Dr. Fung changed my life. I was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes a few years ago and was put on medication. Years later, I discovered Dr. Fung and this idea of IF. After 8 months of IF, weight training and a low carb diet, I’ve lost over 40lbs and lowered my A1C from over 11 to 5.7. At this point in time, I no longer need medication.

My sister-in-law shared your channel with me and I have now ventured into intermittent fasting and I must say I am a seriously true blue diabetic on two shots today and two pills and I already feel better and it's only day 3 and my glucose#s looks a lot better🙂

Dr Berg, Health Coach Kait is a good one too and Dr Mindy. There are more too if you're wanting to take the time to go through them but basically you can get a lot of info from the comments section. Hope you find your niche and reverse your diabetes. I'm pre-diabetic and I'm trying really hard to find my way. Good luck😁
Please live more than 100! The more people live, and the more we go forward into the future, the quality of food goes down. We need good doctors like you to help us make better dietary choices. Thank you for really caring about people.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung. I'm in NZ watching your video last year and NZ got lockdown I started I f 16/8 18/6 20/4 and omad I was 74kg now 59kg. Thank you very much Dr Jason. You're safe a lot of lives, very appreciated. Blessings.
You're one of my very few fave doctors. I just wish all doctors actually care for us like you guys do. Thank you so much for creating this platform for us 🙏🏼💥
I am in my early 60's I have been on a strict Keto but very low-fat along with OMAD constant now for 9 months along with I.F (48-72 hr) I feel like i am in my 40;s again I wish i would have found you years ago.. Thank You for the knowledge you share...
Joseph Lister, MD engendered a paradigm shift in surgery. Andrew Weil, MD contributed sizeable expansion to wellness practices. They deserved even more recognition. Dr. Fung utilized an equivalence of creativity and has both vastly improved or rescued lives and also deserves even more recognition.
just wanted to reach out and say thankyou to you Dr Fung! you have helped many on their health and healing journey by sharing your knowledge and wisdom on IF. Wish you long life, wellbeing, health, property and happiness 😊
Thank You very much for who You are and all You do !!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank You very very much Dr. Fung for helping my husband and and all of us to get healthy!!!!!❤️🙏❤️
I love listening to you Jason... And already started 2 meals per day. But now i just started OMAD. I'm already 36, 77 kilogram.. I snore a lot, obese and also have carpal tunnel syndrome. And hoping to achieve 65 kilograms on my weight. 🙏🙏
So cool to hear the car engine longevity analogy from someone other than me haha... I came up with that when I was about 15 years old (15 years ago) as I realised I had a very low metabolic rate/caloric requirement (and can build muscle very easily with little training and little protein, IE; 50-70g a day max and sub 2,000 calories). Since I was that age I was always saying I was going to live to 200, I completely quit sugar or any synthetic compounds around then, and have since done dozens of long terms fasts, including 7 day dry fasts. Now I just do a 7 day water fast at the end of every month, only eat 1 meal a day when not fasting, try to do low carb apart from my somewhat excessive beer intake haha... Haven't been ill once since then, so half of my life. Back to the engine analogy, I always likened it to the difference between a low revving V8 engine that could last 100,000 miles without a rebuild compared to a 10,000+ RPM race car that can complete but a single race before being completely deteriorated. Cheers from the UK and thank you for all of your work here!
@@SebHu711 I definitely agree that dry fasting is superior to water fasting for its health benefits, however I find it to necessitate resting a lot of the time as I would get quite lightheaded when getting up from sitting down etc... with water fasting I can continue with my days as usual, for instance I do bicycle courier work a few days a week and wouldn't be able to do that whilst dry fasting. Also being able to drink tea/coffee (without milk or sugar) really helps make things more enjoyable. I'll certainly do more dry fasts in the future, but for now I'm happy with a 7 day water fast at the end of every month.
I’m 42, regular body weight/BMI with no health problems. I just got blood testing which I hadn’t done in 3 years, with the last year doing IF and mostly keto diet and substantial reduction of carbs intake. My total cholesterol is 201, it was 164 in 2019. My LDL is 113, it was 93. Both values flagged as high (Regular values: Cholesterol
Higher cholesterol increases Mortality. Do not base your cholesterol on old false testing. You really have to do more research on cholesterol. Start watching RUclips vids on the cholesterol hoax.
I have been doing If, 17-20 hrs per day 5 days a week, for about 3 months. My blood glucose went up 10 points compared to my previous blood test which was already borderline and triglycerides are now high! I don't understand because I totally changed my diet (low carbs, more lean protein and low cal veggies, no sugar) since I have been doing IF.
You are so kind to do this. Do you have any advice for vegans and vegetarians? If I missed a video on it, I apologize. I read your book in two days. Thank you for any help.
I started intermittent fasting at the tender age of about 11 in 1976. I just wanted to sleep longer. So I skipped breakfast. About 3 yrs ago I started living on one meal only and kept my weight in check but at the higher end of the what the bmi allows us. And I am exercising almost daily (cycling). For about half a year my weight has been creeping up. Now I am about 7 kg above what is allowed. It is interesting how my body wants to keep my weight at a certain level.
Maybe it's about what you're eating. A salad heaped with veggies and a fruit smoothie on the side is like a total of 400-900 calories. Now if it's white pasta with alfredo and a side of fried chicken...then that's a lot.
Acromegaly is a rare disease where shortened lifespans are due to the ravaging effects of very high IGF-1 levels. I manage my life with it as best I can via IF and cyclic Keto. I'll try lowering my caloric intake to see what this does. As I just did blood work a week ago and see my endocrinologist tommorow, we shall have a basis on which to drive at a later appointment. Thanks for the heads up, Dr Fung!! I'll try to remember send Dr Harris this vid!
