Y'all I'm at my Kidney Specialist they are better I went from level 3 kidney disease to 2😭😭😭😥😥😥🙌🙌🙌🙌my doctor is so proud of me! I been working so hard! Dr. Fung has saved my life! I'm so grateful
This man is a legend. I started doing OMAD beginning of July this year. I cut out sugars and reduced my carbs to between 10-20g a day and in just under 5 months, I've lost 100lbs. Just writing this doesn't seem real but it is and I am forever grateful for this knowledge and the power of fasting.
@@TimothyBuerki to be honest, the first 6 weeks I didn't exercise at all. Then I started going for walks. It was an hour at first but I really struggled with it in the beginning and then managed to work my way up to almost 2 hours a day (10k steps), between 5 - 6 days a week. That 2 hr walk can be in one go or split into 2, walk in the morning for an hour and then again at lunch for example. Combine that with keto although sometimes you could say I was doing paleo.
People who don't eat at all ("water fasting") loose less than 20 pounds a month. It's scientifically impossible to loose more 20 pounds a month except by amputating a limb. You are lying. Either you lost less or it took you longer. Probably both.
@@ms-jl6dl wow you must be an expert. Just keep your thoughts to yourself because you sound like you talk rubbish or you're a hater. Sounds like you're both. I got nothing to benefit from exaggerating my results on here. Go ask David Goggins how he lost 100lbs in 3 months. Nuff said.
He is such an amazing doctor!!! I have implemented all his advice and lost 41 pounds in 6 months. My body shape has changed beautifully, and my energy level is so high. At 56 years old I thought I would never lose weight. So happy now!!!
Now I understand why I am not losing weight. Eating too frequent and sometimes little food with the intention to counter balance the effect is a disaster to weight lost failure. Knowledge is power. Thank you Dr Jason.
If you are not losing weight, it is due to you are eating too much overall. It really doesn't matter what time of the day or how many times you eat. It is the total amount. Regardless of how much people may scream about this, that is what is shown in virtually all tightly controlled studies.
I really want to thank you for all that you do and teach. I have lost a total of 90 lbs by listening to your advice.

This chemist retired in 2017 50 lbs overweight. Then had time to walk, swim, cycle a lot. After two years only down five pounds. That defied traditional calorie accounting logic. When COVID hit in 2020, looked for suggestions to optimize my immune system and discovered Dr. Fung’s videos. Intermittent fasting did just that and more. In just three months- Lost 45 lbs.! Normal BMI! Normal BP! NO medications! Weight says off plus much healthier with incorporation on extended fasts once every three months. God bless you Dr. Fung!
Most people only lose 0.5 lbs of actual fat after fasting for 24 hours, which is 15 lbs/month if you never eat at all. 45 lbs is in range for what many people who lose after eating nothing at all for three months (as measured after recovering hydration post-fast). Larger bodies can lose more than that and extremely active people can lose more than than 0.5 lbs of fat per day. The other body type is the extremely fit person with a lot of muscle mass who goes on a fasting binge as a full-time couch potato. You'll lose the lbs, but they won't all be fat. A far more realistic target for most people is 5 lb/s month. That's still 60 lbs in a year, which is a big deal in the big picture. I lost 3 lbs/month for twelve months on a fairly substantial restriction (but I also continued to eat all my favourite fattening foods one day a week).
As a "chemist" you should have known that human body spends/uses pre-determined,same amount of calories every day regardless of physicall activity and that by getting to a "normal weight" is highly benefitial for BP,insulin levels and general health.Add exercise and nutrient-rich diet one can cure,prevent and mitigate 95% of diseases ailling human beings allowing healthcare professionals to deal almost only with accidents,genetical diseases and parasitic diseases. The rest is on us only.
I am so cross. For 30 years I have been losing and gaining about 15 kgs over and over again. I've probably lost and gained my entire body weight twice over. For the past 7 years I have been low carb and now I do IF and my weight has stabilised, I eat well, without counting calories and I never feel hungry (or hangry! ) I do occasionally eat carbs (Christmas is coming!) but now regard low carb/IF as my normal eating pattern and find it easy to slip back into after holidays and celebrations. Doctors and nutritionists etc have been telling us calories in calories out and demonising Dr Atkins and all the time this information has been there. Thanks Dr Fung for posting these videos to which I direct other people who want information, and also for inspiration and motivation for myself.

