On Today's Episode:
Not understanding hormones and calories is leading more of us to metabolic problems than a little bit. Unfortunately, losing weight and having healthier blood glucose levels isn’t as simple as eating less and restricting calories. To make matters worse, fasting, although a popular method of weight loss and health, is a lot more complicated than not eating.
In this we have experts such as Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and Mike Mutzel sharing their insights and research on how to approach fasting for weight loss and improved metabolic health.
Dr Jason Fung is a nephrologist and the co-founder of the Fasting Method program which has helped millions of people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes. Unlike many nephrologists, Dr Fung supports and encourages the education of diabetes and weight loss being possible through intermittent fasting. He’s a NY Times bestselling author and respected voice on fasting, weight loss, nutrition, and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center. His clinic focuses on healing patients through plant based vegan diets, and clinical fasting. Dr Goldhamer is also the author of The Pleasure Trap, Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness.
Mike Mutzel is a functional medicine consultant in the natural product industry. He’s obsessed with evidence-based natural medicine and is the author of the Bell Fat Effect. Mike is also the founder of High Intensity Health.
QUOTES:
“It's not just about the calories, it’s about the hormones.” Dr. Jason Fung
“You can’t burn body fat if insulin is high.” Dr Jason
“If you fast and exercise you actually lose more weight but more of it is lean tissue. If you fast and rest you mobilize predominantly fat and specifically visceral fat.” Dr Alan Goldhamer
“Drinking too much water can flush your electrolytes out and result in water intoxication.” Dr. Alan Goldhamer
“I’m not really concerned about fat loss as the best proxy for health.” Mike Mutzel
“Have the carbohydrate commence with the activity.” Mike Mutzel

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!
I kind of figured when you started contacting me on Twitter about crypto.
I guess that already happened? Thank you for the advice and thank you for your wonderful work. I appreciate it
No it is you tom, stop it please you are stalkiing me 🤪
Yes Tom, we know.....the scammers WILL get what is coming to them!
Damn TH-cam bots.
I hate when people will tell me after they hear I’m fasting, “oh you’ll gain it all back, it doesn’t work”. It does work if you stick to it but falling back into old habits will always derail a person.
even to gain it all back its gonna take so many days of uncontrollable binge eating, i fasted for 10 days and i was eating non stop for 2 whole months to gain it all back.
With friends like that, who needs them and their negativity. It's best to not disclose any information to anyone. You know what's best for your body if you are having great results and feel great.
I have done two 24 day fasts.. I don't eat crap.. No sodas.. No candy.. Cakes.. I only eat twice a day.. The worst I eat is an occasional sandwich.. Or potatoes.. Still gained it all back..
I'm about to do a 50 day fast to lose absolutely all my fat.. Then try strict Keto..
People project all kinds of things, its not about us and our fasting lifestyle, those comments are about how they feel about themselves. Like Bonnie Raitt sings, Leta give them something to talk about. 😂😂
That's why I never tell anyone!
I have started my fast. Wish me luck.
Day 3 of 30 days here! Good luck to you too
Good luck
1 week update. I lost 9.3lbs 😅
Day 8, water only fast! Lost 7 KG, 22 days left, let’s gooo!
@@FITZY1995how long you will
I pretty much eat once a day. I feel incredible. Better than before.
I wake up less at night
Have less digestion issues
Sleep well through the night
Have extra strength
Get out of bed like a spring chicken
No aches or pains
My stamina is through the roof. I’m 44 years old. I have so many issues before i started doing this. Too many to name.
Same😃
What do you eat? Is it one large meal to compensate for the other two or just a regular sized meal? 😶
@@snacknnap you can find answers to your questions here on TH-cam.
How it works for me is: eat healthy (the stuff like "eat what your great grand parents could get their hands on", so not all the processed stuff, eat less refined carbs and absolutely NO seed oils).
Prepare your own food.
You can eat e.g. 2000 or 2300 kcal per day, but you may start intermittent fasting. First occasionally, and over weeks make it your daily routine. This is much easier if your body is accustomed to low carb, high fat food.
After some months you may want to try a water fast.
You need to get the feel of it and don't hurry.
In the mean time, look up some info like from Nina Teicholz, Dr Berry. Read the comments and you see what works for others.
