Dr. Fung (@drjasonfung), i've always wanted to ask how is Ozempic (and similar) drugs any different, in the end result, than fasting? I asked myself this question, then saw your videos and I am now a regular faster. I've done multiple 3 day water fasts and have lost quite a bit of weight and have managed to keep it off.
Hi Dr.Jason fung. I'm 28 Its been 1 year and I was diagnosed to have medulloblastoma..my treatment regimen for the same is over as of now i.e finished Surgery,chemo and radio Rx for the same. Since it's a malignant tumor and it can recur at anytime and no advanced studies are there for adult medulloblastoma..can I do intermittent fasting? What will be the benefits I gain?pls help
plz make a video about the current research of AHA which claims that IF can increase our risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases by 91%. is it true or not?
Congrats on your 27 kg WOW. Great job staying focused on healing your body. Yes, these Rx weight loss drugs have a ton of major side effects including CANCER and DEATH. channel 60 min Australia has even done reports on this deadly rx drugs warning people not to take it.
Do people ever gain or maintain on it? I have gastroparesis and I gain really easily, despite being bloated and nauseated all the time. Simple carbs are easiest for me to digest and so I just struggle with balance. And I'm not alone. Gastroparesis "gainers" are a lot more common than you'd think. And ozempic is basically just causing gastroparesis, yeah? So is there a subset of people who just don't lose on ozempic, or do they just dial up the dose until they CAN'T eat?
The drug trial was only about a year. Complications were thyroid cancer and other issues. Now people are having gall bladder issues and pancreatitis. What could go wrong with a drug that slows the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Count carbs not calories.
Every single one of those side effects is listed inside the box. People didn't think it could happen to them.We knew the risks before we used it. I am a Type ll Diabetic.I had nothing to lose and everything to gain by using this drug. Glad I did.
there is no evidence of thyroid cancer in humans as a result of using ozempic. only in a very small percentage of mice. gall bladder issues like gallstones can happen in any instance of rapid weight loss because of the process of metabolizing existing fat. not remotely unique to ozempic. you need to check your info better.
One of the side effects I experienced from the jab was loss of feeling 'full'. Ever. Basically full when body can't contain any more. Even with good discipline it's very difficult not to gain weight over time when permanently hungry. So.... on a similar treatment now. I'm extremely annoyed I'm taking a med with side effects to compensate for an experimental injection that was mandated on me. And the co$t......
When you are diabetic or pre diabetic nothing helps with weigh loss. Your hormone insulin has pooped out. Which is one reason someone like me doesn't pay for the drug. Second is my bmi which is 32 because even on keto for a year and eating once a day, I lost less than ten pounds. My insulin HORMONE isn't working. Wouldn't matter what I try. That's science, it's on paper and my blood panels show I'm in amazing health and eating healthy EXCEPT my hormone pooped out. So it's not really fair to blanket what you blanketed. You're very lucky to be able to fast and stay small. Careful because the HORMONE poops out for alot of women in middle age which is why we get fat. Just saying.. Research more you will learn more.
I already fast, I already have gastroparesis and nausea and early satiety .. fasting is the best thing I've found.. but if I have sweets it all goes out the window and I'm starving and I want sugar all day
I was on Semiglutide for a few weeks. It showed me how much I have been eating because I was bored or out of habit. After it I eat more consciously. I'm simply aware of how I feel and what my cravings mean. It simply straighten up my relationship with food. Loosing weight was just a side effect of it
I'm going on 62 years old and diabetic and I've a weight problem.....my doctor prescribed me ,ozempic after 2 months of injection i almost died of a heart attack my doctor unprescribe it ....for the 2 months everything that i ate tasted like rotten eggs...5'3"and weighted 220 lbs since my heart attack i change my eating habits i don't eat meats now i weight 170 lbs still got a little way to go but the weight is staying off ... I'm writing this so for people to be aware and those who is taking this just to lose weight there's is a danger.... hope this help someone....stay safe God bless
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment, if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
I noticed that my toe nails was dark so I went to my doctor's office for some blood work and my A1C was 5.7 that is border line type two diabetes. At the time all I ate was pizza, garlic bread, french fries and burritos. I changed my deit immediately all I aet was chicken, turkey and red snapper fish. I also got some over the counter medicine from Walgreens called doctor Stephanie's (blood suger 24 hours and carb and sugar blocker) weight loss program. I went back to my doctor's office after four months and my blood sugar levels was 91 my A1C was 5.1 I did not have deibetes. My doctor told me I can eat some wild rice and RYE bread if I want so I added those two to my new deit. This is my success story.
Sixty minutes Australia has posted several youtube stories about fatal side effects caused by the GLP-1 meds. I could never use it as I had pancreatitis about twenty years ago.
Thank you Dr Fung for sharing this information. Ozempic may not be for everyone, but it certainly has helped many lose weight and improve their health.
Thank you for explaining this Dr. Fung! I'm so thankful this was not an option for me when I needed to lose weight. I'm thankful I found your videos, books and lectures to teach me how to control my hunger and lose 160 lbs by eating healthy keto and learning how to fast. ❤️ I'm 60 and three years ago I weighed almost 300 lbs and was a metabolic mess. Now, I'm maintaining great and loving my fasting lifestyle. It's reversed ALL my health issues and I'm medication free 😃. Thank you for all you do for us 😊🙏
I have been on Wegovy for 2 months. I have had none of the negative side effects and it has also drastically helped my anxiety and depression. I have no more cravings for junk food, and I find myself reaching for whole foods more naturally. It is an absolute game changer in my own personal experience.
Jason, So on Friday they American Heart Association said there was a 91% increase in risk of death from Intermittent fasting.. please find this study and get us the facts. Are they lying with statistics?? This is a serious issue as I have type 2 and I guess very high LDL. Can you please comment and make a video
I'm confused... I started video expecting you to explain all the problems we keep hearing about it, especially gut problems, and hear your warnings to not use it.. but that was all missing! it actually sounded like you endorse this drug????? is that true?
Maybe what you are hearing is bogus. Maybe Dr. Fung is giving real information that nobody here wants to hear. It works. It is effective. And it is life changing/life saving for many.
So what the video is saying is Ozempic is a good thing? My understanding was that it wasn't. I've read that a significant amount of the lost weight was muscle, not only fat, which in my mind would reduce your basal metabolic rate and therefore you'd gain the weight back if you stopped? My understanding from the obesity code was that caloric restriction was not the key, but eating window was the key, because simple caloric restriction reduces your metabolism, where a reduced eating window would not. How does Ozempic affect the metabolism? Would you really recommend it over simple intermittent fasting? I find the messaging in this video confusing.
I absolutely agree with you. People are going to be in search of this because they want to lose weight forgetting that it's not weight that matters it's body fat percentage. And so in the search of what people consider health and then taking this drug... All we're doing is hooking ourselves on one more prescription for now and a whole bunch later when our bone density starts to suffer and when falling down and breaking a hip kills us.
@@Lorij24 Yeah. I'm quite frustrated with this. My mother just got prescribed Ozempic from her doctor. She's 75, has osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and is overweight. The last thing she needs is to lose more muscle and bone density.
