hello Dr Fung... i have a terrible hunger problem and when it hits i HAVE TO eat, it can happen anywhere from 2 - 4 hours after the last time i ate... and if i fast 24 hours, i fall down and hurt myself the next morning with HUGE nausea to go with it... i so badly want to lose weight, but i don't know how, i've tried everything, help!!?!?!?!?
@@elaineremains
I am not a medical doctor or studied diets etc just did business school
However I had similar issues starting off
Consider fermented foods , add pickles olives sauerkrauts and kefir drink and if you can handle some apple cider vinegar with honey before bedtime
The issue was a gut issue the processed foods sugars etc the bad microbes is dominant over the good a skew in the balance now it takes a month or two before the re balancing and replinishing of the good microbes and the hunger naturally curbs ,the issue is an abortion issue hence the hunger cravings so early after meals
On the fasting take baby steps when I started I barely did eight hours then I would drink or eat some low carb foods like pickles nuts steam veggies with butter and continue the fast
It just the buildings blocks
If you suffer after twenty four hours you may need to take more baby steps
God 🙏 bless and all the success

I have been here for 6 months and lost 33 pounds
I'm here 😅
Just lost 60 pounds with 18~6 fasting hi fat low carb. Very easy, pants falling off. Feel fantastic. Thank you Jason.
How long did it take to lose 60 lbs with IF?
I’m on day 7 of a 40-day water fast.
@@HoodieSource how is the water fast going is it draining?
@@Premium_Water After the first 3 days, I got all of my energy back. Monday will be Day 30. Around 40lbs lost. Feel great.
@@HoodieSourcewow!
We're fasting not only because we want to lose weight but also to develop our self-discipline, self control and self-respect. Those aspects are REALLY important. Best of luck to all of you!😍
You can get cured by Doctor Oseiwe on TH-cam with his harbal medicine,🌿🌿🌿 to cure Diabetes and some other disease permanently.🌿..
Been reciting these words for some time….
Self discipline is the highest form of self love!
Your words are truth to my ears!
Yes and for spiritual breakthrough

@Sharon Thompson Same, here!!!
I inadvertently helped my 300 lb elderly husband with dementia fast and improve his labs. Because of his dementia, he would sleep 16 hours or more. I feed him when he wakes up (and I often wake him up at 16 hours). Of course I watch his carbs because he is a type 2 diabetic. And recently I have been able to put him on the porch (for sunshine...natural vitamin D in addition to the D I give him).
After a year, we finally got into his Dr and his A1c was 6.1 and cholesterol was down 300 pts (without a statin). It was unintentional but now I am doing in intentionally!
He had gotten more alert, holds his urine better and is stronger! Who knew?
That is so sweet of you I wish him speedy recovery and God bless your union
I am a 53 year old man that just completed my first ten days of intermittent fasting and lost 17lbs. Thanks so so much Dr Fung.
A huge smount of that is water loss from depleted glycogen.. over 10 days you probably had a deficit of 20,000-25,000 kcal or about 6-7lbsof fat and muscle but mostly fat.
@@steveshea7725There is quite a bit of glucose attached to the water loss during fasting, so the water loss is a good thing.
I have done it for 3 weeks and only lost 3 pound 😢
Sometimes other factors may affect weight loss such as hormones or diabetes. @@littleangel8955
That great but did you drink coffee
This man's demeanor is so kind
I have tried every "diet" in the world. I started fasting May 6 of this year and I'm not sure how much I have lost - but it is surely over 20 pounds and maybe 30. I am down to my high school size and in junior sizes. I'm 70 years old and am pre-diabetic. Haven't had my blood work yet, but I believe it will be much better. I will eat this way forever. I was snacking all day long prior to starting the fasting - I felt sluggish and tired. Plus with grocery prices and eating only once a day - I'm saving a lot of money!
I’ve had a similar experience. I’m 53 and lost 30 lbs by fasting about 18 hrs a day from around 8/9 PM till around 2/3 PM. I also follow Weight Watchers points. I’m 5’1” and weigh 114. Size 1/3 juniors. I feel like a teenager! Good luck with your continued success!!
