Dr Fung- i broke a 40 hr fast with a 15 gram collagen peptide drink. I was feeling low energy and picked the first thing I saw and drank. Did I undo the benefits of the fast?
I've just finished a 3 day water fast for today's Solemn Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I wish I had seen your video, because others recommend eggs post 3 day water fast. I ate1 hardboiled egg and a mini pickle before going to bed last night & that turned into some constipation, then diarrhea. Then I went to Mass this morning thought I was going to pass out, but then received the Eucharist and the faintness immediately went away... AMDG Now a couple hours later I'm sipping some chicken bone broth. I do feel a little weak, not sure if that means I should eat something more or take a nap. PLEASE advise. Thank you!
hi thanks for this video. i have some questions: 1. i was told by an expert that when breaking a long fast do not consume raw fruit or veg for at least 2 days, and no nuts either, as these are harder to digest and will cause your digestive system difficulties. ? 2. if after doing 72 hr fast, you broke the fast and then started eating heavily immediately, carbohydrates, proteins etc.....your cells will turn into fat cells right ? is there a way to reverse that damage ? maybe do another 24 hr fast the next day, will that fix it , reverse the fatty stem cells ? if not, then what will ? 3. how many days, after a prolonged fast of 72 hrs, do you wait before you can start consuming a lot of everything ? 3 days after ? 4. i fasted for 72 hrs. this is how i broke my fast: i took a couple of spoonful of kimchi, and half a glass of kefir. then 4 hrs later i ate a small ball of rice with tuna curry. the next day i didnt eat until 18hrs later. what i ate was half avocado, small amounts of grapes, kimchi and lettuce and blueberries. then 5hrs after that i ate a heavey meal, it was a huge bowl of rice with spicy lamb curry with hot chilli pickle. now, i didnt think having a large meal would be a problem since i had it on the 2nd day after i broke my fast. but what i found is that after a couple of hours i started getting cramps in my stomach. then eventually had to go to the toilet for diaorriah. i also felt brain fog and could not concentrate, and i felt a bit bloated and uncomfortable. and sleepy. normally if i have a large meal like this, it never causes me a problem. so what went wrong here ? and what damage have i caused myself ? and how do i reverse this damage ? thanks
OMAD for 8 weeks now. I feel better than Ive felt in 15 years. It never occurred to me that it was dietary. Down 30 pounds but I felt better three days in. Thanks you for the inspiration Dr. Fung.
@@chandassouthernkitchen250 I have been doing "low carb" (less than 100g of carbohydrates) per day on OMAD for last 9 months. Gone from 103kg to 87kg. Staying under 90kg now by keeping the refined carbohydrates down (not easy, because carbs WILL happen). Just take it easy and walk that marathon. Charting it in excel and writing what you eat down, along with measuring your weight loss will motivate you.
I discovered fasting years ago. Last month, we had our annual physical exam in our school, coz I'm a teacher, and my lab results all came back negative. All the teachers who have been saying to me that fasting was bad were all shocked. Meanwhile, all of them got positive results in their lab results. Some from their urine, some from their blood and the others, something wrong with their hearts. I thank God that people like Dr. Jason Fung still exists in this world. God bless you Dr. Jason Fung!!! Love, from the Philippines
Wow that's serious and frequent fasting, sounds like you stepped into it very quickly too. You sound very motivated. I don't think others should feel bad if they can't or don't want to come anywhere near your level/program when it comes to fasting.
you dont eat for a week in a month thats impressive , I aim for 2-3 days a month and one long one per year like 7 days. Im already 50 kg so it hits me hard to do longer. Im doing it for health only
Let me digress abit..i been struggling with Pcos for years. After reading your Book.. The PCOS PLAN, watching your videos on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet. I am happy to say that i been able to reverse my condition, i am ovulating and my periods are regular.Thank you soooooo much DR 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations! A shame that doctors do not apply that I had ovulation problems years and years as a young woman.. in the 80ties to discover after the menopause that it was linked with insuline resistance (a kind of pre-pre-diabetes condition with a normal weight. No doctor knew anything about. They were arrogant and stupid.) No help - and no libido... Keto and IF are: sexy.
Wow what perfect timing. I'm on a 48 hr fast. My last meal was Friday at 3pm and all I've been thinking about today is what I'm gonna eat to break my fast later. Great video as always Dr Fung. I have actually been eating One Meal A Day for over 4 years now. I started July 15. 2017 I am in the best shape of my life. I used to wear size 34" waist jeans now I'm 28". You are a huge reason why I started Intermittent Fasting 4 years ago. You have changed my life and inspired me to make videos of my own journey to help others. I have a mountain bike channel but have made a few Intermittent Fasting videos to help other mountain bikers. Thank you again for everything that you do 🙏🙏🙏
Great work, Tommy, great choices. Credit where it's due, keep the faith! I'm also an avid daily and multi-day faster. Hop over and see my daily routines. *Low-Carb - high protein - medium saturated fats - OMAD 22/2* This is your lifestyle so, I know you'll enjoy it - Good luck - Leo Low-Carb Lion
Way to go! I just recently started 16:8 every day with a 24 hour once or twice a week. Love the results and all the energy! Going to do a 48 on my two month.
Hey beloved how did this go? I have an auto immune condition related to my gut (leaky gut syndrome) linked with severe eczema and in have just done 6 days water fasting, was aiming for 7 but since I’m nutrient deficient I had to listen to my body and begin referring. Had some watermelon to begin with. Then a seamless smoothie with some bladderwrack and kelp for the iodine as it helps my thyroid function. Sorry to digress but I’m just trying to ascertain how you’re doing with such an extended fast and if it has benefitted you and to what extent. I thank you for your reply in advance 😊
@@asagemini6981 Thank you for asking. I did not go the full 30 days. However I had amazing results after only five days of a water fast. Brought all of my inflammation down enough to go through some required testing for allergies. It was a real page turner. I brought my inflammation So well under control that I could slowly but surely one food at a time go back to normal eating. I am also malnutrition due to malabsorption. Although I am not underweight. If I were underweight, I would not have fasted at all. Since that time (three months ago), I have yet to have a flareup. When normally I have a lot of flareups. So from this day forward if I have a flareup I will water fast for five days or until it’s completely under control. Works way way better than prednisone.
@@AimercesttousGod loves those who walk His path... No Holyholyoxenfree required. Works helped, faith made it easier to understand why, but that was God giving me more to do.
I've been doing OMAD since February. I can't stand eating several meals a day now. I didn't realize how bad i felt until I tried eating several times one day. I feel so much better doing omad.
Everyone is so different on what bothers them after a longer fast. When I do less than 40 hours, (been IF over 2 years ) I don't have much problems as long as I eat a very small meal then wait an hour to resume my LCHF diet with 18/6 IF. My longer fasts 3-7days, need much more consideration to refeeding. I've learned I can refeed with scrambling eggs, into sautéed,( in coconut oil) fresh tomatoes topped with nutritional yeast, wait an hour then another small meal maybe yogurt and berries. Wait another hour. Then after that I'm pretty good to go. This has taken me a lot of trial and error to figure out what works for me. I'm age 66 and the healthiest I've ever been after losing 100 pounds. I'm an IF lifer! I will always do IF. Thanks doc for your amazing FREE advice! You're saving the world one video at a time!
