fasting is great its free and easy you dont have to do any special diet,for those struggling stick with it and it will get easier its hard at first but stay with it,start with 16/8 and move to 24 hours if you can

Dr. Fung, can you believe I've lost 104.2 lbs so far since November just by reading your books, watching your videos and following your advice!! I feel so well! I'm 58 and I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better I'm able to be active again and swim laps twice a week. And my asthma is pretty much non-existent. Watching these videos keep me motivated. Thank you so much for all you do for us! I'm so grateful!!😁😁😘
When we go on vacation, I know there are going to be some extra indulgences so my husband and I always make sure we walk "a lot". We do at least 15,000 steps per day and eat only two meals. Many times we both end up losing weight instead of gaining when we return home. I highly recommend it!
You must not have kids as ppl who do can’t do 15 grand steps per day that too on vacation, unless ofcourse you aren’t travelling with kids. Anywho the point is that it’s not possible for everyone.
@@katanas996 I have 3 kids, and I don’t understand how children would stop you from walking enough. Bring them with you. If they can’t walk use a stroller.
@@katanas996 We had a kid (6) with us and walked around 15 000 steps the whole day every day. Problems only appeared when we went over that... he got tired at 20000 steps. 15000 is not that much if it's done through the whole day and he gets where he wants. Kids have more energy than us.
@@lilpandanesegirl Good luck on the journey. Patience is the key. Do not rush it. That was my mistake before. Now, I have shredded the weight and still losing it. I started in May of last year. And it was painfully slow. Just changed my routine into focusing more on nutrition and not on working out. I started IF and eventually now in OMAD. My mantra was no pasta, no rice, no bread nor fries. Ate more keto friendly veggies and here we are. :-)
Dr. Fung you have changed my life. I was severely depressed about turning 50. I bought your books and started fasting and have lost 45 pounds in 9 months. I'm heading towards 51 and happier than ever. Thanks for what you do. Ilona
Thank you Dr. Fung! In 5 months I went from 365 to 239. I lost 63 pounds in 60 days and 100 pounds in 110 days. This was from fasting, and portion control on days when I did eat, and keeping carbs low. Also at first it was a real struggle to walk 100 steps but I did as much as I could every day and now I can walk miles. The swelling in my feet has gone down too.
@@mariem.6042 exactly what he says, cut your carbohydrates to 20 g per day, and extend your times between meals eat your last meal at 5pm then go all night till 12pm the next morning before you eat, it’s called intermittent fasting
@@robwestley7370 thanks; I already do IF since quite a while but not losing much or at all right now. Guess it’s the carbs. Sigh....don’t you miss eating some carbs? I’m vegan so well so meat and dairy is out of question...
Went to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tennessee in July for Five days. Ate and drank what I wanted. Came back and did a four-day fast and lost all the extra weight plus a bit more. I'm use to fasting. Have done it for a year and half with a hundred pound weight loss. Fasting makes me feel so healthy! It's so easy and it's free! Thanks Doc for all your amazing advice. Keep the videos coming!
@@crochetlaboratorycrochet3858 When fasting, I drink only water, salted water, black coffee, and green tea. When training my body to fast and go longer (14 hrs to 16, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48) some mornings I had coffee with heavy whipping cream but didn't try to extend my fast until I could do the current one cleanly (without cream). Once I could do 48 hrs I didn't drink anything but black coffee and water/ salted water.
When doing a longer fast, I only drink water, black coffee with monk fruit or stevia, green tea and salted water or boullion. I do put one serving of No Salt (potassium) in one of my drinks daily on a 4 day fast. Also apple cider vinegar in lemon water daily. I've had no issues using any of these drinks.
@@larkinandlarkin I believe they call them "waffle houses" when I was in that area, we stopped at a Waffle House in a double wide trailer along the side of the road, most people there didn't have a full set of teeth, very sad, this was pointed out to me when I ordered the pecan waffle and a local commented, "you're lucky, I can't eat the pecan waffle without teeth."
Dr. Fung Thank you for all your videos and support. I started IF after reading the Obesity Code and the support from your videos starting last year. I have lost 35 pounds and kept it off!! I feel like a new person, have tremendous energy, sleeping longer with restorative sleep 10 to 12 hours, thinking more clearly, able to stay focused and on task and my BP is stabilized!! Keep your videos coming. You are impacting millions of lives and longevity and quality of life!!!!!
thanks to you I lost 36lbs in 7 months....,I fast about 20 hours/day.....I have eaten anything I want but in smaller portions......thanks again dr Fung.....
@@deriancarey77 Normally that would be the case but I am already fat adapted and drank plenty of water during my fast to stay hydrated. If anything I most likely lost some lean muscle due to gluconeogenesis. Prolong fasting raises adrenals which are known to strip away lean mass after 3-4 days.
@@JYAN2852 when you fast even if you drink a lot of water, the body doesn't retain any water cause there aren't any carboHYDRATES, so at least you do ketogenic diet, even from low carb diet when you do a 7 day fast a lot of those pounds lost are water. But I would be happy if got rid of 5 pounds of fat so well done friend.
@@deriancarey77 I understand what you are saying. But I am mostly carnivore pretty much zero carb for past 1 year. I took in 5-6g salt, 3g potassium, 1g magnesium daily during the 7 days. Electrolytes are critical to maintain fluids. I made that mistake 3 years ago when I started low carb. Thanks for your input
One thing to point out as well is if you're trying to lose weight stay away from people places that cause you to relapse to your bad habits.. It's the same thing if you were a recovering drug addict or an alcoholic you need to stay away from people or places within your environment that could cause you to relapse
Soooo love all your information. Thank you for all your great videos. You Sir have been a life saver for me. My A1C was 15 and in 4 months I reversed my diabetes by binge watching you and following your advise. A1C is 5.0 now and I have lost 85 lbs. Thank you Sir. Lots of love from Texas!
