Can absolutely confirm upping protein and fiber (plant powder shakes with superfoods) were the missing ingredient in my journey of mostly only working out... kinda maybe (not really) cutting calories. The protein and fiber WERE deficient and the system seems to be back on track with better workouts, sleep, reduced cravings, and seeing results in the mirror. Carb cravings basically gone with consistent protein and fiber shakes. Junk and snack cravings, gone. Strangely so, didn't expect that to work so well. Insulin grogginess, cleared significantly. Still eating meats and mostly dinner as the biggest meal but I'm not as hungry and feel genuinely more satisfied from less and I've been a heavy processed carbs snacker for awhile. Zero Ozempic. If you're on the fence, perhaps focus the money on a bullet blender, quality plant protein and fiber shake powders, frozen broccoli (5g fiber/protein a cup) and dark cherries (reduce inflammation, sleep improvement) - some taste fantastic too. I can respect there might be extreme cases for Ozempic but natural options are indeed worth exploring too if feasible.
@Astral_Dusk Thanks totally agree with you I don't like to hear about that evil ozempic drug again it destroyed my health organs so bad ended up in hospital for 2 years in and out of the hospital without results just worse everytime, until I stopped the ozempic, the side effects lasted a whole year and something as l fight it. And when l started what you have mentioned this year I am starting to lose weight naturally.
I was on Ozempic for 2 years never could get off the initial dose due to nausea. I have been doing intermittent fasting and gave up sugar, flour and processed foods for past 6 weeks and feel so much better!! Increasing dietary fats has made me feel more satisfied and the cravings are gone! Thank you Dr Fung for all your wisdom
@@patrickrobinson3634hows it going now? I'd love to hear more about your experience with Ozempic. I hear news articles etc. but thats far different from first hand experience
Dr. Fung, you have changed and simplified my life. I have just started intermittent fasting about 5 weeks ago, have watched most of your videos and actually found out that this is exactly how my body wants to eat. I had about 25 pounds that I would like to drop and I am actually down 10 already. I am looking forward to seeing where my weight settles, but I see this as a permanent lifestyle change for me, and I don't have an actual weight goal. If I meet friends for lunch and eat more than usual, I just make that my one meal for the day. I love not having to worry about calories, carbs or counting anything. The 18:6 window works perfectly for me and I am very rigid about that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
@@mountaingirl1797 Started on April 15, down 11 pounds as of today. It's not fast, but the plan is that it will be permanent. I am thinking that another 9 pounds would probably look right, but we will see.
Thank you Dr Fung. You are a great help to me. I've been carrying excess fat for many years but I'm reducing wonderfully now that I am 51. I feel great. You are a Godsend.

You should teach family physicians how to manage their prediabetic and diabetic patients. Found you by chance and NEVER heard a pip squeak from the GP about your technique. You are a life saver.
I agree. That 18/6 window works for me as well. I’ve kept the weight off for over a year. I’m now off of meds can you believe? Doctor was supportive of what I’m doing he just said not many can do it. But I didn’t want my parents and family issues and I can’t do the calorie thing. This works and I’ve met people in their 80s who have been doing this their whole life but they didn’t know what they were doing. And of course they are incredibly fit. I do 5-7 miles at 6 pm 6 hours after my last meal. I never gain a pound now. And I look incredible. No more diets. This has been life changing. I know it’s a cliche but it’s true.
I wasn’t clear was I. So what works for me is eat by 6am then stop by noon. Then workout hard around 6pm and don’t eat again until 6 am the next day. I have to leave the house and either walk or gym around 6 when the rest of the world is eating dinner including my family. My doc said that most couldn’t keep that up but it works for me. He is shocked by the progress. A lot of muscle mass and far less fat. But those 6 hours are only high quality food so I get fiber and nutrition. This is what works for me. I could switch to another time but when I do I don’t sleep as well. I hope this clears it up.
I switched from Keto to Carnevore, because the little bit of sugar allowed on keto was still enough to trigger my sugar addiction. I didn’t even mean to lose weight on carnivore, but I lost almost 10 pounds from 145 to 135 in two months.😊😊😊
@@asinh1100 fresh beef or better yet, calf liver is full of Vitamin C, just don't overcook it. Salmon bones like you find in canned salmon are chewable and full of calcium. Meats contain potassium.