@@meriharary Congrats Meri - I feel so much better since I lost the weight. I have to say, if a person doesn't have willpower, this probably won't work for them.
Hope your pre diabetes has gone away🙂
@@mindyourbusiness302 I won't know till next year when I get my blood work done - I hope so too! Plus I drink cinnamon tea before I eat and that may help also.
Congratulations but I also came here to laugh about the grocery prices. They're insane
Thank you Dr. Fung for your excellent advice & info! I am a 37 year old 6 feet tall man from Louisiana, USA. Your online videos saved & improved my life! I suffered with obesity since childhood and tried countless diets but always regained. Until finding your videos and starting 20-4 intermittent fasting on 9/22/21 on that very day I found your videos. In about 14 months, I've dropped from 362 to currently 205, 157 pounds & still losing. My ultimate goal is to be near 150 pounds or somewhere between 150-175 I think will be most comfortable for my body. This is a true transformation and I have learned things about myself that I never knew during this journey. Thank you again for all you've done and continue to do. Best wishes.
Also, cut down on sugars and carbohydrates. Do not eliminate, just cut back.
Well done Marcus ❤️👌🏽 I’m on day 3 of doing OMAD, I’ve 20kg to loose.
👏
Well done
Congratulations!!! 🎊🎉
His first statement just made me love him. We are here to learn from each other and we need to help each other ❤️
I get happy just seeing his face.
He is the cutest... and smart.🥰
On behalf of ALL Humanity Doctor Fung... Thank you for your service to this world. You are a great man.
Thank you for having the passion and curiosity for your craft to go deeper and see the truth in what had been overlooked for far too long.
Thank you for having the bravery to spread this truth and speak out even when your voice must have shook.
Above all else thank you for caring so much about the human race and showing us how to heal from the propaganda, deception and processed GARBAGE FOOD we are force fed by the media & "experts" about how to eat a "healthy" "balanced" "diet".
SO EXCITED for this!!
You said it best, Cheryl.
❤️
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Well said!
Hear hear, u took the words out of my brain
I've been doing Keto and following IF for about 6 weeks. I've lost 13lbs. I usually follow 18:6 or as close to it as I can. It's changed my relationship with food completely. I don't have cravings or bloating, and if I feel weak I watch documentaries about processed food or obesity. It really helps and hoping for more results as time goes on. It is truly a mind Vs belly battle.
Thanks for the tip!
Do you exercise?
Did you see results from the first week?
Male, 55. I lost 50lbs in 12 weeks eating one-meal-a-day (OMAD), 248 down to 198. My goal weight is 175lbs so only 23lbs to go!
Did you do exercise
Absolutely works, I lost 62lbs during covid, I also walked almost daily for about an hour. Best I have ever done for myself.
Wow well done that is awesome!
That’s great! What schedule did you do?
@Frey Feked great work! Thanks for your testimony. This is something I saw as a Trainer.
I was telling people to do what I was told in University and I was not doing those things, I was eating for my activity and eating when I was hungry.
It very hard for my clients to lose.
Some folks in fitness industry guilt the Trainers into Not to show things that help. They only encourage what you were told in school.
They'd say 'you are going to get in a lawsuit if you say something other than what University told you"
Great to hear! Many congrats!!
That's great! CONGRATULATIONS!

Is it any wonder why profit organizations--the government to corporations--isn't interested in the health benefits of these things?
@@fredhubbard7210
I’m a huge fan of profit.
Everything I own I bought and someone made a profit. But I see your point.
It’s both and not either or
Amen!
Thank you Dr. Fung!! I’m down 45 lbs in 6 months. Have another 100 to go, but it’s going well.
That's a significant weight loss. Good for you.
Did you achieve it
Can you please give some good meals when you do break your fast ? Thankyou !!