He didnt say, he recommended this drug. He said in the last minute of the video "there are also many ways that activate the same receptors, the GLP.1" He definitely means. "You dont need this drug".
y’all, muscle loss happens during all forms of rapid weight loss. ozempic has no mechanism to uniquely cause extra loss of muscle mass. people lose weight on ozempic because they intake less food due to decreased appetite and therefore burn through stored fat. the exact same process that happens during a calorie deficit. seriously, try educating yourself.
@@linedpaper5374 I absolutely agree with you, but the problem is that we've been fed this idea of weight loss and body weights for a very very long time. So when people simply go in search of a calorie deficit or weight loss, there is inherently a loss of bone density and muscle mass because we're not prioritizing resistance training or consumption of protein at the same time. This is yet another drug that is pushing this concept of just losing weight as an ideal standard to work toward. I think that the damage is in the intentional ignorance.
I lost 70lbs in 6 months last year, no loose skin, using fasting and high intensity interval training (following Chloe Tings free TH-cam challenges). I’ve maintained effortlessly for 7 months now, using OMAD and trying to not eat too many processed carbs and refined sugars. Not sure what Mr Fung is going to say about ozempic as just started the video, but it’s extremely expensive and you have to stay on it forever or else you’ll gain the weight back. People who go on it for weight loss are also reporting a huge range of horrific side effects including their g3nitals peeling and worse 😱 On top of that, many have reported very little weight loss. It’s NOT WORTH IT when you can do it naturally and experience lasting health and vitality as a result 💚
@@femme7097I mostly used OMAD but did some ADF and 72s depending on how I was feeling ^_^ I always focussed on my health and nutrition so only fasted as long as I was still feeling strong enough for the HIIT and walking :) I built some muscle during this time using mostly only my own body weight and became a lot stronger and more agile over the course of the 6 months which indicates I was eating enough during my eating windows even during longer fasts 🙏🏻 (some people do it incorrectly and just waste away while reporting a lot of weakness etc, but daily HIIT seemed to be like a “magic key” for me) :)
@@femme7097 omad is just one meal a day. And try to make it a healthy one with healthy fats, protein, good carbs and magnesium. I too lost 50 lbs in just a few months and a total of 80 lbs in a years time. Fasting, working out and good rest is the absolute best thing for your body.
@@jodyfro1312 Oh, it's 'life changing' alright.. Dr. Ardis research shows snake venom in this "medicine" you call life changing is paralyzing digestive tract, so food is not be processed but is coming back up. 🤮 But if you still trust big pharma after the last four years, (?!)... you do you, ok!?
I was on Ozempic for 9 months and it was awful. I had terrible side effects and was in constant pain, although I did lose 35 pounds. It wasn’t worth it at all. Now I fast and eat whole foods and have had much better results, without any pain.
Ozempic made me extremely ill. GI distress, nausea, vertigo. Lost very little weight despite eating about 1000 cal a day. Couldn't digest vegetables or protein, which also made me sick to my stomach. Numerous side effects. Never again.
I just wanna say thank you Mr. Fung. My weight dropped from 100kg to 86kg in 2 months. I am wearing CGM and confirmed every bit of your words. In Hong Kong, lots of people keep wondering why "some people no matter how much they eat , they keep a good body shape and some gaining lots of weight by just drinking water", I think you have solved this myth - IR.
Thank you for all your efforts.... 70lbs lost in 6 months - swimming everyday riding horses again, sleeping at night and excitedly anticipating first grandbaby later this year. 🎉🎉🎉 Feeling like I have a key to stay at a healthy weight for life. fingers crossed 🤞
Isn't the weight loss still due to calorie deficit? If the affect of the drug causes all of these side affects: you are nausaeous, vomiting, eating less snacks, eating healthy food choices, exercising.....doesn't that explain the weight loss? Calories in/calories out.
My experience with ozempic was the complete opposite of this. I had no nausea or illness but real food tasted like dirt and I couldn't stop eating junk food. I hadn't eaten junk food in 5 years prior to starting this drug. I gained 20kg in 6 months on ozempic and finally found the courage to just stop taking it despite being told that I need this medication and to keep increasing my dose. I'm now losing weight and feeling great with a clean keto diet. No junk food cravings anymore.
I am on Ozempic for diabetes. I lost 60 pounds, my cravings for sugary junk foods disappeared and I craved low carb foods and proteins, and felt great. No nausea, no constipation. I was off of it for about 2 years, for insurance authorization reasons, but now am back on it again and doing great. It’s a good drug for my diabetes.
@@Eris1701: wow! Yeah - cuz I’m scared now - hearing some horrible stories - and APPARENTLY: especially once a person STOPS taking it > heart attacks and strokes, etc…!! My doctor JUST STARTED me on it last week - first w/ a low dose > 0.25 - It does sound like Ozempic actually works quite well - I have been pre-diabetic for about 2.5 years - highs and lows …and my family genetics don’t help w/ my overweight, and I’m a female - age 51 - & so all the menopause & hormones are NOT helping me TRYING to lose weight either… & I eat slow and all & go hill walking for a good hour & more almost every day & swimming…. Help!
Wow this is so interesting as there are so many different response to our bodies being on ozempic. I was on it for a year for diabetes2 and on keto with v v low carb. I experienced 1 kg weight loss for the entire year which I gained back with a little more. There was absolutely no change with my blood sugar levels of 13+ daily morning fasting ( during the day my levels were between 3.5-6) . I went off it and tried my mom’s diabetic medication for a day, sugar was down to 8 the next morning!!! Now finally after lots of trial n error I am seeing some results on both weight and glucose drops in morning 5-6.5 🙌🏽🌈💜
If you think Dr. Jason Fung is okay with Ozempic, you missed his words in the end. He said something a long the line "there are other ways that activated the same receptors, GLP1" 😂 He did sneaky way to say "you dont need this drug."
Thanks again Dr. Fung. Your info is clear, direct and humorous. You sure don't want to eat blue cheese if you are tossing your cookies. LOL. You are a national treasure.
Most Americans today are overweight and won't admit it! If you talk about weight loss, they feel you are Fat Shaming! No! Some people do need extra help. With all the diabetes ,cancer, and heart disease, some people need help! I fast 18 to 22 hours a day with the IMF for 6 years. I do understand some people need more help.
Both disorders can be reversed by proper diet respectively, it is a weight loss drug just as it is also a diabetes drug. Unless youre a type 1 and need insulin replaced.
@@usernwn7qe I don't know... Insulin is just a hormone but look at what it can do. You may be right though, I'll research. I've actually read The Obesity Code and I'm all for the advice there and treating diseases with diet.
They put my husband on that fir T2D, and it made him violently sick. We threw it in the garbage! I myself an doing OMAD and ketovore and I'm feeling fantastic and loosing weight. Perfectly satiated.
Dr. Fung! Please address all the concerns in the comments!! This video comes across as if you support this drug as a good option for weight loss. No negative side effects are mentioned!!! My friend who recently finished chemo and radiation for breast cancer is taking ozempic now. How can that not be dangerous and detrimental for her weak immune system? We're confused with this video and it's unsettling, especially coming from you!!!😣
Never once did he say he supported this drug for weight loss. It’s simply a video with *information* on the pathway this drug takes that influences weight loss in some people.
