FYI. Elijah Muhammad from Nation of Islam and the NOI are the founders of intermittent fasting. The NOI has been practicing, and recomending intermittent fasting since the 1930s. Elijah Muhammad published an entire book about intermittent fasting in 1967 called "Eat To Live". NOI members to this day eat 1 meal per day or 1 meal every other day.
I started fasting in 2016. Dr said she wishes all patients had labs that look like mine. I’m 55 and I’m just as fit and in shape as I was in my 20s. Menopause did not cause weight gain. Went on 14 trip to Europe including a cruise. Ate like a queen. Did NOT gain 1 lb! Metabolism is great!
Been doing IF for 18 months and down from 353 to 229.6 as of this morning. Still have a way to go but it’s the easiest and most successful weight loss attempt of my life.
After break up with my ex-girlfriend I lost 60lbs for 7months. Process was slow but consistent, nothing comes overnight. I started with hydratation, 5k steps per day and meal plan from Onlymeal. Than I started with workouts at the gym 3 times per week.
I am a retired physician with a very difficult autoimmune disease. My immune system is attacking nerve cells through out the body(thankfully not the central nervous system ). Thanks to Dr. Fung and other experts I started fasting 12 hours a day. Also, very importantly, no eating for 3 hours before bedtime. Then I extended the fast by 30 minutes per week…NOT difficult. Now I fast 14 to 16 hours a day which is not difficult at all. I have lost 25 pounds and my disease is stable, not progressing, so thank you, Dr. Fung!
I do about 16 hours of intermittent fasting myself for better keeping my weight after menopause (BMI 22,5, never been overweight). It is working but a bigger game changer was avoiding industrial sugar (besides an occasional piece of cake on the weekends😊). Since then I have much less pain in my joints and muscles (no diagnoses). Sugar = inflammation.
Have you Heard of reseting your immune sistem WITH Very high doses vitamin D?? Try out Very, Very high doses thyamine...do your research@@gordoncaldwell5597
It's not arrogant. Dr. Jason Fung, your work has impacted and helped many many millions of people to reverse type 2 diabetes. You have changed the world!
The concept in simple. Activate the emergency adrenal glands to quite literally pump you with “steroids”. IF isn’t a sustainable thing long term but rather a diet. Once you use up your “steroids” they take time to replenish.

