@@GenRN Forgive me for jumping in on the post but I'm 61 and lost 160lbs by eating healthy keto and learning how to fast! I would recommend reading Dr Fung's book The Obesity Code. It changed my life 👍 You can see my story on The Magic of Fasting RUclips channel 😃. You can do this! I'm loving my fasting lifestyle 🥰. Good luck and be well 😊🙏
Thank you, Dr. Fung. You saved my life. Went from 252lbs to 203lbs, reversed my diabetes, off blood pressure medicine, and bloodwork improved dramatically.
I'm learning to rejoice in the feeling of hunger. Hunger should be interpreted as a good feeling that should be prolonged and enjoyed as your body is telling you "Thank you" for not eating so much and giving your Gi a chance to self clean and heal up any problems while they're still minor.
For me, it all started with Dr. Fung approximately 6 years ago. Today, I eat one big meal a day, most days of the week. At 55, I weight less than when I was a teen. I'm in the best shape of my life and full of energy.
Me too, although it started for me with Lustig although I quickly found Fung after that. I am 60yrs 6'1" 135 lbs (BMI 17.8) fasting insulin 2.9, hsCRP 0.9, trig/HDL 2.1, a1c 5.2. I fast 18/6.
I watched my first Dr. Fung video on 1/6/24. I bought his book on diabetes and the results so far have been wonderful. I weighed 265 lbs. on 1/6. Today, 6/13, I weigh 212. I have been off of insulin since February and Metformin soon after. Everything is better. My blood sugar, my energy and I get around much better. My goal is 190 and the OMAD has been pretty simple and easy. I highly recommend this change to anyone who is overweight.
"The language of the body is hormones.". A Dr. Fung quote that has stayed with me and I've shared many times. Almost four years ago now I read Dr. Fung's The Obesity Code and ended up losing 160lbs. I'm 61 now and living my best life! I'm maintaining well eating healthy keto and fasting. I love my fasting lifestyle and am so thankful. 🙏😃❤. Be well 😊
Me too. I started IF because he explained in an easily understandable way why IF is not starving nor calories restriction. I used to think that until I saw his video during lock down. So while the majority of my F&F were gaining weight, I lost 25lbs pull myself back from diabetes (I was pre) and went back into work feeling and looking like a million dollar😊
Thanks to Dr. Fung I now fast 16 to 18 hours every day! After becoming fast adapted, I continued onto to a Keto diet, then onto Carnivore to restrict the amount of carbohydrate intake during my eating window. Keto worked for me, although rather slowly. Carnivore expedited the weight loss. I now weigh what I did in high school (at age 63). I take no medications. That whole calories in, calories out model we were taught for years was such a waste of time and effort. Although Carnivore is not for everyone, I feel like Dr. Fung has given us all the foundation to proper health recovery. Thank you Dr. Fung for all you do!
@@amyyong6250 I eat 3 times a day within 8 hours. I try to stay under 100g carbs/day, but frequently go higher. But I ride my bike about 12km/day and try to go to the gym twice per week.
Dr. Fung makes the whole issue into a reasonable conversation that is understandable. And he is so funny -”stop eating between meals” which is key part of the whole thing.
Thank you Dr. Fung. Your science just answered a puzzling question I had for more than 10 years. That's when I decided to improve my eating habits and include breakfast which I rarely ever ate. Instant Oatmeal was quick to prepare and my breakfast of choice. To my surprise I found myself getting hungry by 10 am which never happened when I wasn't eating anything before. By the time I went to lunch at about 11:30 I was always ravenous and felt like I could eat a horse. Also, the intense hunger made it more difficult for me to concentrate and I found myself making more mistakes in my work. Gave it up after about a month. 5 years ago, after a terrible visit to my Dr. I started Keto. Lost 50 pounds and kept it off without breakfast or hunger. Thank you Dr. Fung and Dr. Westman. At 65 I feel better than I did in my 30's.
