They're just doing exactly what their billion $$ pharma industry professors taught them. After many years of med school, one just does what he's told to get the paper
I watched a video about fasting from you in December. I started following your advice, cut out sugar and most all processed food, and I've already lost 20 lbs. I feel so much better and energetic!! Thank you for making sense and giving easy to follow advice 😊 ❤
Please link me I need to lose 20 lbs. Am diabetes 2. Scared because I never gained before and crave Snicker Bars. Big belly fat! I hate this feel horrible!
@@ulyanab.2706 I have fallen back into ppre diabetes . My glucose never excedes the healthy window of after meal glucose . However , depending on what I eat it can take longer than the 3 hour window to get my glucose under 100 . I suspect I am close to full reversal because at times I can eat whatever I like including sweets and have a normal glucose response .
@@ulyanab.2706 I began intermittent fasting and not eating any processed foods or carbs for 4 weeks before I knew I would be having my A1C tested. I also dropped 15 pounds and though I had been hypertensive for years my blood pressure is now in a normal range.
This time last year I weighed 270 lbs. (5'9"). I went Keto and worked my way to one meal a day. I ate less than 20 carbs almost every day and did some 72-hour fasts about once a month. I now weigh 180 lbs and A1C went from 8.7 to 6.4. I quit metformin and glipizide about 5 months ago. I will get another A1C test in a few weeks and I am hoping to be in the 5.9 range. Diet is everything! Sugar is horrendous to one's health. Your advice was my reason for the great improvements. Thank you, Doctor!
Weight loss isn't the full picture of health though. Diet without strong muscle or high stress levels/ sleep deprivation = metabolically unfit. Thin on Outside, Fat on Inside shortens the lifespan
Don’t be Afraid if you need some medication as for Metformin ER. You do want your HBAIc to be below 5.7% then you are good. How long were you on medication in the past, ie how long were you diabetic ?
My A1c went from 6.4 to 5 in less than 6 months doing Keto and IF. I lost 50 lbs and corrected about 42 health issues by my last count. I am almost 61 and could easily outperform myself at 25. My cardiologist said, "whatever you are doing, keep doing it."
Doctor! Your videos changed my life. I lost 23 kg ( 51 lbs ) in 45 days. Down from 96 kg ( 212 lbs ) to a now 73 kg ( 161 lbs ). Just realizing i was addicted to eating. Just like you said. A new way of living has opened up for all of us who are benefiting from what you are so unselfishly sharing with us. Being grateful to you is an under statement. Countless heartfelt thanks to you from all of us who believe you as a leader of the pack.
Thanks a lot to God he used you Doctor, my HbA1C on December 2023 was 7.3 and after I saw your video about Intermittent Fasting, thanks God it went down into 5.2. I highly reccomend you to really stop eating when you are not hungry, and also abolish the old habbit of eating snacks in between meals. The best way is to fast for 16 hours everyday and assign an 8 hours eating window. For example, you skip breakfast and eat your lunch. Then eat dinner maximum at 8pm and then skip again your breakfast the next day and do it repeatedly. 1) Skip Breakfast 2) Lunch at 12:00 noon 3) Dinner at 6:00pm or 8:00pm maximum Repeat it everyday and you can see the huge amount of your HbA1C reduction. Doing this is just like you are fasting from 8:00pm until 12:00noon the next day (16 hours of fasting). Believe me it works, thanks God for this Doctor.
Dr J, I am 71 and a diabetic since 30 years. I am following your intermittent fasting regimen. I notice a big positive change in my physiology. I am progressing and am sure I will become a non diabetic. 😊😊
Don't forget how important it is to build muscle strength too! This restores insulin sensitivity and creates a larger glucose holding tank throughout the body the more armor you put on through resistance training! It also helps prevent other chronic disease. Don't be sleep deprived either!
I was diagnosed with T2DM a year ago. Then I did my research fixed my diet and naturally started fasting. Now I'm doing low-carb + OMAD. I lost 70lbs in 9 months after 3months my A1C was 5.3 after 9 months it was 5.1. After the 6th month I stopped taking metformin. I'm so greatful for these educational videos on youtube.
That's great, insulin levels should be checked though as A1C is only 27% accurate in diagnosing diabetes. Be sure to build muscle too, not just diet alone. Too many are under-muscled and get many chronic diseases from low muscle mass
That's great, Ivan. Now time to build up the muscle strength for a whole new world of physiological & organ benefits! Strength training EFFECTIVELY improves 26 chronic diseases, and better yet another study showed a lack of exercise can lead to 35 chronic diseases 😮
I water fasted from 12/30/22-1/25/23 I lost 31lbs. My a1c was 8.4 now I am 5.6 I am not on medication anymore. I wish all doctor's were like you who fixes and heals illnesses not look at each person as $$$. My body doesn't accept sweets anymore. Tastes nasty. My glucose prior to eating varies from 80 to 100 depending what time. My glucose after eating is about highest at 138. Then drops to about 110 within 2 hrs then drops below 100. I am so happy. I was never a snacker but liked bubble tea. Now I eat healthier with no rice. I am Asian which was hard to quit on rice. I also eat 1 meal a day and do not over eat. I want to lower my a1c a bit more. Please don't give up everyone. I don't recommend but I did without a doctor bc I dont trust my endocrinologist. I stopped metformin also bc I trust my body. It really does know what it is doing. My lowest was 55 but very shortly went right back up to 90. I did not have any symptoms of hypoglycemia. I have the sensor that continuously reads my glucose which was very helpful.
@Darrell Williams nope I quit all my meds the day I started fasting. I did it extreme bc I know our body will take care of it. I started eating and I only eat once a day. I am eating good fats and barely any carbs. I eat avocado and eggs daily. Not too much meat. seafood yes but I haven't started red or white meat yet. I also was on allergy med every 24hr. I had something called dermatographism... something I don't wish on anyone. I am not taking any allergy pill daily. Haven't do far. I used to itch and burn like a rabid dog... no longer. Fasting is a cure for almost everything. I hope you and everyone give it a chance. Many doctors oppose to it and that is why I did it alone. Not recommended if you are on insulin etc without supervision.🤞
@@katk78 Well done I feel the same your body is designed to fix itself if it gets a chance. I just watched a programme called operation transformation. Its 6 orv7 people put on diet and excercise. The poor folks are expected to follow the same old eating plans. Low fat low taste pasta and flour and all things white. The amount of bread scones one person had on the work top was scary. Even the partners screw up their faces at the tasteless grub. Then they are expected to exhaust themselves running and exercising while they are hauling massive amounts of body weight. The contestants cry and awful to watch these shows. It's like the biggest loser. No one is ever brought back to show the weight stayed off. I am a fan of Dr J and if he says fasting helps health and Jason Fung and countless others well that's much easier for me than counting calories. Good luck with omad
@Karen O' Hanlon thank you so much. Your words are encouraging. Yes, I am also a fan of Dr. Fung. I first started fasting bc of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. If you haven't read The China studies, that book is very interesting too. Dr. Colin Campbell work is amazing! I am trying to fast a quick 24 to 48hrs weekly.
November 5, I started intermittent fasting with basically keto and Mediterranean diet. Today January 31 2023. I saw my endocrinologist. She was thrilled with the results of IF PLan diet. And even though I stopped taking all my diabetes medication, she was extremely pleased with the results so far I’ve lost 27 pounds. My sugar is maintaining good control. I will continue to do intermittent fasting and exclude the carbs and sugars. I’m so glad my son turned me on TO INTERMITTENT fasting. Good fats and protein. Little carbs, sugars. No processed foods. Thank you.
If I eat any fruit or grain, my sugar jumps over 250 almost immediately. But, everyone is different. Have to see what’s right for you. I can eat berries though.