I feel perfect on one big steak, no potatoes or rice, and vegetables I only eat when I'm with others.
But that's personal, as a vegetarian you can do this also. For vegans it is more difficult to eat low carb high fat and get good nutrients, but that's only my opinion..
@@rredding Thank you for the good advice!
@@snacknnap cheers!
Watching videos about fasting helps me get through fasting 😂 I have to remind myself the positive that comes from my stomach grumbling 👹
This is so relatable hahaha
Same!😍
I lost 160lb because of fasting, and I started a youtube channel talking about my journey
congratulations. now i am ur new follower..😊
@missveggie908 Thank you so much I appreciate it a hundred percent🤙💪
Congratulations, subscribed! I also started a channel documenting my journey! Check it out, would love to get your opinions on stuff I'm doing and eating!
How do I find your channel?

I fast, exercise regularly, and eat an animal based diet. I've never felt better and my bloodwork, BP, etc has never been better.
Exactly
The animal based diet will catch up to you 🐄
Also animal based. Best I've ever felt. If I overdo it on vegetable matter, I get problems. This guy said don't touch fruit because we bastardized it, but he forgot to mention we did it to all of our vegetables too. We selectively breed every food we grow.
Including animals: The veg they eat, the other animals, the steroids, and of course the antibiotics.
Plus, you're a selfish prick if you eat animals and deserve to be canabalised.
@@duttditsFail: no evidence.
I lost 80 plus lbs last year doing a rolling fast of 5 days and low carb eating 2 days out the week. Now a year later I’ve gained it all back. So I’m BACK! This way of weight loss to me is the best and the easiest.. I gained the weight back due to depression and substance abuse. Regardless good luck everyone and this will absolutely help you!!!
There's a few food items that blow you up. Having one fast day per week would keep most people weight in check.
You can do it again ❤❤❤
You can do it again! It’s good that you are working on healing and recovery!
I'm going through the same... weight gain, depression and vices. Started 20hr fast 4 days ago, only eating for 4-5 hours a day and have already lost weight and feeling full of energy! It's good to be on this journey again and good to know I'm not the only one.
Hey, excellent results. You see all the excitement in these chats is for a reason! I would suggest making a full fast day. The "clarity" benefit comes about actually in the 2nd day of a true water fast. Growth Hormone is excreted by the body and most chemicals and inpurities introduced by foods and other substances are out of the system. We settled in on a "3 day fast" for that mind/body reset, it's great to go into a new workout routine or new diet system after this.
Alot of people are just doing "OMAD" ( One Meal a Day ) because as we get "older" you simply need less food. I have plenty of energy on 100 carbs or less. OMAD would have you in that 20-23hr "fasted" state. Some atheletes and physical performers even use OMAD and it works for them. They only eat what they need. @@zumiaurareadings1538
I'm so inspired by Wendy story. I woke up at 5am and check my phone. This video showed up on my TH-cam Playlist. Made a decision today to change my life after seeing story. I'm a 54 years old woman. Just lost my best friend on February 17th of this year. I'm hurting and fed up with cancer killing so many people around me. I have escape cancer twice. Ready to realign and focus on my health and mental state. Starting on March 9, 2023 life will not be the same. I must stay healthy. I'm a caregiver to my father. There are so many people depend on me. Listening to Wendy story has made me look deep into my life. Her story resonate with me. Hope one day I will be able to meet her.
Wow! This comment is beautiful and moving. I hope you achieve every goal!❤
I'm with you 100% at age 70. 5:00 AM is when I found this video too. Amazing information.
5am here too.
@@michaeltamburello Read Dr. Fung's book The Cancer Code.
@@Jill-tc8qq I found the video at 5:15 a.m. so interesting that several people found it at the same hour.
I fast for 2-4 days at a time and continue to walk 5-6 miles a day while fasting. No problem.
How's it going?
No way
How often
I walked 8,5 miles every day while dry fasting for an entire week.
@@justinepietrus what was the result?
Holy cow everybody needs to see this. 20 minutes in and my Im realizing how I knew next to nothing that I thought I knew about weightloss, how fasting works, what insulin actually does, and what cancer actually is
I'm 7 weeks into keto and time restricted feeding. I'm totally hyper-consuming this content as well as Huberman. Why isn't this widely taught and pushed by health care professionals? At 54 I am feeling better than ever - eyesight energy and brain clarity is through the roof.