@@TinaICXCNIKA I have been on this journey for over 15 years. I'm a rare GH secretive tumor Acro...and surgery failed. Octreotide and lanreotide were horrific,as was one other drug they tried. Her milage may vary! However I am fairing much better now with excellent nutrition, cyclical keto ( I stay on longer than most however) and 3x a week IF. I make sure not to EF, because that raises GH levels. Find what works For Her,and never give up. Just this last Dec I was in a horrible car wreck which necessitated cervical surgery to save my life. Last month at 3 month follow up: Neurosurgeon PA " Wow, your vertabra are solid! I've never seen anyone this healed this well at 3 months out!". Me" Acromegaly for the win!" ...you gotta find your humor and sunlight when ya can ! Good luck to your god daughter- it's rough, but she can help herself, and you will be there cheering her on!
Gotta love how this REAL Doctor actually breaks it down and does the meta Analysis studies examples as a base for his presentation. Love this guy as he's as real as they come !
I have been doing 16/8 fasting for last two years, it seems worked for my schedule and easy to do for a long term basis. But recently i heard Dr. Longo was stating that skipping breakfast is risky for heath, it also build the gall stone without eating the breakfast for long term !! I would love to hear what Dr. Jason Fung's expert explanations , thank you !
I never ate breakfast my entire life... I was never hungry so why would I eat? I'm 66 on September 18th ... never had any gall stone issues - this sounds like someone making it up as they go. I also am very careful who I listen or give my attention to...as I worked in health care for 25 yrs (as mental health) and witnessed a lot of b/s.
Thank you so much for common sense. Fasting saved my life, My question if you have time, How does growth hormone go up in Fasting but igf1 drop out. Im currently doing a low carb low protein diet, I usually do a month of water Fasting at the start of the year. Keto last year got me to 250 from 300, Then low methionine dropped me to 230. 30 left to target weight, Do you no if cavadextrin works?
IGF-1 is a factor in thyroid eye disease (an auto-immune disease that attacks cells behind the eyes, via in part IGF-1 receptors). As a family member is suffering with this condition right now, I wonder if Dr Fung you might comment on this topic, as we are trying to learn as much as we can.
00:03 IGF-1 is an important growth hormone that peaks during puberty and continuously drops until old age. 01:35 Administration of human growth hormone showed potential benefits in lean mass, body fat loss, bone density, and skin thickness. 03:11 Insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play a crucial role in overall growth and signaling cell growth. 04:46 Both high levels and very low levels of igf-1 are associated with poor outcomes 06:21 Protein and carbohydrates increase igf-1 levels the most, especially animal proteins like milk, cheese, and yogurt. 07:50 There is a trade-off between growth and longevity due to protein levels 09:19 Caloric restriction of less than 50% leads to a decrease in igf-1 10:49 Fasting with low calories can decrease IGF-1 levels and achieve a balance between highs and lows. Crafted by Merlin AI.
What are the implications here for the (very high protein) carnivore diet? Doing OMAD (daily feed window at 2 hours and daily IF at 22 HOURS, and periodic longer fasts) along with the carnivore diet meets this proper balancing Dr. Fung?
More protein will just drive insulin which works against IGF-1. So it’s better to just consume enough protein, and with carnivore that means either more fatty cuts or add in more fats like tallow or butter.
I like to watch these videos from another room while I prepare meals, etc., but I can barely hear it sitting right at my desktop. Is there any way you could raise the volume on these from now on?
I am high IGF 1. I have been sick since 2015 with something mysterious.. I'm a 54 year female..who has advanced muscle wasting, muscle weakness, twitching..very dry and very, very thin skin..you can see all my veins all over my body now..I also have developed breathing issues..like mild asthma.. I have been to several doctors..no one can figure it out.. I had a complete hysterectomy in 2010..due to large fibroids.. I eat a balanced diet that include organic eggs, butter, red meat, chicken etc..I consume some dairy and very little sugar.. I am but a shell of my former shelf..and my strength is diminishing by the day.. I have pre diabetes, "metabolic sydrome," heart disease, "Microvessel endothelial dysfunction," low bp, low pulse.. Just not thriving any more.. Can anyone help this deparate mom?
I’m very sorry you’re going through this. It’s a lot. Have you tried just beef, tallow and water for 3 months or longer? Some people react to eggs, diary, chicken, and even a little sugar, so a strict elimination diet might help. Pair it with fasting. I hope you recover soon. Hugs.
Dr Fung, awesome video as always. The more I have learned about calorie intake/ restriction/ eating enough.. more confused I get. See to lose weight, restrict by eating less or fasting. However the understanding is restrict to much, lower your bmr, sometimes permanently. I exercise almost everyday and am not sure if I am eating enough. If I am not fasting, I eat when I’m hungry. Which works out to 2 or 3 meals per day. The calorie counting is heavily debated. Your thoughts? Perhaps a video? Thanks!!!
Much of the information coming out of longevity research would appear to vilify protein and implicate it in a whole host of maladies, including cancer and decreased longevity, precisely because IGF-1 is elevated as a result of increased protein consumption. However, as professor Don Layman and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon have emphasized, low protein diets, even IF they attenuate the IGF-1 levels, have a dark side in that such protein restriction induces sarcopenia and produces decreased bone density. The latter two effects cause a great diminishment in the overall quality of life, not to mention also contribute to increased mortality. Who would want to live a long life, after all, if say the latter third of it consists of greater dependency, frailty, increased injury, and lower vitality? So a balanced approach would be to continue with a high level of protein consumption to retain muscle mass, followed by period caloric restriction or fasting to counterbalance the IGF-1 stimulation.
Hi..you might can help me..I am 54 and 3 years ago I started experiencing rapid muscle wasting, sarcopenia..and muscle weakness, extreme fatigue, weight gain.. very dry and extremely thin skin ..you can see my veins all over my body..My IGF levels were high..I have been to several doctors and no help. Low bp, muscle pain and twitching..