Great Videos Dr! And Thanks! I’ve learned a lot. I’m 51, and I was 310 pounds last August. Started Intermittent Fasting on Sept, 1st. Currently at 250. Lost 60 pounds in a little over 4 months! ❤️😊👍
Ever every time you come out with new video, I drop everything and listen first, looking forward to listening more videos in 2023 thank you and I love you 💕
My A1c was 6.8, and I did intermittent fasting, low carb, and no sugar. In less than 6 months, i lost over 20 pounds, and my a1c dropped to 5.1... it works....give it a try
Dr J I've had diabetes for 10 yr's, On 01-23 I started IF twice a day my BP was 160/80 on 1-20-23 it's 113/64 and glucose is 88 before meal 131 after which is amazing but on 2-1-23 I notice my vision had change and I no longer need glasses. THANK YOU !!!! for giving me the information to take charge of my health and may God continue blessing you . AMEN !!!!
Pradip means light in Sanskrit and Hindi language. Keep spreading the light of wisdom Doctor ❤ You are a blessing for this world full of darkness of suffering and sickness.
I started listening to you last December. With what I learned from you and from the other doctors in You Tube like Dr. Fung, Dr. Lustig and Dr. Bikman, I became more determined to continue with eating 2× and sometimes once a day. From you, I learned to incorporate fats in my diet and as I lost weight, I did not lose the suppleness of my skin. I cannot thank you enough Dr. J. I am an Asian and being one, rice is a staple food that I'd been eating since I was born. I'd been able to stop eating rice since the last weekof December. It was not difficult since my motivation is to reverse my being pre-diabetic. Keto diet is expensive so I cannot do it. I eat plainly boiled vegetables with egg or fish or meat or chicken. I've alsolearned to make chia seed pudding and included this in my diet.
Dr Pradip is a golden human being. A real doctor who truly believes in treating and preventing diseases by targeting the cause and not treating the symptoms with money-making drugs that can in some instances make matters worse. May God bless and protect you always.
Been diabetic since birth, I'm 51 now weigh 133..STOPED all bread, rice, pastas ALL SUGAR, not even the sugar-free can't stand that stuff never liked it! Eat once a day 🥗 did this change 4 years ago and still on two different insulin had a heart attack last Christmas and blood is still 7.5 🤦!! I DO NOT stress, I love my meditation, I love my life, I love everybody unconditionally and always pretty much in a great mood elevating my consciousness in a higher realm.... BUT My heart doctor does not give a crap ass about ANYTHING! He has me on all these meds and still on two different insulins.... I am at a loss I do not know what else to do except never to eat AGAIN 🤷 LOL I need help.... Thanks for your advice and I'm glad I found you just a few days ago.😁🙏
Dr. Jamnadas, I followed your advice and changed my lifestyle. I've been doing Intermittent Fasting since January, 2023, I've lost 2 dress 👗 sizes, my sinusitis is cured, my blood pressure is normal, and I feel great. Thank you so much for educating me on how to heal my body❤
64yo male. Was diagnosed with T2 in 2015. The symptoms were getting worse, so my medications were increased. But no matter what I did, the 'dawn' readings were over 11%. So - I started on TRE about 2 months ago. Dropped all ultra processed food, limit processed food. Now drinking lemon water, made from actual lemons, in the morning. No more diet soda. Now - my dawn readings are around 6%. HBA1C is now around 6.5%. I will need to adjust my meds as I have had one or two hypo-glycemic 'episodes'. Thank you Dr. Jamnadas. My weight is finally tracking downwards and I have - energy!
Update - Now 14.5 Kgs total loss, 14cms down around the waist. Morning glucose down from around 180 to 120 (on average) - still a way to go yet. Strange thing is - does not feel like a diet (which it is not). More energy, feeling great. I will need to adjust my meds down in about 6 weeks.
Dear Pradeep Sir, I have been diagnosed with Hb1ac 6.1 .. I saw Dr Jason & your videos on IF. I am starting IF from today. I hope I will be fit again. Thank you to the doctors like you for spreading hope amongst so many people 🙏
Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, you're the best. Following your concepts on diet, I've lost 16 kgs ( from 85 kgs to 69 kgs ) in a period of 4 months. No to Sugar, No to Processed Foods & Yes to Whole Foods along with 15-16 hrs of intermittent fasting daily helped me achieve this. I believe you can eradicate DIABETES or so called HYPERINSULINAEMIA or INSULIN RESISTANCE out of this globe with the knowledge that you're sharing at no cost to your followers.
I am prediabetic at 63 and changed my diet completely be testing my blood sugar after eating everything for 2 weeks. I found what raised my glucose level because I kept detailed records. I eliminated the foods that bothered me and the Dr. Is right about cutting down sugars and walking after most meals. immediately after eating. This Dr. Is 100 %right! I
Thanks, Doc. After major depression got me overweight in the last couple of years, I just got a lab result of😢 6.3 A1C! This video helped me not get too stressed but focus on my diet! Thanks again!
Got sick and tired of being sick and tired....I decided to stop all process foods and started to eat whole foods and guess what...totally reversed my health situation. I feel tons better. Its amazing how many processed foods was actually killing me and yet tasted soo good. I woke up and hope other people will as-well.
I’ve listened to every video you’ve made plus the many interviews conducted with other RUclipsrs. I became a patient of yours because of your passion and your desire to really help people. Thank you for teaching us how to live healthier lives.
Great video. People seem to be confused about sugar. I meet people who think fruit is bad because it contains sugar. It’s a whole food though with fiber. 🙂 Whole food plant based is the only food with fiber. Zero fiber in animal products and almost none is processed. Whole food plant based for over 10 years and loving it!
I've been taking neutralized vinegar for insulin sensitivity, but by far the best thing you can do for it is a little extended fasting! 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. Fasting increases nitric oxide. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. 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! 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. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. 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. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. 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. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. 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. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. 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.

Any new or struggling type 2 diabetics need to watch this again, again, again and again!!!!! In May of ' 21 I was 250 lbs with an A1C of over 12...put on Metformin and Atorvastatin. Right now I'm in the low 170's with A1C sitting at 5.1 and off all meds. 2 whole food meals a day (very low carb, ZERO added sugar), no snacking, 16:8 fasting. It will change your life, folks. Let me add...triglycerides when diagnosed was over 180 and blood pressure 145 ish over 100 ish most of time. Last week blood work showed triglycerides at 52 and my BP was 113/72. All this due to the aforementioned and just walking 20 mins a day and not laying around.
Same here :) These videos are life changers. I just see how my mom is struggling with her T2MD, how the standard recommendations /like: you must eat 5 times a day/ are not working, but making the disease worse.
Didn't really count...never have. I eat twice a day until I'm full with no snacking in between. I eat nothing between 7 pm and 11 am. I'll drink water, black coffee and unsweetened tea. Anything in the green vegetable family I will eat. Green beans, asparagus, bell peppers, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. I add cheese sometimes for flavor and satiety. If I had to guess...I'd say 20 to 30 grams of carbs a day and sometimes less. I just stay away from junk and live fine now.
Hi, i am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. I am just curious, when did you stop taking meds? I really want to stick to this kind of lifestyle change - 2 full meals, no snacking and fasting. I really don't want to be on meds.
I think that depends on the severity of your T2D and will also come down to your will power/dedication. My T2D was a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 so it took me roughly 13 months and I think I could have been taken off 2 or 3 months earlier. The timing was based on when my blood work was done. Keep doing what you are doing with NO CHEATING. When you are trying to heal your body you don't deserve a treat contrary to what some people may tell you. T2D 98% of the time is the person's own fault because all we do is have too many "treats" that causes the disease in the 1st place. Remember...when you achieve your goal and get off meds and control your T2D with only food and being active, maintain what got you there. Your diabetes at that point is in remission and will come back in a New York minute if you let it.
Dr jamanadas, you are a true human being. You are saving us all. Continue your good work. I have lost 21 lb in 4 months with intermittent fasting. I have so much energy. My brain has woken up, and the brain fog has gone. I look younger! Again, thank you
Thanks Doc. I'm a diabetic and you spoke what drives home a lot of sense. Unfortunately many of us diabetics also suffer from unwillingness to make lifestyle changes.