I’m so happy I stumbled on to a Jason Fung video about fasting and Type I I diabetes! I think it’s saved my life literally. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 13-15 years ago, my doctor told me I would have diabetes for the rest of my life. Prescribed several medications including synthetic insulin, metformin and others. I probably followed his advice for about 8 or 9 years and felt miserable the whole time. RUclips had a video from Jason Fung about obesity and type 2 diabetes that I stumbled upon and it was the first thing that I ever heard or read about that made complete sense to me. I couldn’t understand why I kept gaining weight even though I was eating the lame dietary recommendations from the doctor and the weight loss industry. My eyes were finally opened hearing what Dr Fung was explaining. My A1C went from 12 to 5.9 after doing some intermittent fasting and several longer term fasts. I’ve gone as long as 14 days a few times and felt fantastic. The longer term fasts seem to work best for me. I no longer take any diabetes medication and am consistently losing weight. Still have a ways to go to get to my ideal weight but I feel so much better not being on that medication. The doctor I was seeing left his practice for 6 months to hike the Pacific Crest trail and I was forced to find another doctor. I’m a Veteran from the Viet Nam era and ended up utilizing my VA benefits for medical. Unfortunately the VA still to this day prescribes Insulin, Metformin , etc…to Type 2 diabetics and promotes a low fat diet for weight loss. WRONG!!! So glad I found Jason Fung on RUclips! I think it’s saved my life! Thank you Dr Fung!!!
Same here. Not as long. Had it real bad maybe couple years. Doctor said the same thing. Went to a dietitian. Sounded like no sense so i did my own digging. Now here i am
@@4grammaton 10 plus days I break it with some soup or broth and wait a few hours and then eat a small portion of Sauer Kraut, wait an hour or two and make some eggs and bacon. Something low carb and not a lot of meat.
Hey I'm glad to here of your success I was recently told that I'm type 2 and that my a1c was 11 how long would you say the process took to lower your a1c and have you seen any other health benefits
@@keithjoyner1055 I think it took me about 6 months to get off all the meds they had me taking. Still have a way to go with the weight loss but I feel so much better. Had some psoriasis pretty bad that cleared up too. So did the high blood pressure. Good luck to you and don’t give up. It works!
This channel rises above other health channels in that it gifts us with fresh, newer, unique info. Many of the others either overly repeat topics or overly copy each other.
Doesn't it just. I have started sharing the videos on my weight loss page. He talks so much since and backs it up with scientific evidence! Holy cow..doctors and health organisation should be Heald accountable for the mis guidance of information and possibly the death of many!
Dealing with achalasia for 20 years. I’m at the end stage of the disease. This is my last-ditch effort to heal my body. Today was my first 18 hour fast but working my way up to a 7+ day. Thanks Dr for one more chance, for hope.
Day 9, lost 11.4 lbs. 21 days to go. Water, bone broth, green tea, celery juice, electrolytes, potassium, vites, magnesium, light exercise, positive attitude, commitment, save money. Thrilled to bits.will ease back to food. Alternate days of fasting. Eventual goal is one meal a day(omad). Was doing this previously, fasting was to reach weigh faster then will maintain with omad. So happy, so worth it. If you think you cannot do fasting then you can't. if you think you can, then it's worth trying. Try one day at a time. I started with 1 day, then 3 days, then 7. Now going for 30. This is for health. Am 66 and do not drink, smoke or prescription drugs. Normal blood pressure. Want to go like this for another 25 years. Was going to end off with good luck, but it's not luck, it's determination and effort to reach my goal. I want to be my best, do my best, and I will have the best. You can too.
Are you saying that that is what you break your fast with or that that is what you eat while you think you are fasting? I am ten years older than you, and probably in better shape. I do not fast to lose weight, no need, I fast for longevity. My two cents is that I have found out that you should not supplement with vitamins or electrolytes while fasting, but if you are taking broth and juice during your fast your are really not fasting, so it may not matter so much.
Why is that? I take supplements and drink water and work out and ive lost alot of weight. Because its a safe option to do so. I agree with u on bone broth because thats breaking a fast. @SkyRiver1
Wow I’ve watched quite a few videos about fasting over the months and you’re the first one I’ve come across that talks about psychological hunger vs physical hunger. Such intriguing information! Makes sense now why every time I fast, although I’m not feeling hungry I’m always watching recipe videos or food vlogs and “want” to eat really badly even though I’m not hungry. Psychological hunger can be a battle! Thank you for this insight. :)
I recently did my complete body check up.. all my reports were norma... i was thnkng thn i realised i do fast on tuesday for my lord hanuman... i fast 30-35 hrs from monday night till wednesday morning... thnk u dr jason fung.. coz of u i am carryng on my belifes and takng care of my health... its a bonus
Once I cut out Carbs and Sugar from my diet it made fasting extremely easy. I could do 1 meal a day every single day all month all year no issues at all. When I used to eat sugar and carbs I was hungry all the time and fasting seemed impossible. It’s all about diet folks. I think your Diet should be a humans top priority. Makes you the best YOU.
You needs carbs, so don't be so quick to disregard them. They are not the enemy, greed is.... Everything in moderation. Go check out carb benefits and what happens to your body without them!!!
Dr Fung I would like to thank you over the last three months I had an A1C of 15 I've followed your book follow your ideas you have saved my life going off of the medicine most of it I am now at 6.3 for my A1C for almost six months now I look forward to my A1C test the doctors had me take it three times they did not believe the numbers
I have been fasting for 3 weeks now, I don't miss eating after 6pm until 10am especially snacking, being a diabetic it was hard not to snack ,I feel better,Thank you for sharing
It's wonderful isn't it. I struggled to lose 10 stone but since fasting...its falling off and I don't really need to to try that hard. The hardest thing is dealing with my partner...he eats almost constantly, like I used too and food was thw glue to our relationship... I am hoping the seed has been sown and he may realise that fasting is the way to go if he wants to lose his weight and feel amazing! I hope and pray! X
Great job! I’m a T2 diabetic as well and do 16:8 IF daily, like you. Having Dr. Fung as a resource is so helpful. With his guidance, I’ve been able to do longer fasts now also, like 36-48 hours.
After 40 years, I finally started burning pounds safely and steadily. I started fasting seriously in January 2019 and today I feel confident to start a 14-day fast. Checking this video again is part of my prep. Dr Jason Fung, thank you for sharing your precious knowledge! IT REALLY WORKS EXACTLY AS YOU SAY!
@@Deondre2026 I did not not start the 14 days fasting yet, because of social meetings. My goal is to burn 10k fat until Jan2023 and the extended fasting is certainly going to help me! 3 or 4 days of fasting are routine for me. Never less than OMAD! Thanks for asking!
Thanks doc, i threw up and went to my knees for a couple of minutes, about an hour of SUCK...it was a 5 day fast, im fasting now and thankfully stumbled upon your video, thanks again DOC
When I hit the stage for my first speaking gig, I'm giving a shout out to Jason Fung. Thank you, Dr. Fung. For your willingness to share, your humility, and your commitment to making this a healthier world. Blessings upon blessings to you!
@@david029014 For me, eliminating all sweeteners is a good change. A few blueberries every now and then in homemade kefir or creme fraiche is all the sweet I need.
Yup. I cut out all sugars ,except a few berries a week in a cruciferous veggie smoothie, for about two months now. Had a red grapefruit for dessert tonight, as a well-deserved treat! Wow! One of the sweetest things I've ever tasted! Was like a whole box of Mike & Ikes! It's amazing how fast our taste buds change!