I found your video explaining insulin resistance. I am one of those that medication, metformin, was no longer working and my doctor wanted to put me on insulin. Since January I could not bring my sugar levels below 200. So for one week I tried your fasting method and my sugar levels are normal. I slowly got off metformin and I feel mentally better, plus so much more.. thank you Dr. Fung. You have given me hope and I'm so much happier 💗
It was Doctor Oseiwe who cured me from Diabetes and Asthma, you can also get in touch with him on TH-cam channel Doctor Oseiwe, if you need help and be cured completely🇬🇧🇬🇧""
@@johncomfort9161 I'm not overweight. I know that the medications & wrong eating caused the insulin resistance, memory loss, neuropathy on my feet. Now I am feeling so much better; memory sharper, stomach not hurting, neuropathy on feet has no more pain and so much more.
Same thing with me ..I am not going on any insulin
Please be aware metformin depletes VitB12. Check your B12 with an Active B12 test. Not a serum test.
This man has literally changed my eating habits and life, Thank you Dr. Fung!
Mine too
Me too - he is brilliant - as are his books
that is not the case unless he is yr father and you have to obey his rules. You choose to try out his advice
Thank you Dr Fung Fasting has changed my life After losing over 100lbs in 5 months I realized When it comes to weight-loss so many people want quick results so they easily give up. When you gained all that weight, it didn't happen over night . its the same when losing your weight. Never give up. Stick to your goal and Be Patient with yourself 🔥🔥🔥
@@fittaku hi I am trying to lose weight while fasting can you please guide me with your experience.. can we eat carbs on our eat days or should we do only keto
I have lost around 6 kgs after reading the obesity code about 3 months back and by fasting alone, thank you doctor.
R u in keto,,or fasting alone u lost 6kg.
Vegetarian or non vegetarian
I am not on keto, I am a non vegetarian and by fasting alone and adding 20-30 % protein in diet really helps. I have stopped packed foods completely, I try to get locally available food. I fast for 4-5 days a week for 24 hrs from dinner to dinner with water and tea/coffee without any kind of sweeteners. Other 2 days I have what I want. Monthly I try to do 48 or 72 hrs fasting once or twice. That's it.
Have you lost 6kg during the past 3 months or in less time.?
@@marcelasanchez6681 I started the audio book obesity code on 28th aug. And month later again read the complete guide to fasting and from then on, So I guess from then I started trying fasting so about 3 months
..
@@rajivdalal-stockmarkettalk7687 great
I don’t know who needs to hear this but I lost 12 lbs in 20 days following Dr Jung’s videos
He is a blessing !
What was the fasting times
I only lost 3 lbs in 3 weels on 16:8 and eating less than 1000 calories a day. 😢
@@littleangel8955 Hi, I would suggest eating more calories. You may be in starvation mode with even 1000 calories a day. Good luck!
It is the same for me during first 2-3 weeks, but then fat loss goes faster. It is important to continue for good results
Suuure you did.
I started fasting by accident, and after that first 24 hours I felt amazing! Mood went up, energy was better so far from October 14 to today Nov 5 I have lost a total of 20 lbs. That is a little over 3 weeks. I’m doing OMAD & it’s awesome not to think about food & my choices are much healthier. I hope to keep this habit & make it part of my lifestyle on the long run! (No exercise up to this point but will start taking walks now that weather is nice)
That's amazing!! Could you share what your OMAD looks like?
Where are you now
Plus the savings in groceries!
***Thank you Dr. Fung! I LOST 44lbs during Covid!! Its not a diet it is my Lifestyle!!****

Thanks very much!
Amazing! In awe!
@@lovingcarestudio Very simple, I stop eating at 7:00pm , I resume at noon the next day. Fridays I eat at noon and resume at noon on Saturday :)
As a child of the 60’s, we did have the habit of dinner at 6:00 with no food usually after dinner. Most people then were thin.
Those days most kids either did sports or worked. Now in days celulars and video games, Netflix etc etc are killing us.
@@wolfheart2443 But most of the People WANT it like that, otherwise they could simply stop it!
@@kega6487 True. Comfort zone.
Yeah, my parents only eat fresh meals at home, two or three times at day, mainly because they were poor, walk everywhere, and they looked like runway models 😱 And we, their children that grow up in abundance, are fat and sick 😢 I'm working hard on became healthy and happy 🙂
@@Edith.G.G. You're right, me too... I'm overweight since I was 20... It's not only the Soft Drinks, the Carbs, the Fat, it's the Combination of all that with nearly NO Body Movement, Sports, Walking etc....