@trixie9777 but he did not provide cautionary statements. There are other videos out there that warn against the use of it. Dr. Fung, being a great voice of reason and influence in the health community, in favor of natural means to heal the body, is silent. I would worry that some of his followers would mindlessly jump on the bandwagon and take this drug based on the info provided on this video.
This is disappointing that you haven’t mentioned that it’s a life long drug, when you come off your weight will skyrocket because you think you can eat crap, that it destroys the muscles, the heart being one and other side effects.
@@jodyfro1312it is true - people have been saying it repeatedly that when they go off the drug they instantly start regaining weight in an uncontrollable way because they didn’t learn healthier habits to lose the weight.
@@Vexarax I would guess the people regaining the weight did not make lifestyle changes. There are many people who have used the weight loss from the drug as a launch into a healthier lifestyle. Being 75-100 lbs lighter makes it so much easier to exercise. They are incentivized to eat better and keep up the results.
I have been on Ozempic for diabetes and it has not caused any weight loss. My weight loss from 340 to 300 prior to being put on Ozempic was through IF. I guess I am in that 11% that it has little to no effect on in regard to weight loss.
A close family member was taking Ozempic for her diabetes and she ended up with her colon paralyzed, severe blockage and an infection. She ended up being rushed in for surgery and is having a lengthy recovery time. I thought this video was a plug for Ozempic, but it’s not, thank goodness. Great explanation on how the medication does work when it’s working to decrease hunger and increase satiety and not a plug for Ozempic at all. There has been a website established for people who have claims associated with Ozempic so it seems there are many instances of health problems associated with the medication. I believe fasting is a far better method for weight loss than any drug and I’ve only come to that conclusion recently. It only makes sense that via the weight loss that can be achieved with fasting it can help prevent and possibly reverse diabetes. Ozempic, appears to have harmed far more people than it has helped in my opinion and shouldn’t be in the market.
I'm interested in seeing the research you have that backs up your opinion that the medication has harmed more people than it has helped. Would you mind sharing links so I can become more educated on it?
Was on Ozempic for 3 weeks made me feel awful . There's nothing it can do that will power can do better , if your hungry go for protein and the hunger will eventually go just keep carbs low and let the fasting come naturally 😊😊
Our Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said fast for 3 to 4 times in week it good for your health it is mention in hadith Books this information comes from 1400 years ago
Finally! An official video with you about Ozempic. Thanks Dr. Fung. Now do Mounjaro. :) I was in your beta testing fasting groups with Meghan back in the day. I was actually on ozempic for a year and didn't lose anything and actually started to gain weight. My doctor recently switched to Mounjaro and it seems to be working better for me. If you could also do a video about how these drugs affect those that are T2, that would be amazing. You saved my life all those years ago and I value your thoughts. Thank you!
I thought it was some miracle cocktail that melts body fat without you having to change any of your habits...turns out its just a cocktail that could also be replaced by duct tape over your mouth lol.
Yes, i guess so. that's why he didnt attack the Ozempic. Nor he said it was a good drug. He just said something along the line "there is other ways to activate the receptora GLP1". He sneakily say "you dont need this drug." 😂
I have no problem with intermittent fasting (18-6) and a low carb diet. My problem is late night snacking because I have a bad habit of going to bed very late. Around 12 midnight, I get the munchies or cravings and I end up snacking. The bad thing is that I’m not even hungry and just do it out of boredom and/or habit. On my last Dr’s visit, he suggested I take Ozempic to lose weight but I declined it. I don’t need meds to help me feel full. I do get full with my normal portions of food. It’s just the bad habit of late night snacking that ruins any effort I make to do my intermittent fasting effectively. I also need to be more active. As a borderline diabetic I need to get a grip and make some lifestyle changes soon. ☹️
Snacking at night is a hard habit to break but it can be done. I trained my body a little at a time beginning with no eating past 9pm and before sunrise. Years later I have no desire to eat at night. Absolutely none. Ghrelin waves are intense around 4-5 pm. But even fasted, by 6 pm ghrelin calms down and I'm good for the night.
I used to have the same eating at night problem. I never got ahead of it until we moved our large meal to 3 to 4 hours earlier in the day. This was not possible until I retired (my husband had already retired). I was willing to try this, but doubted it would work. I’m not that hungry at 2pm, but we eat the main meal of the day by 2pm on most days. The first few days I was still hungry late evening, but then 3 to 4 days in, the evening hunger DISAPPEARED. I was shocked. I seldom experience hunger or “munchies” now, and it’s great. I hated that feeling. I still mentally know what’s in the fridge or the pantry, but I have no desire to get up and eat. If your lifestyle permits eating your main meal much earlier, give it a try.
Thanks for sharing. You make a good point about that mental power. Most of us, especially those of us who follow Dr Fung and Meghan Ramos, know what to do and just a bit of honesty gets to the root of our problems. We all need to get a grip and be honest with the type of food, how much we eat and when we eat. Once we do this, then is about respecting ourselves and our decision to get healthy and stay healthy. I am saying this to myself😅 our minds are incredible, I am trying to make that mental switch myself.
I have this very problem, it's sooooo annoying. I eat very healthily and have zero cravings all day then night comes and I find myself marching in and out of the kitchen. It's totally due to a bad habit, I have zero hunger. I will train my brain to get used to the new " no food after 9 pm routine" . It will be an herbal tea or NOTHING.
Dr. Fung needs to do more research on this drug. Bad side effects and they say its life-long therapy, so if you don't modify your diet you gain back the weight. I'm surprised he's promoting it.
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two. Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death. People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods
Sir I have been on protein lowering drugs for six months as long as I take it the protein in the urine stays low as soon I stop taking it.the protein hoes black up used medicine deltacortril whose formula is prednisolone and there is another drugs called septran.an it formula is co- trimoxazole. Which i am also using.sir please tell me about such diet or medicine that can make the amount of protein in urine normal forever sir I neither have sugar nor blood pressure.please sir reply message. Thanks.
“Controlling hunger” in this way is like trying to wrestle a tiger for the rest of your life. That’s not gonna happen. How about you just eat very low carbohydrate (aka SUGAR), and keep your blood glucose levels low and steady. I don’t eat ANY carbohydrates, and I’ve lost over 105lbs in ten months eating around 3000-4000 “calories” every day. Beef, eggs, and beef tallow = natural weight loss for life, without feeling hungry, EVER!
Have patience and fast! 38 days fasting, lost almost 50 lb. Feel great! Yes, not easy, but there's no magic pill, just pure effort. I am done looking for easy solutions, because there's only one...DEATH! :) Stay Strong!
Call me a hillbilly, but why is it so hard to not overeat that you have to resort to taking drugs , I mean just cut back, it's not rocket science, just saying 👀
Dr. Fung, thank you for speaking out against the conventional grain in the medical community. I’m a nurse practitioner and I was wondering if you could explain the mechanism of muscle loss typically found in long term GLP-1 patients compared to patients who fast tend to have muscle sparing while still achieving lipolysis. Thank you again for all you do!
