My endocrinologist dismissed me after I found Dr. Fung and started fasting. The endocrinologist said my muscles would waste away and this was very dangerous. This was about 5 years ago, and I am doing great😂😂
Yes. And if you fast wrong, it is true. You should keep your protein intact or even increase it. Fasting is not just stopping eating. It also requires a modified, protein rich, diet when you come out of your fast. Hit the legumes, chicken and fish. And it needs high intensity interval training to maintain muscle mass.
@@deborahblanchard9158 That's really interesting! Did they ever find the reason why? At first glance it doesn't sound logical that your sugar would go up while there is no food to convert to glucose.

Dr. JASON FUNG was my first Dr. Online that I followed for fasting, then it was keto, then now carnivore. So much enlightenment into my nutrition now. I have had high blood pressure, itchy rashy skin, joint pain etc.... all gone now, and a hundred pounds lighter! Thank you to all you Doctors out there that have opened your mind to our life style. Still on this journey, and I will not go back to where I was before.
Ken Berry is causing harm with his bad advice. He should be removed from here. Eating saturated animal fats make insulin resistance worse, yet he is constantly recommending carnivore diets. The only thing worse for you is trans fats. Lard and tallow are especially bad if it ends up in cells that aren't supposed to hold it like cells in your liver or pancreas. Ken Berry has talked about fatty liver being a problem many times, but is unknowingly contributing to the problem. He was dumb enough to call the ADA "incompetent" just because they don't officially endorse his favorite diet.
My endocrinologist, who I was seeing for my thyroid, didn’t tell me that I was strongly pre diabetic for the last two years even though she had been testing for it. I became independently informed by watching docs such as these two, looked at my tests, and realized this. I haven’t been back since and have reversed the trend in six months all on my own.
WOW 😮. INSULIN should be First Test Endocrinologists test, Magnesium levels. Homocysteine, Iron, folate And Vitamin D3 .. next Thyroid levels . And a few others.. This is what their whole medical discipline is about 😮sorry !

As a health coach specializing in fat loss - I wrote a book about this way back in 1998! I basically told people it was all about insulin and eliminating ALL white carbohydrate foods OR any foods that contained white carbohydrate foods. I talked about how bad it was to eat a steak with a baked potato, etc.. People thought I was nuts until they tried it and ALL of them lost weight and got healthier by reversing diabetes, high blood pressure, etc... Great video! Big fan of you both!

I have reversed my type 2 Diabetes by just following his lectures on RUclips. Now I have his books 🙏 Awesome experience, Medicine free is great freedom❤
Dr. Boz wrote a book called Anyway You Can. I read taht book after two of my sisters died within 6 months of heart disease and WITH t2 diabetes. It was not logical not to hunt for more information. I read the book and wanted more information. I found The Diabetes Code. AHAH! I read it and i was on my way to a ketogenic diet. My life is so much better since I learned how to choose good, health building food, and how to fast. I am ever grateful.
Dr Fung was the very first doctor that ever made me aware of intermittent fasting and keto and low carb diets and insulin. So many other people have said the same. He is definitely the OG.
I used VIRTA health through my employer (It's a Keto regimen, keeping it under 20g carbs per day) - I went from an A1C between 7.1 - 11.3 to 5.5 in about 6months.
The Obesity Code changed my life❤ I started intermittent fasting and went off 9 different medications, gained 20 lbs of muscle, reduced my body fat to 26.8%. I was 257lbs now 198 😅
Although still a diabetic if I sin, but I have been off all diabetes medication for 2 months now including insulin. Sticking to the keto diet enabled this.
Dr Jason Fung is the first one who ever gave me hope, AND information, on contolling & overcoming diabetes. His book The Obesity Code gave me the authority to take back control of my medical future.

Dr. Boz, Thanks so much for sharing your channel with your guest, Dr. Jason Fung. As I told in person at the Keto Summit, you are two of my favourite people speaking a common language to people looking to get onto their road to a healthy way of living.
I am so grateful for Dr.Fung. I have bought every book of his on both paperback and audible and I listened to every podcast that he’s in. For me, getting on the fasting journey was articulating why I was doing it. And it had to be more than just losing weight. But ultimately it’s become so much more in terms of health and seeing every biomarker improve.