I started fasting about 16:8 spring of last year. I’m so grateful I did this for myself. I’ve lost around 85 lbs. I’m fluctuating the last few months due to both knees replaced and needing to increase my protein intake for healing and giving my body only good stuff. I see myself reaching for a homemade yogurt parfait with about 24 grams of protein and I add fresh berries with raspberries being my favorite. I feel so much better than ever. I’m joining the channel and look forward to seeing more of your advice on nutrition and fasting.
Down 62 lbs in 6 months by fasting and eating plant based diet. Cholesterol 114. Thank you Dr Fung!!!!
I’ve found it super easy to lose excess weight by fasting, just a couple of days, and then basically one meal a day afterwards. “Dieting” makes me hungry and it’s a chore to calculate amounts. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Did you workout as well?
I started 16:8 fasting since 1 Nov by skipping dinner, intake less carbohydrate and sugar, long walk 4 days a week, lost 10 lbs. in a month. I feel good and will continue this habit, thanks Dr. Fung.
Glad to hear someone fasting dinner instead of breakfast. I’m thinking about fasting this way as well
I skip dinner I eat alot breakfast time,drink coffee tea if I feel hungry,its help me to stop crabing hard food,if I eat I always think I'm gonna fat again hqhaha, 😅🙃🙂🤪
I started the snake diet, I did not slowly get into a fast, I just did my first 48 hours and only drank salty water. I lost 10 pounds in under a week and I refilled by eating more green than protein. I stopped my fast weight loss but I restarted another 48 hours to see how much I can drop in another few days. Whatever works and how you do it is up to you. I messed up the day before and did not drink enough salty water, so I was slow and light headed until I broke my fast and ate…remember to drink water!
@@jenniferblack9332 I too find it easier to skip dinner instead of breakfast. I stopped eating after my lunch at 2 pm till breakfast next day at 8 am. Hope it is ok
Dr Fung, it’s great that we have doctors like you that dedicate your time to actually help people. Keep up the good work, it always pays
Thank you Dr. Fung for making these free videos. I've learned so much and it keeps me motivated on my weightloss journey.
I’ve been intermittent fasting since June
I started slowly
Now I have a routine I’m used to and feel better than I have in years
I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week
On my work days I do 16:8
On my days off, I do OMAD and work out in a fasted state
Once a week I do a 24-48 hour fast
I have lost 66 pounds so far. From 226 to 160. Wanting to lose 10 more pounds.
Loving your videos!
I eat once a day and I don't feel like I'm starving. Some hunger or craving feelings are in the mind, because of learned habits.
I've been doing OMAD for years and I only get hungry once a day so I don't really consider it to be fasting.
Hi I want to start omad, how do I manage with all nutrients in one meal a day
@@roopad3765 Well, you just eat a really big meal. Also the concept of nutrient density is important. This is how many nutrients per calorie a food has. The most nutrient dense foods on earth are animal foods.
@@roopad3765 I eat everyother day. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I give myself an hour eating window. Fast the weekend. I eat each meal untill I am comfortably stuffed. The meal consists of a ribyee, liver, bacon and eggs. I feel amazing and the weight is melting off my body!! Carnivore is amazing!!!
@@robinbeers6689 thank you
31 year old here. First time on a water fasting and I’m 59 hours in and I honestly feel great. I’ve lost weight before but couldn’t keep it off. I wish I would of known about this method 5 years ago. This feels like a lifestyle
Dr Fung is such an amazing human being. Lucky the people who have him in their life.
Dr Fung your changed my life 3 years ago when they diagnosed me with diabetes and wanted me on insulin. I refused to take that as my new way if life. I found your on you tube and lost weight and lowers my numbers to prediabetic. I am back now watching because now I want to learn to fast to lose more weight not just stay out of risk but also lose weight. Thank for thinking the unconventional way. My doctor was so astonished when I came to my follow with my bag of meds closed and I told her I never took them. And congratulated me and was amazed of what I was able to do she was even teary. Thank you again!