@@floaterfans this is true, same no sweets for me either. But every once in a rare while I will taste something. A friend brought those tiny baby bananas, he gave me 2, so good, so sweet. But I got right back on keto and omad no problem.
My sister used to have swollen feet , i suggested her to omad ( Not keto) to lower insulin after listening the obesity code (dr fung said insulin will signal kidneys to retain body fluid ), within 2 days all bloating has gone away. That’s amazing!
i get adema in my legs and i can press my thumb into my shin for about a centimetre which remains for hours....i can completely get rid of this by a 3 day water and tea fast.
Thank you Dr Fung! I’m on day 3 of fasting. No real hunger, but nausea, knee pains and lower abdomen cramps. Not sure when I will break the fast, originally I wanted to do 5-7 days. Will probably break it with bone broth, sauerkraut… then salmon/brokkoli . Keep on going everybody!
I'm on day 4 of fasting. Did you take any sea salt with your water for the electrolytes? An imbalance there can cause nausea and probably your muscle cramps too.
Thanks for sharing these tips on breaking a fast! As a beginner to intermittent fasting, I've definitely fallen into the trap of overeating right after fasting. Your insights are really helpful! 👋
Thank you for this valuable info, Dr. Fung. I fast for 5 days every month and I've found breaking my fast with homemade broth helps me ease into my re-feed. I then follow up with soft foods like avocados and eggs.
It's most important to plan, and not to try to do it spur-of-the-moment. He's giving good advice. I'd break my fast with bone broth that has a lot of electrolytes, then wait maybe an hour.
Hello Matthew, first of all, well done for having the strength of mind to undertake a week-long water fast. Secondly, head over and see parts 1 and 2 of my latest 7-day water fast and how I ended it. You don't have to be as anal as you think, seriously! Best of luck to you - Leo Low-Carb Lion
@@missme1103 Yes, my bad, I took part 2 down a little while ago because I wasn't quite happy with how I verbally came across. Please message me on part one of my 7-day fast and I'll fill in the missing blanks for you. Apologies, and thanks for noticing. Good luck to you - Leo Low-Carb Lion
Ty Dr.Fung. What you described reaffirms my thought that I ate too much too fast when I got diarrhea breaking my fast. I think I will enjoy my food more when I have dinner tonight... right after I finish my workout.
I'm on day 12 of 40 of a prolonged fast and have dropped 30 pounds so far. I'll take a week after I break my fast to slowly bring my digestive system back up to speed. Thanks for the information.
Me too. Tomorrow is day 28 for me. I just take bile salts, carb free electrolytes, and some anti bug herbs all in gel capsules. The electrolytes makes things so much easier...
@@richardkalmwater5996 Mann I am feeling super weak all over. It's a chore to do the simplest activities, like I have to take multiple breaks when brushing my teeth for example. I'm taking my 1/2 teaspoon of salt everyday to combat any hyponatremia, but it's tough to pull through. I used to weigh 400 lbs and have come down to 368 as of today tho, so that's a plus. Just wish the weakness would go away.
@@chrischangfong3873 Dr Berg electrolytes in water is what keeps me going. 3 scoops a day with salt. Since the fast, I will get low blood pressure in the morning so I will take a full minute to rise to my feet so I don't fall. After that, I feel decent the rest of the day. I even take a 15 min walk to get some sun. My main goal is to rid myself of SIBO which I believe is at epidemic levels in the USA... A tape measure is your best friend. Take measurements throughout the day to see when your belly bloats and shrinks. Get to know your body's patterns and how it reacts. This info helped me diagnose the SIBO in my body...
I’m 23 days into an indefinite fast. Wanting to loose as much weight as possible. The fatigue you mention sound familiar! I’m not a doctor by any stretch but I would suggest taking more electrolytes and asking your doctor to do some blood work to check your nutrient and electrolyte levels. I’ve never felt better mentally. It’s been wonderful!
@chris Chang Hope your doing ok now.... It's more than just salt we need during fasting....it's the magnesium and potassium in a proper electrolyte powder we need. Take an electrolyte powder instead of just salt.....find a brand that is sugar free and as low calorie as possible for during a fast
Another. very informative presentation - thank you DR Fung . As a side note I was listening to an old radio programme today called 'Dr At Large ' . This programme was from a series of light hearted semi autobiographical accounts of life as a doctor in the UK in the late 40's/ early 50's . They were written by Dr Richard Gordon ( who sadly died in 2017 ) . Anyone growing up in the UK in the 60's/70's would have been aware of these doctor books as they were serialised on TV . What struck me in the episode today was that one doctor said to another ' not to have sugar in your tea because sugar is high carbohydrate and high carbohydrate leads to obesity ' . So doctor at large was written in 1955 and so Dr Richard Gordon must have been taught this theory of obesity . Maybe at med schools in the 40's they were still aware of Banting or maybe because of the shortage of sugar in the war years the harms of sugar were more vocalised so that people didn't think they were missing out too much ???
Hi. What did you eat after your fast, how long, and how did you feel. I'm doing a ten day, and am clueless on what to actually do to break it. I'm looking for an actual guide. Thanks.
@@Reggie2000 I'm sorry, i never saw a notification for this. I ended up doing my longest fast to date of 24 days. I had some watermelon for the 1st day coming off and then incorporated more fruits/juices on day 2 and 3. Have you fasted before? sorry for the late responce
@@wayneharmon704 Yeah, well to little to late! I died! I'm dead man! I hope your happy! Thanks for nothing!!! 😤 JK! No worries. I found a dude with a video who broke it down, so it's all good. He recommended "Low Fodmap" foods. Thanks for reaching out. And congrats on doing 24 days. Awesome! 🤣👍
@@busratz I did 8 days eventually. Never felt hungry ever. But I was doing keto before that(insulin resistance),so already that feeling of hunger was gone. Afterwards,the first day I ate broth and sauerkraut and chicken soup,every half an hour a little bit,second day the same plus some kefir and avocado third daywas able to go back to more solid foods. Day 4 started eating carbs again. I had a good experience,would defo do it again.Oh,and I lost 4kg!
@@a.b.7569. thank you for the detailed answer! I hope to do and experience all the benefits and the weight loss as you did hopefuly. Im doing intermittent fasting for 2 years, mostly eating low carb. What would you reccomment me to do in order to stay motivated? Thanks in advance
@@jimjamson9534 I should have been more clear. Omad is usually 4 hour window & its not continuous eating. It's like going to restaurant..6pm you have small appetizer/ salad to start then meal at 6:30...maybe end with coffee or tea...low carb dessert 7ish pm. I am slow eater. 2 meals is not 2 big meals...one at 2pm & last 6pm.
@@Joy80JJ Ah I didn't realise that. I thought it was one meal a day, eating for 1 hour max. That would make you more of a 20/4? I guess it is what suits your eating habits. I do 18/6, and have a mixed meal at 12.30pm, then a protein meal at 6pm Works for me.
@@Joy80JJ Joy you should write a book... the going to a restaurant once a day diet... the completely bonkers not Omad diet that works for you, which is not an Omad diet at all. The key is the letter O... It stands for One. Not a four hour scoff.
I began eating one meal every 24 hours one year ago, this has prevented me from gaining new weight, but it did nothing to help me lose weight, I have been considering switching to one meal every 48 hours to see if this will help me now lose weight, I am so happy to find this video, thank you!!