🤟😎👍
Think about it.
Y do u think?
No money for the diet and diabetes and cardio industries.
💰💰💰
I'm guessing the ties between Food and Drug may have something to do with why the incentive scales towards the many green benefits of keeping our food full of chemicals and brains away from fat clearly benefits the other half of the company.
Luckily podcasts like this and Huberman and others are helping so mamy people decide to let go of the "keep them fat, sick, and stupid" plan. It's hard not to get excited about all the truth coming out.
Idk... Generally, out of the ground, off a tree, catch if you can natural process keeps it simple.
Keep up the good work. It is life changing!
Oh man awesome
Once I started intermittent fasting, I feel so much better. I pretty much I don’t need to see doctors any more! The medical community loses me as their business. I don’t think doctors are motivated to promote IF just because there is no money made here.
Because there’s no money to be made
Dr. Fung has entered the chat 🎉
As much as I love these educationally based podcasts and others similar to yours, Tom (Rich Roll, Dr. Attia, Huberman, etc) the guest lists can become pretty homogenous and quite campy over time.
Dr. Fung breaks that mold in so many ways. ❤
Oh he certainly does
He’s Da MAN‼️💃💃💃💃
I agree…where is Dr. Fung?
I’m a certified FUNGSTER! Love the man.❤
The Fung is always refreshing with his views
First Ive ever seen him, and yes, he's blowing my mind. I swear Im gaining an IQ point for each 5 minute of Dr Fung.
When u get to the point its either eat or stop the fast...what i do is eat an egg...or saurkraut...or better yet sardines...it does not give a spike in insulin...the weightloss continues...the purpose of the fast is usually to stop insullin resistance...i can go weeks on this and do well...ive dropped over 100 pounds off all meds...this mornin my glucose was 87!!!
That is calory restriction and possibly ketosis, fasts mean no calories ad have other benefits after fasting for 24 hours like autophogy, etc
For the record, you know how much fasting costs. But nah we gotta spend tons of money on Ozempic.
Some people are just weak 🤭
The obesity epidemic was likely planned from the beginning. You just need to know a bit about how people are, in general. You pay scientists to lie about fat being the problem instead of sugar. Then you begin this low-fat marketing where you introduce things like Snackwells which have a lot of calories but no fat. I also noticed that there began marketing in the 80s or so of the afternoon snack time. And then it became a thing for people to have a snack at 2:30. All of this makes money, from the consumer staples you buy at the grocery, to the multiple doctor visits and pharma scripts, to the expensive gym memberships that can be helpful but very few people realize that the food you eat is the biggest driver of your health. A trainer at Golds Gym told me in 1994 to ignore the low-fat, high-carb nonsense and that it was nonsense. They didn't talk about fasting back then but every once in a while you would see information about the science of leanness. But the general public is going to do what the government says because they trust them for some reason, lol. And here is the story in case you had not seen it.

True.. If you look back on Holocaust Survivors 🎥 ..No OhOHOh OhhZempic.. in their pockets, and amazingly not a single GYM, SPA, or Olympic Pool 💦 in Sight 🙆🏼
I don’t know🤷♂️how they did it
Most all w’ BMI incredibly low. Not a Special Low Carb’ meal 🥘 in sight 🤜🤛🏽
I was just thinking that
My mother in law had a diet of 17 to 24 low fat fig rolls eaten over 14 to 16 hours over the space of decades (with a lot of wine and brandy!) she now has vascular dementia and is almost non-verbal. I noticed the dementia 18 years ago when I met my husband, because I had done work experience in a dementia unit. My mother is older but has no signs of dementia. She eats fats and fasts and doesn’t drink (although I do drink!) I do keto since 2023 and intermittent fasting. I do eat refined carbs occasionally because of the kids, it’s nice to sit down and have a cake every now and then! I am so happy physically and mentally, the kids and hubbie are all now 80% keto and all fast!! I had low pressure in the early days so I took extra salt and magnesium but I’m fine now. Dr Fung is the boss!! Great interview!! ❤
Keep up the great work 🙂
You are 80% low carb, you cannot actually be 80% keto, as 80% will throw you out of ketosis
❤❤❤❤❤ my grandma is 90 and thriving! Farm girl!
