Hi Dr. Fung. I have a question, do taking beta blockers like metoprolol affect your losing weight? Or interfere with your weight loss in anyway? And do it affect your blood sugar levels?
Just an FYI to your team, my automatic pmt to your membership was denied and flagged by my credit card company... again...as suspicious, fraudulent etc. 🙄😞This is the second time it's happened and I even switched to my debit card and it was denied again. Seems to be Google services that's the problem? Anyway sorry I can't renew right now but I would like to. I just wanted to let you know in case someone is messing about with your memberships. Let me know if there's anything else I can do as I would like to continue to support your channel. Thanks for all you do

I have lost 17 pounds since following your advice 3 months ago!! Fasting is such an effective way to lose weight and gain energy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Fung!
Finally a doctor who knows the reason why and approves of a very late breakfast! I’m never hungry in the morning and am so, so tired of hearing…breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Everyone gives me such a hard time about not wanting anything until 11 or 12. Now I’m armed with Dr. Fung’s explanation and I can tell them all that it’s my hormones. And I will!!
I am in my 70s and observed how farm families ate in my childhood. The men got up early to go to the barn, feed the animals, and milk the cows. They usually had a cup of hot tea or coffee before this, and returned when all was done to have a solid breakfast of eggs, meat, porridge, and toast. The mid-day meal was also heavy and the evening meal was light, often cold.
Last year I was diagnosed with an A1C of 12.2 when I had my DOT physical. This year at my physical the doctor was puzzled because I'm no longer diabetic. Thank you Dr. Fung
I'm finding it easy to fast for 18 hours - eat dinner at 6 p.m. and delay eating until the next day at noon. This video gives the technical basis of why that works so well.
I stopped eating around 12 pm or 1 and eat the next morning around 7am. A salad with sound turkey sprinkled inside with black bean dip. Maybe a few black berries also and pure wheat that with spinkles of cinnamon ONLY NO SUGAR AT ALL!!!!!
when I started Keto last July 2021 I went OMAD almost immediately. I believe I was halfway into Keto without knowing it anyway. I found it very easy to do. I also didn't suffer the "Keto Flu" symptoms. By April I had lost 40 lbs and that wasn't my goal. I just wanted to eat healthily and lose a few pounds from 205 to say 190 crazy how the weight just flew off. I now maintain 170-175. An Inbody scan showed me 12% body fat and a level 4 visceral fat. Doc said that was an amazingly low VF #. I wish I had done the scan prior to the change. I am now a Ketovore and love eating more meat. Feel good and have plenty of energy. I am a carpenter 60 yrs old and I'm the guy installing the plywood on the roof LOL. Jason, you are one of the few doc's online I watch and learn from thanks
the "keto flu" is just your body not being adjusted to using ketones yet. if you do OMAD, you should easily protect yourself from the flu part, as your body is doing small shifts to ketones everyday. keto flu gets REALLY bad if you are hitting the carbs a lot, and then try to fast for days at a time while your body is still full of glycogen/glucose. if you let your body adjust slowly, the keto flu will never come.
@@gloriasaliba3395 whole natural foods. i cut out all refined foods like the book says. at the beginning of my weight loss journey, i did 72hr fasts, and one meal a day. did that for two weeks straight and the results were amazing. on my fast days i only consumed water and coffee( black). these methods work. just depends how bad you want it. i was sick and tired of being sick and tired. i cut out all the sweets and pastries that comforted me when im feeling down and started to cook instead of going out and looking for quick and cheap food. good luck
Thank you doctor. I'm only 44 and I found out that my fasting blood sugar was 114 about 3 weeks ago during routine body check. I am following 18:6 intermittent fasting schedule and cut rice and noodle completely. I still get some carbs from an apple I eat every day and from veggies. Occasionally, I still eat 1 tablespoon rice alone with the meal here and there. 3 week later, my fasting blood sugar is 98 and I'm so glad that I saw your videos. Also, I lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks. My goal is to loss 30 more pounds and get my health back.
If you don’t have time in the morning try preparing boiled eggs the night before and put them in the fridge in a container. Then just grab the container on your way out the door,you can eat the eggs whenever you feel hungry.
Yes! For variety, I also make flat omelettes then roll/fold them. Easy to eat while driving or at desk. 😅 Can add some ground meat, cheese. For variety, season italian/mexican/caribbean/north african/etc. Easy to bake eggs in sheet pan - scramble, season, pop into oven .
I went from 297 lbs to 210 lbs in under 5 months eating once a day. I started with a 36 hour fast per Dr Fung. I ate one can of black refried beans and a can of green beans. Switched out the black beans with a can of clam chowder every other week. I kept 1/4” slices of Italian roast beef in the fridge for a snak if I was to get hungry. I paddled a touring kayak every weekend and a couple of times during the week. I tried riding my mountain bike which I love doing but it made me very hungry so I stopped. The kayak I found simple effortless and really burned cals and gave me rapid core strength. It’s the way to go. I’m 61 and feel great but not 28 !! Lol
@@pilarhaas5161 Sorry for late reply but for two reasons. Was quick and easy, good cold straight from the can. Mostly because calories are labeled. I wanted that precise knowledge of intake vs loss !