Yep, Choices, to live or die. Seems your mind is telling you to live, as you watched this video! that's a positive!. No offense meant, to you, just hope you keep researching and do what's best for you. Best of luck.
I like Dr. J. The only thing is, if I eat plant material I gain weight. I tried what I called "The 1800" diet where I only ate things I could have gotten in the year 1800, which is produce and from the butcher. I could not get below 325 lbs and that was with walking miles a day everyday. Until I went straight carnivore and got to 1 meal a day and doing 3, 5, and 9 day water fasting I was at a plateau that I couldn't get over. Now I'm at 235, down from 387 and my body seems to be comfortable there even though I'm not. But I'm in a size 36 jeans, 34 depending on the manufacturer, down from a size 50. I'm in a size xl shirt down from a 5X shirt. In a size 13 shoe down from a size 15EEEE. I just can't eat plants, that's my physiology. If you can, I'm so jealous of you! Thank you Dr. J for your work
The big thing I have noticed is he does not leed you threw a bunch of BS only to sell you a book or gummies or videos! I Thank You So Much! 😊 I literally have tears welling up in my eyes, I finally feel Hope again something I have not had for a very long time !
Hi Dr. J. I'm a dietitian and an Ayurveda practitioner. I've been recommending fasting depending on body type for years. Love your videos. Ayurveda has recommended fasting, but being an RD in the USA, it was hard for me to tell Diabetics to fast. Now, I gently but firmly encourage fasting and see wonderful results. Thank you for what you do. 😀 I have been referring my patients to see your videos.
@Simple Gyan Thanks for the question. Ayurveda is very individualized. Would have to assess the patient and see how many hours they could potentially fast. Again, like Dr. J says, we have to check the insulin levels as well. Mine is an integrated approach. Modern medicine with Ayurveda.
I watch your videos over and over for the encouragement to keep abstaining from sugar carbs! Thank you so much for the information drs should be telling the world!
This man's knowledge is amazing! Thankfully, I am not a diabetic, but this man's information is very important to know regardless. Anyone can become diabetic at any time if the right, healthy diet isn't followed. Than you so much, doctor, for all this valuable inflammation.
Diagnosed pre-diabetes 2005, had 5 different endocrinologist s since, not 1 emphasized the necessity of diet and lifestyle change. I'm happy to run across logical thinkers like Dr.Jamnadas. Thank you Dr.
I will have to validate that what you hear and do based on these videos WORKS. I am off all my medications and no more diabetic. Besides loosing weight for the better and feeling more energetic it all makes sense. You just have to try and it will become the norm for you. Felt like sharing my journey. Thank you for these video.
Following your advice I have lost 1.5 stones in 10 weeks. My LDL and triglyceride levels have dropped by 2 points in that time and my HDL has remained strong. I feel terrific and have never felt hungry. Thank you.
Just adding a personal data point. I went from a1c 7.8 6 months ago, to 6.6 at 3 months, and 5.6 today, lost 40lbs, on Rybelsus. I haven't noticed any real side effects from the Rybelsus, and it doesn't feel like it has curbed my apetite. When I was a 7.8, that was directly after a 3 month period where I was drinking 3-4 sodas per day, plus sweets. Then I switched to sugar free sodas and mostly water. I haven't completely cut out sweets, in this last 3 month span where I went from 6.6 to 5.6, the first two months I actually still got a box of Crumbl cookie every week to try all of the weekly flavors. Then I stopped that a month ago. I've also recently started walking 2 miles a day, re-started my Factor food delivery plan (about half the meals I choose are keto, but I'm not trying to stick to keto).. mostly to control portions and get more nutrients... so the next a1c test in 3 months should be interesting.
Dr. J! I began IF a year ago thanks to you and Dr. Fung. Never had diabetes or health problems but was 20 pounds overweight. Lost them in 4 months. Love it. Thanks, again and keep those videos coming! My older relatives still think time restricted eating is unhealthy, but they're more likely to listen to an actual physician than other YT influencers.
At least they should do 10 /14 diet . In India our ayurveda doctors always tell us to do intermityant fasting though we don't use this word . They tell us to eat after 9.30 am n before 7.30 pm.
@@shashikantbote2198 i have recently moved my eating window to 10 am - 8 pm instead of from 2-10 pm. i was hesitant to change but studies show it's better to get your calories earlier in the day. ayurveda medicine has known this all along! thank you for suggesting it. i now prefer the 10/14 style. it also reset my circadian rhythms so now i sleep better from 11 pm until 6 or 7 am. solid 7 hrs or so. my relatives have gotten used to my low-carb & IF but they still have not tried it...
Thanks doctor, I used to do intermittent fasting for 4 years and lose kilos and I feel great, but in my jobs vacation I stopped it and started to eat and drink late at night, after that I feel hungry and heavy and bloated and I gain 3 kilos. Now I will start it again and I hope to be in my earlier situation, greetings from Greece!
Dr. P. Jamnadas motivated me to reverse dia etes by adopting intermittent fasting. With 6 hours of eating window, for eight months, HbA1C came down to 6 from 9.1. Weight also dropped by 18 Kg. For the last eight months, no variation in weight. No signs of any health related issues. Thanks to Dr PJ.
Thank you Dr. Jamnadas. You are doing God’s work. 🙏🏾❤️ I am convinced that it was God that sent my husband to you and he shared it with me. I’ve always been healthy and I started having some health problems out of nowhere and all of the information that you have on RUclips works and has helped me tremendously. I wish others could learn this information. I thought I knew so much about nutrition and I did not. 😊
Thank you Doc. You remind me of a doctor I once had in NYC. She was straight up and gave a list of things to stay away from. She cared just as you do. Be blessed.
I am a doc… I started advising my pt about diet and intermittent fasting … my pt r doing really well thank you for enlightening Gurudev …. I heart full and Baksti Poorvac Naman to u
This is all so true! I knew I was type II years ago, slight A1c elevations for years. Covid comes and I skipped annual check ups. Five weeks ago I had A1c of 10.1 and FBS of 327! My doc says take meds, of course I say no! Another provider recommended I watch this doc. In 5 weeks I cut carbs to 30g per day, fasted every day 18 hours if taking 2 meals, and 24 hour fasts weekly, one 48 hr fast. My average daily BS are now under 120. I eat as much as I need, great protein, healthy fats, no processed, tons of vegetables, but not starchy veggies. Lost 12 pounds already. Post prandials are always below 140. FBS still one teens. But I will take that! Saved my life.
I also watched your videos in December and cut out sugars and processed foods and lost weight too. I'm waiting to see what my follow up appointment labs will show from my H1c! I love this Doctor!!😊
Fantastic info again! #1:Diet change, #2: GET STRONGER- build muscle + cardio, #3: SLEEP, #4:stress reduction. But remember everyone, he tells us the best way to test for diabetes is NOT A1C or fasting glucose... It's Kraft postprandial insulin assay (GTIR test, or OGTT+ insulin test)
I'm 46 and never fasted long-term. I cut my eating off after dinner (5pm) then don't eat until after my workout about 6am. I have been exercising (weightlifting and cardio) for about 28 years, and also eat a pretty healthy diet with the occasional pizza, etc. I try to avoid processed oil, sugars, etc. My A1C yearly check is usually around 4.5.
Dr. i never take any tests at all 4last 10yrs now 76 today....is it ok ... i live n keep a close watch, instinctively n intuitively with nature🌱🥀🌿🌹🍃& yoga, ayurveda, n' care of my body mind spirit (balance) harmony . 🌷🌾💗🕊
MSM will never talk about what really causes heart disease; your metabolic health is what will dictate whether or not you will get heart disease. It's important to pay attention to Triglycerides, A1C and HDL. These are the markers for inflammation in your arteries. I will be transparent, I do eat bread and rice but definitely not in huge portions. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight for my height and my Triglycerides, HDL and A1C are healthy.