OMAD has it's place, but for me regular 36 hour fasts were the best for weight loss (sustained body fat loss) and skin reduction. But with frequent fasting like ADF, on eating days I did not do OMAD. Frequent fasting means you have to be extra kind to your body and eat well (healthy and enough). Of course it depends on goals, amount of excess body fat, diet, etc.
Thank you Dr Fung for your excellent videos🙏 I've learnt so much from them. I've been OMAD for 3 months now!. I do 96 hrs once a month.... the first time I completed a 96 hrs fast, I was ignorant about how to break a fast so I ate what I shouldn't have 😔 oh! boy, I felt sick for 3 days 😩 thanks to your videos I have educated myself 😊 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 💪 Stay safe everyone 💐 @Portugal
Cancer responds very well to fasting. See Dr. Seyfried's studies. It is integral to surviving cancer. Thank you for your very important work, Dr. Fung.
These are great tips and information! I do OMAD and 48hr fasts. I break my 48hr fasts with a cup of my homemade broth soup like chicken vegetable etc. I used to experience tummy upset when I broke it with nuts. Thanks so much for all you do! 😊
@@lynncraft3438 Hi Lynn. This is working really well for me! I'm maintaining right about where I want to stay at 145 lbs. I'm okay with losing a few more but I'm still toning nicely so I'm very happy. Thanks and good luck to you! Be well 🙏😊
@@lynncraft3438 ps. Sorry! When I was working on losing, I did OMAD for four days, then skipped the fifth day entirely ( a 48hr.fast). Now that I just want to maintain, I still do OMAD and skip one day a week ( Wednesday) entirely. I also did a three day fast leading up to Easter and another one last month. I plan on doing another three day fast probably between Christmas and New Years. Three times a year Hope all that makes sense 👍
Great work, Melanie, keep strong and focussed. I know where you're at and I'm rooting for you. You've already completed 10 days so you're officially a BEAST already ; ) Head over and see my stuff, hopefully I'll be able to inspire you a little. Let's hear it for MELANIE, folks.

Kicking ass on my first fast ever, on day 3 now. Thinking about food but just putting it out of my mind by staying busy. Not hungry so much, couple growls of the stomach here and there but that's it. Drinkin lots of tea, water, doing about a TBSP of ACV in water once a day. And just playing video games.
There is no benefit to what you are doing and it is probably harmful, especially if you skip breakfast. The latest clinical evidence is that low carbs increase overall mortality. Find out why and how from the man who stated it all Dr. Valter Longo. ruclips.net/video/06ROURlX6o4/видео.html
I've been doing this now for 8 weeks. My eating window is 6 hours from 730am to 130pm and fast 18 hours. I also walk ave 6km daily. The weight is dropping off nicely and I feel way better overall.
@@vjm7831 yes. Very good to exercise during your fasting. I walk 1 hour long everyday early morning before I break my fast and that will accelerate autophagy. Exercise is very important but do not do HIIT. Check out some information on youtube about exercise during fasting. Fasting alone without exercise doesn't bring satisfied results. Do research with other youtube videos. In general avoid vigorous exercise. Many people recommend brisk walk, that's what I follow and it working well
Nice. How is the routine going? I was on IF with an eating window from 12 pm to 7 pm. Now, I work outside the home so I think I want to change the eating window to start at 8 am to 1:30 pm. There is a long holiday coming up, starting tomorrow. I want to do a 4-day water fast. Next meal is Tuesday morning. I think I should use either a beetroot-carrot-cabbage juice with green powder or a smoothie containing watermelon, goji berries, cacao nibs and green powder. Not decided yet.
I did a 14 day water fast and experienced refeeding syndrome. You have to go really slow even though I broke it with bone broth and waited a few hours I had cooked veggies and protein shortly after, throwing up all night 😂 learn to introduce foods slowly be mindful - sip and savour. Chew and savour. Mastering Fasting for the last 14 years has taught me how much and how fast I eat. Watching my Italian family scoff food made me very mindful I can slow down and its not a race 😅
@@CarbageMan I've heard Dr Chung say that it's better to eat breakfast on OMAD then to eat dinner. It's just harder to do that and most people choose to eat dinner because of family it's a very social thing. If you're doing OMAD and you eat breakfast and nothing the rest of the day that meal is being used up. If you eat your one meal in the evening then you're going to bed and your stomach gets no rest trying to digest that meal all night. It's counterproductive my friend. If you're going to do omad do that one meal in the morning. Then if you really want something for lunch have a very light lunch. I notice on omad that if I have a second meal I get warm I can actually feel if I metabolism speeding up it's pretty cool.
@ I don't know who Dr Chung is. The information you've related comes from a study that came out since I posted. If you're doing OMAD, early eating is better than eating late. I don't eat after 6:30, my friend, and often by 4:30. I lost over 100 pounds. PS: I reviewed the necroed 3-year-old thread, and the posts I replied to don't even exist anymore.

Dr. Fung you are doing great job for us . I wish you all the best . I have problem with fasting i am trying to stop eating after five pm. But strong hunger start after three am. to the rest of the morning . I will be glad to get help thank you.
Hi Sara. Stopping night eating was the first change I made when starting to fast. I began with 12 hours. 6 pm to 6 am. I did not worry about what or when I ate outside of that time. Then I gradually increased it to 14 hour etc. The most important thing for me was to stay busy, stay away from people who were eating, and to stay out of the kitchen. Often I retired to my master bedroom early and did not leave it until 6 a.m. I kept plenty of water near me, often hot water. Once 14 hours was doable, I started cleaning up my eating by removing overly processed carbs and not snacking. That made it so much easier to not eat at night. You can do this. Fasting gets easier and more enjoyable.
I am on day 9. I hope to go 24 more. Will be in territory I haven't been in for over 15 years.....sub 200 pounds. I am 6 foot tall. I have done 12 days before, so realized supplements and electrolytes are the key to go numerous days. Was relieved to see that sardines has a lot of phosphorus to aid in my re-feeding.
This is right on time! I started fasting two years ago and have broken it in many different ways. I've found that watermelon works best for me. Or even a watermelon slushy which is just watermelon and water blended. Anything else makes my stomach hurt. Thanks for the tips!
I’m on day 4 of my first extended water fast. I regularly go back and forth between OMAD and 18-6, so I have a decent tolerance about it. Currently going back and forth between dreaming about food and feeling inspired to keep going. We’ll see where this thing takes us lol
My small portion is always cucumbers lightly dusted with himalayan salt. Didn't realize "raw" was not recommended. I really can't think of anything else I'd want to eat before returning to normal eating. After a fast I really look forward to the cool sliced cucumber. It's like my reward.
Because cucumbers are an unsweet fruit I don't think you'd have to change that (should be in the clear). Just like avocados are an unsweet fruit and he didn't mention cooking the avocado when he mentioned cooking vegetables.
Thank you very much Dr. Jason Fung for a great sharing. I just started IF 168 then to OMAD, usually i break my fast with little bit carrot and a piece of tomato and a cup of warm water. Feeling good and continue to work for it.
I have been doing Keto and time restricted eating for about 7 years. I feel in the best shape of my life. I have noticed though at times, if my first meal, usually in the evening, is too big, or contains nuts / eggs, I don’t sleep well. I will try the pre- meal and avoid certain foods to see if it helps
I have a mild fatty liver for almost 2years, and i was concern about it so i decided to do OMAD and within 5 months my specialists called me that m result is good and back to normal. Only OMAD i did and it's all fixed.