Hello 👋 If you want to reduce your weight then best diet plan is very important and I have best diet plan for you so that you can lose your weight in very easy way without any site effect as much as you want if you are interested then please Reply
I am a 56 year old woman. I had a full hysterectomy. I did OMAD for 2 weeks, 1,300 Cals and water and black coffee only. I ate at 5 pm only. 4:28 I lost ZERO pounds! No weight loss!! Then I switched my 1 hour eating window to noon time. The next day I lost 1 pound!! If it’s not working, switch something!! ❤😊
I've also found that holiday weight gain is partially water from excess carbs. A 24 hour fast, followed up with my regular 18:6 IF and strict very low carb knocks off 3 pounds in a week.
Same here, 3 pounds plus on a 12 day break, but once I got back home and started IF plus keto, 5 pounds fell off in 4-5 days. So nothing to worry about, it’s not fat, it’s just us having too much fun with sweets on holidays!
All but the turkey and green beans of a "traditional" thanksgiving dinner are pretty mut carbs!!! Carb coma d/t insulin spike and not so much tryptophan...... Lol Oh my goodness. I love this man, a good good doctor. !
Jason you are changing lives, well mine anyway!!!! 240-185lbs in 5 months!!!! Thank you, you are so Smart and so Brave for continuing to fight this battle. People are so closed and opinionated about fasting without listening, studying, and researching like you did!!! ❤
Dr Jason Fung you must be telepathic. After losing 22 kilos and staying off for nearly 6 months I put on 4 kilos in twenty days. 😭 Yes I am getting back on the Fast wagon. Wish me luck.
My life will never be the same , Thank you Dr Fung . I'm 32 diabetic and trying to lose weight since I was first diagnosed at 14 yo age . I came across Dr fungs videos a while back . I'm one week plus into intermittent fasting 16/8 with 2 meals past couple of days was 18/6 and today I did my first 24 hour fast with one meal . I've lost 3 kgs my bsl has normalized and I work through the day without getting tired or dizzy , neuropathic pain in my legs has gone almost completely ! I'm about to go on a vacation and this video is out 😁 couldn't be happier .
@@lucywainaina5425 hi Lucy , I'm just taking my regular meds which includes metformin , dapagliflozin and weekly injection of trulicity . Not taking glimepiride since it increases production of insulin in the body and also not taking insulin since I fast and don't need insulin anymore . Have to be very carefully not to have too many carbohydrates so my bsl doesn't spike .
Okay @Imran so metformin is not bad.. I am asking coz on July this month was diagnosed with pre-diabetic I am only 32 and very worried. I am taking metformin 500 once at night. In July I was 68kg , on August 63kg, looking forward to 55 God willing. May God help us all
Very valuable advice, I am 50 and now I regularly do longer fasts. I have lost 5kg over the past 3 months and I'm now in my healthy weight BMI. I have been following your advice and I am very grateful and I've just purchased the Obesity code book. I only wish I knew all this information 40 years ago!
Watching Dr. Fung videos I am more educated and inspired to eat healthy, lose weight and do fasting. And yes in the 70s we used to have 3 meals, no snacks, we used to dance, and not playing games on TV, only few people had computers so we didn't sit down for hours like people do now etc. etc. The only grandfather guru doing exercise in the 70s was Jack Delaney. Now you see fast food everywhere you go. Gas Station didn't used to sell sweets etc. and we used to be skinny and healthy. Thank you Dr. Fung you are a great doctor.
Thank you Dr. Fung, fasting works! Whenever I hit a plateau I switch up fasting times like OMAD for 4 days, maybe a 36 48 or 72 hr fast, then a day of no fasting, you know, just switch it up. I let go of my first 50lbs between Feb. 22 and end of July! The ■■■ K E Y ■■■ to weight loss, being healthy, getting your youth back is fasting! WINNING!! PEOPLE☆☆☆●●● LISTEN, JUST START FASTING, IT WORKS!!!!!!
@@lifesart1. everyone is always in a fasting/feasting mode but may not realize it...when you are sleeping you aren't eating...which is fasting. When you are in your eating window of time then feasting. The key is to shorten the feasting time down to a minuscule amount so your body can do it's part by repairing itself during fasting time. I usually eat just one meal in the middle of the day. I get everything ready before my first bite so my eating window is short. Then go right back into fasting after my last bite. Every bite is planned and no snacking at all during other times of the day. Every once in a while I get hungry for something with the rest of my family later. Sometimes I push through and continue fasting and other times I enjoy whichever it is. I am not starving, there's always food available, I just know now that the body needs to have a break from eating/calorie intake so it can repair itself and burn off excess weight. I will continue this way of eating forever. During the holidays I already have some keto recipes saved which will help stay on goals. Remember, life happens, I'm not strict 24/7 sometimes I cheat something here and there, but personally it keeps my mental health happy knowing I can if I want but it feels so much better to be healthy and eat healthy. As far as food goes, I make everything homemade and if God made it we eat it and if He didn't we don't eat it. Also for some favorite foods which aren't necessarily "good for you" I look for recipes made into keto from pinterest.
@@lifesart1. mostly just drink water, but sometimes I used to have a spoonful of squeezed citrus in it but not really anymore. A lot of times I have a bulletproof coffee to keep going a few hours more, but I'm trying to give it up completely. If your coffee or tea helps you keep going then it's better than a full on meal, although you should seriously just be stopping any calories intake and just allow your body to heal for a certain amount of time. Be strong, you CAN do it! If you are going to drink plain tea or coffee it's fine but who likes that?! lol
@@blisstopiamindspa578 hi I totally agree..but what advice u have for persons who maybe working night shifts..8pm-8am. Do you think fasting will help as well in losing weight ???