My longest fast was 10 day water (and sea salt) fast! It was hard as I was cooking for the family every day but not one of the kids or my husband even noticed I hadn’t eaten! 🤣🤣🤣 I had trialed several shorter fasts before that one so I was fully prepared before I did it! 🎉
They never notice anything like that lol
Wow you did a great job
It’s funny how no one in the house notices when you fast. I find the same in my house 😂
This is the hardest part for me! Still cooking dinner. I try not to eat . But I'm still sneaking bites because it's in front of me 😅. Of course when I first learned of water fasting my husband was completely against it. He was very confused and concerned why I would want to "hurt" myself. It's been several years. I never really tried to fast. Finally after lots of talks randomly. Videos. And chats. I fasted for 3 whole days (in front my my family) and the kids asked "why aren't you eating" and my husband said "she's fasting" lol. I've finally lost 10-15 lbs fasting on and off. And he started fasting too😂 here's to my next set! Wish me luck!
My kids and husband didn't notice I wasn't eating. I totally felt that
Fung is a masterful teacher, presenting these complex concepts so simply and clearly.
"Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity."

How did you fast? Water fast? Juice fast?
Careful. Long fasting should not be done that often
u didnt eat for 10 days?
@@peachesbysounds unhealthy
What was your starting weight?
Dr. Fung amazes us once again.
Hooray! Dr. Jason Fung is the PREMIER Ketogenic Doctor that needs to be watched/listened to....EVERY TIME! This is gonna be so good! Starting NOW!
I started fasting a few months ago, and I broke my 36 hour fast this morning. One of my 2024 fitness goals is to reduce the sugars and processed carbs, and clean up my diet. I would not go to cutting out completely, since I don't want to commit to something I probably would fail at :)
Don't reduce processed carbs. Stop them completely. Why would you fail, and continue to poison yourself?
Wow, 36 hour fast- congrats! I am up to 20hours. 36 is my goal.
I finished a 48 hour fast last night. Normally I go 18 hours every day and throw in extended fasts 2 -3 times every month. Easily lose weight
I thought that I couldn't live 100% without sugars. But after fasting for 36 hours multiple times and doing 20-24 hpurs fast very regularly and quitting sugar for 6 months, I've realised that I don't really need sugar in my life. Occasionally, I eat sweets with monkfruit or stevia. But it's a treat that happens on special occasions. It's amazing how you can change your food preferences once you cleanse your body from all the processed foods 😮
@@ainurabeisheeva3415 Doing a 36 hour fast per week for the past 2 months did change my cravings, and I no longer crave my favorite no bake fudge that I make with butter, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, rum, and graham crackers. I no longer crave it, and I haven't had it in months. My goal for this year is to clean up some of my diet, we are human afterall :)
Carnivore diet for 2 days then egg and vegetables for 2 days then vegetables only for 2 days then a 48 hour fast...works for me!!
thank you for sharing. I am going to try it🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. I appreciate the information from Dr. Fung and liked how you interviewed this guest.
Third world: I need to eat more my health is suffering
First world: I need to starve myself my health is suffering
Balance
America is full of gluttons. Sugar and refined carbs are everywhere. Fasting helps break the habit of eating all the time.
I read Dr. Fung's Cancer Code and it was sooooo fascinating!! I have no medical background but he simplified it enough for me to understand. Highly recommended.
That’s how you know he’s a master of his craft!
I love how the first speaker describes his nutritional instruction as a "brain washing". That is a very accurate way to describe a vegetarian diet.
I don't eat flesh it repulses me. I'm not fond of fruit so that leaves vegetables. I'm not brainwashed.
Hang in there sir, you are in prayers of 1000s of people and families. We will see u rocking soon. U are changing lives, yours gonna change soon too..❤
Dr Jason Fung is a legend!
He sure it! He popularized fasting, now so many doctors are talking about it and jumping o the bandwagon because they want to be popular too😊
@@janjaylangelo4or maybe, now hear me out, the doctors want to help heal people? 🤷♀️
As always, the interview is going so well combining both deep questions and great answers.