Fasting does work. I lost 130lbs fasting 20years ago. Fast forward (marriage and kids), I gained it all back plus some. So a year ago I started fasting 24 to 48 hours, typically I eat one meal 3-4 times a week. I’ve lost over 100lbs and I feel amazing. I’m now smaller than I was when I met my husband (and he’s back to his original size as well). We both have never been happier. Fasting cleanses your body and soul. Good luck everyone.
How do you manage to fast for long periods of time I get nervous if I don't eat twice a day I have done a bit of fasting by eating breakfast at 12 pm my biggest accomplishment lol lol
once I learned how capable and resilient the human body is based on how our ancestors were able to survive long periods of time without food that was enough motivation to go a day or two without food on occasion. The human body is very similar to a bear. We can survive off our fat stores just like them. Our minds play tricks on us making us believe we are weak but in reality we were built to survive the most extreme conditions.
I am on another re-start plan to lengthen my fasting time and shorten my feeding time. IF has helped me drop weight and feel amazing in the past but I ruined it and went back to some bad habits. That started with just the tiniest taste of sugar. I'm on day 2 of no sugar and at least 18 hours of fasting. ❤ I want this back! More energy, less brain fog and inflammation, reduced depression and getting back into my regular clothes again!❤
@@lindahersco7638 I'm at day 8 of a possible 30 day fast. Just a dab of salt in the water for minerals and you can do it. The first few days can be hell with some getting headaches but fight through and your body goes into a state called autophagy breaking down damaged cells and building new ones. Start small with a 1 day then 3 day fast the next then go longer if you want.
Can I say that this man saved my life? I was over weight all my life, last year I randomly saw his videos and started fasting I lost 40kg, I am more healthy, light, now I can move with no pain, I look younger and the most important thing is that I don't feel hungry all the time anymore Thank Dr. Fung 🙏🏽
I always thought I was weird because it’s easier for me to NOT eat then to eat light all day.. once I eat the first meal I’m hungry all damn day. The biggest myth in the world is “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”
@@Itsxmusic Same thing happened to me, when I used to eat in the morning I got be hungry all the day until I sleep I wish some1 told me before that the problem wasn't my will power but the time and the quality of food I was eating I thought I was a fat child, fat teen, fat adult and I will die fat... and the problem is in me 💔 I did try all kind of diets and failed... until I saw Dr. FUNG's video, I thought well I have nothing to lose anyway the worst thing that can happen is that I will stay fat or gain back the weight again in no time
My husband does IF and OMAD. It has been an absolute miracle what it has done to his body and skin. My husband is retired military and had horrible chemical burns on his arms and body as well as a gunshot wound to the abdomen. All of his burns and gunshot wound are completely healed. He literally has zero scars left. This has been from almost 10 yrs of doing IF and OMAD. He started this journey because he was getting the munchies at night from taking ambien to help him sleep. He had me make sure to not let him eat at night and he was always so busy at work that he ended up only eating OMAD.He lost the weight and his skin started to heal. IF is literally a miracle for skin rejuvenation the natural way. He is 50 and looks amazing for his age.
I'm 65y, F. I eat OMAD. Began keto 3 years ago. Was 240lbs, now 150. A1c was 8.3, now 5.2 Once you become fat adapted, you'll lose hunger and discover what your body actually needs.
I took Abain for 18 years ! On and off ! Off it for 3 weeks when cold turkey !! Haven’t sleep the best but not eating at night ! And feel better just starting fasting !!! Doing Better!!
@@nickijaycox7773OMAD can be tricky bc you still need to cram 1200+ cals into a single meal and your goal is to not spike your insulin the rest of the day with drinks. The easiest way to do OMAD is to try it once a week. Allow yourself time to research healthy/calorie sufficient OMAD meals, then do it twice a week. There’s no one meal plant that fits all nutrition/weight goals and you may not even need to do OMAD to reach your goals. 2 meals a day in a 6 hour (18 fasting hours) window is extremely powerful if you’re not at that level yet. Best of luck!!
@@nickijaycox7773When you fast long enough and start using ketones for fuel, the body will convert stored fat into the energy you need. As long as you aren’t underweight the body will compensate for the difference between calorie intake and what your body needs. If you avoid carbs then you go back to using ketones faster and you will have stable energy all day.
The best part of fasting for me is that I don't have to concern myself with what to eat for that portion of the day. What a relief not to have to think about it!
Since I don't eat breakfast, I eat hard boiled eggs at night for a snack after dinner. Eggs are good for you, but you don't have to have them for breakfast.
I’m 6 weeks into intermittent fasting… I’ve lost 21 pounds so far, it’s much easier than I expected… 29 more pounds to go…. I cut the beer, bread 🥖 and pasta… first meal at 10am second meal at 4 pm… lean meats, fresh veggies and fruit 🍎… no junk food… and the weight is falling off 😃👍
I fast as well and eat mostly whole foods and no more refined sugar. Down three jeans sizes since February. Not a diet a lifestyle. Real food tastes great.
How do you know it's the IF causing the weight loss and not the drastic change in food quality? Are you eating the same number of calories between those two meals as you were prior to starting this? If not, how can the weight loss be attributed to IF and not to calorie deficit and less refined sugars? Plenty of bodybuilders will tell you they lose weight with a calorie deficit and healthier calories. Congratulations to you,. That's awesome. I'm just trying to figure out how I can lose 30 pounds with being such a picky eater. I'm hesitant to try IF because I'm super active and have a history of blood sugar drops causing dizziness and fatigue even though I'm not diabetic; been tested numerous times.
@@ThaStonedGardner well I haven’t changed what I eat, I was already eating a healthy diet… but I did cut out the constant grazing… and cut out beer, pasta and bread… much of what I’ve lost so far could be water weight, but so what… eventually I’ll start burning fat, and that’s where the IF comes in… you should start slow, adjust your six hour window to accommodate your lifestyle… and after two or three days it gets much easier, just like anything… I didn’t realize I was opening the fridge and staring in, for no reason, IF helps me discipline my eating habits… I eat my first meal when I’m hungry and the other one six hours later… I let my window float , not exactly the same every day, depends on what I’m doing on any particular day… but since i was always grazing, I was never burning fat, or water…and yes, I’m probably in a calorie deficit, but IF helped me get there… if my stomach growled at 3 am… I would make a sandwich 🥪… I don’t do that anymore 🤣 so IF helps in many ways.
Dr Jason Fung has to be awarded a Nobel Prize ( or an equivalent) for his seminal work on reversing type 2 diabetes and weight loss. I know from personal experience that it works.
His video I saw on May 8th, 2021changed and saved my life. So much healthier& happier. Freed from the slavery of hunger & fat I struggled with all my life. Thank you Dr. Fung.❤
Works like a charm! I’m 10 days into fasting atleast 20 hours per day combined with eating strict clean keto and I’m down from 215 to 203. A lot of water weight in there of course but GREAT results so far. I feel wonderful. UPDATE (3 weeks later): Down to 194 lbs!! Very noticeable changes is body composition, Strength, energy & focus. Started taking cold showers every day about 2 weeks ago as well. Only noticeable results from that have been tolerance to the cold water 💪🏽 I’ll be back in a few weeks lol
@@football4.069 down to 194! Feeling strong and most of all, a lot more energetic. I started upping my cardio so on the really tough days (2 days per week) I’ll have a small meal mid-afternoon..usually something light like 2 eggs, and an avocado .. then I’ll eat my last meal no later than 8 and get back to fasting. It feels good to be officially under 200lbs.. 180 is my target weight!
I began intermittent fasting a year ago… along with reducing crappy food… lost 70 pounds. Yes!! I’m 54 years old and feel better than I have in decades. So many advantages beyond weight loss. I’m never hangry! Feel better. My skin has never been healthier. ❤
Hey I’m 54 too and starting IF again. The best shape I was ever in, was six years ago, and that’s when I was doing IF. Congrats with your success and keep going!
@@mykdub7811 I started by cutting out evening snacking. Then I learned how to cook and appreciate real, non processed food. Then I slowly began expanding the hours of which I wouldn’t eat… started with 12…. Worked my way up. And I watched a ton of RUclips videos, and kept a journal as well. Good luck! 💗
I started from today. I am addicted to sugar i love snacks, pizza, chips, chocolate is my favorite don't talk about the sodas😭😭😭😭😭. I am now 293 pounds at 32. I have really bad back pain and poor circulation in my feet. Pray 🙏🏽 for me guys i also have severe acid reflux. I want to do this because i want to be healthier not just for me but for my kids😩🙌🏽🙏🏽.
Something as simple as walking might help you a lot. Set a goal of X amount of steps and or miles. No gym membership is required. Some pushups for upper body strength and maybe a kettlebell is helpful. I hate running myself but love walking my dog. I walk as part of my job as well.
I'm one of those " many, many millions" you referred to. I listened to Jason probably 8 years ago when I was entering the middle age, metabolic syndrome stage in life, and I never doubted him because as a seasoned nurse, I knew that his words were clinically accurate. I am healthier now in my 60s than I was in my forties, Thanks in part to his teaching. Intermittent fasting is a regular part of my lifestyle now.😊
What a fabulous doctor. Reversing type II without medicines. Losing weight without drugs or devices. He taught us to let our bodies look after themselves, by not stuffing our faces all day long. I am doing 24-hour fasts. I enjoy it. After three days even the hunger pangs stopped. Life is so much simpler when you only concern yourself with a single meal. I am losing 2 lbs a week, sometimes more. Thank you, Dr Fung.
@@iamalphalim They're not worried, so many more people are in the dark, they will still continue to get their windfall. I just saw a comment yesterday on one of Dr. Berg's vids, where a woman was saying she was afraid to strength train because she women have hormone issues and she's 45. Even in this day and age of unlimited access to information, people still have really outdated notions of health, diet and exercise.
I began IF in Dec '21 and lost 35lbs in 4mos! As of today, I've lost a total of 70lbs!! I am a 71yr "young" lady😉 who got my blood pressure stabilized and my cholesterol in the normal range.
