Please make a video about IF for people who have to take meds with food. I have to eat something with Lithium morning and evening. I asked my doctor and the pharmacist what is the smallest portion i could eat and they had no idea.
DR. Fung- thank you so much! I started IF recently and have gone from 303 lbs to 269 today. Still need to lose more; but all of your videos and tips help so much!
Hey Dr can we vape while we fast ? Thank you for all what you do for us :)
@@sissie44 Sandra Westley I also have been doing 16/8 fasting and I sort of grounded to a holt after doing quite well before, I then introduced chewing gum with alcohol sweeteners and it was 90g carbohydrates, as soon as I stopped it made a difference, so I should think your Diet Coke is at the bottom of your problem.
Hello Dr Fung, I’ve been playing around with fasting for the last 3 years. I’ve done 7 day water fast once to kick start the fat loss. Using your analogy fridge/freezer, how do I get to the “freezer” with IF, if I refeed every 36 hours and get to ketosis usually takes at least 48 hours. How do I burn fat on 16/8 or 24 hour IF regiment then?
“She doesn’t say lost because she does not want to find those pounds again.” Lol I FELT that! AMEN!
Yes
That’s a great one! And makes perfect sense👏😂
That one is excellent !
I agree. I have gotten rid of the extra 60lbs I was carrying. I don't want them back ever. I have settled into an OMAD routine and have stayed the same size now for several years.
@@robinbeers6689 that’s Fabulous Robin! Way to go👏👏👏
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
I have to admit ... your videos were the turning point on my weight loss journey. I started a year ago. Yesterday was first day I weighed in under 200 lbs ( started at 305 ish ).
Congratulations. I'm jealous. Motivates me to join in your success by doing it myself. Trying hard every day. All the best to you.
Congratulations, that's not easy to accomplish! Easier this way, it sounds like- I will find out! ANy favorite tips to share??
Nice job anything with a 1 in front right .🖖
Yay you rocked it.
That's fantastic progress!
Eye opening: when you fast, your body is being fed: by your fat! So when you finally eat, don’t think you have to make up for the “missed food”. You were eating the whole time!
that is so good! ❤🙌
Oooh good one 👍🏻
Love it!!
That's deep!
Now that's money right there 🙌🏽
DR FUNG i'm a 67yr old african american woman i started fasting five weeks ago my blood sugar very good now thank you 💘
👏🏾🙂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💥❤❤❤
Congrats on the healthy blood sugar! 💗🙏🏼💕
Happy for you!
I'm a 63 year old woman who has struggled to lose weight all my life by counting something (calories, carbs, points, etc). I started IF 2 years ago and have lost 33 pounds without counting anything - I'm the lowest weight I've ever been, can now move easily with lots of energy, and enjoy wonderful meals twice a day (noon and 6 pm). This is life-changing - thank you, Dr. Fung!
Thanks for your inspirational words. ❤🙏😘
Lost 30 pounds during this pandemic year. Didn’t think it would happen after a certain age, but I was wrong. I don’t eat anything that I don’t truly love, one or two meals a day and have not felt deprived. I was determined to not get more unhealthy when we went into lockdown.
I've heard that said. With only intermittent fasting, no counting of carbs or calories people lost weight. It was hard for me to believe but every time I hear it I believe it! I would love to have a normal diet versus a keto diet. If I can adopt this kind of intimate tent fasting and maintain a regular diet I would be so happy!
🙏 fantastic...
@@Sara-fp6xr me too. I tried the keto diet and hated it.
I gave up sugar long before I ever heard of Keto or fasting. Possibly this made things a little easier for me, because I've found Keto and intermittent fasting so easy. I'm still fasting 19:5 every day and I've 'shed' a ton of weight. I started in May 2020 and I weighed 313 pounds. Today I weight 210 pounds.
Do you count total or net carbs? And great fasting regimen, too long fasts trigger my binging.
@@InSync3912 hi, when I started, I did count net carbs, but I feel this held me back. In the end, I just decided that carbs were not necessary and although I still get some - less than 20 grams per day, that's when the magic happened.