Nausea is the worst . I don’t want anything that can cause me nausea. But , My good friend had been obese her whole life (Always over a size 22 and up. ) Shes in her 50’s and started this medication. She’s lost it all and is a size 8-10 now. Although she says she lost a lot of muscle mass and is very saggy (beyond the stretched skin). She didn’t have the nausea though. Just not much of a desire to eat for the first time in her life. Idk though… it’s crazy expensive! I think I’ll try keto and fasting instead and hope to keep my muscle too.
Does Ozempic decrease appetite or just hunger. These are not the same. I have very little hunger, but much appetite! I eat the right foods but get cravings, not usually hunger pains.
Okay- QUESTION‼️ have I COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD this video..? he explains hie it work - and It sounds like Ozempic actually works quite well - because my doctor just put me on it - cuz I have been pre-diabetic for about 2 years - and my family genetics don’t help w/ my weight, and I am a female - age 51 - so all the menopause & hormones are NOT helping me TRYING to lose weight… & I eat slow and all & go hill walking for a good hour & more, almost every day & swimming
Yeah but fasting doesn’t help Big Pharma get rich. Maybe it’s time BIg Pharma releases a hit piece on fasting that the Main stream Media can run with. Oh, wait…
Dr Fung, could you please make a video explaining the interaction of natural sweetener (stevia, monk fruit etc.) and our insulin level post ingestion? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
6:18 This is what I like about Dr Fung: he gets that hunger is central to weight gain/loss, as in the long run hunger determined how much we eat, and thus drives how many calories we consume. It's all about how hungry we are relative to how many calories we actually need. That's why telling patients to count their calories, or to control their portion sizes, or anything like that, is always going to fail, because it leads to hunger. People, in the long run, eat until they are satiated, and that depends on all sorts of factors beyond the exact number of calories they have consumed. Two meals with the exact same calories can have vastly different abilities to curb your hunger.
Exactly, it's far more simpler and reliable to just fast for a specific amount of time. OMAD is a very good strategy as well as going on a water fast for 1-2 days.
Counting calories does work for me.... until it doesn't. It becomes very overwhelming and adds extra mental stress and ends up causing emotional distress because Counting calories constantly keeps food on my brain. I'm so tired of thinking of food all the time
I lost all my weight using fasting (went from an XL to an XS in 6 months) :) BUT a lot of people don’t count calories correctly. All you’re meant to do is eat an appropriate amount for your underlying body size, but you can do this by eating huge amounts of heathy foods that are low in calories in one or two meals each day. You don’t have to be hungry at all, but can still become slim and healthy. If you’re only eating one meal a day but overeating (like stuffing your face with chocolates and ice cream etc) you won’t lose weight. You still have to be aware of what you’re eating. I never counted calories personally, but also entirely changed my diet so I knew I was eating high volume foods lower in calories (like huge salads with steak and many different kinds of plants and vegetables in) :) Counting calories “doesn’t work” only because so many people do it wrong and eat like a tiny slice of pizza instead of a massive steak salad, both of which have the same amount of calories lol
Thanks Dr Fung! As soon as I heard delayed gastric emptying, vomiting came to mind because I vomiting when I can't adequately digest whatever I've eaten. Intermittent fasting and carnivore = no hunger pangs.😊
When you regain the weight after stopping Ozempic the weight that comes back is all fat - you don’t get the muscle you lost. You will be worse off. How many Americans are disciplined enough to exercise strenuously to preserve muscle?

Dr. Fung (@drjasonfung), i've always wanted to ask how is Ozempic (and similar) drugs any different, in the end result, than fasting? I asked myself this question, then saw your videos and I am now a regular faster. I've done multiple 3 day water fasts and have lost quite a bit of weight and have managed to keep it off.
Hi Dr.Jason fung.
I'm 28
Its been 1 year and I was diagnosed to have medulloblastoma..my treatment regimen for the same is over as of now i.e finished Surgery,chemo and radio Rx for the same.
Since it's a malignant tumor and it can recur at anytime and no advanced studies are there for adult medulloblastoma..can I do intermittent fasting?
What will be the benefits I gain?pls help
Do you recommend fasting while taking GLP1 medication?
@drjasonfung- the number one trending search on Google right now is that IF is causing a 91% increase in Heart Disease….
plz make a video about the current research of AHA which claims that IF can increase our risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases by 91%. is it true or not?
I am very pleased with my regime of intermittent fasting and keto and or low-carb lifestyle. I lost 27 kg in one year.
Congrats on your 27 kg WOW. Great job staying focused on healing your body.
Yes, these Rx weight loss drugs have a ton of major side effects including CANCER and DEATH. channel 60 min Australia has even done reports on this deadly rx drugs warning people not to take it.
Wow congrats
I lost 35 pounds doing ketovore last year and a little bit of fasting off and on and some cheating going on 😆
grats lost 20kg doing omad and intermittent fast.
Can you what you ate during Omad or intermittent fasting ? I’m unable to lose weight
2nd
Happy Valentine's Day Dr Jason fung
Thanks Dr Jason a lot. I love your detailed informative videos. Please keep the good work coming.
Do people ever gain or maintain on it? I have gastroparesis and I gain really easily, despite being bloated and nauseated all the time. Simple carbs are easiest for me to digest and so I just struggle with balance. And I'm not alone. Gastroparesis "gainers" are a lot more common than you'd think. And ozempic is basically just causing gastroparesis, yeah? So is there a subset of people who just don't lose on ozempic, or do they just dial up the dose until they CAN'T eat?
Thanks as always Jason ! Love your content !
So I'll spend my time barfing up my meals...hmmm I'll pass!! 😮
The drug trial was only about a year. Complications were thyroid cancer and other issues. Now people are having gall bladder issues and pancreatitis. What could go wrong with a drug that slows the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Count carbs not calories.
Every single one of those side effects is listed inside the box. People didn't think it could happen to them.We knew the risks before we used it. I am a Type ll Diabetic.I had nothing to lose and everything to gain by using this drug. Glad I did.
there is no evidence of thyroid cancer in humans as a result of using ozempic. only in a very small percentage of mice. gall bladder issues like gallstones can happen in any instance of rapid weight loss because of the process of metabolizing existing fat. not remotely unique to ozempic. you need to check your info better.
One of the side effects I experienced from the jab was loss of feeling 'full'. Ever. Basically full when body can't contain any more. Even with good discipline it's very difficult not to gain weight over time when permanently hungry. So.... on a similar treatment now. I'm extremely annoyed I'm taking a med with side effects to compensate for an experimental injection that was mandated on me. And the co$t......
No one mentions trulicity.that is what I use. Does it work the same and cause same side effects?
I’ll save my money and not risk any side affects. Fasting is the only way that has worked for me.
Thank you for posting this. Fasting is really the only real solution
When you are diabetic or pre diabetic nothing helps with weigh loss. Your hormone insulin has pooped out. Which is one reason someone like me doesn't pay for the drug. Second is my bmi which is 32 because even on keto for a year and eating once a day, I lost less than ten pounds. My insulin HORMONE isn't working.