I had an HbA1 of 43 (UK) and using Dr. Fungs intermittant fasting method, i reversed this to 40!! Thank you Dr Fung, your book is excellent. i did exercise and my muscles are fine.
It is completely LOGICAL!! As an RN I worked on a nephrology unit. That was about 20 years ago. It made me crazy! I didn't know anything about this diet and fasting at that time BUT it made complete sense that all the crap we were feeding them IN THE HOSPITAL caused crazy erratic blood sugars that we couldn't stabilize. Dietitians would send juice on every tray for ALL our diabetic patients and high carbohydrate 5 times a day, because they needed those cookies and fruit all day long. I threw away a lot of stuff of their trays EVERY DAY!! I worked there for a year. It was the most frustrating job I ever had😢
@user-bn3sf4rf5s I offered to move her to a different nursing home nearer to me but she likes where she is. It is also cheapest and she doesn’t want to pay double. I wonder if meals really would be more diabetic friendly elsewhere.
That was a great collab: Dr Boz and Dr Jason Fung. Dr Fung convinced me to try intermittent fasting, and it has helped a lot. He does not have as strong an opinion on low carb / keto as other docs, but that's ok. His advice has helped me lose 14 lb and reduce my insulin sensitivity. I'm on a low carb (
Dr Jason Fung's ideas on intermittent fasting put me on the path to weight loss three years ago. It was the most effortless weight loss. I am a bit sad listening to this interview because I now know how many dissenting voices among his peers he had to deal with.
I am one of the dissenting voices as well. He never provides links to any studies in his videos. "The world according to Jason Fung" doesn't equal evidence. Look at the header of this video. It's all self promotion and promotion for his friend.
Each patient should be given the options directly from their doctor: yes the natural way is going to require a bit more effort and commitment but you don’t need meds; if you want to keep eating the way you are then you needs meds and here you go. I’m worried that modern medicine just assumes everyone wants the easy button whereas some are willing to do the work. I’m thankful for the information shared just disappointed I didn’t coach my dad more before it was too late.
I want to mention that when I was hospitalized for stroke, the doctor put me on insulin, I still followed Dr Fung’s advice, lower carbohydrate diet, I got out of the hospital earlier that the lady next bed to me. She was on 😅nailing and eating a normal high sugary diet. I had my breakfast with egg and yougart, the lady next to me had dessert, toast, jam etc. The nurse said to me your breakfast is the real diabetic diet. So I guess I am doing something right!
Thankyou Drs for this great collab 💪 i think im gonna start following all your advice as i need to be an advocate for my own health. My Gps (uk here) are very slack even tho i have concerns with pre diabetes 👍
I'm a living testimony that DIABETES is reversible. 3 years ago I had a HbA1c of 8.9mmol/dl and was put on pioglitazone by my endocrinologist and it did lower a little bit to 7.9 after 3 months with unexplained side effects including heart failure. I stopped the medication and did a ketogenic diet, 18-6 intermittent fasting, do regular exercise and managed my stress and in 3 months my HbA1c was a stunning 4.2mmol/dl and up to recent time I have a very normal blood glucose level. Thanks to what I learned here in RUclips especially from Dr. Fung.
Men like Dr. Fung, Berry, etc. literally saved my life. And What still amazes me today. Is that it's mostly sheer COMMON SENSE. It's ridiculous and criminal, how far we have walked into stupidity! For unlawful profit...
In the UK, there is the DIRECT clinical trial where abt 46% of the participants managed to reverse t2d in just 3 months. While 46% is a pretty solid fiqure, there is still the other half of the participants that remain diabetic.

I remember a book from a class my mother took in college. It was back in the 60s. The authors were studying the African bushman people. When members left the tribe and went to the city. A significant fraction became diabetic . Some returned home extremely sick . The " uneducated and simple minded " shaman would tell them to eat nothing but giraffe for a time. Contrary to the observers expectations they would get better. Apparently such "primitive people" didn't understand that such advice couldn't possibly help ! They were so "misinformed " that they rapidly got healthier. Rather than taking a variety of drugs. They interacted with friends and family. It's frustrating when someone does all the wrong things and it works.