@@janellewright8199 fasting always helps in losing weight. As far as your shifts go you could utilize that time as your fasting since your body is busy working anyway. I used to work a night shift and used my "lunch" hour as a brief nap no eating my entire shift. I have found fasting working no matter what times you choose. You do you and modify what works best for you. 👉 I'm not a doctor, so if you feel you would be putting your health at risk, find a doctor who supports a fasting, naturapathic lifestyle. 😃Just start, it works. Down about 60 now. Next year I'm focusing on targeting exercises to tone up. I am feeling pretty though which was one of my goals was to be happy with myself.
Thank you so much Dr. Fung. For the first time in years, I did not gain weight during the previous Christmas to New Year's Day celebrations. Instead, I lost 1 kg. of weight. I am so in fear of being insulin resistant that I was able to avoid over eating. I still need to lose a lot of weight but I know that I will get there. I will start a three day water fast today to jump start this year.
Dr Fung is everything i have been looking for. I exercise like crazy but can not drop the 7kgs I needed to get my body really healthy because my eating was out of control. He has taught me to embrace the hunger and I have been doing intermittent fasting all week. I can already see the changes and the hunger is dissipating. 😊 I needed a method to control my appetite and this works!
Same. 5 day fasts for me require too much attention and working around family and friends. A few scheduled 36 fasts each week are easily doable and flexible around family plans. Eating, not eating. It's simple. The results of both 5 day and a few 36 hour fasts for me (lower blood glucose, reduced chronic pain, weight loss, food control) seem to be about the same. Even loose skin disappears about the same. But because I want to be sure to get the full benefits of autophagy etc, I plan to do one or two 5 day fasts per year as long as my blood sugar doesn't go too low.
@@karmuppet I let my body naturally go into a 48 hour fast every now and then. After a 36, if I don't feel like eating, feel well, and my blood sugar is ok, I'll let it go to 40, 44, 48 hours or overnight again to 60. But the initial goal is 36.
Just home from holidays and after nearly four weeks only up 4 lbs. But did some gentle fasting while away. This is a timely reminder to shift that excess and get back into my comfort zone. Thanks Dr Fung
Us prolonged-fasters have the mental thermostat / control mechanism to just whack that 1 lbs excess within a couple days, sometimes without interruptions in energy, and live our lives without social restriction. Its ridiculous to skip holiday meals, to skip dining out with family, to restrict during those events. Its equally ridiculous to let yourself become fat, and ridiculous to starve yourself miserable with weeks calorie restriction. Get it over with, as jason said, by hitting it hard and fast. I love this motto, totally adopting it.
@@spicyritas4795 You could wean yourself off of it before starting, or drink it black during the fast if it's too difficult to stop coffee. In that case, your body eventually rejects the coffee within the first 3-5 days (it starts tasting chalky & burnt) and you lose your addiction without withdrawals. But yeah, you'd have to take a week or two to ease off of it in time for a water only fast.
I bought one of your books some time ago. Best invested money ever. Thank you ! You have a fan from Bulgaria :) I lost so much weight and no longer have mood swings.
I'm on vacation right now and my plan is to only eat very special meals. I'm also sticking to mostly one meal a day. I save money for fun stuff to do. I don't just fill up on junky fast food.
Thank you. I gained some summer vacation weight and this video gave me the motivation to push through and do 24 hr and 36 hr fasts this week. I am seeing that my weight is on its way to my pre-vacation weight.
Thank you Sir for all your weight loss advise, it really helps me a lot in losing those stubborn fats. I tried different weight loss coffe, capsules, eating less but the weight & fats doesn't really go away. Now I am almost done on 3rd time 7 days fasting & result is unbelievable! I am seeing reaching my weight goal very soon! THANK YOU SIR!
@@RicardoMartinsCuritiba I am doing water fast for 7 days then rest for few days before water fasting again. I also stop eating foods w/ carbs & sugar. Water fasting is the fastest way to lose weight if done the right way.
Thanks for the info. Planning a trip to USVI next week and want to maintain my positive progress to this point. Will eat twice per day with a few indulges and lots of walking to balance it out!
*I do 18hr fast every day and i am good. The time i try to switch to do 24hr fast i see my scale goes up a bit. I have been experimenting on myself i feel i eat like a glutton when the 24hr hits and also i get tummy ache for obvious reasons. I really want to tune my brain not to eat like a greedy dog and be able to do 24hr fasts with some good results. I lost 70 with 18hr fasts My BF is still high i want to lose more.Wish me luck Dr jason*
Wish I could give a 2 thumbs up and a double like. I love you and all the fabulous advice you share Dr Fung. You are such a blessing to us. Thank you so very much. 👍👍💗🥰
I lost over 100 and kept it off with extended fasting and keto in between. Be careful overdoing it, as it will lose its effect. Get plenty of protein between fasts, and take several weeks between fasts of 72 hours or more. The longer the fast, the longer the break. I did it quarterly, and fasted 10 days to three weeks, depending on how I felt. I never seem to fast longer than 72 hours anymore, having become less obese, but not yet particularly lean. HTH. PS: The protein is a big deal, to avoid losing lean mass, and so is weight-bearing exercise, even while fasted. Protein and weight training (not doing it) are probably the biggest mistake I made. I'm currently at about 90 under my max, after having put maybe 15 pounds of muscle back on.