So the only carbs I get are from vegetables and my coconut and almond flours.
I'm not an expert, but my take on your 'long' fasts is to consume larger meals during your eating window and to include more fat.
Consider fat bombs when the craving comes to town.
Hope that helps.
well done ,
thanks for sharing your positive experience with us
we get hope and stay motivated.
Wow!!! That is awesome! One year I gave up sugar for Lent, read every label, and just giving up sugar helped me lose weight. Keep rocking!
Well done happy for u 👏 👍
First thing I hear from other people is "omg you're starving yourself" and that's usually where the conversation ends because you can't get through to some people.
Haa or "it's not good for you" and shaking their head like I decided to drink bleach or something
They don’t understand. You can lead by example
I had my rheumatologist say this exactly so I stopped talking about it because I figured there was no point. (I also stopped going to him)
#notdeadyet
I just say, "now I eat Less"....( Often)
I lost 25 pounds very fast without knowing about fasting. I bought a home and was busy adjusting to ownership that I only ate in the evening. I questioned why the weight loss and ventured online and realized that not eating all day was the answer. I continue eating only once a day so actually fast for 21 hours. I do have sweetened and creamed coffee for breakfast and drink water throughout the day. I may not be following the exact formula, but it seems to work for me.
My wife to start with was very against me fasting. Once she started seeing my results she was won over and has now started fasting herself. It’s much easier now we are encouraging each other.
Tip #4 reminds me of what Jesus had to say about fasting. "But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. My wife and I regularly fast not only for health benefits but also for religious purposes. Keeping our focus on why we are fasting really helps us on the challenging days. Thank you Dr. for the encouragement and another great video!
Amen
Amen Chris!! Wonderful post & it honors our Father in heaven.
I'm not even a christian and yet one of my mantras for fasting is "But I keep under my body and hold it into subjection". I am in control of my own health journey!
Don't follow religious zealots because u will become judgmental like them, follow God!
@Nikki Lauren
Probably because that was the normal thing to do when not fasting.
On my 26th day of OMAD. Was wearing size 12-14, now 10-12. Looking forward to size 8-10 soon. This is the easiest thing I've done. Thank you Dr. Fung ❤
Amusing. I have been fasting for three years now. I didn't have a support group. " Well meaning" friends actually sabotage.
I hear you. 😏
True..people can sabotage your progress
I am sure you have heard "Well great, it works for you." As in they are too undisciplined and lazy to make any effort.
Hi Mythilly Chari: can you explain to us ur fasting eating habit behaviour during ur 3 yrs course? Did u do fasting for 6 months and then get a break for 2 months and then do another 6 months of fasting and another 2 months break right after and another 6 months of fasting and so on? Very appreciate if you could share your fasting during your 3 yrs course with us ? Thank you.
@@VoIPPortland Yes, they're all curious how I lost 40 pounds, but when I tell them their face falls because they don't have the discipline.
I was 390lbs, had started keto, lost 30lbs, and saw your lectures from years ago and gave it a shot, now I'm 260 and back on eating once a day and loving it. Thank you so much for helping me break that mold.
You're doing great! Very inspiring for the rest of us.
Congratulations Jacob
Doctor I wish you were my family ! But I consider you family ! You saved my life ! You changed my perception of my relation with my body !! And in 6 months I was able to loose 112 pounds , and yes I don’t want to find them back !! And now I truly understand how to treat my body ! Thank you so much !
Wow.congrats
@@SHAWNA499 thank you 😊
@@mikejunior8248
WOW! What a Testimony!!!
Congratulations and thank you for encouraging the rest of us.
@@GeorgetownDCNative ohh thank you 😊 ! And yes it’s time we get healthy all together ! We have been poisoning our bodies ! And it’s our time to be the ones. To look , and feel good ! Wishing you the best
Mike how did you do it? Which fasting method did you use. Honestly, I'm having a difficult time believing you've lost that much in 6 months. Was that safe? Are you keeping off the weight?
