Is a calorie for me the same as a calorie for you? I don't mean that in the literal sense - a calorie is a calorie just as much as a meter is a meter.
What I mean by that question is, if we both ate the same exact cut of steak - would my body absorb the same amount of calories as yours?
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover info atkins diet try Voneyton Uncontrollable Progression (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
@@zelllers your question makes perfect sense to me. Just like no medicine or workout plan will give anyone the exact same results because all of our bodies react different, then how could a calorie be the exact same for every person 😕
🎉³33😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No, as one Chinese Taoist Master said, "You know why they call it fast food? Because it takes you to the grave fast." 😂😆
This is just the start of the lecture series. Subsequent lecture expand the understanding of the cause of obesity and what we can do about it. Check out all six parts of The Aetiology of Obesity
@Saša Šijak after reading your post twice, i am still clueless.
I am currently taking 5mg-10mg glipizide + 2000 mg metfomin per day of glipizide eating OMAD. To help me with my weight loss, should I just disregard glipizide and continue to intake metformin? I just started keto / IF a week ago but I'm worried about high sugars w/o glipizide.
@@Thelocalavenue Eat natural, unprocessed carbohydrates with their fiber, not boxed food in the grocery store that needs to stay on shelf for years. Procesed foods are fattening.
Stay away from factory foods.
@Saša Šijak Jason Fung says carbohydrates are not exactly equivalent to high insulin. For example, "There is clearly something else going on here. While the total carbohydrate intake was very high, the intake of sugar was very low compared to the rest of the world. There seems to be something specific to sugar that may be much more obesogenic than other carbohydrates." - thefastingmethod.com/carbohydrate-insulin-hypothesis-wrong-hormonal-obesity-vi/

My favorite line, "The body is smart. It doesn't want to die." Sounds so obvious. So thankful for Dr. Fung.
It takes a lot of food/substanence consumption to kill it but people are persinstent :D
Thanks!
💯💯💯
Fast food is so called because after you eat it; you wish you had fasted.
Walter Bushell love it! That’s hilarious 😂
Makes you fat, fast 😉
Lmao, actually true for me. 🤣
That is brilliant analogy.
I advise you to read the book, which is also called, but the author is another Christophe Lefebvre. It says how to lose weight, and at the same time you do NOT need to follow any diets and exhaust yourself in the gym.
Whether old or new videos of him, I respect how consistent his teaching is throughout the years. Applaud to him.
Most doctors aren't scientists. you are both. thank you for what you do
I've shared this so many times! Thank you Dr. Fung for teaching me how to lose over 150 lbs. I'm 58, so yes,
post menopausal women can do it too!
I'm loving my new life ❤️.
Thanks again 🙏
Can you share exactly what you have done? Awesome job by the way!!
@@deirdremorris9234 Thanks Deirdre! I started by giving up ALL refined carbs and sugars. And increased my natural fats like nuts, avacados, butter, full fat cheeses, meats, eggs, I use heavy cream in my coffee etc. I started feeling better in a few days! Then after a couple of weeks of becoming "fat adapted" ( when your body learns to use fat for energy), I started skipping breakfast. No problem 👍. Then skipped lunch and went to one meal a day (OMAD). It wasn't a problem because when I wasn't eating, my body was using my own stored fat (body fat) to feed itself for energy. The weight just fell off. Turns out, our body fat is very nutritious and has everything thing we need. It's what our bodies are designed to do. Use up stored food when you don't eat! Perfect! Then I was feeling so good that I upped it to eating once a day for four days, then skipped the fifth day entirely (a 48hr fast). I felt great! No problem. It's been the easiest weight loss for me ever. I get how it works now and it's amazing. So now I'm still eating OMAD. When I eat, I eat well. I usually start with a handful of healthy nuts, then a mug of my homemade soup or a salad with homemade dressing, then meat with steamed veggies with butter, a square of good cheese, maybe a bit of kimchi or sour kraut etc. and I eat until I'm full, not stuffed.
Last year I did my first and only so far, three day fast b for Easter and broke my fast with our Easter meal. I'm going to do it again this year and every year from now on. Fasting is so good for us!