Maybe you don't understand that the book was from about 60 years ago. I haven't seen it since that time. It was written when textbooks honestly described their subjects. I also believe that was the term used by the authors . Today's text books are very careful with the words they use and are nearly devoid of real content. They are more concerned with supporting the dogma than real information. When that book was written it confounded the current understanding. Yet to promote real knowledge it was published. Education is currently broken by woke. Or whatever the currently appropriate name of the bullshit dogma is.
Hi docter fung i agree with you 100% can you belive it i have tried the fast on thursday last week guess what my bloodglucose went as low as 6 i dont know for how long has it been 30 i thank God we still have good and Godly docters like you i started on thursday today is saturday i am normal i feel so good thank you so much my namebis phumudzo from south africa.
I reversed my type 2. I wouldn't say I cured it because if I get off my diet.. it will come back. I stopped my insulin. I also lost 35 lbs, back to a normal weight of 166lbs . My blood pressures are a lot better (normal) but still on blood pressure meds.
To all the chronic T2D out there still struggling....I am so tired of our mentors ignoring the fact that meat protein is converted to sugar by gluconeogensis. Its also a fact that an egg contains around 06.g of carbohydrates. Its also a fact that if you eat too much meat in a day you will trigger too much gluconeogensis and have elevated BG the next day in an exagerated dawn efftect. I respect our mentors but it seems like they do not understand that some T2D are chronic. Not eating eggs (lets not mention that egg whites contain ablumin), OMAD, no salt, and balancing protein vs fat to avoid too much gluconeogenesis is the trick for chronic T2D, but our mentors just do not seem to get it. Yes I am frustrated but at least I can keep my BG down by only eating ruminat meat (not pigs, not eggs, not chicken, and certainly not fish), and water and OMAD until completely sasiated. Ruminats filter plant toxins in one of thier 4 stomachs called the ruminant (this stomach ferments the plant matter turning it into fat). Pigs, fish and chickens do not filter plant toxins anywhere nearly as well as ruminants. Cows, sheep and goats are ruminants - they have 4 plant toxin filtering stomachs. This version of carnivore puts me in fat burining ketosis(0.4 to 0.8) for 15 hours everyday.
Over time U will heal enough to not have the dawn effect If u stay carni Eat high fat It’s your insulin resistance It takes a longggggggg time to heal. 6-12 mos is not unusual Gluconeogenesis is not a problem once ur healed Keep on keeping on!
Youre right .. when I had high IR just eating grilled chicken & leafy salads was sky -rocketing my BGL's ! But I slam dunked the carbs , fruits & sugar - now my IR is normal & I'm carnivore + dairy with normal BGL's & A1C !
@@infinitum5425 Very well done. For myself unfortunatley I am still chronic. I can only normalize my A1C if I eat eneough fat and less protein for a very long time. So I cannot even eat dairy due to the galactose. My guess is that I will have to be high fat for at least 6 months and possibly up to 2 years. My problem is that I am strggling to eat the fat and end up eating too much red meat which triggers gluconeogensis the next morning and high BG. Glad you caught yours in time, we are not ll that lucky.
@@ketoman4057 My apologies if I sounded arrogant - I wasn't bragging! I was just trying to support & assure you that it can be done! Are you stilll eating carbs ?? You say you're on Keto(?) That suggests you're still eating some kind of carbs ,fruits, grains?? When I slam dunked the carbs not a grain , carb , sugar or fruit in ANY form passed my lips! It was hard work & tough willpower but I was determined .. as a result I lost 42Lbs in 3 months & my type2 markers came down to near normal ranges! Of course I dont know your med records but I suggest get a ultra-sound scan of your liver , pancreas & gen abdominal area see if you have visceral fat issues in your organs AND get a CGM ; watch everything you eat with intensive forensic proclivity & keep records!! Analyse & understand how your body is working!! Good luck my friend! 😉 👍
I would like to hear more about the atypical diabetic that you mentioned who is thin, active and eats low carb yet still has a blood sugar problem. This is me. I also had gestational diabetes with my pregnancies. I’m now wondering if I have autoimmune issues or type 1 like you mentioned.
i still find it stressful to fast, so i’m carnivore no dairy instead. i can easily eat inside about a six hour window. everything seems to be calmly healing.
Dr. Fung said everyone agrees that more carbohydrates more insulin produced. That is the whole point Vegan like Dr. Greger and Dr. Bernard claim the opposite. They said it is settled science that protein and fat induce more insulin produced comparing to carbohydrates. The two positions are mutually exclusive. Also for Vegans high glucose spikes like above 200 after meal is no problem at all as long as it dropped back to normal like 80s.