Dr Fung you are by far the best u tuber!! So greatful to you and your advice. Just use your tips in my life style. I one of those people that are either super one with diet exercise or binging away 🫣 I’m now 44 learned not to punch myself to much try to have a balance 🙏🏽
Interesting that you should mention the holidays because during the Middle Ages, the Catholics in Europe instituted St. Martin's Fast (St. Martin is the Roman who gave the naked man part of his cloak from his horse). This fast works a lot like Lent but goes from 13 November to Christmas Eve. I will research more of this fast, which I hypothisise might have been to conserve the fall harvest till the snow melted and more food could be hunted and/or grown. As I am also minimalist, this Advent fast also checks people's desire to buy, buy, buy, and with fasting, they have the mental clarity to descern better where their money is going during this not only "fat-ridden" but "debt-ridden" time of the year. Great video, as usual, Doctor! You're my new hero!!!
In medieval times all of Europe was pretty much constantly in some kind of fast. Only on the 80 or so feast days per year did people eat freely. Otherwise they could only eat fish some days, fowl some days, nothing other days.
@@LTPottenger Thank you for that insight. I am always looking backwards in time to find out why things are the way they are now. Newton said that he stood on the shoulders of giants, and so go I. Thank you again for your addition to the thread. I enjoy the community here and reading all of people's anecdotes, tidbits, and great information! Cheers from Mexico!
I decided back near middle of June that I was not going to be following a keto or even an intermittent fasting protocol throughout the summer. I anticipated that I was going to put on some weight and was willing to deal with it. When I said 'some weight' I was anticipating perhaps around 15lbs or so max. Well....I sure paid for it. I gained nearly 30lbs back from my lowest weight on keto and IF!!! My clothes barely fit me now and I have barely any fat clothes from before I lost 50lbs. Definitely hitting the keto/IF plan again!! It definitely creeps up on you!!
since I found you on YT in January 2019 I eternally greatful to you .in 2020 I was in a normal weight zone after 50 years-with 67 I got back to my weight with 17 😄Daily 16 / 18 or 20 to 24 hour fasting is now my Jason Fung Livestyle -waightgain lost it's horror
Dr. Jason Fung. I read your book The Obesity code, I'm by far not a obese person but it changed my life and the people around me. Its great to see you got active in the youtube world. You are the only qualified one to talk about topic of fasting in my book. Hope to see more great contents like this!
I think I need to try some extended fasts. I have been on IF since the beginning of the year and while I feel better (lots of non scale victories) I really haven’t lost a great amount of weight. I do notice too that if I eat earlier in the day and fast from lunch time, I feel better - just need to get this into a routine that fits around my whole family.
I eat my feast on Veterans day because free food, then i water fast until the wave of Thanksgiving parties. There is usually several i fast between them. Then i eat only on weekends until Christmas and fast until New Years.
Going to holidays, means enjoying life, also to try new food and enjoy it, but not to exaggerate it. I eat 5days a week sensible and 2 days a week I e joy myself with all foods I prefer, without looming for fat and sugar. And it worked, I kept my weight exactly amd had a great 3 months holiday.
Been doing a 47-1 fast this month of August... have dropped from 298 to 275lbs now. My goal weight is 230! I'm shocked how effective this is after trying so many options over the past couple years. 20 pounds a month will get me to my goal weight in a couple more months of fasting and discipline! TY DR FUNG.
I really do appreciate your videos a lot of the stuff you said is really helping me a lot. It's a breath of fresh air to actually see a doctor who's not calling me a glorified fat ass. Yeah I had a lot of doctor he told me to lose weight and they basically said it at our own words I'm too fat even when I was in high school and I was playing lacrosse with asthma. If Bastion was very popular back then things matter differently for my weight
Big fan of Dr. Fung. I recently went on a week long vacation with family and MIL and thought I would gain a bunch of weight. But I managed to stay on my intermittent fasting (skip breakfast) for the most part and tried to eat a lot of salads, meat and eggs (kind of a keto diet). I gained maybe a pound due to little exercise. Many days I only ate one meal as I really wasn't that hungry (kind of hard convincing my MIL that I didn't need to eat much). Of course, I lost a ton a day after coming home due to a norovirus that went through the family and a week later, am back to normal weight (still need to lose more weight, though).
Currently doing 2 36 to 42 hour fasts a week…feel great…second fast is more difficult and I get needed rest…refeeding is important…protein first…then fat than low carb
All of our family's birthdays and the major holidays are in a seven week period. Seems like all we do is eat, we are are constantly fasting between birthdays and holidays.
DR. JASON FUNG IS GOD SEND IN MY LIFE BECAUSE HE IS MY ANGEL AND HERO!!!!!!!GOD BLESS YOU SIR THANK YOU WITH MY LIFE FOR MY HEALTH WITH THE OUT MOST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR THE HEALTH KNOWLEDGE YOU TAUGHT ME AND TEACH US ALL !!!!!!!!!
Hi Dr Fung let me tell you you have opened my eyes to a great new way to loose and mantain a healthy weight and a healthy body My name is Adriana Im an RN in NYC and Im about to have back surgery on Sep the 23 and I have just begun what I want it to be a 10 day water fast , in order to get myself ready for it… cant tell how excited Im Want to find out if by doing this my spinal fusion has a better chance to fuse faster and better. And bring a detox body to the table Ill let you know how my recovery goes but Im sure it will go much better than expected. Thank you for the insights on fasting they are fascinating
Yes it will heal faster and have more chance of success and also scar less. There have been studies where rats will given fatal wounds with or without fasting most of them lived if they had been fasting while they all died otherwise.
He has to be careful about that because he is a physician. But if you are doing long acting insulin that will just cause problems. For most t2 people if they don't eat they won't need any insulin at all, and after a little fasting won't need any at all if they don't overeat carbs
@@boatsie yes!! as well as Life in the Fasting Lane. Sometimes videos of those who have had their diabetes reversed would be an even greater incentive.
Great video Dr Fung, breaking fasting and weight loss into manageable bite sizes!! (Pun intended!) 🎉😅😊 very motivating in a little by little approach moving into a decent fast.