Fabulous video !!! Dr. Jason Fung is Brilliant!!!! First time in my life that something concerning weight makes sense!!!
Nearly 73 years young and never felt better with fasting daily mostly 20/4 regime excersie daily walking but biggest plus is the anti inflammatory affect on my body enabling me to cut out pain killers and naproxen almost completely will keep doing it before my pilgrimage in Spain in may doing 400 mile trip
Awesome! This is the best video I’ve seen on fasting due to the sheer volume and density of solid data provided by these experts. I thought I knew it all (mostly) on this subject but I definitely learned more. I love it and am sharing! Thank you!
I gained 5 kg over 18 months of vaping. Realised the sugar in the vape was triggering insulin. Vape binned. Inflammation down and gradually feeling so much better.
I’ve been wondering if vaping affects weight loss. Thank you
There is no sugar in vapes
@@Bitchcraft_76 glycerin and lots of it
@@heathermccallm4198 certainly does. I started vaping again a couple of weeks ago after losing 6 kg since Aug. Gradually after a few days I started to swell and feel lethargic. Nicotine also absorbs estrogen so if you’re peri menopausal smoking/ vaping is causing a double whammy. 😔I’ve gone cold turkey again now on them. Crave it so much but just can’t let myself go down that way again
I am almost used to fasting about 20 hours a day. But my biggest challenge is that i am constantly vaping and smoking whenever i have a chance. And i can't smoke without gums which has low calories. But it's still calories. So, i am wondering how to cut nicotine
I really love these conversations, Tom. They are always so educational as well as entertaining.
Yay!! Love Dr Fung! I've watched many hours of him. Didn't even know you had this interview!!!!😜
I do intermittent fasting and love it. It is so easy and you feel amazing. It is definitely NOT any suffering
Excellent host. Knows how to facilitate communication with his guests. He gets into specifics.
He also interrupts his guests and stops them from making their full points.
He interrupts all the time. Let the dude finish his point!
I did dry fasting for 7 days and walked every day 14 km. ☺️ I also did Coconutwater fasting for 35 days and lost 14 kg.
According to this video you lost alot of muscle from all the walking .
@@shmo8958 it is important to use the muscles to not loose them. But yeah I’ve lost some at the 35 days bc I wasn’t training at the gym but went back to it.
Exercise daily, doing intermittent fasting daily along with short term fasting (3 days) once a month. Loads of energy and look a good ten years younger than my 58 years. I eat a WFPB vegan diet, thriving on it, highly recommend 😁
Doing the same but strict carnivore 10/10 would recommend!
@drogynturalyon9914 carnivore and fasting is 🔥🔥🔥
From my understanding (lots of reading and podcasts like this) it seems you can do vegan and do it well, and do carnivore and do it well. I think carnivore is the easier way to get your vitamins etc (at the risk of eating too much, which Dr. Goldhammer talks about) but with veganism you will have to work quite a bit harder (again, Dr Goldhammer says you will need to eat pounds and pounds, and you need to supplement).
So, there is clearly an underlying mechanism/set of mechanisms that are more important to good health than being vegan or carnivore.
And that seems to be:
whole, well raised or grown foods (
--> meaning grass fed, naturally aged, no anti biotic meat
--> and non pesticide added vegetables
--> minimally processed, meaning eat it in the form closest to the natural form. That means roast chicken versus kentucky fried chicken
--> with meat, eat the whole thing, especially organs and bones. Just steak is not ideal )
Fermented foods (for your biomes. Fermented cabbage is better than just stewed cabbage, for example)
Fasting
Of these, fasting I think is the most important, because it "resets" the body, meaning other advice like "eat when you are hungry and stop when you are not" can actually work, along with "everything in moderation."
Those 2, good sounding, pieces of advice are terrible imho for people surviving on the standard processed diet.
Water fasting needs to be done resting to save muscle tissue and burn predominately visceral fat. That was a kicker. ‼️
Exercising builds muscle. If you're going on fasts longer than 20 hours then yeah you're going to lose some muscle. I think 18 hours max is fine for muscle gain
@@12345charliebrown Depends on fat adapted you are and the amount of body fat you have, your body generally won't burn muscle fat unless you don't eat or have enough fat in storage

Hey Tom, I really appreciate you doing long interviews with these (health) experts! I've seen A LOT of content in this genre, and you stand out by actually getting the conversations to go pretty deep. I get the same feeling like when I have an intriguing conversation over a few glasses of red wine with someone, when I listen to your videos. I like that you can present differing opinions every now and then, and that you stop to ask "why though" when someone presents something as obvious.