About 1 year ago I changed my breakfast to…small salad with avocado, tomato, dark greens, carrot, cucumber and some olive oil and apple cider vinegar + a small bowl of plain yogurt with berries + coffee and a bit of cream. Next meal is dinner. Feels great.
Fresh blueberries about 80 grams are great with a bowl of organic porridge oats no need for added sugar. Although oats obviously a carbohydrate but a whole food at least. Or a low carb alternative might be organic plain yoghurt with fresh blueberries. Tastes yummy and a pleasant breakfast especially in summer.
Don't you just love Dr. Fung? A Dr. who doesn't talk down their nose to you, and explains in simple but not condescending language using logic, science, real life examples, and a genuine concern for a person's health. #1 makes me wonder why the advice for folks with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has always been to eat within an hour of rising. Sometimes that seems to make me feel better but others not so much. I have coffee with MCT, then eat mainly protein (no sugar) and I still get an energy slump in the mid morning. Wonder what that's about. Anyone have ideas or want to share similar experiences?
Dr. Sten Ekberg explained what you’re likely hitting in a clear way in one of his youTube videos with a clear bit of explanation combined with graphics (he’s good at that). There are 9 essential amino acids we need in a proper ratio to make the complete proteins we need for our bodies. There are 2 things that happen in digestion with the combination of whatever we get for that intake: 1. We end up with replenishing the required amino acids, making complete proteins where we have full sets of the amino acids to build our proteins we need. 2. Where we intake amino acids that can’t be combined to make full proteins we need, they are burned for energy or stored as fats via the same way we work with other macronutrients: our body doesn’t store them for later use in their original forms. So, too, extra complete proteins end up as fuel, and those must be dealt with. It doesn’t pay to eat too much protein. Dr. Benjamin Bikman (also has a book “Why We Get Sick”) covers insulin, etc. in great detail and points out an interesting thing regarding proteins: in the presence of fats, (at least enough fats, I expect) incomplete proteins won’t cause the same insulin response. But, as soon as you add carbs to those proteins, the insulin response is multiplied by the dosage of carbs. Thus, if that is perfectly correct in all cases (our bodies tend to do things on a spectrum…) if you had no carbs in your system, you’d not have that energy slump just eating protein and fat combined (and you should always have protein with fat) even if it’s not as complete of proteins for the amino acid balance. I’ve experienced this with varying what and how much I use as condiments on large hamburgers: I can eat a huge amount, but if I add too much of carbs in the form of condiments, it pushes me into a very low-energy state, as I’m reactive hypoglycemic and that’s something that causes me problems.
Look into what they are finding out about how people recover from long covid and apply to any other virus that has hit you. for me the ones that stand out are mononucleosis at 40, and before that epstein barr at 4 that gave me rotten tonsils and monthly high fevers for over a year I lost lot of weight . I had a tonsilectomy and it took a while to recover my weight and strength. Now I have no energy whatsoever. I might be able to stand by the stove to cook a fast breakfast but feel shaky until i lie down. Of course in the course of a lifetime many viruses hit you and the body has to overcome them. It seems I have a low energy foggy minded response to this. I used to overeat when tired and now know my low energy does not have to do with that. On the contrary when I eat many times I feel worse.
The MCT oil is breaking your fast! Wait until your eating window opens then put it in another cup of coffee. I did the same thing, read Gin Stephens book, stopped my MCT first thing in morning, and started losing weight. Good luck
I'm quite concerned about anyone explaining things "laypeople-accessible" way if they're not explaining things that perfectly align scientific consensus. It's the classic fraudster tactic. If he can't convince doctors of his field with the logic presented here, why do you think he's here targeting you? I have no particular horse in this race, I've been interested in things said by Dr Fung, but his presentation is full of red flags for me. But I also can't find convincing refutation of his ideas, so I'm left undecided. But please for the love of god, pay attention to the red flags.
Imagine when u do weightlifting with IF. I started lifting heavy weight with IF.. I lost weight, but I looked jacked up. I got accused of taking roids. When in fact my natural hgh just increased.
@@michaeltamares7974 how did you get started with lifting weights? I’ve lost 50lbs and would like to find an easy starting program with dumbbells. Any tips would be helpful. Cheers!
Excellent! You're publicizing simple strategies for disease reduction that anyone can follow. I started with a simple mantra "Bread is sugar, sugar is death", and find myself leaner and fitter at 70 than I was at 60. Keep it up!
Oh my gosh! Our kids don't need to eat breakfast! Yes! I was reading how our ancestors lived. They got up, got the water, did morning chores, gathered eggs, etc. Broke their fast around 11 or later...they were intermittenting fasting and didn't know it. They did hard manual labor, worked every muscle fiber. This all makes sense. I no longer stress about breakfast, if anything I am like we don't need to eat. Wonderful info. Keep up the excellent work!
For adults I get this as a choice we make, but for kids, sending them out in the morning with nothing before they start school seems miserable. They’re growing and they need sustenance.
I am enjoying IF! Started 4 weeks ago with 16 hrs abd now i easily do 18-20 hours and on Sunday i do 36hr fast. So last meal on Sat evening and next on Monday morning at 10. I feel full of energy and my clothes are fitting beautifully. Now people have started noticing too and say you’ve lost weight. I’m hopeful for the first time in 30 years that i can do this long term and make a lifestyle change.