Hey Doc! I am so thrilled to share my incredible weight loss journey with you over the past two months. At 71 years old and formerly obese, I reached my highest weight of 98 kg. After delving into various videos, including yours, I initially lost weight but felt weak and started losing muscle mass. Then, I stumbled upon your interview about the "obesity code" and the science behind it. Inspired, I invested in a fitness watch and a set of scientific digital scales to track my progress. Following your advice, I started a new program - walking 26000 steps a day and eating clean when hungry, focusing on a diet of vegetables and meat. Now here's the exciting part - I have a major sweet tooth, but I've made a breakthrough. I replaced my go-to treats of ice cream and chocolate with frozen fruits like oranges, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Eating them frozen mimics the experience of ice cream but without the guilt! Today, I am ecstatic to report that I've dropped to 82 kilos and I am consistently losing 1 kg every week. I cannot thank you enough for your scientific approach to weight loss that truly works! Thank you!
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 😊
I stopped listening to all the other RUclips doctors and stick with Dr. Fung. No confusion with his messages, and no changing the information from month to month. Thank you!
Your content is so important and life saving. One suggestion: Not everyone knows that insulin is a hormone, nope not kidding. I would just make it clear. Keep feeding us this great content, your practice is super important and you’re helping a lot of people.
@spudbono5747 Yes. at 0:46 Dr. Fung specifically calls insulin a hormone, and he repeats that he is talking about hormones, not just the insulin hormone, several times in the video.
Dear Dr Fung, like most of your followers, I struggle with weight control and I have watched lots of RUclipsrs present this subject. Maybe it's due to a combination of scientific evidence and logic, but without a doubt, in my opinion, your video's are the best. Please keep posting content, you help us all change our mindset and habits with each video.
I went keto in 2020 at 57. I lost 50 lbs and got lean and athletic today at 62 and now with zero meds. I started reintroducing carbs and found that Dr Fung is exactly right regarding high vs low glycemic index carbs.
Thank you, Dr. Fung. I've wasted a lot of time looking at medical info from chiropractors on RUclips. I feel better knowing that you are a medical doctor.
Dr. Fung, since I watched your video back in early February 2024, I went from 87 kg to 73.5 kg by doing 16:8 intermittent fasting, low carb, stop sugar and eat much protein
I lost a 100lbs five years ago. I decided to test the theory and I ate pizza, donuts, rockets, KD, burritos, Doritos. Usually in my recommended calorie range. I put back on 45lbs. As of the beginning of the year I went back on Keto and I have lost 35lbs with much ease. I did get the flu which helped me lose ten pounds.😂
I can gain 20# in one month I can do it several mos in a row It’s completely maddening that it takes mos of 4# loss a month to lose it tho Hormones suck so bad
Have only just come across your channel. I absolutely love it. I have been doing Dr Mosley is 5: diet for the last few months and I have lost 17lbs I always have liked healthy food so I followed the Mediterranean diet, but as I got older I noticed the weight was not shifting. Fasting has really changed that. Thank you for your channel I find it so informative and I agree with somebody else’s comment. We need to clone you and put you in every UK hospital.
Fabulous. Well done. I stopped watching news on a second wave of Covid. I am a happy bunny… but I also don’t know what’s going on in the world. But it’s either this or my sanity. I chose me 😊
Dr. Fung, you started changing my life for the better way back in 2015. Love listening to you and the way you deliver the message, which is always making good sense common sense. You are always informative and motivational❤.
It's interesting how little difference steel-cut oats make. I've seen tests with white vs wheat bread too. I simply gave up the grains and never looked back. No sugar, no grains, no seed oils, minimal starches (like squash.)
Thank you Dr. Fung, I started IF February till now lost pounds a lot 😃 but my goal is to reverse my type 2 diabetes plus am taking statins hopefully soon I’ll reverse both, hopefully I don’t have to do metformin, but feel better and light, thank you so much Dr.Fung,
I think a lot of people struggle reading product labels today. But I agree, for some people who know about GI, it would be useful. I don’t want to be walking with a calculator around a supermarket 😂
Thank you Dr Fung for your good work and your courage to go against the established paradigm on how to treat diabetes. It is nice to see that some doctors can still think out of the box or reintegrate old forgotten medical treatments used before the pharmaceutical industry got to dictate the guidelines.