Love Dr. Boz and Dr. Jason Fung! Also, I would recommend checking out Professor Ben Bikman's book, "Why We Get Sick" (he has great RUclips videos also). Thanks, Dr. Boz, for your great videos!
I have been struggling with controlling my blood glucose for several years now. Even doing keto and now carnivore. Wearing a CGM, etc. I ask for the proper tests from my doctor which he complies. My fasting insulin for the last 4 years is 5 or less. My C-Peptide over the same period is 2.0 or less. My doctor did not know how to order the proper LADA tests so now I have an appointment with a Endo in about 3 weeks. I suspect I might be in early stages of LADA but need to the tests to tell me something. I am also going to get a full Thyroid panel done as I suspect there might be some thyroid issues as well. I'll be curious how this Endo office will recognize low carb. As a retired veteran I have finally been recognized as having been around Agent Orange on the island of Guam. So I am fighting prostate cancer, type 2 diabetes and Hypothyroid will be covered as well...if needed.
We need to get this information into the top of the government. If for no reason other than it will save money. Of course it will save lives and quality of life but money has to be the driver.
Two questions: 1. Does this method of reversal only apply to Type 2 diabetics? Is this the only type that's reversible? 2. How can one do 'Keto' as a vegetarian?
Jason key point is that its not logical to eat carbs, or even recommend to do so, despite a very simple relationship between food, glucose, insulin and getting fat and sick. So, we need to search for an explanation that considers both physiology and behavior. I think T2D, obesity, or hyperinsulinemic disorders can only be understood as "a runaway addiction, based on perverting an evolutionary selected mechanisms linking external ecology to internal physiology, mediated by Fructose, leading to internal intoxication and susceptibility to external intoxications". Fructose\glucose was seasonally available only, and has profound effects on animal behavior. Fructose is kind of eco-physiological messenger, linking environment to behavior to physiology. It is very exceptional in this role. Everything (!!) regarding obesity takes place within that framework. Glucose is the energy part of the story, fructose is the messenger. The messenger creates the addiction, not the energy. The effect is the similar when glucose appears at the same as fat, even without fructose. Thus, obesity and the often following T2D is NOT a metabolic disorder. It is a disorder, observable in metabolism and behavior, caused by an addiction, to which our body is vulnerable. That "addictionability" created a whole supply chain of "food as drugs", a social narrative, and positive feedback loops on every level of the society. It became a disorder of society.
It is very frustrating that I am following everything that Dr. Fung has suggested such as low carbohydrate diet, fasting and exercise, OMAD to trying to lower my insulin, yet when I was admitted to hospital for stroke, the Doctor still had me on insulin. I am not sure what to do because what I am doing , I don’t have the support system.
After years following keto and an active life style I ended up insulin resistant. First year or so it worked well, I got rid of 12 pounds and felt great. Never struggled with food choices and enjoyed my life with no cravings. Untill I started gaining weight. I adjusted anything I could adjust, stopped dairy and nuts, did my exercise, fixed my sleep as good as I could, did intermitted fasting, once a year a prolonged fast. Few days ago my doctor did an insulin resistance test. For years there was this thing, that my fasting blood glucose was too high for someone who lived without carbs. ---- I was confused that my ketones stayed always below 1.0 - mostly below 0.5 - stopped measuring as I got so frustrated. I actually never run on ketones. How is this possible? - I finally have the facts, but not the reason. I'm on Metformin since this week. Is there anyone who expierenced the same? None of my doctors could explain this to me. Can keto lead to insuline resistance?
Are you female and are you perimenopausal or menopausal? Because loss of estrogen can lead to insulin resistance, which can be mitigated with Estradiol (i.e. bio identical estrogen).
What is your fasting glucose before you started keto diet and what is now before metformin? I am 5 months on Carnivore and my fasting BS went up from around 94 to 105.
When attempting to do a 24 hour fast my sugars dropped to 50 at around 20 hours, so had to stop. There was no hunger or other symptoms but it dropped too low so had to stop. Whats the solution?