Been fasting and it’s now so easy. My dinner is not just cucumber and nuts . My sugar level has improved so much . Before it was 135 upwards ; now it’s 104-115
I've tried so many different fasting hours. I stuck to 8pm-12pm for so long but I've grown to hate that heavy meal at night, ugh. So far eating my last meal at 4pm and my fast breaking meal at 2 pm is golden for me.
@@shalini14p thank you I have done exactly what Dr Fung advises weight loss at present is 23kgs and I don't get hungry anymore I'm so happy and thankful
I use intermittant fasting on a daily basis starting to have breakfast at 8-9am, light protein lunch at noon and my last meal is between 3-4pm leaving a total fasting period of 16-17 hours. For me this requires little effort. I eat plenty of steamed vegetables and raw fruits to avoid being constipated.
Saturated fat helps me with the log jam. Butter, lard, cream,beef fat. Just a dab will do. Add butter to veg or something but this has worked for me. Lots of water drinking too
Thank you for your educational advice. Most of us are unaware of how our bodies work. So thank you for sharing all the hard work that goes towards providing such valuable information freely for the general public.
Great advice. Growing up, we ate pop tarts, cereal like Froot Loops & Frosted Flakes, pancakes with fake syrup, etc. No wonder skipping breakfast can really help us lose weight. Thanks for this message!
I remember being frustrated with my diabetes counselors when I developed gestational diabetes. They kept telling me to be constantly eating, even though I rarely felt hungry during pregnancy. It only made my diabetes worse, and I ended up on slow-acting insulin. Now I understand why; I was basically told to eat more carbs, which kept my insulin high, which led to needing more insulin. I’ll be so happy to start IF once I finish breastfeeding! I can absolutely eat less without much trouble, but when I decrease my calories, my milk production takes a hit. At least my family is starting to see the benefits of IF; my mother, sister, and aunts started skipping breakfast and have already lost weight, and my mother has lost six pounds she started retirement! This information is solid.
Isn't it hot stuff how horribly misled most medical people are about what helps and what hurts diabetes, in spite of the truckloads of good information out there?
Dr Jason, you are my online Dr. I discovered your videos since July last year. They are so beneficial to me and my health improved significantly ànd I am feeling better than when I was in the 40s. I do IF 18/6 daily for almost 10 months and exercise with walking 2 hours daily and yoga, following with all your recommendations on diets and instructions to fast properly. I am so happy being free of illnesses (I am 69 and was diagnosed prediabetic ). Everything is back to normal. Thank you so much dr Jason for helping the world. Happy Easter to you and your loved ones 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge to us Dr Fung. Since I started IF in the beginning of this year 2022 I’ve lost 25 lbs! My fatty liver is getting better, inflammations are gone ( plantar fasciitis, back pain, shoulder pain, arms numbness etc ) I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve shared here in TH-cam and it’s FREE! Please guys do a favor, DO NOT SKIP ads as to show our support and appreciation to Dr Fung. Sorry for my English.
We came across Fruit Loop Jelly beans this Easter, my daughter said they taste exactly like the cereal!😲.. I told her that tells you that the cereal is basically all sugar! Thank Goodness Jelly beans are once a year! Won't be buying any sugar based cereals. Thank you Dr. Fung for all of this wonderful information! Love your books and IF does work!
White bread, margarine and jam was the standard breakfast served during a recent hospital stay. I was, and still am amazed that they served this c..p to people who are recovering from illness. What hope have you got? I’m in Australia.
I've ended up with a 17-hour fast every day. Clove of raw garlic, a slice of red onion around 7:30 am, coffee with almond milk 15-20 minutes later, breakfast around 8:30-9 am, lunch between 1-2 pm. No dinner, feel fine/better that way, no trouble falling asleep by 9:45-10 pm. Up at 5, some pushups and squats, then out for a brisk 1-hour walk.
I can see my toes again....something i haven't been able to do since my uni days in the 90s....so thank u...still have a ways to go but my 16hr fasting plan is working...thanks again...have a nice day
Solid simple advice. You don't have to eat if you are not hungry. I use to eat a breakfast bar driving to work. Just cutting that one thing has been helpful because my breakfast starts at 8am instead of 6am.
@@jgrysiak6566 absolutely. I work 3-4 days a week. So my off days breakfast starts around noon. I think the main take away for me is small changes over long periods make a difference.
I lost 20 pounds intermittent fasting. Thank you. All the information learned here It was invaluable to help me achieve this goal. :) keep a routine of fasting a few days a week and have kept the weight off!
Great tips Dr Fung. It’s a real wake up call when you realise you have to unlearn many things you’ve been wrongfully taught about nutrition in order to stay healthy. Increasingly in every facet of life there are things that make it difficult so when you have the knowledge to work around these things it makes a big difference 😉👍🏽
I love your presentation Dr. No circling around to get to the point. Just breaking it down in an easy way , in a lay man term. Easy to follow , and make sense out of it .