Wouldn't matter what I try. That's science, it's on paper and my blood panels show I'm in amazing health and eating healthy EXCEPT my hormone pooped out. So it's not really fair to blanket what you blanketed.
You're very lucky to be able to fast and stay small. Careful because the HORMONE poops out for alot of women in middle age which is why we get fat.
Just saying.. Research more you will learn more.
This sounds like a tool to help you fast - if it makes you not feel hungry.
Eating lots of fat helps you fast.
I already fast, I already have gastroparesis and nausea and early satiety .. fasting is the best thing I've found..
but if I have sweets it all goes out the window and I'm starving and I want sugar all day
@@7__.-.__ I will try it, thanks 😊
Try green juicing. It has removed my sweet tooth food cravings.
Yeah, I'm sure it's another "safe and effective" miracle drug. 🤣😂😂🤣😂☠️
I was on Semiglutide for a few weeks. It showed me how much I have been eating because I was bored or out of habit. After it I eat more consciously. I'm simply aware of how I feel and what my cravings mean. It simply straighten up my relationship with food. Loosing weight was just a side effect of it
Are you still on it?
Beautiful. Happy for you
maybe we should not mess with our bodies this way
I'm going on 62 years old and diabetic and I've a weight problem.....my doctor prescribed me ,ozempic after 2 months of injection i almost died of a heart attack my doctor unprescribe it ....for the 2 months everything that i ate tasted like rotten eggs...5'3"and weighted 220 lbs since my heart attack i change my eating habits i don't eat meats now i weight 170 lbs still got a little way to go but the weight is staying off ... I'm writing this so for people to be aware and those who is taking this just to lose weight there's is a danger.... hope this help someone....stay safe God bless

Thank you dr. Fung. I don't need drugs because I follow your advice. IF, longer fasting, low carb, HIIT and resistance training.
yes
IF free and it is proven methods for weight loss to many Dr Jason Fung fans like us 😀
Exactly! He has changed my life, lost weight following his advice intermittent fasting.
Can’t wait for follow up on alternatives and ways to regulate the hormone imbalance better
Grab his book The Obesity Code! It explains it all! 👍
I noticed that my toe nails was dark so I went to my doctor's office for some blood work and my A1C was 5.7 that is border line type two diabetes. At the time all I ate was pizza, garlic bread, french fries and burritos. I changed my deit immediately all I aet was chicken, turkey and red snapper fish. I also got some over the counter medicine from Walgreens called doctor Stephanie's (blood suger 24 hours and carb and sugar blocker) weight loss program. I went back to my doctor's office after four months and my blood sugar levels was 91 my A1C was 5.1 I did not have deibetes. My doctor told me I can eat some wild rice and RYE bread if I want so I added those two to my new deit. This is my success story.
Smoking was one hell of a addiction to get rid of !
Never even start it !
Sixty minutes Australia has posted several youtube stories about fatal side effects caused by the GLP-1 meds. I could never use it as I had pancreatitis about twenty years ago.
smart choice
I just saw it. Kinda scary and sad to those who passed.
Thank you Dr Fung for sharing this information. Ozempic may not be for everyone, but it certainly has helped many lose weight and improve their health.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 it'll help them become bankrupt and put them six feet under in a few years. BANK ON IT!
Thank you for explaining this Dr. Fung! I'm so thankful this was not an option for me when I needed to lose weight. I'm thankful I found your videos, books and lectures to teach me how to control my hunger and lose 160 lbs by eating healthy keto and learning how to fast. ❤️
I'm 60 and three years ago I weighed almost 300 lbs and was a metabolic mess. Now, I'm maintaining great and loving my fasting lifestyle. It's reversed ALL my health issues and I'm medication free 😃.
Thank you for all you do for us 😊🙏
Good job Jessica 🎉🎉🎉
@@olgatatarinov2798 Thank you! Be well 😊🙏
I have been on Wegovy for 2 months. I have had none of the negative side effects and it has also drastically helped my anxiety and depression. I have no more cravings for junk food, and I find myself reaching for whole foods more naturally. It is an absolute game changer in my own personal experience.

Jason, So on Friday they American Heart Association said there was a 91% increase in risk of death from Intermittent fasting.. please find this study and get us the facts. Are they lying with statistics?? This is a serious issue as I have type 2 and I guess very high LDL. Can you please comment and make a video
The weight that u lose is overwhelmingly muscle, a terrible way 2 lose weight
that’s terrible
Ozempic 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Jeez, why do Ozempic when bulimia is free?
I'm confused... I started video expecting you to explain all the problems we keep hearing about it, especially gut problems, and hear your warnings to not use it.. but that was all missing! it actually sounded like you endorse this drug????? is that true?
Maybe what you are hearing is bogus. Maybe Dr. Fung is giving real information that nobody here wants to hear. It works. It is effective. And it is life changing/life saving for many.
Could you please do one on monjaro please.😊
Dr. Fung explains this so well. He has the gift of clarity.
So what the video is saying is Ozempic is a good thing? My understanding was that it wasn't. I've read that a significant amount of the lost weight was muscle, not only fat, which in my mind would reduce your basal metabolic rate and therefore you'd gain the weight back if you stopped? My understanding from the obesity code was that caloric restriction was not the key, but eating window was the key, because simple caloric restriction reduces your metabolism, where a reduced eating window would not. How does Ozempic affect the metabolism? Would you really recommend it over simple intermittent fasting?
I find the messaging in this video confusing.
I absolutely agree with you. People are going to be in search of this because they want to lose weight forgetting that it's not weight that matters it's body fat percentage. And so in the search of what people consider health and then taking this drug... All we're doing is hooking ourselves on one more prescription for now and a whole bunch later when our bone density starts to suffer and when falling down and breaking a hip kills us.
@@Lorij24 Yeah. I'm quite frustrated with this. My mother just got prescribed Ozempic from her doctor. She's 75, has osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and is overweight. The last thing she needs is to lose more muscle and bone density.
He didnt say, he recommended this drug. He said in the last minute of the video "there are also many ways that activate the same receptors, the GLP.1"
He definitely means. "You dont need this drug".
y’all, muscle loss happens during all forms of rapid weight loss. ozempic has no mechanism to uniquely cause extra loss of muscle mass. people lose weight on ozempic because they intake less food due to decreased appetite and therefore burn through stored fat. the exact same process that happens during a calorie deficit. seriously, try educating yourself.
@@linedpaper5374 I absolutely agree with you, but the problem is that we've been fed this idea of weight loss and body weights for a very very long time. So when people simply go in search of a calorie deficit or weight loss, there is inherently a loss of bone density and muscle mass because we're not prioritizing resistance training or consumption of protein at the same time. This is yet another drug that is pushing this concept of just losing weight as an ideal standard to work toward. I think that the damage is in the intentional ignorance.
I lost 70lbs in 6 months last year, no loose skin, using fasting and high intensity interval training (following Chloe Tings free TH-cam challenges). I’ve maintained effortlessly for 7 months now, using OMAD and trying to not eat too many processed carbs and refined sugars.