@@robwestley7370 thanks; I already do IF since quite a while but not losing much or at all right now. Guess it’s the carbs. Sigh....don’t you miss eating some carbs? I’m vegan so well so meat and dairy is out of question...
Dr. Fung has taught me so much over the years. He's a hero of mine.
Went to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tennessee in July for Five days. Ate and drank what I wanted. Came back and did a four-day fast and lost all the extra weight plus a bit more. I'm use to fasting. Have done it for a year and half with a hundred pound weight loss. Fasting makes me feel so healthy! It's so easy and it's free! Thanks Doc for all your amazing advice. Keep the videos coming!
Great work. When fasting, what can you drink when fasting when needing something?
@@crochetlaboratorycrochet3858 When fasting, I drink only water, salted water, black coffee, and green tea.
When training my body to fast and go longer (14 hrs to 16, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48) some mornings I had coffee with heavy whipping cream but didn't try to extend my fast until I could do the current one cleanly (without cream).
Once I could do 48 hrs I didn't drink anything but black coffee and water/ salted water.
When doing a longer fast, I only drink water, black coffee with monk fruit or stevia, green tea and salted water or boullion. I do put one serving of No Salt (potassium) in one of my drinks daily on a 4 day fast. Also apple cider vinegar in lemon water daily. I've had no issues using any of these drinks.
Did you go to any of the crazy dinner theater shows?! I love that area! All the pancake houses crack me up!
@@larkinandlarkin I believe they call them "waffle houses" when I was in that area, we stopped at a Waffle House in a double wide trailer along the side of the road, most people there didn't have a full set of teeth, very sad, this was pointed out to me when I ordered the pecan waffle and a local commented, "you're lucky, I can't eat the pecan waffle without teeth."
Dr. Fung Thank you for all your videos and support. I started IF after reading the Obesity Code and the support from your videos starting last year. I have lost 35 pounds and kept it off!! I feel like a new person, have tremendous energy, sleeping longer with restorative sleep 10 to 12 hours, thinking more clearly, able to stay focused and on task and my BP is stabilized!! Keep your videos coming. You are impacting millions of lives and longevity and quality of life!!!!!
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks to you I lost 36lbs in 7 months....,I fast about 20 hours/day.....I have eaten anything I want but in smaller portions......thanks again dr Fung.....
That's slow progress
Just completed a 7 days water and electrolytes only fast. Dropped 10 pounds. Feeling great
3 pounds of sh*t, 3 pounds of carb-water, and then you lost 4 pounds of body fat.
@@deriancarey77 Normally that would be the case but I am already fat adapted and drank plenty of water during my fast to stay hydrated. If anything I most likely lost some lean muscle due to gluconeogenesis. Prolong fasting raises adrenals which are known to strip away lean mass after 3-4 days.
@@JYAN2852 when you fast even if you drink a lot of water, the body doesn't retain any water cause there aren't any carboHYDRATES, so at least you do ketogenic diet, even from low carb diet when you do a 7 day fast a lot of those pounds lost are water. But I would be happy if got rid of 5 pounds of fat so well done friend.
@@deriancarey77 I understand what you are saying. But I am mostly carnivore pretty much zero carb for past 1 year. I took in 5-6g salt, 3g potassium, 1g magnesium daily during the 7 days. Electrolytes are critical to maintain fluids. I made that mistake 3 years ago when I started low carb. Thanks for your input
@@JYAN2852 did you take a supplement or some kind of salt with the minerals?
One thing to point out as well is if you're trying to lose weight stay away from people places that cause you to relapse to your bad habits..
It's the same thing if you were a recovering drug addict or an alcoholic you need to stay away from people or places within your environment that could cause you to relapse
Soooo love all your information. Thank you for all your great videos. You Sir have been a life saver for me. My A1C was 15 and in 4 months I reversed my diabetes by binge watching you and following your advise. A1C is 5.0 now and I have lost 85 lbs. Thank you Sir. Lots of love from Texas!

I am a 56 year old woman. I had a full hysterectomy. I did OMAD for 2 weeks, 1,300 Cals and water and black coffee only. I ate at 5 pm only. 4:28 I lost ZERO pounds! No weight loss!! Then I switched my 1 hour eating window to noon time. The next day I lost 1 pound!! If it’s not working, switch something!! ❤😊
Dr. Fung Practically save my life with his video and information
I've also found that holiday weight gain is partially water from excess carbs. A 24 hour fast, followed up with my regular 18:6 IF and strict very low carb knocks off 3 pounds in a week.
Amen!! Exactly!
Same here, 3 pounds plus on a 12 day break, but once I got back home and started IF plus keto, 5 pounds fell off in 4-5 days. So nothing to worry about, it’s not fat, it’s just us having too much fun with sweets on holidays!
All but the turkey and green beans of a "traditional" thanksgiving dinner are pretty mut carbs!!! Carb coma d/t insulin spike and not so much tryptophan...... Lol
Oh my goodness.
I love this man, a good good doctor. !
so is the only difference is the additional 24h fast? how many days till i go back to normal fasting schedule?
@@iamkimbap1 only you know your body. For me, a 24 hour fast does the trick.
Thank you Dr. Fung from Russia!
Jason you are changing lives, well mine anyway!!!! 240-185lbs in 5 months!!!!
Thank you, you are so Smart and so Brave for continuing to fight this battle.
People are so closed and opinionated about fasting without listening, studying, and researching like you did!!! ❤
Update, down to 170 now
Dr Jason Fung you must be telepathic. After losing 22 kilos and staying off for nearly 6 months I put on 4 kilos in twenty days. 😭 Yes I am getting back on the Fast wagon. Wish me luck.
Yes, you can do this! What worked before will work again! Trust the process.
