Ive lost 112lbs so far in 7 months doing different forms of fasting. I am currently doing 5 days of fasting 2 days of eating. I started at 462 and i am currently 350
What is your trick to get over the mental hunger? I just tried my first extended fast and at 30hrs i started to hallucinate about food. Door knobs looked like donuts, my hand looked like a slice of pizza!
@@harrylee591 I never had anything like that. Do I think about food all the time yeah. But I just keep busy and I tell myself I already know what it tastes like I don't need it right now and I keep telling myself that I can have it in moderation in the future. I honestly don't even like fast food anymore. I completely cut out fast food from my diet and I only eat Whole Foods. When I'm thinking about food I'm thinking about how good a fresh bowl of fruit is gonna be. I don't think about junk food anymore. Maybe it just comes with time though because I don't even get hungry anymore on the 1st 2 days of my fast. Your hunger horomone peaks on day 2 so once you get past day 2 you arent even hungry anymore. Youll get fat adapted in like 2 or 3 weeks if u stick to it
@@harrylee591 Day my wife talked me into eating Taco Bell Which I haven't eaten in 7 months. And I threw up and my stomach hurt all night. Fast food doesnt taste the same anymore.
I tried paleo for 6 months. Only lost like 10lbs. Felt much better, but it just wasn't enough. Started carnivore, started losing alot more, when I began to plateau i started intermittent fasting. When i plateaued again, I started my prolonged fasts. I gradually reintroduced green vegetables, onions, peppers, mushrooms etc. Ended up losing 150lbs in about a year. Listening to people like Dr. Fung really helped me.
I become quite good at learning to ride the hunger wave.. it passes, I promise.. it's just a habit trigger - it will go. I thought, hey...if I can ride the hunger wave, I can ride a nicotine withdrawal wave, too. And I'm just over 2 weeks cigg free AND losing weight while fasting. How good is fasting? Life changing I tell you. Thank you Dr Fung.
I remember Dr Eric Berg mentioning once there is a relation between the cravings triggered by nicotine (and other drugs) and sugar because they trigger the same addictive response in the brain. So therefore if you cut out carbohydrates it actually results in a better chance of also cutting the cravings/addiction caused by nicotine too. For some reason that piece of information got stuck in my mind.
This is awesome! Glad that you took a giant step to lose weight and remove nicotine. How's everything going? Are you using anything to track your progress?
Love 16/8 IF. Highest wt 405 - no longer “diet” and just maintaining at roughly 165. Still use a combo of IF & Keto (low carb / huge sugar reduction). My research started with DR JASON FUNG videos and branched out. I love cooking and creating extremely satiating meals and honestly don’t really get hungry. I just don’t eat my 1st meal until after 12:30pm. I eat WAY healthier than ever in my life...and I am over 65. My meals are incredible and never resemble “diet” food. I have heart and joint issues, but feel better than I have in decades. I now concentrate more on life vs. where’s my Big Mac? Never thought this possible. Thanks Dr Fung!
Intermittent fasting did wonders for me without keto. Lost 30 pounds on 24:1, enjoying everything I love on a non deprivation diet. Thank You Dr. Fung.
@@newb_beee8233 - Initially it was between 16:1 to 18:1, then 24:1. I lost my weight on a STRICTLY non-deprivation diet. I enjoyed whatever I felt like eating within the 1 hour permitted time frame & that was it. No guilt trip whatsoever. I don’t believe in depriving myself, as it’s a guarantee of failure & will set one on a path of endless recriminations. However, I did not over eat. I decided on what I wanted for the day, stuck to it & ate in moderation, during my allotted eat time. It worked wonders for me.
@@newb_beee8233 - Nope. As I’ve said “it’s a non-deprivation intermittent fast”. Like Dr Fung, I think “diet” is a dirty word. Just eat in moderation whatever you desire, during the 1 hour eating time frame. I enjoy desserts, potatoes, rice, bread & anything else I want. However, after the 1 hour eating time frame, you must not eat until the next eating schedule, if you are to have a successful outcome. Have a good one!
Hi, I'm new to keto diet and not sure if I'm eating too many carbs. I stick to 50g total, but blood ketones never get to 1.5. I'm also IF 16:8 and completed 8 weeks of 16 weeks marathon training. I'm not losing weight and now wondering if I'm doing too many things at the same time? Any advice appreciated.
Hi from France doctor Fung. I am down 34kg during the last two years with intermittent fasting (from 115kg to 81kg). I feel better than I ever did and am training to run semi marathon. The best part is that I don't think about food though I used to be obsessed. I feel free and it gives me so much confidence and energy!
The simplest way that I've found to explain keto and therapeutic fasting is to tell people that my method, of losing weight and keeping it off, is to keep my insulin as close to basal level as often as possible.
Dr Fung you blew my mind with the obesity code and changed the course of my life and also the way I feed my young kids. I’m down to my ideal weight which has eluded me for years. Thank you for your brilliant mind and new theory of obesity, it’s totally hormonal!
You deserve an award for all of the lives you’ve changed. I’m down 70lbs and have stopped taking insulin because of your videos/literature. I was doing ok last year but I let myself go during the holidays. When I had my Dr. appt on Jan. 4 this year my A1C was high and so were my triglycerides. I started the next day with my fasting routine and I’m down 25 lbs. since then. Thank you for all you do and for giving people hope for a longer and better quality of life.
I am a university atomic and molecular physics professor. I have very carefully watched the youtube lectures of Dr.Jason Fung's at least three times of each. I firmly believe that his main points (arguments) are correct judging from thermodynamical scientific standpoint. I have now started to systematically study biochemistry on my own. I also intend to selfstudy main branches of biology from molecular physics standpoint. Therefore, armed with sound and rigorous biological basis, within three to four years time, I am intending to study intermittent fasting from molecular physics standpoint. In the end, I would like to provide a firm physical basis to support Dr. Fung's life changing theories. You are not alone dear Dr. Fung. With my deepest regards. .
I am a 69 year old woman I started intermittent fasting in 2017 and then added the keto diet and lost 50 pounds and never gained it back. I had tried every kind of diet before but the hunger kept me from going forward. The hunger stops taking over your life, when you eat low carb.
@@thetree7694 Anything with sugar, which is almost all condiments. Eat only above ground grown vegetables, all leafy greens, protein without dipped in junk, and healthy fats. Absolutely no seed oils. They cause inflammation, swollen joints etc.
I IF for 20 hours a day .... I eat restricted calories and keep carbs to 80- 100 ... I’m 64 and it works for me ... when it stops working I’ll take the carbs down to 50-70.... etc I love only eating four hours a day .... I feel emotionally more balanced and these days with the pandemic I need all the balance I can get ....