I've lost 60 pounds following Dr. Fung's teaching since June. Thank you Dr. Fung for this valuable information, will definitely be sharing it with all my family and friends!!!
@@christianschmindt8215 I followed a 6 hour eating window and 18 hour fasting window, eating 2 times a day in between 12noon and 6pm for most of the time, throwing in an occasion 1, 2, and 3 day fast and following a Keto diet with not eating any processed foods, sugar and fruit as well as eating only one ingredient foods, drinking half my body weight in water adding extra Himalaya salt in my food and water to replace my electrolytes, sleeping 6 to 8 hours every night and walking outside every other day 2.5 miles or 7000 steps and practicing breathing techniques and meditation to lower stress and Cortisol. That was my plan I followed.
Thanks Doctor Jason. I personally applied your formula ( Low carb and intermittent fasting) and lost 47 lbs in 8-9 months. It worked perfectly for me. I have normal blood pressure, blood glucose, normal Hba1c, triglycerides and others. I eat two meals a day and feel very well. Thanks again and I will stay with this diet for the rest of my life.
I get what you mean, but fundamentally you still need to be in a deficit. I do keto and IF, but I don't eat 5000 cals of Keto lol IF and Keto just makes it much easier to be in a deficit. Everyone diff, but that works for me and main thing is that it's sustainable
Yeah,that's true. No concetration camp survivors ever counted their calories,but there they were,skinny yet happy. And Nutella is VERY healthy,specially in combo with doubble-glazed doughnuts. It can induce rapid weight loss by urgent leg amputation after complications from diabetis.
Dr. Fung, kudos to you! Your videos have enlightened me, giving concrete advice on how to lose weight. Please ignore all idiots who may be criticizing you or questioning you. You are going against so many doctors who must now be feeling guilty because of their bad and incomplete advice, and this is no small feat.
Thank you Dr. Jason…I’ve extended my intermittent fasting to 18 hours in hope to loose those last clinging 30 pounds. I’ve started a strict keto program (carbs under 20) and walking program to help.
Consider fasting for longer periods if you want to lose weight more quickly. If you can get to 36 or 42 hours three times per week (basically, eat every other day) you have a much better chance of losing those stubborn pounds. This is straight from Dr Fung’s books and it’s the protocol for weight loss he recommends in his clinic.
@@hannahandrainn I stay under carbs a day most of the time. I get all those carbs from non-starchy vegetables only (mostly green vegetables it I add in some onion, garlic, and tomato). I eat no sugar, wheat, quinoa, corn, potatoes, and very little dairy (cheese once or twice a week). Carb counts are on the package labels if you live in the USA.
@@sternits thanks. I'm plant based so it's pretty much cutting out all bread, pasta, etc. Gosh...I'll give it a go soon once I've used the foods up I already have. Thank you for answering :)
@@hannahandrainn Make sure to up your plant protein and fats so you’re satiated. Hopefully you can do eggs and some dairy. There’s a vegetarian keto RUclips channel that has great recipes for plant based low carb foods. I’ll try to find the name of it an post it for you.
Since going low carb and IF 16/8 my sweet cravings have virtually all disappeared and trust me I was a sugarholic working from home and living alone so no peer pressure to eat well and snacks and processed food literally got me through my work day and depression once the day ended and I had hours before me alone. I’m a 4’11” woman with sedentary lifestyle so losing weight is always hard as I have to go quite low on calories 1000-1200 and it’s just not sustainable and you reach a plateau very quickly anyway. However since I adapted my eating habits and listened to Dr Fung and the Diet Doctor channel and realised my hormones are literally the brains of how well I do at reaching and maintaining a healthy weight - IT CHANGED EVERYTHING! The low carb nature of my food means I’m generally always satiated and can just get on with life. I don’t know if it’s related but I’m sure I have a clearer more positive mindset now. The greatest joy is also to work around the perimeter of my supermarket only and get my shopping done in half the time. As for snacking - it just looks like toy food and I can’t believe there’s such a huge and growing market for this nonsense ‘food’. The only time I eat high carb and deserts, drink sugary alcohol etc is if I’m out with friends since that’s the only physically and mentally healthy way to consume those foods and there is the benefit of pleasure and enjoyment associated with it - which is the point of life after all! The next day however I’m right back on my 16/8 and healthy foods and it’s never a chore - in fact it brings calm and order into my life to eat like that rather than my previous ravenous and mood driven self when I would actually get major stress trying to decide which take out, desert or sweets to order from my sofa almost every other night. It literally controlled me so I am so glad to be able to have what essentially is freedom from that drug induced state to where I am now. Lighter and happier!!