Please read Dr. Fung's book The Obesity Code. It changed my life and he explains everything so well. I remember thinking "No wonder!". Also watch his interviews and lectures on RUclips. It's a wealth of information. Thanks again and be well! 🙏😊
Wow!! Congratulations and great job! 🙌🏾
I’m in the same boat that’s awesome . Please share
@@josephinecioffi33 Hi! Please read his book The Obesity Code. It explains so much as to why all the other diets I tried throughout my life failed. It just makes so much sense. I remember thinking "No wonder!!"
He also has lectures and interviews on RUclips if you search his name and The Obesity Code.
I was recently asked to share my story on The Magic of Fasting RUclips channel. Check it out?!😃👍
If I can do this, so can you! I was addicted to sugar and junk food. Now I never crave or want them at all. They are so terrible for us. I pray you will find total wellness too! Thanks and be well 🙏😊
I expect to post parts 2 and 3 by mid May. Also please check out my other video "Insulin Cardiotoxicity and How to cure Diabetes" that I just posted a week ago.
Thank you Dr. Fung for this amazing information. I am a pulmonary critical care doc in California. I have been giving your name to all my patients so that they can also benefit from your talks.I have started fasting regularly and skip breakfast almost daily and encourage my patients to do the same. In all my years of learning and practicing medicine your lectures have been the most illuminating on the subject of diabetes and wt loss and are devoid of any biases.Thank you very much and look forward to learning more from you.
That's cool Akash. Are you still on the n=1 journey?
I hope the doctors here in Australia are willing to change and learn from Dr Fung he a game changer in the medical field of diabetes and he learned from his patients that it wasn't working and you keep hitting the brick wall.
He was willing to learn why is wasn't working & turning 180 degrees and change began.
Enclosing you were inspired by this Dr and his simple approach across the board from Doctors to patients.
Jj who told you missing breakfast was bad?
@@mudieg at the time of the rise of the breakfast cereals
@@Jj-gi2uv you seem to be talking about trans fat. I'm not sure what that has to do with breakfast. Sugared cereal is an issue.
I've watched the whole series several times, plus most of his other videos on RUclips. Dr. Fung is my all-time hero. No one explains things better!
Low carb is a fraud
Watermelon Man like you even know which end is up.
@@Kobayashhi I bet you're a vegan.
He has an amazing voice as well!
Watermelon Man why do you say that?
Dr. Fung is by far the best presenter in explaining the obesity. He is well-versed in his facts of each slides. Thank you very much, Dr Fung!
Thank you Jason Fung...you are one amazing man! My blood sugars are down from 78 to 7.7 in 3 months! I have also stopped my Statin. Im feeling so much better. Ps. Ive also lost 46lb! I can now walk better than I have in 5 years! From the bottom of my heart, thank you :) x
Thats incredible!Good work!!
Fantastic
Down to 7.7? Umm r. I. P.
@@Olivedoggy Idiot! It's down to 5 now so go crawl back under ur bridge you weirdo!
Youre amazing. Wow
Absolute genius. My whole family is hooked on Jason Fung's lectures. His research is remarkable. Thank you Dr. Fung.
A V milf?
Your lucky, my family thinks I’m crazy. Hard to change their minds even though I’m the only one capable of losing weight 30+lbs of weight in like 2 months.
I still watch this regularly even though I’ve seen it many times. This is the foundation of knowledge you need if you want to lose weight and take control. Thanks Dr Fung you are a life saver and may God bless you for your work. I know you at some point were bribed to not give this information.
My nan was born in 1915 & I was born in 1974. I was a fat child, so my nan would always say "stop eating bread, potatoes & don't eat that pasta stuff" Bearing in mind she was British & pasta was a food not commonly eaten between 1915-1970s Britain. Of course I I didn't take her advice. I carried on eating the bread & pasta but I just omitted the butter & fat. Now I'm eating the butter & fat & not eating the bread, potatoes & pasta. I'm finally losing weight
He is telling the truth. When I was growing up it was all about low fat and nothing related to calories or sugar. I was perplexed when I was told all the soda I drank was causing weight issues. When I stopped I immediately dropped 20 pounds.