@@lauracastelli4776 I eat between 11am and 5pm. There are mornings when I drink herb tea with Monk fruit sweetener because it wont break my fast. I'm basically eating twice daily with the earlier meal consisting of more fruits, veggies, nuts with some protein in salads and omelets and recipes I find on YT. My second and final meal is heavy on the protein. I walk for 45min-1hr at least 3 times a week, jump on the rebounder (cellerciser) EVERYDAY for at least 20min for full body exercise. I do yoga and/or Qigong every morning for stretching and resistance training and stay hydrated (at least 4-24oz glasses of water daily) I also drink Coconut water to hydrate, add coconut cream to my coffee instead of creamers and add ginger, lemon and monk fruit to chilled herbal teas instead of carbonated drinks. Once a month I fast for 36hrs for a cellular recycling process through Autophagy.
I just started IF and researching and looking at UTUBE and came across your comments. I am similar in age to you and hve 84 lbs to lose. I have done 19-5 for four days and lost a couple of pounds. I clicked on your picture and notice that you subscribe to exactly the same UTUBE videos that I do. I am hoping I can do what you have done and drop t 70lbs plus..... well done you no mean feat at our age. Regards. H x
I'm 65, my new doctor just told me I have the blood work of a healthy 40yo. He said, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. I started with over a full year of 36+ fasts, now I do it once or twice a month. If I told him about the pizza and cheeseburgers I eat he would be shocked. I think once you cure a fatty liver, you have a better and longer life.
I am 5'9", in March of 2023 I weighed 243lbs. That's when I decided to take my health and fitness seriously. I started having one moderate meal a day that consisted of low carbs and high protein (500-900 kcals). In addition to 20 minutes of daily and weight lifting. I'm currently weighing at around 190lbs
I started a 16/8 schedule, July 2023. With weight lifting as well, I'm down 35 pounds and I'm 56 yrs old. Have another 25 to go, and should get there by July 2024.
@@firtekfluidconnector1537 On my own experience on the 3rd day of fasting i notice a drop of my weight like .5 kg a day. I started at 120kg after 1 month I weighed 105kg now.
@@Harry00020 Harry, what are you talking about? Eating OMAD trains your body to not be hungry until when you normally feed. Hunger is controlled by hormones and your circadian rhythm. You can reset that rhythm just like adjusting to jet lag. In time your body just learns.
@philipreed6893 OMAD is One Meal A Day (2MAD is the acronym for 2 Meals A Day). It is a way to restrict calories, wuthout drastically cutting caloies, and it allows the body to adjust its hormone regulation by eliminating frequent hormone, such as insulin, spikes. Paired with exercise (calisthenics, weight training, & interval training), OMAD can steady "remake" your body and spirit no matter your age. Younger people & very physically active people may be better served by 2MAD eaten in a scheduled 4-to-8 hour period every day. There are many, many RUclips videos on OMAD & some on 2MAD. Best wishes on your personal enrichment journey.
@@philipreed6893My cousin, aged 68, lost 90 pounds in a year with the One Meal a Day fasting plan. He chose the hours to eat 4pm to 8pm so they could go out with friends and family for supper. He had what he wanted, which included his beloved Dr Pepper. But, from 8pm to 4pm the next day, it was only water, black coffee and unsweet tea. He said the thing that kept him motivated was every time he lost even 2 ounces, he took a picture of that weight showing on the scales. His new challenge was to see a new lower number , at which time he took a new picture. He looks fantastic and is off his high blood pressure meds and is no longer a Type II diabetic.
Heard Dr Fung speak (on RUclips) last October 2023 - 3 months ago. Was diagnosed with diabetes and told that it was a lifetime problem that I would have to take drugs forever for. I refused to start the drugs. Took Dr Fung’s advice and my A1C is down 3 full points in 3 months. Am intermittently fasting - 16 hr. My weight went from a 250lb high in October to 218lb this morning February 1 2024. They told me that even though my A1C is down they still considered me a diabetic because that is the ‘rule.’.. Once a diabetic always a diabetic. Every once in awhile you get lucky in life and are blessed with some sage advice!
I've been paying attention, for the last several months, to the breadcrumbs left by random people talking about fasting, and I realized that they're all healthy and fit. I decided to do a 24 hour fast that turned into a 48 fast. I was all set to break my fast today at 5:30. Thanks to my research on RUclips the last several hours, I decided to extend it to 72 hours. I feel that I've received enough information on how to correctly fast and to make healthier food choices. I'm now at 56 hours, and I'm not craving food. I want to eat, but I don't feel famished in any sense of the word. God is why I'm here.
@@BroomehallI pray you will discover the sweetest Truth- that you are completely wrong on this matter- there IS a God and YOU ARE SO LOVED BY HIM!!!!!😍❤️💯
@@Broomehall unfortunate for you, however, God is real for Billions across the world, but good luck with your spiritual growth. P.S. - fasting is an itegral part of many religions, so maybe God does have something to do with it....food for thought - pun intended!!
Just finished Ramadan and fasted the whole thing whilst limiting bad food when breaking past. I've lost so much belly fat and I'm more lean. This happens every year and I'm always pleased with it but then I go back to normal eating and snacking and put on the weight. This year I'm going to continue fasting and add excercise
I am on the same track. Continued to fast the 6 days of shawal. I finished them yesterday. Starting today, i am on OMAD fasting, with only dinner at 8pm, 24 hours interval fasting. You can do it.
*Dr Jason Fung changed my life.* I was going to be registered on type 2 and by intermittent fasting I reversed the path and it has been on a stable and safe level in 5 years. You are great man!
Can you please ttell me how he did it? Was he still on the diabetic meds when he started. Did he go full keto etc. There is so much info and conflicting info I am lost as to where to start. I am in my fifties and have never looked after my diabetes . Terribly mismanaged I just jumped of the meds and gave up the soft drinks ( I am an Aussie think you guys call it soda) however I still eat bad foods - processed crap. I am starting to get dermopathy and other symptoms and it's finally forcing me to fake it seriously. I have always had a 'i don't care's or devil may care attitude a it is what it is attitude that really is the opposite of how I should be approaching the matter which in am finally doing now. Thanks
NO snacking and nothing after dinner I don’t count hours anymore, just simple modifications . Balanced meals, no processed food. Seems to be working. Down 10 lbs, 10 to go. Slow weight loss, but no drugs and A1C down to 5.6.
@@darrylkassle361My fasting blood sugar even with Metformin and Trulicity was 189. I started first by eating keto and cutting out carbs and sugars. That dropped it down. I stopped the Trulicity but kept on the Metformin. Once I began fasting and saw my sugars were normal 90-110. I stopped taking the Metformin and told my Doctor. He told me: “If it’s working and you can maintain the lifestyle then keep doing what you’re doing”.
Dr. Fung helped a lot of people and he deserves recognition. I reversed Type 2 Diabetes after reading his book "Obesity Code" and implemented what I learned. My endocrinologist was astonished on my remission after 6 months, I continued on the doctor SOP for 1 year until he had to cut medications because every blood chemicals looked normal. He asked what I did whilst he is the Doctor.
Thanks, Dr. Fung. Based on your books, I was able to reverse my diabetes. My fasting insulin is now around 4.8 - 5.5, and 2 hours after a meal it is about 5.8 - 6.6. I have not taken a medication in half a year. Again, thank you very much.
My neighbour was diagnosed with diabetes, she fasted 1 month for Ramadan, after Ramadan her cholesterol was low, & no sign of diabetic, so this year I'm fasting with her.😊
There are differences in ramadan fasting and healthy fasting. For one, drink water during the day. And their meals at evening is dates and high carb/sugar. Its probably ok (except the dry fasting) for a month. But you cant sustain low calorie, no hydration during the day and high carb break in the fast long term.
I have type 2 diabetes and I'm at 220 lbs and feel like I'm dieing. I'm glad I listened to this podcast and I will try and fast. Cause I'm so tired of being tired.
It's the high blood sugars in the body which is making the diabetic person feel tired constantly. Alternate days include this in your diet. Monday eat garlic 1 or 2 cloves before you eat your meal. Tuesday drink a glass of hot turmeric water before your first meal 200 ml of hot water add half teaspoon turmeric powder, a pinch of pepper powder, mix well drink. Tuesday night soak half teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in about 100 ml of water, next day Wednesday have this water and the soaked seeds (chew them well don't swallow them) before you have your meals. These 3 are game changers for diabetics. Do this alternate days as many days possible. Your tiredness will be better. You got this. Keep going 💪
Working on lowering the weight load on my 66 yr old arthritic hip joints thru low carb, unprocessed foods and 16hr intermittent fasting and I'm down 40 pounds. Sich a relief!
Me too. 69 yo, on 8/16 intermittent fast cutting back alcohol, sugar/processed carbs. Have lost 60+ lbs over past year. At 6 month mark I added one day a week fast
I found Dr Fung about three years ago on RUclips and have two books. My A1C is normal, I no longer eat junk carbs, and feel better. I’ve always struggled with my weight but IF helps. I’ll never be a size 4 again but not doing too bad for a 70+++ old granny. Thank you Dr Fung!
I am on my 18th week of doing Intermittent Fasting Low Carbohydrate / Keto Diet and I have lost 3 stones and 5 pounds. I love Diary of a CEO and I follow the advice given by this amazing Dr. He makes so much sense and I promise you that he is right because I am living proof.
I support everything Dr. Fung said. i remember when i was disciplined and fasted longer, I lost weight and i felt more energized. Fell off due to pregnancy but will restart the lifestyle.
I am 57. I was obese all my life, I want to thank Dr Fung because his work help me to finally loose the weight and keep it off for now 2 years, and get better health. Of course there’s still weight to loose but Im so grateful. Thank you!!!
As a nurse of 35 years experience who just retired, I now have leisure time where I’ve been engaged in sites health oriented. I’ve been recommending that people who neither believe nor have been educated on the physiology of fasting/keto read your very excellent information. Got blasted last night by a nurse with a masters in biology/physiology because she thinks that people need to stuff themselves with carbs and that the only reason IF works is the decrease in calories. I once again said to listen to you and read your well written books. Sadly the reason I retired was because a large percentage of my joints are bone on bone not weight related but lax joints/dislocations. Need 4-5 more surgeries. But I’m finally back on track with keto and fasting. Have 35 lbs I need to kick off my body and I know I can do this. After merely a week, I’m already starting to feel better! Thanks for all you do sir!