I wish I could force everyone to understand this. Ironically those with the insulin resistance problem put off watching when I share. So sad, but I am very glad the information is out there
Maybe don't preach to ppl. That never works and smart/influential ppl know this. many books written on it. Lead by example first. Then just share the info. I've helped heal members of my family with this approach. No amount of forcing will work.
You and Dr. Berge changed my life. Off sugar since almost 2 month, enjoying healthy food and fasting daily for at least 16h …my body shape changed, lost of lot of body fat, and I feel so energetic. `I am encouraging people around me to do it. I will do my blood analysis next week and hope to stop all medication., Thank you
I had the Whipple procedure 2 yrs ago (part of this procedure involved removing 30% of my pancreas) and now my A1c just started to go into the pre-diabetic range at 5.8 and was told by a new primary care physician to fast for 16 hours a day for 5 out of 7 days per week. Of course I wasn't familiar with why this would work but did it anyway. Well, after 1 and 1/2 months, had blood work done for my rheumatologist because I have RA and my sed rate (indicates how much inflammation you have in your body) was at 17 (normal range from 0-30). I get checked for sed rate at least 4 times a year and in the last 8 plus yrs, I was in the normal range only twice at a reading in the high 20's (I usually run from 34 up to 65). Boy was I amazed! Then while browsing the RUclips app came across one of Dr Jamnadas lectures on diet and fasting, and now it all makes sense! I am so incentivized now, to gradually change my eating habits to better my health.
Dr Jamnadas, I *love* your videos and I *love* what you are doing for people. I'm trying hard to follow your advice but I'm addicted to chocolate and sweet fruits. I'm looking to see if you have put together any recipes as I'm not sure how far we can go with cooking our 'whole foods'. 🤔 For example, I'd like to make mayonnaise out of olive and coconut oil instead of seed oil and I'd like to make oat pancakes and so would have to coarse grind the oats and I'd like to know if this would be acceptable or not. The other thing I massively love😍 about you is I have not *ever* seen you try to sell or endorse any 'products'... No dietary supplements, no commercial products, no 'systems' and no books! I have *massive, massive* *respect* for you and because of this I *genuinely* believe your motives are pure and you are out to do good and I trust you. ❣️ Keep doing this work please, Dr J, we really, really need good people like you in this world to combat the snake oil sellers, the venal food industry and the even more venal big pharma who have been profiting from our pain and misery for far too long. Sending lots of love from across the pond and I spread your message whenever I can. xxx
How about dark chocolate? I can't afford it but luckily I'm not into sweets. I eat a banana every day. Don't beat yourself up too much. Fruit is better than cupcakes, Snickers, cookies and ice cream.
Please try mayo made from Avocado oil. Also try dark chocolate 90%. Oats turn to sugar very fast in my experience. Try Sorghum (type of Millet). Lots of recipes online. Best of luck.
@@chuckleezodiac24 thank you for your suggestions. Lidl have a lot to answer for with their cheap chocolate 😜😉 Yes, I should graduate to plain choc, and I have tried, but I really don't like it (even though it is cheap at Lidl too lol). Fortunately, I haven't been eating other junk foods or sweets or biscuits for a good while though I have fallen off the wagon a bit with choc chip cookies lately. I don't take added sugar in drinks or drink anything other than water or occasionally carbonated water. I've never drunk anything Coke, Pepsi, cola or "diet" ever. I do eat a banana a day and a handful of blueberries in kefir or buttermilk to which I was adding less than a teaspoon of Xylitol per day but I am resisting the Xylitol mist days now. I do have some stevia occasionally or erythritol mixed with stevia. I fall down badly on stress and sleep deprivation and poor sleep. 😔
@@pmehta4452 thank you for your avocado oil suggestion. I used to make my own mayo with cold pressed organic sunflower oil and did try a fully olive oil version but I found that too bitter and with this new information from Dr J about cutting out seed oils, I am quite enthused to try avocado oil now. 😊 Through Professor Tim Spector and his involvement with the huge Zoe health study, I now realise that foods do metabolise differently for different people and that oats is one food that can be a friend or foe. 🙄 I have been eating Polish produced barley recently as another source of beta glucans and hoping that is good for me. Zoe are now offering an individually tailored nutrition programme which actually measures each person's blood sugar reactions to specific foods now and I really want to join but I hate needles so I'm holding back. 😢
@@sprogella Stress & lack of sleep is a double-whammy. Sounds like your diet is good. I chew Xylitol gum sometimes, supposed to be good for the teeth (Dr. Rhonda Patrick). Don't know if that would help with cravings. For me, I crave what I eat. Used to eat chips every day. Haven't had any in 6 months. Switched to nuts & seeds for snacking. Now I crave those every evening. I can go months without ice cream, then if I eat some, the next day I want some more. If you can kick the cookies for 10 days, the habit might be gone. Some people say eat salt when you crave sugar. Others say buy the yuckiest cookies you can find. That'll cure you! lol. Andrew Huberman says water, sunlight, caffeine and exercise early in the morning will help you sleep better. Don't give up! You'll have a breakthrough sooner than later.
I am addicted to sugar. Did clean keto for 6 weeks last year but was a horrible human for the whole 6 weeks. I went back to eating my way and of course I am a miserable human again. So I am starting your advice IF and diet plan and will remove ALL sugar and processed foods from my diet and see if I can completely get off the sugar. Your video about the cocaine brain and the sugar brain really hit home. Cried for 2 days knowing how true this is. Gotta save my life and my kids' lives. Any support and encouragement is welcome from anyone. I am scared and so stressed.
Hi there! I know it’s been a while since you posted this but I hope your diabetes has improved. You got this! It’s hard work. I’m creating a fat loss course for type 2 diabetics to help them reverse their diabetes. I’ve done a lot of research on this and there is a lot of important things to help. The root cause of type 2 diabetes is too much fat develops in the pancreas and liver. If you get enough fat out of the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas it can start to gradually function properly again. The same with the liver. It will be less insulin resistant. So fat loss is the most important thing when it comes to reversing your diabetes. Of course what you eat is hugely important too. Anyway I hope you’re doing good. In my program i work with people for 3 months while giving accountability and support. If you ever want to work with me let me know. If not if you ever have any questions feel free to ask away😊
Bonjour from Quebec city, Canada. A few words that I appreciate your channel and I benefit from your recommendations. Again, thank you so much. - Rosalind -
Diet is everything if you’re diabetic - I reduced my AIC from 8.1 to 5.9 over a 6 week period - this included IF 8 hour eating window, lower carb and reduced processed sugar and some movement - I also reduced my inflammatory level from 26.8 to 5.1 as well as improved cortisol and cholesterol. I lost 22 kilos in 5 months - another 20 kilos to lose. My skin is glowing and I have so much energy. God bless you doc
Your so right Dr. Low carb diet and 20/4 fasting is the key to lower A1c. 7.3 to 6.8 and have averaged 5.5 A1c this month. Also walking 2-3 miles a day.
Hats of to your sir !! I am following your intermittent fasting regimen for a while now along with that i also consume 1tsp twice of Madumehtak Churna and I notice a big positive change in my lifestyle and my hab1c reports are also normal for last 2 months

How long it took you to lower the numbers?
@@ulyanab.2706 It took me 6 weeks
@@ulyanab.2706 I have fallen back into ppre diabetes . My glucose never excedes the healthy window of after meal glucose . However , depending on what I eat it can take longer than the 3 hour window to get my glucose under 100 . I suspect I am close to full reversal because at times I can eat whatever I like including sweets and have a normal glucose response .
At last check up both my glucose level and my insulin level were at a normal level .
@@ulyanab.2706 I began intermittent fasting and not eating any processed foods or carbs for 4 weeks before I knew I would be having my A1C tested. I also dropped 15 pounds and though I had been hypertensive for years my blood pressure is now in a normal range.