Truly helpful. Thank you Dr Jason! Can you please give your opinion on the zigzag diet for those of us who are stalled on if/keto? Also will taking amino acid supplements help boost hgh levels in those of us who are older?
Thank you Doctor. This was professional video about very important subject. If you want to live longer and also substantially reduce our risk of cancer then we must reduce growth factors and that means not only reducing carbs but also and especially protein.
My IGF-1 is 3.7. My Dr says that I am high risk for dementia. My dad died at 67 from dementia. I can sprint to increase my levels but at 60, I don’t know if I can always do this. She wants my levels at 5.2. I am struggling to increase it.
I’m confused about the calorie restriction recommendation, I thought calorie restriction was not a good thing because it signals your metabolism to slow down? Can you clear up this contradiction please?
Hi frome Paris, i was diagnosed having a kidney cancer 5cm stage 1b by incidentaloma. I rejected the nephrectomie et wanted active surveillance and fasting. All doctors rejected my choice. So now i m doing active surveillance by my self and intermittent fasting too. What do you think please , i am so isolanted because of my choice no doctor in Paris wants advise me 😭😭😭
You should probably cut it out, but chemo destroys the body so only do it if truly necessary. A typical fasting schedule for cancer is something like 3 days water only and 3 days eating low carb high fat. With some longer fasts if you can manage. It will help but you can't count on it to take out full blown cancer.
Dr. Fung. I have been searching for information on how fasting benefits or impacts Hereditary Hemochromatosis (Iron Overload). Any thoughts or information you may have? Thank you in advance.
I have Adult Human Growth Hormone Deficiency and am prescribed Norditropin injections. I am one week into ADF. 56 yo female with weight to lose. Should I be concerned with raising GH too much with fasting while I'm taking the injections?
Hi, thanks for the video and the information you provide. I wanted to ask a question - can we brush and use mouth wash during fasting period? My breath is a nightmare :/
You can but most toothpastes have things that take you out of ketosis for a short time or have other ill effects. You can also use oils or oil based tooth paste, which won't.
Are these _"things"_ in toothpastes absorbed through the mouth lining, @@LTPottenger? If that tiny amount takes you out of ketosis, I wonder if you were really in it.
@@KenJackson_US Then I guess you don't know anything, do you? Instead of asking rude questions try looking things up yourself. Now f off and stop wasting my time.