My life will never be the same , Thank you Dr Fung . I'm 32 diabetic and trying to lose weight since I was first diagnosed at 14 yo age . I came across Dr fungs videos a while back . I'm one week plus into intermittent fasting 16/8 with 2 meals past couple of days was 18/6 and today I did my first 24 hour fast with one meal . I've lost 3 kgs my bsl has normalized and I work through the day without getting tired or dizzy , neuropathic pain in my legs has gone almost completely ! I'm about to go on a vacation and this video is out 😁 couldn't be happier .
Good for you! Keep it up. His books are so interesting and make sense. You will learn why and how to heal yourself. Good luck to you!
@@JohnsonNestorFamily thank you Jessica I will definitely read his books that's on my to do list now .
Hello Imran are you taking any meds
@@lucywainaina5425 hi Lucy , I'm just taking my regular meds which includes metformin , dapagliflozin and weekly injection of trulicity . Not taking glimepiride since it increases production of insulin in the body and also not taking insulin since I fast and don't need insulin anymore . Have to be very carefully not to have too many carbohydrates so my bsl doesn't spike .
Okay @Imran so metformin is not bad.. I am asking coz on July this month was diagnosed with pre-diabetic I am only 32 and very worried. I am taking metformin 500 once at night. In July I was 68kg , on August 63kg, looking forward to 55 God willing. May God help us all
The simplicity is mind boggling!!
just did a 72 hr fast after a run of summer visitors. 10 lbs off with no pain.
Wow, I only loose 2lbs at most with 72 hours. I am a small women though, low TDEE.

Watching Dr. Fung videos I am more educated and inspired to eat healthy, lose weight and do fasting. And yes in the 70s we used to have 3 meals, no snacks, we used to dance, and not playing games on TV, only few people had computers so we didn't sit down for hours like people do now etc. etc. The only grandfather guru doing exercise in the 70s was Jack Delaney. Now you see fast food everywhere you go. Gas Station didn't used to sell sweets etc. and we used to be skinny and healthy. Thank you Dr. Fung you are a great doctor.
Jack LaLanne was amazing!
Thank you Dr. Fung, fasting works! Whenever I hit a plateau I switch up fasting times like OMAD for 4 days, maybe a 36 48 or 72 hr fast, then a day of no fasting, you know, just switch it up. I let go of my first 50lbs between Feb. 22 and end of July! The ■■■ K E Y ■■■ to weight loss, being healthy, getting your youth back is fasting! WINNING!! PEOPLE☆☆☆●●● LISTEN, JUST START FASTING, IT WORKS!!!!!!
@@lifesart1. everyone is always in a fasting/feasting mode but may not realize it...when you are sleeping you aren't eating...which is fasting. When you are in your eating window of time then feasting. The key is to shorten the feasting time down to a minuscule amount so your body can do it's part by repairing itself during fasting time.
I usually eat just one meal in the middle of the day. I get everything ready before my first bite so my eating window is short. Then go right back into fasting after my last bite. Every bite is planned and no snacking at all during other times of the day. Every once in a while I get hungry for something with the rest of my family later. Sometimes I push through and continue fasting and other times I enjoy whichever it is. I am not starving, there's always food available, I just know now that the body needs to have a break from eating/calorie intake so it can repair itself and burn off excess weight.
I will continue this way of eating forever. During the holidays I already have some keto recipes saved which will help stay on goals. Remember, life happens, I'm not strict 24/7 sometimes I cheat something here and there, but personally it keeps my mental health happy knowing I can if I want but it feels so much better to be healthy and eat healthy. As far as food goes, I make everything homemade and if God made it we eat it and if He didn't we don't eat it. Also for some favorite foods which aren't necessarily "good for you" I look for recipes made into keto from pinterest.
@@lifesart1. mostly just drink water, but sometimes I used to have a spoonful of squeezed citrus in it but not really anymore. A lot of times I have a bulletproof coffee to keep going a few hours more, but I'm trying to give it up completely. If your coffee or tea helps you keep going then it's better than a full on meal, although you should seriously just be stopping any calories intake and just allow your body to heal for a certain amount of time. Be strong, you CAN do it!
If you are going to drink plain tea or coffee it's fine but who likes that?! lol
@@blisstopiamindspa578 hi I totally agree..but what advice u have for persons who maybe working night shifts..8pm-8am.
Do you think fasting will help as well in losing weight ???
@@janellewright8199 fasting always helps in losing weight. As far as your shifts go you could utilize that time as your fasting since your body is busy working anyway. I used to work a night shift and used my "lunch" hour as a brief nap no eating my entire shift. I have found fasting working no matter what times you choose. You do you and modify what works best for you.
👉 I'm not a doctor, so if you feel you would be putting your health at risk, find a doctor who supports a fasting, naturapathic lifestyle. 😃Just start, it works. Down about 60 now. Next year I'm focusing on targeting exercises to tone up. I am feeling pretty though which was one of my goals was to be happy with myself.
I can't believe this channel. So good 😁
You videos are different than other "holiday weight loss" videos and are amazing. Thank you!
Thank you so much Dr. Fung. For the first time in years, I did not gain weight during the previous Christmas to New Year's Day celebrations. Instead, I lost 1 kg. of weight. I am so in fear of being insulin resistant that I was able to avoid over eating. I still need to lose a lot of weight but I know that I will get there. I will start a three day water fast today to jump start this year.
Dr Fung is everything i have been looking for. I exercise like crazy but can not drop the 7kgs I needed to get my body really healthy because my eating was out of control. He has taught me to embrace the hunger and I have been doing intermittent fasting all week. I can already see the changes and the hunger is dissipating. 😊 I needed a method to control my appetite and this works!
Dr Fung you’re THE BEST NEPHROLOGY DOCTOR AND SOUNDEST ADVICE FOR LOSING WEIGHT! Thank you so much!
Right out of your book... periods of feasting followed by periods of fasting.