Dr Fung- i broke a 40 hr fast with a 15 gram collagen peptide drink. I was feeling low energy and picked the first thing I saw and drank. Did I undo the benefits of the fast?
I've just finished a 3 day water fast for today's Solemn Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I wish I had seen your video, because others recommend eggs post 3 day water fast. I ate1 hardboiled egg and a mini pickle before going to bed last night & that turned into some constipation, then diarrhea. Then I went to Mass this morning thought I was going to pass out, but then received the Eucharist and the faintness immediately went away... AMDG
Now a couple hours later I'm sipping some chicken bone broth. I do feel a little weak, not sure if that means I should eat something more or take a nap. PLEASE advise. Thank you!
how come your face look round and puffy? not exactly chiseled lol
hi
thanks for this video. i have some questions:
1. i was told by an expert that when breaking a long fast do not consume raw fruit or veg for at least 2 days, and no nuts either, as these are harder to digest and will cause your digestive system difficulties. ?
2. if after doing 72 hr fast, you broke the fast and then started eating heavily immediately, carbohydrates, proteins etc.....your cells will turn into fat cells right ? is there a way to reverse that damage ?
maybe do another 24 hr fast the next day, will that fix it , reverse the fatty stem cells ? if not, then what will ?
3. how many days, after a prolonged fast of 72 hrs, do you wait before you can start consuming a lot of everything ? 3 days after ?
4. i fasted for 72 hrs. this is how i broke my fast: i took a couple of spoonful of kimchi, and half a glass of kefir.
then 4 hrs later i ate a small ball of rice with tuna curry.
the next day i didnt eat until 18hrs later. what i ate was half avocado, small amounts of grapes, kimchi and lettuce and blueberries.
then 5hrs after that i ate a heavey meal, it was a huge bowl of rice with spicy lamb curry with hot chilli pickle.
now, i didnt think having a large meal would be a problem since i had it on the 2nd day after i broke my fast.
but what i found is that after a couple of hours i started getting cramps in my stomach. then eventually had to go to the toilet for diaorriah. i also felt brain fog and could not concentrate, and i felt a bit bloated and uncomfortable. and sleepy.
normally if i have a large meal like this, it never causes me a problem.
so what went wrong here ? and what damage have i caused myself ? and how do i reverse this damage ?
thanks
OMAD for 8 weeks now. I feel better than Ive felt in 15 years. It never occurred to me that it was dietary. Down 30 pounds but I felt better three days in. Thanks you for the inspiration Dr. Fung.
Röck! Congrats!!
Great job
Wow that’s awesome. Do you do low carb for your OMAD? What was your starting weight if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks for sharing.
Awesome
@@chandassouthernkitchen250 I have been doing "low carb" (less than 100g of carbohydrates) per day on OMAD for last 9 months. Gone from 103kg to 87kg. Staying under 90kg now by keeping the refined carbohydrates down (not easy, because carbs WILL happen). Just take it easy and walk that marathon. Charting it in excel and writing what you eat down, along with measuring your weight loss will motivate you.
I discovered fasting years ago. Last month, we had our annual physical exam in our school, coz I'm a teacher, and my lab results all came back negative. All the teachers who have been saying to me that fasting was bad were all shocked. Meanwhile, all of them got positive results in their lab results. Some from their urine, some from their blood and the others, something wrong with their hearts. I thank God that people like Dr. Jason Fung still exists in this world. God bless you Dr. Jason Fung!!! Love, from the Philippines
Yes true fasting is good
I love it when intelligent people (in more ways than just books) are teachers ! Bless your healthy heart !
Omad for 5 weeks now. Lost almost 25 pounds and I do a 3-4 day fast twice per month. I feel great!
Are u including carbs in your diet or no?
Wow that's serious and frequent fasting, sounds like you stepped into it very quickly too. You sound very motivated. I don't think others should feel bad if they can't or don't want to come anywhere near your level/program when it comes to fasting.
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 2nd day is Tuff but after that hunger vanishes
you dont eat for a week in a month thats impressive , I aim for 2-3 days a month and one long one per year like 7 days. Im already 50 kg so it hits me hard to do longer. Im doing it for health only
I fast 3 days at the beginning of each month. Fasting is a natural way if REAL life.
I’m in 45 hours and going to 72. It’s my first 72h fasting, I’ve been fasting just 24h regularly. I hope I can heal my body doing this more.
I'm on 72 hours also

How did it go guys?
How often do you go for 24 hr fasts everyone ???
@@unitard9701you can do it very often if you're used to it.
Let me digress abit..i been struggling with Pcos for years. After reading your Book.. The PCOS PLAN, watching your videos on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet. I am happy to say that i been able to reverse my condition, i am ovulating and my periods are regular.Thank you soooooo much DR 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations! A shame that doctors do not apply that
I had ovulation problems years and years as a young woman.. in the 80ties to discover after the menopause that it was linked with insuline resistance (a kind of pre-pre-diabetes condition with a normal weight. No doctor knew anything about. They were arrogant and stupid.)
No help - and no libido...
Keto and IF are: sexy.

It took me about 6 months. PCOS can be reversed. Our gynecologists don't know that 🙄

About to do a 30 day fast to heal my out of control autoimmune disorder. Wish me luck!
Hey beloved how did this go? I have an auto immune condition related to my gut (leaky gut syndrome) linked with severe eczema and in have just done 6 days water fasting, was aiming for 7 but since I’m nutrient deficient I had to listen to my body and begin referring. Had some watermelon to begin with. Then a seamless smoothie with some bladderwrack and kelp for the iodine as it helps my thyroid function. Sorry to digress but I’m just trying to ascertain how you’re doing with such an extended fast and if it has benefitted you and to what extent. I thank you for your reply in advance 😊
@@asagemini6981 Thank you for asking. I did not go the full 30 days. However I had amazing results after only five days of a water fast. Brought all of my inflammation down enough to go through some required testing for allergies. It was a real page turner. I brought my inflammation So well under control that I could slowly but surely one food at a time go back to normal eating. I am also malnutrition due to malabsorption. Although I am not underweight. If I were underweight, I would not have fasted at all. Since that time (three months ago), I have yet to have a flareup. When normally I have a lot of flareups. So from this day forward if I have a flareup I will water fast for five days or until it’s completely under control. Works way way better than prednisone.
You will be doing it with God's help.

Dr. Fung the legend. Helped me lose over 80lbs!
I've been doing OMAD since February. I can't stand eating several meals a day now. I didn't realize how bad i felt until I tried eating several times one day. I feel so much better doing omad.
Are you still doing OMAD? if so, what are you eating and drinking in a day?
Me too, I become anorexia, I guess 😅
Everyone is so different on what bothers them after a longer fast. When I do less than 40 hours, (been IF over 2 years ) I don't have much problems as long as I eat a very small meal then wait an hour to resume my LCHF diet with 18/6 IF. My longer fasts 3-7days, need much more consideration to refeeding. I've learned I can refeed with scrambling eggs, into sautéed,( in coconut oil) fresh tomatoes topped with nutritional yeast, wait an hour then another small meal maybe yogurt and berries. Wait another hour. Then after that I'm pretty good to go. This has taken me a lot of trial and error to figure out what works for me. I'm age 66 and the healthiest I've ever been after losing 100 pounds. I'm an IF lifer! I will always do IF. Thanks doc for your amazing FREE advice! You're saving the world one video at a time!