Yes, i so agree with your last statement!!!!

This is fantastic. Thanks for the upload and great question. Are you having a great day?
I like that you uploaded this around the beginning of the latest Ramadan
I am currently doing Whole30 while also doing alternate day fasting. Whole30 cuts out all processed food, added sugar, dairy, grains, and legumes. I thought I would really struggle. But I feel great! It did take some time for my body to adjust (about 2 weeks)- but I am currently at 3 weeks and I feel awesome! I love the fact that ADF reduces my decision fatigue, and I don’t have to figure out what to eat every day- I just fast. I originally was only going to do the 30 days, but I am going to extend it to near my birthday in March. So gonna do about 75 days.
See, I’m good with cutting out the dairy and sugar but legumes and grains? I love beans and oatmeal. And I’m plant based at the moment so I don’t know what I’d eat lol
Why stop if you feel great? All those things you cut out are carcinogens and cause chronic insulin spikes.
Dr. Jason Fung, Thank you❤️🙏
You are a true healer.
God bless you Sir.🙏
He really is doing God's work.
Wow. First time anyone has really explained this in a comprehensive way. At least for me. Thank you!

Great info! Tom your key word is very interesting !😄
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and I decided to do IF with low carb diet and in 3 weeks I was no more pre-diabetic. My blood sugar is between 80 and 99, I fast between 20 and 24 hours a day. I also do the carnivore diet but i do eat some veggies once in a while (tomatoes and avocados). My goal is to lower my insuline resistance and feel healthy. I got my energy back and I feel great mentally. Will not go back to the SAD for sure.
Whatever...I am not living life without cheese, local grass fed meat, eggs and some good olive/avocado oils. I have one life to live and even though I want to live a long healthy life, I also want to live an enjoyable and happy life. Last time I checked, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Anything can happen and I choose not to focus only on the future but also focus on today! And, today, I want to enjoy a charcuterie board and some fun card games with my family.
But you mentioned the keto diet foods so you're good 😅
Lmfaoooooo I only saw - whatever I am not living with out cheese and my out loud response was PREEECH BABE 😂😂
I do love a healthy keto based diet. Whole Foods, lots of veges, fish, poultry and meats! Most of my protein is from a local farm.
For those (us) who are a bit overweight burning the fat is the thing.
Dr Fung explains it well.
Dear Tom thanke you for this very special interwew.i🥰💞💕💢t is impssible to get enough of Jason Fung 💕❣💔
I've done several 5 day fasts. After day 2 I'm not hungry, so it is easier to do longer than to do several 2 day fasts. I'm wondering if it is the same benefit or more benefit for the longer fast rather than ever doing 2 day fasts because once I'm past day 2 it's easy. I'm generally OMAD--or eating in a 2-3 hour window. By keto and fasting I've gotten rid of all of my prescription meds--metoprolol, metformin, oxy and gabapentin. All of my numbers are NORMAL. Thank you Dr. Fung and Tom Bilyeu.
Longer the better
Short even daily (OMAD) is good too
But as long as u can is the best
Once u get down to ur weight then only fast long couple times a yr, or maybe every 3 mos
Doing 2-3 day fasts will prevent muscle loss, something that is especially important the older you are. After 3 days the body will begin to lose muscle. It might be possible to offset some of that with weight lifting though, don’t know the science there.
@@MichaelMerritt
You can hold on to most of your muscle mass even on a 10-14 day fast. That is if you are mostly resting.
Longer fasts especially over 7 days are much more powerful than a series of shorter fasts. Look in Dr. Herbert Shelton and his research on fasting.
@@carl8568 Exactly, it is much more efficient for your body to access the fat than the protein. Muscle loss is always very minimal and easily replaced, that's a myth, just like eating low fat is healthy.
I fasted for 11 days and still going. It’s not that bad if you’re not involved in physical activities.
57 hours and counting here. 🤔🙄😬
Did you take any electrolytes or just drink fresh water?