This time last year I weighed 270 lbs. (5'9"). I went Keto and worked my way to one meal a day. I ate less than 20 carbs almost every day and did some 72-hour fasts about once a month. I now weigh 180 lbs and A1C went from 8.7 to 6.4. I quit metformin and glipizide about 5 months ago. I will get another A1C test in a few weeks and I am hoping to be in the 5.9 range. Diet is everything! Sugar is horrendous to one's health. Your advice was my reason for the great improvements. Thank you, Doctor!
Weight loss isn't the full picture of health though. Diet without strong muscle or high stress levels/ sleep deprivation = metabolically unfit.
Thin on Outside, Fat on Inside shortens the lifespan
Don’t be Afraid if you need some medication as for Metformin ER.
You do want your HBAIc to be below 5.7% then you are good.
How long were you on medication in the past, ie how long were you diabetic ?
How did you new A1C test go? I dropped my A1C from 13.2 in 6 months to 5.5. It can be done!
@@tombarrett7797
How?
100% I agree
My A1c went from 6.4 to 5 in less than 6 months doing Keto and IF. I lost 50 lbs and corrected about 42 health issues by my last count. I am almost 61 and could easily outperform myself at 25. My cardiologist said, "whatever you are doing, keep doing it."
Wow
Awesome 👏🏽
Uve given us a great hack to fool de gut by creating a mesh with fibre be it with isabgul phsyllium, or whole cooked food.. wow
That's great, are you doing strength training also? Diet alone doesn't lead to optimal health
honest cardiologist! :-))))
Doctor! Your videos changed my life. I lost 23 kg ( 51 lbs ) in 45 days. Down from 96 kg ( 212 lbs ) to a now 73 kg ( 161 lbs ). Just realizing i was addicted to eating. Just like you said. A new way of living has opened up for all of us who are benefiting from what you are so unselfishly sharing with us. Being grateful to you is an under statement. Countless heartfelt thanks to you from all of us who believe you as a leader of the pack.
Thanks a lot to God he used you Doctor, my HbA1C on December 2023 was 7.3 and after I saw your video about Intermittent Fasting, thanks God it went down into 5.2. I highly reccomend you to really stop eating when you are not hungry, and also abolish the old habbit of eating snacks in between meals. The best way is to fast for 16 hours everyday and assign an 8 hours eating window. For example, you skip breakfast and eat your lunch. Then eat dinner maximum at 8pm and then skip again your breakfast the next day and do it repeatedly.
1) Skip Breakfast
2) Lunch at 12:00 noon
3) Dinner at 6:00pm or 8:00pm maximum
Repeat it everyday and you can see the huge amount of your HbA1C reduction.
Doing this is just like you are fasting from 8:00pm until 12:00noon the next day (16 hours of fasting).
Believe me it works, thanks God for this Doctor.
1 went with this method from A1C 10 down to 7 in 9 months and still working and keeping daily 16 hour fasting.
I know I’m not the only one. I thank God for your generous heart❤
Dr J,
I am 71 and a diabetic since 30 years. I am following your intermittent fasting regimen. I notice a big positive change in my physiology. I am progressing and am sure I will become a non diabetic. 😊😊
Surely!
Don't forget how important it is to build muscle strength too! This restores insulin sensitivity and creates a larger glucose holding tank throughout the body the more armor you put on through resistance training! It also helps prevent other chronic disease. Don't be sleep deprived either!
Good for you! Persevere. You will do it.
Good luck. I’m doubtful you will.
That's truly inspiring! Your dedication and progress give hope to many. Keep up the great work!
Started intermittent fasting 7 weeks ago, already lost 24 pounds and feel much better. 5' 9" 65 years old man. It works!
How many hours you fasted ?
I was diagnosed with T2DM a year ago. Then I did my research fixed my diet and naturally started fasting. Now I'm doing low-carb + OMAD. I lost 70lbs in 9 months after 3months my A1C was 5.3 after 9 months it was 5.1. After the 6th month I stopped taking metformin. I'm so greatful for these educational videos on youtube.
That's great, insulin levels should be checked though as A1C is only 27% accurate in diagnosing diabetes.
Be sure to build muscle too, not just diet alone. Too many are under-muscled and get many chronic diseases from low muscle mass
@@Acts-1322how to get muscle mass, eating eggs, fish your mean?
how many carbs is "low carbs" ??
That's incredible progress! Your dedication and discipline are truly inspiring. Well done on your achievements!
Never diabetic, but lost 40 lbs following your dietary and fasting advice. Good stuff!!
That's great, Ivan. Now time to build up the muscle strength for a whole new world of physiological & organ benefits! Strength training EFFECTIVELY improves 26 chronic diseases, and better yet another study showed a lack of exercise can lead to 35 chronic diseases 😮
@@Acts-1322 I exercise18-24 hours/week and always have.
I water fasted from 12/30/22-1/25/23 I lost 31lbs. My a1c was 8.4 now I am 5.6 I am not on medication anymore. I wish all doctor's were like you who fixes and heals illnesses not look at each person as $$$. My body doesn't accept sweets anymore. Tastes nasty. My glucose prior to eating varies from 80 to 100 depending what time. My glucose after eating is about highest at 138. Then drops to about 110 within 2 hrs then drops below 100. I am so happy. I was never a snacker but liked bubble tea. Now I eat healthier with no rice. I am Asian which was hard to quit on rice. I also eat 1 meal a day and do not over eat. I want to lower my a1c a bit more. Please don't give up everyone. I don't recommend but I did without a doctor bc I dont trust my endocrinologist. I stopped metformin also bc I trust my body. It really does know what it is doing. My lowest was 55 but very shortly went right back up to 90. I did not have any symptoms of hypoglycemia. I have the sensor that continuously reads my glucose which was very helpful.
Did you take your medication while water fasting?
@Darrell Williams nope I quit all my meds the day I started fasting. I did it extreme bc I know our body will take care of it. I started eating and I only eat once a day. I am eating good fats and barely any carbs. I eat avocado and eggs daily. Not too much meat. seafood yes but I haven't started red or white meat yet. I also was on allergy med every 24hr. I had something called dermatographism... something I don't wish on anyone. I am not taking any allergy pill daily. Haven't do far. I used to itch and burn like a rabid dog... no longer. Fasting is a cure for almost everything. I hope you and everyone give it a chance. Many doctors oppose to it and that is why I did it alone. Not recommended if you are on insulin etc without supervision.🤞
@@katk78
Well done I feel the same your body is designed to fix itself if it gets a chance.
I just watched a programme called operation transformation.
Its 6 orv7 people put on diet and excercise.
The poor folks are expected to follow the same old eating plans.
Low fat low taste pasta and flour and all things white. The amount of bread scones one person had on the work top was scary.
Even the partners screw up their faces at the tasteless grub.
Then they are expected to exhaust themselves running and exercising while they are hauling massive amounts of body weight. The contestants cry and awful to watch these shows. It's like the biggest loser. No one is ever brought back to show the weight stayed off.
I am a fan of Dr J and if he says fasting helps health and Jason Fung and countless others well that's much easier for me than counting calories.
Good luck with omad
@Karen O' Hanlon thank you so much. Your words are encouraging. Yes, I am also a fan of Dr. Fung. I first started fasting bc of Dr. Joel Fuhrman.

I started listening to you last December. With what I learned from you and from the other doctors in You Tube like Dr. Fung, Dr. Lustig and Dr. Bikman, I became more determined to continue with eating 2× and sometimes once a day. From you, I learned to incorporate fats in my diet and as I lost weight, I did not lose the suppleness of my skin. I cannot thank you enough Dr. J.
I am an Asian and being one, rice is a staple food that I'd been eating since I was born. I'd been able to stop eating rice since the last weekof December. It was not difficult since my motivation is to reverse my being pre-diabetic. Keto diet is expensive so I cannot do it. I eat plainly boiled vegetables with egg or fish or meat or chicken.

hello eden. were you off your bp meds?