For what it's worth. Have a serious look into carnivore. Your joints and probably a lot more, will surely thank you. On my case IF and Keto started the journey to health. But something was not right, in fact it was very wrong. Just for reference IF and carnivore I call it a MIRACLE! The changes are wow! 🙂 Kudos to Dr. Fung.
@@carlosipec2270 I was going to suggest the same thing. I recently watched a video where a man reversed his "bad hip", so bad his doctor wanted to schedule him for hip replacement surgery. He did quite a bit of research and chose to do the carnivore route and healed his joints. Best of luck to you in your health endeavors. ❤
Thanks to both of you! My knees are already better than they were 10 years ago when I was having to have them sucked out with cortisone shots every 3 months - it’s been 2 years since I’ve had that done.
No pretty much do IF and keto. My boyfriend isn’t really good about supporting me in my food plan and it’s difficult to maintain sometimes. Plus I’ll admit that I’m dealing with some depression over losing my Husky Snickers who made it to 18.This definitely affects how I eat and sleep.
Dr Fung has suceeded his legacy, I've been intermittant fasting for 2 1/2 years and have reversed being diabetic, and 3 stone lighter. It's certainly become my way of life. Dr Fung has changed my life, Thank you
Thank you from France. I loose 10 kg within 3 months. Type 2 diabetes not yet reversed but there is a real improvement. Thank you to be a real physician. Not yet found a like you here. My last endocrinologist told me take 6 meals a day 😥 . So thank you to help me to treat myself so much better😇😍
Try using berberine and b vitamins. Berberine will cure insulin resistence in the liver and lower gluconeogenesis, which is often a complication of type 2 diabetes. It upregulates glut4 transporters as well and helps the pancreas.
Started this 1st Nov 23 when I weighed 89 kilo's. Now nearly 4 months later I am 72 kilo's. My window is from 14.00 to 18.00pm Cut out all sugar,which was my demon and also carbs on most days. Eat lots of veg,, meat, nuts and occasional fruit and dairy. Really enjoy the feeling of fasting. I used to weigh a constant 64 kilo's and was very fit but the last 10 years i gained the weight due to cancer treatment, comfort eating due to sudden loss of mother and my dogs in quick succession followed by covid lock down. Didn't know how to get back into shape until I came across fasting. I really recommend it.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing! I experienced a tragedy that knocked my off my IF path to disastrous results, but testimonies like yours are giving me strength to stay faithful. ❤❤
Dr fung, I said out loud” your work “before you said it. Take pride in that, you have worked literal miracles with peoples mindsets. We love you. Thank you for changing my life.
I was told I have high blood pressure and my A1C at 7, I went for a visit because of an ear infection. This doctor told me right off that he is going to put me on high blood pressure med. as well as diabetic. I refused to accept and told him I need to challenge myself more before taking the med. Shortly after that I begin Dr. Janson's intermitten fasting and now on my 13 days and has loss over 10lb. My blood pressure has gone down immensely. I feel great and continue to fasting until I reach my goal. Thank you, Dr. Janson
I did intermittent fasting all my childhood . We went hungry lots !! Grew up and joined a gym, was asked how I kept so slim ? Uhhh, go hungry . Get past the initial hunger pains and growls- get past that and it goes away . It will quit. Then you just have the habit of reaching for food to get past.
I loved Dr. Fung's book "The Obesity Code" and it really helped me lose weight and keep it off. He also taught me about how the body's hormones react to different types of calories. It's not simply calories in, calories out. It's more important WHERE the calories are coming from. Basically, NO processed sugars, they are the devil, lol.
I've been doing this way before it became popular. Growing up, I just wasn't hungry. It's really cool that at a really young age I listened to my body and now it's a way to improve your weight and health. For a long time, people thought I had an ED, but I simply wasn't hungry in the morning.
Love Dr Fung, he knows what he is talking about and people need to listen. We as a country are sick because of fast food and low quality processed trash. we buy for our kids. Kids don’t fast but feed them real foods God has grown for us and they will calm down and slim down. Great conversation Steven.
I’m so glad Jason is getting the well-deserved recognition he’s deserved for years now He’s helped me / taught me so much about weight and body I am forever grateful
I am so delighted medicine is finally understanding the real causes of obesity (I am a retired nurse).. I found a dr who recognized my insulin resistance. From there using meds and fasting i lost over 100 pounds was able ti have my right hip and knee replaced. I have struggled all my life with weight. Doing all the prevailing medical nutritional advice and gaining it all back. I am off meds still using fasting I am regaining my mobility (on crutches 7 years) this approach has saved and changed my life.
Your greatest gift to ME Dr Fung. Is a simplification and clarification of how the body functions. I lost over 105 lbs in less than 5 months and have kept it off for 3 years now. Thank you thank you thank you !
Dr Fung and reversing diabetes, changed my life, I went from 17 and 10lbs last August, right down to 11 stone 10 pounds, also reversing my type 2 diabetes. Thanks 👍🏻
This guy saved my dad's life. My dad was having diabetes for 30yrs and it was getting worse. I listened to Dr Fung's advice and his diabetes is now being reversed. My dad doesn't think of himself as terminally ill. I cannot ever thank Dr Jason Fung enough. I read this book and now everyone in my family does some form of intermittent fasting. All of us are healthier than ever.
Dr. Fung is so articulate, he explains the causes of gaining/losing weight in the most simplistic understandable way. Thank you to both of you for this content.
Changed over to OMAD and I feel amazing, lifting regularly, cardio feels great, and best of all my weight is going down without feeling like I'm neglecting anything. The amount of reduction in hunger from fasting and light therapy has really changed my lifestyle. THANK YOU DR. FUNG
I'm muslim we fast one of the best month in the year And we also fast every (Monday,Thursday)every weak. Dou believe Qur'an tell as the important of fasting for( 1446 AH)years ago and we know the important❤
Brother i think these doctors know that too and made experiments on that to just find out that, its right. How can it be wrong when god teaches us to do that! He created us, ho could know us better than him?!
The greatest thing that happened to me was following Dr. Fung intermittent fasting during covid time and being healthier than ever. He is my savior. Thank you, Dr. Fung for your dedication and hard work.
These are FACTS!! Been doing it for 7 months! Down to 183 from 209… and started mountain biking, stopped eating Reese’s everyday, started eating oatmeal and fruit in the mornings and cut waaaay down on processed sugar. Oh and I ate fish 4 times a week. Oh and I cut way back on sodium, beef and canned foods. Oh and I got a good nights sleep by turning my friggin tv off. 😊
Dr.Fung is brilliant 🙏 Was only insulin through the day with fasting at 550+. Gained 18 kgs. Went cold turkey - no diabetic - 20 kgs down. Alive & well. Thankyou
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🍽️ *Extending fasting periods and eliminating snacks can aid in weight loss by keeping insulin levels low, facilitating fat burning.* 04:14 🔄 *Fasting triggers physiological responses like lower insulin, higher sympathetic tone, cortisol, and growth hormone, leading to increased metabolic rate and fat utilization.* 05:35 🕰️ *Fasting variations include 16-hour fasts, 24-hour fasts, two meals within a 6-hour window, one meal a day, or multiple days without eating.* 09:24 🌾 *Fiber-rich, unprocessed foods slow down glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes compared to processed foods.* 12:09 🥤 *Juice fasting's effectiveness depends on sugar content; vegetable juices with low sugar can be healthier, but it's generally less effective than regular fasting.* 16:03 🩺 *Dr. Jason Fung hopes his work helps reverse type 2 diabetes, challenges the calorie-centric view of weight loss, and encourages healthier lifestyle changes.* Made with HARPA AI
I'll be 54 next month. Last year I lost 40 lbs in 7 months doing IF 18:6 2MAD (plus exercising). I've done two 48 hr fasts as well, including one that led right up to Thanksgiving dinner. This shit works people. If I can do this ANYONE can.
I'm prepping my mind up to do a 3 day fast tomorrow-Sunday. Thanks for the inspiration. I always thought the shakes were from low blood sugar but now I know it's epinephrine and I need electrolytes.
@ClarkPotter Because I don't feel like losing any of this lean muscle mass that I've also added. Anything longer than a 48 hr fast and you risk losing that.
Thank you Dr Fung! Your work helped me to reverse my T2 diabetes and lose 70 pounds! You have made such a difference! The world needs more doctors like you!
I first watched Dr. Fung back in 2021 and I've been doing IF/OMAD since. I lost 20lbs in the first 6 months and I've kept my weight btwn 160-165 ever since. My lab/blood panels are great and I feel great. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
I lost 70 pounds of fat by doing intermittent fasting, 80k steps a week, 2 x Hiit and resistence training in 10 months. I never eat more than 30gr of sugar per day. My blood results are perfect. I did 2 x 5 days water fast (electrolytes magnesium and zink)
In July of 2017 my wife passed away after months in the hospital. I weighed 210 because of grief, spending time with her and comfort eating. Three months later I was down to 180 through exercise, and better eating. Found out about IF November 2019 and got down to 160. I did lots of bicycling but had reduced my weight lifting. Lost much of my muscle mass along with fat. Now I use IF as a tool, not as a lifestyle. I don't IF everyday and I do lift weights 3 times a week. IF works but keep a watch on muscle loss.
Just a tip- Lift heavy weights at the gym to maintain muscle mass and possibly add some. You lift light and you will lose muscle. Trust me lift heavy in the 2-6 reps with 80-90% of your true true max
I feel so blessed to have come accros this video. As Muslims, we fast at least 1 month per year ( for 16 hours or so depending on where you live). And for those want to imitate our role model( Prophet Mohammed peace be upon Him) more, we fast Mondays and Thursdays and/ 3 days a month ( optional for any month of the year). He has taught us this practice since 1400’s until now those who follow him still do this. Alhamdoullillah!
The Bible also speaks on fasting. Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights. Lots of Christians use the biblical model. Whatever inspires, I hope people lose the weight they desire 😊
"Dr. Jason Fung is an incredibly brilliant doctor. I've been listening to him for years, and his insights have made a significant impact on my understanding of health."