@@jgrysiak6566 U r mistaken... Check out Dr. LUSTIG, Dr. Berg, Dr. Berry and Dr. Boz... People ate fat all the time for centuries before us and never got fat. But the last hundred years of processed food, trans fats, vegetable oils and sugar-sweetened drinks has changed the dynamics of eating worldwide... So much so that diabetes is become the TRUE PANDEMIC of our time. Didn't you just hear Dr. Fung point out how breakfast cereals and other highly refined carbs SPIKE the body's insulin and fail to nourish. 🤷
I work pretty early in the morning (4am) So since listening to your advice a few days ago, I fast from 5pm - 9am and make better food choices. Looking forward to the future results 🎉
Thank you for permission to skip breakfast! I never ate much until I was an adult, married with kids and trying to set an example. Everyone said “it’s the most important meal of the day!” From now on, I’m going to pass on breakfast! I know my loaded healthy shake will carry me most of the day and have a small easy meal at dinner. Wish me luck! ❤❤❤
When I followed the overhyped advice "don't skip breakfast!", that was when I was at my heaviest. I knew it wasn't natural for me to put food in my body first thing in the morning yet I did and suffered. It's clear why now. Shortly ditched the breakfast and kilos started to shed. So, no, first-thing-in-the-morning-brekkie is NOT the most important meal of the day!
I followed your water fasting advice, and once lost 48 pounds total, when I did a 100% water fast (no food), for 36 days! My daily blood glucose number on my meter, stayed between 64 and no higher than 95! It’s so amazing to witness, firsthand, how our body, can utilize keystones to produce glucose, for us to use for fuel.
Dr. Fung, Your a Stud… I’ve lost 80lbs this year by reading your books and following your advice. I fast every week, rolling 48hr fast or 72hr fasts. Fasting has changed my relationship with food. Eat for energy not social or emotional. Stay away from seed oils…. #OMAD for life.
Great tips again Dr. Fung! I love eating OMAD. And I will especially today, when I'll be breaking my second annual, three day fast with our Easter meal. I'm making ham with all the fixings 😋. It's also my 59th birthday so maybe I'll treat myself to a glass of red wine too 😁. Thanks to you, I've met my weight loss goal of losing over 150 lbs. I'm loving my new life. Thanks again for all you do 🙏☺️ And happy Easter to you and your family
Honestly, get his book and read it - great book, great information and insights from a great Doctor who really wants to help people deal with the problem causes.

Thank you for your coaching and just way of teaching common sense which is not so common. You make it resonate and seem so doable. As you teach”anyone can fast.”

I skip breakfast altogether. I'm not hungry, so the first meal of the day is 1-2pm in the afternoon, after my strength training workout. No loss of energy at all. My body simply burns stored fat.
I started fasting because my sister died of NAFLD and I didn't want to go that way. I started with two meals a day but, reduced to OMAD because i didn't see a lot of weight loss. However, when i had blood tests done, my ALT dropped from 18-22 to
I told my endocrinologist that I was doing alternate day fasting to lose weight and repair insulin resistance ( no pre diabetes yet). I was shocked that she was agreeing with the fasting. She was suprised that I had the discipline to do it, but thought it would work and that was not going to hurt me.
❤this content. I commute for work 3 days a week and I’m hungry in the morning so I eat breakfast on my drive The funny thing is why I’m home the other 4 days of the week I eat so much later like sometimes 11 am - so doing a 16 hour fast easily and naturally. I may have to try and do something different the other days for more health benefits. My A1c was the highest it’s ever been 5.9 and my blood glucose was 111 😔

I always make extra. Yesterday made a couple of Ribeye's. Ate at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and today at 11 i chopped up the other Ribeye and threw it in a pan, soaked it with bacon grease, and heated it up. 10 minutes of prep and re-heat.

@@jgrysiak6566 Nope.. my arteries are quite fine, thank you. Sugars, ultra and highly processed foods (particularly seed oils), an overabundance of carbs, and eating too often are what is damaging our bodies. The only criticism I have about John's breakfast is the cured bacon. Fresh pork belly strips would be better/healthier/more tasty.
Hi Dr Jason Been following you. Am 55 and on IF now. Started two months back with OMAD and moved to one meal in 48 hrs now. I also exercise daily by walking 4 kms at a stretch and some intensity exercises on the machines in the public park. I have no sugar nor BP nor cholesterol. This is to check what food to eat (esp since I exercise) on the second day morning of my 48 hour fast. I understand that I also need to retain or build muscle and hence the Q on food. Pls do comment. Tks

Simply timely info .. just when we thought we knew it all, you come along with a practical refresher. I have not had cereal since Feb of 21 and have dropped 6 almost 7 belt notches based on such videos as this. My breakfast (salads mostly) are around noon. with a two hour eating window.
if interested try mixing chia seeds with 2 % cottage cheese and add to a salad. remember to let the seeds soak for about 5 minutes. extra protein and minerals.

when I started Keto last July 2021 I went OMAD almost immediately. I believe I was halfway into Keto without knowing it anyway. I found it very easy to do. I also didn't suffer the "Keto Flu" symptoms. By April I had lost 40 lbs and that wasn't my goal. I just wanted to eat healthily and lose a few pounds from 205 to say 190 crazy how the weight just flew off. I now maintain 170-175. An Inbody scan showed me 12% body fat and a level 4 visceral fat. Doc said that was an amazingly low VF #. I wish I had done the scan prior to the change. I am now a Ketovore and love eating more meat. Feel good and have plenty of energy. I am a carpenter 60 yrs old and I'm the guy installing the plywood on the roof LOL. Jason, you are one of the few doc's online I watch and learn from thanks
So inspiring, thanks. I am a yoyo, lil push.
the "keto flu" is just your body not being adjusted to using ketones yet. if you do OMAD, you should easily protect yourself from the flu part, as your body is doing small shifts to ketones everyday. keto flu gets REALLY bad if you are hitting the carbs a lot, and then try to fast for days at a time while your body is still full of glycogen/glucose. if you let your body adjust slowly, the keto flu will never come.
ive lost 36lbs and 3 1/2” off my waist in just two months your book obesity code changed my life. thank you
What was your daily diet?