64yo male. Was diagnosed with T2 in 2015. The symptoms were getting worse, so my medications were increased. But no matter what I did, the 'dawn' readings were over 11%. So - I started on TRE about 2 months ago. Dropped all ultra processed food, limit processed food. Now drinking lemon water, made from actual lemons, in the morning. No more diet soda. Now - my dawn readings are around 6%. HBA1C is now around 6.5%. I will need to adjust my meds as I have had one or two hypo-glycemic 'episodes'. Thank you Dr. Jamnadas. My weight is finally tracking downwards and I have - energy!
Update - Now 14.5 Kgs total loss, 14cms down around the waist. Morning glucose down from around 180 to 120 (on average) - still a way to go yet. Strange thing is - does not feel like a diet (which it is not). More energy, feeling great. I will need to adjust my meds down in about 6 weeks.
Dear Pradeep Sir, I have been diagnosed with Hb1ac 6.1 .. I saw Dr Jason & your videos on IF. I am starting IF from today. I hope I will be fit again. Thank you to the doctors like you for spreading hope amongst so many people 🙏
Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, you're the best. Following your concepts on diet, I've lost 16 kgs ( from 85 kgs to 69 kgs ) in a period of 4 months. No to Sugar, No to Processed Foods & Yes to Whole Foods along with 15-16 hrs of intermittent fasting daily helped me achieve this. I believe you can eradicate DIABETES or so called HYPERINSULINAEMIA or INSULIN RESISTANCE out of this globe with the knowledge that you're sharing at no cost to your followers.
I am prediabetic at 63 and changed my diet completely be testing my blood sugar after eating everything for 2 weeks. I found what raised my glucose level because I kept detailed records. I eliminated the foods that bothered me and the Dr. Is right about cutting down sugars and walking after most meals. immediately after eating. This Dr. Is 100 %right! I
Thanks, Doc. After major depression got me overweight in the last couple of years, I just got a lab result of😢 6.3 A1C! This video helped me not get too stressed but focus on my diet! Thanks again!
Got sick and tired of being sick and tired....I decided to stop all process foods and started to eat whole foods and guess what...totally reversed my health situation. I feel tons better. Its amazing how many processed foods was actually killing me and yet tasted soo good. I woke up and hope other people will as-well.
I’ve listened to every video you’ve made plus the many interviews conducted with other RUclipsrs. I became a patient of yours because of your passion and your desire to really help people. Thank you for teaching us how to live healthier lives.
Hi Carolyn. You said you became a patient of his. How did you go about this? Thanks
Great video. People seem to be confused about sugar. I meet people who think fruit is bad because it contains sugar. It’s a whole food though with fiber. 🙂 Whole food plant based is the only food with fiber. Zero fiber in animal products and almost none is processed. Whole food plant based for over 10 years and loving it!
I am great fan of you Sir, so much wisdom that actually helps people. Thank you for your services.
I've been taking neutralized vinegar for insulin sensitivity, but by far the best thing you can do for it is a little extended fasting! 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.
Fasting increases nitric oxide.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system.
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!
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. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
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.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system.
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.
Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
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.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
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.

This list compiled over years of research by the user known as Pottenger's Human on youtube but feel free to copy and paste this anywhere you like, no accreditation needed!
My channel which will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Thank you!! Fasting is our fix to many problems.
Outstanding -
may your benevolence be rewarded 1000-fold!
Pure excellence where we do not have a health care system, but rather a disease control system.
In my opinion, it's more of a disease creation system. Big pharma makes us sick!
Any new or struggling type 2 diabetics need to watch this again, again, again and again!!!!!
In May of ' 21 I was 250 lbs with an A1C of over 12...put on Metformin and Atorvastatin. Right now I'm in the low 170's with A1C sitting at 5.1 and off all meds.
2 whole food meals a day (very low carb, ZERO added sugar), no snacking, 16:8 fasting.
It will change your life, folks.
Let me add...triglycerides when diagnosed was over 180 and blood pressure 145 ish over 100 ish most of time. Last week blood work showed triglycerides at 52 and my BP was 113/72.
All this due to the aforementioned and just walking 20 mins a day and not laying around.
Same here :) These videos are life changers. I just see how my mom is struggling with her T2MD, how the standard recommendations /like: you must eat 5 times a day/ are not working, but making the disease worse.
great job! how low were your carbs? did you have veg?
Didn't really count...never have.
I eat twice a day until I'm full with no snacking in between. I eat nothing between 7 pm and 11 am. I'll drink water, black coffee and unsweetened tea.
Anything in the green vegetable family I will eat. Green beans, asparagus, bell peppers, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. I add cheese sometimes for flavor and satiety.
If I had to guess...I'd say 20 to 30 grams of carbs a day and sometimes less.
I just stay away from junk and live fine now.
Hi, i am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. I am just curious, when did you stop taking meds? I really want to stick to this kind of lifestyle change - 2 full meals, no snacking and fasting. I really don't want to be on meds.
I think that depends on the severity of your T2D and will also come down to your will power/dedication.
My T2D was a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 so it took me roughly 13 months and I think I could have been taken off 2 or 3 months earlier. The timing was based on when my blood work was done.
Keep doing what you are doing with NO CHEATING. When you are trying to heal your body you don't deserve a treat contrary to what some people may tell you.
T2D 98% of the time is the person's own fault because all we do is have too many "treats" that causes the disease in the 1st place.
Remember...when you achieve your goal and get off meds and control your T2D with only food and being active, maintain what got you there. Your diabetes at that point is in remission and will come back in a New York minute if you let it.
Dr jamanadas, you are a true human being. You are saving us all. Continue your good work. I have lost 21 lb in 4 months with intermittent fasting. I have so much energy. My brain has woken up, and the brain fog has gone. I look younger! Again, thank you
Bless you for speaking about this terrible epidemic. So much unnecessary suffering because of diabetes.
Thanks Doc. I'm a diabetic and you spoke what drives home a lot of sense. Unfortunately many of us diabetics also suffer from unwillingness to make lifestyle changes.
Yep, Choices, to live or die. Seems your mind is telling you to live, as you watched this video! that's a positive!. No offense meant, to you, just hope you keep researching and do what's best for you. Best of luck.
I like Dr. J. The only thing is, if I eat plant material I gain weight. I tried what I called "The 1800" diet where I only ate things I could have gotten in the year 1800, which is produce and from the butcher. I could not get below 325 lbs and that was with walking miles a day everyday.
Until I went straight carnivore and got to 1 meal a day and doing 3, 5, and 9 day water fasting I was at a plateau that I couldn't get over.
Now I'm at 235, down from 387 and my body seems to be comfortable there even though I'm not. But I'm in a size 36 jeans, 34 depending on the manufacturer, down from a size 50. I'm in a size xl shirt down from a 5X shirt. In a size 13 shoe down from a size 15EEEE.
I just can't eat plants, that's my physiology. If you can, I'm so jealous of you!
Thank you Dr. J for your work
The big thing I have noticed is he does not leed you threw a bunch of BS only to sell you a book or gummies or videos! I Thank You So Much! 😊 I literally have tears welling up in my eyes, I finally feel Hope again something I have not had for a very long time !
Hi Dr. J. I'm a dietitian and an Ayurveda practitioner. I've been recommending fasting depending on body type for years. Love your videos. Ayurveda has recommended fasting, but being an RD in the USA, it was hard for me to tell Diabetics to fast. Now, I gently but firmly encourage fasting and see wonderful results. Thank you for what you do. 😀
I have been referring my patients to see your videos.
Hi Shilpa,,,, because of fasting diabetic don't face hypoglycemia???
@Simple Gyan Thanks for the question. Ayurveda is very individualized. Would have to assess the patient and see how many hours they could potentially fast. Again, like Dr. J says, we have to check the insulin levels as well. Mine is an integrated approach. Modern medicine with Ayurveda.
Fasting doesn’t work
I truly admire your dedication to promoting fasting and the positive impact it has on people's health. Well done!
Yes, Ayurveda recommends “ LANGHAN” which is IF. 🙏
Followed your videos last year, Doc...changed A1C from 7 to 5.5. Thank you...I'm still working on my Type 2 reversal
@gretelmanoo3157 hi, what is the status now? is it reversed or just under control?