I lost my mum because of unhealthy diet...she was diabetic..depressed and gone after eating all sweets....😥
Great..PLS share how U did
Thank you for bringing this to your doctor’s attention. Maybe more doctors will start recommending fasting instead of writing prescriptions 🙏
Amazing. Now your doctor will probably take this into account as a first measure before he provides meds!
Probably shocked because patients dont comply with anything or make any changes.
I read your book several times and lost 110 lbs 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dr. Fung has that charisma and exudes confidence. Thank you sir!
Thank you sir. I started six weeks ago plus I ride a bicycle daily. I'm happy with my results and will definitely continue. I'm doing the one meal a day fast every day.
This man changed my life. 41 and leaner than I was in high school. In the best shape of my life.
That lady in the video looks like a Mother Daughter picture not a before after, wow! That's encouraging alone, seeing that visual!!! Good for her! I'm next!
I cheer you on. Fasting is excellent. I was never able to do it till i started healing metabolically using ketosis then I started naturally feeling less hunger which evolved into intermittent fasting 12, 16, 20 hrs. It definitely has improved my life. I hope to train my body to get better at fasting. For me it takes time to make it a sustainable practice training my body to be at peace and using stored fat for fuel when I’m not eating thanks to ketosis. I want to learn more and more about fasting because it makes me feel great.
Exactly, looks like a pic mother & daughter.
This is true for me. I feel much better after 3 days of fasting. No body pain and I feel like I have more energy during my fasting period. This is the reason why I decided to continue my IF.
It always takes me a good 3 days to come down off of a sugar/carb binge. Then my energy and creativity comes back.
Listening to “The Obesity Cody” on audible. I have to say I feel SO amazing after fasting. I fast daily, usually 18/6. However when I perform a 24 hour fast, I feel absolutely amazing. Thank you Dr.
What works to lose weight is half the story; helping eating addiction and emotional eating is a huge, difficult component of the process.
If you start fasting, you'll soon feel that you have control over you eating habits and also over the rest of your live. I experienced it.
I agree. I was a emotional binge eater. I practiced subconscious journalling to treat binge urges/cravings and it helped immensely with the emotional stuff that caused this eating disorder. When I started intermittent fasting I would also journal throughout when those challenging thoughts & emotions came up that could trigger a binge. It didn't take long for the cravings and bing urges to stop and now I eat two meals a day and I'm no longer a prisoner to chocolate and crisps! Wanted to share this tip as I know it was hard for me to change my relationship and habits with food. I hope you find success. Remember to love yourself and be compassionate to yourself no matter what or how you eat. Much love.
Thank you for sharing definitely needed this 🙏💪
I was an emotional eater! I found that improving my spiritual life with God, and going to therapy, has helped tremendously.
You are the best. We need real doctors like you who believe in the truth. Thank you.
Dr. Fung, A friend just told me about you. I am listening now. I think you are dynamite! I will hunt for your books. May GOD BLESS YOU FOR HELPING PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF!
Thank you Dr. Fung. Your book The Diabetes Code helped my husband a lot in controlling his blood sugar. We started your protocol early of 2020. To this date he is off medication. He is doing well with his carbohydrates intake. Though he eats some carbs once in a while but his blood sugar is always in control. Triglyceride dropped from constant 300-350, to 205.
Im doing again 24hour fasting, since I was off for a couple of months. I had gas pain again after meal, but when I started fasting all is back to normal. God Bless you and thank you Dr. Fung. More power🙂🙂
I love these videos .. he makes everything so simple & doesn’t over complicate anything.. really helpful. Thank you Dr Fung !!!
I do the fasting & low carb for 4 years ( w a pregnancy in the middle). I’m back to my normal weight and I highly recomend it. I just can’t eat the “normal” food anymore. After 4 years with a new life I just dont care about pastas, bread, swewts, etc Now I feel like I have the control of my life.
Wow, that is amaze. Not just weight loss, but living a life not wracked by cravings, sugar lows, blah blah. You're a great ad for it!
