1. Overeating. Eat normally when not actually fasting. 2. Eating wrong diet. A high insulin diet will make it harder to stick to your fasting plan. 3:13 3. Doing it alone. 6:13 4. Triggers like emotional eating and other bad habits 7:05 5. Right environment 8:17 Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Reflexes and short term memory are increased. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Losing weight through intermittent fasting shows greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Wow! There it is in a nutshell. Thank you. I’m going over to your RUclips channel now. See you there. Maybe I can learn HOW to fast now that I know why I should fast.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Just start slowly and work up. Electrolytes and meds are the biggest pitfalls, but eating carbs when you break the fast also cause binging and other problems.
I've lost over 50lbs with fasting and this is the best thing that I have ever done for my life. I even started a RUclips channel to share my journey. I have a 50 more pounds to go and I know with fasting I will meet my goal.
February will be my five year anniversary of IF and cutting out sugar. One thing I've learned is that probably the most important part, even more that fasting, is eating unprocessed foods. That is an easy thing to say, but much harder to actually do. It is hard to overeat unprocessed foods. Food had never made sense to me, and the switch from junk calories to unprocessed food has shown me that when eating actual real food it does work, it does make sense.
At first, I fasted every other day. Then 3 days fasting, one day off. Then every saturday I eat. Now I fasted for 10 days. One day refed. I lost 30 kgs since august 3rd 2022. Feeling so good. Thanks dr. Fung