FYI. Elijah Muhammad from Nation of Islam and the NOI are the founders of intermittent fasting. The NOI has been practicing, and recomending intermittent fasting since the 1930s. Elijah Muhammad published an entire book about intermittent fasting in 1967 called "Eat To Live". NOI members to this day eat 1 meal per day or 1 meal every other day.
Does my morning spoon of olive oil and lemon, breaks intermittent fasting???
I started fasting in 2016. Dr said she wishes all patients had labs that look like mine. I’m 55 and I’m just as fit and in shape as I was in my 20s. Menopause did not cause weight gain. Went on 14 trip to Europe including a cruise. Ate like a queen. Did NOT gain 1 lb! Metabolism is great!
Been doing IF for 18 months and down from 353 to 229.6 as of this morning. Still have a way to go but it’s the easiest and most successful weight loss attempt of my life.
Amazing 🎉
Wowwww! Fantastic!
Wowwww! Fantastic!
What’s your split?
Congratulations. That's fantastic, it most definitely works.
After break up with my ex-girlfriend I lost 60lbs for 7months. Process was slow but consistent, nothing comes overnight. I started with hydratation, 5k steps per day and meal plan from Onlymeal. Than I started with workouts at the gym 3 times per week.
You said the magic word-'after your ex'-because I had you in a very toxic relationship... same. I’ve been working on myself too.
I lost 100 pounds with no loose skin because of this man and healthy alternative..
Keep up the good work, buddy.💯
Can you tell us how?
Great work
Awesome dude
@NouraFares_ he told you , because of this man, we assume it's fasting more .
I am a retired physician with a very difficult autoimmune disease. My immune system is attacking nerve cells through out the body(thankfully not the central nervous system ). Thanks to Dr. Fung and other experts I started fasting 12 hours a day. Also, very importantly, no eating for 3 hours before bedtime. Then I extended the fast by 30 minutes per week…NOT difficult.
Now I fast 14 to 16 hours a day which is not difficult at all.
I have lost 25 pounds and my disease is stable, not progressing, so thank you, Dr. Fung!
It sounds like you’re speaking of MS. If so, forget what DR. are saying about your body attacking itself.
@
Could you elaborate or give a reference.
Thank you for your concern.
I do about 16 hours of intermittent fasting myself for better keeping my weight after menopause (BMI 22,5, never been overweight).
It is working but a bigger game changer was avoiding industrial sugar (besides an occasional piece of cake on the weekends😊). Since then I have much less pain in my joints and muscles (no diagnoses).
Sugar = inflammation.
I’m so happy your AID is stable. Good work & advice. 👍🏽