I can only relate to my own experience in dieting. Most often you lose the weight and than when you have reached your goal, you begin to reward your self with the foods you missed while dieting. Soon after you fall out of those good habits that led to the weight loss and fall back into your old practices. That's the reality. The key is to stick with what led to the weight loss, period. Whether that's keto, intermittent fasting or both. I'm not a scientist and I don't dispute what Dr. Fung is saying. I'm just making an observation about human nature.
Thats not reality...it was your reality. Fix yourself. You ALREADY know the WHY!!
I can listen and watch Dr Fung for eternity..
Sir, you are an enlightenment to the world.
In my Book, you won the Nobel Prize.
Humanity will remember you as one of the best Masters and teachers
Thank you.
I soooo agree!
I have since January lost a little more than 60lbs and totally changed my heath direction. I am forever thankful
It is good to see that this message is finally getting to diabetics, and their doctors, and not just weight loss gurus.
In 2013 I had completely beaten my Type II diabetes with a ketogenic diet. I was off meds for 2.5 years and then slid backwards. I am going to go back and start again. I cannot afford to be ill and I want to live a full and healthy life.
Roberta L. Jones when you are off med, do u keep sugar and carbs out of your diet or do u eat normal?
Dfgdawtatmstmstmsymwwww is the time of our lord Jesus Christ amen amen lord amen amen
Can’t believe there’s people would dislike this video!😡 I just love listening to Dr. Jason Fung!
Mai Nguyen I bet the people disliking these videos that Dr. Fung is making are in the industries that will lose money if we listen and put into practice the lessons that Dr. Fung is giving us.
Might be some one can make money from patients.
Im in the stage of my life now that im struggling to lose weight.. im 40 with hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver and pcos. Thank u that i found your chanel.. new subbie here..
I'm sick of the nonsense that people keep trying to get me to believe. I'm firing my nutritionist and personal trainer!
@pleiades *YOU DON"T NEED THEM. YOU ONLY NEED YOUR COMMON SENSE*
m18 r18 no it's not common sense you need, it's knowledge.
As long as you keep track of your vitamins and minerals, and as long as you get tested for any common genetic complications (Hashimoto's, Kushing's, etc..), yeah, there's enough GOOD information today to make most nutritionists superfluous.
You should have a trainer for TRAINING techniques. In free weight training, you can seriously, permanently hurt yourself with bad technique, so just be careful on that end.
Best of luck!
Dr Fung is the master of analogy a gifted story teller and makes the science understandable and interesting. His videos are a wonderful resource for learning and making life the best it can be. We have control people we really do WE are the captain...thank you Dr Fung.
One down, five to go. I now subscribe to your site. My personal history is a complete validation of this approach to obesity management. I've lost 155 pounds (from 300 to 145) using intermittent fasting and a high-fat regimen. I've maintained my normal weight for several years. I do workout six-days-a-week doing weight-resistance but I also did that amount of exercise when I was morbidly obese. I exercise because I enjoy it.You should see the looks I get when people see me buying pork belly. Uncured bacon that has gone to heaven.
I was thinking the same thing. They can track whales and sharks, why not clouded leopards.
Marly
Which form of intermittent fasting did / do you use? I’m mean x hours per day or not eating at all on certain days? Thx
How do you maintain your normal weight? By maintaining a high fat diet?is there a prescribed timeline when we stop high fat diet? Is this now the standard diet where we should follow ?
EL there a few different protocols for maintaining weight. Many people do keep a high fat low carb diet because of other benefits. Other people propose eat "normal" but keep intermittent fasting, either 8/16 or one or two days per week.
@@el3196 Your brain is fat. Reduce too much fat you get Alhiemers and fat is needed for hormone development.
THIS SHOULD HAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF VIEWS!!!!!!!!!
so crazy....
Dr. Fung you are a treasure! Thank you for your work...you, rebel, you.
Congratulations on taking a complicated and misunderstood subject and presenting it in an understandable way to the masses.
You are making a difference in many people's lives; myself included. Bonus points for making this available cost-free. Thank you.
i am 17 years old, I weigh around 195 pounds. my dad is making me watch the series
He loves you!
Yes. He loves you and wants you to get things under control now. It’s so much more difficult the older you get. Ugh. I hate saying that, but it’s so true. If I could only go back...
