I’ve looked at 12 other videos explaining insulin resistance and this is by FAR the best explanation…..my non scientific brain got it….kudos doc Fung!!!!
Trick that works for me w hunger and getting over sugar cravings. I start w chia seeds in the morning, very filling and no glycemic, and then early afternoon I chop up and eat garlic clove. No hunger at all.
Wonderful... Best solution. Excellent video. That's what I'm doing at the age of 60. Fasting and exercise. Two meals only. Morning and afternoon. And then Fasting till morning. In the evening exercise.
Insulin is working to burn that sugar to energy in the cells. If the body does not allow insulin to enter to cells, you dont get energy and you dont burn that sugar. Thats why you become weak.
Great! Important information. Thanks Dr. Fung. Can someone without diabetes also be insulin resistant or is insuline resistance equivalent to diabetes?
Yes, everyone can be. I am 65, yet not diabetic, but have skin tags for last many many years, which are sure sign of insuline resistances. I wonder, what kept me away from being declared diabetic. Thanks to kind humans like Jason, going low carbs, lost 10kg weight, done away all my hypertension drugs. Amazing and dame easy.
And Dr Neal Barnard explanation is easier to understand for me. Dr Fung says Cell is full, but does not give reason why it is full ? but Dr Bernard explain in much logical, the cell is full, becoz the fat is locking the cell.
Are you talking about ketone levels in your blood or urine? If you are measuring ketones in your urine and they are low, sometimes that is a good thing because it means your body is more efficient and needs to create fewer ketones because it is better at burning fat. If you are referring to ketones in your blood, I don’t know about that. I just know that I heard multiple times that urine ketone testing strips can be useful but only in the beginning of fasting when you are just starting to get into ketosis. If you are more ketone-adapted (i believe this is the right term), you will not continue to excrete a high degree of ketones in your urine. My advice, however, is to verify this by researching the details of this on your own via Dr. Fung’s web site and RUclips channel and Dr. Sten Ekberg’s RUclips channel (I’m sure there are other good ones; those are my current favorites for understanding fasting and ketosis.) Hope that helps?
Dr. Fung has written multiple books on this topic, in addition to his numerous RUclips videos on his channel (Jason Fung). He explains these concepts in much greater detail in those videos and books. The books are called Obesity Code and Diabetes Code.
I respect Dr. Fung but again he is not accurate here. It's not having too much sugar in cell cause insulin resistance but due to cells down-regulation of insulin receptors due to high insulin all the time. sheesh I'm perplexed that how lots of people have no idea what insulin resistance is, even Dr. Fung ???
@realImage vanity, Dr. Fung is an expert in his field and in the treatment of diabetes. I’m sure he is correct about what he is saying. He may be explaining it in a way that uses an analogy so that the layperson can understand and that communicates the general concept of what is happening. If you have a better explanation, perhaps you should create a RUclips video to offer it in a way that is both accurate and that a layperson can easily understand. I would look forward to seeing your video.
@realImage vanity, yes-“too high insulin all the time” causes insulin resistance. But why was the insulin high in the first place? Too much sugar!! When insulin is working properly, it causes the sugar to go into the cells. When there is too much sugar constantly, there is also too much insulin constantly. That is what causes the cells to become resistant to insulin. Dr. Fung’s explanation is both accurate and excellent for the general population to understand with ease, which is demonstrated by all the praising comments which thank him for breaking this down in a way that is not overly complicated. Edit: See also Dr. Sten Ekberg’s YT video “What is Insulin Resistance?” He gives the same explanation as Dr. Fung, including that “the cell has too much sugar,” and this, along with the constant presence of insulin, is the cause of insulin resistance.
@@Danielle-nz9tn “But why was the insulin high in the first place?” That is a good question. But it’s not due to a high carbohydrate diet, I will guarantee you that. All credits goes to Sir Phillips Randle who discovered more than half century ago that glucose and fatty acids compete for oxidation in mitochondria. The problem with metabolic syndrome stems from diet of high carbohydrates and high fat diet which modern diet indulges frequently. at least in all vertebrates there is metabolic states of feast and fasting, and there is a robust ways that placed to regulates these states. In fasted states mitochondria mainly oxidized fats due to low glucose concentration in circulation and in fed state (carb based diet) mitochondria oxidized mostly glucose. Animals’ body oxidized different substrates, depending on their concentration in the circulation. Sadly modern diet is full of processed carbohydrates and fats which overwhelm circulation with fat and glucose, this immediately creates gridlocks in mitochondria. - Randle cycles says that fat and glucose competes each other for oxidation in mitochondria. Also when you gets metabolically sicker the tolerance of these mixed diet goes very low, due to damaged mitochondria. So, to make it short it’s not just carbohydrates or fat alone which causes insulin resistance but frequent combination of high carb and high fat diet which also damage mitochondria. So, what causes insulin high??? if you connect the above dots, it becomes easy to understand. when you jam mitochondria and can’t oxidized both glucose and fat as one should, then you will have high glucose and fat in circulation longer than it should, this triggers more and more insulin secretion to force push glucose and fat into cells, this also creates insulin resistance as a consequences.
@@realimagevanity2289 that quite lengthy explanation does not explain how multitudes of people have reversed insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes through a ketogenic diet that is HIGH IN FATS and low in carbs and through nutritional ketosis/fat burning due to fasting. The high fat diet obviously does not activate insulin and contribute to insulin resistance whereas a high carb diet does.
Insulin resistance usually keeps you hungry. You'll also always be hungry if your diet was high in carbohydrates. If you eat a high-fat low carb diet for a week or two before your fast you'll find it to be must easier.
cause you have too much insulin flooding your blood vessels. Also preventing fat burning. level of insulin increase through decades also lowering it take sometimes. don't give up start with few hours fasting and train your body to go longer believe me you will decrease your total insulin. infact fasting is the only natural solution to reverse insulin sensitivity.
Justin Y. it depends on how bad your insulin resistance is. to make it faster do at least 10,000 steps of walk everyday. and another very crucial thing is make sure you have good quality sleep every night, I cant over emphasize the benefit of sleep to lower insulin resistance, if you have to take prescribed med, you have to do it. 1,intermittent fasting 2, walk every day 3, have quality sleep,, good luck.
Peace be upon you believe in ALLAH (GOD) and the judgement day and do good deeds. don't show non well covered women that will be better for you in this life and the hereafter.