Dr. Funk is my hero. I will be 75 shortly and I began his program with a six day fast not knowing what I was doing. I never felt better I owe my life to him because I did have a mini stroke and this is keeping me from having more I know his attitude is right I can never thank you enough for what he’s done for me
For me combining intermittent fasting and keto diet is the only way if your fat is stubborn as mine was. I've lost 7kgs in months and going strong, i feel mental clarity, and feel generally very good. Im 60 and feel happier and living to the full again. Meditation and creativity in combination works wonders for me.
I used Carnivore combined with IF OMAD to reverse my T2D in 11 month. I started the Carnivore WOE on December 6, 2019 and at November 19, 2020 my doc took me off of my last diabetes drug (pill) and declared me a latent diabetic. I also lost 30+ kilogram. I reversed my NAFL I was diagnosed with in July 2019 too. I was a diabetic, a known diabetic, since 2000.
Also be aware that carb restriction can make you feel lowsy for a few days or even a week or two. After about 2 weeks or so, you will have energy and focus like you never had before. Don't give up on the diet. I have been doing it for over seven months and my health and well-being is so amazing! I have gone from 38" waist to under 32".
@@malintheng9050 I eat mainly meat, eggs, cheese, cream, butter and oils of all kinds, peanuts, cashews, nuts in general, green vegetables like broccoli, green beans, salads, spinach. I use swerve sweetener and full fat cream and unsweetened cocoa powder to make chocolate ice cream. I eat in limited amounts tomatoes and tomato sauces. I eat limited amounts of berries (blue and strawberry mainly). I have learned to make low carb chocolates that are great. Initially, I kept my carb count to no more than 50 or 60 grams per day. Now, I will go up to 100-150 grams per day with no problems. My waistline has been around 31-32 inches for over a year now and my blood work is great. I have effectively cured my diabetes so long as I keep the carbs low. I lift weights about 2 times per week for 10-15 minutes exercising the large muscle groups. I focus on each muscle group one time per week to allow for sufficient rest to recover. I highly recommend strength training like this. It does wonders and compliments the diet. I did not start exercising until I lost most of the excess body fat, about 4 or 5 months after I start the diet. I hope that helps! Good luck.
I was diagnosed with type 2 last February. By following a low-carb, whole food, grain-free diet with daily 16:8 IF I have lost 25 pounds (I have 3-4 pounds to go for my next target weight of 145), and as of August my diabetes has been in remission. I walk 6 days a week, 2-3 miles minimum. I am not doing keto since some fruits and veggies that are beneficial for diabetes aren’t keto, but often incorporate keto recipes into my routine. Glad I have an endocrinologist who was encouraging when I said I wanted to try to control the diabetes with diet and lifestyle changes instead of meds. I was what is considered “skinny fat”, with most of the fat in my middle, which apparently puts you at a high risk for diabetes. I knew that I was overweight, but the diagnosis was a total shock. Thankful that I found Dr. Fung’s books and videos while researching, it helped to put me on the right track!
If you're eating a high fat low carb diet it is unlikely your diabetes is in "remission". Your blood sugar is low because you are not eating any carbs. But your insulin resistance is likely to still be very high if you are eating a lot of fat even if you lose weight. Insulin resistance/diabetes is not caused by eating carbs including sugar. It is caused by eating too much fat. If you are truly cured of diabetes you should be able to eat carbs including sugar like a healthy person can. (I assume you're talking about type 2 diabetes) Also, high fat diets greatly increase your risk of heart disease. They are not healthy.
@@donwinston Also, I did mention that I am NOT eating keto, thus not eating high fat. Just low carb. My diet is approved by my endocrinologist and she has been very pleased with my progress.
@@donwinston Don't be so ridiculous. Fat has virtually no impact on insulin levels. Protein has a moderate effect on insulin level and carbohydrate (definition: long chains of SUGAR molecules) has an enormous affect. Too much sugar leads to insulin resistance, to weight gain and ultimately, to diabetes. Either you are trying to be deliberately controversial or you are not very bright! Whichever, I wish you would stop posting rubbish!
I don't really follow trends...I follow my body. I've tried every diet out there and each have pros and cons. Some of the cons are deal breakers. I've learned a lot from people including you Dr. Fung so I have a combination of knowledge that I am grateful for but what I'm doing right now is following common sense fasting, eating and exercise and I feel amazing!🤗
Dr Fung, I lost 55 pounds since 2020 through intermittent fasting. My dad lost 30 Pounds. God bless you. You are my saviour. You deserve a Nobel prize. I am just one step short of becoming a male model. Any way to gain and maintain good muscle, without messing up my metabolism?
My dear doctor. We are soo blessed to have you. You cannot believe if i tell you how many people have changed their lives because of you. Especially i and my mother. My mother used to bet overweight and she began to have problems with blood pressure and movements but after discovering your book everything has changed. We are soo thankful for everything. Thank you so much.
I'm 65 years old. I used the keto way of eating and intermittent fasting together starting in July, 2020. I have lost 53 lbs to date and going strong. I did not cheat during Thanksgiving or Christmas. It was easy because I did not have any cravings. I am at peace with my body. I don't have that niggling desire for refined carbs/sugary snacks that would compulsively drive me to eat them. I'm so joyful because of the total calm I feel!
I can personally say that once I started a ketovore lifestyle 8 months ago, Fasting was automatic because I wasn’t hungry. OMAD is my daily routine now. I understand what you’re saying regarding using it as a tool, but I concur with Dr. Eric Westman that if you’re doing keto right, the hunger is gone and fasting becomes the norm. 👍 thanks for all you’re excellent videos! 😊
Dr Fung, I lost 10kg in month by inter mitten and OMAD fasting. From 115kg to 105kg. My diabetes, blood sugar 2 hours after meal hover around 6.0 to 6.5, it used to be around 7.5. Thanks you.
I am greatful for all you have done. I am 33 yrs old diagnosed with diabetes 5 months ago I thought I was doomed but thanks to you now I am hopeful that I can beat it. My HgbA1c was 15 now it is just 6. decreased my metformine dose and am on my way to be free of it with just FASTING
Dr Fung, I started at 152lbs I’m 5’2 and was categorized as obese and my stomach is bigger than the rest of my body; I haven’t seen a doctor for over 3 years cos I’m scared he will tell me I’m diabetic cos I started feeling sleepy and tired after every each meal; so I decided to do fasting, 16 hrs start and then move to 20 hrs when I felt that my hunger is less extreme and what motivates me was I am losing lbs everyday! Almost 2 lbs a day! and I continue to do it for 1 month and now in down 133 lbs. I gave up sugar on my coffee and cream ; I hated it in the beginning but I did it so I won’t mess up my fasting, no rice, no bread, no milk ( I use evaporated milk on my coffee) and no sugar, I gave up my ice cream, my Bundt cakes and chocolates! I’m 1month and 2 weeks now on my lifestyle change I call it and hopefully I continue this path. Thank God my husband went with me too and he too lost weight and tummy! We are so happy and sex life is back to like when we’re teenagers!😅Thank you yo your videos!