Lucky to hear about this at 17.
20lbs in 2 weeks because of your intelligence and help. thank you Sir.
29:01 describes exactly my struggle with weight loss. I started my weight loss journey when i was 59 kilograms in 2013 because I gained a lot of weight when I started my desk job. After few months of dieting and exercise I came back to 52 kg but only to gain 10 kg in next 6 months . Hence my frustrating journey begins... I reduced my calories even more and lost few kg again only to be beaten by my body. I gained all the lost weight back plus a few kgs . This cycle happened for at least 8-9 times since 2013 and now I weigh 76 kg.. almost 16 kg heavier than my starting weight. I was recently been told by my doctor that I am prediabetic and have high insulin levels in fasted state. I tried everything and I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. Thanks to Dr Jason Fung, now I understand the basic physiology and I hope I can break free from this vicious weight loss cycle
Zooryas have you had any success yet?
I'm the same, it's partly a mind game, not just a #s game
@@mharrison1325 Dear Mike I started trying intermittent fasting since August 2020 and I did too much too soon. I started with 18:6 in the beginning without properly acclimatising my body to the routine. I couldn’t keep up with that, the new sensations my body was going through. Although after a month I had to quit fasting as I was going through a medical treatment. I picked up IF again in 2021 but this time I started with 12 hours fast and then progressed to 16 and now I am at 18 hours fast. I have lost only 4 kilograms since then but I am patient. I feel so much better that I don’t have much cravings now and feel less bloated. Now I do not think about food all the time and surprisingly I have better energy levels. I feel I have finally found something that I can actually stick with and I hope weight loss and better health will follow if i continue.
How have you been doing lately? I see that you answered someone 5 months ago. I can tell you what works well for me. I try to do 16 hours, 18 hours fasting each day. When I'm hungry I have a fairly big meal but it's a healthy one.
I have half of an avocado sliced up cut into cubes with lemon juice and salt. I have two eggs, cooked in butter and I saute some vegetables in butter. Usually 3 to 4 oz of cherry tomatoes and some spinach but really anything that you like. I add about an ounce of cheese to the omelet or to the scrambled eggs, I serve them with the buttery delicious tomatoes and spinach. Picture a plate with an omelet and tomatoes and spinach on top of it with a little bit of grated Parmesan on top. The half avocado in a small bowl with lemon and salt and I bake almond flour and seed crackers. They scratch the itch for bread, with almost no carbs. This meal comes to about 800 calories and 2/3 of those calories come from fat. It's about 7/8 of an ounce of butter, an ounce of cheese, two eggs, 4 oz of tomatoes and an ounce of spinach. I have two or three tablespoons of heavy cream in my coffee and with the coffee it comes to just about a thousand calories.
That's my big meal. I don't feel like eating for hours after that. If I really want something sweet I have some Godiva dark chocolate, the mini bars. They are smooth and creamy and they don't taste like they're dark chocolate, they're not bitter. They satisfy the need or desire for something sweet with my coffee. I don't have them everyday, but I do sometimes.
When I'm cooking for others and I need to make a dessert I'll make a dark chocolate mousse or creme brulee since they have minimal sugar and lots of fat. Of course they are calorically dense so I don't have it often but when I do I don't feel guilty about it and I enjoy it.
When I have a second meal it's usually smaller. 3 or 4 oz of wild caught salmon and some green beans that I roast in the oven with balsamic vinegar and olive oil until they're just about to be crisp. They taste really good that way. Or brussel sprouts done the same way, olive oil and balsamic vinegar or olive oil and salt with a scant tablespoon of maple syrup on the whole amount of it at the end so you get about a quarter tablespoon of maple syrup per serving. Or 3 oz of steak, or if I didn't have eggs that day, I'll have eggs. It's important to get pasture raised eggs, not conventional eggs. The pasture raised eggs have more omega-3, more vitamin A and vitamin D. And they are cruelty free which is also important.
I am just about to go under 200 lb for the first time in, 20 years? 25 years? And I feel better than I have in a very long time. I don't feel like I'm starving or hungry or like I'm deprived.
Please update on your progress, I hope you have been doing well and are feeling better.