@@gloriasaliba3395 whole natural foods. i cut out all refined foods like the book says. at the beginning of my weight loss journey, i did 72hr fasts, and one meal a day. did that for two weeks straight and the results were amazing. on my fast days i only consumed water and coffee( black). these methods work. just depends how bad you want it. i was sick and tired of being sick and tired. i cut out all the sweets and pastries that comforted me when im feeling down and started to cook instead of going out and looking for quick and cheap food. good luck
@@wigum12 thanks for the response - I’m endeavouring to do the same
Thank you doctor. I'm only 44 and I found out that my fasting blood sugar was 114 about 3 weeks ago during routine body check. I am following 18:6 intermittent fasting schedule and cut rice and noodle completely. I still get some carbs from an apple I eat every day and from veggies. Occasionally, I still eat 1 tablespoon rice alone with the meal here and there. 3 week later, my fasting blood sugar is 98 and I'm so glad that I saw your videos. Also, I lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks. My goal is to loss 30 more pounds and get my health back.
Dr. Fung: these are now my all day for well break[fast] rules:🥇1: not to zoon; 🥈2: avoiding sugars; and 🥉3: processed foods 😁 thanks so much ☕
This should be taught in schools
If you don’t have time in the morning try preparing boiled eggs the night before and put them in the fridge in a container. Then just grab the container on your way out the door,you can eat the eggs whenever you feel hungry.
That's exactly what I do too. Made 6 of them last night 😊❤
Yes! For variety, I also make flat omelettes then roll/fold them. Easy to eat while driving or at desk. 😅 Can add some ground meat, cheese. For variety, season italian/mexican/caribbean/north african/etc.
Easy to bake eggs in sheet pan - scramble, season, pop into oven .
I went from 297 lbs to 210 lbs in under 5 months eating once a day. I started with a 36 hour fast per Dr Fung. I ate one can of black refried beans and a can of green beans. Switched out the black beans with a can of clam chowder every other week. I kept 1/4” slices of Italian roast beef in the fridge for a snak if I was to get hungry. I paddled a touring kayak every weekend and a couple of times during the week. I tried riding my mountain bike which I love doing but it made me very hungry so I stopped. The kayak I found simple effortless and really burned cals and gave me rapid core strength. It’s the way to go. I’m 61 and feel great but not 28 !! Lol
You eat 2 cans of food a day and nothing else?
@@Finn959
That’s right. Plus a multi vitamin. Never was hungry or anything
Why canned?
Biking does make you HUNGRY!
@@pilarhaas5161
Sorry for late reply but for two reasons. Was quick and easy, good cold straight from the can. Mostly because calories are labeled. I wanted that precise knowledge of intake vs loss !
I started IF 5 months ago. From 71 kilos, am now weighing 62 kilos... Salamat Doc😊
About 1 year ago I changed my breakfast to…small salad with avocado, tomato, dark greens, carrot, cucumber and some olive oil and apple cider vinegar + a small bowl of plain yogurt with berries + coffee and a bit of cream. Next meal is dinner. Feels great.
That’s a lot of food!! 😂
My husband and I like a salad bowl for breakfast. We add a fried egg on it. Amazing! 😊
That’s lunch 😂
@@anon7641no it’s not
1) breakfast too fast
2) too much sugar
3) too much shitty carbs
thank you

Fresh blueberries about 80 grams are great with a bowl of organic porridge oats no need for added sugar. Although oats obviously a carbohydrate but a whole food at least.
Or a low carb alternative might be organic plain yoghurt with fresh blueberries. Tastes yummy and a pleasant breakfast especially in summer.
Don't you just love Dr. Fung? A Dr. who doesn't talk down their nose to you, and explains in simple but not condescending language using logic, science, real life examples, and a genuine concern for a person's health.
#1 makes me wonder why the advice for folks with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has always been to eat within an hour of rising. Sometimes that seems to make me feel better but others not so much. I have coffee with MCT, then eat mainly protein (no sugar) and I still get an energy slump in the mid morning. Wonder what that's about. Anyone have ideas or want to share similar experiences?
Dr. Sten Ekberg explained what you’re likely hitting in a clear way in one of his youTube videos with a clear bit of explanation combined with graphics (he’s good at that).
There are 9 essential amino acids we need in a proper ratio to make the complete proteins we need for our bodies. There are 2 things that happen in digestion with the combination of whatever we get for that intake:
1. We end up with replenishing the required amino acids, making complete proteins where we have full sets of the amino acids to build our proteins we need.
2. Where we intake amino acids that can’t be combined to make full proteins we need, they are burned for energy or stored as fats via the same way we work with other macronutrients: our body doesn’t store them for later use in their original forms. So, too, extra complete proteins end up as fuel, and those must be dealt with. It doesn’t pay to eat too much protein.