It's not arrogant. Dr. Jason Fung, your work has impacted and helped many many millions of people to reverse type 2 diabetes. You have changed the world!
Dr.Jason Fung is absolutely brilliant.
The concept in simple. Activate the emergency adrenal glands to quite literally pump you with “steroids”. IF isn’t a sustainable thing long term but rather a diet. Once you use up your “steroids” they take time to replenish.
I agree he has changed the world

Fasting does work. I lost 130lbs fasting 20years ago. Fast forward (marriage and kids), I gained it all back plus some. So a year ago I started fasting 24 to 48 hours, typically I eat one meal 3-4 times a week. I’ve lost over 100lbs and I feel amazing. I’m now smaller than I was when I met my husband (and he’s back to his original size as well). We both have never been happier. Fasting cleanses your body and soul. Good luck everyone.
💪👏👏
Congratulations! Amazing!
Yeah, water fasting for three days is amazing for the body. It does wonders for your hormones.
@@sion1677is that just how it sounds...only water for 3 days?
@harpert579 yes only water for three days, it revolutionize your health.
Long term fasting saved my life mentally, physically and spiritually.
That's wonderful knowledge is power
How do you manage to fast for long periods of time I get nervous if I don't eat twice a day I have done a bit of fasting by eating breakfast at 12 pm my biggest accomplishment lol lol
once I learned how capable and resilient the human body is based on how our ancestors were able to survive long periods of time without food that was enough motivation to go a day or two without food on occasion. The human body is very similar to a bear. We can survive off our fat stores just like them. Our minds play tricks on us making us believe we are weak but in reality we were built to survive the most extreme conditions.
I am on another re-start plan to lengthen my fasting time and shorten my feeding time. IF has helped me drop weight and feel amazing in the past but I ruined it and went back to some bad habits. That started with just the tiniest taste of sugar. I'm on day 2 of no sugar and at least 18 hours of fasting. ❤ I want this back! More energy, less brain fog and inflammation, reduced depression and getting back into my regular clothes again!❤
@@lindahersco7638 I'm at day 8 of a possible 30 day fast. Just a dab of salt in the water for minerals and you can do it. The first few days can be hell with some getting headaches but fight through and your body goes into a state called autophagy breaking down damaged cells and building new ones. Start small with a 1 day then 3 day fast the next then go longer if you want.
Can I say that this man saved my life? I was over weight all my life, last year I randomly saw his videos and started fasting I lost 40kg, I am more healthy, light, now I can move with no pain, I look younger and the most important thing is that I don't feel hungry all the time anymore
Thank Dr. Fung 🙏🏽
I loSt 20 and counting and crazy how easier life becomes once u shed kgs
Hi did you do 16/8 ? Everyday? Thanks for sharing
I always thought I was weird because it’s easier for me to NOT eat then to eat light all day.. once I eat the first meal I’m hungry all damn day. The biggest myth in the world is “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”
@@333houseoflight
I did 16/8 everyday, then started to do OMAD one meal a day once or twice a day
@@Itsxmusic
Same thing happened to me, when I used to eat in the morning I got be hungry all the day until I sleep
I wish some1 told me before that the problem wasn't my will power but the time and the quality of food I was eating
I thought I was a fat child, fat teen, fat adult and I will die fat... and the problem is in me 💔 I did try all kind of diets and failed... until I saw Dr. FUNG's video, I thought well I have nothing to lose anyway the worst thing that can happen is that I will stay fat or gain back the weight again in no time
My husband does IF and OMAD. It has been an absolute miracle what it has done to his body and skin. My husband is retired military and had horrible chemical burns on his arms and body as well as a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
All of his burns and gunshot wound are completely healed. He literally has zero scars left. This has been from almost 10 yrs of doing IF and OMAD.
He started this journey because he was getting the munchies at night from taking ambien to help him sleep.
He had me make sure to not let him eat at night and he was always so busy at work that he ended up only eating OMAD.He lost the weight and his skin started to heal.
IF is literally a miracle for skin rejuvenation the natural way.
He is 50 and looks amazing for his age.
But how can you live on such little calories? I’m just asking because of certain health issues l have. 😊
I'm 65y, F.
I eat OMAD.
Began keto 3 years ago. Was 240lbs, now 150.
A1c was 8.3, now 5.2
Once you become fat adapted, you'll lose hunger and discover what your body actually needs.
I took Abain for 18 years ! On and off ! Off it for 3 weeks when cold turkey !! Haven’t sleep the best but not eating at night ! And feel better just starting fasting !!! Doing Better!!
@@nickijaycox7773OMAD can be tricky bc you still need to cram 1200+ cals into a single meal and your goal is to not spike your insulin the rest of the day with drinks.
The easiest way to do OMAD is to try it once a week. Allow yourself time to research healthy/calorie sufficient OMAD meals, then do it twice a week.
There’s no one meal plant that fits all nutrition/weight goals and you may not even need to do OMAD to reach your goals. 2 meals a day in a 6 hour (18 fasting hours) window is extremely powerful if you’re not at that level yet. Best of luck!!
@@nickijaycox7773When you fast long enough and start using ketones for fuel, the body will convert stored fat into the energy you need. As long as you aren’t underweight the body will compensate for the difference between calorie intake and what your body needs. If you avoid carbs then you go back to using ketones faster and you will have stable energy all day.
The best part of fasting for me is that I don't have to concern myself with what to eat for that portion of the day. What a relief not to have to think about it!
You're very correct. Saves my cooking gas as well 😂😂
Since I don't eat breakfast, I eat hard boiled eggs at night for a snack after dinner. Eggs are good for you, but you don't have to have them for breakfast.
...and it saves money too! :)
It’s amazing how much time it frees up to skip a meal
That in and of itself is greatest relief
I’m 6 weeks into intermittent fasting… I’ve lost 21 pounds so far, it’s much easier than I expected… 29 more pounds to go…. I cut the beer, bread 🥖 and pasta… first meal at 10am second meal at 4 pm… lean meats, fresh veggies and fruit 🍎… no junk food… and the weight is falling off 😃👍
I fast as well and eat mostly whole foods and no more refined sugar. Down three jeans sizes since February. Not a diet a lifestyle. Real food tastes great.
How do you know it's the IF causing the weight loss and not the drastic change in food quality? Are you eating the same number of calories between those two meals as you were prior to starting this? If not, how can the weight loss be attributed to IF and not to calorie deficit and less refined sugars?
Plenty of bodybuilders will tell you they lose weight with a calorie deficit and healthier calories.
Congratulations to you,. That's awesome. I'm just trying to figure out how I can lose 30 pounds with being such a picky eater. I'm hesitant to try IF because I'm super active and have a history of blood sugar drops causing dizziness and fatigue even though I'm not diabetic; been tested numerous times.
@@ThaStonedGardner well I haven’t changed what I eat, I was already eating a healthy diet… but I did cut out the constant grazing… and cut out beer, pasta and bread… much of what I’ve lost so far could be water weight, but so what… eventually I’ll start burning fat, and that’s where the IF comes in… you should start slow, adjust your six hour window to accommodate your lifestyle… and after two or three days it gets much easier, just like anything… I didn’t realize I was opening the fridge and staring in, for no reason, IF helps me discipline my eating habits… I eat my first meal when I’m hungry and the other one six hours later… I let my window float , not exactly the same every day, depends on what I’m doing on any particular day… but since i was always grazing, I was never burning fat, or water…and yes, I’m probably in a calorie deficit, but IF helped me get there… if my stomach growled at 3 am… I would make a sandwich 🥪… I don’t do that anymore 🤣 so IF helps in many ways.
@@MattTaormina-y2k good deal, thanks!
That’s awesome and so encouraging. I have about 45-50 lbs to lose. Definitely giving it a try.
Dr Jason Fung has to be awarded a Nobel Prize ( or an equivalent) for his seminal work on reversing type 2 diabetes and weight loss. I know from personal experience that it works.