Recently I was told by my doctor that I needed to go on medication for my type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Both were very bad, so I decided to change my diet and lifestyle. I do not like taking pills, so I told her I would try and control them by dieting and exercising. I told her to give me one month, and if it hadn't worked I would go on the pills. Three weeks later, I went back to see her; she took my blood and cholesterol test and told me to come back in one week. When I went back for the results, I was shocked - the doctor looked at me and said, "Mr King, I don’t know what you are doing, but whatever it is, continue to do it - we can't see any signs that you’re diabetic and your cholesterol is normal! We don’t need to put you on any medication." To my surprise, she didn’t even ask me what I was doing - but you can! I’m not a vegetarian, but my diet is 99% vegetables and I do fasting regularly!!
I am a whole foods plant based eater as well. I feels sooo good with this kind of eating. I tried keto and paleo soooo many times in the past. Was so constipated and lethargic, had oily skin and hair as well. On plants, I have endless energy, and am regular! IF is new to me as of a week ago. Am doing 16/8. It’s so easy. No weight loss yet, as I want to those lose 15 last stubborn pounds. My next change is to stop grazing all day, am a nibbler between meals. Stress eating, and bad habit. Then I think I will see results. Dr Fung is the best. Am glad I found his channel and advices.
Gratitude to Dr Jason Fung, who gave me the understanding of IF and how it works to reduce Insulin , unprocessed foods etc etc. I am looking forward to reduce weight.
"It's only hunger" ... that hunger is much more manageable when the insulin levels are down, via a keto diet! I couldn't fast until I mastered the keto diet and got my insulin levels down. suddenly, my hunger changed from lion level to purring kitten levels!
I found that too. I had to keto adapt first because my blood sugar was too unstable to suddenly fast and I have to keep insulin down consistently for long term results. I like to do a Paleo type diet at a keto carb level a lot of the time. Every now and then such as during Christmas I have a carb day and eat as much carb as I like. lol
Started fasting 8 months ago 18+ hour fasts. Changed my life. Thanks doc. Trying to get my mother and brother to try it. They still think they'll die if they go for more than 4 hours with out muffins
I was programmed to fail on every diet I ever went on my whole life and The Fasting Method has changed my life!!! I have totally reversed that way of thinking! Thank you Megan Ramos, Dr. Fung and the outstanding coaches, Carolann,Jeff, John, Larry!!!
Stay away from all commercialized keto products. They keep you addicted to carbohydrate foods. Eat only real foods. I do 16/8 with keto and lost 70 pounds in 18 months. I started at 62. I am now 67. Never to late to start.
Hi thanks alot ,I have been following intermittent fasting 16/8 for the past two months and I has had reduced almost my weight from 76 kg to 62 kg along with complete cutdown of sugar,packed food,carbonated beverages,rice and wheat 🌾 . Now am feeling energetic and my blood pressure reduced and my diabetes ( pre-diabe) is in remission but yet am due to do my Hba1c...I will update that soon once I have those details but in overall am really thankful for your relentless efforts to educate peoples ....
@@Archana-dm3cs hi I would like to update my latest Hba1c as well right now am in UK ,when I have checked it came 5.1.. I do follow 16:8 pattern every day some days it may extend to 18:4
Intermetting fasting way of life since i got all your books even the cancer code got it yesterday . Lost 14 kilos in 1 year ,no keto but mediterranean diet ,work for me .May i say i eat more healthy but i have the odd days were a enjoy the not so good food but next day i follow my protocolo of life . 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hii mate !! a random person once helped me to loose my weight, and now i want to pass it on to someone else, with workout and diet one thing that helped me to loose my weight rapidly was coffee , with which i am maintaining my weight as well, it keeps me energized for the whole day and boosted my workout as well, and it is the purest coffee i have ever tasted, and it really works trust me, nplink.net/epjrkes5 this is the coffee i was talking about, go ahead buy it, you will start seeing your results in a month
Dr Fung changed my life!! Not only do I have control over my over eating, my A1c has been lowered, I have more energy and my body is looking amazing!! Dr fung you are simply a lifesaver and I love u for the research ❤
Thanks Dr Fung. Your videos have helped me understand the mechanism and physiology of IF . I lost over 10kg with using IF and water fasting. I have the most energy and best part is I do exercise to the extent that I enjoy and don’t have to torture myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is invaluable and it is such a service .🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
WELL said sir! PLEASE keep on, keeping on - all the info' you provide through your web site, the Diet Doctor web site, your podcast interviews, etc. is unfortunately appreciated by far too few, but as you said, people are looking at Keto more & more. Wouldn't it be extraordinary if the health of the world improved due in large part to your hard work? THANK YOU so much!!
Keto and intermittent fasting has improved ALL my health issues including emotional health, cravings, migraines, motion sickness, brain fog, energy, etc... Lipedema and venous insufficiency still present but MUCH better and manageable. I encourage everyone to try it for whatever health issues you have. Then once you get going with this walk 30min in your fasted window and strength train 30min everyday and you will be amazed at how great you feel and how your life changes. I cheer you on. I can not imagine going back to the way i used to eat and all the problems with a high carb diet. I was always hungry and thinking about eating which is not a calm and efficient way to live. Ketosis is amazing at managing food cravings & mood. I will soon be in my 4th year. Intermittent fasting is improving. I keep practicing it to get stronger as I want this to be a lifestyle. I dont rush my fasting, my body is getting accustomed to it. I average about 20hrs a day. One day I would like to do a 36hr once a week. Just not there yet mentally. It will come.
I do slow carb with OMAD and it's super easier to lose weight. I spent most of quarantine eating a lot of carbs so I've gained 30 lbs. I'm on my way to cutting it all out again!
Dr Adkins wrote is first book in 1972. His ‘induction’ phase was a ketogenic diet and in the book he credits various studies that helped him develop it. He was vilified by most in the medical community and low fat was adopted as a ‘heart-healthy’ diet and pushed on the American public. Dr. Atkins wasn’t overweight when he died of a fall on ice. He certainly deserves a great deal of credit for recognizing the impact of carbs and role of insulin in weight loss.
I have lost 56 pounds on a whole foods plant based diet plus intermittent fasting. Both the fasting and the whole plant foods have greatly improved my health.
I'm WFPB for 5 yrs, lost 25 lbs & then the weight loss stopped. I was overeating 6-8 times a day constantly raising my insulin levels. Been intermittent fasting 19/5 the last 35 days & lost 17 lbs. I'm now @ weight loss goal thanks to Dr. Fung, now just a few more pounds in order to stay a little under so I don't go over goal.
