This proves that weight watchers ruined women's hormones.... they literally used to count all calories as equal... eat what you like they said... just don't go over the points 😂 far out, it's so wrong
I wanna know why I feel angry and kinda sick when I am hungry.. about 3-4 hours after last meal... its gross.. 😢 I feel yuck if I go too long without something
So, just HOW was his opinion "BRUTAL"?
❤@@CharGC123
Crazy was an insert that came in a clothing order package that advertised a monthly subscription for semiglutide injections (with online support). Crazy!
I was a preteen/teen in the 70’s. We ate cookies , bread and jam, drank pop etc. We did not eat ALL the time. When we did eat, after, we went outside and played for hours until dinner. We didn’t eat in between meals. Eating out was a treat. Maybe twice a year. We ate real sugar, not fake. Almost everyone was thin. So thin ,that people now would think we were too thin. Our mother’s cooked for us. It’s not rocket science.
I miss the 70's😅
Exactly
I too grew up in the 70’s very few of my friends were over weight. I was always a good eater and thin.
And we walked everywhere!
I did that in 90s and was always kept a healthy , we're not suposed to be eating so much no matter what it is.❤
I watched this entire video waiting for information about ozempic from Dr. Fung. I didn’t hear any “brutally honest” opinions on ozempic, or much, for that matter, about ozempic at all. I always appreciate listening to Dr. Fung. I don’t appreciate clickbait captions that draw me in and waste my time.
So learned nothing?. He did talk about it and nothing bad too sat about it.
I’m sorry this drug was made for diabetics. To help with their sugar levels. It’s insulin! I’m sorry there has to be a side effect for people taking it to lose weight!
Ozempic is for diabetics. Now people are taking it to lose weight. People who are diabetic can even find their insulin of Ozempic because of people taking it as a fast result of losing weight it’s ridiculous.
@@kristijones5325Hi, Kristi. In fairness, you are right: It is not that Dr. Fung said nothing about Ozempic, nor that one could not learn “something,” particularly if one knew nothing about Ozempic. What I object to is the practice among so many RUclipsrs of trying to create sensational captions that don’t deliver on what they promise, created merely to generate as many views as they can. I certainly understand what content creators are trying to do, but in this instance, Dr. Fung gave a generic description of Ozempic and how it words that I can google in 1 min. What those of us who know him hoped for, I think, (and the reason I watched) was because I thought he would discuss how Ozempic compares to other strategies, or possible downsides (or upsides) for Ozempic over other strategies-or some sort of information that I can’t find everywhere else.. Ozempic is not prescribed for weight loss (or at least it is not supposed to be), but only for those with Type 2 diabetes…I was expecting to hear more beyond a description of how it works that I can read somewhere else, from one of the world’s experts on fasting. The caption implied that we were going to hear something earth-shattering.
He can’t tell the truth about it.
Dr Fung is one of the most honest humans, Doctors we have. Not many out there 😢
25 yrs ago, when I moved to USA, I gained a lot of weight. It’s not that I suddenly ate more here, it was the quality of the food, that I had no idea it might be different. Same problem with all my friends who moved here and even family members that just visited for few weeks, we all got bigger. In my country we simply didn’t have access to processed food, but also we didn’t have obese people. Of course it changed now
The FDA wants us to be sick. They are the government agency that allows poison in our food!!
You are so right! Over processed food is is not only high in calories but also very low in nutrients. A lack of nutrients can increase starvation hormones which slow metabolism. It’s essential to take a good supplement
You are right. Same happened to me. But I always try not to eat anything from boxes or cans.
One time during a Cruise trip, I gained 12 pounds in 6 days.. and I did gym, walks, swimming, and all the activities on and out a board.. and I didn't drink soda nor beer.. I simply didn't understand what happened to my body. The same thing occurred during my 3 day trip to Las Vegas. Maybe I don't bear all-inclusive at all. It takes me 3 months to lose overweight that I gained in 3 days😂
I’m just sharing my experience, I’m not an expert. I grew up with food uncertainty and my mom had an eating disorder. My views of food were warped. I’d go from eating as much as I could to starving for days on end. Every food choice I made was to avoid weight gain. And what’s really freaky is that I wasn’t completely unlike my friends. We all “splurged” and had to “be good.” But as an adult I just got sick of the mental and emotional toll. So I decided I would eat 3 meals per day, no snacks, no skipping meals. I did a spreadsheet of a bunch of meal combos and realized that if I stuck to the recipes I had outlined, it was impossible to exceed my calories. This has been a life saver. When I was so up or down w food I thought I must have something wrong w me. Addiction or something medical. But it’s all evened out. Every once in a while, I’ll get the thought like “oh that was so good, have another plate and skip the next meal” but I follow my one rule: 3 meals, no more no less, and those thoughts go away and hardly ever come anymore. It’s been healing tbh. I think a real problem for a lot of us is that food is marketed like a product, always advertising so we’ll buy more but we also objectify our bodies and this combo creates a living hell. Now I see food is my fuel and my body is my vehicle for life. For what it’s worth, this is how I’ve found peace. ❤️
🙇♀️❤️

Congratulations on being so mindful. The diet industry would not like your healthy comments! I'm happy you found peace and balance.
Your post was really interesting to read. I hope you continue to be happy and healthy.
Thank you for sharing this!
I grew up in the sixties and seventies. Foods were sweetened with sugar back then. When food and beverage companies started replacing sugar with corn syrup (a cheap filler/ preservative) and also adding seed oils, people became huge and started getting fatty liver and diabetes at higher rates. Sugar is metabolized by every cell in your body. Corn syrup is only metabolized in your liver.
This is true. It is so annoying that the government thinks they are going to make us healthier by limiting our sugar intake. The unintended consequence of that was companies just started substituting, high fructose corn syrup for sugar. They made it worse, not better.
@@mariabunch3541They know very well, but they need to sell corn. I’ve found that the only way we can control our health is to cook our food. Every single processed food or fast option uses seed oil and corn syrup and dairy powder for no reason other than profit.
Agree!
That is why I now have a cynical view of the U.S and its interests...even countries that are not "superpower" nations still use reg. sugar...it's the U.S that has nefarious intentions😡
We need them to stop putting this shit In everything! The way we prop up these corporations that are literally killing us is disgusting.
My husband is on Monjaro. He’s lost 80 pounds and started exercising regularly because of the weight loss. Hes healthier than he’s been in years
Wow
I'm happy to hear that. I'm tempted to talk to a doctor about these new drugs.
I started Ozempic and lost 30 pounds in like 2.5 months then my insurance stopped covering it but allowed me to go on Victoza which is liraglutide another GLP1 and I’ve lost another 25 pounds. The weight does shed quite quickly and easily. I feel so much lighter and have more energy because of it. I used to dread having to bend over and pick things up because I was out of shape. Now I bend like nothing I’m so much happier with life than ever before 🙂
My friend is on that also. He really likes it.