What were your ketone levels at the time your blood sugar levels were at 50? Dr Boz talks about how that low of blood sugar 50 is not necessarily bad unless your ketones are super high (above 8.0? If l remember correctly)
If you are not taking any medications 50 is great in the context of a keto IF lifestyle. Your body will not let you go too low. If you are on any medications it is life threatening because of the medications. It's in the book

Dietitians would send juice on every tray for ALL our diabetic patients and high carbohydrate 5 times a day, because they needed those cookies and fruit all day long. I threw away a lot of stuff of their trays EVERY DAY!! I worked there for a year. It was the most frustrating job I ever had😢
My mum is in a nursing home, type 2 diabetic, the food they provide is mostly not diabetic friendly. She’s at their mercy.
@honorburza9110 can she not be transferred?
@user-bn3sf4rf5s I offered to move her to a different nursing home nearer to me but she likes where she is. It is also cheapest and she doesn’t want to pay double. I wonder if meals really would be more diabetic friendly elsewhere.
Wow epic... Two brilliant gifted MDs
Dr Fung changed my life. He’s an amazing Dr and so giving. So thankful for him! Thank you for having him on!!
I love this man.
Watching these videos to stay motivated👌
That was a great collab: Dr Boz and Dr Jason Fung. Dr Fung convinced me to try intermittent fasting, and it has helped a lot. He does not have as strong an opinion on low carb / keto as other docs, but that's ok. His advice has helped me lose 14 lb and reduce my insulin sensitivity. I'm on a low carb (
Dr Jason Fung's ideas on intermittent fasting put me on the path to weight loss three years ago. It was the most effortless weight loss. I am a bit sad listening to this interview because I now know how many dissenting voices among his peers he had to deal with.
I am one of the dissenting voices as well. He never provides links to any studies in his videos. "The world according to Jason Fung" doesn't equal evidence. Look at the header of this video. It's all self promotion and promotion for his friend.
@@dan-qe1tbAre you a dissenting voice because he doesn't provide links to the studies or because his recommendations seem to work for many people?
combining common sense with knowledge in medicine makes you the person to follow
Very good discussion with a great deal of great information.
I like the occasional interviews, Annette. Very much.
Love both of you. Dr.Fung helped me understand the benefits of fasting.
My two favorite doctors!
Big smile
Each patient should be given the options directly from their doctor: yes the natural way is going to require a bit more effort and commitment but you don’t need meds; if you want to keep eating the way you are then you needs meds and here you go. I’m worried that modern medicine just assumes everyone wants the easy button whereas some are willing to do the work. I’m thankful for the information shared just disappointed I didn’t coach my dad more before it was too late.
❤❤❤ Dr. Boz and Dr. Fung, I am Type 1 and soon about to break a 24 hour fast. I was 84 pounds.
After insulin am now about 113 a year later ❤❤❤
Yay! My two favorite inspirations together! Thank you!
Thanks for saving my health Jason!
Two of my favorites
I want to mention that when I was hospitalized for stroke, the doctor put me on insulin, I still followed Dr Fung’s advice, lower carbohydrate diet, I got out of the hospital earlier that the lady next bed to me. She was on 😅nailing and eating a normal high sugary diet. I had my breakfast with egg and yougart, the lady next to me had dessert, toast, jam etc. The nurse said to me your breakfast is the real diabetic diet. So I guess I am doing something right!
Thank you! Great discussion and information.
Dr Jason, very technically oriented helping in solving common diseases. Thank you. Please continue spreading the great news! Fron Philippines.
❤ Dr Fung!
I asked my son all the time how he feels after he eats certain food. And now he is much more aware and will have carb days or protein days.
My two expert experts in my arsenal
In ONE place!
Fascinating video this Jason Fung is Incredible!!
Excellent interview. Thank you

If JASON FUNG 👌SAYS SO!
For many years Jason Fung was the only doctor on line to teach me about a low carb diet.
Thankyou Drs for this great collab 💪 i think im gonna start following all your advice as i need to be an advocate for my own health. My Gps (uk here) are very slack even tho i have concerns with pre diabetes 👍
When the authors of two books you've read on keto get together and make a video 😊
Right- it was fun for me too
Jason Fung is LCHF and Dr Boz is keto
I'm a living testimony that DIABETES is reversible. 3 years ago I had a HbA1c of 8.9mmol/dl and was put on pioglitazone by my endocrinologist and it did lower a little bit to 7.9 after 3 months with unexplained side effects including heart failure. I stopped the medication and did a ketogenic diet, 18-6 intermittent fasting, do regular exercise and managed my stress and in 3 months my HbA1c was a stunning 4.2mmol/dl and up to recent time I have a very normal blood glucose level. Thanks to what I learned here in RUclips especially from Dr. Fung.