Am WFPB also. Keto and Paleo just dragged me down. I have so much energy now. IF is new to me. Doing the 16/8 for start. Very easy. I just have to stop the snacking now between lunch and dinner, and after dinner, then I think I will see results. Am down 29 lbs, 15 last ones to go. It’s nice not to diet, calculate, or weight any food. I like the sanity of IF.
@@Highwayman7549 I used to also be the same when it came to joining the gym and it was in the time when instagram only just started. So I was just following ANYONE who was fitness related and not always the guys who were the best at it - just genuine people who were tracking their progress too. I then surrounded myself with them and if ever felt like I was losing motivation - i'd have a "get away" bubble with instagram :)
Down 56lbs with if and keto since October 1st (230 to 174lbs.) I got blood work before and after , everything has improved , triglycerides are way down and no longer prediabetic. Past low calorie diets always left me fatigued with loss of muscle. I now feel stronger and have more energy all without exercise.
Dr Fung, this all makes so much sense. The hunger shall pass and when it does you will know that you are entering ketosis. Your body is now using existing body fat for energy!
At 51 years old I was 235, had gout, back pain, could barely lift my left arm from arthritis, was prediabetic, headaches, and very high blood pressure. I'm now 55 and have been Intermittent Fasting for the last 4 years. Skip breakfast, 500 cal Lunch, meat and vegetables for dinner. All low carb and now weigh 165, all in 6 months. Weight hasn't change much in 4 years. No medications. My doctor is baffled, I'm not.
You don't get healthy by eating some magic hippy foods no one ate until refrigerated trucking, you get healthy from avoiding bad foods like sugar, grain, high sugar fruit and anything in a package.
When I do OMAD (One Meal A Day), I find I can bypass the lunchtime hunger by going for a long walk, typically 5+ miles. I time the walk to occur during the key hunger hours, about 11 AM to 1 PM. After the walk, the hunger is minor.
Only reason I'm doing omad and keto is because I wanna be shredded and run shirtless lol. Also, I've already lost 3lbs in one week which is awesome and should be ready for summer.
I started intermitting fasting a month ago, and I just stop putting weight one, now I'm waiting to slowly get some weight one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge,
Thank you for sharing Dr Fung! You’re helpful information and guidance has helped soo many of us, we can’t thank you enough! God’s Blessings to you and your wonderful family, stay healthy and safe and keep blessings is all with your knowledge ,friends from Hawaii 🌴🥰😎🌺🙏
Thank you Dr. Fund for your informative talks. You keep me going when I want to reach for something I should not. Your story of the gentleman sounds like me (and I am sure many others too). I did intermittent fasting and keto in 2019 and lost 55 lbs. I was able to get off the insulin. Then a stressful 2 months came into my life and I slowly moved back to eating carbs and not fasting. I spent 2020 with little exercise and a modified keto diet with no fasting. I gained 40 pounds back. This month I have recommitted to the keto diet and intermittent fasting and am on my way to a successful year. I look forward to your talks please keep doing them.
I do intermittent Fasting and was aware of Autofphagy but it’s great to have benefits and the whole process broken down …. It’s something that I will definitely do more of now I’m more far more informed about the bodies response to a lack over food over a given period. Thks.
Every day l watch these videos now and l am so happy because l am on the journey now. My doctor suggested putting me on victroza because of my blood tests. A year ago l was told l was pre D and l proceeded to diet but gained weight instead. Now the test taken two weeks ago said l was Type 2 D. She suggested l take A medicine to take down my insulin and curb my appetite but l looked it up and it can make you feel nauseous and throw up. It has also been linked to causing cancer and other things. I do not want that!!!! She did tell me the key words l heard which were insulin resistant and it was those words that led me to find on RUclips Dr. Fung!! Now l see why this occurred because of listening to Dr. .Fung l understand what insulin what insulin resistant means and l am on day three of fasting .
Thank you for all information you have uploaded. I have been trying to loose weight for a long time. I have tried intermittent fasting. WOW it is working for me. I also watch what I eat as well. Thank you
Thank you Doc. Keto and IF changed my life. Your books were a great resource on fasting. I’ve been told to come off my BP meds within 5 months of starting this journey. I’m a year in and I don’t intend to go back to the old me. Thank you so much. 😉💪🏾
Good morning Dr.Fung, greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Tq for your lovely and valuable sharing and reminder 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Looking forward to hear more from you 👩❤️💋👩
Maybe you should make Dr. Fung’s Fasting Foods. It could be cookies, bars, crackers and chips. Every box would contain fasting instructions. Nothing more. Btw. Thank you!! Fasting is working so well for me.
Loved this video, very low audio though. That's amazing that you started the IT trend. Thank you thank you thank you! What was Dave's method to get over the hunger period?

I thought, hey...if I can ride the hunger wave, I can ride a nicotine withdrawal wave, too. And I'm just over 2 weeks cigg free AND losing weight while fasting. How good is fasting? Life changing I tell you. Thank you Dr Fung.
Good job!
It’s Spiritual
I remember Dr Eric Berg mentioning once there is a relation between the cravings triggered by nicotine (and other drugs) and sugar because they trigger the same addictive response in the brain. So therefore if you cut out carbohydrates it actually results in a better chance of also cutting the cravings/addiction caused by nicotine too. For some reason that piece of information got stuck in my mind.
@@elleem3951 agreed. Staying in ketosis helps keep me sober.
This is awesome! Glad that you took a giant step to lose weight and remove nicotine. How's everything going? Are you using anything to track your progress?
Love 16/8 IF. Highest wt 405 - no longer “diet” and just maintaining at roughly 165. Still use a combo of IF & Keto (low carb / huge sugar reduction). My research started with DR JASON FUNG videos and branched out. I love cooking and creating extremely satiating meals and honestly don’t really get hungry. I just don’t eat my 1st meal until after 12:30pm. I eat WAY healthier than ever in my life...and I am over 65. My meals are incredible and never resemble “diet” food. I have heart and joint issues, but feel better than I have in decades. I now concentrate more on life vs. where’s my Big Mac? Never thought this possible. Thanks Dr Fung!
Intermittent fasting did wonders for me without keto. Lost 30 pounds on 24:1, enjoying everything I love on a non deprivation diet. Thank You Dr. Fung.
Great job!
@@DrJasonFung - Thank You. You were the inspiration & the wake-up call.
@@newb_beee8233 - Initially it was between 16:1 to 18:1, then 24:1. I lost my weight on a STRICTLY non-deprivation diet. I enjoyed whatever I felt like eating within the 1 hour permitted time frame & that was it. No guilt trip whatsoever. I don’t believe in depriving myself, as it’s a guarantee of failure & will set one on a path of endless recriminations. However, I did not over eat. I decided on what I wanted for the day, stuck to it & ate in moderation, during my allotted eat time. It worked wonders for me.