Thank you Dr. Jason Fung for promoting how unhealthy being fat is. More people need to hear your logical scientific well-stated message that being fat is unhealthy. They don't need to listen to you suggestions for methods for weight loss, they can listen to other people, but they need to understand that being FAT is UNHEALTHY. Your videos or very helpful and informative. They do a wonderful job reminding me how unhealthy is is to be FAT.
Congrats to all who have lost or maintained their weight loss following Dr. Fung’s advice. So heartwarming to read. There’s no going back after it. Genuinely life changing.
By far the best doctor on RUclips. Lost weight with intermittent fasting and low-carb. If anyone experiences doctors saying to go on a lipid, watch videos about it. Don’t do it.
I love hearing this message again and again so close to Thanksgiving. I will be fasting my normal amount of days. Enjoy Thanksgiving and fast the following week for my normal amount of days. Last year I didn't gain 10lbs over holidays fasting regularly. This year I expected the same.
Thank you Dr Fung for explaining the hormonal reasons behind weight control. Intermittent fasting has been a game changer for me, after years of trying to do the conventional diet advice and not succeeding in anything long term. Also, I like the Elmo head peeking out behind later on in the video :).
Oh, my goodness! FANTASTIC explanation of how and why keeping insulin low by intermittent fasting and low carb consumption prevents lowering metabolic rate/set-point!! THANK YOU (and yes, I am shouting 😂), Dr. Fung!! Looking forward to blasting past the plateau now that I’ve been stuck on for months!! 💃
Sugar and carbs do cause weight gain, i remember when i was over eating junk like candy etc... but also calorie in and calorie out is very important. A few years back i was doing the ketogenic diet 80% fat 15%protein and 5% carbs and i gained weight because i was eating too much. Its very easy to overeat when most of your calories come from fat. Right now i lost more than 50 pounds i am 49 combining fasting short fast and longer fast, cutting out junk but also keeping my calories in check.
same here. I did keto for 2 years but all the while feeling like it wasn't enough protein. I pumped up the protein, cut down on fat and started losing weight again. Calories DO matter. So does intermittent fasting.
That's the ONLY way our bodies loose weight. Exercise helps by altering apetite,the same for types of food one eats. And getting to a healthy weight imroves everything,particulary in combination with exercise,nutrient-rich foods and maybe cold exposure and sauna for extreme immune boosts(relevant now).Good luck.
This makes sense. Consuming too many calories makes you fat. But in order to burn fat you need to have your hormones in check as well as create a caloric deficit, otherwise your body will just lower your metabolism.
Hey Dr Fung, thanks for all your hard work and dedication to educate and save lives! You sound like you’re trying to catch up with your breathe in this video. Hope you’re feeling well. Do take care of yourself and remember to take your breaks. Much love from Singapore 🇸🇬!
@Dr.Fung, thanks for explaining the difference between the calories count and hormonal model. This video blew my mind; did I ever think that eating fewer calories but eating frequently doesn’t help with losing weight?! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining the science. Always looking forward for your wisdom and expertise.
Hmmm,eating less calories does not induce weight loss? I wonder why then my grandpa died emaciated in a concetration camp? No gas,no thyfus/difteria,wonder what...? NMAD diet helped with his diabetis though,that I'm sure,but OMAD might have killed him because of hormonal imbalance,perhaps?