How to reverse
Dr Pradip has the kindest eyes, and I could listen to him all day... Thank You so much Dr P
I watch your videos over and over for the encouragement to keep abstaining from sugar carbs! Thank you so much for the information drs should be telling the world!
This man's knowledge is amazing! Thankfully, I am not a diabetic, but this man's information is very important to know regardless. Anyone can become diabetic at any time if the right, healthy diet isn't followed. Than you so much, doctor, for all this valuable inflammation.
Diagnosed pre-diabetes 2005, had 5 different endocrinologist s since, not 1 emphasized the necessity of diet and lifestyle change. I'm happy to run across logical thinkers like Dr.Jamnadas. Thank you Dr.
At the minimum Dr. J should be the surgeon general of the US.
I lost 35kgs after u r videos 113 to 78 kgs its really valuable videos for healthy lifestyle
Thank you Dr. Pradip
Dr. Jamnadas, PLEASE do another 2 hour lecture on fasting!! We want more!
You're a fabulous doctor! So genuine, sincere and has an amazing knowledge of what you do!! Wish more doctors are like you!
I will have to validate that what you hear and do based on these videos WORKS. I am off all my medications and no more diabetic. Besides loosing weight for the better and feeling more energetic it all makes sense. You just have to try and it will become the norm for you. Felt like sharing my journey. Thank you for these video.
Following your advice I have lost 1.5 stones in 10 weeks. My LDL and triglyceride levels have dropped by 2 points in that time and my HDL has remained strong. I feel terrific and have never felt hungry. Thank you.
What is your routine. Please explain 🙏🙏 please
Just adding a personal data point. I went from a1c 7.8 6 months ago, to 6.6 at 3 months, and 5.6 today, lost 40lbs, on Rybelsus.
I haven't noticed any real side effects from the Rybelsus, and it doesn't feel like it has curbed my apetite.
When I was a 7.8, that was directly after a 3 month period where I was drinking 3-4 sodas per day, plus sweets. Then I switched to sugar free sodas and mostly water. I haven't completely cut out sweets, in this last 3 month span where I went from 6.6 to 5.6, the first two months I actually still got a box of Crumbl cookie every week to try all of the weekly flavors. Then I stopped that a month ago.
I've also recently started walking 2 miles a day, re-started my Factor food delivery plan (about half the meals I choose are keto, but I'm not trying to stick to keto).. mostly to control portions and get more nutrients... so the next a1c test in 3 months should be interesting.
I instantly gotten great energy from this doctor. His spirit is pure . I would love to visit him .
Dr. J! I began IF a year ago thanks to you and Dr. Fung. Never had diabetes or health problems but was 20 pounds overweight. Lost them in 4 months. Love it. Thanks, again and keep those videos coming! My older relatives still think time restricted eating is unhealthy, but they're more likely to listen to an actual physician than other YT influencers.
Let them live medicine life..
You mean Medi-SIN.
Ha Ha Ha…
At least they should do 10 /14 diet .
In India our ayurveda doctors always tell us to do intermityant fasting though we don't use this word .
They tell us to eat after 9.30 am n before 7.30 pm.
@@shashikantbote2198 i have recently moved my eating window to 10 am - 8 pm instead of from 2-10 pm. i was hesitant to change but studies show it's better to get your calories earlier in the day. ayurveda medicine has known this all along! thank you for suggesting it. i now prefer the 10/14 style.
it also reset my circadian rhythms so now i sleep better from 11 pm until 6 or 7 am. solid 7 hrs or so.
my relatives have gotten used to my low-carb & IF but they still have not tried it...
Thanks doctor, I used to do intermittent fasting for 4 years and lose kilos and I feel great, but in my jobs vacation I stopped it and started to eat and drink late at night, after that I feel hungry and heavy and bloated and I gain 3 kilos. Now I will start it again and I hope to be in my earlier situation, greetings from Greece!
Dr. P. Jamnadas motivated me to reverse dia etes by adopting intermittent fasting. With 6 hours of eating window, for eight months, HbA1C came down to 6 from 9.1. Weight also dropped by 18 Kg. For the last eight months, no variation in weight. No signs of any health related issues. Thanks to Dr PJ.
Thank you Dr. Jamnadas. You are doing God’s work. 🙏🏾❤️ I am convinced that it was God that sent my husband to you and he shared it with me. I’ve always been healthy and I started having some health problems out of nowhere and all of the information that you have on RUclips works and has helped me tremendously. I wish others could learn this information. I thought I knew so much about nutrition and I did not. 😊
this is my favorite Doctor--He is the best --fasting because of his videos. Brilliant!
Thank you Doc. You remind me of a doctor I once had in NYC. She was straight up and gave a list of things to stay away from. She cared just as you do. Be blessed.
Thank you Dr Pradip for caring! You’re a gem! And your advice is easy to follow. God has clearly sent you to me.
I am a doc… I started advising my pt about diet and intermittent fasting … my pt r doing really well thank you for enlightening Gurudev …. I heart full and Baksti Poorvac Naman to u
This is all so true! I knew I was type II years ago, slight A1c elevations for years. Covid comes and I skipped annual check ups. Five weeks ago I had A1c of 10.1 and FBS of 327! My doc says take meds, of course I say no! Another provider recommended I watch this doc. In 5 weeks I cut carbs to 30g per day, fasted every day 18 hours if taking 2 meals, and 24 hour fasts weekly, one 48 hr fast. My average daily BS are now under 120. I eat as much as I need, great protein, healthy fats, no processed, tons of vegetables, but not starchy veggies. Lost 12 pounds already. Post prandials are always below 140. FBS still one teens. But I will take that! Saved my life.
I also watched your videos in December and cut out sugars and processed foods and lost weight too. I'm waiting to see what my follow up appointment labs will show from my H1c! I love this Doctor!!😊
Fantastic info again! #1:Diet change, #2: GET STRONGER- build muscle + cardio, #3: SLEEP, #4:stress reduction. But remember everyone, he tells us the best way to test for diabetes is NOT A1C or fasting glucose... It's Kraft postprandial insulin assay (GTIR test, or OGTT+ insulin test)
I am 70 years old and a stage 2 diabetic. I'm also heavy but I am working on that. I've found your video series to be interesting. Thank you sis.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us
Thank you very much dear Dr. for sharing your great work and research.
Dr. Pradip thank you again, for changing and saving lives.
May God bless this mans wealth of wisdom 🙏♥️🙏
I'm 46 and never fasted long-term. I cut my eating off after dinner (5pm) then don't eat until after my workout about 6am. I have been exercising (weightlifting and cardio) for about 28 years, and also eat a pretty healthy diet with the occasional pizza, etc. I try to avoid processed oil, sugars, etc. My A1C yearly check is usually around 4.5.
Dr. Always insist on dangers in avoiding super refined ultra processed carbz, grains, oils & white sugar. .
Dr. dear...🙏How about mustard oil, Sesame oil, wood pressed EVirgin coconut oil, kala jeera oil flax seed oil plz 👌🙇🏻♀️❣️
Dr. i never take any tests at all 4last 10yrs now 76 today....is it ok ... i live n keep a close watch, instinctively n intuitively with nature🌱🥀🌿🌹🍃& yoga, ayurveda, n' care of my body mind spirit (balance) harmony . 🌷🌾💗🕊
Eating infrequently is de secret 💐🌿🙏☘️🌈
I am parshant from India. Thank you doctor fasting changed my life. You are amazing 👍👍👍👍
MSM will never talk about what really causes heart disease; your metabolic health is what will dictate whether or not you will get heart disease. It's important to pay attention to Triglycerides, A1C and HDL. These are the markers for inflammation in your arteries. I will be transparent, I do eat bread and rice but definitely not in huge portions. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight for my height and my Triglycerides, HDL and A1C are healthy.