Dr. Benjamin Bikman (also has a book “Why We Get Sick”) covers insulin, etc. in great detail and points out an interesting thing regarding proteins: in the presence of fats, (at least enough fats, I expect) incomplete proteins won’t cause the same insulin response. But, as soon as you add carbs to those proteins, the insulin response is multiplied by the dosage of carbs. Thus, if that is perfectly correct in all cases (our bodies tend to do things on a spectrum…) if you had no carbs in your system, you’d not have that energy slump just eating protein and fat combined (and you should always have protein with fat) even if it’s not as complete of proteins for the amino acid balance.
I’ve experienced this with varying what and how much I use as condiments on large hamburgers: I can eat a huge amount, but if I add too much of carbs in the form of condiments, it pushes me into a very low-energy state, as I’m reactive hypoglycemic and that’s something that causes me problems.
Look into what they are finding out about how people recover from long covid and apply to any other virus that has hit you. for me the ones that stand out are mononucleosis at 40, and before that epstein barr at 4 that gave me rotten tonsils and monthly high fevers for over a year I lost lot of weight . I had a tonsilectomy and it took a while to recover my weight and strength. Now I have no energy whatsoever. I might be able to stand by the stove to cook a fast breakfast but feel shaky until i lie down. Of course in the course of a lifetime many viruses hit you and the body has to overcome them. It seems I have a low energy foggy minded response to this. I used to overeat when tired and now know my low energy does not have to do with that. On the contrary when I eat many times I feel worse.
The MCT oil is breaking your fast! Wait until your eating window opens then put it in another cup of coffee. I did the same thing, read Gin Stephens book, stopped my MCT first thing in morning, and started losing weight. Good luck
I'm quite concerned about anyone explaining things "laypeople-accessible" way if they're not explaining things that perfectly align scientific consensus. It's the classic fraudster tactic.
If he can't convince doctors of his field with the logic presented here, why do you think he's here targeting you?
I have no particular horse in this race, I've been interested in things said by Dr Fung, but his presentation is full of red flags for me. But I also can't find convincing refutation of his ideas, so I'm left undecided.
But please for the love of god, pay attention to the red flags.
@@strictnonconformist7369 THANKS FOR SHARING!!! Great information!! 🙏💙
I love Jason Fung! He
helped me lose almost 50 pounds.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Imagine when u do weightlifting with IF. I started lifting heavy weight with IF.. I lost weight, but I looked jacked up. I got accused of taking roids. When in fact my natural hgh just increased.
@@michaeltamares7974 how did you get started with lifting weights? I’ve lost 50lbs and would like to find an easy starting program with dumbbells. Any tips would be helpful. Cheers!
Excellent! You're publicizing simple strategies for disease reduction that anyone can follow. I started with a simple mantra "Bread is sugar, sugar is death", and find myself leaner and fitter at 70 than I was at 60. Keep it up!
Oh my gosh! Our kids don't need to eat breakfast! Yes! I was reading how our ancestors lived. They got up, got the water, did morning chores, gathered eggs, etc. Broke their fast around 11 or later...they were intermittenting fasting and didn't know it. They did hard manual labor, worked every muscle fiber. This all makes sense. I no longer stress about breakfast, if anything I am like we don't need to eat. Wonderful info. Keep up the excellent work!
For adults I get this as a choice we make, but for kids, sending them out in the morning with nothing before they start school seems miserable. They’re growing and they need sustenance.
O@@fc4660
I dont think this good advise.Type 1 diabetics neec to eat not fastt.Childten need breakfast for energy otherwise thry flag and eat rubbush.
I wouldn’t use this same advice and protocol for eating with children….their bodies are still growing rapidly, they need fuel.
I have learned more from Dr. Fung than from all other books and videos I have read/watched over the years combined. Thank You.
I am enjoying IF! Started 4 weeks ago with 16 hrs abd now i easily do 18-20 hours and on Sunday i do 36hr fast. So last meal on Sat evening and next on Monday morning at 10. I feel full of energy and my clothes are fitting beautifully. Now people have started noticing too and say you’ve lost weight. I’m hopeful for the first time in 30 years that i can do this long term and make a lifestyle change.
👍 agreed totally..I used not to have breakfast and I feel much better breaking my fast later than straight after I woke up
Been fasting and it’s now so easy. My dinner is not just cucumber and nuts . My sugar level has improved so much . Before it was 135 upwards ; now it’s 104-115
I've tried so many different fasting hours. I stuck to 8pm-12pm for so long but I've grown to hate that heavy meal at night, ugh. So far eating my last meal at 4pm and my fast breaking meal at 2 pm is golden for me.
Thank you so much Dr Fung I have lost 19.5kilos so far since Jan 2022 and my Dr will be taking me off meds soon all thanks to you I applaud you
That’s awesome!
@@shalini14p thank you I have done exactly what Dr Fung advises weight loss at present is 23kgs and I don't get hungry anymore I'm so happy and thankful
I use intermittant fasting on a daily basis starting to have breakfast at 8-9am, light protein lunch at noon and my last meal is between 3-4pm leaving a total fasting period of 16-17 hours. For me this requires little effort. I eat plenty of steamed vegetables and raw fruits to avoid being constipated.
Saturated fat helps me with the log jam. Butter, lard, cream,beef fat. Just a dab will do. Add butter to veg or something but this has worked for me. Lots of water drinking too
Just skip breakfast & quit eating @ 6 or 7!