Dr Fung, always looking forward to your Sunday videos... nice to see you every time. The mechanism you've throughly explained is very clear and valuable and most of all absolutely true, through personal experience. Nevertheless, the major issue is..... being able to control hunger and cravings ! 🤔 so to be capable of fasting and reducing carbohydrates, in order to keep insulin low throughout most of the day. We desperately need worthy advice on how to CONTROL - SUPPRESS hunger. That is the major issue and the key to success in weight-loss. My sincere greetings to you from Italy 💖🍀🕊️☀️
No it does not. He has no idea about our bodies "Calorie Intake". It's always constant. Eat below it-loose weight. All of the people claiming otherwise are lying. They all "snack" and try to hide from themselves how much crap they eat,it's normal human behaviour. There wasn't ever any differences discovered between "low fat" and "low carb" diets on how fast one looses weight,or how healthy one becomes. But low carb diets are easier to follow because of their lower insulin peaks that cause high food cravings. There are people on potato diets but in high health,due to their weight loss and the effects of calorie restriction.
This same information changed my life years ago. After listening to his conversation with Metabolic Mike taped Nov 11, 2016 I took his advice and lost 55 pounds, it has not come back, my blood work is perfect. Listen and have a better life.
Yep, since changing to Keto with IF, just melts off me. Of course you still need to eat within a deficit, but I find Keto with IF for me works best and most importantly sustainable
Stop all forms of snacking between meals eat just 2 or 3 times per day/ intermittent eating pattern. Try chromium piconate tablet and B complex or vitamin B1 tablet. This will tremendously help.
@@candyp-r8626 intermittent fasting is the solution. Very effective and healthy. Start slowly as 12 hours, then move to 14, 16,18. I would not go further as I am too slim. Listen to your body and research on youtube to do fasting correctly and the foods for a healthy diet. Works well for many people
If you have type 1 diabetes, you need to be very careful about your diet and fasting! It is not the same as type 2, you should talk to your doctor and see if they can recommend a nutritionist to help you figure out how to get your blood sugar under control.
I truly wish all of the smug people chanting “calories in/calories out-it’s the law of thermodynamics!” Would actually watch this video and *understand* your point.
Love to see Elmo peeking into the video at 13:20 lol. Thanks for the clear and straightforward explanation! It's interesting to consider when we mainly hear the calorie balance approach all the time.
Hi Dr Jason. I am a doctor from India. Seen many of your videos recently. Thanks for making my concepts clearer than ever. I am into Intermittent Fasting since 2017/18. I lost 6-10 kgs of weight. I am now 58 kg with 156 cms height.I was doing one meal a day type fasting .Seeing your videos, I am all the more motivated. Will eating lesser calories during IF ( during that one meal) make my BMR slow down. By the way ,I have once done 60 hours of Fasting. At present also, I am into more than 24 hours. Let's see how much I can still stretch.Hoping for 60 hours again still..
Eathing nothing for prolonged time (more than 3 days) can be very dangerous. Many people who "water fasted" have died from heart-attacks after starting eating again,that is critical moment-reintroduction of food. Eat little,easily digested foods for first few days,do not start gorging on food after the succesfull fast.
Thank you Dr. Fung for your information! Could you share more info on how to balance between fasting and not fall into starvation mode and increase metabolic rate?
I just started water fasting and I appreciate this video as I am aware if insulin is spiked you can’t burn fat…just posted a video of my recent weight loss as well on my channel 💜
I’m giggling at that little photo bomber - Elmo! I love it! Seriously, I watch Dr. Fung daily and have felt so good since beginning Intermittent Fasting in January 2021, losing 25 pounds. I’ve read Gin Stephens’ two books, as well as “The Obesity Code”. Please address Type 1 Diabetes and the fact that the constant insulin from an insulin pump causes weight gain. This is an issue for a loved one of mine.
I eat 20g carbs a day and eat one meal at 5pm and do not eat until 5pm next day. However my glucose levels are taking ages to come down.Thanks Dr Fung for your scientific and proven method
Are you drinking ACV, and, eating foods that actually help in lowering blood sugars? Maybe try more exercise. Eating too much protein? Too many high carb vegetables, and, fruits, you're forgetting to count? What about what you're drinking through out the day? Just keep at it, you'll find the solution. May God be with you, amen.
@@sandragambrel9721 Hi Sandra I eat 20g carbs at one meal that's 20gcarbs for the whole day. Throughout the day drink 2 litres water. In the morning black coffee no sweetner. Bless you to Ameen
HypnoSister: How long have you been doing this? I started doing omad most days of the week in early October. I have lost some weight since then, but I also have noticed that my insulin sensitivity has been improving over time. I know this is purely anecdotal, but if you just started, give yourself some more weeks for your protocols to work.