Not sure what Mr Fung is going to say about ozempic as just started the video, but it’s extremely expensive and you have to stay on it forever or else you’ll gain the weight back. People who go on it for weight loss are also reporting a huge range of horrific side effects including their g3nitals peeling and worse 😱
On top of that, many have reported very little weight loss.
It’s NOT WORTH IT when you can do it naturally and experience lasting health and vitality as a result 💚
What fasting method did you use?
@@femme7097one meal a day. OMAD
@@femme7097I mostly used OMAD but did some ADF and 72s depending on how I was feeling ^_^ I always focussed on my health and nutrition so only fasted as long as I was still feeling strong enough for the HIIT and walking :) I built some muscle during this time using mostly only my own body weight and became a lot stronger and more agile over the course of the 6 months which indicates I was eating enough during my eating windows even during longer fasts 🙏🏻 (some people do it incorrectly and just waste away while reporting a lot of weakness etc, but daily HIIT seemed to be like a “magic key” for me) :)
@@femme7097 omad is just one meal a day. And try to make it a healthy one with healthy fats, protein, good carbs and magnesium. I too lost 50 lbs in just a few months and a total of 80 lbs in a years time. Fasting, working out and good rest is the absolute best thing for your body.
Peeling??? 😮
Doesn’t it also increase your risk of thyroid cancers, chronic nausea and pancreatitis?
Doesn’t seem worth it.

What the hell ?!
Anyone who goes down the rabbit hole with ozempic quickly finds out how horrible it is!
I was on Ozempic for 9 months and it was awful. I had terrible side effects and was in constant pain, although I did lose 35 pounds. It wasn’t worth it at all. Now I fast and eat whole foods and have had much better results, without any pain.
Ozempic made me extremely ill. GI distress, nausea, vertigo. Lost very little weight despite eating about 1000 cal a day. Couldn't digest vegetables or protein, which also made me sick to my stomach. Numerous side effects. Never again.
I went on a boat cruise when I was on Ozempic. Extreme seasickness damn near killed me.
@@andoletube yikes I can't even imagine. Just walking down the street was too much some days.
I just wanna say thank you Mr. Fung. My weight dropped from 100kg to 86kg in 2 months. I am wearing CGM and confirmed every bit of your words. In Hong Kong, lots of people keep wondering why "some people no matter how much they eat , they keep a good body shape and some gaining lots of weight by just drinking water", I think you have solved this myth - IR.
He’s not endorsing it. He’s saying it controls hunger. You can also control hunger by doing intermittent fasting. Which by the way is FREE.
Thank you for all your efforts.... 70lbs lost in 6 months - swimming everyday riding horses again, sleeping at night and excitedly anticipating first grandbaby later this year. 🎉🎉🎉 Feeling like I have a key to stay at a healthy weight for life. fingers crossed 🤞
Isn't the weight loss still due to calorie deficit? If the affect of the drug causes all of these side affects: you are nausaeous, vomiting, eating less snacks, eating healthy food choices, exercising.....doesn't that explain the weight loss? Calories in/calories out.
yes
Never, I think the Carnivore way of eating builds my MICROBIOME. I dont want anything synthetic in me!
Nothing synthetic! No painkillers, no vitamins, no cosmetics, no toothpaste, no pasaran!
I love the natural appetite suppression I get from eating a carnivore diet. It makes it easy to do intermittent fasting as well. No cravings either. ❤

My experience with ozempic was the complete opposite of this. I had no nausea or illness but real food tasted like dirt and I couldn't stop eating junk food. I hadn't eaten junk food in 5 years prior to starting this drug. I gained 20kg in 6 months on ozempic and finally found the courage to just stop taking it despite being told that I need this medication and to keep increasing my dose. I'm now losing weight and feeling great with a clean keto diet. No junk food cravings anymore.
I had a very similar experience. I lost an appetite so all I would eat is total crap. Lol
I am on Ozempic for diabetes. I lost 60 pounds, my cravings for sugary junk foods disappeared and I craved low carb foods and proteins, and felt great. No nausea, no constipation. I was off of it for about 2 years, for insurance authorization reasons, but now am back on it again and doing great. It’s a good drug for my diabetes.
Wow
@@Eris1701: wow! Yeah - cuz I’m scared now - hearing some horrible stories - and APPARENTLY: especially once a person STOPS taking it > heart attacks and strokes, etc…!! My doctor JUST STARTED me on it last week - first w/ a low dose > 0.25 - It does sound like Ozempic actually works quite well - I have been pre-diabetic for about 2.5 years - highs and lows …and my family genetics don’t help w/ my overweight, and I’m a female - age 51 - & so all the menopause & hormones are NOT helping me TRYING to lose weight either… & I eat slow and all & go hill walking for a good hour & more almost every day & swimming…. Help!
Wow this is so interesting as there are so many different response to our bodies being on ozempic. I was on it for a year for diabetes2 and on keto with v v low carb. I experienced 1 kg weight loss for the entire year which I gained back with a little more. There was absolutely no change with my blood sugar levels of 13+ daily morning fasting ( during the day my levels were between 3.5-6) . I went off it and tried my mom’s diabetic medication for a day, sugar was down to 8 the next morning!!! Now finally after lots of trial n error I am seeing some results on both weight and glucose drops in morning 5-6.5 🙌🏽🌈💜
If you think Dr. Jason Fung is okay with Ozempic, you missed his words in the end. He said something a long the line "there are other ways that activated the same receptors, GLP1" 😂
He did sneaky way to say "you dont need this drug."
On another video he said he was fine with Ozempic I have to say I was very disappointed
Thanks again Dr. Fung. Your info is clear, direct and humorous. You sure don't want to eat blue cheese if you are tossing your cookies. LOL. You are a national treasure.
Most Americans today are overweight and won't admit it! If you talk about weight loss, they feel you are Fat Shaming! No! Some people do need extra help. With all the diabetes ,cancer, and heart disease, some people need help! I fast 18 to 22 hours a day with the IMF for 6 years. I do understand some people need more help.
YOU FAILED IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO TO SAY OZEMPIC IS A DIABETES DRUG, NOT A WEIGHTLOSS DRUG.
Both disorders can be reversed by proper diet respectively, it is a weight loss drug just as it is also a diabetes drug. Unless youre a type 1 and need insulin replaced.
I think Prof. Robert Lustig was warning about Ozempic that it could cause permanent gastroparesis.
That's great! More doctor visits and life time support that would bring thousands of dollars from each patient.
Yeah for a tiny tiny minority it may but since it is a hormone it´s most likely extremely safe.
Yes. I am not sure why this channel (being paid?????) is discussing (promoting) a super profitable bad drug as a solution? I will unsubscribe 😮
@@usernwn7qe I don't know... Insulin is just a hormone but look at what it can do. You may be right though, I'll research. I've actually read The Obesity Code and I'm all for the advice there and treating diseases with diet.
I heard news the death of one lady due to taking this drug
Started Ozempic this week and I have had 0 appetite, I have to make myself eat meals.
Dr, are there no adverse effects?
The video feels more like a promotion. Hoping this is not the case
They put my husband on that fir T2D, and it made him violently sick. We threw it in the garbage! I myself an doing OMAD and ketovore and I'm feeling fantastic and loosing weight. Perfectly satiated.