I’m so happy I stumbled on to a Jason Fung video about fasting and Type I I diabetes! I think it’s saved my life literally. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 13-15 years ago, my doctor told me I would have diabetes for the rest of my life. Prescribed several medications including synthetic insulin, metformin and others. I probably followed his advice for about 8 or 9 years and felt miserable the whole time. RUclips had a video from Jason Fung about obesity and type 2 diabetes that I stumbled upon and it was the first thing that I ever heard or read about that made complete sense to me. I couldn’t understand why I kept gaining weight even though I was eating the lame dietary recommendations from the doctor and the weight loss industry. My eyes were finally opened hearing what Dr Fung was explaining. My A1C went from 12 to 5.9 after doing some intermittent fasting and several longer term fasts. I’ve gone as long as 14 days a few times and felt fantastic. The longer term fasts seem to work best for me. I no longer take any diabetes medication and am consistently losing weight. Still have a ways to go to get to my ideal weight but I feel so much better not being on that medication. The doctor I was seeing left his practice for 6 months to hike the Pacific Crest trail and I was forced to find another doctor. I’m a Veteran from the Viet Nam era and ended up utilizing my VA benefits for medical. Unfortunately the VA still to this day prescribes Insulin, Metformin , etc…to Type 2 diabetics and promotes a low fat diet for weight loss. WRONG!!! So glad I found Jason Fung on RUclips! I think it’s saved my life! Thank you Dr Fung!!!
Same here. Not as long. Had it real bad maybe couple years. Doctor said the same thing. Went to a dietitian. Sounded like no sense so i did my own digging. Now here i am
What's your regimen for breaking a 10+ day fast, if you don't mind me asking?
@@4grammaton 10 plus days I break it with some soup or broth and wait a few hours and then eat a small portion of Sauer Kraut, wait an hour or two and make some eggs and bacon. Something low carb and not a lot of meat.

Day 9, lost 11.4 lbs. 21 days to go. Water, bone broth, green tea, celery juice, electrolytes, potassium, vites, magnesium, light exercise, positive attitude, commitment, save money. Thrilled to bits.will ease back to food. Alternate days of fasting. Eventual goal is one meal a day(omad). Was doing this previously, fasting was to reach weigh faster then will maintain with omad. So happy, so worth it. If you think you cannot do fasting then you can't. if you think you can, then it's worth trying. Try one day at a time. I started with 1 day, then 3 days, then 7. Now going for 30.
This is for health. Am 66 and do not drink, smoke or prescription drugs. Normal blood pressure. Want to go like this for another 25 years.
Was going to end off with good luck, but it's not luck, it's determination and effort to reach my goal. I want to be my best, do my best, and I will have the best. You can too.
whoa 30 days? how did it go?
What did you eat to break your fasts?
Bone broth breaks your fast
Are you saying that that is what you break your fast with or that that is what you eat while you think you are fasting? I am ten years older than you, and probably in better shape. I do not fast to lose weight, no need, I fast for longevity. My two cents is that I have found out that you should not supplement with vitamins or electrolytes while fasting, but if you are taking broth and juice during your fast your are really not fasting, so it may not matter so much.
Why is that? I take supplements and drink water and work out and ive lost alot of weight. Because its a safe option to do so. I agree with u on bone broth because thats breaking a fast. @SkyRiver1
Wow I’ve watched quite a few videos about fasting over the months and you’re the first one I’ve come across that talks about psychological hunger vs physical hunger. Such intriguing information! Makes sense now why every time I fast, although I’m not feeling hungry I’m always watching recipe videos or food vlogs and “want” to eat really badly even though I’m not hungry. Psychological hunger can be a battle! Thank you for this insight. :)
Insightful! (And this is my comment for the RUclips algorithm).

Once I cut out Carbs and Sugar from my diet it made fasting extremely easy. I could do 1 meal a day every single day all month all year no issues at all. When I used to eat sugar and carbs I was hungry all the time and fasting seemed impossible. It’s all about diet folks. I think your Diet should be a humans top priority. Makes you the best YOU.

Me too. Tomorrow is day 28 for me.
I just take bile salts, carb free electrolytes, and some anti bug herbs all in gel capsules. The electrolytes makes things so much easier...
@@richardkalmwater5996 Mann I am feeling super weak all over. It's a chore to do the simplest activities, like I have to take multiple breaks when brushing my teeth for example. I'm taking my 1/2 teaspoon of salt everyday to combat any hyponatremia, but it's tough to pull through. I used to weigh 400 lbs and have come down to 368 as of today tho, so that's a plus. Just wish the weakness would go away.
@@chrischangfong3873 Dr Berg electrolytes in water is what keeps me going. 3 scoops a day with salt.
Since the fast, I will get low blood pressure in the morning so I will take a full minute to rise to my feet so I don't fall. After that, I feel decent the rest of the day. I even take a 15 min walk to get some sun. My main goal is to rid myself of SIBO which I believe is at epidemic levels in the USA... A tape measure is your best friend. Take measurements throughout the day to see when your belly bloats and shrinks. Get to know your body's patterns and how it reacts. This info helped me diagnose the SIBO in my body...
I’m 23 days into an indefinite fast. Wanting to loose as much weight as possible. The fatigue you mention sound familiar! I’m not a doctor by any stretch but I would suggest taking more electrolytes and asking your doctor to do some blood work to check your nutrient and electrolyte levels.
I’ve never felt better mentally. It’s been wonderful!
@chris Chang
Hope your doing ok now....
It's more than just salt we need during fasting....it's the magnesium and potassium in a proper electrolyte powder we need. Take an electrolyte powder instead of just salt.....find a brand that is sugar free and as low calorie as possible for during a fast
Another. very informative presentation - thank you DR Fung . As a side note I was listening to an old radio programme today called 'Dr At Large ' . This programme was from a series of light hearted semi autobiographical accounts of life as a doctor in the UK in the late 40's/ early 50's . They were written by Dr Richard Gordon ( who sadly died in 2017 ) . Anyone growing up in the UK in the 60's/70's would have been aware of these doctor books as they were serialised on TV . What struck me in the episode today was that one doctor said to another ' not to have sugar in your tea because sugar is high carbohydrate and high carbohydrate leads to obesity ' . So doctor at large was written in 1955 and so Dr Richard Gordon must have been taught this theory of obesity . Maybe at med schools in the 40's they were still aware of Banting or maybe because of the shortage of sugar in the war years the harms of sugar were more vocalised so that people didn't think they were missing out too much ???
I'm on day 11 of a extended water fast. Thanks for all your videos, you're the goat. gl to everyone else out there on your fasting journey
Hi. What did you eat after your fast, how long, and how did you feel. I'm doing a ten day, and am clueless on what to actually do to break it. I'm looking for an actual guide. Thanks.
so what did you end up eating? im wondering the same
@@Reggie2000 I'm sorry, i never saw a notification for this. I ended up doing my longest fast to date of 24 days. I had some watermelon for the 1st day coming off and then incorporated more fruits/juices on day 2 and 3. Have you fasted before? sorry for the late responce
@@jutanboy I had watermelon and fruits for a cpl days, along with some light broth. Have you fasted before?