@@newb_beee8233 - Nope. As I’ve said “it’s a non-deprivation intermittent fast”. Like Dr Fung, I think “diet” is a dirty word. Just eat in moderation whatever you desire, during the 1 hour eating time frame. I enjoy desserts, potatoes, rice, bread & anything else I want. However, after the 1 hour eating time frame, you must not eat until the next eating schedule, if you are to have a successful outcome. Have a good one!
Wait, I'm confused. On the 24:1, did you eat after fasting for 24 hours or did you do the 23:1 which is eating for one hour and fasting 23 hours?
I don't think it's even a real hunger. More like old habits of snacking, eating out of boredom and carb craving. Don't give in!
💯 I mostly eat when I'm bored
Yeah it's a lot harder than you think -- to not give in. Binge eating is a serious addiction, just like alcoholism or smoking
It's also gut microbiome starved of their usual starchy sugary fix, ignore them and they will die.
Do true
Hi, I'm new to keto diet and not sure if I'm eating too many carbs. I stick to 50g total, but blood ketones never get to 1.5. I'm also IF 16:8 and completed 8 weeks of 16 weeks marathon training. I'm not losing weight and now wondering if I'm doing too many things at the same time? Any advice appreciated.
Hi from France doctor Fung. I am down 34kg during the last two years with intermittent fasting (from 115kg to 81kg). I feel better than I ever did and am training to run semi marathon. The best part is that I don't think about food though I used to be obsessed. I feel free and it gives me so much confidence and energy!
Keep it up!
Yes its amazing how all the thoughts of food go away.
Fantastic! Enjoy doing your marathons.. know anything is possible now.. weight-free. All the best for 2021
Bravo
@@aristidesaint-jean2322 Merci 😉
The simplest way that I've found to explain keto and therapeutic fasting is to tell people that my method, of losing weight and keeping it off, is to keep my insulin as close to basal level as often as possible.
Dr Fung you blew my mind with the obesity code and changed the course of my life and also the way I feed my young kids. I’m down to my ideal weight which has eluded me for years. Thank you for your brilliant mind and new theory of obesity, it’s totally hormonal!
You deserve an award for all of the lives you’ve changed. I’m down 70lbs and have stopped taking insulin because of your videos/literature. I was doing ok last year but I let myself go during the holidays. When I had my Dr. appt on Jan. 4 this year my A1C was high and so were my triglycerides. I started the next day with my fasting routine and I’m down 25 lbs. since then. Thank you for all you do and for giving people hope for a longer and better quality of life.
I am a university atomic and molecular physics professor. I have very carefully watched the youtube lectures of Dr.Jason Fung's at least three times of each. I firmly believe that his main points (arguments) are correct judging from thermodynamical scientific standpoint. I have now started to systematically study biochemistry on my own. I also intend to selfstudy main branches of biology from molecular physics standpoint. Therefore, armed with sound and rigorous biological basis, within three to four years time, I am intending to study intermittent fasting from molecular physics standpoint. In the end, I would like to provide a firm physical basis to support Dr. Fung's life changing theories. You are not alone dear Dr. Fung.
With my deepest regards.
.
What did you learn about intermittent fasting
We need more people like you & Dr. Fung. All the best with your endeavours 💜
I have been doing intermediate fasting lost 15 lb
Interesting, intelligent, truthful.
Jason Fung is the only guy on the internet l actually believe on these subjects.
I am a 69 year old woman I started intermittent fasting in 2017 and then added the keto diet and lost 50 pounds and never gained it back. I had tried every kind of diet before but the hunger kept me from going forward. The hunger stops taking over your life, when you eat low carb.
I'm 65 and started IF and Keto about 5 months ago and yes the two together pretty well push the cravings away.
I am 66 and started 16/8 and keto at age 62 and lost 70 pounds and never gained it back. No hunger. Thats the keto to a proper keto lifestyle.
Congrats that's awesome 👌 👏
Happy to know. Congrats!!! Which are the carbs that should be avoided?
@@thetree7694 Anything with sugar, which is almost all condiments. Eat only above ground grown vegetables, all leafy greens, protein without dipped in junk, and healthy fats. Absolutely no seed oils. They cause inflammation, swollen joints etc.
I IF for 20 hours a day .... I eat restricted calories and keep carbs to 80- 100 ... I’m 64 and it works for me ... when it stops working I’ll take the carbs down to 50-70.... etc I love only eating four hours a day .... I feel emotionally more balanced and these days with the pandemic I need all the balance I can get ....
I’m 63 230lbs... fasting and IF... trying to stay with 20- 4 IF.... You give me hope❗️
Kara what is your fat grams intake..im trying to find a balance. thank you!
Dr. FUNG talks about not restricting calories in his videos!
@@annehollier4632 , just don't overeat!
Dr. Funk is my hero. I will be 75 shortly and I began his program with a six day fast not knowing what I was doing. I never felt better I owe my life to him because I did have a mini stroke and this is keeping me from having more I know his attitude is right I can never thank you enough for what he’s done for me
For me combining intermittent fasting and keto diet is the only way if your fat is stubborn as mine was. I've lost 7kgs in months and going strong, i feel mental clarity, and feel generally very good. Im 60 and feel happier and living to the full again. Meditation and creativity in combination works wonders for me.
I used Carnivore combined with IF OMAD to reverse my T2D in 11 month. I started the Carnivore WOE on December 6, 2019 and at November 19, 2020 my doc took me off of my last diabetes drug (pill) and declared me a latent diabetic. I also lost 30+ kilogram. I reversed my NAFL I was diagnosed with in July 2019 too. I was a diabetic, a known diabetic, since 2000.
Also be aware that carb restriction can make you feel lowsy for a few days or even a week or two. After about 2 weeks or so, you will have energy and focus like you never had before. Don't give up on the diet. I have been doing it for over seven months and my health and well-being is so amazing! I have gone from 38" waist to under 32".
Can you share about food you eat during diet?
@@malintheng9050 I eat mainly meat, eggs, cheese, cream, butter and oils of all kinds, peanuts, cashews, nuts in general, green vegetables like broccoli, green beans, salads, spinach. I use swerve sweetener and full fat cream and unsweetened cocoa powder to make chocolate ice cream. I eat in limited amounts tomatoes and tomato sauces. I eat limited amounts of berries (blue and strawberry mainly). I have learned to make low carb chocolates that are great. Initially, I kept my carb count to no more than 50 or 60 grams per day. Now, I will go up to 100-150 grams per day with no problems. My waistline has been around 31-32 inches for over a year now and my blood work is great. I have effectively cured my diabetes so long as I keep the carbs low. I lift weights about 2 times per week for 10-15 minutes exercising the large muscle groups. I focus on each muscle group one time per week to allow for sufficient rest to recover. I highly recommend strength training like this. It does wonders and compliments the diet. I did not start exercising until I lost most of the excess body fat, about 4 or 5 months after I start the diet. I hope that helps! Good luck.