Men like Dr. Fung, Berry, etc. literally saved my life. And What still amazes me today. Is that it's mostly sheer COMMON SENSE.
It's ridiculous and criminal, how far we have walked into stupidity! For unlawful profit...
In the UK, there is the DIRECT clinical trial where abt 46% of the participants managed to reverse t2d in just 3 months. While 46% is a pretty solid fiqure, there is still the other half of the participants that remain diabetic.
This endocrinologist, Dr. Fung helped me reverse my type 2 about 7 yrs ago on keto. Now I'm full blown carnivore and loving it.
Thank you
Thank you!

My two heros❤❤
I remember a book from a class my mother took in college. It was back in the 60s. The authors were studying the African bushman people. When members left the tribe and went to the city. A significant fraction became diabetic . Some returned home extremely sick . The " uneducated and simple minded " shaman would tell them to eat nothing but giraffe for a time. Contrary to the observers expectations they would get better. Apparently such "primitive people" didn't understand that such advice couldn't possibly help ! They were so "misinformed " that they rapidly got healthier. Rather than taking a variety of drugs. They interacted with friends and family. It's frustrating when someone does all the wrong things and it works.
It is African bush people NOT bushman . Bushman is like referring to Vikings as “ white savages”
Maybe you don't understand that the book was from about 60 years ago. I haven't seen it since that time.
It was written when textbooks honestly described their subjects. I also believe that was the term used by the authors .
Today's text books are very careful with the words they use and are nearly devoid of real content. They are more concerned with supporting the dogma than real information.
When that book was written it confounded the current understanding. Yet to promote real knowledge it was published.
Education is currently broken by woke. Or whatever the currently appropriate name of the bullshit dogma is.
Hi docter fung i agree with you 100% can you belive it i have tried the fast on thursday last week guess what my bloodglucose went as low as 6 i dont know for how long has it been 30 i thank God we still have good and Godly docters like you i started on thursday today is saturday i am normal i feel so good thank you so much my namebis phumudzo from south africa.
Great interview!
I reversed my type 2. I wouldn't say I cured it because if I get off my diet.. it will come back. I stopped my insulin. I also lost 35 lbs, back to a normal weight of 166lbs . My blood pressures are a lot better (normal) but still on blood pressure meds.
To all the chronic T2D out there still struggling....I am so tired of our mentors ignoring the fact that meat protein is converted to sugar by gluconeogensis. Its also a fact that an egg contains around 06.g of carbohydrates. Its also a fact that if you eat too much meat in a day you will trigger too much gluconeogensis and have elevated BG the next day in an exagerated dawn efftect. I respect our mentors but it seems like they do not understand that some T2D are chronic. Not eating eggs (lets not mention that egg whites contain ablumin), OMAD, no salt, and balancing protein vs fat to avoid too much gluconeogenesis is the trick for chronic T2D, but our mentors just do not seem to get it. Yes I am frustrated but at least I can keep my BG down by only eating ruminat meat (not pigs, not eggs, not chicken, and certainly not fish), and water and OMAD until completely sasiated. Ruminats filter plant toxins in one of thier 4 stomachs called the ruminant (this stomach ferments the plant matter turning it into fat). Pigs, fish and chickens do not filter plant toxins anywhere nearly as well as ruminants. Cows, sheep and goats are ruminants - they have 4 plant toxin filtering stomachs. This version of carnivore puts me in fat burining ketosis(0.4 to 0.8) for 15 hours everyday.
Over time
U will heal enough to not have the dawn effect
If u stay carni
Eat high fat
It’s your insulin resistance
It takes a longggggggg time to heal. 6-12 mos is not unusual
Gluconeogenesis is not a problem once ur healed
Keep on keeping on!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Thank you for your words of encouragement. I hope you are right in my case, time will tell.