@@Tes7000 Hi Tess, I have been doing it for a month. Have fasted in the past and got pretty much instant results but was water fasting no food. Thanks Tess 😊
IF has done more than just help me lose fat and stay at my goal weight. It's helped me to ditch dieting altogether. My caloric intake decreases and increases naturally depending on my body's needs for the day. I eat a little more after a day of exertion, less on the day after a less intense day. Clean fasting means I barely notice the tiny hunger bubbles. I eat what I want in my eating window, but now my body tends to crave whole foods. I still have dessert 3-5 times a week. Fasting has freed me from restriction, bingeing, tracking, and food obsession. Everything is simpler and less stressful in this area (and not packing snacks and lunches is a bonus -- cheaper and less to think about). I wish I'd had this knowledge 30 years ago.

If you can get to 36 or 42 hours three times per week (basically, eat every other day) you have a much better chance of losing those stubborn pounds. This is straight from Dr Fung’s books and it’s the protocol for weight loss he recommends in his clinic.
What does 20grams of carbs equate to? Can you give some ideas for me please...say a slice of bread, etc. Many thanks 😊
@@hannahandrainn I stay under carbs a day most of the time. I get all those carbs from non-starchy vegetables only (mostly green vegetables it I add in some onion, garlic, and tomato). I eat no sugar, wheat, quinoa, corn, potatoes, and very little dairy (cheese once or twice a week). Carb counts are on the package labels if you live in the USA.
@@sternits thanks. I'm plant based so it's pretty much cutting out all bread, pasta, etc. Gosh...I'll give it a go soon once I've used the foods up I already have. Thank you for answering :)
@@hannahandrainn Make sure to up your plant protein and fats so you’re satiated. Hopefully you can do eggs and some dairy. There’s a vegetarian keto RUclips channel that has great recipes for plant based low carb foods. I’ll try to find the name of it an post it for you.
If you want to TRULY understand how to lose weight this is your guy. He explains this in a way we can all get.
Since going low carb and IF 16/8 my sweet cravings have virtually all disappeared and trust me I was a sugarholic working from home and living alone so no peer pressure to eat well and snacks and processed food literally got me through my work day and depression once the day ended and I had hours before me alone. I’m a 4’11” woman with sedentary lifestyle so losing weight is always hard as I have to go quite low on calories 1000-1200 and it’s just not sustainable and you reach a plateau very quickly anyway. However since I adapted my eating habits and listened to Dr Fung and the Diet Doctor channel and realised my hormones are literally the brains of how well I do at reaching and maintaining a healthy weight - IT CHANGED EVERYTHING! The low carb nature of my food means I’m generally always satiated and can just get on with life. I don’t know if it’s related but I’m sure I have a clearer more positive mindset now. The greatest joy is also to work around the perimeter of my supermarket only and get my shopping done in half the time. As for snacking - it just looks like toy food and I can’t believe there’s such a huge and growing market for this nonsense ‘food’. The only time I eat high carb and deserts, drink sugary alcohol etc is if I’m out with friends since that’s the only physically and mentally healthy way to consume those foods and there is the benefit of pleasure and enjoyment associated with it - which is the point of life after all! The next day however I’m right back on my 16/8 and healthy foods and it’s never a chore - in fact it brings calm and order into my life to eat like that rather than my previous ravenous and mood driven self when I would actually get major stress trying to decide which take out, desert or sweets to order from my sofa almost every other night. It literally controlled me so I am so glad to be able to have what essentially is freedom from that drug induced state to where I am now. Lighter and happier!!
@@Preeti0930 lol I’m an Indian female too so we might just be! 😁
Excellent explanation, Dr. Fung. The hormonal model, as you stated, is much more comprehensive than the simple CICO model. Thanks for all that you do.
No it's not. It's stupid explanation. Eat below certain caloric level-you loose weight. You don't need this "genius" to understand that.
Thank you Dr. Jason Fung for promoting how unhealthy being fat is. More people need to hear your logical scientific well-stated message that being fat is unhealthy. They don't need to listen to you suggestions for methods for weight loss, they can listen to other people, but they need to understand that being FAT is UNHEALTHY. Your videos or very helpful and informative. They do a wonderful job reminding me how unhealthy is is to be FAT.