Hi, I just want to thank you for your videos on intermittent fasting,my wife has lost 8 kilo's I've lost 15.5 kilo's and my daughter has lost 22 kilo's.All in 3.5 month's.im now the weight I was when we got married 41 year's ago.i feel so much better and I feel it's helping me with my cancer. Your videos are inspirational and motivational.thank you again
On point No. 3. For those who are alone in their pursuit of health, weight loss, reversal of T2D etc, refer regularly to video's which assist you in maintaining your will. The more you learn about how the body works and understanding the importance of a whole food lifestyle, the stronger you become, the easier it is to remain focussed without actually being conscious of being focused. Affirmation, steep yourself in the habits which promote health and longevity and be empowered by this pursuit.
I agree. It's not easy to have everyone on board. Watching lots of Dr. Fung and others to help keep me motivated. Plus...I just feel better!! We have to lead by example I guess.
I started intermittent fasting 5 weeks ago. I only eat for 4 hours each day, except for coffee or tea. I have lost 20 pounds and my blood sugars are almost normal. The best part is that it’s not hard. Yes, I get a little hungry around 4 pm, but I find that I can make is to 6 or 7 pm when we usually eat dinner without much trouble. If I absolutely have to eat, I have some nuts. For my evening snack I have nuts of full fat Greek yogurt. I am feeling better that I have in years. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
Thanks for the info. I started a few days ago after a long time. Jus wondering how much do u eat in 4 hours window? Do u do any sort of exercise? I tend to eat afternoon then struggle at night. Any tips plz?? 🙂
I am also on week 5, but its different for me. I only eat one meal a day, but ive noticed if i eat some carbs, my weight loss stops. My goal was 20lbs but it stopped at 16lbs loss. Hard! Also I eat more in one sitting.
As well as the great feeling that comes after fasting. You have less cleaning of cooking utensils less energy used as you don't have to cook when you fast. Less shopping, more high quality foods. And you spend less dosh. Sound's like a plan. The Fungster has made a convert of me.
Wrong. Because you eat healthier, cost more on groceries, plus if during feeding time you have to eat enough as usually to prevent calories and nutrition deficiency and very important to eat enough to nourish the body..
@@Hippy2021 Well I dont stuff myself when I am eating my meals Otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of fasting. Also if you buy good quality meat ,fish and butter, bacon and some veg it does not cost as much as crackers bread pasta waffles chips mash donoughts cakes pies candies crisps and sodas. I am sure that their is much more addictive rubbish that people call food. Good luck Mary keep going at what works for you.
@@Hippy2021 It depends on the individual. I was already eating healthy food before I began intermittent fasting--although I have made some small adjustments. But overall I am spending less on food now that I have fewer eating days.
My in-laws are visiting from China, you know how it is😂 I had to explain why i don't eat with the rest of the family because i am fasting for health reasons and they don't seem to understand. Elder generations think not eating three meals on time is a sin🙄. Anyways, my husband talked with them and they seemed to respect my diet but refuse to understand, that's why I have to do it alone. I am no where close to obese in BMI so diagnosed with pre-type 2 shocked me. I saw Dr Fungs video and thought to give it a try. I am losing about 1-2 pounds a week on a 12hr diet. My A1C went from 7.4 to 5.4 in 4 weeks. I am more energetic and sleep better already! I think i can stick with my routine forever! Thank you Doc!