Same for me, went carnivore, lost weight, no sugar cravings anymore, improved my Hashimoto and thyroid function (could already lower my thyroid med dose)
How exciting! 🎉I can’t wait to try these things! I’m coming up on a 40 hour fast right now and have lost 138 lbs so far! My scale finally say overweight rather than obese 🎉 I’m a little concerned about gastroparesis with the slowing of stomach emptying so I will lean into the other tips 🙏

Dr. Fung, thank for the information you so freely gives to us. I’ve purchased all of your books which has blessed my health journey and I’m doing great! Thank you again! 🙏🏾❤️
Dr. Fung, I've been watching your videos for years. They are very informative and I always enjoy them. I really miss seeing the success stories at the end of your presentations. I wish you could bring those back again. Cheers!
Such sensible suggestions. Thank you. I'm already on a low carb diet, but this info will help me refine it even more. Mind you, people think I'm "weird" to refuse cookies, cakes, and so on a a social event. But then they have all the diseases associated with metabolic syndrome.
Just finished your book and holy cow I will never look at food the same way again. I feel like Neo the moment he finally sees the Matrix. I completed a 72 hours fast on Wed and I just completed a 24 hour fast today. I've lost 9lbs this week and I haven't felt this good in so long. Thank you Dr. Fung!
This explains alot. I meal prepped for a week turmeric cabbage, sweet potatoes, and homemade chili. I felt good that week and lost 6 pounds (half of it being water). And this is basically the same vibe as week 1 of my Mounjaro shot. I guess I will have to keep on including turmeric cabbage with every meal. Cabbage is so cheap and this going to be easier on my pocketbook than increasing my dosages of Mounjaro. I'll update in 6 months.
Hi Dr Jung. U were the first person to teach me about conquering pre diabetes . I lost 22 kg in over 2 years. Iv gained some back like 5 kg because i stopped exercising. But im back on fasting. Im gonna be lean and trim again. High fat high protein Sungazing is the key
I have a friend who thinks that going to the gym intermittently is going to help them lose weight while on the other hand they frequently drink copious amounts of alcohol. They refused to see the correlation. I think it's pretty obvious why they refused to see the correlation.
I lost I 180 lbs while going to the gym and drinking copious amounts of alcohol. But I wasn’t going intermittently, I was going 5+ days a week. No, alcohol, great sleep and no sugar is by far the best way to go though.
Thank you for these videos! As an Asian American, it is hard to eat a fully Western Diet to lose weight, but this information is so helpful and easily digestible! It reframes and redirects what initially understood about calories in and calories out!
Thank you so much for this simplified explanation, Dr. Fung! It is very helpful. I will look for ways to incorporate more of this into my daily life/diet.
I just went head on full Carnivore last Aug. lost 25lbs. I feel better now than when I did in my 50’s. I just turned 65! All this way of eating bitters and such sounds good for people who eat carbs. I eat meat and don’t worry about all this. 🤷♀️- I eat - The Proper Human Diet. PHD. 👍
Thank you for this information. I found it very interesting. Good knowledge to have on board. You also explained the glp-1 and GIP mechanisms better than anyone I have listened to before. New subscriber!
I've been trying to eat dandelion, which is commonly eaten in the EU and especially Italy. If you par-boil it much of the bitter taste goes away. Dandelion tastes very much the same as many other green veg, and because I have an organic garden and lawn, there's always a plentiful supply.
Thank you for this, Dr. Fung! I was so ready to go on Ozempic Cumbersome Paperwork of my Health Insurance stopped me! The Carnivore diet works great for satiety too. Will season my meat with cucurmin/tumeric from now on!
As always, really interesting. I have been using some of these foods for years but didn't know why my body asked for them. Now I know. So, thanks from the Wet Coast.
Thank you Dr Fung! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the connection between GLP-1 and its effects on insulin resistance. I will be following your tips 👍
With the help of The Obesity Code I lost 20kg. Then I returned to normal, but not excessive eating and over 2 years it all came back. Starting again but it needs to be a lifetime choice now
Great,channel Dr. Jung. There is so much disinformation on RUclips. Really enjoying listening to you ☺️. I am having a harder time keeping my normal weight as I get older. I am not diabetic and don’t ever want to be. I don’t want to go on some goofy guru diet…just common sense. I have always eaten in a very health conscious way, just need a little tweeking I think. So,thank you for all you do here.