Jason Fung - ONE OF TORONTO'S FINEST !!!
Thank you for everything you do! These videos are so valuable!
Congrats to all who have lost or maintained their weight loss following Dr. Fung’s advice. So heartwarming to read. There’s no going back after it. Genuinely life changing.
You changed my life Dr Fung. I’m free from Yoyo dieting thanks to you.
By far the best doctor on RUclips. Lost weight with intermittent fasting and low-carb. If anyone experiences doctors saying to go on a lipid, watch videos about it. Don’t do it.
I love hearing this message again and again so close to Thanksgiving. I will be fasting my normal amount of days. Enjoy Thanksgiving and fast the following week for my normal amount of days. Last year I didn't gain 10lbs over holidays fasting regularly. This year I expected the same.
Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Fung! This year, I’m thankful my friends told me about your book! Good bless!
Thank you so much doctor. I reversed my diabetics and blood pressure. You gave me new healthy life. Good bless you doctor. You are amazing
Thank you Dr Fung for explaining the hormonal reasons behind weight control. Intermittent fasting has been a game changer for me, after years of trying to do the conventional diet advice and not succeeding in anything long term. Also, I like the Elmo head peeking out behind later on in the video :).
Outstanding explanation!
Oh, my goodness! FANTASTIC explanation of how and why keeping insulin low by intermittent fasting and low carb consumption prevents lowering metabolic rate/set-point!! THANK YOU (and yes, I am shouting 😂), Dr. Fung!! Looking forward to blasting past the plateau now that I’ve been stuck on for months!! 💃
Oh my good, not eating cookies actually IMPROVES health,I'm SO exited,he's a GENIUS,oh my god I hope he gets an Emmy like Cuomo.
Thankful for you, Dr. Fung!
Sugar and carbs do cause weight gain, i remember when i was over eating junk like candy etc... but also calorie in and calorie out is very important. A few years back i was doing the ketogenic diet 80% fat 15%protein and 5% carbs and i gained weight because i was eating too much. Its very easy to overeat when most of your calories come from fat.
Right now i lost more than 50 pounds i am 49 combining fasting short fast and longer fast, cutting out junk but also keeping my calories in check.
same here. I did keto for 2 years but all the while feeling like it wasn't enough protein. I pumped up the protein, cut down on fat and started losing weight again. Calories DO matter. So does intermittent fasting.
That's the ONLY way our bodies loose weight. Exercise helps by altering apetite,the same for types of food one eats. And getting to a healthy weight imroves everything,particulary in combination with exercise,nutrient-rich foods and maybe cold exposure and sauna for extreme immune boosts(relevant now).Good luck.
life changing knowledge guru fung..............
This makes sense. Consuming too many calories makes you fat. But in order to burn fat you need to have your hormones in check as well as create a caloric deficit, otherwise your body will just lower your metabolism.
Thanks Doc! UR the only doctor I trust.
Hey Dr Fung, thanks for all your hard work and dedication to educate and save lives! You sound like you’re trying to catch up with your breathe in this video. Hope you’re feeling well. Do take care of yourself and remember to take your breaks. Much love from Singapore 🇸🇬!
@Dr.Fung, thanks for explaining the difference between the calories count and hormonal model. This video blew my mind; did I ever think that eating fewer calories but eating frequently doesn’t help with losing weight?! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining the science. Always looking forward for your wisdom and expertise.
Hmmm,eating less calories does not induce weight loss? I wonder why then my grandpa died emaciated in a concetration camp? No gas,no thyfus/difteria,wonder what...? NMAD diet helped with his diabetis though,that I'm sure,but OMAD might have killed him because of hormonal imbalance,perhaps?
@@ms-jl6dl are you trolling or just that dense?
Hello, Dr Fung. I've taken on board your excellent advice for a while now. I wonder why you're always so breathless......
Dr Fung, always looking forward to your
Sunday videos...
nice to see you every time.
The mechanism you've throughly explained is very clear and valuable and most of all absolutely true,
through personal experience.
Nevertheless,
the major issue is.....
being able to control hunger and cravings ! 🤔
so to be capable of
fasting and reducing carbohydrates,
in order to keep insulin low throughout most of the day.