Happy New Year, everyone.. I am starting my my IF today . Jumping right in as I done it before and lost weight and felt so much better in my own skin ...
Mistakes 1) Overeating after period of fasting. Could negate the benefit of fasting. Forget that u ve done a fast, eat normal as possible, normal amount. 2) Eating wrong diet- body use sugar or fat to burn energy. 3) Doing it alone- easier to do it with friends or family. 4)Triggers- emotional eating, go and do something else for example 5) The right environment- get out of the kitchen. Don’t work in kitchen Thank u Dr Jason 🎉❤I’m currently trying to do IF 18/6 and 22/2 🙏
I've been on 36 hr alternating days plan since I read Diabetic Code. This is only my second week but I've already noticed a major reduction in appetite on 'eat days'. Tuesday night I almost forgot to have dinner!
Happy 2023!! You are my favorite Doctor 😍 💛 💓!!! I was fasting , like a lot thanks to your videos information. ... I was doing lots of 24 and 48 hour fast.. Lost so much weight Felt so energized . Then I went on summer vacation.....and stop fasting...no bueno... I have nor been able to go back to fasting... I need to stay out of the kitchen .. I need to join the fasting method.. I will do it ..I must do it.... Hello otra vez, So Iam back fasting now (1-4-23 ) on my way to a 36 hour fast....guess what has been the strength and inspiration helping me to do it???? All the fasting videos on this channel....Dr. Fung you videos are my fasting friend and motivation !!!! Chao
They should give you the hero’s medal! Thanks! For years I had no idea why I kept gaining or couldn’t lose, seemingly eating less and less. It appears that cup of coffee with sugar, around the clock, had a lock on me! Gave that up and things are getting better day by day!
My eyes tell me I ‘need’ to eat that particular food when I’m not hungry. 😠 I’ve noticed that boredom & the cold weather make me ‘think’ I need to eat. I’ve gained 8# recently & that is so aggravating to me. I need to get out of the kitchen! 😂 Thank you Jason again for your teaching! HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎆

Thank you for this video, it was just what i needed today!!!! I have type 2 diabetes and just started fasting last Tuesday. I ti unbelievable the difference in my blood sugars already
Welcome aboard! I found dr fung channel 3 months ago, I fasted and lost 15lbs. I used the app ZERO to track my fastjng and join the challenge in the app like fastjng for 16 hours a day 4 days a week. Etc it make me focused of reaching the goal of fasting instead of food. Now I am eating one meal a day no problem. Hope this help. And best wishes
Jumping back on the Intermittent Fasting wagon after the last 3 months and 30 lb weight gain.....I look forward to your videos for as much support as possible.
Many thanks, Dr Jung. Yesterday I had dinner at 9:20 and I didn't eat again until 1:00 p.m today. As a result, I had good sleep and I feel so good today. I'm so grateful to you
I'm about to start my post-Xmas fast (mainly for health/autophagy than fat-burning reasons), so thank you, Dr Fung. This is a useful and timely reminder. 😊
Just came home from mountain hiking. I could never do it before. It was hard but I was able to do it. I believe this is because I have been fasting. I have just entered my 4th month and looking at photos taken today! I look and feel so different now. I becoming healthier❤ Thank you Dr.Fung! May God bless you!
I agree Dr Fung... I mistakenly tend to overeat after my prolonged fasts or during eating windows of my intermittent fastings, although it's NOT junk-refined processed foods, but nevertheless I do overeat on wholesome foods. Obviously, I don't experience weight loss, but either remain in the same weight or gain some 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for your help and greetings from Italy 😉💖