@@dori-that is great. ❤
@@dori-I'm wondering what happens when you stop taking it.
"if you think about it" is one Dr Fung's most common ways of starting a sentence. It makes me smile every time.
Thank you Dr. Fung. I was 310 pds for the last 5 years with hip arthritis for the last 2 years. Fasted lost inches but never saw weight loss on scale. My physician was not really interested in helping me lose weight. After weeks of crying and beating myself up. I changed medical plans and went to a wonderful hospital new physician and Ortho doctor. They worked together to assist me in getting a hip replacement and losing weight. I was advised that I was obese and I qualified for the med Ozempic and I was put on it. And it worked wonders since October 23 I have lost lost so much weight, because I really lost my appetite But the best part is my Ortho Physician introduced me to your channel and eating healthy fasting and exercise. And I am so healthy with no more high BP meds. Had a full physical and I'm in good physical shape and will be having hip surgery soon. And I'm so happy.
Congratulations on your success! My doc said my weight is fine, which was 170 at 5’2”. That’s not okay!!! IMO they want us too heavy so we’ll buy more pills. I recently started eating carnivore and in just a few days the arthritis in my back went from a pain level of 8 to 3 and 4. I’m hoping it will improve further.
Did you have any bad side effects like diarrhea or hurt stomach headaches
@@laurae2793 I'm a male, I weight 132lb at 5'3 and even though I'm build stockier rather than thin, muscle wise, I consider myself 11lbs overweight...and I feel that. It's scary to thnk (based on your name) that a female is being told 170 is fine.
This is a big issue with the world. Everyone has been offended by the truth so that now seemingly even doctors go along with it. Or that they base it on the 'average' which is scary given an 'average' doesn't imply normal and health...merely what everyone else averages out to.
Get a new doc!!
My morbid obesity had very little to do with hunger. I was addicted to eating, to the food, to the satisfying feel for the few minutes before the horrid over-stuffed feeling. I was a mess. I don’t understand all of the emotional reasons, perhaps, but it was as heart wrenching pain in every way.
I’m just a few pounds away from a “healthy” weight now. I’m eating high-fat keto. The excess skin is shrinking- it’s my own personal miracle than can be replicated by others.
Dr Jason Fung and others spreading the good news is wonderful.
After over 30 years in and out of Overeaters Anonymous, I learned not to rely on fads, shots, pills and other outside “cures”. Anything can help for a season, and then we deal with the damage of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves.
After all of that I had no real answers to stopping the addiction… until now.
Congratulations! That's incredible.
Would you mind elaborating on some of the foods you eat. I just started ketovore and would like some ideas of foods 😁
❤
You will be free of food addiction because you deserve to be. You've turned your life around. All the very best to you, Jeff.
Well done Jeff, wish you the best ❤
As a kid in the 70s we had McDonalds or fast food maybe once every 5 months as a special treat. Otherwise we ate 3 meals a day with a snack being fruit or a cookie that Mum made. We played with our friends making up our own games and never came in until it was dinner. Our parents always knew where we were and everyone watched out for each other. Any fights were settled between us kids and rarely was a parent involved or even knew about it. Today kids are used to being offended by the smallest things! You can't have a birthday party without inviting the entire class for fear of someone's feelings being hurt. Not everything is bad today ... it is like anything. Moderation! Too many parents are giving their kids the control and sending the message that they are just there to basically serve their kids every need. All my parents had to do was give me the "look" and I instantly knew to stop or I would not get to watch TV or play outside with friends. No negotiations! No actually meant NO. Okay I am done ranting. ✌
Agreed 100%
Not a rant it was plain truth n a fact of many of our lives, thanks
I am so sick of this virtues signaling from late boomers and Gen xers when you all had high teen pregnancies, drugs cigerette smokers and girl molesters. Every generation has issues. Stfu already. Everyone else tired of your hypocrisy
You're describing exactly what everyone's childhood was like until maybe the 80s. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and that was it.
There were almost zero fat people. Those who were fat were considered to have let themselves go and to have a serious problem.
True obesity was extremely rare!
Housework was also much more strenuous than it is now, and most women stayed home to keep up with all the work involved and were raising kids, cooking real meals.
It was very possible to live on one income, even a "blue collar" income was plenty.
Even in the 90s in Ireland it was like this. I can distinctly remember only going to Burger King or McDonald's on St. Patrick's day or another rare occasion 😂 Tea in a flask and some sandwiches otherwise. It's actually made me think I need to start doing this again as an adult 🤯
My brother in law developed severe, chronic pancreatitis and diarrhea after taking Ozempic for a short time - all to lose 20 pounds - and now he literally can't eat anything without getting terribly sick. Needless to say, he'd rather be fat! Beware!!!
My sister was almost dieing
Was he a Diabetic?
I agree I got gallbladder psi it took me two weeks together painting go away. Went off Ozempic right away and now feel fine. They put these meds on the marketwaytoofast without proper and thorough testing. When I was on it my appetite got less and less. I was just not interested in food and got full after a few bites. All I managed to accomplish is make myself sick. And theyraisedtheprice Fromm $45 to$200+ in the two months I was on it. I am on Medicare and just turned 73. I do have diabetes but itis onder control. There has to be abetted solution and/ or more testing on this product. Now I ❤ method with an 8hourwindowinwhich I can eat. We will see how that works. Good luck. Wish you well
Sharon Osbourne is the same.
I’ve heard about the severe diarrhea from a few people…no thanks.
Dr Jason Fung is a legend and a blessing to humanity. Three years later I’m still fasting and doing OMAD - one meal a day. Thank you 🙏
Also, long fasting overnight . I eat at 6 pm and not until 10 am the next morning.
Me also I have lost 130 I eat one time a day went from 330 to 225
This is terrible for women. The absolute worst for hormones.
@@wowwow5725 I’m sorry but that is absolutely 100% untrue. The main reason I even started doing it was for severe hormonal imbalance. It has been a god sent and I highly recommend it. I suffered for years in the ‘health care’ system before learning this.
A blessing to humanity? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Love Dr Fung, how he completely understands our battle without having suffered from obesity
He’s empathetic without being indulgent or a sucker.
Just the facts no emotion…
BREAKING NEWS if you want to curb your appetite, reduce hunger then eat pistachios. Much healthier and little side effects. And yummy!!! Stop drugging yourself.

You didn’t suffer you made a choice.
It’s so crazy to me how many of us will just take a drug to solve a problem with NO concerns at all about the consequences of using pharmaceuticals. There is a cost to your body. You can’t just alter our natural bodily processes without a price.
Not just that but surely so many people now just 'cheating' creates a very different paradigm mentally. And also for their kids. Why actually look after yourself when you can just take pills and medicate. It's just more of the same shit American's have been complaining about...big pharma getting them addicted to stuff...dressed up as something else.