We desperately need worthy advice on how to CONTROL - SUPPRESS
hunger.
That is the major issue and the key to success in weight-loss.
My sincere greetings to you from Italy 💖🍀🕊️☀️
A very clear explanation about food intake, metabolism and body fat stores, and it makes a lot of logical sense.
It all makes perfect sense. Thank you.
No it does not. He has no idea about our bodies "Calorie Intake". It's always constant. Eat below it-loose weight. All of the people claiming otherwise are lying. They all "snack" and try to hide from themselves how much crap they eat,it's normal human behaviour. There wasn't ever any differences discovered between "low fat" and "low carb" diets on how fast one looses weight,or how healthy one becomes. But low carb diets are easier to follow because of their lower insulin peaks that cause high food cravings. There are people on potato diets but in high health,due to their weight loss and the effects of calorie restriction.
Thank you again for explaining this so well! I will be sharing this many times for sure 😃
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION!!!
Thank you for explaining this process. It has helped me explain to others how IF can help them on their weight loss journey.
This same information changed my life years ago. After listening to his conversation with Metabolic Mike taped Nov 11, 2016 I took his advice and lost 55 pounds, it has not come back, my blood work is perfect. Listen and have a better life.
The diagrams from 8:40 onward sare brilliant and totally changed my understanding. Thanks Dr Fung!
Im so dumb in science but dr jason fung makes it easy for me to understand these concepts 😂😅 thank you sir!
Thank you Dr jason funv. God bless you 🙏
Yep, since changing to Keto with IF, just melts off me. Of course you still need to eat within a deficit, but I find Keto with IF for me works best and most importantly sustainable
A segment on weight control while on prednisone would be helpful.
Great info, thanks.
Yes!! I had to take prednisone and I literally gained 30lbs in 3 months!!!
Don't snack you guys! it's very bad! snacking interrupts fat burning. Just eat your regular meals, and don't eat anything in between meals.
Ok
YES. Snacking is from the devil.
Thank YOU Dr. Fung! LOVE THIS MAN!
Thanks Dr Jason Fung, so much for all your information, your an inspiration to a lot of people.
I am down 30 lb. so easy to follow.
Thank you for this excellent explanation, Dr. Fung!
This is very interesting and important. Thank you for sharing.
He made a difference in life.
Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!
4:25 Gold information
5:15
Always love the way you explain things Dr. Fung. God bless you sir! 🙏🏽✝️
Great vid. Thanks for including the science and providing a simple explanation of the impact of insulin and intermittent fasting.
Losing weight has never been an issue for me. Getting my blood sugar down is.
Oh heck... I have both issues. But I refuse to take any meds.
Stop all forms of snacking between meals eat just 2 or 3 times per day/ intermittent eating pattern. Try chromium piconate tablet and B complex or vitamin B1 tablet. This will tremendously help.
Then you No doubt have Type 1 diabetes? Focus on keeping your carbs low and unprocessed, and of course ditch ANY Sugar.
@@candyp-r8626 intermittent fasting is the solution. Very effective and healthy. Start slowly as 12 hours, then move to 14, 16,18. I would not go further as I am too slim. Listen to your body and research on youtube to do fasting correctly and the foods for a healthy diet. Works well for many people
If you have type 1 diabetes, you need to be very careful about your diet and fasting! It is not the same as type 2, you should talk to your doctor and see if they can recommend a nutritionist to help you figure out how to get your blood sugar under control.
Thanks Jason!!!! For the first time in my life weight starts going down using your techniques!
How about you go hungry here and there,cut out the cookies and enjoy your life- my advice,works well indeed.(for me and many arround me)
Thanks doctor for ur clear explanations they really helped me a lot,I lost 4 kgs in two days
Whaat
Wow 4kg in 2days? Unbelievable
@@shannapalawenya2825 even me I can't believe it
@@girishreddy-fy5vn yes and its true
That's great. That's about 1 gallon of water. Keep it up, and, you'll eventually start burning fat, too.
I truly wish all of the smug people chanting “calories in/calories out-it’s the law of thermodynamics!” Would actually watch this video and *understand* your point.
Love to see Elmo peeking into the video at 13:20 lol. Thanks for the clear and straightforward explanation! It's interesting to consider when we mainly hear the calorie balance approach all the time.