@@wayneharmon704 Yeah, well to little to late! I died! I'm dead man! I hope your happy! Thanks for nothing!!! 😤
JK! No worries. I found a dude with a video who broke it down, so it's all good. He recommended "Low Fodmap" foods. Thanks for reaching out. And congrats on doing 24 days. Awesome! 🤣👍
I just finished a 7 day fast 😅 Thank you so much for all of your help, Doc. You’re a great human ♥️ Where would we be without you? 🙏
I’m on day 6! How did it go for you?
@@a.b.7569. how was it?
@@busratz I did 8 days eventually. Never felt hungry ever. But I was doing keto before that(insulin resistance),so already that feeling of hunger was gone. Afterwards,the first day I ate broth and sauerkraut and chicken soup,every half an hour a little bit,second day the same plus some kefir and avocado third daywas able to go back to more solid foods. Day 4 started eating carbs again. I had a good experience,would defo do it again.Oh,and I lost 4kg!
@@a.b.7569. thank you for the detailed answer! I hope to do and experience all the benefits and the weight loss as you did hopefuly. Im doing intermittent fasting for 2 years, mostly eating low carb. What would you reccomment me to do in order to stay motivated? Thanks in advance
About to finish my 7 week fast, on day 5.
I do 18/6 with omad or sometimes 2 smaller meals..just depends on my schedule. Been eating this way a little over a year lost 74lbs.
If you are omad on 18/6, if you eat one meal a day, doesn't that mean that your one meal takes 6 hours to eat?
@@jimjamson9534 I should have been more clear. Omad is usually 4 hour window & its not continuous eating. It's like going to restaurant..6pm you have small appetizer/ salad to start then meal at 6:30...maybe end with coffee or tea...low carb dessert 7ish pm. I am slow eater.
2 meals is not 2 big meals...one at 2pm & last 6pm.
@@Joy80JJ Ah I didn't realise that. I thought it was one meal a day, eating for 1 hour max. That would make you more of a 20/4? I guess it is what suits your eating habits.
I do 18/6, and have a mixed meal at 12.30pm, then a protein meal at 6pm
Works for me.
@@Joy80JJ Joy you should write a book... the going to a restaurant once a day diet... the completely bonkers not Omad diet that works for you, which is not an Omad diet at all.
The key is the letter O...
It stands for One.
Not a four hour scoff.
I have been doing the same for last one week. I haven't seen any weight loss. How long does it take to weight loss to kick in?
Thank you Dr. Fung ❤
I loved your book "The cancer code"
I began eating one meal every 24 hours one year ago, this has prevented me from gaining new weight, but it did nothing to help me lose weight, I have been considering switching to one meal every 48 hours to see if this will help me now lose weight, I am so happy to find this video, thank you!!
Are you trying to pack all 3 meals into one? If so that's probably why you're not losing.
OMAD has it's place, but for me regular 36 hour fasts were the best for weight loss (sustained body fat loss) and skin reduction. But with frequent fasting like ADF, on eating days I did not do OMAD. Frequent fasting means you have to be extra kind to your body and eat well (healthy and enough).
Of course it depends on goals, amount of excess body fat, diet, etc.
I love all the work you do and recommend your videos to everyone.
Thank you Dr Fung for your excellent videos🙏 I've learnt so much from them. I've been OMAD for 3 months now!. I do 96 hrs once a month.... the first time I completed a 96 hrs fast, I was ignorant about how to break a fast so I ate what I shouldn't have 😔 oh! boy, I felt sick for 3 days 😩 thanks to your videos I have educated myself 😊 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 💪 Stay safe everyone 💐 @Portugal
Why do you eat when you break your fasts?
Dates ..soup light meal
Cancer responds very well to fasting. See Dr. Seyfried's studies. It is integral to surviving cancer. Thank you for your very important work, Dr. Fung.
These are great tips and information! I do OMAD and 48hr fasts. I break my 48hr fasts with a cup of my homemade broth soup like chicken vegetable etc.
I used to experience tummy upset when I broke it with nuts.
Thanks so much for all you do! 😊
I was thinking of doing what you are doing - the 48 hour fast and OMAD. Is this still working for you? How often do you do the 48 hour fast?
@@lynncraft3438 Hi Lynn. This is working really well for me! I'm maintaining right about where I want to stay at 145 lbs. I'm okay with losing a few more but I'm still toning nicely so I'm very happy. Thanks and good luck to you! Be well 🙏😊
@@lynncraft3438 ps. Sorry! When I was working on losing, I did OMAD for four days, then skipped the fifth day entirely ( a 48hr.fast). Now that I just want to maintain, I still do OMAD and skip one day a week ( Wednesday) entirely. I also did a three day fast leading up to Easter and another one last month. I plan on doing another three day fast probably between Christmas and New Years. Three times a year Hope all that makes sense 👍
@@JohnsonNestorFamily thank you! I’m going to give it a try. How often do you do 48 hour fast? Thank you so much!
@@lynncraft3438 Once a week now. I skip Wednesdays entirely.
I really wish I had watched this first! My first extended (66 hour)ended in experience much like prep for a colonoscopy.
Good point....physical hunger -psychological hunger.
Thanks, I’m on day 10 of 21. I’ve been binge watching your Obesity Code lectures
Great work, Melanie, keep strong and focussed. I know where you're at and I'm rooting for you. You've already completed 10 days so you're officially a BEAST already ; )
Head over and see my stuff, hopefully I'll be able to inspire you a little.
Let's hear it for MELANIE, folks. LIKE, and inspire this strong-minded lady! - Leo Low-Carb Lion x
@@LowCarbMeatMan I surely will, thanks for the encouragement, Leo!
That’s amazing, what days are hardest? How do you fight the temptation to snack and eat?
Wow that's amazing, can't wait til I'm doing the same! Starting my very first 24hr fast tomorrow 🤞🏼
Bedankt
Kicking ass on my first fast ever, on day 3 now. Thinking about food but just putting it out of my mind by staying busy. Not hungry so much, couple growls of the stomach here and there but that's it. Drinkin lots of tea, water, doing about a TBSP of ACV in water once a day. And just playing video games.
I'm on day 6 doing a 10. First few days very difficult. Water Green tea, Camomile ❤
I thought ACV breaks the fast and we were only to do that when we break fast?
I am starting now.. thank you for coming into my life.. I want to touch your feet.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 from India
I've been on a low carb (
Im fasting 18/6 but im add ing my kg
There is no benefit to what you are doing and it is probably harmful, especially if you skip breakfast. The latest clinical evidence is that low carbs increase overall mortality. Find out why and how from the man who stated it all Dr. Valter Longo. ruclips.net/video/06ROURlX6o4/видео.html
"Diarrheas since Easters" nacho libre. Sums up my Easter today. My 1st 89 hour fast, and the digestive issues are no joke!
Thank you for creating this content! You work, your books and clear advice continues to help many.
Another great video Dr Fung! Thanks for taking the time for us loyal subscribers!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
I've been doing this now for 8 weeks. My eating window is 6 hours from 730am to 130pm and fast 18 hours. I also walk ave 6km daily. The weight is dropping off nicely and I feel way better overall.
Bro can we workout or gym in fasted state ? Plz reply
Yes! Dr. Fung and many others have talked about this. It’s a very good time to workout.