Most did the hard work to get fat...so do the hard work to get health. As well as all the complications you cause, why inject yourself with fabricated objects when there is a natural way to achieve the same goal...albeit with hard work...something no-one seems to want to do now.
That’s right. The quick fix always has a price to pay. Natural supplements are far better
Everyone is looking for the "MAGIC PILL"!!!
Same mentality that took the experimental poke ,
Quit sugar 100%. YOu'l get the ozempic effects without the costs, gross needles & or causing shortages
Yip, me too
@@darlenegattus8190 amazing how junk food & sugar mess up the metabolism. U don't know till you quit
Dr. Fung’s research has been a huge part of my healing from severe, lifetime obesity and the metabolic diseases that were the result. Grateful to him, his research associate Megan Ramos and entire team. They have changed my world with their proven, DOABLE, scientific approach to permanent healing, nutrition and habit change. Their books and teaching show the way. There is HOPE.
The man's a genius as far as I'm concerned.
He's an absolute saviour. 😁👍
@@ShipCreek The good news is he's far from alone. More and more physiologically savvy doctors are joining in this quest for health and freedom from diseases of modern society.
Yes--my husband happened to pick up Dr. Fung's "Obesity Code" at a little free library when he was dropping off some of our books there. I started to read it, but to be honest hadn't expected much. But his section on intermittent fasting was inspiring. Six months ago I decided to try fasting every other day--since then I've lost over 75 lbs, while *gaining* muscle! This has been a real game changer for me!
I do think it’s a personal choice. My dad has diabetes and still eats processed carbs and sugar (he lost his left arm in a car accident due to a diabetic blackout). My brother(overweight and smoked) and mom (who classifies as obese) have high blood pressure (bro had a stroke that left his left side paralyzed at 39). My parents still smoke. They don’t exercise and they eat whatever they want and are on meds. I was raised by them, we live 5 minutes apart. Environment is not the problem. I still exercise everyday and avoid fried food, avoid sugar, don’t smoke, cut back heavily on alcohol, not on meds. I pack my lunches and snacks to have healthy foods outside of the house so I don’t depend on takeout/ fast food. I chose to educate myself and avoid unhealthy environments and influences. If I chose to let my environment control me, I would be like my family🤷🏻♀️ I had to undo so many bad habits I inherited and train the good ones I created.
Sound like environmental factors got hold of your family tho.
I don't think you can underestimate the problem culture has on most people. You did well to break that cycle
Good for you for choosing to educate yourself and to start this lifelong journey. There are so many good channels here, for exercise I love “Madfit” and “Boho Yoga”. I also walk 3 miles everyday which takes less than 1 hour. For food I love “Spain on a Fork” and “ Mediterranean Minutes”. I’m also married to someone who exercises regularly and eats a healthy diet which makes it that much easier for me. Keep up the good work, you won’t regret choosing a healthy lifestyle.
From what you have described, that sounds like your environment. You don't inherit bad food habits you observe and pick them up consciously and unconsciously. Good on you for breaking those bad habits.
It’s like you broke a karmic cycle. So difficult to do. Excellent self awareness. I bet you broke other programming too.
Proud of you…it’s not your parents fault completely either, there are societal ills that make ppl stresssed and work hard and not able to take care of themselves.
I was convinced for years I couldn't lose weight unless I had surgery or diet pills. I was sort of guided into this idea that obesity is a condition that can't be fixed with healthy habits, I'm not sure where that started but it had to be early 2010s. Two years ago I decided to lose weight the classic way. I've lost 90lbs by myself, no meds, no injections, no surgery. Just reducing calories. No exercise, even. I have 15lbs to go. I still eat fast food. I just eat less. I still eat cookies and sweets, just less. I don't even track calories. I just reduced portions and sizes. It actually works.
How many calories? Thank you
@@AndressChilds I didn't really count calories, only visibly reduced portion sizes. Or, I'd eat one of an item instead of two. I would say I'd keep calories between 1500 to 1800 nut sometimes over that. I am currently at 100lbs lost as of today!
Congratulations!😊
The problem is what works for one person doesn't necessarily mean that it will work that way for another due to our different physiological makeups.
Congratulations! I wish you well. You have done so well so far and are on the home stretch. GoodLuck to you!
I am a 70 something, and l had 40 pounds that needed to come off, l tried every diet on the planet, but l took it on and decided to no sugar and watch that sodium, and my weight came off in six months and guess what? I won’t put it back on cause that’s how l eat now, So l don’t have to worry about putting it back on, do it the normal way, and l never dreamed it would come off. IT’s sugar and sodium that’s causing all weight gain.
This has been my argument if your mind doesn't change you will go right back to the same habits. Thank you for your story.
I’m post menopause. I started eating MORE real food and exercising at least 1 to 6 days a week… I lost 40 pounds basically by not dieting and doing fun things and not stressing about it..
no woman is post menopause, once we stop having periods completely, we are IN MENOPAUSE for the rest of our life. it is the last stage of life before we die. Now, I am thrilled you are doing so well. Nothing worked for me until I went on Hormone replacement. When you are so deficient in estrogen and progesterone, you become insulin resistant. the hormones fix all that. but yes, exercise, like walking, cycling, swimming, or whatever you enjoy. you hit the nail on the head. stress causes bad things. we must enjoy our life and not stress or stress eat or over exercise as that also causes stress!
Yes women can be post menopause. Talk to an obgyn or endocrinologist they will explain it. She did a great job and realized what she needed to do.
Post menopause = Heaven.....Gone...LOL
This whole video is BS…..the food is so addictive now….everyone eats FF and much less home cooking….its no wonder everyone is fat
@@janicenalley5812 I think that seriously reducing how much we eat out was a contributing factor - but you’re right, it’s nearly impossible to cut out all fast food and processed food. Moderation and stress reduction are so important!
What a brilliant Nephrologist!! His book THE OBESITY CODE details fasting that has helped this old senior. Just 26 lbs to shed.
Fasting is a silly gimmick. Could have done the same thing eating five times a day.
@@donwinstonwhy is it a gimmick?
@@UglyRugby Because you can do the same thing by just eating fewer calories. There is no benefit of any kind from fasting when compared to reducing your calories.
@@donwinstonThats not true. Fasting reduces insulin. Fasting does an extremely important function called autophagy. This scavenges damaged cells and such. Constantly eating eliminates this important function. Autophagy is what is responsible for shrinking excess skin after weight loss. Many think that it can prevent cancer and other maladies. It also affects calorie burning.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 So what if it reduces insulin. There is no reason to do that. Any autophagy increase is BS. At some point you've got to end your fast. If you make up for the calories lost during fasting you will wipe out all of your autophagy gains. Fasting causes people to LOSE MUSCLE. It encourages binging and yoyo dieting. It also can be dangerous for people prone to low blood sugar levels. No reputable health authority or health professional in the world will recommend it.