Dear dr Fung my question is a bit out of this subject but I am interested in your opinion on GLP-1(e.g. Dulaglutide) medication for diabetes or weight loss. From one of your lectures I remembered you had said that any diabetes medication that promotes insulin secretion might not be so good for us. How is it about those GLP-1 shots?
@@larabraver that was my thinking as well, but I wonder about the "fish oil" bc it is fatty acids. I will just adjust my dosing just to be safe. Thanks for replying
@@giraffesareselfish9563 More importantly, I wouldn't recommend taking any supplements on an empty stomach because you won't absorb most of them and will be making very expensive urine only :) They need to be taken with food.

Hi Dr. Fung. I'd like to ask you about AMPK. I try to incorporate IF as a part of my weight loss journey. I'm not diabetic but I do take Ozempic to help manage the hunger and my binge eating disorder. Could you please make a video on AMPK metabolic activator? And whether it can be considered to be taken as a supplement instead of, or together with Ozempic as an extra "booster" for hunger management and weight loss (daily or in periouds when you hit a plateau). Thank you.

Dr. Fung, what is your opinion on "rolling fasts"? I am doing a "rolling 48" meaning I fast for 48hours, have a good meal, fast 48 hours, have a good meal etc.
@@KenJackson_US Rolling fast means, you fast 48 hours have a meal, then fast 48 hours, have a meal and so forth. SO if I start fasting at 7pm thurs, I will not eat again till 7pm Saturday. I use the life app to keep track of time.
I would call that OMEOD (one meal every other day), @@whatyoucookingwillis4479. Eating a meal takes more than zero time, so you're not really fasting 48 hours, thus the confusion.
@@reubensingh1430 it will increase cause of high eating window, but on 16hrs. onwards will starting to decrease igf-1 because of eating window is short
Dear Doctor, you have told in one of your replies that glucose increases during fasting from stored glucose in your body. If glucose increases during fasting does insulin also increase simultaneously to counteract it? Also, I tested my blood glucose after I had coffee without sugar, approx. 10 mg/hdl increased. I had learned that it was OK to have coffee during fasting.

Fasting and feasting is the key to good health.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung. I'm in NZ watching your video last year and NZ got lockdown I started I f 16/8 18/6 20/4 and omad I was 74kg now 59kg. Thank you very much Dr Jason. You're safe a lot of lives, very appreciated. Blessings.