I think there are people like me who are super sensitive even to the steel cut oats . When I was a high wholegrain vegetarian I had severe problems with satiety so I ate oats as it was meant to be very satisfying.. I ate organic steel cut oats - generally on their own or maybe with full fat natural greek yoghurt. They made me as hungry as alcohol does.! I checked on various nutritional forums and lots of people were saying ' oats do not satisfy hunger ' . In my case even the steel cut organic ones do not . In my experience - not having breakfast controls hunger better than any carb based one .✌️
We are all different. What works for someone, may not work for somebody else. I also found that oats do not kill the craving immediately, but after some time, an hour maybe of not eating anything else, I feel fully stuffed.
I did a 44 hour water fast a few years ago. I'm currently on a water fast again and I'm up to 90 hours. I'm feeling pretty good, so I might push it to 5 days (120 hours). I've had lemon and lime in my water, green tea, and black coffee... not a lot of those things but it has helped with the cravings
At the risk of sounding contradictory, it's the GLYCEMIC LOAD, not the GLYCEMIC INDEX that is the best evaluation of carb effects on insulin and blood glucose response.
Dr. Fung teaches some 'truth' about diets, dieting, fasting, and how to eat healthy. He is Not 'The Truth'. 'The Truth' is Jesus Christ and Him alone. (John 14:6) Dr. Fung does an immense amount of good with his teaching for which I am thankful. His teachings, I believe, contain a lot of truth which he supports with valid research.
I want to share something which reminded me of one of the general themes in the work of Jason Fung. This is by Vernon Howard, a little-known but great modern thinker, from a book called "Inspire Yourself": THE TREACHEROUS ROCKS A wandering tribe settled along the bank of a rushing river. The land on the other side of the river looked pleasant, so the people placed large rocks in the water in an attempt to walk across. But the stones shifted positions so treacherously that the people splashed down into the water, cold and irritable. Their failure continued over the years. Oddly, whenever a stranger wanted to reach the other shore, the villagers recommended the rocks. More oddly, few strangers ever asked, "How come you recommend the rocks when they have done nothing but make you miserable and frustrated?" No matter how traditional or how highly recommended, false methods for reaching the other shore can only cause frustration.
Thank you, Sugar is a cheap and fast pleasure( dopamine)!!! People eat for pleasure and not energy. the faster glucose level go up, the faster it comes down , creating more hunger ! Sugar is a mental health problem, it is addiction, sugar is cheaper, legal and safer pleasure( dopamine ) than drugs and alcohol, you can have anywhere anytime , any age!
Dr, Fung, will cooking potatoes and then refrigerating them overnight and eating the next day reduce the GI? There's been lots of talk lately about resistant starch.. just wondering what the correlation might be, if any.
Dr. Fung could you please address the question of hypothyroidism/ Hashimoto's and intermittent fasting. I have been doing intermittent fasting and minimal carb for four years as of May 2020 and stopped losing weight after 2 months of good success. It wasn't until I developed a large goiter that the doctors took me seriously about my hypothyroid symptoms. I then had to fight and argue to get to a endocrinologist who was willing to try treating me with levothyroxine. All that many of them want to do is push Ozempic. After three months of minimal dose levothyroxine I have finally started loosing again. I am not a quitter and have continued with intermittent fasting because I believe the science that you and Dr. Sarah Hallberg have sited and promote. I'm sure other frustrated angry souls have faced the same thing I have.
Remember the Montignac glycemic index, the precursor to the Keto diet? Still relevant today and quite efficient for sustainable weight loss. What do you think?
For me when I eat husk oat grain I dont need food for a long time,. One thing tha I experience is that grain as nature give to us, soak over night like legumes and cooked like legumes dont give many issues. I notice that if we eat low quantaty there is no issue to. If you eat animal that are feed with modified corn is mutch worse.