@@zooryas That's really affirms my decision to start a 12 hour fast for a month, then move to 16/8. I've been on steroids since 14 for severe asthma (now an old fart), so my hormones are all messed up. I've lost 12 ILBs in 2 weeks, but part of that is water. I know it will level as it progresses, a marathon not a sprint as they say.
I told my dad about you, he has insulin resistance he doesnt wanna listen to me but i will try to convince him and treat him. Thank you Dr Fung
Bless you, Dr. Fung. I've been a type 2 diabetic for over 25 years (I'm 72) and I just read both your books on Obesity and Diabetes and started fasting 16 to 18 hours a day every day, and increased my intake of healthy fats and eliminated all processed foods.
In two weeks my pre- and post-prandial blood sugar readings have dropped 20 to 30 points at very reading!
I have recently become very familiar with Dr Fung's work and I'm just reading his book 'The Obesity Code'. He is one of our contemporary geniuses and I highly recommend that all health practitioners become familiar with this life saving information. Thank you Dr Fung!
Absolutely superb. By far the best researcher and presenter on the subject (and I've seen most). Thank you Dr. Fung.
I've never been this influenced by any diet / weight loss video thanks doc
You're brilliant . . .I wish all doctors were like you.
LOL... the government 1st told Americans to avoid fat in 1977.
People were THIN in the 70's. Look at old pictures and movies.
That all changed by the close of the 80's as people avoided fat.
Hubert Humphrey is primarily responsible for the idea that it is healthier to eat carbs (grains) instead of fat. Oh, Hubert Humphrey was a South Dakota native and Senator from Minnesota -- where they grow lots of wheat and corn.
Pictures and movies? So do you see fat people in the movies today? Same is with pictures, people always had standards, doesnt mean everybody was fitting them, it just means that whoever fit the standard got to be popular. In any case, as someone who was born in the 80s and in a communist country, I can tell you we had 0 fast food restaurants back then, a bottle of Coca Cola was how people celebrated Christmas if they were lucky to find one that year. Even earlier on, the population of Europe at least was recovering after world wars. Today, all guilty pleasures are at arm's length and when you buy a box of chocolates you don't look at the money anymore, as they are ridiculously cheap, but at the price you pay by the weight you gain.
I'm 61 years old and my first hand knowledge is everyone is a lot heavier than I was when I was young, especially the last 15 years. It's too much starch, liquid oil, salt, sugar and various combinations such as protein/sugar that creates hunger in store bought foods. Almost all salad dressings have sugar. It's unreal.
So true.
Thank you Dr.Fung, you are helping so many people. ❤️
Dr Jason Fung,, brilliant man. How proud your parents must be of you and your achievements. You are saving lives far more than mainstream doctors. I repeat your parents must be very proud of their enormously clever and courageous son.
Every single word, every single line, is GOLD.
What a blessing to finally have a doctor who empathises with the cruelty of 'Eat Less, Move More'.
Thank you Dr. Fung. You made me understand that I NEVER had a motivation problem, and that through LCHF and IF, I have the power to take corrective steps towards reducing my obesity, which in essence is a hormonal problem.
You truly live up to the Hippocrates Oath!
Thank you so much Dr Fung for finally helping me navigate and understand all the confusing diet myths and tips etc out there. Now it all makes perfect sense and I won’t feel like I’m just following another diet craze when I cut out those foods that really make our hormones go crazy. Brilliant thank you!!!!
Jason Fung. You’re a hero. Wish my Mom and Aunt could have listened to you years ago and saved themselves from the wreckage of diabetes. Mom died in July from dementia, loneliness induced by Covid and the actual virus itself, and my aunt is living miserably in skilled nursing with diabetes and non-healing ulcers and pain in her hands. So sad that our iconic institutions are corrupted by greed and the info that improves and saves peoples’ lives is at best not promoted and at worst suppressed simply because the solutions aren’t attached to a fat income stream.
Whats funny is, that I lived on all sorts of diäts my whole life and got bigger and bigger each time. Three Years ago I was so sick of all of this, that I started to ear everything I was told is bad. Cream, butter, avocado, nuts and so on. I stopped eatin processed foot about 10 years ago mostly because of all this aritificial stuff, and eat almost no sugar - so there isn't much to cut back. But with eating full fat food, my weightgain stopped.