Happy New Year, best wishes for a very happy and prosperous new year, Dr Fung. May this new year bring you and your family many blessings along its path. You are a Rockstar, in my eyes, you helped me lose 35 pounds effortlessly and gave me the knowledge and tools to implement a new, healthy lifestyle. I am in the best shape of my life at 60 years old, feeling strong and vibrant. I will continue to tun in religiously to your videos in the coming year. Take care, with thanks and regards from Switzerland.

Dr fung, the best thumbnails are those with ur friendly face. No need for splashy thumbnails of some muscleman doing weird faces. U should fire whoever is in charge of ur thumbnails lol. We, ur original fans have been here from the beginning and dont need anything else than u educating us and we are thrilled to see ur channel growing as u very well deserve. And theres still millions more that have yet to find their way to ur channel.
I prefer fasting on my own. I also prefer exercising on my own. Many of the drawbacks others face do not apply to me. I always had the ability to fast or feast at any given time. I can eat what 2 people normally eat without any difficulty. I also have no problem skipping meals for a whole day. It is partly due to being a vegetarian and not being able to find vegetarian food when I travelled within Malaysia. When going for long walks, I prefer to be on my own, whereby I can walk at the pace I want, without having to speed up or slow down to match the others. Even as a child, I resented having to eat even when I didn't feel hungry. It was a big relief to me when I found out about intermittent fasting and autophagy after watching Dr. Jason Fung's videos. I have been practicing intermittent fasting for the last 5 months and I feel so much better now. I know that what works for me is likely not to work for most people.
@@jamescalifornia2964 Good luck. I too started my fasting regime with a 120 hour fast, but broke the fast after 90+ hours. I wasn't feeling hungry. I had very high acidic feeling in my mouth. I mistakenly thought that I had too much acidity in the gut and broke the fast. It was weeks later that I discovered that the reason I felt acidic was due to too little acid in the GI tract. Had I known what I know now, I could have fasted for a week. After the 2nd day, there was no hunger.
First meal 10 am, second 15 h pm and that's it almost one year . Breakfast usually eggs, green vegetables .Lunch chicken 🍗,fish, cauliflower, brokoli, kinoa,. Every autoimmune disorders disappeare .(nokturia,hashimoto,artritis,insulin goes down) Fasting heal....
Agreed, I do keto omad for my RA and it helps a lot with symptoms. I'm shortly going to start a 5-day fast - hopefully - to clear away the issues I got from eating 'badly' over the Xmas period.
I didn't even realize I have been intermittent fasting for years. I thought intermittent fasting consisted of eating every other day. Oh well, I hadn't ever looked into it, so I never knew better. My brother and mom are diabetic. He decided to eat better to improve his health, he started eating the same things that I have always enjoyed. I'm hoping I will not ever be diabetic, but probably won't be because I am 51 and 135 lbs and LOVE the things that are good for me, don't like junk anymore. I did fast for religious purposes throughout the years, I guess that helped me unknowingly.
Eating every other day is a type of intermittent fasting.. but these days when people say "intermittent fasting" they sometimes mean time restricted eating.. The words "fasting" and "restricted" seem to scare people or make them jump to objections.. Tell them "eat no more than 3 times a day including any snack and don't eat at night" and they agree it's healthy. Good on you for cutting out and no longer craving junk. That's more than half the battle for a lot of people.
@@AzaleaBee Thank you my friend! I have multiple sclerosis and I have definitely tried to make sure the stuff that goes into my body, including food, will not bring further damage. I have so much pain in my legs that I can't imagine what it would be like trying to walk if I hadn't eaten wisely earlier in life. One just never knows what the future holds and it's better to eat wisely than to throw caution to the wind. Thanks for your kind words! God bless you and your family!
I worked at an electrical gen plant. I noticed that when an employee was promoted to control room operator it was a 30 pound weight increase, me included. There was no set lunch time, eat when you can. It was too easy to snack your way thru a shift. Also a high stress job with rotating shifts. After finding Dr Fung I am mortified at how bad all this was.
#5 can be a challenge for us because we have a studio apartment (the kitchen and living room and pretty much everything is one space 😂) BUT I’ve found it so helpful to clean my kitchen thoroughly. I don’t want to dirty it again by cooking something to eat while I prefer to be fasting. It’s been working! Love Jason Fung and The Fasting Method - Megan and Nadia and Terry on the podcast, so wonderful what they all share! 🤩
Maybe get a nice air freshener so you won’t want to make cooking smells & maybe a decorative screen or even a curtain rod w a curtain to block the kitchen area
Thanks for the great videos! Of my 3 favorite creators on the subject of fasting your vids have the lowest amount of “triggers” What I mean by this, is that you don’t show a bunch of pictures or videos of people eating or food items. You did it once in this vid in the first few minutes, compared with your vid from about a year ago on the same topic; eating too much/ biggest mistake which I just watched prior, (thanks to the algorithms) Any way, thanks for spreading the word, you do great work!
@@Alex-ry6cd How so? I have lost over 90 lbs while gaining muscle following Dr. Fung's intermittent fasting advice, something I could never do with calorie reduction diets. How is success indicative of fraud?
I just want to know any of the dangers. Like can he say the unglamorous side effects of doing it the worst possible way? How could fasting kill you? That is content. Content is king.
I’m in the kitchen all my life. However it’s a lot of mental will. Unfortunately. I fast alone. Only picked it up last week. Now day 2 since I didn’t inform myself further. Yet. Here we are and we pushing for at least 1 week.