I eat carnivore, my body is so insulin resistant, it needs a lot of healing. I ate a pile of roast beef with fried eggs and a lot of fat. And salt. One day soon, I will be normal range, I will be in type 2 remission.
Dr. Fung - Dr. Valter Longo, a longevity expert, says don't fast past 12 hours a day. Any longer, you're susceptible to forming gallstones. Is this true? What is your expert opinion? Thank you!
Why do they still teach carb counting instead of focusing on this? I was turned down for bariatric surgery because as a RN and diabetic I couldn’t sit silently as they failed a class full of adults with the same old lies. In the community I see elementary kids with type 1 who they are encouraging not to eat the right way. I make sure they and their parents know better.
Have you tried intermittent fasting? I have lost almost 100 lbs over the past 10 months--mostly with alternate day fasting--without the nasty side effects of surgery.
Makes sense, but also proves why i need carbs in my life. I weight lift heavily. And if im bulking then i need to eat. But when i do low or no carbs i end up not having an appetite at all.l especially with carnivore, which is why i couldnt do it. I literally had no desire to eat. 😅
Dr. Fung has changed my life. Went from 221 lbs. to 130 lbs. In 10 months following his advice. 😊
Yes! Congratulations 🎉👏
That is incredible!!! I’m hoping for the same. Highest weight 277 lbs. now 244 lbs. I would love 130 lbs. Any advice?
@@GenRN Forgive me for jumping in on the post but I'm 61 and lost 160lbs by eating healthy keto and learning how to fast! I would recommend reading Dr Fung's book The Obesity Code. It changed my life 👍

You can do this! I'm loving my fasting lifestyle 🥰. Good luck and be well 😊🙏
Same here, lost 50 pounds in6 months following his advice. He has totally changed my life and the way of eating.
You changed your life. Not Jason Fung. He just motivated you. Equally important, but only 30% of the job. You did all the rest.
I think you've single handedly helped more people than the whole medical establishment everywhere has done!

Thank you, Dr. Fung. You saved my life. Went from 252lbs to 203lbs, reversed my diabetes, off blood pressure medicine, and bloodwork improved dramatically.
Is your morning blood sugar reading within range now at below 5.6? After how long your diabetes was reversed? Thanks for sharing.

Good for you! I did an 11 day fast last month.
EXCELLENT video. the best explanation I have ever herd. The light bulb went off in my head.
Dr.J, one of the best!
Thank you for sharing this information to the world. ❤
Really interesting and worthwhile 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
At the risk of sounding contradictory, it's the GLYCEMIC LOAD, not the GLYCEMIC INDEX that is the best evaluation of carb effects on insulin and blood glucose response.
Doctor Jason Fung is the TRUTH 💯 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Dr. Fung teaches some 'truth' about diets, dieting, fasting, and how to eat healthy.
He is Not 'The Truth'. 'The Truth' is Jesus Christ and Him alone. (John 14:6)
Dr. Fung does an immense amount of good with his teaching for which I am thankful. His teachings, I believe, contain a lot of truth which he supports with valid research.
I love him so much !
Me too ❤
under dr Fung intermitten fasting utube, I cured my t2d in 4 months since 2021.
Thank you Dr Fung❤
This is why I eat slow carbs like sweet potatoes.
Wow…thanks explaining this in a way we can understand it all. Fascinating.
Excellent information. Thank you!
Thank you
Learning Truely Knowledge From You. Thank You For Your Whole Effort
I want to share something which reminded me of one of the general themes in the work of Jason Fung. This is by Vernon Howard, a little-known but great modern thinker, from a book called "Inspire Yourself":
THE TREACHEROUS ROCKS
A wandering tribe settled along the bank of a rushing river. The land on the other side of the river looked pleasant, so the people placed large rocks in the water in an attempt to walk across. But the stones shifted positions so treacherously that the people splashed down into the water, cold and irritable. Their failure continued over the years.
Oddly, whenever a stranger wanted to reach the other shore, the villagers recommended the rocks. More oddly, few strangers ever asked, "How come you recommend the rocks when they have done nothing but make you miserable and frustrated?"