I agree, 36 hour fasts seem to work far better for me than 24. I've done IF-5 day fasts, and 36 hr is my fav.
Same. 5 day fasts for me require too much attention and working around family and friends. A few scheduled 36 fasts each week are easily doable and flexible around family plans. Eating, not eating. It's simple.
The results of both 5 day and a few 36 hour fasts for me (lower blood glucose, reduced chronic pain, weight loss, food control) seem to be about the same. Even loose skin disappears about the same.
But because I want to be sure to get the full benefits of autophagy etc, I plan to do one or two 5 day fasts per year as long as my blood sugar doesn't go too low.
@@karmuppet I let my body naturally go into a 48 hour fast every now and then. After a 36, if I don't feel like eating, feel well, and my blood sugar is ok, I'll let it go to 40, 44, 48 hours or overnight again to 60. But the initial goal is 36.
Perfect timing! I just got back from vacay and gained a few pounds.
Just home from holidays and after nearly four weeks only up 4 lbs. But did some gentle fasting while away. This is a timely reminder to shift that excess and get back into my comfort zone. Thanks Dr Fung
Dr Fung, your explanation really help, you are amazing! Thanks very much!
Dr. Fung, you are the best! Your presentations are clear and concise. I love it.
Thank you Dr. Fung! you are so consistent and supportive. My goal is to loose 30lbs by the end of the year.
You can can reach your goal. I have the same goal, I started Oct 19th. We got this!
@@Tina-kf5ef Great! so good to know there is someone out there that shares my goal. I'll be sure to update this comment secion come December :-)
Us prolonged-fasters have the mental thermostat / control mechanism to just whack that 1 lbs excess within a couple days, sometimes without interruptions in energy, and live our lives without social restriction. Its ridiculous to skip holiday meals, to skip dining out with family, to restrict during those events. Its equally ridiculous to let yourself become fat, and ridiculous to starve yourself miserable with weeks calorie restriction.
Get it over with, as jason said, by hitting it hard and fast. I love this motto, totally adopting it.
Any tips on giving up coffee to do a pure fast? I can fast but with sweetened coffee/cream.
@@spicyritas4795 You could wean yourself off of it before starting, or drink it black during the fast if it's too difficult to stop coffee. In that case, your body eventually rejects the coffee within the first 3-5 days (it starts tasting chalky & burnt) and you lose your addiction without withdrawals.
But yeah, you'd have to take a week or two to ease off of it in time for a water only fast.
@@cherryl225 thank you for the helpful tip. I’ll try this week. Really appreciate it.
Totally agree! It's so easy to adjust your fasting and quickly get back on track.
@@spicyritas4795 how'd it go?
I bought one of your books some time ago. Best invested money ever. Thank you ! You have a fan from Bulgaria :) I lost so much weight and no longer have mood swings.

Thank you. I gained some summer vacation weight and this video gave me the motivation to push through and do 24 hr and 36 hr fasts this week. I am seeing that my weight is on its way to my pre-vacation weight.
3 times omad, 3 times omad * a proteinshake before my muscle training. and nomad every sunday, works best for me
Excellent doctor very excellent information Dr. Fung Practically save my life
Thank you Sir for all your weight loss advise, it really helps me a lot in losing those stubborn fats. I tried different weight loss coffe, capsules, eating less but the weight & fats doesn't really go away. Now I am almost done on 3rd time 7 days fasting & result is unbelievable! I am seeing reaching my weight goal very soon! THANK YOU SIR!
How does this fasting work?
@@RicardoMartinsCuritiba I am doing water fast for 7 days then rest for few days before water fasting again. I also stop eating foods w/ carbs & sugar. Water fasting is the fastest way to lose weight if done the right way.
You are so wonderful Dr. Fung!
Thank you Dr. Fung ❤ you’re my favorite person to listen to when I want to stay motivated
The thumbnail .. glad to see He’s having some fun with it lol
😂
Thanks for the info. Planning a trip to USVI next week and want to maintain my positive progress to this point. Will eat twice per day with a few indulges and lots of walking to balance it out!
*I do 18hr fast every day and i am good. The time i try to switch to do 24hr fast i see my scale goes up a bit. I have been experimenting on myself i feel i eat like a glutton when the 24hr hits and also i get tummy ache for obvious reasons. I really want to tune my brain not to eat like a greedy dog and be able to do 24hr fasts with some good results. I lost 70 with 18hr fasts My BF is still high i want to lose more.Wish me luck Dr jason*
Maybe you should try a 36 hour?
Wish I could give a 2 thumbs up and a double like. I love you and all the fabulous advice you share Dr Fung. You are such a blessing to us. Thank you so very much. 👍👍💗🥰
Ive been doing 3-4 day water fasting with incremental 10 pound goals.
I lost over 100 and kept it off with extended fasting and keto in between. Be careful overdoing it, as it will lose its effect. Get plenty of protein between fasts, and take several weeks between fasts of 72 hours or more. The longer the fast, the longer the break. I did it quarterly, and fasted 10 days to three weeks, depending on how I felt. I never seem to fast longer than 72 hours anymore, having become less obese, but not yet particularly lean. HTH.
PS: The protein is a big deal, to avoid losing lean mass, and so is weight-bearing exercise, even while fasted. Protein and weight training (not doing it) are probably the biggest mistake I made. I'm currently at about 90 under my max, after having put maybe 15 pounds of muscle back on.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Human Nature! I've been alternating between OMAD and 2MAD for a year now, and I'm better for it.
Dr Fung you are by far the best u tuber!! So greatful to you and your advice. Just use your tips in my life style. I one of those people that are either super one with diet exercise or binging away 🫣 I’m now 44 learned not to punch myself to much try to have a balance 🙏🏽
Thank You Doctor you are my hero
Interesting that you should mention the holidays because during the Middle Ages, the Catholics in Europe instituted St. Martin's Fast (St. Martin is the Roman who gave the naked man part of his cloak from his horse).