So cool to hear the car engine longevity analogy from someone other than me haha... I came up with that when I was about 15 years old (15 years ago) as I realised I had a very low metabolic rate/caloric requirement (and can build muscle very easily with little training and little protein, IE; 50-70g a day max and sub 2,000 calories). Since I was that age I was always saying I was going to live to 200, I completely quit sugar or any synthetic compounds around then, and have since done dozens of long terms fasts, including 7 day dry fasts. Now I just do a 7 day water fast at the end of every month, only eat 1 meal a day when not fasting, try to do low carb apart from my somewhat excessive beer intake haha... Haven't been ill once since then, so half of my life.
Back to the engine analogy, I always likened it to the difference between a low revving V8 engine that could last 100,000 miles without a rebuild compared to a 10,000+ RPM race car that can complete but a single race before being completely deteriorated.
Cheers from the UK and thank you for all of your work here!
Why aren't you dry fasting anymore? From my experience it's much more cleansing than a water fast.
@@SebHu711 I definitely agree that dry fasting is superior to water fasting for its health benefits, however I find it to necessitate resting a lot of the time as I would get quite lightheaded when getting up from sitting down etc... with water fasting I can continue with my days as usual, for instance I do bicycle courier work a few days a week and wouldn't be able to do that whilst dry fasting. Also being able to drink tea/coffee (without milk or sugar) really helps make things more enjoyable.
I'll certainly do more dry fasts in the future, but for now I'm happy with a 7 day water fast at the end of every month.
Thank you again Dr. Fung for your great explanation about this! I've learned so much and I'm so thankful 😊❤️🙏👍💪

I’m 42, regular body weight/BMI with no health problems.
I just got blood testing which I hadn’t done in 3 years, with the last year doing IF and mostly keto diet and substantial reduction of carbs intake.
My total cholesterol is 201, it was 164 in 2019. My LDL is 113, it was 93. Both values flagged as high (Regular values: Cholesterol
Don’t sweat total cholesterol and LDL. Both tend to rise as a fat burner. That is why your trigs lower. Modern medicine in general doesn’t get that
Higher cholesterol increases Mortality. Do not base your cholesterol on old false testing. You really have to do more research on cholesterol. Start watching RUclips vids on the cholesterol hoax.
@Nella Vee And then you woke up.
@Nella Vee getting desperate aren’t you?
I have been doing If, 17-20 hrs per day 5 days a week, for about 3 months. My blood glucose went up 10 points compared to my previous blood test which was already borderline and triglycerides are now high! I don't understand because I totally changed my diet (low carbs, more lean protein and low cal veggies, no sugar) since I have been doing IF.

You are so kind to do this. Do you have any advice for vegans and vegetarians? If I missed a video on it, I apologize. I read your book in two days. Thank you for any help.
I started intermittent fasting at the tender age of about 11 in 1976. I just wanted to sleep longer. So I skipped breakfast. About 3 yrs ago I started living on one meal only and kept my weight in check but at the higher end of the what the bmi allows us. And I am exercising almost daily (cycling). For about half a year my weight has been creeping up. Now I am about 7 kg above what is allowed. It is interesting how my body wants to keep my weight at a certain level.
It's a fight, u are just used to eating rich foods. U have to eat lower calorie dense food to fill up. Just follow the calorie density chart.
Maybe it's about what you're eating. A salad heaped with veggies and a fruit smoothie on the side is like a total of 400-900 calories. Now if it's white pasta with alfredo and a side of fried chicken...then that's a lot.
Acromegaly is a rare disease where shortened lifespans are due to the ravaging effects of very high IGF-1 levels. I manage my life with it as best I can via IF and cyclic Keto. I'll try lowering my caloric intake to see what this does. As I just did blood work a week ago and see my endocrinologist tommorow, we shall have a basis on which to drive at a later appointment. Thanks for the heads up, Dr Fung!! I'll try to remember send Dr Harris this vid!
THIS! I'm always looking for how this is or isn't working for those with Acro (my God Daughter had a severe case). Thanking you for your comment.
@@TinaICXCNIKA I have been on this journey for over 15 years. I'm a rare GH secretive tumor Acro...and surgery failed. Octreotide and lanreotide were horrific,as was one other drug they tried. Her milage may vary! However I am fairing much better now with excellent nutrition, cyclical keto ( I stay on longer than most however) and 3x a week IF. I make sure not to EF, because that raises GH levels. Find what works For Her,and never give up. Just this last Dec I was in a horrible car wreck which necessitated cervical surgery to save my life. Last month at 3 month follow up: Neurosurgeon PA " Wow, your vertabra are solid! I've never seen anyone this healed this well at 3 months out!". Me" Acromegaly for the win!" ...you gotta find your humor and sunlight when ya can ! Good luck to your god daughter- it's rough, but she can help herself, and you will be there cheering her on!
As a BRCA2 mutation carrier, this is interesting to me as I'm at higher risk for all of the cancers mentioned.
Excellent information - another reason to keep on fasting once a week - for me.
right on, well put