No matter how traditional or how highly recommended, false methods for reaching the other shore can only cause frustration.
Thank you, Sugar is a cheap and fast pleasure( dopamine)!!! People eat for pleasure and not energy.
the faster glucose level go up, the faster it comes down , creating more hunger ! Sugar is a mental health problem, it is addiction, sugar is cheaper, legal and safer pleasure( dopamine ) than drugs and alcohol, you can have anywhere anytime , any age!
Yes, my tummy has experienced the same results as this study. 🙄🥴
Eat whole wet cooked grains, they're only 500 calories a pound. Flour products are 1500 calories a pound & more with added sugar.
Dr. Fung please talk about CKD also as it relates to DM THANKS DOC
Thank you for these amazing educative videos!
Love, Dr. Jason fung
Thanks Dr Fung!
Dr, Fung, will cooking potatoes and then refrigerating them overnight and eating the next day reduce the GI? There's been lots of talk lately about resistant starch.. just wondering what the correlation might be, if any.
Thank you so much Dr. Fung
Wonderful information! This is amazing
I love you doc you are my fav doc in the world ❤
Excellent..neede this today.....
I always listen to your videos
Thank you. it makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for your help! Q. How long I have to wait eating when blood sugar level increases because of fasting?.
Thanks Dr. Fung!!!
Dr. Fung could you please address the question of hypothyroidism/ Hashimoto's and intermittent fasting. I have been doing intermittent fasting and minimal carb for four years as of May 2020 and stopped losing weight after 2 months of good success. It wasn't until I developed a large goiter that the doctors took me seriously about my hypothyroid symptoms. I then had to fight and argue to get to a endocrinologist who was willing to try treating me with levothyroxine. All that many of them want to do is push Ozempic. After three months of minimal dose levothyroxine I have finally started loosing again. I am not a quitter and have continued with intermittent fasting because I believe the science that you and Dr. Sarah Hallberg have sited and promote. I'm sure other frustrated angry souls have faced the same thing I have.
Did you drink green tea regularly?? Because green tea, a balanced low carb and high carb diet, 16/24 HRS IF, no sugar help losing body fats.
Doctor thank you I would like to tell you that since I stopped eating simple carbohydrates, I am no longer hungry and I eat much less.
Please share the list of fast carbs foods and slow carbs goods.
Thanks!
As always ... excellent.
Remember the Montignac glycemic index, the precursor to the Keto diet? Still relevant today and quite efficient for sustainable weight loss. What do you think?
For me when I eat husk oat grain I dont need food for a long time,. One thing tha I experience is that grain as nature give to us, soak over night like legumes and cooked like legumes dont give many issues. I notice that if we eat low quantaty there is no issue to. If you eat animal that are feed with modified corn is mutch worse.
Yes--not all carbs are created equal. Whole grains and broccoli are very different from sugar and donuts.
I eat carnivore, my body is so insulin resistant, it needs a lot of healing. I ate a pile of roast beef with fried eggs and a lot of fat. And salt. One day soon, I will be normal range, I will be in type 2 remission.
Wishing you successful recovery ❤
Correct Jason fung
Dr. Fung - Dr. Valter Longo, a longevity expert, says don't fast past 12 hours a day. Any longer, you're susceptible to forming gallstones. Is this true? What is your expert opinion? Thank you!
Why do they still teach carb counting instead of focusing on this? I was turned down for bariatric surgery because as a RN and diabetic I couldn’t sit silently as they failed a class full of adults with the same old lies. In the community I see elementary kids with type 1 who they are encouraging not to eat the right way. I make sure they and their parents know better.
Have you tried intermittent fasting? I have lost almost 100 lbs over the past 10 months--mostly with alternate day fasting--without the nasty side effects of surgery.
Makes sense, but also proves why i need carbs in my life. I weight lift heavily. And if im bulking then i need to eat. But when i do low or no carbs i end up not having an appetite at all.l especially with carnivore, which is why i couldnt do it. I literally had no desire to eat. 😅