Jason - Gila is pronounced heela
it is a native American word for the animal and a river in New Mexico.
Fasting is the way to go , loss 65 lb . After a while I just stop over eating and made better choices.
Basically the side effect is being sick and not hungry
Basically Ozempic is just a chemical form of fasting.
People want their cake and drugs so they can eat it..
I’ll find something other than Ozempic to make me hurl cookies and ward off hunger pains. 😡 Unsubscribing.
Give me a break. He's not promoting Ozempic. He's just talking about it because it is a hot topic right now. Relax
Differing opinions are so frustrating, aren’t they?
Thank you, Doctor, for the wonderful effort
Dr. Fung! Please address all the concerns in the comments!! This video comes across as if you support this drug as a good option for weight loss. No negative side effects are mentioned!!! My friend who recently finished chemo and radiation for breast cancer is taking ozempic now. How can that not be dangerous and detrimental for her weak immune system? We're confused with this video and it's unsettling, especially coming from you!!!😣
Never once did he say he supported this drug for weight loss. It’s simply a video with *information* on the pathway this drug takes that influences weight loss in some people.
@trixie9777 but he did not provide cautionary statements. There are other videos out there that warn against the use of it. Dr. Fung, being a great voice of reason and influence in the health community, in favor of natural means to heal the body, is silent. I would worry that some of his followers would mindlessly jump on the bandwagon and take this drug based on the info provided on this video.
This is disappointing that you haven’t mentioned that it’s a life long drug, when you come off your weight will skyrocket because you think you can eat crap, that it destroys the muscles, the heart being one and other side effects.
He prob didn’t say it because it isn’t true.
@@jodyfro1312it is true - people have been saying it repeatedly that when they go off the drug they instantly start regaining weight in an uncontrollable way because they didn’t learn healthier habits to lose the weight.
@@jodyfro1312 I’ve heard several doctors reporting on it. Go look deeper and see for yourself. Also seen it through friends.
@@Vexarax I would guess the people regaining the weight did not make lifestyle changes. There are many people who have used the weight loss from the drug as a launch into a healthier lifestyle. Being 75-100 lbs lighter makes it so much easier to exercise. They are incentivized to eat better and keep up the results.
@@jodyfro1312well said 👍🏼
It also kills people.
😅 starting to think jason is a shill now..
He is just explaining mechanism of how it works . I don’t think he’s advocating vomiting.
I have been on Ozempic for diabetes and it has not caused any weight loss. My weight loss from 340 to 300 prior to being put on Ozempic was through IF. I guess I am in that 11% that it has little to no effect on in regard to weight loss.
A close family member was taking Ozempic for her diabetes and she ended up with her colon paralyzed, severe blockage and an infection. She ended up being rushed in for surgery and is having a lengthy recovery time. I thought this video was a plug for Ozempic, but it’s not, thank goodness. Great explanation on how the medication does work when it’s working to decrease hunger and increase satiety and not a plug for Ozempic at all. There has been a website established for people who have claims associated with Ozempic so it seems there are many instances of health problems associated with the medication. I believe fasting is a far better method for weight loss than any drug and I’ve only come to that conclusion recently. It only makes sense that via the weight loss that can be achieved with fasting it can help prevent and possibly reverse diabetes. Ozempic, appears to have harmed far more people than it has helped in my opinion and shouldn’t be in the market.
I'm interested in seeing the research you have that backs up your opinion that the medication has harmed more people than it has helped. Would you mind sharing links so I can become more educated on it?
Doesn’t this drug increase insulin secretion? Could this have a detrimental effect to a diabetic?
Was on Ozempic for 3 weeks made me feel awful . There's nothing it can do that will power can do better , if your hungry go for protein and the hunger will eventually go just keep carbs low and let the fasting come naturally 😊😊
Our Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said fast for 3 to 4 times in week it good for your health it is mention in hadith Books this information comes from 1400 years ago
Muslims eat more during Ramadan than any other month
Are there issues when food sticks in your stomach? Seems like that is unhealthy?
Finally! An official video with you about Ozempic. Thanks Dr. Fung. Now do Mounjaro. :) I was in your beta testing fasting groups with Meghan back in the day. I was actually on ozempic for a year and didn't lose anything and actually started to gain weight. My doctor recently switched to Mounjaro and it seems to be working better for me. If you could also do a video about how these drugs affect those that are T2, that would be amazing. You saved my life all those years ago and I value your thoughts. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this!!😀l love Dr.Fung. It is cool that you were part of his first group of test subjects
So are you recommending Ozempic? I'm confused
I think not. Fasting also suppresses hunger. Get the benefits of the drug without taking the drug or the side effects.
No. He's explaining why it works for some people who couldn't improve their health with cutting carbs and fasting.
I thought it was some miracle cocktail that melts body fat without you having to change any of your habits...turns out its just a cocktail that could also be replaced by duct tape over your mouth lol.
thing is, who overeats out of hunger??? very few people, it is mostly anxiety, stress, depression..
Jason, get some Oakley's please -then you'll never need to keep adjusting your glasses 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The lawyers are already all over Ozempic.
What do you mean?
@Aaronstotle I mean the usual commercials. "If you have taken Ozempic".
There are no long term studies on it. People taking it are the study population. Check out Dr Berry.
Yes, i guess so. that's why he didnt attack the Ozempic. Nor he said it was a good drug. He just said something along the line "there is other ways to activate the receptora GLP1".
He sneakily say "you dont need this drug." 😂
I have no problem with intermittent fasting (18-6) and a low carb diet. My problem is late night snacking because I have a bad habit of going to bed very late. Around 12 midnight, I get the munchies or cravings and I end up snacking. The bad thing is that I’m not even hungry and just do it out of boredom and/or habit.
On my last Dr’s visit, he suggested I take Ozempic to lose weight but I declined it. I don’t need meds to help me feel full. I do get full with my normal portions of food. It’s just the bad habit of late night snacking that ruins any effort I make to do my intermittent fasting effectively. I also need to be more active. As a borderline diabetic I need to get a grip and make some lifestyle changes soon. ☹️
Snacking at night is a hard habit to break but it can be done. I trained my body a little at a time beginning with no eating past 9pm and before sunrise. Years later I have no desire to eat at night. Absolutely none. Ghrelin waves are intense around 4-5 pm. But even fasted, by 6 pm ghrelin calms down and I'm good for the night.
I also have the same issue of munching at night because it foxnuts, almonds or now chocolates. And weight isn’t reducing at all
I used to have the same eating at night problem. I never got ahead of it until we moved our large meal to 3 to 4 hours earlier in the day. This was not possible until I retired (my husband had already retired). I was willing to try this, but doubted it would work. I’m not that hungry at 2pm, but we eat the main meal of the day by 2pm on most days. The first few days I was still hungry late evening, but then 3 to 4 days in, the evening hunger DISAPPEARED. I was shocked. I seldom experience hunger or “munchies” now, and it’s great. I hated that feeling. I still mentally know what’s in the fridge or the pantry, but I have no desire to get up and eat. If your lifestyle permits eating your main meal much earlier, give it a try.