You must get electrolyte, just get it from himalayan salt@@NarrowPathDiaries
You ask the best questions.
Out of the blue I decided to eat once a day, dinner being a bowl of vegetables. Nothing during the day - just tea and 2 cups of coffee. I used to eat A LOT. And the amazing thing is: I don't feel week, I am not hungry, I have a really clear mind, I feel very good (not cold) - that is totally unexpected. I am a few days in, if it is so easy I have no reason to stop soon.
Thank goodness Dr. Fung didn’t get on the ”keto is the way” bandwagon…I alternate keto and Mediterranean diet…more on high complex carbs…I do regular 18 hour fasting…and every 5 days do a 48…the day before I do 48 is my keto day…I enjoy the variety, am never giving up potatoes, rice, corn beans…and am burning fat..48 is what I like…I prefer more frequent 48s to 3 or 5 day…the returns on health diminish after the 48 hour mark…I also work out 5 days a week…always in fasted state…life as 64 year old female is very very good
Fasts past 48 hrs are extremely high in health benefits! 5 days is AWESOME
Eat a nutrition based diet. Weird how that diet concept never catches on. Always has to be some restriction or gimmick attached.
Awesome info. Simple since and free advice with a free diet plan that makes so much since.
The diversity of Tom’s guests is pretty amazing. Thank you.
I’m on day 7 fast right now. Stable and going to continue.
Love this so much!
DR. FUNG! My hero. :)
Thank you for this!! I have been struggling with middle age belly fat, and I have been losing the battle. I am going to start by fasting once a week for a month, and see if it's sustainable. Thank you for the encouragement and inspiration!!
Did you do it?
@@jacquelinemahugu5691 I fast once a week, I would say 'attempt'.. So far I can go through my work day in the office, but once i come home and cook for my husband and kids, i end up eating before bedtime :( I haven't lost any weight, but I will keep trying. When I am at work, I am fine, but once I get home i get busy and distracted. I spoke to a friend, and I will be joining a fb fasting group to keep my motivation :) I also have tried eating one meal a day, and I have succeeded several days only lol.
@@mrsbootsworkouts at least you're trying, keep it up! I tried doing omad and I found that while I wasn't gaining any weight, I wasn't losing any either so it's good for maintenance but not weight loss. Alternate day fasting has had much better results for me. If you ever manage to get into it you will get better results, though it is definitely tough to get into, especially with your circumstances.
@@mrsbootsworkouts Gin Stephens says to not expect weight loss within the first month, and up to 6 months if you've been overweight for a long time. So don't give up!
Keep trying! Last year I started intermittent fasting for about 2 mths. Lost 4 kgs so gave water fasting a crack.
Lasted 12 days! 17 kgs lost, BP down, joints feeling great! It is a REAL mental challenge to stay focused.
I’m ready to try again cause now, 10 mths later, I regained some weight and want to feel the same sensation again and keep it going with a better nutrition routine post fast.
I only just started one meal per day fasting for two weeks, I went from 227.2lbs to 219.8lbs at this moment I am writing it. I feel great physically. I know it could have been water weight that I am losing, but losing 7 pounds within two weeks is still very good for me.
I only eat once a day now, but my energy level is actually pretty good, I feel less fatigue and starting to gain my mental strength on resisting food temptation. I work as a repair man so my job is physically demanding, yet I do not feel hungry even I only eat a normal portion once a day.
the hardest part for me is during the weekend when I relax. I am not hungry but I always wanted to bite on something. when I draw my attention away during work that I don't feel the temptation to get food.
I am planning to keep this up, and ultimately adapt into a three days fast.
I did mine backwards. I started with a three day fast then went on to a once a day meal usually dinner. If you do the three day fast take some water one glass with a tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt it will help with the up and downs. Tea is helpful too. Of course no sugar or cream.
@@frenchfilmmtheband2556 good to know, thanks for the tip, I will give it a try during the weekend when I relax.
In the 1980s every processed food and drink was promoted as "low fat" with no mention of it also being high sugar or high salt to ensure attractive taste. However there was also a popular tag line "don't believe the hype" and the option to "think for yourself". It's pretty basic knowledge that excess sugar is stored in the body as fat. I learnt this in school in the 1980s.