Thank you Dr Fung!
You're saving lives and we so appreciate your work!
The man who changed my life 6 years ago...... Fungster a Legend ❤
❤
The one thing that finally worked for me is time-restricted feeding. Pretty much every day I don’t eat breakfast and will have my first meal around noon (+ or - 1 hour). I usually have my second meal around 5 or 6 pm. This gives me a 16-18 hr fast every day. I highly recommend Dr. Fung’s book, The Obesity Code. It has made a impact on my life.
yeah, in the 70's we called it Hit the Ground Running and No Time for Breakfast and eating dinner at dinner time - not TRF (eyeroll)
Yes, intermittent fasting. It also provides a ton of other health befits such as lowering cholesterol and blood sugar. My doctor recommended this (and I’m not even overweight, but she was concerned about signs of pre-diabetes).
That is the only thing that works for me and helps with menopause too
@@KJB0001Oh you're just a superior creature because of the decade you were born in
Oh, no. You've just allowed cognitive biases grow in your mind until they control you in your old age.
Lost 267 pounds. I ate all the time.
I have a high metabolism. It is activated by activity.
A little work, I lose a lot of weight.
Mesomorphs just have it easy
nobody mentions that overeating on the mental side is caused by anxiety.... also constant hunger can be a sign of insuline resistance related illnesses.
Anxiety is one of many
Overeating is caused by eating simple carbohydrates which stimulates the dopamine reward pathway. The brain wants more more more.
@@jimbojimbo6873yes depression also
I like to eat...I like food...Thats my problem
Incorrect
I took Ozempic for four months. Three days out of every week I suffered from abdominal pain and was miserable. I was told I would “get used to it”. I had to quit taking it because I couldn’t hold down a job while feeling so miserable. I never lost a pound, either.
Same- I was in such pain I thought I had amoebic dysentery and yet the nurse kept telling me to keep taking it, I would get used to it. 4 months and didn’t lose a pound. One day I was so sick I was doubled over was going to go to ER I was in such pain. I messaged the DR who prescribed it and (but the nurse reads the emails) and told her I can’t do this. Messaged my other doctor who told me to stop because I could have pancreatitis or colitis. A year later and I still have abdominal issues. And the DR who prescribed it was an endocrinologist so, a specialist.
glad you stopped. some ideas: eat more slowly. chew food 30-35 times each bite (chew food to paste); eat a whole foods plant based diet (see dr. barnard and physician's committee for responsible medicine on YT). berberine is a natural supplement that can increase GLP 1 without the side effects.
Terrible nausea and headaches the entire time. Put on 5lbs in the first week. Had to quit it.
Were you obese? Had you tried other weight loss methods and failed?
@@calliopeloveMy doctor prescribed it but I haven’t filled scrip yet. I only eat whole foods, nothing pre-packaged, more than 70 types of plants a week-high fiber, very little animal products, and I do light exercise a few hours a day on average. I don’t have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and yet-My BMI makes me “obese.”
I'm going to give my opinion as a warning. Ozempic can cause something called gastroparesis.
I have something called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and developed gastroparesis because of it and I was so sick and miserable I got suicidal. It's NO JOKE your entire digestive system is paralyzed and you can't digest anything. I have to take medication to eat and medication to go to the washroom. I am lucky that I got a diagnosis and help so I can still eat some foods, some people with gastroparesis need feeding tubes.
I lost 20lbs in one month but what I went through and am still going through is not worth it for weight loss. I am so sick and weak, my whole life is about trying to get food into me.
I absolutely love Dr. Fung! The way he can explain all of this so everyone can understand! He has helped so many people, me being one of them. Totally reversed my type 2 diabetes. I was on 2 types of insulin and metformin. March 1, 2022 I stopped taking all those meds and did intermittent fasting with low carb lifestyle and watched as my blood sugar dropped. My A1C today is 6.5.👍💜
I think this method is so much healthier in the long run then having to rely on so many medications, and quick fixes like Ozempic which just puts a band-aid on one's eating habits. Congrats!!
I have reduced my A1C to 6.6 and am still working on getting it down to 6. Did you stop your meds once your A1C came down to 6.5? I am really, really looking forward to coming off all diabetic medicine, but I'm not sure when that ought to happen. My doctor has not suggested that I'm close to that yet. Diane in NC
@@jimmiepatrum Hi! If you are intermittent fasting and eating low carb, I believe you can come off your meds for diabetes. The day I started this, I stopped taking all my meds-metformin and 2 types of insulin. And kept close track of my blood sugar, watching it fall. Today my A1C is 6.4. Plus I am no longer eating low low carb, when I started I stayed at 18 carbs per day for 8 straight months and then slowly started incorporating more carbs. Today I’m mindful what I eat, but not on a strict number of carbs. My diabetes doctor didn’t believe me and said to me”But you need SOME insulin “ and I said no, look at my numbers. He has never had a patient do this but I believe we MUST be proactive for ourselves. I am thankful for doctors, do not misunderstand me, but we know our bodies best. Try it and see, keeping a close eye on your daily blood sugar and keeping the carbs low. You will be pleasantly surprised.
I think there is more to this than they are addressing. I find that when I eat or drink anything sweet, the sugar kills my appetite. So if I drink a soda, and I've never been able to drink huge amounts at one time, the sugar I've consumed actually kills my appetite for quite a long time. My experience in being overweight usually has nothing to do with actual physical hunger. I eat when I am not hungry. I eat to satisfy some emotional issues. I eat for comfort, I eat because I'm sad, etc. And I don't believe I'm unique in this regard.
Cutting out added sugar from my diet (whole fruit is fine because it also contains fiber) has helped me to control my hunger and to lower my weight. I no longer have huge blood sugar swings that used to make me get hangry and shake. Now I’m at the point I can not eat for 20 hours and I have no issues with hunger (I usually still eat after 18 to enjoy eating with family and friends). I just focus on no added sugar and Whole Foods and I don’t get hangry anymore. My experience is what Dr. Fung is describing, the soda made me hungry and thirsty. But I didn’t realize it until I cut it out of my diet completely. Took about two weeks before I noticed the difference. Just another perspective.
You sure are not. That's me to a T.
@@vidalamadi852what sugar actually does is kill your appetite for Whole Foods. Those of us who eat a sugary diet can attest to the fact that we don’t have a huge appetite and we don’t eat a crazy amount of calories. But the problem with us is that the food we do eat spikes our insulin and keeps it circulating in our bodies. And as Dr Fung says….you cannot burn fat in the presence of insulin.
Maybe you're actually just thirsty.