Max ive done is 4 days. I am currently aiming for a 7 day fast and im on day 5🎉. Such an incredible journey for my weight loss. Ive loss 40lbs since the birth of my last born
I have been struggling with my weight for a long time and turned to intermittent fasting about 5 years ago. Before doing it I had begun to feel sick and tired every time I ate, especially at traditional breakfast time. In other words, every time I ate I felt ill and I knew that couldn't be right. I was showing up as prediabetic for years. By beginning intermittent fasting, eating between 12 - 8 PM I felt much better when eating and my weight stabilized. However, I remained a solid 60 lbs overweight
With the pandemic, I then became dangerously sedentary and I know something has to change. This guidance has helped me see that I haven't made enough of an adjustment in the quality of the foods I eat and the quantity of carbohydrates. Also, this information regarding water fasting has helped me to understand I should be adding some measure of salt to my water to add electrolytes. I also found a company that sells electrolytes that are sugar-free and I will use that for my upcoming fast.
For the first time in my life, I have reasonable and approachable guidance for fasting. (I used to fast for religious reasons but was doing so as a child and now understand that was too young to do so.)
This is the start of my fasting journey to change my health for the better. Thank you Dr. Fung for your guidance.
I've been doing OMD for almost a year now, walking 4 - 6 km instead of eating lunch on my break, do weights 5 x a week and now T2D free. There is no need to eat 3x day, warm water is all I I have until my breakfast at 5 or 6 PM. THANK YOU Dr. Fung for all your insightful videos & interviews 👍👍👍
I love the advice of making fasting a habit even if it’s just a 12 hour fast.
12 hours is nothing. Ur sleeping for about 7 or 8....
@@RawDogTV ???
@@RawDogTV yeah but it’s a start for most people. If you can do 12 hours you can easily add on more hours
@@Lostinmyhead23 Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's phychologically helpful and encouraging or factually accurate for that other commenter to say 12 hours is nothing. It's not nothing, it's literally something!!! Lol. 12 hours is much better than no hours at all.
Also, like you said, it could also serve as a springboard to increase your fast even more down the line.
@@RawDogTV how many hours are the optimal?
Thank you for sharing not only for weight loss, but health benefits as well. This gives me so much hope for my beginning weight loss journey.
Thank you Dr. Fung... you educate, you motivate, and you certainly left me better than I was when I found you! Bless you 🙏
Jason, thank you SO much for your work. I have been studying/researching Health/Nutrition for years and I can say there is NOTHING as powerful as fasting. I have never been fat, I have the same BMI 23 for the last 53 years, I am 71 now, swimmers body.
You got me interested in intermittent fasting a couple of years ago. I had experienced several times fasting for some days up to 7 days.
I.F. was something sort of new for me when I started watching your videos a couple years ago. And I became an Int. Fasting person since then.
It works better than any other health practice I have tried, and there have been many.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung. I followed your method and read your book "The Diabetes Code" and started 16:8 intermittent fasting since 19 November. After 11 days of low carb high fat and intermittent fast I had lost 3kg weight and I feel better. I have T2 Diabetes and hope to reverse it in near future. I love all your video and lectures btw. You have changed my live for the better. Thank you again.
Dr. Fung, I appreciate your dedication to helping all of us who fast. You share great information, & I feel more inspired to continue my journey to better health with each video.
Thank you Jason you are truly helping a lot of people including me! God bless you sir❤️
It is so nice the way that he explains that there is no need for a rigid schedule...all just nice advice.
Yes, I never found "breaking rules" of some of the fasts changed anything. Too much yes, but not little things.
Yes!
My 5 year old son listen to his body more and naturally does it. He skips breakfast cause he says it makes him feel good. He never liked eating breakfast.
Wow! What a intelligent mind he has already at 5 years old
My granddaughter did the same because she hated school breakfast
We, as a society, totally condition chIldren to ignore their body signals. You are smart to let him just listen to his body. My husband and I strive to do the same with our kids.
My teenagers naturally fast. They don't eat breakfast because it is to early for them. They hate school lunch so skip it. But watch out when they get home. I always have a big meal for them when they get home.
This is one of the few videos on intermittant fasting that I found very easy to follow, without getting bored or intimidated with all the biochemical terminology and other complexity. I am 60 pounds overweight and classified as obese. I have wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on diet programs, only to find myself losing and regaining the weight,, a little bit more each time. I was about to give up, and then I found this video. Hope it will help me.