I done fasting for 3 days. My muscles ache when I do heavy lifting. I think the best thing for me is to eat eggs or some other protein rich food to keep my muscles feed. 5 eggs some chees and butter on my fast days fixed this. Doesn't trigger insulin much and I still lose weight.
Fast days? Or you mean omad days? Fasting would be no food.
Enjoyed Dr Fung
Dr . Jason Fung . my neighbor just north of me . i am in dunkirk ,ny area . thank 4 havin him , wonderful teacher , .!!! u r a great host 2 . thank u both.!!
Love this video & love reading the comments it’s so motivating. I know this is stupid but the issue with fasting for me (for ME) is boredom and waiting. I’ve gone on long fasts before and this is what really gets to me the boredom and not eliminating and constipation after and feeling weak and miserable.
I do enemas while fasting 3 days. And then if I don't have psyllium before eating, I get diaria 😂
@@beatricebliss9379 I get diarrhea anyway and poop within an hour of eating 😁🧻🚽 I may be re-feeding too much too quickly which results in gastrocolic reflex thus the 💩💩💩
Thanks and God bless
The reduction in toxins during fasting is the most important factor. Toxins cause inflammation in the cells which we call insulin resistance. Plenty of insulin to drive the sugar into the cell, but the inflammation of the cell wall blocks the entrance of sugar into the cell.
I can relate to this. What do you recommend? I’m looking for a good routine for fasting and what or when to eat. I’m mostly juicing these days I’m not eating as many calories but I want to fast more because I have noticed some success with that short term.
@@Dhjjy30 I have type 2 Diabetes and I think this is the reason I am not making progress. Fasting is free. I think that is why the AMA and FDA remain silent on this subject
Tremendous interview. I learned so, so much. A huge thank you to you, Tom Bilyeu, and your fantastic guest.
So fasting while resting part of the time and eating when able to exercise would drop more weight is what I hear you saying. I have heard that varying when your eating window is while intermittent fasting helps keep your body from adapting to caloric deprivation. I was doing 16:8 - 20:4 and exercising just prior to my eating time. I lost 90 pounds in about 110 days. When COVID hit, I got very bored and was not able to go to the gym and dropped out of fasting. What a mistake! I ended up worse off. I did enter post fasting edema but it was not known to me. I am now working with my Dr. checking blood work and making sure I take in enough electrolytes.
How do you take your electrolytes please mate?
90 Pounds 😲
I’m on 5 medications that push my pancreas to create more insulin because my a1c just won’t drop. I’m on a restrictive high protein, almost no carb diet. My weight is still stuck fluctuating inside the same 10 pound window. Hearing that insulin is what’s causing this helps me realize I’m nit crazy. My doctors are all acting baffled and treating me like I’m lying about my food intake. It’s wild. I can’t even understand how my blood sugar is still sky high. I eat NO sugar or flour. 🤷🏼♂️ I’m also absolutely exhausted all the time, and light headed/faint when on my feet.
Maybe its the medication.
Watch Mindy Plez and Dr.Fung videos and try fasting to increase insulin sensitivity
Megan
No carbs at all? No fruit, no vegetables, no pulses? If so, then your body converts protein into glucose, and that keeps your insulin high.
Try some salt water with lemon. It might mage you feel better.
Great guests. One suggestion: considering that this is a compilation, the title should reflect that there are multiple people in this video.
Interesting, that last section with Mike there talks about a rhythmic IF regime, but I have heard from other imminent IF proponents that its better to vary your IF windows so the body doesn't adapt too heavily to the rhythm. I kinda get that as settling into a rhythm would mean your body is expecting food at the same time each day and will behave that way, but I also understand the circadian rhythm arguments... Slightly perplexing, but like all things it's going to be down to whatever works best for each of us...
Thank you Doc...after 10days fasting my blood cbg became 102...more power..Godbless
i start a fast 36 hours ago, slept allot so far and slept better last night. looking to do 72 hours or more
When he stated animal proteins are bad for you vs plant protein, that’s when I shut it off
LOL, YES, that dogma has been proven wrong over and over, plus plants do contain carcinogens and have more toxins than pesticides. He's still in the nineties.
I missed that. Which one said it? Time stamp
Jason Fung makes the best analogies
