting. I'm doing it with keto, but my body is stubborn, or am I in a hurry?
Have you been drinking cool, not ice water?
I find, that ice water makes you go 🚽and you don't hydrate
I have heard from several of the utube doctors that depending on your health, weight loss doesn't necessarily happen quickly until inflammation and healing take place. It's also an opportunity to keep some notes on what n how much you r eating and how you feel afterwards. I had issues with leg cramps, too much energy and sleep loss. I lost water weight fast. 10lbs in 3 weeks. I've adjusted. I'm also active. I workout with weights and had to adjust my cardio. We all have to find what works. Best wishes
Well I am fasting too and learning from some Dr. and scientists like Dr. Mindy's videos on TH-cam.From Dr.Mindy's videos I have come to know that women in general and specially who have a cycle should not do omad and should not fast more than 14-15 hourish during ovulation days (from day 11 to day 16 being day 1 is the day when period starts)and not more than 12,(max 13)the weak before period as it can potentially mess up the hormones function,so we can do longer fasts like 24 or 36 hours during our period days,at least that's what I understood from various fasting videos.Also Dr. Mindy says that fasting is more effective when we vary it instead of doing same hours every day.From my personal experience I feel like beside fasting and some calorie deficit we have to do some exercises too and we need energy for that,so we should experiment and see which fasting duration works better for us so that we can make sure to include the exercise in our weekly routine too.Besides that I feel like our body is a complex thing and loosing weight is a longer process than we like it to be...so Patience and keep trying is the only thing we can do😅 Wish you best of luck,be safe and healthy 😊🙏
Fasting and low carb are so much better...then there was a woman who went blind from ozempic and she joined a group will a bunch of people who have bad side effects....so try the few side effects of fasting & low carb first.
I agree. Fasting and low carb is great. I saw a medical story years ago where a person ate a rather large one meal a day. It wasn't one plate of food. Lol. It's a form of IF. It was just fascinating.
Okay Fung, enough about the comparisons. 😂
Calm down
Mmm meat, fast. Mmm meat, fast. Mmm meat, fast.
Veggies mmmmmm veggies meat will kill you
So sad about nutritionist.. I wanted to be nutritionist young.. I don’t regret I didn’t
Fasting, low carb, ketosis and exercise do not burn belly fat if you are over 60. You have half the growth hormone and testosterone of a twenty year old.
Agreed.
What eating plan, in your opinion, works best for over 60s.
@@sheeriew That, detective, is the right question.
Carnivore! For the win!
@@davedupuis5560 There has to be another way. I haven’t eaten meat for over 30 yrs.
Hi I just want to share my experience adapting the carnivore diet. I love watching Dr. Fung. He is one of my go to dr for all the information i’ve needed since last yr when i initially did keto and fasting.
Just wanted to share that I am a sugar addict. Went keto last JUNE 2023 + IF, lost 9kg, but i still CRAVED for KETO desserts. I ALWAYS have a keto dessert in my fridge. By HABBIT, my meal felt incomplete without dessert. I got stomach flu, and went back to my addiction SEPT 2023. This went on til FEB 2024 and I gained 4kg back.. I noticed my clothes got fit and tight again 😭 and after doing some research, I decided this FEBRUARY 14 to go carnivore cause I had to address my CARB addiction.
Day1 (Feb14)- I dropped the carbs. I felt fine but on the afternoon. I was battling cravings, felt this HEADACHE, I stuffed myself with eggs and meat and butter and water..
Day2- I suddenly dont feel the cravings which is bizarre. First time since my childhood. But i have this “habits” that at certain times of the day I MISS certain food, or dessert. But stuffed myself again. No coffee still
Day3- i feel fine. Its weird. I feel like i adjusted so easy. But I found myself feeling thirsty. Having palpitations too. i watched lots of podcasts and people going through the same as me and got myself motivated. I slowly start to lose weight.
Day 4- i lost weight. I forgot how much. Definitely water weight. But got REALLY motivated, and amazed at my loss of cravings for sweets and fries!
1 week in- I incorporated coffee cause I cant give it up! Lol
2-3 weeks in- i’ve been struggling with recipes and had to look up online, 2nd week i added heavy cream on coffee, on the 3rd week i incorporated cheese in my food. I know it should be after 90 days but i cant 😂
Up to now, i’ve made snacks made with cheese!
One thing I have to say, i was really thirsty at my 1st 1-2weeks. Had palpitations the 1st week then went away as my body adjusted. And since then i’ve been battling my “feelings” for certain food. I dont have the cravings. Its just that I miss certain desserts and sweets and certain foods cause i initially ate clean carnivore. But it’s no longer something that i cannot control. It’s hard cause ADS keep popping my feed. Fast forward to now it’s a constant mind battle but i lost 6kg or 13.2lbs.
PROS? No sugar cravings, cheaper, easier grocery, easier cooking. I say it’s cheaper cause you just can’t overeat on a carnivore diet. 😊 when you’re full, you won’t wanna eat anymore. You’ll be fully satiated. Fasting on the carnivore comes naturally. Unlike before.
CONS? When buying cheese, processed meat, heavy cream, I scan the label for ingredients and buy the ones without veggie oils, or other fillers. Its kinda hard to find the cleanest ingredients on local groceries where i live but its not impossible. Its just a con to me cause i cant just grab the cheapest commercial cheese on the rack. Hard to think of other yummy recipes! Lol. Missing out on the delicacies of eating treats and great food. But i’ve come to the conclusion to eat CLEAN at home. but when you do have social events, dont be too hard on yourself. I either order whats applicable to my diet or NEAR my diet. Cheat days with yummy ice cream on occasion but its important to assess yourself and self control! If you cannot control yourself after certain foods or desserts and craving hits you and you just spiral out of control, then make the conscious decision to choose NOT to do it occasionally. And just not do it. I love how this diet makes me feel. At first it was about the weightloss. Now it’s about the mental clarity, no headaches, i have allergic rhinitis almost every few days before carni, and now i dont! Less flare ups of eczema, i know this could go away if i could just stick to the cleanest carnivore but.. 😂 i’m lighter, my head feels clear/light. No brain fogs! Muscle recovery is faster, at least for me. I dont have smelly gas anymore, excuse the TMI. Generally i just feel great!
I feel like we are so similar! I did carnivore so well for a while, like 8 months, then Christmas came and my sugar addiction kicked in too much. I just am back on this diet for 2 weeks now. I am working on eating more meat and eggs to make me full.