Youre right .. when I had high IR just eating grilled chicken & leafy salads was sky -rocketing my BGL's ! But I slam dunked the carbs , fruits & sugar - now my IR is normal & I'm carnivore + dairy with normal BGL's & A1C !
@@infinitum5425 Very well done. For myself unfortunatley I am still chronic. I can only normalize my A1C if I eat eneough fat and less protein for a very long time. So I cannot even eat dairy due to the galactose. My guess is that I will have to be high fat for at least 6 months and possibly up to 2 years. My problem is that I am strggling to eat the fat and end up eating too much red meat which triggers gluconeogensis the next morning and high BG. Glad you caught yours in time, we are not ll that lucky.
@@ketoman4057 My apologies if I sounded arrogant - I wasn't bragging! I was just trying to support & assure you that it can be done! Are you stilll eating carbs ?? You say you're on Keto(?) That suggests you're still eating some kind of carbs ,fruits, grains?? When I slam dunked the carbs not a grain , carb , sugar or fruit in ANY form passed my lips! It was hard work & tough willpower but I was determined .. as a result I lost 42Lbs in 3 months & my type2 markers came down to near normal ranges! Of course I dont know your med records but I suggest get a ultra-sound scan of your liver , pancreas & gen abdominal area see if you have visceral fat issues in your organs AND get a CGM ; watch everything you eat with intensive forensic proclivity & keep records!! Analyse & understand how your body is working!! Good luck my friend! 😉 👍
I would like to hear more about the atypical diabetic that you mentioned who is thin, active and eats low carb yet still has a blood sugar problem. This is me. I also had gestational diabetes with my pregnancies. I’m now wondering if I have autoimmune issues or type 1 like you mentioned.
i still find it stressful to fast, so i’m carnivore no dairy instead. i can easily eat inside about a six hour window. everything seems to be calmly healing.
Dr. Fung said everyone agrees that more carbohydrates more insulin produced. That is the whole point Vegan like Dr. Greger and Dr. Bernard claim the opposite. They said it is settled science that protein and fat induce more insulin produced comparing to carbohydrates. The two positions are mutually exclusive. Also for Vegans high glucose spikes like above 200 after meal is no problem at all as long as it dropped back to normal like 80s.
The vegans are idiots
Ur BG shouldn’t move more than 10pts. If it does, ur eating wrong.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah is there any study to support that? The late Dr. McDougal said as long as it comes down that means your pancreas is working.
@@danpan001 mcDougal was a quack
I used to follow Greger and Bernard (along with all the others, Esselstyn, MacDougal, etc) but I kept getting worse off and gained weight.
Love Dr. Boz and Dr. Jason Fung! Also, I would recommend checking out Professor Ben Bikman's book, "Why We Get Sick" (he has great RUclips videos also). Thanks, Dr. Boz, for your great videos!
Both my fav!
Thank you ❤
Awesome video!
I have been struggling with controlling my blood glucose for several years now. Even doing keto and now carnivore. Wearing a CGM, etc. I ask for the proper tests from my doctor which he complies. My fasting insulin for the last 4 years is 5 or less. My C-Peptide over the same period is 2.0 or less. My doctor did not know how to order the proper LADA tests so now I have an appointment with a Endo in about 3 weeks. I suspect I might be in early stages of LADA but need to the tests to tell me something. I am also going to get a full Thyroid panel done as I suspect there might be some thyroid issues as well. I'll be curious how this Endo office will recognize low carb.
As a retired veteran I have finally been recognized as having been around Agent Orange on the island of Guam. So I am fighting prostate cancer, type 2 diabetes and Hypothyroid will be covered as well...if needed.
Prudence comes with experience which comes with age. We shouldn’t be too hard on the young but elders have little excuse.
Any research on GKI and metabolic diseases? Prof Seyfried uses GKI less than 2 for cancer cure.
Read the book
- we cover this. adbl.co/3tQ75WZ
We need to get this information into the top of the government. If for no reason other than it will save money. Of course it will save lives and quality of life but money has to be the driver.
You go first.
I tried that- it did not work out so well
Lol! If a doctor did do that then they will be suicided.
Been to endocrinologist and a fasting insulin level was NEVER done, GP has never done it, dietician never referred to it and NONE said cut starch!!!
Two questions: 1. Does this method of reversal only apply to Type 2 diabetics? Is this the only type that's reversible? 2. How can one do 'Keto' as a vegetarian?