I wonder what is the optimal amount of fat grams to add to a meal to optimize for the GLP-1 increase without overcompensating with the increased cals from the fat? (study around 4:40 timestamp)
I started the fatty liver diet, and intermittent fasting, I've worked up to a couple of water fasts. I've lost 50 lbs, sadly I need to lose at least another 50 lbs to get to just overweight, but the weight is still coming off, so hurray! My problems are, that a lot of the symptoms of fatty liver, have gone, or improved dramatically, which is great,but most of my symptoms that point to some form of auto immune/thyroid problems have stayed the same, even worsening. I started taking suppliments, when I started dieting,iron selenium, magnesium, zinc, etc, but they do not seem to have affected my " thyroid" problems. The basic Thyroid test now comes back as normal. Can anyone relate to this?
Thank you so much for your video and information. Your videos always encourages me to maintain my health and leads me to the truth. Really appreciated for your efforts❤❤❤
Hi Dr Fung! I know this to be true because it helped easily me lose over 100+ lbs when paired with daily 16:8 IF and once a month 3-5 day EFs. Wasn't ever hungry. Energy and labs were better. I went off for a while and gained 50 lbs. back. I have since returned to my protocol but after 3 months, I'm not having any results at all. On top of that I seem to be hungrier than before with the same foods. I'm now taking berberine supplements and iodine to help with my thyroid. I also exercising for hours most days. Still, I don't know what has changed to receive no results. If you have any insight into this I would be greatly appreciative Thank you!💕
Blue butterfly. That is amazing you lost 100 lbs at some point. I lost 35 and gained 45 back 😅. Now I started again with a smaller eating window and cutting the coffee out of my life. Some say coffee raises cortisol. I hope you find your footing again
Thank you Dr. Fung! What are your thoughts about Allulose sweetener? Are you familiar with Dr. Perlmutter, Dr. Johnson /Lustig studies that are also showing the benefit of it having GLP1 effect. Thanks for all you do 😊🙏
@@teddibear1850 Wow, interesting! Maybe Dr Fung will do a video about it vs. Monk fruit and stevia, what they do etc. Or just do without? Just wondering if there could be any safe sweeteners?

Dear Doctor, Could you please make a video discussing fasting and gallstones? My ultrasound showed gallstones, and I am concerned about fasting for long periods. I would like to do a 3-day water-only fast and maintain a ketogenic diet during my eating window. Thank you! 👏👏💕
This a bit off the topic of this video. Dr. Fung,I would like to hear what you have to say about Prof. Thomas Seyfried’s (Boston University) idea that cancer is a metabolic disease rather than a genetic disease. Prof. Seyfried has done a lot research on the Warburg effect and is convinced that cancer is a disease of dysfunctional mitochondria.
Check out my video "Fasting can Reverse Type 2 Diabetes" ruclips.net/video/fEszxSqjyc4/видео.html

Thank You Dr Fung!!! Your information is helping me.
Dr. You are saviour. Thanks for your videos. Narrow escape from getting diabetes.
Will be disciplined hereafter.
Great,channel Dr. Jung. There is so much disinformation on RUclips. Really enjoying listening to you ☺️. I am having a harder time keeping my normal weight as I get older. I am not diabetic and don’t ever want to be. I don’t want to go on some goofy guru diet…just common sense. I have always eaten in a very health conscious way, just need a little tweeking I think. So,thank you for all you do here.
Great info, as always! ❤
Fantastic information Dr Fung you have consistently showed us how to naturally manage our unnatural food pyramid

I started taking the probiotic Akkermansia muciniphilia which stimulates GLP1
As a mid-westerner I appreciate the Docs use of the word Pop.
ڈاکٹر صاحب میں پاکستان سے ہوں مجھے انگلش کی سمجھ نہیں اتی لیکن اپ کا نام سنا ہے جو انگلش لیکچر کو اردو میں ٹرانسلیٹ کرتے ہیں اپ نے بہت اچھا کام کیا ہے اور اب مجھے انسلین رزسٹنس کے بارے میں سمجھ ا چکی ہے شکریہ ڈاکٹر صاحب
😊
Dr. I thank God for you !!
Thank you, Dr. Fung.
I wonder what is the optimal amount of fat grams to add to a meal to optimize for the GLP-1 increase without overcompensating with the increased cals from the fat? (study around 4:40 timestamp)
you Doctor, has helped me tremendously. Thank You from Kerala India
I started the fatty liver diet, and intermittent fasting, I've worked up to a couple of water fasts.
I've lost 50 lbs, sadly I need to lose at least another 50 lbs to get to just overweight, but the weight is still coming off, so hurray!
My problems are, that a lot of the symptoms of fatty liver, have gone, or improved dramatically, which is great,but most of my symptoms that point to some form of auto immune/thyroid problems have stayed the same, even worsening.