I don't need a support group. I just watch Dr. Fung's videos; they are powerful enough to keep me going.
lol I do that too my dear !
Everyday watchin
Hallelujah 😂
Through the fasting/low carb lifestyle, I have lost 40 pounds and now at the same weight I was in college (32" waist). My wife is down 50 pounds and has about 10 more to go. Thank you Dr. Fung!
I think it is a lifestyle. If we go back to the same old lifestyle, we go back to the same old metabolism. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
Great Job!
My wife has 10 to go as well.... problem is I haven't told her yet! 😂
@@lindamcneil711 you are so correct!
I also want to say that I was heading in the direction of type 2 diabetes and my physician was threatening to put me on meds if my blood sugar didn't go down. The fasting/low carb lifestyle solved that problem and now my blood sugar levels are normal. Same for my wife.
I'll just stick with Dr Fung and Dr Sten Ekberg instead of relying on social media support. Education and understanding how the body works beats advice from "Keto police", hands down!
I totally agree!!
My two favorites for sure!
Well said! Me too. Dr Mindy is great too.
@@ccolescanada thanks, I'll have to check her out
Right on, Zhanna!
I fast every single day for 20 hours and I randomly do 48 hour fasts too. I only drink water during those times except first thing in the morning I add electrolytes to my water (powder form and also has sodium, potassium and magnesium in it). I've been doing this for three weeks and I'm about 50 lbs overweight. I haven't weighed myself since I started but I've noticed a huge difference in my body. Being in ketosis is incredible and gives me amazing energy. I've lost inches from my waist and legs.
For a 48 hour fast you don’t need electrolytes. Why add processed chemicals to your fast. If you need the crunch suck on a few bits of rock salt.
Electrolyte powder is not fasting
@ Chandra. I'm very happy for you! I started 16/8 about 10 weeks ago and lost 22 lbs. This is the fastest I've ever lost weight. I've done a few fasts for about 24 - 40 hours but still find them difficult. I used salt and substitute salt to get sodium and potassium in the last time (1 tsp each sipped slowly over 40 hours in water); that made it easier but was still a challenge. I'd like to add in magnesium and calcium next time. What powdered electrolytes did you use? Thanks in advance!
When you talk of electrolytes in powder form, is it a product? I add lite salt with potassium and sodium, or magnesium fizzy tablets or use salt tablets at different times, usually with Vit D. I saw those other comments, geez, Megan Ramos says the first 24hrs are the most critical for replacing electrolytes as the body is dumping them with the excess water from the insulin drop. I certainly benefit from some combination.
@@chogg611 Minerals are not processed chemicals lol who told you that? They can help a lot with fasting and do not break your fast so its stupid not to take them.
I have a whiteboard in my room that has all the reasons I might emotionally eat even when I’m not hungry, and beside each reason, I have an alternate activity to “feed” that “need.” Whenever I look at it, it’s a huge help!
Please share that list if you can. Thanks
That's a great idea!
@@muslimgirl6782 It's pretty simple, so I'm not sure how much help it will be, but it's currently:
"FOOD AS A PROXY FOR...
-pleasure/taste... *drink apple cider vinegar
-self-care... *take a shower, go on a stroll
-stress relief... *meditation
-freedom of choice... *make travel plans for post-pandemic
-comfort... *stop all work, watch a favorite movie/TV show"
When I feel a "hunger" pang, I look up at the board and try to figure out what feeling I'm searching for. The hardest emotion to satisfy is the desire for comfort, because I've found even stopping all stressful activities leaves me wanting something else. Not social contact or anything (though it may work for some), but something intangible that is probably just elusive to humans from time to time. I hope whatever your lifestyle is like, that you're able to find substitute activities that work for you and give you a sense of peace.