Thank you Dr Fung. You are changing lives daily!!!
This guy is a multimillionaire and uses a bedsheet as his background frame. I appreciated he great content and lack of razzle dazzle. Happy I purchased your book and to see your online content.
Its actually an ancient Chinese silk screen worth over $100k

It’s a curtain.
You made my day 😁
I absolutely love the beginning, where you say we are here to help each other. I absolutely believe in your mission of helping others! Thank you! I love recommending you!
Cut snacks and sugar and went to a 2MAD with a 18-6 fasting and a 1 hr swim daily, and have consistently lost 1.5-2 Lbs / week. Weighed in at 295 and now down to 215 within a year. Sugar reduction was very effective in reducing inflammation and improving an arthritis condition. I found it easy to adapt to a new ritual. Not Keto but slow carbs and watching the level of foods on the glycemic scale. Researched insulin resistance and have now been on the journey to trend from pre-diabetic to normal glucose / blood levels. Never realized how important insulin was to losing weight until doing the research. Daily exercise combined with a better diet has drastically improved my fatty liver condition. The next challenge will be rectifying loose skin which is a by product of the weight loss but that takes time.
Always an encouragement seeing your videos. (especially on getting back to 24~36 hrs fasting schedule)
What a wonderful tutorial! No wasted words very clear. I am just begun intermittent fasting. I am enjoying it so much and the discipline that I am using towards my eating has spilled over into the other areas of my life. I feel in control of my life I don't feel deprived and I've lost at least 10 lb in the past 6 weeks and much swimmer through the waist
Thank you Dr Fung for showing a kinder and more humane way for people to lose weight. Your method, science and audiobook has helped my Mum so much, she thinks you should get a Humanitarian Award and I agree! Thank you ☺️
I bought a copy of The Obesity Code that I keep in my lunch bag at work and read (and reread) every break. I work at a hospital & when coworkers ask how I’ve gotten thin in the past year-despite Covid-I pull out the book for show and tell. Thanks Dr Fung-I recommend everything you have written (yowzers!!)
Thank you Doctor for ' breaking away from the crowd' and for searching for the very best for your patients. I greatly admire your passion to be a great physician and researcher. We laypeople give you a standing ovation! Best wishes. Barbara👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🌺🌺🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love fasting. Once I get through a few rough spots, I actually feel optimal in a fasting state, my brain has more clarity.
After listening to your previous lectures I am 2 weeks 4 days in fasting. I follow omad. I feel, sleep better. I love the feeling. I do not intend to stop anytime soon.
What videos have you watched
@@PlaywithDaisy no, one meal a day (omad) fasting for 2 weeks 4 days
Thank you Dr Jason, for a very simple and easy explanation on fasting for beginners. Be blessed
I love that you make all of this about sharing, caring and helping each other 🤗
Thank you Dr Fung. You have made a big difference to me. Fasting has been a game changer - Lost 14Ibs so far.
Thank you Dr. Fung for all the information you provide and the courage to tell people about the science behind fasting. I am over 65 and after getting your book have done 3,7,10 and 18 day water fasts under my doctor's supervision. I feel great and have a lot of energy.
I’m on my 8th week of intermittent fasting and my blood sugar is getting better. I lost less than 10 lbs and my blood works are good. Thank you so much Dr. Fung, God Bless You!!!! and your family.

Living a fasting focused lifestyle is unbelievably flexible - eat and fast, zero calories counting. Best diet plan ever!!
240 lbs from 280lbs . It is working. Thank you
Thank-You Dr Fung
I am most grateful for the abundance of information you are so graciously giving....Your time given will not be in vain...please continue sharing, you are helping many...🥣🥛
Have watched and shared so many of your speeches and presentations, IF has been a game changer for me as well
Fell off the fasting wagon for the past year, thank you for helping me again ....
As a Catholic, fasting for both natural and supernatural reasons is life changing, as Dr. Fung alluded. Did a long water only fast last year-- 40 days, ate for a week, then felt inspired to re-start the fast (with doctor's permission) for 27 more days during the Holy season of Lent until Easter. The physical and spiritual benefits were incredible.