Anyway, nice try convincing yourself soda is good 😂 Sugar is NEVER good
Eating sugar for me makes me ravenously hungry. I think about eating all day. All I want to eat is sugar. I stopped eating it but if I am depressed and have a cupcake at a birthday party, chance are big that I will not stop eating sugar. It takes me weeks to get back on track and I end up having 20-30 pounds in a month.
Ozempic saved my life dropped 70 pounds and was able to get off 4 medications
Glad this worked for you. But I have lost 77 lbs in just over six months and haven't had to use expensive drugs--just intermittent fasting.
How was your mood while on it?
I have been eating only one meal daily for as long as I can remember. I weigh 20 more pounds today than when I was 18 in the seventies. I have always tried to avoid overly processed food; if I do eat junk food, it's only in small amounts. We just finished planting the last of our four vegetable gardens today, gardens we never use pesticides or herbicides on. I live in a small city, and our front yard is not grass, it's a vegetable garden.
GOD BLESS your Victory Garden!

Here is a wild theory.. could the hormones they give animals to get them to eat more for consumption pass onto us making us hungry?
That is an interesting thought, however it's more due to the addictive quality of sugar, vegetable seed oils and wheat-flour, the major components of junk foods; they're the ingredients in plentiful use and chemical additives are the other. Look at the advertising, thousands of products and the irrational belief in eating snacks to maintain blood sugar for energy. Our bodies were equipped to eat and fast, eat and fast, humans developed this way over thousands of generations. Now we are hormonally out of balance and this is due to the constant constant eating resulting in the relentless elevation of the storage hormone insulin. Society has been lied to and the manufacturers of these poisonous junk foods are the only entities to profit. Eating whole foods as our progenitors did is the answer.
The added sugars in foods that have no business having them is huge in the addiction to modern processed food. After being in ketosis for a few weeks it is wild how your palette regains its sensitivity. Commercially made white bread toast is sweet like cake! Making bread and buns at home is one of my small steps to break up with the food industry.
Interesting thought. We definitely need to think outside of the box to get to the bottom of this.
This is why grass fed is encouraged over corn because its also never just corn, its the fattening stuff. Women are told that the fattening agent in the cow feed has xeno estrogen which, yes, affects how we gain. Remember estrogen is a cell proliferater so can cause our fat cells to multiply faster.
Yes. I briefly lived in China and they do not give these hormones. I lost 15 pounds in one month and even ate MORE. I ate snacks and 3 meals a day.
Ozempic uses the same injector pens used by Novo Nordisk in their actual life saving type 1 diabetes insulin. Because of all the hype around Ozempic it has caused real supply problems (at least in the UK) for actual medicine. We couldn't get insulin for 4 weeks from our pharmacy back in November. The only thing we could do was call 111 and find a hospital that still had some. Absolutely ridiculous that hype around a weight loss drug (also used for T2 diabetes) means that people who actually need insulin injected to survive can't get their medicine.
Ozempic shortages for diabetics in Australia are also a concern. I need this to control my blood sugar
Did you know you can reverse your type 2 diabetes with a clean diet like keto diet and/or carnivore diet. you can also add in fasting to heal your body even more.
keto channels: Dr Berg see his vids on type 2 & keto, Dr Eckberg sea his vids on type 2 and keto and Dr Boz see her vids on type 2sea their vids on "Keto for beginners', keto flu, electrolytes
carnviore diet channels: Dr Ken berry,** Shawn baker md podcast, Dr Caffee, **kelly hogan, **home stead how (these have a ton of interviews of people reversing their diabetes and getting of insulin.
fasting channels Dr Mindy pelz sea her vids 7 types of fasting, what to drink on a fast and refeed after a fast and Dr Jason Fung his vids different types of fasting and refeed after fast. both have books on fasting.
HEAL YOUR BODY....only one that wins with regards to Rx drugs is BIG PHARMA making billions off of insulin
Diabetes type 2 is reversible. Please seriously look into all of this. Your library will have books on keto, carnviore and fasting.
Wishing you a speedy recovery from your type 2. Many reverse their type 2 with above within a month or a few months. Seriously.
** = vids interviews of those that have healed all types of health issues on these diets from type 2, obesity, depression, anxiety, mood issues, brain issues, gut issues etc etc a longgggg list of healing.
Take care.

I’m really sorry this happened, my brother is a type 1 diabetic and you need it to live!
Dr. Jason Fung is straightforward and doesn't try to make money by pushing products or diets on you. Even if a drug goes against what he's been promoting as a simple solution to obesity, he still tells you the truth. That's not like a lot of other well-known keto or carnivore diet promoters who just spread nonsense and scare tactics. I really respect him for that.
Thank you so much for this video! It really hit home for me.
Jason Fung is one honest doctor.
Jason Fung is my hero.
Hard to find an honest whitecoat
Dr Berg and Dr Jung are the best doctors!!
@@tushiefenton7721dr berg is not a doctor of medicine. He has a lot of interesting info but he isn’t a medical doctor. His doctorate is in anther field but because he has a doctorate degree he can call himself a doctor. Dr Fung is a Canadian medical doctor, specifically a nephrologist.
Obesity is part of an eating disorder. Also I struggle with PTSD. Taking care of my mental has been causing weight loss naturally. Dealing with childhood trauma through therapy, weight keeps dropping. Wish I could post pics. Even physical exercise has been coming naturally
Hello, actually, obesity can be a SYMPTOM of an eating. Congratulations On Your
This is awesome! Keep it up ❤❤❤
Right. You cannot separate body and mind from
As someone who's currently recovering from stomach dysbiosis after being on too many rounds of antibiotics, it pains me to think of people risking damage to their digestive tract just to be on Ozempic. When your gut is out of balance, it effects the rest of your body as around 70% of your immune system is located in your gut. I'm currently dealing with rashes, raised TSH (thyroid) levels, malnutrition, joint pain, and am getting sick now more than ever all because my gut is out of balance. That said, if you're on a medication that's effecting the stomach and digestive system, I find it hard to believe there isn't a real risk of developing gastrointestinal problems.
Gosh , this is so informative and fascinating , thank you .
People close to me have landed in the hospital due to Ozempic use. Because they weren’t eating, they became deficient in multiple things the body needs to function properly. One of them is on a critical care unit. A nurse I was talking to said she has seen the issues increasing. I am sad this is where we are in society today. 😞
Pharmaceutical companies are the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
That may be true but it’s an anomoly and not the norm or the drug wouldn’t be so readily available.
You have to make wise choices when using Ozempic (which is supposed to be used by diabetics and not just by someone looking to lose weight).
@@taniareguin7470That’s your opinion on how you think it should be used. Most All meds have more than one function. Viagra wasn’t made for ED. It was a cardiac med until they realized it helped with ED and the main purpose of it changed. Similar to Ozempic.
@@taniareguin7470it can be used for both.