I ate breakfast 9am then lunch smoothie dinner at 5 pm 16/8.Cut on sugar protein bars when I’m hungry (ATKINS) and plant based diet.
I skip breakfast , prefer a "brunch" around 11 to 12, then evening meal at around 6 to 7..
I stick to a 6 hour window. 12 noon to 6. Mainly meat,eggs,fish. Small amount of carbs. No coffee. Lost 12o pounds. No stress.
Thank you for your educational advice. Most of us are unaware of how our bodies work. So thank you for sharing all the hard work that goes towards providing such valuable information freely for the general public.
Great advice. Growing up, we ate pop tarts, cereal like Froot Loops & Frosted Flakes, pancakes with fake syrup, etc. No wonder skipping breakfast can really help us lose weight. Thanks for this message!
Captain Crunch! ⛵
We ate lotsa French toast dipped in fattening eggs & milk, fried in fattening butter & topped with lots of fake Aunt Jemima pancake syrup!
Me too!
Captain Crunch was my absolute favorite-it's a killer!
I remember being frustrated with my diabetes counselors when I developed gestational diabetes. They kept telling me to be constantly eating, even though I rarely felt hungry during pregnancy. It only made my diabetes worse, and I ended up on slow-acting insulin. Now I understand why; I was basically told to eat more carbs, which kept my insulin high, which led to needing more insulin.
I’ll be so happy to start IF once I finish breastfeeding! I can absolutely eat less without much trouble, but when I decrease my calories, my milk production takes a hit. At least my family is starting to see the benefits of IF; my mother, sister, and aunts started skipping breakfast and have already lost weight, and my mother has lost six pounds she started retirement!
This information is solid.
Isn't it hot stuff how horribly misled most medical people are about what helps and what hurts diabetes, in spite of the truckloads of good information out there?
Dr Jason, you are my online Dr. I discovered your videos since July last year. They are so beneficial to me and my health improved significantly ànd I am feeling better than when I was in the 40s. I do IF 18/6 daily for almost 10 months and exercise with walking 2 hours daily and yoga, following with all your recommendations on diets and instructions to fast properly. I am so happy being free of illnesses (I am 69 and was diagnosed prediabetic ). Everything is back to normal. Thank you so much dr Jason for helping the world.
Happy Easter to you and your loved ones 💕
What foods does he recommend to eat?
@@monicathrasher3561 eggs ,steak and steel cut oats
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge to us Dr Fung. Since I started IF in the beginning of this year 2022 I’ve lost 25 lbs! My fatty liver is getting better, inflammations are gone ( plantar fasciitis, back pain, shoulder pain, arms numbness etc ) I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve shared here in TH-cam and it’s FREE! Please guys do a favor, DO NOT SKIP ads as to show our support and appreciation to Dr Fung. Sorry for my English.
Your English is great!
We came across Fruit Loop Jelly beans this Easter, my daughter said they taste exactly like the cereal!😲.. I told her that tells you that the cereal is basically all sugar! Thank Goodness Jelly beans are once a year! Won't be buying any sugar based cereals. Thank you Dr. Fung for all of this wonderful information! Love your books and IF does work!
White bread, margarine and jam was the standard breakfast served during a recent hospital stay. I was, and still am amazed that they served this c..p to people who are recovering from illness. What hope have you got? I’m in Australia.
None. Same in the U.S.
When in the hospital you'd be better off doing a water fast. At least the body would have a chance to heal.
Thank God people like you exist! 😌
I've ended up with a 17-hour fast every day. Clove of raw garlic, a slice of red onion around 7:30 am, coffee with almond milk 15-20 minutes later, breakfast around 8:30-9 am, lunch between 1-2 pm. No dinner, feel fine/better that way, no trouble falling asleep by 9:45-10 pm. Up at 5, some pushups and squats, then out for a brisk 1-hour walk.
You should opt for heavy cream in your coffee. It will not break a fast. It will allow you to fast even longer.
So glad I found your content. I’m currently overweight and need your advice to improve my health. Thank you.
I can see my toes again....something i haven't been able to do since my uni days in the 90s....so thank u...still have a ways to go but my 16hr fasting plan is working...thanks again...have a nice day
Solid simple advice. You don't have to eat if you are not hungry. I use to eat a breakfast bar driving to work. Just cutting that one thing has been helpful because my breakfast starts at 8am instead of 6am.
Or just dont eat breakfast @ all. Just have a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast!
@@jgrysiak6566 absolutely. I work 3-4 days a week. So my off days breakfast starts around noon. I think the main take away for me is small changes over long periods make a difference.

I lost 20 pounds intermittent fasting. Thank you. All the information learned here It was invaluable to help me achieve this goal. :) keep a routine of fasting a few days a week and have kept the weight off!
Great tips Dr Fung. It’s a real wake up call when you realise you have to unlearn many things you’ve been wrongfully taught about nutrition in order to stay healthy. Increasingly in every facet of life there are things that make it difficult so when you have the knowledge to work around these things it makes a big difference 😉👍🏽

I work pretty early in the morning (4am) So since listening to your advice a few days ago, I fast from 5pm - 9am and make better food choices. Looking forward to the future results 🎉
Thank you Dr.Fung…..I definitely needed to hear this important information.