I have been doing 16/8 fasting for last two years, it seems worked for my schedule and easy to do for a long term basis. But recently i heard Dr. Longo was stating that skipping breakfast is risky for heath, it also build the gall stone without eating the breakfast for long term !! I would love to hear what Dr. Jason Fung's expert explanations , thank you !
I never ate breakfast my entire life... I was never hungry so why would I eat? I'm 66 on September 18th ... never had any gall stone issues - this sounds like someone making it up as they go. I also am very careful who I listen or give my attention to...as I worked in health care for 25 yrs (as mental health) and witnessed a lot of b/s.

Fasting saved my life,
My question if you have time,
How does growth hormone go up in Fasting but igf1 drop out.
Im currently doing a low carb low protein diet,
I usually do a month of water Fasting at the start of the year.
Keto last year got me to 250 from 300,
Then low methionine dropped me to 230.
30 left to target weight,
Do you no if cavadextrin works?
What's your weekly diet & fasting schedule? Thanks
He’s mentioned it in his books. If I recall he’s mainly an OMAD to 2 meals a day in a short window.
De Fung how can I eliminate fatty liver and also diagnosed with pre diabetes how can I eliminate both. Your consul will be appreciated.

As an orthodox Jew we have 5 days each year of dry fasts, and 2 of these are 24+ hrs. Difficult but I am glad to hear about the health benefits.
IGF-1 is a factor in thyroid eye disease (an auto-immune disease that attacks cells behind the eyes, via in part IGF-1 receptors). As a family member is suffering with this condition right now, I wonder if Dr Fung you might comment on this topic, as we are trying to learn as much as we can.

00:03 IGF-1 is an important growth hormone that peaks during puberty and continuously drops until old age.
01:35 Administration of human growth hormone showed potential benefits in lean mass, body fat loss, bone density, and skin thickness.
03:11 Insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play a crucial role in overall growth and signaling cell growth.
04:46 Both high levels and very low levels of igf-1 are associated with poor outcomes
06:21 Protein and carbohydrates increase igf-1 levels the most, especially animal proteins like milk, cheese, and yogurt.
07:50 There is a trade-off between growth and longevity due to protein levels
09:19 Caloric restriction of less than 50% leads to a decrease in igf-1
10:49 Fasting with low calories can decrease IGF-1 levels and achieve a balance between highs and lows.

What are the implications here for the (very high protein) carnivore diet? Doing OMAD (daily feed window at 2 hours and daily IF at 22 HOURS, and periodic longer fasts) along with the carnivore diet meets this proper balancing Dr. Fung?
I want to know that too. OMAD and animal based diet here..
More protein will just drive insulin which works against IGF-1. So it’s better to just consume enough protein, and with carnivore that means either more fatty cuts or add in more fats like tallow or butter.
I like to watch these videos from another room while I prepare meals, etc., but I can barely hear it sitting right at my desktop. Is there any way you could raise the volume on these from now on?