I wish I could force everyone to understand this. Ironically those with the insulin resistance problem put off watching when I share. So sad, but I am very glad the information is out there
Maybe don't preach to ppl. That never works and smart/influential ppl know this. many books written on it. Lead by example first. Then just share the info. I've helped heal members of my family with this approach. No amount of forcing will work.
You and Dr. Berge changed my life. Off sugar since almost 2 month, enjoying healthy food and fasting daily for at least 16h …my body shape changed, lost of lot of body fat, and I feel so energetic. `I am encouraging people around me to do it. I will do my blood analysis next week and hope to stop all medication., Thank you
Pradip, you´re our hero!
Thanks Dr. Pramnadas I am reversing prediabetes thanks in part to your lectures online.
Love this doctor, wish he would go on tour.
This guy
This Dr is a genuine Dr. speaks the truth and don't camaflouge things. well done Dr. Love your videos.
You are truly GODS INSTRUMENT! I am not hearing you… I AM LISTENING!! I got to change!! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you, Doctor!
Love your wealth of knowledge. You and Dr. Fuhrman are spot on with the approach of nutrition as the real medicine. Thanks
I had the Whipple procedure 2 yrs ago (part of this procedure involved removing 30% of my pancreas) and now my A1c just started to go into the pre-diabetic range at 5.8 and was told by a new primary care physician to fast for 16 hours a day for 5 out of 7 days per week. Of course I wasn't familiar with why this would work but did it anyway. Well, after 1 and 1/2 months, had blood work done for my rheumatologist because I have RA and my sed rate (indicates how much inflammation you have in your body) was at 17 (normal range from 0-30). I get checked for sed rate at least 4 times a year and in the last 8 plus yrs, I was in the normal range only twice at a reading in the high 20's (I usually run from 34 up to 65). Boy was I amazed! Then while browsing the RUclips app came across one of Dr Jamnadas lectures on diet and fasting, and now it all makes sense! I am so incentivized now, to gradually change my eating habits to better my health.
You had Whipple procedure for what?
@@SJ-wu9gx Duodenal Tumor that also just started to invade the pancreas.
Thank you Dr. Jamnadas for exposing these truths!
Ur r the best I have seen soo far regarding diabetes
PLEASE KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!!
Dr Jamnadas, I *love* your videos and I *love* what you are doing for people. I'm trying hard to follow your advice but I'm addicted to chocolate and sweet fruits. I'm looking to see if you have put together any recipes as I'm not sure how far we can go with cooking our 'whole foods'. 🤔 For example, I'd like to make mayonnaise out of olive and coconut oil instead of seed oil and I'd like to make oat pancakes and so would have to coarse grind the oats and I'd like to know if this would be acceptable or not.
The other thing I massively love😍 about you is I have not *ever* seen you try to sell or endorse any 'products'... No dietary supplements, no commercial products, no 'systems' and no books! I have *massive, massive* *respect* for you and because of this I *genuinely* believe your motives are pure and you are out to do good and I trust you. ❣️ Keep doing this work please, Dr J, we really, really need good people like you in this world to combat the snake oil sellers, the venal food industry and the even more venal big pharma who have been profiting from our pain and misery for far too long. Sending lots of love from across the pond and I spread your message whenever I can. xxx
How about dark chocolate? I can't afford it but luckily I'm not into sweets. I eat a banana every day. Don't beat yourself up too much. Fruit is better than cupcakes, Snickers, cookies and ice cream.
Please try mayo made from Avocado oil. Also try dark chocolate 90%. Oats turn to sugar very fast in my experience. Try Sorghum (type of Millet). Lots of recipes online. Best of luck.
@@chuckleezodiac24 thank you for your suggestions. Lidl have a lot to answer for with their cheap chocolate 😜😉 Yes, I should graduate to plain choc, and I have tried, but I really don't like it (even though it is cheap at Lidl too lol). Fortunately, I haven't been eating other junk foods or sweets or biscuits for a good while though I have fallen off the wagon a bit with choc chip cookies lately. I don't take added sugar in drinks or drink anything other than water or occasionally carbonated water. I've never drunk anything Coke, Pepsi, cola or "diet" ever. I do eat a banana a day and a handful of blueberries in kefir or buttermilk to which I was adding less than a teaspoon of Xylitol per day but I am resisting the Xylitol mist days now. I do have some stevia occasionally or erythritol mixed with stevia.
I fall down badly on stress and sleep deprivation and poor sleep. 😔
@@pmehta4452 thank you for your avocado oil suggestion. I used to make my own mayo with cold pressed organic sunflower oil and did try a fully olive oil version but I found that too bitter and with this new information from Dr J about cutting out seed oils, I am quite enthused to try avocado oil now. 😊
Through Professor Tim Spector and his involvement with the huge Zoe health study, I now realise that foods do metabolise differently for different people and that oats is one food that can be a friend or foe. 🙄 I have been eating Polish produced barley recently as another source of beta glucans and hoping that is good for me. Zoe are now offering an individually tailored nutrition programme which actually measures each person's blood sugar reactions to specific foods now and I really want to join but I hate needles so I'm holding back. 😢
@@sprogella Stress & lack of sleep is a double-whammy. Sounds like your diet is good. I chew Xylitol gum sometimes, supposed to be good for the teeth (Dr. Rhonda Patrick). Don't know if that would help with cravings.
For me, I crave what I eat. Used to eat chips every day. Haven't had any in 6 months. Switched to nuts & seeds for snacking. Now I crave those every evening. I can go months without ice cream, then if I eat some, the next day I want some more. If you can kick the cookies for 10 days, the habit might be gone.
Some people say eat salt when you crave sugar. Others say buy the yuckiest cookies you can find. That'll cure you! lol. Andrew Huberman says water, sunlight, caffeine and exercise early in the morning will help you sleep better. Don't give up! You'll have a breakthrough sooner than later.
I am addicted to sugar. Did clean keto for 6 weeks last year but was a horrible human for the whole 6 weeks. I went back to eating my way and of course I am a miserable human again. So I am starting your advice IF and diet plan and will remove ALL sugar and processed foods from my diet and see if I can completely get off the sugar. Your video about the cocaine brain and the sugar brain really hit home. Cried for 2 days knowing how true this is. Gotta save my life and my kids' lives. Any support and encouragement is welcome from anyone. I am scared and so stressed.
Hi there! I know it’s been a while since you posted this but I hope your diabetes has improved. You got this! It’s hard work. I’m creating a fat loss course for type 2 diabetics to help them reverse their diabetes. I’ve done a lot of research on this and there is a lot of important things to help. The root cause of type 2 diabetes is too much fat develops in the pancreas and liver. If you get enough fat out of the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas it can start to gradually function properly again. The same with the liver. It will be less insulin resistant. So fat loss is the most important thing when it comes to reversing your diabetes. Of course what you eat is hugely important too. Anyway I hope you’re doing good. In my program i work with people for 3 months while giving accountability and support. If you ever want to work with me let me know. If not if you ever have any questions feel free to ask away😊
Bonjour from Quebec city, Canada. A few words that I appreciate your channel and I benefit from your recommendations. Again, thank you so much. - Rosalind -
Hi how are you ؟Can you explain what is a good diet to reverse diabetes and is it completely forbidden to bake or rice
Diet is everything if you’re diabetic - I reduced my AIC from 8.1 to 5.9 over a 6 week period - this included IF 8 hour eating window, lower carb and reduced processed sugar and some movement - I also reduced my inflammatory level from 26.8 to 5.1 as well as improved cortisol and cholesterol. I lost 22 kilos in 5 months - another 20 kilos to lose. My skin is glowing and I have so much energy. God bless you doc

Your so right Dr. Low carb diet and 20/4 fasting is the key to lower A1c. 7.3 to 6.8 and have averaged 5.5 A1c this month. Also walking 2-3 miles a day.
Thank you Doctor!
Hats of to your sir !! I am following your intermittent fasting regimen for a while now along with that i also consume 1tsp twice of Madumehtak Churna and I notice a big positive change in my lifestyle and my hab1c reports are also normal for last 2 months
I love this man!