Thanks so much I will try to do follow your advice
Jason Fung MVP hands down. Thank you, doc
I was diagnosed with type 2 last February. By following a low-carb, whole food, grain-free diet with daily 16:8 IF I have lost 25 pounds (I have 3-4 pounds to go for my next target weight of 145), and as of August my diabetes has been in remission. I walk 6 days a week, 2-3 miles minimum. I am not doing keto since some fruits and veggies that are beneficial for diabetes aren’t keto, but often incorporate keto recipes into my routine. Glad I have an endocrinologist who was encouraging when I said I wanted to try to control the diabetes with diet and lifestyle changes instead of meds. I was what is considered “skinny fat”, with most of the fat in my middle, which apparently puts you at a high risk for diabetes. I knew that I was overweight, but the diagnosis was a total shock. Thankful that I found Dr. Fung’s books and videos while researching, it helped to put me on the right track!
If you're eating a high fat low carb diet it is unlikely your diabetes is in "remission". Your blood sugar is low because you are not eating any carbs. But your insulin resistance is likely to still be very high if you are eating a lot of fat even if you lose weight. Insulin resistance/diabetes is not caused by eating carbs including sugar. It is caused by eating too much fat. If you are truly cured of diabetes you should be able to eat carbs including sugar like a healthy person can. (I assume you're talking about type 2 diabetes) Also, high fat diets greatly increase your risk of heart disease. They are not healthy.
@@donwinston Per my endocrinologist diabetes is in remission 🤷♀️
@@donwinston Also, I did mention that I am NOT eating keto, thus not eating high fat. Just low carb. My diet is approved by my endocrinologist and she has been very pleased with my progress.
Can I ask what specific fruits and veggies you are referring to that help with diabetes. And congratulations on your health accomplishments.
@@donwinston Don't be so ridiculous. Fat has virtually no impact on insulin levels. Protein has a moderate effect on insulin level and carbohydrate (definition: long chains of SUGAR molecules) has an enormous affect. Too much sugar leads to insulin resistance, to weight gain and ultimately, to diabetes.
Either you are trying to be deliberately controversial or you are not very bright! Whichever, I wish you would stop posting rubbish!
I don't really follow trends...I follow my body. I've tried every diet out there and each have pros and cons. Some of the cons are deal breakers. I've learned a lot from people including you Dr. Fung so I have a combination of knowledge that I am grateful for but what I'm doing right now is following common sense fasting, eating and exercise and I feel amazing!🤗
Dr Fung, I lost 55 pounds since 2020 through intermittent fasting. My dad lost 30 Pounds. God bless you. You are my saviour. You deserve a Nobel prize. I am just one step short of becoming a male model. Any way to gain and maintain good muscle, without messing up my metabolism?
Check Thomas delauer has some videos on this
LOL
I have *gained* muscle while intermittent fasting and doing weight training.
My dear doctor. We are soo blessed to have you. You cannot believe if i tell you how many people have changed their lives because of you. Especially i and my mother. My mother used to bet overweight and she began to have problems with blood pressure and movements but after discovering your book everything has changed. We are soo thankful for everything. Thank you so much.
I'm 65 years old. I used the keto way of eating and intermittent fasting together starting in July, 2020. I have lost 53 lbs to date and going strong. I did not cheat during Thanksgiving or Christmas. It was easy because I did not have any cravings. I am at peace with my body. I don't have that niggling desire for refined carbs/sugary snacks that would compulsively drive me to eat them. I'm so joyful because of the total calm I feel!
Congratulations! May I ask... Any loose skin?
I can personally say that once I started a ketovore lifestyle 8 months ago, Fasting was automatic because I wasn’t hungry. OMAD is my daily routine now. I understand what you’re saying regarding using it as a tool, but I concur with Dr. Eric Westman that if you’re doing keto right, the hunger is gone and fasting becomes the norm. 👍 thanks for all you’re excellent videos! 😊
Dr Fung, I lost 10kg in month by inter mitten and OMAD fasting. From 115kg to 105kg. My diabetes, blood sugar 2 hours after meal hover around 6.0 to 6.5, it used to be around 7.5.
Thanks you.
I have lost more than 13 kg. More importantly I started appreciating the good on my plate more after fasting
Yes that's an important factor I think, I appreciate the food more. In other "diets" it's about the bad carbs or the good fat.
Wht kind of fast u have donw
Aakash,please share your routine, pattern and window.It will be very helpful for many people
Can you share about what food do you eat?
Agreed--I have always appreciated food, but never so much as now in eating windows.
I am greatful for all you have done. I am 33 yrs old diagnosed with diabetes 5 months ago I thought I was doomed
but thanks to you now I am hopeful that I can beat it. My HgbA1c was 15 now it is just 6.
decreased my metformine dose and am on my way to be free of it with just FASTING
Dr Fung, I started at 152lbs I’m 5’2 and was categorized as obese and my stomach is bigger than the rest of my body; I haven’t seen a doctor for over 3 years cos I’m scared he will tell me I’m diabetic cos I started feeling sleepy and tired after every each meal; so I decided to do fasting, 16 hrs start and then move to 20 hrs when I felt that my hunger is less extreme and what motivates me was I am losing lbs everyday! Almost 2 lbs a day! and I continue to do it for 1 month and now in down 133 lbs. I gave up sugar on my coffee and cream ; I hated it in the beginning but I did it so I won’t mess up my fasting, no rice, no bread, no milk ( I use evaporated milk on my coffee) and no sugar, I gave up my ice cream, my Bundt cakes and chocolates! I’m 1month and 2 weeks now on my lifestyle change I call it and hopefully I continue this path. Thank God my husband went with me too and he too lost weight and tummy! We are so happy and sex life is back to like when we’re teenagers!😅Thank you yo your videos!
Thank you Dr. Fung! I have lost over 72lbs because over your videos/advice. I’ve watched all your videos and have read “Obesity Code” multiple times!
You are changing so many people’s lives. Keep going doctor! Thank you for having integrity and drive to change people’s lives.
I’m so happy you have your own channel now!🥰
Recently I was told by my doctor that I needed to go on medication for my type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Both were very bad, so I decided to change my diet and lifestyle. I do not like taking pills, so I told her I would try and control them by dieting and exercising. I told her to give me one month, and if it hadn't worked I would go on the pills. Three weeks later, I went back to see her; she took my blood and cholesterol test and told me to come back in one week. When I went back for the results, I was shocked - the doctor looked at me and said, "Mr King, I don’t know what you are doing, but whatever it is, continue to do it - we can't see any signs that you’re diabetic and your cholesterol is normal! We don’t need to put you on any medication." To my surprise, she didn’t even ask me what I was doing - but you can! I’m not a vegetarian, but my diet is 99% vegetables and I do fasting regularly!!