Jason key point is that its not logical to eat carbs, or even recommend to do so, despite a very simple relationship between food, glucose, insulin and getting fat and sick. So, we need to search for an explanation that considers both physiology and behavior.
I think T2D, obesity, or hyperinsulinemic disorders can only be understood as "a runaway addiction, based on perverting an evolutionary selected mechanisms linking external ecology to internal physiology, mediated by Fructose, leading to internal intoxication and susceptibility to external intoxications". Fructose\glucose was seasonally available only, and has profound effects on animal behavior. Fructose is kind of eco-physiological messenger, linking environment to behavior to physiology. It is very exceptional in this role. Everything (!!) regarding obesity takes place within that framework. Glucose is the energy part of the story, fructose is the messenger. The messenger creates the addiction, not the energy. The effect is the similar when glucose appears at the same as fat, even without fructose.
Thus, obesity and the often following T2D is NOT a metabolic disorder. It is a disorder, observable in metabolism and behavior, caused by an addiction, to which our body is vulnerable. That "addictionability" created a whole supply chain of "food as drugs", a social narrative, and positive feedback loops on every level of the society. It became a disorder of society.
Ate watermelon on July 28th. DBR shot up to 399 and didn't come back down to 50 until

This depresses me.
It is very frustrating that I am following everything that Dr. Fung has suggested such as low carbohydrate diet, fasting and exercise, OMAD to trying to lower my insulin, yet when I was admitted to hospital for stroke, the Doctor still had me on insulin. I am not sure what to do because what I am doing , I don’t have the support system.
@10:27 beef has a glycemic index of 0 😮 😮😮😮😮😮
After years following keto and an active life style I ended up insulin resistant. First year or so it worked well, I got rid of 12 pounds and felt great. Never struggled with food choices and enjoyed my life with no cravings. Untill I started gaining weight. I adjusted anything I could adjust, stopped dairy and nuts, did my exercise, fixed my sleep as good as I could, did intermitted fasting, once a year a prolonged fast. Few days ago my doctor did an insulin resistance test. For years there was this thing, that my fasting blood glucose was too high for someone who lived without carbs. ---- I was confused that my ketones stayed always below 1.0 - mostly below 0.5 - stopped measuring as I got so frustrated. I actually never run on ketones. How is this possible? - I finally have the facts, but not the reason. I'm on Metformin since this week. Is there anyone who expierenced the same? None of my doctors could explain this to me. Can keto lead to insuline resistance?
Are you female and are you perimenopausal or menopausal? Because loss of estrogen can lead to insulin resistance, which can be mitigated with Estradiol (i.e. bio identical estrogen).
>> Can keto lead to insulin resistance?
I have never heard of such a thing.
I suggest you try carnivore (BBB&E) for 90 days and find out for sure.
@@jt8142 I am menopausal - but I already was for years when I started it and everything worked well. I started bio identical estrogen some months ago.
What is your fasting glucose before you started keto diet and what is now before metformin? I am 5 months on Carnivore and my fasting BS went up from around 94 to 105.
Keto kind of lead to insulin resistance but opposite mechanism. Less insulin produced due to less need for isulin due to low carbohydrates
When attempting to do a 24 hour fast my sugars dropped to 50 at around 20 hours, so had to stop. There was no hunger or other symptoms but it dropped too low so had to stop. Whats the solution?
What were your ketone levels at the time your blood sugar levels were at 50?
Dr Boz talks about how that low of blood sugar 50 is not necessarily bad unless your ketones are super high (above 8.0? If l remember correctly)
If you are on any medication or certain supplements this may affect you differently - check with your doctor
U didn’t give ur ketone level
I bet ur ketones were nice n high
Fueling ur body this u felt (and WERE) fine
U didn’t need to stop at all
If you are not taking any medications 50 is great in the context of a keto IF lifestyle. Your body will not let you go too low. If you are on any medications it is life threatening because of the medications. It's in the book
I fixed my thyroid after juicing carrots for a couple of months daily. That was years ago and my tests ae still normal 😊🥕
If ive lost weight and now have saggy skin ,can I fix that by fasting and eating this way now?
There are videos on that subject. I think Dr Berg has some.
What are your thoughts on the Kempner diet?