i hear what dr fung is saying @6:19 about doing it with family and friends, but that concept promotes dependency. We all have to develop an independent mentality of accomplishing things ourselves. Nothing wrong if someone wants to workout with you or begin a healthy eating regimen with you, but you have to maintain a core commitment independently of the shared activities with that person(s). I have experienced or witnessed this many times, whereby a person used the other person as a crutch too much, so when that person could not workout for a long time period; for whatever reason, that adversely affect the other if that person not committed to what they doing.....The responsibility is on you, not anyone else.
Thanks for your great content. Switch your camera to manually focus is going to solve your camera haunting to focus. Because you usually have fix distance, you can do it easily.
reducing portion size is actually really good imo your stomach gets smaller over time and you get used to eating less with each meal but maybe you have to eat a little more frequent and so you maybe you shouldn't do omad and go for something with a shorter fasting time I remember I had 2 weeks at a school hostle with my class and I noticed the portions of food we got there were way smaller than what I used to eat at first I still was hungry after eating but after a few days I got used to it and I actually lost weight and even when I got home I still couldn't eat much cause I was so used to the small portion size but I also didn't need to eat much cause I was just satisfied
Hi Dr. Fung! I'm new to IF. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a RUclips video where someone was interviewing you. It made total sense to me. I'd like to thank you for your work, ur dedication to humanity, and for giving up your time so freely. I bought your book so that is helping me. My question is this (if you have the time to answer it - I actually have 2 questions 😁). My first is: I just turned 62, I'm 4'11 (barely) I weigh 139.9 on 12/27 @ my most recent doctor visit. I started IF on Tuesday 01/17. I fast during the day drinking coffee, tea and broth. I eat dinner between 5-6 & eat whatever I cook for my family. I don't go overboard or anything. Do you think I should increase this to IF to where if I have dinner on Monday at 5, do IF & not eat till Wednesday at 5, OR do you think what I have been doing, i.e., eating once a day should be sufficient? My second question is when I was at Costco, I saw a little box of 6 cans of Unsweetened coconut milk. I bought it, because it had zero sugar and only one carb per 1/3 cup and 12 grams of fat.... When I got home I didn't see this in ur book as an approved additives. I only would use a teaspoon or two. What are your thoughts. And thank you to you and All the Nepherologist around the world who took care of people like my Dad. You are the real Heroes/Superheros of the world. 💝 Thank you again, for your time.
If you're doing everything Dr Fung just said plus a bit of exercise, it definitely WILL work. I did it last year July to December and the weight tumbled off. Never seen anything like it. I'm just eating through Christmas leftovers and then I'm going to try a 5-day fast (for autophagy - I have rheumatoid arthritis and fasting helps) before returning to omad or 2mad. Best of luck on your journey! 👍🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
Hello Dr. Fung, Thanks so much for the great work which you're doing. "I have been made to believe over the years that I'm suffering from *TYPE-2* Diabetes, but It seem am suffering from *TYPE-1* Diabetes because no other kind of medication works for me except *insulin*. Please, let me know what *kind of TEST(s)* which I can do in order to confirm the specific *TYPE* of Diabetes which I am suffering from so that I can effectively follow-up with your presentations that are relevant to my *specific TYPE* of Diabetes. Kindly let me know. Thank you"
Intermittent Fasting Myths - Top 5 - ruclips.net/video/MLxwtwYPkHU/видео.html
1. Overeating. Eat normally when not actually fasting.
2. Eating wrong diet. A high insulin diet will make it harder to stick to your fasting plan. 3:13
3. Doing it alone. 6:13
4. Triggers like emotional eating and other bad habits 7:05
5. Right environment 8:17
Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system.
Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.
Losing weight through intermittent fasting shows greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity!
The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses.
Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention!
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging.
Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb.
Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Wow! There it is in a nutshell. Thank you. I’m going over to your RUclips channel now. See you there. Maybe I can learn HOW to fast now that I know why I should fast.
I am reading this on day 5 fasting 😉👌
@@jamescalifornia2964 That's great!
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Just start slowly and work up. Electrolytes and meds are the biggest pitfalls, but eating carbs when you break the fast also cause binging and other problems.
Fasting saved my life iam no longer a binge eater iam very disciplined now and I love it all I eat is two meals per day no snacking
I did 40 days of one meal a day and dont know how to get out of it! i eat more and more in one sitting!
I've lost over 50lbs with fasting and this is the best thing that I have ever done for my life. I even started a RUclips channel to share my journey. I have a 50 more pounds to go and I know with fasting I will meet my goal.
whats your youtube channel as starting my own journey also on youtube ?
@@robertYoung-ut6bk I'm guessing it's fasting with Carla
February will be my five year anniversary of IF and cutting out sugar.
One thing I've learned is that probably the most important part, even more that fasting, is eating unprocessed foods. That is an easy thing to say, but much harder to actually do. It is hard to overeat unprocessed foods. Food had never made sense to me, and the switch from junk calories to unprocessed food has shown me that when eating actual real food it does work, it does make sense.