I think I will give that low carb a go because I have a very slight insuline restistance and I don't want it to get worse.
Morticia147 try dr furhman, eat to live.
How's it going a year later?
Good luck. Just stick to dr. Fung. There is so much info out there. Different drs saying different things. Some agree with Fung. Some just confuse you. Dr. Fung started all this. Stick with the Master. Don’t get confused or misled.
Dr. Fung. Thanks for putting these vids out there. You rock!
thanks for making and sharing the whole series, and other videos... keep it coming!
In the UK we had a heatwave last year and the BBC showed pictures of Brighton beach and compared it with the last time we had a heatwave - 1976 - the big difference? We were all skinny and over the past 40 years we have got big - far too big, thanks to the change in our diet and stripping out the fats that kept us thin and replacing it with sugar and carbs.
It is so good to understand how this all works at last!! Thank you for your outstanding contribution to my education, Sir! 86 lbs down in 21 months thanks to Obesity Code, Complete Guide to Fasting, and a keto way of eating.
Proud to be 1 of the first million subscribers. This channel will be huge very soon.
I thought your vids would be more popular. Such captivating presenting style and invaluable information! Thanks a million! ❤
It's odd how many people are bothered by a doctor who is speaking at a hospital wearing a stethoscope. Just... wow.
He's wearing a stethoscope instead of a tie, just like many other MDs do.
It is for the people that don't know him, a suttle que.
These people would have a problem with a teacher holding a textbook (one word: assholes)
Robert Nelson lol yeah it is a prop. Just like all those interviews with doctors.
IT’S A FASHION STATEMENT !! HA HA !!!
Very well explained, and as others have noticed an excellent presenter.
I am a big fan of Dr.Fung. you can't get more plain & simply explanation than what he gives in his seminars.
What a wonderful study, you are an excellent scientist . you are a champion to care for public health and an enemy to food an drug companies. Capitalism will not like people like you, but we, the inform liberated people love you.
I have struggled with obesity and an extremely unhealthy relationship with food...recently a relative reported he lost over 40 pounds with intermittent fasting, a ketogenic diet, and exercise...he was really excited, said he feels great and the weight is literally falling off...I lost over 100 pounds in 2013 in a pretty unhealthy way, so over the last few years I have sat depressed on the couch as the weight just came and came. I hadn't changed any habits and of course I exercised horribly infrequently if at all. I sank deeper into a completely dark depression. I knew I was not disciplined enough to ever successfully take the weight off. I couldn't look in the mirror or let any pics of me as I just couldnt face the reality I had created for myself. So of course when my cousin spoke so highly of this IF diet, I had to check it out. Long story short, the first video that came up in RUclips was Dr. Fung's...after the first video I was convinced this deserved some looking into, after 10 of them I was pretty obsessed and extremely fired up. I haven't watched all of his videos but they are what intrigued me to really look into this completely different type of lifestyle than I had ever known, I was positive that this was finally a program I could be successful in. I could ffinally change my life. No looking back since, I fast for 36 hrs then allow myself 1500 calories over the next 12 hours and so on. I know it seems aggressive but I have 100 pounds to lose. So far i feel better everyday, physically and emotionally. I am finding that some days I am not hungry enough to even eat my allotted portions. TONS of water is super important and you either need to add some sea or Himalayan pink salt to your water or but an electrolyte supplement to replace your sodium, potassium, and magnesium. This along with plenty of water should decrease your chance of getting the "flu" during the first couple of weeks as your body adjusts. I am so stoked, I tell everyone I meet. It isnt for everybody but if it can get me to happily give up my beloved IPA and the thought of fast food makes me wonky. This is not just a diet, it is a complete change of your lifestyle. I have 80 pounds to go but I feel so good I dont really care. If you stick to the "rules" you will see what I mean. Best of luck on your endeavours
Look up Partake IPA or other non alcoholic craft beer! I quit drinking years ago but miss my beer. Thankfully craft NA beer came along, 10 calories and no hangover or beer gut!
how are you doing now?
Amazing content. Thank you!