She didn't want to be burned at the stake by the AMA proclaiming her a heretic. If she knows what actually works and speaks of it, she's doomed.
#Joe cap now you are no longer diabetic this means you are cured and normanl persy
@@sadiiqshoonbe7174 no more diabetes, it's gone!
Isn’t it odd that she wouldn’t ask? You would think she would be highly curious as to how to help her other patients.
I am a whole foods plant based eater as well. I feels sooo good with this kind of eating. I tried keto and paleo soooo many times in the past. Was so constipated and lethargic, had oily skin and hair as well. On plants, I have endless energy, and am regular! IF is new to me as of a week ago. Am doing 16/8. It’s so easy. No weight loss yet, as I want to those lose 15 last stubborn pounds. My next change is to stop grazing all day, am a nibbler between meals. Stress eating, and bad habit. Then I think I will see results. Dr Fung is the best. Am glad I found his channel and advices.
Gratitude to Dr Jason Fung, who gave me the understanding of IF and how it works to reduce Insulin , unprocessed foods etc etc.
I am looking forward to reduce weight.
"It's only hunger" ... that hunger is much more manageable when the insulin levels are down, via a keto diet! I couldn't fast until I mastered the keto diet and got my insulin levels down. suddenly, my hunger changed from lion level to purring kitten levels!
I couldn’t fast either till i was in ketosis. Now i fast daily 20hrs.
I found that too. I had to keto adapt first because my blood sugar was too unstable to suddenly fast and I have to keep insulin down consistently for long term results. I like to do a Paleo type diet at a keto carb level a lot of the time. Every now and then such as during Christmas I have a carb day and eat as much carb as I like. lol
Started fasting 8 months ago 18+ hour fasts.
Changed my life.
Thanks doc.
Trying to get my mother and brother to try it.
They still think they'll die if they go for more than 4 hours with out muffins
LOL that's what my mom thinks so I don't even bother telling her about fasting.
I’m doing paleo with intermittent fasting. Love you Dr Jason Fung !!!🥰🥰🥰
Every time I watch one of your lectures, I get something different out of it.
I was programmed to fail on every diet I ever went on my whole life and The Fasting Method has changed my life!!! I have totally reversed that way of thinking! Thank you Megan Ramos, Dr. Fung and the outstanding coaches, Carolann,Jeff, John, Larry!!!
Thank you Dr. Fung. It is thanks to you that I have been able to start to lose weight and now feeling much better
Great job!

Thank you Dr. Fung!! Lost 39 pounds so far, big ass hug from California!!!😁👍🏽👍🏽
Started OMAD and eating normal foods and walking 10,000 steps daily from the first of January 2021. Lost 3kg so far.
What do you mean by normal foods?
Meals that I cook for the family.
Thank you Dr Fung i am on my keto and IF but loosing slowly and my diabetes going also, but slowly i am still thankful.
Stay away from all commercialized keto products. They keep you addicted to carbohydrate foods. Eat only real foods. I do 16/8 with keto and lost 70 pounds in 18 months. I started at 62. I am now 67. Never to late to start.
What is your fasting protocol? You might try upping it to alternate day fasting.
I think the best advice to give is to make it a habit! Keep it up people!
i have to say
cos of dr fung and his video
i lost 70 lbs just by interment fasting and low carb
thank you very much
Hi thanks alot ,I have been following intermittent fasting 16/8 for the past two months and I has had reduced almost my weight from 76 kg to 62 kg along with complete cutdown of sugar,packed food,carbonated beverages,rice and wheat 🌾 . Now am feeling energetic and my blood pressure reduced and my diabetes ( pre-diabe) is in remission but yet am due to do my Hba1c...I will update that soon once I have those details but in overall am really thankful for your relentless efforts to educate peoples ....

Dr. Fung thanks so much. I now do IF & Keto. There are so many who scare you into low fat high carb diets.
Hii mate !! a random person once helped me to loose my weight, and now i want to pass it on to someone else, with workout and diet one thing that helped me to loose my weight rapidly was coffee , with which i am maintaining my weight as well, it keeps me energized for the whole day and boosted my workout as well, and it is the purest coffee i have ever tasted, and it really works trust me, nplink.net/epjrkes5 this is the coffee i was talking about, go ahead buy it, you will start seeing your results in a month
Excellent advice, right here.
Thank you muchly for sharing this important information with us all.
Take care everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I love to do intermittent fasting. It helps more. Thanks so much doctor. It changed my life.
I'd like to buy Dr. Fung Merch. A possible design for a t shirt could be the front cover of "life in the fasting lane"
Dr Fung changed my life!! Not only do I have control over my over eating, my A1c has been lowered, I have more energy and my body is looking amazing!! Dr fung you are simply a lifesaver and I love u for the research ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Dr Fung. Your videos have helped me understand the mechanism and physiology of IF . I lost over 10kg with using IF and water fasting. I have the most energy and best part is I do exercise to the extent that I enjoy and don’t have to torture myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is invaluable and it is such a service .🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
WELL said sir! PLEASE keep on, keeping on - all the info' you provide through your web site, the Diet Doctor web site, your podcast interviews, etc. is unfortunately appreciated by far too few, but as you said, people are looking at Keto more & more. Wouldn't it be extraordinary if the health of the world improved due in large part to your hard work? THANK YOU so much!!
Keto and intermittent fasting has improved ALL my health issues including emotional health, cravings, migraines, motion sickness, brain fog, energy, etc...
Lipedema and venous insufficiency still present but MUCH better and manageable.
I encourage everyone to try it for whatever health issues you have.
Then once you get going with this walk 30min in your fasted window and strength train 30min everyday and you will be amazed at how great you feel and how your life changes. I cheer you on.
I can not imagine going back to the way i used to eat and all the problems with a high carb diet. I was always hungry and thinking about eating which is not a calm and efficient way to live.
Ketosis is amazing at managing food cravings & mood. I will soon be in my 4th year. Intermittent fasting is improving. I keep practicing it to get stronger as I want this to be a lifestyle. I dont rush my fasting, my body is getting accustomed to it. I average about 20hrs a day. One day I would like to do a 36hr once a week. Just not there yet mentally. It will come.
I do slow carb with OMAD and it's super easier to lose weight. I spent most of quarantine eating a lot of carbs so I've gained 30 lbs. I'm on my way to cutting it all out again!
Love your work, Doc. But, you have to give Dr. Atkins some credit for bringing a low carb diet in the 80's
He actually does
He's dead, died of a heart attack eating a meat diet!