Thanks for sharing. You make a good point about that mental power. Most of us, especially those of us who follow Dr Fung and Meghan Ramos, know what to do and just a bit of honesty gets to the root of our problems. We all need to get a grip and be honest with the type of food, how much we eat and when we eat. Once we do this, then is about respecting ourselves and our decision to get healthy and stay healthy. I am saying this to myself😅 our minds are incredible, I am trying to make that mental switch myself.
I have this very problem, it's sooooo annoying. I eat very healthily and have zero cravings all day then night comes and I find myself marching in and out of the kitchen. It's totally due to a bad habit, I have zero hunger.
I will train my brain to get used to the new " no food after 9 pm routine" . It will be an herbal tea or NOTHING.
Dr. Fung needs to do more research on this drug. Bad side effects and they say its life-long therapy, so if you don't modify your diet you gain back the weight. I'm surprised he's promoting it.
So you are more educated and informed than Dr. Fung? 🤓

Next question .. can a person be on extended fast on Ozempic or will it concentrate and kill the liver?
When has a pricey pharma product NOT had serious side effects??
It’s a peptide, not a drug. It’s not metabolized in the liver or kidneys. So you should be okay.
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two.
Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death.
People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences.
There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese.

Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks.

“Controlling hunger” in this way is like trying to wrestle a tiger for the rest of your life. That’s not gonna happen.
How about you just eat very low carbohydrate (aka SUGAR), and keep your blood glucose levels low and steady.
I don’t eat ANY carbohydrates, and I’ve lost over 105lbs in ten months eating around 3000-4000 “calories” every day.
Beef, eggs, and beef tallow = natural weight loss for life, without feeling hungry, EVER!
Have patience and fast! 38 days fasting, lost almost 50 lb. Feel great! Yes, not easy, but there's no magic pill, just pure effort. I am done looking for easy solutions, because there's only one...DEATH! :) Stay Strong!
Call it what it is. Intermittent fasting. You have not fasted for 38 days, or have you?
Call me a hillbilly, but why is it so hard to not overeat that you have to resort to taking drugs , I mean just cut back, it's not rocket science, just saying 👀
You are a hillbilly. It is NOT calories in, calories out. That is antiquated and uneducated information.
Too few people have the discipline of self-control now, being surrounded by engineered, empty, tasty, cheap "foods."
Dr. Fung, thank you for speaking out against the conventional grain in the medical community. I’m a nurse practitioner and I was wondering if you could explain the mechanism of muscle loss typically found in long term GLP-1 patients compared to patients who fast tend to have muscle sparing while still achieving lipolysis. Thank you again for all you do!
Thank you for the analysis. It is always interesting to learn more about other medical tools to reduce weight.
Nausea is the worst . I don’t want anything that can cause me nausea. But , My good friend had been obese her whole life (Always over a size 22 and up. ) Shes in her 50’s and started this medication. She’s lost it all and is a size 8-10 now. Although she says she lost a lot of muscle mass and is very saggy (beyond the stretched skin). She didn’t have the nausea though. Just not much of a desire to eat for the first time in her life. Idk though… it’s crazy expensive! I think I’ll try keto and fasting instead and hope to keep my muscle too.
Does Ozempic decrease appetite or just hunger. These are not the same. I have very little hunger, but much appetite! I eat the right foods but get cravings, not usually hunger pains.
Okay- QUESTION‼️ have I COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD this video..? he explains hie it work - and It sounds like Ozempic actually works quite well - because my doctor just put me on it - cuz I have been pre-diabetic for about 2 years - and my family genetics don’t help w/ my weight, and I am a female - age 51 - so all the menopause & hormones are NOT helping me TRYING to lose weight… & I eat slow and all & go hill walking for a good hour & more, almost every day & swimming
No, no....Ozempic is not for me......if I want to loose weight, I will do fasting
Try it, it is great. 😊
Yeah but fasting doesn’t help Big Pharma get rich. Maybe it’s time BIg Pharma releases a hit piece on fasting that the Main stream Media can run with. Oh, wait…
@@crowmanpryour not leaning how to eat and probably gain your weight back not to mention possibly side effects isn’t natural
89 % is ALOT , !!
Exactly!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Dr Fung, could you please make a video explaining the interaction of natural sweetener (stevia, monk fruit etc.) and our insulin level post ingestion? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Easy, its the same as sugar just worse.
Thank you for making this video. I’ve seen several videos on this topic, and this one was the most informative!
6:18 This is what I like about Dr Fung: he gets that hunger is central to weight gain/loss, as in the long run hunger determined how much we eat, and thus drives how many calories we consume. It's all about how hungry we are relative to how many calories we actually need.
That's why telling patients to count their calories, or to control their portion sizes, or anything like that, is always going to fail, because it leads to hunger. People, in the long run, eat until they are satiated, and that depends on all sorts of factors beyond the exact number of calories they have consumed. Two meals with the exact same calories can have vastly different abilities to curb your hunger.
Exactly, it's far more simpler and reliable to just fast for a specific amount of time.
OMAD is a very good strategy as well as going on a water fast for 1-2 days.
too bad the drug actually is riddled with adverse effects that destroy your health once you reach your consumption goals.
About calories.....

Counting calories does work for me.... until it doesn't. It becomes very overwhelming and adds extra mental stress and ends up causing emotional distress because Counting calories constantly keeps food on my brain. I'm so tired of thinking of food all the time
I lost all my weight using fasting (went from an XL to an XS in 6 months) :) BUT a lot of people don’t count calories correctly. All you’re meant to do is eat an appropriate amount for your underlying body size, but you can do this by eating huge amounts of heathy foods that are low in calories in one or two meals each day. You don’t have to be hungry at all, but can still become slim and healthy.
If you’re only eating one meal a day but overeating (like stuffing your face with chocolates and ice cream etc) you won’t lose weight. You still have to be aware of what you’re eating.
I never counted calories personally, but also entirely changed my diet so I knew I was eating high volume foods lower in calories (like huge salads with steak and many different kinds of plants and vegetables in) :)
Counting calories “doesn’t work” only because so many people do it wrong and eat like a tiny slice of pizza instead of a massive steak salad, both of which have the same amount of calories lol
Ozempic works by reducing your overall calorie intake.
I wonder if this guy believes his own spiel.
Incredible Doctor! A Real Doctor, Not A Technician With A 'Doctor' Title.
I don't eat because I'm hungry. I eat because I'm super stressed. I can meditate or go for walks, but I'll still come back and eat again.
Same …. I can be stuffed & still want to eat b-c of feeling stressed.
Thanks Dr Fung! As soon as I heard delayed gastric emptying, vomiting came to mind because I vomiting when I can't adequately digest whatever I've eaten. Intermittent fasting and carnivore = no hunger pangs.😊
So maybe Nicotine patches would work as well as Ozempic? ... I am a carb addict I can not control my eating...
When you regain the weight after stopping Ozempic the weight that comes back is all fat - you don’t get the muscle you lost. You will be worse off. How many Americans are disciplined enough to exercise strenuously to preserve muscle?