I am from Scarborough. I'm just so proud of Dr. Fung.
Trick that works for me w hunger and getting over sugar cravings. I start w chia seeds in the morning, very filling and no glycemic, and then early afternoon I chop up and eat garlic clove. No hunger at all.
Love this kind of educator. Thanks doctor
By far the best doctor I have come across. What a proud product of Canada.
Wonderful... Best solution. Excellent video.
That's what I'm doing at the age of 60.
Fasting and exercise.
Two meals only. Morning and afternoon.
And then Fasting till morning.
In the evening exercise.
The clearest explanation ever. Thanks!!
This Doctor is an absolute legand.
Yes! I think I will be able to remember the suitcase analogy and understand what I need to change.
You make it beautifully clear for anyone to follow, thank you!
Ur the only one explained perfectly I watched other videos omg i dnt get their analogy for me to understand but thank God i found ur video
Like helloo lol... Dr. you make so much sense!!! I love how short this video is with this Simple theory! 😏🧡💙👏👏
Love this explanation
Very well explained. Thank you.
you're the best Dr. Fung
This is really good. Very well explained.
Nice Explanation..
Easily to understand..👍👍👍
Very well explained, Great
Explained very simple.. even a dumb like me can understand
Literally same
thanks Doc Jason Fung from the Phils God bless
Thank you doc, very useful information and easy to understand 👍👍👍👍
Waw amazing explanation thatk you....
Finally someone is sensible
The man is a brilliant mind 👏
Best explanation ever ✅👍🏼 💯👌🏻
i really like u doctor. i love the way u explain
Jason Fung thank you you rock !!!! Spread fasting to help people !!!!!!
Very good
yes.
Finally a video that really dumbs it down thanks :)
Perfect....
So simple
insulin resistance caused me to be 2015 pounds even though i eat the same amount of calories of an average kid
So why, oh why do we need to do our own research to find this out?? Why isn’t this taught in schools, biology 101..
Because there are people benefiting from hiding this
Some drug companies want money💸💸
if the cells are full of sugar, why would insulin resistance cause lethargy and weakness?
Insulin is working to burn that sugar to energy in the cells. If the body does not allow insulin to enter to cells, you dont get energy and you dont burn that sugar. Thats why you become weak.
Great! Important information. Thanks Dr. Fung. Can someone without diabetes also be insulin resistant or is insuline resistance equivalent to diabetes?
Mar cia It’s also a pre-cursor to type II diabetes
Yes, everyone can be. I am 65, yet not diabetic, but have skin tags for last many many years, which are sure sign of insuline resistances. I wonder, what kept me away from being declared diabetic.

@@azharmasood57 Are you always hungry ?
The best thing is no one dies of not eating.
👍🏼You don't need that much food to survive
u never heard of famine... privileged stupidity
God bless U

Alhamdulillah 🙏
Dr. Neal Barnard has a completely different story on insulin resistant.. 😁😁

@@ibuumar but then you need to be certain the fat comes in from fatty food or carbs thru De novo lipogenesis
So is this the reason i have very low ketone levels even when i fast? Yet sometimes my MOJO reads hypo. I don't get it.

@@Danielle-nz9tn Thank you, i will. I'm still working on it.
Can I just buy a larger suitcase? One on wheels preferably.
Doug McFarlane Doug dear if you wanted to have a bigger metaphoric suitcase you would probably not be watching this video, yeah?
😂😂😂😂
When you get insulin resistance then you see if you want a larger case
You will need medications mate
Which is the evidence that the insulin resistance is because the cell is full and that why don’t accept anymore glucose?
the fatty liver

Actually insulin resistant or diabetic have too much glucose in blood but very low intercellular(inside actual cell) glucose than healthy people.