Dr Adkins wrote is first book in 1972. His ‘induction’ phase was a ketogenic diet and in the book he credits various studies that helped him develop it. He was vilified by most in the medical community and low fat was adopted as a ‘heart-healthy’ diet and pushed on the American public. Dr. Atkins wasn’t overweight when he died of a fall on ice. He certainly deserves a great deal of credit
for recognizing the impact of carbs and role of insulin in weight loss.
Thanks to you and Dr. Mindy Pelz, I’ve found a sustainable way to lose weight safely and eat clean ❤️
I have lost 56 pounds on a whole foods plant based diet plus intermittent fasting. Both the fasting and the whole plant foods have greatly improved my health.
That's what I am doing debbie bunny. I think it's the best approach to good health. I will always stay wfpb as much as possible.
I'm WFPB for 5 yrs, lost 25 lbs & then the weight loss stopped. I was overeating 6-8 times a day constantly raising my insulin levels. Been intermittent fasting 19/5 the last 35 days & lost 17 lbs. I'm now @ weight loss goal thanks to Dr. Fung, now just a few more pounds in order to stay a little under so I don't go over goal.
Am WFPB also. Keto and Paleo just dragged me down. I have so much energy now. IF is new to me. Doing the 16/8 for start. Very easy. I just have to stop the snacking now between lunch and dinner, and after dinner, then I think I will see results. Am down 29 lbs, 15 last ones to go. It’s nice not to diet, calculate, or weight any food. I like the sanity of IF.
Me too!
I watch these videos to keep motivated
Good job; keep it up. It's all about surrounding yourself with positive and encouraging videos that align with our own values!
@@sean.momentum yes I get discouraged sometimes and I replay the videos just to convince myself I'm doing the right thing
@@Highwayman7549 I used to also be the same when it came to joining the gym and it was in the time when instagram only just started. So I was just following ANYONE who was fitness related and not always the guys who were the best at it - just genuine people who were tracking their progress too.
I then surrounded myself with them and if ever felt like I was losing motivation - i'd have a "get away" bubble with instagram :)
I do that too for same reason .
Down 56lbs with if and keto since October 1st (230 to 174lbs.) I got blood work before and after , everything has improved , triglycerides are way down and no longer prediabetic. Past low calorie diets always left me fatigued with loss of muscle. I now feel stronger and have more energy all without exercise.
Love you Dr. Fung, keep saving lives out here, we need you!
Dr. Fung thank you for sharing.
Dr Fung, this all makes so much sense. The hunger shall pass and when it does you will know that you are entering ketosis. Your body is now using existing body fat for energy!
At 51 years old I was 235, had gout, back pain, could barely lift my left arm from arthritis, was prediabetic, headaches, and very high blood pressure. I'm now 55 and have been Intermittent Fasting for the last 4 years. Skip breakfast, 500 cal Lunch, meat and vegetables for dinner. All low carb and now weigh 165, all in 6 months. Weight hasn't change much in 4 years. No medications. My doctor is baffled, I'm not.
Awesome, keep it up!
Dr. Jason share with us your health food recipes. Happy 2021. Thank you for teaching how to be and stay healthy.

Thank you again for your sensible approach and great wisdom !
When I do OMAD (One Meal A Day), I find I can bypass the lunchtime hunger by going for a long walk, typically 5+ miles. I time the walk to occur during the key hunger hours, about 11 AM to 1 PM. After the walk, the hunger is minor.
Long slow paced exercise generates ketones
Dr. Jason Fung thx for sharing your knowledge so clearly. I highly appreciate your efforts. You’re a lighthouse for those seeking health. 🙏👍❤️👏.
I love your content. I have been a huge fan and follower since 2016, when your methods helped me lose 25lbs after I quit nursing my youngest child.
That is awesome!
Thank you for the great video, Dr. Fung!
Only reason I'm doing omad and keto is because I wanna be shredded and run shirtless lol. Also, I've already lost 3lbs in one week which is awesome and should be ready for summer.
Hah ... "It's only hunger" ... so simple and yet so efficient. Thanks Dave, thanks doc.!
You bet!
Thank You for quality content Dr.
We all appreciate it
Best Wishes in 2021 and beyond

Thank you Dr. Fund for your informative talks. You keep me going when I want to reach for something I should not. Your story of the gentleman sounds like me (and I am sure many others too). I did intermittent fasting and keto in 2019 and lost 55 lbs. I was able to get off the insulin. Then a stressful 2 months came into my life and I slowly moved back to eating carbs and not fasting. I spent 2020 with little exercise and a modified keto diet with no fasting. I gained 40 pounds back. This month I have recommitted to the keto diet and intermittent fasting and am on my way to a successful year. I look forward to your talks please keep doing them.
I do intermittent Fasting and was aware of Autofphagy but it’s great to have benefits and the whole process broken down …. It’s something that I will definitely do more of now I’m more far more informed about the bodies response to a lack over food over a given period. Thks.
Every day l watch these videos now and l am so happy because l am on the journey now. My doctor suggested putting me on victroza because of my blood tests. A year ago l was told l was pre D and l proceeded to diet but gained weight instead. Now the test taken two weeks ago said l was Type 2 D. She suggested l take A medicine to take down my insulin and curb my appetite but l looked it up and it can make you feel nauseous and throw up. It has also been linked to causing cancer and other things. I do not want that!!!! She did tell me the key words l heard which were insulin resistant and it was those words that led me to find on RUclips Dr. Fung!! Now l see why this occurred because of listening to Dr. .Fung l understand what insulin what insulin resistant means and l am on day three of fasting .
It’s only hunger. Great advice!
AWESOME. JASON, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!

Intermittent Fasting and Keto, with a little carnivore 2021! 😍💯
Thank you Doc. Keto and IF changed my life. Your books were a great resource on fasting. I’ve been told to come off my BP meds within 5 months of starting this journey. I’m a year in and I don’t intend to go back to the old me. Thank you so much. 😉💪🏾
*_Wonderful!_* 🙂

All the best doc in the new year
Maybe you should make Dr. Fung’s Fasting Foods. It could be cookies, bars, crackers and chips.
Every box would contain fasting instructions. Nothing more.
Btw. Thank you!! Fasting is working so well for me.
Thank you Dr. Fung , greetings from Switzerland
Loved this video, very low audio though. That's amazing that you started the IT trend. Thank you thank you thank you! What was Dave's method to get over the hunger period?
You can turn up the volume, either on the video or on your own computer.
Doin good work, keep it rollin
I love your content and I always look forward to every video 🥰 Would you be interested in talking about dry fasting in one of your next videos? I'd love to hear your opinion on that.
It is important to stay hydrated. Dr. Fung doesn't suggest dry fasting form more than 24 hours at most.
Following your advice changed my life. Thanks Dr Fung . Please Keep your information coming .
I’ve tried them all and found Second Nature to be the best!