Thank you for permission to skip breakfast! I never ate much until I was an adult, married with kids and trying to set an example. Everyone said “it’s the most important meal of the day!” From now on, I’m going to pass on breakfast! I know my loaded healthy shake will carry me most of the day and have a small easy meal at dinner. Wish me luck! ❤❤❤
I have lost 24 kilos since fasting. It’s the only thing that has worked. I’m slim now .
Thank you so much Dr. Trying to control my insulin resistance.
When I followed the overhyped advice "don't skip breakfast!", that was when I was at my heaviest. I knew it wasn't natural for me to put food in my body first thing in the morning yet I did and suffered. It's clear why now. Shortly ditched the breakfast and kilos started to shed. So, no, first-thing-in-the-morning-brekkie is NOT the most important meal of the day!
1-Too soon( don’t eat right after waking up)
2- Too much sugar
3-Too many processed carb.
I followed your water fasting advice, and once lost 48 pounds total, when I did a 100% water fast (no food), for 36 days! My daily blood glucose number on my meter, stayed between 64 and no higher than 95! It’s so amazing to witness, firsthand, how our body, can utilize keystones to produce glucose, for us to use for fuel.
Get a life
You fasted for 36 days in a row? That's impressive
Dr. Fung, Your a Stud… I’ve lost 80lbs this year by reading your books and following your advice. I fast every week, rolling 48hr fast or 72hr fasts. Fasting has changed my relationship with food. Eat for energy not social or emotional. Stay away from seed oils…. #OMAD for life.
Great tips again Dr. Fung! I love eating OMAD. And I will especially today, when I'll be breaking my second annual, three day fast with our Easter meal. I'm making ham with all the fixings 😋.

Yes please share, was it dry fasting continuously for 72hrs?
I learned about the circadian rhythm fifteen or more years ago when looking at Melatonin levels in milk. I've used this for a long time and it's amazing.
I skip breakfast altogether. I'm not hungry, so the first meal of the day is 1-2pm in the afternoon, after my strength training workout. No loss of energy at all. My body simply burns stored fat.
You don’t skip breakfast. It’s impossible so…..
@@Blackandwhitecat-u9v he didn't mean it literally.. He meant not eating in morning.. Dont twist words.
I started fasting because my sister died of NAFLD and I didn't want to go that way. I started with two meals a day but, reduced to OMAD because i didn't see a lot of weight loss. However, when i had blood tests done, my ALT dropped from 18-22 to
I told my endocrinologist that I was doing alternate day fasting to lose weight and repair insulin resistance ( no pre diabetes yet). I was shocked that she was agreeing with the fasting. She was suprised that I had the discipline to do it, but thought it would work and that was not going to hurt me.
❤this content.
I commute for work 3 days a week and I’m hungry in the morning so I eat breakfast on my drive
The funny thing is why I’m home the other 4 days of the week I eat so much later like sometimes 11 am - so doing a 16 hour fast easily and naturally. I may have to try and do something different the other days for more health benefits. My A1c was the highest it’s ever been 5.9 and my blood glucose was 111 😔
Amazing how simple once you got what it takes!! Self discipline and willingness are playing big factors! I feel much better and my fital signs are great and I add exercise and daily walks ! Iam not hungry or craving junk foods anymore thank you 🙏

I am fasting on an 8 hour window, I am thinking of 6. Weight iOS magically dropping off, and I fell good that I am not taking any pills or supplements. Just pushing myself away from the table, and it's not that gard when I picture the final results....Dr, Fung I dispensing such powerful advice backed up with science and his experience treating obesity.
I always make extra. Yesterday made a couple of Ribeye's. Ate at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and today at 11 i chopped up the other Ribeye and threw it in a pan, soaked it with bacon grease, and heated it up. 10 minutes of prep and re-heat. Washed it down with an ice cold glass of ACV+Lemon Juice+Water. Seems to work great for me!
I bring leftover protein from dinner the night before to work. And break my fast at my afternoon break with it.
My absolute favorite break-fast!!! Maybe a soft boiled egg to round off the plate with the steak.
U are clogging your arteries eating all those animals!
@@jgrysiak6566 Nope.. my arteries are quite fine, thank you. Sugars, ultra and highly processed foods (particularly seed oils), an overabundance of carbs, and eating too often are what is damaging our bodies. The only criticism I have about John's breakfast is the cured bacon. Fresh pork belly strips would be better/healthier/more tasty.
Hi Dr Jason
Been following you. Am 55 and on IF now. Started two months back with OMAD and moved to one meal in 48 hrs now. I also exercise daily by walking 4 kms at a stretch and some intensity exercises on the machines in the public park. I have no sugar nor BP nor cholesterol.
This is to check what food to eat (esp since I exercise) on the second day morning of my 48 hour fast. I understand that I also need to retain or build muscle and hence the Q on food. Pls do comment. Tks
I don’t remember my family big on the fast break
Not even dinner
The big meal was like at 2:00 - lunchdin?…
No overweight- no heart conditions- no diabetes

Simply timely info .. just when we thought we knew it all, you come along with a practical refresher. I have not had cereal since Feb of 21 and have dropped 6 almost 7 belt notches based on such videos as this. My breakfast (salads mostly) are around noon. with a two hour eating window.