Just remember not to pray to saints.😉
@@jayb.8460 I talk to my friends, the Saints, everyday, especially Jesus' Mom, Mary, the Glorious Virgin Mother of God, and His earthly adopted Dad, the great St. Joseph. They're all great friends-- can't wait to meet them in the flesh in heaven after this short life. You should give them a call sometime yourself-- don't even need a phone to do so! Just start talking to them.... they'll hear, they're with God...He gives them the messages!
Hi did you know that JESUS fasted 40 days and hands us the victory you may read the desire of ages by Ellen g white best book written next to the bible on the life of JESUS. Every thing is about His victory giving us the victory. Please be careful not to damage your body temple beyond repair ❤❤❤
@@sheepseven7588 Our Lord is the model of fasting! What Dr. Fung and the experience of fasting shows is that fasting HELPS, doesn't hurt, the body. Certainly been by experience. Blessed Easter to you. Jesus is TRULY Risen, Alleluia! And He remains with us, as He said, in the Sacrament of His Body and Blood. The Risen Lord!
@Blessed Virgin Mary Is Queen I'm sorry you are confused on what Jesus teaches. And I'm also sorry you don't practice what he preaches. I don't understand hiw you can put a person on the same level as God. That's really sad.
Jason, your books have been a life changer for me. My coach Mary McDaniels recommended your books and I am so glad I have read them, beginning with the Obesity Code. Thanks!
Lost 55 lbs in 70 days. Dr fung has changed my life
Thai’s AWESOME!! Congratulations keep up the great work! ❤️
Wow! That’s gr8
Congratulations 👏 Dr Fung Changed my life too I lost over 100lbs in 5 months during the COVID 19
Can I get any tips I did a 10 day water fast. And followed it with intermediate fasting on a keto diet. But only have lost 8 pounds in total after 3 weeks 3 days. Initially I lost 16 then when I went back to eating I gained some back. And have gradually lost some to were I started at 194 I'm at 186 at this point. Apparently it's super hard for me to loss weight. I'm also on a 1400 calorie intake and less then 20 gms of carbs.
@@gloriamendoza4264 everyone loses at their own pace but their are factors like age. Check this guy out too, th-cam.com/video/njM2swbICYg/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoy fasting. Thank you Dr. Fung for teaching us that Fasting is Natural and Great for our bodies.❤
Just wanted to thank you for making these videos and helping so many people for free. You are an angel. :)
Thank you for your works. The intermittent fasting change my life I was unable to change my weight for to long even if I was in the military, that was the method that give me the power to loose weight as required. Now, this is my way to eat. Thank you. Ps. I was 287 lbs and I was able to drop at 190 in a year and I did it with a schedule of a big meal a day
Thank you for making fasting so approachable and doable 🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Fung, you're at the forefront of a real revolution about how people think of food. You were my first intro into a ketogenic, as opposed to an Atkins style of eating as well as I.F. It's a game changer, and you're a blessing.
A few years back you inspired me with your insights on the topic. Huge thank you ! Knowledge is power
Already see results amazing!!!! 1 week in no bloating and belly fat is going away.
Hey @Toronto. I’m in the GTA. Wondering how you’re doing a month in. I’m a week in and happy with results but want faster results. Ha!
Thank you for this. I Fast every day. I have fasted for the past 4 years. Feels great. I start at 12- 1 and second meal at 6:pm. Feels great. I am also Vegan for a 1year and a half. All is well.
Thanks so much for you. I lost 11kg in 11 weeks by intermittent fasting. I have cream in n my coffee even when fasting. Love from Australia
Thank You Dr. Jason ! I am going to start Intermittent fasting from May 22nd, 2021.
Hi Dr. Fung, I really really love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Thank you Dr. Fung, you are a “disruptor” in weight loss medicine. In my opinion the most important information you convey is why fasting is safe for healthy adults.
@James Hama very well thank you, and you?
Thank you Dr. Fung. I have read your two books and those of other authors. It has really changed the way I look at eating. Already two months and very good results. Thanks again :)
This is my first day of fasting (16/8 ) 🤟😊🤟