@@vjm7831 yes. Very good to exercise during your fasting. I walk 1 hour long everyday early morning before I break my fast and that will accelerate autophagy. Exercise is very important but do not do HIIT. Check out some information on youtube about exercise during fasting. Fasting alone without exercise doesn't bring satisfied results. Do research with other youtube videos. In general avoid vigorous exercise. Many people recommend brisk walk, that's what I follow and it working well
Nice. How is the routine going? I was on IF with an eating window from 12 pm to 7 pm.
Now, I work outside the home so I think I want to change the eating window to start at 8 am to 1:30 pm.
There is a long holiday coming up, starting tomorrow. I want to do a 4-day water fast. Next meal is Tuesday morning. I think I should use either a beetroot-carrot-cabbage juice with green powder or a smoothie containing watermelon, goji berries, cacao nibs and green powder. Not decided yet.
@@vjm7831 yes I workout all the time in fasted state. Once we are fast adapted - I actually feel I have more energy
Been intermittent fasting 4 years . Love it . But I didn't know breaking fast could be done wrongly , ty
Dr. Fung. Another great video. I wanted to say thank you for your participation in the documentary called Reversed. Have a great rest of your Sunday.
Omg, I have been breaking my fast wrong. No wonder why I put on the weight so fast 😢 Thank you for this!
Happy Sunday My People!!!& Dr.Fung
I did a 14 day water fast and experienced refeeding syndrome.
You have to go really slow even though I broke it with bone broth and waited a few hours I had cooked veggies and protein shortly after, throwing up all night 😂 learn to introduce foods slowly be mindful - sip and savour. Chew and savour. Mastering Fasting for the last 14 years has taught me how much and how fast I eat. Watching my Italian family scoff food made me very mindful I can slow down and its not a race 😅
Perfect timing! It's as if Dr. Fung heard my question. :)
Thank you.
May you be well.
I often eat a can of sardines or mackerel as a pre-meal to break my fast before my meal. They’re both nutrient dense and high sources of omega 3s.
Good idea!
@@zlmdragon. not when you eat garbage like most people.
Probably a good idea, especially in water instead of oil.
@@CarbageMan I've heard Dr Chung say that it's better to eat breakfast on OMAD then to eat dinner. It's just harder to do that and most people choose to eat dinner because of family it's a very social thing. If you're doing OMAD and you eat breakfast and nothing the rest of the day that meal is being used up. If you eat your one meal in the evening then you're going to bed and your stomach gets no rest trying to digest that meal all night. It's counterproductive my friend. If you're going to do omad do that one meal in the morning. Then if you really want something for lunch have a very light lunch. I notice on omad that if I have a second meal I get warm I can actually feel if I metabolism speeding up it's pretty cool.
@ I don't know who Dr Chung is.
The information you've related comes from a study that came out since I posted. If you're doing OMAD, early eating is better than eating late. I don't eat after 6:30, my friend, and often by 4:30. I lost over 100 pounds.
PS: I reviewed the necroed 3-year-old thread, and the posts I replied to don't even exist anymore. It was in response to some troll. Deleted.
Takk!
Finishing a 4 day water fast and feeling good!
How did you break. I broke my 72 hour fast with fruits... will it cause any trouble
@@divyanandimalla I just ate some eggs and it went well, I have done about 4 times now, fruit would be good too.
Dr. Fung you are doing great job for us . I wish you all the best . I have problem with fasting i am trying to stop eating after five pm. But strong hunger start after three am. to the rest of the morning . I will be glad to get help thank you.
Hi Sara. Stopping night eating was the first change I made when starting to fast. I began with 12 hours. 6 pm to 6 am. I did not worry about what or when I ate outside of that time. Then I gradually increased it to 14 hour etc.
The most important thing for me was to stay busy, stay away from people who were eating, and to stay out of the kitchen. Often I retired to my master bedroom early and did not leave it until 6 a.m. I kept plenty of water near me, often hot water. Once 14 hours was doable, I started cleaning up my eating by removing overly processed carbs and not snacking. That made it so much easier to not eat at night.
You can do this. Fasting gets easier and more enjoyable.
@@AzaleaBee thank you i will try to keep going 🙏
People, listen before asking questions.
🧠
I really appreciate your time stamps, thank you
I am on day 9. I hope to go 24 more. Will be in territory I haven't been in for over 15 years.....sub 200 pounds. I am 6 foot tall. I have done 12 days before, so realized supplements and electrolytes are the key to go numerous days. Was relieved to see that sardines has a lot of phosphorus to aid in my re-feeding.
🙄 There's always one!!!
Best doctor ever
I’ve never heard such a good explanation on refeeding syndrome. Thank you.
Pretty much did all the things wrong break my 7 day fast 😆Thanks!
This is right on time! I started fasting two years ago and have broken it in many different ways. I've found that watermelon works best for me. Or even a watermelon slushy which is just watermelon and water blended. Anything else makes my stomach hurt. Thanks for the tips!
Good idea! Thanks for the tip
I ended my 3 day fast with watermelon?? Is that fine??? They say not to break with fruit
I'll remember that this summer when I do another fast. Thanks!
I love IF also my 3 day fasting and lost 35 pounds still thinking about 5 day fast, this is real info, thank you.
Thank you for your explanation of how to end fasting the right way. I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks for all you do, Info is always great.
Dr Jason is Fungtastic!! The Fasting King!!!
I’m on day 4 of my first extended water fast. I regularly go back and forth between OMAD and 18-6, so I have a decent tolerance about it. Currently going back and forth between dreaming about food and feeling inspired to keep going. We’ll see where this thing takes us lol
Jason I’m fasting!
Eddie Spaghetti, you like spaghetti or just have worms? 😁
Thanks Jason. Invaluable information.
The pre-meal is a great idea! Will have to try it when I break this fast
It’s funny how I was looking for this particular video like the day before yesterday and know it’s out ❤️
Blimey,Jeason! Awesome! Thank you so much!
My small portion is always cucumbers lightly dusted with himalayan salt. Didn't realize "raw" was not recommended. I really can't think of anything else I'd want to eat before returning to normal eating. After a fast I really look forward to the cool sliced cucumber. It's like my reward.
Because cucumbers are an unsweet fruit I don't think you'd have to change that (should be in the clear). Just like avocados are an unsweet fruit and he didn't mention cooking the avocado when he mentioned cooking vegetables.
When it comes to fasting this is the guy to listen to.
GHEEZ DUDE! What foods should you eat after a 72 hour to 5 day fast??????
Hi Dr. Fung, I'm reading your book right now and enjoying it very much!
Thank you very much Dr. Jason Fung for a great sharing. I just started IF 168 then to OMAD, usually i break my fast with little bit carrot and a piece of tomato and a cup of warm water. Feeling good and continue to work for it.
Near the end of WW2, my Mom had to prevent refeeding syndrome in some of her relatives: she’d been provided with barely enough food but they had not…
I am manual worker can I do fasting?
I have been doing Keto and time restricted eating for about 7 years. I feel in the best shape of my life. I have noticed though at times, if my first meal, usually in the evening, is too big, or contains nuts / eggs, I don’t sleep well. I will try the pre- meal and avoid certain foods to see if it helps
Fabulous tips! Thank you.
I'm about to break a fast and this has really helped me. Thanks!
I have a mild fatty liver for almost 2years, and i was concern about it so i decided to do OMAD and within 5 months my specialists called me that m result is good and back to normal. Only OMAD i did and it's all fixed.
@KenHartman00 I'm good thanks
I knew a relative who also got his fatty liver reversed after started intermittent fasting.