That's such a great idea! I may borrow it. 😁
I love love love this idea! ❤
Thank you for this video Doc! I’m a Breast Cancer survivor (and feeling great!😃)just starting IF to loose 50lbs.The hardest part for me is the evening’s,. When the Night time snack attack feelings start, I make a cup of tea and go to bed.☺️
I’m in my 4th week of intermittent fasting. I can’t believe I sit and watch my husband eating his huge breakfast as I drink my black coffee.
sameee here!!!!!! cheers
*WUT does youe HusBand have to say about ALL this????*
You can do it!!! He will see how amazing you look n feel and might go to your way.
I literally prayed and thanked God for bringing your video to me. It was a random suggestion and I clicked on it just because and ended up sitting for the full hour + talk and have been changed ever since! Thank you so much for all the straightforward and simplified education
What I like about fasting is that I don’t have to try to figure out a lot of healthy meals. It’s much easier with less meals to plan. I also don’t get food fatigue with simple healthy meals when Im eating less meals.
Yes! So much easier and when you do eat it is so much more enjoyable even if there is nothing really special about the food.
Yeah I enjoy vegetables so much now that I crave broccoli like I used to crave chocolate! 🤯. I’m not making it up I swear it’s true. And i save so much money every week. My husband joined me fasting now and we save even more as just my two kids and mum to feed. In the past I did weight watchers and thought I did really well but it cost me money. Now I not only fast for free but I get all the money I’m saving from not buying the food!
I started at the beginning of April. Down 20 . . . feel great. Your comment is spot on. I love all the time and money saved. I only eat dinner, which is usually my "social meal," so I don't miss out on family/friend time. All those other meals . . . just time gained. Easy button. And, yes, I enjoy dinner a lot more since my body is ready to eat and not still "stuffed" from lunch.
Anyone out there who has been struggling doing some form of keto and IF and still not losing weight... try an extended fast! I've been struggling for two years on/off keto or zero carb and tried 16:8 and omad and my weight would not budge even sticking with it for months. The first time I did a 70 hour fast and then omad the rest of the week I dropped 10 pounds. It started to fix my blood sugar as well, averaging 90 and dropping to 80. The third 70 hour my blood sugar dropped to 72. This really works!! Try it!
Thank you😊
Wow! Similar to what I tried in past, I did alternate day fasting, 36 hours at a time. Worked way better than 24 hours, doing OMAD I felt like I was cheating! It’s funny, the 1st time I did 36 hours, it was like ok, I woke up this morning & feel good & I didn’t die! We really can fast, hahaha!
I love before and after photos keep them coming it's very motivational.
If I feel like giving up they always help!
Type 2 diabetic. I started with 12:12 fasting, then today I fasted 16: 8. It was easier than I imagined. When I did eat, the food tasted so good. I hadn't noticed how tasty my low carb food actually was. I really thought I would be starving lol, but I wasn't. Going to try 16:8 for a few more days, then I will try a 24 hour fast. I am so thankful I ran across Dr. Fung. Finally someone who understands diabetes and explains the fasting process in simple terms. Thank you.
Good for you for taking fasting gradually. There are occassional bumps even when it is generally easier but even those bumps are smaller and fewer the more you practice your "fasting muscle".
The last tip is a game changer! When breaking ur fast, Don’t eat like u skipped any meals because you haven’t! Thank you Dr Fung, you’re a great and wonderful teacher 😇😇😇
I'm recovering from Covid-19 and have continued fasting through the illness. I firmly believe that losing the weight I have since November (approx. 23 lbs so far) has helped me to get through this with fewer side effects than many in my age group (55-60) have experienced. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Your channel is one of the best on TH-cam.
I fasted while I had it and it was a lot less to go through than the flu. I think it was the fasting that made the difference.
Good to hear that!👍👍
Got friends who were recovered from covid. But they were young & they didn't have pre-existing condition, so I don't see their case exceptional.
I love it when I find a recovery case among not-so-young age group 😊
I did the same - I knew that weighing 313 pounds, I was a prime candidate for serious illness - or worse! Thankfully I didn't contract the virus, but at 210 pounds, I would like to think that I'd have a better chance.