At first, I fasted every other day. Then 3 days fasting, one day off. Then every saturday I eat. Now I fasted for 10 days. One day refed. I lost 30 kgs since august 3rd 2022. Feeling so good. Thanks dr. Fung

Your videos are inspirational and motivational.thank you again
Those first few months, are a real pick me up, but be careful fall and winter will mess you right back up
i started in December and i drank fresh orange juice first thing in the morning and went on with my fast as normal to help me with cravings
@@user-co9hx6gh4y
Don't drink your calories, stay away from juices and all processed foods, because fructose and sucrose go straight to storage.
@@wombat7961 I lost weight during fall and winter last year. Your idea that intermittent fasting does not wirk during these seasons is mistaken.
On point No. 3. For those who are alone in their pursuit of health, weight loss, reversal of T2D etc, refer regularly to video's which assist you in maintaining your will. The more you learn about how the body works and understanding the importance of a whole food lifestyle, the stronger you become, the easier it is to remain focussed without actually being conscious of being focused. Affirmation, steep yourself in the habits which promote health and longevity and be empowered by this pursuit.

😚👌 Very good suggestion
I agree. It's not easy to have everyone on board. Watching lots of Dr. Fung and others to help keep me motivated. Plus...I just feel better!! We have to lead by example I guess.
Thank you for this. I've had to actually cook meals for my children while doing 5 day fasts. That's definitely a challenge.
You are much stronger than you think ! 😏👌
I started intermittent fasting 5 weeks ago. I only eat for 4 hours each day, except for coffee or tea. I have lost 20 pounds and my blood sugars are almost normal. The best part is that it’s not hard. Yes, I get a little hungry around 4 pm, but I find that I can make is to 6 or 7 pm when we usually eat dinner without much trouble. If I absolutely have to eat, I have some nuts. For my evening snack I have nuts of full fat Greek yogurt. I am feeling better that I have in years. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
Thanks for the info. I started a few days ago after a long time. Jus wondering how much do u eat in 4 hours window? Do u do any sort of exercise? I tend to eat afternoon then struggle at night. Any tips plz?? 🙂
I am also on week 5, but its different for me. I only eat one meal a day, but ive noticed if i eat some carbs, my weight loss stops. My goal was 20lbs but it stopped at 16lbs loss. Hard! Also I eat more in one sitting.
As well as the great feeling that comes after fasting. You have less cleaning of cooking utensils less energy used as you don't have to cook when you fast. Less shopping, more high quality foods. And you spend less dosh. Sound's like a plan. The Fungster has made a convert of me.
Wrong. Because you eat healthier, cost more on groceries, plus if during feeding time you have to eat enough as usually to prevent calories and nutrition deficiency and very important to eat enough to nourish the body..
Unless you have a family you care for. Then you're still cooking and cleaning.
@@larissaalcorn3406
My teen boys are better cooks than I am so they are well able to look after their own nutrition. While I am fasting.
@@Hippy2021
Well I dont stuff myself when I am eating my meals Otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of fasting.
Also if you buy good quality meat ,fish and butter, bacon and some veg it does not cost as much as crackers bread pasta waffles chips mash
donoughts cakes pies candies crisps and sodas.
I am sure that their is much more addictive rubbish that people call food.
Good luck Mary keep going at what works for you.
@@Hippy2021 It depends on the individual. I was already eating healthy food before I began intermittent fasting--although I have made some small adjustments. But overall I am spending less on food now that I have fewer eating days.
You have absolutely changed my life, I will be forever grateful for stumbling across your videos. Have a fabulous 2023! ❤
My in-laws are visiting from China, you know how it is😂 I had to explain why i don't eat with the rest of the family because i am fasting for health reasons and they don't seem to understand. Elder generations think not eating three meals on time is a sin🙄. Anyways, my husband talked with them and they seemed to respect my diet but refuse to understand, that's why I have to do it alone. I am no where close to obese in BMI so diagnosed with pre-type 2 shocked me. I saw Dr Fungs video and thought to give it a try. I am losing about 1-2 pounds a week on a 12hr diet. My A1C went from 7.4 to 5.4 in 4 weeks. I am more energetic and sleep better already! I think i can stick with my routine forever! Thank you Doc!
Happy New Year, Dr. Fung! Thank you for changing my life. All the best of 2023 to you and your loved ones.
Happy new year Fungsters!!!
Happy New Year, everyone..
I am starting my my IF today .
Jumping right in as I done it before and lost weight and felt so much better in my own skin ...
Mistakes
1) Overeating after period of fasting. Could negate the benefit of fasting. Forget that u ve done a fast, eat normal as possible, normal amount.
2) Eating wrong diet- body use sugar or fat to burn energy.
3) Doing it alone- easier to do it with friends or family.
4)Triggers- emotional eating, go and do something else for example
5) The right environment- get out of the kitchen. Don’t work in kitchen
Thank u Dr Jason 🎉❤I’m currently trying to do IF 18/6 and 22/2 🙏
Welcome to 2023 a happy new year from Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕🇿🇦
Thank you Dr Fung. Your comments are so timely. Im starting rolling 72s tonight.

I need to stay out of the kitchen ..
I need to join the fasting method..
I will do it ..I must do it....