I learned so much thank you
Best way I’ve noticed to feel full is to make a 5 min brake halfway true the meal. After that you feel full.I eat half the amount this way then I would eat if eting fast and no break.
Food not cold by then?
Great idea.
BREAKING NEWS if you want to curb your appetite, reduce hunger then eat pistachios. Much healthier and little side effects. And yummy!!! Stop drugging yourself.
You're allowing your leptin to increase. GLP-1 agonists do the exact same thing when they suppress glucagon and drive insulin and leptin. Difference is that you're doing it naturally and appropriately.
KC, this is a *great idea*! I have tried taking a break when I am about halfway through the meal to see if I am still hungry enough to finish it.
I see so many people come in the ER with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation and some have pancreatitis. This crap just slows your intestines to a turtle pace but in some cases it can completely shut it down and then you really have problems. Long term effects are going to be bad for these people.
That’s what I think. These folks are going to have issues down the road.
I've read articles about people on Ozempic and over time the food stops moving through their intestines, which can be fatal.
Glad u mentioned this. People often overlook the side effects because they like the benefit. Big pharma meds ALWAYS have serious side effects regardless how great the initial results. Remember when Fen Fen came out and everyone was losing weight? It was the new diet craze. Years later a class action lawsuit emerged because patients were having serious diseases years after taking it.
GLP-1s were FDA approved for type 2 diabetics since 2005. It’s been used off-label for weight loss for 15+years, and more recently FDA approved for weight loss.
Are there risks? Yes. People need to be medically pre-screened, as certain conditions make GLP-1s inappropriate/risky for some patients. And, the medication needs to be properly dosed, with ongoing monitoring of things like thyroid levels.
Used properly, GLP-1s have a safe “track record” & the risks are known. If you ignore your risk factors, improperly use the drug, and don’t monitor relevant blood results, bad things can happen with many drugs.
Ozempic is forced fasting, but I wonder if they stop it, it will have the opposite effect, where they will not be able to fast normally.
Legend. Great discussion. Dr Fung speaks so much common sense
No clickbait here. He said he has no problem with it and that it is teaching a lesson over reducing appetite. He is the first Dr where everyone else has an issue with it.
This guy's an American Hero. I've lost 30 pounds by following his advice, over 18 months, without it being difficult. Thank you for sharing these digestible clips for other people to benefit from his research.
Will you please share the link? Thanks!
He's Canadian 😂
@@soniapadilla9880 Hi Sonia, I watched his old videos from 11 years ago onwards until I understood that my eating habits of eating too many hours in the day versus the calories I consumed was making me fat. I just followed his advice, stop alcohol, keep eating to 18 or less hours, when you break the fast, start with a good protein or healthy fat like an avocado and then a boiled egg, don't add milk to your coffee. I swapped out soda for iced tea, earl grey and green tea throughout the day, just refilling my large water glass when it was empty - amazing how much tea is leftover. And slowly, about 2 pounds a month, I lost weight.
sorry, big typo - keep eating to 8 hours a day or less, not 18!!!! 18 hours a day of eating is what was making me overweight!
@@alisonbumstead4745 Yes that accent gave it away! 😂
Keto and intermittent fasting works better and is free. Thank you Doctor Fung.
Yet scores of folks on keto remain obese. Tirzepatide for the win!
Along with 24/7 media
People need to sleep..to lose weight
Kids also went to bed at 9pm
@kathleenking47 yes sleep is very important. It helps with the only thing that makes you lose weight: having more calories leaving the body vs what goes in.
Yes I love intermittent fasting.
Also if you want to curb your appetite, reduce hunger then eat pistachios. Much healthier and little side effects. And yummy!!! Stop drugging yourself.
You can still get hungry on intermittent. So they use things like caffeine, sparkling water, and other devices. You can't just tell someone who is dealing with overwhelming hunger, 'Oh just don't eat during the day.'
Thank you for the solid info
Great informational video! Keep up the good work bro! 🎉🎉
For the past 2 months, I have been one of those who have watched a few of your videos without subscribing. However, I have just subscribed. I wanted to be sure that the content would consistently be something I was interested in, and so far, it has been. Keep bringing on better and better guess.
Growing up in the 1970s, we still drank soda, ate chips, and had fast food. The difference was they were occasional treats. We didn't have them every day. We also weren't told that we should snack or have 5-6 small meals a day like we are taught now. We had 3 meals most days. Occasionally we would snack but for the most part we were busy doing other things. I know that people want to discount exercise but I think there's something to be said for staying active. I hardly ever see kids playing with something that doesn't involve a screen these days.
The problem is definitely willpower. I had a friend who had 2 sisters. My female friend and her sisters were in competition to be the most attractive. My friend told me it is easy to be slim. You just eat little. That is absolutely true. Take the idea on board and it is hard but not impossible to do. Just suffer and do it. I keep doing it. Eat little!
My wife is on this med. This is one of the best explanations I've heard so far.
was very educational thank you.
Several gastroenterologists looked at my upper gi, it was a mess, and mentioned ozempic. Sure enough I injected a half dose for 2 months. Felt exhausted and just off. Lost a bit of weight, gained more when I stopped. Have used exercise and moderation with food, finally losing again. Beware if you have or are prone to esophageal problems or acid reflux.
Why be concerned about esophageal problems or acid reflux
@@bevharo3750 You are right, who cares about possible esophageal cancer!
Not to mention constipation.
My understanding of it is that because these drugs slow digestion, they often exacerbate reflux. Acid reflux causes esophageal damage and can contribute to esophageal and laryngeal cancers, among other problems.@@bevharo3750
Mine was becoming a mess. Am now on the PROPER medications which have eradicated all stomach problems. OZEMPIC causes me ZERO problems except I have unfortunately lost a few WANTED AND MUCH NEEDED pounds. And yes, I am a type 2 diabetic. Ozempic is a God send as it is helping me stay away from INSULIN.
Since I became fat adapted I am not hungry anymore. I eat one meal a day and feel great.
Cool, have you checked your Ldl-c/ ApoB recently?
How do you get all your nutrients? I couldn't get all my reccommended daily intake of calcium, vitamins, protien, fibre etc in one meal. And I like eating. I'm also on the lowest end of reccommended weight, so that's all good.
@@jenA9026 I eat a lot 😳 during that one meal. Salad tomatoes avocado bellpepper half a sweet potato with lots of olive oil sprinkled over it and a steak 🥩 as side-dish. And I close with an „unhealthy“ dessert.
@@jenA9026Check out the carnivore diet (zero carb).. all the nutrients you'll need so you only feel like one or two meals a day. It's not for everyone though, you give up a lot of food variety but it's really life changing. Been two years and I'm never going back.
@@jenA9026 when you get fat adapted your body uses that fat you have for fuel instead of glucose and glycogen.