You did a smart thing staying on your fasting when you had the Covid. I had it a year ago and that’s exactly what I did.
I did not eat anything except bone broth electrolytes and water and I fasted and I got through everything just fine and I have not had any relapses or issues since that time. Intermittent fasting is invaluable and I believe it helps keep our immune system healthy
I was told by my integrative physician to IF during an awful C19 bout last March. I used a protein shake when taking 60mg zinc so I wouldn't become nauseous. I couldn't taste or smell anyway and it made diarrhea less annoying. I still ended up being a "long hauler," but I truly think IF helped me get through the worst of it when I was struggling to breathe, etc.
Dr. Fung IS the real deal.
Fasting got me pregnant after 3 rounds of IVF failed. I wasn’t even very heavy to begin with. I only lost 10 lbs
Thank you for sharing! If you don't mind me asking, what is your age?
@@LTPottenger I will be almost 38 when I give birth. (My b-day is super close to my due date) I was about 34 when we started the fertility journey. I had my first child when I had just turned 32.
yes, all these birthdays are THAT close together. I’m only fertile in June? 😅
@@Fiery154 Thank you!
💜💜💜💜💜
Dr Fung, this is all so helpful, I really like the format of these videos, whenever I start to lose focus on my fasting I just binge watch a few (dozen) of your lectures and I'm back on track! 😂 Thanks so much!
Also I keep buying your books and giving them away to all my friends, lol!
🤣I saw “I just binge..”. Read it wrong🤦♀️. Had to read it again and then it made perfect sense 😅. I am an egg !
I think l have watched 30 so far and this is just my second day to even know he existed and l am so thankful to find this information
I started the low carb Keto diet to get my A1c down below 7.4. My goal is to be in the 5’s by February. I used Bullet proof coffee (butter & Heavy cream) as part of my fasting ritual. I lost 15 pounds in two month 155 - 135) Requested doctor reduce one of my diabetes meds. (He did). I used your videos and rewatch them to reinforce the strategies and remember the “why”. I’ve stumbled the last few weeks (emotional eating). But getting back on track by using your videos and others to reinforce “why I’m on this journey. Thanks for all you do to teach and reach out to diabetics.
Great tips! Best one for me has been not to tell anyone who won't be supportive.... even if it's your Doctor! I'm amazed how many people think fasting is bad for you.... even though they say I look great because I've lost 31 lbs so far and feel so much better. Thank you Dr. Fung for all you do!
One in a million dies from anorexia and half the population from obesity related illness, but fasting is what they worry about lol
I totally agree with that advice! People will poo-poo fasting because they're ignorant.
Not telling anyone who won't be supportive is a great strategy for all areas of your life, particularly when you are trying to achieve something!
Great vid. I am 67, female, and over the last year have gravitated to water and black coffee for 18-20 hours, then OMAD. I play racquetball every day, lift weights, Stairmaster, Swimming etc. Incredible energy. AND I don't fight the white knuckle thing all day anymore. At 5'6" I hover around 125 and feel SO BLESSED to have found Intermittent Fasting after YEARS of fighting my weight!! Remembering my first diet drink, Fresca and 'meal' of cottage cheese and grapefruit! ICK! Wish I had this 'tool' back then!! God Bless you, Dr. Fung!!
Thanks for the hope Dr Fung. I do appreciate this TH-cam support.
I loved this video. I shared it with a friend before even watching it as I knew it would be great. She and I are going to support each other with our fasting journey. Thanks, Dr. Fung!!
A different angle on a huge topic, explained slightly differently, with great presentation skill....clever!!! Thanks again Dr Fung!
So true about having amazing days and bad days on this journey.
Be kind to yourslef and do not give up. This journey is just that....it's a journey.
You are doing all of us a big time favor, Dr.Fung..🙏🙏
Thank you very much, Dr. Fung!!! Much love and appreciate for your passion to help people. 💫 Blessings to you!