So Iam back fasting now (1-4-23 ) on my way to a 36 hour fast....guess what has been the strength and inspiration helping me to do it???? All the fasting videos on this channel....Dr. Fung you videos are my fasting friend and motivation !!!! Chao
They should give you the hero’s medal! Thanks! For years I had no idea why I kept gaining or couldn’t lose, seemingly eating less and less. It appears that cup of coffee with sugar, around the clock, had a lock on me! Gave that up and things are getting better day by day!
My eyes tell me I ‘need’ to eat that particular food when I’m not hungry. 😠 I’ve noticed that boredom & the cold weather make me ‘think’ I need to eat. I’ve gained 8# recently & that is so aggravating to me. I need to get out of the kitchen! 😂 Thank you Jason again for your teaching! HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎆

I mistakenly tend to overeat after my prolonged fasts or during eating windows of my intermittent fastings,
although it's NOT
junk-refined
processed foods,
but nevertheless
I do overeat on wholesome foods.

We, ur original fans have been here from the beginning and dont need anything else than u educating us and we are thrilled to see ur channel growing as u very well deserve. And theres still millions more that have yet to find their way to ur channel.
I prefer fasting on my own. I also prefer exercising on my own. Many of the drawbacks others face do not apply to me.
I always had the ability to fast or feast at any given time. I can eat what 2 people normally eat without any difficulty. I also have no problem skipping meals for a whole day. It is partly due to being a vegetarian and not being able to find vegetarian food when I travelled within Malaysia.
When going for long walks, I prefer to be on my own, whereby I can walk at the pace I want, without having to speed up or slow down to match the others.
Even as a child, I resented having to eat even when I didn't feel hungry. It was a big relief to me when I found out about intermittent fasting and autophagy after watching Dr. Jason Fung's videos.
I have been practicing intermittent fasting for the last 5 months and I feel so much better now.
I know that what works for me is likely not to work for most people.
I am on day 5 fasting. First time ! 😉

Good luck. I too started my fasting regime with a 120 hour fast, but broke the fast after 90+ hours. I wasn't feeling hungry. I had very high acidic feeling in my mouth. I mistakenly thought that I had too much acidity in the gut and broke the fast.
It was weeks later that I discovered that the reason I felt acidic was due to too little acid in the GI tract. Had I known what I know now, I could have fasted for a week. After the 2nd day, there was no hunger.

Thank you for your ongoing support and guidance.
This guy is so smart 👍🏻
I didn't even realize I have been intermittent fasting for years. I thought intermittent fasting consisted of eating every other day. Oh well, I hadn't ever looked into it, so I never knew better. My brother and mom are diabetic. He decided to eat better to improve his health, he started eating the same things that I have always enjoyed. I'm hoping I will not ever be diabetic, but probably won't be because I am 51 and 135 lbs and LOVE the things that are good for me, don't like junk anymore. I did fast for religious purposes throughout the years, I guess that helped me unknowingly.
Eating every other day is a type of intermittent fasting.. but these days when people say "intermittent fasting" they sometimes mean time restricted eating.. The words "fasting" and "restricted" seem to scare people or make them jump to objections.. Tell them "eat no more than 3 times a day including any snack and don't eat at night" and they agree it's healthy.
Good on you for cutting out and no longer craving junk. That's more than half the battle for a lot of people.
@@AzaleaBee Thank you my friend! I have multiple sclerosis and I have definitely tried to make sure the stuff that goes into my body, including food, will not bring further damage. I have so much pain in my legs that I can't imagine what it would be like trying to walk if I hadn't eaten wisely earlier in life. One just never knows what the future holds and it's better to eat wisely than to throw caution to the wind.
Thanks for your kind words! God bless you and your family!
I worked at an electrical gen plant. I noticed that when an employee was promoted to control room operator it was a 30 pound weight increase, me included. There was no set lunch time, eat when you can. It was too easy to snack your way thru a shift. Also a high stress job with rotating shifts. After finding Dr Fung I am mortified at how bad all this was.
This is explained so well.!! Thank you Jason.
Happy New Year Dr. Fung to you and your family!
#5 can be a challenge for us because we have a studio apartment (the kitchen and living room and pretty much everything is one space 😂) BUT I’ve found it so helpful to clean my kitchen thoroughly. I don’t want to dirty it again by cooking something to eat while I prefer to be fasting. It’s been working! Love Jason Fung and The Fasting Method - Megan and Nadia and Terry on the podcast, so wonderful what they all share! 🤩
Maybe get a nice air freshener so you won’t want to make cooking smells & maybe a decorative screen or even a curtain rod w a curtain to block the kitchen area
Thanks from Hong Kong
Thanks for the great videos!
Of my 3 favorite creators on the subject of fasting your vids have the lowest amount of “triggers”
What I mean by this, is that you don’t show a bunch of pictures or videos of people eating or food items.
You did it once in this vid in the first few minutes, compared with your vid from about a year ago on the same topic; eating too much/ biggest mistake which I just watched prior, (thanks to the algorithms)
Any way, thanks for spreading the word, you do great work!