I really appreciate Dr. Fung's ability to explain processes in a way that's easy to understand. Thank you, Dr. Fung.
Great video! Very informativ🙏🏼
I have a slightly different perspective. I think that the obesity crisis is caused by malnutrition. People overeat because they are hungry. They aren't eating enough proteins and fats. It is difficult to see this malnutrition, because we don't see overweight people as starving. So yes we have starving people out there. It may be easy to go to a fast food place and eat their food, but this food is nutrient deficient. We have easy access to food that is toxic and doesn't nourish you.
Overfed and malnourished. Yes!
Demonization of fatty meat has caused billions to suffer.
This is truth!!
You are right. There's no Satiety in the food they are eating because most of it is crap!
Insulin resistance is also a factor.
On June 6, 2023 I weighed 340 pounds. Today, 7.5 months later, I weigh 271. Ozempic literally saved my life. As reported by other commenters, I ate frequently and I never stopped when I was full. I stopped when I was stuffed, and ate again as soon as I could. I could devour a pound of pot roast while dishing up my family's meal. I overate everything from Doritos to broccoli, ice cream to pears, salad, donuts, scrambled eggs, spaghetti, pork chops, potatoes, asparagus, olives...well, you get the drift. Here's the thing, though. Ozempic wouldn't have kept me from overeating if I didn't retool
my entire relationship with food. Seriously, I had to do the work, even when I felt chemically satiated. Why? Because I'm an emotional overeater. I self-medicate with food. Someday I'll no longer be taking Ozempic and I'll need an ingrained system of new habits - physical, social, behavioral - in order to make the adjustment. I'm now working on building muscle and stamina, eating well and carefully, strengthening my social network, and learning how to manouver through a world that, up until recently, has been too frightening for me to engage with. All my obese peeps hear me on this, I'm sure - "Will I fit in the restaurant booth?", "Will the people I'm meeting think awful things about my size?", "Will I break the antique dining chair in my friend's house?", "How will I make myself small enough not to touch arms with the person in the next seat at the movies?" It goes on and on. The moral of this story is that Ozempic doesn't fail, it's just a chemical tool, but people do fail if they don't understand that it's simply a tool. It's up to us to build a house that will stand after the tools have been packed up and taken away.
Let’s be honest, you over eat on mainly processed foods and carbs , not protein. So your going to be on Ozempic your whole life? At some point your going to have to get your diet under control without it
@@kcz81582hey. Back off
@@kcz81582she said very honestly what the cause and result was. Mind your business.
@@kcz81582 Good lord, no! All things being equal, I'll start transitioning off Ozempic around December. My goal is to be sustainably lean and healthy and off Ozempic by this time next year, or sooner. But who knows? Man plans and God laughs. This isn't my first weight-loss rodeo and I've always ended up in the dirt, broken and recidivistic, every time before. But I'm old now, and my time is short. I want to be able to chase my grandkids around the yard and be generally active until my number gets punched. The idea of spending years in painful, defeated inactivity is horrifying. What I'm banking on is that I'll be more addicted to my new life than I was to compulsive eating. Sugary processed carbs set up a feedback loop in my brain whereby the more I eat, the more I want. A pound of pot roast is over 1300 calories, but it also shuts down hunger, which is why keto eaters don't count calories. I agree that eating keto creates a biochemical environment that results in weight loss and a healthier metabolism for most people. My problem was that I'll eat the pot roast and continue to eat the junk food. I ate from compulsion, not actual hunger. Starbucks frappuccinos, bags of Takis, and drive through burgers are obvious foods (and I use that term loosely) that everyone should avoid. But avoiding the poison is only the first step. At the grocery store, dedicate yourself to real, whole, minimally processed choices whether you eat keto, carnivore, plant-based, vegan, or whatever. Ozempic isn't magic, it's not a panacea, but it shuts down the food noise in my head and dampens my compulsions. It makes weight loss easier, but, I still have to do the work myself.
@@kcz81582that’s LITERALLY what she said lol

Excellent video! “A hormone driven behavior” - profound! Thank you for educating us! The doctor communicates in such a straightforward, clear, on-point manner. Not a lot of technical jargon. He answers directly. Great examples. Stumbled on this video and love it!
Every interview on this podcast is so interesting!! It's actually a lot of experts on eating, but always good!
My trainer told me to drink 16oz of water before I eat and drink 16 oz after. That works pretty well to make sure that I don't over eat.
Something to think about, you don’t want to dilute your stomach acid…
32 Ounces of water will not dilute stomach acid enough to matter...maybe you were thinking liters?
@ ciarasullivan...You are very correct!!!
Wait. Do you mean a liter before and after your meal?
That’s a lot of liquid ! 😮
I subscribed great info!!
Great interview!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I used to take Wellbutrin and it was a massive appetite suppressant. I would have splitting headaches, low low energy, nausea ect. and not be hungry and would have to think “oh wait how many days has it been since I’ve had a proper meal”. It was insane not to feel hunger and not in a good way. Hunger cues are not something we should try and “solve”.
Wow,I didn't know it did that. I took it got none of that.
I gained on Wellbutrin and very quickly.
Most anti depressants have this side effect.This happened to me with Zoloft, which I am weaning off of.I don’t want to lose muscle mass.
It just goes to show you how differently each persons makeup is. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin for a long time and it has not suppressed my appetite one teeny, tiny bit. In fact, it has caused weight gain. Go figure.
Dr Fung your one of the Best Thanks for all you do for us
I respect and trust Dr.Fung.
That was a very informative interview.
I actually had a professor that made a final exam so horrible only 1 person passed. They spent the entire next class lecturing us how it was our faults.
Ya, I've ruined that curve for a class. I just didn't do homework because I understood the equations. only people that were making below a B had to take the final, and it would be curved based on the highest grade. Nearly aced the test because I was forced to sit and do the work. The next grade was like a 75. Sorry about that.
Wow, this is a very informative video! Thank you! I just started Week #7 on Mounjaro, and it is miraculous how it stops the food chatter in my brain! My stomach gets full eating half as much food. I am documenting my journey doing RUclips lives on what I call Mounjaro Mondays when I take my shot. Thank you to the doctor you interviewed for his understanding of obesity! He described very well how eating protein helps too. I am very hopeful now that I will be able to return to a healthy weight, while taking this drug and mindfully eating more protein and veggies and less processed carbs. It helps my cravings to stop. I have type 2 diabetes and my blood sugar levels are much lower, too. Have a great week! 😊
Your videos are awesome! I started IMF IN 2018 because of you. I have been a vegetarian since 1981.
I started seriously fasting because of Dr. Fung, love his message. I continue to follow him and Dr.Mindy who is also revolutionary.