I am a huge fan Dr thank you for your gentle delivery of life changing information at zero cost to us.. every time I watch you I am reminded of the Dr in China who died from covid who gave his life to warn the world of this deadly virus. Much love and respect to you Sir.
Thanks!
I appreciate all that you’ve done and said over the years. Thanks for continuing. it is so helpful to me!
You have been inspiring me to keep on this journey that I have started 20 days ago of fasting... Thank you Dr Fung!! 💗
Thankyou dr Fung for bringing hope to lose weight without wasting our time , energy and money 🙏🙏
Thanks Doc! I always look forward to your chats. You’ve helped me and many others along this journey. Keto, fasting and listening to you along this journey I’ve lost (or left) over 100#’s, I’m off all my meds, and fully reversed my diabetes. I had a 9.2 A1C and have been 5.2 consistently over 3 years now. My Doctor was not very helpful or knowledgeable. It was a Godsend to find you. Prayers to you and your family!
Thank you I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks doing the 16/8 and cutting out all carbs. I feel great I have so much energy that I even stopped drinking coffee and energy drinks
Wow Dr Fung you're so great! I am about 6 weeks into fasting and a few things you said there just clicked with me. You are doing the most wonderful public service and I really wish all doctors were like you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank God I found this man. God bless you Mr. Fung.
Your work is the formula for disease control of many kinds!!! Thank you kindly 💪
Dr. Fung, your Fabulous! You’ve helped millions. I appreciate you so much.
I want to absolutely say thank you so much for all of your overall knowledge and your take and understanding on the subject of fasting for health ! Thank you so much and I hope to one day meet you Dr. Jason Fung.. bless you and your family .
Huge thanks to Dr Fung for his time effort and willingness to share his knowledge.Big Respect
Truly a man of the people.
Dr Fung I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. You have single handily encouraged me to start consistently fasting. You have given me the scientific information that allows me to understand my body more and I thank you!
Thank you Dr. Fung. These videos are so helpful. I have worked my way up to two 40 hour fasts per week. Vicki's reminder to enjoy the journey was great! Have a great week.
Dr Fung you saved my life.Thanks for your great service.I have all your books and I've learned a lot.
Thank you Dr Jason. Your lectures are so important to all us.Thanks for changing all of our lives for the better.
Perfect timing for me. Thanks for these little pearls of wisdom. Much appreciated.
Thank you Dr Fung! Really appreciate your honesty and easy to understand explanations both on your TH-cam videos and your books!
Thank you Again Dr Fung 🔥🔥🔥
I believe that, change takes time, but the journey never ends. health is wealth, so make good choices that benefit your body, so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor
Keep learning!
Dr Fung: Thanks so much for all you do . Awesome information . I have been eating too much after fasting thinking that was what I supposed to do .
Dr. Fung. You are the best. Learned so much from you. Life saving!
Love ya doc! I have all your books. But watching you talk about all the information here is just more reinforcement! 💓🙏💓
I watch to the end just to see your like button face!! Your videos are part of my support group, seriously!
Thank you so much Dr. Fung. Will definitely buy your books to show my appreciation.😊😊😊
I haven't fasted for about 30 years but I'm ready to do it again. I really appreciate these videos. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all your hard work, Dr. Fung.
I love how these videos end with inspiring success stories! Very helpful to new fasters like myself.
Very true even my wife who has supported all my decisions for 20 years did not like the sound of fasting and keto . So I did it anyway , I've gone from a daily mg/dl of 425 to around 140 in about 6 weeks not quite there and lbs. are coming off but very slow but I now have the thinking I won't kick the bucket anytime soon thanks for you're help .
Thank you Dr. Fung for inspiring millions to improve health and fitness God Bless you and your loved ones.
Amazing advice as always, I started very gently fasting this year , after only seeing up on the scales after dieting for so much of my life 3 kilos down for me with such small effort is such a liberating experience , I am so much more interested in the permanency of the journey than the speed ... good luck to you all
One day at a time ❤️
The most beneficial of these tips in my experience is the one about eating a low carb diet in combination with intermittent fasting. They perfectly compliment each other. Low carb eating makes fasting so much easier and more effective for weight loss, reducing insulin resistance and preventing and controlling diabetes.