I would love it if you would put on a retreat for a week that can give us a kickstart and some education and some real hands on help 😀❤️
Thank you very much Dr. Fung #fasting the Fountain of Youth
i hear what dr fung is saying @6:19 about doing it with family and friends, but that concept promotes dependency. We all have to develop an independent mentality of accomplishing things ourselves. Nothing wrong if someone wants to workout with you or begin a healthy eating regimen with you, but you have to maintain a core commitment independently of the shared activities with that person(s). I have experienced or witnessed this many times, whereby a person used the other person as a crutch too much, so when that person could not workout for a long time period; for whatever reason, that adversely affect the other if that person not committed to what they doing.....The responsibility is on you, not anyone else.

Thanks for your great content.
Switch your camera to manually focus is going to solve your camera haunting to focus. Because you usually have fix distance, you can do it easily.
I will start my fasting when i finish all my new year left over foods in the fridge😊
Thanks so much for changing my life.
Let's go!
A timely reminder. Thanks!
Thank uou Dr jason fung sir. You are just so amazing 👏 thanks for your help
reducing portion size is actually really good imo
your stomach gets smaller over time and you get used to eating less with each meal
but maybe you have to eat a little more frequent and so you maybe you shouldn't do omad and go for something with a shorter fasting time
I remember I had 2 weeks at a school hostle with my class and I noticed the portions of food we got there were way smaller than what I used to eat
at first I still was hungry after eating but after a few days I got used to it and I actually lost weight
and even when I got home I still couldn't eat much cause I was so used to the small portion size but I also didn't need to eat much cause I was just satisfied
Thank you for these helpful tips.
Well elaborated in short time.💯
Thank You!
Thanks 🙏🏽 so much
Hi Dr. Fung! I'm new to IF. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a RUclips video where someone was interviewing you. It made total sense to me. I'd like to thank you for your work, ur dedication to humanity, and for giving up your time so freely. I bought your book so that is helping me. My question is this (if you have the time to answer it - I actually have 2 questions 😁). My first is: I just turned 62, I'm 4'11 (barely) I weigh 139.9 on 12/27 @ my most recent doctor visit. I started IF on Tuesday 01/17. I fast during the day drinking coffee, tea and broth. I eat dinner between 5-6 & eat whatever I cook for my family. I don't go overboard or anything. Do you think I should increase this to IF to where if I have dinner on Monday at 5, do IF & not eat till Wednesday at 5, OR do you think what I have been doing, i.e., eating once a day should be sufficient? My second question is when I was at Costco, I saw a little box of 6 cans of Unsweetened coconut milk. I bought it, because it had zero sugar and only one carb per 1/3 cup and 12 grams of fat.... When I got home I didn't see this in ur book as an approved additives. I only would use a teaspoon or two. What are your thoughts. And thank you to you and All the Nepherologist around the world who took care of people like my Dad. You are the real Heroes/Superheros of the world. 💝 Thank you again, for your time.
Happy new year Dr Fung
Excellent video! I’m into a fast right now…so it’s timely.
Thank you Doc, Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the video
I started Keto Omad, I hope it's working
If you're doing everything Dr Fung just said plus a bit of exercise, it definitely WILL work. I did it last year July to December and the weight tumbled off. Never seen anything like it.
I'm just eating through Christmas leftovers and then I'm going to try a 5-day fast (for autophagy - I have rheumatoid arthritis and fasting helps) before returning to omad or 2mad.
Best of luck on your journey! 👍🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