I tried Ozempic for about a month. It slowed/stopped my digestion to the point where I was so constipated I had to stop taking it and do a suppository and a master cleanse before I could function again. And I mean stopped....for two weeks I didn't go to the bathroom I was so stopped up. And it took a week of doing the master cleanse before I could go normally again. I was eating way less and losing weight but the side effects were terrible. It helped with my blood sugar levels as well but horrible constipation was just not worth it.
I did notice that there was no mention of still requiring nutrition for the body to function properly...
Been on Ozempic for two years. No problems at all from it. Any bowel ailments are from the diabetes NOT OZEMPIC. To each his own. One time I was on Jardiance. HAD to stop after 4 days as my joints felt like they were being attacked with a blowtorch. BOTTOM DOLLAR is OZEMPIC was/is designed for diabetes not weight loss.
.
Dangerous stuff. Have you ever tried natural supplements to help with weight issues? They work for those that come in to our clinic
Everyone I know who has taken this has put all the weight back on once they stopped taking it.
I agree, That’s exactly what happens! The drug industry wants you hooked forever!
Yes and all that have stopped dieting put the weight back on...I agree that a healthy lifestyle is the right way to go, but sometimes you need a little help.
My fear is they haven't done any long term studies on it, I hope everyone ends up being okay. I feel like it may affect the bones and hair
@@sbg1911Muscle loss is a huge issue. The weight loss is not only body fat but muscle as well and the loss of muscle will make it harder to control blood glucose when the drug is stopped since muscle is the biggest glucose sink in the body. This is particularly concerning for older people since they have a hard time building muscle or even maintaining it. Loss of muscle is highly associated with an increase death rate because falls become more likely
Of course they did. They didn't learn to eat to maintain their weight loss. It's the same with diets that aren't lifestyle changes.
Very informative!
This was fantastic information for the ordinary person on the street that doesn’t really understand the science behind calories in calories out and the law of thermodynamics. This was brilliant thank you very much. It helps me understand how I can modify what I buy at the store to keep myself healthy and feeling satiated, I look forward to more of your lectures
Ozempic will make the obesity crisis worse Dr Fung! C’mon! As soon as people go off it they will get rebound hunger, insatiable. They would need to stay on it forever.
Agree. I have Friends on it. I asked them if they are going to change their diet and get out and exercise so they could eventaully go off it and do it narturally. They both looked at me confused and weren't ready to make the commitment.
Unfortunately that's what the pharmaceutical company is hoping for.
@@FindingGinaMarie
Some of these conditions you've mentioned can, like obesity, be avoided with a healthy lifestyle.
Unless your born with diabetes then that's different.
But noone is born obese.
As a diabetic Ozempic was designed for us. NO PROBLEM at all. If you want to lose weight deal with your issues.
Disagree with Fung on Ozempic. You’d have to stay on it forever and future side effects will catch up to you
Very insightful information by Dr. Jason Fung. Thanks!
This is so cool. Thank you!
I love Dr Fung....im glad everyone else catching up...❤❤❤❤
Dr. Jason FUNG one of the best here in YT- Thank you for all your work and time and videos explaining everything.
He completely left out that Ozempic causes paralysis of the digestive track which helps keep you full. This has been covered by several Dr's here on RUclips such as Ekburg and Berg. I've seen it first hand where my friend ate a hot dog the day before and threw it up when we were hanging out and it was undigested and rancid
my best friend has not properly evacuated her bowels in over one month. i dont dimiss the many benefits but there are risks/downsides too.
Ekburg and Berg are both chiropractors. I don’t know why anyone would listen to them.
And the problem is augmented because a side effect of diabetes is slow gastric emptying (due to damage to the vagus nerve), so taking these drugs make a side effect of diabetes even worse. So people will have a hard time getting nutrients from their food, similar to the problem many gastric bypass patients have. This may explain why muscle loss happens in these patients. They are just not digesting enough protein to keep their muscle mass
@@nataliajimenez1870thats very intersting. my friend is diabetic.
he is promoting it sadly
I've ALWAYS admired and respected Dr. Fung's insight! Thank you!!
I wouldn't have clicked had this video been titled differently, however this video is SO much more interesting than information about ozempic... Loved this discussion, you ask good questions and have good insight. I appreciate the information. God bless you.

They should invite you to speak on this topic not this Fung guy.
It is designed for diabetics. Anything else is foolishness. I AM ON Ozempic for T2 diabetes. NO problems whatsoever.
I’m sorry you went through all that, that sounds very dangerous. Plus there’s not enough research done on these drugs, and there’s always side effects. Pills aren’t the answer for weight loss, why not listen to Dr Fung he’s the man.
I enjoyed this interview, it made me think about things a little differently.
I lost 59 pounds of muscle in 40 days, after being rescued by medics i spent 77 days in the hospital snd had to learn how to walk again.I am now heavier that where i started. I couldn't eat anything, controlled my hunger alright. It almost killed me
He’s so good at explaining, made it so simple to understand. Made so much sense
Sadly, I have a friend that has lost 200 lbs. With Ozempic but has never changed the food she eats. Although she eats very little, she still eats junk food, processed and take out. Although the weight came off, she looks horrible. Ozempic also reduces huge amounts of muscle mass.
Ya you really need to pair ozempic with high protein and weight training to preserve muscle mass.
I've been doing alternate day fasting and weight training, and have *gained* muscle over the past six months, while losing over 75 lbs.
I'm obese. My whole life. Thanks to genes, hormones, PCOS, congenital heart defects, depression....and who knows what else. The worst part of obesity is the stigma and the way I have been treated as less than other smaller sized humans. Like, thanks a lot. It's not enough that I am struggling to carry 100 plus extra pounds, but make sure I have 0 self-esteem and hate myself. Keep your opinions off my body. This doesn't apply to the obese. I'm sick of this world and the people in it who think they know everything about everything. All we need is love, but everyone just wants to look at the outside. Thank you, God, for looking at the heart. I hate being fat. Being fat should not be the only thing you know about someone. I hate obesity.😢
I don't know it you will ever see this @sarahcuddlebear, but I hear YOU, your pain hurts my heart. I love you and yes God does too.
@@chessiesmile thank you for caring❤️
I love Dr. Fung, speaks clearly, easy to understand. I do intermittent fasting, not all the time but it helps keep me at a good weight. After years of many different diets this is the easiest for me. I eventually started eating much better and notice the difference after I eat healthy food. You need to find out what you love to eat that’s healthy or how to make it healthier. I make a cabbage lasagna with no noodles and ground turkey. My daughter loves it too. I tried making enchiladas like that but it wasn’t as good.
Once again an excellent analysis by Dr.Jason Fung
I appreciate how Dr. Fung (I have most of his books), doesn't let misunderstanding stand on the part of the host.
He does a good job of correcting (and explaining) the flaws in perception/ understanding (common with obesity) by the host. Sorry, I don't know the hosts name, came for Dr. Fung.