I am high IGF 1. I have been sick since 2015 with something mysterious.. I'm a 54 year female..who has advanced muscle wasting, muscle weakness, twitching..very dry and very, very thin skin..you can see all my veins all over my body now..I also have developed breathing issues..like mild asthma..
I have been to several doctors..no one can figure it out..
I had a complete hysterectomy in 2010..due to large fibroids..
I eat a balanced diet that include organic eggs, butter, red meat, chicken etc..I consume some dairy and very little sugar..
I am but a shell of my former shelf..and my strength is diminishing by the day..
I have pre diabetes, "metabolic sydrome," heart disease, "Microvessel endothelial dysfunction," low bp, low pulse..
Just not thriving any more..
Can anyone help this deparate mom?
I’m very sorry you’re going through this. It’s a lot. Have you tried just beef, tallow and water for 3 months or longer? Some people react to eggs, diary, chicken, and even a little sugar, so a strict elimination diet might help. Pair it with fasting. I hope you recover soon. Hugs.
Try estrogen. It really is necessary.
If you quit eating meat, refined grains, and limited dairy products, you will see improvement. Plant-based protein is the way to go.
@@hobbyfarmer1452 no, plant-based is not the way to go.
Not everything has to do with diet.
Do you have any links to the studies you reference?
Hi Jason, request you to provide some light on Millets.
Dr Fung, awesome video as always. The more I have learned about calorie intake/ restriction/ eating enough.. more confused I get. See to lose weight, restrict by eating less or fasting. However the understanding is restrict to much, lower your bmr, sometimes permanently. I exercise almost everyday and am not sure if I am eating enough. If I am not fasting, I eat when I’m hungry. Which works out to 2 or 3 meals per day. The calorie counting is heavily debated. Your thoughts? Perhaps a video? Thanks!!!
eat whole foods to satiation at set meal times no calorie counting, 36-96 h fasts for quick weight loss. That is what he promotes.
Much of the information coming out of longevity research would appear to vilify protein and implicate it in a whole host of maladies, including cancer and decreased longevity, precisely because IGF-1 is elevated as a result of increased protein consumption. However, as professor Don Layman and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon have emphasized, low protein diets, even IF they attenuate the IGF-1 levels, have a dark side in that such protein restriction induces sarcopenia and produces decreased bone density. The latter two effects cause a great diminishment in the overall quality of life, not to mention also contribute to increased mortality. Who would want to live a long life, after all, if say the latter third of it consists of greater dependency, frailty, increased injury, and lower vitality? So a balanced approach would be to continue with a high level of protein consumption to retain muscle mass, followed by period caloric restriction or fasting to counterbalance the IGF-1 stimulation.
Hi..you might can help me..I am 54 and 3 years ago I started experiencing rapid muscle wasting, sarcopenia..and muscle weakness, extreme fatigue, weight gain.. very dry and extremely thin skin ..you can see my veins all over my body..My IGF levels were high..I have been to several doctors and no help. Low bp, muscle pain and twitching..

I’m confused about the calorie restriction recommendation, I thought calorie restriction was not a good thing because it signals your metabolism to slow down? Can you clear up this contradiction please?
It's an outdated methodology
Hi frome Paris, i was diagnosed having a kidney cancer 5cm stage 1b by
incidentaloma. I rejected the nephrectomie et wanted active surveillance and fasting. All doctors rejected my choice. So now i m doing active surveillance by my self and intermittent fasting too. What do you think please , i am so isolanted because of my choice no doctor in Paris wants advise me 😭😭😭
Rejecting doctors' advice when you have cancer is very brave. I would never be that brave.
You should probably cut it out, but chemo destroys the body so only do it if truly necessary. A typical fasting schedule for cancer is something like 3 days water only and 3 days eating low carb high fat. With some longer fasts if you can manage. It will help but you can't count on it to take out full blown cancer.
@@LTPottenger ok i will do that who knows
Zero carbs. Cancer cells need sugar. It can't hurt, and might help. See Thomas Seyfried on cancer and carbs! Best wishes!
Dr. Fung. I have been searching for information on how fasting benefits or impacts Hereditary Hemochromatosis (Iron Overload). Any thoughts or information you may have? Thank you in advance.
I have Adult Human Growth Hormone Deficiency and am prescribed Norditropin injections. I am one week into ADF. 56 yo female with weight to lose. Should I be concerned with raising GH too much with fasting while I'm taking the injections?
Hi, thanks for the video and the information you provide. I wanted to ask a question - can we brush and use mouth wash during fasting period? My breath is a nightmare :/
You can but most toothpastes have things that take you out of ketosis for a short time or have other ill effects. You can also use oils or oil based tooth paste, which won't.
Are these _"things"_ in toothpastes absorbed through the mouth lining, @@LTPottenger? If that tiny amount takes you out of ketosis, I wonder if you were really in it.
@@KenJackson_US Then I guess you don't know anything, do you? Instead of asking rude questions try looking things up yourself. Now f off and stop wasting my time.