Super clear. Hormone model wins.
Thanks for clarifying this for me. Because I was confused 🤔
Now I understand.
Hi Dr Jason. I am a doctor from India. Seen many of your videos recently. Thanks for making my concepts clearer than ever. I am into Intermittent Fasting since 2017/18. I lost 6-10 kgs of weight. I am now 58 kg with 156 cms height.I was doing one meal a day type fasting .Seeing your videos, I am all the more motivated. Will eating lesser calories during IF ( during that one meal) make my BMR slow down. By the way ,I have once done 60 hours of Fasting. At present also, I am into more than 24 hours. Let's see how much I can still stretch.Hoping for 60 hours again still..
Eathing nothing for prolonged time (more than 3 days) can be very dangerous. Many people who "water fasted" have died from heart-attacks after starting eating again,that is critical moment-reintroduction of food. Eat little,easily digested foods for first few days,do not start gorging on food after the succesfull fast.
Great as usual. Please Dr. Fung, can you do a video about Omad and different omad approaches
Brilliant ❤
Normally I do ADF, so 48 hour fast. This week I’m going to switch-- do a 72 hour fast. Think a switch will be good for my weight loss
Saved my life
Thank you Dr. Fung for your information! Could you share more info on how to balance between fasting and not fall into starvation mode and increase metabolic rate?
Thank you for explaining it so well!
Keep up the good work 👏
Stay strong
life saving advice dr.............
Thank you, Dr. Fung!!
Another Great Video!!!
Very Great !
Excellent video
I just started water fasting and I appreciate this video as I am aware if insulin is spiked you can’t burn fat…just posted a video of my recent weight loss as well on my channel 💜
Your most comprehensive video to date 👏 can you do one based on the insulin index of foods next?
Thank you for this. I understand why I plateau now.
I’m giggling at that little photo bomber - Elmo! I love it! Seriously, I watch Dr. Fung daily and have felt so good since beginning Intermittent Fasting in January 2021, losing 25 pounds. I’ve read Gin Stephens’ two books, as well as “The Obesity Code”. Please address Type 1 Diabetes and the fact that the constant insulin from an insulin pump causes weight gain. This is an issue for a loved one of mine.
I was 277; now 245 (down 32 lbs) 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’ve been doing OMAD and low carb, no processed, high fiber. My inflammation is way down.
I love that Elmo is watching us during this video ❤️
Thank you for another excellent video.
I eat 20g carbs a day and eat one meal at 5pm and do not eat until 5pm next day. However my glucose levels are taking ages to come down.Thanks Dr Fung for your scientific and proven method
Are you drinking ACV, and, eating foods that actually help in lowering blood sugars? Maybe try more exercise. Eating too much protein? Too many high carb vegetables, and, fruits, you're forgetting to count? What about what you're drinking through out the day? Just keep at it, you'll find the solution. May God be with you, amen.
@@sandragambrel9721 Hi Sandra I eat 20g carbs at one meal that's 20gcarbs for the whole day. Throughout the day drink 2 litres water. In the morning black coffee no sweetner. Bless you to Ameen
HypnoSister: How long have you been doing this? I started doing omad most days of the week in early October. I have lost some weight since then, but I also have noticed that my insulin sensitivity has been improving over time. I know this is purely anecdotal, but if you just started, give yourself some more weeks for your protocols to work.
@@Tes7000 Hi Tess, I have been doing it for a month. Have fasted in the past and got pretty much instant results but was water fasting no food. Thanks Tess 😊
IF has done more than just help me lose fat and stay at my goal weight. It's helped me to ditch dieting altogether. My caloric intake decreases and increases naturally depending on my body's needs for the day. I eat a little more after a day of exertion, less on the day after a less intense day. Clean fasting means I barely notice the tiny hunger bubbles. I eat what I want in my eating window, but now my body tends to crave whole foods. I still have dessert 3-5 times a week. Fasting has freed me from restriction, bingeing, tracking, and food obsession. Everything is simpler and less stressful in this area (and not packing snacks and lunches is a bonus -- cheaper and less to think about). I wish I'd had this knowledge 30 years ago.
Thank you,,very well explained
thanks for the one of the brilliant information. By the way I like your Elmo behind you 🥰