Yes! I just started 16/8 IF last week with no sugary foods or bread/pasta/potatoes. I'm finding a little hunger much easier to deal with compared to carb cravings. I think this is finally a regimen that will stick.
@@josh34578 same here.. 3 weeks on and 15lbs gone.. lots more to go but it's so easy to stick to compared to every yoyo diet I've tried.. it's a lifestyle not a diet. Good luck to you!
Getting fat adapted is the key. Going whole food plant based and IF is the best. Carbs do not cause or exasperate type 2 diabetes its simply bc all the fat and processed crap we eat stops glucose from entering the cells leaving it trapped in the bloodstream. I am not saying keto or low carb will not drive down glucose levels, a1C, and even other markers like triglycerides. I am saying its like putting a band aid on the real issue however, because as soon as you reintroduce even a moderate amount of carbs your glucose levels will rise dramatically. WFPB mostly or clean veganism is just as difficult if not more difficult to follow than low carb, but if tour goal is a healthier LONG life thats clearly the way to go. Check blue zones where there are large amounts of centenarians or the largest percentages of populations living that long and you will find one common denominator......... ding ding ding ill give you a hint they are not low carb or low carb high fat dieters. They are all predominantly plant based and high carbohydrate. Also the only diet with sufficient CLINICAL research that has not only stopped but reversed heart disease. Take all this as you will, but research and you will see for yourselves. I love Dr Fung and will continue to IF and alternate day fast even though im off the low carb and keto ship. Although it is harder you can indeed still fast even for long periods without low carb. Fat adaptation is not dependent on a low carb diet and has been proved especially by bodybuilders who are already fit who carb cycle and eliminate anything for a cit just before a competition. Was 365 October 2019 and am now 300 although i did get down to 275 at my lowest around 4 months ago. Fell off an am trying a new approach going forward. Best of luck to everyone no matter how you get there!
@@aaronrender4867 Good luck to you too. WFPB with IF is a great diet and can be very effective for weight loss and improving your overall health. I find lower carb, higher fat to be best for me. It can be done vegan and vegetarian of course. It’s just a bit too restrictive for me. The key to healthful eating is real food. So much better for us than the very SAD consequences of the standard American diet.
@@faithjulian753 No doubt the combination of highly processed foods and the constant coupling of carbs and fats together led me to a morbidly obese state. I had high blood pressure and my a1C was 8.9. Triglycerides were over 500. Total Cholesterol was over 200. i really think i was on the verge of death. Went low carb and did some keto with IF but ate toms of veggies. Numbers drastically went down then slowly but as of earlier this month all markers are great even though i have put 25 of the pounds i lost back on. A1C down to 4.9 total cholesterol 104 amd Triglycerides 97. Only take 10 mg Lisinopril now. Lost the statin, metformin even though im trying to get it prescribed agian lol(see dr david sinclair) no more diuretic either. Im glad you found what works for you during this journey ive become enamored with diet, health, and the search for longevity’s secrets.
I am so happy I found your videos. With the help of your videos and the simple instructions you provided regarding how to fast . I went from Being 186 just last year august 2020 to now weighing 135 . Thanks and I've learned overall it's not hard to loose weight when you follow simple tips like you provide it becomes hard when the tip giving are confusing Thanks again
Thanks Dr Fung for these video tips. I particularly liked that you mentioning finding a support group. I went through the journey alone, found my eating window and made better food choices and achieved my results. Because my window of eating time and food choices, it was annoying to others in the household that I dont align with their eating schedule and constantly decline eating the food (carbs) they eat. I goto restaurants that dont have food options for me so I watch others eat, which is okay to me, but annoying to others in the group. These are the people who said I used to be too fat and ate too much. I am back to normal weight now, and most importantly healthy. Cannot be happier.