By eating more when you eat.
Thanks Doc for this very important video, i think this is one of the most important videos you have ever posted. So i will be definitely sharing. 💙💛💚💜🧡🌈
My Question is around Reducing 50% calories, how do we know the right calories we suppose to be consuming each day.. because i never really gone with calories on my daily nutrition. But, i will possibly start to calculate each food and weight. (Or i need too) 😆
It's outdated and won't work. Long fasts might but that is not proven.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Zakat( Tax or to purify) on everything and Zakat on the body is fasting.”
Dear dr Fung my question is a bit out of this subject but I am interested in your opinion on GLP-1(e.g. Dulaglutide) medication for diabetes or weight loss. From one of your lectures I remembered you had said that any diabetes medication that promotes insulin secretion might not be so good for us. How is it about those GLP-1 shots?
they can kill you

Would a vitamin supplement, most notable Omega 3 fatty acids or fish oil break a fast?
I'd say no, because they'd provide hardly any calories.
@@larabraver that was my thinking as well, but I wonder about the "fish oil" bc it is fatty acids. I will just adjust my dosing just to be safe. Thanks for replying
@@giraffesareselfish9563 More importantly, I wouldn't recommend taking any supplements on an empty stomach because you won't absorb most of them and will be making very expensive urine only :) They need to be taken with food.

usually yes, but if it is 100% oil then no.
Dr I've been fasting during Ramadan aka dry fasting and I've continued to fast like this after Ramadan ended. I heard that it's equivalent to three days of water fasting what's more beneficial water fast or dry fast?
Hi Dr. Fung.
I'd like to ask you about AMPK.
I try to incorporate IF as a part of my weight loss journey.
I'm not diabetic but I do take Ozempic to help manage the hunger and my binge eating disorder.
Could you please make a video on AMPK metabolic activator? And whether it can be considered to be taken as a supplement instead of, or together with Ozempic as an extra "booster" for hunger management and weight loss (daily or in periouds when you hit a plateau).
Thank you.
I will talk on that later.

He can't give medical advice but basically if you take those meds while fasting it's possible to kill yourself so consult a dr about this in person.

36+ hours at least once a week or reduce calories to 1200 a day, which is unrealistic for most people.
Will short fast 16 hour increase igf1
Intermittent fasting is a game changer and helped me lose 30 lbs so I can't say enough about it. I feel so much better.

I've been omad carnivore 4 months now, and my weight has been stalled at least 2 months. Why? I'm 57 y/o female. I'm getting so frustrated and bored. I don't cheat.
I'm 56 what gets me losing again is fat fasting
Drop calories. Deficit... Stick with it and it'll have to happen
Fast longer.
your body has gotten used to it , switch it up do omad either at different times or every other day. Check out Dr Eric burg Dc to solve this problem he has more information on it
@@brileekristmas1304 thanks, but because of work I can't do it at different times. And if I did it every other day (ate normally, then omad next day I'd probably gain weight)
I was looking for a T shirt " I FUNG do you?" "Fung fast" in v neck. Lol anyone know where to get one? Lol.

Dr. Fung, what is your opinion on "rolling fasts"? I am doing a "rolling 48" meaning I fast for 48hours, have a good meal, fast 48 hours, have a good meal etc.
Does that mean you eat your meal an hour later every other day?
@@KenJackson_US Rolling fast means, you fast 48 hours have a meal, then fast 48 hours, have a meal and so forth. SO if I start fasting at 7pm thurs, I will not eat again till 7pm Saturday. I use the life app to keep track of time.
I would call that OMEOD (one meal every other day), @@whatyoucookingwillis4479. Eating a meal takes more than zero time, so you're not really fasting 48 hours, thus the confusion.
It's fine and many people he's shown as examples do this
@@KenJackson_US understand the confusion and you are correct. But it is close enough (20 mins) to 48 hours to call it 48 hours.
Does it decrease igf1 ??
yes it's decrese igf-1 on fasting that's why on kids short fast only..because need more igf-1 for growth...maybe 12hrs. fasting everyday on kids
@@morkie28 so will short fast increase igf1
@@reubensingh1430 it will increase cause of high eating window, but on 16hrs. onwards will starting to decrease igf-1 because of eating window is short
Why did the editor want to flash 2 seconds of referals and charts? This is not the statin study.
Dear Doctor, you have told in one of your replies that glucose increases during fasting from stored glucose in your body. If glucose increases during fasting does insulin also increase simultaneously to counteract it? Also, I tested my blood glucose after I had coffee without sugar, approx. 10 mg/hdl increased. I had learned that it was OK to have coffee during fasting.
no, it won't raise insulin