This fast works a lot like Lent but goes from 13 November to Christmas Eve.
I will research more of this fast, which I hypothisise might have been to conserve the fall harvest till the snow melted and more food could be hunted and/or grown.
As I am also minimalist, this Advent fast also checks people's desire to buy, buy, buy, and with fasting, they have the mental clarity to descern better where their money is going during this not only "fat-ridden" but "debt-ridden" time of the year.
Great video, as usual, Doctor! You're my new hero!!!
In medieval times all of Europe was pretty much constantly in some kind of fast. Only on the 80 or so feast days per year did people eat freely. Otherwise they could only eat fish some days, fowl some days, nothing other days.
@@LTPottenger Thank you for that insight. I am always looking backwards in time to find out why things are the way they are now. Newton said that he stood on the shoulders of giants, and so go I. Thank you again for your addition to the thread. I enjoy the community here and reading all of people's anecdotes, tidbits, and great information! Cheers from Mexico!
I decided back near middle of June that I was not going to be following a keto or even an intermittent fasting protocol throughout the summer. I anticipated that I was going to put on some weight and was willing to deal with it. When I said 'some weight' I was anticipating perhaps around 15lbs or so max. Well....I sure paid for it. I gained nearly 30lbs back from my lowest weight on keto and IF!!! My clothes barely fit me now and I have barely any fat clothes from before I lost 50lbs. Definitely hitting the keto/IF plan again!! It definitely creeps up on you!!
since I found you on YT in January 2019 I eternally greatful to you .in 2020 I was in a normal weight zone after 50 years-with 67 I got back to my weight with 17 😄Daily 16 / 18 or 20 to 24 hour fasting is now my Jason Fung Livestyle -waightgain lost it's horror
Yes please! I gained 20 lbs over vacation
Dr. Jason Fung. I read your book The Obesity code, I'm by far not a obese person but it changed my life and the people around me. Its great to see you got active in the youtube world. You are the only qualified one to talk about topic of fasting in my book. Hope to see more great contents like this!
I think I need to try some extended fasts. I have been on IF since the beginning of the year and while I feel better (lots of non scale victories) I really haven’t lost a great amount of weight. I do notice too that if I eat earlier in the day and fast from lunch time, I feel better - just need to get this into a routine that fits around my whole family.
Thanks for a reminder. I must start fasting again after my holiday week.
Thank you Dr Fung!
I eat my feast on Veterans day because free food, then i water fast until the wave of Thanksgiving parties. There is usually several i fast between them. Then i eat only on weekends until Christmas and fast until New Years.
Going to holidays, means enjoying life, also to try new food and enjoy it, but not to exaggerate it. I eat 5days a week sensible and 2 days a week I e joy myself with all foods I prefer, without looming for fat and sugar. And it worked, I kept my weight exactly amd had a great 3 months holiday.
DR. FUNG ROCKS😀😀😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I really like to watch your videos you help me to continue this journey of nearly 3 years now.Thank you Dr Fung.
Been doing a 47-1 fast this month of August... have dropped from 298 to 275lbs now. My goal weight is 230! I'm shocked how effective this is after trying so many options over the past couple years. 20 pounds a month will get me to my goal weight in a couple more months of fasting and discipline! TY DR FUNG.
I really do appreciate your videos a lot of the stuff you said is really helping me a lot. It's a breath of fresh air to actually see a doctor who's not calling me a glorified fat ass. Yeah I had a lot of doctor he told me to lose weight and they basically said it at our own words I'm too fat even when I was in high school and I was playing lacrosse with asthma. If Bastion was very popular back then things matter differently for my weight
Big fan of Dr. Fung. I recently went on a week long vacation with family and MIL and thought I would gain a bunch of weight. But I managed to stay on my intermittent fasting (skip breakfast) for the most part and tried to eat a lot of salads, meat and eggs (kind of a keto diet). I gained maybe a pound due to little exercise. Many days I only ate one meal as I really wasn't that hungry (kind of hard convincing my MIL that I didn't need to eat much). Of course, I lost a ton a day after coming home due to a norovirus that went through the family and a week later, am back to normal weight (still need to lose more weight, though).
Thank you for the useful information!!!
Please make a video on what to do of brain fog and low energy problem while we start the fasting. It is getting difficult to manage that.
Currently doing 2 36 to 42 hour fasts a week…feel great…second fast is more difficult and I get needed rest…refeeding is important…protein first…then fat than low carb
You are the best Dr. Fung!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Love the tongue-in-cheek thumbnails Dr. J
I like the example you gave with the spending spree. It does put it in perspective.
Thanks for giving us the tools to understanding how to boost our fat burning process. Cheers!! 🌈
Thank you for your work, Dr. Fung.
That’s what I do hit it fast after a bad day of bad eating I found dry fast for 1 day very effective

And bring a detox body to the table Ill let you know how my recovery goes but Im sure it will go much better than expected. Thank you for the insights on fasting they are fascinating
Yes it will heal faster and have more chance of success and also scar less. There have been studies where rats will given fatal wounds with or without fasting most of them lived if they had been fasting while they all died otherwise.
Yes definitely dr flung
Dr. Fung will you please make a few more videos on diabetes? I need a plan to follow to bring my numbers down without INSULIN injections nightly.
He has to be careful about that because he is a physician. But if you are doing long acting insulin that will just cause problems. For most t2 people if they don't eat they won't need any insulin at all, and after a little fasting won't need any at all if they don't overeat carbs
@@LTPottenger thank you. I appreciate your comment. I’m just desperately trying to do what is right and I knew the insulin wasn’t for me.