This is mind blowing that the mainstream Healthcare is blind to it, in the Era of the internet
Brilliant series, explains everything that has been such a mystery to me on why I could never take off the pounds and keep them off. Not any more! Thank Dr. Jung! You have changed my life for the better.
@pleiades Freudian slip?😊
So this is the video version of the Obesity Code book that I just bought and powered through 2/3rds of in a day...great.
Lol, good to know.
Maker Mark, my thoughts exactly!!
Never mind, I don't begrudge the proceeds from the book going to him, he deserves that for his hard work plus it is a small price to pay to become educated 🙂
i read the book and i follow up with the video or vice versa, nothing like a book to refer to and i tend to always find more info in the book, so money not wasted ..Love a good read!
I'm still buying the book.
Great video. Perfect explanation of what we do, why we do it and the consequences of it all. Thank you!
Thanks Dr.Fung. You bring so much light in the 'Plato's nutrition cave' in which too many people develop false theories by interpreting the shadows
Love me some Dr. FUNG. You're totally Awesome!
You are amazing, I'm learning so much from you and feeling better than ever. Thank you so much!
I'm on day 10 of 17:7, no hunger pangs this AM/high energy/clearer mind than I've had in years, I think I'm doing it right. Want to understand this better and share it to help people win this battle with junk food, weight, mental fog. Watching this awesome lecture for the second time in 3 days to try and catch it all, here are my notes and takeaways, help me refine this to understand better if I'm off. Diets of the past haven't worked. Tests have been done showing calorie in/out and deficits are a real thing but aren't the key to understanding obesity/weight, exercise isn't the best weight loss tool although it's important for general health. Coal factory and manager was a solid illustration, I like that. Firehose is on full when we get to the insulin and cortisol section and I think this is the most important piece. Insulin/cortisol problems cause obesity and even extreme weight loss. Body is a t-stat, set point is important. Keto diets are real (can I just clean up my diet, get rid of 90% of the sugary junk food and still experience significant health and weight management benefits?) Looking forward to the test of this series and will be buying the book.
I just found this lecture....changing my life, already down 6 inches off my waist.
That guy is a hero.
Thank you Dr. Fung so much for sharing you research and knowledge. I appreciate it.
An amazing and informative lecture. Dr Yung is brilliant. This truly gives me new hope!
You really help me truly understand what is really going on with everything! This is an incredible lecture and l can truly understand all the studies you mention. I really actually like listening to all the studies and l never like to listen to studies but the way you present them Dr. Fung. Thank you
I am reading your book right now. Incredible info! Very informative and myth-dispelling.
Wow ... I've been watching many videos from Lustig et al., which have essentially said the same thing, but your video sums it up the best!
I always enjoy your presentations packed with studies, data, and hypotheses, analyses. Discovered you as I was looking for an answer for a friend, with diabetesT2 for years, & on 15 drugs. I bought him things that I thought would help and definitely needed (like a glucose meter, jabbers, and strips, in case he did what I suggested...time restricted eating, or intermittent fasting). I did what I suggested he do, even though I'm not DT2. I lost 25 lbs in about 2 months EASY! I pretty much do IF approx 12-16 every day. And I'm about the same. I don't have cravings, I don't self-prohibit anything, but I focus on nearly complete vegan diet, and when others offer things I normally don't eat, I eat those things, thankful for their graciousness and generosity. Then I go back to eating what I choose. There are many ways to fast, and so many more reasons to do it. So just decide to give it a go. Any day you try is a good day. Fail? Only when you don't try it again. Thanks Dr Fung, for initially asking the important questions for yourself to REALLY HELP your patients...and the world, including me. I'm indebted, and trying to pass it on. Just do it people; everything to gain (but weight, haha).
Steve , yes it is slightly more complicated - hence keep away from insulin spiking foods that cause fat storage e.g simple quick absorbed carbs which keep you hungry
Dr. Jason has been fasting..... see how big his shirt is? Good work young man. God bless you and your listeners.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you, Dr. Fung.
Thank you, Dr. Fung!💚

7:00 - Anyone familiar with the USDA's Food Pyramid should search on "USDA food pyramd food industry" to read how the USDA recommendations were influenced by the food industry.