Thank you for this wonderful tips. This changed my lifestyle. I had my gastric bypass in 2016 but didn't lose since then. I know what to eat but the timing is not right. Now applying your IF, I was able to maximize weight loss. I've only started for less than a month but I can feel the great change. You are a blessing to a lot of people. Thank you very much.
Hi,thank you ,Dr.Fung. Last year I started my journey to become healthy.Very effective for me.

Mahlzeit und guten Hunger! 😁
I have been dry fasting twice a week for 13 hours for the last 3 weeks spiritual physical mental and emotional benefits are amazing
Dr Fung thank you so much for this wonderful videos. I started fasting 4 months ago. I lost 10 pounds. I'm so happy. My next doctor appointment is soon and I'm looking forward to see if my lab results change, I'm sure they do change. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much, Dr Jason Fung ! A great doctor indeed !
Loved the refrigerator/freezer analogy. I'm just started adopting intermittent fasting lifestyle for weight loss and hopefully maintenance of my metabolism. Your videos really help. I have been worried about trying to consume more calories when I'm not fasting. Thank you for your information. I will "keep it normal" Knowing that I don't need to "re-feed my body "
👍👍👍🎷🎷🎷💪💪💪
Thank you! This video cleared up a question of mine: how much should I eat after a fast. I started a low-carb diet two months ago and got into fasting a week ago. I let myself go as long as I could without feeling lethargic and when I do, I will feed. I Thanks to the low carb diet, I found it very easy to go on a fast for 24-48 hours. But I was forcing myself to eat more than I normally would ( until my stomach hurts slightly) because I thought I needed it so that my body can function during my fast. I will try to eat a normal portion meal after my current fast and see how it goes!
Thank Dr.fung, you are always my inspiration 🙏
Was trying IF and failing miserably, then 2 weeks ago found Dr Fung videos. Subscribed and I have learnt a lot since, am following his teaching to the letter. Here for health and longevity, losing my extra 10kgs will be a bonus
Thank you Dr.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Thank you Dr. Fung for your teaching in all your videos!
Thank you sooooooo much Dr. I am almost heald know. I started in November und I am now by 7,5. The rest, I will make it also. Without you, I should/would have been remained diabetic forever.
Thank you Dr Fung! I saw you several years ago explain this so easy and I got rid of 23lbs
Hi Jason - I totally thank you for you input in the world - I saw your video about financial conflicts of interest and the end of evidence based medicine a few weeks ago and I am so impressed. And this video also is so kind and straight forward. Thanks for your work in the world.
Dr. Fung, what a profound difference you are making in so many lives. Sincere thanks. I can't believe the amount of BS, lies and misinformation circulating on the interwebs these days, especially about ketogenic and fasting lifestyle. My latest gasp: "fasting" bars you EAT while fasting 😒
Thank you from Belarus!
I love the fridge/freezer analogy. It makes it SO clear.
Dr. Fung you have hit the the keynote about modern medicine and this is revolutionary thank you!
So so good, we need to just train our body to go and get the food from our internal fridge, and we should not act as if fasting is this big alien thing; it should actually be the norm.
Thank you so much, just the right timing for me!
How somebody can dislike this videos? I will never understand this....
They don’t want to fast! 😂 I know I have family members that hate fasting.
I bet they are his jealous competitors in the field.
Hence the reason I...stay mum...
Fear and lack of understanding
Some people think fasting is a horrible idea. Most of the time it's because they haven't tried it. It's not scary and it's not unhealthy to do this at all.
I love the advice you give in this segment video Dr Jason Fung!! My kids and I follow you and share the information we find that gives us an extra boost to be successful in our fasting and weight loss. My daughter went through the pandemic pregnant and found it difficult to lose weight when still staying at home. My son and I gained extra weight through the pandemic for a variety of reasons. Now though we are all finding hope and encouragement from different areas, one being intermittent fasting, to take back control of our emotional, mental and physical health. Thank you!! 😃❤️👍🏼
Dr ,you are just amazing