I am healthier now in my 60s than I was in my forties, Thanks in part to his teaching. Intermittent fasting is a regular part of my lifestyle now.😊

What a fabulous doctor. Reversing type II without medicines. Losing weight without drugs or devices. He taught us to let our bodies look after themselves, by not stuffing our faces all day long. I am doing 24-hour fasts. I enjoy it. After three days even the hunger pangs stopped. Life is so much simpler when you only concern yourself with a single meal. I am losing 2 lbs a week, sometimes more. Thank you, Dr Fung.

My second and final meal is heavy on the protein. I walk for 45min-1hr at least 3 times a week, jump on the rebounder (cellerciser) EVERYDAY for at least 20min for full body exercise. I do yoga and/or Qigong every morning for stretching and resistance training and stay hydrated (at least 4-24oz glasses of water daily) I also drink Coconut water to hydrate, add coconut cream to my coffee instead of creamers and add ginger, lemon and monk fruit to chilled herbal teas instead of carbonated drinks.

Hi, can someone explain what OMAD is? First time I saw this,thx
@philipreed6893 OMAD is One Meal A Day (2MAD is the acronym for 2 Meals A Day). It is a way to restrict calories, wuthout drastically cutting caloies, and it allows the body to adjust its hormone regulation by eliminating frequent hormone, such as insulin, spikes. Paired with exercise (calisthenics, weight training, & interval training), OMAD can steady "remake" your body and spirit no matter your age. Younger people & very physically active people may be better served by 2MAD eaten in a scheduled 4-to-8 hour period every day. There are many, many RUclips videos on OMAD & some on 2MAD. Best wishes on your personal enrichment journey.
@@philipreed6893My cousin, aged 68, lost 90 pounds in a year with the One Meal a Day fasting plan. He chose the hours to eat 4pm to 8pm so they could go out with friends and family for supper. He had what he wanted, which included his beloved Dr Pepper. But, from 8pm to 4pm the next day, it was only water, black coffee and unsweet tea. He said the thing that kept him motivated was every time he lost even 2 ounces, he took a picture of that weight showing on the scales. His new challenge was to see a new lower number , at which time he took a new picture. He looks fantastic and is off his high blood pressure meds and is no longer a Type II diabetic.
A hero without a cape, thank you Dr Fung..
Heard Dr Fung speak (on RUclips) last October 2023 - 3 months ago. Was diagnosed with diabetes and told that it was a lifetime problem that I would have to take drugs forever for. I refused to start the drugs. Took Dr Fung’s advice and my A1C is down 3 full points in 3 months. Am intermittently fasting - 16 hr. My weight went from a 250lb high in October to 218lb this morning February 1 2024. They told me that even though my A1C is down they still considered me a diabetic because that is the ‘rule.’.. Once a diabetic always a diabetic. Every once in awhile you get lucky in life and are blessed with some sage advice!
What they told you is simply not true. Don’t listen to that nonsense and continue your present protocol. Best of luck! 💪🏼👊🔥
I've been paying attention, for the last several months, to the breadcrumbs left by random people talking about fasting, and I realized that they're all healthy and fit. I decided to do a 24 hour fast that turned into a 48 fast. I was all set to break my fast today at 5:30. Thanks to my research on RUclips the last several hours, I decided to extend it to 72 hours. I feel that I've received enough information on how to correctly fast and to make healthier food choices. I'm now at 56 hours, and I'm not craving food. I want to eat, but I don't feel famished in any sense of the word. God is why I'm here.
Good job. Most people would crumble before 24 hours.
God is just an idea, not a reality, nothing whatsoever to do fasting I"m afraid, but good luck with your health and fasting.

Just finished Ramadan and fasted the whole thing whilst limiting bad food when breaking past. I've lost so much belly fat and I'm more lean. This happens every year and I'm always pleased with it but then I go back to normal eating and snacking and put on the weight. This year I'm going to continue fasting and add excercise
I am on the same track. Continued to fast the 6 days of shawal. I finished them yesterday. Starting today, i am on OMAD fasting, with only dinner at 8pm, 24 hours interval fasting. You can do it.

My husband got rid of diabetes with fasting and is saving loads of money by not buying the drugs that were prescribed by the doctor.
Can you please ttell me how he did it? Was he still on the diabetic meds when he started. Did he go full keto etc. There is so much info and conflicting info I am lost as to where to start. I am in my fifties and have never looked after my diabetes . Terribly mismanaged I just jumped of the meds and gave up the soft drinks ( I am an Aussie think you guys call it soda) however I still eat bad foods - processed crap. I am starting to get dermopathy and other symptoms and it's finally forcing me to fake it seriously. I have always had a 'i don't care's or devil may care attitude a it is what it is attitude that really is the opposite of how I should be approaching the matter which in am finally doing now. Thanks
NO snacking and nothing after dinner
I don’t count hours anymore, just simple modifications . Balanced meals, no processed food. Seems to be working.
Down 10 lbs, 10 to go. Slow weight loss, but no drugs and A1C down to 5.6.
How to begin with that and what was the diet plan in beginning
@@darrylkassle361My fasting blood sugar even with Metformin and Trulicity was 189. I started first by eating keto and cutting out carbs and sugars. That dropped it down. I stopped the Trulicity but kept on the Metformin. Once I began fasting and saw my sugars were normal 90-110. I stopped taking the Metformin and told my Doctor. He told me: “If it’s working and you can maintain the lifestyle then keep doing what you’re doing”.
Dr. Fung helped a lot of people and he deserves recognition. I reversed Type 2 Diabetes after reading his book "Obesity Code" and implemented what I learned. My endocrinologist was astonished on my remission after 6 months, I continued on the doctor SOP for 1 year until he had to cut medications because every blood chemicals looked normal. He asked what I did whilst he is the Doctor.
I lost 30 pounds in 2 months from eating 2000 cal a day between 1pm to 5pm. It really works

Thanks, Dr. Fung. Based on your books, I was able to reverse my diabetes. My fasting insulin is now around 4.8 - 5.5, and 2 hours after a meal it is about 5.8 - 6.6. I have not taken a medication in half a year. Again, thank you very much.

Good for you and happy ramadan for both of you!
So how is fasting going? 😊
@@rogue_spiritI have lost 5.5 kilo 5 days fasting Ramadan 2x48 hours dry fasting.
Lier, with no evidence bunch of lies
There are differences in ramadan fasting and healthy fasting. For one, drink water during the day. And their meals at evening is dates and high carb/sugar.
Its probably ok (except the dry fasting) for a month. But you cant sustain low calorie, no hydration during the day and high carb break in the fast long term.

i always train fasted. There's no negatives.
Do you fast in the evening or in the morning? I probably need more fibre as I still need to #2 before gym

I have type 2 diabetes and I'm at 220 lbs and feel like I'm dieing. I'm glad I listened to this podcast and I will try and fast. Cause I'm so tired of being tired.
You've taken the first step already. You have all of us here to support you. You got this!! 💪🏻
You got this!!! You are stronger 💪 than you think. Stay positive and stay moving forward each and every day.
It's the high blood sugars in the body which is making the diabetic person feel tired constantly. Alternate days include this in your diet. Monday eat garlic 1 or 2 cloves before you eat your meal. Tuesday drink a glass of hot turmeric water before your first meal 200 ml of hot water add half teaspoon turmeric powder, a pinch of pepper powder, mix well drink. Tuesday night soak half teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in about 100 ml of water, next day Wednesday have this water and the soaked seeds (chew them well don't swallow them) before you have your meals.
These 3 are game changers for diabetics. Do this alternate days as many days possible. Your tiredness will be better.
You got this. Keep going 💪
Could you give us an update?

Awesome results! It’s spelled “lose” though not “loose”