I started taking suppliments, when I started dieting,iron selenium, magnesium, zinc, etc, but they do not seem to have affected my " thyroid" problems. The basic Thyroid test now comes back as normal.
Can anyone relate to this?
Brilliant Doc Fung.
Very interesting and useful Dr. Fung, thank you. I am sharing your videos to my friends
Thank you so much Dr. Fung
Marvellous 🌟 as always 🌟Thank you Dr Fung ❤
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Fung!
What foods are considered “bitter?”
Thank you so much for your video and information. Your videos always encourages me to maintain my health and leads me to the truth. Really appreciated for your efforts❤❤❤
Hi Dr Fung! I know this to be true because it helped easily me lose over 100+ lbs when paired with daily 16:8 IF and once a month 3-5 day EFs. Wasn't ever hungry. Energy and labs were better. I went off for a while and gained 50 lbs. back. I have since returned to my protocol but after 3 months, I'm not having any results at all. On top of that I seem to be hungrier than before with the same foods. I'm now taking berberine supplements and iodine to help with my thyroid. I also exercising for hours most days. Still, I don't know what has changed to receive no results. If you have any insight into this I would be greatly appreciative Thank you!💕
I’m curious as to why you allowed yourself to gain back 50 pounds. I would’ve thought that at 10 pounds you would’ve been alerted just saying.
Blue butterfly. That is amazing you lost 100 lbs at some point.
I lost 35 and gained 45 back 😅. Now I started again with a smaller eating window and cutting the coffee out of my life. Some say coffee raises cortisol.
I hope you find your footing again
Green tea always helps me
You are GREAT!!! Thank you so much for your info!
Thank you Jason, good solid advice, as always
Dr Fung: in your definition of bitter foods, would you also include vinegars?
Thank you, dear doctor Fung!
Thank you Dr. Fung! What are your thoughts about Allulose sweetener? Are you familiar with Dr. Perlmutter, Dr. Johnson /Lustig studies that are also showing the benefit of it having GLP1 effect.
Thanks for all you do 😊🙏
I gain when i use allulose. Seems to be just water weight but really weird.
I get GI problems from all the sweeteners, including Allulose, Erythritol, Xylitol. Watery stool within two hours.
@@teddibear1850 Wow, interesting! Maybe Dr Fung will do a video about it vs. Monk fruit and stevia, what they do etc. Or just do without? Just wondering if there could be any safe sweeteners?
I wear CGM so I can say that 10gram allulose has no effect on my blood glucose at all. What I can see is that my uric acid finally going down after using allulose daily, it was 9-12 since october and yesterday it was 6.5
@@frex555 Yes, that's what I have read. I'm using it for my brother who has gout and stage three kidney disease because of those benefits.👍
I actually love bittermelon, it’s even better when it was explained how the bitterness helps to activate incretin.
It's great with scrambled eggs.
@@skoal1532thanks! Do you sauté it?
@@nancycy9039 yes, slice the bitter melon thinly as desired, then saute them with some shallots, then pour your eggs in when ready. It's a traditional Filipino dish, and I love it! I hope you enjoy it
I do not know what bitter melon is.?
@@candybaxter8879 quick google. I haven’t seen them in many stores here in the US other than Asian markets, however I have seen them in Kroger from time to time.
Thank you for the work you are making!! Can you please comment on if there can be any positive side effects of fasting on patients with primary biliary cholangitis? 🙌🏻
It is not just the "What" people are eating but "Why" they are eating it, which is stress.
Thanks for this valuable info,
Dr Fung? Do you have any videos about long term fasting (more than 24 hours) and low blood sugar symptoms. And how to handle that
Excellent, thank you.
Dear Doctor, Could you please make a video discussing fasting and gallstones? My ultrasound showed gallstones, and I am concerned about fasting for long periods. I would like to do a 3-day water-only fast and maintain a ketogenic diet during my eating window.
Thank you! 👏👏💕
Thank you for sharing this information.
This a bit off the topic of this video. Dr. Fung,I would like to hear what you have to say about Prof. Thomas Seyfried’s (Boston University) idea that cancer is a metabolic disease rather than a genetic disease. Prof. Seyfried has done a lot research on the Warburg effect and is convinced that cancer is a disease of dysfunctional mitochondria.
Read Dr. Fung's "The Cancer Code". It is even more eye opening than The Diabetes Code although it is quite technical.
Lynch syndrome?
I don't eat because I'm hungry. I eat to soothe free floating anxiety and boredom. I think the berberine is helping.