Dr Jason Fung is the best!! So glad you had him on your show. He doesn't try to sell you a single thing.
As a nurse of 35 years experience who just retired, I now have leisure time where I’ve been engaged in sites health oriented.
I’ve been recommending that people who neither believe nor have been educated on the physiology of fasting/keto read your very excellent information. Got blasted last night by a nurse with a masters in biology/physiology because she thinks that people need to stuff themselves with carbs and that the only reason IF works is the decrease in calories.
I once again said to listen to you and read your well written books.
Sadly the reason I retired was because a large percentage of my joints are bone on bone not weight related but lax joints/dislocations. Need 4-5 more surgeries. But I’m finally back on track with keto and fasting. Have 35 lbs I need to kick off my body and I know I can do this. After merely a week, I’m already starting to feel better!
Thanks for all you do sir!
For what it's worth. Have a serious look into carnivore. Your joints and probably a lot more, will surely thank you.
On my case IF and Keto started the journey to health. But something was not right, in fact it was very wrong.
Just for reference IF and carnivore I call it a MIRACLE! The changes are wow! 🙂
Kudos to Dr. Fung.
@@carlosipec2270 I was going to suggest the same thing. I recently watched a video where a man reversed his "bad hip", so bad his doctor wanted to schedule him for hip replacement surgery. He did quite a bit of research and chose to do the carnivore route and healed his joints. Best of luck to you in your health endeavors. ❤
Thanks to both of you! My knees are already better than they were 10 years ago when I was having to have them sucked out with cortisone shots every 3 months - it’s been 2 years since I’ve had that done.
@@michellemartinov6267 did you start carnivore?
No pretty much do IF and keto. My boyfriend isn’t really good about supporting me in my food plan and it’s difficult to maintain sometimes. Plus I’ll admit that I’m dealing with some depression over losing my Husky Snickers who made it to 18.This definitely affects how I eat and sleep.
Dr Fung has suceeded his legacy, I've been intermittant fasting for 2 1/2 years and have reversed being diabetic, and 3 stone lighter. It's certainly become my way of life. Dr Fung has changed my life, Thank you
Thank you from France. I loose 10 kg within 3 months. Type 2 diabetes not yet reversed but there is a real improvement. Thank you to be a real physician. Not yet found a like you here. My last endocrinologist told me take 6 meals a day 😥 . So thank you to help me to treat myself so much better😇😍
Congrats. How many hours do you fast?
Quel endocrinologue vous a dit de consommer 6 repas par jour?
Congratulations ❤ keep it up
Try using berberine and b vitamins. Berberine will cure insulin resistence in the liver and lower gluconeogenesis, which is often a complication of type 2 diabetes. It upregulates glut4 transporters as well and helps the pancreas.
Yes I also heard that most of the docs instructed 5 6 small meals per day. Medical industry 😅@@samphyllobates4765
his greatest gift, IMO. was to tell people, when fasting, your hunger pangs will lessen, not get stronger...that helped tremendously.
Started this 1st Nov 23 when I weighed 89 kilo's. Now nearly 4 months later I am 72 kilo's. My window is from 14.00 to 18.00pm
Cut out all sugar,which was my demon and also carbs on most days.
Eat lots of veg,, meat, nuts and occasional fruit and dairy. Really enjoy the feeling of fasting.
I used to weigh a constant 64 kilo's and was very fit but the last 10 years i gained the weight due to cancer treatment, comfort eating due to sudden loss of mother and my dogs in quick succession followed by covid lock down. Didn't know how to get back into shape until I came across fasting.
I really recommend it.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing! I experienced a tragedy that knocked my off my IF path to disastrous results, but testimonies like yours are giving me strength to stay faithful. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing. This is an inspirational story and I hope you continue to reach new strengths in life ❤
The plural of kilo is kilos. Your phone or spell checker has added a possessive s to kilo.
Dr fung, I said out loud” your work “before you said it. Take pride in that, you have worked literal miracles with peoples mindsets. We love you. Thank you for changing my life.
I’m on intermittent fasting for exact a month today, I have lost 2kg so far, and feel more energetic. Loving it ❤
Off to the kg to lb converter. 😅 Congrats!
Awwww
About 4.7#s! Weigh to go! I’m feeling inspired. 5#s would be a great jumpstart for me too.
Just adopt it as a lifestyle and forget about the scales. All the rest will occur naturally. Do take progress photos though.
I started to control my macros and I lost 5 kilos in a month, no need to fast
I was told I have high blood pressure and my A1C at 7, I went for a visit because of an ear infection. This doctor told me right off that he is going to put me on high blood pressure med. as well as diabetic. I refused to accept and told him I need to challenge myself more before taking the med. Shortly after that I begin Dr. Janson's intermitten fasting and now on my 13 days and has loss over 10lb. My blood pressure has gone down immensely. I feel great and continue to fasting until I reach my goal. Thank you, Dr. Janson
Look into collagen
I did intermittent fasting all my childhood . We went hungry lots !! Grew up and joined a gym, was asked how I kept so slim ? Uhhh, go hungry . Get past the initial hunger pains and growls- get past that and it goes away . It will quit. Then you just have the habit of reaching for food to get past.
😂😂😂 I'm laughing but you are so right.
Into a long fast say 72 hrs how long do the initial hunger pains last for before you begin to start feeling comfortable with it
@@darrylkassle361 I believe it takes 3 days to a week
I loved Dr. Fung's book "The Obesity Code" and it really helped me lose weight and keep it off. He also taught me about how the body's hormones react to different types of calories. It's not simply calories in, calories out. It's more important WHERE the calories are coming from. Basically, NO processed sugars, they are the devil, lol.
I've been doing this way before it became popular. Growing up, I just wasn't hungry. It's really cool that at a really young age I listened to my body and now it's a way to improve your weight and health. For a long time, people thought I had an ED, but I simply wasn't hungry in the morning.
Seriously who gave the credit to this guy he did not come up with it LOL
As a biochemist, my father did his master’s research on the health benefits of intermittent fasting from a medical perspective nearly 50 years ago.
Love Dr Fung, he knows what he is talking about and people need to listen. We as a country are sick because of fast food and low quality processed trash. we buy for our kids. Kids don’t fast but feed them real foods God has grown for us and they will calm down and slim down. Great conversation Steven.
Lets get healthy not thru drugs not thru meds but thru the oldest most primitive way- fasting! 🥳 love his gift to the world
I’m so glad Jason is getting the well-deserved recognition he’s deserved for years now
He’s helped me / taught me so much about weight and body I am forever grateful
I am so delighted medicine is finally understanding the real causes of obesity (I am a retired nurse).. I found a dr who recognized my insulin resistance. From there using meds and fasting i lost over 100 pounds was able ti have my right hip and knee replaced. I have struggled all my life with weight. Doing all the prevailing medical nutritional advice and gaining it all back. I am off meds still using fasting I am regaining my mobility (on crutches 7 years) this approach has saved and changed my life.
Dr. Fung saved my life. I love him and the Fasting Network. I'm love the book The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code
Your greatest gift to ME Dr Fung. Is a simplification and clarification of how the body functions. I lost over 105 lbs in less than 5 months and have kept it off for 3 years now. Thank you thank you thank you !

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🍽️ *Extending fasting periods and eliminating snacks can aid in weight loss by keeping insulin levels low, facilitating fat burning.*
04:14 🔄 *Fasting triggers physiological responses like lower insulin, higher sympathetic tone, cortisol, and growth hormone, leading to increased metabolic rate and fat utilization.*
05:35 🕰️ *Fasting variations include 16-hour fasts, 24-hour fasts, two meals within a 6-hour window, one meal a day, or multiple days without eating.*
09:24 🌾 *Fiber-rich, unprocessed foods slow down glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes compared to processed foods.*
12:09 🥤 *Juice fasting's effectiveness depends on sugar content; vegetable juices with low sugar can be healthier, but it's generally less effective than regular fasting.*
16:03 🩺 *Dr. Jason Fung hopes his work helps reverse type 2 diabetes, challenges the calorie-centric view of weight loss, and encourages healthier lifestyle changes.*

Hope isnt arrogance. God bless this man thank you for your insights
In July of 2017 my wife passed away after months in the hospital. I weighed 210 because of grief, spending time with her and comfort eating. Three months later I was down to 180 through exercise, and better eating. Found out about IF November 2019 and got down to 160. I did lots of bicycling but had reduced my weight lifting. Lost much of my muscle mass along with fat. Now I use IF as a tool, not as a lifestyle. I don't IF everyday and I do lift weights 3 times a week. IF works but keep a watch on muscle loss.
Just a tip- Lift heavy weights at the gym to maintain muscle mass and possibly add some. You lift light and you will lose muscle. Trust me lift heavy in the 2-6 reps with 80-90% of your true true max
Thanks to Dr. Jason I am not any more on isoline treatment. I have reversed my diabetes.
Dr. Fung changed the trajectory of my life because of his books and videos. 👍
I feel so blessed to have come accros this video. As Muslims, we fast at least 1 month per year ( for 16 hours or so depending on where you live). And for those want to imitate our role model( Prophet Mohammed peace be upon Him) more, we fast Mondays and Thursdays and/ 3 days a month ( optional for any month of the year). He has taught us this practice since 1400’s until now those who follow him still do this. Alhamdoullillah!
The Bible also speaks on fasting. Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights. Lots of Christians use the biblical model. Whatever inspires, I hope people lose the weight they desire 😊
"Dr. Jason Fung is an incredibly brilliant doctor. I've been listening to him for years, and his insights have made a significant impact on my understanding of health."
